- The Paranormal is Normal but Quite Different
The reports of literally thousands of persons who experienced paranormal phenomena support the conclusion that the “paranormal” is quite common and quite “normal”, but it is still tabooed by (western) societies. There is nothing supernatural behind it; interactions of spirits or disincarnate entities, or the assumption of transcendental dimensions are not needed. A rather simple expansion of the usual scientific reductionism makes it understandable.
This means that the concept of „entanglement“ which is borrowed from quantum theory is able to give a proper description of paranormal phenomena. It explains their spontaneity and elusiveness and allows coping with them. Moreover, the concept allows predictions, which can be verified experimentally.
Walter von Lucadou (Dr. rer. nat. Dr. phil. Walter von Lucadou) is a German psychologist and physicist.
Founder of Parapsychologische Beratungsstelle (parapsychological counselling office) at Freiburg, Germany.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Parapsychology is closely linked with so-called eastern mysticism,which was discussed in the book The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism by Fritjof Capra. Many parapsychology phenomena were recorded for the eastern practices e.g. meditation in Taoism, Buddhism, etc. One of my classmates experience such thing during his Qigong training. I am from China. I read a lot of parapsychology record in ancient Chinese books written more than two thousands years ago.
Ur speaking of the occult.
Fascinating! I'm going to have to watch this one again when I can give my full attention to understand it better.
Glad I found this video and channel, as well as the channels and videos in the suggested videos in the sidebar. It's nice and refreshing to see actual scientists discussing the field of Parapsychology in a scientific context, using scientific methods and generally approaching the field of Parapsychology from a scientific point of view. The common approach of "it's a ghost, look at the paranormal activity with apparitions" etc... has set the field of Parapsychology back practically since it's very inception (in Western culture anyway), causing the entire field to receive very little attention, even derision and disdain, from the scientific community at large. Hopefully, real scientists will continue to approach and speak on the subject from a scientific viewpoint, showing the scientific community (and the general public) that all the mumbo-jumbo and hocus- pocus can be ignored in favor of real science and scientific method. Great video and keep up the good work, I tip my hat to brave scientists willing to speak on the subject, even with the risk of being taken as some kind of pseudo-scientists and nut cases by their peers.
What side bar?
💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nothing should be a challenge to science. Science is just knowledge. Worldview should adapt to observable reality
It depends on what you mean by “science.”
@@JP-sd7di This is what most people mean by "science" as per Webster's: "knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation". In other words, you adapt your worldview based on experiments and observations of the real world. You DO NOT through out or ignore experimental results just because they don't fit your worldview
Okay, now ask it to quantum physics
I LEARNED SO MUCH ! ! Someone in the room unknowingly has energy entangled that moves items with a symbolic connection.
A scientific study, keep it up. Hope others also contribute and publish their works in the same way.
Look up Rupert Sheldrake. Unfortunately TED banned his talk, but the video has been reuploaded and has more than 6 million views.
I think he is saying something important but I cant figure out what it is.
Interesting. I literally saw poltergeist activity when I was younger. A female friend (19-20) was arguing on the phone with her mom. Stuff started to fly off the wall, kind of random. The building was an old stone post office converted to apartments. There was no way that movement from the building would knock stuff off. Plus I checked to see if any windows were open, there were not. She got off the phone and the activity continued for a few minutes. I was not scared, it was just odd.
So we have found the causal aspect. How exactly does it happen? Emotions are a phenomenon that arises from being alive, but how does that "force" influence objects around us?
I think undiscovered force
I think Jung classified them as types of synnchronicities. Acausal and meaningful coincidences. Which I guess 🤔 is causal or instead of causal in our sense of the term it is a sign. Working with signs and symbols because the unconscious mind works in the language of symbols. Those objects being broken all were connected with her mom. It was a symbolic and a sign her mom was not well. When she became conscious of that and accepted the meaningfullness of the synchronicity the poltergeist went away, it had done its duty.
