InPresence 0031: The Super ESP Hypothesis

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he notes that “Super ESP” or “living agent psi” is a hypothesis offered as an alternative to postmortem survival when explaining data from spiritualist mediums or reincarnation. He offers two strong examples that people view differently: the “chess gave from beyond the grave” and the “Watseka Wonder”. He also brings up the concept of “tolerance of ambiguity” and the work of psychologist Frank X. Barron.
