High Sense Perceptions (and how to achieve them)

HSP [high sense perception] is simply a way to receive information through the use of the natural built-in senses that we already have but most people simply do not acknowledge, much less know how to use. So they simply do not develop the ability to do so.

Someday, with the help of science, we will develop instruments to find and measure the energy consciousness fields that are (from my perspective) an intimate part of life. Yet in order to research something, one must become curious about observed phenomena. Then one must have some ideas about what one is observing and what to look for.

It is even better to have some personal experiences that spark the curiosity to find the right questions. Then questions can be asked through observations. Questions lead to more questions and eventually to some hypothesis to check out. Then one can eventually postulate a theory, check the theory with experimental evidence, and eventually, with hard work, prove or disprove it. There is always more on the horizon.

And therein lies the deep difference between the inner-scientist, the esoteric scientist, and the mere believer.

Believe nothing - perceive, experience, know, understand, create. Grow up.

It was only later that I found out that the phenomenon was discussed in esoteric literature and made to be mysterious. It was called the aura, a term I have never liked. There was an “aura” of specialness around those who could perceive the aura. I never considered it to be mysterious. It is not. I simply observe another natural phenomenon that is actually quite similar to what I had measured at NASA. There is only one major difference. This phenomenon is intimately associated with life and directly related to life experience. The big problem is that, from what I know now, this phenomenon has never actually been measured well. I think that this is because there are additional measurements needed to understand it, such as a clearer understanding of consciousness and the conscious experience of life. Are there ways to measure it? Such a study, then, would become a marriage of the science of physics, neurology, and psychology, and possibly something new that no one knows yet. Until then, I will make do with what I have to offer about this wonderful phenomenon from which we can learn a great deal about ourselves and the living world of which we are a part.

This made me laugh, as I also dislike the aura around auras. There is here in action a psychological trick, something I may call the "superiority of ignorance", as is fairly similar to the "illusion of competence". All those "I can perceive something beyond science" postures, I find deeply pathetic. Having the perception without the understanding does not, in any way, elevate such experiences as "beyond science" - merely beyond personal understanding, possibly also beyond current public understanding of current public science. The claim that something cannot as yet be measured is totally different to the claim that it can't, by some self-serving definition. Not knowing is OK - live with it, as it is the source of further investigations.

There is nothing beyond science, there are merely extensions of science. If you some allergic reaction to the word "science", too bad; call it something else, such as knowledge, natural philosophy or reality.

To claim anything exists but cannot be measured is a purely metaphysical claim that tells us nothing about the universe - apart from the existence of such claims.

What I do find surprising is that Brennan did not have access to sensitive measuring devices. I have described before my very rudimentary experiments with Hall probes that measure static magnetic fields. That is where I would start looking. But perhaps the book is written chronologically, she later mentions that it may require simultaneous measurements. This is potentially interesting, as I think experiences such as consciousness cannot be defined by one single frequency, but rather a cluster of frequencies that superpose. However, there is a branch of physics that has been kept under wraps for a good 150 years; it is now known as scalar electromagnetism, and is intimately linked to zero-point energy. I don't wish to take a long detour, but you can do so at meyl.eu!

Let us also not forget that the experiences themselves are forms of measurements - we have over 20 sensory devices in our body (and counting), so the idea that we have perceptors that we mostly do not perceive out of ignorance and lack of use, is not far-fetched but merely stating the obvious.

Curiosity

Curiosity leads to observation
that leads to investigation
that leads to discovery
that leads to understanding
that leads to applications
that then improve our lives!

Where is your curiosity?

From my perspective, there is a relationship between this black velvet void, teeming with un-manifest life, and the quantum mechanics concept of zero point field. Since the black velvet void and the zero point field are the sources of all manifestation, I believe they are one and the same. One is understood from the perspective of direct spiritual experience, and the other from the perspective of quantum physics.

Gotta smile :-D

Thanks to Tino, @famigliacurione, for suggesting her books. The above quotes are from just the first 20 pages or so of Core Light Healing - My Personal Journey and Advanced Healing Concepts by Barbara Ann Brennan. The first sections are a condensation of her first two books, so one can see the whole theory - and the experiences that inform the theory. Without having the experiences anything can appear as "just a theory". Even something as common as riding a bike is expanding perceptions by learning to use new sensors, in this case to achieve dynamic stability.

Enough to chew on, methinks.

But, one has to chew - not just read about chewing.
