Psíquicos fazem descobertas arqueológicas!!!

Visão remota é a demonstrada capacidade de indivíduos em descrever pessoas, lugares, ou acontecimentos os quais eles estão protegidos em virtude de espaço, tempo, e protocolos de “cegueira”. Fazem isso de forma bastante semelhante a que uma testemunha ocular faria. Todos os seus sentidos estão envolvidos; isso é, podem responder perguntas que envolvem aromas, sons, cores, formas, texturas, e mesmo gostos. O mecanismo desta percepção é desconhecido.

Michael Persinger - o mesmo cientista citado por Carl Sagan em O Mundo Assombrado Pelos Demônios - tece a seguinte hipótese:

The physical processes by which the information is extracted from the environment have not been measured. We suggest the following hypothesis that we expect to be testable within this decade. First, all objects, including human beings, are immersed within the geomagnetic static field. Second, each object might produce specific interference or some variant of birefringence patterns within this field. Third, these patterns when subtracted from the more or less constant static geomagnetic field would be the electromagnetic units distributed within three-dimensional space that could be integrated into another form of perception of space and time as yet not detected by instrumentation.

Although information is most frequently defined as digital phenomena, representations might be encoded by juxtaposing images induced by birefrin-gence with chaotic signals. Recent engineering developments by Garcia-Ojal-vo and Roy (2001) have indicated that chaotically optimal signals for conventional images are resistant to noise, thus minimizing the requirement for error-correction. They are difficult to obscure or to disrupt by traditional sources of electromagnetic noise. These signals can be considered naturally camouflaged.

If these patterns contain the information involved with Mr. Swann's accuracy, then enhanced geomagnetic activity would be a primary candidate to mask but not eliminate the contrast (acuity) and shape of these patterns. The frequent observation that global geomagnetic activity exceeding about 20 nT is associated with a decreased likelihood of spontaneous psi experi-ences (Persinger, 1993) and less congruence between experimental stimuli and experiences during dreams monitored in the laboratory (Persinger & Krippner, 1989; Krippner & Persinger, 1996) would be consistent with this prediction. Stated alternatively, the refringent signatures around objects would be equivalent to averaged energies of less than 20 nT displayed within temporal intervals of decasec to kilosec.

The human brain, specifically through right hemispheric processes, could experience this form of stimuli as meaning and emotional significance. The spatial extent of these stimuli would far exceed the limits of most acute senses. From this perspective the limbic system could have evolved because of its capacity to discern directly the organization of meaning as an additional dimension within the distal physical environment. This would include the spatial location or the state of individuals emotionally significant to the animal. Attribution of reward and punishment to stimuli perceived through classical sensory modalities, a more accepted limbic property, may have co-evolved with this process.

Stimuli that evoke similar perceptual patterns or constancies (John, 1990) in all or most normal human brains should be more accurately detected once these patterns have been associated with images or verbal labels. Natural objects and discrete processes that exist in larger increments of space and time, such as tornados or volcanoes, would be more optimal for discrimination because cerebral representation of the percept would be more intense (such as the detection of the moon by the normal visual system) and would be less affected by culture and language (such as the subtleties of the patterns of stars, the constellations). This speculation would be consistent with the subject's experiences during the last three decades that "arche-types" and related images are one of the keys to accurate remote viewing.

If there is an organization of physical meaning or affect within the geo¬physical environment that is coupled to the birefringence patterns generated by objects and events embedded within a space, then the organization could involve much longer time frames than conventional perception. Houses, structures, and natural places that exist for decades would constitute a stable meaning structure, analogous to the fixed positions of pixels within a photo¬graphic array that allows the perception of the picture. Because the human being is more mobile, stable positions within this spatial configuration would be less probable. Mr. Swann's drawings during the outbound experiments involved the locations of large objects or historically protracted processes rather than the movement of people or their biological structure.

