Remote viewing with the artist Ingo Swann: neuropsychological profile, electroencephalographic correlates, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and possible mechanisms.

In the present study, the artist Ingo Swann, who helped develop the process of remote viewing (awareness of distant objects or places without employing normal senses), was exposed during a single setting of 30 min. to specific patterns of circumcerebral magnetic fields that significantly altered his subjective experiences. Several times during subsequent days, he was asked to sit in a quiet chamber and to sketch and to describe verbally distant stimuli (pictures or places) beyond his normal senses. The proportions of unusual 7-Hz spike and slow wave activity over the occipital lobes per trial were moderately correlated (rho=.50) with the ratings of accuracy between these distal, hidden stimuli and his responses. A neuropsychological assessment and Magnetic Resonance Imaging indicated a different structural and functional organization within the parieto-occipital region of the subject's right hemisphere from organizations typically noted. The results suggest that this type of paranormal phenomenon, often dismissed as methodological artifact or accepted as proofs of spiritual existence, is correlated with neurophysiological processes and physical events. Remote viewing may be enhanced by complex experimentally generated magnetic fields designed to interact with the neuromagnetic "binding factor" of consciousness.

Was surprised to see you here. Welcome.

sounds like a scientific report. maybe something to go on in further investigations. . . .

I don't feel comfortable explaining the process I learned to 'make' it happen, but I will say a few things in general.

When 'traveling' I could see the landscape as I was moving, albeit at what seemed like just short of light speed. Meaning, I could barely make out houses and other physical landmarks but was moving so quickly they were barely discernible. Also, I was at times moving through them rather than above them.

I will also say that I could feel something like an electrical current pulsing in my body.. a sound that can only be described as a vibration, just prior to it 'happening.'

this would, to me, suggest an interface, at least, with "scientific" demonstrability. . . . a la. . . . measurements like PG's account reports. . . .

I know "anecdotal" is considered an indictment of sorts, but unless we accept evidence like this, we live in a logically-closed loop:

https://www.facebook.com/Anita.Moorjani

Here is a woman with a story that transcends every "religious" line of belief. . . . says her cancer was healed as a result of a decision, a choice, made while in a coma. The story involves her near-death experience while in a hospital, during which she was able to view her body from above and hear the things being said about her in another room, and to see her brother in India making arrangements to fly to Hong Kong, and know he hoped to get there before she died. . . her condition was considered hopeless and doctors expected her to die within hours.

After 30 hours she opened her eyes and began telling her family where she had been and relating to them how she knew the admitting doctor and what had been said on her arrival. .. . while she was in a coma. She was kept in the hospital under observation while tests were done which proved negative for cancer, though her diagnosis of cancer had been amply documented by tests before she went into her coma, as her cancer diagnosis had been well-established.

Without reading the details (since I'm not on Facebook), I'm just going to point out that being in a coma means that other people can't perceive you reacting, not that you can't perceive them; and that people who make a decision to not succumb to cancer, but die of it, normally don't have their testimonies recorded in this manner.

Thanks. . . . for bringing me into some consideration of the territory.

Probably, One Brow will find all this just too far off his base of empirical science, evidence, and substantial credibility. . . . Gotta love someone who can just stick to his guns about what he's willing to believe, asking for evidence every step of the way. . . .

some of us might look pretty "unhinged". . . . I suppose. . . .

If you can really perform astral projection, I can think of a dozen ways it could be verified objectively. However, I'm not going to tell you what you have and have not experienced.

No one seems particularly unhinged; just normal human stuff.
