Editor’s Foreword
The first article of this issue, by Luisa Fernandes,
provides an interesting theory of the process involved in the conscious
acceleration of personal and group evolution. This is accomplished
by means of an analogical study of the evolutionary process and
the biological enzymatic catalysis.
The article from Carlos Lucena draws attention to important aspects
related to the undesirable use of ‘consciential scaffolding’
by intraphysical consciousnesses. He develops this theme by considering
the potential improper use of the ideas of conscientiology (the
very science that points out the spuriousness of using consciential
scaffolding) by some individuals to nonetheless, create their own
elaborate consciential scaffolding.
Nanci Trivellato and Wagner Alegretti’s paper presents us
with their hypotheses and theories to further understand the condition
of the evolutionary duo relationship. Some preliminary results of
their studies on the practicalities of living this relationship
on a daily basis, based on case studies of many actual evolutionary
duos, including their own, are also presented.
Perfectionism, a topic that is the object of study of many different
fields of research is addressed in the article by Maria Timm Hoblik,
published in this issue in Spanish. This article offers an expanded
perspective on perfectionism and also candidly details Hoblik’s
own experiences associated with this condition.
In every issue of the Journal, at least one contribution is published
in Spanish in order to encourage intercultural exchange of ideas,
polyglotism, and universalism. In line with this policy, the glossary
of conscientiology is also published here in Spanish to facilitate
scientific debate and the submission of manuscripts from Spanish-speaking
researchers and readers.

Examining the Relationship between Evolutionary
Catalysis and Biological Model of Enzymatic Catalysis
Luisa Fernandes
ABSTRACT: The article presents one of the analysis
techniques applied in this research – the use of a logical
analogy – in order to understand the processes through which
one can lucidly propel and accelerate personal evolution and, in
turn, group evolution. It systematizes information derived from
the comparison of a model of catalysis, which exists and sustains
physical life, the biological model of organic catalysts, with the
evolutionary catalysis as proposed by the consciential paradigm.
The main purpose of this article, through its comparative hypotheses,
is to instigate reflection and establish association of ideas, allowing
thus an expansion of the mentalsoma‘s scope of action, as
the major evolutionary catalyst of the consciousness and as a tool
to amplify lucidity.
SUMARIO: Este artículo presenta una de
las técnicas de análisis empleadas en esta investigación
-el recurso de una analogía lógica- buscando el entendimiento
de los procesos por los cuales se puede impulsar y acelerar lúcidamente
la evolución individual y, en cadena, la grupal. El artículo
sistematiza informaciones sobre la comparación entre el modelo
de catálisis que existe en la vida física, permitiéndola
– el modelo biológico de los catalizadores orgánicos
– y la catálisis evolutiva según el paradigma
conciencial. El objetivo principal de este artículo, es el
de permitir a través de la hipótesis comparativa sugerida,
posibilitar un espacio de reflexión y la asociación
de ideas, posibilitando el aumento del substrato de actuación
del mentalsoma como principal catalizador evolutivo de la conciencia
y que funcione como herramienta de ampliación de la lucidez.
RESUMO: Este artigo apresenta uma das técnicas
de análise empregues nessa pesquisa, o recurso a uma analogia
lógica, na procura do entendimento dos processos através
dos quais se pode impulsionar e acelerar lucidamente a evolução
individual e em consequência, a grupal. Sistematiza informações
da comparação estabelecida entre um modelo de catálise
existente na vida física e que a permite - modelo biológico
dos catalisadores orgânicos - com a catálise evolutiva,
seguindo o paradigma consciencial. O objectivo principal do artigo
é permitir que através das hipóteses comparativas
levantadas, haja um espaço para reflexão e estabelecimento
de associações de ideias, possibilitando o aumento
do substrato de actuação do mentalsoma como principal
catalisador evolutivo da consciência e funcione, ele próprio,
como ferramenta de ampliação da lucidez.

The Subtlety of Consciential Scaffolding
Carlos Alberto Santos de Lucena
ABSTRACT: This article examines the use of Conscientiology as ‘consciential
scaffolding’ by the intraphysical consciousness. According
to Conscientiology, adoption of a permanently analytical stance
is one method of avoiding such an inconvenience.
SUMARIO: En este artículo se aborda la
posibilidad de la utilización de la Concienciología
como andamio conciencial por la conciencia intrafísica. La
postura crítica constante delante de las ideas de la Concienciología,
es una de las formas de evitarlo.
RESUMO: Aborda-se neste artigo a possível
utilização, pela consciência intrafísica,
da Conscienciologia como andaime consciencial. A postura crítica
constante, perante as idéias da Conscienciologia, é
uma das formas de evitar-se tal fato.

