Light Sound Exploration

Following a recent conversation with my brother's physics-trained sweetheart, I happened to be checking up on what Michael Persinger has published over the last few years, and found the following abstract. I've sent this to you because at one time or another I believe that I've mentioned my own similar experiences under the experimental conditions; this first occurred when I was in a pitch-dark bedroom and noticed a pulsing blob of white light which turned out to correspond to an electric clock (the sort with an electric motor in it = rotating magnetic field). Persinger may be interested in this subject since it implies that biostructures--probably in the retina but perhaps also involving structures in the brain--can become sensitized to magnetic fields under the influence of LSD and possibly other entheogens. I've also noticed that mushrooms increase my sensitivity to electric fields; I actually feel uncomfortable when I come within about 2 feet from electric space heaters, and could "feel" the field from a Variac (transformer) in the palm of my hand within about one foot which was reported by several others during an admittedly impromptu experiment. I'll probably write Persinger to suggest that he run the "palm" setup, since it appears that one can conduct research with LSD in Canada. Putative perception of rotating permanent magnetic fields following ingestion of LSD. AUTHORS: Persinger MA AUTHOR AFFILIATION: Department of Psychology, Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. mpersinger@admin.laurentian.ca SOURCE: Percept Mot Skills 1998 Oct;87(2):601-2 CITATION IDS: PMID: 9842609 UI: 99058756 ABSTRACT: While sitting alone in complete darkness, 3 participants who had ingested psychotropic concentrations of lysergic acid diethylamide reported diffuse blobs of white, purplish, or greenish-yellow lights as two horseshoe magnets rotated at 0.5 Hz. The experiences were not reported when the magnets were stationary or removed from the apparatus. The estimated peak-to-peak variation in field strength at the distance of perception was between 50 and 500 nanoTesla. An association between these results and possible ergot-induced perceptions of "magnet light" reported during the last century by von Reichenbach (1851) is suggested. ? Tantric Procedures I have been experimenting with the Ruby-Saphire glasses with the Proteus machine, and small doses of marajuana in darkened rooms, utilizing a kind of user-control, by keeping one finger on the volume, and the light intensity switches. I find that a kind of trance state can be easily entered, by without thinking, letting your fingers move the controls---so much so I can almost lift straight of out my body within a matter of minutes. As I feel myself grow lighter, and my back begin to voluntarily arch, I focus my attention to the kundalini force at the base of my spine and feel it, with an almost unspeakable force, move slowly upwards, at which point I release this attention, and channel the energy into propelling me straight out of my body. It is as if I were extending along a tremendously long tunnel, with some kind of eternal expanse on either end. I can remember as a very small child, feeling this in bed, staring at my ceiling. I must caution people who experiment with this Kundelini force to be very careful, and intuitive, not pushing yourself farther than some innter voice tells each different person to go. Try also, using the depth of your breath, as another way to adjust the experience, but only as you are moved from within to do so. N.M. ? Delayed ORgasm I have found the unit can delay male orgasm both during use (yes, I know it's a little awkward, but if you're under the influence it's very interesting) and after a session, as the brain seems to be overloaded enough with the stimulation it's just received, to be able to process more sensual data than it's used to, without forcing oneself to think about tax forms in triplicate, the laundry, or some such inane waste of life force, to quench this samesaid force enough, to get your proverbial money's worth. Get that? Let me say the possibilities are quite exciting, for blasting straight into something you've never seen before, using this device. ? biofeedback I've discovered that biofeedback control can have a tremendous effect on your long and short term sessions with the Proteus unit. There are many factors you can alter manually, both on and off the actual machine, should you not choose to purchase one of the related entrainment units from Synetic Systems, or search ebay-style auction sites for used synchromed equipment that would be upwards compatible with the latest audiostrobe units. As noted in the unofficial manual, devote some finger time to perfecting your prowess with the manual light intensity, and sound volume controls, then play around with the combination button override of flash frequency noted in the included manual. Vary your environment and your sitting position, the intensity of the external light source in the room, the time of day, energetic state, be straightforward with yourself and ask directly what you need, then see to it the apparent whim is fulfilled. If you feel you need some mind alterant, be as truthful with yourself as is humanly possible to ascertain what that perfect amount is, and not cross over or under that mark, for truth hides in the whims of every varied experience. ? DRUNKENNESS I have found that using the strobe with its internal sound set to some number that pipes immediately into my head (when I ask myself-as noted somewhere on this maze of a site), and falling asleep after a night of drinking, I wake up feeling good symbol 190 \f "Symbol" \s 12 sometimes very good. much better than I should or often do feel, considering. I have no idea why this is, but it seems to work better with the amber green glasses. I'd say it almost puts me in a meditative state, that's so pleasant when I wake up, I don't want to even move. I'd be interested in other people's experiences in this regard. ? HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE One user apparently under medication for high blood pressure claims he dramatically affected his at-rest count, using the Proteus machine with some other form of biofeedback control he supposedly modified to interface with it. He asked not to include his actual details, but to mention it as an alternative therapy for those under medical supervision, or those who are looking for ways to decrease or eliminate altogether the use of high blood pressure medication.
