• 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.  I had to research some astron­omy to help peo­ple con­vert the time for their loca­tion to LST.
  

• The sec­ond part is about how being psy­chic works and how LST could be used to improve it.   If you want to read that first, scroll to The Really Fun Part.  

This was sent 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).

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
