This is an "Eleanor White Book Review". Such reviews are not like what you see in the print media. My emphasis is to provide enough information that a mind control victim or supporter can make an intelligent decision as to whether to buy the book (or borrow it). This means most of the reviews are excerpted text, with comments inserted. This type of review is biased in favor of information relevant to mind control technology, and possible countermeasure experiments. Those who are interested in psychic phenomena outside of a mind control context should obtain this book for detailed information.

This book is a COMBINED PRINTING of two books by these authors:

- Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain, 1970
- Psychic Discoveries: The Iron Curtain Lifted, 1997

Note: In the excerpted text from the book, emphasis by way of ALL UPPER CASE LETTERS is mine. The reason for such emphasis is to point up information particularly relevant to mind control.

## Chapter 9: The Telepathic Knockout

### (1970 material)

[p 89]

The piano player swung into a waltz. A young woman leaned back in the arms of her partner and began to swirl around the polished dance floor of a Black Sea resort. In an anteroom, Dr. K. I. Platonov, a psychologist, put his hand to his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly in mid-step, the dancing woman fell into a deep hypnotic trance. Platonov telepathically cut in on the waltzing woman, Miss M.

At the 1924 All-Russian Congress of Psychoneurologists, Platonov again knocked out Miss M. telepathically, before a hall full of scientists. The vivacious young woman sat onstage, chatting so she thought, with a panel of doctors as they waited fro a hypnotic demonstration to get under way. Platonov stood out of sight behind a large blackboard. He put his hand to his brow as a signal to the audience and Miss M. suddenly slumped asleep. Then he woke her up, then he put her under again.

[p 89-90]

Platonov had found more than an exotic way to cure insomnia with his telepathic whammy. The ability to put people to sleep and wake them up telepathically from a distance of a few yards to over a thousand miles became the most thoroughly tested and perfected contribution of the Soviets to international parapsychology. It is the Soviet experiment. The ability to control a person's consciousness with telepathy is being mined today [1970 material] in Leningrad and Moscow labs. The sleep-wake test, however, gained a long and intriguing scientific pedigree before it was finally revealed in the 1960s.

Shortly after the 1924 convention, something unusual happened to a nineteen year old Kharkov coed. "When are the experiments going to begin, Professor Dzelichovsky?" the young university student asked her physics teacher. She was exasperated with curiosity. Over a month ago, he'd asked her to be the subject in some very important tests. It was a flattering request. Yet when she once again asked him about it, he simply said the equipment was delayed and went on talking about the solution he was pouring into a test tube.

Back to Table of Contents

[EW: Mind control victims note the paragraph below!]

Professor A. V. Dzelichovsky often invited her to the laboratory during the long wait. He acted almost like a private tutor, never too busy to see her or to talk - to talk about everything except the experiments she was supposed to star in. Finally the curious girl found herself dropping in at the lab at any odd hour. "Is there any particular reason you've come?" Dzelichovsky would ask. All she could do was flush and stammer, "No ... no, I just felt like it."

Back to Table of Contents

Unknown to herself, the coed had already starred in some very special experiments. As Professor Dzelichovsky made what he hoped was diverting small talk about the test tube he handed his student, he suddenly saw her eyelids flutter, then close. Her breathing slowed, becoming deep, regular. She'd fallen sound asleep.

Down the hall, K. D. Kotkov, a psychologist, also had his eyes shut. He was far from asleep, although he mentally repeated, "sleep, sleep," over and over. At the same time Kotkov vividly imagined the girl's face. The most important ingredient in this bid for secret telepathic control, Kotkov found, was WISHING. He wished the girl asleep until he felt a "sort of ecstasy of triumph. Then I knew she was asleep." He noted the time and got set to awaken her.

The young student blinked awake, the test tube still in her hand, and resumed talking with the elated but somewhat stunned Dzelichovsky. The experiment worked! And the girl DID NOT REALIZE ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED.

[p 90-91]

During the two month test run Kotkov was able to telepathically knock the girl out from the opposite side of town. Telepathy had also lay behind her compulsion to drip in on Professor Dzelichovsky. Home in his apartment, Dr. Kotkov mentally directed her to the laboratory. To avoid the possibility that she might drop in spontaneously or, however unlikely, simply snooze off in the middle of a sentence, the professors timed the tests with military precision.

Kotkov tried to telepathically obliterate the girl's consciousness thirty times. He never failed.

The girl, asleep, frozen upright, clutching a test tube, looked as if she were in a trance. The Russians later found that one can, to some extent, talk to and question a person in telpathic sleep, just as if he were under hypnosis. Is telepathy actually hypnosis a few paces removed? Not exactly, say the Soviets. [1970 material] The mechanisms that turn off your will and turn on trance are different. Hypnosis, according to the Soviets, springs generally from language, suggestive words and commands. The telepathic force that knocks you out is generally operated like Kotkov holding strong visual IMAGES of you.

Telepathic hypnosis sparkles at the heart of the abundant experiments Dr. Vasiliev painstakingly carried out, but couldn't reveal, under Stalin's regime. The reality of telepathic sleep-wake, backed by columns of data, was to many the most astonishing part of Vasiliev's Experiments in Mental Suggestion, finally published in 1962.

A very bright physiologist, the young Leonid Vasiliev with his full dark hair, strong featured and good looking, possessed a character to match his leonine appearance. He was tenacious and bold in his research. His mind roamed easily through the realms of many disciplines. And as it turned out, he showed a kind of personal nobility in not skewing the truth at a time when it could have been, and perhaps was, so much to his detriment to hold on to his chunk of it.

Theories about the material waves that piggyback telepathic communication from one brain to another buzzed in Vasiliev's head when, in 1932, he was given a task he relished. Stalin was already in tight fisted control. Word came down to the famous Bekhterev Brain Institute, where Vasiliev worked, to get to the bottom of telepathy. Again, no one has ever clarified where word came from except that it was from the very top. Soviet scientists were to unmask a mystery of the ages. They would show the world that telepathy trundles along well known physical waves. [EW: This is a sarcastic statement.]

[p 92]

First of all, Vasiliev needed telepathy, telepathy that would click on and off in a lab like a light beam to be probed and pulled apart into wavelengths. Gifted mediums were scarce. Besides, Vasiliev needed an unquestionable demonstration of telepathy, on that could be turned readily into a statistic. Vasiliev's answer was, of course, the exquisitely simple telepathic trance.

Vasiliev and his colleagues, I. F. Tomashevsky, a physiologist, and Dr. A. V. Doubrovsky, a psychiatrist, came up with two good female subjects: Ivanova and Fedorova, both twenty five year old neurotic patients of Doubrovsky's. Unlike the Kharkov girl, when the experiments began, Ivanova knew something was happening. She lay on a cot. Electrodes on her right hand traced electric skin currents not under conscious control. In her left hand she held a balloon like apparatus. "Keep squeezing it steadily," they told her. In another room impulses from both devices registered on a graph. If she fell asleep the spiking lines would level out.

The scientists telepathically put the women to sleep countless times in a three year period, from room to room, from building to building. They even wired the balloon apparatus to Ivanova's radio at home, so they could catch the signal in their labs. [??] While she lay in her own bed they knocked her out telepathically. As consciousness flicked off and on again in Ivanova and Fedorova, Vasiliev set up traps for the telepathic waves. He tried to catch "Cazzamalli waves," named for the Italian neurologist who claimed to have detected radio waves crackling out of people when they imagined themselves in violent scenes, such as charging out of a trench with a bayonet. Vasiliev, tuning up and down the specified wavelengths, heard not a crackle.

[p 92-93]

Back to Table of Contents

[EW: The following paragraph is very important for mind control targets who are considering shielding experiments to read.]

Still, there were plenty of other waves. Vasiliev shut Ivanova into an iron Faraday cage that barred electromagnetic waves. Telepathy went on as usual. The scientists were beginning to worry. If telepathy didn't prove to have a physical basis, it would have to join other emigres from the Soviet Union. Vasiliev built a lead capsule, a barrier even to [ionizing, like xray] radiation. Tomashevsky, the sender, climbed a stepladder and slid into what looked like an oversize antique refrigerator. He lowered the heavy domed lid. It settled into a gully filled with mercury until the capsule was perfectly sealed. No waves could move in or out. Surely telepathy would not happen. Tomashevsky pictured Fedorova asleep inside the Faraday cage. She lost consciousness. This knockout telepathy actually seemed to work somewhat better inside all the leaden shields.

"We were dumbfounded!" Vasiliev wrote. "We were ourselves as if hypnotized by these unexpected results!" With the single mindedness of men trying to isolate a new element in an unwieldy chunk of ore, the dedicated parapsychologists set out to discredit their own work. They tried to prove that conditioned response knocked the subjects out, not telepathy. This attempt failed and they tried their telepathy on new subjects - a teacher, a laborer, a student, an interpreter. Still they found consciousness could be blanked telepathically.

Vasiliev knew electromagnetic waves diminish with mileage. He dispatched Tomashevsky to Sevastopol, a Crimean seaside resort more than a thousand miles due south. For once, Ivanova didn't know she was in an experiment. She appeared at the psychotherapeutic clinic for her usual session with Dr. Doubrovsky. They talked through the hour and nothing happened. Not the curve of the Earth but a more common obstacle to travellers blocked telepathy. Tomashevsky felt too sick to keep his date. He had recovered by Ivanova's next appointment. Standing alone on the boardwalk, Tomashevsky concentrated. A thousand miles away, Ivanova lost consciousness on schedule as she talked to Dr. Doubrovsky.

Ironically, the tireless Vasiliev had built what is still the world's best proof that (known) electromagnetic waves do NOT carry telepathy. "We fully appreciate," Vasiliev wrote in 1937, "the responsibility involved in reaching such a conclusion." The news didn't hit the world until toward the end of his life, Vasiliev was able to publish his Experiments in Mental Suggestion. "I did the best I could, let those who can do better," read the inscription of Vasiliev's long delayed, explosive book.

[p 93-94]

Now parapsychologists in Leningrad and Moscow are once more into the telepathic manipulation of consciousness, this time recording successes with the EEG. In Radio Techniks, Dr. Ippolit Kogan told other scientists about a girl, Olya, hypnotized normally, then attached to the EEG. In a separate room the telepathic sender, Dr. Vladimir L. Raikov, was also hooked to an EEG. At random moments he was signalled to awake Olya with ESP. Raikov managed to think Olya awake six out of eleven times. Edward Naumov reported a similar series. Telepathy work up the subject six out of eight times. Naumov remarked that as soon as the telepathic "wake up" is sent, trance becomes less and less deep, full consciousness returning in twenty to thirty seconds. In the Leningrad laboratory of Dr. Pavel Gulyaiev, friends of subjects have been trained to put them to sleep telepathically.

Telepathic sleep - or is it trance? Are you simply out, or do you dream your private dreams? Or does something else hold sway? The Soviets [1970 material] have skimped on divulging psychological details about their telepathic manipulation of consciousness. But Vasiliev made some revelations worth noting. Fedorova and Ivanova could be questionned while under telepathic trance. They often knew who was psychically blanking them out. For the first time in two years, Vasiliev mentally forced Fedorova to sleep. Asked in a trance what happened, she said, "Vasiliev is creeping into my head..." Rooms away, Vasiliev decided to think of a bird, a vulture. "Vasiliev," Fedorova went on, "his eyes bulge like a rooster. He's sitting at a circular table. [That was correct.] He did it. He took everything from me." When Vasiliev started to bring her around telepathically, the still entranced Fedorova said, "Stop it, Professor Vasiliev. I'll have to wake up - I don't want to."

