This movie, starring physicist Russell Targ, one of the principal researchers behind CIA’s Remote Viewing program (Stargate Project) at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) that began in the 1970es with the goal of testing if psychics could be used for spying. Third Eye Spies runs for almost 2 hours and packed with interesting historical information from and about the people who were involved in this research.

Some of the other people who went through the program included physicist Hal Puthoff and remote viewers Ingo Swann, Pat Price, Joseph McMoneagle and others.

Highly recommended to anyone even remotely interested in Remote Viewing. Click the image below to head over to the official site for more information about the movie.

The problem of geopathogenic zones

Many years ago I wrote here about Geopathogenic zones (also called geopathic zones or Ley lines). Somavedic medic devices are here to help.

These harmful zones are small areas that can negatively affect people’s health if a person stays in them for prolonged periods of time (such as the bed or /the workplace).

How to negate geopathogenic zones

I was also looking for solutions to negate their harmful effects, if possible. There aren’t many available. Some or all of the products that I had tried don’t exist anymore.

Recently I was sent a review unit of a new product (for me), from a series of products called Somavedic. Specifically, I was sent the Somavedic Medic Uran. What struck me interesting about it is that it comes with a list of tests and certificates that demonstrate an effect on the environment. I will link to them below.

Somavedic Medic Uran review

The Somavedic series of products all look similar but claim different levels or areas of effects. These devices are “based on 15 years of experience in the field of alternative medicine – Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, …and related areas, and of course based on scientific knowledge in the field of frequency therapy – effects of specific ‘vibrations’ on the environment and the human body.”

The devices contain semi-precious and precious stones in a specific configuration that creates the desired effects of the devices. They need to be connected to electricity but use very little of it (less than 1kWh per month).

The Medic Uran is a beautiful green-coloured device about 20cm in diameter. When connected, the blue LEDs inside glow and it creates a nice ambient light that looks beautiful in a room.

It was pretty impossible for me to test the functionality of the device since I’m not sensitive to the effects of electrosmog – electromagnetic radiation in the homes from cellular, WiFi etc. I also didn’t have the device long enough to test some of its effects, since the claim of the product is that some beneficial aspects (including an effect on geopathogenic zones) may take up to 3 months to get into full effect.

Scientific tests of Somavedic devices

Their website lists a lot of positive reviews and I have copies of some of the reports to download. Some were done by measuring heart rates (Download PDF 2MB) or blood samples (Download PDF 500KB) on groups of people who have used the device and who did not.

Other tests were performed by measuring the effect of the device on magnetic fields near it (Download PDF 500KB). The Uran (as well as the more focused device, Somavedic Atlantic, should positively affect water structure, which should have positive health effects (Download PDF 2MB). There have been studies linking the effects of consciousness on water.

Many of the photos show ectoplasm (called “externalized teleplasms” in the news segment).

What I found interesting by looking at the ectoplasm photos in the embedded video, is that it appears like 2 of the photos have small faces of people as part of the ectoplasm. I knew that ectoplasm was sometimes described as being used to materialize the discarnate persons but I never heard of only a small part of it being used for creating a face. Of course, I could be seeing wrong, and in any case, we don’t know how it changed over time, which would’ve been even more interesting to see.

Arthur Conan Doyle in Winnipeg

Researching more on the topic, I found this other article from Manitoba Historical Society describes the visit of Arthur Conan Doyle to Winnipeg in 1923, during which he gave lectures on spiritualism and attended the above-mentioned séance circle. That article includes photographs both of Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton and of the ectoplasm with the “images” of people in it. The article claims that these are absolutely fake. It’s a pretty interesting article, go read it.

Luckily, it seems that at least in China, the research of topics in parapsychology is increasing, and becomes more open. The fantastic site Psi Encyclopedia has an article from last year published by “Professor Yi-Fang Chang, a physicist and experimental parapsychologist at China’s Yumman University.” exactly about this topic: Psi Research in China.

I suggest you read the whole article, as it’s written well and has a lot of information, but here are some quotes from the article that are the highlights, as far as my interests go.

