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. His research report was pub- lished in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, and he pre- sented his findings at annual meetings of the International Society for Political Psychology and the Western Psychological Association as well as a UCLA lecture series. Two of Dr. Kierulff’s articles have been published in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology. I have also interacted with Dr. Kierulff at meetings of a Psychology Interest Group, where he displayed excellent clinical judgment, as evidenced by his comments on case presentations.” —Thomas Greening, editor, Journal of Humanistic Psychology “I greatly respect Stanley Krippner’s work and his courage in pursuing an unorthodox path in the face of so much opposition or indifference on the part of institutional science.” —Rupert Sheldrake, biologist and author “I enjoyed reading Becoming Psychic. I found Stanley Krippner’s re- view of psi experiments to be fascinating, and I found the evidence for psychic phenomena to be convincing. Even if only a little of it is true, then it calls for a significant rethinking of current scientific assumptions, which are by and large atheistic, nihilistic, and fatalistic—all antireligion. It is possible, even necessary, to account for psychic phenomena within a naturalistic frame- work that is compatible with scientific methods and religious meanings.” —Ricky Hoyt, Unitarian Universalist minister “Beautifully written. A delightful read for those interested in the possi- bility that psi is real.” —Edward C. Field, Jr., theoretical physicist “I found myself totally engrossed in Becoming Psychic. I went through the intellectual-atheistic-absurdist stage, and it’s not much fun living in the world of Waiting for Godot. The real joy for me was in finding confirma- tion of some of my own experiences, like when you meet someone and start talking and realize you can TALK about these things and the other person won’t think you’re crazy. Whew! What a relief! Marilyn Ferguson talks about ‘sharing pieces of the puzzle’—that’s what reading Becoming Psychic felt like. That confirmation is significant for those of us struggling to maintain our balance in a world still dominated by the scientific, material- ist paradigm. The argument for a spiritual interpretation of existence is pre- sented articulately, personally, and with a fine sense of humor. I found myself nodding and saying, ‘Yes.’” —Suzanne Burgoyne, educator “While I was dean of the School of Human Behavior, in various clinical psychology courses he has taught for us, Dr. Kierulff received very good evaluations from students. Dr. Kierulff is also a creative thinker and re- searcher. He pursues ideas avidly and researches them thoroughly and with competence. He writes extremely well. His articles have been interesting, lucid, and scientifically sound.” —Robert H. Lauer, author and educator “Stanley Krippner has been the driving force in establishing parapsy- chology as an area of genuine scientific study.” —Robert O. Becker, orthopedic surgeon and author “Stanley Krippner is one of my favorite parapsychologists, combining careful experimental work with the courage to deal publicly with some of the more controversial forms of spontaneous psi.” —David Griffin, author, Parapsychology, Philosophy and Spirituality “Of my professors, Dr. Stephen Kierulff was notable in terms of repre- senting some of the finest teaching I have encountered in more than two decades of schooling. Dr. Kierulff represented the ultimate in interest in his individual students. He went beyond teaching us as a group to asking us to participate in his applied social psychology teachings on an interactive ba- sis. Students role-played many concepts, and, as a result, came to know the concepts, and each other, very well. There was much humanity in his class- room and a real respect for each of us, our differences as well as our communalities.” —Lorraine D. Giaimo “This book assured me that the Universe cares about me. There should be a large audience for Becoming Psychic, especially if they know what they will get if they read it: affirmation that they are part of the whole and that they are loved.” —Judy Sellens, real estate broker “Becoming Psychic is a compelling combination of anecdotal evidence and scholarly research. I found myself still wanting to join in the discussion long after I finished reading the book.” —Margaret Williams, writer and editor “It’s so wonderful to know that I’m not crazy and that these things have happened to other people, too. In this lovely, enjoyable book, Dr. Kierulff— who has led a multifaceted life—candidly tells us what he’s learned, main- taining a wise balance between thoughtful spirituality and worldly savvy. I love this book. The finale is beautiful!” —Anima Ohman, dancer “Becoming Psychic is essential reading, both for the beginner inter- ested in developing latent abilities and also for the adept eager to keep up with the latest scientific findings. Dr. Kierulff’s chatty, user-friendly ap- proach to developing psychic ability is the perfect complement to Dr. Krippner’s lucid explanations of relevant parapsychological research. Brim- ming with intriguing personal experiences and the latest scientific findings, this readable and inspiring volume touches heart, mind, and spirit.” —Carolyn Godschild Miller, author, Creating Miracles: Understanding the Experience of Divine Intervention “Becoming Psychic is an excellent work! Great style of expression. Great introduction. Good motivational mottos. Great dialogue. Excellent de- scriptions. Good structure. Powerful conclusion.” —Bakhtiyor “Brandon” Kudratov, accountant, film industry “Dr. Kierulff is skilled as a writer and has led an interesting life. Be- coming Psychic reads like an autobiography, with theoretical and didactic information by Dr. Krippner integrating the experience. I enjoyed it.” —Suzanne R.