The physical mechanism by which information at a distance could be discerned would require a holographic-like representation within space rather than the propagation of information that would be attenuated over space. The information might be contained within the geomagnetic field itself and would be associated with processes within and around the energy now described as flux lines. Access to distal information by a reference because of its immersion within a field is not a novel concept within neuroscience. Glial cells within brain space are functionally related by a syncytium by which each glial cell has the potential to respond to the subtle changes in levels of potassium and steady potentials from anywhere within the volume. These distances are in the order of 10,000 times greater than the width of the cell.

Extraction of the information would be analogous to a holographic process (Bentov, 1977) through the volume of space contained within the subject's brain. Theoretically, the entire "image" could be reproduced from this subset of the entire space. Similar to other holographs, as more "sections" were obtained the pattern or image would not necessarily change qualitatively. Instead, the details and accuracy of identifying the object would increase. If the information was limited then only larger, more conspicuous structures, such as the outline of a building, would be discerned.

During the two outbound trials the subject drew the key structures of the major stimulus first, sometimes repeatedly. As time progressed, the "spatial perspective" or aperture of his pictures or viewing widened and the details increased. From a stricdy behavioral perspective, the pattern would exhibit the properties of fractals. As the pattern is amplified or focused a similar pattern emerges at each level of spatial organization ad infinitum.
In the outbound studies, the people observing the targets would have spatial emotional patterns from the brains of the observ¬ers rather than the passively generated the neural patterns that code their brains as they per¬ceived the stimuli. From the perspective of this model, Mr. Swann would not be discerning the highly idiosyncratic, linguistic, and quasirandom processes that likely defined the individual's thoughts. Instead, he would have been experiencing the perceptual constants and shared algorithms for emotional meanings associated with the right hemispheric activity at the times of the observations by those perceivers. He would have been discerning the perceptions of the left hemispheric ideas or thoughts of the observers.

The pattern of Mr. Swarm's responses to the pictures hidden in an envelope in an adjacent room suggested a systematic process that emphasized the distinct intrinsic perceptual patterns of the stimuli as well as their affective themes. The observable components of the stimuli were the thickness of a page in a typical book, constructed of cellulose, chemical developers, and ink. For such detection to occur the density of meaningful information should be large because the birefringence patterns would be expected to be weak. If this narrow range of chaotic patterns were discerned by the subject, then weak complex magnetic fields applied across the stimulus area should produce competing interference patterns that could distort the stimulus or mask its intrinsic characteristics. Our experiments conducted during a second visit in July 2000 by this subject (Persinger & Koren, 2002), supported this prediction.

If remote viewing involves brain activity, then it should be influenced by perhaps the most powerful process involved in the adaptation of mam¬malian adults to their environment: learning. Mr. Swann's preferred procedure of observing the targets after a few trials (about 15 min.) would be con¬sistent with the concept of reinforcement or feedback. In fact, he repeatedly emphasized that the process was most effective when the remote viewer learned to discern when to disengage at the peak of the accuracy.

One qualitative feature of the temporal sequence of Mr. Swann's de-scriptions and the likely activity of the stimulus sources (the behavior of the people observing the objects during the outbound experiments) was the weakened concurrence of the serial order of the events. His images and words during the 10- to 15-min. periods of "reception," although accurate for the entire trial as a unit, contained details that would have more likely occurred several minutes before or several minutes after the experiences of the observers at the stimulus sites. Considering the relationship between increments of time and space (Persinger, 1999b) in the perception of phenomena and the existence of more than one binding factor (the process that integrates transcerebral electroencephalographic activity) for human consciousness (Persinger, 1999a), an as yet unknown change in time perception may be possible.

If the concept that remote viewing involves access of a holographic-like process containing spatial relationships of meaning is approximately valid, then large amounts of information regarding the earth and its surface config¬urations must be contained within this hologram. Individuals with specific alterations in right hemispheric function, which emphasizes spatial and emotional relationships of stimuli discerned through more known modalities, might discern this information.

