Thought some interesting discussions could be generated around some of the Institute of Noetic Sciences Research activities. Ill post 6 topics on different threads from...
http://www.noetic.org/Ions/research/program_modules.asp

Im quite familiar with Noetic Sciences, have attended a conference of theirs down in Palm Springs which was EXCELLENT, and have a good friend who has served for many years on their Board of Directors. (The group was started by former astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, ScD, Apollo astronaut and the sixth man to walk on the moon, and author of Psychic Exploration and The Way of the Explorer).

How IONS describes themselves...

For 25 years, the Institute of Noetic Sciences has been at the forefront of research and education in consciousness and human potential. From the beginning we have pursued this inquiry through rigorous science.

We honor open-minded approaches and strive to bring discernment to our work. We are not a spiritual sect, political-action group, or single cause institute.

We are a nonprofit membership organization that both conducts and sponsors research into the workings and powers of the mind, including perceptions, beliefs, attention, intention, and intuition. We are bold enough to inquire about phenomena that don't fit into the conventional scientific model. We educate the public about the latest findings through our publications, conferences and website; and we support community building by providing ways for members and colleagues to share their experiences and ideas with one another through community groups, online discussion groups, our Pathfinding project, and other networking opportunities.

I had the chance to talk to Dr.Mitchell at one point regarding a photographic memory course he was a "sponsor" in relation to. Wide minded type, was the impression he left me with. I understand he went through some sort of transformative experience somewhere along the trip to Luna and back.

Tom,

That's what I heard too about Edgar Mitchell. Both Jeannine and I know someone who's served on the Noetics Board for several years, and we've both attended some of their functions.

Jeannine may know more. And I'll ask our friend what he knows.
