ESP INDUCTION THROUGH SELF-HYPNOSIS ESP INDUCTION SELF-HYPNOSIS THROUGH Any student of paraphysics who is determined, disciplined and patient can draw on this theoretical model and practical, tried-and-tested self-hypnosis technique for inducing extrasensory perception. orking with current definitions of self-hypnosis, I have developed several postulates toward relating hypnosis to extrasensory perception (ESP). These include a mathematical formula on how to induce ESP via forms of self-hypnosis. A technique or method of induction is proposed which was challenged in a national tournament of experts; the results overwhelmed the competition by two orders of magnitude. Studies in Paranormal Fields In the late Fall of 1971, | was contacted by Ted Krueger of Seal Corporation in Amherst, Massachusetts. Seal Corp. was very interested in the ESP work being done by our Organization for the Advancement of Knowledge, Inc. (OAK, Inc.). By 1970, OAK had already developed into a "think-tank" for Boeing (also to include Battelle Pacific Northwest and Douglas United Nuclear). By 1972, it had grown into a large research group as a result of the Paraphysics (Natural Sciences) course I'd taught within the Experimental College at the University of Washington. OAK, Inc. developed out of that set of classes, with more than 450 people taking the Paraphysics course over a 12-week period. Other schools then offered this very popular course, including Evergreen Experimental College and three regional community colleges. From there, a number of the students wanted to go further and do some actual study in the paranormal field. Most of the members were graduate students or part of other think-tanks prior to OAK's invitation. By 1973, more than 25 scientists and six graduate students were working on various projects, primarily involving ESP and biofeedback studies. So, Seal Corp. wanted to develop supermen with skills verging on the paranormal. Its first ESP project was to create a subjective screening questionnaire geared toward those whose ability with guessing (ESP) was beyond normal inference. (Also known as standard deviation, normal inference is defined as 50 per cent for guessing the flip of a coin.) The questionnaire was designed to help identify those individuals in the top two per cent (over normal inference) and worthy of possible further training. The amount of data needed to confirm a strongly subjective questionnaire meant testing a tremendous number of subjects. The Good Samaritan Church of Seattle in the Highline District came to the rescue. More than 50 members (mostly housewives) helped test more than 25,000 individuals (mostly college students) during a one-year study. That group later became known as Sam-Psych, and it still exists as a study group in Seattle. It eventually helped develop other programs. One of these later programs was Project Parafile, an artificially intelligent computer database on an IBM 360, developed for Mankind Research Unlimited (MRU). MRU was a front organisation for naval intelligence agencies in producing controversial research through think-tanks, grant- by Richard Alan Miller © 2010 Northwest Botanicals, Inc. 1212 SW 5th Street Grants Pass, OR 97528, USA Email: rick@nwbotanicals.org Websites: http:/Awww.nwbotanicals.org http://www.richardalanmiller.com APRIL - MAY 2010 NEXUS ° 41 www.nexusmagazine.com
