Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,910 --> 00:00:09,970
Legendary seers who can predict the
future with incredible accuracy.
2
00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:15,910
Psychic spies with the ability to see
inside enemy territory.
3
00:00:16,170 --> 00:00:21,710
And clairvoyants that gain supernatural
powers from the dead.
4
00:00:22,970 --> 00:00:29,969
Throughout history, a number of people
have been described as possessing a so
5
00:00:29,970 --> 00:00:31,410
-called sixth sense.
6
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:37,789
Whether it's called clairvoyance, ESP,
or second sight, these individuals seem
7
00:00:37,790 --> 00:00:44,629
to have the ability to predict the
future, communicate with the dead, and
8
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:48,830
times perform incredible physical feats.
9
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:55,749
But is this intuitive awareness outside
the normal human perception
10
00:00:55,750 --> 00:01:00,510
a real thing? And if so, does a sixth...
11
00:01:00,730 --> 00:01:06,130
sense exist in all of us just waiting to
be unlocked?
12
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:09,870
Well, that is what we'll try and find
out.
13
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:28,950
For thousands of years, people have been
fascinated with and fearful of
14
00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:33,270
Unique individuals who possess the power
of prophecy.
15
00:01:34,070 --> 00:01:40,829
Great seers like Nostradamus, Gregorius
Rasputin, and Edgar
16
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:46,649
Caythe have been revered for their
seemingly supernatural abilities to
17
00:01:46,650 --> 00:01:47,700
the future.
18
00:01:47,930 --> 00:01:52,910
Could this so -called sixth sense simply
be incredible intuition?
19
00:01:53,710 --> 00:01:58,110
Or is it something scientific we have
yet...
20
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,939
to understand when we study psychic
phenomena when we study mediumship when
21
00:02:04,940 --> 00:02:10,379
study things like precognition knowing
information about the future when we
22
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:15,359
study telepathy getting information mind
to mind from another person or
23
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,499
clairvoyance getting information about
objects or things that are hidden from a
24
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:24,080
distance all of those would have been
considered magic oh so long ago
25
00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:29,869
And today, we still study these same
things, but we don't call them magic
26
00:02:29,870 --> 00:02:31,710
anymore. We look at them as science.
27
00:02:32,650 --> 00:02:36,369
I don't think there's anything wrong
with being skeptical. And by being
28
00:02:36,370 --> 00:02:40,710
skeptical, I mean the true meaning of
skeptical, which is that it's like,
29
00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:41,910
I'm not sure.
30
00:02:42,130 --> 00:02:43,290
Show me the evidence.
31
00:02:44,510 --> 00:02:49,409
Now, the reality is when you look at the
research that's been done in the last
32
00:02:49,410 --> 00:02:52,650
150 years, the questions that still
remain.
33
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:58,600
is really why is it that certain
individuals seem to have exceptional
34
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,140
whereas the rest of us, myself included,
sort of minimal abilities.
35
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:10,100
New Delhi, India, October 31st, 1984.
36
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:18,379
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is
assassinated in a surprise
37
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:19,600
attack outside her home.
38
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,220
The country is thrown into confusion and
grief.
39
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:32,339
But incredibly, this tragic event was
foretold in surprising detail 15
40
00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:38,240
years earlier by a legendary psychic
known as Baba Vanga.
41
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:46,019
It was in 1969 when Vanga said that
Indira Gandhi would be killed by her
42
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:48,500
dress. Her dress is going to kill her,
she said.
43
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,580
And what happened?
44
00:03:51,070 --> 00:03:57,229
was that before a meeting, she put a
dress which didn't allow for a
45
00:03:57,230 --> 00:04:03,410
vest to be put under, and then she was
shot dead by her security guard.
46
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:10,809
So this is a really strong example of a
prediction attributed to her which
47
00:04:10,810 --> 00:04:11,860
really happened.
48
00:04:12,510 --> 00:04:17,609
While skeptics say Baba Vanga's eerily
accurate prediction was nothing more
49
00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:19,230
an extraordinary coincidence,
50
00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:25,329
It's believed that Baba Vanga also
predicted the September 11th terrorist
51
00:04:25,330 --> 00:04:28,390
attacks on the World Trade Center in New
York.
52
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:35,270
And the election of the first African
-American president of the United
53
00:04:36,030 --> 00:04:42,849
And quite famously, a disaster involving
a Russian nuclear submarine known as
54
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:44,150
the Kursk.
55
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:52,159
In 1981, Papa Vanga said that a big
tragedy will happen around
56
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,760
the turn of the century in August 1999
or 2000.
57
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:04,139
Vanga is known to have said, at the turn
of the new century, Kursk will be
58
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:07,580
underwater and the whole world will cry
over it.
59
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:09,460
So these were her words.
60
00:05:10,460 --> 00:05:14,260
And the whole world was shocked when...
61
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:21,099
At the turn of the century, indeed, in
August 2000, the whole submarine sank to
62
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:26,940
the bottom of the ocean, 350 feet, down,
with the whole crew dying.
63
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:36,780
How did Baba Vanga predict such a
specific and tragic event with such
64
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,349
Many believe the answer can be traced
back... to the 1920s, when she was 12
65
00:05:44,350 --> 00:05:45,369
years old.
66
00:05:45,370 --> 00:05:50,270
And a traumatic event unlocked her
remarkable powers.
67
00:05:51,610 --> 00:05:56,330
Baba Vanga was from the town, village of
Stumitsche.
68
00:05:57,010 --> 00:06:03,630
And at the time, in Macedonia, it was
part of the Ottoman Empire,
69
00:06:03,850 --> 00:06:05,510
just before World War I.
