5.0 out of 5 stars
An honest read, September 4, 2007
This review is from: Psychoenergetic Science (Paperback)
A reader unfamiliar with science, physics and experiential protocol, will have a hard time reading William Tiller's "Psychoenergetic Science". The science jargon detracts from Tiller's message, in my view. Nevertheless, Tiller has something important to say, and he is trying to break new ground in science, and it for these reasons I give Tiller's new book a high recommendation.
Tiller (page 36) complains about the narrow mindedness expressed by some scientists: "In spite of the unwillingness to look at such data, many of the establishment scientists are willing to `spout off' with very derogatory opinions concerning such data - without ever having seriously looked at it. Such behavior is called scientism which is corruption of the science craft. "
Chapters 3, 4 and 5 read like a laboratory manual. Much attention is given to an IIED, or the "intention imprinting electrical device" of Tiller's own making. The IIED is impacted by human intension presented with deep meditation, as Tiller tells us, and this device can be moved to distant locations and turned on. The activated IIED is permitted to condition a new environment, and what Tiller finds is that pH (or hydrogen ion concentration) in water is affected by this conditioning. The pH can increase or decrease by 1 depending on the intension imprinted on the IIED.
Tiller studies enzyme activity (ALP). Tiller studies fruit flies; he looks at larval development time, and [ATP]/[ADP] ratios. Again he picks up a treatment effects due to IIED, suggesting a direct impact on living organism.
In Chapter 4, Tiller investigates pH and air temperature oscillations; as impacted by IIED and its controls. He adds the magnetic field polarity effect. And these embellishments are needed to tease out experimental evidence for a dual nature; one electrical and particle-like, the other magnetic and wave-like. Tiller (page 72) concludes : "an IIED-conditioned space allows our measuring instruments to access magnetic monopoles." Tiller's sympathies move to subtle energies and human biofields. Tiller (page 88) writes: "From the foregoing data of this chapter, I know that an IIED-conditioned space develops a higher electromagnetic symmetry state than that which exists in our normal electric atom/molecule level of physical reality. As such, it must also have a higher thermodynamic free energy per unit volume condition compared to our normal condition." And this is found relating to our health, and our emotions, as Tiller speculates about advance Kinesiology (biofeedback): "one can conclude that our acupuncture meridian/chakra system is the human body system that is at this higher thermodynamic free energy per unit volume state."
In Chapter 5, Tiller opens up the IIED to a broader evaluation, repeating his pH effect in eight different locations.
Chapter 6 presents Tiller's ontology: a duplex model of space-time, one side relating to direct-space and the other reciprocal space-time. The dual aspects are connected with coupling "deltrons". The coupling in direct-space (particle branch) is limited to velocities below the speed of light, the coupling in reciprocal space (pilot branch) moves above light speed. Tiller (page 140) does imply that this coupling involves interactions that move in both time directions, but he does not emphasize this point. A pilot wave moving faster than light speed is understood to move backward in time, in my view, and this would seem to be implied by coupling.
Tiller (page 132) writes something worthy of the Nobel Prize: "Since the reason for inventing string theory was to bypass the mathematical singularity in quantum mechanics and relativity theory so that they could be united, the use of this particular duplex-space reference frame removes the need for string theory when quantum mechanics and relativity theory are mathematically formulated in this particular duplex-space format." I would also stipulate that Tiller's deltrons come with coupling coefficients that are non-caused, as they source something transcendental. The coupling coefficients are just affinities, they are metaphysical and undetermined from mere conditions of necessity. Likewise, when quantum field theory is translated into duplex-space format, the more common coupling constants that are found fine-tuned are probably just non-caused affinities too, but life depends on them being tuned so they appear as constants. Likewise, the mass of particles are probably just affinities that are non-caused, but are found as a precondition for life.
Chapter 7 is a continuation of Chapter 6. Tiller's does not say it, but his ontology is Trinitarian, in the best tradition of Schelling and Hegel. Tiller (page 149) writes: "My working hypothesis is that consciousness is a byproduct, or emergent property, of spirit entering dense matter." Therefore, the duplex-model is consistent with the precondition of consciousness. Any account of consciousness must find itself consistent with its own precondition; this is where scientism fails, but Tiller is wise enough to pick up on this. Tiller (Figure 7.4) describes the three branches of consciousness, a clear indication of Trinitarian thinking: ascending, surrender, and descending.
In Chapter 8, Tiller speculates about remote viewing, psychokinesis, auras, clairvoyance, precognition, telepathy, levitation, materialization (and its reverse), and distant healing.
Tiller's writing is difficult to understand, I cannot say I understand Tiller completely, I may have misrepresented his writing, or Tiller might have left something important out of his thinking; but his book is what it is, and I can't be too critical of a new vision that has now penetrated the dark night of scientism, and my intuitions are telling me this rather strongly. Tiller's Chapter 9 presents prior book reviews written by Thomas Brophy and Todd Stark. Tiller also gives his reaction to Stark's review. This provides a meeting place for those lost in a sea of scientific symbols and jargon. It is a very good chapter. The book comes with a glossary that is also very helpful.
