Rising Star
SWIM had heard of this scientific study on ESP and how when the galactic center is almost directly above in the sky, people are 4 times more psychic. This makes sense with what is happening in 2012. According to the US Naval Observatory our Sun will be eclipsing with the center of the galaxy on December 21st 2012 at 11:11 GMT. This is obviously the reason why the Mayan's chose this date for the end of the major cycle of their calendar. There is obviously much speculation as to what this date means to humanity. SWIM thinks that this will be a positive transformation of the Earth and humanity rather than gloom and doom but SWIM will try to not get too much into what this date means in this thread, but he thinks this is relevant in how local sidereal time correlates to how psychic a person is at a given time of day.
Anyway he thought he would try to take a hit the size of what he normally smokes of DMT freebase at the time that LST predicts that someone would be more psychic (13:30 LST). WOW!! Is all he's got to say. SWIM has probably smoked close to 30 hits in his life almost all breakthroughs, many dealings with the elves and such, but the two times he has tried this were definitely the most intense and overwhelmingly positive. The woman that he smoked with the second time also said that this was her most intense experience. This was only her 4th hit but she has brokenthrough every single time.
SWIM is curious as to what others experiences will be like if they try this. Here is a link to a Local Sidereal Time Calculator http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/sidereal.html It varies by your location and also changes by 4 minutes every day.
If you try this, please post your experience in here. If you are skeptical, why not just say what the hell? and try it. Post your experience even if you did not notice a difference.
Here is some more info on LST.
E.S.P. and L.S.T.
"At first they blamed pigeons. Birds had been spotted flying around the horn shaped antenna at Bell Laboratories. There had even been remnants of a nest. The house-sized antenna, designed to received signals from Telstar and other satellites in the 60's, was reinspected and swept clean, but the problem continued. Still, a loud static sound emitted from laboratory receivers at very high frequencies.
The static came and went, loud, and then soft. It was present no matter which direction or angle the antenna was positioned. Gradually, engineers noted that it occurred in a cycle that repeated every 23 hours and 56 minutes- just short of a solar day. This cycle of time has since been called LST (Local Sidereal Time).
LST is a measure of the passing overhead of the center of our galaxy, The Milky Way. What Bell Laboratory engineers had accidentally picked up were the radio emissions of billions of suns in our Galaxy along with the remnants of energy from the proposed "Big Bang," which started creation. In LST, high noon would occur when Sagittarius, the galactic center, sits directly over the observer. LST happens independent of the Sun's position.
So what's this got to do with (ESP) Extra Sensory Perception? The Cognitive Sciences Laboratory in Palo Alto, California, has discovered a cycle during which ESP practitioners are "more" and "less" accurate in their abilities to "see" or predict events. When scientists examined the accuracy of thousands of ESP predictions, along with documented times these anomalous cognitions took place, they were stunned. They repeated their studies. The precognative cycle coincided with LST.
Even more surprising, the peak of efficiency was not, as you might expect, at galactic high noon. Peak efficiency was repeatedly at 13:30 LST. This would place the center of our Galaxy closer to the horizon, instead of overhead.
Theorists have proposed "warped space" and the possibility of some optimum angle of entry as reasons for the observed effect being "off center." Others have suggested that we look at the area in the Milky Way which corresponds to this phenomenon for the solution. Still others have been content to trivialize the study, saying, in effect, "So what"?
If psychic researchers are correct, synchronizing ESP attempts with 13:30 Local Sidereal Time could lead to more efficient uses of psychic talents . It also may give us some thought material about the possibilities out there.
Despite the lack of an explanation for this phenomenon, it is none the less real science, based on solid statistics and methodology, and has been found worthy of publication.

