The No-Mind State: What Neuroscience Says About Emptiness

The No-Mind State: What Neuroscience Says About Emptiness

Every contemplative tradition has a name for it. Zen calls it mushin – no-mind. Sufis call it fana – dissolution. Dancers call it flow. Athletes call it the zone.

The Signal and the Noise: How to Know What's Real

The Signal and the Noise: How to Know What’s Real

Here’s the problem nobody talks about: your brain uses the same neural circuits for perceiving reality and imagining things.

The same regions that fire when you see a sunset also fire when you imagine a sunset. The same areas that activate when someone touches your hand activate when you think about being touched.

You Don't Have Five Senses -- You Have One

You Don’t Have Five Senses – You Have One

Forget everything school taught you about the “five senses.” It’s wrong. Not simplified – wrong.

Your brain doesn’t process sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell as separate channels. It runs a single unified simulation of reality, drawing from every input source simultaneously. And it has far more than five.

Your Brain Hallucinates Reality -- And That Changes Everything

Your Brain Hallucinates Reality – And That Changes Everything

Right now, as you read these words, your brain is doing something extraordinary. It’s not seeing this page. It’s inventing it.

Come Dance. The Data Is Listening.

This is not about proving anything.

It is about asking a question clearly enough that the answer — whatever it is — means something.

Does the field respond when we move as one?

Two Devices, One Dance — Why We Are Running Two Independent Random Number Generators on March 31

On March 31, we measure the field with two independent devices.

Our own TRNG — based on the quantum chip in a phone — and the Wyrdoscope from Wyrd Technologies, which houses the original hardware from the Princeton PEAR lab.

Sound Made Visible — Cymatics on the Dance Floor

Sound made visible.

At every Ecstatic Oracle Dance, water sits on subwoofers under golden light. As the music plays, the sound creates geometric patterns in the water — cymatics.

You can see the bass. You can see the rhythm. You can see the moment the music shifts.

The Princeton Lab That Studied Consciousness for 28 Years

In 1979, a lab opened at Princeton University that would run for 28 years.

The PEAR lab — Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research — studied one question: can human consciousness affect physical systems?

Sufi Edition — Where Ancient Devotion Meets Ecstatic Dance

March 31 | Nijmegen

Sufi Edition.

Lizelot — initiated into a centuries-old Persian Sufi order — guides the whirling. Not as performance. As lived devotion.

Farid Sheek — Iranian-Dutch composer, Concertgebouw performer — plays live daf. The Persian frame drum that has sounded in Sufi ceremonies for centuries.

Peter Merry on Consciousness, Coherence, and the Field — Why He Is Bringing the Wyrdoscope to ORACLE Dance

What happens when a consciousness researcher walks into an ecstatic dance?

He brings measurement devices.

On March 31, Peter Merry joins the Sufi Edition of Ecstatic ORACLE Dance in Groesbeek — not just to dance, but to measure. He is bringing the Wyrdoscope, a device built by Wyrd Technologies that houses original hardware from the Princeton PEAR lab. The same lineage of devices that produced 28 years of anomalous data at Princeton. The same technology behind the Global Consciousness Project.
