PSI EXPERIENCES: THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG  
by Mario Varvoglis, Ph.D.

What we're coming to realize is that there's a huge difference between the 'reception' of psi information, vs. its conscious detection -- its manifestation in the person's conscious mind. It's not like telepathic information just overrides everything else happening at the moment and crashes into consciousness, as if we had zapped the TV from one channel to another. Rather, psi information may be received at an unconscious level, but not surface into the conscious mind at all; or, it may emerge only hours after it has been received, when our body and mind are in a more calm or relaxed state.

More and more, psi researchers are finding that psi is largely an unconscious function. We are probably receiving a lot more psi information than we ever realize -- the occasional psi experience being simply the tip of the iceberg. So, while reception of psi may be occurring all the time, detection depends upon the complex interaction of a number of psychological and bodily conditions. The main task for modern researchers is to define conditions and techniques that allow us to better detect telepathy and other forms of psi information.
