This channel is a breath of fresh air. The way these subjects are approached without hyperbole, exaggeration, or the typical childishness of the people who typically discuss these subjects. Whereas other channels are edgelords mad at daddy and trying to find an identity, this feels like a professor giving a lesson. Nothing edgy, nothing stylized, not trying to be cool or anything, just a real, serious discussion. Not to insult the teenaged edgelords out there, we were all there once.

[@Jason-kv7gm]

Try meeting them in person. I really love this channel, its content and its creator's character. Fresh air in this world of masks and lockdowns.

[@notundermywatch3163]

This is very reminding of the 100th Monkey Effect. If you haven´t heard of it , scientists in the 1950s observing the behavior of monkeys on Kojima island Japan as monkeys on this island learned to wash sweet potatoes in water before eating them, this unprecedented behavior suddenly and inexplicably appeared in unrelated groups of monkeys in the neighbouring islands. NB: Kojima monkeys do not swim.

You’ve just described the process to Remote View, better called Controled Remote View! Great channel and great information!!!!!

[@Pamela_Hamida]

Since I was a child I ALWAYS had such a creative imagination... as I grew up I was conditioned out of it to some extent until I started ascending consciously. I started to realize my imagination was actually a portal way through to the astral realm and there I can converse with aspects of live or deceased people. This video really helped solidify that experience for me! Really love this content... it resonates so deeply 💗

[@christopherchristopher4482]

My mom talked about this. When I was a kid, she and I would sit on the patio with a shuffled deck of cards and try to send each other the image of the card selected. Each was random. The first few were never successful but after ten minutes of locking into the game, we'd nail 7 or 8 cards and their color in a row. Thank you for the book recommendation. In my Amazon cart :-)

[@Jason-kv7gm]

Nice. I will try this out.

[@ItsAlwaysMeAgain]

😂 This is just mind blowing for a person like me, who only found out 6 months ago that people can actually visualize anything in there minds lol. For 41 years i thought that that was just a figure of speech ! I have aphantasia, so when i shut my eyes there is darkness. So the idea that someone can visualize something is mind blowing 😂 so that 2 people can see the same thing, that is going over my head!

[@African2102]

Aphantasia leaves me questioning it, I mean I see black behind my eyelids too but a visualization starts abstract and with more focus, time, meditations becomes more tangible and percievable. You dream right? I feel if people with aphantasia still dream, then maybe they might just not be utilizing that imagination muscle. I could be wrong. I've never actually spoken in person to someone with it, but that's my current thinking that I'm randomly sharing. Stay well :)

[@fairenough7984]

I learned, over the years, how to distinguish my imagination from precognitive visions of something that was going to actually occur. It has helped me tremendously to know when I am being carried away by imaginings based on fear or wishful thinking, and actually having a premonition of something yet to come.

[@TheHeartCentre]

I absolutely love this channel. Speaking of channels- when coming into a state of neutrality, I find I can receive the messages much easier. When there is no emotion attached to it. Also feeling how it comes into my head and from which direction 😊

[@robgau2501]

I absolutely love Rupert Sheldrake. He has had a huge impact on my life because his genius has given me the evidence of what I've suspected about the universe all along. His work is priceless. I also love his work on ancestral memories. His theories are vital to my beliefs about reality.

[@GamePhysics]

I think everyone have had weird experiences just thinking about someone and then they call you, or you meet them the following day etc.. It's weird that so many people don't believe in the collective unconcious and thinks it's crazy when it's most definitely real. Another example I like to use is the fact that the bow and arrow seemed to appear around the world in different cultures at roughly the same time. And needless to say this was before global digital communication. :P

[@jackparrow2954]

Interesting explanation. Great breakdown I hope you talk about this subject a little more in the future

[@SatsumaDiaries]

Great video and topic. In my experience, Spirit can use our imagination as a medium through which to communicate. You can project an image in your mind like a pool of water or a book and ask your guides to use that image to speak through. I find they can do this when you bring up an emotion too or a thought. You can turn the mental tap on and they will continue the thread. Also, true intuitive hits feel more multi-dimensional than our pure imagination. Inspired psychic hits will have a specific texture to them, because they’re pulling in from the timeless realms often they’ll feel beyond time. You’ll recognize they’re truly psychic when the language of the message is slightly more advanced than your personal vocabulary. Or if they contain insights you didn’t already have on a personal level. To me, inspired communication feels like it’s coming from an advanced being. Thank you for bringing up this point!

