Peace and Blessings Family,

This term, paranormal, is relatively new but it seems to deal with things of old.

Things that have historically been presented to us as taboo, discouraged by most, yet now seems to be all the rage.

What is this for real ... a renaming of some old African Spirituality / Religion?

It's almost like they have repackaged "voodoo" or the likes, and are claiming it as their own.

Am i way off Family?

Whatcha think?

:heart:

Sister Destee,

I'm totallly surprized this thread hasn't drawn any takers...if you will accept my novice input, prehaps what is called animism would be the origin of the paranormal; and yes it traces back to our people, being the originals, in my view.


 
Nice to meet you Destee...

I think this man knows what he is talking about.





More information:
"What is paranormal?
We are often asked, "What exactly does paranormal mean?" The term paranormal is used to describe a wide variety of activity and phenomena. According to the Journal of Parapsychology (a quarterly publication devoted primarily to the original publication of experimental results and other research findings as published by the Parapsychological Association), the term paranormal describes "any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions." The actual word is derived from the Latin use of the prefix para meaning "outside or beyond" what is considered normal."

Clyde Coger, in response to what you said about the animals:

"Cryptozoology
Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are rumored to exist, but for which conclusive proof is still missing. Scientists have demonstrated that some creatures of mythology, legend or local folklore were rooted in real animals or phenomena. Thus, cryptozoologists hold that people should be open to the possibility that many more such animals exist. In the early days of western exploration of the world, many native tales of unknown animals were initially dismissed as superstition by western scientists, but were later proven to have a real basis in biological fact. Cryptozoological supporters have noted that many unfamiliar animals, when first reported, were considered hoaxes, delusions, or misidentifications. The Platypus, Giant Squid, Mountain Gorilla, Grizzly-polar bear hybrid, and Komodo Dragon are a few such creatures."

Correct me if I am wrong Mr. Coger but isn't animism the belief that souls exist in animals, trees, water and some other things etc. I won't get into right now?


This is not an invite to a debate sir, just a simple question that I respectfully ask.
