Bio: Jason Yotopoulos, a Stanford-educated engineer and multi-time entrepreneur, has spent a decade as a venture capitalist and a subsequent decade as an executive with one of the world’s largest global multinational software companies. He has personally invested in subtle energy research with Stanford Emeritus Professor Dr. William Tiller and is most recently affiliated with [...]

This resilience stems from the seeming plausibility of two central dogmas. First, that impairment to critical brain regions causes a degradation of corresponding cognitive function and that this proves that mind is dependent on the brain. Second, the physical domain is presumed to be causally closed, which is taken to imply that mind is either [...]

One of the most important unsolved problems in science is the mechanism by which organisms develop from single cells into adults. In 1981 Rupert Sheldrake proposed an interesting model of development in which collective memories are stored in a “morphic field” that progeny tap into to regulate their development along the lines of their predecessors. [...]

The various forms of precognition (e.g., presentiment, premonition) stand as counter-examples to this temporal unidirectionality. Although there is no consensus scientific explanation for it, precognition likely does not involve new physics; rather it requires that currently accepted physics be interpreted in a more forthright manner.

It is fashionable today to believe that consciousness collapses the quantum wavefunction and thus creates reality. But as developed in this paper, this idea is grounded in a faulty assumption. This paper examines the early history of quantum theories and in so doing reveals the flawed assumptions involved. Having isolated the issue in the mathematics [...]

The quantum observer effect has been used to explain psychokinesis. We act as if the Von Neumann-Wigner quantum observer interpretation that consciousness is required for wave function collapse is accepted quantum mechanics. It is not. Innovative work such as Cramer’s transactional interpretation explicitly excludes the need for a conscious observer, and instead invokes advanced (retrograde) [...]
