Ah! Nina Kulagina, you wrote Anna Kulagina before. Therefore Google couldn't find anything. I'll check these links out then.

Hm ... sounds like a mixture of fraud and Cold War propaganda to me. And the tests have been in hotel rooms??

The Pentagon also used psychics for a time. Until even they concluded that they didn't work.

But seriously now: If there are people with special powers, then they should be analyzed and documented. If they're genuine then they've got nothing to fear and we all could gain knowledge about these things.

It's dubious though that those that got tested recently all failed or only showed performances that fell into the statistical realm of probability.

But if you want to believe in such things, be my guest. Everybody creates his own reality, right?

"Stories of this amazing woman began to reach the West through the international wire services in the spring of 1968. In the same year, films of Kulagina moving objects, ostensibly using only her mind, were shown at the First Moscow International Conference on Parapsychology and were also seen by some Western scientists. For a brief time Western investigators were permitted to meet Russian mediums, witness Nina Kulagina for themselves and verify the reports of her PK abilities made by Soviet scientists. In1970 William A. McGary, one of a group from the United States investigating psychic phenomena in Russia, described a session in which Kulagina caused several small objects, including a wedding ring and the top of a condiment bottle, to move across a dining-room table."

And who were these western 'scientists'? And how comes they haven't made a big fuss about it if it was true?

I recently saw a magician perform at a wedding. He was amazing and I was wondering how he would do that stuff. I bet he could have done the same things that this woman did.

National Security
It would probably fall under the ways to control people catagory
Not everybody (with power) would want certain things known... (my opinion)

Are you looking for the answer, as to what is happening, concerning your dog, or are you looking for who's fault it is?

Try looking for the answer to what is happening.

If you are mearly looking for fault, and who's fault, you' ve given yourself that answer, but let go of fault finding, and focus on your dog feleing better, and being healthy.
(Actions), Show your dog, the love, and appreciation he needs, for his highest good, and the highest good of all.

( Speak the words). Tell your dog you'd like him to be comfortable, and happy, and to feel the love you have for him, and you'd like him/her to be with you for a longer period of time, so you can share more with him, in life.

In the Bible, one example is of a blind man, born blind, and the people inquired of Jesus, about whose fault this was. Was it a sin committed by him, or his parents. Jesus replied of the mans blindness being for the purpose of his being healed of it, and others could be wittness to it.
and then he healed him.

Now as to how his blindness came to be?
It could have been that the parents held great hope in the promise of the coming messiah, and His reported ability to heal, as well, they could have held a persistant worry of something being wrong with their baby, but simutaneously comforted themselves with the belief that the messiah would show up, and heal the child, no matter what.
So they manifested the scenerio.
That may be why Jesus answered the crowd as He did. He said the man was blind so that he could receive the healing.

Thanks for answers

I have still problems about understanding exactly,about conflicting beliefs.
For example,what happens if my mother visualise that we are having a crash in car while me,my father and my moher herself are in the car,but if i believe that my family is protected in car by Divine Force,what happens when there are conflicting beliefs like these situations?The car,my mother and my father are in my reality,so we should not have a car accident cause i believe that we are protected by Divine Force.But my mother has a reality too,and our car, i am,my father and my mother herself are in her reality too,and she is visualising that we(including me) will have a car accident.What will happen?

Jack, why on earth would you want to indend a car accident for your family? It sounds like a pure worry cycle to me. Remember, you attract what you focus on -- thoughts and feelings!

Instead of trying to figure out "what if this person was intending that, and that person was intending the opposite," ad infinitum -- stop -- and step outside of that pattern and take a different approach. They way you are thinking, and trying to understand this is NOT resourseful to you. You must see it in a way that IS resourseful to you (and your family, and your dog!)

Simply write out what you want to have, do and be, in this life. Then, think of all the things you are grateful for right now. Then apply those feelings of gratitude to the goals you want to achieve and attract, and mingle them in with what it would feel like to have them, right now, present-tense. This is how you will make these your dominant focus. Do this for 30 days, and you will have set the habit...

remember: break the cycle of thinking about what you DO NOT want - and replace it with focus on what you DO want.

DO IT, and keep us up to date on your progress.

It's more complex than thinking about a car accident. You might fear drowning all your life and never drown. Same with a car accident. It's a certain level of denial that gets you into "mishaps". A car accident might mean different things for each person in the car. Your mother might be involved in believing the world is never safe; your dad wrapped up in how little money he has, and you, maybe you're always out of the moment.