What do you guys think am I making sense?
@@Vahe345 Perhaps :) I think it was more an outpouring of emotions and her perhaps subconscious wish to hurt her mom in those moments, but it is forbidden, so that young female force did things a person would do when they cant hurt the person, they/we go after inanimate objects to release that energy/emotion in a "safe" way. I do not believe Poltergeists are a separate entity that can do our bidding, but perhaps an extension of ourselves/the target. Like a physical emotion or energy. Or perhaps that energy might "wander" around for awhile before it dissipates. I dont think a mediumship type of communication can be set up outside the presence of the target. but maybe if the person is present it might respond emotionally to asked questions.
@@Joxman2k was it a subconscious wish to hurt the mom because she got hot in the leg during sleep and said something like I need you mom right? Or protect me I can't remember her words.
@@Vahe345 I'm not sure what you are talking about as this was an event that happened to my friend 30 years ago. My friend was talking on the phone with her mom. They got into an argument over the phone. Stuff started to move off of the walls, and it continued for a small period after she got off of the phone.
Science should be open for parapsychology who know's maybe in the far future parapsychology finds evidence for psionic abilities and ghosts
Science is just a part of it. Science can't define anything. All tests to subjects which are ever made are always just one thing of a story. Science tell you always a tiny result of what's happening in the life.
@@julie3722 lol really y don’t then it help in medical or astronomical sciences for example.
Cause parapsychology isn't something what you can understand with the mind but understand with something what is understood by our instincts. The conscious mind is too limited to get a full picture.
part of the problem is in the word paranormal.. and it makes u wonder about just how paranormal our supposed normal reality is.. because you have human minds moving around in it and controlling it... or at least aspects of it... and yet we have no real normal idea of what they are... so in a sense we are actually living in a para-normal reality when u think about it.
extraterrestrial16 you're overthinking it buddy. It's normal.
ABDIAZIZ FARAH "you're overthinking it buddy. It's normal". Not quite actually, this "normal" reality is not as normal as you think. Take a particle, look further to find a subatomic particle, look further to find vortices of vibrating energy. Even our bodies are made up of this energy. (Interesting note - Nikola Tesla said that if we want to understand the universe, think in terms of frequency and vibration) Our consciousness has been shown to have physical affects on reality. The double slit experiment which showed that when scientists observed an electron, it necessitated where it would appear (very brief summary, you definitely should search it).
This "normal" reality is far from normal, I strongly suggest you look deeper into quantum physics.
extraterrestrial16 I agree 100%. It is not known how human consciousness works. Where did it come from? Science has theories, but no credible reasons - paranormal.
When ghosts and hauntings are considered, I believe both kinds exist. If our consciousness is so strong, and contains every part of our personality, it cannot just dissipate upon death. "Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change form." (Einstein). Our consciousness came from somewhere. We do not know where - paranormal.
How do hauntings work? A haunting, according to Loyd Auerbach, is a residual "recording" of past events that replay under the right conditions. Where there is water there is a great chance for these place memories. Water conducts energy like lightning which is electricity, and the human energy is pure electricity. When our electrostatic energy imprints into the environment by psychokinesis, it gets stuck in a quantum web. When geomagnetic storms happen it can ignite this energy. This is purely theoretical, but when we consider Quantum mechanics, especially the split laser experiment (which proves electrons can be in two places at once) this could explain teleportation of an energy field.
Our reality is what we see it as. It's not set in stone. Things happen in outer space that we cannot explain, or measure. I wish science would not turn a theory away because it cannot be measured.
extraterrestrial16 many different animals have a way of life different from others like bats can use sound to move around and sharks can detect blood, we humans are the advanced species, the ones that have created many ways on living. If animals can do things other animals cant do and so do humans, what if our mind, the way we think, is just the beginning, but our mind can advance, upgrade, into a mind that can actually bend reality for example parakinesis
@@PowerPawaa I really like quantum physics
I believe in para psychology
Lots of information in india
of about para psychology
Interesting interesting I really did like the last one about poltergeists I have really been interesting in this subject for many many years
how can we get to dr Walter?