  • Unity Consciousness: a Quantum Biomechanical Foundation
    Theoretical UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS: A QUANTUM BIOMECHANICAL FOUNDATION Thomas E. Beck, Ph.D. & Janet E. Colli, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Citing research in consciousness, quantum physics, biophysics and cosmology, we propose the collective amplification of quantum effects as the basis for scientifically describing Kundalini awakening, and the higher-order, emergent phenomenon of Unity consciousness, Such alterations of consciousness have their origin in quantum-scale processes, such as self-induced transparency, superradiance, superpositions, quantum tunneling, and Bose-Einstein condensa­ tion, Microtubules are considered to be key components in non-local, quantum processes critical to human consciousness, We postulate that bundles of fibers (neural cells), each containing numerous microtubule "lasers" acting in unison, collectively result in a massive surge of light energy to the brain, The sudden onset and radically altered nature of such states are consis­ tent with a model based on the activation of a laser. The liquid crystalline nature of the human body likely provides a foundation for the non-local aspect ofVniry consciousness, The unifYing paradigm of the "quantum hologram" is introduced ro apply quantum properties to macroscopic events, KEYWORDS: Uniry consciousness, kundalini, microtubules, non-local communication, Bose-Einstein condensate, liquid crystals, dark matter, zero-point energy Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine • Volume 14 • Number 3 • Page 267 INTRODUCTION he history of humanity has been irreversibly altered by a relative few individuals who have attained the highest state of consciousness known T to humankind: Unity consciousness, described as a merging with the Oneness of all Creation. The historical figures of Buddha ("the illumined one"), Jesus Christ, and the contemporary spiritual leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, exemplity those who have contributed to uplifting consciousness through their enlightenment.

  • On the Relation Between a Zero-Point-Field-Induced Inertial
    On the relation between a zero-point-field-induced inertial effect and the Einstein-de Broglie formula Bernard Haisch∗ Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, Dept. H1-12, Bldg. 252, Lockheed Martin 3251 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California 94304 [email protected] Alfonso Rueda Department of Electrical Engineering & Department of Physics, ECS Building California State University, 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, California 90840 [email protected] (Physics Letters A, Vol. 268, pp. 224–227, 2000) Abstract It has been proposed that the scattering of electromagnetic zero-point radiation by accelerating objects results in a reaction force that may account, at least in part, for inertia [1,2,3]. This arises because of asymmetries in the electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) or electromagnetic quantum vacuum as perceived from an accelerating reference frame. In such a frame, the Poynting vector and momentum flux of the ZPF become non-zero. If one assumes that scattering of the ZPF radiation takes place at the level of quarks and arXiv:gr-qc/9906084v3 12 May 2000 electrons constituting matter, then it is possible for both Newton’s equation of motion, f = ma, and its relativistic covariant generalization, F = dP/dτ, to be obtained as a consequence of the non-zero ZPF momentum flux. We now conjecture that this scattering must take place at the Compton frequency of a particle, and that this interpretation of mass leads directly to the de Broglie relation characterizing the wave nature of that particle in motion, λB = h/p. This suggests a perspective on a connection between electrodynamics and the quantum wave nature of matter.