The car accident would then prove to your mom the world is dangerous, your dad now has to worry about money for repairs and hospital bills, and you were taken surprise by the whole thing.

It's not really about what you think, it's about what you believe. You can visualize stuff all day, if it's out of your belief system, it's not going to happen.

@ Markus74

One day staunch believers in the church of pseudoskepticism such as yourself will come to recognize the power of the mind as cultivated by yogis from India, most of whom are least interested in becoming a circus sideshow for so-called scientists. In the 1970s, Swami Rama demonstrated in the USA complete control over his physiologic heart function (yes, in a hotel room, but while it is not the ideal testing location, there was no trickery involved).

As recently as in 2004, my own spiritual Master allowed himself to be tested in the USA under more strict conditions using QEEG and SPECT scanning while he entered deep meditation. He was also tested while he gave healing using energy:

EEG findings while healing

SPECT scan findings of the third eye

My Master's teacher used to levitate, in addition to demonstrating other miraculous yogic powers, which are common among adepts who have mastered various esoteric meditation methods. This mastery over the mind is not as simple as merely using intention manifestation, or using affirmations; I do admit that the IM model is almost laughably simplistic, and most people have a very poor understanding of the Law of Karma, an overarching law which governs the functioning of the universe, including shaping the results of one human brain weakly willing an event to happen; this poor understanding of Karma is responsible for all the fallacies and holes in this New-Age theory.

However, miraculous abilities, traditionally known as siddhis, are available to any human being willing to put in the time, effort and discipline into mastery of Yoga methods.

Then there is this article about Tibetan monks who can increase their body core temperature to such a high degree that ice cold water soaked sheets that they are wrapped with start drying rapidly. Through breathing methods, such feats are attainable. That's how the thousands of yogis and saints stay alive in the sub-zero temperatures in the Himalayas, both in India and Tibet, wearing little more than a waist cloth.

Modern science has much to catch up on, as far as the abilities of human mind over matter.

Also,do we co-create our reality or create our reality totaly?For example,can i stop a war just by imagining or believing that it will stop ?What is my reality's boundaries?If i create my reality totaly,than it is like saying that all people have different worlds which do not intersect with each other and persons' may have a copy of themselves in other people's worlds..For example,if United States-Iraq war stops in my world,that war may continue in your world,but it is not possible...
The universe takes time to rearrange itself, but we cannot gauge how long so don't make the mistake of thinking that "big" things take a long time and "small things" do not. It all depends on what's going on, so don't worry about the exact time frame. That said, When you focus on something with a lot of passion it makes it happen faster.

It also depends on how intense, focused, and constant the desire is, and how much emotional passion is attached to it. If someone thinks "maybe i'll run into this person" then thinks "Nahhh", they cancel the intention before it has time to manifest.

Intentions must remain clear, focused, and consistent untill they are manifested, essentially.

Its also a matter of being in alignment, on the same energy wavelength/vibration as your intention. If you're on the same wavelength already, then that means the passion is already there so you may not need as strong of an intention to make this happen because there is already some sort of connection with what you want.
This explains why you can think about someone very close to you and get an unexpected phone call from them almost immediately.

I've had experiences in attracting people remotely.

Over this past summer I attracted a girlfriend into my life who literally had all of the features I love in a woman, as well as many that I really really don't like. But it doesn't matter, like or hate something, that I attached emotion to these things, I attracted this exact person into my life completely serendipitously.
She immed me via an old dating profile that I stopped using a long time ago and just checked on a whim. We hit it off immediately, hard and fast, and were all over each other on our first date.

Later on, I broke up with her a few months ago for reasons that ended up being temporary circumstance (this is before I knew of the law of attraction), and I seriously regretted it.

She basically vanished (i've only called her twice in the months since then, but she's never home), and doesn't update any of her online profile and never signs onto messengers.

Within the past couple of weeks i've been focusing on attracting her back into my life (even just as friends since we got along so well). Not out of desperation at all, but simple honest desire. She popped up online 3 days ago and I anticipate she'll be on more often. I'm using my intuition to determine when we're in full alignment, at which point I will be contacting her.

Meanwhile, i'm still attracting other females/potential dates into my life that have rare features that I strongly enjoy. Each one different, but sharing common traits that match up to me very well.

I've attracted male friends into my life via similar patterns. This stuff works, and I love it.

I haven't even gotten into financial attraction either, this is just with people!

