Current
Research:
Additional Implications and Applications of
Non-Local Consciousness
Introduction
This
program explores a variety of topics that focus on understanding
our connection to each other and unlocking the potential that
exists within each of us. Research areas include: parapsychology
(telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, and mind-matter interactions),
intention, alternative healing, experimenter effects, and non-human
animal consciousness.
| Empirical
Investigations of Parapsychological Experimenter Effects |
Status:
In Progress
Description:
When designing experimental methodologies and analyzing study
results, it is important to keep in mind the potential impact
of the experimenter's consciousness. These effects may result
from conscious intention or subconscious desire (the latter
of which may oppose the former). This study aims to explore
the methods and outcomes from different experiments varying
in experimenter belief, desire, and intention.

Empirical
Investigation of Canine-associated Micro-Psychokinesis
(the "Dog Study") |
Status:
Completed
Description:
Micro-psychokinesis (PK) events include changes in the output
of electronic sources of randomness and require statistical
analyses to be detectable. This study examined the possible
effects of the consciousness of a single canine companion animal
(and/or her entangled guardians) on a distant random event generator
(REG) through the use of the SyncTXT® service by Psyleron,
Inc. Statistical analyses determined a weak but present relationship
between the activity level of the canine participant (as coded
under blinded conditions from recorded video footage) and the
activity level reported in email messages sent by SyncTXT as
a result of REG fluctuations.

Addressing a Proposed Mechanism behind Orbic Photographic
Artifacts (the "Laser-Orb Study") |
Status:
Completed
Description:
Although the photographic artifacts known as 'orbs' are most
likely the result of reflections or dust very close to the lens,
discarnate interaction may occur elsewhere as part of this phenomenon.
To test whether the deceased can move dust into positions that
would result in orbs when photographed, we photographed a green
laser beam in a darkened room during active periods in which
the deceased were invited to push dust into the beam as well
as during control periods. Software was then used to quantify
the amount of dust highlighted by the laser in the photographs.
We found that there was significantly more dust in the beam
during control periods than active periods; this is the reverse
of what was requested. The possible explanations for these results
include: the dust was moved out of the target area by the deceased;
the dust was moved out of the target area through psychokinesis
by the experimenters; decision augmentation affected experimental
design and/or timing; and artifact or chance. The study is currently
being replicated.
