1. The explanation for "miracles"

It would like to finally put an end to Vanga's global prophecies. There were no prophecies! The impure writers ascribe non-existent prophecies to her, and she can no longer refute the crooks. She was engaged, if I may say so, in a particular person, usually a sick person or a family member who had an accident. "Entrepreneurial" greyhounds make predictions, prophecies made by supposedly famous people: Vanga, Messing, Nostradamus, etc., often evidence that these prophecies were said by them, before the predicted events, no1. Various "healings" in large numbers under the influence of hypnosis we have repeatedly observed, for example, at sessions of Kashpirovsky or Chumak. As for surviving people with fatal diagnoses, medical errors are also quite possible. It is known that all "miracles" arise when people are ready to believe in them. At the same time, they simply do not try to explain what happened by natural causes, but immediately take for the manifestation of supernatural. Critical verification of such phenomena is extremely difficult, because various "mystical" manipulations are shrouded in a veil of secrecy, only the "chosen" are allowed to them, etc.

Originally the explanation was the following: with the dead person, his brain cannot communicate, because his brain is not functioning, but at the unconscious level, the scanning brain extracts information about the dead from his brain, the consciousness of other people who, one way or another, know him. This can also explain the phenomenon of the Bulgarian fortune teller Vanga, her brain thanks to the blindness received during the tornado at the age of 13, her predisposition from childhood to guessing (but she began to prophesy at the age of 28, as the ancients correctly noted: after that – does not mean that because of this!), changed state of consciousness because of the stress experienced, learned to scan people's brains and get the necessary detailed information. This happened to her, in fact, in her waking state. Now there is more complete information about the explanation of the phenomenon of Vanga.

Who's profiting from Vanga's name? 13 March 2008, "Komsomolskaya Pravda". happen if she has contact with your brain. Through some kind of radiation… But there are strange things. She reports dead people. The visitor knows nothing about it, it's not in his subconscious either. So it's a matter of research, not the notorious "presumption of guilt"1.

If in the first case, Vanga receives information directly from the brain of an incoming person, then in the second case, the brain of an incoming person is an intermediate link that connects Vanga's perceptive brain with biological impulses emitted by the brain of other people, containing information about this or that event, about a common relative or any acquaintance who had a significant impact on the lives of these people.

In a simplified sense, we can say that the human (as well as animal) brain in the altered state receives the necessary information at the subconscious level of biological impulses from other people (it can be compared with a certain server of the information vacuum field).

These are body interactions without visible contact, which can be explained by the interaction of various physical fields. Each field corresponds to its own electric, magnetic and similar force, in the aggregate they form the so-called biofield, although the biological fields in nature does not exist, but the term such has taken root. Physical fields include: electric and magnetic fields, infrared radiation from the body surface, radiothermal radiation of internal organs, optical chemiluminescence, acoustic signals, chemical channel, as the bioobject in the process of life creates its own gas, aerosol-ion atmosphere, which contains a lot of valuable information about the functioning of the body. There are other fields in the bioobject, such as X-rays or hard gamma rays, although they are not as informative. For example, hard gamma rays associated with natural radioactivity, which change over a period of tens of years, can in no way be modulated by the body's physiological processes. Vanga could perceive the necessary data at the subconscious level, receiving information from a person close to her. She received the necessary data on voice, timbre, human speech, knowledge of psychology, temperament, etc. Sick people, including Vanga herself (as she was blind), under psycho-emotional tension are subject to more activity of the non-specific activating brain system (NACM), which is characterized by the following properties3:

Psychology. Edited by A.A. Krylov. Moscow, 1999, p.44.

1) It receives very rich afferentiation from other parts of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and especially from sensory systems (analysers). This afferentiation has a stimulating (excitatory) effect on this system.

2. Not specific active system of a brain sends efferent signals to all lower, higher and same level brain structures.

3. These efferent pathways transmit both activating (increasing excitability) and inhibitory (decreasing excitability) signals of the corresponding brain structures.

4. Since not specific active system of a brain has a lot of adrenergic synapses (i.e. where the mediator is noradrenaline), its activity increases dramatically with the release into the blood of brain hormones of catechalamines adrenal glands, which in its chemical structure and properties are almost identical to the above-mentioned mediator.

5. As a consequence of the described properties, the not specific active system of a brain activity increases significantly under psycho-emotional tension, even more under psychoemotional stress, in turn, contributing to their strengthening.

Using a piece of sugar by Vanga's clients was necessary for her to obtain with the help of skin sensitivity data on temperature and humidity of a piece of sugar about a person's psycho-emotional state and his ideomotor. Although Vanga was blind, she had strongly developed tactile functions.

It is known that scientists have learned to read the thoughts of paralyzed people. They have tried on volunteers the technology of brain scanning, which allows

to determine with high probability the preferences of a person. A test sample of the

device evaluates the activity of different parts of the brain using spectroscopy.

Activation of one or another part of the cortex leads to a change in the concentration

of oxygen in the blood entering it, which, in turn, affects the absorption of

electromagnetic radiation by brain tissue, so it is possible to determine the human

response to certain external stimuli due to changes in this indicator. Vanga also

without any devices, at the subconscious level, had unique abilities to scan the brain.