I hope this helps show some insight. All of this applies in regards to how well other people attract YOU as well. Its a matter of the strength of the attraction, alignment, and maintained focus

As for larger scale things like wars, that's a matter of groups of people being in alignment with one another and having the same energetic intentions. You see this evident in war, you see this evident at music concerts (ever notice how you can feel the energy of the room when a show is particularly rousing/intense?), you see this evident at church, you see this in ANY group setting.

I like steve pavlina's analogy in that we are all cells of one large body, and as such when cells work together things in the whole body happen faster.

Enjoy.

"The scientists are not objective."
"The scientist are fruitcakes."
"It was a coincidence."
"There is some proper medical explanation for all this, which scientists just haven't found yet."
"The scientists from ____ [insert relevant country] are spreading propaganda."

Or he will pick some little point and thereby discredit the whole study, like: "Oh in 2004, the technology for QEEG and SPECT scanning was not reliable."

As in Matthew Manning's case, they have published scientific papers etc etc. Not that this would really make any difference to you, would it.

After about 1 month from the day my dog got ill-injury,a few days ago we took him from veterinary to a dog hospital ,and the doctor there said that the problem is most probably waist rupture and not tick infection.

I visualised,imagined many times that my dog is walking,running (like before he got ill),sometimes imagined for about 30 minutes,sometimes for 1 minute,when i am with him i said many times"my dog is healthy,my dog is healthy""i love you my dog,i love you my dog",also i said myself "my dog is healthy" many times at home,i saw him running in my night dreams a few times,but it still hasn't manifested yet,he still can't be able to stand up on his back legs exactly.Maybe he will have a surgical operation if the doctor becomes sure that he has waist rupture after some scanning.But i would like to heal him without any surgical operation,but i couldn't do it up-to-date,and cause my intention haven't manifested yet,i started to doubt about IM or S-R,although i have some "facts" for me to believe it.I am trying not to think or worry about surgical operation and trying not to focus on it,i am trying to focus on that he is walking,running,and i think i am successfull about not focusing negative thoughts about him.,but his health still hasn't manifested yet...

Why may my intention about my dog's health hasn't manifested yet?

i did that to my dog once...different scenarios of course

Anakin: I wasn't strong enough to save you mum. I wasn't strong enough, but I promise I won't fail again.

Anakin: One day, I will become the greatest Jedi EVER. I will even learn how to stop people from dying.

then i watch episode III

Anakin Skywalker: Love won't save you, Padme. Only my new powers can do that.

Yoda: Twisted by the Dark Side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is... Consumed by Darth Vader.

The Emperor: Lord Vader, can you hear me?
Darth Vader: Yes, Master.
[looks around the room]
Darth Vader: Where is Padmé? Is she safe? Is she all right?
The Emperor: It seems in your anger, you killed her.
Darth Vader: I? I couldn't have. She was alive. I felt her.
[things begin to implode in the room, including droids. Vader breaks loose from his restraints, takes his first steps, and then rears back in anger and pain while the Emperor smiles]
Darth Vader: Noooooo.


erggghh... bad ending

You will have to replace it with its opposite. (Steve has a great podcast introduction to Subjective Reality - check it out.)
If we are each cells in a body, the ability to manifest things on a large scale, such as war, is the working of MANY cells, not an individual one. To say 'you are responsible for all' is a good exercise in shifting the locus of control, but is not accurate for all models or events.

Obviously if we share creation with another being, then control is not entirely ours. 'Taking responsibility' is more effective when it is targeted at those things that we CAN control, rather than a blanket 'everything'. To say that everything in the world is your responsibility dissipates your power.

Clearly there are elements of your reality that are not in your will or realm of power- either in God's will or the will of other humans. The point is to let those go, and to focus our intentions and power and energy on those things in our path and purpose that we can control.

Interesting take The Animus, but I think you misunderstand. The point is not to become "powerful" but to take responsiblity - say it out loud: Response ability. As you become more aware, more conscious, an individual becomes aware of his or her choice. One is able to choose one's response to a given event - one gains this choice from the realization that there is no "out there," only within. Within one's own being.

See, the aim is not "control" of global events. This is not a resourseful aim. As one becomes more aware, one is more accepting of "what is," those things one can not change. Ironically, this "surrender" leads one to getting what one wants far more easily.

If your aim is control, you will become attached to outcome and frustrated by the "world" as a separate thing to be feared. Surrender, and enjoy the fruits of your intentions.
