The most important "hardware" is between our ears. Focused states of consciousness can easily be achieved by meditation while listening to sound patterns through stereo headphones. Your brainwaves becomes "entrained" to the resultant "beat signal" from the combined sounds from both ears. The Monroe Institute markets tapes that use a type of "binauaral beat" technology that they call Hemi-Sync. http://www.monroeinstitute.org/programs/hemi-sync.html It is very easy to maintain steady theta (or any other state, for that matter) brainwaves this way. I make my own tapes, this way I can program different frequencies for experimentation. I have a lot of professional audio equipment, but you can download a free program called Cool Edit 2000 that you can use to make tapes with brainwave encoding. The program has a special "brainwave synchronizer" function that makes it easy. http://www.syntrillium.com/ The documentation for the freeware Cool Edit 2000 doesn't appear to describe the "brainwave synchronizer" function very well, but I can provide you with all the details if anyone is interested. |

Parsifal, Its very synchronistic you should mention Hemisync - my friend who I spent an hour or more talking to internationally last night was discussing Hemisync and offered to send me the first series of tapes, aimed around Focus 10 and slightly beyond. I'm feeling interested to try them, especially given the way the states attained named Focus 10 have been experienced by me recently on the borderline of sleep (only once, alas). I am a bit suspicious of the Institute's associations with government and other institutions however. While we're on the subject, I wot any mind altering technology, especially one that keeps the consciousness link unit in control, is helpful towards the end of acheiving the Siddhis, which are really only examples of mind over matter or using the brain in a specific way long since dead from disuse. 142=7 |

Pahana, I am also suspicious of "institutions" and their associations with government. Like I said, I make my own tapes, I do not use "Hemi sync" tapes, but make my own using the same technology. I want to avoid any possibility of subliminal suggestions, etc. being encoded onto the tape. I use to use pink noise as the carrier, but found that I liked using natural sounds that I record better. I digitally stereo record sounds like waves crashing onto a beach with the sounds of sea birds, etc. and then use that as the carrier for whatever brainwave frequencies I want to experiment with. I have not ever used any Monroe Institute material, so I can't say whether or not their methods or classes are any good. I only mention them as an example of this type of technology, and I know that my tapes do help me to achieve altered states of consiousness (and are a great stress reliever), this technology does definately work. |

Some years ago, a friend of mine who was studying neurology at John Hopkins showed me this interesting device that at the time was a new kind of biofeedback mechanism. To use it, one had to attach several electrodes to one's hand (galvanic skin response?), individual ones to each finger secured by velcro straps, and several others that were attached to the head. The machine itself was about the size of a small paperback book. When activated, it emitted a loud, high-pitched electronic hum, and the object of activating it was to try and relax oneself into different brainwave states, which would lower the pitch and volume of the hum. I discovered that by bringing oneself to what was essentially a "waking dream" state, ie. completely relaxed to the point of being in a trance-like state where both one's breathing and pulse had slowed down as much as possible (similar to deep sleep), the machine's hum had been reduced to a quiet cat-like purr. By maintaining that state for increasingly longer durations, it was possible to achieve higher levels of focus during meditation and most importantly, it served as a wonderful means to induce lucid dreaming if one used it for an hour or so before going to bed. Regrettably, I do not know the name of the manufacturer of said device, but was told at the time (this was about 92 or 93) that it would be soon introduced to the to the psychiatric practice community, and that was the last I've heard of it. What I wanted to know was: have either of you had any side effects (beneficial or otherwise) utilizing the tape method as indicated? Especially with regards to lucid dreaming experiences? Also, how do you feel about the idea of using the lucid dream as a kind of "training ground" for acclimating one's self to various non-ordinary states of consciousness? Any experiences using floatation tanks to this end? In combination with tapes? Practical/impractical? I thank you in advance for your input. |

Mr. Nasruddin, I have heard of biofeedback devices similar to the one you describe but haven't used anything like that yet. There is something about the sound of a "cat's purr" that is interesting by the way. There has been research done into why it is that a cat purrs and there is evidence that suggests that the vibration aids in bone growth and healing. I have heard of a device that simulates a cat's purr that is being used to try to stimulate bone growth for patients with osteoporosis. So verbalizing "mantras"; saying "OM" while meditating may be physically beneficial to you. I used to think this was silly but not anymore. I have not used a floatation tank, but anything that would relax you would help you to get into a theta state easier. I don't use a sensory deprivation chamber but it helps to be in a dark, quiet room. I have noticed many beneficial effects from using my brainwave entrainment sounds. Lucid dream experiences happen often. It used to be that I could not remember my dreams, but I remember most of the details now. I also have noticed that certain psychic abilities have increased, although I still do not have complete control over them. I have many clairvoyant dreams. I seem to be much more aware of subtle energy fields now. I can now see auras sometimes, where I never could before. I think the best way to say it is that my awareness of who I am and the awareness of my previously unknown and unused abilities has increased. |

