'Scientific Materialism versus Apparent Vagueness of Mind
Format'
George E Moss - from the SALUMET group.
There is a progressing conflict
that desperately requires clarification. This follows a
most interesting article in Network Review
by Dr Larry Dossey concerning the paper entitled “Feeling
the Future: Experimental Evidence for Anomalous Retroactive
Influences on Cognition and Affect” by Dr Daryl J
Bem of Cornell University, published in “Journal of
Personality and Social Psychology”.
Needless to say, that original paper I also found most interesting,
albeit it seems to have taken some readers by surprise.
And the paragraph of Larry Dossey’s article that really
fired my interest includes words attributed to Douglas Hofstadter
of Indiana University:
“If any of [Bem’s]
claims were true, then all of the bases underlying contemporary
science would be toppled, and we would have to rethink everything
about the nature of the universe....opening the floodgates
to frequent publication of crackpot ideas in top-notch journals
[to] spell the end of science as we know it”. My own
study and experiences concerning consciousness within the
universe firmly indicate that it is indeed a time to topple,
and this toppling should also “spell the end of science
as we know it”. I will endeavour to demonstrate that
this is no rash statement; bearing in mind that contemporary
science fails to recognise a vast reality that exists, exterior
to space-time and beyond the reach of standard laboratory
methodology.
Before pursuing various observed
facts that require explanation or pointing to any applicable
evidence, it should aid our clear thinking to consider the
universe as consisting of two major components:
1. The space-time creation comprising the various particles
that exhibit mass, electric fields, gravity, light etc.
Space-time has its familiar rule book, embracing the time-honoured
mass-energy equivalence E = mc2 and a rigidly imposed speed
restriction—nothing travels faster than light. Humans
and all life molecules are of course clearly part of this
structured material world—that includes our brain
cells.
2. Energetic void or that less tangible part of this universe
that is not subject to the above space-time rules. Meaningful
names have been assigned to aspects of this void by those
few who have seriously pondered its nature. It is the ‘Aether’
of Sir James Jeans, sometimes called ‘Creative Vacuum’;
more recently ‘Zero Point Field’, A-field, ?-field
or ‘Quantum Vacuum’. Many non-scientists use
the term ‘Spirit’, and ‘Akasha’
is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Aether’. This seemingly
paradoxical component of our universe permeates all known
existence but cannot be considered as part of space-time
per se, since space-time rules do not apply here.
It should also be stated at the outset that I am not an
erudite scholarly university professor. Before retirement,
my UK consultancy, ‘Commercial & Forensic Laboratories’
provided a scientific service to industry and to lawyers—forensic
casework ranged from road accidents to terrorist bombing
trials. It follows that my work experience has a pronounced
practical, rather than academic, bias. I would suggest however,
that practical considerations are paramount in resolving
this dubiety. Theories that ignore or fail to explain observed
phenomena are of no value, and will obviously fall short
of any accurate description for mind and consciousness.
Referring to Bem’s two-curtain-experiment—one
concealing an erotic photo, the other a blank wall—53.1%
(statistically higher than an expected 50.0%) managed to
pick the curtain with the photo. BUT the photo was placed
there after the selection had been made. So there are two
issues that require explanation:
1. Why should some participants know the photo position
without being able to see?
2. How could they predict the future placement of the photo
into that position?
The key to answering both questions lies in the fact that
‘mind’ is of the void and merely connects with
physical brain. A minority of minds, in the conditions of
Bem’s experiment, will reach sufficiently into the
void to sense both its ‘knowing’ and its ‘timeless’
qualities. This non-material information from the timeless
void would then be conveyed to brain. The majority participating
in the experiment make no significant contact with void
and come up with an ordinary 50 / 50 material-world guess.
The 53.1% bias of Bem’s result is just the sort of
value that I would expect, from considering my own work—this
to be described in due process.
We have to accept that the void
is the domain of mind—it also contains much else but
its format excludes time and space. It may be helpful to
compare ‘brain and mind’ to ‘computer
and Internet’. The two are connected. The computer
is of fixed position within biosphere while the ever changing
Internet extends everywhere; and a computer has the ability
to download selected Google-searched information. This analogy
could be taken further to include the workings of séance
groups. A meditating group of people, who have good intent,
are deliberately opening their computer-brains to information
sources within void—in protected mode (examples of
unprotected mode might involve drugs or Ouija board). As
with computers, unprotected mode is not to be recommended!
But just as computers logged onto Internet can download
and record enormous amounts of valuable data, so can a dedicated
mixed-ability séance group do precisely that.
