Psychokinesis (PK)

 

Mind Over Matter -- in miniature by Mario Varvoglis, Ph.D.

The Random Number Generator [RNG] as a PsiFeedback device

At this point, I’m convinced that the technology and the techniques are available for widespread personal explorations of psychic potentials. Putting this all together, and making it available to the public (rather than just a few isolated laboratories) is essentially what got me going on the Psi Explorer CD-ROM.

I’ve been in the field of experimental parapsychology for over two decades, so by now I have some pretty strong opinions about what it would take to put together a decent self-training package for psi. Certainly the computer-RNG combination -- or, more simply, a program using the computer’s random function -- is adequate for ‘psifeedback’: it permits people to try out different techniques and instantly evaluate their success. But in itself, this is just not enough. For one thing, you want to have at least some idea as to what we know about psi today -- for example, what favors it or antagonizes it. A good start would be to familiarize yourself with the most interesting results of modern psi research -- the best experiments, the ways people spontaneously experience psi, surveys, psi applications. This is all rather virgin territory so you can use all the accumulated knowledge and advice science can provide -- for example, suggestions as to what kinds of mental states favor psi.