70
00:06:06,410 --> 00:06:08,950
It's very simple. It's very small.
71
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,920
And Baba Vanga was a normal child, an
average child in a way, with brown eyes.
72
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:23,159
But the life -changing incident that
made Baba Vanga who she was
73
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,359
was the day where she was walking on a
country road and she was caught up by a
74
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:36,199
tornado that literally carried her up in
the
75
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,250
air.
76
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,060
and threw her into an adjacent field.
77
00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:45,719
For dozens of hours, people in the
village were trying to find her. And
78
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,619
they finally found her, they found her
absolutely terrified and sobbing in the
79
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:58,399
field. The strangest thing was it was
almost as if a lot of rock and dirt had
80
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,960
been stuffed under her eyelids.
81
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,480
Over a few days, the eyes became
infected and she became blind.
82
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:10,839
As her physical senses started to
deteriorate, she realized other senses
83
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,719
starting to grow.
84
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,360
She started to be able to see what was
going to happen in the future.
85
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:23,500
She slowly began to develop psychic
abilities that replaced her sight.
86
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:30,519
And it took a while for these to
develop, but by World War II she was
87
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,900
have psychic visions.
88
00:07:32,890 --> 00:07:35,590
and see what was happening during the
war.
89
00:07:36,170 --> 00:07:42,089
After that, people who were very
concerned about their loved ones who had
90
00:07:42,090 --> 00:07:46,930
on would come to her to see if she was
able to communicate with the dead.
91
00:07:47,410 --> 00:07:54,290
And they gave her the nickname Baba
Vanga, which means like a wise
92
00:07:56,050 --> 00:08:01,499
As Baba Vanga's popularity grew, she
also attracted the attention of the
93
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:02,640
scientific community.
94
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:10,039
In the late 1960s, Bulgarian scientist
Georgi Lazanov studied
95
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,899
Baba Vanga at the Institute of
Suggestology, which is part of the
96
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:19,120
Academy of Sciences, with quite a lofty
goal.
97
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:25,080
Can science unlock the secrets behind
the sixth sense?
98
00:08:26,220 --> 00:08:31,740
They made experiments with Baba Vanga
from February to October 1967.
99
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,760
Lozanov thought that clairvoyance
happens because some people, very few
100
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:45,759
are capable of receiving signals from
the environment which cannot
101
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,939
be registered, they cannot be seen. So
he tried to use the most modern
102
00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:53,760
technology and equipment they were able
to get.
103
00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:00,479
to try and register and pinpoint those
stimuli, those signals he was supposing
104
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,640
exist. They were measuring her brain
activity while she was making
105
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,800
Unfortunately, they were not able to
register what they were searching for.
106
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:17,739
So they also interviewed people visiting
her to ask them whether what she said
107
00:09:17,740 --> 00:09:20,320
really came true. It was a long -term
project.
108
00:09:24,110 --> 00:09:29,149
answer those questions with, yes, Baba
Vanga really could say what will happen
109
00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:30,200
to my life.
110
00:09:30,830 --> 00:09:37,249
In 1996, Baba Vanga passed away at the
age of 84, leaving behind
111
00:09:37,250 --> 00:09:42,570
predictions for the coming decades that
include deadly plagues, terrible wars,
112
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:46,010
and even extraterrestrial visitations.
113
00:09:46,430 --> 00:09:51,089
And while we wait to see if her future
prophecies prove accurate, researchers
114
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:56,370
continue. To study people who possess
the sixth sense.
115
00:10:00,990 --> 00:10:04,710
10 ,050 Cielo Drive, Los Angeles,
California.
116
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:07,110
August 15th, 1969.
117
00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:15,229
Six days after the shocking murder of
actress Sharon Tate and four others in
118
00:10:15,230 --> 00:10:21,849
home, Tate's husband, film director
Roman Polanski, arrives to tour the
119
00:10:21,850 --> 00:10:28,029
the crime with a rather unusual
investigator, a psychic detective named
120
00:10:28,030 --> 00:10:29,330
Peter Herkos.
121
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:37,229
Herkos was allowed to go to the scene of
the Sharon Tate murders, and he
122
00:10:37,230 --> 00:10:41,690
picked up some interesting details that
were not known at the time.
123
00:10:42,410 --> 00:10:44,950
He said that there were three murders.
124
00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:52,989
And he said that he saw a vision of
someone in this house who had taken
125
00:10:52,990 --> 00:10:56,630
some bad LSD and visualized the devil.
126
00:10:56,970 --> 00:11:01,909
And that's interesting because Tex
Watson, who was one of the killers, when
127
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:06,809
came into the house, he said, I'm the
devil and I'm here to do the devil's
128
00:11:06,810 --> 00:11:07,860
business.
129
00:11:09,290 --> 00:11:13,130
When Herkos got there, he kept getting
the name Charlie.
130
00:11:13,690 --> 00:11:16,870
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, over and over
and over again.
131
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:23,229
And he was able to describe this man who
was this force of destruction and
132
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:29,230
wiry and dark who was manipulating
others.
133
00:11:30,990 --> 00:11:35,850
It's very interesting because that's
exactly who was behind these murders.
134
00:11:37,490 --> 00:11:41,520
Charlie, of course, turned out to be the
notorious cult leader, Charles Manson.
135
00:11:42,430 --> 00:11:46,290
who was convicted of first -degree
murder and sentenced to life in prison.
136
00:11:47,090 --> 00:11:51,229
What ability did Peter Herkes possess
that allowed him to envision the
137
00:11:51,230 --> 00:11:53,930
mastermind behind this heinous crime?
