Description:
The video shown down bellow is about the mystery of Toynbee Tiles and why he was leaving strange tombstone markers around.
Connection:
The red flag that would go with this would be Read herring because the information is often misleading and know one 100% knows where and how this became to be. The reason for belief would be patternicity because people are finding meaning in these messages and making different assumptions. Applying critical thinking and skeptism to the video would be that this is not real its fake who would do that.A limitation with this video would be that its a movie but based on a true story. A flaw with this would be that someone could have been making up these markings on the ground to bring back the dead

Resurrect Dead (2011) Official HD Movie Trailer

# data[].attributes.body
Description:
In the video a boy in Africa had severe asthma and devolved TB and was told to go home and he had died on the way back home. A pastor was called and he said that he could resurrect him. The boy was dead for 24 hours and the pastor had brought him back from the dead.
Connection:
The video above has a man bringing a kid back from the dead after 24 hours Mystical Energy because this energy cant be easily explained how the kid was brought back to life. This event is unexplained because know one knows how the pastor brought the kid back to life after the kid was pronounced dead for 24 hours. Applying critical thinking and skepticism to this would be its just a miracle this took place that's even what most people would think. The limitations are that the kid wasn't getting the proper medical treatment. The flaws would be that the kid could have been in a coma like state.

Boy in Africa Raised From the Dead, after being dead for 24 hours!!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A boy in Africa was raised from the dead after being dead for 24 HOURS, by the POWER OF GOD!! Many people in his village accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, as a result, including the Dr. that worked on the boy before he died!

Description:
In this video it shows Jesus Christ resurrecting after he was crucified and was dead for 40 days then resurrected on the 40th day.
Connection:
The video is about Jesus Christ resurrecting from the dead. Mystical energy is the way to describe this because how did this just happen know one can explain it at all. This is a type of energy that human beings do not understand and don't have the knowledge to understand. The fact that Jesus Christ resurrected and came back from the dead is unexplained to this day. Applying critical thinking and skepticism would be how could this happen has it been proven that Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead aka atheists. The limitations are that who actually knows this happened the flaws with this is who actually witnessed this happened.

RESURRECTION - The most beautiful scene from the “Passion of the Christ”

# data[].attributes.body
Description:
This website is about scientists using stem cells to bring function back to a person that is diseased.
Connection:
The website shows scientists using stem cells to bring people back from the dead and the facts make this a form of ideology. The scientists go onto say this could break history and reverse the death process. This would be a great discovery for man kind because of the emotional connections that loved ones have for one another. Applying critical thinking and skepticism would be that messing with science is not a good idea and could be dangerous and the skeptics would say that this doesn't exist at all its impossible. The limitations could be that using all theses resources to do this would be costly. The flaws to this would be that we are disrupting a natural human thing and the end of this could be bad.

Death is a controversial subject in the medical field for many reasons. People rely on doctors to save them and their loved ones, but when fate has its way, the whole world can feel out of order. And while the death of a loved one may not feel final at first, we soon come to realize that, at least for the living who remain, it does mark an end.

That's why it seems like a controversial yet incredible move for a US biotechnology company called Bioquark to have been given permission to recruit 20 clinically dead patients and attempt to bring their central nervous systems back to life. They hope to eliminate patients' need to rely on machines by reanimating parts of the upper spinal cord, where the lower brain stem is located, to potentially energize vital body functions like breathing and heartbeats.

Trial participants will have been declared certified dead and kept alive solely through life support machines. "This represents the first trial of its kind and another step towards the eventual reversal of death in our lifetime," said CEO of Bioquark Inc., Ira Pastor. The team, who was granted ethical permission from an Institutional Review Board at the National Institutes of Health in the US and India to begin trials on 20 subjects, is looking to recruit patients for its ReAnima Project as soon as possible.

The team will first complete a phase 1 trial, referred to as a non-randomized, proof-of-concept study. This will determine whether or not they are capable of reversing clinical brain death through drug administration, nerve stimulation, and laser therapy. They'll also be looking at whether or not they can affect any changes in the meninges of the brain, layers of tissue located between the skull and the surface of the brain. Specifically, the team will be investigating improvements in the patients' pulse, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and respiration.

The team will first seek permission from the families of the clinically dead, and then will proceed to treat the 20 chosen individuals over a six-week period in Anupam Hospital in Rudrapur, India. These will then be monitored for several months, where the researchers will determine if any changes have been made. "We hope to see results within the first two to three months," Pastor said.

To attempt to bring the patients back from the dead, Bioquark has administered four different types of treatments, which include:

Injecting simple protein chains called peptides into the patients' spinal cord on a daily basis.

Injecting stem cells into their brains twice weekly.

Using the non-invasive treatment called transcranial laser therapy to activate the body's natural recovery processes.

Using another non-invasive technique called nerve stimulation, which involves delivering electrical impulses to the median nerve of the upper limb.

"To undertake such a complex initiative, we are combining biologic regenerative medicine tools with other existing medical devices typically used for stimulation of the central nervous system, in patients with other severe disorders of consciousness," Pastor noted.

The researchers are hoping that, if they can get patients' brains to work again, and since many clinically dead can retain certain functions, like processing waste, digesting nutrients, healing wounds, and growing and maturing, people will have the chance to regain some semblance of life. But for now, the team is just trying to take it one step at a time.

"It is a long-term vision of ours that a full recovery in such patients is a possibility, although that is not the focus of this first study - but it is a bridge to that eventuality," Pastor said.

