Overview
This course explores the development of the academic study of ESP in a laboratory setting from its historical roots in the occult. By covering history, theory and practice from varied perspectives, students will “find their feet” and develop a sense of context in which to anchor their exploration of this fascinating topic.
The course also facilitates gaining personal experience of ESP using remote viewing, and connecting with the intuitive part of ourselves using Monroe Institute sound technology. Additional material is provided for those keen to explore these topics more deeply.
Learning Outcomes
- Become familiar with the history of psi: from magick and mysticism to the lab
- Psi in the Lab: Run your own simple psi experiments to gain first hand, personal experience of these phenomena
- Psi in the Body: Explore the neurological and physiological correlates of psi activity
- Psi in the Individual: Stay grounded by exploring the concept of The Trickster in psi
Module Outline
The course offered by Ubiquity University over 4 weeks/modules provides an immersive exploration of psi phenomena and remote perception, combining rigorous academic study with practical experiential learning.
Designed for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of consciousness and its applications, it includes guided exercises, theoretical insights, and group-based experimental setups.
The collaboration with the Monroe Institute ensures access to cutting-edge methodologies in consciousness exploration, integrating advanced tools like Hemi-Sync® and MSS® to facilitate altered states of awareness.
Objective: Familiarize participants with the historical evolution of psi phenomena, from mystical traditions to modern scientific investigations.
- Key Figures and Movements:
○ Upton Sinclair and his work on mental telepathy.
○ René Warcollier's theories on thought transference.
○ Theosophy and the New Thought Movement, emphasizing spiritual interconnectedness.

- Discussion
○ What brought you here? Sharing our early experiences of psi, synchronicities, practical challenges or difficulties on our paths, classical psychic techniques in our everyday lives. How has engaging the transpersonal affected you as an individual?
- Homework
○ Create a concise and engaging lightning presentation (no more than five minutes!) on a historical figure in psi research, highlighting their contributions and impact on the field.
Objective: Gain personal experience with receptive psi modalities and explore their mechanisms.
- Activities:
○ Basic and advanced Remote Viewing (RV) exercises focusing on target clarity and feedback analysis.
○ Exploration of precognition and retrocausation, linking time-related phenomena with psi practice.
○ Journaling synchronicities to recognize patterns of non-local information transfer.
- Core Concepts:
○ The mechanics of intention, attention, and expectation in psi performance. ○ Feedback loops and their role in refining psi accuracy.
○ The concept of "time loops" as explored in retrocausal psi.
- Monroe Institute Integration:
○ Use of Focus 10 (Mind Awake/Body Asleep) to facilitate psi experiences. ○ Collaborative intention-setting exercises in Focus 12 (Expanded Awareness). ○ Techniques for balancing analytical and intuitive processes during psi sessions.

- Discussion
○ Lightning presentations
○ If time a Q&A, check in with David & Luigi
Objective: Understand the role of subjectivity, ego, and intellect in mystical and psi experiences.
- Themes:
○ The projective nature of psi experiences and their susceptibility to personal biases.
○ Exploring psychic space as a "hall of mirrors," where perception is influenced by expectation.
○ Archetypes and collective consciousness as frameworks for interpreting psi phenomena.
- Theoretical Insights:
○ The "Left and Right Brain" model as a metaphor for analytical versus holistic processing.
○ Cognitive biases and their impact on psi data interpretation.
○ The "trickster" archetype as a representation of the unpredictable nature of psi phenomena.
- Monroe Institute Integration:
○ Exercises to identify and mitigate analytical overlay (AOL) in Focus 15 (No Time).
○ Exploration of archetypal imagery and its interaction with subjective psi experiences in Focus 21 (Other Energy Systems).
