Chapter 7 in: Mind at Large: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Symposia on the Nature of Extrasensory Perception. Edited by Charles T. Tart, Harold E. Puthoff, and Russell Targ. New York: Praeger Publishers, 1979: 175-187, 13 pages (BF 1021).
  Information is a two faced medal: cognitive awareness (a gain in knowledge - entropy increasing) on one side, volitive awareness (the power of organization - entropy decreasing) on the other. Thus information is the hinge around which mind and matter interact. Given this understanding, relativistic quantum mechanics is a conceptual scheme where PSI phenomena are very rational.

  Summarizes an information processing approach to ESP and PK. Individual processing capacity is related to basic computer control decisions which must designate how much capacity to devote to a task and accordingly how much capacity i s "free". PK and ESP are two different cognitive processes with different predictions for capacity allocation and the effect of arousal on performance.

___. Exposition. Chapter 1 in: Ibid.: 005-011, 7 pages.
  The discoveries of modern physics have brought about a significant change in our scientific picture of the world. They have shattered the absolute validity of natural law and made it relative. Natural laws are statistical truths, which means that they are completely valid only for macrophysical quantities. Very small quantities no longer behave in accordance with the known natural laws.
___. Forerunners of the Idea of Synchronicity. Chapter 3 in: Ibid.: 069-088, 20 pages.
  The causality principle asserts that the connection between cause and effect is necessary. The synchronicity principle asserts that the terms of a meaningful coincidence are connected by simultaneity and meaning. If we assume that ESP observations are established facts, we must conclude that besides the connection between cause and effect there is another factor in nature which expresses itself in the arrangement of events and appears to us as meaning.
___. Conclusion. Chapter 4 in: Ibid.: 089-103, 15 pages.
  Space, time, and causality, the triad of classical physics, is supplemented by the synchronicity factor and becomes a tetrad which makes a whole judgment possible. Synchronicity is to the three other principles as the one dimensionality of time is to the three dimensionality of space. The idea of synchronicity produces a picture of the world so irrepresentable as to be completely baffling.
___. On Synchronicity. Appendix in: Ibid.: 104-115, 12 pages.
  Synchronistic phenomena prove the simultaneous occurrence of meaningful equivalences in heterogeneous, causally unrelated processes. They prove that a content perceived by an observer can, at the same time, be represented by an outside event, without any causal connection. It follows that either the psyche cannot be localized in space, or that space is relative to the psyche.

  Presents a comparison of sensory and clairvoyant realities. In the latter (1) objects and events are part of a pattern, (2) information is known through the knower, (3) time is without divisions, (4) what is, is, (5) free will does not exist, (6) perception cannot be focused, (7) space cannot prevent energy exchange, and (8) time cannot prevent energy exchange .

___. When is Reality "Real"? Chapter 5 in: Ibid.: 043-053, 11 pages.
  Arguments between science and religion are fruitless. Science asks "how?" and religion asks "why?" The differences in these two ways of knowing include the fact that science rests its case on quantity and religion on quality. Science is the best way to establish an understanding that results in prediction and control. But it is not adaptable to problems of the relationship of man to the universe.
___. Do We Already Know Ho w to Shift Realities? Chapter 7 in: Ibid.: 059-069, 11 pages.
  From time to time we are able to so shift our reality that we behave quite differently and accomplish our goals in quite a different manner from our ordinary reality. The esoteric schools that have studied these shifts generally agree on what the shift is, how the world looks after the shift, how to learn to make the shift, and what effect being at home in both realities has on the person.
___. The General Classes of Realities. Chapter 8 in: Ibid.: 070-098, 29 pages.
  Four modes of being or ways of inventing - discovering reality are necessary for the fullest development of human beings: sensory (defining differences, similarities, and relationships between things), clairvoyant (experiencing the unity of the cosmos), transpsychic (objects and events are seen as separate but flowing into a larger one), mythic (lead to new combinations and new possibilities).


Mishlove, Jeffrey. Psi Development Systems. Chapter 5 in: PSI Development Systems. New York: Ballantine Books, 1983: 266-343, 78 pages (BF 1321).
  Thirty-five characteristics such as System Objectives and Performance Measures are used to evaluate twenty-six approaches to psi development. Typical approaches are Shamanism, Divination, and Yoga. Many of these approaches can also be used for developing access to an individual's intuitive resources. The chapter concludes with the introduction of a new disciplinary matrix for psi within parapsychology, a discussion of psi development systems and humanistic psychology, and the future of psi development systems.

