Is this your card?

A few minutes ago I took an online test using virtual Zener cards. A brief test, I only opted for five deals. I got three right. What does this mean? No idea. It's probably about average, maybe a little above, but not a statistical slam dunk. I certainly don't credit myself with great powers of remote viewing.

But the story of the cards is interesting. Most of us probably learned about them from Ghostbusters, where Bill Murray uses them as a pretext to reward an attractive female test subject and punish another subject who doesn't meet that description. Dr. J. B. Rhine, who had the idea for the tests, was a curious man, and inspired by a talk from Arthur Conan Doyle. He had a hot streak and then things started going cold for him.

There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. This includes weird science stuff and more spiritual matters. We'll never know everything, but we can always learn.
