May** ABSTRACT: Precognition is defined as an atypical perceptual ability that allows the acquisition of noninferential information arising from a future point in space-time. Despite the controversies, there is sufficient empirical evidence for the validity of the phenomenon. The multiphasic model of precognition (MMPC) is capable of addressing the experimental data. The MMPC identifies two dis- tinct phases: The physics domain (PD) addresses the question, “How is it possible for information to traverse from one space-time point to another?” We suggest that the solution might be found within entropic considerations. The acquisition and interpretation of retrocausal signals from a future point in space-time is via three stages in the neuroscience domain (ND): Stage 1, perception of signals from an information carrier, which is based upon psychophysical variability in a putative signal transduc- er; Stage 2, cortical processing of the signals mediated by a cortical hyper-associative mechanism; and Stage 3, cognition, which is mediated by normal cognitive processes that lead to a precognitive response. The model is comprehensive, brain-based, and provides a new direction for research, re- quiring multidisciplinary expertise. In this article, the authors present the MMPC and discuss the rationale for the hypotheses put forth for the PD and the ND. Keywords: precognition, retrocausation, entropy, signal-based model, cortical hyperassociative mechanism Operationally, precognition (PC) is specified when a stimulus is generated relative to a response. In traditional human-centered research, a response is always elicited after some stimulus has been admin- istered. In precognition studies, however, researchers reverse that order—a randomly determined stimulus is generated after a response has been registered. At the end of this article, we provide a more formal defi- nition, based on the multiphasic model of precognition (MMPC). The observables in informational-psi phenomena are: (a) information originating at some distant space-time point and (b) the information eventually reported as some form of cognition. Both informational and person perspectives are necessary for the holistic understanding of the phenomenon. The problem of precognition (a person-centric perspective) needs to incorporate the external world. However, researchers trained in a person-centric perspective apply the principles of their field in interpret- ing physical theories. The absence of fidelity to the domain of a theory based in another discipline lends to utter confusion in its interpretation, leading to extending the theoretical constructs of a particular theo- ry way beyond its intended applications, limitations, and domain specificity. Examples include quantum theory, which addresses the domain of the micro-world of matter; information theory, which addresses the domain of “pure information” without cognitive content; and phenomenological theories, which address the subjective experience of the external physical reality. 1 This is the written version of an Invited Address delivered at the 57th Annual Convention of the Parapsychological Association, Concord, CA, USA, August 14–17, 2014. 6 The Journal of Parapsychology Defining the Problem Space The multiphasic model of precognition (MMPC) is a signal-based,2 process-oriented model de- signed to determine the causal mechanisms leading to the experience of precognition. As a starting point, we have formally defined the problem space of precognition (PC) by considering two phases. 1. Phase I falls exclusively within the physics domain (PD). It addresses the question, How is it possi- ble that information can go between two space-time points and be used, especially if the two points are separated such that their can be no causal relations between the two points? It is related to how information is carried from an external source, which is distant in time and space, to the percipient. Or in simpler terms, the PD considers everything about PC that occurs outside the head. We refer to psi in the PD as retrocausation (RC) and the carrier of such information coming from a future point in space-time as a retrocausal signal (RC signal). In doing so, we provide a distinction between the PD aspect of the process and use PC for the ND, to refer to the internal and subjective part of the process. 2. Phase II falls entirely within the neuroscience domain (ND)—internal to the human percipient. It addresses the experiential part of the problem, that is, how the information is acquired by a putative sensory system, how this information is processed in the brain, and how it is expressed. We define the acquiring mechanism as a transition between the PD and ND. In our view, RC information arises from the external world (i.e., the PD), and is perceived and processed in the internal world (i.e.,

  • Remote Viewing Can Enhance the Auditing Process Stephen L
    Review of Business Information Systems – Third Quarter 2010 Volume 14, Number 3 Remote Viewing Can Enhance The Auditing Process Stephen L. Woehrle, Minnesota State University, Mankato, USA ABSTRACT Remote viewing is a branch of parapsychology involving mental telepathy to view targeted objects. Significant studies and applications are cited that have legitimized remote viewing as a credible and valuable technique. This paper explores the application of remote viewing to some aspects of the auditing process. The author’s premise is that remote viewing can be used to detect anomalies in accounting systems. Its most relevant use may be for assessment questioning in a fraud investigation. Keywords: Remote viewing, fraud investigation, auditing techniques INTRODUCTION emote viewing is defined as the ability to experience and describe events beyond normal perception. It could also be called enhanced intuition, unconventional internal perception, or sixth sense. The term was coined by Laser Physicists Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ, in 1972, while working at the Stanford Research R1 Institute . Starting in the mid 1970s, The United States’ Department of Defense contributed over $23 million dollars to the Stanford Research Institute for the development of remote viewing techniques and applications, over a 20 year period. Some of those applications included the 1988 location of the shipwrecked Brig, Leander, in the Bahamas; the location of the kidnapped Patricia Hearst in 1974; and the location of a nuclear Soviet Bomber during the Carter Administration.2 U.S. research found that physics and psychology merge in the study of remote viewing abilities, because the human mind is linked to other connections by way of natural phenomena.