Not only does this kind of telepathy throw a person into a trance, but it also seems to open up a good channel of communication. Asked about this weird connection, the woman said it was LIKE A TELEPHONE, or like being at the end of a ball of yarn, attached to a string that could ravel them up or play them out.

Current Russian researchers don't discuss who can be entranced telepathically. According to the older scientists, if you can be lulled into deep hypnosis (about 20 percent of us can) you might be put to sleep from afar telepathically. Nevertheless, Dr. Platonov estimated that only four out of a hundred can regularly be blanked out with telepathy.

The Soviets perfected and carried and certified the reality of telepathic trance, but they never claimed to have discovered it. The French did that. Some of the earliest records of this sort of psychic hanky-panky, featured Leonie B., A fifty year old French peasant from Brittany who was a variously talented medium.

[p 94-95]

One particular experiment with Leonie has all the unhinging allure of a Marx Brothers movie, circa 1886. It happened one night after dinner in Le Havre. Around the table sat much of the cream of European psychical research: Pierre Janet, psychologist and one of the fathers of French parapsychology; his collaborator, Dr. M. Gibert; Julius Ochorovicz, still remembered as Poland's most famous psychic researcher; England's Frederic Myers, cofounder of the British Society for Psychical Research; and two scholars of almost equal repute.

The six decided to see if Gibert could put Leonie into a trance at a distance, a feat he'd done on other occasions, and if he could summon the entranced woman to him. They synchronized their pocket watches. Then Gibert retired to his study; the others made for Leonie's cottage two thirds of a mile across town. Keeping to the shadows, they surrounded the house. "At that time," Ochorovicz wrote, "there was no one but Leonie and a cook who was not expecting any activity on our part. Right on schedule, Leonie stepped outside and walked to the garden gate. Ochorovicz, skulking behind the corner of the cottage, was happy to see her eyes were shut tight. But Leonie turned around and re-entered the house. Ochorovicz noted later that the sender, Gibert, "as a result of the strain of thinking, fainted - or dozed off."

Soon Leonie reappeared walking fast - so fast she almost tangles with Professor Janet, who'd popped out of his hiding spot. "Fortunately she didn't notice her surroundings, or at least she didn't recognize us."

For ten minutes Leonie, eyes shut, hurried along, successfully "avoiding street lamps and traffic." None of the other pedestrians seemed to notice anything unusual about Leonie, according to Myers. Perhaps they were too busy gawking at the gaggle of high collared note takers trailing behind.

Suddenly, Leonie faltered; she looked confused. (Why? Because Gibert had decided the whole experiment was useless and started to play billiards.) Then Leonie picked up speed again. (He'd changed his mind and resumed sending.)

The pack jotting at her heels, Leonie arrived at her destination just as Gibert, wondering what had become of everybody, rushed out the door. They collided head on.

[p 95-96]

Leonie climbed over the confused Gibert and pressed on into the house. She ran from room to room saying sorrowfully, "Where is he? Where is he?" She searched upstairs and down, surrounded by six nimble footed scholars, each trying not to be tagged. Finally Gibert sank into a chair and mentally called her.

"She takes him by the arm," Ochorovicz recorded. "She is seized with great joy!" So was Ochorovicz, who was at last convinced you surely could influence people at a distance.

[EW: An important paragraph for mind control targets]

If any current [1970s material] Soviet scientists have lived through such woolly moments summoning a person across Moscow, they don't talk about it. But they have occasionally mentioned efforts to guide someone's movements with telepathy inside their labs. On a closed circuit TV, the Popov parapsychologists watched watched an entranced subject in an isolated room. CAN ESP NOT ONLY KNOCK HIM OUT BUT ALSO KNOCK HIM DOWN? Can they telepathically guide the direction - front, back, this side or that - of his fall?

"In one test series," Edward Naumov recorded, "the subject was made to fall TEN OUT OF TEN TIMES. And he fell in the direction commanded telepathically eight out of ten times." Naumov mentioned casually that over a thousand people have been tested in the last few years in these knockout and knock down experiments.

Guiding a person psychically, the way you guide a missile electronically, was taken a step further with Karl Nikolaiev, according to a report given by the respected Dr. Kogan, in Radio Technology and at a conference on "Scientific Problems of Bio-Information" at the Soviet Academy Moscow House of Scientists attended by over seven hundred scientists. Naumov, who apparently has some psi talent of his own, sent. Nikolaiev, fully conscious, attempted to let Naumov guide him around the room containing ten targets. "We had feedback in this test," Kogan said, meaning that Naumov, in another room, listened as Karl reported over a one way microphone the direction he was walking. This hookup allowed Naumov to try to mentally correct any errors in Karl's aim while he was in motion. In twenty six different attempts, Naumov guided Karl to the target thirteen times. The probabilities of doing this by chance are, according to Kogan, infinitely small.

[p 96-97]

Vasiliev and his colleagues were like prospectors sifting electromagnetic waves. The gold they hunted was the "mechanism" of telepathy. Instead of "gold" they ended up with "copper" in the form of the handy, all purpose sleep-wake test. Vasiliev used it as a specimen of telepathy to dissect, as he would explore a frog in physiology experiments. But the test he perfected may have the makings of a far more lively, interesting future within it. Manipulating someone else's consciousness with telepathy, guiding him in a trance ... colorful uses are too easy to conjure. Try espionage. You force a mental whammy on the general's aide-de-camp. You give him posthypnotic suggestions to pull this lever, steal these papers. He wakes up, unaware that like the Kharkov coed, that anything has happened. Miss M. fell into a trance while waltzing, but what if Miss M. had been driving a car, piloting a plane, standing sentry duty?

[EW: An important paragraph for mind control targets]

This is the facile fantasy of supersonic thrillers. But wouldn't it be naive to assume no researcher has ever thought of such potential uses for telepathy? The famous Soviet, Wolf Messing, with his widely attested ability to influence the minds of others, commented in his autobiography on the time he managed to walk out of a building, past guards ordered to stop him. "This and similar cases should make us reconsider the often-advanced opinion that nobody would perform under hypnosis an act opposed to his convictions. I am sure the guards would have not let me pass as myself, but, using my mental power, I made them see me as the high official whom they would let out without a pass. Similarly, a man under hypnosis can be told to shoot a rabbit when in fact he would be shooting at a man."

In the main, what the Soviets are probably seeking in their exploration of ESP's effect on consciousness is CONTROL in a more generalized, everyday, pervasive sense. You hear the word CONTROL often in the U.S.S.R., [1970 material] not as a political concept but in its comparatively upbeat, scientific meaning. As a Moscow scientist told us, "Science has learned to control outer nature to the great benefit of mankind. Now we are trying to learn the laws governing inner nature. Just as an understanding of outer nature allowed us, for example, to generate electricity to light huge cities, so the ability to control the untapped resources of man should bring equally amazing benefits."

Control of schizophrenia is a good thing. Control of a person's attitudes to another person, race, or nation is not.

[p 97-98]

Czech biochemist Dr. Milan Ryzl stated in Psychic, "The bulk of recent telepathy research in the U.S.S.R. is concerned with the transmission of behavior impulses - or research to SUBLIMINALLY CONTROL AN INDIVIDUAL'S CONDUCT."

Visiting Soviet psi labs, Dr. Ryzl says he was told by a Russian, "When suitable means of propaganda are cleverly used, it is possible to mold any man's so that in the end he may misuse his abilities while remaining convinced that he is serving an honest purpose."

## Chapter 26: Psychotronic Generators - Psychic Machines?

### (1970 material)

[p 285]

The next thing we saw, the climax of our stay in Czechoslovakia, sounds fantastic and is fantastic - but it may be genuine. We were confronted with a gallery of objects - burnished and gleaming, rough and pebbled, steel, bronze, copper, iron, gold - "PSYCHOTRONIC GENERATORS" that do the impossible. We saw them demonstrated in a film shown by Czech scientists at the International Parapsychology Conference in Moscow. We held these psychotronic generators, heavy in our hands. We worked one of them ourselves.

What are they all about? There isn't an easy answer. The Czechs start out explaining them this way: "Human beings and all living things are filled with with a kind of energy that until recently hasn't been known to Western science. This bioenergy, which we call psychotronic energy, seems to be behind PK (psychokinesis); it may be the basis of dowsing. It may prove to be involved in all psychic happenings. The psychotronic generators draw this bioenergy from a person, accumulate it, and use it. Once charged with your energy, the generators can do some of the things a psychic can do." That was the first door they opened for us into the mystery. There were corridors to come.

[p 285-86]

The psychotronic generator, or Pavlita generator as it is sometimes called after its inventor, sprang in part from antique manuscripts and forgotten discoveries, old learning combined with the knowledge of modern science. The idea of a bioenergy is an old one.

The ancient Chinese said that you are not a machinelike collection of parts, but a powerhouse of unusual energy. They called it "chi" or "ki" - a Life Force or Vital Energy. The universe, too, they said, is suffused with Vital Energy, and thus you are linked with the Cosmos.

Next door in India, the Ancient Hindus spoke of this vital force in you which they named Prana. Modern Yoga is based on the idea of Prana. But if this vital or "X" energy is more than a philosophical concept, how come no one in the West ever stumbled across it?

"They did," the Czechs said. Many "discoverers" caused a momentary flurry with their new energy, then were forgotten or, at best, remembered as cranks as Western science hurried on to its great technological flowering. The chard shows only the most famous discoverers. There have been many others. They all came to their finding by different paths, and they all gave "it" a different name, but surprisingly, they very often agree on the characteristic of this supposed energy in you:

[p 287]

In the Soviet Union groups of pure scientists were looking into a "new discovery" - a vital, previously unknonwn energy connected with living beings. "Bioplasmic Energy" is their name for it. But the Russians have a big plus going for them. Thanks to the Kirlian disovery (detailed in chapters 16, 17, and 18), bioplasmic energy can be seen by anyone, in photographs and electron microscopes. It can be scientifically observed and studied as it swirls in sparkling flares of color. Twentieth century scientists, with their tracking and charting devices, lifted the atom of the ancient Greeks out of the realm of philosophy and into the realm of the actual, making it a practical energy. Perhaps the Soviets starting with the Kirlian apparatus will do the same for the Vital Energy of ancient cultures. Or perhaps the Czechs will, with their psychotronic generators. They, too, have made a rediscovery.

Robert Pavlita, gray haired in his mid fifties [this was in 1970], was an inventor and design director for a large Czech textile plant. In person, very much the no nonsense, efficient business man, Pavlita has for thirty years worked privately on psychotronic generators. He believes they run on this newly discovered energy.

Pavlita's name reached the West amid a mishmash of confusion. "Czech businessman is fine PK medium." Then, "Pavlita has no PK ability." Is he or isn't he? Sitting in parapsychology offices in America, there was no way to tell. The story behind the reports shows how the confusion got started. After thirty years of experimenting, Pavlita went to Hradec Kralove University, east of Prague. An electrophysiologist, a physicist, and eventually the entire physics department tested him.

Back to Table of Contents

The scientists set up experiments with a device designed by Pavlita. Inside a tightly sealed metal box a spike revolved, run by an electric motor beneath. On top of the turning spike the scientist had balanced a copper strip. It looked like the letter T. The only other thing inside the box was a small metallic object in one corner, not connected to anything. The revolutions of the copper strip were recorded photoelectrically.

