==Mediumship==

Just to let you know, I didn't say God/good. The highest level of spirit, according to the idea, is a nondual awareness beyond the duality of good and evil. Good and evil are all lower level stuff.

This isn't about the article. I'm done with it. This is a personal conversation. But read what your guy Butler is saying. He's not talking about good and evil either. He's saying in the example of Hitler, that he was misguided, confused to his true self, spirit. He's saying that just because he died and went to the spirit world that he's not more enlightened. That's not what I was saying either. I'm saying that the spirit world, according to the belief, is a higher vantage point. It can see both the physical and the spiritual world, thus it is more inclusive than the physical world that, without the aid of mediums, can only see the physical.

See how that is more advanced? It's not about good and evil, it's vantage points. You might want to ask yourself if the concept of good and evil is more your beliefs or that of Spiritualists. I think you'll find that there's concepts of morality there, but not one of evil as evil is usually defined. Instead they'll use terms like misguided, or confused, or less enlightened. Planes of hell aren't places like in the Bible, they're states of division from spirit.

That's the concept. Read up on it and you'll see that they aren't thinking of evil and negativity like you are. They're thinking in terms of less enlightenment. Enlightenment, of course, being the nondual awareness beyond positive and negative.

You'll find a lot of references to mediums talking to ghosts that don't know they're dead. That's the ones that aren't anymore enlightened after death. They can't see a spirit world around them. Mediums often try to help them move towards the light, in other words become aware that they are dead. More advanced.

When looking for spiritual insight, they are looking for the spirits that are aware of their condition and can talk about it. The more advanced ones.

Get the idea?

== Inappropriate advocacy ==

This constitutes inappropriate advocacy. Please do not do this again. We know that believers in paranormal phenomena consider Misplaced Pages's articles to have a realist bias, this is a natural consequence of our ] policy which demands that we reflect orthodox opinion. The world in general, especially the scientific community, dismisses the majority of paranormal phenomena as either nonsense or explicable by some mundane alternative. Misplaced Pages '''is not the place to fix that''' and inviting people to go to a website which encourages people to try and use Misplaced Pages to fix something that is not Misplaced Pages's problem is not appreciated. Thank you. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 15:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

:Silliness. I put that on her page, because however non-NPOV she may be, she probably needs a bit of compassion. Otherwise, she might feel like she is the only one with problems on Misplaced Pages. I wasn't trying to fix anything, nor, as far as I know, does the website encourage people to fix something (which you would know if you had read it). And if I want to do it again, I will. It is not against the rules. Thank you. ''']''' <sub>(] Ψ ])</sub> 03:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

== Ft. Meade building torn down. ==

An episode of the progarm "The Unexplained: Remote Sensing" on the Biography Channel, aired 4/1/2007 12-1pm MDT stated and showed a photograph that the building WAS torn down at Ft. Meade. I did not catch the date of the episode, and the channel guide did not have the next repeat of this story.

==Psychic==
Isn't the summary supposed to summarize what's in the article? ''']''' <sub>(] Ψ ])</sub> 00:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

:It could be looked at that way. Another way to look at it is that it outlines the topic and not necessarily the article about the topic. Like if we were to set up sections for psychics on TV, psychics in Pop Culture, psychics in ____, the intro wouldn't have a statement about each of the different sections, just about the topic overall. On this particular article I moved it down to the section itself because that's the part that might be controversial. If someone thought it was, they could tag the section, not the intro. Psychic isn't all about the research, after all, and the first paragraph of the intro already defined the topic. If anything, the second paragraph was defining a tone for the article, one that the article might not end up taking.
