Oh, yeah, Scott Walker is public service’s answer to Cheez Whiz.

I hate Cheez Whiz.

I am not a lawyer, but in my humble opinion this case has just taken a turn for the worse for Scott Walker. Last week and weeks before, he was not requested to meet with the D.A. and now all of a sudden we hear that he has two high profile lawyers who will advise him and that he is now going to meet with the D.A.. Yeah, right Scotty, they now have the evidence they needed from the underlings, and now they want you to come in and impeach yourself with your testimony that contradicts what they already know. The noose is tightening and I am looking forward to future revelations in the weeks to come.

Good Evening Folks,

Late Nite OT…

Sorry I haven’t stopped by lately, but in addition to having a new family with 3 children, my friends here may remember that I’ve been working on an interactive biofeedback video game that locates the human Soul, and makes the resulting Coherence shareable over the internet.

I posted a Diary about it a few days ago, but this is the first time I’ve been up late enough to promote it.

In essence, not long ago I discovered what I’m calling biofeedback ignition sequences. this discovery led to my reaching what I’m calling the Compassion Barrier, which is sort of a sound barrier for Consciousness.

I’ve been working really hard to get this done, so I hope you stay tuned.

Scott Walker Prepares to Make a Social Call

So I was just wondering…

How does the esteemed gubner “make a social call,” what with that whole cross-eyed, zombie-type stare thing goin’ on? Getting around just has to a bit challenging for him, right? Then again, maybe that’s what the high-priced criminal defense lawyer is for. Those dudes always seem to know their way around – well, for the right price, anyway.

What is “electromagnetic coherence”? There is no such term in any science that I’m familiar with.

Walker will take the Fifth.

Or is that, “Johnny” Walker, Red Label, will take the Fifth.

I use Red Label in reference to Walker, because he and his Republican crony pals are going after labor unions as if Walker and his Republican crony pals are nothing but a bunch of Red Communists (who similar to Republicans have hated, and still hate, organized labor unions. Go figure.)

He essentially aided in the theft of money intended for war veterans. This was all orchestrated by his former aids, one of whom also happened to solicit an underaged boy using the campaigns secret email system. Oh… they used the stolen money for vacations and other bullshit.

This dipshit got caught in college cheating on student elections. The dim bulb doesn’t learn lessons.

It’s neither cheese nor whiz though it looks sorta like the former and tastes sorta like the latter.

There’s no such thing. This poster also claims there are “universal tone sequences” (heart tuner) that do something with/to humanity.

There are big problems with that as tones aren’t universally “heard.” By that I mean tone sequences that Westerners think sound “sad” just don’t sound “sad” to non-Westerners.

It’s pseudo-science.

Aloha, Astral…!

I don’t think it’s science at all though the author tries to couch it in terms of science. Music, (unless broadcast over the EM bands), is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum and there is no evidence of a “soul” though there’s lots of evidence of soul music.

*heh* Scott Walker will be doing the ‘Perp’ walk shortly…! My money’s on the ides of March…! ;-)

Yeah. I too think this particular buck is going to stop right on the blotter with “Gov. Scott Walker” on it.

That’s what I use to barbecue them chicken wings. It works real good. In fact, when they’re done, they taste like chicken.

Hey Margaret: In case you missed this jagoff troll from earlier today, go here and fire at will.

Dude brings the word “obtuse” to a whole new level.

And just in case anyone was going to say something bad about Newt, take this!

Yeah….That’ll teach ‘em…

And on the eve of the Nevada caucuses, Willard gets recharged…

He’s ready for anything.

It’s funny because it’s true.

Et tu, Brute…? ;-)

*wow* In the weekly showdown on PBS NewsHour, between the spineless Shields and the clueless Bobo, actually had Mark making the bold assertion that ‘Iran is the Game Changer’…! I could’ve swore the earth shook there…

Put a link up that doesn’t require a purchase to make your point. $35.95? Come on.

There may be cogent arguments there, but, make them without forcing a buy on potentially bad paper.

Electromagnetic coherence underlies the theory of lasers…a monochromatic coherent light source. Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, ergo…

Actually, I did download the pdf. At no cost.

How nice for you. Explain this $39.95 purchase demand then

Here’s another source:

144.206.159.178/FT/809/592174/12181017.pdf

I Googled the term first.

It seems I annoy you, again.

