## Resource

As a promising young astrophysicist, during the Stalinist purges of the Soviet Union , Nikolay Kozyrev was sent to the Russian Gulag in the Arctic, where he reportedly developed his unconventional ideas about time. Ten years later, he was released, returned to science, and achieved his most significant work. Kozyrev proposed a theory he called “torsion field theory”, which postulated that time is an active physical substance with measurable properties that can vary, including density and flow rate. He said that time interacts directly with consciousness, sending energy and information, and he believed that curved reflective forms could focus or reflect this temporal energy. This led to the construction of a physical device consisting of polished aluminum sheets arranged in a cylindrical, spiral, or parabolic curve, large enough to enclose a seated human subject so a person can sit inside the structure. The organic geometry was chosen to reflect the torsion fields of a person’s light body. One or more subjects would sit inside these Kozyrev mirrors, isolated from external stimuli, and asked to simply observe their inner experience. The subjects reported altered states of consciousness, they experienced remote viewing, had visions of distant locations, made contact with other entities, and some shared telepathic experiences with each other, including the transmission of information. During the Kaznacheev experiments conducted at the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Siberia during the 1990s and 2000s, these experiments were conducted above the polar circle, where the plasma of aurora events seemed to directly interact with the Mirror installation. The researchers specifically argued that proximity to the auroral oval, where aurora activity is concentrate…
