"Introduction to Transrational Thinking"

I’ve always believed that there is a difference between being irrational and being transrational.

If you believe something to be true that goes beyond peer-reviewed science (i.e., just about everything we think we “know”! 🙂 ), that is being TRANSRATIONAL.

If, on the other hand, you believe in something that is absolutely, verifiably NOT TRUE, then you are being IRRATIONAL.

Decided to look this up (for about the first time) and found the cited article that reads, in part:

The concept of Paranoesis (Transrational Thinking), as I developed it, ought not to be

confused with intuition as generally understood (hunch, premonition, "gut" feeling, etc.). This is what could be called "emotional" intuition. The one I'm interested in is known in philosophy as"intellectual intuition" (see Spinoza, Schelling, Hegel, and others). It is a way of thinking (not feeling), on a higher level and usually leads to insights, understanding, and a more comprehensive, holistic knowledge. 

So far, so good. (Though I’m not sure I’d use the term “knowledge” to describe assertions arising from it.)

But then the author goes on to write:

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS IN TELEPATHY AND REMOTE VIEWING show that there is a faculty of our mind that allows access to non local knowledge, that is, knowledge which is not directly stored in the brain's memory, but resides outside somewhere (as in the minds of other people). I think that Hyponoesis or the fundamental underlying reality is the place where all information resides, and because we are part of reality (as Individual Minds), we should be able to hook up to reality or reunite the Individual Mind (Exonoesis) with Hyponoesis. That's what Transrational Thinking is all about. (emphasis mine)

WHAT experiments? Peer reviewed?

Why claim it’s “knowledge” that goes BEYOND the empirical / rational and then claim that it’s supported by peer reviewed (?) scientific research?

Okay, now we’ve fully entered the realm of what the Germans called “border science” or what might be called “fringe science” or “pseudoscience.”

That’s a bridge too far for me.