Pavlita, as the scientists watched, stood about six feet away from the contraption. He concentrated, stared hard at it. Suddenly the copper strip stood still, as though some force were holding it, counteracting the turning rod. The entire device was even magnetically screened.

[p 288]

Pavlita continued to stare. The witnesses watched intently. Slowly the copper strip began turning - this time in the opposite direction. It looked as if some invisible force inside the sealed case were pushing it, spinning it in the opposite direction to the revolving rod that held it. For two years the scientists tested Pavlita.

"PK! A fraud proof demonstration of PK", wrote British journalist Theo Lang who'd heard of Pavlita and flown in to witness a demonstration. The scientists agree that it was a fraud proof demonstration of SOMETHING, but what? They couldn't find any known force that could cause the strip to stop and reverse as Pavlita stared. It sounds like PK but it isn't - not exactly.

Pavlita maintains he is a technologist operating a form of energy, clicking it on and off, directing it, as any technologist would direct and energy like electricity. The small unconnected device inside the sealed box is a psychotronic generator. Supposedly, as Pavlita stares, his bioenergy is drawn into the generator, which accumulates and directs it. The Czechs believe many people could have PK ability this way, with the generator functioning as go between.

Back to Table of Contents

Pavlita's early PK test was a demonstration that this so called vital, psychotronic energy could be harnessed and directed at will. But all its discoverers claim this is a vast universal energy. The Czechs told us, tried to show us, that even at this stage of discovery they can do much more than just duplicate PK.

The prime question for all the Westerners who've come up against this vital or psychotronic energy for the past five hundred years is, what does it do?

Paracelsus, the Reanaissance alchemist and physician, reported this energy radiated from one person to another and could act at a distance. He believed it could purify the body and restore health, or could poison the body and cause disease. Dr. van Helmont, the seventeenth century Flemish chemist and physician, believed the energy could enable one person to affect another at a distance. The famous German chemist, Baron von Reichenbach, said the energy could be stored and that substances could be charged with it. Unknown to Reichenbach, the Polynesian practitioners of Huna agreed that the Vital Energy could be transferred from humans to objects.

Back to Table of Contents

[p 288-89]

Other researchers into this now-and-then rediscovered human energy reported that it could even MOVE objects at a distance - in other words, PK. According to the British medical magazine Lancet for July 30, 1921, Dr. Charles Russ, M.R.C.S., showed the Opthalmic Congress at Oxford in 1921 that with a proper apparatus a person could cause a solenoid to move by gazing at it.

Through the years, varied researchers came up with "facts" about this supposedly nonexistent energy. It could be reflected, refracted, polarized and combined with other energies. It could, many reported, create effects similar to magnetism, electricity, heat, and luminous radiations, but was in itself none of these. It conducts slower than electricity, but can build up something similar to an electrostatic charge. It was said this odd energy from humans could be conducted by paper, wood, wool, silk, and many substances that are electrical insulators. And this fabled energy that flowed from people seemed somehow involved with psychic things.

It really does sound like the creaking plot of an old mystic horror movie - the secrets of the ancients revived. The flickering occult shadows that seem to automatically attach themselves to such an idea may be one reason our scientists have never given the matter a serious look. But the Czechs are willing to examine FACTS. After hearing experimental reports on the psychotronic generators, the Central Committee of the Czech Communist Party approved research. It was also backed by the Czech Academy of Science.

In Moscow, at the session of the Parapsychology Conference held in the Czech embassy, we were introduced to the world of the psychotronic generator. The leader of the Czech delegation, Dr. Zdenek Rejdak, who works [1970 material] for the military, explained, "Everybody has psychic abilities, but most of the time we are unaware of them. The psychic force lies dormant or is blocked, making telepathy or PK a rarity. To cause psychic powers to work, we need something to evoke them or reinforce them. If we assume human or other living things give off a certain energy, then we might be able to accumulate it. If so, we can have work carried out by the energy. ESP needn't be a rarity then. It could work all the time under any conditions." Later he told us, "I've heard that the UNITED STATES IS ALSO THINKING ABOUT MAKING MACHINES TO DO THIS."

[p 290]

The Czechs showed a very memorable documentary film created by one of their major movie studios. Like the tour de force Czech films that have dazzled crowds across America, this science film was artistically executed, right down to the electronic music. The content, for a science film, was even more dazzling. One after another, the camera lit up what seemed to be modern sculptures - gleaming forms that could have been created by Brancusi, or more intricate ones perhaps by Dali. Other objects looked like precision cut compontents for machines that hadn't been invented yet, spare parts from 2001 [1970 material]. Still other small metal and wood sculptures were reminiscent of these "ritual objects" set out by museums of the world, from the British Museum in London to the little, dusty museums of Asian Turkey and southern Egypt. But these are not sculptures; the objects aren't in a museum. This is an ordinary apartment in a small town in Czechoslovakia. The devices sitting on the table supposedly collect psychotronic energy given off by living things. The human beings donating their "energy" to the generators in the film are the designer Robert Pavlita and his daughter Jana.

Back to Table of Contents

"The generators accumulate human energy," we were told during the film. "Then they carry out work. There are different types of generators for different types of work." We're shown a rotor being turned by an electric motor. Robert Pavlita and his daughter Jana place a needle on the revolving rotor. A psychotronic generator is aimed at the needle. The supposedly nonexistent energy makes the needle stop turning.

Next we cut to an apparatus that looks like a fat screwdriver. Just as Nelya Mikhailova apparently builds up some sort of energy that attracts matches, glass, bread, this Pavlita generator draws small bits of substance to itself. "The force of attraction depends on the amount of energy accumulated in the generator," the Czechs state. It looks like electrostatic energy - the force you get when you rub a comb on wool, turning it into a "magnet" that picks up paper and other light things. Static electricity doesn't work under water. The Pavlita generator is placed in water; still it attracts and lifts bits and pieces of nonmagnetic material.

[p 290-91]

As if to confirm our feeling that these generators are reminiscent of something seen before, the film shifts to scenes from ancient Egyptian texts. The eye of the camera focusses and stays on the Egyptian ankh, the sacred symbol of life.

It is reported that commissions of experts from the Czechoslovakian Academy of Science and the University of Hradec Kralove - physicists, electronics experts, radio technicians, electrophysiologists, and mathematicians - all investigated the psychotronic generators. We're shown a generator whose force turns a small blade. They've tested to eliminate static electricity, air currents, temperature changes. The blade turns. The blade doesn't react to a strong magnet. The experts test with magnetic fields. They make no difference. The "vital energy" that supposedly philosophical concept, continues to turn the blade. We see them cover the entire device with a glass cylinder. Nevertheless, it moves. We're told they've suspended it in water. Still it revolves.

Back to Table of Contents

Dr. Julius Krmessky, an outstanding Czech mathematician and physicist, tackled this unexplained energy radiating from humans and published an important scientific paper for the Chair of Physics of the Pedagogical Institute of Trnava. Krmessky calculated the force required to make the blade turn at 1.2 x 10E-3 dynes. "It can't be heat or air," he reports. THE RADIATION GOES RIGHT THROUGH GLASS, WATER, WOOD, CARDBOARD, ANY TYPE OF METAL - EVEN IRON - AND ITS STRENGTH DOESN'T DIMINISH AT ALL. Furthermore, the mind seems to control this energy."

[p 291-92]

Returning to the film, the camera shifts to pans of bean seeds divided into experimental and control groups. Another psychotronic generator, a studded metal square supporting a coiled, bore like neck, is directed at one of the pans of seeds. Days later, the plants developing from the "radiated" seeds are easily seen to be almost double the size of those from the "untreated" seeds. This is something we have seen before, notably at McGill University in Montreal. In an excruciatingly well controlled series of tests, Dr. Bernard Grad showed that seedlings watered with a flask of saline solution previously held in the hands of a well known healer grew fuller and higher plants than seeds watered with unheld saline solution. The Czechs had said that psychotronic energy was the "X" force behind many psychic mysteries.

Back to Table of Contents

The film gave close ups on other tests, pointing to practical uses for psychotronic generators. Sealed bottles of dye-filled polluted water from a textile factory are irradiated with psychotronic energy from the Pavlita generators. In twelve hours the water is clear. The pollutant seems to have crystallized and fallen to the bottom of the flasks. A signed, official chemical analysis of the water by an independent laboratory flashes on the screen. "This purification of polluted water could not have been done by a chemical purifier," it concludes. What was not said in the film, but told to us later by one of the scientists involved, is something more extraordinary. "Analysis found that whatever the energy was, it had caused a change in the actual molecular structure of the water itself! The two hydrogen atoms spread farther apart."

This rang a bell too. We'd been told by a reputable scientific source in the United States that a well known American chemical lab studied water that had been held in a sealed flask by a healer. Word had it that there seemed to be a molecular change in this water, a spreading of the bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen.

"This is only an infinitesimal part of the Pavlita experiments conducted by the inventor and many other scientists in Czechoslovakia. The psychotronic generators have obtained results in telekinesis, telepathy, clairvoyance tests." TELEPATHY? But that was the end of the movie.

None of the westerners (ourselves very much included) seemed to know what to make of this Merlin like Czech with his artful device, that seemed to have few if any moving parts, yet drew a wondrous, invisible energy from human beings.

Dr. Genady Sergeyev, the Leningrad neurophysiologist, commented at the conference, "The Pavlita work shows it is possible TO TRANSFER ENERGY FROM LIVING BODIES TO NONLIVING MATTER. The most important influence of this energy is on water. In fact, we use this very principle in the development of the detectors that examine the fields around Mrs. Mikhailova during PK."

[p 292-293]

Later we learned a Russian scientist, after seeing the Pavlita film, had tried to build a generator on his own. "He made it out of the wrong material,", said Dr. Rejdak. "It was very crude, but I'm told it did work. He wanted us to tell him a lot more about the generators after that."

We wanted to be told a lot more too. When we got to Prague, we inundated the scientists with questions about Pavlita and psychotronics.

### The Secret's in the Form
(1970 material)

[p 293]

"I first met Robert Pavlita about four years ago," Dr. Rejdak told us. "Word of his generators had somehow reached England. A British journalist came over, saw a generator in action, and wrote quite a story. Of course, our press got wind of it and rushed into print with a rash of controversial articles. It caused a tremendous sensation. You see, the government didn't know anything about the generators. They were as surprised as the public. The whole subject of Pavlita and biological radiation WAS HUSHED UP, and a number of scientists, including myself, were asked to investigate. Following our reports, Pavlita has been rehabilitated."

Rejdak is nicely qualified to investigate. Apart from being a psychologist, he has also specialized in physiology and worked in parapsychology for years with the famous Czech sculptor and psychic researcher Bretislav Kafka. His judgement seemed well respected by other scientists in Czechoslovakia and the other Communist countries. What had he uncovered in his investigations of Pavlita that convinced him it was not a fraud?

Before we could even get to that question, we wanted to start at the beginning. "Where did Pavlita get the inspiration for his generators?" We wondered if the Egyptian scenes in the movie could possibly have been meant as more than an artistic touch.

"Pavlita got the idea from studying many very old texts." Which ones? The Czechs smiled and shook their heads. "We're sorry, we can't tell you that yet." This didn't give us much to go on. Czechoslovakia is awash with forgotten treatises and antique books. Manuscripts that haven't been thumbed for centuries wait in the state libraries and in the collections of the medieval castles and even still turn up in second hand bookstores.

[p 294]

"One of our main problems with the psychotronic generators right now," the Czechs went on, "is that they are not fully patented yet. Naturally, Pavlita doesn't want to let the plans get out."

