"4. Oschman's hypothesis is that brainwaves and other natural biorhythms can be "entrained" by stronger external signals (such as emitted Qi and the naturally occurring Schumann resonance), noting the close overlap in frequency profiles, the susceptibility of the brain during thalamic "silent phases", and a large body of research suggesting a strong correlation between behavioral disturbances in humans and periods of geomagnetic field turbulence. Conversely, studies showed that subjects living in isolation from geomagnetic rhythms over long periods of time developed increasing irregularities and chaotic physiological rhythms - which were dramatically restored after the introduction of a very weak 10Hz electrical field! It is also pointed out that one of the effects of meditation is to "quiet the mind" as a method of allowing the "free-run" (or silent thalamic periods) to become entrained by natural geophysical rhythms. This form of "magnetoreception" is mediated by the pineal gland (30% of its cells are magnetically sensitive) and organic magnetite-containing tissues. 5. Expanding on this notion of therapeutic entrainment, Oschman notes the work of Robert Beck, who for a decade researched the brain wave activity of healers from all cultures and religious backgrouns (he enumerates psychics, shamans, dowsers, Christian healers, seers, ESP readers, kahuna, Santeria, wicca practitioners and others) and who, independent of their belief systems, exhibited "nearly identical EEG signatures" during their "healing" moments: a 7.8-8Hz brainwave activity, which lasted from one to several seconds and which was "phase and frequency- ynchronized with the earth's geoelectric micropulsations - the Schumann resonance". He therefore concludes that such regulatory, "healing" signals originating in the brain and the environment are somehow "amplified" within the body, and can then be used for both self-regulation and communication of therapeutic bioinformation to the patient, via the perineural and vascular systems oscillations."

"3. In light of all of the above observations, we are proposing that the Schumann resonance may be the substrate for a radar-type extrasensory perception mechanism common to all living beings: like water bouncing off of rocks and other submerged objects, this non-specific frequency is absorbed and re-radiated in unique interference patterns by all objects it encounters; this interference pattern is a composite of external and internal properties, as the constituent atoms, molecules and their global assembly all re-transmit this energy according to their specific configurations (see Beal on biopolymers). Not only that, but the "sounding" wave can be frequency and pattern (Wallaczek) - modulated by conscious intent in order to yield specific information interference patterns), which are then decoded by the brain as they return almost instantly on the "back" of the Schumann resonance. Once recaptured, the patterns are then decoded by the brain in a Fourier-type transformation and the information translated into conscious data, much like other sensory processing. Conversely, specific effects may be imprinted as bioinformation and made to exercise a "mysterious action at a distance", once the signal wave reaches the target. In effect, what we are describing is simply an "extrasensory" interactive interface for organisms too small to have the luxury of a sensory system! In the course of evolution, it makes sense to wonder how unicellular organisms evolved to interact with their environment, how basic functions such as "scan"/"evaluate" (encountered objects), or "fight"/"assimilate"/"phagocytose" (potential food sources), or "stimulate" (own metabolism) - would have to be accounted for. In the absence of what we consider our basic sensory equipment, could we conceive of a more effective mechanism for information processing than such a non-local, energy-efficient electromagnetic "hologram"? (And if that is indeed the case - how ironic that we now call this "primitive", pre-sensory function our higher, future species potential!)"

This thread is getting annoying now

10/21/2006 5:12:44 PM

Quiet, wee brain.

10/21/2006 5:26:59 PM

^^^^^so youre one of those kids who says "thats just retarted" when you have no evidence in rebuttal

just end our misery now and get out of the thread

hehe..."retarted"

10/21/2006 6:14:26 PM

i'm one of those kids who says "that's retarded" when something is obviously retarded and cleary doesn't need an explanation for how retarded it is (and i was trying not to call out everybody and give some stupid asinine reason why everyone was wrong this year...but no one seems to like that either)

locke is annoying and should not be the "new" main character

he's only interesting because we still don't know how he messed up his legs

the dude fucks up all the time, sacrifices someone because he fucked up, feels guilty, tries to find answers, fucks up, hurts someone, feels guilty, tries to find out why, fucks up, hurts someone, feels guilty, tries to find out why, over and over and over again

he's the most gullible out of the group, and he never learns from his mistakes

haha since you think he is annoying he shouldn't be the main character? Im sorry, JJ Abrams....i won't argue with you anymore

10/21/2006 7:28:29 PM

jj abrams jumped ship a long time ago

his name is still attached to the show but that's about it

but if anything, he's the reason the show is watchable

10/21/2006 7:49:31 PM

^oh ok

10/21/2006 8:14:43 PM

Charlie.. your an idiot..

you say my reasons are the worst, but yet you are arguing what I said before you ever said it..

hmmm

someone says that Desmond is now psychic and I say the implosion did it and then you say NO, THE ELECTRICITY DID IT.. same thing



sheep

10/21/2006 11:33:46 PM

exposure to super high intensity electromagnetic field

get it right

an implosion is totally different

10/22/2006 1:25:36 AM

technically he is right, the implosion ended the electomagnetic event when they used the failsafe, but we both know he is just being a douche

don't make tell you how that one works

10/22/2006 9:46:44 AM

^you don't have to. In fact, I would appreciate you not explaining or posting anything at all on this thread, since you say unoriginal things a third of the time, things that you have no explanation of the other third, and the last third is split between being a fag and trolling people.

I saw it and knew that someone was going to say something, but I figured that if they were going to say something about that, then the rest of my post was awesome!

haha i love sawyer...

"what have i gotta do? talk about your mother?"

"damn right i'm smilin.."

HOW does sawyer get his ass thoroughly kicked by that guy?

10/25/2006 9:16:44 PM

b/c that guy had one of those metal extendable rods that policemen have..and they hurt like a bitch (never had it done to me, just predicting that it doesn't feel good)

10/25/2006 9:17:29 PM

damn they just keep fuckin his shit up.

10/25/2006 9:23:14 PM

damn they put a pacemaker in him!
or they TOLD him they did...

i wonder if they really did?

[Edited on October 25, 2006 at 9:26 PM. Reason : yea]

10/25/2006 9:25:30 PM

they didn't put a pacemaker in him...

10/25/2006 9:26:21 PM

that's like something out of saw

...i would be really freaked out

10/25/2006 9:26:40 PM

c'mon guys

it's one big mind fuck

you should applaud the effort and the game, not the "fact" that they "put a pacemaker" in sawyer

10/25/2006 9:29:29 PM

Damn, is the whole cast of deadwood gonna show up on Lost? First Trixie, now Joanie.

sun

10/25/2006 9:38:10 PM

in the boat...

it is just one big psychological experiment....

sawyer?

could charlieefh be any more of a dick

10/25/2006 9:40:49 PM

the others are conditioning jack, sawyer, and kate to turn their lives around and become good people with potential

remember how they took all the kid's because they were "good"?

why would you believe charlie