  Cognition (Mystical knowledge, Scientific, artistic, and philosophic inspiration). Cognition refers to various ways of knowing from analysis and reasoning to mystical illumination. The focus here is on mystical insight or unitive knowledge and the supreme intellection evident in certain inspired works which is typically accompanied by a sense of received knowledge beyond one's normal capacities.
___. The Evolution of Consciousness. From Chapter 7 in Part 1 Possibilities for Extraordinary Life: Ibid.: 186-188, 2 pages.
  During the last 200 years, the idea that consciousness has advanced has been developed by several philosophers. Aurobindo recognized several levels: 1) higher mind - synoptic thought, 2) illumined mind - mystical inspiration, 3) intuitive mind - religious genius, and 4) supermind - not yet embodied on this planet. Consciousness is far more fluid and complex than most Western philosophers realize.
___. Integral Practices. Chapter 26 in Part 3 Transformative Practices in: Ibid.: 571-573, 2 pages.
  Transformative practice develops cognition by bringing new material into purview or by strengthening its various processes. Six types of practice are briefly noted for the development of cognition: resolving psychological conflicts, recall of repressed imagery, reduction of inhibition, strengthening concentration, exercising unfamiliar types of knowing, and integration of thought.

Roberts, Jane. How to Use a Ouija Talking Board Set. Chapter 1 in: How to Develop Your ESP Power. New York: Frederick Fell Publishers, 1980: 011-027, 17 pages (BF 1321).
  The Ouija board is a method of communicating with the personal subconscious. This part of us knows more about us than we do. When the conscious I is relaxed, the subconscious can express itself through muscular motions as in doodling. The author believes these same muscular motions move the pointer of the Ouija board. The subconscious is the origin of mankind's finest intuitions.
___. Using the Ouija Talking Board as a Stepping Stone. Chapter 2 in: Ibid.: 028-043, 16 pages.
  Experience with the Ouija board helps loosen the tight fitting ego. It helps relax the personal subconscious. Intuitions and impulses to which you have not listened in the past will make themselves known. You will discover that the subconscious does not end with your own personal memories. There is no boundary to the human personality or to your own awareness.

  Seth material excerpt: Nor is man alone in maintaining the physical universe, in giving it continuity as he projects his own physical image. As this physical image is the result of his own psychic climate, as it faithfully reflects his own joys and illness in the physical image, so do all living things construct their own images and help maintain the physical properties of your universe.
___. ESP Investigations in General. Chapter 1 5 in: Ibid.: 246-263, 18 pages.
  Seth material excerpt: The human personality has no limitations except those which it accepts. There are no limits to its growth, if it will accept no limits. There are no boundaries to the self except those which the self arbitrarily creates and perpetuates. There is no veil through which human perception cannot see, except the veil of ignorance which is pulled down by the materialistic ego.

  Two experiments were conducted to measure the extent to which people are able to unconsciously detect another person staring at them from a distance. During the sessions, the Observee's galvanic skin response was monitored. As predicted, both experiments yielded significantly more autonomic activity during the remote observation periods compared to control periods.

  A computerized precognition test, Psychic Reward, was developed as a test of success potential. The hypothesis that future oriented people will have a significantly greater number of significant precognition scores than past oriented people was confirmed. Overall, subjects showed a significant number of significant scores. Attitude toward the future extremes showed a significant difference. Our data tentatively suggest that future oriented people are significantly better at predicting the future than those who are past oriented.


Vaughan, Alan, and Houck, Jack. Software for Training Anomalous Cognition: A Preliminary Report. Subtle Energies. 2 (2): 029-053, 25 pages (BF 1021).
  The role of intuition in fields as widely divergent as science, business, and the arts has a long anecdotal history. However research into the potential for training this ability is not extensive. This report gives background on anomalous cognition (AC) training devices, and describes a preliminary study involving software designed to enhance decision making by training anomalous cognition.


von Franz, Marie-Louise. Lecture 2. In: On Divination and Synchronicity: The Psychology of Meaningful Chance. Toronto, Canada: Inner City Books, 1980: 028-050, 23 pages (BF 1175).
  What is the difference between a physical scientific experiment and a divination oracle? An experiment eliminates chance, an oracle makes chance the center; an experiment is based on repetition, an oracle is based on one unique act; an experiment is based on a probability calculus and an oracle uses the unique, individual number as a source of information.
___. Lecture 3. In: Ibid.: 05 1-073, 23 pages.
  An oracle should only be used when there is a burning question. Big inner tensions generally occur when an archetype is constellated. That is the moment for an oracle because it is most likely to function and give an answer which makes sense. Archetypes can be thought of as structures that condition certain psychological probabilities. The oracle is an attempt to get at these structures.