138
00:11:56,610 --> 00:12:03,569
In 1941, Peter Herkes was doing a job
painting a house, and he
139
00:12:03,570 --> 00:12:09,349
fell off his ladder, falling about 40
feet, and he had a brain injury and
140
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:10,450
flipped into a coma.
141
00:12:10,910 --> 00:12:16,350
So when he awoke out of the coma, he
discovered that he had psychic ability.
142
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:22,229
And he discovered this almost
immediately because he could sense
143
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:25,650
the other patients in the same hospital
room as him.
144
00:12:27,610 --> 00:12:31,930
Is a traumatic injury the key to
unlocking a sixth sense?
145
00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:37,969
While that may be the case for some
seers, there are others who, like author
146
00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:39,020
Laurelyn Jackson,
147
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,440
believe they were born with these
remarkable gifts.
148
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,340
So I'm a psychic and a medium.
149
00:12:45,580 --> 00:12:50,620
And being psychic means that I can read
energy.
150
00:12:50,860 --> 00:12:55,500
It was before I even had language that I
would feel and read energy around me.
151
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,560
I'll see pictures.
152
00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:03,940
I'll see images. I'll see things that
are symbols for me to understand.
153
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,099
And then being a medium means that I'm
able to connect with the consciousness
154
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:13,270
someone who's no longer in a physical
body.
155
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,970
Sometimes it can be in the voice of a
loved one who's crossed.
156
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,999
Sometimes it just arrives as a thought
without much sound, where you just
157
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,639
suddenly know something in every ounce
of your being, but there's no logical
158
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,690
you could know it.
159
00:13:25,740 --> 00:13:28,920
It took me a very long time to fully
embrace my abilities.
160
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,770
And part of that journey for me was
getting tested in every way possible.
161
00:13:32,771 --> 00:13:36,239
This will be interesting for me, too,
because my readings for people usually
162
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,059
60 to 90 minutes. And so usually the
first 15 minutes of a reading, I'm just
163
00:13:40,060 --> 00:13:43,219
aligning my energy with the sitter's
energy. I'm doing an aura reading. I'm
164
00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:46,019
seeing what they're like. It's almost
like tuning into that frequency.
165
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:48,659
And then it really starts. So I don't
know how this is going to go. We're
166
00:13:48,660 --> 00:13:49,710
to have to say.
167
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,579
In 2013, Laura participated in a
fascinating experiment under the
168
00:13:55,580 --> 00:13:57,940
psychologist Dr. Jeffrey Durant.
169
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,730
I'm going to turn it over, look at it,
and say go. Okay. All right?
170
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:02,850
Go. Yeah.
171
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:10,859
Red. The goal was to analyze Laura's
brain waves to see what's really
172
00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:14,300
inside her head when she taps into her
intuitive abilities.
173
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:22,179
What we did was we took a 19 -channel
EEG cap, kind of looks like a
174
00:14:22,180 --> 00:14:27,019
swimming cap with sensors built into it.
What it allows us to do is then compare
175
00:14:27,020 --> 00:14:29,080
her brain in different states.
176
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,160
So what we're looking at in these
images...
177
00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:37,569
are a comparison of Laura Lynn Jackson's
brain activity comparing a conversation
178
00:14:37,570 --> 00:14:38,790
to a psychic reading.
179
00:14:39,050 --> 00:14:44,989
And really what you notice is this
dramatic increase of activity in the
180
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:46,090
right quadrant.
181
00:14:46,091 --> 00:14:49,869
Here you see it starts to turn a little
more white, which is an even greater
182
00:14:49,870 --> 00:14:55,589
increase. And so this is showing this
strong increase, especially in these
183
00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:58,050
fast brain waves during a psychic
reading.
184
00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:01,050
Looking at the data.
185
00:15:01,710 --> 00:15:06,869
This clearly suggests that for her, a
psychic reading and a regular
186
00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:09,820
are distinct states of consciousness.
They're different.
187
00:15:10,130 --> 00:15:12,180
And they don't look the same in the
brain.
188
00:15:12,630 --> 00:15:17,130
So, for me, the question becomes, why?
189
00:15:18,090 --> 00:15:20,450
This, to me, is the mystery right now.
190
00:15:22,070 --> 00:15:25,290
At one point, you had three in a row.
191
00:15:25,490 --> 00:15:30,739
Okay. Dr. Tarrant's brain scan
experiment revealed a lot of very
192
00:15:30,740 --> 00:15:36,760
information. When he looked at my brain
in resting state to just get baseline,
193
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:40,120
he asked me if I had ever had traumatic
brain injury.
194
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:46,439
Dr. Tarrant shared with me that my brain
looked very similar to people who have
195
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,940
had traumatic brain injury, and yet I've
had no traumatic brain injury.
196
00:15:51,180 --> 00:15:53,340
It didn't really make sense to me.
197
00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:58,849
So I think the question really is, is
there a possible physiological component
198
00:15:58,850 --> 00:16:04,250
to being able to access this sixth sense
or these other abilities?
199
00:16:04,690 --> 00:16:06,050
And I think that there is.
200
00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:11,849
Some people have these abilities
unlocked after some sort of neurological
201
00:16:11,850 --> 00:16:14,270
incident or a traumatic brain injury.
202
00:16:14,650 --> 00:16:19,729
But then other folks, they're just born
with these abilities. I think what this
203
00:16:19,730 --> 00:16:23,809
suggests is that... Whether it's through
an injury or whether it's through some
204
00:16:23,810 --> 00:16:28,469
sort of practice of altered states or
meditation, somehow we have to shift the
205
00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:30,310
brain out of its normal functioning.
