The Potential Effects of Human Group Emotion and Subjective Novelty on the Statistical Behaviour of a Random Event Generator: Exploratory Study by Joey M. Caswell et. al.
A series of preliminary field experiments investigating the phenomenon of consciousness-correlated effects on Random Event Generator (REG) devices was recently conducted by our group, which revealed interesting effects on these random physical systems associated with subjectively emotional events occurring in the immediate environment. We have since explored a range of novel settings in the context of this apparent “FieldREG” effect. This has included a number of specific environments which expand upon the previous literature in this area by investigating additional phenomena typically associated with classic parapsychology. While the results obtained for these particular experiments supported our initial hypotheses in general, the re-examination of a religious setting proved particularly inconsistent, while still presenting some intriguing overall results. Exploratory theoretical considerations are suggested for future research. See http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/371
Premonitions: A Global Online Statistical Tracking Study of Precognitive Predictions by J. Miguel Gaona et. al.
A number of interesting and testable theories of precognitive information transfer have been posited, and focus on the potential role of both ultraweak photon emissions and the geomagnetic field. While many experiments examining this anomalous phenomenon have been previously conducted, a precognitive study of a magnitude similar to the Premonitions project (ThePremonitions.com) has not yet been undertaken to our knowledge. By using an internet-based study to statistically examine this intriguing occurrence, the main objective of Premonitions is to acquire data from a large population of participants from across the globe. Furthermore, if some individuals are truly capable of receiving or accessing this apparently non-local information for accurate prediction of future events, a significant increase in the available sample size should increase the “signal resolution” for the detection of global non-local information.

Dialogue on Alternating Consciousness: From Perception to Infinities and Back to Free Will by Claus Janew
Can we lead back consciousness, reality, awareness, and free will on a single basic structure without giving up any of them? Can the universe exist in both real and individual ways without being composed of both? This metaphysical dialogue founds consciousness and freedom of choice on the basis of a new reality concept that also includes the infinite as far as we understand it. Just the simplest distinction contains consciousness. It is not static, but a constant alternation of perspectives. From its entirety and movement, however, there arises a freedom of choice being more than reinterpreted necessity and unpredictability. Although decisions ultimately involve the whole universe, they are free in varying degrees also here and now. The unity and openness of the infinite enables the individual a creativity that directly and indirectly enters into all other individuals without impeding them. A contrary impression originates only in a narrowed awareness. But even the most conscious and free awareness can neither anticipate all decisions nor extinguish individuality. Their creativity is secured. See http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/372
The Physicist's Dilemma: Ultimate Reality – The Non-Physical Nature of Consciousness by James Kowall
A physical argument is made for the non-physical nature of consciousness. It is argued the source of consciousness is the ultimate nature of reality. This source cannot be found in the physical world, but in what remains when everything in the physical world disappears. Traditionally, this ultimate reality is called the void.

An Integral World Perspective by Kenneth K. Chao
The question regarding possible existence of past and future lives is addressed in this article, which leads to the intimate connection between Physical World and Consciousness World as two sides of one coin. The examination of genuine unconsciousness reveals the dynamic and fundamental nature of consciousness with a proposed axiom: genuine unconsciousness is identical to nothingness both physically and psychologically. Because over 95% of our universe is composed of indirectly detectable “dark” material, it is quite possible that conscious live forms beyond our current observation limit can exist. A hierarchy structure of consciousness, awareness and certainty, together with the spacetime concept are used to explain the phenomena of particle entanglement and double-slit experiment in quantum mechanics.

Window to the Past: The Role of Quantum Entanglement in Memory by Gary Gillespie
This paper suggests that the static nature of time-space, a discovery in physics, implies that quantum communication plays a role in memory. The illusion of the flow of time and the nature of quantum entanglement are discussed. Arguments are given for a non-reductionist alternative to the standard model of cognition in which memory is stored in time-space. In this view the neural machinery of the brain receives and interprets information states embedded in time-space. See http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/365
