Do you think you have had an astral-related experience? As astral science researchers, we at Amare Rosita Foundation, are interested in collecting astral-related materials for analysis. This includes experiences, concerns, fears, solutions, reactions. Too often, people feel afraid to share or even admit to having astral experiences. The stigma surrounding these experiences often stops people … Continue reading DISCUSSION BOARD

The sensitive consciousness is thus revealed to us
The sensitive consciousness is thus revealed to us as composed of three elements; a permanent self, having a sensitive organism extended in space, and with successive affections of that organism taking place in time. None of these elements, apart from the rest, can he presented or represented in consciousness; and the distinction between sense and … Continue reading The sensitive consciousness is thus revealed to us
The psychological characteristics of the five senses
The psychological characteristics of the five senses in general, omitting those which properly belong to physiological inquiries, may be summed up as follows: The proper function of each and all of them is a sensation, or affection of the nervous organism as animated; which affection, however, does not, and in all probability cannot, exist in … Continue reading The psychological characteristics of the five senses
The object of touch proper has no special name
Touch, however, differs in some remarkable particulars from the other senses. There is no distinct organ appropriated to the tactual sensations alone; and the various parts of the body by which these may be communicated may also be the instruments of other classes of sensations, all of which have been confounded under the general name … Continue reading The object of touch proper has no special name
Touch is regarded by many writers as the most objective
Touch is regarded by many writers as the most objective and the most trustworthy of all our faculties. It has been described as the source of our knowledge of the existence of an external world, and of the real magnitudes, figures, and distances of objects; as the instructor of the other senses, and tire corrector … Continue reading Touch is regarded by many writers as the most objective
Sight is of all the senses the most communicative as a vehicle of information
Sight is of all the senses the most communicative as a vehicle of information, and consequently the one in which there is the least immediate consciousness of pleasure or pain in the exercise. Most of the knowledge, however, which this sense, in its matured state, conveys to us, belongs to its acquired, not to its … Continue reading Sight is of all the senses the most communicative as a vehicle of information
The pleasure derived from music is mainly intellectual
In Hearing, the functions of sensation and perception are perhaps more nearly balanced than in any other of the senses. The subjective character of various sounds, as sources of pleasure or pain to the hearer, maybe contrasted with their objective character, as resembling or differing from each other; and as in the latter relation this … Continue reading The pleasure derived from music is mainly intellectual
Taste, like smell, is thus a modification of touch
The principal characteristics of the sense of Smell are common to that of Taste also. The two senses resemble each other in being both powerful as instruments of feeling, and proportionally weak as sources of information. Tastes, like smells, admit of hardly any classification, except in respect of their relation to the sensitive organism, as … Continue reading Taste, like smell, is thus a modification of touch
The true object of smell is to be found in the odorous particles
In Smell, as in the other senses, it is necessary to distinguish between the sensation itself and its object, which, in ordinary language, are not unfrequently confounded together. Thus we speak of the organ of smell, and of the smell of a rose, using the same term indifferently to signify the act of inhaling an … Continue reading The true object of smell is to be found in the odorous particles
The stronger the sensation, the weaker the perception
Perception is sometimes defined as “ the knowledge we obtain, by means of our sensations, of the qualities of matter.” This definition may be admitted, if matter is understood as including our own bodily organism, as well as the extra-organic objects to which it is related. The former is the only kind of matter that … Continue reading The stronger the sensation, the weaker the perception

Perception proper is the consciousness of the existence of our body
Sensation, in its most general acceptation, is sometimes used to signify the whole of that portion of considerable misunderstanding. Etymologically, the term should denote a turning lack of the mind upon an object previously existing, so that the existence of a state of consciousness is distinct from the reflection on that state. In this sense, … Continue reading Perception proper is the consciousness of the existence of our body
The Matter of intuitive consciousness
Space and time are known to us as formal conditions of consciousness; whether they are anything more than such conditions is a question which at present we have no means of answering. The laws of consciousness must be primarily manifested as binding upon the conscious mind. As such, they necessarily accompany every manifestation of consciousness; … Continue reading The Matter of intuitive consciousness
Consciousness is the result of a human intellect