[@rahulnair7714]

Every time I watch your one of your videos I come away with something new or another refreshing point of view, I cannot thank you enough for this and really hope you would continue with videos like these along with the book reviews. The experiment you did made me laugh out loud! but also makes me wonder how literally (for lack of a better word) the collective takes what we put into it. It also reminds me of the mantra Aham Brahmasmi, meaning I am Brahman or I am all, which explains why something learned by one aspect is available to every other even across time.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Do you know about 'Indra's net'? I think it's a beautiful analogy...

[@rahulnair7714]

@@FoolishFishBooks Indra's net is really a very beautiful analogy describing that each reflects all. Also, if you consider the net as a whole, it perfectly describes physical existence. The net is also known as mayajaal or the web of illusion for the very same reason and is a very central concept in Hinduism, which teaches that the world of the senses is fleeting and one caught up in satisfying earthly pleasures is chained to it and doomed to an endless cycle of rebirths. The whole point of Hinduism is to escape maya or the web of Indra (however beautiful it may seem). Indra and his heavenly court of demigods, interestingly, are also responsible for the everyday affairs of physical life and much of the Vedas are dedicated to pleasing them with rituals. Only the Vedanta (End of the Vedas) deals with the science of self-realization. The net also I think describes the fractal nature of the universe. Just my thoughts on the subject, it has been drilled into my head since childhood :P

So glad this series popped up in my recommended, I have been searching for a good channel on this topic that didn't feel like click-baity new age parroting as well as reccomendations on books in this topic. Here I found both. Thank you for the work you put in here!

[@lunarookwood1326]

Again, another one of your videos which has popped up, but not due to any online research on my part and therefore induced by the KZbin algorithm... but rather it has popped up organically as a synchronicity at a time whereby collective consciousness is of particular interest to me. Thank you for this video 🙏😊

[@Ignis696]

I really like that you make a bridge between explored ideas and recommended books. In that way your esoteric talks tie very well in with your book reviews. Rubert Sheldrake has done some rather promising, if not convincing, experiments but I was informed through a talk by him some years ago that it was usually tough to gain financial support for these, even despite the fact that an experiment could be carried out rather cheaply. I think the phenomenon that you cover is what Sheldrake calls "morphic fields". On a more humorous note, your video makes me associate to one of the opening scenes in Ghosbusters in which Bill Murray runs a telepathy experiment akin to the ones you described. Bill lie about the test results, just to hit on a female test participant , haha. Sexual temptation goes indeed hand in hand with esoteric and spiritual practice. History and the imagination of cultists will approve ;)

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Haha! Yes, I remember that scene. Interestingly, yours is the second comment I've had today related to Ghostbusters. Someone was suggesting Tobit's book of Spirits in my video on 10 books for beginners 😄 That's exactly it! Morphic Resonance is the one 😁

[@aboitoo]

Just a little side note for anyone reading this that’s interested in the phenomenon behind the mice experiments. Look up *morphic resonance*

[@LilliamSlasher]

(from Rupert Sheldrake's wiki: "Morphic resonance is not accepted by the scientific community and Sheldrake's proposals relating to it have been widely criticised. Critics cite a lack of evidence for morphic resonance and inconsistencies between its tenets and data from genetics, embryology, neuroscience, and biochemistry. They also express concern that popular attention paid to Sheldrake's books and public appearances undermines the public's understanding of science.")

Fantastic you’re bringing this subject up (this stuff always excites me). Yes when I first started practicing I was practicing on names given to me by my mothers friend. When I was relaying to my mothers friend on what I picked up on from one of the names I was given (most of the information I was picking up on with the first few names seemed too general for me to feel I was really onto something) I remember seeing a man making bags in the reading I was doing (this was in the imagination not out and about), but I thought that sounded silly I must of just made it up so I ignored it, so when talking to her (she was on the phone) she was agreeing with the information I picked up, then she said “O by the way he makes bags”, at that moment I felt a sudden surge of excitement, and fear. One moment I’m a material atheist just playing around with this stuff, the next I’m fully blown by the possibilities of the universe that’s lying within and without. But yes this stuff is very very real, keep practicing, it’s amazing.