206
00:16:30,830 --> 00:16:36,469
But there's still actually a lot that we
need to understand in terms of how it
207
00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:38,590
is possible to unlock our sixth sense.
208
00:16:39,890 --> 00:16:46,249
It's exciting to think that if we can
find the key to unlock our minds, we
209
00:16:46,250 --> 00:16:49,050
all possess extrasensory power.
210
00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:53,729
In fact, recently declassified files
reveal that both the United States and
211
00:16:53,730 --> 00:17:00,409
Russia spent decades trying to identify
and train people suspected of having
212
00:17:00,410 --> 00:17:07,129
psychic abilities. Not just to discover
their true potential, but also to
213
00:17:07,130 --> 00:17:08,180
recognize them.
214
00:17:11,490 --> 00:17:13,450
The Arctic Ocean, 1958.
215
00:17:15,369 --> 00:17:19,810
The United States Navy's first nuclear
-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus,
216
00:17:19,910 --> 00:17:23,329
dives deep below the waves outside of
radio contact.
217
00:17:24,089 --> 00:17:29,309
A sailor inside the submarine holds up a
series of cards that have various
218
00:17:29,310 --> 00:17:30,750
shapes printed on them.
219
00:17:31,470 --> 00:17:36,849
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in
Maryland, a psychic tries to visualize
220
00:17:36,850 --> 00:17:42,310
cards the sailor is presenting using
only the power of the mind.
221
00:17:43,630 --> 00:17:48,689
With the sub under the Arctic ice cap,
they did several runs of completely
222
00:17:48,690 --> 00:17:52,130
shuffled cards. I believe it was 160
guesses.
223
00:17:52,790 --> 00:17:57,050
112 turned out to be correct when
everything was compared after the sub
224
00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:59,530
That's a 70 % hit rate.
225
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:04,909
The Soviets heard about this. They did a
check apparently with some sources who
226
00:18:04,910 --> 00:18:08,250
said, yes, that's what happened, and
decided to start spending.
227
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,959
It turned out to be billions of dollars
to investigate the possibility of
228
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,310
telepathy as well as other psychic
phenomena.
229
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,979
While the U .S. Navy denied these
psychic tests were taking place, the
230
00:18:20,980 --> 00:18:25,819
alone inspired the Soviet Union to
invest in programs with the goal of
231
00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:28,160
developing psychic weapons.
232
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:35,100
The Soviets started to recruit special
people to help them with their studies.
233
00:18:35,260 --> 00:18:38,320
They recruited one woman named Nina
Kolizhina.
234
00:18:38,980 --> 00:18:43,919
Nina Kolizhina was from Ukraine, and she
was a housewife who said that she could
235
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,510
control different objects without
touching them.
236
00:18:48,020 --> 00:18:54,599
She was mainly able to sensibly move
objects with psychokinesis, mind over
237
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,650
matter.
238
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,179
At one point, they had her try to use
her psychokinesis to try to stop the
239
00:19:00,180 --> 00:19:01,230
of a frog.
240
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,120
And it did. At least that was what was
reported.
241
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:09,380
Is it possible to turn someone's sixth
sense into a deadly weapon?
242
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:16,719
While it's a matter of debate, we do
know that this Soviet program would
243
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,860
a top -secret psychic arms race.
244
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,760
American intelligence realized, oh my
goodness.
245
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,580
They're getting ahead of us.
246
00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:29,460
We need to start our own psychic spying
program.
247
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,979
They wanted to see if they could have
people who were psychics get information
248
00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:39,710
about the Soviet Union where their
satellites could not get information.
249
00:19:39,940 --> 00:19:45,039
This was a form of clairvoyance, the
ability to see objects or events from a
250
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,160
distance called remote viewing.
251
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,020
According to declassified documents from
1972 to 1995,
252
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:59,519
The CIA, Army, and Defense Intelligence
Agency engaged in a joint effort to
253
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,020
recruit and train remote viewers as
psychic spies for the American
254
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:09,680
This top -secret program was called
Project Stargate.
255
00:20:10,620 --> 00:20:14,180
The Stargate program ran from 1972 to
1995.
256
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,240
During that period, there were 20 people
on staff.
257
00:20:18,540 --> 00:20:21,900
There were nine consultants and two
visiting scientists.
258
00:20:21,901 --> 00:20:26,219
I was one of the visiting scientists,
and I was there for the calendar year
259
00:20:26,220 --> 00:20:27,270
1985.
260
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:33,319
It took me about nine months to get all
of the clearances, but it ended up
261
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,260
having to be a top -secret clearance.
262
00:20:35,261 --> 00:20:40,359
If an agency came and asked, you know,
could you look into this thing, whatever
263
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:44,559
it happened to be, these remote viewers
would do their best to describe what it
264
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,499
is.
265
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:50,079
The CIA and the FBI and a bunch of other
agencies, they came back again and
266
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,130
again and again.
267
00:20:51,370 --> 00:20:56,110
There's something like 450 missions that
these remote viewers were asked to do.
268
00:20:56,430 --> 00:20:58,850
So somebody somewhere found it to be
useful.
269
00:20:59,530 --> 00:21:04,669
In an unassuming building in Fort Meade,
Maryland, Project Stargate's military
270
00:21:04,670 --> 00:21:08,330
unit performed hundreds of remote
viewing missions.
271
00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:14,090
And one of these psychic spies was a
gifted Army officer named David
272
00:21:15,230 --> 00:21:22,159
In 1986, I was recruited to become a
member of what at the time was
273
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,520
called Sunstreak. Now everyone knows it
as Project Stargate.
274
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,980
In a remote viewing session, you're
going to be over in the viewing room.
