Invited Speaker Address: Traversing Boundaries and Accessing the Invisible

Christine Simmonds-Moore

University of West Georgia, Carrollton, Georgia, United States of America

In this presentation, I will explore the idea that [receptive] psi emerges in the context of healthy mindbody-other systems that are open, porous, sensitive, and strongly interconnected. Such systems may also be associated with richer fractal signatures. Syncretic tendencies (including synesthesia) contribute to facilitating the conscious awareness of some usually invisible or intangible information, that otherwise may remain inaccessible or invisible. Several correlates of psi will be discussed from this perspective.
