MENTAL IMAGES ACCOMPANYING ecstatic trance commemoration with polygraphic recording of his ecstatic experiences of the gravel bed Bonate Adelaide Roncalli a. 50 in Milan - Piazza San Nazzaro, on 04/05/1988 1. Meeting at the home of Adelaide Roncalli in Milan On 04/05/1988 in the morning I went to the church of Saint Nazaire in Milan, where Bishop Giacometti Sessa and Don, consecrated Christian already known and with whom he collaborated for apparitional phenomena, I asked to meet Mrs Adelaide Roncalli, who lived, at the time, in the square next to the church.
I brought with me a polygraph (Lafayette Ambassador) just in case, wanting to apply it, if Mrs. Adelaide allowed for a psychophysiological recording facts about the commemoration of the 1944 apparitional occurred at the village of Ghiaie Bonate (BG) in 1944, the age of seven. Mrs.
lived to the upper floors of a building next to the Church. He
accepted with some hesitation, though he knew of the visit by the pastor of the Church of San Nazzaro, but was quickly reassured that it was just a courtesy call and that was interested in knowing something about his current emotional memories of the events of 1944 in apparitional which had been involved and all that had happened even after these events.
had her consent, which gave me even after seeking the advice of his sister this, we began to ask general information about how she lived now, and she asked the nurse who was near the hospital shifts daily. The
wondered if he worked at night and she said that night, quite often, was to help some seriously ill in hospital as a volunteer.
To which I asked her when she slept, since he also had a family that pledged, so he was not indifferent to the activity as well as home work, and she told me that he tried to fulfill his duties even family members.
His talk was very small, as well as his attitude, did not gave any attitude of superiority and answer questions with dexterity, without thinking much and without changing tone of voice, which was normal, even his facial expression was in keeping the speeches, almost always with a half smile across his face, that is not asymmetrical, and his eyes were turned towards the other person even if it sometimes moved in the upper right, to remember better what was exposed, the posture was rigid, or flexed, but fairly straight, the chin extended.
I asked if it possible to ask you some questions about the events of 1944 and if I could register the instrument that I had brought with her answers, she has also agreed to ask what he thought of his sister, who also gave his approval.
they started laughing because they did not expect this recording, but Adelaide has willingly accepted.
2. The definition of mental images The definition of mental image has never been unambiguous. Several authors have no differences, but there is agreement on their nature, that is not a representation of the perceived sensory (see Holt, and then Pribram, Galanter, Miller, note 19), but also a mental representation of a character parapsychological ( Holt 1964), also reported for a particular stress or, if you will, too biopsicocibernetici. Antonelli describes 13 types of mental images, including also introduces the hallucinatory image, according Holt when they arise in the absence of sensory stimuli, a fact to which reference is made Antonelli, ie in the case of "paranormal hallucinations, these are distinct from hallucinations pathological and concern ghosts, apparitions, mystical visions. So the issue of mental images or a spiritist religious character was not scorned by those authors who write well are watched by a pathological connotation to parapsychology, religion and altered states of consciousness and biopsicocibernetica religious or secular. According
Mac Kellar mind could process the items offered by the senses in ways independent of the offers is based and process these elements giving new forms and reorganized to produce new results (footnote 19, p. 5).
Later, with the cognitive and the construction of an active mind, perception and imagination would be the same forms of mental activity or mental key, so there would be a continuum (approach or separation) between these two mental activities that are of the same extreme psychic activity. These assumptions were later confirmed by the effect Perky (Segal 1972), in which an external stimulus can be introduced into the flow ideational picture without the subject being aware of this. Many others have been studying the topic and their findings confirm that more and more the boundaries between perception and imagination are blurred, when it is not possible (Berlyne) draw precise distinctions, so we also have different behaviors. In 1985, Kitamura accentuates the fact that while perceptions are linked to external stimulus, the images mind can be changed by the mind (on) as they can be changed at will by the mind itself (Arieti 1967).
Other authors, such as Neisser (1976), defending the novelty of mental images such as construction of new models and non-revival of past memories, then perception and imagination can also build new images that the mind was not on his shelves.
