Mary Rodwell - FREE Experiencer Research Study Overview

FREE Experiencer Research Study We want to introduce you to a new not-for-profit research organization that has been established by various academics, Ph.D. physicists, Ph.D. psychologists, various scientists, medical professionals, and a diversity of “EXPERIENCERS”, working under one umbrella, to bring together diverse voices in the subject areas of UFO related Contact with non-human intelligence and related “paranormal” phenomena, and “Consciousness Studies”-- The Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters (FREE). FREE will officially launch on August 1, 2015.

FREE is a scientific research not for profit organization founded by Dr. Rudy Schild, Dr. Edgar Mitchell and several others. Rudy is an Emeritus Professor of Astro-Physics at Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and will be the first Executive Director of FREE. Dr. Schild was for many years on the Board of Directors of the John Mack Institute-- Dr. Mack was a medical doctor and pioneer in investigating individuals that have had UFO related “contact” with non human intelligent beings. Dr. Edgar Mitchell was the 6th man on the Moon, is known as the “Father” of the modern UFO Disclosure Movement, and is also the founder of the Institute for Noetic Sciences. Both Edgar and Rudy have also published scientific articles on the physics of our reality and have contributed to the emerging field of what is now commonly known as “Consciousness Studies.”

FREE has various scientists, academics and the top researchers in the field known as UFO related Contact. These academics and scientists are undertaking the first ever long term comprehensive ACADEMIC research study on the UFO related Contact Phenomena-- The FREE Experiencer Research Study. Our 1

research study will focus on individuals who have had any type of UFO related “Contact” with a “Non-Human Intelligent Being”.

The Mission of FREE will focus on “Research, Education, and Support.”

Our primarily focus, however, will be on scientific investigation through surveys and interviews of individuals who have had UFO related contact experiences with nonhuman sentient beings and to compare this group with individuals that have had other types of "paranormal contact experiences" through the following: NDEs, OBEs, Hallucinogenic/ Entheogenic natural substances, hypnotic regression, Mystical Meditation Travel, Channeling, Remote Viewing, and human encounters with nonhuman intelligence, and related paranormal contact experiences.

All FREE Board of Directors endorse the Post-Materialist Paradigm (PMP), promulgated by Dr. Edgar Mitchell since the early 1970s who helped to establish the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), a paradigm that firmly believes that consciousness is non-local and independent of the brain. This view of non-local consciousness allows us to possibly explain a wide variety of special states of consciousness and all the so called “paranormal” contact phenomena.

In addition, FREE will also uphold the views established by the field of “Transpersonal Psychology” that investigates the “Spiritual” aspects of our reality with openness and to help others who have had direct personal contact experiences to integrate these experiences into their daily lives and possibly into their spiritual practice. To this end, FREE will continue to support all “Experiencers” of paranormal experiences through the “FREE EXPERIENCER BUDDY PROGRAM” and other support services.

No one has ever attempted this type of study before. Our study involves 3 comprehensive quantitative surveys totally more than 900 questions and a follow-up formal interview. Phase 1 is our initial simple survey, comprised of only 125 questions that can be completed in 15-20 minutes. Our Phase 2 and Phase 3 Surveys will be administered to those individuals completing Phase 1 and indicate their willingness to proceed with our study. The formal interview will be the Phase 4 component of our study and will involve a series of 50 “open ended” questions.

As of July 15, 2015, we have received 1,304 responses to our Phase 1 survey and approximately 674 responses to our Phase 2 survey, both in the English language.

One other factor that distinguishes our research study is that our surveys are also being circulated to non-English speakers. As of July 15, 2015, we have surveys circulating in English, Spanish, and French. We launched our Phase 1 survey in Spanish approximately 30 days ago and we already have received 331 responses. We 2

launched our French survey only 10 days ago and we have already received 24 responses. We also are translating these surveys into Mandarin, Portuguese and requesting for assistance for translations into other languages.

Dr. Jon Klimo is the Chair of our FREE Experiencer Research Study. Dr. Klimo has chaired over 250 Ph.D. dissertations, 75 of them on the topic of the "paranormal". He has published numerous academic books and articles on the "Paranormal", most in peer reviewed academic journals. Dr. Klimo has also taught “Research Methodology” for over 40 years. Dr. Klimo developed the “Research Methodology” for our scientific research study.

FREE also has an Experiencer Research Committee that reports to the Board of Directors and these members are as follows: Dr. Jon Klimo (Our Chair), Dr. Leo Sprinkle, Dr. Bob Davis, Mary Rodwell, Kathleen Marden, Denise Stoner, Giorgio Piacenza, Rosemary Ellen Guilley and Dr. Michael Melton. This is the cream of the crop when it comes to “Contact Researchers/Academics”. Most of these individuals have conducted research on “Experiences” for over 25 years.

The objective of our study is, for the first time, to have comprehensive statistical and cross tabulated data findings about the phenomena of UFO related Contact as well as interview findings to back up the quantitative data. We expect to have an initial publication of our findings by the summer of 2016. After the publication of this initial report, all of our data will be placed in the public domain in our new FREE website (not yet available) to be used by all researchers and the public.

ANONYMITY: Confidentiality and Anonymity is extremely important to us.

As a participant for our 3 surveys and formal interview, the Participant has a choice to remain completely “ANONYMOUS”. There will not be a way for anyone to find out who is the Participant, where they live, or any other personal information to identify you. In addition, the Interviewer will not have any personal identifying information about you. Instead, the Participant will be given a Respondent Number.

During your Interview you will not be asked any information to identify who you are (name, address, or other sensitive personal ID information). All of the voice interviews will be audio taped and later transcribed to paper via appropriate software.

This is the reason why it is important to maintain complete anonymity. After the voice files have been transcribed, they will be destroyed. What will be left is a transcribed document that will not have any personal identifying information except for the Respondent Number.

Please inform all "EXPERIENCERS", individuals that have had any type of UFO related “Contact” with a “Non-Human Intelligent Beings”, about our FREE Experiencer Research Study and encourage them to take our initial survey.
