Skeptics are (un-aware) Regular-Medicine-Fundamentalists ?
( And we blame the Muslims ?)
EUROPE, The Netherlands, 7 may 2005
By Frank Eeken bc.
[A free-lance writer. Just a concerned citizen. A simple soul]
What the Skeptics are very good at, is criticising others / Alternative-Medicine (AM). A negative attitude, without self-reflection, towards life and reality, with which they bother millions and millions of people. My few E-mails are just a drip in, and compared to, their mass-network-bucket poored in the world's (psychical) ocean. Because the Skeptical words do find a way to mass-media and the positive-results, proof and evidence of AM do not, which strangely enough some 'believe' and seems to be the only difference between so-called scientific-evidence and non-sense. Media-dictatorship in our 'so-called' precious Democracy for which, and out-off, many wars are 'believed' to be fought!
The pre-justice of the Skeptics can be shown in the fact that psychology and psychologists, which are well-represented within the Skeptical-organizations around the world, are widely accepted, used and promoted including their treatments, despite reality that these treatments are not scientific at all. In otherwords "Psychologists using quack, fraudulent methodology bases" (see text below - by retired Lawyer of the High Court and Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia - Victor Zammit). This attitude and preference, for 'some kind' of fellow-humans who underline the Skeptic-'believe', is in my opinion not at all in line with evolution, human-rights, international standards, goals and reality. The "equalilty-treatment-principle" which is the core of our 'so-called' precious Democracy.
The Skeptics say that AM must show that their treatments are working, healing and curing. Even better, the Skeptics preach, that they have already concluded that AM / the Paranormal is not-working and/or it does not exist, without scientific back-up. And if thousands of AM-visitors and RM-practitioners who researche, proof and practise AM / the Paranormal, even a Lawyer of the High Court and Supreme Court of New South Wales, claim that AM / the paranormal is working, healing and curing, than the Skeptics already know almost certain presumptively that these people are lying, frauds and fools.
From this nonsensical reasoning it is very clear that these few Skeptics compared to mass AM-population, are dogmatic, and maybe even Regular-Medicine-fundamentalistic-all-means-are-allowed, believers who will never change and be brought to different thinking, minds (which they might 'believe' is critical rational thinking, but which I call deny-ignoring-behaviour out of ego, incapability, not-willing or not knowing how to cope with people who think differently. Reality !) by e.g. international scientific evidence or statements from thousands of AM-fellow-humans. It is of no use and a waste of time to produce more AM-evidence, if the present already available AM-evidence is not seen, not heard, ignored of not understood, by these few Skeptics, at the cost of millions of people who could benefit more from AM if a more positive approach, in and out of personal resonsibility and liability, was choosen.
If the Skeptics are in the opinion that there is no solid evidence needed, to show that AM is not-working, as preached, than this discussion is meaningless and redundant, because it is obvious that it is about believe-conviction which cannot be scientificly supported. Naturally the Skeptics can believe what they want, but it is unrealistic to take it ill, blame an AM-population-group or make up all kinds of fantasy names for the AM-practitioners or their messengers, as a result of non-believe of this Skeptical conservative way of thinking. The hearing deaf and seeing blind (for a personal reason). The Passion of the Un-aware ! (of Christ's intentions)

She couldn't do anything with that thought. She was in good health and felt fine. But the tide turned and she couldn't do anything anymore, no more energy, difficulty with breathing and no control of her legs. She started to pray and she kept on going until she felt fine and free again. When she came at the office the next day, het colleges behaved as if they had seen a ghost.

"I realised that I was unawarely been paralized by the thoughts of the people who had assumed that I was the woman who's name was in the notification". Her worldly view left enough space for non-local phenomenon If she had gone to a regular doktor who had no knowledge of healing-intentions and had complained about lack of energy, breathing difficulty and unable to move her legs, she would have surely been sent to a psychiatrist or have been prescribed medication 'to get herself under controle'."
Dossey has a web page that describes some of the recent medical studies that have been strongly indicating that distant healing is definitely taking place when people are prayed for.

