____This post actually concerns a combination of sensory and extrasensory perception. Yesterday I received from Manfred a CD which was produced inside an orgonite container. I do not know the details of how it was produced, so I invite him to present them. This evening I played the CD on my desktop computer, beginning by leaving the sound off but listening through earphones. There were a number of separate tracks on the CD, each taking from about 2 to 5 minutes to play.
____When I began the CD, I was composing on a word processor, and not particularly concentrating on what I was hearing. Actually there was very little sound, just a steady low monotone, which perhaps came from the equipment rather than the CD, because later when I listed directly without the earphones, I did not hear the monotone.
____Shortly after the start of the second track, I became aware of my mind slowing down. It felt somewhat like it does when one stares out a window at nothing in particular. I have heard others describe the feeling as what occurs when alpha waves predominate in the brain, but I do not know about that. At any rate, the feeling intensified so I ceased trying to compose, and just let my mind relax.
____As track followed track, I did not perceive a marked difference from one to the other, but during the brief interlude between when one track finished and the next commenced, the effect did become temporarily less.
____When the CD was complete, I began it again, and noticed that the effect began with the beginning of the first tract, so I suspect that it had just taken several minutes for the phenomenon to break through my normal brain activity during the composition (writing) process.
____I then took off the earphones and turned on the volume. There was much the same effect as I had experienced with the earphones. When I turned the volume down too low however, the effect began to dissappear.