From your PDF:

6. Conclusions:

…Furthermore,our results are valid not only for beams and far fields, as usual in optical coherence theory, but they hold also for non-paraxial fields and near fields. In particular, the electromagnetic coherence in the optical near fields attracts today an increasing attention as it plays a central role in various photonic applications dealing with nanometer-scale structures. Our results are an important step in the development of a rigorous theory for electromagnetic coherence of both beam-like fields and especially, general, three-dimensional optical fields.

Doesn’t sound to me like that’s supportive of some “heart tuning” theory or anything else on an auditory basis to support a claim the Astral Technician made.

I didn’t say I supported him. I was responding to Margaret’s comment:

“What is “electromagnetic coherence”? There is no such term in any science that I’m familiar with.”

That’s a pretty broad statement. Whether it applies to his theory, I cannot and did not say. I just sourced a definition.

Fair statement.

But the science you presented is irrelevant to the claim initially made – which is the point.

It’s up to Astral Technician to prove there is indeed one sort of cosmic heartbeat, reproduce-able and universal, as presented.

Agreed. All I did was answer the question: What is electromagnetic coherence? and provide a source that could verify it. IOW, I started a path on which others could expand. That it costs money is also irrelevant. Hey! I didn’t set the price!

Those of us who have been reading AstralTechnician’s comments for years know a few things:
Never once has Astral solicited one thin dime from anyone here.
Never once has Astral gotten aggressive or petulant when commenting about the journey.

Astral has been commenting here since before he or she was known as ‘AstralTechnician’, and short of demanding proof of what is a partially metaphysical experiment, no one that I can recall has made ‘proof’ of anything an issue. Astral has, to my knowledge, never once demanded the floor, or shrieked, or stomped feet to draw attention about what is a curious, interesting experiment.

Telling for me is that Attorney Mike Steinle is well known in Milwaukee County criminal courts as who you hire if you’ve got really deep pockets… And for when you’re really, really guilty! Also, Walker doesn’t have half the brains D.A. Chisholm has, of course Scooter has zero awareness of this fact… it should make for a very interesting meeting!

I don’t think that quote means what you think it means. Nor do you appear to have looked at what this person is proposing.

While not endorsing the science or application, the theory appears to be that audio bio-feedback can be used to induce a measurable state in the physical body (described by the researcher/developer as “Electromagnetic Coherence” measurable in the .6hz-1.2hz and 3hz-17hz frequency ranges). I am certain – through direct observation – that biofeedback (audio/visual) can be utilized to induce significant changes in a body’s electromagnetic energy.

In a biofeedback system, the audio/visual/ect. feedback acts more as a carrier signal. A body’s internal electromagnetic field is what would be impacted – where the “electromagnetic coherence” (if any) would manifest. I don’t see anything in the quote here that explicitly limits the effect to the photonic domain – just noting that it is an area of increasing attention. This isn’t my area of expertise, are you certain this phenomena is not applicable to lower-frequency fields in the Hz range?

To me, the science behind this idea theoretically being possible is actually pretty solid (although, I fully acknowledge the specific term we’re obsessing on might be misused). It seems as if the innovation – if one exists – is in discerning a set of specific frequency-based measures to define the target state of a bio-feedback system. Since the point of the system is ultimately to improve the state of consciousness of the user – it becomes scientific at whatever point the system becomes operational and it’s clinical impacts are tested against a control to see if it has the predicted effect on the user.

Any way it goes. Just because Margaret has never heard of it … doesn’t mean a principle doesn’t exist in science. (And this particular principle *is* right there on Google). Now, if the term has *application* in this instance is a different debate.

Thank you for the input. The topic was about Scott Walker and the thread was hijacked so I went to bed. Up early to follow up on comments before getting started on Saturday’s “honey-do” projects. Your comments give me a better picture of why Scotty would hire this lawyer, and how good the D.A. is in this case.
As I said earlier, I think this case has taken a turn for the worse on Scotty, and now it will get interesting.
CTuttle suggests March 15th as the “go” for indictment day upthread. I really want that to be true.
Again, thank you.

Confirmed: Walker and Blago were joined at birth. The posturing is way too familiar. Measure for stripes.

Hey, hey, hey. Cut it out. I get half of my daily comics from the Journal Sentinel Online. It’s far greater than Yahoo.

Now we know where Scooter is hiding out this weekend. Rehearsing testimony with his attorneys. Not out begging for mega-bucks somewhere, how sad.

Just as sure of that as Jason Leopold was of Karl Rove’s ‘indictment’? :P

Practice makes perfect and even Scotty should be able to get it right over the weekend. Goes like this:

“Uhm, I am going to exercise my right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and respectfully decline to answer that question on the ground that my answer might tend to incriminate me.”

