If it’s something you choose to pursue, you really need to know at what level your willing to go. If you just want to observer from a distance or be a weekend hobbyist or even the hardcore investigator is something that is only within your power. All I ask is that you truly understand that at whatever level you wish to step up to, that you are passionate, honest and devoted to what will be expected of you. <br /><br />Safe Hunting my friendRoss Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890392428507624433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199547906777345698.post-86581696585740993052010-05-07T10:16:15.125-07:002010-05-07T10:16:15.125-07:00Ross: your post actually leaves the door open for ...Ross: your post actually leaves the door open for self-doubt on my part. I've always considered myself someone who would be a great paranormal investigator. I've been interested in the paranormal since I was a kid in Elementary school. <br /><br />But I ask the questions of myself that you suggest and I'm unsure of the answers. I have the curiosity as the drive; is it real? Initially, I say yes- there is phenomena, experiences, unexplained happenings that are perceived by more than one person. <br /><br />I believe that it is real but my drive to to decipher what it is. Can it be quantified? Are we measuring the RIGHT thing? <br /><br />But the other side of me gets that thrill, the thrill of experiencing the unknown, the unexplained. <br /><br />I'm an intelligent person with little schooling, no professional credentials. I have the willingness to believe that it's something besides my mind trying to put things in order so that my slippery memory can accept the data. I want CERN to discover the mechanics of the extra-dimensional experience so that we can say once and for all: this is what we're seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling, sensing. This is how we measure. This is how we communicate and this is what it all means. <br /><br />Seeing as that CERN is not working on the paranormal at present, and more Universities (than not) resist adding Paranormal Studies to their courses, we as lay-people are blessed with the opportunity to advance this field. <br /><br />Sorry, I'm just talking right now; I think it comes down to "it should be done" but it's difficult to say why, who, and how. I don't know if I have the meddle to be the "who" in that equation. <br /><br />So, what is the ideal?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13153391167192308744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199547906777345698.post-65500965599996993682010-05-04T13:49:55.956-07:002010-05-04T13:49:55.956-07:00AWESOME post, Ross.

I have struggled for years dealing with those types of 'less than professional' groups, several of which personally & publicly attacked *my* credibility when I called theirs into question (I don't believe in making up evidence for clients, just cause they want to prove a place is haunted or it sells tickets!). Every has an "experience"...without cold hard measurable science fact & evidence, it means nothing & cannot be given as proof of a 'haunting'. <br /><br />Like you, I've been researching this field for over 20+ years & am always disgusted by some of the groups out there, taking advantage of people for their own selfish, thrill-seeking goal, instead of focusing on advancing the field of research. It's hard enough to get science to recognize our research as valid, without having to deal with all the shenanigans and 'crap' those groups cause. <br /><br />Thanks for the great post! Keep up the good work! Hope to work with you in the near future. Been following AGHOST & its research for most of its 10 years! :)Lise Silverwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302787844815963895noreply@blogger.com
