TKR is honored to host  Dr. Charles T. Tart  tonight, July 14th at 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern.


Dr. Charles T. Tart has been involved with research and theory in the fields of Hypnosis, Psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, Parapsychology, Consciousness and Mindfulness since 1963. He has authored over a dozen books, two of which became widely-used textbooks; he has had more than 250 articles published in professional journals and books, including lead articles in such prestigious scientific journals as Science and Nature, and provides regular public speaking appearances.

Dr. Tart was also a research consultant during the former US government projects now collectively referred to as STAR GATE.

Dr. Tart will be talking with us about his new book titled,  "The End Of Materialism" and many other things.

Known for his more than 50 years of research on the nature of consciousness, altered states of consciousness (ASCs) and parapsychology, this is sure to be an exciting chat, with a rare giant in the field of exceptional human experience. Come say hello to Dr. Tart and ask some questions!



http://www.dojopsi.com/chat/   is our ordinary chat room; we meet here every Monday night 9:30-11:30pm Eastern for TKR casual chat.

http://www.dojopsi.com/chat/index-conference.cfm is the chat room with a box on the side for asking questions. The system should automatically move you to this page if you arrive near the time of the conference, but you can also go there directly.

Check back here soon for information on the transcript.


See you there!

Dr. Tart is such a nice guy. He's also on Coast to Coast AM tomorrow! -- but you're more likely to be able to ask him a direct question if you're at the chat tonight. :-)

[LD]

Starts in about 20 minutes! See you guys in the chat room!

[LD]

Awesome chat. Thanks to everyone who joined us. Tons of great questions, as usual.

Dr. Tart is a candid guy with a great sense of humor and much insight. It was a real treat to be able to bounce some questions off him. As PJ pointed out after the chat, he's been publishing papers on parapsychology since before many of us were even born! Thanks again, everyone.

The transcript will be online in a few days or so. Check back here for more information.

Best,
LD

That was even more interesting than I expected actually. He is more geared to psi and psychology than remote viewing and it was cool to see anybody talking about stuff like fear of psi -- I think that's part of what we all fight to hammer down in the psychology as part of the process.

The direct infomation and experience he had in the use of a Faraday cage to increase or decrease psi was really interesting. Fascinating really as if what he was saying is fact, and I have absolutely no reason to think it wasn't, then it would seem this is a smoking gun (somehow) as to the mechanics of psi or perhaps the "signal line".

Perhaps once the transcript is up I can get everyone's ideas on the subject.

I never realized the fear of PSI was such an obstacle. I guess if you have a father that designs complex annealing furnaces from the dreams he had and a mother with red hair whose mother's maiden name was Hillditch (change the 'd' to a 'w' for real laugh), photographed your first ghosts before you're nine, the fear of PSI and the unknown in minimal.

As for the Faraday cage, one of their homes built by a millionaire in the 1920's is laced with brass strapping through the walls, used to keep the heavily textured finish on the walls. It is a very calm and peaceful there. They used to show the house to bus loads of people who immediately calmed when they walked through the door. I remote viewed there often and was the last one to experience the resident ghost in the breakfast nook (he was leaving and wanted the house looked after).

The live chat was a real treat.  For over 29 years, I have enjoyed and appreciated the many contributions to science that Dr. Tart has made.  
He has a wonderful spirit and sense of humor - a genuine treasure.  

Amongst several interesting remarks he made, I found the following anecdote on disassociation (during ASC) as insightful as it is amusing.

Dr._Charles_Tart:
"I was given mescaline a zillion years ago, an interesting story, and I
had agreed to do ESP card calling tests beforehand.  
When we got to that, I was exploring the cosmos and they wanted me to call cards?  How boring!  But it was for science, and I had agreed to it, so...

But what I did was dissociate a part of my mind to generate the card
symbols, connected it to my vocal cords, and let it rip, while "I" went on exploring the cosmos...

If you look at traditional societies where shamans use drugs to get into ASCs,
they don't just "trip," they are trained to focus the states on tasks considered useful by their culture, like RVing where the lost cow is

Yes, I had fun, and I learned the real meaning of dissociation."

I did some online hunting around and found an excerpt of Ingo Swanns book Psychic Sex in which he describes the copper room exmeriment.

It did way more than curl Ingo's toes. LOL

 I really really want to try it out too.

cheers

I really really want to try it out too.

Liz, really! 

You might consider the modern version, although the results may be somewhat different.
The copper mirror and magnet sounds like fun too, what were you talking about?

Early 2007 I was going through a phase where I could hear people's thoughts in the hallway at work, elevators rides would often induce a chuckle. The ability grew old quickly and diminished as fast as it came. I narrowly avoided scandal a few times when I'd inadvertently finished their thoughts for them verbally.
