Laughter is very important. I have to say, when I see myself, the things I'm doing, the things I'm talking about here--when I see myself through the eyes of others, I burst out into laughter--regularly. Teleportation? Telekinesis? Photoreading? Alkaline diet? The things we are discussing belong in the theatre of the absurd. (when looking from a conventional perspective). If someone were to tell me five years ago, that I'd be looking straight through a book in order to read it whole, I'd think they were mad!
For example, the first time I ever saw Tai Chi, I had no experience with meditation whatsoever. My friend was demonstrating. 20 seconds into it, we BOTH spontaneously burst out into laughter--paroxysms of laughter-- I couldn't breathe for several minutes!!! I almost died of asphyxiation. It was pretty serious... I mean.. funny.
As the Tao Te Ching says,
"When a foolish man hears of the Tao,
he laughs out loud.
If he didn't laugh,
it wouldn't be the Tao.."
Now, regarding the dictionary game without ever opening it previously...
What I meant by intution, you'd have to have seen it out of the corner of your eye sometime, no? The information would have to be in your brain somewhere in order for it to be called upon in the form of a subtle hunch or feeling.
Now, if you have no sensory data whatsoever of what is inside the dictionary...
Then we are talking about psychic abilities--beyond intuition. My thought was, how can you use psychic ability (if it exists) to know what is inside the dictionary?
You'd have to somehow either contact the author of the dictionary or someone who knew what was inside, no?
The only person that I've ever heard of that could do something like this was Edgar Cayce. He supposedly had access to some sort of universal consciousness. He used to put books under his pillow and read them that way.
Here's my take on that. He worked in a book store for many years, right. Well, I think that he PhotoFlipped many books over the years that he worked there. Just casually flipping a book, inputting the sensory data of the pages. Same with the books under the pillow--a little photoflip, plus, add in the tremoundous receptivity of a supremely religious and highly hypnotisable man and voila--dream activation/total recall.
Well, years later, under under hypnosis, turns out he has all this profound knowledge of how to cure people's maladies. Ask him a question--the answer comes. My postulation: could it be that this knowledge did not come from beyond his mind, but was merely the reawakening of photoflipped pages that were taken long ago in his bookshop days.
He also lost the use of his voice for several years. Without the ability to speak, his brain may have lost much of its left-brain dominance--switching over to using pictures and his visual intelligence rather than words.
Under hypnosis, he also spoke in different voices. Is it possible that he used the principle of 'putting on heads'? That's what Wenger did with Project Renaissance at first--hypnotised people to paint like Leonardo DaVinci or play the violin like a master--and it worked.
My question is:
Are we dealing with something "psychic?"--contacting or accessing something that is beyond the human cranium.
OR, are there other factors like, 1. loss of voice, 2. photoflipping, 3. highly suggestible/hypnotisible 4. borrowed genius under hypnosis.
Wenger says that everything that we are learning in universities we already know--have already picked up somewhere or another. He says that what we already know--what is already inside us at some level, would full MANY universities. That the knowledge capacity of the subconscious is 10 billion times greater than the conscious.