Séance Experiment in Downloading
from Void: What is now described is selected data from an
experiment conducted by dedicated participants and spread
across a period of 17-years. All exchanges / transmissions
have been recorded and transcribed. During the last decade
three digital recorders have been used to be absolutely
certain of catching every word with good clarity. I should
not really be referring to this as an experiment—it
has been a dedication and a way of life!
But, as presented, the project has the qualities and virtues
so often looked for in the carefully conducted experiment,
and it has provided answers to otherwise baffling or even
as yet un-thought-of questions. In describing the participating
group it will suffice to say: it includes an interacting
mixture of mediums, scientists and two with strongly clairvoyant
abilities—and of course other highly significant entities,
not of this Earthly plane. If all data were presented a
library shelf would be filled. Only selected items that
seem especially relevant to the workings of mind and consciousness
will be reported here:
1. The Full-trance condition: The entity known as ‘Salumet’
is of all-knowledge—a Guide and Teacher from Angelic
Realms. Eileen Roper, his medium, ALWAYS slips into full-trance
when this one visits. This means that her mind / consciousness
is displaced or placed to one side, by Salumet, who then
takes over her brain function to deliver speech and to control
arm movements (also, should there be a throat-tickling cough,
he will first apologise and then fix it). Eileen’s
larynx is used in such a way as to yield a markedly different
voice, of male genre richly imbued with love and compassion.
This full-trance medium knows / recalls nothing of what
transpires during a session; so that we are in the habit
of briefly bringing her up to date later, when her consciousness
has been ‘brought back’ which may take several
minutes. Eventually she can listen to audio when a disc
has been prepared. Salumet’s teaching and answers
to questions may sometimes occupy as much as one full hour.
There have thus far been 520 such occasions spread across
17-years, during which period we have used three different
venues—in the scientific parlance, a very well replicated
experiment!
2. All-knowledge within Void and its Access: Entities such
as Salumet have full knowledge of that which is sometimes
referred to as ‘Akashic Record’. And Salumet’s
all-knowledge capability has been very well tested by many
questions spread across 17-years—his awareness is
astounding. Topics covered have included such diverse items
as: Nazca Plateau markings, DNA upgrading, nuclear proliferation,
Saint Columba’s journey to Iona – AD 563, The
Siberian ‘Tunguska Event’, EVP (electronic voice
phenomena), spontaneous combustion, multiple universes,
government secrecies, RNGs (random number generators) and
collective consciousness, craniosacral therapy, crop circles,
The Great Pyramid – its construction and purpose,
extraterrestrial beings etc. Much has been learned and our
website1 fairly bulges with so many enlightenments.
3. Partial Trance Mediums: Our all-knowing guide has also
been able to present, via mediums in partial trance, notaries
from Earthly history to account their experiences first
hand. Partial trance status usually means that the visitor’s
own voice character (not that of the medium) prevails while
the medium has awareness of what is being articulated by
his / her speech mechanism; and there may also be impressions
of the speaker’s feelings and appearance. The medium’s
brain retains awareness without being in control. Memorable
visits have included discourse from: Catherine the Great
– Empress of All the Russias (1762-96), Mary Queen
of Scots (1542-87), Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965), Emma
Hardinge-Britten (1823-99), Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925),
a spokesman for a South American pre-Inca tribe who took
great delight in physically articulating his now extinct
language to be recorded for posterity, Leslie Bone (our
group founder)—and many others. A part of the principle
that is involved here is not unknown to leading scientists
and reference has been published referring to quantum vacuum
substructure:
“....the ?-field constitutes a selectively accessible
extrasomatic memory bank. Rather than in the physical confines
of the brain, it is in this extended memory bank that a
lifetime’s experiences are stored, and it is from
here that they can be selectively retrieved.” The
Creative Cosmos ... Ervin Laszlo 19932
The author refers to the selection of extrasomatic memories
of a living individual. But, nevertheless, the principle
of lifetime-memory-location within a ?-field substructure
of quantum vacuum (and not within brain) is clearly put.
It is a further step to consider the selection of ongoing
living beings from this complex domain. It is our experience
that such selections can be made by Salumet or by other
guides, and not by the entranced medium.
4. Partial Trance and Extragalactic Connections: Again,
it has been our guide who has arranged for mind-link communications
with a physical being known to us as ‘Bonniol’,
who lives on a planet in a far galaxy. Bonniol is supported
by a meditating group of around 60 individuals, who all
share awareness of what transpires. Their planet is both
technologically and spiritually, more advanced than Earth.
There have been thus far 73 communications spread over seven
years, via a partial trance medium. Valuable points regarding
modus operandi have been observed and discussed with both
our guide and Bonniol. Mind-link communication across the
universe is a truly wondrous phenomenon and has been characterised
by:
1. The exchanges are virtually instantaneous without significant
pauses. This really endorses the fact that the void is without
space or time and cannot be regarded as part of space-time.
