The pROSHI is a simple to use (turn unit on, close eyes, adjust light intensity, meditate) light stimulation device that disentrains the mind’s brainwaves. In so doing the mind ceases all brain chatter and begins to listen. During a pROSHI session neuropathways are repaired, rejuvenated or redirected in such a way that the ability to concentrate on achieving goals becomes easier and more clearly defined.

The pROSHI 2 comes with three different ROSHIframes (Mag-Stim included) and is for years been actively used by those in the professional medical community. Three dimensional two-channel ROSHIframes became available a few months back and are being heralded by therapists and clinicians as their primary adjunctive modality for professional medical treatment. Both the pROSHI 2 and pROSHI 3D systems are highly beneficial when dealing with head trauma, PTSD and a host of others that affect how we think.

The pROSHI is expensive. The pROSHI is expensive to build. Regardless, when people are seeking the finest in brainwave stimulation with a system built to last a lifetime they choose pROSHI. Instead of paying the total amount in one lump sum purchase by credit card and spread the payments out. And use your pROSHI to amplify your positive thoughts.

The only retail website authorized to sell the pROSHI 2 and 3D systems is Mindmachines.com. Everyone at Mindmachines regularly partakes in pROSHI sessions and possess the knowledge to correctly answer your pROSHI questions. They also express ship all pROSHI orders worldwide for free.

Green color stimulation came next after red, followed by a red / green combination of pulsed light stimulation. After that, it was as if various color LEDs spontaneously generated because lightframes were being offered featuring white, blue, orange, yellow, all kinds of colors and combinations. It was as if the light and sound manufacturers finally found an LED source offering more than the color red. This change from one available color stimulation lightframe to various different color lightframe choices occurred rather quickly – all within just a few years.

There was one glaring problem that light and sound machine users had to deal with for years: If you wanted a different color stimulation you had to purchase that particular color’s lightframe. Mind machine enthusiasts owned boxfulls of lightframes and were annoyed by having to spend so much to use a machine promoting relaxation.

The rationalization was technology possessed the ability to provide several different LED colors capable of generating specific colors within one lightframe so why were the manufacturers sticking with just one or two specific colors in their lightframes? The manufacturers were not keeping up with the times. Why?

Let’s sidetrack a bit and start with just the lightframe, not what color is being generated. Every lightframe manufacturer used a specific polarity – either Common Ground or Common Power. Sure you now have multiple colors contained within one lightframe, but to work on a particular light and sound machine the lightframes had to be a compatible polarity. If you had the wrong polarity the lightframes would not work. The late Chris Williams changed things…

In the middle 1980′s brainwave entrainment machines were readily available. Psych Research, later to become IQ International, designed and developed InnerQuest mind machines which were considered the best (much like the DAVID Delight Pro by Mind Alive and pROSHI Dynamic Neuroactivator by Chuck Davis are viewed today).

IQ International’s founder, the late Rob Robinson, designed pulsed light and sound sessions so effective that many were used as templates for future sessions or became protocols for learning relaxation instruction.

These past twenty-five years have seen plenty of changes. Setting aside the enormous amount of research supporting light and sound stimulation as beneficial and simply looking at light and sound machines and how far they have evolved, the obvious major change is in having a color selection for the pulsed light stimulation.

Back in the ’80′s your ‘choice’ of colors was red. Red was the only lightframe option. Being a warmer color, red is generally accepted as being conducive to affecting the higher brainwave frequencies and less for, when compared to cooler colors such as blue, brainwave frequencies associated with deep meditation and sleep.

“In 1952, [editor of Analog Science Fiction and Fact] John W. Campbell proposed the term “psionics”, from psi (‘psyche’) and the ending -onics from electronics (machine), which implied that the paranormal powers of the mind could be made to work reliably.”

Whereas biofeedback measures and feeds back only the physiological aspects of being, Psiofeedback^™ includes the mental/emotional and spiritual facets as well.  Psiometrics^™ has a depth of discernment not available within biometrics because its “artificial awareness” algorithms can examine and manipulate the most fundamental building blocks of a person’s reality that govern their manner of being and doing.  Whereas one might conceive of biometrics as an “emotional engine”, Psiometrics^™ can be seen more as an “awareness engine” that extends into those extra domains of mind and spirit.