Consciousness is the result of a human intellect acting in conjunction with a human organisation; and if we withdraw or mutilate either element, we produce, not an actual man, but a hypothetical monster. A being endowed, according to the hypothesis of Étienne Bonnot de Condillac, with a sense of smell only, and identifying himself with … Continue reading Consciousness is the result of a human intellect
The mind is but the passive recipient of impressions from without
The exercise of the locomotive faculty implies a consciousness of space as containing our own body; but the idea of space cannot be said to be derived from locomotion, since the mere volition to move implies a prior consciousness of this relation. Space is thus not by itself an object of sensible intuition, but forms … Continue reading The mind is but the passive recipient of impressions from without
Space is the form or mental condition of our perception
Space is the form or mental condition of our perception of external objects. The phenomena of the material world may vary in an infinite number of ways; but, under every variety, they retain the condition of existing in space, either as being themselves sensibly extended, or as having a local position in the sensitive organism. … Continue reading Space is the form or mental condition of our perception
Preservative Consciousness
In adopting the term presentation or intuition, to express the consciousness of any individual affection of the mind, a writer may be liable to the charge of innovation, in what was, at least in the last generation, the established language of English philosophy. But in this case necessity has no law. We need a term … Continue reading Preservative Consciousness
The general denomination of Intuitions
The distinctive feature of presentative consciousness consists in the fact that it is caused by the actual presence of an individual object, whether thing, act, or state of mind, occupying a definite position in time, or in space, or in both. It is true that this object is not discerned as such, and the consciousness … Continue reading The general denomination of Intuitions
Our personal consciousness
Human consciousness, then, in the only form in which it can be examined and described, is a compound of various elements, of whose separate action, if it ever existed, we retain no remembrance, and therefore no power of reproducing ie. thought. It is impossible to have a distinct conception of an act of pure sensation— … Continue reading Our personal consciousness
Does astral affect the land?
Nothing is safe on earth. In the physical plane, worms can feed off the human body as well as off our plants, trees and animals. Just like in the physical plane, astral parasites feed off humans, animals and plants. Some of the fresh vegetables and fruits that we eat are infested. Trees are dying for … Continue reading Does astral affect the land?
One step further: Time through the eyes of a psychic
As per Wikipedia: "Galileo, Newton, and most people up until the 20th century thought that time was the same for everyone everywhere. This is the basis for timelines, where time is a parameter. The modern understanding of time is based on Einstein's theory of relativity, in which rates of time run differently depending on relative … Continue reading One step further: Time through the eyes of a psychic
Thoughts on Nonlocality: Through the eyes of a psychic
As psychics with abilities such as the clair senses, we see life with an added pair of glasses. We see life in the context of nonlocality. For example, when we use clairaudience as an ability, we are using the method of communication between a clairaudient and the unseen entity. How is that possible? Where is … Continue reading Thoughts on Nonlocality: Through the eyes of a psychic
Consciousness of things and thoughts
The mind, like the body, acquires its functions by insensible degrees, “ unseen, yet crescive in its faculty,” and we find ourselves in the possession and exercise of nature’s gifts without being able to say how we acquired them. Consciousness proper, as above described, must possess in some degree the attributes of clearness and distinctness. … Continue reading Consciousness of things and thoughts
Astral Parasites
Astral parasites enter the atmosphere through leaking from one world to the next. They pass through electrical outlets, equipment or tools. They invade the rivers, the lakes, the oceans, the animals, the plants, the food supply. They ooze through, unseen at first and then via clairvoyance they are seen, and via clairsentience they are felt. … Continue reading Astral Parasites
Quick advice for astral workers
The astral plane is important to be explored because it assists humans in understanding where they go when they die. However, the astral plane can be a scary place, just like when you land in a violent or criminal location you fear for your life. Dead humans who have led a clean, benevolent life just … Continue reading Quick advice for astral workers
What is astral science
Astral science is a science because it requires knowledge of its rules, its policies, its ways, its purpose, its agenda, its outcome. Every subject that has all the stated requirements has the title of science. Astral science is heading to the discovery of a world other than the physical, but which is the same than … Continue reading What is astral science
How astral energies affect human health
