Have you ever thought of someone just before they called, or suddenly sensed a friend’s emotions from afar? These moments often feel fleeting or coincidental, yet they may hint at something more real and measurable than many realize.
The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) is proud to announce the launch of The Science of Life: Exploring Biology and Consciousness, a free curriculum designed for high school educators and curious learners. This resource arrives at a pivotal time: today’s students are entering a rapidly changing world and approaching science with an unprecedented openness to questions about life, consciousness, and the nature of reality.
IONS offers direct experiences backed by science to deepen how we understand ourselves and our world. In a previous blog, we explored Looking at Mind-Matter Interactions in a New Way.
Have you ever had the feeling that someone is staring at you from behind or at a distance, only to turn in that direction and confirm your suspicion? Many of us know that feeling, though it doesn’t always prove accurate. Still, it raises a fascinating question: is this simply coincidence, or could it point to a deeper phenomenon?
Do you ever know or feel what someone else feels or thinks? Have you sensed a loved one’s emotions without speaking a word, or felt your twin’s presence even when apart? These kinds of experiences, often called “telepathic,” are at the heart of our Mind2Mind study.
In celebration of Edgar’s birthday, we’re sharing a recording from the Science of Mind publications, titled Spaceship Earth.
Dr. Garret Yount, a molecular biologist-turned-consciousness researcher, had placed Petri dishes filled with human cells into a Faraday cage—a steel-walled room that blocks outside electromagnetic interference. Then he invited in a healer to “treat” the cells with nothing but intention. I know how wild that sounds. But what happened next—measurable shifts in cellular biology and even in a random number generator placed nearby—set the tone for one of the most fascinating interviews I’ve had since launching The DNA of Things.
In Chapter 8 of Dan Brown’s latest thriller, The Secret of Secrets, noetic scientist Katherine Solomon describes a startling experiment: a subject’s brain reacts before a computer even chooses which image to display. It sounds incredible, but it is based on actual scientific research.
When you hear the word channeling, what comes to mind? Many of us would think of Bashar, Seth, Barbara Marciniak, Edgar Cayce, etc. In other words, most people think of trance channeling, where a person allows a supposed entity (deceased spirits, aliens, angels, higher self, etc.) to use their body as a vehicle to communicate.
Our belief in unseen entities, such as spirits, angelic beings, extraterrestrial intelligence, and more, transcends culture and time. These non-physical beings are often believed to be capable of influencing the physical world, and can be a malignant force, such as malevolent spirits causing illness (for example, the “evil eye”), or may provide healing and other benefits (for example, through holy water or “divine intervention”). The prevalence alone of these beliefs across societies warrants scientific interest and exploration. However, it was the unexpected reports of non-physical beings in our previous energy medicine research that prompted us to further explore the role of non-physical beings in energy healing.
