But this presents two difficulties. The fact that each area of study needs a minimum of its specialized terminology and language in order to communicate certain ideas is one of them. Shorthand expressions for groups of assumptions and ideas avoid authors from having to repeat the same complete description of assumptions over and over again. Another factor is that the existence of a shared scientific “dictionary” is very unlikely to be established, since the JC welcomes papers from researchers and scientists of any area who are investigating the consciousness. We encourage authors to keep technical terminology to a minimum; nonetheless, as we will evidently encounter a majority of articles authored by researchers in the area of conscientiology itself, we can expect a greater incidence of conscientiological terms to be contained in the articles. These terms express specific sets of concepts and references to those examining this field of knowledge. In order to exhort scientists from different areas to debate ideas published by conscientiology researchers, we are reprinting an updated version of the Glossary of Conscientiology. The conscientiological glossary is republished annually with the primary aim of supporting those who have recently become members or subscribers to the Journal of Conscientiology. In this issue you will find interesting works and ideas, such as the thorough experimental research performed by physicists and chemists into the observations of the germination of gamma-radiated canary seed under the influence of the Johrei practice. Johrei involves an application of bioenergies by the laying on of hands. In addition you will also find a meticulous, in-depth
study of Synchronicity, which presents us with intriguing ideas
and facts. The Editors
Influence of the Laying on of Hands Technique (Johrei) on the Germination of Gamma-irradiated Canary Seed Azuhyl Gomes (in memoriam), Pedro C. N. Teixeira,
ABSTRACT: In order to investigate the effect of the laying on of hands on the germination of previously irradiated seeds of Phalaris canariensis (the method known as Johrei), groups of seeds were irradiated with gamma radiation from 137Cs before hydration. After hydration, half of the groups were submitted to Johrei, while the other half were used as control. The number of germinated seeds was counted over intervals of time. A comparison between the countings for each time interval was performed through a variance analysis approach (ANOVA) for a confidence interval of 95%. This analysis revealed significant differences between countings, corresponding to treated and non-treated groups at some time intervals. Key-words: Johrei, laying on of hands, germination, canary seed, gamma radiation. SUMARIO: Para investigar el efecto de la imposición de las manos (el método conocido como Johrei) en la germinación de semillas de Phalaris canariensis previamente irradiadas, se irradiaron grupos de semillas con radiación gamma de 137Cs antes de la hidratación. Después de hidratadas, la mitad de los grupos se sometió al Johrei, mientras la otra mitad se usó como control. El número de semillas germinadas fue contado periódicamente. Una comparación entre el conteo a cada intervalo de tiempo se realizó a través de un análisis de variaciones (ANOVA) para un intervalo de confianza de 95%. Este análisis reveló diferencias significantes en los conteos correspondientes entre los grupos tratados y no-tratados en ciertos intervalos de tiempo. Palabras-clave: Johrei, imposición de manos, germinación, alpiste, radiación gamma. RESUMO: Com o objetivo de investigar o método de imposição de mãos conhecido como Johrei sobre a germinação de sementes previamente irradiadas de Phalaris canariensis, grupos de sementes foram irradiadas com radiação gama proveniente de 137Cs antes de serem hidratadas. Após a hidratação, metade dos grupos foi submetida ao Johrei, enquanto a outra metade foi utilizada como controle. O número de sementes germinadas foi contado periodicamente. Uma comparação entre as contagens para cada intervalo de tempo foi efetuada segundo uma abordagem de análise de variâncias (ANOVA) para um intervalo de confiança de 95%. Esta análise revelou diferenças significativas entre contagens para certos intervalos de tempo, correspondentes aos grupos tratados e não tratados. Palavras-chave: Johrei, imposição de mão, germinação, alpiste e radiação gama. Azuhyl Gomes (*27/07/1914 – + 05/07/2000) was a professor of physiology at the Federal Fluminense University. He was the researcher who founded the Johrei Research Center of Rio de Janeiro, the Mokiti Okada Foundation (MOA), where he contributed from 1985 to 2000. Pedro Celso Nogueira Teixeira received his PhD in Biophysics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He has dedicated himself to the research of the Johrei practice with the Mokiti Okada Fondation since 1985. Presently, he is a guest-researcher at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. José Aguiar Coelho Neto has a PhD in physics received from the Physics Institute of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He has researched Johrei at the Research Center of the Mokiti Okada Foundation since 1985. Karina Guimarães Furtado is a chemist who graduated from the Federal Technical School of Chemistry in Rio de Janeiro. She also became a professional translator (English-Portuguese) after receiving specialized tuition from the Brazilian Society of English Culture. She has dedicated herself to the investigations on Johrei since 1997. Humberto Rocha is a chemist and associate professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He is interested in biophysics, molecular biology and the physiology of plants. Rocha is a consultant at the MOA Research Center on Johrei – in Rio de Janeiro. Hélio Vargas Chaves de Souza has a MSc in physics received from COPPE (Coordination of Engineering Post-graduation Programs). He is a consultant at the MOA Research Center on Johrei – in Rio de Janeiro. Synchronicity & the Structure of the Psyche Marc J. Seifer ABSTRACT: Meaningful coincidences were first logged and analyzed by Paul Kammerer who suggested that these events revealed a heretofore unrecognized law of nature which tended to bring like and like together. Jung carried the analysis further suggesting that the mind transcends our normal concepts of space and time. Realms of the psyche which he called archetypes, located in the collective unconscious, were somehow responsible for collecting or linking similar events which were not related by physical cause and effect energies but rather by meaning. Seifer introduced the term "kicker" to denote the extreme precision of the more spectacular synchronistic events, while Persinger speculated that the geomagnetic pulsations of the earth may somehow be involved in initiating or acting as carrier frequencies. If the world is constructed on holographic principles aligned with such concepts as Leibnitz's monad theory or Mach's Principle whereby in some derivative sense, each part codes for the whole, it is possible that properties inherent in holography may represent the physical part of this process, whereas synchronistic phenomena may be the mental counterpart.
Marc J. Seifer, Ph.D. teaches quantitative analysis at Roger Williams University on the adjunct faculty. His book Wizard: The Life & Times of Nikola Tesla, Citadel Press/Kensington, is “highly recommended” by the American Academy for the Advancement of Science. Información y Sabiduría Ney Vernon Vugman SUMARIO: Los conceptos de información y sabiduría son analizados bajo el prisma del paradigma conciencial. El aspecto dualista del cerebro humano, asociado a la dificultad de adquirir sabiduría, es confrontado con las posibilidades no-duales relacionadas con la multidimensionalidad.
From Theory to Practice Brooke Gordon I fell asleep while lying on the bed in the Mentalsoma
Laboratory, the very last lab out of forty-five that I had done
during the two months I stayed at the Center for Higher Studies
of the Consciousness (CHSC) in Iguassu Falls, Brazil. I should add
that I had tried to do this lab two other times during my stay,
but there had been a problem with the air conditioner, forcing me
to reschedule. I have a definite feeling this was due to extraphysical
influences, since I seemed to be the only one who had this issue.
Editor's comments Brooke Gordon’s experience illustrates two
elements that are reported by a significant percentage of those
who claim having had an OOBE. The first is the instability of the
psychosoma, a condition when the projector feels a momentary lack
of control over the psychosoma. |
