right lung and there is a deep scar behind one ear i have no information about the ankle now review the feelings you had when you told me about the right lung and the scar behind the ear review your feeling and use this as a point of reference next time you work a case after a moment's pause the psychic returns to beta smiling wow that's crazy yes it is crazy it violates everything we have experienced in this same world however there is nothing unusual about this scene i have just described some miss a little on their first case some miss all together on the first second even third case but as the day draws to an end virtually everyone has scored enough direct hits to know it is not just coincidence something very real is at work here too often we think of the imagination as an irresponsible creator of nonsense often it is the works of art are the products of trained imaginations psychic results are also the product of imaginations trained in a very special way the mind control student when he funked on psychically for the first time feels that he is just imagining what he sees this is why the psychoreontologist tells him to keep talking even if you feel you are just guessing if he were to stop talking his logical mind might tempt him to start reasoning things out stifling his psychic powers just as it does in everyday life after his first direct hit the mind control student knows he is not just imagining he is imagining and learning to trust the first thing that comes to mind this is his psychic gift coming through what is at work are perfectly natural laws our needs are not confined to our heads they reach out to reach out effectively they must be motivated by desire fueled by belief sparked by expectancy on his first case the average student does not have all the expectancy jai he is at all informed and open minded he knows perfectly well there is such a thing as ESP but his entire life's training has proved nine to the mem hat ESP is someone else's ability not his once he learns differently once he scores his first hit his expectancy leaps and he is on his way a few hours later wife eight or nine other good cases under his belt they will be a mind control graduate time and again i saw students correctly diagnosing the illness wrote bill star of midnight came is article mind control classes can improve your mental power and if he described the case he had once presented that he had thought would prove especially difficult to diagnose because neither he nor anyone else in the class knew what the illness was earlier that day a mr. thomas a mind control graduate had visited his son in the hospital there was another patient in the room thomas learned nothing about him except his name here is what the psychic found the right leg was ward of paralyzed the arms and shoulders were stiff and some vertebrae in the back refused because of a disease in addition the man had a sore throat and misintestines were inflamed he was five and a naive feet tall age and weighed 105 pounds back at the hospital mr thomas learned that the patient had been a victim of polio in childhood he had fallen from a wheelchair and broken his right hip and everything else the mind control students said was correct except for the sore throat and inflamed intestines those were his son's symptoms often what appeared to be mrs. turn out like this one to be hits on the wrong target with practice the aim improves with more practice the psychic can connect with things as well as people dick mazza an actor singer in new york supplements his income by typing book manuscripts for writers and publishers one day he lost a manuscript and frantically called a mind control graduate to help him find it he had it last he said when he entered a small church auditorium to rehearse a play a group of young morticians were leaving they were there for graduation exercises the manuscript was in a white envelope with dick's name and address and the word rush written on it the mind control graduate has as one of his count sellers an elderly mute woman whose usefulness is limited to yes and no nods and a sort of sign language the male counselor helps out as an interpreter and occasionally pitches in with his own advice the graduate visualized the manuscript as dick described it he saw it in the middle of a stack of papers on a large untidy desk is the manuscript safe there he asked his woman counselor she nodded yes does one of the new morticians have it no is the desk in the church no will it be returned soon yes who has it she pointed at the graduate himself i have it hey asked no the male counselor came to the rescue she means someone about your age has it he asked the young woman to take his papers back to his office because he was going out to celebrate with his students it's on his desk don't worry when he sees it he'll send ft along to dick two days later the dean of the mortician's school telephone dick after the graduation he explained he had picked up a stack of miss papers that somehow included the manuscript and asked his secretary to put them on his desk because he was going out to naive a few drinks with the new graduates it has occurred to many that in our case work we are dealing with nothing more than thought transfer and said nothing more how sophisticated some folks are the case i use as an example the one of the man with the missing lung is a real one you will recall there was one apparent miss the broken ankle the orientologists could confirm the mastoid operation and me missing lung but all he could say about the broken ankle was i have no information about that later the person whose case was being worked confirmed that in fact he had broken his ankle years before and that it causes him some discomfort in damp weather thought transference not as we normally understand the term the thought was not in the mind of the orientologists for he knew nothing about the broken ankle nor was it likely to have been in the mind of the case at that moment but you may object it just might have been in his mind yes age just might have been another case a student doing case work reported that a woman had a scar on her elbow from a fracture the orientologists had no information about it and checked with the warm and who said no she had never injured her elbow then a few days later the woman mentioned it to her mother she had it turned broken her elbow when she was three years old is this thought transference the psychic energy which people send out is strong just when their survival is at stake this is why so many cases of spontaneous esp involve accidents and sudden death it is for this reason that our final exercise is case work with severely ill people the graduate who consign justly practices his case work learns to pick up weaker and weaker psychic signals until one day he is able psychically to connect with anyone he has in mind whether or not the person is in trouble with practice we become more and more sensitive in my early experiments I learned that children them on straight psychic ability more readily than adults do they are far less limited by beta's view of what is possible and their sense of reality has not developed to the point where they will say only those things that seem logical one experiment just after the basics of the mind control course were developed was designed to work out the structure of the case working sessions I have described as you will see my earlier technique was quite different from what it is today two children Jimmy and Timmy have been trained in the basics I separated them putting each in a different room each with an experimenter a sort of forerunner of today's psychoreontologist one child Jimmy was asked to go to his level and create something anything and his imagination meanwhile Timmy in the other room went to his level and was asked to find out what Jimmy was up to Jimmy said to his experimenter TM making a little truck it has a green body and red wheels Timmy's experimenter asked what is Jimmy doing now oh he's making a little toy truck well describe it oh it has a green body and red wheels this is casework at a more subtle level than we conduct with adults in our classes it takes practice to become as little children chapter 13 form your own practice group I want you to come as close as possible through reading this book to developing your mental abilities as we do in mind control classes it will take steady prolonged but pleasant application so far the exercises I have given you can be practiced alone in a month or two when you become proficient you will be ready for the casework just described at that point you will need help from others under carefully controlled conditions here is what to do before you even begin the first exercise in this book form a group of at least six compatible people who will also learn to practice the exercises keep in touch as you progress and when everyone is ready when everyone has really mastered the exercises meet to begin casework allow at least an entire day for the first session everyone will bring at least four file cards each with the name age and location of a seriously ailing person on one side and the nature of the ailment on the other put in plenty of details these will help when if comes time for verification begin by mentally projecting yourselves into metal you will not have cubes or cylinders of metals as we have in our classes you can use dimes and pennies for silver and copper a ring for gold a small magnet for iron you should all examine these objects carefully then go to your level and imagine one object at a time picturing it several feet in front of you above eye level imagine the object expanding until it is almost the size of the room then enter it and perform the various tests do the same with fruits and vegetables and finally a pet you can consider these exercises a success when everyone has felt a distinct difference between his ex-aminations of one object and another it is not necessary that results of each test be clear and detailed only that the total experience of each object be distinct from the experience of other objects your impressions may turn out to be entirely different from someone else's no matter the important thing is what you find that becomes your reference point i have not yet developed a way through the printed page of helping you evoke counselors if you are able somehow to do this on your own fine but you can proceed perfectly well without them though your progress may be slower for case work pair off exactly as we do in mind control classes in chapter 12 u w bl find the words the orientologist speaks to the psychic as he presents the case these are exactly the ones we use in class and i suggest your group use them to i mentioned that you should do this under carefully controlled conditions here is what i mean one select a quiet place where you are unlikely to be interrupted or disturbed to be sure that every member of the group has practiced all the exercises in this book in proper order and has been successful with them three agree beforehand that there will be no ego trips someone in the group will probably succeed more spectacularly than the rest at first this does not mean that he is the best or in any sense superior he means simply succeeded first some may not begin to operate psychically until the fifth or sixth meeting but the slowest often turn out to be the best psychics for if you know a mind control graduate ask him to join you if he has kept up with this mind control he will be of immense help if he has let it slip a brief refresher with this book or another go around with the mind control class will bring him back five when you are the psychic set your doubts aside and dive right in listen to your hunches guess but above all do not try to reason out your findings do not say oh that can't be and wait for another him pressure what occurs to you on the first thought is more often correct than what occurs on second thoughts keep talking scan the body from top to bottom and describe what you see six when you are the orientologist do not hint you want your psychic to succeed but fd will not help if you say go back now to the chest sure nothing is wrong there do not tend to psychic he is wrong in the early stages when there may be the greatest number of misses what often happens is that the psychic picks up other cases rather than the one he is working on the error is relatively minor and can be corrected with a little practice discouraging words from the psychorian tolocks can bring progress to hlt simply say I have no information on that seven the patients if more than a half million people like you have succeeded surely you why you too it may take yon longer working alone and with an informal group but why rush eight once everyone becomes routinely successful with case work keep your group together keep meeting keep working cases together you will become better and better at it until one day soon you will be able to work cases alone becoming more sensitive to the subtle messages of everyday life rather than only to the more powerful ones of serious illness nine do not use anyone who is present as a case there is a legal distinction between doing this and working on someone who is at a distance in the first instance it is diagnosis which must be left to license physicians and health care takers in the second instance it is psychic detection which is perfectly all right with the law 10 when you discover an abnormality in a case you are working do not rush to give him the news this is bis physicians job yours is to develop your psychic abilities so that you can help him and others psychic or lie and legally simply correct mentally what you detect you detect mentally so correct mentally I warn earlier in this chapter against reading too much meaning into who succeeds first I learned this lesson in a powerful way when I was teaching one of my earlier classes in 1967 one of the students was a flight instructor Jim Needham everything was going well for him until the last day of the course every case he worked was 100% miss no one else in the class of 32 did so poorly however Jim saw others doing well El with one direct knit after another if they could he could so he devised his own plan for practicing at home with his wife who had taken the course with him she clip newspaper stories of accident victims and each night at level he would try to work the cases she giving him error names, ages, sex and locations he describing their injuries along with this she read him names from light yellow pages and he tried to guess their occupations Steve months of 100% misses then came a breakthrough he successfully worked miss first case then another and still another he is now with me in Laredo in charge of training mind control instructors and is one of our most reliable psychics in fact Jim can now operate psychically without going to level it is part of his everyday living one evening at beta or Outer Constausos