White Light - Dreams - Plasma Lamp - Part 1

June 11, 2002

Over three decades ago, before knowledge about TM, Vedas, Rosicrucians,

Advaita, et al, as a scientist at Raytheon Research Laboratories, I

experienced numerous extraordinary sightings and vivid dream type phenomena

while in the waking state. I was developing a 100 kw high-pressure argon

vortex plasma lamp that could produce light up to four times the intensity of

the sun. This lamp was outrageously ferocious, capable of giving instant

sunburns, creating considerable ozone in the local environment. The purpose

of the lamp was to 'pump' or 'excite' (to optically transfer energy to) a

variety of solid state crystal lasers such as ruby that were simultaneously

being 'grown' by the Research Division. The effort was part of an early star

wars type program where presumably a paraboloidal optical antenna might

eventually couple energy from the sun to lasers located on satellites.

Quite startling though, I one day found that my consciousness had also been

'excited'. I quite inadvertently experienced rather extraordinary 'psychic'

phenomena. I saw purple aura around all green vegetation for many hours after

running the lamp, even while driving my car. I also saw all sorts of hazy

fog-like animal creatures like monkeys jumping about in the trees. I kept

reminding myself that I had never seen such things before. In addition,

dreaming states were simultaneously witnessed along with ordinary waking

state. Upon closing the eyes a vivid dream could unfold while being

simultaneously fully aware of the waking environment. Two states of

consciousness exhibiting themselves simultaneously. So, exactly what

happened here and what sort of theoretical model can offer an explanation?

For one having such an experience, there needs to be a reason. No, I was not

going mad. There needs to be some theoretical model around which to

understand such phenomena with intelligence.

Oh yes, there is no doubt that some type of neuronal excitation by physical

factors was occurring here (yet to be expounded upon after introducing more

data), and as you might suspect, I also became quite conversant with a number

of folks in the medical world at the time, especially as all my physics

mentors closely surrounding me were not at all sympathetic to the nature of

events surrounding the plasma lamp experiences.

Yes, I was also involved with stroboscopic type things at the same time,

especially with a research psychologist at a Veteran's Hospital and another

physicist out of the US Air Force Research Center who had learned to send

Morse Code by turning On and Off his brain Alpha Rhythm. I knew Morse Code

(being a Radio Ham) and this was found absolutely fascinating. To learn to

do this, the psychologist put me into his Magnetic Shielded EEG Chamber and

tied my Alpha Rhythm output into an active feedback loop to a Light Bulb in

the darkened EEG Chamber. One then rather quickly gets the knack of turning

the Alpha Rhythm On and Off, though at first a little disquieting (I have no

known epilepsy symptoms, either then or now), something like strobing light

that is synchronized to one's Alpha Rhythm. In cooperation with many

fantastic joint experiments, I here wound a first huge, large and very heavy

inductor antenna (I was also in graduate school studying physics under a

radio astronomer) to catch some of the magnetics of such brain rhythms. It

was a wonderful incredibly fast growing time of my life, almost magic like,

as the universe started to unfold at an extremely rapid pace, until . . .

until . . . until the extreme heavy doses of white light, when and from where

many facets of my life all fell apart, simultaneously. This is when I turned

about face, East to Vedaland and West to Esoterica, for no one else knew

and/or was willing to listen. --continuing--