Psiofeedback^™ provides a continuous stream of transliminal stimulus to effect transformation replete with its several side effects of opening perception, expanding awareness and increasing creativity.  Our use of the prefix Psio comes from ancient Greek words psi and omega. And implies a science of measuring, analyzing and processing resources required to effect change in accordance with one’s will.

The Portacle^™ is the first of a new generation of true Psiofeedback^™ programs designed and tested by world-class supercomputers and over 60 years of combined research and development.  We say true, because until now biofeedback has been limited to feeding back unrelated signals when specified goals are accomplished, such as a beep or flash of light.  Psiometric^™  sensory inputs, process and output the users own unique, personal waveforms.  In addition, whereas standard biofeedback methods can find only the average mean frequency, this system is based on new methodology that allows it to see the true fundamental and harmony present within the signal.  All dissonance and noise is removed, so that only the true harmonic signature is captured, processed and fed back to the user.

Psiometrics^™ is a quantum technology that is based upon the new science of automata, which are the smallest, most indivisible building blocks of reality.  At this most primal level of reality there are only two aspects of a reality, the part that represents the machine and the part that represents the operator.  We live inside of an instrument, but we are the player of the instrument.  Psychologists call these two polar opposites personal versus impersonal, and scientists call them real and imaginary.  The simplest way to define this is as a difference between actual and potential.  Every object and person in the universe is partially actualized but partially still shrouded in the mystery of potential.  Real represents what-is whereas imaginary is what remains hidden in potential.

Psiometrics^™ goes way below the level of frequency to measure and effect change.  There are other aspects of signal analysis that are more important than frequency, which is only a carrier wave.  Intention is imbedded in the timing of the peaks and valleys,  phase, whereas emotion is riding on the magnitude envelope.  Psiometrics^™ includes all three of these components (frequency, phase & magnitude) in its wave analysis and feedback.

The Portacle^™ is a Psiometrics^™ technology, which we believe represents the future of human biometric science.  Whereas biometric methodologies measure only the physiological aspects of being, the Portacle^™ includes mental, emotional and spiritual characteristics as well.  It was designed on the principle of non-invasive, self-controlled integration of mind, body and spirit. It’s not an old-paradigm technology whose only use is to increase one’s advantage over another, but rather one that teaches self-responsibility and respect in all things.

The Psiometrics^™ team, along with our concordance of users, webinars, online assistance and world-class supercomputer can provide the dedicated support required for you to make quantum leaps to the next highest level of order.  However, the third ingredient is purely up to you…your own active pursuit.  If there is nothing you wish to change in your life; career, relationship, finances, direction, creativity, etc., then this may not be for you.  However, if you are seeking change/direction in your life, or trying to turn past success into present and future significance…the psiometric Portacle^™ might be just what you’ve been looking for.

By Don Estes, inventor of “THE PORTACLE“

The Law of Attraction has become a household word.  Suddenly it has become the buzzword amongst those studying ways in which to enrich and enhance life.  TV infomercials, movies, print media and songs about it have become commonplace.  However, the meaning of the law and its application are two different things.  The literature is replete with definitions and descriptions about the meaning of the law, but far too little effort has been put into defining the physics of it.

Much has been revealed about the meaning of the law and how it can be applied, but the world is still waiting on the physics of the law to reveal how to actually go about taking advantage of it beyond merely holding positive thoughts.  What are the mechanisms by which it works?  Our efforts have been focused on developing and designing tools that allow a person to apply the law more elegantly, efficiently and with less effort.  What we have found is the missing link on how to implement and administer this amazing universal principle of magnetism.

Research into quantum mechanics has shown that the act of observing reality creates it.  Attempting to observe something causes it to appear out of the nothing.  By the same token, if you are not aware of something…it does not exist in your subjective reality.  In addition, the so-called placebo effect has indicated that positive or negative attitudes can produce corresponding results.  Furthermore, the work of Dossey and others, have shown that prayer has an effect whether the recipient is aware of it or not.[1]

It is beginning to become increasingly evident that we co-create our own reality through the way we think and feel…in other words, via our unique and personal perception of reality.  We draw into ourselves that which we perceive as real.  This is the essence of the law of attraction that has been postulated and well-described in the literature since the New Thought Movement at the turn of the 20^th century all the way up to the current writings of Esther and Jerry Hicks, and so aptly revealed in recent movies such as What the Bleep and The Secret.