Jim was helping a class through the exercise for evoking counselors he saw a giant black man dressed in gold brocaded robes and wearing a wide jewel bracelet approached one of the students the student rejected him and he approached another then disappeared into his aura when the exercise was over the first student reported that she had only one counselor two had appeared but the male one was Othello he looked too fearsome the second student exclaimed I got Othello he didn't come right away but there he was at the end of the exerciser you may not have to persevere as long as Jim need ham did Matt is very rare but if success takes longer to come to you it does not mean that you have no size sheet gift it means nothing more than that success is taking longer to come to you chapter 14 how to help others with mind control detecting illnesses in persons you have never seen is astonishing enough but we never let it go at that into the bodies where we project our awareness we also project healing obviously there is an energy involved in mental projection an energy aimed by the intentions of our minds change these intentions from information gathering to healing and we change what the energy does how do we link our intentions to this energy so that it accomplishes what we want the intention alone in its pure form is something like the will as I said in the chapter on habit control the will alone is a very utile use just as we detect abnormalities by visualizing them we visualize conditions as we want them to be without the abnormalities this is psychic healing it's as simple as that for most of the healing that you will want to do it would not be necessary to master the technique of work in cases you can become an effective psychic healer simply by using your mental screen as you do in problem solving in fact even if you are in the early stages of meditation and visualization you may still achieve some effective results many of life's possibilities hang in a precarious balance one little push and you can tip this balance your way sometimes of course the balance is already tipped and it takes a more accomplished psychic which you will become to tip it back if you wait until you are as effective at mind control as you would like to be before you begin psychic healing you will waste priceless opportunities to provide needed help I began healing work long before I had developed mind control and in fact long before I had an organized methodology for healing I tried one method after another with varying results the important thing is that I did not wait and a significant number of healings did take place enough in fact that I developed a certain renown as a healer in my area of the US Mexican border many thought I had special gifts or unusual powers but I had simply read and experimented until I got the hang of it one of my early healings shows how different my methods used to be in 1959 I heard about a parish priest near Laredo who had suffered for 15 years from a painful swelling of the knees he was often confined to bed the pain and confinement were not all that troubled the priest he was unable to kneel at moments in the celebration of the mass when kneeling is called for the arts bishop had granted him a dispensation but no dispensation could free the poor man from the feeling that he was compromising a sacred ritual I went to see him I think I can help you I said I am no doctor but for the past 12 years I have been working on parapsychology and we have obtained results much like those of faith healing with which you are familiar as soon as I said the words results much like those of faith healing the priest became more concerned for me than for himself parapsychology I stayed never heard of such a science I trust yachts are not getting into anything of which our holy church would disapprove I explained as best I could some of the principles of parapsychology I had learned and how healings can be triggered nothing that I said seemed to mesh with this man's theology he promised to look into it further and perhaps call me sometime soon the look of compassion on his face and the sound of disbelief in Ms. Voice gave me no hope at all that I would hear from him again I knew though that he would pray for my protection from dangers so serious in his mind that they dwarfed even his own plight I did hear from the priest a month later and once again sat by his bedside Josie, as you know the Lord leads us in strange ways a few days after your visit I received circular reviewing a book written by one of the brothers in our order I found a whole chapter devoted to this parapsychology you were explaining to me the other day now I understand this a little better and I am willing to let you try your work on me I sat with him for over an hour and spoke of my reading in some of the work I had done the longer I remained the more I liked the man finally he grew tired and it was time to leave all right then he said when shall we start the treatment father it has already started but I don't understand this thing is mental father and while we were talking I have done the initial work I did the rest of the work at home that night there how to help others with mind control I 111 next morning the priest was on the telephone and with surprise and joy in his voice reported that a great improvement had taken place during the night three days after my visit he could walk and kneel and he has never since experienced discomfort in his knees a miracle no a purely natural phenomenon here is how I did it during the more than an hour chat we were both alert and relaxed two conditions helpful in healing the subjects we discussed gave him added confidence in parapsychology in psychic work confidence is as important as faith is in religion meanwhile I began to visualize him in better health and just as important learn to like him more and more love is a tremendous power I wanted that on our side too I did one more thing in preparation for what I would later do that night to help visualize him later I studied the priest his face the feel of his handshake his various expressions and mannerisms the sound of his voice the overall feeling of being in his presence this was the initial work several hours later when the priest was asleep and I was back home I did the rest of the job what I did was totally different from what I do now I had learned that psychic energies are transferred most effectively when survival is at stake as I mentioned in the last chapter instead of going to my level as I would today I held my breath while picturing the priest in perfect health long minutes went by until my body screamed for breath still I held onto my image of the priest in perfect health meanwhile my brain in a sort of psychic scream cried out and the energy of the scream carried the carefully held image of perfect health exactly where it was supposed to go finally I breathe convinced the job was done and it was the method I teach and use today as much easier on the operator and just as effective simply learn to use the mental screen vividly with confidence let me outline the procedure for you step by step one it is helpful though not necessary to know the condition of the person you are about to he you can learn this psychically or objectively it does not matter two though to your meditative level and project tins per son onto your mental screen as he is with whatever ailment is troubling him place another image on the screen to the left showing something being done to correct the problem three now project onto the screen still farther left a vivid image of the person in perfect health filled with energy and optimism in deep meditation you are acute lie receptive to what you say to yourself this particular moment is crucial to developing a conviction that the happy image you now have of the person is the real one not that it is becoming real or that it will be real but that it is real the reason for this is that at tins meditative level at alpha and theta your mind is in lead with causes at beta it deals more with results by visualizing with conviction in alpha and theta you are causing never mind what you seem to be doing the time by substituting is for will be time is something else at this level visualize the results you want as being already achieved among the laws of the universe there seems to be a sort of cosmic bill of rights which guarantees that all of us no matter how high or low no matter how bright or dull can take part in causing lawful things to happen through the firmness of our desire the leaf and x pectancy this was said earlier and better almost 2000 years ago as reported by mark in the new testament what things soever ye desire when ye pray believe that ye receive them and ye shall receive them while yon visualize this person in perfect health there will come an instant a very pleasant one when you know that you have done enough it is pleasant because it is a feeling of accomplishment count yourself out to beta one to five feeling wide awake and better than before the more you practice this technique the more beautiful coincidences will occur and the more firm will be your belief which in turn will produce even more beautiful coincidences as soon as you learn to use your mental screen you can begin to spark this chain reaction while the techniques of faith and psychic healing may be different I believe their principles and results are the same rituals of faith healing differ from one culture to another but they have the same twofold effect to induce a deeper level of mind and to buttress belief and expectation many healers use methods which exhaust them they are drained of energy and sometimes lose weight in a single sitting this is not necessary in fact mind control methods have the opposite effect once we sense that feeling of accomplishment we experience a lift not a subtle one it is quite strong and we do awaken feeling better than before healing others we find is good for the healer many healers believe they cannot heal themselves some feel that if they even try this they will lose their power we have proved this to be untrue over and over many also believe they must be in the presence of the person they are healing for the laying on of hands for those of us who are not licensed physicians or of fish eyes of recognized churches this is illegal more important in terms of larger laws it is unnecessary absent healing works in discussing this in mind control classes we often cue the case of the centurions servant whom Christ healed at a distance Christ did not see the servant only the centurion who told him of the problem and his servant was healed in the self same hour one small observation notice that in our folklore when we make a wish with a wishbone or when we see a starfall or when we blow out birthday candles we are admonished not to reveal our wish this secrecy is probably more than mere child's play I think there is some wisdom behind it keeping our wish or more to the point our visualization of a healing bottled up in secrecy seems a way to avoid dissipating its energy maybe even to add to its energy for tins reason I am many of our lecturers advise students to keep their healing work to themselves when Christ said after one of his healings see that no man know of it he was not asking for a cover up his reasons were deeper chapter 15 some speculations chapters 3 to 15 which you have just read were designed like the mind control course to help you use more of your mind in special ways to solve the kinds of problems that beset every human life what you have read stems from my more than 30 years of study and experiment as you can see I have kept my work on a very practical level perhaps because I was born very poor and life presented me with practical problems from the beginning along the way however it seemed only natural to speculate on the many discoveries that amaze me because I have been influenced by a great deal of reading by learned associates and perhaps most of all by the very rich tradition of Christianity I can claim little originality for these thoughts one of the things that amaze me was that nothing I discovered to be truly workable conflicted in any way with my religious convictions for tragic centuries there has been an uncomfortable relationship between science and religion I have never experienced this personally what amaze me even more is that my findings did not conflict with any other religion or in fact with any established worldview among our enthusiastic graduates are atheists Protestants of every denomination Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus along with scientists and scholars of a wide spectrum of disciplines does this mean that there are no values inherent in mind control are the techniques I developed neither good nor bad like the multiplication table I said I would deal with speculations in this chapter but on this point I have some firm convictions which I believe I can support with logic let me express these in a kind of catechism one does the universe have laws of course science is discovering them two can we break these laws no we can jump from a building and die or make ourselves sick but the laws are not broken we are three can the universe think about itself we know that at least one part of it can we ourselves is it not reassignable to conclude that the whole can four is the universe indifferent to us how could it be we are part of it and it responds to us five are we fundamentally good or bad when we are in closest touch with ourselves in meditation we are capable of no harm at all in a vast amount of good were it not for my experiments which prove out number five I am my view of reality would be vastly different the best definition I ever heard of reality is that it is the one dream we all share we have only the faintest hints of what it actually is what we perceive the way we see things is largely for our own convenience things at a distance are not really smaller and solid things are not really solid everything is energy the difference between a color and a sound between a cosmic rate and a television some speculations divided by 117 picture is frequency or what energy is doing and how fast matter is energy too as we learn from emc8 it is energy doing something else being in another state an interesting thing about energy in a world of opposites up and down black and white fast and slow is that there is no opposite for energy this is because there is nothing that is not energy including you and me and everything we think thinking both consumes and creates energy or to be more accurate it converts energy you can see now why I find little separation between as thought and a thing can thoughts influence things of course energy can can thoughts influence events of course energy can is time energy I have only the most tentative specular tions on this because time presents so many different faces to us look at it one way and we think we see it dearly then