these are of course very rough autobiographical note that I want on
usenet in the event I am bumped off so that history will know the truth!

The Einstein barrier for the motion of matter is the wall of light.  My new
physics does smash this wall in three distinct ways.  The first is by
communication without energy propagation using the quantum spin connection
beyond space-time.  The second is superluminal propagation of energy by
short wave tachyons in real time.  The third is transluminal propagation of
energy by long wave Euclideons in Hawking{XE "Hawking, Stephen" \r
"Hawking"}'s imaginary time.  I shall explain these ideas later on.

I continued to commute between Trieste and Paris on the Semplon Express all
through the winter and spring of 1974.  One of my side trips took me to the
house of a lady friend of Robert Graves49{XE "Graves, Robert" \r "Graves"}
in the village of Lluch Alcari near Jacob's Tower on the island of Majorca.
The atmosphere of the place is heavy with the presence of the Magus.  I
experienced the feel of ancient times.
I linked up with Brendan O Regan in London.  Brendan asked me to write a
paper on physics and psychic phenomena for the journal Psycho-Energetic
Systems (Pergamon50) that he had some connection to.  I quickly scribbled
some dribble with a pencil and gave it to O Regan.  He rewrote it and
published it in my name.  The paper appeared after the Geller tests.  David
Bohm did not like what I wrote and he wrote a rebuttal to it with Basil
Hiley{XE "Hiley, Basil" \r "Hiley"}.  To paraphrase Nietzsche, a great man
must choose great enemies.  Uri Geller told me, "I don't care what they
write about me as long as they spell my name right."

O Regan and I were at Cambridge attending a meeting on psychic research
sponsored, if I remember correctly, by Ted Bastin's group of new age
physicists and computer scientists.  Nobel prize physicist Brian
Josephson51{XE "Josephson, Brian" \r "Josephson"} was there.  After the
meeting a spritely Englishman walked up to me and introduced himself as
Dennis Bardens{XE "Bardens, Dennis" \r "Bardens"}52.  He said: "Dr.
Sarfatti, may I take you to dinner?"  Fred Wolf was there and he suggested
I go with Bardens.  We had a good dinner of duck in cherry sauce at the
Blue Boar Inn.  After dinner, over brandy and cigars, Bardens leaned
towards me with a conspiratorial wink and said: "First, I want you to know
that I am a qabalist."  After a dramatic pause he continued in a more
officious tone: "Dr. Sarfatti, it is my duty to inform you of a psychic war
raging across the continents between the Soviet Union and your country and
you are to be in the thick of it!"
Act Two- In the thick of it!
It was the night before the first Birkbeck test of Uri Geller.  Brendan was
visibly nervous.  He asked me to go with him to see the Soviet science-
fiction film Solaris.  Brendan had mentioned that Olaf Stapeldon{XE
"Stapeldon, Olaf" \r "Stapeldon"}'s science fiction story Star Maker, about
a time travelling super-intelligence, was based upon real experiences that
a high member of British Intelligence53 had in the nineteen thirties.  The
big day arrived.  Arthur C. Clarke{XE "Clarke, Arthur C." \r "Clarke"}54
was there with a high official from Rolls Royce.  Arthur Koestler{XE
"Koestler, Arthur" \r "Koestler"}55 was also there along with John
Hasted56, David Bohm and a few others.  These events have been described by
Martin Gardner{XE "Gardner, Martin" \r "Gardner"}57 and I will not discuss
them here.  What happened after the tests is more important.  If I remember
correctly, Brendan and I went with Uri to his hotel room where I met
Andrija Puharich{XE "Puharich, Andrija" \r "Puharich"}58, Sir John
Whitmore{XE "Whitmore, Sir John" \r "Whitmore"} and, perhaps, Ira
Einhorn59{XE "Einhorn, Ira" \r "Einhorn"}.  I could be wrong about
Einhorn60.  I startled Uri by asking him if he could trigger a nuclear
weapon by psychokinesis.  I later found out from Ron Mc Rae{XE "Mc Rae,
Ron" \r "Rae"}61 and Harold Chipman{XE "Chipman, Harold" \r "Chipman"} that
some of our intelligence people were greatly concerned about that
possibility.  I may have initiated that concern because I had mentioned it
several times to large groups of people at several meetings.
I was back in Paris several weeks later with Sharon.  Fred Wolf said:
"Jack, I'm going to introduce you to a man who will change your life."
Fred took me and Sharon to the swank Ritz Hotel.  We waited in the lobby
and a guy who looked like Richard Gere62{XE "Gere, Richard" \r "Gere"} in a
jump suit walks in with a woman.  He says: "Hi, I'm Werner Erhard."  I had
never heard of the guy.  I said, "What do you do?"  Werner{XE "Werner
Erhard" \r "Werner"} replied: "I make people happy."  I thought, "Why am I
wasting time with this yo yo?" and, hoping to make a quick exit, said in a
sassy Damon Runyon{XE "Runyon, Damon" \r "Runyon"} manner, "Oh yeah, I
think you must be some kind of an asshole!"  Werner's face became
positively radiant and he cracked a Mephistophelian63 smile embraced me
saying: "I will give you money when you come to San Francisco."  I was
taken aback by an unexpected offer I could not refuse.  I was under
contract with E.P. Dutton by then and was planning to go to Chicago to
finish Space-Time and Beyond at Bob Toben's place.  Werner then outlined
his plan for me to set up a sort of Ghost Busters team of physicists to
research psychic phenomena and in his words "the physics of consciousness".
Werner said that he was very interested in physics and that he wanted me
and Fred Wolf to tutor him and his "trainers".