A quantum of energy only exists as a wave of probable locations and motions in space. It is omnipresent but yet nowhere at the same time. Light and matter do not exist until something happens to it to make them “real”, but what is that?  Science has shown this to be something called the “collapse of the wave function”.  And further investigation has revealed that it is consciousness, which performs this action to manifest reality.

The wave function contains all of the possible outcomes of a particular situation, but only one appears in the real world when it is collapsed by an attending consciousness.  Even now, scientists are all peering over each other’s shoulders watching the event screen of the new supercollider in Cern, Switzerland.  They’re expecting to see two protons crash into each other and when they do the screen captures an “event” that shows the release all of the subatomic particles that make them up.  What they don’t realize is that their own observation of the screen is causing the wave functions to appear, but since they don’t have any intention to use them in any constructive way, they just disappear again:~)

Event Screen showing the collapsing wave function of two colliding protons.

An energy parcel must be OBSERVED by a consciousness in order to be real.  Until that time it lies shrouded in the mystery of potential on the other side of the quantum veil. When the energy is OBSERVED, its “wave function” collapses, making it detectable in the real world.  These particles can’t be seen by the naked eye but only with sophisticated machines that can show where the particle was, along with its speed and direction at the moment it was observed.

Knowing that each of our realities (body, mind and spirit) are made from these energy particles whose wave functions have collapsed through our own observation, we can learn how to more efficiently and elegantly manifest our own reality through better understanding and control of the wave collapse function.  By observing in our minds what we want to manifest through visualization, inner-hearing and direct feeling of our intentions, we can learn to create what we want.  Likewise, we can deny the collapse of possibilities into things, events and situations that we don’t want by refusing to give them our attention.

Since both consciousness and spirit reside on the other side of the veil in the spectral domain, it makes sense that we can manipulate our reality better when we are in an inspired state or positive mood.  When we are connected to Source, we hold more power to effect true and positive change in our own lives and our entire sphere of influence.  When we stay in that state of grace and appreciation, patterns emerge, synchronicities increase and people want to be around us and want to join us in that state of perfection.  It is easier to collapse a positive wave function while in this mode.

To remain in this state requires the full attention of consciousness.  The immediate awareness of the divine, the one and the all that is leads to trust in the universe that leads to the faith required to step up to a higher level of order.  We must learn how to collapse only the positive, constructive wave functions while taking our attention away from those that lead to negative, destructive outcomes.  The intention, expression and action of a single person can change the direction of the entire global community

This phenomenon of “observing” reality extends to the other sensory mechanisms as well.  When you hear something inside from your inner voice, that spirit of truth or higher self, or feel something deep inside your very core, you are doing the same thing as observing it…you are experiencing it.  Therefore, experience is a more appropriate word to describe the true full nature of the wave collapse function.  And when that experience can be multi-sensory, it is even better.  Seeing, hearing and feeling an experience results in a state of sensory resonance, where all of the sensory mechanisms are synchronized and a balanced autonomic nervous system leads to a simultaneous feeling of profound relaxation and incredible inspiration at the same time (see the theory of sensory resonance).

We each have an animal and spiritual component.  We are neither one of these aspects but rather a consciousness sandwiched in between, whose job it is to choose between the options offered by these two opposing primary elements of ourselves and resolve the tension created by the difference between the polarities – remember the old cartoons where a little angel appears on one shoulder with a little devil on the other?  This is life.

If a person self-generates their own evolution and positive spiritual growth, they draw into themselves positive experience.  However, when a person takes the wait and see approach to evolution, just sits around and “goes with the flow” by taking whatever is offered them, they fall prey to the “strange attractor” or the chaos of nature that disassembles and forces rearrangement and reassembly to a higher level of order.  The ancient Greeks, who knew that he function of spirit was to “undo” anything not found to be in order, called this process Ktisis.