And Sergei Pavlian, founder and president of Bioquark Inc., added:

Through our study, we will gain unique insights into the state of human brain death, which will have important connections to future therapeutic development for other severe disorders of consciousness, such as coma, and the vegetative and minimally conscious states, as well as a range of degenerative CNS conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease," said Sergei Paylian, the founder and chief science officer of Bioquark.

"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness." - Max Planck, the originator of Quantum theory.

A recent article in Scientific American touched on quantum physics, and what it may reveal to us about the true nature of reality. The piece brings up the famous double slit experiment, one that's been repeated for more than two hundred years. In the experiment, pieces of matter (photons, electrons etc...) are shot towards a screen that has two slits in it. On the other side of the screen, a video camera records where each piece of matter lands. When scientists close one slit, the camera will show us an expected pattern, but when both slits are open, an "interference pattern" emerges and they begin to act like waves, a representation of multiple possibilities. You can watch a visual demonstration of the experiment here.

Basically, it means each photon individually goes through both slits at the same time and interferes with itself, but it also goes through one slit, and it goes through the other, it also goes through neither of them. The single piece of matter becomes a "wave" of potentials, expressing itself as multiple possibilities, which is why we get the interference pattern. How can a single piece of matter exist and express itself in multiple states without any physical properties until it is measured or observed?

The article in Scientific American states, "some have even used it (the double slit experiment) to argue that the quantum world is influenced by human consciousness, giving our minds an agency and a place in the ontology of the universe. But does this simple experiment really make such a case?"

I stopped reading there for the simple fact that it's not only this experiment but hundreds, if not thousands of other studies within the realms of quantum physics and parapsychology that clearly show that at some degree, our physical material reality is influenced by consciousness, in more ways than one, and this is not really trivial or a mere interpretation...

This is emphasized by a number of researchers who have conducted the experiment, as well as all of the founding people of quantum theory. A paper published in Physics Essays, for example, explains how the experiment has been used a number of times to explore the role of consciousness in shaping the nature of physical reality, it concluded that factors associated with consciousness "significantly" correlated in predicted ways with perturbations in the double-slit interference pattern. Again, here, scientists affected the results of the experiment by simply observing it.

Observation not only disturbs what has to be measured, they produce it. We compel the electron to assume a definite position, We ourselves produce the results of the measurement."

The paper showed that meditators were able to collapse quantum systems at a distance through intention alone. The lead author of the study points out that a "5 sigma" result was able to give CERN the Nobel Prize in 2013 for finding the Higgs particle (which turned out not to be Higgs after all). In this study, they also received a 5 sigma result when testing meditators against non-meditators in collapsing the quantum wave function. This means that mental activity, the human mind, attention, and intention, which are a few labels under the umbrella of consciousness, compelled physical matter to act in a certain way.

Perhaps the strongest point to illustrate the fact that consciousness and our physical material reality are intertwined are black budget special access program studies that have been conducted by multiple governments worldwide for decades. In these programs, various phenomena are studied within the realms of quantum physics and parapsychology and have been confirmed, tested and used in the field. We're talking about telepathy, remote viewing and much more. There are even classified documents pertaining to human beings with special abilities, who are able to alter physical material matter using their mind, as well as peer-reviewed research, here's one example. There is also the health connection, the placebo effect, and the mind-body connection which further prove that consciousness and physical material reality are intertwined. When it comes to parapsychology, the science behind it is stronger than the science we used to approve some of our medications...( source)

This is precisely why the American Institutes for Research concluded:

The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Arguments that these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted. Effects of similar magnitude to those found in government-sponsored research at SRI and SAIC have been replicated at a number of laboratories across the world. Such consistency cannot be readily explained by claims of flaws or fraud.

It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to consciousness. - Eugene Wigner, theoretical physicist and mathematician

There is also distant healing, and studies conducted showing what human attention can do to not just a piece of matter, but to another human body. If you want to learn more about this kind of thing, a great place to start is at The Institute of Noetic Sciences. I recently wrote about a study that found healing energy was able to be stored and treat cancer cells, you can read more about that here.

There is no doubt about it, consciousness does have an effect on our physical material world, what type of effect is not as well understood, but we know there is one and it shouldn't really be called into question, especially by in an article published in Scientific American.

At the end of the nineteenth century, physicists discovered empirical phenomena that could not be explained by classical physics. This led to the development, during the 1920s and early 1930s, of a revolutionary new branch of physics called quantum mechanics (QM). QM has questioned the material foundations of the world by showing that atoms and subatomic particles are not really solid objects-they do not exist with certainty at definite spatial locations and definite times. Most importantly, QM explicitly introduced the mind into its basic conceptual structure since it was found that particles being observed and the observer-the physicist and the method used for observation-are linked. According to one interpretation of QM, this phenomenon implies that the consciousness of the observer is vital to the existence of the physical events being observed, and that mental events can affect the physical world. The results of recent experiments support this interpretation. These results suggest that the physical world is no longer the primary or sole component of reality, and that it cannot be fully understood without making reference to the mind. - Dr Gary Schwartz, Dr. Gary Schwartz, professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, psychiatry, and surgery at the University of Arizona

How Does This Apply To Our Lives & Our World In General?

This kind of thing has moved beyond just simple interpretation, and we also have examples from the black budget, like the STARGATE program, and real-world examples that what is discovered at the quantum scale is indeed important and relevant, and does apply in many cases to larger scales. People with 'special abilities' as mentioned above is one example, and technology that utilized quantum physics is another example, like the ones this Ex Lockheed executive describes, or this one. This type of stuff moved out of the theoretical realm a long time ago, yet again, it's not really acknowledged. Another example would be over-unity energy, which utilized the non-physical properties of physical matter. You can read more and find out more information about that machine, here and here.