look at it another way and it seems out together different to tie our shoelaces or cross a street we had better think of time as running in a straight line from past through the present into the future we must mink of k this way in order to get through the everyday job of living just as we still conveniently think of the sun as rising and setting as if the old astronomy of copper nikkus had never been proved wrong from this perspective we can remember the past experience the present and look uncertainly if at all into the future not so from another perspective in alpha and theta we can look into the future as well as the past coming events to cast their shadows before and we can be trained to see them this ability is known by the now respectable word pre-covenition it was far less respectable when I won the Mexican lottery if an alpha and theta the future can be seen here and now it must send ahead some kind of energy which we can tune into for time to send any kind of energy anywhere it must be an energy itself I discovered something rather strange about how we perceive time many years ago when I was experimenting with hypnosis when I put two of my children through age regression taking them back in time if the change of scenery from present to past started too abruptly they would lurch to their right just as when we are moving forward on a bus and it stops abruptly we lurch forward the children felt that in traveling backward in time they were traveling to their right when I returned them to the present and stopped the reverse would happen they would lurch to the left many of my early experiments with different subjects confirmed this later when I abandoned hypnosis for controlled meditation I wanted to learn how subjectively to move backward and forward in time I faced east because oriental disciplines specify facing in that direction and east seemed as good a direction as any then I wondered if I would be able to move around more freely in time if taking a cue from the hypnosis experiments I put the future on my left and the past on my right on this planet the sun brings the new day from the east and carries it to the west if I faced south during meditation east would be on my left and west on my right and I would thus be oriented to the planetary flow of time whether or not I really discovered the direction in which time flows on earth I do not know I do know that once I began facing south I felt better oriented in time and could move around in it more easily now let us deal with a larger question I have meant on higher intelligence a number of times in past chapters is this some non-committal way of mine of referring to God I cannot prove what I am about to say I must speak from faith my answer is no by higher intelligence I do not mean God I use capitate for the words because I am so respectful of it but to me it is not God the universe seems to do what it does with remarkable efficiency without a scrap of waste when I put one foot in front of another I cannot believe it is one of God's preoccupations to see that I do not trip nor for that matter is it a concern of higher intelligence it is mine I was genetically programmed to learn to walk that was God's work now that I have learned the routine steps are up to me however some steps in life are not routine and I may need information not available through the five senses to make a decision for this I turn to higher intelligence sometimes I need overall advice of transcending importance for this I turn to God I pray I see various levels of intelligence as a continuum going from inanimate matter to the vegetable to the animal then to the human and to higher intelligence and finally to God I believe I have scientifically found ways of communicating with each level from the inanimate to higher intelligence I have conducted experiments under control conditions and proved them out through repetition and anyone who follows the instructions in this book or takes the course in mind control can reproduce them this is what I mean by scientific much of the rest is speculation and faith not this just one more of my speculations in the perspective of our long history we humans have just recently completed an evolutionary stage this was the development of Outbrain this is now over with and done we have all the brain cells we are going to get the next stage is already in progress the development of our mind soon what are now considered special psychic abilities will be commonplace for all of us as they are today among mind control graduates and those readers who follow the steps I have outlined in this book you can see from these speculations Matt I have a certain view of the world and of what constitutes truth and reality now it is fair for you to ask do mind control graduates emerge from their experiences with views similar to these no far from it let me give you an example among those who remain closest to mind control practices an amazing number become vegetarians Harry Manite who works closest with me did this recently I enjoy a good steak chapter 16 a checklist once you knave mastered all the techniques I have outlined if you are like most mind control graduates you may use a few that work best for you and let the others slip you can easily recapture the knack and the good results with a quick review of those you may have neglected to save you time here is a list of all the techniques described in chapters 3 through 14 1 how to learn to meditate in the morning 30 2 how to leave your meditation level 31 3 how to meditate at any time of day 31 4 the first step in visualization your mental screen 32 5 the first step in dynamic meditation 35 6 how to

83 chapter 17 a psychiatrist works with mind control in the past several chapters hosay explained mind control and gave detailed instructions on how you can put much of it to work you can see that very deep levels of consciousness are involved in mind control and you may wonder as others have whether you face any dangers as you explore perhaps for the first time the powerful depths of your own mind hosay and those close to him in directing the mind control organizations say that experience so far shows that the benefits of the training are not in even the smallest way offset by any untoward side effects to use a medical phrase putting it another way no one who has taken the course is any the worst for it as far as hosay and his colleagues know one mind control graduate a member of the Medi-Cal profession has put mind control safety to an acid test he is Dr. Clancy D. McKenzie a prominent philadelphia psychiatrist and psychoanalyst director of the philadelphia psychiatric consultation service member of the staff of the philadelphia psychiatric center and in active private practice he is also a long time student of yoga and other meditational disciplines biofeedback and parapsychology as part of his studies in these fields he enrolled in a mind control course in 1970 I wanted to see if they were actually teaching clairvoyance as a number of my patients who had benefited from the course reported to me I became convinced Matt something psychic was taking place and I have since devoted a good deal of time and thought to investigating it further two other things sparked his interest in mind control a comment made by Sigmund Freud toward the end of his career and something that happened in a mind control class Freud had said that the most promising direction for psychotherapy to take in the future is toward mobilization of the patient's energies Dr. McKenzie clearly saw people in the mind control class using energies they never knew they had but he saw something else in this class three percents out of the 30 were emotionally disturbed and there was a fourth whose stability was in question what was the reason did the course precipitate emotional illness or had they been one when they arrived were my own disturbed patients who had benefited from the course merely lucky the most practical way to find out he reason was to test people before and after the course the test would be to observe closely those who were the most psychologically vulnerable he and a colleague Dr. Lance S. Wright professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania launched a study during the following four and a half years 189 psychiatric patients volunteered to go through mind control training to make the test still more stringent they focused an even more detailed study on those in this group who were a psychiatrist works with mind control i 125 psychotic borderline psychotic or who had recovered from psychosis there were 75 of these from their observations of the beneficial effect of the course on healthy people the results of these tests were no surprise to Dr. McKenzie and Dr. Wright there was consistent improvement in mental health among the psychiatric patients for those interested in the close reasoning and tight controls that guide scientific studies here are some details of the 75 patients in the disturbed group 66 were from Dr. McKenzie's practice they represented 100% of his psychotic and borderline psychotic patients who are willing to take the course at the outset of the study patients were sent cautiously one at a time so they could be monitored closely for any ill effects on themselves or the class also they were sent during what Dr. McKenzie describes as their more stable periods later he found he could send patients during their less stable periods four went while they were actively delusional still later he felt comfortable sending several disturbed patients at a time sometimes six or more as part of his study he tested 58 of these patients before and after the course to see what changes it might cause the test the experiential world inventory consists of 400 questions designed to measure a person's perception of reality something like the famous rorschach ink blot test but in written form the difference between the before and after scores was impressive 36 showed dramatic improvement in reality perception 21 remained about the same and one showed a drop the person who scored drop was a 29 year old catatonic schizophrenic who for the first time in his life stopped taking medication and began datting clinically observed Dr. McKenzie he had more emotional energy and a brighter outlook following the training however the dating threw him into conflict and he became disturbed two weeks after the course he did not require hospitalization am these patients of course have been in psyched or a pie many for a year or more which gave Dr. McKenzie an excellent opportunity to see what actual clinical changes had taken place after the course here are some of his FM dings one patient a 30 year old schizophrenic earlier in his life had believed he was under orders sent telepathic Julie to kill someone fortunately he could never find the right person during therapy sessions after die course he was able to discuss his delusional system Lord the first time his emotional energy was much greater and he had a brighter outlook on life soon he returned to school to earn a PhD his ability to do so was directly related to his taking the course explains Dr. McKenzie of 28 patients suffering from various types of depression 26 felt pleasantly better after FHE course the other two who reported feeling more depressed not only scored better on the questionnaire but like the others were able to work through problems they have been unable to deal with before a 21 year old woman was determined to commit suicide and was in the early stag of acute psychosis she assured Dr. McKenzie that nothing he could do would help she would commit suicide anyway he recommended that she take the course by the end of the week he was absolutely amazed she responded better than any of the other patients had it was one of the most dramatic remissions I had ever seen she found a new calm was more rational and her thoughts no longer raced in quickly changing diarch a psychiatrist works with mind control at 127 eons just as important most of her burden of pessimism was lifted in a clinical report DRS McKenzie and Wright say hospitalization and high doses of medication could not have calmed her as much she repeated the course two weeks later and again there was improvement the changes were dramatic she was better able to work in therapy over the next six months a year later Dr. McKenzie found her fully recovered from her acute illness psychosis of course are severe mental disorders neurosis are far less severe of the 189 patients who took mind control 114 were suffering only from new roses all of these benefited too summarizing their clinical findings in the aforement on paper the doctors wrote the doctors wrote the doctors wrote the doctors wrote the doctors wrote the doctors wrote the doctors wrote those who continued to practice mind control after the training were able greatly to alter their lives by it and even those who did not practice it were able to use it in times of crisis when they had to cope with stress or had important decisions to make for everyone it seemed to be a mind expansion experience a revelation that they could use their mind in other ways group enthusiasm mounted toward the end of the course and most persons experienced a higher emotional energy the disturbed group also showed an impressive change clinically only the one mentioned became more upset and the others at least derived some benefit from the training many persons with flat effects showed enthusiasm about something for the first time there did seem to be a change in emotional energy after the course and an improvement in effects they had a more positive outlook about their future and for some there was a better understanding of their psychotic processes the delusional patients were clearly less delusional after the training there was a greater relaxation and lessening of anxiety patients learned to rely on their own resources to understand cope with and solve problems and to be able to do so gave them more confidence with all but one of the 189 patients benefiting from the course Dr. McKenzie concludes that it is more than just safe and beneficial it can be immensely useful as an integral part of psychotherapy he now is almost all his patients take the course some of them shorten the length of their therapy by as much as two years with mind control techniques one of these techniques dream control he says may very well prove to be a major breakthrough in psychiatry it is a swift and reliable way to understand and solve problems trained in Freudian analysis Dr. McKenzie sees no conflict between the way Freudians interpret spontaneous dreams and the way mind control graduates interpret their program dreams the dream which becomes the wish to have the answer he explains however he cautions it is necessary to make certain an unconscious dream wish did not supersede the conscious wish to have the answer a patient whom Dr. McKenzie had been treating for some time called to say