The universe and our lives are not ordered by nature, they are fundamentally disordered…in chaos.  However, the four fundamental forces that physicists believe materialize reality have recently become redefined as cosmic attractors that create patterns of order over time.  This is the real secret of how reality becomes manifest.  Space is the original force that creates the world through a zero dimensional point or singularity.  Time is used to sequence the points together into the other attractors.

In order to utilize the Law of Attraction, a person must become an attractor.  However, there are four orders of attractors:

1. The 1^st order POINT attractor – leads one to be drawn into one particular activity or become stuck in a rut by becoming too focused on a single perception or fixation.
2. The 2^nd order CYCLE attractor – causes one to get caught up in analytical thinking or a never-ending loop that just repeats itself over and over.
3. The 3^rd order limit TORI attractor – which is a step in the right direction as it provides for a dynamic flow of energy, however is somewhat limited due to its quasi-periodicity.
4. The 4^th order STRANGE attractor – which is the chaotic actions of the Absolute undoing anything that is found not to be in order.

The focus, function and quality of attention and expression one pays and makes, determines which attractor they fall into. The best course of action is to align oneself with the Torus attractor, to direct it and arrange one’s entire energy field into the constraints of that dynamic topological space, which un-limits it and allows it to become somewhat periodic and repeatable, permitting an integration of chaotic change ordered and managed by an equal amount of determinism.  In other words, a person can become a limitless toroidal attractor drawing in what they want rather than just taking whatever the chaotic strange attractor has to offer.  This is the optimized essence of the Law of Attraction and the key to its understanding and application.

Watching a spectral-domain image of a time-domain object through eyes-open meditation[1] and observing these attractors in action, can reveal hidden desires or intentions that lie beyond the threshold of awareness.  Such images are intentional palettes upon which one can visualize intention.  It has been shown that all geometries and shapes come from different ratios of real and imaginary partials that combine together into the complex form that makes up the wave function.  Knowing this, and that voiced or breathed expression is nothing more than a flow of these real and imaginary components, it becomes technically possible to learn how to draw out what one wishes to see on the screen, hear what one wants to hear in the headphones and feel what one wants to feel inside, by learning how to communicate with and direct the actions of the automata that make up all things.

Observing, hearing and feeling what one thinks and feels on the inside is the first step in learning to collapse the wave function.  This, in turn, is the equivalent of applying the law of attraction by learning how to align oneself with the appropriate attractor by paying attention to them in the images. Using a multi-sensory bi-phasic approach that requires the user to become the agent of their own transformation by resolving the difference and tension between the operator and machine, a polarity that can also be described as player vs. instrument, subjective vs. objective, actual vs. potential, or as the engineers know them as real versus imaginary.  These real and imaginary components are called automata, which are the smallest, most indivisible components or building blocks of reality.[2]

At the most primal basic level of reality we are both operator and machine. Affecting change at that level can allow one the opportunity to set up the next moment and change their life forever.  Achieving integration between the player and instrument is the epitome and final destiny of collapsing the wave function.

Psychologists have known for years that visualizing an intention in an inkblot image is the equivalent of collapsing many possibilities into the one personally experienced by the observer. Hearing the inner-voice or music in white noise is another example.  That overwhelming ring of truth that is often felt in ways that can’t easily be explained is further evidence of this phenomenon.  Taking those concepts to the quantum level and providing a way for a person to visualize their intention, hear their inner voice and experience the their feelings at the most fundamental level of reality where reality originates is one of the main goals of our mission.

The only connection consciousness has to the internal and external environment are the sensory mechanisms that provide it with awareness.  The more sensory mechanisms brought into an experience, the more coherent the experience becomes.[3]  Each of the sensory mechanisms discern a different band of the universal spectrum.  Using multi-sensory quantum feedback, it’s possible to see, hear and feel the wave function and learn how to collapse it into the most desired outcome in accordance with one’s will.

In addition, raw data taken from a person’s brain taken at the same time as a voiced expression and displayed on a phase monitor can take this experience to an even higher level by providing a way to actually witness the collapse very similar to the way they are observed in atom smashers and particle accelerators. However, instead of smashing protons, here we’re talking here about collapsing all of the potentials held to become our present and future realities through thought and perception.

