SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Integrative Medicine Education Network will present the award-winning film documentary "Something Unknown … is Doing We Don't Know What," at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19, in the Dee Sarno Theater at the Saratoga Arts Center, 320 Broadway. Admission is $15.
Can we predict the future? Can our thoughts and intentions affect the physical world? Can we be spontaneously healed from fatal illnesses? Do we have the power to read minds? Are we "energetically" connected?
In this documentary, Dutch filmmaker Renée Scheltema explores these questions and more with a fascinating look at the world of psychic phenomenon. In her film, the world's leading experts, authors, psychics, frontier scientists, parapsychologists, physicians and others reveal the cutting-edge scientific studies behind paranormal experiences and psychic phenomena.
"Something Unknown …" features an impressive stable of expert contributors, including Professor Charles Tart, Dr. Dean Radin, Dr. Eric Pearl, Dr. Larry Dossey, Dr. Roger Nelson, Dr Rupert Sheldrake, Stephen Schwartz, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Dr. Eric Pearl and Dr. Hal Puthoff.
According to Tart, professor emeritus at UC Davis and currently a professor at The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, "There are hundreds of experiments demonstrating the reality of psychic experiences; the ones that are acknowledged by any reasonable criteria of science I call the 'BIG 5'. " Tart explains that there are rigorous and controlled scientific experiments documenting the BIG 5, which he identifies as:
- Telepathy — mind reading or mind to mind communication.
- Clairvoyance (remote viewing) — the psychic ability to perceive remote places, objects or people.
- Precognition — the ability to predict or "see" the future.
- Psycho-kinesis (telekinesis) — Mind over matter or the ability to move/effect objects with the power of thought or intent.
- Psychic healing — a spiritual practice that may incorporate energy and is known for miraculous cures outside of traditional medicine.
The documentary explores these five areas of psychic phenomenon and investigates the power of energy healing, remote viewing, psychic archaeology, faith healing, Random Number Generators, psychic detective work, therapeutic touch and mind reading.
Woven with intriguing personal accounts, it sheds light on the mysterious world of the paranormal previously disregarded or ignored by mainstream western science revealing that science and spirituality are no longer mutually exclusive.
