When you are sound asleep and then woken by the Hum, it is intriguing that the mind will suddenly click on and start working without your guidance, and though you will want to stop it and return to sleep, any actions to overcome are futile unless the Hum itself reduces or stops. Even partially or completely deaf people suffer from the Hum, which suggests a different experience unrelated to sound and so maybe it is vibration. This raised the question, if the Hum were just a sound, how would it make the mind start working? Sleeping through an overhead jet or cars passing by is easier than through the Hum.

Often, just before fully waking, when the Hum is at lower levels of discomfort, an intriguing dreaming state sometimes occurs, often early in the morning. These are not nightmares, but rather, they are like visions of external events. They may be so vivid and of such intrigue that a good novel could be written about these intriguing and sometimes inspiring events. Extraordinarily, these experiences led me to reconsider that there was knowledge external to the individual that was available to those subjected to infrasound vibration, as these dreams had no basis in the present day.

Emanuel Kant's writing in 'Critique of Pure Reason' portrays ideas as being external to the individual in a vast societal mind in space or out there somewhere. Many people have struggled with his concept, as we did decades ago, but it was finally grasped some 18 months after reading it. We concluded that he was mistaken! While we thought his ideas were incorrect, there remained a nagging realisation that many reports in books and articles concerning non-terrestrial out-of-body experiences, such as ESP, visions and prophecy, which did not fit with the individual being the originator of all their ideas. With our new understanding of the Hum, we had to reassess this concept, as Kant's concept seemed to have an accuracy that was not expected.

The tool to explore this old yet very real realm of human experience is related to the brain and infrasound or vibration. To explain this more clearly, it is seen that if this Hum sound can, at certain vibration levels, affect the brain and enable it to reach beyond its normal self, then by inference, by recreating, and projecting these frequencies, we could explore the Hum's effect and the outcomes when applied on the brain. The brain, therefore, would be used like an antenna to receive concepts or visions from an external source. After reading Tennyson, we can propose that he lived in a high Hum area and, over the years ,learned to harness it to see into the future.

At the time of writing, there is very little information about the brain compared to our other organs. We know the physical brain has a variable thickness structure with irregular intrusions, flaps, undulations and crevices. When you consider that in physics, the thickness and lengths of certain materials make them susceptible to different frequency vibrations. The brain has the structural basis to be affected by various vibrations. By applying these vibrations, and maybe with an extra blood flow to certain areas, would assist these undulations to be tuned to the right frequency and vibrate in sympathy. When tuned, a person could then use this as the possible entry to a new experience that is not drug-induced. Hence, Kant, Tennyson and others may have been able to do this due to infrasound. Therefore, the brain is probably more than the guiding structure to the body but has much larger abilities.

Religion has spoken of prophecy as a guide to the believer to avoid trouble and repent, and that through God's love and help, the believer will progress towards a longer, safer life. I do not want to critique this belief system too much, as it has been my experience that many very religious people are led astray by their beliefs when they are not based on knowledge or experience. I am convinced that to be Godlike is to be knowledgeable and searching for understanding, whereas Evilness has its roots in ignorance. We think we should use our abilities and brains rather than just hope or believe. Making a God bigger and closer prevents increasing knowledge and wisdom, though it may be comforting. In the following small study of the brain, I am driven to remove the religious aspect from the study of non-terrestrial, non-worldly experiences and concentrate on cause and effect.

The brain may be exceptionally complex and probably reaches into concepts about time, space, and mental communications. Studying these new concepts requires internal strength and openness, not led astray by religiousness of any form. To exclude them, however, may be difficult as spiritual concepts have been integral to society for many thousands of years. We note that many of the current ideas in physics are often based on religion, especially when they go past everyday experiences. Historically, spirituality has been hard to fit into a science, but there may now be an opportunity with infrasound to remove the God aspect.

The problem is that religion is alive and well in the world and is unlikely to go away, and it has subtle effects on this kind of research. When someone in distress says, "God told me to do this", we might look at them as being quite deranged. This doesn't mean they are insane; rather what they are saying doesn't form part of our philosophy and experiences. We have no evidence to say the voices they heard were not real. Likewise, being able to see into the past or future may seem the same. The problem to solve about what the person is saying is whether the images or statements are being passed from an external source or whether they have access to the real future dimension of the time continuum. If the person doesn't magically disappear when looking into the future, it should also mean they are using another means to see that future. Currently, the only concept we have is that they are using what is termed the soul, or the everlasting essence of themselves, to move into their future self, to see through those eyes at a future that falls outside their current experience. They may see things through their eyes as a child or an adult or at fleeting moments or at things they don't understand. Any study of Time, must include such things to be as broad as possible. I hope you see the difficulty.

I once read a fascinating, well-written book about a psychologist trying to assist patients in understanding themselves and their terrifying dreams as adults. From memory, its name was The Blomfield Tapes, written in the early 1900's. The book recorded his patient's words when they regressed to a previous life, to a life that was causing issues and overlapping with their present one. One English housewife spoke fluent French in the regression, as she described the storming of the Bastille, where she was murdered, as she was at that time royalty. She couldn't speak French and couldn't understand what was being said on the tape. The writings in the book were so vivid that you could feel the people's pain, yet the book was a work of non-fiction, a verbatim record. Today, the internet has several doctors helping in such a way. We raise this as an example of the soul being continuous over Time, and hence, how Tennyson could spend time in the future, or we should say in his future self.

Religion has monopolised future time for centuries for its benefit, but maybe we could stop that. The reader would have noted that dreams were added in the webpage, 'Listening' to the Hum for the hearers. This was not an oversight, as it is related to studying the brain. It will be valuable to use the tools supplied by a secular society and carefully study the effects of infrasound. However, care must be taken when projecting infrasound as it is noted to be dangerous to the individual at high energy levels and could cause health issues. Some frequencies may be worse than others. To ignore this research direction would be wrong because there is something to infrasound and Time that cannot quite be explained.

In summary, we have raised the concept of past and future lives through the continuation of the soul through Time and how the Hum may influence these experiences. Also, Time may not be as fluid and constantly flowing as expected. This webpage will be the most difficult to research, but time will tell.