Very interesting comments by all. It is unfortunate we live in separate countries or we could organise a way of orchestrating a project involving this technology. My current researches are in different areas which I don't feel comfortable revealing yet until I can speak more clearly about them. Hopefully I'll be able to write a new series soon. Right now I think I need to concentrate on learning some meditation methods more thoroughly. 142=7. http://rosanista.tripod.com/library01.htm |

These are useful brainwave frequencies to experiment with: Delta = 1 to 3hz Theta = 4 to 7hz Alpha = 8 to 12hz Beta = 13 to 25hz Gamma = 25hz on up beyond 200hz. I am not sure how high gamma goes. The effects of these frequencies in general are as follows; Delta causes very deep sleep, lucid dreaming and increased immune functions. Theta is for deep relaxation, increased memory and focus. This is the best area of frequencies for meditation to achieve transcendental states, possibly increases psychic abilities. Alpha is light relaxation, seems to be an area where learning is enhanced. I use alpha with theta a lot. Alpha is just below the normal state of alertness. Coming back up into alpha after being in theta for a while allows your concious mind to register and store the impressions that your subconcious mind experiences in theta more easily. It is a little hard to explain, but that is about the best way I can say it. Another good way to use alpha would be to encode a recorded tape with your voice going over material for a test and listen to it as you fall asleep. This is a great way to cram for a test as alpha seems to be an area where "superlearning" occurs. Beta is the normal awake state and states of stress and anxiety and alertness. I have no idea what gamma does. Probably will give you a headache or something! It makes me think of a scifi movie called "scanners" where people's heads blew up. Just kidding, I really have no idea what gamma does. |

Like most of you, I am also cautious when it comes to anything produced of this ilk by an institution, particularly those dependant on suspect sources of funding. Good ideas for constructing our own. I also tend to heed Lilly's warnings about the use of electrodes, their use being another reason he left NIMH and started his own independant facility. If anyone has any more info on electrodes - pro and con - let me know. As to music, after trying different types from classical to Gregorian chants, for me those which contain a patterned drumming beat, an odd mixture of Celtic and Native American (hard to find, I know), a subtle almost imperceptable beat which gradually increases in tempo, results in an almost ecstatic state. Would this be anything similar to what is characterized as "binauaral beat"? For reaching a completely relaxed meditative state quickly which then jumps to *another* level, Gabriel Faure's "Requiem", Opus 48 - written as a "lullaby of death, a happy deliverance, reaching eternal happiness", is beyond anything else I have found. OK, once we utilize these methods to "entrain the brain" toward achieving various non-ordinary states of consciousness or altered perceptions, how do we begin to "consciously" store and recall the memories and experiences of these states? Would the alpha state facilitate this as a type of enhanced "learning"? Great links and explanations, all! I'm anxious to check out the Corbin influence. http://www.incunabula.org |

Harla, while different types of music can help change a person's mood or help in relaxation, this has nothing to do with "binaural beat" technology. I think I need to better explain how this technology works. First of all, the frequencies we want the brain to become entrained to are below the normal range of human hearing of 20 to 20khz. Even if you could hear these low frequencies, even the most highly priced professional headphones will not reproduce them. So we need a little ingenuity to get these sounds into our head. Thankfully, we have two ears instead of only one or this technology would not work. Lets say we want the brain to become entrained to a 5hz (theta) signal. As I mentioned above, we cannot hear that, but we can easily hear a 1000hz tone. If we apply a 1000 hz tone to one ear and a 1005 hz tone to the other, your brain combines these two tones to internally produce the difference of 5hz. It sounds like a vibrato or pulsing effect. This is the basic idea, but in actuality what is done is that we use what is called a carrier wave. This can be music, voice, just plain noise, any type of sound will work. The sound is played through headphones but there is a difference in phase between the sound going into the left ear and the sound going to the right ear that corresponds to the frequency we want the brain to entrain to. If you only listen to one of the two earpads, you will not notice that the sound or program material (the carrier waveform) has been encoded with brainwaves. But when you listen to both simultaneously through the headphones, you will *hear* or *feel* a swirling or pulsing effect that is the brainwave component. Here are a couple of links that might help to explain this further: http://www.monroeinstitute.org/programs/binaural.html http://www.monroeinstitute.org/programs/process.html |

