Editor’s Foreword
As our readers probably know, with this issue we celebrate both the 8th year of the Journal of Conscientiology and the launch of the Portuguese edition of this periodical. The latter has only been possible due to the support of Editares, a Brazilian-based organization devoted to the publishing and distribution of works in conscientiology as well as the promotion of conscientiological ideas to a wider audience. We would like to express our gratitude to the Editares team.
The JC is a publication dedicated to studies in the area of conscientiology, being committed to acting as the official medium for the presentation, debate and interchange of ideas related to the study within that field. As such, the journal is proud to be an unbiased vehicle, absent of ideological censorship, and open to all structured and wellfounded papers that contribute to the discussion and expansion of knowledge within the scope of conscientiology. The journal is a publication that does not favor any organization, either financially or ideologically, being therefore supra-institutional and self-sustained.
As a result of its policy of universalism, transparency, and openness to debate, the journal has, since its inception, published articles from researchers connected to 21 different organizations, from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, France, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Today, the Journal of Conscientiology is distributed in exactly 30 countries and has been donated internationally, since its first issue, to the collection of specialized libraries worldwide.
This issue presents the reader with contributions that revolve around themes of significant importance. The first paper, by Massimiliano Sassoli de’ Bianchi, is a conceptual speculative work about the origin and structure of reality. De’ Bianchi designates ‘theorice’ as an instrumental mechanism in the evolution of reality whose fractal structuring, as proposed in the article, relates to the condition of cosmoconsciousness. The article also introduces the concept of cosmocompletism.
The paper by Marco Antonio Nascimento addresses thosenic restructuring and the process he calls ‘mentalsomatic parasurgery’. Nascimento shares the personal experiences that led him to the formulation of the ideas presented in the article, including hypotheses about types of parasurgery, such as the pathothosenectomy, a technical procedure employed by the helpers for the removal of pathothosenes.
Nelson Abreu offers his impressions of the 24th Annual Society for Scientific Exploration Meeting, which was held last May in Florida, USA. A number of renowned lecturers spoke at this event, including researchers of conscientiology.
Thatianna Pedroso contributes the personal account of this issue, relating a conscious projection she experienced and sharing various questions that had arisen in her mind as a result of her out-of-body experience.
Details of events in fields of study related to conscientiology that are taking place in the near future can be found in the section ‘News and Notices’.
In the ‘Correspondence’ section, readers will find three letters sent to the editor in response to an earlier article by Michael Ross entitled The Quest for Proof of Out-of-Body Experiences and Allied Phenomena.
It is worth mentioning that we encourage the submission of letters ‘to the editor’ about articles – either in favor of or in disagreement with the ideas presented. Such correspondence is a fundamental element of freedom of expression, the Mentalsomatic exercise of scientific debate, and the fruitful exchange of ideas. Thus, we would like to take this opportunity to invite members and readers of the Journal to send their letters with comments about texts and themes that were published in any of the previous issues of this periodical.
Finally, we would like to remind readers who are not familiar with the specific terminology used in this publication that the glossary of conscientiological terms is published annually in the Journal in both English and Spanish, and is also available on the Internet. For English, please see www.iacworld.org/English/Resources and for Spanish visit www.iacworld.org/Spanish/Resources.

Theorice and the Global Structure of the Evolving Reality
Massimiliano Sassoli de’ Bianchi
ABSTRACT: This article is a conceptual speculative statement about the origin and structure of our reality. We propose to view the consciousnesses’ holosomas as living holotheories of reality, evolving through the instrument of theorice and producing a fractal structuring of reality as a whole. We hypothesize that the fractal structuring process is responsible, through the phenomenon of morphoconnection, for the condition of cosmoconsciousness. The concept of cosmocompletism is introduced and its consequences for a global evolutionary scenario discussed.
