    Music of the Extended Mind

    Consciousness: the ability to feel something, anything-- 

    whether it's the sensation

    of a blue sky and brilliant sunset, a troublesome tooth ache, being sad, or worryingabout the deadline for something due in two weeks.

     Neuroscientists assume that neural processes of which we are generally unaware,

    such as, non-conscious processes, create conscious awareness as a reflection of

     physical reality, so if we wish to understand how events unfold in the physical

    world, we would do well to attempt to get some hints about how these events are

    influenced by non-conscious processes.

     Non-conscious processing would be any neural processing of which we are not

    aware. Because we are not aware of non-conscious processing and therefore havelittle intuitive understanding of it, our intuitions that are based on our conscious

    waking eperiences will not necessarily apply to this non-conscious functioning of

     brain activity.

    !any events occur in the physical world and most are outside the awareness of our 

    individual consciousness.

    "ur non-conscious processing seems to access information about more events and

    conditions than normal conscious awareness.

    "ur non-conscious processing often appears to have better access to physical

    reality than conscious awareness.

    "ur conscious awareness somehow is provided information about events in a way

    that creates the appearance of a #past$ that we remember somewhat ha%ily and a

    #future$ that we do not remember at all.

    &ith that all said, would like to propose a possible direction for tool technologies

    to eplore for the continuing advancement of human consciousness beyond the

     present wide-spread utili%ation of the (smart phone) uses. &e are not going to be

    satisfied for very long with the present technology of teting and social networks,

    there will be a reaching for new and better ideas to connect this planetary human

    collective consciousness and to stretch the discoveries of our greater selves.

    *irst, an overview of some recently made-known findings regarding the human

     brain and its vibrational structure as it relates to collective consciousness.

    would like to start with the brain-wave fre+uencies which you may already have

    an understanding. cience has had the ability to detect and measure

    electromagnetic fre+uency signals from within the human brain since the early

    /0)s with the introduction of the medical 112. 3he very first waves detected

    were known as (4lpha) waves, from greatest amplitude, these were recorded aswithin the 5 to 6 7%. range in fre+uency. Brain-waves detection gained more

    research activity during the 60)s period of biofeedback interest. 3oday)s

    electromagnetic sensing technology has carried us well beyond those early

    methods.

    &hen our brain wave rhythms are measured electromagnetically, they are found to

    occur prominently within what is termed the 18* 9etremely low fre+uency

    spectrum and lower. 3his brainwave spectrum is also divided into band segments,

    called the 4lpha 9greatest amplitude 9; to < 7%., Beta 9< to =5 7%., 3heta 9/.>

    to ; 7%., ?elta 9.;> to /.> 7%., @eta 9 to .;> 7%., and the 2amma 9=5 7%. to

    00 7%. and higher, ranging from over 00 cycles per second 97ert% and down

     below cps 97%..

    3he measurable presence of these different fre+uencies seems to indicate changes

    in individual consciousness. 4n eample might be that a relaed, attentive state

    develops strong 4lpha wave rhythmsA these are also in the prominent 1arth

    resonant fre+uency ranges. 3he 3heta rhythms are found to occur during the dream

     periods, and while eperiencing a spontaneous creative, intuitive state.

    f we consider that the (4lpha) brainwave spectrum which includes the commonly

    understood (chumann esonance) seems to have its fundamental fre+uency

    associated with and determined by the physical structure of the circumference of

    the 1arth. 3he earth circumference being about 7%. 3his has been

    found to be measured at around ;.57%. 7owever, as one who has watched over a

    many year period with 18* test spectrum analy%ers can tell you that 1arth being

    an alive-system allows a continual shift up and down that spectrum from the ;.> to

    5.= 7% for its chumann esonance. 4lthough it is related to the circumference of

    earth, it being a comple system of earthDatmosphere and ionosphere is continually

    changing. t is well recogni%ed that as we enter a relaed and meditation mode, our 

     brainwaves reveal a highly (alpha wave) condition. n addition, 112 brainwave

    detection will reveal the (chumann esonances) imbedded within its received

    spectrum of brain-waves signals.

    omething which has not been widely recogni%ed to date is that if one also

    calculates the circumference fre+uencies of the (inner) Ean 4llen belt, it will be

    found that its spectrum range is from to 6 7%. which you will recogni%e from

    the above as the (3heta) brainwave region. 3he 3heta brainwaves have long been

    associated with human creativity, dream states such as 1! and lucid dreaming,meditation, and peak eperiences.

    n addition, if one calculates the circumference fre+uencies of the (outer) Ean 4llen

     belt, it will be found that its spectrum range is from .5 to =./ 7%. which you will

    recogni%e as the (?elta) brainwave region. 3he ?elta brainwaves have been

    associated with a (deep) revitali%ing sleep period, or Non-1! dream state,

    intuition, curiosity, hunches and slow-wave sleep.

