Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi William, Doc, and group, Dr William Tiller from Stanford University was the head of the solid state physics department for many years. You don’t get to be head of a department of physics at a major university of Stanford’s’ caliber without being a renowned scientist in your field. While I think that often his years of work in solid state physics narrows his interpretation of the data in a way that I personally think is too limiting, his work is still very good. He does present solid experimental work and his theories are closer to mine than any other writer out there save one. Sir Roger Penrose wrote a series of books on consciousness that are quite good. I have met the man and he is a very well versed gentleman and a scholar. If you think his name sounds familiar you are right. He invented fractal geometry, Penrose tiling, and chaos theory. His best friend was another Oxford scholar named David Bohm who was a well known physicist that argued with peers such as Einstein and Feynman. Penrose wrote some very good books on consciousness that cover the physics in detail without using a lot of mathematics by describing the behavior of the systems in real world terms. I personally feel that every undergrad physics student should read them as an introduction to physics. They are well written but they lack one thing that experimentalists such as Doc and myself like and that’s experiments we can do in the real world to verify his thought experiments on what consciousness is. Still, the review of physics and speculative application of its principles to understanding what consciousness is in Penrose’s books makes a good precursor to really understand what Tiller is saying in his books. And Tiller would probably find himself more in agreement with Penrose than I do because they both choose models of consciousness that don’t have room for free will by the embedded hidden presuppositions in the logic they both use (something Dr. Penrose and I discussed when I met him to which he pointed to the one place in his work where he effectively swept the issue under the rug and stated that belongs in that insoluble term). It is this that makes me feel that their years of experience limit their theories and the reason why while I agree with a lot of what they both have to say on consciousness, intention and the interconnection of that with the physical through these material forms we call human bodies I still disagree on certain of the particulars. To better understand my position one would need to study quantum field theory and Lie algebra. Then I could discuss the non-Abelian nature of consciousness and quantum mechanics and the connection between those and free will, the importance of those characteristics and the myriad possibilities that opens for us as conscious beings. I think anyone that truly wants to approach this from a scientific perspective should start with Nick Herbert’s book “Quantum Reality” so as to get some idea of the non-Abelian behavior of Quantum mechanics… the bizarre nature of it. And to get a clear understanding of the different theories about what it means so that you won’t listen to someone that has their metaphors all mixed together and uses mutually incompatible approaches to what quantum mechanics means indiscriminately like certain trainers (RB) so that when you read the myriad books (both scientific and pseudo-scientific) by people attempting to understand energy, consciousness, intention, attitude, etc. you will be able to discern which ones actually understand and say something that makes sense from the ones making up garbage that is unverifiable and often self contradictory. Anyway, that is one physicist’s comment on this thread… Walter Hurlbut PhD physics On Behalf Of docspeed2001 Friday, March 20, 2009 3:49 PM To: Subject: I'd get Dr. Tiller's three very complex books , " William Leigh " <william4x5 wrote: > Theta Healing offers another structure. Hi William, I don't buy their structure. In fact I 'think' when I compare my experiences (with healing, remote viewing & energy work) and my training with much of their structure... ....they can do much better. When I say 'much better' I am referencing the methodology of how they verify what they say, and how they 'teach' what they believe. (The seven planes snipped) This is also close to the structure that Jose Silva gave around 1965 with his Silva Mind Control (remember that Mind Control IS HYPNOSIS). Jose did study much of Theosophy and the AMORC stuff, along with much new age stuff. And, another researcher, George W. Meek, did give similar diagrams in his 1972 book, " From Enigma To Science " on page 86. > Vianna's Book give this structure in much more detail. Compared to whom? I think she is extrapolating from those that went before. That is called 'research', just like Blavasky did 'research' to write her books. I also think she is borrowing. I did enjoy her book. I do suggest people interested in healing get it. I also suggest they DO LIKE SHE DID and get some hypnosis training!!! > At Maharishi International University, MIU, a structure was >provides showing where the present class or topic fell into the >overall picture.

