Subject: Mind Power

Dear Sir/Madame,

 Yesterday I came upon a question that has been bothering me for a 
while now. I am truely grateful that I have someone - or site - to 
turn to when faced with such fearful questions. 
 Probably I am not in the correct area of science to be asking this 
question but I will still do so. Realizing the complexity of the 
human mind and the hidden powers it possesses, I was wondering if it 
is so that a person without any visable ability to execute any 
(para)normal activity - such as telekinesis, telepath and 
clairvoyance - is capable of doing so. In other words is this 
mystical ability possessed by everyone but not everyone knows how 
to tap in to it? I have read a few cases on paranormal abilities 
and in certain cases what is a bit evident is with children or people 
who have this ability it is gained or triggered by some trauma they 
experienced at an early stage in life - as a child. As a child I 
believe that we are more spiritual because then we know not what is or 
what is suppose to be. The only thing we know is our existance and 
what we perceive as a child. We are later conditioned to act and 
respond in certain ways typical to a nonspiritual or rational - named 
so because of their inability to discard the outside world - society 
(not all societies). Losing all touch of spirituality thus losing touch of our full 
capabilities.
 If my hypothesis is indeed correct, is it possible to tap into this 
power via hypnosis or with todays technology produce through genetic 
manipulation a person with such abilities? If not now approximately 
when (year) do you think it will be possible to do. I have also heard 
of the (infamous) CIA when it comes to such conceptions pertaining to 
mind control and the use of phychics to help win wars. If the CIA is 
always one step ahead do you think that they have already developed a 
way of producing people with phychic abilities? What would stop them 
from doing so? Is there no code of ethics? Sometimes I think not, I 
get the impression that the CIA is an institution that strives to 
remain on top of things. Always needing to know what the (potential) 
enemy is up to and always needing to top the enemy's technology. I 
mean think about it, they are probably thinking all they have to do is 
develop these andquot;puppetsandquot; and send them in the battle field. Result: 
millions of military lives saved. YEAH, RIGHT!!!!!
 I believe I am straying of the subject. Last but not least can you 
give me suggestions on sites I can visit that deals (e.g. research or 
general info) with my questions or which is the proper area of science 
I should my questions pertain to?
 Thanking you in advance, I remain, 


                                                 Yours truely,


                                                 Mr. A. Peterson
