- 22 - • The transition from dozing to light sleep corresponds to the transition from Alpha-Rhythm to slower Theta-Rhythm. • In the stage of deep sleep, the brainwaves finally reach the rhythm of Delta-Waves that represent the largest, ergo the slowest oscillations. EEC measurements of the brainwaves of meditating people have indicated that they are capable of producing Alpha-Waves whilst their eyes are open. Zen masters are supposed to be able to emanate Theta-Waves whilst awake. This allows the conclusion that there could be a direct connection between mental immersion and the brainwave-rhythm. Such a relationship has not yet been proven conclusively. There are however scientists that assume that the gift of mystical seeing, something the apostle John and other biblical seers possessed, could be connected with to production of Delta-Waves whilst in a waking state. Paranormal mediums also develop their abilities in a kind of trance, in a deep absent-mindedness whilst their consciousness is wide-awake. The idea that psychic abilities stand in direct coherence with the frequency changes of brainwaves suggests itself. Psychic gifts, one racks one’s brains about so much, might be the ability to change Brainwaves at will. Arbitrarily changing brainwaves is also the aim of biofeedback training. • Experiments actually showed that the right kind of training of brainwaves can enhance or even produce the gift of clairvoyance. Professor van Amsynck also tried to achieve a state of half-awake trance with his patients, but less with the intention of testing their psychic capabilities. He hoped that slowing down the brainwave frequency would also have a dampening effect on the blood pressure. Initial successes were encouraging. But this was followed by the setback one was already familiar with from the GreyWalter experiments and also from dealing with paranormal mediums. • Once the allure of the new had disappeared and the patient had gotten used to the exercises, the success rate gradually waned. The liberal acceptance of anything new proved to be an essential prerequisite for success her also. The moment patients replaced their relaxed attention with cramped wilfulness, a kind of mysterious blockade seemed to develop within the brain. This disappointing experience, something van Amsynck had to accept, something numerous parapsychological researchers had also experienced in the past with their mediums, turned out to be a blessing in disguise: It actually caused van Amsynck to contemplate how one could deal with this brainwave blockade. At the end of his research, van Amsynck had come to the conclusion that solving all paranormal mysteries starts with looking at brainwaves. This was a small sensation! - Brainwaves, electro-magnetic waves, are akin to radio waves, ultraviolet radiation, visible light or even x-rays. One already suspected many years ago that electro-magnetic waves were the transmitters of telepathy - simply because this explanation seemed so obvious. And one also miserably failed with this so obvious explanation many years ago. Radio waves, electro-magnetic signals of various wavelengths, can transmit music, voices and noises over thousands of kilometres. No human sensory organ is capable of perceiving how this journey takes place. But it does indeed take place, because with the help of a suitable receiving station, sounds carried by radio waves can be made audible again. Why should a telepathic
