Cory: Perhaps it is due precisely to a fellows very fanciful and newagey inclinations that his actions have not been marked by any significant contribution to collective progress and innovation -- in science especially."

Alyosha: I'm not quite sure I understand. Are you speaking in general terms as I was above or are you referring to me specifically? Would you please elaborate?


I'm speaking generally, but the comment attacks an aspect of me personally as I actually have had a bit of a 'fanciful-magical thinking' sort of streak in me at times in the past, and I don't have much to say for myself yet in regards to how I've helped humanity progressed with my innovativeness.

Does my general comment attack an aspect of you?

It's true that people can go overboard in skepticism, IMO extreme skepticism is most nefarious when a person refuses to be certain about anything and simply wallows in wonder about all sorts of trivial and often spiritual nonesense, never commiting to anything, and invariably side-stepping the more devestating, destructive and more vital issues.

If we are to take into account the truly vital individuals who helped humanity progress, I think you'll find that what distinguishes them is their disdain for indulging in fanciful, super-natural speculation.

Just look at the difference between Descartes and Newton.

Newton was by far the greater man as he didnt indulge in empty speculation nearly to the degree that Descartes did. He prided himself in not being like Descartes. And of course Newton is much less remarkable in contrast to the likes of Buddha, Nietzche, Lau Tzu, Hakuin, Kierkegaard because unlike newton, they did not escape into theology, alchemy, belief in a benelovent, all-power, loving and intelligent God.

Hmm. Yes I do think I have a little bit of a "fanciful-magical-thinking" side, but I definitely acknowledge what it is and I never confuse it for hard-line truth. In a way it can be distracting and against progress, I am usually pained by disillusionment. I have often been romantic (in the artistic sense) and I used to suffer from constant disappointment and disillusionment from my visions of grandeur.
But Einstein was notorious for dabbling in "fanciful-magical-thinking" although he might not have considered it so.
I think that if you don't close your mind to possibilities (which overly skeptical people almost always do) then you have a much greater chance of discovery and progress. Like I have said before, if you were to try to speculate about the Internet 50 years before it developed people would most likely say that you were exercising "fanciful-magical-thinking". In fact I think that most advances in science, philosophy, art, and technology would most likely be considered "fanciful-magical-thinking" before their innovative breakthrough. Innovation requires someone who does not censor himself or herself, does not fear failure and ridicule, and is willing to take risks others would consider absurd/outrageous/fanciful/magical. Would you have considered quantum computing magical 10 years ago? Some people still consider Psychoneuroimmunology to be “magical”. Do I think the full moon is magical? No it’s very physical. But I do feel that someday we will fully understand its effects from a scientific viewpoint, as for right now most don’t want to see a connection between the change in atmosphere, the change in tides and the shape of our planet, the shift in gravity across the surface of our planet and the possible biological implications this could have on living organisms – they just want to point out that there is a little extra light.

Tomas is on the ball. :D

There is another Ocean on Earth, that is not made up of water, it is made up of energy and just like water Ocean that has waves (i.e. frequency/resonance), so does this one. This ocean is invisible to perception of eye, yet it covers the globe completely, we (biological organisms) are immersed in this ocean of energy field, which has to do with our atmosphere.
The same way full moon affects tidal oscillations of water it also affects oscillation frequency of this "other" Ocean of electromagnetic field, which normally oscillates in a range that is described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonance.

If you read the article on wiki you will find that this resonance/frequency is also on the same modulation that human range of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_waves oscillate.

This knowledge is covertly omitted from your knowledge base by *snip* , because of the implication this knowledge has on our behavior and how much free will we can have over our own actions. (See CIA mind control experimenting etc.)

There is a project going on that is called HAARP, which stands for ( High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program.) a misleading acronym for a military weather and mass mind control research program based on technology developed by a man named Nicola Tesla, who is generally unknown scientist, who lived in 1900s. Despite him being a major contributor to advanced technology of today he is thought of as a proverbial mad scientist and many of his inventions classified end/or appropriated by other people.

In reality he was a humanitarian and genius on par with Leonardo da Vinci, and his life a spot light on dirty scheming and amoral business practices of the human race. He, of course is only one among the many, that have tried and failed to bring light to this dark hell hole we call "civilized" world.