Which of these states are closest to hypnagogic? Is there a correlation? I'm going out on a limb here, I know, but... on two occasions, during a hypnagogic state, I "saw" subtext: one was in a book I was reading. The subtext was in red and displayed in an unusual pattern on the page. The language was not "English", but I could "understand" it. The other was during a very boring presentation. The subtext appeared on the projection screen in a very vivid blue, also in a pattern. I nearly jumped out of my chair when I "saw" it and it took a couple of minutes for my "conscious" state to rearouse itself to being fully alert and then the subtext disappeared. Fnords, indeed! Do you think ol' RAW was trying to tell us something? (smile) Also, during these hypnagogic states, does anyone recall experiencing something akin to "watching" dual screens? http://www.hyperreal.org/~mpesce/fa.html |

Bearden's Scalar EM Theories - Critique and Links - by Rick Andersen "THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS--Phase Conjugate Waves and their Relation to Scalar Electromagnetics" [Take particular note of the many quotes from Nick Herbert's book, Faster Than Light-- Superluminal Loopholes In Physics (1988)] http://www.tricountyi.net/~randerse/sclrmenu.htm http://www.tricountyi.net/~randerse/andersen.htm |

Harla, it is interesting that you posted that article by Rick Anderson in this thread. The "binaural beat" technology I have been discussing is related to scalar waves. Our brains are a type of scalar interferometer, with its two hemespheres. What this binaural beat technology is doing, is phase cancellation of the audio from each hear to produce internal to the brain a difference in frequency (the desired theta, alpha, or other brainwave frequency) and a scalar component wich are "standing waves" and "time-reversed" waves. I agree with Anderson's assesment of Bearden's electromagnetics in that Bearden has not always been consistent in what his definition of a scalar wave is. Excellent article, there are many more excellent articles on his website. http://www.tricountyi.net/~randerse/default.htm As for your comments on the hypnagogic state, I often *see* images of geometric designs, many of which look like some kind of alien alphabet, as I fall into trance states in theta around 5hz. They usually happen as a transitional stage. It is difficult to describe what they transistion to, as sometimes it can be the experience of a transcendental type of state where I feel a unity with the cosmos, these experiences are beyond words to describe. Other times I see hypnagogic images before I fall into lucid dream states or other visions. Many times if I am too tired from a hard day at work, I will simply "click out" or fall asleep as it is sometimes difficult to remain mentally awake as my body falls asleep. For anyone who is thinking of trying this technology, you will likely experience this "clicking out" a lot at first until you can maintain your concentration. As these images appear in your mind, I have found that this is the point where I need to focus hardest on just "being" and observing. It is easy for the mind to start wandering, thinking of the events of the day, etc. But it is at this hypnagogic stage that you must not "daydream" or you will click out. If I can maintain my awareness and focus, I will "fall" into a vision (different than a dream) or attain a transcendental type of state which I assume is the same or similar state to what the hindus call samadhi. So, I definately use these geometric, hypnagogic images as a type of path marker for me, they let me know that I am in theta and need to maintain focus. I have never experienced "watching dual screens" as you put it, but I have experienced a feeiling of being inside and outside my body at the same time, a feeling of my mind being in two(or more) places at the same time. |

Parsifal, Your mention of being in 2 places at once caught my attention - back a few years when I did a few experiments with cannabis, I encountered a state where my consciousness was in a myriad of different places at once, and those places were in a very specific geometrical relation to one another, like triangular facets of sorts. What is your theory on what these bilocated states represent and their usefulness, or how to go about attaining them? I have recently managed to experience the mind awake body asleep state without trying to concentrate. However getting there seemed flukey. What exercises can you recommend (without binaural beats or technology) for starting with relaxing the body into a sleep state, or even just affecting things like perception of feeling and metabolic rate in the body? 142=7. |