Thus, there is some interdependence between the mental image and thinking, Piaget recognizes the image and not just a cognitive function, probably in anticipation of thought, but speaks of the same versatility as the emotional dynamics are expressed precisely in an image code, and then he its precise role in the cognitive process and organized, or higher cognitive skills (Lorenz, note 19. p.30).
And so the logical mathematical tool has become one of the first to know, at the expense of other codes such as mental imagery, which was given only a complementary accessory. However, this mental activity was reintroduced into the psychology and psychiatry through the various psychotherapeutic techniques that are based precisely on the production of mental images.
also the mental image would simulate the properties quickly, give new information (Ahsen 1982) and interpret the material in a more structural cognitive perception of reality and thus precede the representation of external reality and the various operational solutions which then implements the cognitive process.
It is preferred to adopt a simplified solution of mental images proposed by Richardson to more elaborate, but more detailed and therefore more dispersed, the question apparitional, because (Shepard) confirms that "external sources to a change of thought are just the mental images and mental processes that lead. "
Remember Holt, between the mental images as part of "parapsychology, and other religious entities.
The question of staff had signed to know:
- what kind of mental image corresponded to both the memory of the events of 1944 and the subsequent consequences of the same.
- is the interference of all of the following abuses of any kind suffered by you with the appearance and
- differentiation that could have been done in the psychophysiological findings that would emerge from the path and then to those which existed only a few checks clinical, but not instrumental.
The question arose from the distinction made by Richardson, who had given a fairly comprehensive classification of mental images themselves, namely (1983):
- afterimage. They are images that remain after, when the external stimulation runs out, look like the sun and after looking at a wall on which the sun appears in the same or other colors.
- eidetic images. At one time the subject identified in the ability to see a mental image that is an exact copy of the original sensory experience and thus a vivid memory. Is now preferred to use such a term to describe an image created voluntarily by the subject. They are more common in children than in adults.
- Pictures of thought. The image of thought is that which goes with life, as it evokes the experience of every day as part of past memories, mental and verbal processes of everyday life and accompanies also anticipatory of future actions. Is that the kind of mental image that people have lived during the learning experientially, then transformed into thought and his own name or image category, and then also in unconsciously recalls when he says names or categories of images precisely defined with a name .
- Pictures of the imagination. These images appear when there is a reduction of attention to the outside and then the images of thought give way to the stream of images of the imagination, in which the subject is increasingly absorbed in the content of the new phenomena that become almost perceptual (before then discrete states of consciousness - CS - intermediate between the state of reality and the other, that is modified consciousness - SMC -), and the object becomes less and less active against the outside world that does not remind him more and also the centers that activate the state of reality tend to turn off and turn on other centers.
The imaginative content of the images can have very strong emotions, takes on new characters and original until the picture may appear even as also physically present on all sensory channels.
Then, if the subject identifies herself more and more in this type of image, it changes the awareness outside (or decrease in their orientation reflex), and the subject had the experience external sensory imagination as in reality, so:
- the orientation reflex is lowered until it disappears and
- emerging opportunities psychophysical other details, such as anesthesia at the time and posthumously, the lack of response 'skin electrical activity (EDA) to tactile stimuli, and other pain medications, and even unusual phenomena such as retinal photostimulation, which decreases its response, and a decrease in general and not all abnormal sensory responses, without altering its receptors.
This classification has the merit of differentiating types of images which can be subjected to the mind / brain with the findings accompanying psychophysiological measurable and qualitative / quantitative information about various instrumental tracks and Printing.
It can be concluded that the various trance, including the ecstatic trance, fall into the latter category of images, the contents of rest are often similar to perceptual stimuli, despite their perception but finding himself on the same continuum imagination.
2.1 The guiding images of our minds and our experiences with some taught or guided imagery can be accessed empower imaginative images that emerge from the story of the person who opens the flow of images that flows in our mind / brain and tunes on it and introduces new elements or new images.
