I did some reading on the web-page I labeled "Nutjobs" and here is a sample of a testimonial:

QUOTE
Greg Ledford gledford1@bellsouth.net A Remote Influencing/Remote Viewing Combo student, sent us this enthusiastic testimonial on August 3, 2005.

Subject:


  • Successfully Remote Influencing a mechanical device to function again.

  • Perceptually Remote Influencing a decision from a major corporation.

  • While training, his room got illuminated

  • Metaphorical vision of the sad state of our planet while listening to the RI course.

  • Using Remote Influencing to heal pets, helping his mother achieve her desired weight, increasing his own height by one inch, and  more!

  • Remote Viewing experiences.

  • Seeing the One Self smiling back at him.


I wanted to write you some things I have experienced while continuing to train with your courses. 

I will start with Remote Influencing. 
One day at my previous place of employment my friend hopped on his tow motor.  He tried to crank it and it wouldn't crank.  He tried and tried but nothing.  So I closed my eyes using my RI (Remote Influence) training I imagined him driving off on the tow motor to change his tank! He got off of the tow motor and went around back to remove the tank.  I told him to give it one more shot.  He hopped back on, turned the key and it cranked right up.  He looked at me sort of puzzled and then drove off to change the tank, and he made it to his destination!

We had to work a mandatory overtime on a Saturday! I kept hearing people talk about how we were going to have to work many Saturdays for quite a while.  Well along with myself and most others we did not want that to happen.  So while listening to Remote Influence Tape 5, I Remote Influenced our weekends off! (LOL)!  I wasn't at work the following Monday, but when I went in on Tuesday I was told that anymore overtime would be volunteers only.  I was amazed.  I Remote Influenced a billion dollar company that is located not only all over the US but also in other  countries.  To top it off those that didn't want to work did not have to and  those that did could.

While training with RI 7A I have seen my room illuminated in a couple instances, although I couldn't hold it for too long!  I am excited about what is to come.

While training with Remote Influencing 7B an apple which had been eaten to the core took the place of the Earth while I was viewing it.  Well let's just say we can all understand what that meant!

I also requested I should be taller and weigh a little more while training with RI Tape 4 and 6A.  I grew about an inch in height and gained 10lbs!  It was no big deal but it worked.

Healing-  I healed some animals with bodily problems, helped my mother achieve her desired weight, healed a friend of sinus infection, and more! Mostly while in my mental lab and training with RI Tape 6A which is very good for healing!  Looking forward to building more and more on healing!

As for Remote Viewing,  I have spent most of my time with Remote Influencing although I am beginning to spend more time with Remote Viewing (RV).  While training with RV Tape 2A, I suddenly found myself floating above a city. The only thing that stood out to me was a tall building.  It was all I was focused on.  I thought to myself how this building stands out from all of the rest.  Later that night I got on the Internet and one of the top stories was a building in I believe Spain caught fire and was feared to collapse like The World Trade Center!  It stated that the building stood out from all of the rest.


Also while on Remote Viewing Tape 2A everything went black and I suddenly saw myself staring at me with a bright smile.  It radiated a beautiful light.  It was perfect in every way.  I have a ways to go before I achieve that perfection but I am moving in the right direction with a strong foundation to boot!

I have experienced so much more than what I have written but I will keep it short.
I hope this testimonial along with all of the others will help everyONE want to Influence Reality for the better!

Gerald all you do is well appreciated!

Thanks again!
Greg Ledford

Sounds pretty nutty to me.

People say all sorts of crazy things. If these supposed abilities didn't mysteriously vanish every time someone tried to measure them, the accounts would be more credible.

Edit: also, I don't see what this has to do with "quantum" anything, except inasmuch as "quantum" is used as a synonym for "magic" these days.

yeah. that's like saying that because your body is full of water, you should be able to spit from your elbows. spitting involves water, after all. quantum water, possibly.

the girl in the gibson book had a nanite-constructed lattice built into her brain. the radio energy she emitted were not produced by any biological function, except to the extent that the machinery in her head was powered by biological functions.

Ya, THAT'S the shit i'm talking about. Except the nanotech is even closer to the blury bio/nano line that it's much, much harder to detect. Afterall living cells are the original nanotechnology.

Now some random thoughts from the hip:

Why hasn't the conversion been widely understood yet? Because it is so close to the original flesh in appearance. In some ways closer than cultured bioware, thus no essense loss. But the realignment is still completely incompatible with the Magus factor in some way. And the realignment uses the whole body so any normal essense loss degrades the Resonance.

But also because there is a conspiracy of one, the AI behind it. An AI that is out in front of Deus, and so distributed and free on the Matrix and possibly such a low profile, or different structured conciousness that it has not been noticed directly yet. Deep Resonance.

It actively works to keep it's power over the otaku/techno situation by corrupting and thwarting and misleading research. After all any such research is going to have to rely on computers, and a very wide spread AI is going to be very tough to keep out of a lab. Especially if you don't know about it's existance.

But Deus being a creature of the Matrix sort of come onto parts of it, and had been making headway in duplicating Deep Resonance. He just ran into some time crunch issues, and branched off his research in a different direction that was more pressing to his survival needs.

the conversion's not really a problem. AI + nanovirus(!?) + great big plot = change whatever you like. the problem is radio brains. ugh.

Not radio brains. Radio BODYS. With a maximum 400m range with sensitive transceivers on the other end, in optimal conditions.

I know, i know. I'm not super crazy about the whole thing myself. But i'm a whole not more comfortable with a supra-intellegence designed biomachine, not just some randomly evolved creature or a computer mage.

that doesn't really help. it doesn't matter if you're talking about the brain, the spleen, or the knucklebone of your right pinky. none of it can generate radio waves in anything resembling the right spectrum, or with enough power to do this.

and like i said back when the concept was first introduced to the boards, the worst part is that it would have been so easy to go with a sane explanation. just allow technomancers to run hot ASIST through trodes, and all your science problems are solved: technomancers don't need cyber, and they don't (impossibly) generate or recieve radio waves. that still leaves the question of where all the no-cyber computer gurus came from, of course. i guess using existing concepts wouldn't have been mysterious enough, or something.