At least Gov. Walker will be staying in the state on that day!

The body’s electromagnetic field radiates 5 to 8 feet in all directions from the heart. In most folks, this energy seems chaotic and unfocused. I’ve developed a method as part of the game to learn how to make this EM energy ordered and coherent. After doing this for a while I’ve come to realize that this EM Field is conscious in and of itself.

That’s because, I’m not talking about anything auditory. I’m dealing with Coherence frequencies of 0.6 and 1.2hz, and spectral frequencies of 2-13hz

I’ve heard credible descriptions of people whose presence disrupts sensitive equipment, in the case I’m familiar with, it was video tape recording equipment.

After much unexplained difficulty with studio recording equipment, it was decided that somebody in the room was causing some sort of ‘disturbance’. When the ‘suspect’ was removed from the studio, the equipment started working properly.

It was never clear whether the disruption was psycho-social, or EM, but those present figured out who was disrupting the equipment and ‘fixed’ the issue?

The person telling me about the event started his story by saying “The technology of VCRs is so subtle at some points that they can be influenced by a person’s aura.”

He admitted that aura was a charged word, but it fit the situation for the purposes of discussion.

I second your comment, I don’t know why some seem eager to discount others’ beliefs. Astral is free to believe and pursue any avenue of research he/she desires. The same goes for anyone.

Jeez, lately it’s like there’s so many raw nerves exposed, it just takes some little thing to cause some rude comment to jump out of the page.

Astral, hope your feelings weren’t hurt.

In your recent diary post you wrote: “Imagine unbearable happiness!”

Unbearable is just that, unbearable, so why would anyone actively pursue such a torment? What you are describing appears to me to be kundalini rising and that is certainly nothing new, to say the least. Just because you have used relatively new modalities to achieve the equivalent of laying of hands on the third eye to awaken the kundalini or “coiled serpent” does not change the well known inherent dangers involved, does it?

“… when Inner Space meets Cyberspace, we will see the next step in human evolution.”

You have my attention. I don’t know why you chose to hijack a thread on a political blog – but I don’t care in this instance. Your work is fascinating.

Unbearable happiness is what happens when the Compassion Barrier is reached. I’m certain that the “unbearable” part of it can be overcome with a little practice. That’s why I’m creating the game.

It wasn’t my intention to hijack this thread. It’s been my understanding that after 11pm Eastern time, off topic items are encouraged. I’ve been posting here since around 2004, when I was involved with Howard Dean’s presidential bid.

Not psudo science at all. I’ve been researching the effects of Music on the human electromagnetic field since 2007. Last year I presented a poster at the NY Academy of Sciences on this subject. It’s posted in my diary.

I like to keep in mind e.e. cummings message “While you and i have lips and voices which are for kissing and to sing with, who cares if some one eyed son of a bitch invents an instrument to measure Spring with?”

Words can be slippery things when put to the task of describing the possibilities of the evolution of human consciousness; to me it is like to the inherent danger in following religious dogma without healthy critical reflection, learning, and responsibility – a developed conscience.

I see a possible relevance here to the topic of Swopa’s post about Scott Walker in that Walker has ties to the Koch brothers whom have so much to do with the practice of fracking for natural gas, (powerful energy,) sources that it would otherwise be difficult to extract; it strikes me as sort of analogous to breaking open human consciousness to the experience of “unbearable happiness!”

I’ve become wary of uncritically accepting “technicians” amazing advances, whatever the technology is. It isn’t that hard to to do an internet query these days to broaden one’s perspective. But, we all have our lessons to learn…

Be very careful about dismissing claims that what you are pursuing is pseudoscience. It’s important to define the term, which, in this case is difficult as the article exposes.

It is incumbent on you to prove otherwise, and simply saying it isn’t so doesn’t cut it.

What happens when Lovers feel like two halves of the same person? If a person experiences a moment of “Eureka!” or even a mystical “Oneness,” is there something measurable that happens in that person’s electro-physiology?

And, if these experiences can be measured, they can also be taught. This is my field of study. As I’ve said, I’ve taken this research to the point where I can say that I’m about the first person to reach the Compassion Barrier while using an electronic device.

The next part of my research will focus on what happens when several people share a “Eureka” “Oneness” moment at the same time over the internet. My game and the technology I work with makes this inevitable. The sharing of Electromagnetic Coherence in this way on a global scale will change our understanding of Consciousness.

