I definitely believe in reincarnation. I have had vivid memories of things that I know I have never done in my 39 years of life. For example, I have had vivid memories of a castle and watching out one of it’s windows as the sun sets. I wasn’t dreaming, nor was I daydreaming. I was standing on my sidewalk looking towards my car and immediately though “oh yeah I remember the time I was looking out the castle window at the sunset”. I was like what the heck? I do? It’s just not those thoughts, but extreme dejavu instances.
I am not so much a believer in psychokinesis. Maybe its because I have not had any experience with it. Not saying it doesn’t exist, just skeptical.
I do think that telepathy exists. I have often had conversations in my mind with someone unknown and know for a fact I wasn’t answering myself.
Precognition I do believe could definitely exist. I would like to think “gut feelings” and things like that are all part of it.
Near death experiences.. I’m not sure about this one. I’ve had out of body experiences, but I always contributed it to something else. Always found a logical explanation. If there is more to it than that, then I’m not so sure. I’m not sure if people really see God or what not when they are in these states. Jury is out on this one.
Paranormal Belief Scale
OK, So with the Paranormal Belief Scale I took, I got an 81 %. The explanation given was “According to your score, you believe that some people are gifted with the power to see into the future and can predict things to come. Although you may not consider all psychics to be legitimate practitioners, you do believe that there are some who do indeed possess a sort of "sixth sense" or the ability to feel and see things that most people can't.” Yeah.. I would say that definitely sums it up!!