she was about to be admitted to a hospital because of chest and stomach pains he told her he wanted her in the psychiatric hospital instead the call was no surprise he had seen this coming for some time her mental condition had been worsening in the psychiatric hospital Dr. McKenzie told her to a psychiatrist works with mind control i129 program a dream to answer four questions what is the problem where is it what caused it how can i get rid of it here is what she dreamed she her husband and their three children were driving along a winding road it began to snow and the car slid off the road soon the car was covered with snow her husband told her to cut off the engine then eight or ten people came from the city to dig them out when they emerged from the car their three children were gone west ahead the road came to a dead end another road went off at a right angle into another road at a right angle which in turn led to still another road a super highway also at a right angle as he heard her recount this dream Dr. McKenzie suspected she was describing an intestinal tract and asked her to draw a map of the winding road she didn't sure enough the road accurately followed the course of a human intestinal tract all in correct proportion what's more a later medical examination found an obstruction that is spot corresponding exactly with where her car slid from the road where the small intestine meets the large one in other words Ms. Waman's dream accurately pinpointed her obstruction in a one inch segment of a 20-foot human intestinal tract steinwar the snow according to the symbolism of her dream was a dairy product which caused her intestinal upset and in some way triggered the build-up of the obstruction her husband's advice to cut off the engine was again in symbolic form the best advice she could get it meant shut off the fuel supply to the body stop eating the eight or 10 persons who dug them out are in dream language the fingers of the two hands this may represent the healing laying on of hands or surgery the sudden absence of the children was wish fulfillment she wanted mem out of the way to get more of her husband's attention for herself Dr. McKenzie had her transferred to a medical hose pitle because normally an intestinal obstruction like this calls for immediate surgery however armed with this understanding of her dream and with di no edge gained in mind control class of the power of the mind over the body plus the anticipation of surgery she began to release the obstruction an hour after Dr. McKenzie's dream-based diagnosis was medically confirmed at the hospital she had freed herself of the obstruction and no surgery was necessary her surgeon was amazed Dr. McKenzie later learned that this woman had had surgery for an intestinal obstruction four times in the past 20 years and her surgeons told him that each time it had been in the same place it appeared she had learned to produce the illness whenever there was a psychological need for it later this woman's 18-year-old daughter came to him with a problem she was pregnant and unmarried what on earth should i do she asked once again he advised dream control to find the answer in her dream a man appeared he said have the baby wait three years marry the man then move out of the state i couldn't have given her better advice Dr. McKenzie said the divorce rate among teenagers is 80 so three years waiting at home was logical the man was the right person for her but for a successful marriage they would be better off away from home far from parents in another case dream control led to a totally new therapeutic technique which saved years of therapy time this patient's problem was that whenever her husband was more than 10 minutes late for dinner she slashed her wrists for months Dr. McKenzie tried to explain that while she thought she was responding to her husband's tardiness she was actually experiencing an earlier feeling from childhood when her alcoholic father would not come home once she understood this she would stop her wrist slashing but Dr. McKenzie was not getting through the way things were going the woman faced two more years of twice a week therapy Dr. McKenzie suggested that she program a dream her dream turned out to be an amazingly creative knee which solved her problem overnight she dreamed that Dr. McKenzie taped some statements that upset her the most she played tins tape at home and recorded her reactions to it on a second tape then she played the second tape for Dr. McKenzie to interpret to each of his interpretations she exclaimed oh how stupid of me his interpretations pointed out that she was confusing two different realities past and present her dream led her to understand this for the first time she never slashed her wrists again this remarkable program dream cured the pottite altogether a three-year follow-up confirmed that she remained well Dr. McKenzie reported another patient suffered from claustrophobia and he struggled for more than a year to get at its cause it turned out to be an interesting one in the program dream he and three other persons were in a rectangle outlined by a rope on the ground outside this rectangle at one corner was a smaller one also outlined by a rope everyone was trying to get out of the larger rectangle through the smaller one the significance of this dream becomes clear when you see the larger area as the womb the smaller one as the cervix outside was a green pasture with cows one of the patient's companions ran toward the smaller rectangle but was stopped by an invisible bar rear a string of tin cans was attacked to him near his belt buckle the patient knew that somehow he would have to get out of there but he decided to let the others go first it gave him a sort of nervous feeling like giving a speech something he knew he had to do even though it caused stress and anxiety but there was relief after it was over the other three in the rectangle were his brothers and sister this one dream gave him the insight he needed into his claustrophobia what makes the dream particularly interesting is not that it takes a person back prior to birth this is fairly common but it's referenced to the invisible barrier does this dr mckenzie wonders suggests the possibility of clairvoyance prior to birth dr mckenzie not only advises his patients to use mind control he uses it himself to help his patients some of the most amazing wisdom comes to me when i'm using dream control one night he programmed a dream about a patient in psychoanalysis a 27 year old man who had not dated in two years women were against him and besides they were no good in his dream dr mckenzie heard himself say it's okay with me if you never have a heterosexual relationship next time the patient complained about women that is exactly what dr mckenzie said to him it works the patient was stunned avoiding woman was his way of resisting treatment now it would no longer work besides he was panicked when he thought of never having a healthy relationship with a woman that night he did dr mckenzie who has become a consultant to silver mind control continues to search for new ways to use mind control to improve and speed up psychiatric treatment at the same time he is looking for ways to use mind control in far broader areas of medical practice in the diagnosis of illnesses the first step in this search is to find ways of measuring the reliability of mind controls technique of work in cases after three years of research he believes he is coming close to what he terms an absolute research design one that eliminates all the variables and me sure is only what it sets out to measure his purpose is to find ways to put case working to medical use medical diagnosis sometimes involves exploratory surgery or drugs that may cause discomfort or danger to the patient and no diagnostic technique is accurate all the time psychic diagnosis would pose no hazard for me patient provided its reliability can be demonstrated this is what dr mckenzie is working on the first time he tried his new research design was in a mind control graduate class of 30 persons the accuracy of the results was greater than what chance would produce by 200 to one he was encouraged but he wanted to refine his methods even more and to our range for the scoring to be computerized he checked out his plans with the statistics department of the University of Pennsylvania and they agreed that he had indeed eliminated the variables that plague psychic research and that his measurements would be accurate the mind control newsletter published drawings of two human bodies with circles for readers to check they were given as in casework the important the purpose of this experiment is to correctly detect the location of the abnormality or illness please omit your activities to detection so as not to affect the obsessed during the experiment one debbie vexua 23 years old in lives in miami florida she

guessed it to be because the nature of this experiment involves detection only do not send corrective healing until name age sex and location of two persons who were fll what they were not given what dr mckenzie himself did not know was the nature of the illnesses the florida physician who gave him the cases was to reveal this only after results were in doing two cases rather than one is central to the new research design this permits dr mckenzie to weed out all the guesses for example if patient but not patient b had an injury to the left ankle any circles checked on patient b's left ankle would be guesses if five readers guess b's left ankle it is reasonable to assume that the same number would be guessing a's now supposed so readers checked a's left ankle dr mckenzie would subtract five from this number as guesses and conclude that 45 were operating psychically the computer would then measure the statistical significant of the results for this to work the two cases must be different if they both had injured left ankles this method of weeding out the non psychic answers could not be used the florida physician goofed he supplied two cases which it turned out had injuries to the same area of the body dr mckenzie had to change his plans and study the results some other way instead of comparing case a with case b he compared the number of correct responses with the next largest number of responses although the computer told him the results could have happened by chance only once in almost a billion times b still does not consider his experiment conclusive because his research design could not be followed there are many more facets to his design than are outlined here and he has conducted many other experiments that produce what he termed statistically significant results his entire project is so significant that we will surely hear more about it when he has refined his technique even more instead of simply having them check a circle to indicate the location of an illness he will give mind control graduates lists of medical ailments to check thereby providing specific diagnosis these preliminary studies he said point toward high levels of statistical significance i am not ready though to draw conclusions from them a lot more painstaking work is needed if later studies are equally encouraging we may have a way of putting psychics to work to help physicians in their diagnosis in ways even more reliable than those being used now this just could turn out to be a medical breakthrough it's too early to say for sure but that's what i'm working toward mind controls research director j wilfred hawn a biochemist and former president of mind science foundation shares dr mckenzie's hopes ever since the 19th century when the scientific method was brought to bear on psychic research uncontrolled variables left questions hanging over the findings whether dr mckenzie achieves a medical breakthrough is as he says yet to be determined but i believe he has already achieved a breakthrough in his research method from all the data he gathers he can concentrate the psychic responses he can eliminate all the garbage leaving only what he wants to study just as a chemist studying a single trace element in water can eliminate the water and all other elements except the one he wants to study chapter 18 their self-esteem will soar we waste too much of our time dragging ourselves under if we spent one half of it just researching in our mind how to deal with life we'd find we're so much stronger than we think singer actress carol lorenz was quoted as saying in the chicago tribune november 14197 fifth she became a mind control graduate on the recommendation of another graduate singer marpierre piazza true most of us are imprisoned by narrow ideas of who we are and what we can do you will soon experience the exhilaration of smashing these confines and finding new freedoms outside them when you see what you are capable of your self-esteem will soar a number of studies have been made of this and the results are in they cover large groups with no special problems as well as others whose self-esteem is obviously in shambles students as well as alcoholics drug addicts prisoners and the welfare poor let us look first at students mind control has been taught often as a full credit course in 24 colleges and universities 16 high schools and eight elementary schools you might expect that the same course taught the same way in different schools to students of different ages and different cultural and economic backgrounds would achieve different results not so the results have been so uniform that it can now be safely claimed that in basic respects they are predictable introduce mind control in a school and the result will be students with more powerful self-direction greater self-guidance stemming from improved ability to solve problems on their own in other words greater ego strength this has been scientifically measured by Dr. George DuSalle former director of educational research for silver mind control and previously director of counseling and testing at the Williamsport area community college the first test in 1972 was at Ha Yuhan High School in Philadelphia where 2000 students took the course a week before and two weeks after 220 randomly selected students were given the high school personality questionnaire which consists of some 140 questions that sensitively measure a person's self-image his total self-image can then be drawn up as a sort of portrait with 14 characteristics adventurous zestful self-assured and so on the test is widely used in research and counseling the self-image portraits of these 220 students were combined into a single group profile then compared before and after results major shifts toward higher ego strength self-assurance and composure and away from impatience insecurity and detachment in some respect students remained unchanged as in balance between dominance and submissiveness tender and tough mindedness what all this added up to was that these students had greater respect for themselves after