The astral realm affects human health by causing illnesses, ills, suicides, negative behaviors as well as by inducing drug need, alcohol need, criminal activities, and murders. The astral realm, by leaking the venom of the negative entities and pests into the electrical, atmospheric, water, electronic source or mode of living -- causes disturbances in the … Continue reading How astral energies affect human health
The Inhabitants of the Astral Plane
In the physical plane, you will encounter humans, animals, insects, trees, water systems, and so forth. Many types of entities live on the physical plane. Well, it is the same on the astral plane. Many types of entities live there too - dead humans, dead animals, pests and parasites, and all other sorts of energetic … Continue reading The Inhabitants of the Astral Plane
What Is The Astral Space
The Astral Space is the realm of the dead, awaiting entrance to higher levels of heaven, if we can call it that way. It is full of good and bad, of nefarious and vicious, of criminal and hateful, and of meek and discontent people. Those of a pure mind only have a stop in the … Continue reading What Is The Astral Space
The Universe: Through The Eyes Of A Psychic
The universe is all of space and time, of energy and matter. It contains planets, stars, galaxies, you, me, and things you can't see. There are many universes out there. And they are all functioning at their own pace, at their own rhythm. Our universe is just one of them. It is hard to conceive … Continue reading The Universe: Through The Eyes Of A Psychic
I know that I know
An animal at this stage of intelligence might, for instance, he beaten for a fault, and the recurrence of the fault might naturally suggest an imagination of the pain; but this imagination need not be consciously regarded as a remembrance of pain felt at a former time. The reproduction would be spontaneous, not voluntary, and … Continue reading I know that I know
An indefinite sense of uneasiness
Let us suppose, for instance the existence of a being, furnished with human organs of sensation, but with no power of remembering or reflecting upon the objects presented to them, and no continuance of any impression beyond the moment of its actual presence. It is probable that, in such a case, though diverse objects might … Continue reading An indefinite sense of uneasiness
To have a complete consciousness
In every complete act of consciousness offered to us for analysis, the presentative and representative elements are combined; and without such a combination it would appear as if consciousness, properly so called, could have no existence. To have a complete consciousness, for example, of any particular object of sense, say of an oak-tree, two conditions … Continue reading To have a complete consciousness
Presentative and representative consciousness
It is sufficient for our present purpose to state, that whatever occupies a distinct portion of space, however arbitrarily distinguished, is an individual object of external intuition; and whatever occupies a distinct moment of time, without extension in space, is an individual object of internal intuition. On the other hand, general notions or concepts, as … Continue reading Presentative and representative consciousness
Time is to individual phenomena of mind
The individual is thus the ultimate object of all actual consciousness; in intuition directly, and in thought indirectly. To complete our explanation, we must therefore determine what is meant by an individual. By the term an individual is meant, in psychology, no more than an object occupying a definite position in space or time. It … Continue reading Time is to individual phenomena of mind
The ultimate object of all consciousness
The same distinction is applicable to mental as well as to bodily phenomena. I feel an emotion of anger; I am conscious of its presence now, as a definite state of mind distinguishable from others. This consciousness is presentative. When the angry fit is over, I meditate upon my past state, and recall in imagination … Continue reading The ultimate object of all consciousness
Consciousness, in its relation to the subject
Consciousness, in its relation to the subject or person conscious, is of two kinds or rather, is composed of two elements—the presentative or intuitive, and the representative or reflective. The phenomena of the former class maybe distinguished by the general name of Intuitions; those of the latter by that of Thoughts. Presentative or intuitive consciousness … Continue reading Consciousness, in its relation to the subject
The facts of consciousness
Physical science does not trouble itself with the inquiry, whether the objects which it investigates are real or apparent; qualities of matter or modes of the spectator’s own mind; whether they are gained directly or indirectly; by innate or acquired powers, by one faculty of the mind alone or by the union of many. Its … Continue reading The facts of consciousness
The whole cycle of human knowledge
The study of the master-minds of the human race is almost equally instructive in what they achieved and in what they failed to achieve; and speculations which are far from solving the riddle of existence have their use in teaching us why it is insoluble. Thus it appears that the term Metaphysics has been at … Continue reading The whole cycle of human knowledge
The cause of change
A short analysis of the principal subjects treated of in the Metaphysics of Aristotle will serve to exhibit the details of the former method, as far as our present limits will permit, the unchanging principle of all change and motion. Sensible substances, the objects of physical science, are subject to change; and all change implies … Continue reading The cause of change