275
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:38,119
What you're doing is calling together
all of your senses to go to a target
276
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:42,379
is unbeknownst to you to determine what
the temperature might be, what the
277
00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:47,219
sounds are that you're hearing, what the
visual representations of things are
278
00:21:47,220 --> 00:21:48,720
that you're perceiving.
279
00:21:49,710 --> 00:21:53,749
Now you're developing an overall picture
of it and then putting a summary
280
00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:55,370
together and turning it in.
281
00:21:56,110 --> 00:21:59,830
Three targets a day, 90 minutes each,
working it.
282
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:07,029
Remote viewers used their psychic
abilities to search for lost spy planes,
283
00:22:07,030 --> 00:22:12,629
inside top -secret military facilities,
and even targeted wanted criminals for
284
00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:14,130
the United States government.
285
00:22:15,030 --> 00:22:18,310
Just how successful were they?
286
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,640
December 21st, 1988.
287
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:31,799
Pan Am Flight 103, bound for the United
States, mysteriously explodes in midair
288
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,679
over the town of Lockerbie, Scotland,
killing all 259 people on board and 11
289
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,730
the ground.
290
00:22:39,220 --> 00:22:41,930
And while a traditional investigation is
launched,
291
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:47,819
Morehouse and a team of psychic spies at
U .S. Army Base Fort Meade begin their
292
00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:50,760
own analysis of the shocking event.
293
00:22:52,170 --> 00:22:56,110
Pan Am Flight 103 blew up over
Lockerbie, Scotland.
294
00:22:56,590 --> 00:23:03,210
We, of course, didn't know this. We were
assembled, and we did our work.
295
00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:06,850
We identified it as an explosion.
296
00:23:07,250 --> 00:23:13,449
We were even able to identify where the
explosion came, below the passenger
297
00:23:13,450 --> 00:23:17,090
level, in front of the leading edge of
the right wing.
298
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:21,010
We were the first to identify the
explosive device.
299
00:23:21,530 --> 00:23:23,470
being hidden inside of a boom box.
300
00:23:24,350 --> 00:23:30,189
What the Renault viewing team did was
provide essential information to at
301
00:23:30,190 --> 00:23:34,090
determine, in part, what happened on
that fateful night.
302
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:40,330
Project Stargate was officially shut
down in 1995.
303
00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:45,849
But considering the project's longevity
and reported success, you have to
304
00:23:45,850 --> 00:23:51,259
wonder, is it possible that the United
States government still uses... Psychic
305
00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:52,310
spies today?
306
00:23:52,660 --> 00:23:58,299
Do I believe that the Central
Intelligence Agency is still utilizing
307
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:03,939
viewing, buried it somewhere deeper,
darker, more protected in some other
308
00:24:03,940 --> 00:24:07,779
intelligence agency, whether it's the
NSA, Directorate of Science and
309
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:10,670
Technology, or some other agency, as
they're evolving?
310
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:13,280
Yes, of course they are.
311
00:24:16,970 --> 00:24:21,030
If the United States government is in
fact still trying to weaponize psychics,
312
00:24:21,130 --> 00:24:26,509
it's no wonder why the program would be
kept secret. In any case, some experts
313
00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:32,170
believe an even better use of a person's
sixth sense is not to launch attacks,
314
00:24:32,610 --> 00:24:38,110
but to prevent them by looking into the
future.
315
00:24:42,050 --> 00:24:45,570
Shorewood, Wisconsin, October 26, 1935.
316
00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:52,579
Nestled along the blue waters of Lake
Michigan, all is calm in this quaint
317
00:24:52,580 --> 00:24:59,099
Milwaukee suburb until 7 .32 p .m., when
a peaceful autumn evening
318
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:04,140
is interrupted by a massive explosion of
dynamite.
319
00:25:07,060 --> 00:25:11,900
There was an explosion at the Shorewood
Village Hall.
320
00:25:12,490 --> 00:25:17,610
It exploded and shattered all the
windows and left a huge hole in the
321
00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:24,729
Then, less than 24 hours later, two
branches of the First National Bank
322
00:25:24,730 --> 00:25:27,450
had explosions about a half hour apart.
323
00:25:28,130 --> 00:25:33,629
So by now, the city is in panic because
it appears there's a mad bomber on the
324
00:25:33,630 --> 00:25:34,680
loose.
325
00:25:35,070 --> 00:25:41,989
Four days after the explosions at the
banks, Two different police stations are
326
00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:44,630
bombed within about 10 minutes of each
other.
327
00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:48,770
These dynamite bombs caused serious
damage.
328
00:25:48,970 --> 00:25:55,069
Nobody could quite understand why this
was happening. Were these anarchists?
329
00:25:55,070 --> 00:25:59,150
Were these communists? Were these people
just trying to sow terror?
330
00:25:59,870 --> 00:26:01,230
No one knew the cause.
331
00:26:01,910 --> 00:26:08,799
From October 26th to November 3rd, 1935,
this series of bombings would
332
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,970
become known as the Seven Nights of
Terror.
333
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,639
And while these shocking attacks caught
the townspeople off guard, they were no
334
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,959
surprise to a local psychic named Arthur
Price Roberts, who predicted the event
335
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,000
and its location just one day before the
first explosion.
336
00:26:27,940 --> 00:26:33,499
Arthur Price Roberts, throughout his
life, was known by many names. Some
337
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:36,920
him Doc Roberts, Professor Roberts.
338
00:26:37,610 --> 00:26:40,890
But his very favorite thing to be called
was psychic detective.
339
00:26:41,650 --> 00:26:48,629
The story that gets the most attention
is the story of the mysterious bombings.