A Possible Discovery Regarding ESP
Stanford, CA, June 23, 1997 --- In 1931 Karl Jansky of the Bell Telephone Laboratories was carrying out experiments with an advanced radio antenna to track down all the noise sources causing problems for the newly developed shortwave radiotelephone systems. One perplexing source of radio static could not be explained... until Jansky made a key observation. The static would steadily peak four minutes earlier day after day. The unknown radio source was keeping perfect time not with some daily occurrence on Earth, but with the passage of the stars overhead, reaching a maximum every 23 hours 56 minutes, once every sidereal day. What Jansky was measuring turned out not to be coming from the Earth; it was radio emission from the center of the Milky Way galaxy passing overhead every 23 hours and 56 minutes. His observation of a precise correlation between sidereal (star) time and his mystery source gave birth to radio astronomy.
History may be repeating itself, but with a strange twist. A mysterious correlation has now been found between the "effect size" in 2500 laboratory ESP experiments and sidereal time. If it holds up, this could turn into a key discovery in the controversial field of claimed human psychic abilities. James Spottiswoode of the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory in Palo Alto, California reports on this in the current issue (Vol. 11, No.2) of the Journal of Scientific Exploration, a scholarly journal which publishes scientific investigations of topics that lie on the borders of mainstream science.
The existence of some limited form of ESP is close to being scientifically respectable. In "The Demon Haunted World" the late Carl Sagan, a prominent skeptic, listed several ESP claims which, in his view, deserved further study.
Among researchers a more pedantic name for ESP is anomalous cognition. Thousands of laboratory experiments have measured "something" but whatever it is, anomalous cognition apparently does not decrease with distance like a respectable force should, such as gravity. And some anomalous cognition even appears to be precognitive, picking up information about the future. If polls are to be believed, tens of millions of people have experienced a significant precognition event at least once. Is there any variable that influences anomalous cognition?
Spottiswoode, a trained physicist, took an empirical approach. Rather than worry about what the experiments were measuring, he merely examined whether there was any significant correlation. He gathered data on 1468 published trials, and to his surprise found that, whatever the effect being measured was, it more than tripled when the local sidereal time (LST) was near 13:30.
Could it be a fluke? Spottiswoode went back to the drawing board: he tested his finding by collecting another 1015 trials from different experiments, i. e. a validation set. The peak of his validation set occurred at the same time. Putting the two together, the data seem to tell us that anomalous cognition is more than four times as effective in a rather narrow window that rises and falls near 13:30 LST.
If there happens to be a coincidental correlation between the Dow Jones index and the rainfall in Calcutta no scientist is going to take this seriously. But, as with Jansky's discovery, a correlation involving sidereal time is not so easily dismissed.
"If I had found a 24-hour correlation, I would chalk it up to circadian rhythms or office hours," says Spottiswoode. "But I've checked my data carefully and those kinds of effects could not mimic the sidereal correlation I found. Don't ask me what it is, but it's real."
Prof. Peter Sturrock, a plasma physicist at Stanford University and president of the Society for Scientific Exploration which publishes the Journal is taking a cautious position saying, "I am going to reserve judgement about this claim. In my work on similar problems, I have found that patterns can either fade away or change into something else. What looks like a sidereal-time effect may be due to something quite different, perhaps involving multiple periodicities. But Spottiswoode has made an opening gambit, and it is now up to his colleagues and critics to respond."
"This article makes such a potentially significant claim that we had it refereed by two experienced professors, a statistician and an astronomer," reports the editor of the Journal of Scientific Exploration, Dr. Bernhard Haisch, who is himself an astronomer. "Even though they have no idea how this could be real they found the study worthy of publication."
The Cognitive Science Laboratory in Palo Alto, California is a descendant of the 24-year long government-sponsored remote viewing program that ended in 1995. (For five reports on that formerly classified program, see Vol. 10, No. 1 of the Journal of Scientific Exploration.)
The Journal of Scientific Exploration is the quarterly peer-reviewed research journal of the Society for Scientific Exploration, an interdisciplinary organization of scholars formed to support unbiased investigation of claimed anomalous phenomena.