On request of the American Congres the American professor statistics, dr.Jessica Utts of the University of Californie, carefully examined the research in 1996. Her conclusion was that, in light of the demands handled by current science, the existence of these phenomenon may be accounted for as proven. Maybe, says Utts, we can imagine it as a sixth sense, as our known senses reacts on changes. 'A sort of phsychic sense that is scanning the future on important changes, as our eyes are focussed on changes in our view and our ears on sudden change in sound'. According to Utts, is is a waste of time, to continue this kind of reaearch, if it is only meant to find even more evidence. 'There is few expectations of continuesly handing over evidence, for those who are not willing to accept the presently available data'."

Psychologists using quack, fraudulent methodology
Psychologists do not understand (ie, are ignorant) what technically constitutes admissible evidence. They tend to confuse psi elicited admissible evidence with 'anecdotal' evidence. For your appendix see your surgeon. For crime see a cop. For evidence you see a lawyer.
Enemies of the PSI empiricism:
Published in PSYCHIC WORLD Jan 2002
Psychology & the closed minded psychologists
By Victor Zammit - empirical psychic investigator,
Lawyer of the High Court and Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia (retired).
So, some negatively minded psychologists are trying to willfully denigrate empirical psi claiming psi is 'not scientific'? There is a noticeable consistent activity within some psychology departments to unfairly and unreasonably attack empirical psychic phenomena. It is on record that there are those anti-psychic crusader psychologists, who, for career promotion or other selfish motives, have used illegitimate means to try to undermine the acceptance of empirical objective evidence of psychic phenomena (psi).
In response to the continuous provocations from these few closed minded skeptic materialist psychologists in leadership positions, the time has come to have a very close look at the validity of traditional university psychology. A stand has to be taken against the unreasonableness of these closed-minded psychologists who deceitfully and knowingly are not using the same tests of validity they use for their own psychology experiments.
They come across as prosecutors in their psychic investigations using a presumption of fraud, and seem determined that the objective evidence for psychic phenomena must not be accepted. Psychology fought very hard to establish itself as pseudo-science and is in a really precarious position - it could disappear as a discipline. It is no wonder that some psychologists are fighting hard publicly to denounce, reject, refute even trying to ridicule psychic phenomena - something they do not want to understand yet something which is threatening the very existence of traditional psychology. There have been dramatic empirical psi positive findings by some of the most brilliant men and women who ever walked this planet earth- eg Dr Dean Radin, Prof Gary Schwartz and many physicists, psychiatrists, MD's and so many others.
By and large, in Western universities judging by the contemporary American textbooks, the core subjects for psychology are generally similar: classical works about personality, neuroscience, perception, learning, introspective concepts etc with emphasis on comparative theories. In practical work, the laboratory research usually entails duplicating Pavlov, Skinner's schedules of reinforcement and other experiments.
Why are psychology departments most hostile to psychic phenomena? This is probably because scientific findings in psychic phenomena will fundamentally invalidate the whole known field of psychology particularly Freud, Jungian, Behaviourism and other theories of learning perceived to be 'untouchable' and which are all mostly unscientific. Most of psychology will have to be re-learned when successful scientific psychic experiments conducted privately inevitably become also accepted at universities.
The discovery of non-physical energy-force will inevitably revolutionise traditional science and will make nugatory most of existing 'knowledge' in psychology.
Psychology itself is not a pedigree subject. It is a conglomerate made up from bits and pieces psychology 'stole' from different disciplines including physics, medicine, biology, physiology, neurology, philosophy, statistics, physical science, scientific methodology, hypnosis, sociology, anthropology and religion – see below. Without these said collective disciplines there is no psychology at universities.
Society knows, psychologists and psychics know too that traditional psychology has come to a dead end. A large number of psychologists who have accepted psychic/spiritual phenomena have decided to break away from the mainstream psychology and formed Transpersonal Psychology - which allows for the laws of psychic – non-physical energy - and spiritual experience to complement traditional psychology. It also allows the promotion of spiritual therapies, ecology, philosophy and the arts and sciences. Their future is guaranteed as inevitably the psychic/spiritual laws will one day become dominant at universities.
Two reasons why materialist psychology continues to dominate universities are because it does not contradict existing materialist knowledge and it denies spirituality.