[Pahana] "What is your theory on what these bilocated states represent and their usefulness, or how to go about attaining them?" I only observe during my meditations, I try not to theorize too much about anything I experience in altered states, especially during the experience. I just "experience". Anytime I start "thinking", the experience will imediately be over. "Thinking" or trying to understand during the experience has the same effect as daydreaming, you will either drift off into a dream or fall asleep or experience something I call "clicking out". I can't really explain this but it feels just like it sounds. You'll know what I mean by "clicking out" the first time you experience it. The only "theory" I have on this is that it is proof to me at least that parts of our consciousness exist outside the body and we are free to explore outside of our physical being. As for excercises to get to this state, well it is much easier for me if I use the binaural beat tech, but I have done this without it as well. I think of the technology as "training wheels". It helps me to get to these states easier, but then from then on I am able to get there much easier even without the tech. Sort of like remembering the way. Without the tech, I would just breathe deeply for a while and then just relax as best you can and observe yourself, do not think, just be aware, watch yourself. I find that after a while meditating, I automically sense that I am observing my meditation from outside my body. My awareness just shifts. I don't really have any tricks, I just find that this happens. Tibetan yogis have been doing this for thousands of years, so I don't think I have any new method to add, I can only share my experiences. The best advice I can give would be don't try too hard. Don't try at all. Don't do anything, don't think. Just observe. When your concious mind starts to wander, immediately bring it back to rest if you can. After a while of doing this you will teach your mind to be still so that you can see beyond it. And then once again, just observe. Um, I didn't mean to sound like some kind of bodhisatva Zen dude even if I kinda am one. Maybe we should keep this thread for technology and start a new one for traditional meditation methods. |

