most people consider these psionic abilitys or other weird things as weird, fake, or just a joke.
They're hiding their fear.
but that's not what we came here for. we came to discuss about how normal all this weird stuff is. so, how normal is it?

Its more normal for me then it is for my parents, my friends, ect. Its all just a different interpretation. If you see it as normal, its normal, but whats normal for you most likely won't be normal for your neighbors, another culture, ect.
but I guess it still is A Little Weird (:P) because pretty much nobody I know (except two people) do anything psionic related on purpose... Its not "the norm" for our society but it is normal for many :)

For some people for sure, but it isn't necessarily true. When you've grown up in a place that tells you PK is not possible, then it is pretty hard to accept that it is and that everybody that you love, trust and respect is wrong. Its hard to teach an old dog new tricks...

Everyone does "psionics" all the time without knowing. Is a natural skill, but is often interpretated as something "normal" (anyway is normal) like coincidence, intuition, ect....
But when someone do something greater like a spoon bend, predict correctly the future, notice ghosts, ect.... That is what a makes people say: OMG he's an abnormal psychic!

Society is a corruption fueled by people's egos, therefore, in Society people have a chokehold on their natural abilities, such as telepathy, predicting the future, etc. This is a primary reason why a stereotypical monk seperates himself from society as much as possible for a better enlightenment.
Duality is a product of ego, same with coincidence. To make it more clear, people deny psychic abilities because they fear for their egos.

Sean's "slogan" for the forum sums it up quite well I believe:
"reality defines normality"
Almost any Buddhist would tell you that normality is only a relative term based off of duality that does not truly exist. That which happens happens: Nothing more, nothing less. Human judement can make occurences "normal" or "weird". These judgements can also change overtime to change what is "normal" and "weird".
Take, for example, the middle ages: Human equality in the european kingdoms was practially unheard of. False systems of hierarchy and "noble/royal" blood determined a person's perceived worth and class. Overtime those judgements changed and shifted towards egalitarianism (although we still have a long way to go sadly, as many of you must know).
As the world stands right now, psionic and psychic phenomena is either considered a joke or considered weird or "out there" by the majority of the human population. On these forums, however, it is (or should be) considered potentially educational and more or less intriguing and "normal". It only gets "weird" when someone brings up a topic of discussion the vast majority of the members is very doubtful of and/or has not been exposed to (enough).
They're hiding their fear.
Yes, and, ironically, it is said that the human ego is based off of fear itself. This likely explains the phenomena that we know as inequality, sexism, racism, etc.

It's just as normal as anything else. It is just another part of the world we live in, just as the oceans and the earth and the galaxies are parts in this epic and beautiful thing called the universe. It is us, humans, who label things "normal" and "abnormal". To the universe, things aren't either; they just are. Whether science accepts the way the universe works or not does not matter; the universe will work the way it works whether we are right or wrong.

@Anonymous Dark
So true. The laws of the universe govern what is "normal". It is funny that even many scientists themselves don't truly seem to grasp this simple concept; we often hear them express this by saying something like, "It defies the laws of physics!"
@Akio
Thank you Akio. By the way, (in case you don't already know) I have provided those examples about psychic reception in the "powers" thread. I understand that you are usually in a rush and that the thread bumping that has been going on would make that difficult to notice. Please respond in a thread in which I have posted recently when you have the time.

I have to admit, I've been following the supernatural subject for a long time, and if anything I'm more skeptical in practice now than I ever have been. At the same time I'm searching a bit harder for that thing that I just can't begin to comprehend.

Is there really a "normal?" I mean think about it, there is really no average, at least I don't think, everyone and everything is unique, there is no normal.
I firmly believe that everyone has psionic abilities, most never know it, but as others have said before me, our society deems them to be...hmmm, what is the right word for it? How about we just say that it does not really promote these practices. Hollywood has had much fun ridiculing and wrongly portraying this, so really, is what society even knows about psionic abilities true? Why would they believe if they don't know?
So really now, if everyone has the capability, it is normal. What the difference is is that we are aware of and accept psionics, while others, though capable, never even accept them as truth. That is what makes them see psionics as "strange" or "abnormal" or even "weird."

"Normal" is the general, the average, the most common. Then there's a "normality" among things and psichic stuff is one of them. If we are talking about small "insticts" that everyone has everyday, then that's the normal, but if the case is moving stuff without touching it, then that's abnormal.
I don't mind being "abnormal" if that's true, is like I often say "If it's true, let it be true".
