1895: The Dynamics of Mind

by Henry Wood reprinted from ARENA, #LXIII February, 1895 In the light of recent psychical demonstrations, it has been said that thoughts are things, perhaps a more exact statement would be that they are forces. In physical science, the present trend of teaching is distinctly from the former accepted atomic basis, which included the solidity and potency of matter, towards a hypothesis in which energy is regarded as the underlying principle of all phenomena. Thus the atom, which has never been discovered, and is not likely to be, is no longer recognized as the real unit in the physical economy, energy being now accepted as the primal starting point. Manifestations to our senses, which we call light, heat and sound, are only differentiated modes […] Read More

Are We Lost In Virtual Realities

The Illusions and Dangers of Virtual Realities All of us would have free will to participate… In our past, before Time and Space were conditions, we as spirits lived in an environment that was very easy to contend with.

Naturally we did not have the faintest idea how all this would work out, but one thing was established – it meant […] Read More

Why I Am An Agnostic

In a popular way, in the western world, an agnostic is one who doubts or disbelieves the main tenets of the Christian faith. I would say that belief in at least three […] Read More

2001: Human versus ET Superpowers

THE SUPERPOWERS OF THE HUMAN BIOMIND vis a vis THE PROBABILITIES OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL SUPERPOWERS ORIENTATION and INTRODUCTORY Ingo Swann (08Feb01)  The first purpose of this Section 5 is to provide a function within this Website in which exploratory hypothesis and speculation can be indulged and expanded upon. This is in contrast to Section 1, the Ingo Swann Database Regarding the Biomind Superpowers, in which hypothesis and speculation are held to the minimum.  As most realize, HYPOTHESIS refers to “a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences,” and SPECULATION is defined as “to meditate on or ponder a subject.”  Speaking in the ideal, the basic function of hypothesis and speculation is not to make conclusions, but to […] Read More