  • Inertial Mass and the Quantum Vacuum Fields
    Inertial mass and the quantum vacuum fields Bernard Haisch Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, Dept. H1-12, Bldg. 252 Lockheed Martin, 3251 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California 94304 and California Institute for Physics and Astrophysics, 366 Cambridge Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94306 [email protected] Alfonso Rueda Department of Electrical Engineering, ECS Building California State University, 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, California 90840 [email protected] York Dobyns C-131 Engineering Quad, Princeton Univ., Princeton, NJ 08544-5263 [email protected] (Annalen der Physik — Received: 2 June 2000, accepted 12 September 2000) Abstract — Even when the Higgs particle is finally detected, it will continue to be a legitimate question to ask whether the inertia of matter as a reaction force opposing acceleration is an intrinsic or extrinsic property of matter. General relativity specifies which geodesic path a free particle will follow, but geometrodynamics has no mechanism for generating a reaction force for deviation from geodesic motion. We discuss a different approach involving the electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) of the quantum vacuum. It has been found that certain asymmetries arise in the ZPF as perceived from an accelerating reference frame. In such a frame the Poynting vector and momentum flux of the ZPF become non-zero. Scattering of this quantum radiation by the quarks and electrons in matter can result in an acceleration-dependent reaction force. Both the ordinary and the relativistic forms of Newton’s second law, the equation of motion, can be derived from the electrodynamics of such ZPF-particle interactions. Conjectural arguments are given why this interaction should take place in a resonance at the Compton frequency, and how this could simultaneously provide a physical basis for the de Broglie wavelength of a moving particle.

  • A Retrospective on the Journal of Scientific Exploration
    Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 18, No. 1, pp. 15–25, 2004 0892-3310/04 A Retrospective on the Journal of Scientific Exploration BERNARD HAISCH AND MARSHA SIMS ManyOne Network 100 Enterprise Way, Suite G-370 Scotts Valley, CA 95066 e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers... Bernard Haisch Abstract—The development and progress of the Journal of Scientific Exploration are described from its initiation to its growth to four issues per year with a circulation that at one stage exceeded 2000. The initial publisher, Pergamon Press, had soon withdrawn, whereupon Haisch and Sims took over all publishing responsibilities, engaging Allen Press as printer and distributor. The Journal founded a Web-site that was also the Society’s only presence on the Web, at a time when few scientific societies had their own Web-sites. Several summer research visits to Germany by the editors also led to the organizing of the first European meeting of the Society. Keywords: JSE—JSE history—SSE history—Journal history—Society history In a brief history of the Society of Scientific Exploration (SSE) published in the very first issue of the Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE), Society President Peter Sturrock wrote: In 1981, a number of scientists and other scholars in the United States came to the conclusion that there was a need for a new initiative in scientific research. They could identify a number of phenomena that, for various reasons, were not being studied by the scientific community, but were potentially interesting and even important.

  • On Bernard Haisch's God Theory
    Scientific GOD Journal | May 2013 | Volume 4 | Issue 4| pp. 353-359 353 Pitkanen, M., On Bernard Haisch’s God Theory Essay On Bernard Haisch’s God Theory Matti Pitkanen* Abstract Haisch lists three questions usually regarded as highly non-scientific: Is there really a God? What am I? What is my destiny? As I started to build theory of consciousness, these questions began to make more and more sense also to me. I agree in many respects with Haisch's vision about possibility to build bridge between fundamental physics and spirituality. Where I disagree with Haisch is the notion of ZPE. In TGD all that can be done using ZPE can be replaced with zero energy ontology (ZEO) to achieve the possibility of re-creation without breaking of conservation laws: without ability to generate new sub-Universes God would be rather powerless. Key Words: God Theory, ZPE, TGD, zero energy ontology, Bernard Haisch. Bernard Haisch wrote a book entitled "The God theory". Haisch himself is an astrophysicist who might have become a priest. The book discusses the possibility of spirituality consistent with physics. It also discusses Zero Point Energy (ZPE) hypothesis and the idea that inertia might emerge from vacuum fluctuations of various fields. I agree in many respects with Haisch's vision about possibility to build bridge between fundamental physics and spirituality. The new view about spirituality requires that a lot of horrendous stuff of religions (such as eternal purgatory, the sadistic God of Old Testament killing his own son, blind belief in dogmas, etc...) is thrown away.

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.

In principle these constants could have taken on values wildly different from what they actually are, but instead they are in some cases within a few percent of the Zero-Point Fileds right" values permitting us to exist in this universe. As Sir Martin Rees, the British Astronomer Royal and one of the world's foremost cosmologists writes in his and Whats Behind It All read Just Six Numbers: "Our emergence and survival depend on very special 'tuning' of the cosmos -- a cosmos that may be vaster than the universe that we can actually see. Science today is The God Theory: Universes on the premises of materialism, reductionism, and randomness. Materialism is the belief that reality consists solely of matter and energy, the things that can be measured in the laboratory or observed by a telescope. Everything else is illusion or The God Theory: Universes. Reductionism is the belief that complex things can be explained by examining the constituent pieces, such as the illusion of consciousness arising from elementary chemical processes in the brain. Randomness is the conviction that natural processes follow the laws of chance within their allowed range of behavior.
