I am an "intuitive analyst" (I prefer not to use terms like psychic or clairvoyant) and I have never smoked or taken any drugs, not even once. I also worked with a spiritual group which included very powerful clairvoyants, and only a handful smoked. One possible explanation is that your anxiety levels may have gone up, and you are not relaxing as much. This will change neuro-physiology, and that might have some affect. Try mini-mindfulness meditations, which use breath awareness and body-awareness to bring you more present. That will certainly relax you. I use them every day.<br /><br />As for the paper Dean mentions, I will take a look at it. I'd be particularly interested in the criticisms of the paper. I have been reading "Psi Wars" by Alcock Burns and Freeman, and I find the sceptics' positions very interesting. How is it that the same data can produce such polarised conclusions. Personally, I'm not worried about it, as my understanding of some psi-related phenomena is experience-based, not intellectual, but the whole 'debate' does shed light on the way human beings think and perceive the world, including the way they 'analyse' intellectual information.Marcus T.

And now it is being discovered in photosynthesis. <br /><br />Maybe in this generation progress won't be made funeral by funeral. The exposure rate of new discoveries that were supposed to be impossible can end up being so high that new fresh scientists never get to solidify their views on what is impossible anymore. I certainly hope so!Torhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832780160218654422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16158865.post-49861088229204581352010-10-21T13:59:38.690-07:002010-10-21T13:59:38.690-07:00When I received the notification from the NeuroQua...When I received the notification from the NeuroQuantology Journal today that a new issue was out, well, I reacted in the same joyous excitement I typically do. However, when I saw this paper listed in the current issue, my face just lit up. I did not have to look at the list of authors to know you were behind it, I just knew. <br /><br />I have been getting a stronger and stronger feeling every day that the “when will it be enough” question will be answered much sooner rather than later. This paper comes at a great time for me as well, as I am ‘attempting’ to write a higher-education textbook based on subject of Telepathy including the origins, research findings (e.g. phenomenology, and especially observational theories). <br /><br />I am wandering my way through writing two chapters right now on psi mediation and the experimental phase of psi, where I am attempting to approach current parapsychological models (e.g. memory model) of psi with current models springing up in the fields of quantum mechanics and the neurosciences. <br /><br />Right now I probably have about 30 papers hiding my desk from me on various relative hypothesis and theories, a copy of your book ‘Entangled Minds’ to my left, and a copy of Harvey Irwin’s ‘An Introduction to Parapsychology’ to my right, which unfortunately fell apart all over my office yesterday because I’ve been going through it so much, as I am using it as a reference for content and a reference for structure. And I am rambling, so I will wrap up. I love the paper; you certainly made my day, and keep up the incredible work. :)<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Theresa M.
