The voice of a skeptic is a matter of perspective: do words of skepticism come from an external voice, such as those expressed by Dr. Bryan Farha, or do they arise from our own duality — best described by the yin and yang of Chinese philosophy?
In part 2, Dr. Farha discusses his television appearance on the Larry King show with psychic Sylvia Browne.
Are we advocating any one side of the paranormal — pro or con? The answer is “no” … we feel that anyone with a studied opinion deserves your attention.
Is it possible for the scientific community to accept for serious inquiry the existence of what psychics claim as our “sixth sense”? The sixth sense, often referred to as intuition, collects information is its most pure and literal form (unlike the other 5 senses) and cannot be filtered by “thinking” the answer. To do so, say psychics, runs the risk of adulterating the message.
But who is to say exactly what reality is? We ask that you judge for yourself whether scientific examination takes a seat at the board room, along with intuition and personal encounters.
Our guest today, professor Bryan Farha, editor of the critical thinking anthology, Pseudoscience and Deception: The Smoke and Mirrors of Paranormal Claims, will be here to discuss a life time of inquiry into the world of paranormal phenomenon
