"Spiritual FPs are often associated with Neurological Conditions"
"FP in Psychosis may be linked to an underlying identity, a prior perpetrator of abuse or neglect"
"Feeling the presence of a dead spouse.. may serve as a mechanism to manage grief"

"FP may protect the self from isolation.. mitigate the sense of loneliness"

"Recently, FP has been reported upon interacting with "Chatbots" or accessing archival memories of the dead stored in social media accounts
These experiences bring comfort as "continuing bonds"

Cited in this study was this research specifically about using Chatbots to communicate with the dead
They argue that it's inevitable, & the benefits outweigh the cons

About "resurrecting" the dead using a chatbot
The person they resurrect is named Ash

The popular AI Chatbot App Replika was originally created for this purpose

"Luhrmann demonstrated that religious experiences were Tulpa like"
"Tulpa and Human may turn out to be synonymous"

In 2010 EPFL & Harvard published a paper about children's brains between the ages of 2- 18
In 2018 Bertarelli Foundation gave $6 Million to Harvard to build on their previous success

When I saw the Harvard involvement with these topics, I thought I should check if there's any Epstein connections
Jeffrey Epstein reportedly funded research to identify a mysterious Particle that might trigger the feeling that someone is watching you

One of Bertarelli Foundation's areas of focus is marine conservation

Isabel Maxwells 3rd & most recent husband was Al Seckel
Seckel was an author who wrote about Sensory Illusions
& has TED Talks & WEF speeches on this

"In 1984, Seckel started the Southern California Skeptics & became a spokesperson for science & its relationship to the Paranormal
.. monthly lectures that explained alleged paranormal phenomena such as extra sensory perception and fire walking"

Al Seckel hosted a conference with Jeffrey Epstein at his Little Saint James Island
Topics included AI, Neuroscience, Physics, Tech, etc

Here is an interview between Epstein & Seckel on illusions & how our beliefs distort perception
They talk about how these distortions cause some people to believe in divine intervention

The interview finishes with Epstein asking "Do you believe in any Supernatural entity or God"
Seckel's response "No, never ever have, but then He or She doesn't believe in me either"

Here are a couple slides from Seckels TED talk
He includes Conspiracy Theories as a core belief that leads people to twist inconsistencies/falsehoods in a supportive way

He shows various illusions & how our senses can mislead us
This research began when I saw a CERN Podcast episode about "Mind-Manipulation Technologies"
I looked at the guests, found Blanke, & piece by piece this puzzle started to come together
