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 primary 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 enhanced by:

Concentration: focusing, directing, aiming, etc.

Meditation: opening, centering, quieting, etc. 

 

Concise definition of Consciousness

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

 

Three mindsets for studying Consciousness:

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


Every Life-form consists of:

Spiritual Essence

-powered by theurgy (the capacity to create)

Fundamental Self 

-powered by synergy (the capacity to transform)

Physical Substance

-powered by energy (the capacity to work)
