Love the paranormal field just doubt mostly everything publically about it thats available. Anything that is real is usually covered up pretty fast.
That is what I meant when I wrote “people themselves may hide from such things simply because they are informed it is “evil” to be curious about those things let alone practice.”
When it comes to your conclusions though, to be honest, i’m hesitant to get involved with any groups mainly for the same reasons that Confucious raised from my position. This is because it can be hard to work with others. Even within your post, I disagree with some of the points you raised as a example. To me, this requires exceptional people to pull off properly. Most who do dabble are in it for the thrills from my experience which admittedly originates from hollywood or entertainment adaptions like watching a viral video that most likely has a goal of achieving likes over maintaining accountability to the field of paranormal research.
THis is exact. My own path to the study of ideomoter effect was naturally enough based upon rumor rather than science for the simply fact that no science of any rigor had been done on it and for my part, I delved into it out of desperation rather than scientific curiosity. Simply put, I had reached a point where “the living” had nothing of substance to offer me, so I thought along the lines of "before I throw the towel in, I should at least try and get some answers from “the dead” and I approached the whole thing with ritual in order to at least show “anyone who might be looking” that I was approaching it with - not fear and trembling so much as with “all due respect”. The science came a little later, as my connection with this unseen voicing taught me (through my willingness to learn and do what I was asked) how to do the science - even that as I was been taught, I had no idea it was science I was being instructed to do.
One tip that I think is important for anyone considering entering the field as a beginner though is that under stress, exhaustion, or grief, the brain’s internal filters can degrade. It struggles to separate external reality from internal thoughts, dreams, or anxieties, leading to vivid hallucinations. (Referenced from online medical sites)
One must also attend caution to all things including this.
What I mean is that I approached device well stressed out and having “suffered” so-called hallucination, and exhaustion and grief too. In reading what you wrote I saw “me” as I was back then. If not, I likely would never had gone down that path and learned what I - thankfully - did.
I can also attest to the correct use of device awarded me in the long run and explained and alleviated whilst doing so.