Dynamics of the Evolutionary Duo
Nanci Trivellato & Wagner Alegretti
ABSTRACT: This paper will be of particular interest to those who
already participate or intend to participate in an ‘evolutionary
duo’ or who are interested in studying the concept, as it
cites the practical basis for a relationship in the evolutionary
duo condition, according to the personal experience of the authors
and their observations of many other evolutionary duos worldwide.
The ‘evolutionary duo’ is a concept that refers to a
couple that stays together out of mutual love and respect and because
their existential programs are mutually supportive, having the same
objectives and main methods of execution. Being together, therefore,
optimizes the work of each in a synergistic fashion. The partners
of this couple, who are married or living together in intimacy,
have already participated in an intimate relationship together in
many previous lives.
SUMARIO: Este trabajo será de un interés
particular para aquellos que ya participan o que tienen la intención
de participar de una ‘pareja evolutiva’, o que están
interesados en estudiar el concepto – ya que cita las bases
prácticas para la constitución de una relación
en condición de pareja evolutiva, de acuerdo con las experiencias
personales de los autores y sus observaciones de muchos de las parejas
evolutivas en todo el mundo. El concepto de pareja evolutiva es
un concepto que se refiere a la pareja que se mantiene junta por
amor y respeto mutuo y porque los programas existenciales de ellos
se apoyan mutuamente, ya que tienen los mismos objetivos y los principales
métodos de realización. Por esta razón, el
estar juntos optimiza el trabajo de cada uno en sinergia. Los compañeros
de esta pareja, que están casados o viviendo juntos íntimamente,
ya han compartido una relación íntima juntos en muchas
vidas pasadas.
RESUMO: Este artigo menciona as bases práticas
para a constituição de uma relação segundo
os parâmetros de ‘dupla evolutiva’ e será,
portanto, de interesse àqueles que já fazem parte
de uma dupla evolutiva, que desejem constituir uma relação
segundo estes princípios, ou que desejem estudar este conceito.
A informação aqui apresentada é resultado da
experiência dos autores, bem como de observações
e estudos dos mesmos sobre muitas duplas evolutivas existentes em
várias partes do mundo. ‘Dupla evolutiva’ é
um conceito que se refere a um casal que está [e se mantém]
junto por amor e respeito mútuo e porque suas programações
existenciais são consoantes, compartilhando os mesmos objetivos
e tarefas a serem executadas. Sendo assim, a vida conjunta otimiza,
de uma forma sinergética, o trabalho de cada um dos parceiros
da dupla evolutiva. Na dupla evolutiva, o casal vive em condições
de intimidade e seus parceiros já se relacionaram intimamente
em muitas vidas passadas.

and instructing projectiology and conscientiology since 1985. Mr.
Alegretti is the author of the book Retrocognitions: Recalling Past
Live.
Together Trivellato and Alegretti
conceived and are conducting a survey aimed at analysis of the variety
and frequency of out-of-body experiences of the populace (with a
sample of over 7,000 participants). Preliminary results of this
survey were presented at the International Forum for Consciousness
Research, in Barcelona, Spain, in 1999. At the 3rd International
Congress of Projectiology and Conscientiology, in New York in May
2002, they also presented a preliminary analysis of their experimental
field research that focuses on investigating the paraperceptions
during out-of-body experiences and remote viewings.
Auto-Investigación del Perfeccionismo
Maria Timm Hoblik
SUMARIO: El Perfeccionismo es considerado un trazo-débil
que se manifiesta consciente o inconscientemente en gran parte de
la humanidad. Tiene muchas variables y la mayoría de las
veces ellas pueden presentarse con sutileza, camufladas o disfrazadas
por otros trazos. La propuesta de este trabajo es la de auto-diagnosticar
el perfeccionismo por medio de los síntomas comportamentales
presentados. Se busca la auto-terapia por medio de las auto-pesquisas
sucesivas en el cotidiano, uniendo la teoría con la práctica.
Este estudio tiene por objetivo informar y ayudar a clarificar algunos
aspectos del perfeccionismo como un todo.
ABSTRACT: Perfectionism is considered a weak
trait that manifests in many human beings, consciously or unconsciously.
It has many variables and in most cases its appearance is subtle,
hidden or disguised in other traits. The proposal is to arrive at
a self-diagnosis by means of existing behavioral symptoms. The suggested
course of action is the self-therapy arrived at through successive
self-research in the daily life, unifying theory and practice. This
study has as an objective to inform and to help clarify some nuances
of perfectionism in general.
RESUMO: O Perfeccionismo é considerado
um traço-fardo que se manifesta em boa parte da humanidade,
consciente ou inconscientemente. As suas variáveis são
muitas e na maioria das vezes são sutis, escondidas ou disfarçadas
em outros traços. A realização do autodiagnóstico,
através dos sintomas comportamentais apresentados, é
a proposta. A autoterapia buscada através de autopesquisas
sucessivas no dia-a-dia, unindo a teoria e a prática, é
o caminho sugerido. Este estudo tem por objetivo informar e ajudar
a esclarecer algumas nuanças do perfeccionismo como um todo.