I’ve been present at many presentations similar to what you are trying to do. For instance, simply having a note from a didgeridoo directed to your heart/midsection gave an instant rise to the kundalini energies. Many years ago, I had a vision, for lack of a better word, from a dear friend that passed away under distressful circumstances. It occurred in a meeting with people who were followers of spiritual quests, and while I was talking, one on one about her passing with another individual. She came to me and told me that she was ok. At that instant, the entire room became very silent, and all eyes were turned in our direction; myself, my conversation person and my spirit connection.

That proves nothing in the larger sphere, but it did settle my tumultuous feelings about my friend’s departure.

That was in the early 70′s.

I am also a technologist, and have been one since the 50′s. I’ve worked on then measurement technologies for years, starting with instrumentation at a major nuclear physics lab. So I am no newcomer to either aspects here.

“Psudo” clearly doesn’t apply here, respectfully. I was the first person to record the human electromagnetic field dancing to the beat of recorded music, regardless of heart rate or level of focus. I was likely one of the first persons to prove beyond doubt that music can be used to entrain electromagnetic coherence. I was the first person to demonstrate and record two distinct EM discharges caused by Coherence. I added to the growing evidence of a heart/mind harmonic connection at 9hz.

I’ve proven near total control of my heart’s amplitude modulation at under 1 cycle per second. I am producing new science on a near weekly basis, and my work was well received at the Academy of Sciences in NYC. Every step of my process is posted at my blog for easy replication when the time comes.

I don’t know enough to know whether it applies or not. I looked up the definition first, (as I did about electromagnetic coherence, even though I already knew what it meant)and saw that I would rather not even address the case, but simply ignore any sound bite type claims either way. You are doing research, good. If you are documenting such that it can be replicated, even better. Leave it go at that.

I did cursory look at your website before commenting as well.

I also do not believe you are the first. Wavelengths of the order of magnitude you use are common knowledge (alpha brain waves, etc). I have a CD from the Monroe Institute using a process called Hemi-Sync which was produced in 2000, or at least, copyrighted in 2000. So there are others out there.

Hemi-Sync did little for me. The didg did more.

As far as I know, Internal cardiac coherence measurement is unique to the technology I’m using, in that it measures the exact frequency and amplitude that the heart rests at between beats in real time. If there is a video somewhere of the human EM field dancing to music other than mine, published before the summer of 2007, or since, I haven’t seen it. Same with the EM discharges.

You present yourself as a sincere seeker that is very sure of something wonderful that you have yet to actually learn. That seems to me to be a form of closed-mindedness that leaves one very vulnerable to misperceptions/misinterpretations. Your apparent enthusiasm could color your view of what you are really doing and/or can actually achieve. You are seeking to discover something specific, but just because you have a very strong intention of what it is you want to achieve/learn that does not mean that is what you will actually achieve/learn.

Are you familiar with the book “Why Things Bite Back: Technology and the Revenge of Unintended Consequences” by Edward Tenner? Just a thought.

If my view is tainted, this is why I’ve published all of my data online instead of writing some useless new age book. I’ve used the Heart Tuner as a platform for a video game that locates the human Soul. this was accomplished simply by taking the concepts behind biofeedback to their logical conclusion. I’ve been personally encouraged in my research by knowledge academics in the fields of Cognitive Neuroscience and Music Therapy.

I’m comfortable as I proceed…

Can you explain the coherence part? Knowing a bit about the heart’s feedback mechanism, and it’s relationship to chaos, I can’t quite see the coherence property.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_%28physics%29#Examples_of_temporal_coherence

From the article:

“In physics, coherence is a property of waves that enables stationary (i.e. temporally and spatially constant) interference. More generally, coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities of a wave.

When interfering, two waves can add together to create a wave of greater amplitude than either one (constructive interference) or subtract from each other to create a wave of lesser amplitude than either one (destructive interference), depending on their relative phase. Two waves are said to be coherent if they have a constant relative phase. The degree of coherence is measured by the interference visibility, a measure of how perfectly the waves can cancel due to destructive interference. Cancellation is virtual or local since a wave cannot have negative energy.”

“I’ve been personally encouraged in my research by knowledge academics in the fields of Cognitive Neuroscience and Music Therapy.”

References?

Finally, one other reference which seems to be the most appropriate:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_%28signal_processing%29

knowledgeable…

References…Informal conversations with the conference attendees and speakers. I was personally invited to the Conference by its host, one of the Music Therapists who produced the NOVA program “Musical Minds.”

More generally, coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities of a wave.

