#5 The "inherent bias" is a result of the sloppy definition of terms and "understandings" of what is being addressed. How many in science can define or agree on what they are addressing or dealing with when they use this word "Consciousness"?? How many know the derivation of the term as used by them?And so, being caused to come to grips with just how devastating this issue of non-comprehended and mis-comprehend terms and definitions are to the scientific and medical (and other) communities I am now writing this missive to you.
Example:

#5 Not understanding what the subject actually addresses and deals with. Too many think it is "woo-woo" due to their misunderstandings about that the subject is and addresses!
#7 Introduce a rigorous undertaking of authoritatively DEFINING THE TERMS OF REFERENCE.
Socrates is said to have stated variously: "A definition of terms is the beginning of wisdom." Or, “A definition of terms is necessary for attainment of wisdom.”
This because, without correct definitions of terms understood by all participants, no correct transfer of knowledge can occur. . . . to be noted is the point that the word "Science" and "Scientific" is based on the Latin for "To know" or Knowing.
And too many in the "scientific" community don't apply this or don't know it. And so, there is incessant disagreement, argument and non-understanding regarding what is being addressed and communicated.
#8 Everybody being in agreement on terms of reference and understanding what the research addressed and exactly what it found! That is not the current situation.
Opps . . . one item I had in my original response I've just remembered refers to an example of the misuse of misunderstood, conflicting terms of reference. It relates to our "sister group" IONS.
Recently Dean Radin was doing an online webinar talking about his research work and referring CONSTANTLY to "the MIND" as though it is the creative source of things in our lives. In the context of his presentation he was referring to the MIND and using the term in place of where I and others would refer to and use the word "the Human Spirit" or the "spirit" or "our spiritual presence." It is a classic example of misapplication of jargon and terms . . . and is a BIG reason this subject is not gaining the recognition it needs.
As a note, the "mind" only appears to have causative power because we Spiritual Presences created it to have automatic responses to solve situations on our behalf and to our benefit . . . otherwise it is simply a recording monster.