What we have today, is scientific dogma.

The modern scientific worldview is predominantly predicated on assumptions that are closely associated with classical physics. Materialism-the idea that matter is the only reality-is one of these assumptions. A related assumption is a reductionism, the notion that complex things can be understood by reducing them to the interactions of their parts, or to simpler or more fundamental things such as tiny material particles. During the 19th century, these assumptions narrowed, turned into dogmas, and coalesced into an ideological belief system that came to be known as "scientific materialism." This belief system implies that the mind is nothing but the physical activity of the brain and that our thoughts cannot have any effect on our brains and bodies, our actions, and the physical world. - Lisa Miller, Ph.D., Columbia University.

So, why is this not acknowledge or established? That consciousness clearly has an effect on our physical material reality? Because, simply, we're going against belief systems here. This and other types of discoveries bring into play and confirm a metaphysical reality, one that's been ridiculed by many, especially authoritarian figures, for years.

When something questions our collective established beliefs, no matter how repeatable the results, it's always going to be greeted with false claims and harsh reactions, we're simply going through that transition now.

Despite the unrivalled empirical success of quantum theory, the very suggestion that it may be literally true as a description of nature is still greeted with cynicism, incomprehension and even anger.(T. Folger, "Quantum Shmantum"; Discover 22:37-43, 2001)

Today, it's best to keep an open mind, as new findings are destroying what we previously thought to be true. The next step for science is taking a spiritual leap, because that's what quantum physics is showing us, and it's clearly far from a mere interpretation. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions, perceptions and more all influence physical reality. This is why it's so important to focus on our own state of being, feeling good, and in the simplest form, just being a nice person.

The very fact that these findings have metaphysical and spiritual revelations is exactly what forces one to instantaneously throw the 'pseudoscience' label at it. Instead of examining and addressing the evidence, the skeptic uses ridicule to de-bunk something they do not believe in, sort of like what mainstream media tends to do these days quite a bit.

So why is this significant? Well, it's significant because planet Earth is made up of a huge collection of billions of minds. If consciousness does have an effect on our physical material reality, that means in some sense, we are all co-creating our human experience here. We are responsible for the human experience and what happens the on the planet, because we are all, collectively, creating it.

That doesn't mean that if we all collectively have a thought, it will manifest into existence right away, it. simply means mind influences matter in various ways that we don't quite understand yet. If everybody thought the Earth was flat, would it actually be flat? These are the questions we are approaching as we move forward.

When our perception of reality changes, our reality begins to change. When we become aware of something, when we observe what is going on, and when we have paradigm-shifting revelations, these mental shifts bring about a physical change in our human experience. Even in our own individual lives, our emotional state, physical state, state of well being and how we perceive reality around us can also influence what type of human experience we create for ourselves. The experience can also change, depending on how you look at it.

Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change.

There is a very spiritual message that comes from quantum physics, and it's not really an interpretation.

"Broadly speaking, although there are some differences, I think Buddhist philosophy and Quantum Mechanics can shake hands on their view of the world. We can see in these great examples the fruits of human thinking. Regardless of the admiration we feel for these great thinkers, we should not lose sight of the fact that they were human beings just as we are.

- The Dalai Lama ( source)

As many of you reading this will know, 99.99 percent of an atom is empty space, but we've recently discovered that it's actually not empty space, but is full of energy. This is not debatable and trivial, and we can now effectively use and harness that energy and turn it into electrical energy, which is exactly is discussed in this article if you go through the whole thing, it proves sufficient evidence. Read carefully.

Change Starts Within

When I think about this stuff, it really hits home that change does really start within, that we as human beings are co-creators, and together we can change this world any time we choose to do so. Metaphysics and spirituality represent the next scientific revolution, and it all boils down to humanity as a collective and as individuals finding our inner peace, losing our buttons so they can't be pushed, and to just overall be good people.

Science can only take us so far, intuition, gut feelings, emotions and more will all be used to decipher truth more accurately in the future.

Today, we've lost our connection to spirituality, this connection was replaced long ago with belief systems have been given to us in the form of religion to the point where society is extremely separated when it comes to 'what is.' If we are all believing something different, and constantly arguing and conflicting instead of coming together and focusing on what we have in common to create a better world, then we have a problem....Especially if you think about the fact that we are all collectively co-creating.

We've been programmed to see the world a different way than what it actually is. We are living an illusion and quantum physics is one of many areas that can snap us out of that illusion if not restricted and conclusions labelled as mere interpretations.

I fail to realize how the spirituality emerging from quantum physics is a mere interpretation and see this as a tactic used by the elite to simply keep us in the same old world paradigm. I believe this is done deliberately.

Once we wake up and realize the power of human consciousness, we would be much more cautious of our thoughts, we would be much more focused on growing ourselves spirituality, and we would realize that greed, ego, fear and separation are completely useless and unnecessary.

Service to others is key, and it's important that our planet and our 'leadership' here solely be focused on serving all of humanity. Right now, that's not the case, but we are in the midst of a great change, one that has been taking place over a number of years, but on a cosmic scale, it's happening in an instant. It's interesting because the world is waking up to the illusions that have guided our actions, to the brainwashing, and to the false information. Our collective consciousness is shifting, and we are creating a new human experience

Time travel is one of those fun topics that triggers visions of a young Michael J. Fox racing through time, literally, in the DeLorean, or Bill and Ted reliving famous moments in history thanks to their time-travelling phone booth. However, time travel isn't just a movie plot line. It's a real scientific phenomenon. Einstein's theory of special relativity, after all, tells us that time slows down or speeds up depending on how fast you are moving relative to something else. So, we are all travelling through time on a daily basis. But it gets much spookier than that. Here are five real-world examples of time travel.

