CREATIVITY, INTUITION, AND INNOVATION
Get PDFThey come in the night, or unexpectedly in a walk across the park, with friends playing games, or in the quiet of meditation. These are the provenances of creative breakthroughs that have changed the course ofhuman history; the intuitive insights ofsingle men orwomen. Nikola T esla's invention ofthe electric motor, at the end ofthe 19th century, came in a vision as he walked across acitypark.l Mozart and Copeland had music come to them in an instant.2 Einstein "saw" Relativity as he idled away time in a canoe, after an illness. He later wrote: "1 believe in intuition and inspiration. .. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge islimited,wherea.4iiimagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."
Consciousness Interactions with Remote Biological Systems: Anomalous Intentionality Effects
Get PDFThis paper describes a 13 year long, and still continuing, series of laboratory experiments that demonstrate that persons are able to exert direct mental influences upon a variety of biological systems that are situated at a distance from the influencer and shielded from all conventional informational and energetic influences. The spontaneously fluctuating activity of the target system is monitored objectively during randomly interspersed influence and noninfluence (control) periods while, in a distant room, a person attempts to influence the system's activity in a prespecified manner using mental processes of intentionality, focused attention, and imagery of desired outcomes. The experimental design rules out subtle cues, recording errors, expectancy and suggestion ("placebo") effects, artifactual reactions to external stimuli, confounding internal rhythms, and coincidental or chance correspondences. Distantly influenced systems include: another person's electrodermal activity, blood pressure, and muscular activity; the spatial orientation of fish; the locomotor activity of small mammals; and the rate of hemolysis of human red blood cells. The experiments are viewed as laboratory analogs of mental healing
A Lethal Subtle Energy
Get PDFThroughout history epidemiology has often provided effective ways of limiting the spread of infectious diseases before their causes became known. Epidemiological studies from many countries now indicate a link between the 50 and 60-Hz electromagnetic fields (EMFs) which accompany electric power delivery and cancers of the blood, brain and breast. Subtle EMFs of only 0.3 to 2 milligaus (mG) are implicated. Significant EMFs occur in 60-Hz systems due to multiple grounding. Electric codes have stipulations against "objectionable" ground currents. Means of measuring, correcting and avoiding subtle but lethal EMFs are presented.KEYWORDS: Cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, central nervous system, astrocyroma, melatonin, electromagnetic fields, EMFs, milligauss, ground currents, electricity, electrophysiology, bioelectromagnetics, power lines, epidemiolog
LESSONS FROM SPIRITUAL HEALING RESEARCH & PRACTICE
Get PDFHealers and satisfied healees report that healing treatments are effective for numerous illnesses. Modern medicine has been skeptical of such reports, suspecting they are no more than placebo responses. This paper reviews a substantial body of research studies showing that healing may bring about changes in water, enzymes, unicellular organisms, plants, animals and humans. Possible partial mechanisms are proposed for the action of healing in a variety of situations, along with suggestions for further promising research
NEW ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL CORRELATES ASSOCIATED WITH INTENTIONAL HEART FOCUS
Get PDFThis work utilizes the measurement of heart rate variability (HRV) as a vehicle to show that continued practice of certain specific techniques involving an intentional shift of focus to the area of the heart, and invoking specific feeling states such as "love" and "appreciation," automatically manifests in increased autonomic nervous system balance. In particular, (1) enhanced balance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system, (2) a shift of the high frequency and low frequency portions of the HRV power spectra to around 0.1 Hz range, (3) entrainment and frequency locking of multiple body oscillators (HRV, pulse transit time and respiration), (4) a shift in frequency of all the body's entrained systems, around O.IHz frequency, associated with a change in focus of the subject to a different heart feeling state, and (5) the intentional generation of a newly defined internal coherence state (near zero HRV), have all been achieved. These are electrophysiological correlates of certain mental and emotional states occupied by the individual. Three individual subjects plus a group study of twenty subjects are reported on and discussed. From these results, one sees that individuals can intentionally affect their autonomic nervous system balance, and thus, their HRV
A MODEL EXPLAINING BRAZILIAN SPIRITIST SURGERIES AND OTHER UNUSUAL, RELIGIOUS-BASED HEALINGS
Get PDFThis paper seeks to explain unusual surgeries performed withour antisepsis or anesthesia in which patients bleed but minimally when cut. experience little if any pain, do nor develop infections or other post-surgical complications and furthermore, recover. Operations performed by three Brazilian Spiritists healer-mediums are described. The explanation of the Kardecist-Spiritists, whose belief system informs the surgeries and other healings, is presented and examined. The author then seeks an objective, scientific explanation for the phenomena in recent developments in new fields within biomedicine and in psychosomatic healing. Ernest. L. Rossi's model (as developed in The Psychology oJlvfind-Body Healing) which focuses on information flow as a way to resolve the mind-body problem, is taken as a point of departure. Rossi proposes that hypnosis can be used therapeutically to introduce information ar the level of the psyche that is then transduced ro the endocrine system, the immune system, etc., activating them ro contribute to the healing process. Observing that hypnosis, as undersrood and used in the individualistic west, usually requires someone to induce a patient so that healing and therapy may be initiated (by suggestion), the aurhor then turns to the comparative record of anthropology to show that individuals regularly enter into trance states during religious rituals where they also are exposed to alternative real ities in which there are forces and beings believed able to both cause and cure illness. This information, it is hypothesized, is transmitted symbolically to the psyches of individuals in both words and images. The results of anthropological studies of the role of symbols in healing are summarized. Adding the cultural dimension of trance states induced during religious rimal in which suggestions that come from the alternative reality are transduced to the psyche of the individual and then to his/her endocrine. immune, and other systems, Rossi's model is expanded and hypothesized as an explanation for rhe surgeries and other supernaturally meditated healings. An experiment conducted to test the model is presented
