Summary
AI-generated from the abstractReceptive psi—the ability to receive information through non-ordinary channels—may arise within healthy mind-body-other systems that are open, porous, sensitive, and strongly interconnected. Such systems might also show richer fractal signatures. Syncretic tendencies, including synesthesia, can help bring usually invisible or intangible information into conscious awareness. The presentation discusses several correlates of psi from this perspective.

Abstract
In this presentation, I will explore the idea that [receptive] psi emerges in the context of healthy mind-body-other systems that are open, porous, sensitive, and strongly interconnected.Such systems may also be associated with richer fractal signatures.Syncretic tendencies (including synesthesia) contribute to facilitating the conscious awareness of some usually invisible or intangible information, that otherwise may remain inaccessible or invisible.Several correlates of psi will be discussed from this perspective.
