1 00:00:03,530 --> 00:00:01,490 we think there's physical explanation 2 00:00:04,730 --> 00:00:03,540 okay and they would have reasonable 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:04,740 grounds for that because in most cases 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:08,370 there would be however I tccs are more 5 00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:11,490 powerful in this respect okay because 6 00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:13,230 you know the starting point you know the 7 00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:15,599 origin of the causal chain you can 8 00:00:18,349 --> 00:00:17,160 identify the point where that chain 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:18,359 disappears from the physical universe 10 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:20,010 and you can identify the point where it 11 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:22,410 comes back in it's a lot easier to 12 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,970 measure and observe and tell what's 13 00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:26,160 going on there and that's why in fact 14 00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:28,230 the ESP experiments and and other side 15 00:00:34,130 --> 00:00:30,900 related experiments that involve I tccs 16 00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:34,140 are so powerful which is why the 17 00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:35,820 physicals are scared to death of them 18 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:38,100 I've been reading reading physicalist 19 00:00:42,580 --> 00:00:40,110 literature for a long time and these 20 00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:42,590 folks won't even look at the evidence 21 00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:45,809 because they know what the implications 22 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:47,640 are if they acknowledge that this stuff 23 00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:50,489 is real and so they refuse to even 24 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:51,870 accept the evidence without even 25 00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:53,730 investigating it for the most part 26 00:00:58,670 --> 00:00:56,879 they'll rely on third-party skeptic 27 00:01:03,470 --> 00:00:58,680 assessments of us and stuff and assume 28 00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:03,480 that that's that that's accurate okay so 29 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:05,129 that's the first part that's the first 30 00:01:11,450 --> 00:01:10,170 way that psy is essentially essential to 31 00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:11,460 preserving the whole idea of 32 00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:13,950 consciousness as and as consciousness in 33 00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:16,110 itself okay so here's part 2 i'm going 34 00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:18,479 to hit this fairly quickly it does a 35 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:21,150 further thing for us ok we are usually 36 00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:23,490 think in terms of consciousness in terms 37 00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:26,340 of being awake and aware and all that i 38 00:01:31,219 --> 00:01:29,460 refer to that as conscious awareness we 39 00:01:32,810 --> 00:01:31,229 also have of course the subconscious and 40 00:01:34,190 --> 00:01:32,820 maybe the unconscious I don't want going 41 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:34,200 to all of that but we've got conscious 42 00:01:37,819 --> 00:01:35,850 worse in some cut subconscious and we're 43 00:01:40,039 --> 00:01:37,829 used to thinking in that dichotomy kind 44 00:01:43,789 --> 00:01:40,049 of a dualistic way of thinking about 45 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:43,799 consciousness okay and I think we make a 46 00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:46,530 mistake in dividing those things and it 47 00:01:50,929 --> 00:01:48,270 allows the physicalist actually some 48 00:01:52,609 --> 00:01:50,939 leverage when we do that and this is the 49 00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:52,619 mistake that Susan Blackmore makes in 50 00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:55,710 that she focuses only unconscious 51 00:02:00,620 --> 00:01:58,530 awareness as consciousness when I think 52 00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:00,630 we need to include both of them and this 53 00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:01,860 was actually mentioned yesterday and 54 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:03,060 I've already forgotten who talked about 55 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:05,250 it talked about having a broader notion 56 00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:07,200 of consciousness where where the whole 57 00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:10,140 human mental life whether it's above or 58 00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:12,720 below the liminal threshold is regarded 59 00:02:14,929 --> 00:02:13,260 as 60 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:14,939 conscious this consciousness and I think 61 00:02:19,130 --> 00:02:16,319 we need to address it that way and I'll 62 00:02:20,690 --> 00:02:19,140 explain why okay first of all I'm going 63 00:02:22,429 --> 00:02:20,700 to give you some remote viewing examples 64 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:22,439 because they'll illustrate my point and 65 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:25,170 plus you'll think they're cool I hope ok 66 00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:26,730 so this is the famous example from 67 00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:29,340 Stargate this was the famous typhoon 68 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:31,049 submarine session that Jill McMonagle 69 00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:33,120 did they were given a coordinate 70 00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:34,950 geographic coordinate and they started 71 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:36,780 describing this big building which was 72 00:02:40,130 --> 00:02:38,730 the goal now we know what the building 73 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:40,140 looked like we didn't know was going on 74 00:02:43,699 --> 00:02:41,970 inside of his this huge massive building 75 00:02:45,470 --> 00:02:43,709 the Soviets built in a shipyard Nicola 76 00:02:48,530 --> 00:02:45,480 Peninsula it's about a quarter of a mile 77 00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:48,540 from the water jasa they joined no and 78 00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:50,220 national security council was afraid 79 00:02:52,849 --> 00:02:51,420 they were building a fleet size aircraft 80 00:02:54,589 --> 00:02:52,859 carrier in there that's how big the 81 00:02:55,849 --> 00:02:54,599 building was ok and that would have 82 00:02:57,410 --> 00:02:55,859 changed the balance of power those are 83 00:03:00,589 --> 00:02:57,420 all kinds of worries about it so 84 00:03:02,119 --> 00:03:00,599 somebody on the council a staffer on the 85 00:03:05,059 --> 00:03:02,129 council knew about the RV program and 86 00:03:06,619 --> 00:03:05,069 tasked the program with trying to find 87 00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:06,629 out what was in the building so they 88 00:03:09,649 --> 00:03:07,920 described the building through these 89 00:03:11,210 --> 00:03:09,659 sketches and then once they had drawn 90 00:03:14,030 --> 00:03:11,220 convincing sketches of what the building 91 00:03:16,399 --> 00:03:14,040 look like and shown that through ESP 92 00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:16,409 they could recognize it they show them 93 00:03:19,369 --> 00:03:17,519 the picture of it and then they went on 94 00:03:22,129 --> 00:03:19,379 to describe the insides of it ok there's 95 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:22,139 actual building today thanks to is it 96 00:03:25,189 --> 00:03:23,760 perestroika the fall of the Berlin Wall 97 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:25,199 whatever we can now get pictures of 98 00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:27,690 these places ok there's the building 99 00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:30,209 again ok and there's a satellite view of 100 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:36,060 it ok there's a there's a viewer sketch 101 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:39,810 of it based on just RV sort of 102 00:03:43,729 --> 00:03:42,329 information and how it looks and then 103 00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:43,739 they said that inside this building are 104 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:45,599 these things that either are pregnant 105 00:03:51,289 --> 00:03:50,250 kazoos or submarines ok more diagram so 106 00:03:52,849 --> 00:03:51,299 I'm going to I'm going to kind of burn 107 00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:52,859 through these because I'm running short 108 00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:54,329 on time picture of what the inside of it 109 00:03:57,530 --> 00:03:55,769 actually looks as compared to hit what 110 00:04:00,979 --> 00:03:57,540 they sketched remember this is all RV 111 00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:00,989 data and you'll explain how significant 112 00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:02,819 that is in a minute ok again they 113 00:04:06,649 --> 00:04:04,319 describe this huge crane and all that 114 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:06,659 and then joven want to go drew this 115 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:08,250 sketch of the submarine and described it 116 00:04:12,469 --> 00:04:10,889 ok and he put the missile tubes in front 117 00:04:14,030 --> 00:04:12,479 of the sales the sale or the conning 118 00:04:15,649 --> 00:04:14,040 tower which at that time was heresy 119 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:15,659 considered heresy by naval architect 120 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:17,250 because you never put missile tubes in 121 00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:21,209 front of the sail on the sub because as 122 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:22,889 when you open the tubes the watered porn 123 00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:24,690 in right okay well anyway and he 124 00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:26,550 described this to this 125 00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:30,360 is being huge okay and here actually 126 