Many skeptics will say that an outcome of a particular experiment was simply due to chance. This is of course a fair comment but it would be good to know exactly what odds we are talking about. A simple experiment might be to shuffle a normal pack of playing cards and arrange them in a pile, face down. Then… Read more →

We had already noted the success (O) had with identifying colours so we tried a new experiment with a pack of standard playing cards. He held the pack of 52 cards face down and simply had to predict the colour (red or black). The experiment started with a warm up of 10 cards. He got 4 right and 6… Read more →

I started off by brushing my teeth, then washing my face, then I came back and stretched for a few minutes. By this point I was already feeling relaxed and at ease.I got into a criss cross position fingertips touching posture straight. As I focused on my breathing and observed, I could feel this overwhelming sense of peace lingering… Read more →
Testimonial (A) 9 years old.
With no preamble we simply asked (A) to put on a Uamal blackout mask and asked her what she could see. She was able with confidence to point at and correctly indentify objects around the room. We gave her a stub of a candle which she immediately said was red. This was not that amazing as virtually all our… Read more →

I decided to do some blindfold experiments with 2 of my grandchildren (S) who is 10 years old and (O), 12 years old. After blindfolding (S) I gave her a number of different coloured books. She was obviously trying to guess the colours and got everyone wrong! Next, I blindfolded (O) with (S) acting as a witness. Firstly, I… Read more →

Does God Exist?
This is often a question that children ask their parents. If the parent has religious beliefs then the answer is simply yes, and is usual accompanied by an explanation about having faith. But if the parent is a non believer then it gets a little trickier. A scientific argument could be offered stating that there is no proof. But… Read more →
The Truth about our Senses
The way we generally think about our senses is completely wrong! For example, light and sound are considered as external energies that are perceived by means of our eyes and ears. Let us consider the mechanism of seeing. Light, we understand, is composed of tiny photons of energy. These pass through the pupil/lens of our eyes and eventually strike… Read more →

One Sunday morning our granddaughter (A) was having breakfast when she suddenly asked, “Where are all those bells coming from?” My wife replied, “What bells?” “The bells, they are really loud!” At this point we realized that (A) had just experienced an Awakening – while eating porridge! As experienced Meditators since the mid 1980s we were very familiar with… Read more →

When I close my eyes I see all kind of colours. You can compare it with a rainbow. Most of the time I experience the colours very intense. I don’t like to stop when I meditate. Some examples of colours which I see are red and white. I have also seen yellow, magenta and orange. At the moment I… Read more →
