Parapsychology is the study of the paranormal with science backing it up.So my question is.What do you think is proof beyond any doubt.Of parapsychology being real?

[Sinera]

Yes. Read e.g. Dean Radin's work and the IONS institute. There are lots of more parapsychologists who do and did successful work. The Pear labs at Virginia university would be another example.

Of course they are bashed by close-minded scientists of the mainstream and 'skeptics'. But this will change in the future after we are through the paradigm change, they are losing. It might still take a few years though. People are not yet open for the change.

Parapsychology is a branch of science. Like psychology, it's considered a 'soft' science. A science isn't 'real' or 'not real', it's either credible or not, or somewhere in between.
Parapsychologists study phenomena, and come to conclusions based on the evidence discovered. If the scientists follow a rigorous procedure, its conclusions will be considered accurate, under the specified rules of the studies.
Parapsychology is not something you believe in or disbelieve, it's a branch of study whose conclusions you either trust or not. Like psychology. That's all.

If by 'science' you mean 'system' then I agree. There are ways of manipulating what we believe about reality to see if we can achieve a desired effect- a discipline. The problem with calling it 'science' is that science relies on falsifiability to disprove an hypothesis, while in magic, there is a lot of subjectivity, and things often depend on the beliefs of the practitiones more than experimentation to see what works and what doesn't, and often things that don't work for one might work for another.
That's why I trust parapsychologists and their findings vs. practitioners and their claims.

It would be true to say that existence is alone before existence is convened, therefore that magic comes before maths... and then of course, the math is up to you.