Astronauts

Time travellers are walking around on planet Earth right now. And they work for NASA! Astronauts who spend time on the International Space Station or long rocket trips out in our solar system age slightly slower than the rest of us down here. Not enough to notice, but enough to measure ( 100 years of time in space equals one-second forward in time). That means astronauts are not just space travellers, but time travellers, too. For those who believe that aliens are visiting planet Earth in speedy spaceships, the evidence for time travel could even extend to UFO videos and photos of advanced, inter-dimensional craft, because if Earth's astronauts are able to travel through time, more advanced extraterrestrial astronauts should be able to as well.

Jack Kasher, Ph.D, a professor emeritus of physics at the University of Nebraska, points out that "there is another way, whether it's wormholes or warping space, there's got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum,and the fact that they're here shows us that they found a way." ( source)

The Science Lab

Time travel was once just a math equation jotted down on a notepad, a conversation topic over coffee, or the center of a sci-fi movie plot. But today time travel is a serious scientific study. In one recent experiment, Washington State University physicists were able to slow down the movement of particles so much that "negative mass" was created, causing the particles to accelerate forward when they were pushed away. The physicists concluded that the particles went backward in time! As well, physicists at the University of Queensland in Australia were able to make a single photon, or particle of light, go through a wormhole and interact with its older self on the other side.

There is also what's called the delayed choice experiment. the delayed choice experiment illustrates how what happens in the present can change what happens(ed) in the past. It also shows how time can go backwards, how cause and effect can be reversed, and how the future caused the past. You can read more about that here.

Remote Viewers and Psychics

Scientists have yet to find a way for the human body to safely travel through time, but they may have figured out a way for the human mind to travel through time. According to Wikipedia, remote viewing is "the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target" using extrasensory perception, or ESP. In 1984, under the top-secret cover of the Stargate Project, the CIA conducted an experiment where they asked a human subject to remote view Mars in ancient times. Ingo Swann, a famed psychic who was part of the Stargate Project, claimed to have astral projected to Jupiter.

Here's one of the most recent, heavily sources articles CE published on Remote Viewing.

Psychics are more well-known than remote viewers. They seem to be everywhere, and come in all varieties, from the TV show host to the fortune teller to your aunt. Some police departments even hire psychics to help locate missing bodies. Then there are revered psychics like Edgar Cayce and religious figures like Jesus Christ who have made bold and incredible predictions about the future that all came true.

Dreams That Come True

It's possible that every time we drift off to sleep, we have the potential to drift off to a different time and space. At least in our minds. Many people relate to the experience of having a premonition in a dream, and in fact, many have gone on record about their foreshadowing dream (or nightmare). For example, Jo Jo Billingsley, a vocalist for the 1970s band Lynard Skynard, dreamed about her band mates suffering in a plane crash the night before it happened. There was also the case of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, who reportedly dreamed about his death a few nights before he was assassinated.

Here is a more detailed article we've written on precognitive dreaming. Here is another one on dream telepathy.

Remembering Past Lives

The belief in reincarnation is an ancient one. Along with reincarnation comes the belief in past lives. But for some, it's much more than a belief. Some people remember their past lives, starting from a young age like Sam Taylor, who shared memories with his late grandfather, or more commonly, after a hypnotherapy session. If it's possible for the human brain to view a past life and learn from past life experience, then maybe the human brain is the best time machine of all.

Because most of us can't time travel, the subject matter continues to hang out in sci-fi books and movies and doesn't factor into our day-to-day reality. However, if time travel is real, the implications for humanity are really great. Time travel could explain other mysterious phenomena, like ghosts, UFOs, and even the Mandela Effect. Time travel could also motivate mankind to open up its mind to a new universe of possibility, where the secrets of the future and past are revealed. It can be argued that it's only a matter of time before humanity unlocks the secret powers of time travel.

The Takeaway

There is still a lot we don't know, and a lot of our most interesting science is locked away within black budget programs. We are capable of so much and still have so much to discover about our reality and ourselves. When the human race is ready and our intentions shift to looking at ourselves as a whole, perhaps then these 'knowing' will be ready to be utilized by the public.

Precognition, is it real? If you examine the research that's been published in this field, from peer-reviewed publications and controlled experiments, combined with the declassified literature from parapsychology programs from multiple governments around the world, the evidence for the ability of humans to accurately predict future events is overwhelming to the point where I am not sure why it would or could be considered 'pseudoscience'. But given the current parameters of science, it's understandable, and from this perspective, the evidence may not be 'overwhelming,' but you can decide that for yourself.

So what exactly is precognition? It's essentially the ability to have a premonition of a future event that could not otherwise be anticipated through any known process.

The current parameters of science definitely need to be changed and adjusted, they allow for an observed phenomenon, although sometimes unexplainable, to be completely disregarded, no matter how many times it's replicated or performed under controlled experiments. This is a result of scientific dogma, rules and laws of science that have been set in place and seem to stay there due to the fact that new concepts of reality simply disrupt belief systems. Take the concept of metaphysical realms for example, the implications and realizations of these realms, if confirmed, would result in a complete worldview paradigm shift and perhaps the disruption of multiple religious teachings. That being said, a lot of religion and ancient eastern philosophy does not argue against these realms but speak of them too.