This phenomenon, which some authors (Pope and Singer 1978) is considered a neuronal phenomenon, which in fact can be activated by techniques and guided imagery or not, in the latter 'case, the images have unknowing, also called spontaneous, even if they come from the memories of the subconscious or are just new acquisitions of the cognitive process.
Some people also have to verbalize psychophysiological characteristics rather than by viewers.
The first are those who are used to define their feelings with specific words or symbols, and therefore less prepared for the emotions experienced as such, but viewers are also the developers emotional stimuli they receive in a more direct and efficient. Viewers might be called sensitive subjects, those who are more sensitive to stimuli that is also considered below the minimum of the stimulation it and then process information that others do not receive, these patients are also referred to "low threshold" for the same reason. These dips may represent emotional threshold external events that tend to de-concentrate the subject from the outside world, such as thunder, lightning and other stimuli that predispose the individual to receive emotional is not controlled by consciousness, the consciousness that the subject will be the lead experience that occurs, and G. Lapassade I call the trance (though considered different: trans).
some time have been launched with cognitive behavioral therapy mental images, such as to reproduce the situation of the past and so describe the emotions felt at the time with their psychophysiology of the time, then took over the training to take in that situation and strategies to overcome them with new solutions in fact mediated by mental images stimulated.
It 'true that all these techniques relate to stressful situations, but can also be applied to "produce new images that obviously are no longer spontaneous, ie without obvious external stimulus, but it caused.
For example, among the many psychotherapies you want to remember over the years of autogenic training (Schultz, 1935 and subsequent amendments) in which the processes "meditation" is based on subject's ability to see colors, pictures, concrete objects, abstract scenes, persons, entities, and that's that visualization plays a central role psychophysiological and you can slip by the passage of reality testing in modified or altered states of consciousness, where people imagined entities play a main role of the viewer.
all part of the active mind, which is beyond the test of reality and it is as if he were really living what happens experientially.
At this point it is permissible to enter into imaginative pictures also
- those who do not recognize a stimulus from those described, but come from other sources call it "spiritual" and that the world religions are identified in the various entities present there (already mentioned Holt).
E 'logical at this point to assume that these entities have a different approach with the mind of the man who moved in the same sensory centers to understand them, and then the state of human consciousness is not that of ordinary reality, but an altered state of consciousness that you can test well and psychophysiological parameters statistically building tables differential basis with the state of consciousness or ordinary reality and others have been changed or altered.
One must also note that for example the Madonna, the Catholic world, was a real human and historical, in the same church, still true today, albeit with a body "modified" that stimulates the human mind always that the feels as if it were receptive sensory channels or more properly (as shown) in the centers of the same association.
So if this occurs to some real entity and not to others present, it is because in that state is now not fall under the sensory information, but would stimulate the same sensory centers who accept it as if it were real, and then to the subject that is experientially real dispercepisce (the brain / mind has no other centers to decode and frame stimuli from external reality or reality that can be operated as a switch such centers ).
Below the map of the states of consciousness R. Fischer explains the role of the autonomic nervous system depending on the stimulation of its two components: the sympathetic system or warning, excitement, and the parasympathetic, or system status or reduction of stimuli.
Fig 1. Map of the variety of states of consciousness from perception hallucination ; Better mental image in a continuum of activation ergotrofica (orthosympathetic), left, and perception for meditation or underactive parasympathetic activity increased in the right.
The test of reality between the state of consciousness of reality begins after the anxiety left and right after the peace, where they start the altered states of consciousness or altered.
3. Polygraphic recording of Adelaide The registration was in the living room; Adelaide was sitting on a chest / couch; room temperature about 22 °. The it was said that he could stay there where she sat: the sensors that would have applied had recorded the its basic functions, such as the costal and diaphragmatic breathing, heart activity such as frequency and vascular tone, the electrical activity of the basic skin and phasic (ie, response to stimuli of various kinds, as well as to internal stimuli, ie memories emerging).
recording lasted about 16 minutes.
not yet had rolls of graph paper said conventional polygraph thermal writing, however the recording was made on thermal paper.