The physicist Leping Zha introduced the systematic study of psi in the People’s Republic of China in the late 1970s. In China, psychokinesis is included in the ‘somatic sciences’ that study exceptional functions of the human body such as qigong. Leping Zha’s historical account of the three phases of China’s modern somatic sciences between 1979-2001 includes reviews of hundreds of claimed successful experiments across the parapsychology spectrum.

The Institute of Somatic Science of Yumman University was founded in 1980, where successful experiments have included the advancing and retarding of a clock by means of mental intention in the absence of any known physical force.

“Professors Deying Chu and Shao Linxiang, biochemists at Beijing University and Zhejiang Normal University respectively, investigated the effects of EQQ (External Qi of Qigong), finding that directed EQQ could kill cultured cancer cells in vitro and inhibit in vivo tumor growth, also that it could relieve symptoms and even effect a complete cure in many illnesses. EQQ has also been found to enhance seed germination and plant growth, increasing crop yields. It has been found that EQQ prepared water can be imprinted with Qi and can inhibit bacterial proliferation, induce cancer cell apoptosis and promote the growth of normal cells.”

“In 2013, the International Chinese Parapsychology Association (ICA), now registered in Hong Kong, was set up to integrate Chinese psi research with other global activity in the field… The Mind-Matter Parapsychology Phenomena and Study Kumming Ltd, registered in Kumming (capital of Yunnan province) has recently been established. These associations can also call upon the expertise of scientists such as Shao Linxiang (Kochi University of Technology), Leping Zha and Dong Shen.”

“During the summer periods of 2012-2015, the Training Group on the Potential of Blind Children, Southern China Branch, in co-operation with the facilities offered by Lady Tang Kai-Ting of Taiwan in Beijing, found that by using a method combining scientific memory and the practice of Qigong over a period of time, many blind children could learn to distinguish different colours by touch on the nose or ear, and even recognize the outlines of simple figures and numbers, thus improving their quality of life.”

“Blind children can be taught to telepathically communicate with each other and have even been taught to get together in a ‘virtual space’ and move objects by virtual PK. Sighted children can be taught to develop their PK abilities to fold strips of paper or break matchsticks held in transparent sealed containers, and even write a few tiny words such as ‘Mother I love you’ and a figure of ‘love’ on a sealed match stick (fig 1) by using a mind controlled ‘virtual pen’.”

“Children can also be taught to develop their psi abilities to achieve ‘psi-calculations’, communicate with spirits and with plants and perceive at a distance (remote viewing). Our research has demonstrated that the potential to develop ESP/PK abilities in both blind and sighted children is universal, independent of nation, religion and belief.”

The article also lists the working theory of Chinese scientists as to how this works, research into earthquake predictions and a summary of scientific publications.

I found some additional information on the topic in an article from 1991 in the American Society for Psychical Research. The article can be downloaded in PDF form from CIA library: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00792R000300270007-9.pdf . It’s written by Leping Zha (see a quote above) and Tron McConnell. Might be worth a read to learn more on this topic.

Parapsychology in the People’s Republic of China

When’s the last time you heard of a book on esoteric magic endorsed by a Nobel Laureate physicist, a president of the American Statistical Association, a program director at the National Science Foundation, etc.? Never? Well, now you have.

On the book’s web site there’s also the following video that covers the background for the book and the main points it discusses.

What I love about Dean Radin is that he’s a serious scientist who’s been researching and writing about the topics related to parapsychology for decades. I always read his books as they come out. You can find more of his books on Amazon.

I’ve already pre-ordered my copy!

The post Dean Radin to release a new book on science and magic appeared first on Mind-Energy.

I bought the book on Amazon for my Kindle Paperwhite reader. I like reading on the Kindle because I can read in bed before going to sleep and it’s easy to highlight passages of text and find them later.

Back to review. The short version is that I found this book to be the most compelling and well-structured book that I’ve ever read on this topic. And even though I’ve read about some of the accounts described in the book, I find that Leslie Kean could gather more information about them and present them in a very clear manner. In fact, she says that some details of cases were only provided for her book. She mentions which ones they are.

The book’s purpose is to consider the existing evidence that a person’s consciousness can survive bodily death. The book is organized into 4 parts, which in a way build one upon the other, or at least they go from the “simpler” to the more “complex”, or hard to understand or to believe, aspects of her research. The author also reports her own experiences related to that, some as part of her research for the book and some not so much.

