…into consciousness are best able to access psi material.40Roney-Dougal (1987); Carpenter & Simmonds-Moore (2009).

…of consciousness. The PEAR research program, together with similar research endeavors around the world, adds a further dimension to the challenge of describing consciousness. Nearly three decades of experiments demonstrated and documented anomalous physical phenomena that were significantly correlated with such subjective variables as intention, meaning, and resonance. The results…
…the consciousness causes collapse interpretation of quantum mechanics with subliminal priming. It should be noted that all of his work has been privately published and was not subject to peer review.