2. There is no language barrier. It is the thought—thought
behind the words—that passes from one to the other.
Brain acts as a computer to download the thought of another
to its known language.
3. Minds can link at any physical distance—even beyond
the observable universe. The physical distance exists but
is simply irrelevant in mind-link communication.
4. Meditational mind-link is the favoured mode of communicating
used by advanced physical beings inhabiting this universe—because
it is instantaneous and obviates language problem.
The instantaneity of processes reaching across universal
distance is not unknown to scientific literature:
“....through torsion waves in the vacuum the A-field
links things and events in the universe at staggering speeds—a
billion times the velocity of light....The rediscovery of
the A-field will also change our world itself. When people
realise that the age-old intuition that space does not separate
things but links them has a bona fide explanation, the genius
for innovation inherent in modern civilisation will find
practical ways to make use of it.”
Science and the Akashic Field ... Ervin Laszlo (2004)3
Clearly, other more advanced civilisations inhabiting this
universe do indeed make practical use of the A-field for
their communicating. And it is our understanding that Bonniol’s
planet—Planet Aerah—enjoys such communication
with ten others. And the work that has since followed the
EPR experiment proposed by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolski
and Nathan Rosen in 1935, endorses the reality of virtual
instantaneity of processes.
5. Clairvoyance Transmission: There is much more to extragalactic
mind-link than virtually instantaneous download of thought
to brain’s known language. During some Bonniol communications,
our two team members who have pronounced clairvoyant abilities
received visual scenes of Planet Aerah. They experienced
the same pictures simultaneously and were able to discuss
the details between themselves during session! On another
occasion our ET-friend appeared to be accompanied by a party
of friends from another world—Planet Crogaria. We
all communicated, and the Crogarians said that they had
visited—teleported—to Earth in earlier times—Nevada
Desert region. Clairvoyant Jan could actually ‘see’
the visitors quite clearly. Proof?—Well yes! In this
instance I can offer forensic-science-style evidence for
Jan’s clairvoyance.
At the close of session I asked
her to sketch the beings—slender, two legs and two
arms with three-fingered hands, and heads with extra wide
extensions in the position of ears, described as sensory
lobes. Next day while transcribing, the Nevada Desert again
came to mind, and I vaguely recalled something about rock
drawings and checked the Internet. The Atlatl Rock Petro-glyphs
depict beings with wide heads and three-fingered hands,
the same as Jan’s contemporaneous sketch! On showing
Jan the downloaded photo the following week, she was utterly
astonished at the resemblance, and all present were witness
to that astonishment. There is more—the Crogarians
had also revealed to Jan during session, their curious birth
process involving pods growing on stems and tadpole-like
shapes with zigzag umbilical cords. This ‘nursery
scene’ was all there in the rock drawing photo—a
record thought to be Anasazi art dating from around AD 500.
At the top of the rock picture is an atlatl or spear thrower—hence
the name ‘Atlatl Rock’.
Much data of the above sections 1-5 has been published in
book form4, 5. It is furthermore understood that the more
advanced civilisations of this universe are able to teleport
objects between planets—although attempts to demonstrate
this, involving our combined energies, have as yet been
unsuccessful. We also understand mind-power creation to
have replaced some modes of manufacturing industry. And
there have been wise words concerning the continued advance
of science and technology: Advances MUST go hand-in-hand
with mind /spirit development, or be short lived [The 20th-century
misdemeanours brought us so close to nuclear catastrophe
and there remain still many missiles to be decommissioned!]
There is clearly much yet to be
discovered concerning the mysterious void—aether—?-field—spirit—mind.
The EVP explorations, RNG interactions and GCP linked RNG
experimentation, whilst highly commendable, merely scratch
the surface. And considerable funding from governments has
been poured with some enthusiasm into SRV (scientific remote
viewing) development. Perhaps we should accept that the
fuller understanding of mind and consciousness cannot come
from using the laboratory hardware of yesteryear, but must
involve practical meditational mind work. Some will doubtless
see this as a voyage into spirit domain and must therefore
be considered unscientific. But the results of Bem’s
experiment I think prod us firmly in this direction. Should,
however, the 17-year project outlined above, be seen by
some as no more than a ‘crackpot idea’, then
perhaps it would be fitting to conclude with a verse from
Omar Kayy?m’s Rub?iy?t:
And, strange to tell, among that
Earthen Lot
Some could articulate, while others not:
And suddenly one more impatient cried—
“Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot?”