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:32,430 shows you a picture of a typhoon tied up 127 00:04:38,029 --> 00:04:35,250 at the very dock many years later next 128 00:04:39,290 --> 00:04:38,039 to Kiev class whatever you want to call 129 00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:39,300 it surface combatant it's kind of an 130 00:04:42,379 --> 00:04:40,710 aircraft carrier and you can see that 131 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:42,389 sub is huge because this is an aircraft 132 00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:44,490 carrier sized vessel here and that sub 133 00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:49,440 is huge ok so anyway ten months after 134 00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:50,550 the last remote viewing session they 135 00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:52,830 floated out the typhoon the NSC had 136 00:04:55,969 --> 00:04:54,000 thought the remote viewing stuff was 137 00:04:58,159 --> 00:04:55,979 bogus nobody in the Western world knew 138 00:05:00,559 --> 00:04:58,169 what was in that building and yet when 139 00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:00,569 the sub came out they found out that it 140 00:05:03,890 --> 00:05:02,729 was exactly as Joe mcmonagle and the 141 00:05:06,350 --> 00:05:03,900 other viewer that worked on this had 142 00:05:08,149 --> 00:05:06,360 described it you can see how the 143 00:05:09,499 --> 00:05:08,159 computer there's a few differences but 144 00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:09,509 you can understand how those would be 145 00:05:12,379 --> 00:05:11,310 these are the things that were correct 146 00:05:14,450 --> 00:05:12,389 there are three to four submarines 147 00:05:16,159 --> 00:05:14,460 inside the building construction was of 148 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,169 a huge submarines tubes in front of sale 149 00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:18,240 I got one minute to go so if would be 150 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:19,830 launched in several months okay so 151 00:05:26,930 --> 00:05:24,000 here's some more examples you see how 152 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:26,940 close those come this is an ARV you 153 00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:28,050 wouldn't know what that was looking at 154 00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:30,300 it until you saw the feedback photo now 155 00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:32,909 I've got 13 sessions on the same target 156 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:35,039 at in different years all done 157 00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:38,610 double-blind ok so this target is thick 158 00:05:43,570 --> 00:05:41,310 gray structure colors involved gray 159 00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:43,580 brown and ochre that was the target 160 00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:45,870 here's another session on the same thing 161 00:05:51,589 --> 00:05:47,310 see the multiple structures here is 162 00:05:55,269 --> 00:05:51,599 showing whoops yeah also same color same 163 00:05:58,969 --> 00:05:55,279 consistencies and stuff there you go 164 00:06:00,830 --> 00:05:58,979 this one was quite striking tah also 165 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:00,840 talking about sandy and rocky ok the 166 00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:03,690 point of this is that all of these 167 00:06:07,159 --> 00:06:05,340 things these colors everything involved 168 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:07,169 qualia they involve conscious experience 169 00:06:10,249 --> 00:06:08,490 and yet that is emerging from the 170 00:06:11,899 --> 00:06:10,259 subconscious remote viewing is clearly 171 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:11,909 implicated in subconscious experience 172 00:06:16,999 --> 00:06:13,650 that stuff's coming up from it's time 173 00:06:20,059 --> 00:06:17,009 for Q&A ok so here's my final point two 174 00:06:22,129 --> 00:06:20,069 seconds ok according to black more 175 00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:22,139 consciousness vols perception cognition 176 00:06:25,129 --> 00:06:23,580 phenomenal experience intentionality the 177 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:25,139 RV shows that that stuff's going on 178 00:06:29,779 --> 00:06:27,810 below the liminal threshold as well we 179 00:06:32,330 --> 00:06:29,789 need to we specify consciousness to 180 00:06:33,790 --> 00:06:32,340 narrowly and limiting helps the 181 00:06:36,709 --> 00:06:33,800 physicalist by limiting our 182 00:06:38,540 --> 00:06:36,719 specification of consciousness and so 183 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:38,550 two ways ESP helps as evidence that's 184 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:40,090 physicalism is false 185 00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:41,530 and that specification of consciousness 186 00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:44,080 is too narrow we can support 187 00:07:05,159 --> 00:06:57,480 so information if you're interested here 188 00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:05,169 you go okay thank you very much thank 189 00:07:13,650 --> 00:07:11,380 you Paul Jim beekler i agree with almost 190 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:13,660 everything you say but i would go and I 191 00:07:16,409 --> 