Non-Local Consciousness Experiences, (NLCEs) encompass a much broader range of exceptional human experiences and capacities, which collectively demonstrate that consciousness is unbounded by space, time or form, i.e., the brain or the physical body. Therefore, in addition to and supplemented by STEs, this area of inquiry also provides an enormous body of evidence to conclude that consciousness in non-material, incorporeal and eternal.

NLCEs include such phenomena as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, levitation, miracle healings, the power of prayer, mediumship, channeling, interspecies communication and much more. NLCEs collectively reveal many evidential indicators that human beings are more than their physical bodies; that the five senses are not the only means of perceiving reality or obtaining information; that the future can sometimes be predicted with incredible accuracy; and that mind or intention can direct and influence matter, as demonstrated in the field of torsion physics.

What is the brain? What is the mind? What is consciousness? Are mind and consciousness merely the bi-product of physical brain processes, or are they something that transcends brain functioning? Does any aspect of consciousness extend beyond the brain and can it survive death of the physical body? John Audette’s recent book, Loved by the Light, offers a probing discussion on the subject of consciousness, one that even goes so far as to propose a working definition of the term. It also provides an in-depth discussion about torsion physics, explaining the major importance of this field of inquiry to achievement of Eternea’s mission and vision. 

However consciousness is defined, there is a considerable and growing body of evidence suggesting that some core aspect of consciousness transcends the natural boundary of the physical body and normal sensory mechanisms. The term "Non-Local Consciousness” infers that consciousness is incorporeal, ubiquitous and entangled throughout the cosmos at the quantum level. 

For example, physicists have shown that an electron at one end of the cosmos can instantly link or communicate with another electron at the other end of the cosmos through a process known as “quantum entanglement.” So too can one human consciousness instantly link, connect, interface or communicate with another human consciousness on opposite sides of the world through telepathy. This suggests that consciousness is not confined to one’s immediate environment or locality.

Since the 17th century, science has been based on a reductionist view of reality and materialistic thinking. This has fueled consumption, competition, conflict and dualism, giving rise to an “every man for himself” attitude coupled with “get while the getting is good” behavior, stemming from the false conclusion that physical death is the end of existence. However, by the end of the 20th century, new scientific evidence has emerged from several new fields of study such as quantum mechanics, non-linear thermodynamics, systems and chaos theory and the study of supernatural phenomena that render the reductionist and materialist view of reality not only untenable, but incorrect as well.  

Thus, a new paradigm is surfacing which:

1. Places great emphasis on consciousness and its role in the creation of physical reality;
2. Postulates that reality is a holistic, interconnected matrix;
3. Theorizes that information, once gained, is never lost; and
4. These concepts are true at a deep and fundamental level of existence.

Throughout the ages, great spiritual teachers from all traditions have described consciousness as limitless, transcendent and holistic.  But partly as a result of the legacy of the French philosopher Descartes and the separation of religious and scientific thought, the spiritual view of reality has been largely dismissed by modern science. Yet, spiritual teachers have taught us for millennia that we all have the ability to experience transcendent states of awareness and to access the power of intentionality. These states are just now beginning to be understood as fundamental properties of consciousness. 

Enlightened individuals blessed with advanced consciousness have been called by many names including avatars, mystics, sages, saints, gurus and shamans. By whatever name they have been called, all held a similar world view that advocated oneness, unconditional love, living harmoniously with nature and other human beings, as well as recognizing the interconnectedness and interdependence of creation. 

The hypothesis of interconnectedness, proposed by ancient sages from many pre-scientific cultures, has never been rigorously explored or tested by modern mainstream science. To create the fundamental shift in consciousness necessary to advance civilization, experimental and theoretical investigations are needed to fully understand and test these unifying approaches to nature. The goal of this research must be to fully critique the reductionist and purely materialistic view, characterized by classical Newtonian science, in sharp contrast to the holistic spiritual view now emerging from frontier science, which encompasses consciousness and transcendent states of awareness. 

Exceptional Healing Abilities

It is often said that to prove white crows exist, all that is necessary is to find one white crow. When it comes to exceptional abilities in humans, one only has to study those few individuals who have demonstrated exceptional mental or consciousness capabilities. Although these individuals sometimes have mental deficiencies in one or more areas, they often excel in other areas. 

