Mind Control
Problem with skeptics is that they have blinders on. They only beleive what they beleive, and nothing, I say nothing can change their mind. Ghosts do not exist. Period. That's what a skeptic will say. A Ghost appears in front of them. They say "Did you see some fog?"
However, I do like this article. I was tudying up on the New Ager's views of mind control, and almost got sucked into the Gold Ring cult. I like what he has to say:

Defining what mind control is, is a pretty good idea. I like that part. Making blatant statements of how this is not possible right now is just stupid unless you are God and know everything that is going on in the Universe RIGHT NOW. Our secret technology is 40 years in advance of what the general public has. Fourty years. We have probably already discovered time travel, mind control, teleportation and a way to heat up egg rolls in a microwave without them getting chewy.
You know he isn't even going to TOUCH level 5 psychics. I'm not saying they exist. I really don't know. I've had some experiences, but who knows if those weren't wild delusions? But YOU HAVE TO HAVE A OPEN MIND about this stuff. Really. You have to ask: What If? What If there are "Pushers" out there who can kinetically stop your thoughts and make you think and do things that might be within character for you, so you go along, in a mesmerized state of lowered inhibitions. What if there are Dreamscapers out there who can enter someone's dream and terrify them so badly as to cause a heart attack? What if there are Psychics out there who can telepathically broadcast voices to you? You'd hear the voices, but you wouldn't really feel compelled to follow them- that might be a topic of discussion about posession- if that truly exists (Which I think it does, but you should form your own opinions)
So, before you cling to your side of the fence, with eyes wide shut, I ask you, what if? I'm not asking you to change your opinion, because I KNOW you can't change mine. :)