[@carlosgabin5215]

hello i have been watching your channel now for a few months now and i love your content keep it up! I had to just say some thing about this one lol. I am an artist i was born one i like to say i have many interests and passions i have put time in an developed my skills. Art could/would be the same but i was never a passionate about it, when someone is born with something they dont have to work so hard at it. Over the last few years i guess one could say i have been growing spiritually. I realized a couple things, as there would be times that i wouldnt create work some lasting a few months, the longest a couple years. One, now that i have been somewhat consistant for the last couple of years when i first started back up how theraputic and devine it was to sit and create as if this is what i should do. Two, the creative process, sometimes i have to think or imaginate to create, but sometimes others "vision" would pop in side my head or as i like to say my third eye. Where they come from i dont know there could be many variables....subconciouss, someone elses thoughts transfers to me, spirits? also i can tell ur an artist by ur little doodle there and ur calligraphy brush pen, maybe u understand what i mean? now that i have mentioned it maybe u can do a video about the third eye/all seeing eye etc? Cheers keep up the good work

[@519MaLoNeY]

…about your question of when does our mind go from sending to receiving, from my experiences it behaves/appears like a torus field in terms of there’s always a inflow and an outflow of energy/information and learning to focus on one or the other is the real trick of it. . After we’re able to even sense such stuff. Super fun to work on :) And the entities part, for what it’s worth, if anything lol, I’ve come to understand the animal/beast type forms we encounter or see during initial stages of initiation are actually the manifestations of our inner and usually lower mind (shameful and embarrassing thoughts/ideas/memories). But I have been taught that when you do encounter a human like entity that’s obviously outside of the usual inner reflections i mentioned above they’re usually others trying to say what’s up. lol. It’s awesome you’ve experienced that man I’m jealous

[@liamgreen3851]

I was exposed the rate maze concept in Rupert Sheldrake videos as well. Nice clarification as to who conducted the original experiments. Completely amazing that data can move at the quantum level. And to think about what other entities across the galaxy and universe are working to “influence” entities here on earth.

[@lunarmaroon6609]

I really love your channel! It’s priceless really!! I love the examples you give on certain subjects and the explanations from your perspective also. The sincere manner and tone in which you deliver your understanding of a subject really gives an extra dimension to the information that you can’t get from reading a book in my opinion. Thank you so much for making these videos. Imagine a world in which the schools and colleges taught these subjects , along with yoga and meditation for the little ones gradually introducing more complex topics each year. What is more important for a human being than to know have the opportunity to attain this knowledge?

[@muliefriend4785]

One rat experiment I remember was when you put too many in one place, they eat each other.

[@SolveEtCoagula93]

It is often thought that Rupert Sheldrake conducted the 'rat experiment' himself - he didn't BUT I wrote this because the true story is even more interesting. The original work goes rightback to 1920 when W McDougall at Harvard noticed, as reported above, that new rats seemed to learn the maze quicker than their predecessors. Having no standard scientific explanation, F Crew at Edinburgh took up the challenge, largely in order to debunk the experiment. To his surprise he confirmed the original findings. This was then picked up by W Agar in Melbourne who not only got the same data but collaborated with Crew in order to show that the effect worked, regardless of distance. At the time the findings were heavily critised for all kinds of 'scientific' reasons - which is what science research does and, in itself, is correct. However, Agar wwent on to iron out the experimental criticism and over several years continued to refine the experiments. Even after addressing the experimental weaknesses, he continued to confirm the original findings. Finally in 1954 a report was published which addressed all the criticism and had amassed a huge amount of data which supported the original idea. Something was definately happening - something outside of the standard scientific model and for which there was no obvious explanantion, other than there was some type of 'connection' between all the animals. (This affect has been noticed in other life forms - but that is another story). Now, to me as a physicist, here is the sad but entirely predictable point - after all the research had been carried out, critised, refined, analysed and it STILL showed the affect you would think that Agar, et al., would be on their way to their Nobel prize. But no! Instead they simply ignored and, largely, forgotten about until Rupert brought them back into the headlines. It is a wonderful story and, in itself, hints at the potential that exists for all of us - indeed for everything. Thank you FF for this video.

[@venox314]

While you said 'actively imagining things' i directly thought of a football lol

[@NobodyHere]

I am very curious about these experiments! Especially the frog and the maze. Was the frequency of increasingly shorter time occurred beyond chance? Jung is always so hard to understand for me, especially when I had to tackle him independent of any guidance. But my understanding of his collective unconscious is more like a common denominator rather than icloud, but I am not too sure if I got that right. The implication though is that, I am not saying these things are not valid, but simply being devil's advocate if I may, the messages could have been communicated in other ways....and those rats in London and Sydney might have not run the maze under the same exact conditions enough to ensure that the variable under observation was indeed what you are observing.....? I am not trying to be an egg, as these are questions I often asked myself in my "quest". You know I am a "believer" and your first ever esoteric topic and personal experience was what drew me to your content "back in the day" (It was only last year!). Thanks for a topic always meaty enough worthy of sinking our collective teeth into!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

My understanding of Jung's collective unconscious idea is very much analogous to an i-cloud - literally, I, as a member of the Human race, am supposed to be able (under the right conditions) to access the experiences of any human being from any era. The Akashic records if you will. And Sheldrake's experiements were very thorough and repeated under many different conditions with the same (increaing) result. I've actually found a book in which he describes the experiments - probably more reliable than my memory of his description from a good few years ago: (Amazon associate links) UK: amzn.to/39nbx45 US: amzn.to/33RrUVz

[@NobodyHere]

@@FoolishFishBooks Ah. I need to go back to Jung's book where he first proposed the idea of the universal or collective unconscious. Because I distinctly remember thinking about icloud and finding out it is not quite that way. Will get back to you on what I can conclude! Thanks for those links!!

