Synchronized Virtual Reality Heartbeat Triggers Out-of-Body Experiences

Zothecula writes "New research demonstrates that triggering an out-of-body experience (OBE) could be as simple as getting a person to watch a video of themselves with their heartbeat projected onto it. According to the study, it's easy to trick the mind into thinking it belongs to an external body and manipulate a person's self-consciousness by externalizing the body's internal rhythms. The findings could lead to new treatments for people with perceptual disorders such as anorexia and could also help dieters too."

Reality is malleable. Everybody has a reality distortion/creation field that they project.

Randi is an evil sorceror that wishes to keep the masses in ignorance of their power to influence reality and thereby increase the effectiveness of his own power. Manipulating reality through mass belief he's created a testing environment where the 'laws' of physics can't be bent. It's the equivalent of asking people to prove that a cell phone communicates with other phones but then puts them inside a faraday cage to test.

With the beauty of symmetry, those who do not seek control over others realize no good would come of this revelation as the majority of humanity isn't ready for it (the majority of humanity can't even be trusted to feed themselves correctly), and so their action compliments that of the evil sorcerors who use ignorance to gain control.