We flew to New York. Sharon and I spent a few days with Uri Geller, Ira
Einhorn, Bob Toben, Sir John Whitmore and Andrija Puharich at Puharich's
large house in Ossining.  Puharich gave me his book URI.  I did not have
time to read it but I gave it to my mother in Brooklyn a few days later.
My mother (Mildred{XE "Mildred Jacobson-Sarfatti" \r "Mildred"}) was
reading the book64 when she suddenly exclaimed: "Jacky{XE "Jacky Sarfatti"
\r "Jacky"}, Jacky this is what happened to you!"  What happened to me?
What are you talking about Ma?"  "The computer in the flying saucer that
called you on the telephone when you were a little boy.  Don't you remember
when you got all those phone calls?"  An electric shock went through me - I
only remember one phone call.  "What do you mean phone calls?  I only got
one call."  "No you didn't! Jacky what's the matter with you. You got three
weeks of these crazy calls.  You were on the phone for hours at a time
walking around glassy-eyed.  I got worried and grabbed the phone away from
you.  I said 'Who is this?  Why are you calling my son?  I heard that voice
it said it was a computer and that it wanted you to come back to the
telephone.  I said 'Don't you call back here again!' and hung up and that
was that."  Not even a super-technological conscious computer on board a
flying saucer from the future can argue with a Jewish Mother!

Bob Toben drove Sharon and me down to Philadelphia.  We stayed with my
literary agent Ira Einhorn and his doomed girl friend Holly Maddux{XE
"Maddux, Holly" \r "Maddux"}65.  Ira introduced took us to the mainline
mansion of Arthur Young{XE "Young, Arthur" \r "Young"}.  Young was the
inventor of the Bell Helicopter and was a close friend of Charles
Lindburgh{XE "Lindburgh, Charles" \r "Lindburgh"}.  Young's wife was an
heiress of the Forbes Steel fortune.  Young financed the Institute for the
Study of Consciousness in Berkeley California.  He invited me to stay
there.  Einhorn told me he would introduce me to Stewart Brand{XE "Brand,
Stewart" \r "Brand"}66, Michael Murphy67{XE "Murphy, Michael" \r "Murphy"}
and George 68Leonard69 when I got to San Francisco.  He was very concerned
about what he called "Soviet breakthroughs in psychotronic weapons of mind
control at a distance using ELF and sound waves".  He said he had support
from the local telephone company and from the Bronfman{XE "Bronfman" \r
"Bronfman"}'s 70 in Toronto to link up visionary scientists like myself.
He also said he was working with Jacques Vallee{XE "Vallee, Jacques" \r
"Vallee"} and Brendan O Regan on a UFO data base.  Ira mentioned that he
was working with Congressman Charlie Rose (D. North Carolina){XE "Rose,
Charlie" \r "Rose"} of the House Select Committee on Intelligence71.  Rose
confirmed his connection to Einhorn in a telephone conversation with me.

