Unlocking the Signals: A New Lens on ITC and the Paranormal
Ethical Paths for Exploring Shared Consciousness and Spirit Signals
By Matthew D. Jackson | ObscuraVox | July 21, 2025
Imagine you’re in a dimly lit room, your ITC (Instrumental TransCommunication) setup sweeping rhythmically like a metered ritual chant. Suddenly, a faint voice threads through the static—speaking your name, then whispering, “We are with you.” That all too familiar chill runs through you—not born of fear, but rising from awe. That awe stems from your willingness to consider: What if that voice isn’t a ghostly anomaly or wandering echo from some tragic past, but a signal from a shared consciousness connecting us all?
At Obscura Vox, we’re exploring the paranormal from a broader perspective—not as isolated oddities, but as meaningful signals within a vast network of consciousness. It’s not about haunted houses or spooky stories—this is about uncovering the threads linking every one of us, living, departed, and beyond. After years of experiences that defy tidy ghost lore, I’ve learned the paranormal is more layered—and more personal—than the mainstream ever suggests. We feel, given the larger context of communications we’ve received, that it is complete hubris to assume the unseen exists solely in a “haunted” condition.
This article is part of an evolving series on Obscura Vox, where we explore ITC through the lenses of consciousness, frequency, intention, and interconnection.
The Bigger Picture: Reality as a Shared Field
What if reality isn’t what it seems? Beyond the physical—tables, chairs, our bodies—lies a dynamic, living web of consciousness. Picture it as a cosmic network where every thought, emotion, or electronic voice phenomenon from your ITC device ripples through a unified field of awareness. Like adjusting the dial for clarity on a radio, these voices aren’t coming from outside reality—they’re already within it.
Physicist Thomas Campbell describes this in My Big TOE as a mental space—a shared dream we’re shaping, where consciousness, not matter, is the root (Campbell 2003). This doesn’t lessen our experiences; it amplifies them. Grief stings, fear grips, but seeing reality as dreamlike boosts our agency, showing how our intentions shape our world and interactions—including those ITC signals.
These ideas connect with the Akashic Field, a universal archive storing all events (Laszlo 2004). They also align with quantum nonlocality, which suggests information can traverse space instantly through entanglement (Aspect 1999).
Every consciousness resonates uniquely in this shared field. Lower-frequency signals often carry unresolved energy—pain, confusion, memory. Higher frequencies, clearer and more intentional, often come from intelligences offering wisdom, like a mentor in a moment of need.
I experienced this firsthand in Austria while working on a project with Jim Perry’s Euphomet, exploring occult connections to some of Europe’s tenebrous history—heavy, grim stuff. Sitting alone in my bedroom inside a beautiful house in Lofer, nestled in the Alps, with the crisp Alpine air outside contrasting my device’s weaving sounds, I felt apprehensive entering a week of engaging with dark energies. So, I turned on my ITC device, Zero-G ITC’s PRISM LIGHT, seeking insight. By the end of the session, a message came through: “Matthew, we love you. We are friends.” That message instilled the confidence I needed to move forward. I felt guided, protected, and deeply seen.
Whether sorrowful or supportive, both types of signals are valid. They’re interconnected parts of the same conscious web—reminders that not every encounter is about loss. Some uplift, challenge, and encourage us to grow.
Reframing the Paranormal: Consciousness, Frequency, and Connection
The phenomena we explore—ITC voices, spirit signals, synchronicities—aren’t exceptions to reality’s rules. They’re glimpses of a deeper truth. Consciousness isn’t confined to our brains; it’s the medium we’re immersed in. Every ITC capture is meaningful communication within this network, a testament to our profound interconnectedness (Cardoso 2010).
This perspective transforms the paranormal from something sterile and detached into a powerful lens for insight. It’s like holding a map to hidden realms —who cares about the theory of the terrain if it doesn’t show the best paths to traverse it? The what (reality as consciousness) intrigues, but the how (intention and approach) is what makes it real—and navigable.