SUMARIO: Este artículo es una afirmación especulativa conceptual sobre el origen y estructura de nuestra realidad. Proponemos considerar los holosomas de las conciencias como holoteorías vivas de la realidad, evolucionando a través del instrumento teática y produciendo uma estructuración fractal de la realidad como un todo. Formulamos la hipótesis de que el proceso de estructuración fractal sea el responsable, a través del fenómeno de morfoconexión, por la condición de cosmoconciencia. Introducimos el concepto de cosmocompletismo y discutimos sus consecuencias para un escenario evolutivo global.

Massimiliano Sassoli de’ Bianchi received his PhD in theoretical physics in 1995, from the Federal Institute of Technology, in Lausanne, Switzerland. He is the author of a number of research articles, published in international journals, mainly on problems of mathematical quantum scattering theory. He started studying Conscientiology in London in 2004.
Mentalsomatic Parasurgery and Thosenic Restructuring
Marco Antonio do Nascimento
ABSTRACT: This article is based in the personal experience of its author during one of the Applied Conscientiology courses undertaken in the laboratory of Thosenology of the Center for Higher Studies of Conscientiology, in Iguassu Falls, Brazil. The article discusses the laboratorial occurrence perceived as a mentalsomatic parasurgery, along with its dynamics, stages, elements, consequences, and utility. The author starts by presenting a few basic concepts of Thosenology in order to facilitate the understanding of the account of the experiment by those less familiar with the subject. The text concludes with the presentation of a preliminary hypothesis for the understanding of such accounts, under the perspective of Holosomatics and Thosenology.
SUMARIO: Este artículo se basa en la vivencia personal del autor en el laboratorio de Pensenología del Centro de Altos Estudios de la Concienciología, en Foz de Iguazú, Brasil, durante uno de los periodos de inmersión del curso de Concienciología Aplicada. Discute acontecimientos laboratoriales subjetivos percibidos, como es el caso de una paracirugía mentalsomática, su dinámica, etapas, elementos, consecuencias y utilidades. Inicialmente, se presentan algunos conceptos básicos de la Pensenología para fornecer, a los lectores poco familiarizados con este asunto, subsidios para entender este relato experimental. El texto finaliza con la presentación de una hipótesis preliminar al respecto de lo relatado, desde el punto de vista de la Holosomática y de la Pensenología.
RESUMO: Este artigo, baseado em uma vivência pessoal do autor durante uma das imersões do curso de Conscienciologia Aplicada no laboratório de Pensenologia do Centro de Altos Estudos da Conscienciologia, em Foz do Iguaçu, Brasil, discute as ocorrências laboratoriais subjetivas percebidas como uma paracirurgia mentalsomática, sua dinâmica, etapas, elementos, conseqüências e utilidades. São apresentados inicialmente alguns conceitos básicos da Pensenologia para fornecer aos leitores pouco familiarizados com o assunto subsídios para o entendimento do relato experimental. O texto é finalizado com a apresentação de uma hipótese preliminar para compreensão destes relatos, sob a ótica da Holossomática e a da Pensenologia.

Report on the 24th Annual Society for Scientific Exploration Meeting
Nelson Abreu
May 19, 2005, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
To most attendees of the 24th annual meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration, the earth-shattering implications of psi research seem to deserve our time and resources like no other enterprise. Yet, psi research over the last century within the U.S. has received funding equivalent to what mainstream psychology research receives in one month. In fact, more funding is available to study pig reproduction than to research concerning life after death. Dogmatic, materialistic scientists censor the truly meaningful questions and feed the spiritual crisis of Earth, because their basic premise is that there is no meaning - life started by accident; there is no spirit, and nothing survives physical death.
The incoherence and sophism in mainstream science can be more bizarre than psi phenomena itself or even quantum non-locality. Both mainstream media and science’s editor-censors overlook, scoff at, or outright refuse to consider the facts. Yet, promising rigorous research, the intellect of many of humanity’s geniuses like William James, Schrödinger, and Bohm, and a large body of anecdotal accounts throughout time should capture the attention of any rational, curious human being.
