The Field Guide

Study guides, research summaries, and source-book companions to help you understand biology, mind, perception, and consciousness—without being told what to believe.

Study guides

01

Bioelectricity & Regeneration

Membrane voltage · Ion gradients · Biological form

How do living systems organize growth, repair, and form? Begin with membrane voltage, ion gradients, regeneration, and the evidence that electrical state can participate in biological patterning.

Open study guide
02

Electricity, Healing & Biological Control

Wound currents · Healing · Regeneration

Follow Robert Becker’s healing question from wound currents to electrical interventions. Learn to separate correlation from causation, tissue growth from organized regeneration, and intriguing results from stronger mechanistic claims.

Open study guide
03

Conscious State & the Body

Anesthesia · Attention · Pain · Hypnosis

Explore relationships among slow electrical measurements, anesthesia, attention, pain, and hypnosis. The central question becomes how physiological state and conscious experience relate without treating one measurement as consciousness itself.

Open study guide
04

Expectation, Imagination & Human Possibility

Imagery · Dreams · Expectation · Suggestion

Study how expectation, context, imagery, dreams, and hypnosis can shape perception and bodily experience. Cases and experiments show why a powerful experience and a proven mechanism are not the same thing.

Open study guide
05

Intention, Information & Matter

Intention · Telepathy · Physical systems

The inquiry moves beyond effects within one person. Examine interpersonal intention, telepathy, and physical systems while asking what was actually measured, what the evidence can support, and which proposed mechanisms remain open.

Open study guide
06

Perception & Mindsight

Sensory information · Plasticity · Mindsight

Investigate Mindsight as both a perceptual question and an information-access question. Shaun Jordan’s case, residual sensory information, sensory substitution, plasticity, synesthesia, and controlled testing provide different ways to ask what information is available and how it becomes experience.

Open study guide
07

Brain State, Memory & Consciousness

Neural rhythms · Memory · Consciousness models

Explore neural rhythms, insight, memory reconstruction, changing neural representations, unusual neurological cases, and competing models of consciousness. The domain asks how brain state changes what becomes accessible to awareness—and what different theories would need to explain.

Open study guide
08

The Boundaries of Consciousness

Remote viewing · NDEs · Reincarnation

Remote viewing, out-of-body experiences, near-death phenomena, survival hypotheses, and reincarnation claims push the inquiry toward harder boundaries. The key question is not simply whether an experience is extraordinary, but what observations could distinguish competing explanations.

A LITTLE GUIDANCE, WHEN YOU NEED IT

Using the Field Guide

How to use this guide
  1. Begin with the Study Guides.

    Move through Domains 1–8 in order on your first pass so later ideas have the foundations they need.

  2. Go deeper with purpose.

    Use the Topic-to-Companion Map to find relevant paper IDs and book passage codes. Open a companion when an idea, experiment, or case needs more context.

  3. Find your own words.

    Aim to explain an idea naturally, give an example, and name what the evidence does—and does not—support.

How to read the evidence

OBSERVATION

What happened?

Begin with what was reported, measured, recorded, or directly documented.

EVIDENCE

How was it studied?

Look at the methods, comparison, case record, or data. Ask what kind of conclusion they can support.

INTERPRETATION

What might it mean?

Separate the observation from its explanation. Consider other ways the same result could arise.

OPEN QUESTION

What remains open?

Ask what evidence could help distinguish competing explanations.

An experience can be meaningful while its cause remains uncertain. Accounts, documented cases, controlled experiments, and replications support different conclusions. Consider ordinary information routes, cueing, chance, and measurement error throughout the guides.
