The philosophical questions raised by neuroscience. These days, most of us accept that minds are dependent on brain function and wouldn’t object to the claim that “You are your brain.” After all, we’ve known for a long time that brains control how we behave, what we remember, even what we desire. But what does that mean? And is it really true? Despite giving lip service to the importance of brains, in our practical life this knowledge has done little to affect how we view our world. In part, that’s probably because we’ve been largely powerless to affect the way that brains work, at least in a systematic way.
That’s all changing. Neuroscience has been advancing rapidly, and has begun to elucidate the circuits for control of behavior, representation of mental content and so on. As treatments advance, interventions into brain function will dramatically illustrate the dependence of who we are on our brains – and they may put pressure on some basic beliefs and concepts that have been fundamental to how we view the world. 4 - Psychic Skills & Miracles - technology used for telepathy and remote viewing. Stanford Scientists Observe Man Travel Out of His Body and Into Space – What He Saw Was Remarkable. Originally written and posted by Collective -Evolution.com. Posted here with their permission. NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched into space in 1972.
It was the the very first spacecraft to fly directly through the asteroid belt and make observations of the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. It was also able to obtain closeup images of the planet, something that scientists had never had access to before. (1) Prior to the flyby of Jupiter by Pioneer 10, the CIA and NSA, in conjunction with Stanford University, were involved in what was called “Remote Viewing.” A gentlemen by the name of Ingo Swann was able to successfully describe and view a ring around Jupiter, a ring that scientists had no idea existed.
The successful viewing of the ring by Ingo came after scientists observed him identify physical objects in hidden envelopes that were placed a few hundred kilometers away. It’s remarkable to think about these extended human capacities, and what we are capable of. Sources: That settles it: Here’s over a Hundred Peer-Reviewed Journals on Telepathy, PSI and ESP! Often while working on Spirit Science I see a lot of critics that are fond of saying that there is no scientific evidence for any of the things we’re talking about.
In particular, episode 1 of Spirit Science is a discussion about Thoughts and the interconnected field of thought-waves that is constantly moving through us, from person to person, constantly. I’ve seen many wave their fist in the air and shout, “Show me the evidence!”. In less dramatic cases a student might be genuinely curious and open-minded, but unsure where to begin to find reliable evidence about psi & telepathy. Google knows all and sees all, but it doesn’t know how to interpret or evaluate what it knows (at least not yet). In the past, my response to the “show me” challenge has been to encourage the interested party to check out a variety of different sources and subjects.
Whether it’s giving the titles of a few books to read, point to the bibliographies in those books, and advise the person to do their homework. 10 Mind-Bending Implications of the Many Worlds Theory. In quantum physics—the scientific study of the nature of physical reality—there is plenty of room for interpretation within the realm of what is known. The most popular mainstream interpretation, the Copenhagen interpretation, has as one of its central tenets the concept of wave function collapse. That is to say, every event exists as a “wave function” which contains every possible outcome of that event, which “collapses”—distilling into the actual outcome, once it is observed.
For example, if a room is unobserved, anything and everything that could possibly be in that room exists in “quantum superposition”—an indeterminate state, full of every possibility, at least until someone enters the room and observes it, thereby collapsing the wave function and solidifying the reality. The role of the observer has long been a source of contention for those who disagree with the theory. Let’s consider an NFL football game being played. That is exactly what it implies.

Because of its tiny wings and heavy body, aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly. But the bumblebee doesn’t know that, so it flies anyway.” – Mary Kay Ash of Mary Kay Cosmetics According to my Webster’s New World Dictionary, circa 1963; the definition of the word placebo is: a medicine given just to humor a patient. I know what you’re probably thinking, “You need to spring for a new dictionary.” After reading that antiquated interpretation of the word, I would have to agree. Over four decades ago, Webster’s dictionary seemed to also be humoring its readers (right along side most doctors) as it published a definition laced with a hint of mockery.
It’s similar to why our world hasn’t made the switch sooner from petroleum based fuel products, to more eco-friendly, green sources of alternative energy – big business is calling the shots and trying to dictate the trends. The patient absolutely has to believe in the treatment for it to work. Out Of Body Experiences Validated By Scientific Study. Are out-of-body experiences valid? Dr. Crookall at the University of Aberdeen has written 9 books on out-of-body cases due to the overwhelming amount of evidence in their favour.
A survey of 380 Oxford students showed that 34% had an OBE. A separate survey of 902 adults revealed that 8% have had an OBE. A fascinating experiment was done by Dr. He documented the out-of-body experience of a young woman who was one of his research subjects. What makes this particular out-of-body experience remarkable is that she was able to leave her physical body as Dr. As Dr. This is huge, because not only does it show that the experience of leaving your body is correlated with abnormal changes in brain-body activities, the test subject was also able to go and read a 5 digit number. I have had 2 out-of-body experiences myself, one of which I observed real events happening in a different location in my house, so I can personally testify to their validity.
