SUBJECTIVITY, COLOR, AND TELEPATHY

                        Is there a connection between our subjective nature and telepathic abilities? If so, can this principle of subjectivity be used to enhance telepathic experiences? During our previous research on color, it became evident that color could be a natural tool for studying subjectivity. Moreover, in telepathy research, we have shown that telepathy is more likely to occur when intense imagery occurs and insights are vividly experienced. If a person, therefore, is in a subjective state due to an active experience with color, will telepathy more likely occur? While doing experiments with color, it was noted that subjects had definite objective and subjective reactions to color. Few were ambivalent about colors. When looking at them, or just talking about them, subjects would enthusiastically share likes, dislikes, and vivid subjective experiences with color. If color has such an effect on people, why not use it as a tool in telepathy studies?

THE HIGHEST FORM OF LIFE

What constitutes the highest form of living matter? Are we correct in assuming Homo sapiens, rational man, is supreme? Further, is there actually such an ultimate supreme state, and by what value is it so determined? Supremacy of life forms is judged by man with respect to certain phenomena, the natural functions, which they exhibit. We are all aware that certain animals have a keener sense of perception than man; they are stronger and swifter, and their senses of hearing, sight, and smell exceed those of humans. Therefore, how do we evaluate the acclaimed supremacy of man? Man’s outstanding quality is said to be his intelligence and the traditional supernatural element of soul, which he is likewise said to possess. Why is one animal fleeter than another, or his hearing and scent more acute? Were such faculties arbitrarily conferred upon him? Would it not be discriminatory to give a preferred advantage to one species and not to another? The answer to this depe

THE AMAZING SCIENCE OF MEDICAL CLONING

                           Dolly the sheep was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. Scientists implanted the nucleus of a cell from the mammary gland of an adult sheep into an enucleated egg cell.   According to a report prepared by the National Institutes of Health in the United States, stem cells may hold the key to replacing cells lost in many devastating diseases. These include, Parkinson’s disease, end-stage kidney disease, liver failure, and cancer, to name just a few.   Stem cells can also give rise to blood, and they may even make blood banks obsolete, it is claimed. In fact, doctors have been using stem cells for many years to treat certain blood disorders. These treatments have usually involved transplantation of bone marrow, which is rich in blood-forming stem cells, but now doctors prefers to harvest stem cells taken from circulating blood. Because stem-cell therapies hold promise of regenerating healthy new tissues, they come under the general