Proyección Conciencial Instantánea
Cristina Toriano
En el año 1985 viví en Porto Alegre, Brasil. Cierta
noche me encontraba en el jardín de la casa de mi amiga en
Villa Asunción; conversando sobre diferentes temas. En un
momento observé que había unas palomas arriba del
techo de un jardín de invierno. No se porque, pero me quedé
absorta mirándolas un rato, hasta que en un momento mi conciencia
salió fugazmente del cuerpo hasta donde estaban las palomas
regresando de forma instantánea.
Realmente lo percibí con toda lucidez y sin ningún
trauma porque la salida y la entrada se produjeron sutilmente. Este
tipo de vivencias abre un panorama más extenso respecto a
todo cuanto nos rodea, adquiriendo mayor lucidez y apertura mental,
condiciones necesarias para conocernos de una manera más
profunda.
News and Notices
The First Student Club of Conscientiology
The Science of Self Club, founded with the aim
of discussing conscientiology and consciousness research in general,
is a new official student organization at the University of Florida.
Located in Gainesville, Florida, within two hours of Tampa, Saint
Petersburg, Jacksonville, and the entertainment epicenter of Orlando,
the University of Florida is one of the largest Universities in
the USA,. The club, a description of its raison d’être
and the contact details of the committee members are listed in the
university’s student organization directory.
With initial support from the Clinical Psychology faculty, a suitable
statute and student officers, the club holds meetings and events
on the university premises.
The club’s activities are promoted through such media as the
student organization fairs held every semester, the free newspaper
that is distributed in and around Gainesville, tables and banners
in high-traffic areas of the university, the UF website and the
Club’s own weekly update email.
The Club is able to request funds from the Student Senate Allocations
Committee once a semester to receive a share of around US$20,000
to support its activities.
The first major event to be organized by the Club and sponsored
by the University is the Colloquium on Consciousness Studies, which
will take place in August 2003. Three external organizations that
will join the event are: Monroe Institute (Virginia), IANDS (Panama
City, Florida) and the International Academy of Consciousness (Miami,
Florida).
The Colloquium will address the universality of the experience of
consciential phenomena and its research basis.
The club’s present and future activities comprise of:
• Continually seeking new, additional faculty advisors, as
this is a requirement of the Student Senate Allocations Committee,
and having more advisors from different departments is constructive;
• Training members in the basic theory and practice of consciousness
studies, under the consciential paradigm;
• Organizing presentations and seminars on conscientiology
& projectiology to be offered by officers and guest-speakers;
• Promoting discussions, seminars and debates with the public,
students, scholars and scientists of conventional and non-conventional
fields;
• Organizing cultural, scientific and social events to facilitate
communication between researchers and the general public on the
subjects of conscientiology & projectiology;
• Organizing meetings for members to plan and discuss theorice
(theory and practice) relating to conscientiological research and
the club’s goals;
• Promoting social gatherings as a means by which members
and others can fraternize and exchange ideas and experiences;
• Organizing tests on the theories, methods, and devices of
projectiology and conscientiology with the cooperation of conventional
scientists and engineers.

en Vigo el I Congreso Internacional sobre ‘Investigación
Científica de la Supervivencia a la Muerte Física’,
que reunirá a los más destacados investigadores europeos
sobre esta disciplina.
La temática del congreso se centrará especialmente
en la Transcomunicación Instrumental, donde se analizarán
las últimas investigaciones sobre psicofonías, psicoimágenes
y otras comunicaciones aparentemente recibidas de personas ya fallecidas
a través de medios electrónicos como radios, televisores,
fax, ordenadores, teléfonos y otros.
El Congreso es sin ánimo de lucro y se realiza bajo el auspicio
de la publicación especializada Cuadernos de TCI y contará
con la participación de numerosas autoridades europeas en
este campo, como François Brune, Ernst Senkowski, Hans Otto
König, Sinesio Darnell y Anabela Cardoso, entre otros. David
Fontana y Montague Keen de la SPR, centrarán sus ponencias
sobre otros aspectos de la investigación sobre la supervivencia.
Objetivo del Congreso
El objetivo del Congreso es presentar evidencias, basadas en investigaciones
recientes, sobre la supervivencia a la muerte. Para ello, las temáticas
del congreso abarcarán también experiencias cercanas
a la muerte, casos espontáneos y mediumnidad, aunque el tema
central será la Transcomunicación Instrumental. Esta
disciplina ha aumentado rápidamente en años recientes
y “proporciona ahora algunas de las más claras evidencias
de que la supervivencia a la muerte física es una realidad
para todos los seres vivos”, explicó Anabela Cardoso,
una de las organizadoras del congreso y directora de ‘Cuadernos
de TCI’.