About a hundred individuals turned out, from throughout the USA and Europe, to hear Dr. Edgar Mitchell (the 6th man to land on the moon) describe his expansion of consciousness and other psychic anomalies he has witnessed first hand. From the spontaneous remission of his mother’s glaucoma to telekinesis in a controlled environment, Dr. Mitchell pronounced these phenomena as real (not “unexplainable” as misquoted in the April 22 Gainesville Sun report), even if we don’t fully understand them at the moment.
Through experiments, experiences, observations, and discourses our concepts about life, reality, evolution, truth, rationality, reason, knowledge, science versus “pseudo-science,” rigorous protocols versus sensory leakage, and genuine phenomena in a sea of fraud have been explored. Investigation continues on a variety of controversial subjects like: alternative therapies, and phenomena related to subtle vital energies (known to billions as chi in China and known by hundreds of other names all over the world).
Brenda Dunne and Dr. Robert Jahn foresaw a Science of the Subjective that would replace current scientific “rules” which make too many assumptions about anomalous phenomena by failing to recognize factors such as: intention, oscillations in performance, irregular replicability, insensitivity to space-time distances, gender discrepancies in effect levels, and uncertainty as sources of anomalies. Such insights stem from rigorous engineering experiments over a quarter century at Princeton that have verified that humans can make small, but statistically significant effects on electronic and mechanical random processes. Adding to the military-sponsored research at Stanford Research Institute, these researchers, and others like physicist Russell Targ, have helped verify that we can gather information from a distance (remote viewing) beyond our five basic senses.
Dr. Marylin Schiltz of the Institute of Noetic Sciences described studies with Dr. Dean Radin (The Conscious Universe) in which people influenced the physiology of others, even helped heal from a distance. This type of research is so encouraging that they have attracted funds from the National Institutes of Health. Duke University engineers studied a man that can emit unusual levels of energy detected by sensors.
Zavalin’s Vanderbilt research on effects of multipolar fields on living systems was contrasted with our binary society and technology of “good or evil” and “0’s or 1’s.”
Of particular interest is the psi blocker effect, which is ignored in many tests by skeptics such as James Randi. The effect was rigorously demonstrated when the exact same experiment had significant results when performed by Dr. Schlitz but not when done by a skeptic colleague. Dr. Mitchell described how when certain colleagues were present during SRI experiments, the psychic’s performance was adversely affected.
The physicist Harris Walker (The Physics of Consciousness), progenitor of the Quantum Consciousness Theory, charged skeptics with stifling humanity’s progress throughout time. Typically, skeptics do not collaborate with researchers; they already have their minds made up, or merely guess at alternate explanations, and often employ flawed logical arguments and ad hominem attacks.
Michael Lydon (co-founder of the Science of Self Club at Queens College at the City University of New York, and a volunteer at the International Academy of Consciousness, exposed materialistic science’s metaphysical biases for arbitrary and/or cultural-historical reasons and argued that subjective experience is the basis of all science and, indeed, reality.
Time magazine’s Lemonick was very balanced in his skepticism during the conference and open to personal exploration of altered states like the out-of-body experience, but his article (Science on the Fringe, May 30) turned out shallow and excessively pejorative.
Even in mainstream science, such as entomology, Dr. Thomas Dykstra (SSE secretary; Dykstra Labs, Gainesville) finds great resistance to his research because it exposes irrational attachments to old ideas and glaring logical flaws in the archaic, dominant paradigm.
Ironically, while most people seem to believe in life after death, researchers like University of Arizona’s Dr. Gary Schwartz (The Afterlife Project) are not widely supported because many people do not often deeply investigate the research for themselves, instead opting to trust the dismissals of others.
In a society that avoids talking about death and whose dominant religious institutions dissuade individual exploration of the afterlife, Ian Stevenson’s U. of Virginia research (Children Who Remember Their Previous Lives) is as controversial as it is thought-provoking.
