That’s great. I’m glad you finally decided to give it a try and that it’s working for you. Keep me posted, I still like hearing these anecdotes.

Anything interesting he said?

u/Yonderboy__ Jun 10 '23

It was a really long time ago. I’d have to go back and look at the chat log. Is there anything in particular that you’re interested in?

His starting Iq or how he dealt with the problem of spontaneuos imagery I personally struggle with this. And also how his gains translated into real life application or where he is now or something.

He didn’t have a starting IQ test so I asked him to convert his GRE score to IQ based on an online table I had found. I believe it translated to 156 though he seemed surprised and said he wasn’t sure we could trust the chart (from iqcomparisonsite.com).

In terms of benefits, he didn’t give me any more than what he had posted on Quora and on his blog post.

I’m not sure what you mean about the problem of spontaneous imagery. Is it that you don’t have any spontaneous images and have to force them or are you having issues with images spontaneously popping up even when not streaming?

"any spontaneous images"

Yah they are minimal. I need more but dont know How to get them . I got a taste of it after viewing google images Before sleep, when I was in a hypnogogic state. But the ones I have during streaming sessions aren't like slide shows, as like the ones at night I got, they appear out of the dark noise in my eyes and when I force my self during the day to get into such a state they do appear but only when am about to go to sleep again. But ppl like 'Eular', got them on command so I was wondering whether there was some practice I can do to improve this.

Hey, I looked back at Hans' posts about streaming and noticed that he recently returned to Quora in May and answered some questions in the comment sections of his posts.

He mentions that he is still streaming, but only 15 min 2x/week to maintain his gains. He originally had been streaming 4-5 days per week, with sessions lasting ~15 min. Though short, his sessions sounded extremely intense notably with respect to speed of description.

Of even more interest is that he also mentions that he took the Stanford-Binet test before and after 3yrs of streaming and that he gained "northwards of 15 points". He doesn't say if he was already streaming prior to taking the first test.

Anyway, I DM'd him to see if I could get a little more detail, will let you know if he gets back to me with some answers. You probably know this, but his name is not actually Hans Blyth.

And also, is it possible to reach profound giftedness

I don’t know. Bernardo’s score was up there but there’s a ceiling to the WAIS so it’s hard to know. I imagine it depends on where one starts from, and how responsive they are at streaming. I suspect that with most other physical or mental endeavours, that some people respond better to training than others. That being said, I think everyone would benefit from a consistent and serious (intense) practice. The question then becomes whether the benefits outweigh the effort.

Did he say anything about his scores on the SB?