At universities during a psychology lecture on operant conditioning psychology students are told that love is nothing more than just massive continuous positive reinforcement - a rather materialistic, reductionist, mechanistic erroneous view of the most important and powerful force known in the universe.
Secondly, psychology promotes materialism - as distinct from fulfilling a function which psychology was originally created: to assist society in its enormous social and other problems - all these problems, suicide, drug addiction, alcoholism, crime, depression, have been getting worse since psychology became a formal discipline. In ALL these aforementioned phenomena psychology – because psychology is NOT scientific -miserably has very sadly failed.
Psychologists using quack, fraudulent methodology
A self confessed anti-psychic who was a leading British Professor (of Psychology) belonged to a group which allegedly 'scientifically' examined psychic phenomena - the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) in the 70's.
This anti-psychic Professor of Psychology tried to denigrate and destroy the high credibility of the Professor J.B. Rhine's, ESP Pratt-Pearce experiments when experts hostile to the psychic phenomena in the U.S. were satisfied with the scientific method used by Dr Rhine and never raised the issue of fraud.
Using verbal sleight of hand - without having examined the ESP experiments, without using scientific method, without objectivity whatsoever, without a shred of evidence - this professor stated that, 'since ESP is not possible, fraud must have taken place.'!
This kind of quack 'psychology method' being used by some materialist closed minded psychologists shows how the "impossible-to-pass test" being used on psychic phenomena was not being used to test 'established' principles psychologists swear by.
On the other hand psychologists are using a lower threshold of proof. It is known that psychologists have used principles on to the public if their experimental results yielded a probability of one in twenty of it being right. Perhaps this accounts for the delay - sometimes years - before patients experience some cure.
One has to keep in mind that science does NOT support the validity of applied psychological principles being used on humans even to-day.
In a court session, if this Professor of Psychology tried to argue the way he did he would indubitably be told by a senior judge something like:
"But Professor, this is not a kindergarten debate here. The rules of evidence are very clear. The rules of evidence will not permit you to enter into evidence personal opinion unless they were substantiated by some independent or objective means ... "
Another most memorable highly unfairly and negatively prejudicial statement made by closed minded Professor of Psychology at Harvard, Hugo Muenstenberg, set the policy for materialist psychology. When he went to see Edgar Cayce, one of the greatest psychics not only the United States, but this world has ever seen, he announced: "Edgar Cayce, I came here to expose you."
BEFORE he had done any investigations, he had publicly stated that he did not believe in communication between intelligences from the afterlife violating every rule in scientific method, "... it does not exist and will not exist." Would you call this Professor of psychology a 'scientist'? Of course not – no wonder, scientists deny psychology is a 'science.'!
What is most unfair, unreasonable and most cowardly is that these kinds of illogical and unscientific psychologists are in Britain given free reign on television, radio and newspapers but no reasonable time is given to the empirical psi researchers to the articulate their argument. In Australia and the USA the argument appears to be more balanced.
As a matter of fact, privately funded programs are being shown on television demonstrating psychic phenomena by highly gifted psychics such as John Edward where some of his 'hits' show that the mathematical probability of the information being obtained by chance has been calculated by statisticians to be 1 in 3 trillions. Translated, this means that the information being obtained by this gifted psychic has to come from where this medium states it is coming from - the afterlife!
A critical issue is also that at universities the negative attitude of presumption of invalidity is not being applied to psychology itself. If the universities did, there would be very little pure psychology around - if any.
Psychology is NOT scientific
Borrowing a page from the aggressive techniques used by those closed-minded materialist psychologists and other skeptics who are using psychology or "parapsychology" to try to belittle, denigrate and ridicule psychic phenomena this is how psychics and society ought to see psychology. The gist of the argument is that psychology in the strictest terms is NOT scientific!
Just some problems of psychology:
• All introspective psychology including Freudian and Jungian is totally one hundred percent UNSCIENTIFIC. This is already 50% of psychology.
• The UNSIENTIFIC 'process' of psychoanalysis has shown itself to be unreliable, highly expensive, ineffective and irrelevant to health even after years of treatment.
