Diagnosing demonic possession

[BluhdoftheLamb]

On the surface then, it appears that auras have a psychogenic source that is still poorly understood. It is unlikely that aura readers can tell us anything informative about an individual's personality.

Other than being unfamiliar with the usage of 'psychogenic,' this seems like one of the more reasonable statements on the subject I've read.

On a related note, isn't it interesting how some individuals with purported supernatural abilities will consent to scientific scrutiny of their abilities, but will ignore the results none-the-less, claiming that scientific observation interferes with their purported abilities? Psychics sometimes make this claim, emphasising that their ability is genuine, but that it is impeded by any attempt at empirical investigation. Hits are counted as supporting evidence, whereas misses are discounted on grounds of some unspecified and vague mode of interference - the "negative quantum energy field".

Quantum effect of the observer.

I know a painter like that: he does great work, but do NOT try to watch him work! Don't change his radio station either. Either one will result in him stopping work for the day, and going to the bar.

Surely this has application to QM?

For all your exorcism needs 4 out of 5 Doctors recommend saying your prayers, getting a good night's rest, and calling them in the morning. (The morality of that odd man out is questionable, and not supported by this message)
