Introduction
Professor Schafer has developed a theoretical source code for Psychecology video games that includes: Jungian dream therapy, heart-coherence, Plato’s asymmetrical geometry, embodied transduction, and solidarity of humanitarian intention which can address EM “pandemics” (lies & COVID-19) and generate a Superconductive Culture of Conscience.

Breaking news resounds with the subject of the lawsuit brought by Dominion against Rupert Murdoch the owner of Fox news and the power broker for global neo fascism. Dominion's suit addresses the specific case involving Fox's intentional lies about Dominion's election machines altering election results. However, the larger issue is the robust attack...
Implementing mediated “Evolutionary Learning” (EL) extends much further than existing educational models. EL has Cosmic scope based on Quantum Unified-Field (QUF) physics and transpersonal Psyche as expressed in Carl Jung’s dynamics of dream therapy. EL is characterized by neuro-linguistic synchronicity of mystical and scientific principles that ca...
Due to the paradigm shift into the ontology of a universal Quantum Unified-Field (QFT), most theories of education and learning must be fundamentally changed in order to reflect the "new" reality. For example, the idea that learning is constrained to brain-function without any consideration of heart-mind function is obsolete, and ignoring quantum f...

Solutions to the crisis of planetary extinction cannot be achieved “at the polls”. The challenge goes much deeper than democratic selection of political representatives.

The paradigm shift into an ontological-epistemological (OE) reality of quantum resonance has created the crisis of planetary extinction due to the use of false research premises; i.e., the fundamental research parameters—rational materialistic objectivity—that are still requirements for scientific research have become false premises that generate f...

This article addresses the “advent” of the “Coming One” with the language of the “Singularity” .

The attempted coup of 1/06/2021 in the U.

Issues surrounding democratic government “by the people” in socio-political systems around the world are struggling with the problem of lies, propaganda, and disinformation that are being amplified by the technological “media-sphere” and misconceived as “reality” by human populations.

Theological philosophers—including pagans—have observed the “special” nature of humans but have been vague as to the reasons or justification for this human specialty.

Very-little time left, but even the best efforts of humanitarian operatives are off target!

This treatise extends the concept of “pandemics” beyond biology to an electromagnetic context—and beyond to First-cause Intention.

In a recent paper, Coronavirus May Be A Blessing in Disguise, the COVID-19 phenomenon and the dynamics of a “pandemic” are viewed from a “noumenal” perspective.

2 PREFACE
The concept behind the development of a Psychecology game (PEG) prototype is that authentic game-play based on the most current cognitive research and the principles of dream analysis identified by Carl Jung can promote individual and collective psychological atonement. The dynamic for achieving at-one-ment or coherence is grounded in the scientific hypothesis that universal reality is quantum electrodynamic (QED). According to Jung, such QED patterns called archetypes of the unconscious are projected as ubiquitous mediated images that—even on the scale of pixel patterns—have the same narrative architecture, the same dramatic QED structure. Images tell both objective and subjective stories on multiple atomic-molecular-universal scales. Therefore, “contextual meaning” imbedded within the narrative architecture of story images according to rules of steganography can be induced in game players according to Carl Jung’s Compensational process. This induction is the essence of Jungian dream analysis in which the psychiatrist suggests (amplifies) the symbolic meaning imbedded in the symbolism of dreams. When a dreamer has insight as to this meaning hidden in dreams, insight becomes therapeutic. Moreover, according to Jung, it is not the psychiatrist who heals. Instead, the dreamer heals self with meaningful insight. (Abdullah Alabdulgader, Rollin McCraty, Michael Atkinson, York Dobyns, Alfonsas Vainoras, Minvydas Ragulskis, and Viktor Stolc, 2018; Martin, Howard, ND; Garling, Caleb & Cully, Antoine, 2015; Mortier, Richard, Haddadi, Hamed, Henderson, Tristan, McAuley, Derek, Crowcroft, Jon, 2015; McCraty, Rollin, 2004; McCraty, Rollin, Atkinson, Mike, Tomasino, Dana, and Tiller, William, 1998)
Steganography is the practice of concealing a file, message, image, or video within another file, message, image, or video. The word steganography combines the Greek words steganos, meaning "covered, concealed, or protected", and graphein meaning "writing". GAMING CULTURAL ATONEMENT: COHERENT REFRAMING OF THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS 3 Images abound in our experience: Dreams, memories, fantasies, the mind’s eye, television, technological monitors (Information & Communication Technologies—ICTs), and real-life (waking dreams). All images can be understood and researched according to principles of steganography and correlated with algorithms depicting a unified QED field or a Jungian dreamscape. (Schafer, Stephen Brock, 2017; Schafer, Stephen, Ed., 2017; Schafer, Stephen, 2012). Though steganography is an ancient concept, it is already being researched in terms of a digital context. (Radcliff, Deborah, 2002) With further research, steganography could be refined for the sophisticated purposes of dream-image analysis leading to therapeutic induction. Because these multiple perceptual dimensions can be correlated and measured with the proposed PEGs as dream analogs, learning, healing, and individuation can be facilitated in natural ways by amplifying cognitive-experiential dynamics. Most important, PEGs can be used as neurobiological research instruments to discover appropriate QED ethical patterns in a superconductive mediated reality.4 The paradigm shift into such a superconductive mediated reality is not presently being addressed in meaningful ways, but PEG research could clarify the trajectory of civilized moral evolution in timely ways. PEG research could provide hard science relative to fostering heroic citizenship in players with mediated biofeedback. Applied to content of the Media-sphere such biofeedback could teach 3 Neils Provos, a Ph.D. student in computer science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, decided to do his dissertation on steganography. Provos developed detection and cracking tools to analyze images for signs of steganography, such as overly large files and uneven bit mapping. 4 The term “superconductive” will be explained more fully throughout the proposal, but research such as that of Danah Zohar has established a hypothesis that what physicists understand as superconductivity exists neurobiologically at body temperatures. More recently, the research of Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose has provided strong evidence that consciousness, itself, originates at harmonized quantum levels in neural microtubules.

In quantum-mathematical fields of energy and information technology (ICTs) that are generated from a Monadic field as defined by Liebnitz, there must be correlations to archetypal and archetypal representational fields as described by Carl Jung. Such basic "energetic" dynamics in a dreamscape or the mediated dream of simulated reality must be correlated in some way to weather systems. In brief, is there evidence that such weather as Irma is generated--at least in part--by human thought and feeling?
Competition Law and regulation of misleading advertising are questions that are directly--and critically--relevant to the emergent evolution of civilization. It may be stipulated that the paradigm shift which the planet is experiencing is a shift into a holographic perception of reality--a unified field (or virtual reality) in which everything is connected by a matrix of "energy." This Field is a cognitive illusion, but it is an illusion that requires increasing science-based responsibility on the part of civilized collectives--not only for words and actions, but for thoughts and feelings, values, and even attitudes. Therefore, competitive Capitalism as presently understood might be considered an aberration of scientific Law, and the broad dissemination of lies in advertising manipulative at best. A book I edited deals with some of these issues:
I have come to equate coherent states--as measured by heart rate variance studied by the Institute of Heartmath--with "higher consciousness".
