new test propose.
Propose of the protocol to test my claiming powers.
Based on the testing with 10 sets of photos (by 5 photo in each set.)
Without looking in any possible- physical ways in side of the sealed envelope, just by holding it between my hands, I will be able to identify the photo that will be inside and will name it.
In order to be able to demonstrate such abilities I need to be able to perform a minimum of three trials.
That would give me enough time to demonstrate it. Also having 3 trials significantly reduce stress level for me in comparence to 1 and only trial for the testing of claimed by me abilities.
During 3 trials with 10 sets in each trial, in one of them I will get at least 9 correct out of 20 photos to which I will offer my guess. If I get less than 9 correct in any of 3 trials, I accept that I was not able to perform my abilities successfully under/according the conditions and the protocol that was agreed before the test by both sides such as Myself and JREF and that the test results are negative. With 9 or more correct photos in any of three trials, the test result is positive.
Materials required:
Materials for each set of 5 photos: 5 highly distinguishable photographs, with a unique name for the image. 5 identical small envelopes. 5 identical Manila envelopes.
50 photographs per trial 3.5 x 5 inches printed from the files that I will assemble in advance. (150 for all 3 trial)
50 letter sized envelopes ( 150 in all)
50 larger manila envelopes (150 in all)
Paper sheets with the list of the photos that will be used in sets.
Drawing book with plain pages. (In order to be able if necessary to draw the visions that I will see during the test)
Environment stipulations:
No talking or any kind of distraction with light or sound or any other ways of interruption during the test. No photography during the test will be allowed as the flash or the sound produced by the camera can be distracting.
No trickery, or cheating from either Pavel or JREF or other parties present in room during the test. The environment should be established to give me the best chance of success and JREF the assurance that my abilities are real.
No substance with a strong odor will be allowed in the room same, include people who might use perfume that has strong odor and that can cause distraction during the concentration and a headache due to the strong smell.
It is important that in the room where the test will be held, there should be NO photos or pictures of any kind on the walls or anywhere near me and visible to me.
What Will Constitute a Successful Test:
If I am able to identify 9 photos out of 20 sealed envelopes (drawn from 10 sets of 5, by two from each set) just by holding it between my hands, the test will be successful.
In order to beat the 1/1000 odds, that is necessary according the JREF expectations to pass the preliminary test I should be able to perform the results of either one of two feats:
1. Guess both exactly right at least 5 times out of 10.
2. Guess at least one right at least 9 times out of 10.
List of the photographs. (I might still change some of the photos)
1. The cross
2. Ship “Titanic”
3. Egyptian pyramids
4. Clock
5. Landscape with sunset (in color).
Preparation:
By a third party in a separate room all the pictures that are used in the testing will be placed into letter sized envelopes and then place the letter sized envelopes into larger manila envelopes.
For each run there, shell be prepared separate set of envelopes, in order to save time in replacing photos in the new envelopes and reshuffling them.
If there will be agreed 3 trials by 10 sets each, in this case 3 identical sets of 10 sets (of five agreed photos in each) have to be prepared in advance.
For each run:
1. Each of the five photos is placed in a different small envelope and sealed.
2. These 5 small envelopes are shuffled sufficiently in order to lose track of which is which.
3. Each of these small envelopes is placed in a different manila envelope and sealed.
4. The 5 manila envelopes are shuffled sufficiently in order to lose track of which is which.
Ten sets according to conditions described above have to be prepared for each trial.
Three sets of 10 sets of five, shell be prepared for whole test.
The envelopes will be checked for marks, folds, creases etc by JREF representatives before being brought into the test room.
Test settings:
1. The photos will be placed in envelopes in separate room by a third party with the supervision of a JREF representatives who will make sure that there will be no interference in the process of preparation of the photo pairs for the test.
2. After I am situated, ready, and comfortable, I will cover my eyes with a mask and my ears with the plugs and will have 10 minutes to get ready and relax.
After that, the testing shell begin, and one random envelope from the first/any set shell be handed to me.
3. I would need up to 2 minutes to hold each envelope. (Though usually it take about 40-45 minutes for all 10 runs including brake of 5 minutes between every 5 sets)
The test.
The envelopes arranged by the sets, will be prepared to be used in test.
The person will give me the envelopes of the current set of 5, with no words or any other sound signs that would in any way suggest or define the order of the envelopes of the set that will be handed to me.
I will hold each of the five sealed manila envelopes in turn, and choose the two that I get the strongest image on. (Each envelope I might hold up to 2 minutes).
I will take the mask off and offer my guess for the two photos that will be chosen by me.
I will offer my guess by writing the name of the image on each of these two envelopes or draw the image on top of each envelope and name it a laud.
After the writing/ drawings will be finished and the answers was announced, I will hand the envelopes back to the third party. The third party will open the envelopes in front of everyone including me* and will reveal the photo that was inside. Then the result will be recorded as either correct or incorrect by the JREF or any other party who will be in the room.
The same procedure will be done with all 10 sets of photos in current trial.
And during all trials that will be agreed, until the last envelope will be identified by me and my “guess” will be announced.
I would need 5 minutes brake between each 5 photo sets.
I would need 10/15 minutes brake between every trial.
After all the tests-runs will be complete, the JREF representative will announce the results for the Preliminary Test as either Positive or Negative.
Remarks:
* I need to know the result of my “guess” immediately after I name the photos. I prefer this because, when I hold the envelopes I am trying to foresee what will I actually see when the photo will be revealed. By asking myself – “What picture will I see when the envelope will be open”. For this reason, it is important for me and necessary to see the actual photo immediately after I offer my “guesses” during the test.
Notes:
1. No talking (or signaling!) during the test from any person who will be present in room.
2. No text messaging or phone calls allowed, as the sms and call alerts can distract my concentration and affect the result of my answer. (The smsing during the test is not permitted either, as the sound of the constantly clicking buttons can be very irritating and distracting). For that reason, all mobile phones in the room, must be switched to a silent mode to eliminate interruptions of the testing. If anyone needs to make calls or sms, it can be done during the brake between runs
3. Any person that is present at the testing may raise his or her hand during the demonstration to inform the others of suspicious behavior of anyone in the room. However, no shouting or interruptions will be allowed during the process of identifying the photo. If there are any doubts or suspicions, the person shall raise his/her hand silently and inform the others after I have finished with identification of the current photo and announced my answer.
