Proper Mediation Inc. architectural consultancy is offered on the basis of a proper recognizing ability called ‘Extrasensory Perception(ESP)’. Why do we need ESP for proper perceiving of things? Aren’t we already seeing the world with our reasons and rationality? Unfortunately, the world we see with our senses is in its own sense very limited. Take a look around and see how varied and diversified it is that people view things. However, if we are, in our valuable lifetime, seeking after ‘truth’, the quality of being in accordance with reality, it is whole other task. We have to flip the table and try to see the fact that we have been missing.
ESP is a reception of information not gained through the recognized physical senses. It is a form of direct perception, an immediate apprehension independent of any reasoning process. This perceptive system is able to cognize something the ordinary mind ignores. Like involuntary muscles that contract without conscious control or the respiratory system that provides oxygen to the body at its own self-regulation, this is the system of perception that is ‘profoundly natural’ but somehow veiled in oblivion.
In the late 1970s, Dr. G. Goodheart published the results of his research on the application of applied kinesiology. He argued that the food with harmful ingredients decreases the strength of muscle whereas with healthy ingredients causes the opposite. Refined research on the relationship between muscle strength and emotional stimuli was conducted by Dr. J. Diamond. From these observations, the significance has been drawn that the human body is always in a certain cognitive state. What is compelling is that this particular cognition is something that humane intelligible fails to apprehend. The conclusive evidence is body knows something at a level far below conceptual consciousness and it was able to signal through muscle strength.
Among other body-awareness mechanisms, a technique called ‘dowsing’ is a relatively easy way to detect such non-ordinary awareness. Numerous tests indicate that when engaged, the tools give a clear response(s) at certain spots across the field. Such signals disclosed through the body are certainly the things that are not in line with the rationale. What this phenomenal evidence capture is the confirmation of ‘other’ perceptive system that is at work. But then, how does this system of knowing relate to the understanding of space?
How do we understand ‘space’?
Identification of ESP in human cognition has ignited critical search for its proper application. Throughout the years of concentrating and deepening the conscious experience of it in diverse fields, what is known as ‘space’ has come to be apprehended from a fresh perspective. Numerous field researches have been executed in the ancient heritages around the world and the existence of certain forces have been discovered and classified in terms of their subtle coherency to the built manifestation. Diverse mounds, dolmens, stone circles, statues, temples, and churches have emerged as coordinately positioned entities within proper resonance with the forces. It is well known that throughout the history people have taken great interests in inquiring ways to harmonize the human dwelling with the surrounding environment. They all implicate the belief that there are flows of forces at play on the surface of the earth that affect the condition of human life. What ESP has brought forth was the ‘fitting’ verification that such forces do exist in nature.
From the years of observation carried out by ‘Self-realization Institute’ in Korea which has been expertizing in the field of ESP and other contemplative practices over 30 years, a total of 14 force types have been compiled as the effective forces to built environment and human condition. What is shown below is the description of major forces that has been measured on the ancient heritages of spiritual significance.
The evidence of ‘Extrasensory perception’ through a body is explicitly palpable. Advancing this mode of perception to the sacred architecture from the ancient, it acutely shows the direct bond between the placement and force figuration. From this picture, it is understood that the quality of sacredness is something that is manifested in association with the forces in nature.
How can we design the proper architecture?
It is probably the most essential that the mode of extra-sensorial looking should be applied and practiced in the domain of architecture. The very basic placement can be located based on the forces at work. Design can also be executed based on the same basis. Since the act of ‘measuring’ based on ESP can be applied to any field, not only the placement but also shape and dimension of the building can be proportioned which would make it resonate with the forces in proper coherency.
Change ‘Self’, Change the World
ESP should not be underestimated due to the lack of reliable accuracy. The essence lies in the fact that this non-ordinary perception exists and can be disclosed through a body. The matter of accuracy lies in the contemplative effort to recede subjective inclinations and predetermined conceptions. It is about making oneself ‘extra’, and going into ‘tabular rasa’ where one would find a sacred picture of man’s relation to the universe. It is the task of human beings to realize this ‘given-ness’ and prove it by actual exercise.
