Addresses the psychological aspects of how and when human beings are able to utilize psi through promising models including models involving quantum mechanical approaches to cognition, and memory models. Such models of psi manifestation attempt to explain how extrasensory information enters the central nervous system or information processing center, and how the system deals with that information. In regards to psychokinesis, such models attempt to explain what manner of information processing is taking place, and what the requirements for the information to be transmitted into the environment are. Addresses the biological utilization of non-local communication, the reverse direction problem, the binding problem, the human brain and neuro-quantum interactions, and brain stimulation via circumcerebral magnetic fields. Addresses the question whether a quantum-like approach is actually more advantageous over classical approaches, and addresses quantum mechanical principles, properties, and features resulting in cognitive effects related to content sensitivity, association, the human lexicon, and psychological function in general. Addresses quantum-like mental entanglement, how this new quantum mechanical approach is shedding light on an array of anomalous experimental results composed over the greater portion of a century, pseudo-sensory models, memory models involving memory theory and associated phenomenology, receptive psi processes, memory and psi processes, the first sight model, psi requirements, and the part played by the default mode network.

Addresses a biophoton model in regards to ESP involving ultra weak biophoton (bio-light) emissions (light from within and emanating from human beings capable of cooperation and communication throughout the entire mind and body), biophotonic processes and effects, the measurement utilization for indicating cellular and overall health, emissions as a by-product of cellular metabolism and an overall regulating field, and the “master conductor” role of DNA as the most fundamental source of biophoton emissions capable of emitting a wide range of frequency-based communication at the quantum level internal and possibly external to the body. Addresses additive and subtractive extrasensory information, changes in direction of orientation, or intention, requirement of uncertainty, metaphorical and fragmentation issues, our extension beyond space-time, the bimodal nature of psi, psi-unconducive states (e.g. disinterest, distraction, anxiety, and conscious work), and psi-conducive states (e.g. uncertainty, confusion, and disorientation). Addresses predispositions to psychical experiences including intention, extraversion, motivation, creativity, innovation, and experiential skills.

There are several types of assignments associated with this program. All assignments must be successfully completed in one course before moving on to its following course. Some assessments are graded while others exist exclusively for the benefit of enriching the learning process (e.g. critical thinking).

• Reading Assignments – The first step in all courses is the reading assignment. There are 2 reading assignments per course. While this sounds like a simple enough task, it can be a tough one. These assignments take students through the program textbook concept by concept, chapter by chapter, course by course. These assignments will permit the student the ability to complete other course assignments and pass their exams. Therefore, these assignments are the most critical, and therefore, should be taken at the students own pace.
• Reflection Assignments – These assignments help students thoughtfully process their reading materials. It helps them critically assess and understand what they are reading and learning. Each answer should be at least 250 words, or 3 paragraphs. These questions are not graded. In addition, there is no time limit on these assignments while taking these assignments.
• Application Assignments – These assignments help students practically apply the information provided as a means to bridge abstract concepts in to the real world. These assignment will ask you to list several things. Please make these lists detailed, and answer the subsequent questions provided. Each answer should be at least 250 words, or 3 paragraphs. These questions are not graded. In addition, there is no time limit on these assignments while taking these assignments.
• Video Presentation Assignments – These assignments require the student to view video+audio presentations pertaining to program content developed to visually extend on textbook content. These presentations can include images and diagrammatical representations of parapsychological concepts. Presentations range from recommended viewing to required program assignments (i.e. viewing is required to in order to complete other assignments).
• Terminology Matching – These assignments require the student to match up terminology utilized in certain chapters with its respective definition. These assignments must be successfully completed in one course before moving on to its following course (i.e. must have a score of 100%). There is no limit to how many times you can attempt this assignment, and the students highest grade will be the recorded grade. In addition, there is no time limit on these assignments while taking these assignments.
• Exams – There are 9 exams in total, and 1 attempt at each exam allowed. The questions in the textbook are the questions on exams. A student must achieve a score of 70% or higher on each exam to compete this program and receive their Professional Certificate. Upon program completion, the student will receive their personalized professional certificate via the email address attached to their student account. Personalization can take up to 48 hrs.
