Eidetic

1 Derived from the Terran philosopher Plato. The ancient Terran view of vision extended beyond mere objects. Ancient philosophers were well-versed in qualitative sciences, and had observed that matter in an ordinary state was radiant. Matter sends out its emanations in all directions, even in the dark. When the mind is properly initiated and exercised, consciousness can actually project through the eyes. When that happens, a very special type of vision occurs. Radiance coming from the eye and from all objects is called EIDOLA, which means literally "idea messages". (Descartes).

2 Eidolic qualitative

3 Eidetic quantitative

4 Eidetic imagery is carried with a set of lines, as a living thing. (Vassilaitos)

5 Eidetic vision includes a special type of persistent afterimage, which has conscious qualities. It is an ability to process or reshape remembered forms and images.

Electromagnetic Spectrum

1 Range of frequencies of all energies which have been classified as electromagnetic. The slower the frequency of vibration relative to time, the longer the wavelength of the energy. In order from slowest to fastest, the frequency range encompasses the following energies: Alternating Current (AC) Electricity, Extremely Low Frequency (ELF), Very Low Frequency (VLF) Radio, Amplitude Modulation (AM) Radio, Shortwave (SW) Radio, High Frequency (HF) Radio, Microwave, Radar, Infrared (Heat), Visible Light, Ultraviolet Light, X-Rays, Gamma Rays, Cosmic Rays

Electromagnetism

1 One of the fundamental forms of energy in the Universe. It changes characteristics radically depending on its frequency and wavelength, which tend to correlate closely with each other. Generated in relatively pure form by numerous natural processes such as solar fusion, electromagnetism normally interacts with other energy forms. Generally thought to travel at a constant speed, known as the "speed of light", or 186,000 miles per second, electromagnetic energy usually travels through space as an expanding sphere, and will tend to do so until it encounters an obstacle.

Electromechanical

1 Of or pertaining to mechanical devices or systems electrically actuated, such as a solenoid (magnetic actuator) or an electrometer (electrostatically actuated). (Nurnberger)

Electromotive

1 The potential of electrical force sufficient to create an obvious effect on matter, generally by moving it.

2 Electron

3 Small theoretical particle which is generally believed to normally orbit around the nucleus of an atom. It may under some conditions come loose from atoms in materials, such as metals, and create a flow of electrical current.

Electrophoresis

1 Movement of suspended particles through a fluid when stimulated by an electrical force.

Eloptic

1 Etheric energy which contains the signature pattern of a witness. Type of radionic energy patterns observed and utilized by 20th Century Terran researcher Dr. T. Galen Hieronymous. Since the energy obeys some laws of electricity and some of optics, the word was coined as a combination of the two.

Exciton

1 In a crystal, holes (vacancies) and electrons can become energetic, and move about the area. This phenomenon is key to the development of transistors and integrated circuits.

Extrememly Low Frequency (ELF)

1 Electromagnetic radiations between 30 and 300 cycles per second. These have wavelengths up to several hundred miles long. It has been alleged by several sources that ELF waves have been used in military applications.
