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. |