mind control than they had before naturally with lives changing patterns our view of published by the institute for personality and ability testing ourselves changes from day to day if we gave the test to a randomly selected group and then repeated it three weeks later we would find some changes this too has been studied by those who developed the test the random changes that would occur by chance or a normal expectation and their rate has been calculated to evaluate the results at Ha Yuhan High it was necessary to determine by how much the reported changes exceeded those that chance alone could produce here is what was found for chance to produce positive changes in ego strength as great as those brought about by mind control at Ha Yuhan High the test would have to be given more than a thousand times to a randomly selected group more than a thousand times to match the change in self-assurance more than a thousand times to match the change in composure what made the difference was not chance but mind control while the course was in progress a Philadelphia Daily News reporter Joe Clark interviewed some students during a lunch break in an article that appeared September 27th 1972 he quoted 13-year-old Kathy Brady who had been biting her nails since she was eight I always bit them when I got nervous when I was in the auditorium this morning I felt like biting them but I didn't I just thought to myself don't bite your nails I closed my eyes and relaxed Pat Eisenhower told him she had passed up a fight with her younger brother something that had hardly ever happened before I told myself there's no use in getting mad why fight I didn't I also got rid of a headache this morning by telling myself to get rid of it I know it sounds weird but it works now let's compare results at this school with two other studies one at Lawrenceville a co-ed Catholic high school in Pittsburgh and the other at St. Fidelis a Catholic high school for men planning to become priests at Lawrenceville and St. Fidelis as at Hallehan their greatest change among the students was an ego strength what's more this change was uniform in each school the group profile improved to a degree that could have occurred by chance alone only once in a thousand times the same degree of change occurred in composure at Hallehan and Lawrenceville though less at St. Fidelis varying degrees of change in self-assurance though all sharply positive occurred at all three schools the findings of which the above are a part did not fully satisfy Dr. DeSalle although he was cheered by the positive results and reassured by the uniform pat turn of benefits from mind control something was missing tests of a group before then two weeks after mind control training do not indicate whether these benefits are of lasting value testing four months after me training would Dr. DeSalle did this at Lawrenceville and St. Fidelis he faced some surprises in all the above characteristics ego strength self-assurance composure the students of both schools improved far more over the four month period than they had during the two weeks immediately following the course ideas report on these studies Dr. DeSalle concluded perhaps the changes which took place with the above students in their various educational settings can best be evaluated from a perspective such as that held by John Holt educator and author it is Holt's position that the educational process has often been one of teaching stupidity through contributing to the increasing of anxiety guilt and almost continuous reliance upon the external environment for approval or disapproval all the conditions which may produce conforming neurotic robotic behavior but do little to enhance education or human growth there are reasonable grounds to believe the same conditions are found in other societal institutions the research data above indicate at least from the educational perspective a refreshing viable alternative a factor of change which is persistent and strong after mind control training is that of a shifting to internal points of reference another way of saying the recognition by an individual of his own value and a significant step towards self-control as opposed to being controlled by external others in most schools where mind control is taught teachers are urged to take it to the reasons all except one are obvious enough considering the benefits of the training the teachers become less flappable more patient far easier for students to spend their class hours with it is well known that a teacher who expects less from students gets less and one who expects more gets more the teacher trained in mind control has at first hand experience with what in chapter 14 joss six calls the cosmic bill of rights with its humanity-wide jurisdiction no teacher with this training can ever again scoff at anyone's mental equipment he knows the vast scope of every human mind too well for that he is a better teacher as a result even if his students have never heard of mind control however when the students and the teacher are mind control graduates great things happen in the classroom one grade school teacher in buffalo teaches her students to tune into george washington and other figures of the past to help them study history using techniques they learned in the final hours of mind control when they work cases this way they experience history and to help them later when they take tests they tune into her and find confirmation of their hand swore is another teacher this one on the college level has her students tune into philosophers for explanations of points they find obscure in their writings it works she says mrs joe little a mind control lecturer in virginia beach takes special delight in teaching youngsters from ages seven to 17 some of her experiences were reported in the ledger star of norfolk under the headline students excel after course in mind control one of her students was on medication for hyperkinesis the mother of this overactive young stirris quoted as saying the changes were absolutely fantastic after the course my son was able to stop tacking the medicine and bis grades went from c's to a's mind control gave him the knowledge that he had the power to change another students grades in junior high school jumped from c's before the course to a's after it still another was failing her spelling tests after the course she made a's on all her spelling tests and in one year her reading ability jumped from fourth to ninth grade level there was no practical way to compare those who chose to take the course with those who did not or to measure the difference between the two groups after war because of the three high schools where doctor desal conducted the before and after tests virtually all the students signed up for mind control this opportunity came however at the university of scranton in scranton pennsylvania professor donald l angel of the department of human resources of fur the course to graduate students in rehabilitation counseling enough students decided not to take the course to permit him and doctor desal to study some differences they gave a test similar to the one used at the high schools though designed for adults to thirty five students who took the course and thirty five who did not differences between the two groups showed up even before the course those who elected to take it were according to test results more open to experience and more inter-directed those who did not want the course were more traditional rulebound and practical a month after the course the two groups were tested again and while the original differences remained other significant ones had cropped up the mind control group was more emotionally stable and mature more self assured more relaxed than the other in short this study suggests that those who choose to take mind control are different from those who do not and that once they take it they benefit while a boost to self-esteem is important to everyone it can be of life-saving importance to the drug addict fighting his way to freedom from this addiction mind control has limited experience with drug addicts but the experience has proved instructive paul grievous co-director of the mind control center in manhattan wanted to see what mind control could do for the addicted he volunteered to start with four addicts two of them on methadone two still on heroin the two on methadone found the course useful but it did not freedom from methadone methadone is highly addictive and is used in many drug programs to free the addicts from heroin to withdraw from methadone is physically painful and the pains these addicts said were so severe that they could not concentrate on their mind control exercises one of the addicts still on heroin faced a family crisis the first day of the course and dropped out the remaining one was able to detoxify himself to become free of the drug for several months after the course then he telephoned mr grievous to report that he was back on heroin he asked to repeat the course mr grievous spent a day with him to reinforce his mind control training and again he became free of the drug months later he was still free then he moved away and mr grievous lost touch with him the second effort to help addicts through mind control was at a community project in the Bronx with 18 former addicts some of whom were administrators and staff of the project itself those who took the course said they felt far more in control of themselves than ever before and several of them months later reported they were even able to pass on some of their training to their families reliable testing before and after was not possible because three months later many of the original 18 were no longer available has anything been learned from these two experienced says yes says paul grievous while there is not yet statistical proof his experience indicates two things first mind control should not enter an addict's life for 48 hours and then leave the rest up to him for most of us it is a permanently transforming experience but for the addict with years perhaps a lifetime of strong negative conditioning to overcome plus a mental and physical addiction a greatly extended period of frequent reinforcement is necessary give me a drug rehabilitation program where i can do this grievous says and i'm sure i'll get results second difficult as drug addiction is to overcome the addict takes more easily to mind control training than do many others the reason mr grievous believes is that mind control involves an altered state of conciousness while most people have never altered their consciousness the drug addict has done it often what he has not done before is enter a useful level of mind where he gains control instead of losing at this is where mind control holds special promise for the addict although there have been no extensive studies in this area near a frequent enough success stories from individual graduates to suggest that mr grievous con guidance in mind control is well founded here is one from a graduate who cured his own add addiction in 1971 he is still clean i knew i had a serious problem an addiction to heroin how a course called mind control which claimed among other things to help people eliminate undesired habits was going to help me when i had already tried most drug rehabilitation methods was beyond my present level of understanding skeptical as i was after going to psychiatrists psychotherapists methadone programs and host pitles i was willing to try anything i was convinced i would not stay alive the three more years to my 30th birthday unless i stop heroin use and the lifestyle it required to obtain up to 200 a day worth of drugs a habit is nothing more than impressions on brain cells that have been reinforced by repetitive on said the mind control instructor changed the programming at the cause level the subconscious mind he continued and you change the behavior patterns at the effect level the outer con size dimension it made sense to me logically but my emotional levels were telling me i needed to use drugs to desensitize myself to life and the negative feelings i had about myself then the instructor gave us a technique for changing our self image from a week no willpower an effective person to a confident self-reliant healthy self imaged human being still skeptical but with a glimmer of hope i began to change myself in my imagination at the alpha level i programmed myself three times a day morning noon and night that by july 20th which was 30 days from the date of my initial programming all desire for drugs would disappear forever during the 30 days i continued to use drugs but decreased the amount used slowly planning it so that i would be off drugs completely by my target date on that great day in july i stopped using drugs and have never used them since it was not at all like the many times before when i would stop using drugs only to return a few days or weeks later this time i got feeling was i genuinely had no desire for drugs no willpower no substitute eons no suppressing of feelings and desires it works free at last alcoholism another addiction is far more widespread than drug addiction and darkens many more lives millions of them in the u.s alone its victims also have a desperate need to overcome feelings of helplessness failure and guilt to build self confidence and composure to ease their return to health these needs were met when 15 alcoholics took mind control in 1973 as part of a research project at a halfway house where they were under treatment the results were measured by dr. he administered the same personality test he had used earlier with the graduate students at the university of scranton and as in the earlier study he gave it once immediately before and again a month after the course the sharpest contrast between these is persons before the course and after it was in manipulative behavior there was a shift in the group profile away from slight control of events toward greater candor and openness in the pursuit of goals a shift which chance would produce only one time in a hundred times other changes generally followed the pattern seen among the high school and graduate students described earlier they had greater ego strength and self assurance were more relaxed and open to new experiences all cloud ideas of priceless value to anyone struggling for freedom from alcohol one of the most significant changes was a reduction in threat sensitivity or anxiety doctor de sal wrote the area of threat sensitivity with its high autonomic tenseness and overactivity maybe of considerable importance in understanding the behavior of the alcoholic it is very possible that alcoholics use alcohol as a means of attempting to balance out their mental physical symptoms alcohol as a response to balance the mind body in a threat situation could provide relief from that anxiety level and improved self-concept and ability to handle anxiety would seem to be a meaningful alternative to alcohol