340
00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:53,029
In fact, the reason that we even know of
his prediction is because he gave it at
341
00:26:53,030 --> 00:26:54,250
a live psychic show.
342
00:26:54,850 --> 00:27:01,389
He talks about police buildings,
government buildings, banks being
343
00:27:01,390 --> 00:27:02,910
people who are at that show.
344
00:27:03,420 --> 00:27:07,379
start contacting Shorewood police saying
there's going to be a series of
345
00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:08,520
bombings in Milwaukee.
346
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,860
And the police instantly dismissed that.
347
00:27:11,180 --> 00:27:17,700
And then, just a day later, the
Shorewood Village Hall is dynamited.
348
00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:23,359
So now the police turn to Roberts, and
Roberts informed police that there's
349
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:24,860
going to be one more explosion.
350
00:27:25,260 --> 00:27:29,580
And he said that it would happen south
of the Menominee River.
351
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,640
And that's exactly what happened.
352
00:27:33,310 --> 00:27:38,889
The two bombers who had been responsible
for this had been making the bombs in a
353
00:27:38,890 --> 00:27:45,189
little shed pretty close to the river,
and they accidentally blew themselves up
354
00:27:45,190 --> 00:27:48,630
along with their entire supply of
dynamite.
355
00:27:48,970 --> 00:27:54,629
And this explosion was so big that they
could hear it for about eight miles
356
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:57,190
away. And that was it.
357
00:27:57,870 --> 00:28:00,610
The seven nights of terror were over.
358
00:28:02,410 --> 00:28:07,069
To this day, the motive behind the
dynamite bombings carried out by 20
359
00:28:07,070 --> 00:28:12,570
-old Hugh Rutkowski and 16 -year -old
Paul Giovanni remains unknown.
360
00:28:13,570 --> 00:28:18,409
But how was Doc Roberts able to predict
these bombings with such uncanny
361
00:28:18,410 --> 00:28:19,460
accuracy?
362
00:28:20,050 --> 00:28:25,869
Many believe it was because he possessed
a rare psychic ability known as
363
00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:29,670
precognition. And precognition?
364
00:28:29,671 --> 00:28:33,129
What we're talking about is someone
getting information that they could not
365
00:28:33,130 --> 00:28:37,490
project from the current circumstances,
things that they could never know.
366
00:28:37,910 --> 00:28:42,849
Now, this is very different from someone
who is able to look at the current
367
00:28:42,850 --> 00:28:46,550
world and make predictions on what's
going to happen next.
368
00:28:47,310 --> 00:28:51,810
We're talking about someone who is able
to know an unpredictable event,
369
00:28:51,930 --> 00:28:54,170
something that no way they could know.
370
00:28:56,570 --> 00:29:02,679
With Robert, He was accurately able to
do this. As a psychic, he was able to
371
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,760
perform precognitive feats quite
regularly.
372
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:10,580
Roberts actually predicted his own death
in 1940.
373
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:16,880
He said to friends, I will be dying on
January 2, 1940, and he did.
374
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,999
What I love about precognition and
studying precognition in the human mind
375
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,140
that it allows us hope.
376
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:30,939
that if we can know about something in
the future, we can prepare, which is
377
00:29:30,940 --> 00:29:33,640
incredibly important for our well
-being.
378
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,780
Like, for instance, a particular crime
happens.
379
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:43,780
And so if you can predict the what and
the when, how can you manage that?
380
00:29:44,220 --> 00:29:48,999
I think it opens up a lot of questions
about, does the crime actually have to
381
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,050
almost happen?
382
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,280
But then you stop it just before it
does.
383
00:29:52,990 --> 00:29:58,329
If they're wrong and someone is thought
to be a criminal and they're not, what
384
00:29:58,330 --> 00:29:59,349
happens then?
385
00:29:59,350 --> 00:30:01,820
There's all sorts of ethical problems
with this.
386
00:30:02,410 --> 00:30:07,429
The widespread prediction on the
eradication of crime does have some
387
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:12,749
issues. And how would you even find such
a large workforce as psychics to
388
00:30:12,750 --> 00:30:14,250
accomplish such a lofty goal?
389
00:30:15,790 --> 00:30:19,010
Well, some believe the answer may be
found in Argentina.
390
00:30:20,050 --> 00:30:21,410
Because in 2024...
391
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,559
Argentina's security forces announced
plans to predict and prevent future
392
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,740
crimes, not with psychics, but with
artificial intelligence.
393
00:30:31,741 --> 00:30:36,459
Some people believe that you can use
artificial intelligence to predict what
394
00:30:36,460 --> 00:30:40,819
crimes are going to occur. And if you
are looking at patterns of what happened
395
00:30:40,820 --> 00:30:45,379
in the past, with artificial
intelligence, you may be able to project
396
00:30:45,380 --> 00:30:46,760
going to occur in the future.
397
00:30:46,860 --> 00:30:48,500
The very premise...
398
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:55,699
is not just that it gathers and weighs
information, but it devises new ways,
399
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:58,260
methods of gleaning information.
400
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:05,639
If AI lives up to its potential as a
public tool, it would be foolish of us
401
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,700
to conclude that it couldn't be used as
an instrument of foresight.
402
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:14,160
There's no telling where that wheel
stops turning.
403
00:31:42,199 --> 00:31:44,960
This peaceful, quaint community.
404
00:31:45,450 --> 00:31:48,710
is often referred to as the psychic
capital of the world.
405
00:31:49,690 --> 00:31:55,450
In 1894, George Colby, a medium who
could commune with the spirits of the
406
00:31:55,690 --> 00:32:00,110
established the Casadegas Spiritualist
Camp here.
