…conditions (t-difference = 5.37, p = 4.9 x 10-8). The analysis excluded two unpublished experiments: one using directional arrows that showed equal effects across conditions (attributed to automatic motor responses), and another using multiple numbers that failed to produce any priming effects. Lucido argues the combined statistical power strongly supports…
…trial night. In the morning at the laboratory, the software automatically selected four targets at random and presented them on the screen. Targets were ranked by their correspondence with the dream mentation, individually and then as a group consensus. It was found that participants were more successful with highly emotional…
…affected by during its existence’. The ‘associated object’ acts like a ‘tuning fork’, automatically triggering in the psychometrist’s brain vibrations that correspond to some event associated with it in the past. When these vibrations align with the memory of the events stored in the ‘cosmic brain’, the effect is to…
…disease).9Mashour et al. (2019). However, because such episodes can also occur many weeks or months before death, paradoxical lucidity does not automatically and always imply proximity of death. Conversely, the decisive definition criterion of terminal lucidity is the proximity of death – but it is not limited to occurring in…
…of these random devices, but also that the complexity of the device did not matter, and, most surprisingly, that the effect could seemingly operate retroactively. To demonstrate this last effect Schmidt pre-recorded the data for entire experiments (automatically and unseen by anyone). At a later time, subjects (who generally thought…
…evidence for his theory of ‘habitual memory’ and ‘pure memory’. Bergson (1896) describes ‘habitude memory’ which is replaying and repeating past action, not strictly recognized as representing the past, but utilizing it for the purpose of present action. This kind of memory is automatic, inscribed within the body, and serves…
…with more stringent conditions, for instance using high quality casino dice and randomly choosing what face to wish for. To remove any possibility of direct physical influence, machines were introduced that tumbled the dice, released them automatically and photographed the outcome. In due course the process was standardized to a…
…released them automatically and photographed the outcome. In due course the process was standardized to a run of 24 throws where the expected number of hits would be 4 (1/6*24). In 1943, Rhine published an overview of 20 experiments carried out over nine years. The early ones were marred by…
…(W), fulfilment or non-attachment (N); it also corresponds respectively with Faith, Obedience, Active Recollection, Continuous Recollection.31Whiteman (1986). Whiteman placed great importance on this cycle having its opposites or ‘counterfeits’ of self-will, self-satisfaction, automaticity, complacency, which may lead to a corresponding cycle of ‘stresses’ of death-feeling, shame, pain, fear. This in…
