I like that theory.

So you're talking about taking a best guess from the information at hand. You original statement was that this constituted proof of something, which of course, it does not. The Super Spectrum notion, which is not an actual hypothesis (as none of these things are), has always been one of my...

No, this is probably from the same time period, but that isn't the one. I'll try to scan it in later today. It shows John pretending to handle a "boa constrictor", but when you look at what he has in this hands, its a woven leather belt!

Vallee did many personal on site investigations himself. Some of those investigations ran for several years with him revisiting sites and people. Vallee has probably contributed more to the scientific analysis and investigation of the phenomena than anyone else in the field bar none. I don't...

On John Keel. Can someone conjure up the photograph of him wrestling the boa constrictor? My google superpowers are failing me. If need be, I can scan it in from the Fortean Magazine's tribute.

I am trying to understand you. Words are all we are dealing with here Jeff. If I understood you, I wouldn't have asked you the question. If you are talking about circumstantial evidence, then it doesn't "prove" anything. I am assuming that you know that.

I still don't get it. What is "descriptive evidence" vs. empirical evidence? Something that you "talk about" rather than experience?

Plenty of hypothetical evidence? What is hypothetical evidence?

Day 1119! Fukushima continues to spill radiation into the environment unabated and largely unnoticed by the world at large. Canadian student finds alarming levels of radiation in food sold in Canadian supermarkets! Canada no longer officially screening for radiation since 2012? Sticking your...

I say that is what is being observed in everything from MRIs to EKGs to this latest wizardry. You are seeing consciousness as the molecular activity associated with the various processes of the brain. The "experience" is something that can only be realized by the brain in question. I hope that...

It is highly representational brain activity. The activity of the brain can be seen in various ways. What spectrum do you want to look in, what method do you want to employ? Blood flow? Electromagnetic activity? These things indicate activity, some of which is as with the faces, is highly...

The mind (the molecular activity of the brain) is a material thing that can be seen.

I would put to you that the mind is the physical molecular operation of the brain itself. The personality and other characteristics of the mind are inexorably tied to the physical configuration of the brain. Therefore the mind isn't analogous to software, but rather firmware or more properly a...

Shouldn't the "environment" be said to include the organism itself as experiences can be had without or in opposition to interaction with the external environment, such as provided by dreams, and hallucinatory experiences? Can't consciousness be seen as essentially the organism experiencing...

I apologize if this has already been covered, and for doing another hit and run on this thread. The answer is that things like "color" and "sound" (among others) only exist as experiences generated within the organism having them. The flower is for all intents and purposes "invisible" until we...

I will attempt it. (dims lights, takes out a pencil, pad of paper, and puts on some Grand Funk Railroad) Yes, it is coming to me clearly now. (places the blank pad of paper on his forehead in a Carnac the Magnificent like fashion for no apparent reason) I see another over-hyped, over priced...

Judging from his blog, I'd say he is serious about it.

Someone claiming to have witnessed it over at Crop Circle Secrets Revealed.

I enjoyed his talk. Thanks for posting. Lot's of ideas in there.

Whoops. My big mouth.