00:07:14,770 think you did a very good job some 192 00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:16,419 things you say I say my own writings but 193 00:07:21,659 --> 00:07:18,400 I would go a bit further and that you're 194 00:07:23,730 --> 00:07:21,669 talking about physicalism but there's a 195 00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:23,740 further separation physical world ah 196 00:07:28,260 --> 00:07:25,990 things that are material or physical but 197 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:28,270 not everything is physicals material we 198 00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:29,650 also have electromagnetic and 199 00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:30,910 gravitational fields which are 200 00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:34,150 completely physical but non material so 201 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:36,750 I would posit the consciousness is 202 00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:40,690 actually a field struck or life as a 203 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:43,240 field structure mind is electromagnetic 204 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:46,090 structure and conscious and self is 205 00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:48,330 magnetic potential structure a 206 00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:50,260 completely non material but still 207 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:53,500 physical okay first of all I agree if 208 00:07:59,159 --> 00:07:55,410 I'd had 45 minutes I take on further to 209 00:08:01,890 --> 00:07:59,169 ok but physicalism actually does include 210 00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:01,900 sy said energy matter and energy so 211 00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:04,479 physicalism materialism and physicalism 212 00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:06,849 is terms are almost isomorphic there are 213 00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:08,200 some nuances that I don't think make a 214 00:08:11,730 --> 00:08:09,910 big difference but but nonetheless 215 00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:11,740 physical physical isms kind of the 216 00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:14,440 modern term from materialism however I 217 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:16,030 would disagree with your premise about 218 00:08:20,969 --> 00:08:18,610 electromagnetism in mind all of the 219 00:08:23,190 --> 00:08:20,979 evidence the really strongly attested 220 00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:23,200 evidence seems to indicate that there is 221 00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:24,910 not that that there are non 222 00:08:28,890 --> 00:08:27,310 electromagnetic components to sy 223 00:08:30,570 --> 00:08:28,900 phenomenon and I think Dean would 224 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:30,580 probably support that we'll find out a 225 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:33,250 little bit there was a long series of 226 00:08:37,529 --> 00:08:35,169 experiments done at essar I some stuff 227 00:08:38,969 --> 00:08:37,539 done at saic where they tried to find 228 00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:38,979 out if there's an electromagnetic 229 00:08:43,290 --> 00:08:41,110 component to it and their final 230 00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:43,300 conclusion was that there is not oh it 231 00:08:52,050 --> 00:08:44,560 rustles up here would you agree with 232 00:08:56,139 --> 00:08:54,759 okay all right so anyway that's we could 233 00:08:57,970 --> 00:08:56,149 have a big debate about that and there 234 00:09:01,780 --> 00:08:57,980 are on-going debates but that would be 235 00:09:04,319 --> 00:09:01,790 my response to that so okay the other 236 00:09:08,170 --> 00:09:04,329 question yeah hi my name is Kenny Arnett 237 00:09:10,780 --> 00:09:08,180 I am very impressed with your analysis 238 00:09:12,129 --> 00:09:10,790 of causal chains and bears some 239 00:09:14,170 --> 00:09:12,139 resemblance to some things I've done in 240 00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:14,180 the past and I'd like to suggest to you 241 00:09:17,949 --> 00:09:15,470 that there are some other sources of 242 00:09:20,379 --> 00:09:17,959 white crows in addition to sigh and 243 00:09:23,379 --> 00:09:20,389 those would be the near death experience 244 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:23,389 after death communications and evidence 245 00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:25,970 of reincarnation okay so i think that 246 00:09:29,290 --> 00:09:27,529 there's more out there that we could 247 00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:29,300 bring into this kind of analysis it kind 248 00:09:34,269 --> 00:09:30,800 of depends on how you parse the word 249 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:34,279 sigh and when i use it i kind of include 250 00:09:38,350 --> 00:09:36,410 those things as well since we really 251 00:09:42,129 --> 00:09:38,360 don't know the etiology of those things 252 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:42,139 right I kind of embraced anything that 253 00:09:49,329 --> 00:09:44,690 seems to go beyond physical domain under 254 00:09:53,710 --> 00:09:49,339 the category okay another question Henry 255 00:09:56,740 --> 00:09:53,720 Bauer in a causal chain going from one