I KNOW MANY INSTITUTIONS THAT TEACH PARAPSYCHOLOGY AS A SUBJECT... AND I AM PLANNING FOR IT BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY DAD'S AGAINST IT..
MAYBE ITS BECAUSE YOU TYPE IN CAPS LOCK
I know a couple that have a degree in parapsychology but they have some kind of extra sense which they can know almost everything about me and even my future and when the dates checked for something many years later for me is like my whole world crashing down...
It's like my life is already all written, but they just left me many more questions that I wish I could ask them but don't dare to like if it's all written can it be changed and many other stuff...
Ps: no money involved so they aren't any kind of scam.
I remembered parts of my life befor it happened. Was like remembering the past but the future. Didnt even knkw it was me till it started irl. Things i saw all had emotional attachments so it was all stuff id have remembered.
Universessence is a channel where you can share this kind of ideas with like minded people.

I think it is not challenge for science rather it is growth of science and knowing one self if these are proven true the way can humanity shift that would be mind boggling
Parapsychology has an evidence problem and the problem is skeptics refuse to acknowledge t he evidence
How do you explain when things fly across the room and the objects aren't related and you aren't the only one there? When more than one person sees and experiences "poltergeist activity"? Also when the circumstances are nothing like what he's describing? Not sure this can explain every instance or even most.
Maybe not but usually its hard to discover the cause. Often things that remain unconscious is because they are too painful to allow into consciousness. So you really would have to do a lot of soul searching. If the poltergeist is consist you could maybe separate the people to see if it is only one person is responsible as a start.
@@Vahe345 I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Forensic Psychology (after a Bachelor's in the same subject) and I question that this can simply be attributed to a fugue state resulting from dissociation due to trauma. I've done plenty of research as well as soul searching, and I can assure you that the things I've seen were not perpetrated by myself or anyone else in a fugue state.
The symbolic connection is there, you just have to discover how.
I have a weird Sense i can Easily See Any One Who is Lying or Not , "Whats Under That Person ' i dont Know How ?
🔥🔥🔥
Poltergeist spotters have the talent to throw tantrums, without having any memory of it.
If anyone had paranormal abilities that are provable in a lab setting where would they report themselves to?
Go to the Randi foundation. I am interested in chatting offline if possible
This never happened mate, good luck. LOL
@@tarcisiasiniscalchi6641 they don't exist since 2015
I have had that happen since i was in a highchair its mellowed down now though
@@kalmansovari6878 it has happened. Several times actually check out the SPR's online psi encyclopedia.
Parapsychology is some thing which we dont have any enough knowledge to understand ( like quantum mechanics) its like a cave man trying to figure out, to make a rocket . Its better to research about this after we get enough respurces and
Scientific knowledge.
Normal is a relative term
Most common
So people who experience poltergeists tend to be young and angsty, attribute their mistakes to external forces and dissociate from their own actions? And that's evidence FOR telekinesis?
You dont understand the talk?
❤
so he's saying that older people are delisional and blamed breaking things that they forgot they did them selves ?????!!! what is he saying exactly ?!
Hi
I'm actually here to learn parapsychology for class
God bless him
Love his accent
Yes even I like it too
I have psychokinesis that can be measured in a lab setting, where do I go?
what can you do?
Andrew Aronson materialize objects
@@skylarmitchell8492 like what?
Andrew Aronson I can materialize objects through meditation, they appear out from nothing, so far I’ve materialized a flashlight, gloves, kettle cooked chips, weed and paraphernalia, but I stopped because I didn’t have a way to get proof. With the right resources I would love to imagine my limits. I was poor and under stress towards the end of when I was materializing objects, I never had the availability to set up a camera.
@@skylarmitchell8492 why not materialize a camera?

Anyone else lost?
