Overview of my lecture
The nature of observations
Let’s do an experiment
How to handle observations well
Summary & discussion
Application: Why SE sounds better than PP

WHAT IS AN OBSERVATION?
we notice something
there comes a link between something being or happening and awareness in our being

8
THE NATURE OF OBSERVATIONS
where do we observe
SPI RI T
MATTER
US

9
THE NATURE OF OBSERVATIONS
two examples:
I am aware that .....
I “feel” that my child needs me
I “see” that the glass is broken
The borderline between spirit and matter is very thin;some say: “matter is condensed spirit”

THAT’S WHY I INTRODUCED IN 2007:
“VALVE AMP CREATION”
Q = The Devine “Quality”
F = Feeling (subconscious)
O and S = The Creator, us
A = The Creation, the Amplifier

11
THE NATURE OF OBSERVATIONS
conclusive:
Our being (consciousness) is involved
Our sensors (inclusive feeling) are involved
Almost no distinction between spirit and matter

12
ATTITUDE TOWARDS OBSERVATIONS
animal level (direct reactions like fear, fight, escape,..)
human level (action, description, study, neglect, research, joy, guilt, explanation, theory, ..)
We can think and consider, which makes us unique

EXPERIMENT mike amplification; listen to mid-high tonal character
filter 0: no filter
filter 1: high pass switch on mixer
filter 2: high pass switch on mike
observe changes in mid-high tonal character
Which filter resembles the best compared to without filter
(C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl
14
WHAT DID WE DO?
We repeated the observation to make our observation more sure
We improved the conditions to focus better
We drew a kind of conclusion
We started with an explanation
(C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl
15
THE NEXT STEPS
We compare our observation to what we know
Science also compares with literature
Based on that we decide for further action
(C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl
16
WHAT IS STRIKING
In this experiment I trust my observation THIS IS ESSENTIAL
It might be so that I do not know the explanation That will ask for more study Which probably will lead to new inventions
(C) ir. bureau Vanderveen bv www.mennovanderveen.nl
17
CONCLUSIVE
Never doubt your observations Try to repeat, to get more insight Compare to literature, discuss and so on
All great inventions are based on observations They are the basis of us

EXAMPLE: MICRO DETAILS
With SE amp I can hear micro details better than with PP
I hear more details with SE, even the smallest With PP I even don’t know such micro details
exist
This simple observation lead to new OPT demands and theory, which I will explain