• Psychology has not been able to develop a reliable cure for depression - in many instances, psychotherapy has deepened depression – because psychology is NOT scientific.
• Psychiatry using psychological techniques has failed to guarantee mental health.
• Psychiatry has now virtually dumped psychology and switched to drug therapy.
• The psychological technique of Razran (aversion therapy) was a complete disaster maiming many patients – was totally UNSCIENTIFIC.
• Shock therapy by psychologists is still being used notwithstanding its treatment is harmful, inefficient and ineffective – and unscientific.
• Psychotherapy in many instances has prolonged the patient's problems.
• Applied Skinnerian Schedules of Reinforcement failed miserably in the U.S Army war machine and in psychiatric hospitals.
• Psychological principles of incentives proved irrelevant in psychiatric hospitals - bordering on quackery where some patients become more depressed.
• Behaviourism has shown to be effective in dealing with laboratory rats but has not convincingly transferred to human behaviour.
• Most of classical and operant conditioning have shown to be marginal if at all relevant.
• Brain functioning experiments are the strict jurisdiction of biologists, and physiologists. Psychologists 'stole' the brain functioning from biology.
• Medical science has shown that psychology is fundamentally incorrect in assuming that the mind and the brain are one - huge parts of the brain have been removed and patients can still perform efficient cognitive and manual functions.
• Psychologists are doing the work of sociologists in social experiments.
• Cheating and fraud have been discovered in psychology eg. in the famous twin studies.
• The courts have accepted that psychology is not objective (scientific) because the courts allowed for multiple interpretations of the same event. If psychology were scientific there would be only ONE interpretation.
• Psychology has failed to effect fundamental behavioural changes in prisons – inmates perceiving it as 'quackery.'
The latest craze in psychology – phenomenology is 100% subjective, ie NOT SCIENTIFIC – it would be a waste of time, money and energy – AND CHEATING to call phenomenology 'scientific!'
• Stripped from all its encroached disciplines - medicine, physics, physical science etc, what left in psychology is nothing but formalised 'common sense.'
• Biological desensitisation in psychology is a steal from pure Buddhist meditation.
• Psychology has failed to effect solutions to modify human behaviour on a big picture scale - the way other disciplines have. Psychology has failed to reduce the huge problems in society of suicides (around 40 to 50,000 a year in the U.S.), alcohol addiction, drugs, crime and other serious problems of growing alienation. All these problems are on the increase – if psychology were a science the world would get positive results – not continuous exacerbation of these problems!
Consistently, closed minded skeptic psychologists do not take into account their own intrinsic negativity as a negative intervening variable which inevitably distorts their results when they try to investigate psychic phenomena. This has now been empirically validated – see 'the Experimenter Effect'. Psychology has had more than generous funding considering it has not produced results and considering psychology has come to a dead-end. There have been no major breakthroughs in psychology in the last 20 years! Psychology in fact has come to a dead end! The time has come for the government, all politicians, bureaucracy and the taxpayers to review the cost / benefit of further funding to psychology, Psychology has been changed to actively promote materialism as distinct from fulfilling the original function it was created for: to reduce the huge problems of society,
In context of the above, the submission is that the time has come for the taxpayers to look very closely into the merits and demerits of psychology and to fund any projects in psychology contingent on proven results. Funding to psychology ought to be halved to allow the creation of departments of psychic research from those who are non-materialistically competent and genuine who can bring about the knowledge to revolutionise learning - a new learning in all disciplines which WILL inexorably come about anyway.
One would have to be living in a vacuum not to notice that the leadership of the psychic community and the spiritualist organisations do not have the confidence in those crusading academic skeptic psychologists females and males who have been funded by the strong anti-paranormal organisations on the heinous and deceitful pretence that they are conducting psychic experiments impartially.
The good news is that empirical psi is gaining acceptance by the 'new science' – and it only when the non material energy-force is given more funding that the revolution in science will really commence. Psychology as abovestated, will undergo fundamental changes and will almost certain join Transpersonal Psychology.

His research surrounded 1200 patients, which had a bypass-operation. Only the fact that under the auspicien of 'Harvard-research', reeearch was done on the effects of non-local-healing, says it all. The fact that this kind of research presently is being carried out at top-institutions, under controle of respected scientists, has contributed many in the United States of taking away the psychological and scientific resistance against it ".

