... meaning they do not dampen each other's power or amplitude. If the two oscillators interfere in a way that drives both of their amplitudes, maximizing the potential energy of the circuit, then they are said to be in resonant coherence. When...
... a resonant oscillator, PIT fully describes the power of hallucinogens and shamanic ritual to produce expanded states of multi-stable consciousness, also known as strange attractors. Once this process is fully described, the underlying mechanics of...
... fraction of the brain’s total frame processing power. Where does the extra power to process multiple frames come from? The Frame Stacking model assumes that periodic doubling of frame complexity does not necessarily require a full linear doubling...
Distant psychophysiological interaction effects between related and unrelated participants
... experimental period. Event-related evoked alpha power measures revealed a tendency for samples from “remote” photic stimulation periods to show larger deviations from pre-stimulus baseline than control samples; these deviations were in t...
Information Genesis and Complexity
... through hominid tribal groups leading to power, civilization, empire, and industry. The Δ7 information matrix represents another quantum leap in information genesis, storage, and transmission. The logic networks created by internalizin...
... psychedelic space for personal gain or vendetta. powers ascribed to shamanic sorcery include clairvoyance, spirit channeling, shape shifting, astral travel, remote viewing, curses, dream projection, magical darts, telepathy, mind control, necromancy...
Group Mind and Fluid Tribal Dynamics
... and may be measured generally in terms of global power across alpha bands of the entire group. In the ego-driven beta state the solid norms of society and hierarchy apply, but in the relaxed alpha state behaviors become more fluid and intuitive. In ...
... theory. Attempting to break down the non-verbal power of pheromones to induce bonding and neural growth can lead to many interesting digressions, but what is most important to understand is that when humans are under stress they produce hormones an...
Hypnotic Entrainment and Induced Trance States
... in a neural network) to reach maximum amplitude (power) when stimulated with periodic drivers (pulses) at a specific frequency (pitch, or rhythm). The specific amplitude-driving frequency for any oscillator is known as the oscillator’s resonant fr...
Physical Shamanism and Shamanic Therapy
... activation has also been demonstrated to produce powerful anti-inflammatory effects in cardiovascular and soft tissues; and 5-HT2A agonists like LSD may produce potent anti-inflammatory effects against TNF-a (tumor necrosis factor alpha), an autoimm...
The Case Against the Spirit Model of Psychedelic Action
... models. Any rational examination of shamanic power must accept the limitations of spirit models which fall short of meeting modern cultural expectations. The spirit world model of psychedelic action is not only inaccurate, it is also potentially...
... aspects of consciousness enter into a low-power subconscious or unconscious state, as in going to sleep. Psychedelics are unique in that they can both enhance and degrade perceptual limitations by orders of degrees; psychedelics can obscure...
Drug War: Covert Money, Power & Policy
"Anyone who wants to understand the real issues raised by drugs and the drug war cannot afford to bypass this seminal work." -- Michael C Ruppert, former LAPD narcotics investigator, anti-CIA activist, publisher "From the Wilderness" "The best bo...
Why are Psychedelics Spiritual?
... sacraments that open the user to hidden spirit powers and wisdom (Fig. 1). This ideological split need not exist because both of these views are essentially correct; psychedelics are toxins and they are hallucinogens, but they also offer experienc...
An Overview of Physical Shamanism
... changing as the hallucinogenic interrupt gains power, entrains sensory processing networks, and generates novel and complex interference patterns. To clarify this process, in the realm of shamanism it may be helpful to think of serotonergic modu...
... ayahuasca, which sometimes indicates increased power in high frequency beta and gamma coherence,13,14 but in the context of shamanic ritual shows increased power in slow-wave theta activity.15 Eidetic hallucination is considered to be rendered ph...
... body weight and placebo. The intracerebral power density distribution was computed with LORETA from spectrally analyzed data, and subjective effects were measured by means of the Hallucinogen Rating Scale (HRS). Statistically significant diffe...
Annotation: This study reports increase in power in high beta-3 and beta-4 bands and decrease in power in theta bands following ayahuasca intoxication. Aims Ayahuasca is a traditional South American psychoactive beverage used in Amazonian sham...
EEG gamma coherence and other correlates of subjective reports during ayahuasca experiences
The current study examined QEEG power and coherence of ayahuasca experiences with two experienced participants in a Brazilian jungle setting. An exploratory case series design was adopted for naturalistic field research. EEGs recorded during visual i...
... mistakes. While it is easy to romanticize the power and image of the shaman it must be remembered that the shaman is only human and shamanic power comes from a heady mix of science, superstition, theatrics, and a little help from the plant allies...
