  I have a scary thought for Halloween.What if everyone were convinced
 by some irrefutable,and repeatable series of  experiments that
(insert your disbelieved beliefs here)were true.Would the president be
asking for volunteers to close the psychic window of vulnerability.
 Should we  be trying to convince others of our particular beliefs?
Perhaps there is a reason why proof eludes society.

    I've seen a note somewhere that described an incident in which
    military helicopters approached some gifted children and asked
    their parents to "volunteer" the children.   I believe the military
    is quite seriously investigating the military applications of
    paranormal phenomena.

    Some of the ancient traditions have a general rule of keeping silent
    about accomplishments.
    
    The co-opting of an ability is reason enough for that tradition.

    Also, as long as the individual members of society continue to look
    for proof and enlightenment from some outside source, or for someone
    else to do the work the progression on the path for them, society
    as a whole will never elevate its conciousness to the point that
    it occasionally dreams of.