Does full moon affect the mental state of humans and animals? You know it does. Can military industrial complex do the same en mass? You betcha!

It has nothing to do with this “magical” force called gravity though. (I call it magical because I don’t know how it works :-) )

Edit: Here is interesting article http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/schumann.html

Quotes from above article:

Our planet is surrounded by a layer of electrically charged particles called the ionosphere. The lower layer of the ionosphere is roughly 60-80 kilometres (40-50 miles) from the crust, and this charged layer is known to reflect radio waves. Bombardment by HAARP signals "pushes" out this boundary layer, thus altering the natural, pulsating rhythm. Natural fluctuations in frequency occur daily, by the lunar month, and in response to solar flares.

The frequencies of naturally occurring electromagnetic signals, circulating in the electrically resonant cavity bounded by the Earth and the ionosphere, have governed or determined the 'evolution' or development of the frequencies of operation of the principal human brain-wave signals. In particular, the alpha rhythm is so placed that it can in no circumstances suffer an extensive interference from naturally occurring signals.

Since the ionosphere is a highly charged layer, it forms a so-called capacitor with the Earth. This means that there is a difference in electrical potential between the two, the Earth being negatively charged and the ionosphere being positively charged. This potential varies somewhat, but is around 200 volts per metre. This is a fundamental type of electrical generator. The solar winds, interacting with the upper atmosphere rotation, act as the collector and brushes of a generator. The lower atmosphere can be seen as a storage battery for this gradient potential.

This electromagnetic field around the Earth can be viewed as a stiff jelly. When our bodies move and vibrate, these movements are transmitted to the environment, and vice versa. These fields not only impinge on our bodies, they also affect the charges inside our bodies. When we are standing on the ground, under normal conditions, we are grounded. Our body then acts as a sink for the electrostatic field and actually distorts the force-lines somewhat. The human body also has its own electrostatic field about itself.

These field lines are the result of the various biochemical reactions in the body. This resultant bio-field couples us to the iso-electric field of the planet (Miller & Miller, 1981).

A "tuned system" consists of at least two oscillators of identical resonant frequencies. If one oscillator starts emitting, the other will be activated by the signal very shortly, in the process of resonance, entrainment or kindling (igniting the resonance phenomenon among the neurons). It becomes obvious that in deep meditation, when waves of alpha and theta rhythms cascade across the entire brain, a resonance is possible between the human being and the planet.

According to Hainsworth, the influence of naturally occurring Schumann's resonance signals on brain-wave pattern evolution is formally stated to show that low-power electrical fields could produce evolutionary change. The electrical fields produced by modern electro-technology are then possible sources of evolutionary change.

The frequencies of the SR signals change with ionospheric conditions. These conditions change diurnally, seasonally and with variations in solar activity, which, in turn, varies with the 11-year sunspot cycle and also with the 27-29-day lunar cycle, mainly during sunspot minimum periods. Lunar tidal changes in the height and thickness of the layers could also sometimes affect the cavity dimensions and hence the Schumann's frequencies. So can powerful ELF signals from HAARP.

Brain waves have only been studied since about the mid-1920s, and the signal form that is apparently most widely known and identified is the alpha rhythm. The frequency of this signal varies from individual to individual, but it lies between about 7-8 Hz and 12 Hz, with an average value of 10.5 Hz. Theta and beta rhythm signals also occur, and are identifiable by EEG below the 8 Hz and above the 12 Hz frequencies.

Electromagnetic signals circulate at extremely low frequencies in the electrically resonant cavity between the Earth and the ionospherean average value of 7.8 Hz, with a typical diurnal range of from 7.2 to 8.8 Hz, and the second mode has an average value of 14.1 Hz and a range of from 13.2 to 15.8 Hz. These match the brain-wave theta rhythm and beta rhythm nicely. The blank range between the two modes is a very reasonable match with the normal frequency range of the human alpha rhythm, between 8 to 12 Hz or cycles.

Additionally, it was found that there is minimum (zero) power circulating in the Earth/ionosphere cavity at 10.4 Hz--which is virtually an exact match for the average value of the alpha rhythm. Hainsworth points out that the existence of these natural signals and the close relationship of their frequencies of oscillation were facts unknown to senior neurologists and mental health specialists as late as 1975.