"There seems to be a deep concern that the whole field will be tarnished by studying a phenomenon that is tainted by its association with superstition, spiritualism and magic. Protecting against this possibility sometimes seems more important than encouraging scientific exploration or protecting academic freedom. But this may be changing."
- Cassandra Vieten, PhD and President/CEO at the Institute of Noetic Sciences ( source)

When it comes to precognition, the new study recently published by scientists at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) examines multiple, scientifically controlled experiments that have yielded significant results. They examined multiple areas of research, multiple studies and meta-analysis showing how the scientific evidence for pre-cognition is measurable and continues to grow.

The authors are careful in their writing, pointing out the observed effects:

If positive empirical evidence continues to accumulate, especially if the methodological recommendations suggested by ourselves and others are followed, then a time may come when we are forced to think the unthinkable. Indeed, the implications of retrocausation are so remote from engrained ways of thinking that the first reaction to this line of research is that it must be flawed. The second reaction may be horror that it represents a previously unaccepted fact about reality. ( source)

The authors provide further studies within this one for the reader's consideration, so be sure to check them out. But the above point is great, perhaps it is our fear of such confirmations that holds us back?

Another interesting concept discussed in the study is time, as you cannot really have a discussion about pre-cognition without the concept of time. When you think about pre-cognition, as with most parapsychological areas of study, you also have to consider quantum physics, because these two disciplines are deeply related to each other. Studies conducted over the years in quantum physics alone has shown how human intention, and other factors associated with consciousness, can and do interact with our physical material reality.

When we talk about future events, and time, if we look at matter on a quantum scale, future events are represented as a wave of possibilities, and don't really manifest as physical matter until we, the observer, click it into existence with our own consciousness. In 2007 ( Science 315, 966, 2007), scientists in France shot photons into an apparatus and showed that their actions could retroactively change something which had already happened.

"If we attempt to attribute an objective meaning to the quantum state of a single system, curious paradoxes appear: quantum effects mimic not only instantaneous action-at-a-distance, but also, as seen here, influence of future actions on past events, even after these events have been irrevocably recorded." - Asher Peres, a pioneer in quantum information theory ( source)( source)( source)

So, the concept of time, which is intertwined with the precognition phenomena, is very important to acknowledge, even if we can't really understand it because it's so puzzling. What happened in the past can change the future, and what happens in the future can change the past.

Apart from the scientific literature, I also mentioned the Department of Defence programs. Dr. Paul Smith, one of the army personnel involved in the STARGATE program writes in his book, The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing: The Secret Military Remote Perception Skill Anyone Can Learn, about an event where he was involved in successfully predicting future events for the Department of Defence. This was all part of the remote viewing program, which allows one person to perceive and describe the physical characteristics of a location when they are only given the location coordinates. It's been used a number of times for intelligence collection, as shown by the declassified literature. In 2014, Smith also published a study in the journal of scientific exploration about stock market prediction using remote viewing. (Smith C. C., Laham D., Moddel J. (2014). Stock market prediction using associative remote viewing by inexperienced remote viewers. J. Sci. Explor. 28, 7-16).

So, along with all of the scientifically controlled experiments, it's also important to consider time, and all of the functions parapsychology has served, and mostly still do serve in the black budget world, especially when we are talking about pre-cognition. This area of government study is something that the peer-reviewed studies don't really refer to much as a tool of evidence.

I also published an article a few years ago about a study (meta analysis) in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience titled " Predicting the unpredictable: critical analysis and practical implications of predictive anticipatory activity " which examined a number of experiments regarding this phenomenon that were conducted by several different laboratories.

These experiments indicate that the human body can actually detect randomly delivered stimuli that occur 1-10 seconds in advance. In other words, the human body seems to know of an event, and reacts to an event that has yet to occur. What occurs in the human body before these events are physiological changes that are measured regarding the cardiopulmonary, the skin, and the nervous system.

More than 40 experiments investigating this phenomenon in humans have been published over the past 36 years (including: Hartwell, 1978; Radin et al., 1995, 2011; Bierman and Radin, 1997; Radin, 1997, 2004; Don et al., 1998; Bierman, 2000; Bierman and Scholte, 2002; McDonough et al., 2002; Spottiswoode and May, 2003; McCraty et al., 2004a, b; Sartori et al., 2004; May et al., 2005; Tressoldi et al., 2005, 2009, 2011; Radin and Borges, 2009; Bradley et al., 2011). This is what promoted the meta-analysis.

The analysis concluded that:

"The predictive physiological anticipation of a truly randomly selected and thus unpredictable future event, has been under investigation for more than three decades, and a recent conservative meta-analysis suggests that the phenomenon is real."

Takeaway

Humans with 'special abilities' have been reported throughout history, here's an example straight from the CIA's electronic reading room. The point is, we can use these concepts to develop techniques to improve our lives, and the lives of all life on planet Earth. Perhaps we will one day be able to perceive future events that are not in humanities best interest and then take steps to change that potential future. I believe those who possess gifts for perceiving the future might be picking up on potential timelines, sort of like the wave of potentials in the quantum double slit experiment.

The main takeaway is that we have many more abilities that we've been made to believe, and still some we have yet to discover. At the end of the day, it's the consciousness behind these discoveries that determine whether or not they will be used by humanity. It's just like technology, do we weaponize it or use it for the overall good of humanity?

Scientists Receive Green Light To "Resurrect The Dead" Using Stem Cells

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Death is a controversial subject in the medical field for many reasons. People rely on doctors to save them and their loved ones, but when fate has its way, the whole world can feel out of order. And while the death of a loved one may not feel final at first, we soon come to realize [...]

