The history of the 20 plus year program in which the US government spent tens of millions on psychical research is worthy of further academic study, but due to taboos it remains unexplored by the mainstream. The reasons for the taboo may not be as straightforward as one thinks. For the same reasons why UFO knowledge is still suppressed, knowledge that Remote Viewing is real would threaten many aspects of society dependent on secrets to function. If you could remote view anywhere or anywhen, what would you want to know? This essay will not be reexamining the rich history of remote viewing. The author recommends books by Ingo Swann, Russel Targ, Joseph McMoneagle. Though not involved with the Stargate
Beyond Our Concept of Reality It's not just that the theories of spacetime and quantum mechanics ... more Beyond Our Concept of Reality It's not just that the theories of spacetime and quantum mechanics are doomed, but that we haven't even begun to consider what might replace them. Consider microbiology. The idea of what makes up a cell has changed very little over the last 20 years. There was no theories of 'oh, we're missing something fundamental here.' But Artificial Intelligence appears to have doubled the number of functional artifacts in cells previously unimagined. Does that lead us to an invisible world known as the Shadow Biosphere? No! That's there, too, but even that is just another layer that impresses upon us that we are blind and grappling with elephants. Humans are detached from reality | Donald Hoffman and Lex Fridman I love Lex Fridman! I am kind of a fan of Donald Hoffman. He has brought something to the table that is interesting, taking simulation theory to another level. He has number of Tedtalks and other videos available, discussing how the pursuit of fitness leads to evolutionary blindness, and that no organism sees reality as it is. More on that, when running simulations, the greater access to 'truth' the less well a simulated creature or 'species' did. Keep it simple, ignore the truth, things flourish!

The topic is out of body experiences, and though the subject has seen an increase of articles in various forms of literature, for and against, and perhaps more against the metaphysical themes, I have not seen anyone propose the following as a materialistic explanation. I shall get straight to my point. There is a blind man who has learned to navigate the world through something akin to echolocation. His name is Daniel Kish. By making auditory clicks, he 'hears' his worlds as well as a bat, and seems to have a better sense of distance and objects than a sighted person. This skill can be learned, which was demonstrated under scientific conditions. Both people with sight and seeing impaired have demonstrated abilities to 'navigate' the world without seeing. It was noted that younger students of this art fair better than older persons, at least in terms of those who have sight. If we accept that people can learn to see from a form of human echolocation, than it isn't too difficult to surmise this could be an explanation for out of body experiences. It is believed that hearing is the last sense to turn off in someone who is dying. This belief is supported by the fact that family members are encouraged to speak to their love ones that are in a coma. If we allow for people in a modern ICU situation, where they are bound by medical devices, perhaps their eyes closed, the steady pinging of a heart monitor might provide a consistent source sound that would paint the world, allowing a distressed brain to grasp what it can. If a brain could make sense of this information, it would be a perfect three dimensional rendering of the world, including the person's own body, and it would extend the length of the echo. This scenario would explain why those sedated in operations claim to see around sterile fields. A three dimensional model in the absence of sight would allow the person to objectively see the model from any angle. This might also explain why people have failed to read the hidden messages placed above operating lights that skeptic use as evidence for persons not actually being out of their body. A person might realize there is a paper note above the light, but echolocation would not resolve what is written on a paper, any more than it could read the writing on the monitors, or discern the nature of the art framed upon the wall, if there was such a thing available. If we continue to speculate as to echolocation being an explanation, and we dial back a persons life, we might find that hearing, being the first true sense to come on line, offers an explanation for why there are reports of knowledge that extend back to pre-birth that have confounded common sense. It is clear children respond to music they were subjected to on a regular basis in the womb, which was evidence by sucking patterns on bottle when babies were presented with these prenatal themes. If the brain is making sense of a three dimensional map even before we are born, then it is not a supernatural feat for us to be able to consciously report activity out of line of sight, or having memories of such that defy explanation. What parent hasn't been surprised by a child's reports of something they shouldn't know? I believe it