Robert Pavlita realizes the value of patents. Years ago he invented a new process for the textile industry. Royalties rolled in from the Socialist bloc and Western Europe, particularly West Germany. "Fortunately Pavlita was able to use these rather considerable royalties for his research into psychotronic energy. No one else would finance the work at the beginning."

The Czechs weren't about to give us a do it yourself generator kit. But they were willing to open doors trying to give us a sensible view of psychotronics. The next door they opened is the most mind teasing.

"The secret of the generators is their FORM. [EW: Like 'sacred geometry'?] That's the key thing Pavlita gleaned in his studies. It's the shape that lets you accumulate this energy and turn it to whatever purposes you want." Now we understood why they were so hooked on the lighthearted pyramid razor blade sharpener. There, too, the "secret" is supposedly the form.

Back to Table of Contents

"In some ways the principle of the generators is like art. You make generators out of one sort of material to do one thing and out of a different sort to do another. It's the juxtaposition of materials within a specific form that makes it work. Pavlita uses copper, iron, gold, steel, brass, various kinds of metals, and sometimes even wood. Most generators are a carefully formulated COMBINATION OF METALS.

"When we first saw these generators," said Rejdak, "some of the other scientists were baffled. But I happen to be familiar with the research done by Reichenbach, and I realized that Pavlita's work was along the same lines. It's an extension of Reichenbach's idea of an odoscope, but modernized and far, far more sophisticated." (Reichenbach invented an odoscope apparatus which supposedly could collect what he called "odic force," "an all pervasive energy.")

[p294-95]

"Aside from generators that accumulate energy from living things, we also have generators that accumulate 'cosmic energy' or energy from the environment. The pyramid's an example of a generator that works on cosmic energy."

Apparently the Czech psychotronic energy (like the old Chinese Vital Energy) springs from living things and from the cosmos, as do in the environment "cosmic electricity" and bioelectricity from the human body.

If you had a generator, how would you charge it with your own energy?

"The energy doesn't come from a particular organ in your body. It comes from your entire force field, so to speak. Many of the generators have a certain staring pattern carved into them to help concentration and conduction of the energy."

Here's another old idea, the staring pattern that is now tacked up in rooms across America as a result of the influx of Eastern philosophy, the staring pattern that is said to boost concentration and release psychic or spiritual power. The Czechs maintain that this power, handled correctly, can amp up a geranium plant or run a small motor.

Back to Table of Contents

Do you have to keep a specific thought in your mind while trying to charge a generator? "No. You don't have to think anything in particular or will your energy into the generator. Staring in pattern is enough to direct the force, if the generator is properly made. Now we've developed automatic generators that work WITHOUT staring. WE believe they can collect biological energy from anything living - human, animal, plant. Tests are scheduled to see if they can accumulate energy from something as basic as a fertilized egg.

If energy is really being drawn from you, don't you get tired?

"There's only a very slight aftereffect, but it's stronger if emotion is involved. There are changes while you're charging it." The Czechs did EEG tests on Pavlita's daughter while she charged a generator. They found an "unusual pattern". Soviet scientist Dr. Genady Sergeyev, who flew in and tested Robert and Jana Pavlita with EEGs and other monitoring devices while they charged generators, said there was a change in the structure of the biological fields around their bodies. He reports, "There was unstable, cold electronic plasma in the brain. During certain phases of brain activity, magnetic, electric, and other types of waves were given off."

[p 295-96]

"Look," said the Czechs, "you can try a simple test for yourself before we leave for Pavlita's." Dr. Rejdak dug a box out of a drawer in his desk. Inside the box was a small round stick of wood about four inches long that looked like a cuticle stick, pointed at both ends.

Back to Table of Contents

"This was made two years ago, under pressure, by a special process. It was charged by a generator so that it is able to channel the biological energy of a person."

He handed the stick to one of us and scattered, on the coffee table, small fragments: aluminum, salt, tin, stone, iron, crystal, et cetera, about the size of one's little fingernail. Some were magnetic, some weren't. We looked over the stick - no trace of adhesive or anything else on it. No friction was applied. Neither Rejdak nor either of us rubbed it on anything. We touched a fragment of crystal, prodded it.

The crystal clung. With the crystal still attached, we moved the stick over a circle of metal. It stuck to the crystal. Moving the stick over the table, one item after another eventually clung to it, until they hung from the stick in a small daisy chain. It was like playing Nelya Mikhailova, PK medium. Or was it some obscure workings of static electricity?

"Everybody thinks of static electricity," the Czechs agreed, "which is why we've done so many tests to prove it isn't. Psychotronic energy, the energy you're using in a small way right now, has many similarities with electromagnetic energy, which is natural. But psychotronic energy itself is much more subtle," Dr. Rejdak told us. "This stick, by the way, doesn't work as well when you're tired."

How long does a charge stay in a generator?

"The generator that speeds plant growth, once charged, works steadily for three days. [EW: Kind of like the 3 day's anomalous effects in genuine crop circles.] That's about the longest at the moment. We have one designed to turn a small electric motor. The first day it requires a charge of half an hour. Then, a few minutes every day and the generator will turn the motor about fifty hours."

If you owned a psychotronic generator, what else could you do with it? Would it actually be what Marshall McLuhan calls "an extension of man" - in this case an extension of your psychic faculties? If they operate on the energy that is supposedly behind supernormal happenings, would a generator be "psychic"?

[p 296-97]

The Czech scientists, who seem eminently sane and responsible people, said yes. They showed us small segments of film to back up this "yes". One generator, they said, could do that most classic of all ESP tests, the card test.

This "telepathic" generator has a rotating pointer on top. ESP cards are arranged in a circle beneath. The generator is the "receiver". In another room sits a person who will send. He holds the pack of twenty five cards shuffled and randomized. The sender turns one card at a time face up and concentrates on its pattern. In the first room, the pointer of the generator slowly turns and stops, directed at the card with the same symbol the sender is looking at. As the sender goes through the deck, the generator continues to swing from card to card as an observer notes its "choices" in order.

Back to Table of Contents

What kind of ESP scores does the generator get?

"It is always 100 percent correct. The generator never makes a mistake."

It was a funny looking creature to be the ESP subject of the century! But it isn't a subject, it's a machine, though rather unlike the kind of machines we're used to. Even familiar machines like computers can be programmed to identify a specific symbol when it's encountered. The "only" difference is that the psychotronic generator, because it works on another kind of energy, recognizes symbols across space, through walls, when a person stares at them.

Engineer Drbal, the specialist in electronics, tried to clarify. "All forms, whether sculptures, designs, rooftops of buildings like the pyramid - all forms have wave fronts. So do the patterns on the ESP cards." Supposedly, when a person thinks about this pattern on the card, it seems to intensify the wave front. The generator is designed to pick up this pattern. That's the hypothesis, anyway.

"Instead of cards being placed under the pointer, we can put a potato, an apple, various vegetables and fruits. Another set is placed in front of a person in a separate room. As the person selects each, the revolving pointer on the generator also turns to indicate the matching vegetable." Their generators, the Czechs added, could also distinguish between blood samples and match a child with his parents.

[p 297-98]

In the United States, Cleve Backster, head of the Backster School of Lie Detection in New York [1970 material], has found that organic matter - plants, fruits, vegetables, blood samples - seems to have a form of 'primary' perception." They communicate, sometimes across vast distances. And they "recognize"; even cell scrapings from a person's mouth "recognized" their owner according to the polygraph tracings.

Have the Czechs with their generators succeeded in isolating whatever basic factor is in living things that's capable of "perceiving" and "recognizing" at a distance?

If psychotronic energy is real, what happens if you aim it at people?

"That depends on the kind of generator. Some, we believe, could speed healing of wounds and recovery from illnesses. Others have a harmful effect. We tested the force of one type of generator, for example, on the brain. Pavlita's daughter Jana offered to be the guinea pig. At a distance of several hundred yards, we beamed this energy from a generator towards her head. Jana became dizzy - her spatial orientation was affected and she began to swirl around.

"There have been various experiments on lower forms of life. Snails, for one, were subjected to psychotronic force. It caused them to withdraw into their shells and go into a state similar to hibernation. We've also tested insects." They showed us photos of the generator used. It looked like a chunky metal doughnut with a slice through it on one side. The metal circle was held up on a rod and base, like a mirror. "We placed flies in this generator. They died instantly."

If psychotronic energy could kill flies, could it kill bacteria or diseased cells in the body? Could it alter genetic material - DNA and RNA? Before we could go further into this death ray for flies, several more people arrived to join our group.

### A Visit to the Czech Merlin
(1970 material)

Our convoy of cars drove through the suburbs of Prague, out into the Bohemian countryside and headed east toward the small town where Pavlita, our modern day Merlin, lived.

The man driving our car had been introduced as a composer. "I'm a specialist in criminology," he told us. "I've worked quite a bit with the police in the past, before I took up composing full time." He was the heir to a very distinguished family name, known far beyond Czechoslovakia. His father was one of the country's famous composers, his grandfather was renowned as the architect of some of the grand buildings of the Austro-Hungarian empire. This moderately well known son wrote show tunes, "songs with plenty of melody."

What did he know about Pavlita? Not very much, but he'd come up against enough frauds and clever swindles in his police work. If there was something funny going on, he assured us he'd spot it.

"I have heard that Pavlita is a medium who does PK, moves objects. That's something I'd like to see."

It seemed Pavlita caused confusion on his home turf, too.

We tried to explain to our companion that we'd heard Pavlita wasn't exactly a PK medium, but he'd built generators that supposedly worked on the human energy that caused PK. "That's even harder to swallow!" That much we all agreed on. "I always try to keep an open but skeptical attitude toward everything in ESP," he went on. "I can't say it's impossible, still..." He reached into his raincoat pocket. "I hope I don't spoil anybody's afternoon." He produced two "supermagnets". "Maybe we can find out a little more about the ways of the generators with these. I intend to try them on the Pavlita machines."

We'd been speeding over hill and dale for hours, past neat villages of red roofed stone houses built close to the road, through spas, heavy with dark green leaves, baroque fountains, and statues in the town squares. Occasionally our friend pointed to turrets and dragon teeth walls on the summit of a distant hill and gave us a short history of some of the medieval castles Czechoslovakia is famous for.

Finally, we reached a small town and pulled to a stop on a street lined with tall old shade trees and four story buildings standing wall to wall. As in many Czech towns, classical sculpture and colorful painted frescoes wound around the building. A carved stone figure, like a miniature Atlas, supported the rooftop at the corner and surveyed the crossroad with wary eyes. The street was deserted, misty with a fine rain. A tall, athletic looking man, with dark eyes and even features, came out of a building entrance to greet us. Robert Pavlita was casually dressed in slacks and a plaid sport shirt. He could have been an American executive relaxing on a day off.

[p 300]

Upstairs in the apartment, Pavlita's nineteen year old daughter Jana led us into the bright, spacious living room furnished with blond, industriously polished Scandinavian style furniture, a grand piano, and many paintings. She left us around the dinner table and almost instantly reappeared with coffee and cake. Jana was a pretty girl, delicate and chic in a white flowered miniskirt, her reddish hair styled in a short high fashion cut. A Czech friend had described her as "very docile" and observed that she worked a heavy schedule on generator research without, it seemed, a murmur of complaint and without much time for anything else. That afternoon she seemed slightly unnerved at finding herself the hostess of our polyglot group.