"The rich attorney was good as his word.  The briefs came trooping daily.
And every day my voice was heard at sessions of Ancient Bailey.  All fools
who could my fees afford relied on my orations.  And many a burglar I've
restored to his friends and his relations!"
- Trial by Jury, Gilbert & Sullivan

Werner was as good as his word and promptly had his est Foundation write me
an initial $5,000 check (Autumn 1974).  Einhorn did his job as my literary
agent and arranged a meeting at Arthur Young's Institute in Berkeley that
included Michael Murphy, Hazel Henderson72{XE "Henderson, Hazel" \r
"Henderson"} and another physicist Saul Paul Sirag73 {XE "Sirag, Saul Paul"
\r "Sirag"} who was Barbara Honegger{XE "Honegger, Barbara" \r
"Honegger"}'s74 lover.  Werner gave me free run of his organization which I
found rather odd.  The estoids all seemed to be glassy-eyed and a little
creepy.  One in particular, Raz Ingrasci{XE "Ingrasci, Raz" \r "Ingrasci"}
talked about Werner as if he were God-incarnate.  One day Raz said he would
jump out of a high window if Werner ordered him to.  One day I noticed a
table with a sign that said "Bulgarian Desk"75.  There were a lot of pretty
young women who were easily available since I was known as one of Werner's
special friends - a Prince of the Court.  Werner was always very warm with
me and invited me to many dinners both at Franklin House and at expensive
restaurants.  He never carried any money or credit cards.  We were always
escorted (in a Mercedes) by a security team who also paid all the bills.

A former student of physicist John Wheeler{XE "Wheeler"}76, Robert
Fuller{XE "Fuller, Robert" \r "Fuller"}, was head of Werner's Foundation.
Fuller had been President of Oberlin College but had suffered a mid-life
crisis and fallen under Werner's influence.  Fuller now heads the World
Watch Institute in Washington.  I surmise that Fuller77 was jealous of
Werner's fondness for me and that this was a factor precipitating my
falling out with Werner.  I was worried about the crypto-Nazi feel of the
est-org, but I had hoped that Werner would get his intellectual act
together and say something of genuine interest in terms of physics and
philosophy.  I was not at all subserviant to Werner in his presence like
most of the wimpy left-wing academics that surrounded and apparently adored
him.  Some of these half-wits called him the "new Heidegger."  Comedian
Professor Irwin Corey{XE "Corey, Professor Irwin" \r "Corey"}78 made more
sense.  There was a lot of talk of Werner running for President one day.
Werner said he would appoint me to be head of the National Science
Foundation.  Werner's brother Nathan Rosenberg{XE "Rosenberg, Nathan" \r
"Nathan"} was a Naval Officer aide to Harold Brown{XE "Brown, Harold" \r
"Brown"} who was Jimmy Carter{XE "Carter, President Jimmy" \r "Carter"}'s
Secretary of Defense.  Kevin Garvey{XE "Garvey, Kevin" \r "Garvey"} told me
that Werner had fifteen of loyal estoids in the Carter White House.  Werner
was very active with trainings of government people in Washington D.C.  In
fact, Harold Chipman told me that he had taken the est Training with a lot
of his associates when he was a CIA officer.  Carter79 had created Project
Scanate80 for remote-viewing of military targets by psychics.  Werner used
remote-viewing in his training and he also contributed money to SRI for
that project.

Werner had me meet with several Stanford and U.C. Faculty before he set up
the Physics Consciousness Research Group at Esalen with me and Michael
Murphy as co-directors.  Michael arranged all our activities in Big Sur.
Saul Paul Sirag81 was my chief assistant.  Michael arranged for Jean
Lanier{XE "Lanier, Jean" \r "Lanier"} to supply me with money.  Jean, who
resembled Shirley MacLaine82{XE "MacLaine, Shirley" \r "MacLaine"}, was the
widow of the late Chairman of the Board of Stone-Webster Engineering.  Her
current husband was an Episcopal Priest Sidney Lanier{XE "Lanier, Sydney"
\r "Sidney"}.  Sidney was a close friend of the late Bishop Pike{XE "Pike,
Bishop" \r "Pike"}.  He was active in New York off-broadway and also was a
close friend of Jose Ferrer{XE "Ferrer, Jose" \r "Ferrer"} who I resemble.
Jean rented a five bedroom suite for us on top of Nob Hill83. She was a
close friend of Laurance Rockefeller{XE "Rockefeller, Laurance" \r
"Rockefeller"} who would telephone the Nob Hill flat looking for her.

