my ignorance

Being unfamiliar with any science of channeling, I have the standard questions as to the science: What is the hypothesis being tested by the Cassiopeia Experiment? What would be the conditions of refutation? What are the test groups and what are the control groups?

Who told you that channeling is a "science"? Yes, it may be an experiment, but calling it a science you are stretching, and stretching in science is dangerous. Probably you know it, and yet you are taking the risk. In this case nothing really bad happened - you have just revealed your weakness :)

Science aside, please read The Wave series, that should answer your questions regarding how the Cassiopaea Experiment came about.

Yep. And this page gives a nice introduction: http://cassiopaea.org/

I think your question has been answered above -- you don't have to read far into the materials to understand what the original "experiment" was.

I can't in any way speak for the group, but my personal experience with it over going on 9 years is that this "uncontrolled" experiment has offered many clues as to where to look for information that can be investigated more rigorously. You need to have an idea of what questions to ask when you are doing science, especially when you only have limited time (your remaining lifetime) to work, and when your environment is saturated with false leads.

One of the clues offered was to "network," and this forum is an outgrowth of that idea. The forum in turn generates another stream of clues. I believe it does that in part by serving as an aggregator of the differing bits and pieces of information held by individual forum members, and that is something that can be and has been investigated more directly than would be possible with channeling.

I could swear I came upon "science of channeling" or something of the sort, on the front page to this very forum wherein, indeed, science is bandied about. After all, experiment that is by definition the exercise of science with appropriate controls, is explicitly claimed. Indeed, whatever clues ought to give rise conjecture, competing viable hypotheses subject to rigor within constraints of time. And thanks, I asked no questions about how it came about. First things first: I enquired merely as to whatever experimental protocols of refutable hypothesis and controls.

Possibly this material?

The issue of "channeling" as a scientific experiment - utilizing information obtained by such a method - is problematical, to say the least...

Welcome to the forum, AaronAgassi. Lots to read, glad you're here.

Aside vaguely the notion of anything salvageable from channeling, I still can glean no hypothesis, much less conditions of refutation, not even, for that matter, a clear question calling for explanation in answer. What is the question, then? Apparently something to do with accounting for all manner of occult reference with which the reader is simply assumed to be familiar with, particularly the existence of channels. And this despite all preliminary avowal of scientific skepticism and parsimony of explanation, generally. Why? Ouija boards to tune into the divine Gnosis past satellite interference? PKD, anyone?

Hi Aaron, I think the problem here is that you are asking a very vague question. Could you please phrase your question clearly and concisely so that it can be answered in the same manner?

Hello AaronAgassi.

For some reason I am having a difficult time understanding exactly what your point is. For some reason I have an inkling that you have something to ask or say, but what that may be is hidden within labored wordsmithing. Could you communicate somewhat more simply direct to your point of inquiry or statement?
Thank you very much.

Same here. Plain english would be really helpful. :)

Again, what is the problematic question? What is the hypothesis in answer? How is it being tested? What would be the conditions of refutation? What are the experimental controls?

Again - can you please phrase your question clearly and concisely? If not, you will be removed from this forum. The sentence 'what is the hypothesis in answer?' isn't even grammatically correct, not to mention that it is nonsensical.

Again, what is the problematic question? What is the hypothesis that comes in answer thereto and how so? How is said hypothesis being tested and what would be the conditions of refutation? What are the experimental controls?