From psychotronics to psychotropics - sympathetic vibratory resonance and temporal resonance. MORE from the "source"! This IS tech stuff. Bear with me. The first section is the patented invention of the "Daddy" of psionics, T. Galen Hieronymus. The invention was developed while Hieronymus was an engineer for the Municipal Power Company in Kansas City. He also holds a Ph.D. in physics. The patent mentioned is but one of his many quasielectronic instruments designed to (a) analyze the component elements of an ore sample without spectroscopic, chemical or other orthodox methods and, (b) influence (even kill) living organisms, even from vast distances, with no scientifically understandable mechanism at the other end - true, action at a distance! In part, these patents are based on similar theories (Keely's) of sympathetic vibrations and resonance theories. Please read the 1977 interview for a practical understanding of sympathetic vibratory physics. http://www.svpvril.com/Hier.html#TOP Hier The connections between these theories and those found in the I&OH documents is stunning. Hieronymous lays the groundwork for a sympathetic interface between man and machine. For more information on Sympathetic vibratory physics (which has a lot of Keely links) http://www.svpvril.com/svpweb5.html PATENT - DETECTION OF EMANATIONS FROM MATERIALS AND MEASUREMENT OF THE VOLUMES THEREOFPatented Sept. 27, 1949 Patent No. 2,482,773 Thomas G. Hieronymus, Kansas City, Mo. Application October 23, 1946, Serial No. 705,028 13 Claims. (Cl. 250-372) Taking this to the next step, Terrance McKenna discusses the use of hallucinogens to access non-ordinary reality (yes, I know we've rehashed this many times), but further outlines the synasthestic merging of our perceptual mediation of reality while also explaining the acceleration and intensification of temporal resonances and the unfolding of these resonances which he believed would eventually reach super-compression by 2012 - "Novelty" - when the "cosmic egg" will crack and the contraction of space and time at the end is marked by surrealistic connections between things which would ordinarily not be connected. [See personal note below, also go to the following link and note the harlequin inside the mind: http://www.levity.com/eschaton/novelty.html] Mckenna formulated that the psychedelic experience discovered a synasthestic definition of telepathy - "under the surface of human biological organization, the next level in the organization of language: the ability to generate some kind of acoustical hologram that is manipulated by linguistic intent...It represents a synesthesia in the presence of ongoing communication." McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake took these discussions even further in a series of private and finally, open, conferences conducted at Esalen. Trialogues, contains the basic scope of many of these discussions. Mircea Eliade, in The Sacred and the Profane, states that the "sacred is that which ontologically founds the world". Hence the "sacred game" is designed to found or birth (Incunabula) the "new" reality suggested by McKenna. They also discussed at great length Chardin's theories of the "Omega Point" which McKenna subsequently dubbed, "Time Wave Zero." [An outgrowth of this was a month-long invited conference by Esalen and the Physics Consciousness Research Group of San Francisco (an offshoot of Arthur Young's ISC) on the conceptual gaps and possibilities in theoretical physics and the relevance of modern physical thought for consciousness transformation on the planet. Participants included: Jack Sarfatti, Saul-Paul Sirag, Michael Murphy, Fred Alan Wolf, Nick Herbert, Peter Flessel, Ralph Abraham, Michael Karnov, and John King.] Finally, the following excerpt from McKenna's speech entitled, "Understanding and the Imagination in the Light of Nature" given in Los Angeles, California, October 17, 1987 is most revealing and he mentions his trip to Java and that "the unique quality of psilocybin is that it reveals not colored lights and moving grids, but places - jungles, cities, machines, books, architectonic forms of incredible complexity." What does that remind you of? Pay careful attention to McKenna's strange encounter with a "mad man and intellectual criminal" (wonder who that might be?) and the effects of his ingestion of DMT, i.e, the alien dimension, living language. More importantly, primarily and directly due to this experience, McKenna embarked on his now famous studies and the formulation of Time Wave Zero. To McKenna "discovery of the new world" meant that around 2004 an "intellectual revolution that would leave our world unrecognizable to itself" might occur. He said this occurrence would also vindicate his personal belief of the discovery of a nearby inhabited dimension filled with alien intelligence. Isn't that exactly what the I&OH documents attempt to convey? "..there is abelief that there is a hyperobject called the Overmind, or God, that casts a shadow into time. History is our group experience of this shadow. As one draws closer and closer to the source of the shadow, the paradoxes intensify, the rate of change intensifies. What is happening is that the hyperobject is beginning to ingress into three-dimensional space." McKenna "And then someone came to me one rainy February evening, in 1967, really a mad person, a kind of a social menace and intellectual criminal. A person who had said to me only months before, "we must live as if the apocalypse has already happened." Here he was on my doorstep, he wore little black suits that he buttoned up to the throat. He came in and he said 'here's something that you might be interested in.' And he brought out a sample of di-methyltryptamine that he had somehow come into contact with. ..I had.. a revelation of an alien dimension; a brightly lit, inhabited, non three-dimensional, self-contorting, sustained, organic, linguistically intending modality that couldn't be stopped or held back or denied...there were these self-transforming machine-elf creatures -- were speaking in some kind of colored language which condensed into rotating machines that were like Faberge eggs, but crafted out of luminescent super-conducting ceramics, and liquid crystal gels...this went on for two or three minutes, this situation of disincarnate dimensions orthogonal to reality engulfing me -- and then as I came out of it, and the room re-assembled itself, I said "I can't believe it. It's impossible. It's im-possible. ... This was more multiplistic than the universe that we share with each other. It was almost like the victory of neo-Platonic metaphysics -- everything had become made out of a fourth-dimensional tesseractual mosaic of energy." [Personal note: While reading McKenna's speech, I knew I was on the right track as soon he utilized as a metaphor for "strik[ing] through the mask of the coordinates of apparent reality", my favorite quote from Melville, "if you would strike, strike through the mask."] McKenna's Timeline "Then in 2004 we come into that area which is in resonance with the period of the discovery of the new world. 1492 in other words. And the exploration of the New World and its subjugation over about a hundred and fifty years will be going on as we open the millennium. What the discovery of the new world will mean, in terms of our reenactment of these great themes, is any body's guess. It could be the vindication of my style of rap: a nearby inhabited dimension filled with alien intelligence. Or it may be the vindication of a more orthodox sort of expectation of extraterrestrial contact. Or perhaps, ultimately, the launching of large telescopes into orbit which will confirm for us the existence of oxygen-rich water-heavy worlds around nearby stars. That alone would make an intellectual revolution that would leave our world unrecognizable to itself. After the turn of the century, the acceleration of the unfolding of these resonances becomes more and more intense and eventually we reach the super-compression of modern times. This is why I proposed to you last night, the term "compressionist" for this school of thought that myself, and Sheldrake, and Frank Barr, and Ralph Abraham represent. Because we all are talking about the dense nesting of concrescent systems. And ultimately, in my own point of view, the emergence of a transcendental object at the end of time. And the end of time is not far off. As Joyce says in The Wake -- it may not be as far off as you wish to be congealed. It is, I think within the lifetimes of all of us, that there will be an ontological transformation of the human mode. The transcendental object is emerging."

I entered the key terms: Hieronymus and patent, relaxed and "opened" myself to "whatever".

This might even be a novel way of inventing a cheap biofeedback machine. Psionics/Psychotronics devices could be made with some kind of rule or measure to record the current reading on ones heart rate or other autonomic functions.