407
00:32:01,150 --> 00:32:07,789
And today, his legacy lives on with
residents of the camp like spiritual
408
00:32:07,790 --> 00:32:10,510
and teacher, Reverend Louis Gates.
409
00:32:11,330 --> 00:32:13,610
The Casadegas Spiritualist Camp is
410
00:32:14,330 --> 00:32:18,930
The biggest spiritualist camp in the
southeastern part of the United States.
411
00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:20,810
It's a place for mediums together.
412
00:32:21,970 --> 00:32:26,270
People live here to do their work and to
teach and instruct.
413
00:32:26,510 --> 00:32:31,669
But also the camp is here to allow
people to come and to get readings and
414
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:35,149
connect with their loved ones and people
who have passed over in the spirit
415
00:32:35,150 --> 00:32:36,200
world.
416
00:32:36,350 --> 00:32:39,869
Camps were actually formed back in the
day when there was no place for
417
00:32:39,870 --> 00:32:41,010
spiritualists to meet.
418
00:32:42,030 --> 00:32:47,390
And spiritualism really majorly took off
because when we have wars, Civil War,
419
00:32:47,710 --> 00:32:52,150
World War I, II, all the wars we've had,
when people have lost loved ones,
420
00:32:52,230 --> 00:32:54,340
people want to hear from their loved
ones.
421
00:32:54,830 --> 00:32:58,410
But it has always been a form of
communication.
422
00:32:59,550 --> 00:33:03,850
Shamans, part of the tribe, had that
communication with spirit.
423
00:33:04,170 --> 00:33:07,250
It's always had some kind of connection
with death.
424
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:14,619
While holy men have communicated with
the dead since antiquity, spiritualism
425
00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:19,080
a religious movement and belief system
that began in the mid -1800s.
426
00:33:19,660 --> 00:33:25,160
Through seances and human conduits to
the spirit realm, known as mediums,
427
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:30,279
spiritualists believe we can communicate
with the dead and receive messages and
428
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,480
guidance from beyond the veil.
429
00:33:33,719 --> 00:33:39,260
Spiritualism started in New York State
in a town called Hydesville in 1848.
430
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,540
And it started off really in the house
of the Fox family.
431
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:48,100
There were three sisters in the house,
Kate, Margaret and Leah.
432
00:33:49,420 --> 00:33:54,540
And they started to hear noises, strange
bangs in their house.
433
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,040
And they soon realized that they could
communicate with these noises.
434
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,600
They would do one knock for yes.
435
00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:04,460
Two knocks for no.
436
00:34:05,220 --> 00:34:09,658
And they were able to determine that it
was the spirit of a peddler who'd been
437
00:34:09,659 --> 00:34:11,219
murdered a few years earlier.
438
00:34:11,540 --> 00:34:15,560
And later on, they found human remains
down in the cellar.
439
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,780
It became a big news story.
440
00:34:20,739 --> 00:34:25,339
The Fox sisters announced that they had
worked out a code to communicate with
441
00:34:25,340 --> 00:34:27,900
intelligences from the other world.
442
00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:33,320
People descended on the cabin to
investigate the girls, clergy, lawyers,
443
00:34:33,540 --> 00:34:39,860
newspaper reporters, scientists, and
many came away proclaiming them
444
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,179
Americans were ready to believe, and
they embraced the claims.
445
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,300
So the movement of spiritualism began.
446
00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:54,459
It's been estimated that by the late
1800s, the American spiritualism
447
00:34:54,460 --> 00:34:56,480
had upwards of 6 million followers.
448
00:34:58,060 --> 00:35:02,559
But could there be another reason
spiritualism became so popular, besides
449
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,790
longing to speak with the dearly
departed?
450
00:35:06,020 --> 00:35:12,640
Well, some believe that it could be a
path to unlock mysterious powers.
451
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:19,219
There are different kinds of mediums.
Probably the most common forms that
452
00:35:19,220 --> 00:35:23,240
familiar with are called clairvoyant
mediums.
453
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,540
They go into a trance.
454
00:35:26,380 --> 00:35:30,230
and then different spirits will start to
communicate through their bodies.
455
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:35,439
And then physical mediumship is where
the medium is causing objects to
456
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,490
or move.
457
00:35:36,740 --> 00:35:39,820
Their physical body might change in
different ways.
458
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,860
You might see their faces transform.
459
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,120
They might become larger or smaller and
things like that.
460
00:35:45,980 --> 00:35:51,000
Can some mediums really gain
otherworldly physical powers from the
461
00:35:52,140 --> 00:35:56,900
Perhaps the answer lies with one
legendary seance from the 1800s.
462
00:36:01,060 --> 00:36:05,360
Ashley House, London, England, December
1868.
463
00:36:06,300 --> 00:36:12,859
Members of London's intellectual elite
gather to participate in a seance led by
464
00:36:12,860 --> 00:36:17,060
famed Scottish medium Daniel Douglas
Hume.
465
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:19,700
It is during this...
466
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,520
that he earns the nickname, the flying
psychic.
467
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:31,019
And he earns it by somehow levitating
above the table, hovering above
468
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:37,559
it, and then somehow physically flying
out of the window of the seance room and
469
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,480
in through another window. No one knows
how he did it.
470
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:49,099
There were no wires. There was no one in
the room that was working with
471
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:55,489
him. It was just the people at the
seance and Hume conducting
472
00:36:55,490 --> 00:37:00,569
this amazing feat that we are still
talking about and still puzzling about
473
00:37:00,570 --> 00:37:01,620
today.
