Paranormal Phenomena Quotes

“Psychic and paranormal phenomena will always be a source of controversy, because it is an inconvenient reminder that there is more to our reality than meets the eye.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

“Magic and miracles are the exclusive privilege of those who consistently believe. There is no such thing as ‘temporarily suspending your disbelief’ in order to access such metaphysical wonders. You either believe...or you don’t.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

“Instead of describing psychic phenomena as ‘paranormal,’ I prefer the term supernatural, because it refers to metaphysical or transcendental phenomena beyond human understanding. The supernatural does not adhere to natural laws, nor to parochial notions about what should be considered 'normal.' It can therefore not be conveniently 'explained away’ by physics or empirical science.”
― Anthon St. Maarten, The Sensible Psychic: A Leading-Edge Guide To True Psychic Perception

“The ineffable nuances and numinous intricacies of the supernatural do not adhere to natural laws, nor to materialist superstitions. It will thus forever remain beyond the scope of Newtonian science and the narrow mind.”
― Anthon St. Maarten, The Sensible Psychic: A Leading-Edge Guide To True Psychic Perception

“There is an uncanny power in words that appear to issue from a superhuman source, and it would be dangerous to assume that this power cannot still move the world today. It is manifested around us in the charismatic movement, in hundreds of occult groups of one kind or another, and in many UFO-related writings such as those inspired by SPECTRA, AFFA, and others we will investigate. This material is variously received as a manifestation from God, as a sign of lunacy, or as a dangerous form of social deviance. Most often, the words of the “entity,” whether it claims to be of a space origin or to represent some dead person like “Aunt Martha” does nothing more than borrow words and expressions that exist as thoughts, possibly unconsciously, in the minds of the persons who attend the meeting. For this reason, exposure to such phenomena is hazardous to psychic health!”
