1. Book - An Introduction to Parapsychology

• An Introduction to Parapsychology - by Harvey J. Irwin and Caroline A. Watt

Book Description
Irwin (psychology, Univ. of New England in Australia) wrote this book as a textbook, and it shows. Each chapter ends with a list of terms and study questions, and though coverage is similar to many other surveys in the field, the extremely academic style makes it much less readable. Further, the bibliography consists largely of articles in periodicals, many dating from before 1980 and probably unavailable except in universities with a parapsychology department of long years' standing. Surprisingly, many notables are not listed in the Index of Names, including James, Hyslop, Ducasse, Piper, Bro, Garrett, and Cayce. All in all, not of value to public libraries in this country.

2. Book - An Introduction to Extrasensory and Psychokinetic Phenomena

• Quantum Psychics - Scientifically Understand, Control and Enhance Your Psychic Ability - by Dr. Theresa M. Kelly

Book Description
This groundbreaking book written by Metaphysicst and Bestselling Author Dr. Theresa M. Kelly, utilizes an extensive list of scientific studies and laws to reveal how the laws of physics do not have to be rewritten to explain how psychic abilities work. The author exposes that psychic abilities are possible due to wirelessly transmitted data and commands weakly emitted through the mind and bodies own natural electromagnetic radiation. She also exposes that psychokinesis is possible by means of coupling and critically tuned frequencies operating in the electromagnetic near-field. The book includes several exercises and techniques enabling the reader to learn how to control and enhance their psychic or psychokinetic abilities including using scientific means of performance and measurement and artificial, but safe, means of enhancement. The author lists and corrects many misconceptions and myths associated with psychokinetic and psychic abilities that have developed in the mainstream media. The book also includes personality qualities common for individual possessing psychokinetic sub-forms discovered through years of experience working exclusively with individuals possessing psychokinetic ability. With over fourteen years of hands on experience in her field, Dr. Theresa M. Kelly bridges the gap between physics and metaphysics in a manner easily comprehendible to the layperson and easily appreciated by professionals.

General Curriculum & Content

1. Book - An Introduction to Memory

• The Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory: An Introduction - by Howard Eichenbaum

Book Description
This clear and accessible textbook introduces students to the brain's remarkable capacity for memory. It begins with a history of thinking and research on the biological bases of memory, highlighting discoveries about the brain made in a "Golden Era" of neuroscience around the turn of the 20th century. This is followed by presentation of our current understanding of the neurobiology of memory, organized into sections corresponding to the book's four major themes. The first is Connection, and it considers how memory is based on alterations in the communication between nerve cells. Research on the physiology and biochemistry of neurons has revealed a cascade of molecular events and structural changes that enhance or weaken the connectivity of nerve cells in support of memory. The second theme is Cognition, which considers the psychological structure of memory. Early work on this topic involved controversy over the basic cognitive processes that underlie memory, and modern research has shown that these characterizations reflect distinctions among qualitatively different forms of memory. The third theme is Compartmentalization, the notion that the different forms of memory are accomplished by distinct brian systems. Recent research has revealed parallel memory systems that separately mediate our ability for conscious recollection, our capacity to acquire skills and habits, and our acquisition of emotional attachments and aversions. The fourth theme is Consolidation, the process by which memories are transformed from a labile trace into a permanent store. Scientists have shown that there are two distinct stages in memory consolidation, one involving cellular mechanisms that underlie a fixation of changes in the neuronal connection strengths and the other involving a reorganization and restruction of the circuits that store and retrieve memories. The book assumes little background knowledge from biology or psychology, and is intended as a text for use in undergraduate courses on memory and cognitive science, and for early graduate students in neuroscience, cognitive science, or biology. It encapsulates the major concepts in the field, and makes this area of research accessible to students who pursue a variety of related disciplines.

2. Book - An Introduction to Exploratory Search

• Exploratory Search: Beyond the Query-Response Paradigm - by Ryen White and Resa A. Roth

Book Description
Exploratory search describes an information-seeking problem context that is open-ended, persistent, and multifaceted, and information-seeking processes that are opportunistic, iterative, and multitactical. Exploratory searchers aim to solve complex problems and develop enhanced mental capacities. Exploratory search systems support this through symbiotic human-machine relationships that provide guidance in exploring unfamiliar information landscapes. In this lecture, we introduce exploratory search, relate it to relevant extant research, outline the features of exploratory search systems, discuss the evaluation of these systems, and suggest some future directions for supporting exploratory search.

Children and Psychical Phenomena

"I have always strongly advised in the utmost discretion when it comes to child experients of extrasensory or psychokinetic phenomena. If a parent suspects their child is experiencing genuine psychical phenomena, it is best to educated them primarily in the established sciences associated with the specific phenomena. Parents can make learning enjoyable by creating games to maintain psychical stability. Parents should be mindful of terminology and descriptions in relation to psychical phenomena used around the child. Using terms like “psychic” or “gifted” can result in the child using these terms in conversations outside of the home. If the child uses these terms in conversations with skeptical teachers, friends or family members the result could have a negative sociological and whereby a negative psychological impact on the child. Discretion is strongly advised until adolescence." - Dr. Theresa M. Kelly

A Degree Through The University of Alternative Studies

Our Remote Viewing Studies Degree Programs involve the analysis of a theoretical universal information system in which is capable of storing, retaining, and recalling information pertaining to remote objects and events in real-time. This is achieved through the act of an experient requesting and receiving information pertaining to remote current events via the systems working memory, which is also involved in the interim integration, processing, and disposal universal information. Remote Viewology is an alternative psychology profession. Through the utilization of natural Remote Viewing skillfulness, a Remote Viewologist can improve the intensity and precision of their performance for various alternative, medical, and scientific practical applications in conjunction with their unique suggestive form of super-normal communication. This is achievable via comparative scientific knowledge and the comprehension of the theorized universal information system pertaining to its stored information in regards to remote objects and events in real-time and the method utilized by experients to access, query, search, request, and interpret this information. Our degree programs are not designed for non-experients of remote viewing phenomena in search for development. Our programs are designed to educate experients of remote viewing phenomena on the metaphysical and scientific mechanisms of their performance as a means of development.
