Paranormal has always been nature of Theosophy. Modern Theosophy 
mostly deals with phenomena of higher planes and rules of those 
planes. Science deals with laws of physical plane whereas modern 
Theosophy gives us knowledge of higher planes. Of course we can 
contact loved ones. One can simply send e-mail to his/her loved one 
and contact him/her.