On request of the American Congres the American professor statistics, dr.Jessica Utts of the University of Californie, carefully examined the research in 1996. Her conclusion was that, in light of the demands handled by current science, the existence of these phenomenon may be accounted for as proven. Maybe, says Utts, we can imagine it as a sixth sense, as our known senses reacts on changes. 'A sort of phsychic sense that is scanning the future on important changes, as our eyes are focussed on changes in our view and our ears on sudden change in sound'. According to Utts, is is a waste of time, to continue this kind of reaearch, if it is only meant to find even more evidence. 'There is few expectations of continuesly handing over evidence, for those who are not willing to accept the presently available data'."

Psychologists using quack, fraudulent methodology
Psychologists do not understand (ie, are ignorant) what technically constitutes admissible evidence. They tend to confuse psi elicited admissible evidence with 'anecdotal' evidence. For your appendix see your surgeon. For crime see a cop. For evidence you see a lawyer.
Enemies of the PSI empiricism:
Published in PSYCHIC WORLD Jan 2002
Psychology & the closed minded psychologists
By Victor Zammit - empirical psychic investigator,
Lawyer of the High Court and Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia (retired).
So, some negatively minded psychologists are trying to willfully denigrate empirical psi claiming psi is 'not scientific'? There is a noticeable consistent activity within some psychology departments to unfairly and unreasonably attack empirical psychic phenomena. It is on record that there are those anti-psychic crusader psychologists, who, for career promotion or other selfish motives, have used illegitimate means to try to undermine the acceptance of empirical objective evidence of psychic phenomena (psi).
In response to the continuous provocations from these few closed minded skeptic materialist psychologists in leadership positions, the time has come to have a very close look at the validity of traditional university psychology. A stand has to be taken against the unreasonableness of these closed-minded psychologists who deceitfully and knowingly are not using the same tests of validity they use for their own psychology experiments.
They come across as prosecutors in their psychic investigations using a presumption of fraud, and seem determined that the objective evidence for psychic phenomena must not be accepted. Psychology fought very hard to establish itself as pseudo-science and is in a really precarious position - it could disappear as a discipline. It is no wonder that some psychologists are fighting hard publicly to denounce, reject, refute even trying to ridicule psychic phenomena - something they do not want to understand yet something which is threatening the very existence of traditional psychology. There have been dramatic empirical psi positive findings by some of the most brilliant men and women who ever walked this planet earth- eg Dr Dean Radin, Prof Gary Schwartz and many physicists, psychiatrists, MD's and so many others.
By and large, in Western universities judging by the contemporary American textbooks, the core subjects for psychology are generally similar: classical works about personality, neuroscience, perception, learning, introspective concepts etc with emphasis on comparative theories. In practical work, the laboratory research usually entails duplicating Pavlov, Skinner's schedules of reinforcement and other experiments.
Why are psychology departments most hostile to psychic phenomena? This is probably because scientific findings in psychic phenomena will fundamentally invalidate the whole known field of psychology particularly Freud, Jungian, Behaviourism and other theories of learning perceived to be 'untouchable' and which are all mostly unscientific. Most of psychology will have to be re-learned when successful scientific psychic experiments conducted privately inevitably become also accepted at universities.
The discovery of non-physical energy-force will inevitably revolutionise traditional science and will make nugatory most of existing 'knowledge' in psychology.
Psychology itself is not a pedigree subject. It is a conglomerate made up from bits and pieces psychology 'stole' from different disciplines including physics, medicine, biology, physiology, neurology, philosophy, statistics, physical science, scientific methodology, hypnosis, sociology, anthropology and religion – see below. Without these said collective disciplines there is no psychology at universities.
Society knows, psychologists and psychics know too that traditional psychology has come to a dead end. A large number of psychologists who have accepted psychic/spiritual phenomena have decided to break away from the mainstream psychology and formed Transpersonal Psychology - which allows for the laws of psychic – non-physical energy - and spiritual experience to complement traditional psychology. It also allows the promotion of spiritual therapies, ecology, philosophy and the arts and sciences. Their future is guaranteed as inevitably the psychic/spiritual laws will one day become dominant at universities.