Off mic, during the breaks (when much of the more interesting dialogue takes place), many attendees recognized that the fear of death and of the “paranormal,” as reinforced by Hollywood’s sensationalism, was part of a major tool for manipulation of the masses. Fear of the paranormal contributes to the humanity’s deferral of responsibility. When people implicitly or explicitly offer their trust to Hollywood, they stultify their search for truth and forfeit their consciential liberty to corporate-industrial-bellicose, antiecological, anti-ethical policy, as well as consumerism, and the robotization of individuals on a grand scale.
Most clairvoyants or individuals who have had lucid OBE’s or NDE’s lose their fear of death and excessive materialism after having these direct extraphysical experiences. When asked why they prioritized this line of knowledge, guests revealed it was not primarily research, but a profound, visceral, paradigm-busting personal experience.
David Lindsay (director of the International Academy of Consciousness New York office) invoked Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions, one of the most quoted works of the 20th century, which demonstrated that scientific progress comes in revolutionary departures from “normal science.” In that spirit, Lindsay described an avant-garde, spherical Waking Physical Immobility Laboratory (in Portugal) that is completely bare (“but only in the physical aspect”) except for a recliner. This sort of “Laboratory” is where a more multidimensional science conducts its experiments. Under the Consciential Paradigm, researchers develop an integral and “multidimensional” understanding of consciousness, bioenergy, and its related anomalies while they strive to recover one-third of life usually spent floating unconscious above the body. They explore other dimensions of reality, individually or in “joint projections,” and compare notes afterwards. “Are we going to wait around for others to catch up? The Newtonian paradigm is out the window!” – says Lindsay. In the absence of convincing repeatable experiments or “extraphysical vision goggles,” OBErs invite you to investigate for yourself!

“The greatest strength of science is that it is rooted in actual experience. The great weakness of contemporary science is that it admits only certain types of experience as legitimate.” – Nobel laureate physicist David Bohm.
Proyección Asistida y Asistencial
Thatianna Pedroso
CONTEXTO
En Brasil, el día 21 del mes de abril es fiesta nacional. Con fiesta y sin las actividades de rutina, disfrutaba de mayor tiempo libre aquel fin de semana.
Soy graduada en Medicina Veterinaria y había iniciado el Máster hace aproximadamente dos meses y me encontraba bastante estresada. Como el estrés reduce la inmunidad biológica, contraje una gripe muy fuerte e incluso desarrollé una reacción alérgica al medicamento antigripal.
Para el día de fiesta, había planeado descansar y cuidarme um poco más, pues delante de toda esta situación era evidente la falta de auto-organización. La desorganización cotidiana y el descanso con las bioenergías me colocaban en un receso proyectivo obvio. Yo estaba con muchas cuestiones personales para responder.
REMEMORACIÓN
El 24 de abril de 2005, domingo, desperté sintiendo baños energéticos y con una rememoración clara.
De inicio, recordé estar con un amigo y, por telepatía, él me dijo: “Te voy a llevar a conocer un lugar, allá es diferente, vas a ver...”. Hallé extraño que este amigo hablara conmigo por telepatía, ya que intrafisicamente no es una persona con afinidad a las ideas de Concienciología o de la multidimensionalidad.
Entonces, recuerdo percibir que estábamos en una especie de hospital, en un corredor enorme, con paredes blancas. A lo largo de la pared “se amontonaban” personas, digo amontonaban porque la sensación era realmente esa, de basura, escombro. No había camas, tan solo colchones, o ni eso, y las personas quedaban todas aglomeradas.
Ninguna de esas personas tenía una apariencia agradable, em verdad, todas tenían alguna deformidad. Algunas sangraban incesantemente, a otras les faltaban algunas partes del cuerpo, em cuanto otras parecían estar muertas y deteriorándose allí mismo. Las escenas eran chocantes para mí, pero entre tantas personas, destacaba una mujer acostada en una cama. Un enfermero percibió que yo la miraba, entonces suspendió aquel resto de cuerpo – tan solo un tronco sin piernas, sin uno de los brazos y parte del otro – y me dijo que ella había sufrido un accidente por aplastamiento y que a pesar de eso, estaba feliz por estar viva. Aquella escena em especial era impactante, un resto de soma, con fragmentos de tejido colgando... y aquel hombre tratándola con tanto cariño y respeto.
