VISION

PRED is an organization that explores the nature of consciousness through scientific research and artistic innovation.  The term "psionics" simply means the application of mental and spiritual abilities. 

Four basic functions of Consciousness include:

  • to be (being)
  • to do (doing)
  • to know (knowing)
  • to have (having)

all other functions are variations or combinations of these. 

The four major abilities of Consciousness:

Attention 

-the facility of being aware.

keywords: attaining, noticing, letting, becoming, etc.

Intention 

-the faculty of volition.

keywords: doing, willing, choosing, performing, etc.

Retention 

-the capacity of cognition.

keywords: knowing, learning, understanding, acquiring, etc.

Potention

-the capability of having experience.

keywords: describing, obtaining, realizing, behaving, etc.

Each of these abilities can be improved by:

Concentration- focusing, directing, aiming, etc.

Meditation- opening, centering, quieting, etc.

 

"Intuition is a reminder of the power of the human spirit."         

-John Holland

"We may think with our head, feel with our gut, but we only truly know with our heart."

Concise definition of Consciousness

-the source of all experience including volition, cognition and awareness.

 

Common notions of Consciousness are:

  1. an epiphenomenon (e.g. a by product of the brain/body)
  2. a phenomenon (e.g. a process of the body/mind interface)
  3. a noumenon (e.g. a metaphysical mind/soul)

 


Every Life-Form consists of:

Spiritual Essence = powered by theurgy (the ability to create)

Fundamental Self = powered by synergy (the ability to transform)

Physical Substance = powered by energy (the ability to work)

 

"The really valuable thing is intuition. Without it, I could not see how to begin."

-Albert Einstein

"Opening as every moment is the practice of true bliss."

-David Deida
