This very interesting research study starts to point science in the direction I outlined below — suggesting that our frontal lobes are filters that limit our psychic ability:
“Psychic connectedness is the basis for existence. The catch is, for many of us, the processes by which we connect to the psychic realm take place in the background of our unconscious, at such a fundamental level, that most of us don’t notice our ESP humming along merrily, doing its thing. This is akin to how most of us interact with our computers and devices only via their user interface — and never see or touch the code hidden “beneath” the interface that keeps our apps and operating systems running smoothly. Furthermore, it appears our brains and bodies behave like both a filter and a receiver for our spirits, and for that “world behind the world” where our psychic activity is constantly taking place. Staying with the technology analogies, this parallels the way a radio device is both a receiver and a filter for radio waves, picking up the specific bandwidth it’s set up for.”