We picked up the first generator. It looked like a small abstract figure of an ancient fertility goddess - a rectangle of metal for the head and a trapezoid of iron for the body, with bosomlike projections on it. Although it stood only six or seven inches high, it was enormously heavy. Etched on the "head" was a staring pattern, a vertical zigzag design. For differnt functions, the "head" segment could be removed and other components substituted. How do you change it? Pavlita showed us how he held it, his thumb on one of the conical projections on the front and one of his fingers on a similar projection on the back. As you moved your eyes along the zigzag pattern in a sort of figure eight, the device supposedly picked up and accumulated your bioenergy.

Circular shaped generators, like small suns, sat on the table: a circle of black iron dappled with speckles of gold or brass, others with diamond shaped designs cut into them. Some were ice smooth, some rough like a wrought iron gate.

"What got you into this?" we asked Pavlita.

[p 300-01]

"I've always been interested in the idea of another form of energy," he said. "Even when I was just a boy at school." He'd been educated in a technical school and after graduating, his genius for invention quickly led to new processes and machines for industry.

Back to Table of Contents

As he chain smoked, Pavlita explained some of the things the generators could do. "EVERY MOTION A PERSON MAKES IN A ROOM LEAVES A PATTERN, A TRACE. The generator is able to pick up this trace over a distance of several rooms. Even moving one's hand in a circle over a table creates enough of a trace for the machine to pick up and identify."

One of the Czechs tried to explain to us in slow, careful English. "This trace he is speaking of is a form. It is not an energy, as we know it. They think what occurs is that a sort of indentation is made into the surroundings. This is the trace."

The composer-criminologist didn't buy this idea at all, or much else that was being said. Pavlita showed him privately a huge book of pictures and reports in one corner of the room.

"This energy is a real energy," Pavlita said, "a genuine force of nature." When Jana was a small child, he and his wife discovered she'd gotten into the room where they kept the generators. Thinking the bright objects must be toys, Jana began to play with them. "We caught her, but not before the little finger of each of her hands became paralyzed," Pavlita said. "Fortunately it was only temporary."

While the groups wrangled over various theories of how the generators worked, Pavlita set up an experiment in the kitchen for just the two of us to see. It was a well lit, ordinary kitchen. He put a circular collar of copper about ten inches in diameter and five inches high on a table. There was an inch wide gap between the two ends of the collar. A small tubular generator, which simply seemed to be a hollow piece of metal, with no moving parts, no wires, was attached vertically to the collar beside the gap. He put a small metal ball on top of the tube. Inside the collar, a tin wheel resembling the spokes of an umbrella was poised on a needlelike stand.

[p 301-302]

Pavlita set up a glass shield between himself and the device. He took off his watch. He reached around the glass and adjusted the metal ball. Then he drew his hands back behind the barrier and began the charging process by gazing at a pattern on the generator, moving his head slightly up and down. He called Jana to join him. She stood behind him, directed her gaze to the generator, and moved her head gently from side to side. They did not seem to be straining.

In less than a minute the generator was charged; slowly the tin wheel began to turn. It turned as if pulses were being directed at it, then faster and more smoothly. We didn't detect any draft of air, any heat wave that could have caused the motion. There were no magnets in sight, no wires, nothing attached under the table. No scientist would accept this as a test, but it was a very much out in the open, sharply illuminated demonstration. The Department of Physics of the University of Hradec Kralove, which had examined some of the Pavlita devices, as well as experts from the Czech Academy of Science, and agreed that normal physical causes had been fairly well ruled out in controlled tests. Then, how did it work?

Dr. Rejdak explained that copper seems to attract this psychotronic energy and that the copper circular collar seemed to polarize, one side positive and one side negative. Presumably, the interplay of force from the two poles caused the wheel to be attracted, then repulsed, forcing it to move.

Pavlita cleared the table and came back with another type of generator. This one was a long hollow rectangle of steel about seven inches long and an inch or two in width. He attached a conical aluminum tip to the bottom end. "The tip can be of wood, plastic, anything nonmagnetic," he said. When he was done, the generator looked like a pudgy ballpoint pen.

The other guests joined us. Pavlita scattered fragments of non-magnetic substance onto a sheet of glass. Various people tested them with a magnet. When they were satisfied that magnetism had no effect on the fragments, Pavlita picked up the generator, placing his fingers on two metal circles on the back. He moved his thumb back and forth over a scalloped opening in the front, as if he were playing a clarinet. He touched the tip to a piece of copper. It picked it up. He carried the copper to pieces of crystal, silver, aluminum. They all clung together in a stack from the generator. "The energy is going into these nonmagnetic substances," he said. "Now that we've put a charge on them, anything will pick them up." He asked us for a match.

We produced some wooden ones we'd bought in Romania. He put a match near a piece of aluminum, near other little chips. Our match attracted them and, with prodding, picked them up and stacked them. He asked us to hold a magnet over the pieces. It had no effect. It did not attract them. These little chips of non magnetic metal and crystal, once charged with psychotronic energy from the generators, would attract or repel the pole of a suspended magnetic needle.

Pavlita put a sheet of glass on a stand and held a formidable horseshoe magenet, about five inches long, underneath it. This time he scattered magnetic fragments on top of the glass and moved the chips about with the magnet. Then he pointed his generator at them. The generator easily picked them up despite the force of the magnet attracting them beneath. His generator also drew the pieces away directly from the magnet.

Next, Pavlita dumped all the nonmagnetic substances into a glass dish of water. (Electrostatic energy doesn't work underwater.) The generator not only picked up each substance, it also appeared to make the water itself cling to the tip of the generator in a narrow column. The composer brought his supermagnets into play. The little fragments didn't budge. He tried it on the tip of the generator; no attraction. Pavlita said his device would even attract cloth and jokingly used it to draw out the edge of the composer's handkercheif from his pocket.

And that was enough experimenting, our host decided. By this time, Mrs. Pavlita had arrived home. A small, warm, bustling woman, she shook hands warmly and insisted we stay for supper.

On the long black drive back to Prague through pelting gusts of rain, great sprays of lightning lit the sky like heraldry against a backdrop of frowning fortresses and ancient castles. It brought to mind some of those late night movie scenes of Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory as he tries to infuse life into an inanimate creature. Could this strange psychotronic energy succeed as Frankenstein's "lightning" did? Could it endow the inanimate with motion?

Have the Czechs isolated the energy that allows Nelya Mikhailova to cause nonmagnetic objects to move at a distance? Have they captured in a generator the "X" force from the healer's hands that causes wounds to heal, plants to speed their growth?

[p303-304]

Does man have powers he never dreamed of, energies that can be isolated and used? Maybe this psychotronic energy is a key to ghosts and even to the supposed ectoplasmic substances emitted by mediums. The Czechs have only reported on the uses for psychotronic energy they feel they've confirmed. To their mind, this is just the beginning of a discovery - an awesome discovery. We heard much speculation. And we talked finally about the future which the Czechs looked to so hopefully and about philosophy and history.

"In Czechoslovakia, history certainly repeats itself," one of the businessmen said. "For centuries about every fifty years somebody invades us. Do you really think that's about to change?" he asked with a cynical laugh.

But Czechs we met elsewhere, in restaurants, in shops, on buses, everywhere told us again and again, "The Soviets will never invade." Many of them kidded us about being worried. "What are we guilty of? We are not leaving socialism. All we're trying to create is socialism with a human face. We're trying to guarantee freedom of the individual, freedom of speech, freedom of inquiry. The goals of the Czech experiment are the goals of the whole of human society." [1970 material]

In another kind of experiment during that brief Czech springtime, we had seen the psychotronic generators. What are the all about? Even the Czechs don't claim to know all there is to know about their new energy. The cardinal point in their minds is that Pavlita's generators demonstrate that AN UNKNOWN ENERGY DOES EXIST, SUBTLY INTERTWINED WITH HUMAN BEINGS.

If it is real, if it continues to check out, one day this account will read like the report of two primitives trying to describe a television or a phonograph. If before the patents were secured, we chanced in on a private demonstration of Mr. Edison's talking machine ninety five years ago, we'd probably have written about a bizarre, almost unbelievable machine. It could, as Caruso sang in the room, somehow capture his voice in hairlike grooves on a circle of wax. A week later this circle could be put on a rotor, a sort of metal arm would trace the grooves, and, as if time didn't exist, we would hear Caruso sing out his aria like a conjured ghost. What's more, it was reported that the wax would stay charged with his voice for a very long time, perhaps even for years.

[p 304-05]

The very few - two or three - Western scientists who have seen Pavlita's generators are wary of them. No one likes to wear a historical dunce cap like the members of the French Academy who bodily threw Mr. Edison's agent and his talking machine out of their chambers. They knew, after all, that wax can't talk, that the whole thing was a cheap ventriloquist's trick. Yet no one, particularly scientists, likes to be fingered as gullible, either.

Just days after we left Prague, the Soviet Union invaded. The brought in more heavy war equipment than even Nazi Germany used to occupy the country. Helmetted Soviet soldiers were squatters on the castle heights overlooking the city where we'd seen long haired hippies painting art nouveau designs on the sidewalks. Soviet tanks turned the street sullen where we'd talked over the plans the Czechs had for psychotronics.

Will the new energy disappear under a new iron curtain? The Czechs told us THERE WERE ISOLATED PEOPLE IN EUROPE AND AMERICA WORKING QUIETLY ON THIS "VITAL ENERGY". [EW: No kidding!!] Perhaps someone here will come up with a psychotronic generator that passes all the tests Pavlita's did. Or perhaps, hard line or soft line, the Czechs will decide they have a good thing going and let the rest of us know more about it.

It's our [Sheila Ostrander's and Lynn Schroeder's] opinion that the Czech scientists believe they're onto something. They're secure enough in this belief to announce their discovery to outside scientific conferences. It is also our opinion that that the generators work. The question is why, on what energy? Is it Prana, the Vital Energy of the Chinese, the bioplasmic energy of the Kirlian effect?

The discovery of a new-old form of energy, a vital energy, a more intimate energy than electricity or xray, is a scintillating idea. It asks for a leap of the imagnination. It implies a landing place outside the rings of current scientific knowledge, a landing place where mind and energy are no longer irrevocably split apart, but instead interact to work their wonders.

Is psychotronic energy the subtle, vital energy that mystics, mediums, and philosophers have posited and that scientists recently have looked for behind psychic happenings? Pavlita's generators reverberate in the mind like gleaming question marked against the now muted Czech countryside.

## Chapter 28: All Kinds of New Energy

### (1997 material)

[p 313]

The world's news anchors, for once, looked surprised themselves that day in August 1991. The Gorbachevs were under house arrest. Russian tanks, like the tanks that long ago rolled into Prague, now thudded through the streets of Moscow. Their long cannons slowly swivelled to lob shells at the Parliament Building. Up on the barricades, Boris Yeltsin - the hope of Russia, many said - was rallying the people. Then - in a blink, the mighty Soviet Union was gone. And as if someone had hit the delete button, Communism itself disappeared from one end of Europe to the other.

[p 313-14]

"I can't believe it!" "I never thought I'd live to see it." We were as stunned as the rest of the world that had lived in the Cold War. As we watched the TV pan the familiar Moscow streets we'd walked with Edward Naumov, Karl Nikolaev, Victor Adamenko, we wondered what this extraordinary collapse would mean to them. And we began to wonder if now, at last, the rest of the Soviet psi story could come out. What was going on in those buried installations that one after another of our contacts alluded to with comments like "There are secret laboratories ... military labs ... closed labs ... there are brilliant scientists you will never know of working in this field." Hints of darkness were almost invariably followed by a plea to take word to the West, "PSI IS REAL; IT MUST NOT BE USED IN ANTI HUMAN WAYS."

