... I feel that their is an intellectual way to describe what you speak of. Look into quantum physics studies for instance. This is an area that has been painstakingly studied for years and years (thought there are still many holes) that could help describe this view on reality, perception, and "shifts in consciousness."

Ok well, lets just think about brain waves for a moment.

Do you remember your first thought as a child? At what age did you become aware that you were thinking? Are you aware of your thoughts?
Where do our thoughts come from?

The four types of brain waves:

Beta waves (13-36 Hz).
This is the normal awake brain rhythm associated with thinking, problem solving and active attention directed towards the outer world. Mental tensions, excitement and anxiety may increase both amplitude and frequency of the beta rhythms.

Alpha waves (8-13 Hz).
Alpha is the most dominant of all brain rhythms and most people have some Alpha activity in their EEGs. When a person relaxes, closes his eyes and turn the attention inwards, both frequency and amplitude of the Alpha waves tend ti increase. Alpha waves, which signify conscious awareness, is the 'bridge' or 'entrance card' to the unconscious, which is represented by even lower frequencies (theta and delta).

Theta waves (4-8 Hz).
Theta is the dominant brain rhythm of small children even in the awake state. In adults, theta waves normally appear only during dreaming or drowsiness, as well as during strong emotions. Theta waves are formed deep in the brain and reflect unconscious activity associated with emotions and dreams. Both when one comes close to repressed emotions in therapy and close to unconscious memories during deep meditation, theta activity tends to increase. In order to have conscious access to and remembrance of the unconscious content, alpha waves must be present in the EEG. Without alpha the unconscious content remains unconscious. The presence of a certain amount of theta combined with alpha in the EEG recorded dureing rest may signify personal insight and creativity.

Delta waves (0,5-4 Hz).
Delta is seen in new born babies and in adults during deep sleep. These slow rhythms are associated with basic survival functions deep seated in the brain.

During psychotherapy, where patients relive their own birth, the appearance of delta waves has been observed. Delta waves are associated with deep unconscious states. Some researchers hypothesize that delta activity signifies contact to the collective unconscious. Delta rhythms combined with alpha may reflect an inner intuitive, empathetic radar, a kind of sixth sense.source

Is this psuedo-science? No, it isn't... how do we know about these brain waves?

Most of the cerebral signal observed in the scalp EEG falls in the range of 1-20 Hz (activity below or above this range is likely to be artifactual, under standard clinical recording techniques)Electroencephalography

Here we see by relying of ECG individual brain wave patterns that explain consciousness and unconsciousness.

I wonder how many people are functioning in Alpha frequency? ECG shows that most people have these waves, not all

So, perhaps I should pose the question:

What brain wave function are we in? Are we in Delta or Alpha?

Now, I am running off to read a thread about Hz frequencies and the NWO. It is a ATS thread...and thought of it the moment I saw the Hz in brain wave patterns.