Thoughts can materialize. There is a so-called ideomotor act (from Greek idea – idea

and lat. motor – driving) – a term used in empirical psychology to refer to motor

reactions that automatically arise after the idea of movement. The transition of motor

notions into corresponding muscle movements was experimentally studied by I.M.

Sechenov, for this purpose he designed a special recording device. I.P. Pavlov also

paid much attention to ideomotorics. Hypnotisers and psychics use Ideomotorism in

their sessions. For example, Messing took the hypnotized by hand, Vanga suggested

holding a piece of sugar.

There are still no sufficiently substantiated scientific theories that could explain

such incomprehensible phenomena as clairvoyance, telekinesis, telepathy,

communication with the souls of the dead, psychic, "real dreams", parapsychology,

prediction, etc. The list of mysterious, inexplicable, secret, paranormal is extremely

long. In essence, the only reason to explain these phenomena is mysteriousness and

mysteriousness, which attracts all sorts of passers-by and charlatans. The main

difficulty lies in the fact that in these areas, on the one hand, there is a mass of

pseudoscientific data advertised by mystics and psychics of different suits, on the

other hand, these phenomena really exist, but have not received a truly scientific

explanation.

Reproducibility of unusual phenomena is explained by references to the originality of these phenomena, it is said that they arise in special states of the mind, they are not so easy to cause, they are extremely unstable, not subject to scientific understanding and lie outside the human understanding.

The world of man and animals with their astounding psyche and brain is extremely diverse and never ceases to amaze us with its riddles, the main feature of these phenomena is that any attempts to find any meaningful explanation lead to results that hardly fit into the framework of modern knowledge.

The modern theory of the Maeon Universe ("maeon" – in Greek, the emptiness in which everything is enclosed) states – the surrounding humanity and all living world space – quantum vacuum has an informational nature4. It is represented as a certain repository of knowledge, skills, information. This theory raises questions: Where can such information be stored? Why does it spread there? In what form does it exist?

Shouldn't we look for the cause of unexplained phenomena in the brain of living creatures and in particular humans, knowing that the anatomical, physiological and functional structure of the brain allows to explain all these phenomena. "The brain is the central department of the nervous system of animals and humans, which consists of nervous tissue: gray matter (accumulation mainly of nerve cells) and white matter (accumulation mainly of nerve fibers). In vertebrates, the distinction is to us the letter from infinity, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, professor of Moscow

State University, academician of RAEN V.Pimenov, newspaper "Trud", 25.03.2006. made between the brain and spinal cord. In invertebrates, the brain is called the accumulation of nerve cells at the front end of the body.

"The human brain represents 1011 connected and interacting neurons. The following main parts are distinguished in the neuron: body, branches and ends. The body of the neuron is an accumulation of cellular plasma (cytoplasm), which houses the nucleus – the carrier of genetic information and mitochondria – universal energy generators needed to support the cell's activity. The surface of the nucleus is covered by a shell, which is called a membrane. The membrane is the structure in which complex bioelectrical processes take place, ensuring the exchange of the nerve cell with the environment.

The brain works continuously, only in different states it functions differently.

When the state of consciousness is changed (sleep, hibernation, trance, hypnosis, meditation, intoxication, hallucination, delirium, madness, trauma, etc.) the brain continues to work and goes to a different level. It is known that the reflection of brain activity is its bioelectric activity or electroencephalogram.

In modern conditions wide application in experimental and clinical-diagnostic practice has received use of a method of electroencephalography (EEG): "As applied to everyday conditions EEG represents simple enough procedure which does not cause any troubles to the investigated person. A standard number of electrodes are applied to the surface of the head with the help of which potentials from the corresponding areas of the projection of the cortex are recorded and after the preliminary amplification they are recorded in one way or another – on paper, film, tape recorder. Potentials recorded in this way have a value from very weak to 150-

200 мV in a very wide range of frequencies. For the analysis the following frequencies (rhythms) are used more often than others: delta rhythm – 2-4 col/sec, theta rhythm – 4-8, alpha rhythm – 8-13, beta rhythms – 13-30 col/sec. Other indicators are also used in special conditions. The nature of EEG-activity reflects the interaction of different parts of the brain, but expressed in the activity of the cortex of large hemispheres, in the interaction and dynamics of excitation and inhibition processes on its surface.

"At low brain activity, large groups of nerve cells discharge simultaneously, and this synchrony is displayed in the EEG as low frequency waves and large amplitude as "slow waves": 1) alpha waves with frequencies ranging from 8 to 12 cycles per second (8-12 Hz), they are characteristic of a relaxed body when a person sits comfortably with the Gauls closed; 2) theta waves with frequencies ranging from 4 to 7 Hz, they appear in the first stage of sleep; 3) delta waves (0.5-3 Hz), which are recorded during deep sleep. During brain activity, each participating nerve cell discharges with its own specific function in its own rhythm; as a result, brain activity becomes asynchronous and is recorded as fast waves of high frequency and small amplitude – "beta waves" (13-26 Hz); the amplitude of beta waves decreases as brain activity increases. Beta waves are recorded during waking, active mental and physical activity, and, oddly enough, during "fast sleep".