Is this the result of the brain compensating for the deficiencies or is it the result of some other aspect of ordinary consciousness relinquishing control or certain aspects of mind/brain functioning to allow other aspects to flourish? Or, finally, is it the result of tapping into non-local mind (e.g. an aspect of consciousness that may exist beyond ordinary space and time)? Furthermore, if these capabilities are real (as they have been demonstrated throughout the literature), is it possible for ordinary people to train their minds to achieve these same abilities?

Here are some examples of exceptional mental abilities which may demonstrate the phenomenon of non-local consciousness:

• Savant Syndrome - This is generally considered to be a person of limited intelligence that shows exceptional mental abilities or talents in one or more other (narrow) areas. It can occur in people with developmental disabilities (autism) or sometimes after severe head trauma. The specific types are:
• Music ability - A common talent that often manifests is the occurrence of musical genius. Savants can play an entire musical      composition after hearing it only once.
• Mathematical calculations - This is often demonstrated by the      ability to perform instant mathematical calculations (in the mind) such as multiplication, division, square roots, determining prime numbers and the like.
• Calculating Dates - This includes the ability to identify the day of the week in which a particular date falls even when they are hundreds or thousands of years in the future or the past.
• Incredible Feats of Memorization – Some people can      memorize entire phone books, transportation schedules, books,      encyclopedias, etc., after looking at them just one time.
• Artistic Talents – Some can create magnificent works of art with no formal training.
• Language abilities – Some have the ability to quickly learn foreign languages including reading, writing or speech competency.
• Photographic Memory - This is also known as eidetic memory. It is the ability to recall images, sounds or objects in memory after only a few instants of exposure to whatever is being perceived. In this case the skill is not restricted to idiot savants but occurs in the general population and especially in children
• Synesthesia - This is a perception from a particular sensory mechanism (sight, sound, etc.) that leads to a response (e.g. mental image) normally associated with a totally different sensory stimulation. For example, musical notes can be associated with colors or smells. In other cases, letters or sounds are perceived as associated with different colors, etc. In still others, different colors are associated with different smells. At present there does not appear to be a neurological correlate to synesthesia. Therefore, the cause of this ability is unknown.
• Hyperthymesia - This is a rare condition where individuals have almost prefect recall of every day of their entire life. This is sometimes considered a variation of photographic memory. While it may be a blessing for pleasant moments of one's life, it may be a curse for the unpleasant moments.
• Disabled senses - Sometimes people with senses disabled in one area (e.g. sight) compensate by developing extraordinary abilities with other perceptual mechanisms (such as echolocation). Hellen Keller is said to have had such an ability. It is most likely to occur when the disability happened either prenatally or very early after birth during times of critical brain development.

Spontaneous Healing

Spontaneous remission or spontaneous regression are both synonyms for spontaneous healing. Regardless of the term used, the definition is the unexpected improvement or complete cure of disease without normal (e.g. mainstream) medical intervention. It may also happen by unorthodox or other unconventional means such as prayer, energy medicine or remote healing.

This type of healing is not given much credibility by the mainstream medical establishment. Many doctors don't believe in the phenomenon. They were never exposed to it in medical school and consequently try to discourage patients from holding onto what they consider to be false hope or believing in false cures. The standard answer the medical establishment gives to spontaneous healings is that there must have been a misdiagnosis or, if any treatment was given, even if known to be ineffective, they attribute this treatment to be the cause of the cure.

However, evidence continues to mount that spontaneous remissions do often occur from a wide range of “incurable,” “chronic,” or “terminal” illnesses, including stage four cancers, HIV, cardiovascular illnesses and common metabolic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity and certain autoimmune diseases.

Some studies that suggest spontaneous healing happens much more often than mainstream literature suggests. A common ingredient in many spontaneous healings is a shared belief on the part of the patient, and another person such as a healer, a clergy member, or, in some cases, a trusted physician, that the patient can be cured. The beliefs of the patient in the ability of these trusted “authority figures” may be much more important than their actual healing abilities.

The so-called placebo response is a perfect example of spontaneous healing because of the belief system carried by the patient in their ability to heal themselves. So is the nocebo effect such as voodoo spells or curses, which have the opposite outcome on body health. No one knows for sure what is responsible for remission or regression from the placebo response, (or from the nocebo response), but clearly the mind/body connection (beliefs directly affecting the physical body) is involved.

