Yes, on A&E tonight "Paranormal State" (Paranoid State) begins again for shits and giggles and most definitely not for any true paranormal education. It seriously gives me the "ick" feeling with the buried magical coins, possessions, demons and other hocus pocus, stirring up clients up and causing them fear and anxiety. Check out an interview with "Ghost Hunter's" clients versus interviews with "Paranormal State's" clients. All I can say is, I'm so glad I don't live in Ryan Buell's head. It's one clusterfuck of chaos and paranoia.
That said, I'm starting a series in honor of the new season on Mondays. It's "Who's Paranoid Now?" and it will cover some of the goofy beliefs and dangerous practices in the world of the paranormal. I'll put this out there for you. You decide what you think:
QUANTUM JUMPING
Quantum Jumping is the process of “jumping” into parallel dimensions, and gaining skills, knowledge, wisdom and inspiration from alternate versions of yourself.
I tried to find "quantum jumping scams" and here's just one of the sites I found set up to deflect the "bad press."
My opinion? Good knowledge about life change through meditation and channeling, self talk and internal motivation can come in the form of a well-written book and not a $129 paid for program to supposedly learn to jump into other dimensions. When a "movement" has a guru and a bunch of "followers," I begin to think cult and I start to see a posse around him that protects the financial interests of the leader. Those are not good signs and the vulnerable need to be protected from such tactics.
This series is seriously going to be fun and with "Paranoid State" back on TV, I'm highly motivated.