474
00:37:02,450 --> 00:37:07,730
After the fact, people have raised
doubts about what took place on that
475
00:37:08,130 --> 00:37:13,189
But the fact that there were so many
witnesses in the room, that they were
476
00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:18,949
supposedly respectable members of
society, observing these events from
477
00:37:18,950 --> 00:37:24,970
angles, and they were adamant that what
they'd seen was a real phenomenon.
478
00:37:26,330 --> 00:37:29,730
He had a gift that not everybody else
has.
479
00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:35,969
But there are mediums that have gifts,
that have a connection to gifts from the
480
00:37:35,970 --> 00:37:36,949
spirit world.
481
00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:43,310
I do believe that people can unlock a
sixth sense by meditating, by breathing,
482
00:37:43,490 --> 00:37:47,370
by working at it, to open their mind
to...
483
00:37:47,820 --> 00:37:51,520
Other realms, other places become in
contact with spirit.
484
00:37:51,740 --> 00:37:56,679
If you keep working at the same thing,
day after day after day, the energy will
485
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:57,730
get stronger.
486
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,020
McLean, Virginia.
487
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:11,179
From 2011 to 2015, a government agency
known as the Intelligence
488
00:38:11,180 --> 00:38:16,700
Advanced Research Projects Activity
conducts a series of competitions.
489
00:38:17,470 --> 00:38:19,700
designed to answer a fascinating
question.
490
00:38:20,390 --> 00:38:25,690
How effective are regular, everyday
people at predicting the future?
491
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:31,010
These contests are known as forecasting
tournaments.
492
00:38:32,690 --> 00:38:37,549
Forecasting tournaments are competitions
where people try to predict a future
493
00:38:37,550 --> 00:38:43,529
event, something that's of global
importance, like will this country
494
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:46,480
its troops from this other country by
such and such a date?
495
00:38:47,340 --> 00:38:50,660
Will the yen go up by two points on
Thursday?
496
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,440
Really detailed questions that are very
hard to predict.
497
00:38:54,441 --> 00:38:56,459
And these are just ordinary people.
498
00:38:56,460 --> 00:39:00,160
They could be someone who works at home
raising their kids.
499
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,939
These aren't special PhDs or anything.
But when they're grouped together, they
500
00:39:04,940 --> 00:39:09,259
become this kind of super forecasting
unit that together can predict future
501
00:39:09,260 --> 00:39:15,220
events much better than even
intelligence officials with classified
502
00:39:16,810 --> 00:39:21,069
It was reported that when grouped
together, future predictions made by
503
00:39:21,070 --> 00:39:27,789
people outperform intelligence analysts
who had access to classified data by
504
00:39:27,790 --> 00:39:32,330
about 30%. And the question becomes,
why?
505
00:39:33,190 --> 00:39:39,149
When we look at the work of super
forecasters, there's the debate about
506
00:39:39,150 --> 00:39:42,400
what they're doing is just kind of
listening to their intuition.
507
00:39:42,401 --> 00:39:46,579
versus maybe some sort of precognition,
the ability to know things in the
508
00:39:46,580 --> 00:39:52,940
future. Our mind -body is picking up on
something before it materializes.
509
00:39:54,340 --> 00:39:59,080
This is probably an evolutionary
adaptation that we've developed.
510
00:39:59,860 --> 00:40:03,280
We all have intuitive abilities, but
many times we don't listen.
511
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,180
We're not aware of it on a conscious
level, but we have a feeling.
512
00:40:09,230 --> 00:40:13,020
In terms of the super forecasters, maybe
they're really good at listening.
513
00:40:13,430 --> 00:40:18,949
Can the sixth sense really come down to
highly attuned intuition, something that
514
00:40:18,950 --> 00:40:20,000
everyone has?
515
00:40:20,050 --> 00:40:24,370
And if so, is it possible not to
entertain one very exciting possibility?
516
00:40:25,530 --> 00:40:31,530
Through practice, can anyone develop
these mysterious powers of the mind?
517
00:40:33,250 --> 00:40:37,350
People are very curious about unlocking
a sixth sense. People ask me.
518
00:40:37,351 --> 00:40:41,339
You know, you're a neuroscientist. What
do I do to my brain to make it so that I
519
00:40:41,340 --> 00:40:42,720
can have these capacities?
520
00:40:42,721 --> 00:40:45,599
You actually think it's part of how the
brain works?
521
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,820
So it's not really unlocking something
that's locked away.
522
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,550
It's more like using what's already
there, but taking it seriously.
523
00:40:53,420 --> 00:40:59,699
You're already getting in the
information, not judging it, not
524
00:40:59,700 --> 00:41:03,480
assuming it's wrong, but testing it out.
525
00:41:04,140 --> 00:41:08,319
So, for example, if I meditate, am I
more aware of my thoughts that seem to
526
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,179
out of the blue?
527
00:41:09,180 --> 00:41:11,590
That might help me with a problem I'm
working on.
528
00:41:12,340 --> 00:41:14,940
It's more like attending to what's
already there.
529
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:22,679
It's intriguing to consider that the
ability to predict the future may be a
530
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,460
skill that can be taught to all of us.
531
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:30,279
Whether it's seeing events before they
happen, communicating with the spirit
532
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,820
world, or...
533
00:41:31,821 --> 00:41:33,799
reading someone else's thoughts.
534
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:38,940
The human mind seems to be capable of
feats that defy our understanding.
535
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,520
Are these abilities a freak combination
of luck and intuition?
536
00:41:44,180 --> 00:41:51,099
Or could they be evidence of an elusive
sixth sense locked away within the human
537
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:52,150
mind?
538
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:58,980
It's an intriguing mystery that, for the
moment, remains unexplained.
539