After about 2 'stabilization of the electrodes have started to ask you some questions in the following order and letting the answers could be supplemented by Adelaide. The
questions asked were:
- name
-
how old he was - if he could go back in time to remember what had happened with my eyes closed
- the country that was Ghiaie Bonate
- the year was
1944 - she says he is troubled because the shake those memories for all that has happened after
- it is suggested that the close your eyes so that it can better remember
- the wonders of the Madonna
- when he saw
- if
remembers - she says to remember the church of San Giuseppe
- it is being asked if he can show it (I explained what was the first display), right on the rock where she was standing or if you saw this)
- She says she can "feel with the mind" just as he saw it then
- reminds the crowd that scares
now as then - (if you remember who was brought in by the military arm)
- many people are frightened
-
I thought - I never asked for anything (if it was true or what)
- tells me that the vision would reappear when she died (appearance of 31/05/1944)
- this said in an appearance.
- she smokes at night
- her two daughters aged 14 and 12 years
- often ask if the appearance is true
- about don Cortesi
- even if no crime has gone too far. End of
ended questions recorded.

4. Concluding Remarks and conclusions of the path of that It 's very important for a reading of emotional memories and therefore also of how he lived the events in 1988 Adelaide Roncalli, 1944, to recall the words in front of a notary absolutely convinced that he had "received" the Madonna, the Catholic religion Entities.
On February 20, 1989 stated the following:
"I was born in Adelaide Roncalli signed Ghiaie Bonate Sopra (Bg) April 23, 1937, forty-fifth anniversary back in to declare, as I have often done on previous occasions, which are absolutely convinced that they had the Apparitions of Our Lady of gravel Bonate 13 to 31 May 1944 when I was seven.
The events I have painfully experienced since then, I offer to God and the rightful authority the Church, to which one belongs or not to recognize what in good conscience and in secure possession of my mental faculties I believe to be truth.
Sincerely, Adelaide Roncalli
February 20, 1989. "
If we carefully read what was written after 45 years, you see words that are very important to the emotional experiences and the experiences of altered states of consciousness of Adelaide Roncalli at the time.
"I am absolutely convinced" there is uncertainty as to have lived a particular experience and have seen the Virgin Mary, who spoke to her and gave her messages to report. His memories are always the same: it has no doubts or second thoughts volunteers or distortions of memories same.
"The stories I have painfully experienced (...)" opens the chapter here that often accompanies these people with experience of altered states of consciousness are not believed, the institutions do not want to learn.
supersede experts who are not experts, as the priest Don courtesy that always closely followed and that he wanted to put everything to rest as soon as possible, with the help of nuns that abusive and beat her with a mock funeral lived under a shroud and all that follow him who has always suffered in the religious Catholic. The pain is still there, the abuse of the ticket required to write from dictation is still present and also probably some of the attitudes same (the response polygraphy at the mention of Don Cortez is the highest of the whole track).
We know that these people, since they claim to self-dispercepire Entity such as Madonna, they end their privacy and are exposed to any positive or negative, as well as behaviors of the same caliber, they become public figures and therefore likely to suffer any "story" emotionally positive or negative.
"In good conscience and in secure possession of my wits" is a continuation of the first claim. He suffered injustices of all kinds: psychological and physical violence. Therefore, his conscience is quiet, has no caused by emotional distress for "seeing" is not completely well (very common references in the visionaries made official by the same Catholic Church), and then adds that it is in possession of his faculties: the logic of his thinking is coherent, precise, and can not be counterfeited the consequence of what is written is that you are actually sensory apparitional all events of 1944, up to expulsion from the convent where she wanted to dedicate the night to the religious life.
Adelaide is still alive when those "painful" that still hurt the notarial deed, although 45 years have elapsed.
4.1 Screening of the registration and evaluation of responses psychophysiological The recording was done suddenly, without a prior application in Adelaide, which certainly did not expect, knowing only that a visit had been announced by Don Sessa of the nearby Church of San Nazzaro.
is not conclusive proof as it could be used as a recording polygraph lie detector, not least because it is customary to use this type of registration (Proof of Lies) on those who have suffered an event, because only a lie voluntarily give the results reliable.
