There is a large amount of evidence that perception itself - even perception which carries apparently veridical content - is always inherently hallucinatory. Interestingly enough, this body of evidence emerges from converging insights and data produced by disciplines as diverse as cognitive neuroscience and so-called Eastern religions such as Buddhism.
Empirical evidence supports the representative theory of perception over the theory of direct realism. In many cases, it involves complete replacement of the perceptual field with a hallucinatory one, even in cases where only a constituent element is definitely unrealistic. They are phenomenologically indistinguishable from normal perception. Hallucinatory images and normal perceptual images lie on a continuum rather than forming two qualitatively distinct classes. Both sorts of perceptual or quasi-perceptual image can be more or less closely determined by sensory input.
The human brain acts like an electrical circuit called a phase-locked loop. Low frequency electric and magnetic fields induce weak electric currents in humans and animals. Biological Systems detect and respond to external ULF/ELF signals using their built-in receiving and decoding systems (cell-to-cell communication).
Brains and cells use oscillating ion currents for the control of release of neurotransmitters and in the cell to cell communication systems,(EEG). They use frequency encoders and decoders and phase-locked loop circuits to tune into external signals of a slightly different frequency. The magnetic oscillations may create propagating spin waves and associative memory arrays. Multiple fluctuating dipole moments in multiple phase locked loops constitutes a self-organizing chaotic field. Brain tubulin structure and assembly are affected by magnetite nanoparticles in viscous fluid behaving as liquid crystals under interaction of dipoles. Quantum dipole oscillations may couple to zero-point fluctuations of the quantum vacuum.
Several theorists have proposed that consciousness can be understood as an electromagnetic phenomenon. Their theories differ in how they relate consciousness to electromagnetism. For example, electromagnetic field theories (or "EM field theories") of consciousness propose that consciousness results when a brain produces an electromagnetic field with features that meet certain criteria; Susan Pockett and Johnjoe McFadden have proposed EM field theories; William Uttal has criticized McFadden's and other field theories.
Some electromagnetic theories are also quantum mind theories of consciousness; examples include quantum brain dynamics (QBD) approaches of Mari Jibu and Kunio Yasue[6] and of Giuseppe Vitiello.[7] In general, however, quantum mind theories other than these QBD approaches do not treat consciousness as an electromagnetic phenomenon. Also related are E. Roy John's work and Andrew and Alexander Fingelkurt's theory "Operational Architectonics framework of brain-mind functioning"
All our senses function essentially as filters of electromagnetic input. Sensory processing includes all central acts of information processing, which link the initial stages of sensory reception with the creation of a subjective sensory precept. Sensation is the neuronal activity resulting from the transduction of stimulus energy into electrical activity (also Sensory processing). A sensory cue is a statistic or signal from sensory input that measures the state of some property of the world that the perceiver is interested in. Somatic input is amplified by simultaneous imaginal input, fantasy overlays and mythic narratives interpreting what is happening.
Other sorts of empirical evidence include perceptual “filling-in" and Pareidolia (/pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə), a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant, a form of apophenia. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek words para (παρά, "beside, alongside, instead") in this context meaning something faulty, wrong, instead of; and the noun eidōlon (εἴδωλον "image, form, shape") the diminutive of eidos. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia, seeing patterns in random data.
The immediate content of consciousness in both perception and hallucination is something distinct from anything in the outer world, and made of the same ‘substance’ in both cases. There is no qualitative distinction to be made between the ‘ideas’ present to consciousness in the two cases, perception and hallucination, on the philosophical level. The whole context of dreams is hallucinatory, though certain features in it may ultimately originate in specific sensory stimuli from within or without the dreamer’s body.
Ties in nicely with our Questioning Consciousness thread. I'm starting to believe mind control can be performed by some form of magnetic/ectro influences. This also ties in with schumann resonance principles. The Earth herself is a giant magnet, without the field she produces, the sun's powerful emissions would finish us off pretty quick. Sometimes I think we've lost our connection to the Earth-mother and sold ourselves out to gods. That quote came from a site "sedona effect." That site is referring to an area in Arizona, however, it seems strange how sedona is the area on Mars where the "face" anomaly appears and some suggest, yes, pyramids. Also, iron is what gives Mars its reddish hue. Martian meteorites suggest that the Martian crust has about twice as much iron as the earth's crust. Of course Mars is smaller than Earth, but most of Earth is covered in water. As a result, Mars has more available iron.
"The brain activity associated with consciousness responds to the subtle changes in geomagnetic activity. These changes include alterations in the occurrence of dreams, enhanced electrical sensitivity of groups of brain cells (and the more extreme form, electrical seizures), and the ability to focus during the day. Because all human beings are immersed within the geomagnetic field we are intrinsically connected to it and to the secondary fields that arise from this connection. Very small changes in the activity of the earth's magnetic field due to alterations in solar activity can affect all human beings. These direct effects are primarily upon the subtle but complex electromagnetic fields that interact with everyone's consciousness due to the marked similarity of the characteristics of our brains and our genetic history. This creates the potential for the function of every person's brain activity to be changed without their awareness." (Persinger)
By the way, the burning of fossil fuels or even simple campfires can produce non biogenic magnetite and end up in our brains. I wonder how long the deep military state has known about these things. Curiouser and curiouser...
