Individuals need to experience PSI themselves for personal proof
Ronald Pearson (August, 2003)
Having
been exposed to a scientific training I have been a sceptic for most of
my life. However, efforts I made to resolve a cosmological puzzle led
me to wonder about this. Then my wife spotted an advert for people to
join a circle for psychic development. We joined and I went along
feeling rather foolish since, on balance, I thought all I would be doing
was witnessing some kind of group-generated delusion.
The
very first meeting dissolved this fear. I will just recount one
experience to show why proof needs personal involvement. The proof is
not transmissible to others. After a few months the two organising
mediums, man and wife, brought in a middle-aged lady who stood apart
from our group. We were told the reason for her presence would be
disclosed later, but first we would enter the usual group meditation
procedure. I was unable to relax since I was suffering pain from a crick
in the neck. It was very painful and I could not understand how this
had happened. I was glad when the meditation was over. Then Barbara, the
medium who was the main organiser, brought the circle back to
attention. We were to recount all we had picked up. This week was
disappointing because nobody had much to tell. When it came to my turn I
said, with my neck still giving me jip, that I had seen nothing (as
usual).
Then at the end Barbara asked the visitor to
say why she was here. "I am very disappointed that so little has
emerged", she said, "I was hoping for something from my brother who was
killed last week on his motor bike. He broke his neck". I nearly jumped
out of my seat exclaiming, "My neck pain's gone!" "What neck pain?",
said Victor, the other medium. "I've had a terrible crick in my neck all
evening and it just suddenly vanished when she said her brother's neck
was broken". "You pillock! You said you picked nothing up" "I did not
realise it was psychically induced until now. I thought it was real."
This
constitutes personal proof, but if I recount it to a sceptic and
especially an obscurant, it is no proof to them. The answer will be
something like, "Any fool can make up a story like that", emphasised
with derisive laughter. But I guarantee that anybody who wishes will get
direct personal proof if they really go into this area of physics and
test it for themselves. And now I come to the point of this preamble. It
gave confidence that the mediums were genuine and that psi effects
could not be discarded as fraud or delusion.
Why SETI will never succeed
At
a late stage and at my request, we carried out an experiment to measure
the speed of telepathic thought propagation. I was expecting a finite
value, possibly many times the speed of light. Victor was a trance
medium, something rather special, and his guide was his uncle who had
been a docker in Bristol. He had told us previously that he could be in
several places at the same time and this had given me an idea. If he
could put two of himself at widely separated points, such as one here
and the other on the moon, then we could time an echo. When I said "Go"
and started a stopwatch he could repeat "Go" when the word came back.
The
guide had agreed to this, but said telepathy would take no time. It
would take 2.5 seconds for light to bounce back from the moon but no
time lag was detectable. It was therefore necessary to try the planet
Mars.
Now we come to the interesting bit. The guide
said he knew nothing about astronomy since it had never been of interest
to him. The only way he could help was if we could give him a very
accurate description of what it was like. "I have to visualise it and
think hard and then I will be there." So we tried each planet in turn
and at each the guide gave us a graphic description of what he could see
and experience. Then when I was satisfied we had the right place we did
the test. Each time the echo was immediate until we got to Pluto. Then I
recorded about half a second. But now Vic's voice was changing and it
was clear he was coming out of trance. This last trial had therefore to
be discarded.
About six years later I tried the same
thing with a different medium at a "Mensa at Malvern" conference in
1997. This time we went out to the stars. Again the echo was immediate,
so confirming the previous result. So telepathy takes no time at all!
The
point of all this is that SETI has not returned a single result after
many years of effort and despite $millions in funding. It is never
likely to succeed! If advanced intelligences live on planets orbiting
other stars, they will not be using radio to contact us when a different
channel, offering immediate access, is already available. If they used
radio they would need to wait decades for a reply.
An
instant medium for communication evidently exists and can be used if
only astronomers would accept the reality of the "paranormal". At
present the whole spectrum of scientific disciplines simply refuses to
accept this reality, and instead makes great effort to discredit its
very existence. All that astronomers need do is find a good trance
medium and devise a way of describing a target star to the guide. Then a
close inspection of any planets can be given.
"Survival Physics"
Not
all scientists dispute that the so-called "paranormal" can be real and
some have attempted scientific explanations. Professors Archie Roy and
David Fontana, for example, propose that effects "outside space and
time" cause psi phenomena. This then leaves all science untouched but
makes no effort to explain anything.
One quantum
physicist, who wishes to remain anonymous, has offered more of an
explanation for the survival of consciousness and telepathy inclusive of
mediumship.
Quantum theory applies to the minute
scale of the atom and here everything acts as if controlled by wave
patterns, like the ripples in a pond made when several pebbles are
thrown in. These "wave functions", as they are called, are not real
waves but are more like abstract numbers. He thinks consciousness could
be the quantum wave itself. It interacts with the human nervous system
to create a copy in space. At death, the coupling is gone but quantum
waves are defined across all space and time. They don't go away, they
just continue to change. Further, the illusion of location comes from
the physical. Because the quantum wave exists across all space,
telepathy would be instantaneous. All that matters is the rapport level
of the two individuals communicating
This is more
detailed, but is clearly incomplete. What makes these quantum waves? If
they are all number-like then some intelligence must be organising them
and needs a power source for operation. Quantum theory seemed to suggest
our universe to be a deliberate contrivance by an even deeper level of
reality Furthermore the existing big bang, part of quantum theory, makes
a hopelessly wrong prediction. It arises because theorists can find no
way to switch off the creative explosion they have postulated.
My
own research was aimed at finding how the waves could arise, leaving
quantum theory unaltered, and to solve the big bang problem. A theory
for the immortality of consciousness emerged as a by-product, together
with an explanation for almost the entire spectrum of the paranormal.
This meant that, instead of appearing as a threat to be discredited, it
was paranormal no longer. It could now be regarded as an essential part
of physics. It began by proposing that at a base level of reality minute
particles called "primaries" existed out of which all else was made.
They existed made from two opposite and complementary kinds of energy.
When opposite kinds collided the maths, based on the way we observe
energy to behave, showed them to breed, causing an initial explosive
creation. But then mutual annihilation set in to cancel most of this
creation, though it still continued unabated. This left an
ever-accelerating expansion fitting astronomical observation. The
problem of the big bang theory seemed to have been solved!
The
annihilation process resulted in the formation of a tangled
three-dimensional web of filaments of incredibly fine spacing. This
generated the required power source. It was inferred that the web might
evolve a background consciousness able to create universes out of
itself. It had to do so by generating organised wave patterns.
Our
minds inhabit matter for a short time but then remain as part of the
background intelligence. In this way the organising force could have
arisen from the void without a pre-existing God. If the theory holds up
it promises to give an answer to the conundrum of how such a complicated
existence as our universe could have created itself.
Of
course it cannot be proved that energy behaves the same way at this
ultimate background level as at the level we observe. However, the
theory does show that psi effects cannot be excluded from scientific
explanation.