Two reasons why materialist psychology continues to dominate universities are because it does not contradict existing materialist knowledge and it denies spirituality.
At universities during a psychology lecture on operant conditioning psychology students are told that love is nothing more than just massive continuous positive reinforcement - a rather materialistic, reductionist, mechanistic erroneous view of the most important and powerful force known in the universe.
Secondly, psychology promotes materialism - as distinct from fulfilling a function which psychology was originally created: to assist society in its enormous social and other problems - all these problems, suicide, drug addiction, alcoholism, crime, depression, have been getting worse since psychology became a formal discipline. In ALL these aforementioned phenomena psychology – because psychology is NOT scientific -miserably has very sadly failed.
Psychologists using quack, fraudulent methodology
A self confessed anti-psychic who was a leading British Professor (of Psychology) belonged to a group which allegedly 'scientifically' examined psychic phenomena - the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) in the 70's.
This anti-psychic Professor of Psychology tried to denigrate and destroy the high credibility of the Professor J.B. Rhine's, ESP Pratt-Pearce experiments when experts hostile to the psychic phenomena in the U.S. were satisfied with the scientific method used by Dr Rhine and never raised the issue of fraud.
Using verbal sleight of hand - without having examined the ESP experiments, without using scientific method, without objectivity whatsoever, without a shred of evidence - this professor stated that, 'since ESP is not possible, fraud must have taken place.'!
This kind of quack 'psychology method' being used by some materialist closed minded psychologists shows how the "impossible-to-pass test" being used on psychic phenomena was not being used to test 'established' principles psychologists swear by.
On the other hand psychologists are using a lower threshold of proof. It is known that psychologists have used principles on to the public if their experimental results yielded a probability of one in twenty of it being right. Perhaps this accounts for the delay - sometimes years - before patients experience some cure.
One has to keep in mind that science does NOT support the validity of applied psychological principles being used on humans even to-day.
In a court session, if this Professor of Psychology tried to argue the way he did he would indubitably be told by a senior judge something like:
"But Professor, this is not a kindergarten debate here. The rules of evidence are very clear. The rules of evidence will not permit you to enter into evidence personal opinion unless they were substantiated by some independent or objective means ... "
Another most memorable highly unfairly and negatively prejudicial statement made by closed minded Professor of Psychology at Harvard, Hugo Muenstenberg, set the policy for materialist psychology. When he went to see Edgar Cayce, one of the greatest psychics not only the United States, but this world has ever seen, he announced: "Edgar Cayce, I came here to expose you."
BEFORE he had done any investigations, he had publicly stated that he did not believe in communication between intelligences from the afterlife violating every rule in scientific method, "... it does not exist and will not exist." Would you call this Professor of psychology a 'scientist'? Of course not – no wonder, scientists deny psychology is a 'science.'!
What is most unfair, unreasonable and most cowardly is that these kinds of illogical and unscientific psychologists are in Britain given free reign on television, radio and newspapers but no reasonable time is given to the empirical psi researchers to the articulate their argument. In Australia and the USA the argument appears to be more balanced.
As a matter of fact, privately funded programs are being shown on television demonstrating psychic phenomena by highly gifted psychics such as John Edward where some of his 'hits' show that the mathematical probability of the information being obtained by chance has been calculated by statisticians to be 1 in 3 trillions. Translated, this means that the information being obtained by this gifted psychic has to come from where this medium states it is coming from - the afterlife!
A critical issue is also that at universities the negative attitude of presumption of invalidity is not being applied to psychology itself. If the universities did, there would be very little pure psychology around - if any.
Psychology is NOT scientific
Borrowing a page from the aggressive techniques used by those closed-minded materialist psychologists and other skeptics who are using psychology or "parapsychology" to try to belittle, denigrate and ridicule psychic phenomena this is how psychics and society ought to see psychology. The gist of the argument is that psychology in the strictest terms is NOT scientific!
Just some problems of psychology:
• All introspective psychology including Freudian and Jungian is totally one hundred percent UNSCIENTIFIC. This is already 50% of psychology.