It is generally believed that spontaneous healings occur in one of the following ways:

• Faith Based Healings – People who heal themselves often have faith in a power or capability that is much greater than themselves. They may call this power by various names such as prayer, faith healing or something similar. When this power is invoked, these people believe that they are connected to an extremely powerful intelligence (God, the Creative Intelligence, Nature, etc.) of infinite loving and healing abilities. They allow this intelligence to interact with their body/mind/spirit, believing they will be healed. Numerous  verified and sometimes anecdotal stories indicate that often they are healed. Is it the belief in or the actual connection to this higher intelligence that is responsible for the cure?

• The Mind/Body Connection – Many people believe that the mind (our thoughts) plays a key role in the development of disease. To reverse the disease process, some believe they must reverse or eliminate destructive thoughts. By changing negative thoughts to positive ones, they believe that the mind is able to influence the body. In fact, a newly established branch of medicine  called Psycho-Neuro-Immunology (PNI) has sprung up to investigate this process. PNI is defined as the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body.

One famous case of the mind/body connection is illustrated by the experience of Norman Cousins who had a rare disease of the connective tissue and was given a 1 in 500 chance of survival. He did three things to cure himself: (1) He fired his doctor, stopped his treatment, left the hospital and went to a hotel; (2) He found that the medicines given in the hospital were depleting his store of vitamin C so he took massive doses of the vitamin from a doctor who was sympathetic; and (3) He got a movie projector and watched many comedic TV shows (Marx Brothers and Candid Camera). He watched them for several days while locked in his hotel room. Even though he was in pain, he laughed at the videos the entire time. The end result was that he died 26 years later, many years after his doctors had predicted.

One rational for his remarkable recovery is that, as science has shown, every thought is associated with the release of many hormones in the brain and throughout the body. An unhealthy thought releases unhealthy hormones (e.g. the stress response). Positive thoughts release hormones stimulate healing or strengthen its immune system which, in-turn can cure. In other words, psychology affects physiology. It also works in the opposite direction.

• Meaning/Purpose and Cognitive Dissonance – When people find meaning and purpose in their lives, incredible healing transformations can occur. Meaning and purpose can be something as simple as caring for a pet or as noble as helping complete strangers who are facing desperate situations. Experiencing the cognitive dissonance that may occur when facing some type of transcendent experience like a Near-Death Experiences can  have a triggering effect as well. Experiencers can sometimes be so shocked by a new perception and understanding of reality that astonishing transformations can occur. It is also common for some experiencers to suddenly find themselves in complete remission from their illness. 

• Moving Conscious Awareness Aside – Some spontaneous healing and other feats of manifesting extraordinary abilities occur when people are so engrossed in an activity that ordinary waking      consciousness gets pushed aside and ordinary awareness becomes temporarily suspended. This is similar to athletes who describe their best performances when they are not concentrating on the task at hand (hitting the ball, aiming at the target, etc.). Instead, they operate from “in the zone” and are not using their conscious awareness.

Is it possible that focused awareness (e.g. rapt attention) on an engrossing activity actually distracts the conscious mind such that the immunological (or extraordinary) processes of the body can be mobilized by the subconscious mind to promote healing? Does this mean that the ordinary consciousness we experience is nothing but a reducing valve that protects our consciousness from experiencing a larger and more powerful reality even at the expense of our own health?

• Non-Local Healing – Growing evidence suggests that consciousness extends beyond the physical brain non-locally (beyond time and space) as a field of information and that this field influences and interacts with external physical matter/energy beyond the body. Consequently, it can have a direct bearing on remote healing. There is no doubt that a very complex healing processes exists within and beyond the body /mind system. Add to this the mounting evidence that consciousness is non-local and can be affected and influenced by other non-local consciousness (e.g. via remote healings, prayer, intentionality, etc.) and a convincing case begins to emerge. This system, when allowed to work non-locally unencumbered by limited beliefs or restricting thoughts of ordinary consciousness, can initiate repairs to wounds, heals tissues, organs and even other systems of the body. It can correct imbalances that have crept into the body that, if otherwise left uncorrected, could result in cancer, cardiovascular illness, dementia, diabetes or many other debilitating diseases or even death or accomplish feats of extraordinary achievement.