On the other hand, even those who may have suffered an event that does not fall in some areas religious / emotional (such as emotional arousal specific entities) can also be activated by stimuli psychophysiological mental images that may appear spontaneous, or are triggered by memories of past damage as a result of special circumstances and in an altered state of consciousness with images that the subject perceives (dispercepisce) as experiential and for him / her "real" external reality, as projected outward from the brain / mind.
In other altered states of consciousness such as dreams, the subject is scheduled for a particular physiological state (already genetically programmed) which also involves the active participation in the mental theater of the subject itself, after passing through another has changed the consciousness that is sleeping, which could have a serious mental images triggered by recent and past memories, like in the dream that is distinct from sleep.
Adelaide was playing and gathering flowers with three girlfriends, then (trigger event)
- no longer met, absent, motionless, pale, no longer plays, did not respond to calls (enter the altered state of consciousness with at least activation orthosympathetic media or hyper)
oe Palmina a girlfriend ran to her mother shouting that Adelaide was "standing dead", that is sealed from the outside, with obvious lack of OR, or orientation reflex and there were no more stimuli of the external environment is likely to be hyperextension posture with muscle stiffness.
or (and who lived a subjective experience that had shown that objectified in the external environment for the conduct that had taken).
You do not want in this context to recall the steps polygraph environmental and behavioral
from a pre-event and after the event, with what has already been written by contemporary historians cited in the bibliography or subsequent events.

paragraph E (moral judgments) gives professional advice in a discipline not of its relevance, ie a field not his own, dealing with moral judgments, not attributable to a psychiatrist, but a spiritual operation, and then just ethically correct.
The two tables show the heart rate of Adelaide during the various moments of ecstatic trance up: in the second a double recording was made by two doctors at the same time (May, Cazzamalli).
4.2 Assessment of polygraphic recording Shrunk the recording times to not take advantage of that consensus is a bit 'extorted, and to have some confirms that the polygraph could endorse the emotional memory of that time and then the sincerity of Adelaide, and any mental images of the actual memory of that time:
- The recording has yielded significant results, as the emotions evoked, and still exist, both fear of emotional tranquility, as we find the fear of crowds, fear still alive the memory of Don Cortesi, calm emotional in responding to the questions of the girls that does not cause changes in alignment, so the mental image evoked is not fear or anxiety before had.
- The recording was inadequate and imperfect in terms of recording pen warm.
- Registration costal breathing has not been registered, the pens did not come back and always sull'isoelettrica This argues for an imperfect grounding of the electrical system of the apartment, hence interfering with the track, to which are added also artifacts.
- It 's been used a thermal paper without breakdowns provided by the instrument itself,
- The reading took place then reporting on the graph paper specifies the path, which is also visible on the original photocopied in 1988.
4.3 The interpretation of the psychophysiological path Adelaide initially displays anxiety, which is an activity that is supported emotionally by activation orthosympathetic evident in all polygraphic derivations, like you would expect from a sudden visit by the instrument.
The recording of phasic electrodermal activity (EDA-PH) showed the two biggest waves of the path to the application for his name and country of origin, ie not direct questions to the facts of Gravel.
Cardiac device also records a path almost unreadable for the excursion of the baseline, and then the path to normal except in the baseline of heart, those who do not take more trips, even if the baseline is often corrugated while the capillary tone always oscillate with an amplitude greater than the pre-registration.
The decrease of breathing frequency and wave to take the train and go back to growing and declining, except in some particular time, on a low-amplitude oscillations, when the wave phasic talk show a downturn and its characteristic serrated who is speaking. The year 1944
stirs in her a feeling that is reflected in what he wrote in the notarial deed, this emotion is not excessive, since it has a slight undulation of the baseline heart rate increased without it. His own admission of evidence of the polygraph is being shaken, as of the beginning registration, and proof of the sincerity of the moment.