It is about (you guessed it) Sympathetic Vibratory Physics, and while part of it is flakey/incorrect scientifically, other parts apart to be spot on and very interesting. I will look into it when I get some free time. 142=7. |

having attempted to construct a Gysin style Dreamachine years ago, i was very interested in the mind-machines which began making commercial appearances, also some years ago. i bought a set of one-LED (red) per eye goggles with adjustable flash rates. the blurb promised '2001 finale type visuals' - a small band of flash rate did indeed induce swirling-geometries but they were faint and only in one colour. i tried the Orion mind lab - i lasted a very short while and my brain was shouting "Penfield Mood Organ! abort! abort! mind control!" so that was the end of my experiments with that. i wanted to bring this up as i found that some are using this machine, and possibly others like it, to do remote viewing of future events. my intuition is that these machines are only allowing a view of "someone's" version of future events. i thought so before i even found out that they were being used in this way; and then after having recently come across material on reports about deliberate attempts to steer reality down a path which includes more wars and mass-destruction i thought maybe i should say what i had to say on this. the 100th monkey effect is very real ; in the scenarios refered to above it is being used in a negative way. i am not accusing the manufacturers of the machine, or designers or whatever - though they certainly could be responsible - just want to point out that you should be careful where your future-viewing techniques have come from as they may only allow access to certain types of realities. and then even if the source of the technique is sound it still doesn't rule out a mind-control 'net' above that. in the Gysin booklet Dreamachine Plans, it states that African tribes used to look to the Sun with eyes closed and wave a hand with fingers apart in front of their closed eyes for visual effects. this does have excellent results, the downside being your arms get tired. the point here is that the difference is in the light source : even with many-coloured LEDs per eye it will not be the same as the Sun. best option :- a wheel of some sort with right spacing and spin which you can view the Sun through the spokes (eyes closed remember); or one of those natural light bulbs inside the Dreamachine. if you do stare at the Sun please let me know if you also see the black and white halo / band around it, and the turquoise and pink emanations. i am not encouraging Sol-vent abuse here - lifetimes of hallucinogenic-psychedelic consumption are required before staring at the Sun. yes, my eyes are fine - i got them checked. i also have an idea for a combined orgone-accumulator / flotation tank / pyramid / with turret for astral projection to chosen stars and celestial objects (also could be modified for microscopic-type astral projection). if anyone wants to go ahead and make these please run with the torch - grab the non-lighted end. |

you have some fine books on that list. have you seen the adventures-unlimited catalogue on-line ? there's some excellent titles there. how about the newfalcon site ? i have too much to read. i think i've gone logos-mind as i can still write, but reading is really difficult these days. can't focus ; my centre has been too much abused by phoney time-travellers. visual / audio art seems the only possible option availible, or incredibly shit jobs. everyone write books, and i'll do the covers ! even better - i'll do pictures for LSD sheets. that would be a good book - hemp blotter & eat these words. Mission Impossible : after you read these instructions digest them and get comfortable. your mission will commense in just under an hour, be ready to be on call for 24 hours. if you do not wish to accept this mission then run the paper under the tap as the chemical-treatments in the water will ruin the psychedelic molecules. on that note i am reminded of a leaflet i saw about flouride being used as a mind-control agent, apparently it removes the will to resist. would be a good explanation for mass-stupidity and apathy towards higher-consciousness, as it is added to the water supply - at least in some parts of the UK. Chlorine kills the psychoactivity of the LSD molecule, so it doesn't take a genius to figure out that any similar chemistry of a natural kind will be harmed by too many drinks / bathing in chlorinated water. one way in which the higher chakra neurotransmitters are broken down - leading to the loss of the ability to see and feel auric energies. out of interest, does anyone reading this see auras ? if not, do you recall being able to do so naturally when younger or during any cleansing periods of your life ? |

