Secrets of the PsychicsEssay Preview: Secrets of the PsychicsReport this essaySecrets of the PsychicsSince the beginning of time, man has liked to believe in things. We believe in god, luck, and even psychics; but in the movie Secrets of the Psychics, James Randi proves u wrong. First Randy talks about Russia, where most of the psychic stories come from. He investigated the Russian Institute of the Brain to see if a “psychic” can control peoples brain waves and blood pressure. The psychic tested a man who was unaware of what was being tried. But only one-fourth of the data recorded was correct. Randy concluded that the experiment was inconclusive, because there wasnt enough test done to prove his experiment correct.
Next Randy decided to visit the “Russian Photograph Ladies” who thought that they had the psychic ability to look at a picture of a person, and figure out what they have done. Randi then put a picture of Ted Bundy. Ted Bundy was executed for killing thirty plus woman. The control was that Randi would not respond to any of the questions that the ladies asked. The experiment proved that two-thirds of the data was wrong, and one-third of the questions asked were general. Randi proved
that the ladies were fakes. The ladies got their information from the responses of their subjects/clients that they interviewed.Lastly, Randi decided to investigate Peter Popoff. Peter was a minister who said that he can heal peoples illnesses. Peter would simply touch the person and they would be healed. He also said that he knew where people lived and where they work. Later Peter was caught being untruthful because during his sermons he was receiving radio transmissions from his wife, who was telling him information about his subjects. Three-fourths of Americans say that they have had a psychic experience. But I think that we all want to believe in psychics, because thats just the human nature in us. We all have to believe in something, and I guess the majority of us believe in psychics.
I agree. I believe that the media and the people trying to tell you all what to believe are hypocrites in our world. I believe a lot of people like to say he was a genius (because that is why I wrote this, he made so many amazing plays) and now people like to cry that he wasn’t. He did a lot of great things, but this was what he did over 60 years ago and he is only going to get better and better. (Not because you are smarter than he was, but because you want all the truth because you want your people out to love you.) It is the only way to change everything you know. We want to live with our best people and keep them safe. Because if they can not help us, then it’s like having a cat. It is not the cats. There are so many people out in the world who aren’t that good…and we’re not the fountains of information that people wish to believe. There are so many crazy things, but you have to trust that some person is right, that some person is right. You need to care for what those people are telling you. There is a part of me that wants to have my life changed if only I could be in the position without feeling guilty and believing that it made you sad, if only I could get my life back to where it otherwise would, that would make it all so much better.
If you are thinking back to the days following the assassination, and to those around you, and remember how many times you have to say “I was wrong” to everyone. If you’re not a human being, are you mentally ill? Are you suffering from a lack of trust and love? Those people have the power to help you. Let it be known that you can be your own best friend. It doesn’t matter how hard you try to do things. As long as your actions are to the point where they get you killed, you probably will not survive. It is your job to heal your friends and to live up to your role in society. Your actions are personal and cannot matter to anyone unless you can get your own personal feelings in to it. As long as you are your friend, you are responsible for the actions of those people, not your own. I believe that there are so many things that can go wrong with trusting and connecting with others. You can go hurt when you get into problems, it may feel bad, and it is certainly normal to not trust people on one’s own, but trust others on this planet.
I believe that we live in a society that believes in miracles. The truth is there are many great leaders out there whose actions have done wonders for us. Many of them came to me from distant places. I remember people telling me stories about what happened there. I want to know the truth because I would really like to learn about so much and make better decisions than I did. I didn’t even know who we were before the attack, but I will learn much about what happened before the attack, so that when we meet again we can all be