Fear of the dark side of Soviet psi seemed to be what drove some Russians to take chances that even we knew enough to warn against. It brought us papers to be copied in a few hours in the middle of the night so they could be smuggled back to their files before dawn. It pushed one man to keep connecting though he risked being beaten up again by government goons. It also brought us a bathtub full of bright, bushy bouquets. Snuggled inside lay tightly wrapped manuscripts from scientists who thought us too dangerous to meet. It led a reluctant Lynn Schroeder, lugging a huge wheel of film, to be put on a Moscow trolley headed for the American Embassy. Maybe the PK film labs could fly out in the diplomatic pouch. They didn't, so we had to wing it with what footage we could. It even led British scientists with sub-rosa Russian connections to phone us frantically in London. "Do not go home on that Soviet ship. Your luggage with all your data will disappear." By then we'd seen enough to tear up our tickets.

It was probably a good move. The revelations now [1997 material] spilling out from KGB generals and high level officials of all sorts are beginning to fill in the dark shape of a plunge into psi even more Faustian than we - and perhaps even our contacts - suspected. Mind control, memory erasure, Dr. Mengele type experiments that killed the subjects. All things considered, it's surprising the "good guys" survived as well as they did.

News of the Soviet approach to psi was like a bomb through the window to Western parapsychologist. Fresh air roared in; people were galvanized. For a few years before the shutters came down again on the USSR, dozens and dozens of top flight researchers took off for Moscow and beyond. Along with a rash of psychic groupies. "After you wrote me up," Dr. Zdenek Rejdak told us recently with a broad grin, "foreign women kept calling at night asking me to meet in their hotel rooms!" The information pipeline began to be squeezed shut again when the nefarious Yuri Andropov consolidated power, first as head of the KGB, then as Premier of the USSR.

[p 314-15]

Scientists at the Popov Society too "sensitive" about the welfare of psi subjects were fired. Naumov was arrested on trumped up charges of misusing funds. Protests poured in from Western scientists - which had been his hope when he repeatedly said, "use my name, make me famous." Perhaps the protests helped get his sentence cut from two years to one doing manual labor in exile in Vologda. Others were cast into professional limbo. Some like parapsychologist and healer, Dr. Barbara Ivanova were refused employment. For years she had to live off the kindness of friends - as she carried on teaching in her "university of the park."

"You'll never be able to come back after you write about us," we were told in every country we visited. Any lingering desire to try was snuffed when the foremost Soviet ideological publication, the Marxist Journal of Philosophy fingered us by name as - "dangerous, anti-Soviet warmongers." Maybe we should have passed on the "anti-Soviet" part to the AGENCIES SNUFFLING AROUND US AT HOME. The FBI interviewed Lynn's parents to uncover that their daughter had trouble finding fresh food in Moscow, while in Canada the RCMP busily interviewed Sheila's family and friends. Dr. Ivan Sanderson, who like 007 spent years in British MI5, insisted our phones were tapped. And we "accidentally" ran into men from various shadowy agencies in the most unlikely places.

With the Freedom of Information Act, Lynn got a mostly blacked-out copy of her CIA file. Among the readable items were neat copies of letters she'd mailed at suburban New Jersey post offices asking Soviet scientists about their work. (Your taxpayer dollars at work.) The high humor point was a note written by a CIA director in New York to his counterpart in Virginia. He declared Ms. Schroeder might be a bit paranoid. "She seems to think somebody is watching her."

[p 315-16]

Overseas eyes seemed to be on us as well, friendly ones. For years and years, articles, film clips, manuscripts - often from scientists we'd never met - were smuggled out by travellers and kept showing up on the doorstep. They told of new discoveries - telepathy with plants, biocosmology to conceive the perfect child, UFO and alien visitation, and most startling, careful mathematical analysis of "artificial structures" space probes photographed on the moon. (See chapter 33) One morning, a bulky package even arrived bearing the Czech version of a full blown Kirlian machine. Behind the reinforced curtain, the bright side of Communist psi research grew quietly. And its seeds began to blossom in the West. The prize for accelerated blossoming has to go to Dr. Georgi Lozanov's seemingly unbelievable fast learning system.

## Chapter 29: Psychic Warfare and Mind Control

### (1997 material)

[p 329]

"Russian scientists have been very successful in developing psychic warfare DEVICES,", says former KGB Major General Oleg Kalugin, the man in charge of foreign counterintelligence for the Soviet Union in the 1970s. He was the youngest general in the history of the KGB as well as a former minister in the Soviet Parliament.

According to Major General Kalugin, the Soviet Union wanted to investigate and harness psychic energy in order to produce new and deadly weapons - exotic weapons with which the West was unfamiliar - stunning weapons that could tip the balance of power during the Cold War.

Back to Table of Contents

Says Kalugin, "They stared to explore the mysterious powers of certain people and to SIMULATE GENERATORS of this same nature in order to produce a similar effect." Russian scientists succeeded in developing GENERATORS OF PSYCHIC FORCE, he said in a 1992 ABC documentary. Kalugin revealed in 1990 that it was Yuri Andropov, head of the KGB from 1967 to 1982, (and later, Premier of the U.S.S.R.) who issued personal orders to push full speed ahead with psychic warfare. Andropov's directive also urged scientists to forget being squeamish about injuring or killing research subjects in the race to achieve their goal. Funding from the Military- Industrial Commission and KGB was estimated at 500 million rubles.

[p 330]

Kalugin reveals that Soviet scientists had developed instruments designed to capture and accumulate psychic energy and then release it on command. They had transformed human psychic power into a practical, controllable resource. Once accumulated and concentrated by a psychotronic generator, psi energy can be released and used for a multitude of purposes. These advanced, sophisticated devices have the power to hear or harm. Like third generation versions of Jan Merta's "Wish Switch", they can use UNDETECTABLE means to trigger anything - like terrorist bombs, by remote control over vast distances.

As psi research grew more successful and soared beyond the leading edges of accepted scientific concepts, the KGB imposed more and more secrecy. One ultra-clandestine lab literally went to ground, concealing itself in the sub-sub-basement beneath the old botanical gardens at Odessa State University. Only secret couriers knew how to access this real life version of mad scientists at the bottom of the garden. To conceal their secret research not only from outsiders but from their own hostile scientists as well, disinformation was as thick as the leaves of the tropical gardens up above.

Edward Naumov warns, "A psychotronic generator can influence an individual or a whole crowd of people. It can affect a person's psyche mentally and emotionally. It can affect memory and attention span. A psychotronic device can cause PHYSICAL FATIGUE, DISORIENTATION, AND ALTER A PERSON'S BEHAVIOR. Certain generators can arouse FEAR, ANXIETY, ANGER, INSOMNIA, DEPRESSION, AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS and even lead to cerebral thrombosis [stroke].

Back to Table of Contents

[p 330-31]

Dr. Nikolai Khokhlov, a former KGB agent who defected to the West, was hired by the CIA in 1976 to investigate secret psychic research in the Soviet Union. He uncovered REAMS OF NEGATIVE PSYCHIC EXPERIMENTATION at over twenty well funded, heavily guarded clandestine labs, staffed by hundreds of top scientists. Hearts of lab animals were stopped telepathically; newborn rabbits separated from their mothers were electrocuted and the mother rabbits' telepathic biological responses charted; psychotronic generators were developed and tested for numerous applications; death row prisoners were handy subjects for various lethal tests such as using PK to paralyze sections of their spinal cords. Khokhlov identified certain government labs in Moscow THAT MANUFACTURED PSYCHOTRONIC GENERATORS ON A BIG SCALE.

From this avalanche of ultra-secret work, Russian researchers developed the idea that the human brain is a receiving and transmitting device. They mapped out the frequencies that provoked the changes they wanted. They were then ready to program anything into the brains of experimental subjects. Reluctant army draftees were among the first treated with the devices, to overcome fear, and to increase morale and bravery. In a fierce battle in the Afghanistan war, one of that group won the highest Soviet military honor - posthumously.

"The KGB and other organizations did build psychotronic generators," Edward Naumov told ABC. "I know that over half a billion rubles were spent on developing psychotronic equipment. Which brings up the question - where are all those devices now?" [EW - Targetting US!] Naumov had always felt it his patriotic duty to speak out against Russia's inhumane mind control experiments and their devious uses, no matter what the risk. Despite his arrest on phony charges and a year in a labor camp, he continued afterward to give lectures about psi in cities throughout the U.S.S.R. With the collapse of communism (which his psychics had predicted), he travelled to the U.S. and Canada, speaking at conferences on the latest Russian psi developments.

Back to Table of Contents

Psychotronic weapons aren't part of ANY arms accord, and with the current explosion of the Russian "Mafia" internationally, psychotronic arms could be sold or smuggled anywhere to ratchet up the terrorists' arsenal. On the other hand, could such arms be used to counteract terrorists by changing their mindset? Russian journalist Emil Bachurin revealed in 1991 that in addition to state-produced devices, EVEN HOMEMADE PSI GENERATORS ARE HITTING THE MARKET!

As in the days of old, a psychic current once again seems to be knitting itself into Russian politics. KGB General Kalugin reported to ABC that around the time of the coup that brought down the U.S.S.R., he got a call from someone in a Ukrainian military lab advising him that psi generators were being used against Boris Yeltsin to undermine his health, affect his heart and attempt to kill him. "For the first time in my life, I took it seriously," says Kalugin.

[p 332]

Shortly after the coup, Yeltsin did suffer a heart attack. Coincidence? After all, Yeltsin already had heart trouble and other ills. Since then, for protection and healing, President Yeltsin has been treated by some of Russia's top healers, including the famous Djuna Davitashvili. He has also used psychic scanners to protect his presidential offices from bugging and sinister psi influences.

Opposition politicians are supposedly attempting to use the psychic airwaves to sway voters their way. Insiders report that now there's free enterprise, it's encouraged many Russian people with psychic powers or psi generators to openly market their service or wares for "political abuse".

A self proclaimed star of Russian Psi/Politik is Anatoly Kashpirovsky, a well known psychic/healer/hypnotist who claims to have healed hundreds of thousands of Russians of scores of diseases via TV broadcasts and personal appearances in stadiums. In 1991 he sent us material asserting he was "Number One in popularity in Russian Public Opinion Polls." He said, a single TV show he'd done generated a million and a quarter letters.

Kashpirovsky won a seat in the Russian Parliament, rumor had it through using psi to manipulate voters. If so, not all were so susceptible. When he rushed into Lithuania planning to quell unrest by telpathic projection over TV, a group was waiting for him at the railway station and put him on a train which rushed him right back to Moscow.

Politically, Kashpirovsky is an ultranationalist. A short time ago, he even ran for President of Russia. In 1996, he lost his seat in parliament and his government apartment that went with it. The unseated Magus threatened to turn his powers on anyone who came to evict him - and make them impotent!

More seriously, despite the end of the Cold War, many Russian spies trained in psi-spy methods did not "come in from the cold". Security experts report that Canada is still awash with Russian spies living under identities called "legends" taken from the graves of babies. What's happening with spy use of psi generators and techniques is unkown. What is known is that KGB spy operations have now gone corporate and are focussing on economic espionage and stealing business secrets.

