TESTING OUR ABLITIES AND TRUTH OF EXISTENCE AS SPIRITUAL PRESENCES.
OK, here is the proposition. I am a member of IONS (Institute of Noetic Sciences) . . .
PS: here is the definition of the word "Noetic"
Noetic Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
Noetic is related to noesis, a rare noun that turns up in the field of philosophy and refers to the action of perceiving or thinking. The most notable use of noetic might be in the name of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a research organization based in California that is devoted to studies of consciousness and the mind.

$100,000 Annual Prize Administered by IONS
We are thrilled to announce the establishment of the Linda G. O’Bryant Noetic Sciences Research Prize. This annual prize of $100,000 will be given to an individual or team whose research advances leading-edge science around consciousness, expanding our global reach. We are profoundly grateful to IONS Board Member and longtime supporter Linda G. O’Bryant for her generosity in establishing this visionary science prize.
“You are a machine made of meat.” (Marvin Minsky)
“You are nothing but a pack of neurons.” (Francis Crick)
These quotes represent the prevailing scientific understanding of consciousness based on 17th-century physics. These physicalist theories purport that consciousness emerges from physical substrates like neurons, which have evolved to become increasingly complex over time, ultimately leading to consciousness’ emergence (subjective awareness). By contrast, non-physical models do not assume that a physical substrate generates consciousness. Some even propose that consciousness is as fundamental as matter, energy, or spacetime. In this view — the perspective underlying most ancient, esoteric, and Eastern cultures — the physical world arises out of consciousness rather than the other way around. Could such a non-physicalist framework better explain the full range of reported human phenomenology? Scholars and scientists have debated these topics for thousands of years with no clear resolution. New experiments and scientific data are needed to inform this question to advance our understanding.
Prize Topic
The prize topic is the development of scientific tests of the theory that subjective phenomenological awareness is more than an emergent brain property. A viable theory must be practical and testable using currently available scientific methods. It must be an alternative to the materialist theory that consciousness solely originates from the (classical) physical structures of the brain.
Definitions:
Consciousness means the subjective sense of being aware of oneself and the environment.
Experiment means a rigorously designed scientific study, including conventional or novel instrumentation, predefined protocols, and statistical analyses, as appropriate.
Testable means the proposed theory must be falsifiable.
Practical means the proposed theory must be feasible, assuming adequate resources.
The winning essay will receive a cash prize of $100,000.

I am going to submit a proposal with your help . . .
I am going to write up a research/study to verify the existence of our Spiritual Presence and Spiritual Ability, Power and Capacity of AWARENESS . . . AKA "Consciousness" to these guys who like to complicate things and use obscure terms instead of the simple and direct.
The basis of my proposition is the attached "GOD STATE PROCESSES" that Alan wrote some moons ago.
I had cause to run it solo recently as a result of awarenesses attained from running the "Solutions Consequences" section of the Free Radical Identity Handling.
For you more clever members of the Forum, I do recommend both actions . . .
Running this "RELEASING OF SELF" Process revealed quite fascinating answers regarding how, and by what actions I had stuck myself trapped within and by my OWN ill-directed Life-Force and Powers.
So . . . for you guys willing, I'd like it for you to use the attached process and report to me (worksheet notes/extracts would be most useful!!!!) your wins and recovered powers.

PS . . . SHIT, the scanned single Page 1 is too big to attach (Christian, are we able to increase this capacity?? it is now limiting attachments to 128K . . . I am sure we earlier had the facility of attaching larger files on the earlier iteration of this app?
)
I'll now type it, also into a reply to this opening post because I fear I could be on the max character count for posts . . .
