Self-Experimentation facilitated by an energy
field
Since beginning of August 2002, each of
the IAC’s main educational centers worldwide provides students
with the opportunity to conduct self-experiments. Students conduct
their experiments alone in a specially optimized room – herein
referred to as a ‘laboratory’ for self-experimentation.
Although the laboratories are customized
to reduce sensory stimulation while providing privacy in a comfortable
ambience, the essential element of these laboratories is their energetic
field, which is moulded with characteristics of the activity performed
at the laboratory and reinforced through repetitions of the experiment.
The energetic pattern referred here as ‘energetic field’,
was studied by Waldo Vieira (1986) under the name of holothosene.
Rupert Sheldrake (1996) refers to this energetic pattern as morphogenetic
field.
The accumulation of this energy pattern in
the environment can give rise to a type of non-physical technology,
which is considered to be helpful in the production of similar phenomenon
when exposed to the same environment.
These laboratories provide individuals interested
in self-experimentation with an invaluable dynamised opportunity
to have personal psychic experiences, while also allowing for scientific
tabulation and analysis of experimental data
The research derived from the accumulation
of data related to the occurrences and results experienced by those
who participate in the laboratories’ sessions will allow verification
of the actual effects that such category of laboratory can produce
and the validity of using bioenergetic and holothosenic elements
for inducing psychic experiences in an environment adapted from
class space to laboratorial conditions.
Three different types of laboratories are
available (as of August 2002):
Projective Techniques Laboratory.
In this laboratory experimenters select and apply a technique for
wilfully inducing a conscious out-of-body experience, lucidly departing
from their physical body in their psychosoma, or non-physical body
(astral body). Experimenters remain alone in the laboratory for
the duration of the experiment, typically 2.5 hours.
Vibrational State Laboratory.
This laboratory provides optimized conditions for experimenters
aiming to develop their vibrational state, a bioenergetic technique
known to enhance overall wellbeing and balance, and increase psychic
perceptions. A manual with instructions for inducing a vibrational
state is available in the laboratory for consultation. The objective
is to produce as many vibrational states as possible during the
experiment, which typically lasts 2 hours.
Waking Physical Immobility Laboratory.
In this laboratory, participants attempt to remain seated in a comfortable
armchair for 3 hours straight, looking at a blank wall and not moving
a muscle. This experiment offers an opportunity for participants
to train their concentration and develop control over their physical
body. Including the time reserved for recording observations, each
experiment typically lasts 3.5 hours.
During the three experiments, the participant
stays alone in the room; however, a experienced instructor follows
the experiment, being available all the time to answer any question
from the participant or to act in any way that is necessary to assure
the wellbeing of participants.
In this laboratory, you will attempt to install
the vibrational state as many times as possible. You may choose
to do so sited in the armchair or lying on the mattress.
The main objectives of this laboratorial
experiment are:
1. To verify the extent of benefits [if any]
of this type of laboratory in terms of stimulating the production
of personal experiences;
2. To expand the knowledge regarding the how the energetic, holothesenic
pattern of the environment can influence in the production of experiences,
contributing to the improvement of these laboratories in order to
assist individuals interested in cultivating and controlling their
extrasensory perceptions;
3. To contribute in the understanding of the different type of occurrences
that would be typical to each of the existing laboratories;
3. To develop new techniques, based on the observed results, to
assist in pedagogical processes;
4. Compare the results of the same individuals, under similar conditions,
when they are in their houses with the results they are able to
achieve in this ‘laboratory’ environment.
