00:00:03.854 --> 00:00:06.009
[ Mystery and paranormal powers ]
00:00:06.947 --> 00:00:12.778
Mystery: anything that is still unknown, not understood or discovered.
00:00:12.878 --> 00:00:17.379
Unfortunately for many people mystery is not mysterious at all,
00:00:17.479 --> 00:00:22.385
because they immediately associate it with spirituality or anything else known to them.
00:00:22.485 --> 00:00:25.557
Mystery is used as an argument for religion.
00:00:25.657 --> 00:00:31.041
When something can not be explained at the time, it is attributed to religion, divinity.
00:00:31.908 --> 00:00:35.186
It is a misunderstood concept by most people.
00:00:35.286 --> 00:00:42.973
Remember: Mystery is anything that is still unknown, not understood or discovered.
00:00:50.603 --> 00:00:54.237
Paranormal: What lies beyond what is normal.
00:00:54.337 --> 00:00:59.250
Many claim to have psychic powers and many others strongly believe in them.
00:00:59.350 --> 00:01:05.015
From witches to today's psychics, all are the same, just the name is different...
00:01:09.089 --> 00:01:13.630
Well almost, fearsome and skeptic, James Randy.
00:01:14.746 --> 00:01:17.498
He's devoted his whole life to bunking psychics.
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:23.941
And no psychic however well known escapes his tireless crusade to expose them as frauds.
00:01:24.176 --> 00:01:31.096
And then it gets soft, so I see to it bend, bend and it bends.
00:01:34.757 --> 00:01:37.452
So confident is Randy that psychics don't exist,
00:01:37.552 --> 00:01:43.454
he's put up one million dollar of his own money as reward to anybody who can prove they have psychic powers.
00:01:45.048 --> 00:01:48.001
Peter Popoff Ministries - Extreme Emergency Pledge
00:01:49.059 --> 00:01:54.064
During the 1980s I undered the world that I found filled with fallacy,
00:01:54.164 --> 00:01:58.530
and rife with abuse, the world of athium.
00:01:59.007 --> 00:02:02.633
I developed a special interest in a television's evangelist
00:02:02.733 --> 00:02:04.581
named Peter Popoff.
00:02:04.681 --> 00:02:10.669
God told me, he said you smite that cancer with your fist.
00:02:11.295 --> 00:02:15.412
At the time Popoff was pulling a nearly four million dollars a year,
00:02:15.512 --> 00:02:18.811
healing people on his miracle crusades.
00:02:18.975 --> 00:02:21.571
You've got cancer of the stomach.
00:02:21.884 --> 00:02:25.204
Are you ready for God to burn that cancer out?
00:02:25.617 --> 00:02:28.071
Here it goes in the mighty.
00:02:30.481 --> 00:02:33.000
Devil back off
00:02:33.724 --> 00:02:36.191
Back off devil
00:02:36.291 --> 00:02:39.977
Alleluia, Alleluia
00:02:40.077 --> 00:02:41.980
You really believe you are healed?
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.398
Yes, I believe it
00:02:44.498 --> 00:02:46.253
Do you think her cancer is gone now?
00:02:46.353 --> 00:02:53.000
Yes I believe that, because God never lies and we stand in his words. Praise the Lord.
00:02:53.100 --> 00:02:57.233
I tell you for now on you are going to have a solid victory in your heart
00:02:57.333 --> 00:02:58.333
Amen
00:02:58.433 --> 00:03:02.624
To his followers, Popoff seems to have divine powers.
00:03:03.321 --> 00:03:06.071
Is it Gool, Alex Gool?
00:03:07.630 --> 00:03:08.630
He knew their names
00:03:08.730 --> 00:03:10.105
Stand up Alex
00:03:10.205 --> 00:03:12.913
As well as the affections they come to cure
00:03:13.013 --> 00:03:15.744
God is touching the thyroid condition right now
00:03:16.555 --> 00:03:18.901
God is touching your nerves right now
00:03:19.001 --> 00:03:22.834
God is touching your eyes, just lift up your hands, get ready, here it comes
00:03:23.304 --> 00:03:26.012
He also knew the personal details of their lives.
00:03:26.112 --> 00:03:29.005
You're going to hear good news from Charles, before everything is **,
00:03:29.105 --> 00:03:33.778
he's going to be completely delivered, because of your prairies, because of your bait?
00:03:33.878 --> 00:03:40.228
here it comes, complete ? Jesus. Uf mighty ??? right now, right now
00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:47.002
I suspected that Popoff's revelations where other that divine.
00:03:48.613 --> 00:03:54.012
Radio's scanner we brought to the whole pic that decidedly ? the source.
00:03:56.876 --> 00:03:59.194
Hello PD, can you hear me?