Ancient traditions and modern science converge here. Chanting mantras or using singing bowls creates vibrational resonance for spiritual connection. Similarly, Campbell’s work with Robert Monroe at the Monroe Institute uses Hemi-Sync’s binaural frequencies to induce out-of-body or trans-dimensional states (Monroe Institute n.d.). Both methods use frequency and intention to align our awareness—turning ITC from ghost hunting into purposeful exchange.
The unseen is a vast ecology of beings—ancestors, guides, tricksters, and indefinable forces—echoing spiritual frameworks like the Yoruba orishas or Lakota’s Wakan Tanka (Murphy 1993; Walker 1980). Special places, rich in emotion and history, act as amplifiers—where layers of reality brush against one another. With curiosity and respect, these locations reveal signals not as curiosities, but as invitations. To understand our role in the web. To evolve through that understanding.
A Compassionate, Discerning Approach
This perspective reframes ITC sessions as dialogues for mutual growth. Active listening—tuning in without preconceptions—allows signals to reveal their meaning. Compassion becomes the cornerstone, not as pity or superiority, but as an open-hearted recognition: every energy encountered is an equal participant in the same conscious field.
It’s like sitting with a friend—not to fix them or elevate yourself (despite what social media clickbait ghost hunting has exploited), but to share in their moment. Whether it’s a confused echo seeking resolution or a higher intelligence offering guidance, approach each presence as if it belongs. Meet it with kindness and curiosity. That’s not just technique—it’s respect.
But compassion doesn’t mean naivety. It must be paired with discernment. Just as you’d listen to a troubled friend with empathy yet still set boundaries, or question a mentor’s advice before integrating it, clear judgment keeps these interactions safe and meaningful. Some energies—fragments of thought or emotion—can mislead if taken at face value. Engage with awareness. Your intention shapes the tone and direction of the session.
These encounters are reciprocal and often reflective. For example, if a voice uplifts and aligns with your growth, it may be a guide. If it causes unease without insight, consider stepping back respectfully. Then there’s the trickster—an archetype that complicates it all. A paradoxical force, the trickster thrives in liminal spaces, delivering contradiction and chaos to expose our blind spots (Hansen 2001). Drawing from ancient myths, this energy often forces us to refine our methods by confronting uncertainty.
That’s where practical discipline helps. Meditation and breathwork quiet the mental noise. Visualization aligns your frequency, helping you “tune in” with clarity. Before your next session, pause. Breathe. Set your intention: “I connect with respect, openness, and clarity.” These tools, echoed in texts like The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (Rinpoche 1992), remind us that all energies—restless or refined—are part of a continuous stream of consciousness, shaped by lived experience just like ours. The higher ones connect too. Ready to guide, if we know how to listen.
Join the Exploration
Obscura Vox is just beginning this journey. Future articles will offer practical techniques for clearer ITC sessions, share transformative encounters, and provide tools to deepen your awareness of the conscious field—no dogma, no fear. Only grounded, ethical exploration—rooted in respect for the mysteries that connect us all. Next, we’ll explore visualization techniques for clearer ITC signals.
We’ll emphasize transparency, documentation, and responsibility—ensuring the unseen is met with respect, not spectacle. We’re not just theorizing; we’re charting the map. Use these tools to navigate your own sessions, and share how they’ve guided you.
What’s your next step? Maybe it’s preparing your next session with intention. Or sharing your insights with us. Together, we’ll explore these signals not as random noise, but as invitations—to listen, learn, grow, and understand where we fit in this greater web of being.
Final Reflection: The Inevitability of Curiosity
As we navigate this shared field, remember Ryan Singer’s stages of exploration (Me & Paranormal You): researcher, investigator, experimenter, experiencer, believer (Singer, n.d.). They’re not a straight line—they’re a cycle. One we revisit, question, and evolve through.