Quien abrió la puerta fue una enfermera, al vernos dijo que iba a buscar a alguien para que conociéramos. Yo tenía mucho miedo. Apareció entonces, una mujer rubia, de cabellos cortos, com apariencia joven, pero con una tos horrible, que la dejaba cianótica (amoratada). En principio, por lo menos en apariencia, aquello no era “horroroso”.
La chica pidió disculpas por la tos y explicó que había desarrollado un cáncer de pulmón como consecuencia del tabaquismo. Ella continuaba tosiendo. Yo estaba apocada com aquella situación. Ella volvió a hablar, explicando que allí ellos no solamente trataban mutilados, sino también personas como ella, y que a todos les gustaba mucho cuando alguien los visitaba, porque eso era raro y la mayoría de las personas sentían asco de ellas.
La rememoración se fragmentó en ese momento. El próximo recuerdo era estar sentada en una hamaca y percibir a mi lado la pierna de alguien. Esta pierna estaba muy herida, la piel parecia haber sido derretida. No resistiendo, toqué, estaba curiosa con la sensación. Solo entonces percibí a la señora de aquellas piernas acostada en la hamaca, pues se levantó al tocarla. Pude ver que esta mujer tenía las mismas heridas extendidas por todo el cuerpo, incluso en el rostro.
La chica rubia, tosiendo, nos presentó a una amiga y nos dijo que ella era una recién llegada y que todavía no había recibido ninguna visita. Curiosa, pregunté el motivo por el cual su piel estaba con aquella apariencia. Ella respondió que estaba en casa, cocinando, cuando la bombona de gas explotó. Inicialmente, se sintió bien, pero después percibió innumerables ampollas y quemaduras por su cuerpo. Desde entonces ella estaba en aquel hospital, toda quemada.
La señora quemada continuó hablando. Dijo que estaba muy triste, pues desde su llegada al hospital no había recibido ninguna visita, ni siquiera de los familiares, y que desde el accidente no hacía algo que a ella le gustaría mucho hacer: dar un abrazo a alguien. Luego ella comenzó a llorar. Pregunté si un abrazo no provocaría dolor en su piel fina y con fisuras. La enfermera respondió que no con un movimiento de cabeza. En ese momento, la abracé.
Ese fue el último recuerdo visual de la proyección, pero todavia pude oír a alguien decir que en ambientes como aquel todos quieren y precisan de atención, y que quien tiene condiciones debe darles ese cariño.
CUESTIONES
Con todas esas escenas tan frescas en la mente y con uma rememoración tan clara, comencé a preguntarme: “¿Sería el fin del receso proyectivo en el que me encontraba? ¿Cuál es la razón de rememorar justamente esa experiencia?”
Estas no eran las únicas preguntas. Quien me acompañó por toda la proyección, ¿era mi amigo o un amparador transfigurado? Los enfermeros, ¿no serían también amparadores? Y aquellas personas “amontonadas”, ¿eran concines o conciexes? ¿Por qué los familiares no las visitaban? Y aquellas que parecían estar muertas, ¿estaban realmente muertas (¿eran solo somas?) o eran conciexes en sueño reparador?
A pesar de la cantidad de dudas, la mayor de ellas era: al final, ¿qué, era la “cosa horrorosa” del otro lado de la puerta? ¿Sería la reacción que tiene la mayoría de las personas por aquellas que son diferentes? Podría incluso ser ésta la respuesta, pero em aquel momento, no podía pensar en otra cosa que no fuera producto de mi propio miedo.
Además de las dudas, quedaban las certezas. La primera, de haber hecho asistencia a aquellas conciencias; y la segunda, todavia mayor, la certeza de haber sido asistida. Pues había enfrentado mi miedo de interactuar y ultrapasado la superficialidad para ver las conciencias como ellas realmente son y con las necesidades que realmente tienen.