    4ll life on earth has developed within these earthly (chumann esonances) as

    well as the (nner and "uter Ean 4llen) donut shaped energy toroid compleenergy fields. &hen one calculates additional fre+uency relationships of the Ean

    4llen)s such as the radius wavelengths from the 1arth center or its surface it may

     be easily seen that again the other higher brain-wave fre+uency spectrums appear

    in number as fundamental natural fre+uencies.

    t may now be becoming clear that our brainDbody structure is intimately coupled

    to the (natural music) of the planet rhythms. 3o summari%e the above information,

    each and every day our individual consciousness cycles through the resonances

    with these fundamental aspects of the earth)s structure as we shift our daily

    activities from physical, to rest and sleep.

    Brainwave entrainment: t has been known since obert Beck)s brain research in

    the ;0s that the human brain can be entrained to specific fre+uencies by eternal

    signal activity. 7e was able to construct and operate small locally transmitting

    electromagnetic signal generators which influenced nearby brain activity which the

     brainwaves entrained too by the eternally controlled energy field. *rom Beck)s

    monitoring of the brain fre+uencies, he could begin to compare the signal spectrum

    with changes in consciousness of the participating subFects and observe uni+ue

    abilities or effects at specific fre+uencies.

    3his author had the opportunity to construct and utili%e 18* 9etremely low

    fre+uency sensing e+uipment during the 50s while observing electromagnetic

    activity of a number of countries around the planet as they transmitted worldwide

    high-powered signals within the brainwaves spectrums. t appears that these

    countries were eperimenting with the influencing of local or worldwide

     populations by brainwave manipulations. !uch of this type of transmitting is still

    ongoing.

    4nother type of brainwave research that came out of the 50s was from the

    !onroe nstitute founded by obert !onroe. n his work on "B1 9out of body

    eperience, he found that by entraining the brain by the uses of sound he could

    entice an added influence for the "B1. 7is method was to utili%e stereo

    headphones with separate fre+uencies for each ear by taking advantage of a

    commonly known aspect of combining two fre+uencies. &hen two fre+uencies are

    mied together, not only are those fre+uencies heard but the brain also

    detectsDrecreates the sum and difference fre+uencies as well.

    f for eample, the left channel was to have a fre+uency of 00 7%. and the right

    channel has 06 7%., then the brain would also create the difference fre+uency of 6

    7%., which you now might recogni%e as within the 3heta brainwave spectrum.!onroe)s successful methods became known as #7emi-ync$ and had the

    opportunity to eam one of his devices and the associated recordings with a

    spectrum analy%er. *rom this method you can easily see that all of the brainwave

    spectrums can be stimulated +uite easily by using sound sources as well as

    electromagnetics. !usic from many varied sources, types and rhythms has always

     been recogni%ed as a means of altering consciousness from far back into ancient

    human history.

    By now you might be wondering where all of this information might be leading as

    to usable technologies, future tools, or Fust new ways of playing games in the

    discoveries of consciousness. will propose a few possibilities.

    8et us suppose that there is a small start-up company whose engineering

    department has been given an assignment to solve a particular problem within the

    design of their product. Now, they could all sit around a table and discuss the

     possibilities, then maybe return to their individual cubicles, go separate directions

    after a day of work, watch evening television and fall asleep, and try to meet

    together again the net day for more problem solving around that table. nstead of

    the above scenario, on that first day around the table when they received thatengineering task, they all collectively programmed an app into their smart-phones

    for a very specific fre+uency of (theta) tone, placed their headphones on their ears

    or installed a simple band around their head, then went about the rest of the day)s

    activities while being connected in consciousness for design solutions. 3hen maybe

    they would come together later for further discussions and planning.

    8et us suggest that there is a large international corporation with employees in

    many countries around the world, the business development workers wish to have

    common goals and techni+ues to further the success of the company)s business

     plans. 3hey decide on a particular international time-period to meet via a mind-link 

    to share eperiences while at the same time communicating internationally through

    teleconference. 3he corporation knows that each individual within the conference

    may be mind-linked instantaneously through the surrounding earth energy field by

    the selection of common app tuned creative intuitive fre+uencies.

     Now, where else might creative intuitive mind-link be very usefulG Computer

    gaming, field sports, HN meetings, political conferences, music concerts,

    emergency eercises, hospital operations, fire departments, or anywhere for

    creative inspiration and beingDworking together. !aybe the time has arrived for allof us humans here on planet 1arth to become linked creatively for the betterment

    of all.

    3o some etent, we are all researcher into the mysteries of consciousness and by

    utili%ing some of these new tools of brainDbody eploration we might discover

    whole new untapped realms of planetary consciousness awaiting. &e all share now

    these vast regions of surrounding energy fields. &hat information might they

    contain, the ancients and indigenous have long spoken of the knowledge and

    history contained within the mysterious 4kashi fields.

    &hen consider the vast 2igabytes of data contained within my small memory

    chip held here in my hand, what might be the vast data contained within the 1arth)s

    vast surrounding atmospheric and energy fields. Check it outII