When the brain collapses a wave function full of many possibilities into one on such a display, the image looks similar to the event screen of atom smashers when two protons collide and collapse the wave function into a set of observable particles.  This colorful lightshow is every bit as exciting, entertaining and moving to watch as a rock concert or fireworks display, and it actually means something…that the person has made a personal observation of the moment in accordance with their own perception.

The collapse of a thought form on the Human Neurocomputer™

Being open to more possibilities can enhance the process by providing new, more positive perspectives, which can lead to more desirable outcomes.  Being able to collapse the wave function in accordance with one’s will with access to the quantum through a portal and having a personal oracle to help make decisions, are the greatest life-coping tools anyone could possess.

Where to begin? How best to introduce this enigmatic technological achievement?

On one hand you can think of The Portacle as a “You’re getting warmer indicator” when practicing the law of attraction or a way of receiving feedback and reinforcing positive mental and spiritual activity.  In another instance it can be thought of as your private digital therapist.  Yes, really!  Talk into The Portacle and listen to what you hear back.  Then repeat those things you hear and elaborate.. and continue.  It sound pretty strange, but it is entirely fascinating.

Another way to think of The Portacle is that it “hacks” into the subconscious and provides feedback and clues to what is going on deep in the psyche and spirit.

Ok, how’s that?  Pretty interesting, right?  Without further delay let me introduce Don Estes, the inventor of The Portacle!  In the following articles you will hear directly from Don and we at mind machines.com will be chiming in also.

Megabrain author Mike Hutchison writes new book

about his awakening & enlightenment Part 4

By Nicky Vanvalkenburgh

“Some people may say that this sounds stupid,” admits Hutchison. “Why would you want to turn off your thinking ability? Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! When you are in unconditioned consciousness, you can switch on your mind instantly, anytime you want. There is total absence of thought, resting silently in the deep peace and overwhelming bliss of Consciousness.”

Hutchison provides more detail about his awakening and enlightenment his new book, which is tentatively titled, “The Great Adventure.” He says that this awakening has helped him cope with the chronic neurogenic pain that comes with being a quadriplegic.

“My doctors tell me that I’ve made the greatest progress of anyone in history who broke all those cervical bones simultaneously,” says Hutchison. He remains paralyzed, but gets by with helpers for getting dressed, bathing, cleaning and cooking meals.

Hutchison’s hands are also paralyzed, but he is able to use voice-activated software called

Dragon Speak. The software enables him to dictate into a microphone, so that his words appear on his computer monitor, where he can edit them.

“I’ve learned to spend much of my time in the void,” reflects Hutchison. “It is infinite in all directions, no beginning or end, no self and no ego, total emptiness, unending silence, and infinite space. This is where I spend most of my time, and it takes away my pain. After awhile, I figured that this pure total emptiness and silence— which is also pure total fullness because everything arises out of it— is God. I’m in this state of bliss much of the time, and I want to let others know that all is One and its nature is bliss.”

Hutchison says this bliss is with him all the time, even 10 years after his first Enlightenment experience. “I am still living in poverty, but I’m in Unconditioned Awareness much of the time, and that makes me the happiest man in the world,” he says.

Hutchison continues to work on his book, and is aiming for publication in 2011.

Megabrain author Mike Hutchison writes new book

about his awakening & enlightenment  Part 3

By Nicky Vanvalkenburgh

Doctors told Hutchison that he would die soon. The 60-foot fall had broken almost all of his cervical vertebrae and damaged his spinal cord. The doctors spent hours meticulously reassembling his vertebrae, like a jigsaw puzzle. His spinal cord was fused together with titanium rods, and he was wrapped in a body cast from head to toe. “I was heavily dosed with pain killers and passed in and out of consciousness. I felt like a prisoner, encased in a skin-tight plastic cast that covered my entire torso, arms, and skull. It included two steel bars that ran from my chest to my chin. The steel bars pushed my chin and therefore my entire head backwards,” recalls Hutchison.

Hutchison also felt claustrophobic: “I couldn’t move or breathe; there was nothing I could do to escape this horrible feeling of panic.” The doctors had told him it would take at least four months to recover, and the only thing he could do was stare at the ceiling. Unable to interact with the outside world, Hutchison directed his thoughts inward.