Description:
In the website instead of bringing people back from the dead these people decided to make real life virtual digital holograms of the deceased people.
Connection:
I see this as a confirmation bias as the red flag for this website because some people favor this and are for it 100% but other people find this offensive but ultimately this is a one way kind of thing. The fact that people are making holograms of people to make it seem like they are living is kind of weird. The belief that goes well with this is Emotional connection because the fact that you can still have a part of a loved one in a hologram is really heartwarming. Applying critical thinking and skepticism would be that we have the technology to do things like this but the person in a hologram will never act the same as a person did. The limitations would be the cost just to make one hologram of a person with the same futures and the same way the person acted. The flaw would be that the person isn't real even though its very heartwarming to see this it may make people more sad then then are.

Progress in photorealistic 3D avatar technology, voice synthesis, augmented reality and artificial intelligence, at large, should make it possible within 30 years to bring the dearly departed back to life.

Let's first agree on the terminology. Of course, there's no such thing as resurrecting someone for real, but if we limit ourselves to the way someone looks, acts, walks, talks, reacts, laughs and other visual and sound-related traits, then we might not be that far from the day we can digitally revive the dead (or duplicate any living person for that matter).

Generating a Photorealistic 3D Avatar

Digital artists can already create an almost photorealistic digital 3D avatar out of any deceased person, provided there are enough pictures and video materials available. This is how Tupac's sort-of hologram avatar was created for the 2012 Coachella music festival.

In 2013, a team from the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies disclosed a process whereby a human face can be scanned by a set of digital cameras and photorealistically reconstructed in real time onscreen. The result is mind-blowing and even scary.

It definitely speaks for itself, you can watch it here.

These first two examples, give impressive results but are still quite time consuming and expensive. The USC team went further down the road of affordability and found a way last year to reconstruct someone's body onscreen in real time with a $100 Microsoft Kinect camera. The avatar is assigned the usual human degrees of freedom and given the ability to move, run and jump, as can be seen here.

Given the state of the art and current rate of improvement, it's quite likely that within 30 years a few pictures of someone will suffice to recreate a 3D avatar so realistic that it will be hard (if not impossible) to tell who's who.

And given enough video materials of someone, deep learning algorithms will be able to one day dissect each body movement and understand the way that person laughs, sneezes, smiles, stands, walks, and so on, in order to make the avatar behave the same in relevant situations. This has to do with computer vision technology which is improving really fast: AI can now recognize cats in pictures among many another concepts (don't miss the Ted talk "How we're teaching computers to understand pictures").

When data is missing, relatives will be able to fill the void by simply trying to impersonate their departed loved one by mimicking specific gestures: their moves will be recorded and applied to the avatar in appropriate circumstances. This has been done for quite some time already in movies. Watch, for instance, how Gollum's behavior is generated from Andy Serkis's acting in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films.

But this in itself is not enough to talk of resurrection, even given our aforementioned definition. A photoreal avatar that can move in a credible way has yet to be endowed with the proper tone of voice and personality to be worthy of our full consideration.

Voice Synthesis

After 30 years of research and development, the European company Acapela has developed software to recreate your voice with its particular tone. All you need to do is recite a list of 1500 sentences. This can be done from your laptop over the internet using a basic headset. The tech is aimed at patients about to lose their voice and who would rather keep using their own voice rather than a robotic one.

I've tried it, and it's a jaw-dropping experience to hear yourself speaking text you've never read! (Learn more by clicking here.) The result isn't yet perfect, and the intonation isn't always right, but the potential is clear: We're headed towards a world where your voice could be used to say anything in any language-and could, of course, eventually be used in a digitally resurrected avatar. (On the other hand, it also means we'll have to make double sure we know who we're on the phone with!)

Back to our quest: Getting a 3D avatar to talk smoothly using a synthesized voice is quite a feat in terms of lip and tongue synchronization. Microsoft Research has been doing well in this regard since at least 2011. Using a Kinect and a normal camera, researchers film a human guinea pig while reciting text for 20 minutes. Speech is then broken into phonemes tied to the corresponding lip/tongue movements, and a photoreal face is reconstructed on screen. Using machine learning, the face can be made to say any text in real time, with lips and tongue moving realistically to generate the flow of words ( see this video, starting at 1:10).

Again, it's likely that 30 years from now, it will be possible to recreate a voice perfectly from a few minutes of recording-this will give an avatar of you or a deceased loved one the ability to speak.

Using AI to Bring Back Personality

Tremendous progress in AI will allow us to create an avatar that talks and reacts just as we would have.

The AI will need to be fed as much information as possible about the person to be resurrected: What she's read, seen, done, learned, listened to, watched, searched, where's she's been, who she's met, talked to, and so on. The more information, the more accurate the emulation. Services such as Facebook or Google which know a whole lot about us will be in a prime position to supply this data.

That information will be paired to AI's future ability to "understand" human language well enough to hold a discussion.

In 2011, IBM's Watson program defeated the best human players at Jeopardy ( see video), a game which requires to understand double meanings and the subtlety of human spoken language. Watson is now used for medical purposes and is better at diagnosing cancer than doctors with years of experience.

Ray Kurzweil, a director of engineering at Google, is known for the accuracy of his futuristic predictions, many of which have come true ( Wikipedia). He was quoted saying in 2014: "In 2029, computers will be more intelligent than we are and will be able to understand what we say, learn from experience, make jokes, tell stories and even flirt."

Again, given the rate of progress, it's quite likely that before 30 years AI will be able to interact with us in a very natural and human way. With enough data from a deceased person, AI will eventually be able to emulate her personality almost perfectly and say things she could have credibly uttered. AI will be able to understand context, sense who's around, and talk about specific topics accordingly (i.e., we don't talk about the same things and behave the same with all of our relatives).