They had a tantrum with memory loss.

I agree but we can't know for sure because of its nature
I don't believe her, that damage in the photo was caused by her.

His accent sounds very much Indian for a European.Easily graspable for Indians like me who are still in a developing stage of english skills.
Nah german
Ignorance is a curse
So does this mean there is a quantum entanglement observer bias ?
Yes!
It cannot be scientific if it's not measurable. Also, re writing the laws of physics is gonna be difficult using qualitative research....
I have studied parapsychology for years, but overall 90℅-95℅ of all cases aren't paranormal in nature.
The rest remain inconclusive, but there has not been in conclusive evidence to show that paranormal events happen in reality.
For the time being, it is best to postpone this, for more productive fields of science, because parapsychology, tends to waste a lot of time and resources, until more cases are testable, by science, versus pseudoscientific means to over hype data.
Not sure if I buy into you having studied parapsychology "for years" . Parapsychology has been studied and documented for at least 180 years. Fast forward to the conclusive evidence , Read the works of Dr. Jeffery Mishlove , Dr. Jules Eisenbud , Dr. A.W.G Owen , Dr. William Roll , Mrs. Iris M. Owen , Dr. Dean Raden , Dr. Stanley krippner , Dr. Charles Tart , Joseph McMoneagle (US Army intelligence) , Professor Stephen E. Braude , Dr. Ed May , and who can forget Carl Jung and even Terrence McKenna. They and about a dozen other past and present research scientists who's books I have read have demonstrated without question the reality of the phenomena. In fact , Psychokinesis alone is telling us huge amounts about how quantum theory works in the mundane world. The field of parapsychology is absolutely filled with evidence. If you don't enjoy reading , try out the CZcams channel "New Thinking Allowed" which contains detailed interviews with many of those I just mentioned.
KevZen2000 agreed.
I think there's a huge interest not to prove any of this stuff, and that's why anyone in parapsychology will tell you that funding is always scarce, with proper funding things could change, although certain phenomena are very difficult to observe and test under the scientific method. Assuming for a minute that ghosts exist, even in a home that reports frequent unexplained disturbances of this nature, is not likely to produce much evidence unless monitored in its entirety (every inch of the house covered) for a long enough period of time. The reality is not like in the movies, the events themselves can be infrequent, then a few can come at once, and then nothing for months or years, it makes the science in this area very difficult.
KevZen2000 That's exactly what Dr. Lucadou is saying. The large Most of it isn't paranormal.
Scott Lutz... you do not demonstrate a phenomenon in a book or by writing a book. This requires creating experiments which are reproducible that demonstrate said phenomenon, then having others independently reproduce the results etc.... can you point to anything like this as a demonstration of the phenomenon??
If only this was in his native language and he had better presentation skills...
He presents much better when he speaks in german

Is this a joke?
@@shermanbrown419 yes sir. I made a joke. HaHaHa!
Seek buddhism
For the ordinary person it is almost inconceivable how the huge material creation is resting in Him. But the Lord is giving an example which may help us to understand. Space is the biggest manifestation we can conceive. The cosmic manifestation rests in space. Space permits the movement of even the atoms and on up to the greatest planets, the sun and the moon. Although the sky (or wind or air) is great, still it is situated within space. Space is not beyond the sky.
Similarly, all the wonderful cosmic manifestations are existing by the supreme will of God, and all of them are subordinate to that supreme will. As we generally say, not a blade of grass moves without the will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus everything is moving under His will: by His will everything is being created, everything is being maintained, and everything is being annihilated. Still He is aloof from everything, as space is always aloof from the activities of the atmosphere.
I have a question. Does the Supreme personality of the godhead have a form (i.e. krishna, Shiva, vishnu, etc)? Or is it a formless personality?
@@timflelter5566 all of those are extraterrestrial beings. this may sound strange but if you watch the program called ancient aliens on history chanel you will understand what I mean. there is an episode about Buddhism
