A NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL MODEL OF PSI PHENOMENA

Modern man's standard time and space-bound mental organization is an intrinsic feature of his evolutionary development and cultural conditioning. Telepathy and related psi phenomena have not apparently been favored by this process. However, in mother-child symbiosis, ESP and other preverbal forms of communication have positive survival value. Mother and infant form an open communication system. With the child's growing maturation and individuation, ESP becomes redundant. It is being abandoned and repressed. Yet, in crisis situations, in the REM state, in hypnosis, or in the analytic situation, regression to the psi level and to an open personality structure may occur. No satisfactory physical theory has, so far, been advanced to account for such incidents, especially none to include precognition in its frame of reference. The proposed neurophysiological model knits together five interlacing explanatory hypotheses: 1) The extension hypothesis covering both afferent (ESP) and efferent (PK) aspects of psi. 2) The genetic or symbiotic hypothesis, including the concept of a symbiotic gradient, reaching out from the ego to the nonego. 3) The open, nonEuclidean versus the classical Euclidean or Freudian personality structure, closed to psi. 4) ESP, PK, etc., run together. They are mutually interchangeable and form a syndrome. In the last analysis, their occurrence leaves the same gap in our ultimate understanding as does the process of “ordinary” awareness or volition, although the gap is admittedly larger in psi. 5) The occurrence of psi incidents is predicated on an “existential shift”:a shift from the standard, Euclidean to the psi level of adaptation. Some of the psychological and neurophysiological concomitants of the existential shift are discussed.
