Interesting.  You might be interested to know that my blog has drawn the attention of some psychologists.  One thing I hear repeatedly from them is that researchers are on a whole different planet.  In the day to day job of helping people with their issues and dealing with their emotions, it is often impossible for these health professionals to ignore their own obvious psychic intuitions which come as a result of interactions with their patients. Further, it is not at all advisable to ignore these intuitions because they are almost always extremely helpful.  So those who practice are generally very open to psi, in contrast to researchers who aren't.