• The UNSIENTIFIC 'process' of psychoanalysis has shown itself to be unreliable, highly expensive, ineffective and irrelevant to health even after years of treatment.
• Psychology has not been able to develop a reliable cure for depression - in many instances, psychotherapy has deepened depression – because psychology is NOT scientific.
• Psychiatry using psychological techniques has failed to guarantee mental health.
• Psychiatry has now virtually dumped psychology and switched to drug therapy.
• The psychological technique of Razran (aversion therapy) was a complete disaster maiming many patients – was totally UNSCIENTIFIC.
• Shock therapy by psychologists is still being used notwithstanding its treatment is harmful, inefficient and ineffective – and unscientific.
• Psychotherapy in many instances has prolonged the patient's problems.
• Applied Skinnerian Schedules of Reinforcement failed miserably in the U.S Army war machine and in psychiatric hospitals.
• Psychological principles of incentives proved irrelevant in psychiatric hospitals - bordering on quackery where some patients become more depressed.
• Behaviourism has shown to be effective in dealing with laboratory rats but has not convincingly transferred to human behaviour.
• Most of classical and operant conditioning have shown to be marginal if at all relevant.
• Brain functioning experiments are the strict jurisdiction of biologists, and physiologists. Psychologists 'stole' the brain functioning from biology.
• Medical science has shown that psychology is fundamentally incorrect in assuming that the mind and the brain are one - huge parts of the brain have been removed and patients can still perform efficient cognitive and manual functions.
• Psychologists are doing the work of sociologists in social experiments.
• Cheating and fraud have been discovered in psychology eg. in the famous twin studies.
• The courts have accepted that psychology is not objective (scientific) because the courts allowed for multiple interpretations of the same event. If psychology were scientific there would be only ONE interpretation.
• Psychology has failed to effect fundamental behavioural changes in prisons – inmates perceiving it as 'quackery.'
The latest craze in psychology – phenomenology is 100% subjective, ie NOT SCIENTIFIC – it would be a waste of time, money and energy – AND CHEATING to call phenomenology 'scientific!'
• Stripped from all its encroached disciplines - medicine, physics, physical science etc, what left in psychology is nothing but formalised 'common sense.'
• Biological desensitisation in psychology is a steal from pure Buddhist meditation.
• Psychology has failed to effect solutions to modify human behaviour on a big picture scale - the way other disciplines have. Psychology has failed to reduce the huge problems in society of suicides (around 40 to 50,000 a year in the U.S.), alcohol addiction, drugs, crime and other serious problems of growing alienation. All these problems are on the increase – if psychology were a science the world would get positive results – not continuous exacerbation of these problems!
Consistently, closed minded skeptic psychologists do not take into account their own intrinsic negativity as a negative intervening variable which inevitably distorts their results when they try to investigate psychic phenomena. This has now been empirically validated – see 'the Experimenter Effect'. Psychology has had more than generous funding considering it has not produced results and considering psychology has come to a dead-end. There have been no major breakthroughs in psychology in the last 20 years! Psychology in fact has come to a dead end! The time has come for the government, all politicians, bureaucracy and the taxpayers to review the cost / benefit of further funding to psychology, Psychology has been changed to actively promote materialism as distinct from fulfilling the original function it was created for: to reduce the huge problems of society,
In context of the above, the submission is that the time has come for the taxpayers to look very closely into the merits and demerits of psychology and to fund any projects in psychology contingent on proven results. Funding to psychology ought to be halved to allow the creation of departments of psychic research from those who are non-materialistically competent and genuine who can bring about the knowledge to revolutionise learning - a new learning in all disciplines which WILL inexorably come about anyway.
One would have to be living in a vacuum not to notice that the leadership of the psychic community and the spiritualist organisations do not have the confidence in those crusading academic skeptic psychologists females and males who have been funded by the strong anti-paranormal organisations on the heinous and deceitful pretence that they are conducting psychic experiments impartially.
The good news is that empirical psi is gaining acceptance by the 'new science' – and it only when the non material energy-force is given more funding that the revolution in science will really commence. Psychology as abovestated, will undergo fundamental changes and will almost certain join Transpersonal Psychology.