The shutting of the eyes does not cause agitation, while the suggestion to remember when he saw the Virgin Mary because the intense emotional activation, which is two medium-high waves on the electric activity of the skin and the respiratory pattern, 6 heavy sighs, negativity as well as a concave / acute heart failure in the initial baseline oscillation of the baseline and lively enough, while the latter will not suffer the frequency increases, so there is a strong emotion and Adelaide is in the state of reality.
So this time Adelaide shows an 'agitation' high, but suddenly, because your heart rate does not change and therefore not there are increases in stress hormones lie (recall that while in truth declared five areas of the brain are activated, it activates a lie nine). The suggestion and instead see it - I can see her mentally - (do you want to say that he has an intense memory, but only a memory in the brain / mind, not to reoccur - and nothing stops it could happen - the mental image of that spontaneous ). (Richardson).
But consider also the sudden approach with Adelaide, which receives information about the polygraph just at the moment, and then the anxiety and what is proposed, excluding fraud awareness.
Remember, always according to Richardson (1983), that there is a correlation between mental images evoked responses and psychophysiological and then relational
- Relationship between the mental image aroused and psychophysiological activity that may accompany it.
- Report on the functional relationship between content and imaginative experience any physiological consequences.
It 'true that the study of related psychophysiological mental images in general, and therefore also of those mentioned, is whether there are specific psychophysiological changes that accompany the mental images that can be distinguished from those of other mental events accompanying is the primary fact, both the memory. Always
Richardson (1984) reminds that:
- For a psychophysiological equal effect, the mental image should present similar characteristics of primary experience, that the image content, at which point the more the contents of the mental experience are close primary , the more you highlight the psychophysiological findings.
- Such images evoked primary and specific characteristics that are essential in 'activation of several biological processes that can be tested. So even the sighs
described above argue for the critical consideration that the answer to evoke psychosomatic mental image does not exclude the mental state of the subject time and subsequent times, it remains to include the mental image mental image is always emotional, which also activates the cognitive component (Lang 1979), which brings back the experiences of carers and then later, with the image itself ("image mental imagery").
The undersigned has no terms of comparison with findings psychophysiological age or later, because the only comments in my possession are only those of Dr. Eliana Maggi, who has checked the radial pulse manually, and then tables are built based on feedback that can be carried out and check out below.
Other physicians have noted above cutaneous anesthesia, better described as OR. or orientation reflex, very important in determining if you are already in an altered state of consciousness, as well as reality testing and duly reported. ("In addition to them were also scholars and professors who wanted to see if Adelaide was really ecstatic. For this reason, called by name, shook her, pricked with the pin's on the cheeks and eyes, lit a match and they did burn under his nose, but this did not help nothing, Adelaide remained impassive, L. Iblani bibliography). The memory of Don
Cortesi is for her a source of fear evoked by the accompanying changes in psychophysiological and described, and the question whether the daughters' really seen her "do not cause any change, especially EDA skin electrical activity, and thus its experience of 1944 was lived then, and then recalled in 1988, as real , that is an altered state of consciousness kind of ecstatic, hyper-activated sympathetic trophic and beyond the test of reality, that is almost complete abolition of the OR, or orientation reflex (see any map of altered states of consciousness Fischer).
With this report you will,
or in part on the general dynamics of ecstatic trance, or
but especially on the dynamics of psychophysiological Adelaide and his memories
say that Adelaide did not lie about the experience of his appearances / visions also want to say that she was to describe the commemoration of Our Lady. His "I can see her mind" is a very vivid memory, imagination, and then the image belongs to the context of the ecstatic trance is not the same and different image imaginative, 1944, and therefore credible and free from false memories, deception, unconscious mental while fraud is excluded from self-conscious by the same route.
During the psychophysical tests faced by doctors at the time, Adelaide was then in a state of deep trance, especially the lack of reflection Guidance, although the heart rate (the pletismo has not been established) does not show high peaks in the same entry of trance, as shown in the tables compiled on the clinical findings. The memory of Don Cortez, however, is very problematic, since a distance of 44 years is still painfully experienced, even if he tries to excuse him in part: This honor goes to Adelaide, which attempts to soften that memory and experience that instead internally still live very badly, being therefore not of a wound healed, but still sore.