the director of the halfway house reported how each of the 15 new mind control graduates was doing six months later subject one no relapse since undergoing a 90-day rehabilitation program as since taking the mind control course has progressed from a very passive withdrawn your self-esteem will soar at 149 individual to an affable outgoing and dry-witted who morest subject to since taking mind control s has not x periods any relapses and has left the residency and treatment program at the halfway house it seems that s is developing a sense of well-being and confidence in self subject three no relapse is since undergoing rehab elita tion treatment in hospital program since the mind control course s has experienced definite progress in a program subject four no relapse is since hospitalization prior to taking mind control the mind control course has very definitely reinforced this therapeutic treatment program subject five no relapse has been experienced by s since discharged from hospital rehabilitation program subject six no relapses the s's sense of well-being is very definitely improving improvement is reflected in an apparent stabilization of his entire family his grades in college have also improved subject seven to date s has not experienced any relapses after mind control course s discontinued a program however it is evident that he is living the a philosophy family relations are also seemingly improving subject eight no relapse is since taking the mind control course family relations have vastly improved s has changed from a caustic angry type of individual to an affable love by neighbor temperament subject nine the subject a female has had no relapses and is presently employed subject 10 no relapse s is now goal-oriented and has definitely altered self-imposed limitations and is looking for opportunities for higher achievement subject 11 since taking mind control s has stated his life has progressively become better which is evident in the sense of well-being exhibited by his family and in his work record no relapses have been experienced by s subject 12 12 years in a program since taking mind control s has had one brief relapse of less than one hour's duration no subsequent relapses subject 13 no relapse is since discharged from hospital rehabilitation program since mind control s is progressively getting it all together improvement is noted in areas such as work family etc subject 14 since taking the mind control course s has had several relapses from all of which he has recovered on his own he has not been hospitalized for any of these relapses as was the case prior to taking mind control subject 15 eight years on and off a program hospitalized four times prior to taking the mind control course intermittent slips or relapses during this interim since taking the mind control course s has experienced four relapses two of them requiring brief hospitalizations mind control was obviously a powerful boost in the struggles of all but the last of these 15 alcoholics this one small study of course is not enough to prove that mind control should now be accepted as an integral part of the alcoholics treatment however the improved sense of well-being that has turned up so uniformly in before and after tests on students and sci-ciatric patients clearly suggest that those looking for better ways to help the alcoholics should give mind control a try there is another condition that involves shattered self-esteem not as self-imposed as drug or alcohol add fiction but even more widespread poverty causes of poverty and the remedies for it have been debated for as long as there have been human societies mind control does not enter this debate but it can be of immense help in persuading the poor to rally their strengths and help themselves this may sound to some as if the debate has already been entered as if in persuading the poor to help themselves we are assuming that they are to blame for their own poverty this is obviously untrue but every poor person can help himself break out of bis confines when he finds in mind control what all others find greater ability to control his own life the first serious effort to find out how useful if at all mind control might be as part of a rehabilitation program in social work was a study of 41 men and women on welfare it is well known that a person who finds himself out of work suffers a blow to his self-esteem this makes it more difficult for him to think and act his way out of his problem a defeated self-deprecating job applicants conducts lackluster interviews that prolong his unemployment in turn lowering his self-esteem even more this may ultimately lead to welfare if something could intervene in this downward spiral and provide a realistic boost to self-esteem the person would be in a more powerful position to help himself this roughly was the reasoning of larry codore director of the ottawa county department of social service in michigan he had taken the course himself and knew what the training could do the only question in his mind was whether the results could be measured and what the measurements would look like to design the research project and do the testing he and doctor de sal turned to doctor james motive of the psychology department of hope college in holland michigan for the test they chose the widely used six page hundred question tennessee self-concept test which measures five aspects of a person's opinion of himself physical self moral ethical self personal self family and social self the test was given twice once before the course and once after this alone might lead some to see the results as mere hawthorne effect in the mid 20s and early 30s western electric company launched a far-reaching research project to study various changes in working conditions that might improve employee morale at their hawthorne plant in chicago no matter what the company did morale sword they put something in morale sword they took it away morale sword again the conclusion was that folks are simply glad to be noticed and this shows up and improve morale to measure this possible hawthorne effect doctor motive tested another group of welfare recipients who did not take the mind control course they were tested twice but unlike the mind control group they experienced nothing special between the two tests there was no hawthorne effect those who received mind control training wound up with radically different views of themselves changes which in some cases exceeded chance by odds of millions to one changes were dramatic in all categories the new graduates saw themselves as far better persons than they had earlier thought they were and felt a new confidence in their ability to solve their own problems the degree of change led doctor motive to exclaim that the data are the most significant i have ever seen a report on this study said there had been some concern as to how receptive welfare mother in the depths of her misery would to a sudden input of mind control with its optimistic better and better philosophy that concern was quickly washed away on the second weekend 100% of those originally enrolled returned to finish the course and the original shy silence had been replaced by a buzz of animated conversation that threatened to turn the session into a full-scale revival meeting almost everyone had something constructive to report a new closeness to their children a chronic headache gone decreased frustration lost weight one radiant young mother used the mirror of the mind technique to find the answer to employment and saw only a hand writing a check the next day she got the job she'd always wanted it is generally a state of mind a damaged self-image that puts a person in prison and that corsons and brutalizes him while he is there and it is a state of mind that often ensures his quick return once he is free the kind of freedom that mind control could be expected to give a prisoner is the kind that can give the rest of us the smashing of mental confines that are manifested to many of us on the outside as headaches ulcers insomnia and failure in life's work and to the prisoner as walls and bars as well mind controls limited experience in prisons in decades that it results in an environment that is less brutal time spent there is no longer empty hours snatched by law from a person's life but a rich part of life itself hours of growing and self-discovery mind control may not make prison a happy hermitage but it can make it a more civilized place in which to grow although statistical studies have not been made the personal experiences of the prisoners and their instructors are far more eloquent lee lozzowick when he was mind controls area coordinator in new jersey he resigned early in 1976 to establish home a spiritual community taught the course seven times at raway state prison four times to a total of some 60 inmates and three times to prison staff there is no question he said about the benefits the inmates and staff received from the course you could see it in their faces officials were so impressed with mind control that prisoners who were studying for a college degree were given academic credit for the course ronald goriab who succeeded to mr lozzowick's mind control post offered the course to 10 inmates at the passek county jail in new jersey one man dropped the course when he was released from jail and wanted to return to complete it prison officials had to say no another requested solitary confinement after the course to help him meditate prison officials said yes still another using the mental screen technique program the job on the outside he found one all he needed for parole chapter 19 mind control in the business world imagine believing in murphy's law if anything can go wrong it will and at the worst possible time then suddenly discovering that there is no such law but instead the cosmic bill of rights that joss wrote about you feel luckier because you are luckier many mind control graduates say this is what happens in their working lives the salesman finds his customers more open to him the scientists find sudden answers to perplexing problems the professional athlete racks up better scores the unemployed find jobs the employed enjoy their jobs more when i meet with mind control graduates throughout the company said michael higgins 44-year-old director of employment development at the hoffman la roch ink plant in new yi new jersey i find a consistent positive attitude and cheerfulness reflected in these people and i experienced this on a continuing basis hoffman la roch is one of the world's giant far massutical manufacturers this may surprise you coming from a manufacturer of tranquilizers higgins said but we are open to alternative means of achieve his in better mental health and this was one of our motive attions for originally exploring silver mind control in 1973 another thing that motivated mr higgins to investigate the course is that few of the most effective employees of any company are fully as effective as they could be what he found at mind control led him to plan a pilot project that would lead initially to a company-back program and from their build enough enthusiasm to take off on its own he announced the plan signed up 50 people overnight and turned to reverend albert goreyeb pastor of a church in ney boring paterson who is one of mind control's more charismatic lecturers the plan succeeded now three years later there are more than 300 graduates of the plant top executives scientists secretaries engineers laboratory assistants and personnel managers some took the course under company sponsorship many on their own i was particularly fascinated by the research people who took the course at first they were the most vigorous scoffers but they turned out to be the most enthusiastic of all mr higgins said here are some comments from hoffman la roch's mind control graduates published in the plant's newspaper inside roch from a merchandising director it gave me a new sense of awareness about myself and the importance of interacting and working with fellow employees i am applying what i learned by trying to develop the ability to channel my interests and accomplishments so there is less wasted time and motion from an assistant biochemist my whole mental attitude has changed as a result i'm convinced that good tiling's really happened when you look at life positively it's amazing how much warmth sows between two po plea when you are pleasant and tolerant of each other from a personnel administrator it is one of the best things that has happened to me and i consider it a privilege to have been able to participate the course which emphasizes positive thinking helped me develop an inner peace and build up my confidence from the plant services supervisor mentally i feel better i don't worry as much or handle everything as an emergency and i've learned to relax and control my headaches the key to success's belief from a senior systems analyst increased confidence and a general feeling of well-being our results of the course which teaches us how to recognize parts of our nature that are usually ignored for example the program heightens sensitivity to other people and makes us more aware of intuitive experiences that the rational mind tends to deny a business built from the ground up with mind control techniques is the idea bank ink in chicago a co-op is for mind control graduates with marketable inventions it started when richard flairle who is in charge of mind control activities in the chicago area posed a complex marketing problem to see if the kind of intuition sparked by alpha and theta could lead to practical answers mr harrell with 10 years experience as a marketing consultant behind him already had a perfectly good answer it had taken him 10 years to work it out mind control graduates came up with perfectly good answers to in 10 minutes i pretty much expected something like this but what i wasn't ready for was that the non-technical peel pleaded far better on technical problems than experts they aren't locked into logic and can explore more possibilities i had to conclude he said that the combined intelligence of 20 people at their level tapping their creative imagination is about a thousand times as effective as the intelligence of 20 people trying to reassun their way to a solution using the same problem solving techniques himself he invented and patented a new way of making pre-stress concrete then mind control graduates began coming up with ideas of their own and needed marketing know how that's how the idea bank was born he explains all together the idea bank now in its second year has 18 inventions on already for the market and about a score in the works one is a leaf eater a lawn mower attachment for making mulch of leaves a firm which markets products by television bought two and a half million of them another is an adhesive patch for torn screens instead of being invisible this one catches the eye the bun plug is colored in