Letter To . . . Raphael

• The first part of the let­ter is about Local Side­real Time (LST), which I was study­ing because a Palo Alto psy­chic study showed a much higher rate of psy­chic hits at 13:30 LST.

• The sec­ond part is about how being psy­chic works and and how LST could be used to improve it. Skip to pink sec­tion if you don’t want the astron­omy lesson.

 To Raphael, who responded to my request for help with Local Side­real Time con­ver­sion errors (I had noticed that the soft­ware was not cor­rect because it was return­ing the same LST for San Fran­cisco and Seat­tle). LST was being con­verted because a Palo Alto study showed a much higher % of psy­chic suc­cess (hits) at LST 13:30.

Dear Raphael,

Thank you for respond­ing to my email about the LST con­ver­sion soft­ware hav­ing some pos­si­ble errors. I would like to sum­ma­rize my under­stand­ing of the LST time, so you can share it with the astronomer, (and pos­si­bly the researchers from the orig­i­nal Palo Alto study) and cor­rect me where nec­es­sary. [Some of the most fun stuff is at the bot­tom, so hang in there*] This is what I under­stand, and when requested explained por­tions of it to the 60 peo­ple whom I helped with their conversions:

Plan­e­tary time is based on the rota­tion of the earth spin­ning around its axis (the line between the North and South Poles), while it is in orbit around the Sun. So the 24 hour plan­e­tary time is in rela­tion to the spin­ning, which causes night and day as dif­fer­ent por­tions of the planet turn to face the sun every day. And the months of the year are caused by the orbit­ing around the Sun, while that tilt in the axis (a tilt in rela­tion to the flat plane in which the ellipse of the Earth’s orbit of the Sun occurs) causes the equinoxes and sol­stices to be oppo­site above and below the equa­tor. [Last year a friend of mine moved from Mt. Shasta back to Aus­tralia in Sep­tem­ber, get­ting spring and sum­mer, fol­lowed by spring and sum­mer — what a deal!]

LST time is based on the orbit of our Solar Sys­tem around the cen­ter of our galaxy. So the lon­gi­tude as well as the lat­i­tude has to be fig­ured in, because we are not talk­ing about a sit­u­a­tion where the Earth axis cre­ates hourly bands of iden­ti­cal time from the North Pole to the South Pole, but a sit­u­a­tion where each spot on Earth is cen­tered under the cen­ter of the Milky Way along both a ‘ver­ti­cal’ and a ‘hor­i­zon­tal’ line inter­sect­ing on the sur­face of the Earth, at a cer­tain time of day. [That is why I was sure there was an error in the con­ver­sion soft­ware when it returned the same answer for the LST in North­ern Cal­i­for­nia and Seat­tle.] The one part I did not get was that the time con­ver­sion was for 13:30. My first thought was that it would be a con­ver­sion at 12:00 LST. But maybe it is because of the tilt in the axis, that the cen­ter of the Milky Way is over­head of a given spot at 13:30 LST? Eeek, not sure. Thanks in advance for check­ing this with the astronomer and fill­ing me in. Or was it just that 13:30 LST is the time when the tested psy­chic skills were accen­tu­ated, not nec­es­sar­ily that the cen­ter of the Milky Way was directly overhead?

It might be some­thing anal­o­gous to the dif­fer­ence between the mag­netic North Pole and ‘true North’. It seems to me that it is some­what arbi­trary that the biggest hunk of iron inside the Earth is pretty close to true North - it could have been some­where else, and then it would have taken a lot longer for us to invent a really use­ful com­pass (!). So maybe what­ever it is (in a phys­i­cal or ener­getic sense) which causes psy­chic skills to be sig­nif­i­cantly boosted is not nec­es­sar­ily exactly at the cen­ter of the Milky Way. (‘Inquir­ing minds want to know’ ;-)

Since I work as a med­ical intu­itive and ani­mal com­mu­ni­ca­tor, this is more than aca­d­e­mic curios­ity for me.

The really fun part: In terms of physics, in ani­mal com­mu­ni­ca­tion, and med­ical intu­itive and other psy­chic work, I believe that slower brain waves (Theta) some­how make it pos­si­ble to con­nect with the holo­graphic uni­ver­sal energy field which under­lies every­thing. It is expe­ri­en­tially clear to me that the whole uni­verse is con­tained in each part of this holo­graphic field, and that the whole can be accessed from any part, includ­ing from my brain, and/​or my con­scious­ness. The whole includes all time and space, though the res­o­lu­tion of my ‘instru­ment’ is not refined enough to be 100% thor­ough, pre­cise, or cor­rect. (That fits per­fectly with the issue of res­o­lu­tion in any holo­graph — the smaller the piece, in this case me, the lower the resolution.)

I han­dle my impre­ci­sion or incom­plete­ness by look­ing for things that stick out. I can afford to ignore nor­mal func­tion or struc­ture (which would be an over­whelm­ing over­load of detail). I just look for what needs help. So it would really give me an edge, to know what (accu­rately con­verted) LST time would give me more pre­ci­sion. I don’t believe I can achieve an actual higher degree of res­o­lu­tion, since I am still going to be the ‘same-​​sized piece’ of the holo­graphic energy field of the universe.

As I under­stand it now, my pri­mary respon­si­bil­ity is to not fill in any detail I don’t see, don’t make any assump­tions, just report what I get, and don’t jump to ‘log­i­cal’ con­clu­sions. But this is not just an eth­i­cal con­sid­er­a­tion, I believe it is a tech­ni­cal func­tion. At my level of focus (my res­o­lu­tion) pre­sum­ably I am cor­rect where I don’t extrap­o­late. But when I begin to do that (and it is typ­i­cally the log­i­cal left brain that extrap­o­lates, because it has not ‘had a turn’, while the intu­itive right brain has just fin­ished its ‘turn’) then my accu­racy suf­fers. And it is not that the log­i­cal brain is lesser than the intu­itive brain, it just has a dif­fer­ent focus, scale, and res­o­lu­tion, and when you start mix­ing infor­ma­tion from dif­fer­ent orders of mag­ni­tude, it gets messy - and inaccurate.

Thanks for knock­ing some ideas around with me here, and I hope you will for­ward this to the astronomer and/​or Palo Alto psy­chic researchers, so I can get some clar­i­fi­ca­tion too. At least I know the ques­tions I want to ask!

Bless­ings of the day, Denise Schultz
