PARANORMAL SITUATIONS

Para in Greek language means 'beyond'. Normal is an English word meaning 'ordinary'. Hence paranormal means 'beyond ordinary. The very meaning of paranormal indicates some mystery not susceptible to present day science. There are many branches to paranormal situations. This deals with study of psychic phenomena. This deals with out of body experiences (O B E), near death experences(NDE),reincarnation, predictions, intuition , hypnosis and strange dreams, etc.
OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES (O B E):
Under OBE, the soul seperates itself from materialistic body and moves independently. Most people who experience OBE can be seen by others at places where the soul moves independent of the body after seperation from body. The soul can join the body later.
NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE (N D E):
N D E is similar to O B E, wherein soul seperates from body, but occurs at the point of death. There are several reports from people that they have seen their body from above before moving on through a tunnel at the end of which they see light. But later the soul returns to body. Due to enormous stress and strain resulting from injury or illness, a person may be unconscious. The unconscious person at times feels leaving his body, and witnesses the seen from a different height. He can even see the treatment given to his body. When the body recovers the soul can reenter the body. Such souls can even verify what they have seen after reentering the body.
REINCARNATION:
After the soul is seperated from a body after the death, the soul can be reborn into any other physical body, as the soul has no death. In recent years there are several examples of people remembering their past lives. In 1930 a four year girl by name Shanti Devi from Delhi declared that she lived in a village Muttra in her past birth with the name Ludgi. When she was taken to the village she even recognised her relatives and her story was found to be true. There are many such examples.
PREDICTIONS:
There are people who predict the future of an individual, future of a country and the future of the world as a whole. For predicting the future of a man Astrology is the main subject that deals with the human reactions to planetary vibrations. Some even predict by developing mental powers. They can look into the future of a person or a country by clairvoyant powers. Nostradamus predictions are very famous worldwide. But unfortunately he has not given any specific dates for his predictions for the reasons known to him only. These predictions were recognised after they were fulfilled. There are many such prophets all over the world.
INTUITION:
Intuition is knowing information without any definite source. This information might be received telepathically or subconsciously. The people with intuition are at a loss to explain as to how they acquired the knowledge. This intuition fails under test conditions.
HYPNOSIS:
Hypnosis is a trancelike condition. It is like sleep, but not exactly so. Under hypnosis, person is more open to suggestion than in awaken state. Austrian doctor Franz Mesmer was the first to investigate hypnotism in 1770 and he called it as "animal magnetism". Hypnotism was used for medical purposes especially to reduce pain. Hypnotism was also used for investigation of past lives. Meditation may lead to self hypnosis that can cure unknown diseases within us. Any deep and concentrated thought (feeling) may also hypnotise the person towards whom it is directed.
DREAMS:
Man is trying to find some meaning for dreams since some thousands of years. Some dreams are pleasant, while others are terrifying. Some dreams contain people and places known to the dreamer, while others are of opposite nature. Dreams are symbolic. Lucid dreaming is most studied. In lucid dreaming, the individual is aware that he is dreaming during the dream and the dream is well remembered after awakening. Some dreams are informative such as the accident ahead. I personally had such dream that saved my life beyond any doubt.