### Sick Waves?
(1997 material)

[p 334]

"A new form of biological communication - one of the very foundations of life!" That was the momentous discovery of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers placed in their State Register of Discoveries in the early 1970s. Soviet scientists in the Science City at Novosibirsk had uncovered a stunning finding - they had decoded ultra-faint bioluminescence coming from living systems - humans, plants, bacteria - and they'd found startling applications for it, both military and medical.

Back to Table of Contents

"SICKNESS CAN BE TRANSMITTED BY RAYS," they reported. "Viruses can be Transmitted by Rays at a Distance."

Decades earlier, the famous Russian scientist Dr. Alexander Gurtvich paved the way. "All living cells produce an invisible radiation," he said. He called it "mitogenetic radiation." Humans, plants, bacteria - all emitted it. Now, with photomultipliers (like "sniper scopes" that can see in the dark), Soviet scientists had captured the luminescent signal and decoded it. Dr. Vlail Kaznacheyev and a team of scientists in Novosibirsk showed in thousands of experiments that if cells infected with a virus were placed in totally sealed quartz containers and placed near healthy cells, the healthy cells fell sick and died of the same disease, even though they had no virus.

They'd discovered that the luminiescent radiations from living cells broadcast information from one group of cells to another at a distance. Sick cells send a sick message and healthy cells at a distance reproduce it like a fax machine. Could viruses like AIDS be broadcast this way?

By "jamming" the sick-cell broadcast - healing could take place and viruses could be stamped out. How to do it? Counteract the flow of photons carrying deadly "infection information" with interfering wave patterns. Some chemicals, such as aspirin, are natural "jammers" of the disease broadcasts.

[p 335]

The KGB immediately grabbed this discovery and set up classified labs to exploit it. Los Angeles Times correspondent Robert Toth was on his way to a Moscow grocery store one day in the late 1970s when he bumped into an acquaintance, Dr. Valery Petukhov, lab chief at the State Control Institute of Biological Research. They chatted a few minutes and Petukhov handed him a manuscript and photos from his briefcase. Toth barely glanced at them - something about cells emitting radiation that could carry information. Suddenly a small car pulled up beside Toth and five plainclothesmen pushed him into it. A black Volga care scooped up Dr. Petukhov. Toth was arrested and accused of stealing "state secrets" about parapsychology. He spent days in jail being interrogated about his psi espionage by both police and KGB. "There are fields of science within parapsychology that are secret," his chief interrogator told him. Petukhov's manuscript dealt with these secrets. The case made waves in U.S.-Soviet relations. U.S. newspapers featured baffled accounts: - "Arrested for Parapsychology?" [1997 material] President Carter protested. Finally, the bewildered Toth was let go and flew home immediately. Petukhov was interrogated for four days and released. Like his dissident friends, he may have been trying to get word out through a Westerner.

That same year, Dr. August Stern, who'd worked in some of the multimillion ruble secret psi labs in Science City, Novosibirsk, emigrated to France. He said psi research had been gathered into secret KGB labs and that they'd discovered "something important and very dangerous".

Soviets have succeeded in transmitting disease at a distance to creatures such as flies and frogs." Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander revealed more about the Soviet discovery in the U.S. Army's Military Review (December 1980). They infected chick embryos with toxic viruses - the ultraviolet radiations given off by the diseased tissue passed right through quartz glass and transmitted the sick pattern into non-infected chick embryos. They began to degenerate within thirty six hours. However, Russians had also discovered one antidote to disease radiation at a distance. Regular glass can act as a barrier because ultraviolet rays carrying the disease code cannot pass through glass.

### Psi Generators
(1997 material)

[p 336]

Yet another emigre who reached the West, settling in Israel, brought startling information. Dr. Abraham Shifrin had worked in a psi institute in Kazakhstan, headed by Dr. Solomon Gellerstein. He'd studied parapsychology for years, written books on it and edited a journal. The institute's project was to delelop psi generators like Robert Pavlita's in Czechoslovakia. Find out how to accumulate psi energies into devices and release them later from these "psi batteries".

They worked on every type of material - jewels, crystals, rocks, pebbles, copper, silver, wood. How did these charged objects affect plants and animals? They moved on to charging up Soviet souvenirs like Russian dolls, spoons, or Sputnik pins and giving themto unsuspecting visitors as gifts. Experiments showed recipients started to feel depressed, indifferent and even to suffer emotional breakdown. Some developed health problems and felt weak and indecisive.

In the U.S., Dr. Wilhelm Reich had labelled this energy "orgone energy" and found he could accumulate it in materials by layering organic and nonorganic materials alternately. His "orgone blanket" made of layers of wool and steel wool was said to greatly improve health.

[p 336-37]

At the Popov lab, Dr. Boris Ivanov worked on "charging" water with "bio energy" similar to the work of Dr. Bernard Grad at McGill University in Montreal. Dr. Douglas Dean found that a healer's hands could cause molecular changes in the water. Grad showed that hand charged water could either enhance or damp down living things, like plants. Ivanov's goal may have been to charge water negatively to shrivel plant growth or cause human illness. Human test subjects, not plants, may have gotten a dose of Ivanov's negatively charged water which some believe was sent out for "field testing" at receptions for unsuspecting visitors to manipulate their health. When his former professor, Dr. Barbara Ivanova, objected to the negative focus of his work, he denounced her as being "tainted with idealism" and she ended up with no employment. Soon there were more unemployed.

Dr. Larissa Vilenskaya, a prominent Russian parapsychologist who has emigrated to the U.S., reports Soviet scientists had developed electromagnetic field radiators to arouse aggressive states in animals or slow down their reactions to danger. The goal - to apply these techniques to humans.

In Leningrad, Dr. Pavel Gulyaiev, who took over Dr. Vasiliev's lab, developed a way to monitor electromagnetic fields of people at a distance and a way to impose other patterns on a person's own field to change their behavior. He believed it could be used to heal the sick at a distance.

At Kharkov University's Neurology Institute, repellently fascinating research verged on Haitian voodoo. Rats were killed by drugs and their brains placed in solution. Psychics were brought in to communicate with the dead rat brains which were monitored by electrodes. Emotions and thoughts were transmitted to the dead brains and THEY REACTED. Psychics did mental arithmetic and the dead rat brains REACTED. Dead rat brains responded to emotions such as laughter for about three minutes. In voodoo, a chicken or other animal is sacrificed and the voodoo priest communicates with the biofield of the dead creature to enlist its help in bringing about the desired goal.

[p 337-38]

In 1991, Dr. A. V. Kalinets-Bryukhanov, president of the All-Union Scientific Research Association, revealed in Ukrainian Ufolog, that he'd been part of some of the most ultraclandestine KGB projects for developing psychic weapons. Concealed in a secret lab inside the Filatov Eye Institute at Odessa, he bombarded animal brains with specific pulsed magnetic fields. He claims the animals developed clairvoyance and could literally see through walls. But their paranormal powers were brief. Soon their brains disintegrated and they all died. Death row prisoners went through similar tests with the same outcome, brain disintegration and death. (This eye institute had started out pioneering eyeless sight programs for the blind.)

Back to Table of Contents

The Soviet Union was speeding toward disintegration itself when more of the secret work spilled out via Soviet journalist Emil Bachurin from Perm in Young Guard magazine. KGB General Kalugin told him that KGB head, Yuri Andropov had been especially upset about several psi weapons centers he maintained were in CANADA. "Canadian research must be surpassed," he'd ordered. Bachurin's sources also revealed that after the war, Soviets had scooped up masses of Nazi occult research including some by the notorious Dr. Mengele at the Dachau concentration camp. Building on these horrible experiments had sped Soviet success in developing psi weapons, they told him. In 1993, Yaroslavl journalist V. Scheglov's sources told him psi weapons had been developed AND USED MANY TIMES AGAINST CIVILIAN POPULATIONS IN THE U.S.S.R. AND **ELSEWHERE**[!]

What are some of these psi weapons and how do the work? One type is a straightforward brain programmer. As early as the 1960s, the Soviets had discovered that electrical stimulation of the brain at specific frequencies could cause the brain to generate and secrete substances that control its functioning. They had broken the code of the brain's "frequency language." For instance a 10 Hertz signal sent to the brain through electrodes boosts production and turnover rate of serotonin - an antidepressant. (Serotonin is in the drug Prozac.) Endorphins - the brain's "feel good" chemicals - are stimulated at a rate between 90 to 111 Hertz. Neurotransmitters - the brain's couriers that boost intelligence and memory power are produced at other frequencies. Specific frequencies can cure pain and produce rejeuvenating growth hormones. Beaming these frequencies into the brain can make people super smart, cure addictions, or heal a myriad of illnesses. Conversely, certain frequencies can induce hate, anger, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. They can cause insomnia and drastic memory loss.

The Soviets had also perfected "memory weapons" - memory erasure and memory implants as a means of mind control over citizens. For covert activities, the process could be used to develop spies with artificial multiple personalities - like the Manchurian Candidate - each with its own implanted memory bank. (For more details, and one of the most fascinating spy cases ever, see our book Supermemory). Soviets had also discovered the specific frequencies and wave forms that could induce hallucinations in subjects so voices and images controlled them. Now, the KGB wanted to do all this BY DISTANT REMOTE CONTROL.

For years, the U.S. protested that the U.S.S.R. was beaming microwave radiation at its U.S. Embassy in Moscow. During 1975 and 1976, radiation reached peak levels. U.S. Embassy staff reported unusual physical and mental effects. Dr. Robert Becker reports in his book The Body Electric that many developed cancer. U.S. Ambassador Walter Stoessel was rushed home from Moscow suffering continual headaches, bleeding eyes, and poor concentration. Tests confirmed a rare blood disease similar to leukemia. The two previous ambassadors also came home sick and died of cancer. Embassy staff suffered headaches, blurred vision, and memory loss. The Embassy tried to screen out the waves. For a while, the bombardment stopped, then started up again in July 1979. Insiders believe the Soviets were using microwaves as carriers of certain negative frequencies that would induce depression and illness. They hoped to manipulate the minds of high level visitors and heads of state.

CIA director of mind control experiments, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, testified before a Senate subcommittee that during a state visit by President Nixon to the U.S.S.R., Nixon's doctor and associates said, they'd "experienced unusual feelings of depression, even bursting into tears at numerous inappropriate moments for no reason."

[p 339-40]

In the U.S. Dr. Ross Adey discovered that animals bombarded with microwave radiation lost brain chemicals essential to memory and developed symptoms of Alzheimer's. Dr. Allen Frey found that pulsed microwaves of a specific rate are hearable. They sound like buzzes, hisses, clicks. By taking a word's sound vibes and creating a microwave audiogram, words, codes, instructions, could be beamed directly into someone's brain at a distance. Dr. J. C. Sharp of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research became a test subject himself and clearly heard and understood words delivered by microwave. Spies could deliver instructions and secret codes directly by "beam to brain." They could also drive a target crazy with "voices" in their heads telling them what to do.

As a by product of other military research, the Soviets found yet another carrier of brain frequencies that evoke mental disturbance - ELF waves (extremely low frequency), radio waves, and very low frequency waves (VLF). From a number of major installations, Soviets began beaming ELF waves around the globe to communicate with submarines. As a side experiment, Soviets embedded these ELF waves with various brain affecting frequencies.

Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander, in a declassified U.S. Army report, suggests these ELF waves carrying negative brain frequencies could act as "mind jammers" on the armed forces. He urged the U.S. to prepare defense techniques for it. "Whoever maks the first major breakthrough will have a quantum leap over his opponent, similar to sole possession of nuclear weapons."