Well, Now we are getting into 'druthers', for example " I'd druther this be true than that be true, etc " . I'd 'druther' be 39 again, than my actual age. But it ain't going to happen. I personally dislike Transendental Meditation being taught the way it is taught. Sort of pissed me off way back then when I took it (around 1970). It is taught for dolphins (another word for Earth Elements) and for the peaceniks. Remember the Viet Nam War was still going on and I was ex-military (Army Security Agency). There was NO psychic rapport between them and I. Now I do LOVE some of Deepak's works. (snipped) Again, my problem with Vianna's stuff is NOT Vianna. It is the lack of proper training methods on how-to-consciously build mind bridges between the different aspects of mind. Without that being build, only hallucinations are repeatable. Hallucinations will NOT heal anyone. (NOW this post is getting ON-TOPIC for this discussion group!!!) About 10% of the population are 'naturally psychic' (Jose's testing came up with those numbers) SOME OF THE TIME. But because of no training, they cannot REPEAT what they accidentally do once in a while. This is the trap MOST healers fall into without the proper training. You want at least 80% accuracy and NOT 10%. And John Grinder also modeled healers (about 1985 and it's on audio), and John noticed their were about 5% of the people that he could not heal even using the modeling process. Some people just have a certain 'attitude' that by-passes the healer's processes, and it is a particular personality trait. > I was looking through Tillman's websites and I didn't notice any >technology that he was developing, but only that he was looking for >a parallel understanding between the sciences and meta-sciences. You are looking in the wrong place. I'd get Dr. Tiller's three very complex books. You can find them on amazon. And I really do believe that Dr. Tiller 'believes' he is simplying what he's done so us 'non-physic' students can understand, but... ....I'd get a dictionary, and someone that actually knows science (physics) on an intimate level to help explain what he has VERIFIED in his experimentation over the past 35 years with dowsing, remote viewing, remote healing and his 'intention' experiments. For me, I got my long time friend and student (21 years now) Dr. Walter Hurlbut to assist me. And Doc Walter does not agree with everything Dr. Tiller says...but there is enough understanding between their education that I can learn better. > ...I think his research shows promise. MIU researches have been > proving their theories for decades and no one pays them any mind, > so I hope that Tillman has better success. It does. He is. Why? I'm pretty sure one of the reasons is because he DOES NOT come from a religious angle, (notice I did NOT say 'spiritual')...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Walter Hurlbut,Doc and others, Just to clarify: Dr. Hurlburt mentioned two ways of validation. The first proved the non local aspects of ESP by demonstrating ability to " read " playing cards from outer space. I imagine that statistical methods were used to prove the astronaut had consistent above average ability with ESP. In the second method you mentioned the Zip Up technique that is verifiable with energy testing. Then you further demonstrated that the Zip Up technique and other techniques from Donna Eden also fall within the understanding of modern science for improving health. Does energy testing also fall within the understanding of modern science as a validation process?

If it were energy transmission rather than quantum data teleportation via entanglement the skill would have dropped with the square of the distance just like any radiating wave from a source whether we are talking electromagnetic or gravity. As the energy of such a source spreads out the surface area the energy is spread upon grows as the square of the distance. At some point the reception would drop and introduce errors. Consider how fast your radio sources drop off as you move away from them and then realize that they are typically radiating with 50,000 to 100,000 watts.

The more one is in an alpha-theta state of mind while doing this the better. It is interesting to note that one of the signs of this state of mind is red eyes due to increased relaxation of the arteries and veins resulting in increased blood flow. One can add the experiment of doing this same drill with extreme tension versus relaxing the arm and hand as much as possible and note the increased effectiveness in that as well. >  > And why is increase blood flow important to me as a major component of the theory relating the shorter range energy fields of the body? Because blood is an electrolyte (mixture of free charges of both positive and negative types with different masses and charges) AKA plasma. So the behavior of a moving plasma at low temperatures is quite well known. And the magnetic and electric fields that are generated by the motion are calculable. The interaction of such is in line with the results of this drill. Moving in opposition to the central field with a sharply shaped field results in retardation of flow and thus decreased available energy and increased tension losses as well is an involuntary response in the body to constrict arteries and decrease blood flow.
