  • An Investigation Into the Effect of Human Intention on the Weather
    An Investigation into the Effect of Human Intention on the Weather by Myrna Ray Klupenger Energy Medicine University Sausalito, California USA A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Energy Medicine University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Integrative Holistic Health November 2015 i Abstract Catastrophic weather conditions have increased in recent years, dramatically affecting human emotion and activity. This thesis explores the evidence that human intention may affect the weather. The paper reviews accounts of apparent weather influence by shamans and operators of weather–working devices. To determine how intention might affect weather, the paper reviews scientific research relating to water and weather. The thesis includes two studies. In the first study, five weather-workers were interviewed and six common themes emerged: intention, humility, enthusiasm, confidence in their ability to affect the weather, desire to help others and the environment, and perception of unusual physical sensations when working with the weather. The second study was an attempt to replicate the “Wishing for Good Weather” group consciousness study by Nelson (1997). It compared the average rainfall on the day of an annual parade with five days before and four days following the parade, with inconclusive results. Keywords: weather, climate, intention, group consciousness, water, rainmaker, remote influence, psychokinesis (PK), shaman, medicine man, Rhododendron Festival, Wilhelm Reich. ii Acknowledgements I am grateful for Energy Medicine University, a graduate level university that offers diverse classes on topics such as biophysics, the human biofield, energy healing and psychology, intuition and dreams. The ability to access superb professors through the distance learning model of education has been ideal for me.

  • Blues Music and the Art of Narrative Self-Invention
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Fictional Black Blues Figure: Blues Music and the Art of Narrative Self-Invention A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Kimberly Renee Mack 2015 © Copyright by Kimberly Renee Mack 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Fictional Black Blues Figure: Blues Music and the Art of Narrative Self-Invention by Kimberly Renee Mack Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Richard A Yarborough, Chair My dissertation examines representations of black American blues musicians in contemporary American fiction, drama, and popular music, and it argues that blues music can be examined as a narrative art rooted in the tradition of fictionalized autobiographical self- fashioning. I contend that the contemporary, multi-racial, literary and musical characters in my project who participate in so-called “authentic” blues expression create, sometimes consciously and sometimes unwittingly, a fiction on top of a fiction. This project questions the belief held by many blues scholars, critics, and fans that blues music is a racially essentialized form instead of a narrative tradition made possible through carefully constructed autobiographical and biographical fictions. ii My project makes two important interventions into traditional discussions of blues production and the representations of blues figures in 20th- and 21st-century American literature. First, it destabilizes racial, socio-cultural, temporal, and gendered blues tropes by shifting blues expression from an innate skill to a storytelling art form through which its makers invent themselves. Second, this study allows for a different, interdisciplinary approach to autobiographical and biographical expression.
