Tiny Crystals In Our Brain Could Unlock Psychic Powers
Magnetite is one of the most magnetic substances on Earth. As you can probably guess, it has a diverse range of uses; from fridge magnets to generating electricity in power plants. But what you probably wouldn’t guess is that your brain actually synthesizes these crystals, and you have hundreds of millions of them inside your head. Much smaller ones of course.
Scientists are still unsure what role, if any, these crystals play in the brain’s function. Studies have inferred that it may play a role in long-term memory. In animals, like honey bees, homing pigeons, and dolphins, magnetite is believed to be associated with the ability to respond to the Earth’s magnetic field.
While similar studies have yet to be performed on humans, we do know that Earth’s magnetic fields effect everything from our mood to our ability to learn. Even stranger, research has begun to provide links between the electromagnetic field of our planet and psychic abilities. Could these crystals act like tiny antennas connecting our brains to each other and to the entire planet? It may sound far-fetched, but surprisingly, the evidence is there.
First, let’s look at what we know about the magnetite in our brains. To be honest, we don’t know much: In 1992, the first evidence of this mineral in the brain was published. It was shocking to uncover that this highly magnetic substance was actually synthesized by our bodies, and while we don’t know exactly what function it plays in brain activity, some interesting theories have emerged. A 2009 hypothesis proposed that magnetite plays a significant role in long-term memory. It suggests that cellular components of the brain communicate with each other through magnetic signals, with the magnetite particles acting as tiny antennas, simultaneously receiving information throughout the different parts of the brain.
Magnetite also acts as an antenna for external electromagnetic fields, including the geomagnetic field of the Earth itself. And this is where things start to get interesting. An enormous body of research is emerging that shows substantive links between magnetic fields and cognitive function.
Back in 1978, research physicist Dr. Robert C Beck published preliminary research on the effects of extremely low frequency magnetic fields on the moods of human subjects. ELF fields of 6.67 Hz, 6.26 Hz and lower tend to produce symptoms of confusion, anxiety, depression, tension, fear, mild nausea and headaches. On the other hand, oscillations of 7.8, 8.0, and 9.0 Hz produce anxiety-relieving and stress-reducing effects that mimic some meditative states.
More recently, magnetic fields have been used in successful clinical practices for eliminating depression and bipolar disorder, with over 1300 medical research papers published to date. The non-invasive treatment, known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, uses a wand-shaped gadget to zap away the effects of depression.
While all of this is interesting, and can pave the way for new therapies and treatments, a group of researchers at Canada’s Laurentian University are exploring the role of electromagnetic forces in more extreme cognitive functions. Dr. Michael Persinger is a neuroscientist who has argued that all phenomena, including consciousness, spiritual experiences, and even “paranormal events,” can be explained by physical mechanisms, and can be verified using the scientific method.
Since 1971, he has been researching electromagnetic field effects upon biological organisms, and some of his recent studies sound straight out of a sci-fi movie: Dr. Persinger has shown in the laboratory that magnetic brain stimulation can create metal states conducive to human telepathy. A recent experiment placed two people at a distance in different rooms, each surrounded by an identical, computer-controlled magnetic field. When a light was flashed in one subject’s eye, the person in the other room showed responses in their brain as if they saw the flash of light.
As Dr. Persinger stated:
“We think that’s tremendous because it may be the first macro demonstration of a quantum connection, or so-called quantum entanglement. If true, then there’s another way of potential communication that may have physical applications, for example, in space travel.”
On a much larger scale, correlation has been shown between the geomagnetic forces of the planet and a variety of effects spanning large populations. A 2003 study found “strong empirical support in favor of a geomagnetic-storm effect in stock returns” and “evidence of substantially higher returns around the world during periods of quiet geomagnetic activity.”
Other research has linked geomagnetic activity to suicide, heart-disease, and even birth rates. A particularly curious global effect is related to a standing electromagnetic wave that exists between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere. Known as “The Schumann Resonance,” this wave has a frequency of 7.8 Hz, and is frequently referenced in alternative theories of consciousness. Measurements by Dr. Persinger have shown that the fundamental and harmonics of the Schumann Resonance were discernible in normal human brain activity, and in fact they correspond to Dr. Beck’s anxiety-reducing ELF fields.