“I spent much of my day in a state of pure bliss consciousness,” recalls Hutchison. “Was it escapism, or a clever use of higher states of consciousness? Whatever it was, it worked! This was one of my first steps in learning to use higher states of consciousness and the path leading upward toward the peak.”

Over the next four months, Hutchison started to remember the details of his accident:

“As memories seeped back into my mind, it became clear to me that the only way I could deal with this total paralysis— quadriplegia— was to return to Oneness. If there was anyway to recover, I had to use the powers of The One. This meant using my Oneness with all of being to reach Enlightenment. Was this possible for someone like me?”

Hutchison found that turning inward took away his feelings of panic, and replaced these negative emotions with peace and bliss: “I could turn off my mind and go into a state of no-mind, emptiness, nothingness, or unconditioned consciousness.”

about his awakening & enlightenment  Part 2

By Nicky Vanvalkenburgh

While running, Hutchison saw two husky men in the distance. “I could barely make them out through the snow, but they appeared to be talking with each other, and glancing at me. I realized that I’d seen these men before. They had been parked in a pickup truck at the end of my long driveway, where my dirt road turned into a paved road. I’d wondered who they were when I drove away from my house that afternoon. As I looked up at them in the thickness of the snowstorm it appeared that both of them were carrying heavy walking sticks or rifles.”

Hutchison says these men grabbed him and hurled him off a 60-foot icy bridge. “They sent me cart wheeling through the snowy air,” recalls Hutchison. “With a thunderous smack and jolt, I landed on a giant boulder in the water. I felt the bones in my spine getting crushed. My head also smashed against the boulders, and instantly I was paralyzed. As I slipped into the icy water, I felt myself die from hypothermia,” he recalls.

Downstream, Hutchison’s body was later discovered. He was underwater, and had been dead over an hour. Miraculously, Hutchison woke up in the hospital emergency room. Doctors resuscitated him with electrical shocks to his chest. Hutchison choked, sputtered and his heart started beating again. “I was alive, but I don’t remember much about this experience. It’s just a montage of disconnected scenes,” he said.

Still in the emergency room, Hutchison’s blood was so cold that doctors circulated his blood through a warming unit and then pumped the warm blood back into his body.

When Hutchison was warm enough to operate on, the doctors discovered there was spinal cord damage: “They found an incredible mess of broken and crushed bones, like one of those long multi-car smash ups on the freeway, with cars turned over, flipped up on top of each other, a scene of total chaos.

Megabrain author Mike Hutchison writes new book

about his awakening & enlightenment

By Nicky Vanvalkenburgh

About 11 years ago, Megabrain author Mike Hutchison was almost killed by a house fire and fall from an icy bridge. Pronounced dead on arrival, Hutchison stunned paramedics and doctors by coming back to life and breathing again. Today, he is a quadriplegic, and is writing a book about the enlightenment that resulted from his experience.

Hutchison suspects the fire was set by arsonists who doused his home with kerosene and set it aflame. The fire destroyed his unpublished book manuscripts, computer and EEG equipment, plus valuable research that Hutchison been working on about peak performance in the brain.

“I woke up in the hospital with a huge tube in my throat feeding me oxygen. I had severe burns and smoke inhalation damage,” said Hutchison, in a private interview with AVS.

“I was in intensive care, with respiratory therapists teaching me to inhale and exhale through various machines. The breathing tube felt like it had taken root inside me. It took two nurses and two aides holding me down to finally yank it out. It felt like they were pulling out not only my lungs, but my entire insides.”

Later discharged from the hospital, Hutchison tried to rehabilitate himself by running.

“At first, I could only go about a hundred yards before feeling like I would faint or puke. I was exhausted, wheezing and coughing up ugly crap,” said Hutchison.

“My life depended on coming up with a new book, which meant I had to get back to my running, so I was tenacious. Slowly over the next few weeks, I began to increase my distances to 2 miles, 4 miles, 6 miles, and gradually my lung capacity increased. Fortunately, I had been in really good physical shape before the fire and was able to make a rapid comeback. After just a few weeks of running, I took a 12 mile run along a hidden trail through the mountains, and back across the river.”
