Also, if people know the Gateway routine I highly recommend checking out SBaGen; I've found the length of the Gateway courses to be too short and need a much longer time with the tones to relax. The courses were originally made to fit on cassette tapes, so it's my understanding they're as long as they could manage during the time.
Focus levels are included in the set of example tones with SBaGen, but you can create your own.

Also, hello, UFO thread. When I'm not crack-pinging my mind out in the Covid thread I like reading about people's experiences here. Grooving on Hitchhiker Effect.

This is raaad. I was thinking about chopping and splicing some of the Monroe tracks to expand the tone sections but this is way easier.

Also thank you the compliment
In case people missed it in the video comment I have also put the whole album up ready for streaming (and pre-order to download, currently $1 but it will be free on release bandcamp won't let me make it free to pre-order)
https://rozkol.bandcamp.com/

You can also grab my ambient album based on thread (and personal) favorite "Roadside Picnic". Mimetic Theater is also an entirely ambient instrumental album inspired by John Carpenter soundtracks I just re-listened to the other day for the first time in a while and I was grooving on it way more than I remember a year ago.. The rest vary between noise, electronic, etc.
All free please to download and use in other projects.

(The first 2 are very raw so I'd suggest skipping them and maybe going back later if you like the other stuff)

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

This makes sense, and the Monroe Institute claims it works with speakers if set up correctly.

I read somewhere that someone decided to look and see if other animals have handedness like we do, and it seems like by far most don't but some do, and in some animals it's actually reversed, with left handed being more common than right handed. In other animals that have this they also have some difference in brain hemispheres like we do. IIRC overall most animals are not particularly handed and don't have much hemisphere difference. Supposedly there's some connection to having a dominant eye as well? Idk.

Even more weird is that the only animals that have a corpus callosum connecting their brain parts are placental mammals, but a lot of the animals that don't have it have something else that apparently does a similar job?
What was the animal that has a placenta but not a corpus callosum, or vice versa? How did these two traits get linked together?

if you find yourself sometimes turning your left ear toward half-heard conversations in order to understand them slightly better (rather than the right ear which is what most people use for this purpose) then you might want to flip your headphones around for more than just hemisync; but handedness probably isn't correlated reliably with, uh, earedness


I have the typical ear setup where I use my right ear more for listening to speech, and I'm also right-handed

but my left eye is dominant instead of my right eye, does this mean i'm a hybrid

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

Monotremes and marsupials are the exceptions. They're egg laying and pouch rearing, respectively, so that tracks in a sense. Interesting!

But no corpus callosum or placenta, and only monotremes lay eggs.

To find a combination of one without the other we need to find ways to reanimate stem group eutherian fossils. And if we can do that I would like to put in a vote for Morganucodon--I realize it won't help with the present question, but they are so loving cool looking

I said respectively :mad: I meant they are the mammals which are the exceptions to having a corpus callosum, meaning that the placenta is necessary for the corpus callosum and being mammalian isn't sufficient. There are no placental animals without a corpus callosum.

OK I got confused because that wasn't the question being asked, which was "What was the animal that has a placenta but not a corpus callosum, or vice versa? " and for that its some stem lineage Eutherian like the fossil with the eminently cool name Zalambdalestes. (I mean, assuming the assertion the corpus callosum is restricted that way is correct, which I am assuming for discussion's sake)

And then we have the corollary question: Which came first, the placenta or corpus callosum?

This made me think of Golden Earring's Radar Love.

"I've been drivin' all night
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin'
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar Love"

Given the amount of credible reported sightings around the world in any given month coupled with the idea that there are likely countless birds unreported/unseen by the general public, it seems very reasonable that there is likely a constant presence.

With certain elements of the military having the most advanced tech in the world when it comes to monitoring the skies and space, the past couple of decades probably has them pissing their pants unless they have a solid grasp on the phenomenon.

Gary Nolan suggested on the "Engaging the Phenomena" podcast that there apparently might be a physical inflammatory response that occurs when a person is afflicted with poltergeist experiences and we should analyze the blood of experiencers at the "peak" of a particular poltergeist flare up. This fringe paranormal biology poo poo is fascinating.

tldr ghosts are stored in the blood.
