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