Dr. Jose Delgado, director of the foremost Spanish neurophysiology lab, used low strength ELF magnetic fields to make monkeys fall asleep on command or induce bizarre, manic behavior. Observers said the monkeys resembled battery operated toys, endlessly repeating the same action.

Soviet Yuri Udintsev found yet another biological war weapon in magnetic fields. A field of 200 gauss, 50 Hertz, made bacteria 20 percent stronger. Magnetic fields could be used in germ warfare to potentize viruses and bacteria. Similar fields beamed at people undermined their immune systems.

### Sergeyev Sensors
(1997 material)

[p 340]

When (Nina) Kulagina moved objects with PK in the Utomski military lab, Dr. Genady Sergeyev's detectors charted the fluctuating fields around her. Sergeyev has come up with a number of remote sensing devices used to check psychics and folk healers and for medical diagnosis. These in turn spawned still more inventions like the "phase aurometer" now used for diagnosis in many hospitals.

[p 340-41]

"I believe I'm on the way to capturing a portion of the memory of the world," announced Sergeyev. He's talking about DEVICES that are at least on the way to mimicking the psychic talent of psychometry or "object reading." A sensitive [psychic] holds a knife from a murder, or a ring from a missing person and "tunes in" to the object and comes up with information.

Objects around us, Sergeyev believe, absorb energies we radiate and are charged by them - especially by volatile emotional events. Objects become natural magnetic recorders, he says. His sensors work best on "mute witnesses" - objects or vegetation in the vicinity of violence. Blasts of violent emotions like rage or fear are easiest to decode, Sergeyev finds. His scanners that play back the memory of objects could lead to interesting developments in crime detection, archaeology, and maybe espionage.

Where some of the products of his genius may have already gone is more interesting. Supposedly, it settled int he cockpits of U.S. and British jet fighters. Highly reliable sources tell us the Western military saw possibilities in Sergeyev's remote sensors and did some inventing of their own. They created a special helmet to help pilots handle the split second moment of maximum danger when an enemy plane carrying a rocket approaches. The unconscious percieves an event an instant before it becomes conscious to us. The sensors in the helmet pick up a shift in the brain's fields in advance and automatically trigger firing a missile before the pilot could do it consciously. If he were to wait till the rocket was in his field of vision, it would be too late.

Several years ago this precognitive helmet caused an international incident in Britain. The helmet was put on display in England and strictly guarded. Agents from Czech intelligence broke in and stole it. In retaliation, Britain expelled many employees of the Czech embassy.

Sergeyev's precognitive sensor is being developed by the Czechs to use in cars to prevent accidents. The sensor lets the driver know in advance that a car is coming in the opposite direction around a bend in the road ahead. They've also pioneered using sensors in the ocean on buoys to automatically signal if anyone is drowning.

### Consciousness Zapping
(1997 material)

[p 343]

Early on, Soviets had gone high-tech with hypnosis. They viewed it as an energy effect, influencing the body's fields - bioelectric, bioplasmic, or "chi" energy. The devised detectors to monitor field changes and the depth of trance. BY CONTROLLING THE BODY'S ENERGY FIELDS WITH ELECTRONIC MACHINES, THEY COULD AFFECT CONSCIOUSNESS, MEMORY, AND BEHAVIOR. Instead of a flashing strobe to induce a trance, they used a pulsing ELF field. They used electronic interrogation devices on POWs to induce trance and capture information from their memories. [EW: This is the LIDA machine.]

Mapping the body's bioelectric fields, Soviets found that waking consciousness itself is a function of direct currents that run from negative to positive poles in the brain - a central front to back flow from the front of the brain to the back. By passing a low voltage current through the front of the brain to the back, you CANCEL WAKING CONSCIOUSNESS - YOU KNOCK A PERSON OUT. Soviets developed a "sleep gun" to use for anesthesia or as a sleep aid. The "electrosleep machine" or "consciousness zapper" could certainly make a handy accessory for the trendy spy. It was a high tech version of a psychic power displayed by ninjas or aikido masters or even a [Mr.] Wolf Messing. Knocking out consciousness psychically is a phenomenon often associated with spiritual healing services, too, where groups of "catchers" cope with people "going down under the power".

Dr. Robert Becker of the Syracuse VA Hospital confirmed that the Soviets were right about an energy component in hypnosis and suggestion. He found that a person under anesthesia or in a deep hypnotic trance gives the same reading - the negative electrical potential at the front of the head drops to zero. The electro-zap is the high tech version of the Soviets' classic telepathic hypnosis experiment - the long distance telepathic knockout which can happen room to room or hundreds of miles away.

"The ultimate weapon is manipulation of our electromagnetic environment," warns Dr. Robert Becker. "We're dealing here with the most important scientific discovery ever - the nature of life." Like the Soviets, the U.S. has developed electromagnetic weapons systems too: the Electromagnetic Pulse, the GWEN (Ground Wave Emergency Network) and the High-Power Pulse Microwave system. Becker's book Cross Currents reveals more about these silent, imperceptible mind/memory weapons. "An informed public is the only defense," he cautions.

### ESPionage
(1997 material)

[p 345]

Back to Table of Contents

The Soviets wasted no time putting their practical, reliable forms of telepathy and clarivoyance to work immediately in covert agencies for espionage, surveillance, and industrial spying. It was a spy's dream scenario. He could track secret installations (even read documents), get information about distant people, places, and things, invisibly and without risking his life. Agents in the field could be MONITORED BY CLAIRVOYANCE and also developed ways to PSYCHICALLY SHIELD SECRET CENTERS from Western clairvoyant spying.

Soviet psi researcher Dr. Abraham Shifrin managed to reach Israel in the mid-1980s. Since 1963, he had worked in a classified center in Kazakhstan for the Moscow Institute for Information Transmission, headed by Dr. Solomon Gellerstein. He described secret Soviet experiments with powerful Central Asian psychics who were able to describe clairvoyantly minute details of Soviet missile sites hundreds of miles away. He revealed that some Soviet army specialists were trained in telepathy and clairvoyance and used it to anticipate troop movements. Skilled psychics from his institute worked with troops both in war games and actual combat to advise clairvoyantly when and where attacks would occur.

The revelation in this book that the Soviets had perfected practical forms of psi for espionage and war shook up some people. We and our Soviet films went on over two thousand TV and radio shows. American reporters rushed to the Soviet bloc to find out more. Latvian born Henry Gris, and Bill Dick, after a lengthy and well funded expedition to the U.S.S.R. psi labs, confirmed our reports in their book New Soviet Psychic Discoveries. Martin Ebon tracked emigre Russian psi researchers in his fascinating book Psychic Warfare.

[p 345-46]

More U.S. military and intelligence groups began monitoring Soviet research and started secret explorations of the paranormal. Some had been at it before. This may be the place to finally answer the endlessly asked question: "How did you know the Soviets were spending so much on psi? Who gave you the figures?" Eileen Garrett, who was not only a master psychic but also a quiet worldwide force behind much psi research, gave us that other data. She didn't get it in a trance. She got it from a close friend, a woman who had originally staked her in business, Frances Bolton. A phenomenon in her day as a female in Congress, Bolton served for years as a chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and was privy to much going on beyond public view.

Others in Congress were interested. Parts of our book were read into the Congressional Record. In 1976, Congressman Charlie Rose of North Carolina set up the Congressional Clearinghouse on the Future to inform government aides and leaders about psi through lectures and seminars. When we were invited to speak to the committee, we were introduced by Congressman Al Gore who later became the enthusiastic chair of the committee.

Victor Marchetti, a fourteen year CIA official, revealed in his book that for years the CIA used psychics and mediums to try to contact dead agents to obtain vital information. First target was the famous KGB Colonel Oleg Penkovsky, who'd defected to the West. The Soviets caught him and executed him. The CIA used mediums to contact him as well as their own dead agents, says Marchetti, in Inside the CIA. He believes the closely guarded program WAS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL. Other sources have told us that inside very secure desert labs, covert agencies have also tried the latest "electronic voice phenomena" technology to try to contact dead agents. (See our book Supermemory for more on EVP.)

[p 346-47]

Over the decades, "mind wars" expanded. In their quest to get ahead, some U.S. intelligence agencies slid down the same horrendous track as Soviet researchers. Memory control and amnesia WERE BIG GOALS OF THE CIA, says John Marks, former CIA agent and co-author of The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence. Under the code name MKULTRA the CIA funded and/or conducted innumerable bizarre experiments on countless unwitting human guinea pigs across the country in 180 mental hospitals, prisons, and other institutions. They used LSD and other drugs, sensory deprivation, depatterning, brainwashing, radiation, and hordes of instrumented mind control methods. For instance, nine people who'd checked into Montreal's Allen Memorial Institute for treatment of depression emerged with their entire memories erased. "Our lives were destroyed," they claimed in a massive class action suit against the CIA. The CIA paid [a pittance - EW] about a million dollars in reparation. The U.S. Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments recommends that victims be financially compensated.

What memory weapons did they uncover? Most CIA sources will agree, they discovered how to do "Radio Hypnotic Intra Cerebral Control" and "Electronic Dissolution of Memory" - in plain English, they found out how to erase memories and install a multiple personality in a person and control their activities through SPECIFIC SOUND TONES. These people were to become superspies. One of the most stunning revelations was that Candy Jones, a famous New York broadcaster, with contacts in top echelons of government and society, had actually ben an artificially developed multiple personality master spy. (For her incredible life story, see our book Supermemory.) A Senate investigation in 1976 brought SOME of these programs to a halt.

Uri Geller's PK abilities, which were tested extensively at Stanford Research Institute, in the early 1970s, began to attract top level scientific interest in psi. Renowned scientists like Werner von Braun pronounced his powers genuine and astronaut Ed Mitchell promoted him. He was responsible for a reanaissance of interest in psi.

Geller met President Jimmy Carter at the 1976 inauguration of Mexican President Portillo. After bending Rosslyn Carter's fork at dinner, he had a long talk with Carter, repeating his urgent message, "The U.S. must match Soviet strides in psychic warfare, or forfeit the world." He warned that he had psychically detected a massive buildup on the Soviet psi front and told Carter they were even screening children for psychic abilities to amass a group of psychic supermen. Later, Geller was to meet with both Gorbachev and Bush [Senior] to discuss psychic matters.

[EW: Read carefully the portion of this paragraph which says "...stumble to make him stumble." I have had numerous remote influencing to make me fall as I walked outdoors - sometimes the falls were quite painful and potentially dangerous - from the perps. Although no one was "walking with me" in person, no doubt this effect described below was behind that particular perpetrator stunt.]

Odd corners of psi research impinge on healing. Soviet physiologists put two live frog hearts at the focal point of hemispherical mirrors reflecting each other. The stronger heart quickly entrained, or took control of, the weaker. Influence at a distance by muscle MOTION has a long history in Soviet psi. Subjects trained in BIORAPPORT - to walk in sync with someone, then STUMBLE TO MAKE HIM STUMBLE[!] Mirrors, it was thought, might heighten the influence. These tests brought odd prescriptions. Doctors ordered physiotherapists to to exercises with patients - not to teach, but to stimulate muscles through biorapport. After hand surgery, for instance, when you exercise to regain mobility, it might help to have someone with a strong hand exercise in sync.

ELEANOR WHITE TALKING:

This book promises potentially important clues about today's advanced mind/body weapons, clues that may spark important ideas in mind control victims who take the trouble to acquire or borrow the book. There are further sections on a range of topics in the psychic arena. It may take me some time to complete the book and post a publicly accessible review of it, because of competing needs for time.