shape like a bug the company meets once a month for problem solving through meditation its members are those with ideas with a profit potential they pay an initial fee plus a small monthly fee and share in the profits another business group founded by mind control graduates in the chicago area is or was an investment club a stockbroker thought his new ability to move backward or forward in time could be put to advantage in selecting stocks if in meditation you see a stock in the future buy it now and sell it in the future the plan appealed to mr harrell and the club was formed mr harrell the broker and other members were enthused a stick but not quite sure mind control has solved a sweeping spectrum of problems but never as far as anyone knew the problem of accurately foreseeing the ups and downs of prices on wall street with this healthy skepticism members held on to their cash during the first six months of weekly trial runs each week the broker provided the names of 10 stocks the members and alpha visualized themselves 30 days in the future they saw themselves in a broker's office or reading a newspaper learning how each of the stocks had done when they returned to the present in beta their findings were tallied when the vote was IVI to one in favor of a stock a purchase was made on paper at the very outset a problem cropped up members had to learn mac cheery optimism one of the marks of a mind control graduate is often a poor guide to what the stock market will do they started off seeing all the stocks rising however they learned quickly and were soon making hits the group's portfolio began to do better than the market average another problem set in with growing enthusiasm me psychic investors began reading about the stocks they had selected becoming more and more informed they brought this objective information to their medita tions and their paper profits dipped the answer to this was to give each stock a coded number so that no one would know which stock he was psychically studying results improved once again ahead of market averages now with six months of data proving that trained psychics can outpace the stock market it was time to put up real money the transition from trial runs to real investing went smoothly members racked up real profits when the market went down so did their stocks but not as much as the market as a whole when the market rose so did their stocks even more than the market however after about a year a hitch developed the market went down more than up the group's portfolio went down too though not as sharply still it was down and the pride the group felt in outperforming the market was tempered by their losses any sophisticated investor will tell you that money can be made instead of lost when the market is going down just sell short you sell a stock now even though you do not have it then buy and deliver it later after the price goes down perfectly legal but this is making a profit from others losses or to put it another way having a vested interest in bad news not for mind control graduates the club was suspended as this is being written the market is rising and mr harrell reports the members may start again his interest in mind controls usefulness in business extends to sports which he says is just as much a business as marketing new products and investing in the stock market you may have heard that a number of the chicago white socks players took mind control this was widely publicized in the summer of 1975 on cbs tv's 60 minutes and nbc tv's today show this was largely mr harrell's doing when the baseball season ended he compared the players individual scores before mind control and after they all improved most of them dramatically among the most enthusiastic mind control graduates are salesmen i go into my level and visualize a successful call the results have been remarkable every month i tell myself i'm going to produce x doll lars setting higher and higher goals and i keep macking them this was said by a salesman for one of wall street's more prestigious firms a vice president of a mind control in the business world i 161 small steel company said i tell myself i'm going to sell this guy and it works now i'm recommending it to my salesmen my partners even my children i think everyone can benefit by it and not soul lie in their work but in their personal lives as well in terms of numbers of reports from graduates the most impressive results are in finding new jobs the calm self-confidence that comes from mind control training probably accounts for this as much as any other factor the self-assurance necessary to seek out a better job the greater ease with which the graduate conducts job interviews these alone can turn the tide in a person's career a photographer with a wife and two children suddenly lost his job and he wrote to this lecturer if this had happened five years ago i would have hit the closest bar with all the justification in the world of getting roaring drunk and crying in the beer of the unemployed guy beside me now with mind control separating clouds so i could shoot aerial photos without shadows on the ground immediately healing dozens of cuts and bruises and finding dozens of lost articles just by looking on my screen i wasn't the least bit worried about it being able to find me another job all i did was enter my level and i saw myself going to college which i thought was a riot in view of the fact that i am already a college grad u8 investigation revealed however that i am actually eligible under the g i bill and will make four hundred dollars for the effort and that plus three hundred dollars from unemployment will give me seven hundred dollars take home which is two hundred dollars more than i was making when i had the job plus the fact that i can now pedal to ap upl in magazines another person who recovered from a sudden job loss was a very new graduate in new york he put in an angry phone call to joe six and said now tell me about mind control hosay calmly told him to keep working with his mental screen and other techniques three days later he called hosay in a sharply different frame of mind he just landed a job paying three times as much as the one he lost perhaps the most colorful experience with mind control in business is reported by a man and his wife who opened other people's safes here is how they do it one of them goes psychically to the laboratory evokes a vivid mental image of the safe and its owner then turns back the clock and watches closely as the man opens his safe the other acting as orientologist makes careful note of the numbers as they are called out later in beta the psychic pays a house call and in beta opens the safe for its amazed and grateful owner the psychic a licensed locksmith in the midwest is often called upon to open safes for owners who cannot recall their combination chapter 20 where do we go from here from the moment of your first accomplishment with mind control you will be launched on an odyssey of self-discovery what you learn about yourself will be all good news finally when you have made everything work for you as joss six has described in his chapters several paths for future development will be open to you you may through books or friends or other courses try out still more techniques and add to the mental tools at your disposal on the other hand you may find that even a miracle repeated over and over becomes commonplace and with the excitement of your new discoveries fading you may slack off and drift back to where you were at the outset or finding that one mind control technique works better for you than others you may specialize in that one and make it a reliable part of your life none of these paths is the best for you if you begin a search for other techniques you will find many that work chances are the ones you find have already been researched by hosay and set aside in favor of those now in his course those who become technique collectors take time away from developing a few useful ones to the point of mastery more on this later if you find that your excitement dims and you drift away from practicing mind control you will not be alone more important your experience will not be a total loss hosay has observed that once acquired mind control training is never completely lost and can be recalled and put to use in an emergency what many mind control graduates do is settle for one particular technique that works best for them the more they use it the better the results however there is a fourth way better man any of these three mind control is a very careful selection of mental exercises and techniques that reinforce each other to ignore one because it does not work as well for you as another is to pass up the opportunity of truly full development dream control reinforces your ability with the mental screen the mental screen makes dream control more reliable and vivid the course and joss six's chapters here are all of a piece the whole is much greater than the parts still you may wonder where you go next when you have practiced it all and made it work simply making mind control work is not enough there are always degrees of control subtleties of experience ahead of you a student once asked hosay at what point does a person know he has gotten out of mind control everything there is to get when you can convert all your problems into projects and make your projects work out the way you want them to he answered then he paused a moment and added no it goes deeper than that when you realize what enormous powers we were all born with when you see in your own experience that these powers can only be used constructively you come to realize that there is a dignity and a purpose behind our presence on this planet my own opinion is that the purpose we must serve is to evolve and this evolution is now our own individual responsibility i think most people have a kind of weak hunch about this the more you practice mind control the stronger this hunch becomes until it becomes a firm certainty it is this depth of experience that awaits you the firm certainty that mere is a benign purpose behind everything in mind control this comes not as a mice tickle flash after years of life renouncing meditation but quite soon out of the daily business of living more effectively from the everyday details of life as well as its destiny shaping events let's take a very small incident the kind of new mind control graduate might experience and we will see how it becomes a step toward building this firm certainty the first thing a recent graduate did on returning home from vacation was to remove the film from his camera and then search his luggage for another role of exposed film he could not find that the film was not a great loss but an annoying one it was a record of the first week of his vacation he went to his level and relived the moment he last put film in his camera but all he saw on his mental screen was the camera itself on his coffee table where he had put dye first roll in not the second he stayed at his level and went from one picture taking moment to another but still no scene of his reloading the camp era stubbornly the coffee table scene kept reappearing convinced that his mental screen had failed he turned into one role of film for developing when it came back it contained all the photographs he had taken from the beginning to the end of his vacation there never was a second royal as small as this incident was it provided the grad you ate with the first concrete reason he had encountered outside the class for having more confidence in his own mind with a few more small incidents like this then several major ones in which he helps not only himself but someone else as well his view of himself and the world view of himself and the world view of himself and the world view of himself and the world view of himself and the world view of himself and the world view of himself around him will change his life will be changed because he will be on the brink of that firm certainty along the way he may achieve something like the following a graduate who had been practicing mind control for several months had a daughter who was allergic to his family's two cats whenever she played with them she wheezed uncomfortably and broke out in a rash he put the problem then imagine the soluteon on his mental screen during his meditations for about a week the solution he imagined was his daughter playing with their cats breathing easily with no rash one day he saw in real life what he had been imagining his daughter was no longer allergic to cats both these cases involved the mental screen alone they were both successful so you might ask why bother with other techniques in the first case if the graduate had learned nothing except how to use his mental screen it is just possible that he would have achieved the same results assuming that he had simply triggered the recall of a forgot 10 fact and that higher intelligence did not come into play which is far from certain however the second case involved a broad range of mind control training going to level visualization x ur sizes effective sensory projection for the telepathic transmission of healing dream control and case working so that he could add a full measure of expectancy to his desire and belief with extensive practice your mind will begin to take short cuts it will become sensitive to faint signals on important matters and will pass them on to you without where do we go from here i 167 you're having to search for them one mind control graduates life may have been saved this way she was meditating one morning just before going to work using her mental screen to correct a small office problem when a large black x blocked out the scene she was trying to create then it blocked out all other scenes connected with her office a hunch too strong to ignore told her to avoid her office that day and she happily stayed home later she learned that if she had gone to the office that day she would have walked into an armed robbery in which several persons were badly injured this is the kind of information we would normally get with dream control but the mental screen was what she was using and that is where it came through here is another case in which the mind was so trained that in a serious emergency it was brought under control by a graduate without taking time to go into alpha many of the events described in the following letter were tested to by nine witnesses wednesday i came home from shopping my arms loaded with bags i opened the screen door which swung back only before i could open the inside door impatiently i gave the door a hard push to my horror case slam back fast and the pointed door handle stuck in my arm below the elbow i dropped the bags and slowly pulled the handle out of my arm i could see down through layers and layers of tissue into a deep hole then blood started to well up filling the hole flowing over i didn't have time to feel faint instead i concentrated