Orphan date January 2012 null date May 2011 refimprove date May 2011 File BERNARD DE MONTREAL.jpeg thumb Bernard de Montr al Bernard de Montr al 1939 2003 was a Canadian author and lecturer. The author defined his teachings as Psychologie volutionnaire , which translates into English as Evolutionary Psychology, not to be confused with the similar term dealing with a branch of cognitive psychology that draws on the sociobiological theories of natural evolution . The term Evolutionary Psychology , in context of its use in Bernard de Montr al s work refers to the study of the evolution of the human psyche, that is to say the study of its return to the source of all of its dimensions and its consciousness of them. This is an ascending, individuating process leading to multidimensional reality, whereas the na ve or unconscious soul involved collectively in spiritualizing the material dimensions through its domination by a belief system , is a descending or incarnating, collective experience, or involution, as it is termed in this new psychology. Life and Works Bernard de Montr al was born in Montreal, Canada on July 26 1939. He received his early education at the Congregation of the Holy Cross, a Catholic educational institution. After graduation, he went on to study anthropology at the University of Albuquerque in New Mexico. While in New Mexico, Bernard de Montr al experienced a transformation that was the starting point for his exploration of the human mind through telepsychism. At this point in his life, he began conscious channeling, a practice that would open the door to his life s work in topics that included paranormal psychology and metaphysics. Teachings As a percipient and spiritual channeler, Bernard de Montr al used automatic writing, as well as channeled mental dictation, to capture and communicate the information he received. These modes of expression were central to his lectures and teachings. He began lecturing in 1977 and continued teaching and speakin ... more details

Other uses No footnotes date November 2009 Evidence law A witness is someone who has, who claims to have, or is thought by someone with authority to compel testimony to have, knowledge relevant to an event or other matter of interest. In law a witness is someone who, either voluntarily or under compulsion, provides testimonial evidence, either oral or written, of what he or she knows or claims to know about the matter before some official authorized to take such testimony. A percipient witness or eyewitness is one who testifies what they perceived through his or her sense s e.g. seeing, hearing, smelling, touching . That perception might be either with the unaided human sense or with the aid of an instrument, e.g., microscope or stethoscope, or by other scientific means, e.g.,a chemical reagent which changes color in the presence of a particular substance. A hearsay witness is one who testifies what someone else said or wrote. In most court proceedings there are many limitations on when hearsay evidence is admissible. Such limitations do not apply to grand jury investigations, many administrative proceedings, and may not apply to declarations used in support of an arrest or search warrant. Also some types of statements are not deemed to be hearsay and are not subject to such limitations. An expert witness is one who allegedly has specialized knowledge relevant to the matter of interest, which knowledge purportedly helps to either make sense of other evidence, including other testimony, documentary evidence or physical evidence e.g., a fingerprint . An expert witness may or may not also be a percipient witness, as in a doctor or may or may not have treated the victim of an accident or crime. A reputation witness is one who testifies about the reputation of a person or business entity, when reputation is material to the dispute at issue.

Upon graduating with a B.A. from Yale University in 1916, Murphy attended Harvard University, working with Leonard T. Troland L. T. Troland in a telepathy experiment, and achieving his M.A. in 1917. Murphy succeeded Troland as holder of the Hodgson Fellowship in Psychical Research at Harvard University. After the war, in 1919, Murphy continued his studies at Columbia University, working towards his Ph.D., and combined this, until it was awarded in 1923, with work under the Hodgson Fellowship. ref M. Basavanna Dictionary of psychology 2000, p. 263 ref He studied the medium Leonora Piper Leonore Piper , and collaborating with French chemist and psychical researcher Ren Warcollier in a transatlantic telepathy experiment.

From 1921 1925, he served as lecturer in psychology at Columbia University. In 1925, Clark University hosted a symposium on psychical research, and, together with Harvard psychologist William McDougall , Murphy argued for the respect of the field as an academic discipline, while recognizing the difficulties of scientific acceptance and experimentation.

Unreferenced date July 2008 A neural correlate of a content of experience is any bodily component, such as an electro neuro biological state or the state assumed by some biophysics biophysical subsystem of the brain, whose presence necessarily and regularly correlates with such a specific content of experience . When the full ontology ontological consistence or build up of the reality variably called mind , soul , Psyche psychology psyche , or existentiality is called consciousness and deemed to exclusively consist in mental contents associated with and at least partly generated by the Human brain brain organ, the notion of neural correlates of consciousness neural correlate of consciousness is commonly employed. When it is only the sensations that are held to be produced by brain states, whether exclusively or not e.g. , when sensations are also deemed capable of being generated by the mind reacting against itself , then the notion of neural correlate of a content of experience is commonly utilized. A mid way concept, not always clarified, is that of a neural correlate encompassing the production of every mental content but not of consciousness itself. Conceptual frameworks using the notion The notion of a neural correlate of a mental state is an important concept for materialists , those philosophers and researchers who believe that all mental states are equivalent to brain states. According to strict materialists , all properties credited to the mind , including consciousness , emotion , beliefs , and motivation desires have direct neural correlates. This is also a pragmatic view adopted by a number of scholars. This view frequently depends on considering mind s exclusively as sentient knots in nature s causal net. Instead, other neuroscientists find minds inaugurating Causality causal actions in nature, rather than solely being able of merely continuing previously initiated causal sequences. These neuroscientists thus describe minds as percipient agencies, the m ... more details
