Again today I found myself immersed in a conversation about experts in the paranormal field. I lead it right back to respect for experience. The word "EXPERT" indicates experience and mastery of the tools of your craft.
I feel bad for serious paranormal investigators who have mastered the craft, the art and the tools of their trade, who are professionals, fore-runners in a fledgling industry blazing a trail for the rest of us. Not only are they conned out of the right to use the prestigious words that rightfully describe them as experts, masters of their craft, and leaders of their industry they are continually expected to do their work for free. No "GRANT" is available for the scientific discovery of the field of the paranormal. One day soon when the governments begin to recognize and regulate the field and certify the tools and procedures, the "people" will offer grants to the science. But until then, its people's vacation money, week end expenses and deep pockets that fund the "Science".
For the hundreds of well known "Scientific Evidence" that is available through several search engines, new and old media, the most 'famous and well known' images and audio clips are only on rare occassion accompanied by the capturer of the evidence unless it is being barraged and maligned. There is a common mantra about the "sharing" of evidence but not much talk of maintaining copyrights, credits, or residuals as monetary gain from such 'sharing'.
The whole industry is in dire need of an ethics review committee... but thats just my two cents that Ive been paying since I got into the paranormal in 2007. Lets make 2010 a better year. Anyone who has thoughts on this topic I invite you to voice them on air with me Live on Fridays at 1pm Eastern (6 PM UK) WTF-Radio or email me your thoughts at contact@IntuitiveLifenetwork.org and we will read some of your thoughts on air.
Whatever you do STAND UP AND BE COUNTED Dont do nothing. The industry is depending on you to speak and be heard.

Anyone refusing to recognize experts in any field needs to deflate some ego.
ReplyDeleteAN EXPERT: is someone widely recognized as a reliable source of technique or skill whose faculty for judging or deciding rightly, justly, or wisely is accorded authority and status by their peers or the public in a specific well-distinguished domain. An expert, more generally, is a person with extensive knowledge or ability based on research, experience, or occupation and in a particular area of study.
