Background
Dr Shafica Karagulla, born in the Lebanon but whose research took her to the USA and the UK, was a neuro-psychiatrist who spent eight years researching ordinary people who appeared to have extraordinary abilities.
She started off being a skeptic as most scientists are [including me] but over time the evidence seemed overwhelming and she set up a research project to find out more. What brought her into the area was a book about Edgar Cayce, what kept her going was an open mind and an insatiable curiosity. Where she is remarkable is that she had no experiences of her own to confirm her eventual conclusions, but like all the very best scientists forgot her own life and concentrated on the observations and evidence.
Her research subjects were carefully chosen. She rejected all those who claimed they had these abilities but instead by a laborious process of enquiry and referral managed to find those who carried on normal professions and who never talked about their abilities but just used them.
A description of the experience
Breakthrough to Creativity – Dr Shafica Karagulla
A man who occupied a high position in the Lebanese government told me some interesting stories about his wife's abilities.
At the time of the assassination of the Prime Minister she was sitting at home when she suddenly felt that there was some great and urgent danger around her husband.
She immediately tried to telephone and make contact with him but could not reach him. A few minutes later she turned on the radio and heard that the Prime Minister had just been shot. When her husband arrived home she learned that he had been walking beside the Prime Minister at the moment the assassin's bullet hit, and supported him as he fell.
The husband went on to say that his wife had often had precognitive and telepathic impressions through the years and he had learned not to ignore them.