00:03:59.294 --> 00:04:01.527
if you can't you're in trouble.
00:04:02.202 --> 00:04:05.025
Popoff was being ? by his wife
00:04:05.438 --> 00:04:07.272
trough a wireless earpiece.
00:04:07.649 --> 00:04:10.015
John?
00:04:10.771 --> 00:04:12.075
? Joseph
00:04:13.573 --> 00:04:16.758
She got her information from prairie cards,
00:04:16.858 --> 00:04:20.023
filled out by the faithful before the show began.
00:04:20.556 --> 00:04:22.980
She wants to get rid of the walker.
00:04:23.543 --> 00:04:26.700
You want to get rid of this walker, sister?
00:04:29.950 --> 00:04:32.986
Oh Lord, how long have you been walking on that walker?
00:04:33.086 --> 00:04:34.672
About three years.
00:04:34.772 --> 00:04:35.772
Three years?
00:04:35.872 --> 00:04:38.704
She lives in 1627 Kent Street.
00:04:38.804 --> 00:04:40.956
1627 Kent Street?
00:04:42.103 --> 00:04:43.682
That's right.
00:04:43.782 --> 00:04:45.644
She's got arthritis.
00:04:45.744 --> 00:04:49.193
Uh! Burning this arthritis!
00:04:49.314 --> 00:04:51.448
Right out of your body.
00:04:51.881 --> 00:04:56.390
Take just a few step to make the devil mad, Alleluia/Hallelujah. That's it just move around.
00:04:56.490 --> 00:04:58.047
A little bit, there she goes.
00:04:58.189 --> 00:04:59.867
Just walk with me.
00:04:59.967 --> 00:05:03.018
Oh lord, she's not going to need that walker anymore.
00:05:03.118 --> 00:05:08.400
God just put a new strength a new health. Burn in hell arthritis out of her body!
00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:11.039
Just keep going, Alleluia/Hallelujah
00:05:11.139 --> 00:05:15.006
I was able to arrange another broadcast of the miracle crusade,
00:05:15.106 --> 00:05:20.142
on the tonight show. But this time the wireless popping was included.
00:05:21.827 --> 00:05:26.094
In 1997, Peter Popoff declared bankruptcy.
00:05:27.672 --> 00:05:32.352
Prayer is he, prayer is he.
00:05:34.741 --> 00:05:38.004
Psychics in most cases are self polluting
00:05:38.104 --> 00:05:41.788
and they take advantage of the people who pay them for their services.
00:05:42.293 --> 00:05:46.503
I have been looking all over the world for someone who has psychic powers,
00:05:46.603 --> 00:05:49.018
now I don't expect to find any because my experience
00:05:49.118 --> 00:05:53.721
is always, in every case, been negative.
00:05:54.126 --> 00:05:57.611
The fact that I haven't found one, doesn't mean they don't exist.
00:05:57.966 --> 00:06:03.591
All it means is that I somewhat biest against belief in psychics,
00:06:03.691 --> 00:06:07.289
and for that very good reason. There's no evidence to support it.
00:06:07.602 --> 00:06:10.902
After all, if someone really had psychic powers,
00:06:11.087 --> 00:06:15.000
which would be extraordinary to witness, why hide it?
00:06:21.640 --> 00:06:24.022
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS
00:06:34.052 --> 00:06:45.057
[ 1) Educating human beings / 2) Focusing on science ]
00:06:49.857 --> 00:06:54.955
If I can assure of the world, the real world around me as is possible,
00:06:55.055 --> 00:06:56.847
now if I can only obtain that to a certain degree,
00:06:56.947 --> 00:07:02.501
but I want the greatest degree of control, I don't... I've never involved myself in narcotics of any kind
00:07:02.601 --> 00:07:06.270
I don't smoke, I don't drink, because...
00:07:06.370 --> 00:07:10.181
that can easily just close the edges of my rationality,
00:07:10.281 --> 00:07:12.414
close the edges if my reasoning powers,
00:07:12.514 --> 00:07:15.700
And I want to be as aware as I possible can
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.912
that means giving up a lot of fantasies that might be comforting in some ways
00:07:21.012 --> 00:07:25.499
but I going to give that up in order to live in an actually real world
00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:27.000
as closest I can get to it
00:07:37.197 --> 00:07:40.475
It's pathetic that some people try to con others,
00:07:40.575 --> 00:07:45.951
it is even more pathetic that some people are allowing themselves to be fooled.
00:07:46.406 --> 00:07:49.521
It has made an industry out of curiosity.
00:07:49.621 --> 00:07:53.247
A lack of education stands out among gullible people,
00:07:53.347 --> 00:07:56.597
and among those who orchestrate this.