Consciousness may be considered a type of insulation from the myriad stimuli within our environment. Edelman (1989) has hypothesized that con¬sciousness is constantly recreated every 20 to 40 msec, as fields of activity within re-entrant cerebral pathways. Llinas and Pare (1991) have indicated that cohesive neuroelectromagnetic fields exhibit an approximately 10- to 20-msec. phase shift between the rostral and caudal poles of the brain. One obvious question concerns what occurs between the end of one phase or packet and the beginning of another. Because the sense of "now" is longer than the continuous recreations of these "quanta" of transcerebral fields, the phenomenology of consciousness would be experienced as a Jamesian "continuous stream."

We suggest that the transient separation of these quanta for a brief amount of time, given electrical seizures within the right hemisphere, functional hemispheric asymmetry due to mismatches of reciprocal interhemi-spheric inhibition through corpus callosal pathways, or to specific experimentally applied electromagnetic fields may allow access to environmental information normally insulated by these successive reactions. Information extracted during this "temporal dilation" between adjacent phases or serial quanta would be included into the normal stream of consciousness in a manner analogous to the inclusion of exteroceptive stimuli into a concurrent dream.

From this perspective the generation of 7-Hz spike and slow wave activity over the occipital lobe while Mr. Swann was experiencing and drawing images attributed to distant information may have reflected this separation of the serial generation of these temporal quanta of cohesive cerebral activity that defines normal consciousness. The quantitative relationships between the numbers of these spikes and the accuracy of the drawings would be consistent with this argument. We have suspected that these spikes might also be related to pontine-geniculo-occipital transients that precede the onset of normal dream sleep. Were this assumption correct, then the images reported by Mr. Swann would be analogous to a special variant of waking dreams.

The potential interaction between specific brains of members of the human species and components within the geomagnetic field may occur because of the shared mode of frequencies between the brain and the geomagnetic field. The fundamental mode frequency for the earth (the Schumann Resonance) is about 7 to 8 Hz given the radius of the earth-ionospheric shell and the speed of electromagnetic propagation (Koenig, Krueger, Lang, & Soenning, 1981). The fundamental mode frequency for neocortical reso¬nances would be similar if we assume the radius of the brain was on the order of 10 cm and the average peak for corticocortical propagation was on the order of 10 m/sec. (Nunez, 1995). It may be of interest that if we solve for the radius of the system for the dominant frequency (7 Hz) displayed by Mr. Swann's brain during remote viewing, for corticocortical velocities of 6 m/sec, 8 m/sec, and 10 m/sec, the radii of the system supporting these nondispersive fields would be 19 cm, 26 cm, and 32 cm, respectively. These values would involve distances around but outside of the skull.

The energies that compose the stimuli involved with remote viewing could be extremely small. For example, as suggested by Jibu and Yasue (1995), an infinitesimal amount of energy is sufficient to create a Goldstone boson. Within macroscopic orders these bosons can be regarded as waves with very low frequencies. The wave motions of aligned electric dipoles would exhibit coherence lengths on the order of about 50 micrometers. Ac¬cording to Jibu and Yasue, no microscopic physical phenomena other than the Goldstone boson could manifest a macroscopic electromagnetic wave within electroencephalographic ranges.

The idea that brains might access components within the whole of the field generated by the billions of human brains immersed within the geomag¬netic field is similar to the concept of the Geopsyche (Persinger & Lafre-niere, 1977) and to the eastern description of the Akashic Record. Whereas the Geopsyche is contingent upon large numbers of human brains with similar brain structures (and hence memories) functionally coupled by their immersion within the static component of the geomagnetic field that produces a temporospatial gestalt beyond the individual elements, the eastern concept appears to presume a representation dependent upon both contemporary living and previously living brains. However, these ideas do not require non-physical or spiritual assumptions but may reflect an intrinsic feature of the natural environment that can be experimentally manipulated and reproduced within the laboratory.