Surprisingly, I was able to download the Unitel doc without accessing the site...yeah..wierd... For me, nothing on the site was "new" in that it was the same ol-same ol rehashed over and over again by Maurer et al on the anti-grav boards. (I will have to ask him if these comments are, in fact, his. But, they sound like it.) BUT, with respect to the technological theories (scalar waves, phase conjugate steering, ZPE, MOSS - Parcifal can certainly add more insight as to the Bose-Einstein condensate) it's definitely worth a closer look for those interested in the tech. Organizing the random quantum fluctuations "coherently" still seems an amazing feat, if possible, to me. Over a year ago I also ran these theories and those of de Aguino's past a few folks I know (former skunkworks Stealth engineers and a guy whose company has a contract to build the new joint Stealth fighter) and their responses were "interesting". Nonetheless, the intriguing aspect -for me - was and has been in both Maurer's and others repeated commentary that in order to have a 'workable' and 'practical interstellar transportation system', there must be a viable 'interface' between man and technology, otherwise all dimensional/space travel would have to be via bots and/or remotes. Now, here's the rub...and the primary obstacle which they don't admit openly...the tech *may* work well theoretically and with hardware, but at present (and this may have changed - I don't know) the present design/propulsion/fields/etc. requires individuals who are psi-enhanced for a type of "symbiotic/synasthetic" link. Of course it could also be that psi-enhanced individuals operate in a different wave conjugate "frequency" which isn't overwhelmed by the harmonics of the devices. (This info is not from the site but from Maurer's and others comments elsewhere.) *Initially*, I pondered whether the "travel cult business" was a sort of "recruitment" platform for those who might have these abilities and/or a little known side-agenda of all the consciousness studies research. Comments? Oh well....Chirp, Chirp! |

Somehow, that strikes me as strangely reminscent of Frank Herbert's "Dune", where the melange (spice) acts in psychoactive fashion to increase perceptive awareness of space/time, necessary for space travel (I think it was called "folding space"). Interesting how exapanded consciousness seems to be connected to travel in a number of works, fiction and non. The fact that this theme keeps turning up must be some sort of message for us? Maybe. Anyone else noticing this? |

I'm not sure if I'm being accurate here (I ignored his book because it seemed new ageish) but Dr Fred Bell's "Rays of Truth - Crystals of Light" seemed to have some ideas about how consciousness might be altered to make it prepared for what the New Agers call 4D consciousness. The related occult idea is probably related to the fuller development of the Ego by perfection of the 3 lower bodies in prep for developing Atma Buddhi and Manas. He suggested certain vitamin supplements, crystal arrays, meditations (all his own and payable to him of course) which used in combination could bring a person to a level where the devices in the back of his book (eg Time Space travel device) could be used. Of course his work seems on the surface somewhat of a sham (then again I could just be biased against New Agers), but some of the ideas he puts forward have merit and I think it would be interesting trying to marry them with th e Ong's Hat material. I do believe some change of mode of consciousness is required for interdimensional travel. I don't think anyone can describe it properly in words yet. There are both technological basis and esoteric basis behind it. 142=7 |

..speaking of altering consiousness..has anyone ever experimented with VASOPRESSIN and did you find it increased your cognative abilities over a period of time? ---------------------------------------Vasopressin is a peptide hormone found naturally in the brain and is partly responsible for the formation of memories. Its effects rapidly improve short-term memory and enhance memory imprints (i.e. after the event). -------------------------------------- from a review..by R.U.Sirius; VASOPRESSIN - Definitely the most euphoric of the memory-enhancing intelligence-increase drugs outside of the one being called "Euphoria" (more on Euphoria later), Vasopressin is marketed as Diapid, a prescription drug made by our old friends Sandoz. It can also be ordered as Vasopressin through chemical supply houses by those who know the ropes. I had five squirts of Vasopressin out of a nasal inhaler. I was surprised by how strong the effects were. I had that charged-up hyperconfident rush that one experiences with cocaine, but combined with much clearer ideation and without the numbing and discomfort or the strange and disquieting hard edges which often accompany even the more euphoric coke highs. It didn't last very long, about two hours, most of which unfortunately spent riding the BART and walking. By the time I got home, the experience had pretty well dissipated. I did not have an opportunity to experience Vasopressin as a work/writing drug. It was clear, however, simply from reading (I was reading "Gravity's Rainbow" at the time and I consider that a fairly challenging test of comprehension) on the BART ride home, that Vasopressin is an excellent tool for rapid learning and comprehension of complex systems of thought. http://www.smart-drugs.net/product-info/info-vasopressin.htm "wow..who turned on all..the lights!" |

Well, some people, in terms of altered consciousness are more "gifted" or cursed with multi-dimensional capability. Schizophrentics have the ability to bi-locate through training and manic-depressives (bi-polar) with higher order, attend often to multiple parallel dimensionality. Of course the clinical ones will dismiss all ot this, however, you don't know unless you are!! |