[@dakinilover]

Great video! Yeah, based on the cover and title I would not choose to read such book :) I've checked what else has Sally Kempton written and I think that I will check out her other books about Kali and Shakti. I'm reading now the book "Aghora. At the Left Hand of God" by Robert Svoboda which, among other things, delves into Kali and Shakti. What a coincidence! ;)

I know its a few months old at this point, but I just found your videos.

I love that i can always find something related to my experiences with this things on your chanel, sometimes i dont know exactly what to look for when researching because most sources are quacks and i dont feel identified at all with them.. You on the other hand, i imagine our daughters(not sure if you have a son xD) playing while we talk about this topics haha

In a similar vein, I also recommend checking out the work of Dean Radin. He's one of the most distinguished scientist in the ESP/Psi/Paranormal research field.

IMAGINE IM-A-GI-NE I'm a Genie

[@cognitivedissident4615]

Doesn't sound crazy to me. To think that the unlearned specialized complex behaviors, that species all over the world exhibit, are the result of random genetic mutations over time is what sounds crazy. Which begs the question, why does our species not benefit from Sheldrake's theory more readily? I would venture to say that it is our egos. I also see the present crisis as breaking down many egos.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I can 100% get behing all of that :/ I think a lot of people are afraid to think at all, and it seems to me that despite their stated mission to observe and change their opinion based on evidence, the majority of the scientific community can be as dogmatic and unprepared to accept evidence as the majority of the religious community are. I don't think it's about ideology, I think it's about being human. We don't have to search very far to find genius scientists who were shunned by their peers and had their funds cut off because their line of inquiry went against received ideas of "how things are". I'm sure future generation will think of him as we now think of Tesla et al.

[@chingchingbling2145]

Both "free will" and the "separate self" (or ego) are illusions, so therefore there really might not be a division between what we generate and what we pick up?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Of course, ultimately, you're absolutely right, I guess it depends on perspective. My words in this particular video are very much from the perspective of the local ego, informed by the times that it has been transcended.

Telepathy is much more easier than this. Just take it easy. Don't send information. Put an intention in your mind that you will be connected to the other person. Then just imagine. They will receive it. Keep it simple like everything is carrying out by a server computer. BTW, this universal connection is not unique to living organisms. In an experiment, scientists measured the time required for crystallizing a specific drug in their lab. They did the same procedure over and over again and the time got shorter and shorter each time. It seems to me that memories are being stored in a cloud storage, and not our brains. We can have access to this storage whenever we need it. However, the disturbing fact is that you can have access to the other portions as well (for example, you can read my personal information. Or any other data that exist in the cloud).. Just ask for any information and wait for the answer. Trust the information. These are not your imagination. Don't dismiss anything. You can't create anything out of nothing. If you are imagining something, then it exists somewhere in the universe. Tune your receiver and see what happens.

It sounds like the rats in Sydney are smarter than the ones in London.

What i dont understand is what is the utility of all this " magik" stuff if at the end you still believe that you are living on a spinning ball . Doesnt all this wisdom helps figure out the globe deception? In that case doesnt seems so powerful .

I have the same view with people who are supposedly awake yet they can't process flat earth. Flat earth is a litmus test in my eyes, to see how truly conscious a person is.

[@kotomideimos7812]

What does flat earth even has to do with magick ?

[@DigitalAwareness]

@@kotomideimos7812 A persons level of consciousness. If they are conscious enough to be aware of the magical nature of the reality they should be awake enough to realize that we live in a realm or plane of existence. Flat Earth is a realization, a shift in consciousness, along with it comes a whole new perception of reality. It destroys a lot of paradigms.

[@kotomideimos7812]

@@DigitalAwareness is the world really has to be flat in order for it to be magical then? Or are you just talking about it like a symbolic thing

[@DigitalAwareness]

@@kotomideimos7812 I'm saying they are both deep understandings of the nature of our reality. When you are conscious of the one you should be conscious of the other. So people who are only conscious of magic but deny that we live in a realm are fooling themselves and are still very unconscious. I'm being very literal.

Magic is weaker than Imagineering

This stuff is very real. The thing is how do you get more skilled at it.
