Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Art Bell opens with a caller named Rob from Michigan who claims to have struck a large, hair-covered creature with his car at high speed on a rural highway. Rob describes the animal as weighing roughly 700 pounds with long brown hair, a flat face, and horse-like teeth, now stored in his underground fallout shelter and possibly still alive. Art advises him to contact a veterinarian and agrees to send a Bigfoot investigator.
Dr. Marilyn Schlitz, Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, then joins Art for an extensive discussion on psi research and consciousness studies. She describes her own remote viewing experiment between Detroit and Rome that produced six direct hits out of ten trials, with odds against chance of four in a million. Schlitz details her laboratory studies showing that one person can measurably influence another person's physiology at a distance under double-blind conditions.
The conversation covers groundbreaking clinical studies where distant healing intentions improved health outcomes for AIDS patients regardless of the healer's religious tradition. Schlitz also discusses her staring detection experiments, online psi tests at the IONS website, and the relationship between belief and psychic performance in research settings.