1. The distance between the bottom and the top of the wave. (vrms)

2. The variability of the Heart Wave (HRV) or Frequency Modulation. (0.6-1.2hz)

3. Spectral Coherence from 2 to 13hz.

More after dinner…

First of all, the distance from the top to the bottom of a wave has nothing to do with coherence, and secondly, the distance from the top to the bottom of a wave is not v(rms) but rather V (peak to peak)

http://www.referencedesigner.com/rfcal/vrms-to-vpeak-conversion.php

Variability of any wave front is not a measurement of coherence, but incoherence. And speaking in terms of FM, the signal modulating the carrier wave, the Carrier Wave, and the Modulation Index is of interest. What frequency is being modulated?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation#Modulation_index

Temporal Coherence:

Temporal coherence is the measure of the average correlation between the value of a wave and itself delayed by τ, at any pair of times. Temporal coherence tells us how monochromatic a source is. In other words, it characterizes how well a wave can interfere with itself at a different time. The delay over which the phase or amplitude wanders by a significant amount (and hence the correlation decreases by significant amount) is defined as the coherence time τc. At τ=0 the degree of coherence is perfect whereas it drops significantly by delay τc. The coherence length Lc is defined as the distance the wave travels in time τc.

One should be careful not to confuse the coherence time with the time duration of the signal, nor the coherence length with the coherence area.

-From the article on Coherence.

You may in fact, have the concept correct so far as what is going on but your description, from a rigorous pov leaves much to be desired.

Variability of any wave front is not a measurement of coherence, but incoherence.

Actually, Heart Rate Variability (Frequency Modulation) IS part of the measure of wave coherence.

The chart I use measures Spectral Coherence in something called VRMS which, as I understand it, has to do with the distance between the bottom and the top of the wave. I’m not concerned with wave interference, as biofeedback is about wave nesting, and increasing the Fractality (the ability of a short wave to nest on a longer wave) of the EM Field.

Perhaps my description is flawed. But experientially it’s pretty advanced. Just look at the screenshots.

Fractality is the ability of waves to nest non-destructively. I’ve listed the parameters form the unit I use. When the Spectral Peak closest to 9hz reaches above 0.6vrms, and the Coherence Peak reaches above 130% of the Heart Tuner scale, the “Eureka Response” is activated. This may vary slightly for others, but I’ve at least established the process.

Variability of any wave front is not a measurement of coherence, but incoherence. And speaking in terms of FM, the signal modulating the carrier wave, the Carrier Wave, and the Modulation Index is of interest. What frequency is being modulated?

The internal coherence frequency carrier wave being modulated, moves gently between 0.6 and 1.2hz. I can consciously create modulations of 110% of the system’s scale in both directions in this frequency range. I do this by conscious control/cooperation of the Spectral peak between 7.5 and 9hz.

something called VRMS

Something? As applied to a sine wave,Vrms is the root mean square of the peak voltage. Line voltage specified as 117Vrms will have a peak value of 165.5V. It is calculated thus:

V(peak)/√2=rms, which is equivalent to a D.C. voltage of 117V

Rms can be calculated for any waveform.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square

I’m done explaining. You persist on your path, using well known expressions in waveform measurements erroneously.

So far as fractals are concerned see:

Mandelbrot: “The Fractal Geometry of Nature”, or James Gleick: “Chaos”

Good luck with your project.

Persist I must. I’ve reached the Compassion Barrier. I have to find out what happens next. Pardon if I’m using erroneous terms. Folks here know that before I started down this path I was a simple musician. This is biofeedback after all and that relies heavily on intuition. So let’s just say that when I consciously push 9hz from 0.2 to 0.9 vrms (on their scale) and back, I’m phrasing it wrong. I’ll accept that.

The idea is to be able to play the game without necessarily understanding the mechanics behind it anyway. Like playing piano by ear in a biofeedback sense. Frankly, being able to consciously manipulate internal harmonics at frequencies this low and to this extent is the real point.

Then leave the measurements to those who know how.

I call it the way the machine does, pal. If the spread says .7vrms variation, or if the frequency modulation is 110%. That’s what it is.

Please accept my apologies, folks. I don’t want to appear to have been sloppy in my work. My concern has been the ability to manipulate low frequency internal harmonics, and having a consistent way of measuring what I’m doing, so that the process I was developing could be easily replicated.

A couple of years ago, I looked up the term “VRMS,” I checked Google and Wikipedia, and found that it vaguely had something to do with the distance between the bottom and the top of a wave. For my purposes, this was all I needed to know, and I never gave it another thought.

Starbuck is a respected friend here, and I sincerely appreciate his/her input. If you’re gonna alter the course of Civilization, every heart has to be on deck.

Namaste