If anything, the challenge will be to make sure AI doesn't lose credibility by being too smart or too knowledgeable. Because my late brother had read a book, for example, doesn't mean he remembered each and every sentence of it.

Entrepreneur Martine Rothblatt has created a talking head that looks like her wife and loaded it with her "memories, thoughts and feelings." Though still a little creepy looking, perhaps, the head is able to entertain a conversation. The video:

It's still a prototype prone to gibbering, but Rothblatt says, "Such functional mind clones are 10-20 years away. Am I breaking a law of physics here? Am I talking about defying gravity here? No. Am I talking about going faster than light? No. All I am doing here is talking about writing some good code."

AI will get it wrong sometimes and say unexpected things, but we'll be able to give feedback, and over time, it could reach near-perfection and become basically indistinguishable from the real person.

Augmented Reality

Now, what about projecting that digital photoreal avatar of a late loved one into the real world beyond screens? This is the promise of augmented reality, a field which is just about to boom.

Microsoft may lead the way with its HoloLens device. With HoloLens, you'll be able to see a digital toucan land on your armchair for instance ( see animation). The April 2015 demo shows perfectly how avatars and other virtual objects could be added seamlessly to real life ( see the 2 min video).

Bringing Loved Ones Back to Life Digitally...

So, consider this: We may live long enough to experience a 3D photoreal digital avatar of a loved one we lost, able to move in front of us and converse with us in a perfectly realistic manner. The more pics, videos, audio recordings and information about her, the better the rendering. This won't bring anyone's soul or body back for real, but heck, I'd argue it's still a better way to remember our departed ones than what we have now.

And beyond talk of resurrection, these technologies promise to utterly disrupt the way we communicate and are entertained. So, let's fasten our seatbelts, and enjoy the ride!

Resurrecting the Dead-Bringing Back the Dearly Departed Digitally

Description:
This is a picture of an old movie and this guy in the picture used body parts and electricity to bring someone back to life and is a fictional movie which is called Frankenstein.
Connection:
This movie has been very popular for a while and has been making people think if this is possible. The red flag that applies to this would be Red herring because its almost like the government used this movie as a distraction and not to let the public know what they are really doing. The belief for this picture would be perception/observation because we can perceive that this is possible but when we observe whats going on in the picture its not even possible for this to happen. Applying critical thinking and skepticism to this picture would be that we all know this isn't possible but skeptics may believe that in some way it is. The limitations are the fact that the person in the picture is using lightning from the sky collecting that in that time period would be very hard. The flaws are that you are messing with nature and consequences are not known.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I learned so much about my topic that I didn't know that the government is doing things to try and bring people back.
2) This topic is relevant to me because I like to know things that most people don't know just like when my grandfather was pronounced dead for 5 minutes and they had revived him and brought him back.
3) The research that I found most interesting was the scientists using stem cells to bring people back from the dead.
4) as mentioned in 3 about the stem cells to bring people back.
5) I think the unexplained is the most harmful and the Perception/Observation is the least harmful.
6) The information I would pass onto a family member would be not to mess with science because we do not know the consequences this could bring.

Description:
This is a picture of a person doing dark magic to resurrect someone from the dead.
Connection:
Many people believe in dark magic and the dark arts and use it to their advantage. The red flag for this would be Proof by verbosity  because of the facts that people have gathered about dark magic the claims must be true that dark magic exists its just how? The belief would be Patternicity because some people find no meaning in this but other people find meaning in this picture. Applying critical thinking and skepticism this picture is what someone doing dark arts would be portrayed as doing but skeptics would say its just a form of art. The limitations are that dark magic is something that you seal you life away to a higher power its not something you would want to do. The flaws people could just be making this up to make people scared

Description:
This is a picture from a really famous movie about zombies  made by George A Romero made in 1968.
Connection:
This movie is obviously fiction but the dead coming back to life and eating people as zombies has got me wondering about what the Bible says about judgement day. The red flag in this picture would be Appeal to authority because the advertisement of the movie had people believing that zombies really do exist. The belief is Agenticity because zombies are something that humans really know nothing about they are unknown. Applying critical thinking and skepticism people believe that one day its says in the Bible that we will all be judged and many people believe that zombies just might be the thing to happen. The skeptics believe that the Bible is fake and none of what the Bible says exists. The limitations are the fact that in the movie zombies eat people but we don't know much about this yet and the government wont tell people even if they existed. The flaw would be that zombies are resurrected people since the body doesn't get and vitamins the body would just decay.

Description:
In this website the person goes on talking about if this is voodoo or witchcraft to bring someone back from the dead.
Connection:
The person goes onto say that its not witchcraft or voodoo but more or less human kind getting smarter because the government wants to try and freeze people in a ice bath to preserve them and try to bring them back to life. The red flag for this would be Appeal to Authority because its the scientists and the government doing this and furthering our knowledge. The belief is Ideology because the government has set out how they can implement this and make it work. Applying critical thinking and skepticism this can be possible to freeze people to preserve them or bring them back but skeptics would say that this cant be possible. The limitations are the cost of this and the flaws are the fact we are messing with the course of nature we don't know the outcome.

It may sound like delectable science fiction or a harrowing nightmare (depending on your mood) but Alcor is in the business of resurrecting the dead.

But this is neither voodoo nor witchcraft, a deal with the devil or a neo-messianic delusion-this is cryonics, the induced "suspended animation" of a corpse. The dream is to perfectly preserve a just-dead body in order to revive it in the future when medicine has taken the necessary leaps, bounds and discoveries. Which it will. The question is whether or not said medicine will be able to address the vision Alcor is after.

