When it comes to supernatural research, it is often difficult to tell amateurs from experts. Some people will claim their opinions are their expert opinions when they are not, while others present the opinions of experts that are not appropriate for our view of the world and we want to reject them as amateurs. Trying to distinguish between those we can trust and those who cannot be very confusing. psychology He did not He had enough experts if you were wondering about the question in the title. However, I think so He has There were enough people who claim to be experts when they don’t seem to look under the surface.
With the majority of psychologists, the road to their current location is completely clear, but after that, there are those who complete courses from the appearance of magazines and the sites of the correspondence course and naming themselves as male scientists.
Telling these two groups of people of the nominal value is not always achieved easily.
Recently, the questionable news (DN) has ran a story about Steve Mira and his research on it, the report that was greatly found. (Hill, S 2016)
This DN piece raised my interest in Mira’s accreditation papers and started researching his studies. I was a little confused about what I found.
It should be clear at this stage that I believed this worth exploring because Mira presents himself as an expert in risk and expert in many organizations and projects that are part of it. For example, on the Phenomena project, his autobiography states In 1998, Steve completed two diploma sessions in psychology and the degree of risk. He is a member of the Criminal Psychology Unit in London in London. (Phenomena Project, ND).
However, as much as I can say, “UNFACULTY of London Forensic Londensic Unit (ULF)” is not present, and ULF is another name for “College of Management Sciences” (CMS) that has not been recognized as an original grant body. I reviewed this with Datacheck (Hedd) It is the official service to verify the candidates and the university’s approval.
CMS explains it.College of Management Science, BCM Unifaculty … He offers distance learning courses and a certificate in supernatural investigation, psychology, supernatural phenomenon, past decline, psychological phenomena of life in the future, electronic vocal phenomenon. (Unifaculty Foundation, ND).
Then he explains in a paragraph or two under this “that”The course fees for one course are 325 pounds, or three monthly installments of 120 pounds.‘
I hope that the total students ’debts are less than 1000 pounds!
During my research, I also discovered something called “Stellar University”. This organization, which appears to be managed by Mira as a teacher, offers four courses that people can register to cover a full range of supernatural research materials.
The site includes that “Since 1995, more than 26,000 enthusiastic students from all aspects of life have joined our correspondence courses … Some of our graduates have joined the circles of international lecturers, wrote many books and some of them went to professional levels. (Al -Nujoom University, 2016)
The site also states that the training courses offered by “Stellar University” are approved by the “MAPITES) and” Scientific Establishment of Psychology “(SEP), which appears to be impressive in reality. She even realizes that Mira runs each of these organizations. He literally claims that his sessions are approved by his organizations and do not work in this way.
The “Star University” is also not included as a “recognized body and a school” on The education site of the United Kingdom government. It is also not listened to as an authentic degree granting Peace site.
I was not sure what this means, so I called HEDD via email to see if I could create facts. One of the employees stressed that “any degree granted by this body (the stellar university) will not be considered a recognized degree in the United Kingdom.”
In addition, the word “university” is a sensitive word according to the company’s name regulations and requires permission from the government before using it in any work or name of the company.
They continued, “a company that wants to use a” university “in a title that first needs to request approval of the approval of the Minister of Foreign Affairs under the Law of Section 55 of the Corporate Law of 2006 and the company, and the partnership of limited responsibility and business names (sensitive words) for the year 2009.”
“As our records appear,” Stellar University “did not apply for any application.”
When I explored the “Star University” website, I also noticed a list of people who were contributing to the courses and among the names that surprised me. Dr. Stephen Nofila was among them. He was very skeptical, podquaster and scientific communication, looked somewhat other than. (Update: The list of contributions has now been removed. The page screen shot is available from November 3, 2016 to display here))
I contacted Dr. Novila via email to find out what was his participation with the course. ReplyI have no idea about the identity of these people and they have no relationship with them.
With all this in mind, I decided to call Steve Mera directly in an attempt to prove the facts behind its qualifications and the “Star University”. The following questions were asked:
- I could not find the stars university between the “recognized bodies and the school” on the UK government website. I also could not find you as an original grant on HEDD. I wondered whether you can explain what you mean when you mentioned that the approved courses?
- On your site, remember that the training courses are approved by the organizations that are also running it, but who is the course approved by?
- Have you obtained permission from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to use the term “university” in the name of your work by virtue of the Law of Section Companies 55 and 2006, the company, and the partnership of limited responsibility and business names (sensitive words) for the year 2009?
- I have contacted the people listed on your training course as shareholders who do not get to know you, the course, or the reason for their inclusion. Can you clarify this?
- On your site, you mentioned that 70 international organizations, institutions and 20 international institutions are recognized for the courses. Can you submit a list of it?
- Elsewhere, you say that you are a member of Criminal Psychology Unit in London in London. Can you tell me about your work with this unit and provide more information about the unit itself?
- Was your certificate obtained through the College of Administration Sciences?
I waited for six days to get a response and then sent an email to follow up on another chance to comment. In response, I received a response from Mira stating that this “Our legal team and digital platform will respond‘ After that, I received a message from an email address associated with the Zohastargate.com website asking me to send my questions in a written form through a recorded post, explaining that I will need to allow 4-6 weeks to respond via post.
However, since I was simply trying to explain the information I already discovered, I didn’t feel the need to do so. All I wrote above is what I found from the Internet exploration. If anything you wrote is incorrect, then I am happy to modify it. In fact, this is the reason why I contacted MERA in the first place (an email is usually sent with the necessary information in response, but this did not happen!) With that in mind, I am sure that I provided Stephen Mira with a sufficient opportunity to clarify any mistakes I have made and made the comment.
In conclusion, Steve Mira’s research methodologies and the conclusions he reached in his research are scientifically questionable. He believes that in a reliable position in which others can teach how to search for anomalous and disturbing phenomena, and in my opinion, it only works to destroy the field of supernatural research. It is not clear what it is already approved and it will not clarify this when the opportunity is available.
To discover that he uses the name of Dr. Stephen Novila without his knowledge of attention and it can be considered misleading for potential students visiting the site.
Steve Mira, along with Don Phillips and others participating in the “Phenomena Project”, enters people’s homes and provides all kinds of ridicule allegations about the so -called supernatural evidence while using these credentials as a charter of their authority on this topic, which I do not think is very fair.
The possibility of damage here should be clear to everyone. There is also a possibility for people who wish to study the risk of being misled in the pledge of the courses offered by the so -called “stellar university” due to the allegations described above, which led to their delivery of money for something that has no value in the end.
If you want to study psychology, Risk Association Ownership A list of accredited organizations worldwide through which you can do this here. It is strange that Stellar University, the Criminal Psychology Unit in London, and the College of Management Science is not listed.