Stranger still was Persinger’s study of the remote viewer Ingo Swann. “Remote viewing” refers to a technique used by “psychic spies” working for the CIA; they were able to see far off locations as if they were there; and they could even move through time. Ingo Swann was one of the first, and most accurate, viewers in this program. When Dr. Persinger measured his brain’s electromagnetic activity during viewing sessions, he found a spike in activity at 7 Hz which correlated with the most accurate viewings. Is it possible that Swann was able to project his consciousness by tuning into the standing geomagnetic waves of the Earth?
All of this adds up to a fascinating connection between our brains and the shared magnetic field not only of our planet, but potentially of the entire universe. It’s undeniable that the brain responds to magnetic forces on a local and a global scale. While no one has been able to prove the involvement of magnetite, it seems a likely suspect. If we learn to harness the power of these tiny antennas in our brain, who knows what kind of psychic superpowers we might unlock?

What Are Akashic Records?
The Akashic Records are a universal memory of existence, a non-physical, energetic space where every thought, word, action, and emotion is recorded. Sometimes referred to as the Akashic Library, this archive preserves the history of each soul, its past lives, current experiences, and potential futures. It offers a comprehensive perspective on the soul’s journey, linking all beings and levels of existence across time.
The term akasha (or akasa) comes from Sanskrit and means ether or astral light, considered the fifth element in many spiritual traditions. These subtle vibrations capture not only individual life experiences but also universal patterns, providing insight into karmic influences, personal growth, and the soul’s purpose.
For anyone accessing the Records for the first time, the experience can reveal hidden tendencies, unexplored potentials, or connections with loved ones who have passed. The Records are a living resource for spiritual growth, supporting clarity, healing, and understanding in all areas of life.
Accessible through meditation, focused intention, or the guidance of an experienced practitioner, the Akashic Records can provide wisdom about behavioral patterns, relationships, and challenges, serving as a practical tool for navigating your spiritual journey.
In the series Microdose, available on Gaia, the fascinating subject of the Akashic Records is explored, offering practical perspectives for those wishing to deepen their understanding and experience of this universal library.
History and Origins of the Records
The concept of the Akashic Records has roots in both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. In the East, philosophies have long described akasha as the fundamental etheric fabric of existence, a subtle dimension where all experiences are remembered as vibrations or astral light.
In the West, Helena Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical movement in the late 19th century, introduced the Akashic Records after her studies and experiences in Tibet. There, monks and mahatmas shared that the records exist in the akasha—a Sanskrit word meaning ether—and are the repository of universal knowledge. Blavatsky claimed she could access them through clairvoyance and psychic abilities, including astral projection, and she shared these insights as part of a broader philosophy of universal wisdom. Her teachings emphasized that human thoughts, words, and actions leave lasting impressions on this subtle field, influencing spiritual understanding and personal growth.
Rudolf Steiner, another influential metaphysician, expanded the Western understanding of the Records, describing them as a source of inspiration for human ideals and evolution. He proposed that the Akashic Records not only preserve past events but also reveal patterns that guide humanity toward harmony, justice, and spiritual development.
During the 20th century, Edgar Cayce, often called America’s “sleeping prophet,” popularized the Akashic Records through his psychic readings. Cayce described how individuals could access the Records of their past, present, and potential futures to facilitate healing, gain clarity about life’s purpose, and understand karmic patterns. He likened the Records to a Book of Life, connecting each person to a universal consciousness and to the broader flow of the soul’s journey.
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Linda Howe further advanced the understanding and practice of accessing the Akashic Records. Through her teachings, books, and workshops, Howe developed practical methods for connecting with the Records, emphasizing personal empowerment, spiritual guidance, and insight into one’s spiritual path. Her work has helped make the Akashic Records accessible to a wide audience, bridging historical teachings with contemporary spiritual practice.
Contemporary thinkers such as Ervin Laszlo continue to explore the Akashic Records from both spiritual and scientific perspectives. His “Akashic Paradigm” considers consciousness itself as deeply connected to this universal memory field, bridging spirituality and science and offering a holistic view of existence.