The story goes that in 1972, Max More, president and CEO of Alcor, started hanging out with friends and, as people are wont to do, holding meetings about futurism. More says that one glance at Cryonics Magazine was all he needed. "It just made sense to me right away."

What began as a book- The Prospect of Immortality -written in 1964 by Robert Ettinger (a physics teacher) has since evolved into a full-blown nonprofit formally named the Alcor Life Extension Foundation. While the website insists that cryonics is neither a mortuary practice nor a reversal of death, every one of their clients is legally dead before the process can go underway.

Currently more than 984 people are signed up with Alcor to be preserved when they die, paying a a yearly membership of $770. When death comes a knockin', preservation of just your brain costs about $80,000; preserving your entire body costs up to a cool $200,000. The steep price tag enables not just top-of-the-line freezing, but ensures that the patient-care trust fund stays flush enough to keep the facilities running and the bodies preserved for decades to come.

More maintains that those who don't believe that cryonics can be successful are overlooking a lengthy history of medical advancement and the ever-shifting nature of reality, perception and truth.

"We see it as an extension of emergency medicine. We're just taking over when today's medicine gives up on a patient. Think of it this way: 50 years ago if you were walking along the street and someone keeled over in front of you and stopped breathing you would have checked them out and said they were dead and disposed of them. Today we don't do that, instead we do CPR and all kinds of things. People we thought were dead 50 years ago we now know were not. Cryonics is the same thing, we just have to stop them from getting worse and let a more advanced technology in the future fix that problem." - More to the BBC

The Grisly Details

Alcor operates in a fleeting window when the heart stops and the brain dies "by conventional criteria," enabling the team to "artificially restore blood circulation and preserve brain viability even though a patient is legally deceased." Patients that are terminally ill are encouraged to set up shop in "cooperative" hospice care facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona, so the standby team is poised and ready. Once the person is pronounced dead these steps commence:

The patient is packed in an ice water bath as blood circulation and breathing are restored using a heart-lung resuscitator. (Happily, because everyone subjected to Alcor's preservation tactics are dead, the team doesn't have to follow "approved" methods of conventional medicine.)

The body is then flooded intravenously with a host of drugs to maintain blood pressure, preserve cells from deterioration and protect the brain from "reperfusion," when blood floods back to tissue previously deprived of oxygen.

After the patient's body temperature is lowered to a few degrees above the freezing point of water, all the blood is replaced with a kind of glorified anti-freeze, which involves some open-chest surgery to access all the major arteries and whatnot. Instead of the tissues freezing, however, they are forced to vitrify, which basically means that any water remaining in the cells is prevented from crystallizing; the molecules are locked in place but not frozen.

Meanwhile, two holes have been drilled in the patient's skull to closely monitor the brain's activity and reaction to the cryoprotectant solution.

The patient is then further cooled over the next two weeks, resulting in a human-sized popsicle at -196 degrees, and then stored in vats of liquid nitrogen.

Alcor insists that life and death are not a binary; the question of being alive or dead is a much greyer area, and there is no such thing as an "on or off" switch when it comes to cells, tissues or organs.

But not everyone thinks this process is a viable option.

Cryonics Vs. Cryogenics

Judith Shulevitz of The New Republic is one decided naysayer.

"People who buy and sell cryonic services traffic in magical thinking, not science. In all probability, cryonically pickled brains have already turned to mush."

Cryogenics-the preservation of the living -is something she can get behind, however.

Over at the Pittsburgh Medical Center, emergency-room physicians are just as interested in cheating death, but they play their trick just as someone is about to die. Those suffering from gunshot or knife wounds are purged of their blood and pumped full of icy saltwater that plunges their body temperature to 50 degrees; the idea is to "flash-freeze" the patients in the hopes of keeping them alive.

Lance Becker, a hypothermia researcher at UPENN, echoes much of More's attitudes about the slippery nature of what it means to be dead.

"If you imagine that there is life, and then a borderline, and then there's death, I think that what we're going to learn is that there is now a space in between."

The accidental coupling of hypoxia (limiting oxygen except for the tiniest flow) and hypothermia has yielded encouraging results in humans and animals, inducing a kind of frigid hibernation that is entirely reversable. So far, Shulevitz argues, no mammal has undergone a planned hibernation, but the notion is that we might be able to emulate the deceleration of metabolism like bats or bears.

Legal And Ethical Issues Abound

Lurking beneath all of this-cryogenics and cryonics alike-is of course the presiding legal and ethical ramifications. Currently, a person is considered dead when there is no longer discernible activity in the brain stem, but it remains rather vague as to how to determine, and when, a brain is permanently terminated . . . or is simply suspended and momentarily dormant.

There's also the issue of pinpointing the moment of death. The law currently regards you as dead when doctors can find no activity in the brain stem, but it is vague about how and when to determine that the brain is permanently inoperative or merely dormant.

Many scientists (along with Shulevitz) believe that instead of hoping for a future medical miracle, we should strive to recreate processes that work in the here and now.

"Hibernation is an adaptation to adverse conditions, which means that there must be genes for it. Since we share 98 percent of our genes with lemurs, some researchers suspect we have some of the right ones; we just have to figure out how to switch them on. Understanding the molecular changes underlying hibernation may do more than inch us toward immortality; it could further the science of resuscitation in the here and now."

Sadly, despite moral and logistic skepticism surrounding the freezing of the dead in the hopes of future resurrection, freezing the living (who aren't about to die from traumatic injury) won't fly either, because it's currently considered assisted suicide.

People do the oddest things with their money.