The resonant cavity formed between the ionosphere and the Earth produces rhythmic waves capable of entraining and phase-locking with brain waves.

The brain is a massive source of ELF signals that get transmitted throughout the body through the nervous system, which is sensitive to magnetic fields. Brain waves and natural biorhythms can be entrained by strong external ELF signals, such as stationary waves at Schumann's resonances. Entrainment, synchronisation and amplification promote coherent large-scale activity rather than typical flurries of transient brain waves. Thus, resonant standing waves emerge from the brain, which under the right conditions facilitates internal and external bio-information transfer via ELF electromagnetic waves. These SR waves exhibit non-local character and nearly instant communication capability.

Schumann's resonance forms a natural feedback loop with the human mind/body. The human brain and body developed in the biosphere, the EM environment conditioned by this cyclic pulse. Conversely, this pulse acts as a "driver" of our brains and can also potentially carry information. Functional processes may be altered and new patterns of behaviour facilitated through the brain's web of inhibitory and excitatory feedback networks. Functional processes may be altered and new patterns of behaviour facilitated through the brain's web of inhibitory and excitatory feedback networks/

The frequency bands and wave characteristics are described as follows:

Gamma waves (25-60 Hz) appear to relate to simultaneous processing of information from different brain areas, e.g., involving memory, learning abilities, integrated thoughts or information-rich task processing. Gamma rhythms modulate perception and consciousness, which disappear with anaesthesia. Synchronous activity at about 40 Hz appears involved in binding sensory inputs into the single, unitary objects we perceive.

Beta waves (12-25 Hz) dominate our normal waking state of consciousness when attention is directed towards cognitive tasks and the outside world. Beta is a "fast" activity, present when we are alert or even anxious, or when engaged in problem solving, judgement, decision making, information processing, mental activity and focus. Nobel Prize winner Sir Francis Crick and other scientists believe the 40 Hz beta frequency may be key to the act of cognition.

Alpha waves (7-12 Hz) are present during dreaming and light meditation when the eyes are closed. As more and more neurons are recruited to this frequency, alpha waves cycle globally across the whole cortex. This induces deep relaxation, but not quite meditation. In alpha, we begin to access the wealth of creativity that lies just below our conscious awareness. It is the gateway, the entry point that leads into deeper states of consciousness. Alpha waves aid overall mental coordination, calmness, alertness, inner awareness, mind/body integration and learning.
Alpha is also the home of the window frequency known as the SR, which propagates with little attenuation around the planet. When we intentionally generate alpha waves and go into resonance with that Earth frequency, we naturally feel better, refreshed, in tune, in synch. It is, in fact, environmental synchronisation.

Theta waves (4-7 Hz) occur most often in sleep but are also dominant in the deepest states of meditation (body asleep/mind awake) and thought (gateway to learning, memory). In theta, our senses are withdrawn from the external world and focused on the mindscape--internally originating signals. Theta waves are associated with mystery, an elusive and extraordinary realm we can explore. It is that twilight state which we normally only experience fleetingly as we rise from the depths of delta upon waking or drifting off to sleep. In theta, we are in a waking dream; vivid imagery flashes before the mind's eye and we are receptive to information beyond our normal conscious awareness. Theta meditation increases creativity, enhances learning, reduces stress and awakens intuition and other extrasensory perception skills.

Delta waves (0-4 Hz) are the slowest but highest in amplitude. They are generated in deepest meditation and dreamless sleep. Delta waves confer a suspension of external existence and provide the most profound feelings of peace. In addition, certain frequencies within the delta range trigger the release of a growth hormone which is beneficial for healing and regeneration. This is why sleep, deep restorative sleep, is so essential to the healing process.

(my edit: Of course they overlap somewhat at the edges, but similar to the way surounding temperature affect the temperature of our bodies and change it, So does the external freequency of Schumann resonance, also affect our brain wave freequency with time. *Need link to this here*)

In conclusion, we postulate that: (1) we are complex electrodynamic, rather than merely chemical beings, sensitive to natural and artificial EM fields; (2) SR frequencies coincide with human brain waves, affecting subtle and gross brain-wave generation, regulating homoeostasis, healing and psi; (3) there is strong correlation between human behavioural disturbance and geomagnetic field turbulence or isolation from SR frequencies.

It's just a ride.