intensely on stopping the bleeding a great surge of joy shot through me when the bleeding stopped i could barely believe my eyes while i was washing and cleansing the wound the first pains came i sat down and went to my level trying to find out whether i should cancel a trip to boston to hear major thompson at a mind control meeting and go to a doctor instead but i felt a strong urge to go to boston also a strong urge to test my belief in having learned to control pain i worked on my pain incessantly on the way to boston but during the lecture it became so severe and my fingers so numb that even at my level i could hardly stand it i felt guilty that i couldn't listen to the lecture yet next day i was able to repeat an almost word for word while in such severe pain i kept calling for help psychically over and over martha must have heard my cry because after the lecture as people went dared over to the coffee table she insisted on seeing my cut when i raised the bandage the wound was still gaping open a piece of flesh had been somewhat dislodged when i pulled out the handle and the skin around it was purplish black she went for help and having found out where the nearest hospital was came back with deniz storen i said i did not want to go to the hospital i wanted deniz to work on it so we withdrew to a quiet corner where deniz went to his level once he started to work on the wound my pain became so intense that i had to go to my level to work on it too as he began knitting the broken tissue together bit by bit his fingers seemed to draw out the pain in huge waves the wound became so sensitive i felt like screaming i tried to concentrate on making the pain go away and on sending help to deniz and to myself over and over and over again successfully combating the urge undoubtedly conceived in beta to tell him to stop and let me go to an accident room i really wanted it to work and after hours it seemed i could feel the pain begin to subside first i felt about 10 less pain than about 15 percent when deniz asked how it was about a quarter of the pain had gone as we continued the inner tissues mended then as the outer layers began to mend the pain became even more intense despite my concentration on the healing i was slinky conscious of people moving around me especially of someone standing behind me taking away some of the pain when i needed it most desperately i felt so grateful then the next wave started and i had to concentrate hard on coping with them then we worked on closing the deepest part of the wound i felt people forming a circle around us to give us strength i could feel the energy surging through me it almost lifted me off the chair deniz could feel it too and with the help of the others the healing progressed much faster some of those in the circle later told me that they could see the wound closing the swelling going down the skin turning from an unhealthy purple to reddish purple to red to pink and finally the two outer layers of skin coming together like the well-cut pieces of a jigsaw puzzle when we got back to where my car was parked my friends wanted to drive me to warwick they didn't want the wound to open up when i used my arm on the stick shift of the car but i refused i knew i would get home safely and so i did with absolutely no pain next morning i woke up in fine shape my arm felt as if i had been in a fight i've never been beaten up but i imagine it must feel like that but there was no pain and my arm looked great i sat up in bed and saw our beautiful world bathed in brilliant sunshine i felt as if i had been reborn as you can see if you continue to explore the potent heels of your mind it will pay off in priceless ways in this respect says doctor j wilfred hon mind controls director of research every mind control graduate becomes his own director of research in what other field of research he asked our expensive laboratories and sophisticated equipment so unnecessary the most sophisticated research tool ever developed one so remarkable that i am in all whenever i think of it is at your disposal and mine 24 hours a day our minds we are all therefore directors of research one important advantage that we have now is that for the first time in the history of modern science sci chic research is becoming respectable the danger of a serious investigator being put down as an irresponsible crackpot as joss six was in his early days is vastly reduced this danger however is not entirely behind us there are physicians learning to use mind control in their practice industrial scientists who use dream control to put them on the track of new products men and women in all walks of life some mention anony mousley in this book who say don't use my name my friends will think i'm crazy this is becoming more and more rare hundreds of thousands of mind control graduates proudly speak of what they are accomplishing with their training respected medical journals carry scientific and clinical papers on psychic healing and mind body interactions men and women in the public eye members of the chicago white socks and performing artists such as carol lorence and marguerite piazza larry blyden celeste home loretta switt alexis smith and vicky car all these have spoken out publicly of their mind control experiences where do we go from here down a long path of exciting self-discovery with each new finding you will be closer to the goal of the ultimate research project spelled out for us by william blake to see a world in a grain of sand and the heaven in a wild flower hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour appendix i the mind control course and the organization behind it joe s silva now you know what mind control is all about and what hundreds of thousands of men and women are accomplishing with it because the movement is so widespread and fast growing it is obviously not possible to tell you everything that every graduate has gained from this training if you know any mind control graduates you have probably heard a variety of reports on the benefits they are enjoying some use it for health some to help them study others in their business lives and family relationships and many who say little about it use it to help others given this variety of reports you may wonder whether the course differs from one lecturer to another no it is the same throughout the world as different as the lecturers may be as different for example as you would expect the minister to be from a former stockbroker and despite the vast freedom they are allowed in presenting the course the mental training and exercises and the results remain identical what does differ is the personal needs of those who take the course not everyone has the same problems the same needs each person as time passes after he graduates tends to focus on those parts of the training that confront most directly the problems he wants most to solve later as other problems arise long neglected parts of the course are put to work the techniques never forgotten are easily recalled when they are needed you will find this true when you have reread and put into practice the exercises in chapters 3 through 14 and then later review them nevertheless you may be tempted to say wet my problem is such and such so till just concentrate on that the course and the parts of it outlined in these chapters fit together in meaningful ways that have been tested to research and long experience one seeming glide unrelated part reinforces ale the others including whichever one may interest you the most some of what you would get if you took the course under a certified lecturer is omitted from my chapters here thus this you may wonder change the course it will change the course in two ways the speed with which you will learn it all will be considerably slower weeks with the book compared with 48 hours in a mind control classroom second there is an energy transfer among people in a group which is a major part of the peak experience or high you have read about however when you conscientiously learn all the exercises i have guided you through you will be able to do everything a mind control graduate can do the reason some parts of the course are left out is not to deliberately withhold anything from you but simply that they require a trained lecturer many graduates find that the exercises and mental training become powerfully reinforced when they repeat the course long after taking it the first time they are encouraged to do this and as a result 10 to 20 percent of a typical mind control class are repeaters many say the experience is even more intense the second time if you go on to take the course your first time will be a deeper experience because of your mastery of the techniques in this book here in outline is everything mind control students go through in their classes 9 10 20 10 40 11 30 12 12 20 12 51 the day begins with a lecture to give students a general preview of the entire course coffee break questions answers and discussion then a detailed preview of the first meditation the lecturer leads students for the first time to a meditative or alpha level of mind they may squirm or scratch as they wish though at this in deeper levels the body requires less attention as it becomes more relaxed particular lie while experiencing the ideal place of relaxation coffee break lecturer leads the students again into medita tion at a deeper level though still within the alpha range questions and answers and a general sharing of experiences by the students months break afternoon of the first day 2 3 23 40 4 10 4 45 lecturer discusses the building blocks of matt tur atomic molecular and cellular and the evolution of the human brain the need for mental house cleaning is discussed in detail coffee break the third meditation is explained in detail along with a swifter method of reaching the alpha level students enter a still deeper level of mind and achieve still greater physical relaxation coffee break the fourth meditation reinforces the previous three and previews the next one when dynamic meditation begins with problem solving techniques 5 30 the students many of them now relax more than they have ever been before share their experiences and pose questions 6 dinner break evening of the fint day 7 8 28 40 9 10 10 10 30 three problem solving techniques are described how to get to sleep without drags how to awaken on time without an alarm clock and how to overcome drowsiness and fatigue discussion follows coffee break during the fifth meditation the lecturer helps students learn these techniques while they are at their alpha and data levels the lecturer outlines the agenda for the sec on day then describes mind controls techniques for programming dreams and controlling migraine and tension headaches questions in a discussion follow coffee break the sixth meditation completes a day in which students have learned to meditate at deep levels of mind and to use these levels for relaxation and problem solving warning of the second day nine the lecturer briefly describes the day ahead and explains how to create and use the mental screen the lecturer then demonstrates his mastery of the memory pegs 10 20 coffee break ken 40 the memory exercise is explained in the next meditation is reviewed in detail 11 the 7th meditation during which through speed learning students begin to memorize the memory pegs and create their mental screen 11 40 coffee break 12 during a brief lecture students learn about the three fingers technique and how to use it for improved memory and for speed learning 12 15 the 8th meditation conditions students to the three fingers technique and teaches them to use it the second morning ends with questions and answers and a general discussion of what has been accomplished one lunch break afternoon of the second day two the second afternoon begins with a a exploded tion of one of the key problems solving techniques of dynamic meditation the mirror of the mind and elaboration of the mental screen in addition a deepening exercise hand levitation and a method for controlling pain glove anesthesia are discussed a question period follows coffee break another question and answer period followed by the ninth meditation during which students learn the mirror of the mind discussion follows coffee break the 10th meditation is the deepest yet at these deeper levels the memory pegs are reinforced and students practice the hand levita tion and glove anesthesia exercises the discussion period is largely a sharing of experiences dinner break 323 40 445 6 evening of the second day seven a lecture discussion explores various beliefs and some research on reincarnation the glass of water technique is explained as a method of triggering problem solving dreams 8 20 coffee break 8 40 after a brief question period students learn the glass of water technique 910 the lecturer explains how they use mind control to break unwanted habits 940 coffee break 10 the lecturer previews events of the third day and after a brief question and answer period begins the 11th meditation for habit control finally with a mind control graduate he may demonstrate how cases will be worked on the fourth day the students leave relaxed and with a growing sense of well-being warning of the third day 9 10 20 10 40 10 55 11 40 12 this eventful day opens with a discussion of the many differences between mind control and hypnosis particularly with respect to the spiritual dimension in which the students are about to function questions and answers coffee break students are told they are about to function psychically and as a first step will mentally project themselves from where they are to their own living room and then into the south wall of this room in particularly deep meditation students vivid lie experience effective sensory projection to their living room and into its south wall coffee break during which the students with growing excitement familiarize themselves with metal cubes lecturer explains that students will mentally project

living animal during the 15th meditation students visual eyes a pet and mentally project themselves into it their sensations as they enter the pet's organs will soon be useful as reference points in working human cases the discussion that follows is often the most animated so far dinner break evening of the third day 7 8 28 40 a lecture prepares students for objectively verifiable clairvoyant

give men plenty of unstructured time to become acclaimed this is part of the way a powerful group spirit develops a collective side chic energy that grows as the course progresses adding to everyone's confidence and success it also allows students to stretch and they go to the bathroom finally and not unimportant it allows them to return to the beta level which adds to the depth of later meditations for this reason many lecturers call coffee breaks beta breaks the lecture material is developed largely by the lecturers themselves around outlines provided by headquarters in lairdo they