  • Remote Viewing As Applied to Futures Studies
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Technological Forecasting & Social Change 75 (2008) 142–153 Note: The opinions expressed in this column are those of the author, with no implication of agreement by either the editors or the Advisory Board. The question it raises is whether further research into this controversial area as a technological forecasting approach is desirable, or unwarranted as being based on questionable fringe science. It is interesting to note, for example, that experimental research on instinct or intuition by Dr. Gerd Gigerenzer, director of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, indicates that intuitive wisdom often outperforms the calculations of experts (see his book ʽʽGut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious" (2007); also New York Times, August 28, 2007). Harold A. Linstone Editor-in-Chief FROM MY PERSPECTIVE Remote viewing as applied to futures studies James H. Lee Future Studies Program, University of Houston, Houston, TX, United States Received 15 August 2006; received in revised form 13 September 2006; accepted 15 September 2006 Abstract Remote viewing is set of related protocols that allow a viewer to intuitively gather information regarding a specific target that is hidden from physical view and separated from the viewer by either time or distance. Research suggests that the same processes used to gather spatially non-local information can also be used to gather information that is temporally removed from the observer. This paper reviews the most common protocols for remote viewing — including Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV), Associative Remote Viewing (ARV), and Extended Remote Viewing (ERV). 1 This remains a controversial field of study.

(16 March 2005, updated 19 March 2005, 28 March 2005) Contents The Alien Invasion of Earth: Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs, “Flying Saucers”), Alien Abductions, Crop Circles and More ........ 1 Sources ....................................................................................... 1 A Brief Summary ......................................................................... 7 Sources A couple of months ago I observed, in my piece The Battle for Earth, that based on a number of general indicators of “goodness,” the human population falls into two large groups which, in the popular press, are referred to as Nordics and Reptilians. A distinguishing feature between the two groups is that the Nordics care for the Earth, and Reptilians do not. The Nordics and the Reptilians are currently engaged in a life-and- death struggle for control of the planet Earth. Until writing that piece, I had very little knowledge of, and little interest in, the subject of Nordics and Reptilians. Since then, I have read a number of books on the subject. It is a fascinating subject, with a large and growing literature spanning several decades. It involves ancient archeology, anthropology, metaphysics, the moon, crop circles, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and alien abductions. Most of the phenomena involved are unexplained by modern science. In many cases the phenomena are subjective and not repeatable, and modern science, by its nature (dealing mainly in objective, repeatable physical observations and measurements), has little to say about them.

  • Anomalous Human Cognition: a Possible Role Within the Crucible of Intelligence Collection
    ABSTRACT TITLE OF THESIS: Anomalous Human Cognition: A Possible Role within the Crucible of Intelligence Collection STUDENT: Douglas A. Morris, MSSI, 2010 CLASS NUMBER: NDIC 2010 DATE: JULY 2010 THESIS COMMITTEE CHAIR: LTC Terry M. Stahl (U.S. Army – Ret) COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Rebecca L. Frerichs Nearly 15 years have passed since the Central Intelligence Agency’s 1995 public cancellation of the U.S. Remote Viewing (RV) project known as Star Gate. In the interim, significant changes have taken place that present a number of daunting challenges to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s ability to not only accurately discern a target’s capabilities and intentions, but also to defend itself from foreign intelligence operations. Concomitantly, scientific experimentation and theory have appeared to erode – for lack of a better term – a number of the positions taken by Scientific Materialism in its refutation of anomalous human cognition as an existing phenomenon. This thesis seeks to ascertain whether considered reexamination of RV as a useful intelligence collection method is warranted following the disparate developments of the past 15 years.

Remote viewing Stargate Project Remote viewing (RV) is a broad term for a variety of techniques or protocols People employed to produce and control extra-sensory perception (ESP). The term was coined in the early 1970s by principal researchers at SRI International, Ingo Swann Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff, mainly to distinguish the protocols they Hal Puthoff were investigating from older ESP protocols.[1] (Targ & Puthoff 1977, Pat Price Puthoff 1996, Schnabel 1997).

  • The One Mind: C.G. Jung and the Future of Literary Criticism
    THE ONE MIND The One Mind: C. G. Jung and the future of literary criticism explores the implications of C. G. Jung’s unus mundus by applying his writings on the metaphysical, the paranormal, and the quantum to literature. As Jung knew, everything is connected because of its participation in universal consciousness, which encompasses all that is, including the collective unconscious. Matthew A. Fike argues that this principle of unity enables an approach in which psychic functioning is both a subject and a means of discovery—psi phenomena evoke the connections among the physical world, the psyche, and the spiritual realm. Applying the tools of Jungian literary criticism in new ways by expanding their scope and methodology, Fike discusses the works of Hawthorne, Milton, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and lesser-known writers in terms of issues from psychology, parapsychology, and physics. Topics include the case for monism over materialism, altered states of consciousness, types of psychic functioning, UFOs, synchronicity, and space-time relativity. The One Mind examines Goodman Brown’s dream, Ad am’s vision in Paradise Lost, the dream sequence in “The Wanderer,” the role of metaphor in Robert A. Monroe’s metaphysical trilogy, Orfeo Angelucci’s work on UFOs, and the stolen boat episode in Wordsworth’s The Prelude. The book concludes with case studies on Robert Jordan and William Blake. Considered together, these readings bring us a signifi cant step closer to a unity of psychology, science, and spirituality. The One Mind illustrates how Jung’s writings contain the seeds of the future of literary criticism. Reaching beyond archetypal criticism and postmodern theoreti- cal approaches to Jung, Fike proposes a new school of Jungian literary criticism based on the unitary world that underpins the collective unconscious.
