DARPA human intelligence research digs deep

(This article originally appeared on the Joint Recon Study Group site.)

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will fund a "physical intelligence (PI)" study into the chemical, electrical and thermal aspects of human intelligence, according to recently published reports.

Among the stated goals of the research is the understanding of mathematical, electronic, thermodynamic and other factors involved in human intelligence to design technology with similar intelligence.

The DARPA-funded research envisions applying current knowledge from many fields, including biological and engineering elements, to further understand and apply the complex aspects of intelligence.

At first glance, the DARPA project seems to address a primary point of discussion about the nature of human intelligence and human consciousness: Is human awareness simply the sum of complex chemical, electrical and related biological interactions or are there other, less understood factors in play?

INTELLIGENCE INFLUENCES

These questions are vigorously debated by professionals and average people. Points raised in the discussions often focus on the metaphysical or transcendent factors that many people feel are part of human consciousness.

Are humans really simply the sum of the biological, chemical and electrical activities in our brains, neurological system and bodies? Or, is there something more?

And what are the advantages or dangers, if any, of interpreting or creating intelligence based on what some people might feel is an incomplete or even inaccurate understanding of constructive intelligence?

According to some researchers, significant and convincing indicators point to transcendent factors of human consciousness. These views might include several aspects of consciousness that could be said to transcend the biological, thermal, chemical and electrical activities of the brain, neurological system and body.

Examples that might be put forth include various physical environmental factors that could affect consciousness and intelligence. These elements could range from geomagnetic influences in our environment to human social dynamics to something like "local sidereal time."

Local sidereal time (LST) is the interaction between the center of our Milky Way galaxy and the horizon of the Earth with a person's location on Earth.

According to U.S. government, military and intelligence services' research in Project STARGATE, human perception and awareness significantly improves in relation to LST – when the center of the Milky Way galaxy is above Earth's horizon.

Some researchers even wonder if we also have perspectives or intelligence related to some aspects of our DNA and genetic material.

Many people seem to agree with famed psychiatrist Carl Jung who proposed that human beings are connected to a larger group consciousness that is part of our existence and awareness.

Additional views of human consciousness include even more fundamental aspects. These focus on the idea of direct connections between human awareness and a higher force or power that includes a larger intelligence, greater information and a moral and ethical position.

WHOLENESS AND TRANSCENDENCE

It seems clear that learning more about the chemical, electrical and "physical intelligence" aspects of human awareness are crucial, not only for engineering research but for application in education, health care, behavioral health, sociological and other fields.

There is probably much to be learned from the structure and functioning of our brains, neurological systems, body chemistry and other areas that DARPA's physical intelligence research may reveal.

Additional and complementary elements relating to overlooked, undiscovered, unconventional or transcendent influences on human intelligence might also be helpful in such research.

In this regard, the concepts of "transcendent warfare" might be useful as put forward by a Navy SEAL officer in a widely-read academic paper titled "Unconventional Human Intelligence Support." The paper reviews interesting U.S. military and intelligence research into human perception and awareness.

We might view some aspects of this research as seamless and significant influences on human physical intelligence. There may be deeper or higher quantum energies and fields in play.

Can we also conduct effective research into these possible influences?

When considering what research approaches to take, another famous psychiatrist named Fritz Perls probably has words of wisdom for us. Perls put forth the idea of a gestalt, a word meaning form or shape and often used in reference to the larger whole or wholeness.

The whole picture of human consciousness and intelligence is something that many people find quite fascinating, and many believe that it extends into areas we can barely comprehend.

However, continual well-directed research may make valuable discoveries that can provide significant breakthroughs.