Some chapters of the book were written by other people, mostly researchers, but the style and flow of the book are kept fantastically despite being written by other people. Good editing.

The four parts of the book delve into the following phenomena:

1. Reincarnation research. Includes summaries of research by Ian Stevenson and also newer cases in the US. I knew about one of them and not about the other. Both cases are very compelling to suggest that something is going on, and they have good records that decrease the chances of fraud to nil.
2. NDE research – Probably the topic I knew the most about personally. The is one of the best coverages on this topic. Again, compelling cases are described very well.
3. Mental and Trance mediumship – This is where research summary and cases are enhanced by author’s own experience. Fantastic reads.
4. Physical mediumship – The topic that I knew the least about. I always thought that it was a kind of a lost art or all fraud. I was intrigued to learn that physical mediums still exist. This part also includes author’s personal testimony of attending several such séances and a chapter by the medium himself that describes the journey and personal thoughts on scientific research of this phenomena.

The book constantly tries to compare if the phenomena suggest survival of consciousness versus the super-psi theory that posits that all of the knowledge (such as of a medium or a child who remembers past lives) comes from their own super-sensory apparatus.

To me personally, the super-psi theory seems to suggest too much psi power to individuals, while there’s no real evidence of such strong powers in individuals. To me, it’s a more complicated explanation than the one that posits survival of consciousness. Still, as the book says, it’s impossible to prove the super-psi theory wrong because it puts no limit on the paranormal abilities of people.

If you’re in any way interested in learning more about the possibility of an afterlife, this book, “Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for an Afterlife”, is a must have, in my opinion.

Highly recommended.

This book makes me want to read Leslie Kean’s previous book, her investigation on the subject of UFOs: UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record.

Andrija Puharich

Andrija Puharich is perhaps best known in parapsychology circles for bringing Uri Geller into the United States, and writing a book about him, Uri: A journal of the mystery of Uri Geller. He was also investigating Brazilian psychic surgeon, Zé Arigó.

The film producer is looking for donations, in part because “Andrija left behind hundreds of tapes and videos, as well as written material and personal journals. Part of the budget will go directly to once and for all digitizing this material for the world to see and hear.”

Please Support The Project on IndieGoGo:

You’re all encouraged to make this film a reality by donating at the IndieGoGo site: Mind Over Matter: The Mysteries of Andrija Puharich. 

The campaign runs until Jan 11, 2018.

Some of the most talked-about documents there are concerned with the testing that was conducted on Uri Geller, a famous and controversial figure in the world of both stage magic and psychic abilities.

After conducting this series of tests, the researchers concluded that Uri Geller ”demonstrated his paranormal perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner.”

Uri Geller in a STARGATE document

BBC does a good coverage of some document in their article on the matter. And the article in Daily Mail includes more information specifically about Uri Geller’s documents.

I took a look at the archives myself and found a document there, possibly an excerpt from a newspaper, interestingly titled “Geller a Fake, says Ex-manager”. It was apparently written by James Randi but describes how Geller’s manager at that time, Yasha Katz, admits to taking part in helping Geller perform his tricks. And that the tricks had nothing to do with psychic powers.

Geller is a Fake, says ex-manager. Top of page.

I was intrigued about this page since the other articles didn’t mention it. Luckily, Geller was interviewed a couple of days after the release of the documents by Patrick Keller on his Big Séance podcast. In this interview, the first that Geller gave after CIA’s release, he mentions that Katz was asked to provide this false testimony so that Geller could continue his real role as a CIA and, possibly, other intelligence services, agent, without drawing too much attention. In fact, he says, his public persona was a cover-up for his real work. It wasn’t the first time that Geller tells about his involvement with the CIA. In fact his authorized biography from 2013, The Secret Life of Uri Geller: CIA Masterspy? , explores this topic.

Geller had more to tell in this podcast, including events from his childhood, his friendship with Michael Jackson, his work with the CIA and other interesting tidbits. Recommended.

Note, these documents were released on-line for the first time but were previously available in one specific public library in the US, so basically weren’t easily accessible for most people.
