🧭 Protocol: Controlled Settings for Paracognitive Research
A universal framework for establishing scientific integrity across any paranormal inquiry.
I. 🔒 Foundational Intent
Declare Purpose: Open each session with clear ethical intent. Example: "To investigate the presence of non-local intelligence through structured observation."
Ritual Grounding (Optional): Use elements like candles, sigils, or seasonal markers to mark energetic thresholds. These are symbolic, not evidentiary.
II. 🛠️ Environmental Controls
| Element | Control Recommendations |
|---|---|
| Light | Use stable lighting—infrared, candlelight, or natural dusk. Avoid flicker. |
| Sound | Reduce ambient noise. Controlled white noise may enhance focus. |
| Tech Interference | Disable nearby devices unless part of your instrumentation. |
| Layout | Maintain a fixed environment. Mark object positions for repeatability. |
| Time Protocol | Use consistent timing. Note lunar, planetary, or seasonal markers. |
III. 📋 Questioning Structure
Ask non-leading questions to avoid bias.
Establish a Verification Loop—repeating inquiries across sessions for consistency.
Seek intelligent responsiveness (e.g., timed reaction, pattern repetition).
IV. 🎥 Documentation and Archival Practice
Record sessions with timestamps and maintain a detailed log:
Time, date, location
Equipment and placement
Observer state
Anomalies or shifts Organize and archive all results—captured or uncaptured.
V. 🧠 Philosophical Reminder
Anomalous ≠ Paranormal: Strange does not confirm spirit.
Repetition + Intelligence = Hypothesis Strengthening, not proof.
Credibility Is Sovereign: The integrity of the practitioner defines the value of the work.
🔍 Addendum: On Candle Flames and Spirit Boxes
While a candle flame may be used as a symbolic threshold or observational tool, spirit boxes are not part of controlled settings. Their randomness and reliance on pareidolia compromise credibility. Use of such devices signals performance, not investigation.
