  • Becoming Psychic Is a Good Book—Well Written and Enjoyable—And the Anecdotes Are Interesting
    “An intriguing and yummy look at the nature of psi. I love the writing style—it’s so clear, accessible, warm, straightforward, and intelligent. Steve’s [Dr. Kierulff] teaching stories are marvelous and Stan’s [Dr. Krippner] chapters on psi research are a wonderful read. It’s great to hear about some of his classic experiments from his perspective as an investigator.” —Belleruth Naparstek, psychotherapist and author, Your Sixth Sense: Activating Your Psychic Potential “Stanley Krippner is one of the most creative geniuses in our society. His work deserves to be honored and advanced. Everything Stan Krippner ever put his name on is exceedingly worthwhile.” —Larry Dossey, author, Reinventing Medicine “Stanley Krippner is a world-server of the first order. The dimensions of mind, body, and soul have been greatly expanded because of the illumina- tions he has brought to our time.” —Jean Houston, author and lecturer “Delightful! Becoming Psychic is a good book—well written and enjoyable—and the anecdotes are interesting. It’s important to talk about spirituality, caring, and connectedness, and how these relate to the deep parts of our being. Knowing more about psi can strengthen our understand- ing of divine Mystery.” —Jean Burns, consciousness researcher “When Stephen Kierulff presented his social psychological survey of voters’ attitudes about nuclear weapons at an American Psychological As- sociation meeting, I was impressed by his work and invited him to join our Peace Psychology Research Group. He became a regular and active con- tributor to the group and began researching Armageddon theology and its relationship to attitudes about nuclear war.

  • On the Relevance of Quantum Concepts to Dreaming Consciousness Montague Ullman, M.D
    1/8 On the Relevance of Quantum Concepts to Dreaming Consciousness Montague Ullman, M.D. (Date unknown, between 2001-2005) In the past two decades there has been considerable focus on the effort to reach a deeper insight into the nature of consciousness via quantum mechanics. There has been very little attention paid, however, to the fact that we are endowed with two naturally recurring forms of consciousness, one experienced in the waking state, the other in the course of sleep. Waking consciousness and dreaming consciousness are intimately related but quite different in the way they are experienced. What they share in common is the continuing mystery of their connection to their neurophysiological substrate. Fred Alan Wolf is one of the few physicists who have written extensively about this mystery (Wolf, 1994). Despite Freud's classic volume on the interpretation of dreams and the further contributions of several generations of psychoanalysts since then, the fact remains that the true nature of dreaming consciousness still eludes us. At least it does to me and so I have had to look elsewhere for clues to the unique features of our dream life. It is always a risk for someone to express views outside his own ken. To minimize the risk I have worked only with several of the basic concepts of quantum mechanics in their relevance to the unique features of dreaming. In what follows I will first consider the phenomenological features of these fascinating creatures of the night. Associated with subcortical arousal mechanisms, dreams have an ancient phylogenetic origin, the physiological components of which we share with other mammals.

Independent judges were used to score the correspondence between dreams and the target pool. No support was found for the hypothesis that individuals who are intolerant of ambiguity would report greater correspondence between their dreams and subsequently viewed target video clips.

  • Magicians on the Paranormal: an Essay with a Review of Three Books
    Magicians on the Paranormal: An Essay with a Review of Three Books GEORGE P. HANSEN’ ABSTRACT: Conjurors have written books on the paranormal since the 1500s. A number of these books are listed and briefly discussed herein, including those of both skeptics and proponents. Lists of magicians on both sides of the psi controversy are provided. Although many people perceive conjurors to be skeptics and debunkers, some of the most prominent magicians in history have endorsed the reality of psychic phenomena. The reader is warned that conjurors’ public statements asserting the reality of psi are sometimes difficult to eval- uate. Some mentalists publicly claim psychic abilities but privately admit that they do not believe in them; others privately acknowledge their own psychic experiences. Thme current books are fully reviewed: EntraSensory Deception by Henry Gordon (1987), Forbidden Knowledge by Bob Couttie (1988), and Secrets of the Supernatural by Joe Nickel1 (with Fischer, 1988). The books by Gordon and Couttie contain serious errors and are of little value, but the work by Nickel1 is a worthwhile contribution, though only partially concerned with psi. Magicians have been involved with paranormal controversies for cen- turies, and their participation has been far more complex and multifaceted than the usual stereotype of magicians as skeptical debunkers. In this paper, I review three fairly recent skeptical books by magicians, but before these are discussed, some remarks are in order concerning conjurors’ in- volvement with psi and psi research because there has been little useful discussion of the topic in the parapsychology literature.’ It is important to understand this background because several magicians have had an impact on scientists’ and the general public’s perception of psychical research, and some have played a major role in the modem-day skeptical movement (Hansen, 1992).

  • Apport (Paranormal)
    Apport (paranormal) 2020-07-03 BFOI Limited anser sig ha en vetenskaplig förklaring på det paranormala problemet med apporter. Vi kommer inte att här gå in på hur denna vetenskapliga förklaring ser ut, men om den föreslagna lösningen är korrekt kommer det att få stora konsekvenser för: 1) relationen mellan det paranormala och det vetenskapliga. 2) frågan om apporter är möjliga att automatisera. Bild ovan/Picture above: Lajos Pap (i mitten/middle), bedrägligt apportmedium/fraudulent apport medium. BFOI Limited arbetar för närvarande nästan uteslutande med denna fråga. Vad vi kunnat konstatera är att apporter är möjliga. Vi har likaså kunnat konstatera att även om apporter kan tyckas vara slumpmässiga är detta inte fallet. Den fråga som nu är av intresse är därför om apporterna är möjliga att styra på något sätt. Nedan återfinns på engelska, som bakgrund till problemet med apporter, vad Wikipedia har att säga om dessa paranormala förflyttningar. In English BFOI Limited considers itself to have a scientific explanation for the paranormal problem of apports. Here we will not go into what this scientific explanation looks like, but if the proposed solution is correct it will have major consequences for: 1) the relationship between the paranormal and the scientific. 2) the issue if apports are possible to automate. BFOI Limited is currently working almost exclusively on this issue. What we have been able to conclude is that apports are possible. We have also been able to conclude that, although apports may appear to be random, this is not the case. The question that is now of interest is therefore whether the apports are possible to control in any way.
