A Shift in Perspective
Returning from Apollo 14, Mitchell experienced Earth and cosmos as a deeply interconnected whole.

Where Inner Knowing
Meets Scientific Inquiry.
A curated AkashicNET portal into the Institute of Noetic Sciences, its origins, frontier research and the community questions that helped inspire this living knowledge network.
Outer space → Inner space
A lunar perspective became
a fifty-year inquiry.
IONS Is Founded
The institute was created to bring scientific method into dialogue with direct, subjective knowing.
Science Enters the Story
Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets placed a fictional noetic scientist and real IONS research before a global readership.
A Living Research Gateway
AkashicNET connects official sources, peer-reviewed work, criticism, interpretation and community inquiry without collapsing their evidence levels.
Research constellation
Follow the phenomenon.
Keep the claim visible.
Each doorway separates the existence of an experience, the measurement of a correlate, the evidence for an anomalous effect and the proposed mechanism.
Publication · Interpretive thesis
The Science of Magic
Dean Radin’s 2025 book brings psi, mind–matter questions and participatory models of reality into a deliberately provocative frame. The title is an invitation to investigate, not a substitute for replication.
Open source ↗Active research · Contested evidenceTelepathy & Psi
IONS studies telephone telepathy, ganzfeld-style paradigms, presentiment, remote viewing and other psi claims. Reported effects, mechanisms and reproducibility must be evaluated separately.
Open source ↗Experience + research programmePsychic Channeling
IONS defines channeling as information or energy experienced as unconstrained by conventional space and time, then studies prevalence, phenomenology, physiology and possible explanations.
Open source ↗Established physiology → Open inferenceHeart, Field & Coherence
Cardiac electrical activity, magnetocardiography and heart-rate variability are measurable. Toroidal imagery is a useful field model; claims about interpersonal information transfer or global coherence require stronger independent testing.
Open source ↗Hypothesis · Scientifically unresolvedNon-Local Consciousness
The possibility that consciousness is not wholly produced or bounded by the brain connects IONS research to AkashicNET’s Big Questions. It remains a hypothesis, not an established conclusion.
Open source ↗Research model · Lived consequencesTransformative Experience
A noetic experience may become life-changing through exploration, practice, relationship and service. Transformative impact can be studied without assuming that every interpretation of the experience is factually correct.
Open source ↗IONS Consciousness Transformation Model
The experience is a beginning,
not the conclusion.
IONS developed this working model from narratives, interviews, focus groups, surveys of more than 2,000 people and longitudinal studies. It traces a possible movement from noetic experience through exploration and practice towards living deeply, community and collective transformation.
A subjective sense of direct knowing or profound connection.
Inquiry, discernment and repeated practice shape what follows.
Meaning may widen from personal change towards relationship and service.
A proposed social horizon, not a guaranteed outcome of any experience.
The precursor to AkashicNET
The Noetic Sciences Toolkit
was the original plan.
Before AkashicNET became the wider living knowledge network, the vision was an open GitHub toolkit for organising noetic questions, evidence, practices and experiments. AkashicNET did not replace that seed; it became the larger architecture in which the toolkit could eventually grow.

One searchable field.
These searches gather analysis, discussion, lived experience and source-sharing from the subreddit. Community material is not automatically scientific evidence; each post must be read according to its sources and claims.

“IONS investigates this” does not mean “IONS has demonstrated this.” AkashicNET follows the chain from public explanation to study design, peer-reviewed publication, independent replication, criticism and revision.

Much Gratitude 🙏🏽 to IONS
And to every person who has
carried the inquiry forward.
AkashicNET offers heartfelt gratitude to the Institute of Noetic Sciences and to every founder, scientist, research participant, practitioner, educator, donor, critic and community member whose work has helped keep difficult questions open to careful exploration.
We are interconnected through the questions we inherit, the evidence we examine, the experiences we honour and the understanding we share.Gratitude and intellectual lineage do not imply institutional affiliation, partnership or endorsement.