I attended the est April Celebrity Training of 1975.  The list of trainees
included Ellie Coppola, Sterling Hayden, Michael Murphy, Buzz Aldrin, Ted
Ashley, Jerry Rubin, Fred Wolf, Saul Paul Sirag and many others.  Sterling
Hayden quickly walked out calling Werner a "Nazi" and pushing away some
estoids who tried to block his passage.  Michael Murphy was angry at
Werner.  I was sitting with Astronaut Buzz Aldrin who was having a severe
kidney problem.  Werner got all confused when he tried to talk about the
new physics.  He let me explain to the group in ordinary language what he
was trying to say in his hypnotic estspeak.  The trick of est is to seduce
your consciousness by subverting the English language with dominating
psycho-babble.  It was right out of George Orwell's 1984.  The est-training
did get every one high.  It must have been how the SS officers felt after
being indoctrinated as leaders of the Master Race.  I was introduced to
Ellie Coppola during a break in the training.  She had just read Space-Time
and Beyond. Ellie invited Fred Wolf and me to her home at at 2800 Broadway
at 2am after the training.  We met her husband Francis Ford Coppola.  The
first thing Francis said to me was that he did not like Werner Erhard but
that he would not tell his wife what to do.  I was getting suspicious of
Werner especially after I heard the rumor that he said he changed his name
from Jack Rosenberg to Werner Erhard to "give up Jewish weakness for German
strength."

I started to spend a lot of time at the Coppola's house.  I introduced them
to Uri Geller and to French UFO scientist Jacques Vallee84.  I think Steven
Spielberg and George Lucas were there as well that time but I am not sure.
Vallee became technical consultant to Close Encounters of the Third Kind as
a result of that introduction.  Francois Truffaux played the role of
Jacques Vallee in the film.  Ira Einhorn had introduced me to Vallee.
Einhorn and Vallee were working together on a computer network project.

I met Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, Milos Forman, Saul Zaentz, and Hans
Syberberg at various parties at the Coppola's.  The meeting with Syberberg
at Francis's showing of Our Hitler is of particular importance as we shall
see later.

I received a phone call from a man named George Koopman85 during one of our
Esalen seminars in 1976.  He asked if he could come to Big Sur.  I said
yes.  Koopman soon became a financial patron of my Ghost Busters86 at
Esalen.  Koopman was a close friend of Dan Akroyd and my group was the
inspiration for the film Ghost Busters.  He provided money through military
contracts with the Air Force and the U.S. Army Tank Command funnelled
through his company Insgroup in Irvine, California.

Koopman was addicted to cocaine and would talk freely when high.  He told
us that he was related to Arthur Krock of the New York Times.  He said that
he had blown the whistle on U. S. Army Intelligence domestic spying to the
New York Times.  Koopman said that he had worked on the "kook desk" for the
Defense Intelligence Agency and that they and the CIA were very interested
in the kind of new physics we were working on.  They were especially
interested in machines that could tell the future87 and in new kinds of
aircraft propulsion systems.  Koopman liked to show how he could open
locked doors with his burglar tools that he always carried in his brief
case.  He showed me a letter from the miltary giving him permission to have
the tools.

 Koopman was very interested in Werner Erhard's tax structure.  I took
Koopman to meet Werner.  Werner was in a room with a large blackboard.  On
the board were several references to "UFOs" and "extra-terrestrial
contacts."  Werner did not seem to trust Koopman.

I found out through one of my girlfriends88 that Koopman succeeded in
spying on the Arica organization.  Koopman, Sirag and I had heard weird
stories from Jan Brewer at Esalen that Arica was started in Chile by high
ranking fugitives from the Third Reich who were masters of the occult.
Many of the regulars at Esalen, including some of our group like Dr. John
Lilly and Claudio Naranjo, had been in the first Arica training in Chile.

Timothy Leary was released from prison.  Leary became part of my group at
Esalen.  Leary was a close friend of Michael Murphy.  George Koopman
arranged for Leary and me to lecture together at the Arthur Young's
Institute in Berkeley.  Koopman spent a lot of money hiring a professional
T.V. crew to record us.  Robert Anton Wilson, Nick Herbert and Saul Paul
Sirag participated in this event.  Koopman became Leary's business manager
and publisher.  Leary's message was SMI2LE (Space Migration Intelligence
Increase Life Extension) which is also the message of this book.

Koopman sabotaged me at Esalen by suddenly breaking his contract and
stopping the cash flow he had committed.  The ostensible reason was that I
had insulted the New Age seminarians at Esalen by calling "idiots and
morons" which I did.  Werner would say much worse in his trainings.
Koopman was very high on cocaine when he confronted me with this supposed
sin.  Koopman would show up at the Cafe Trieste on several occasions years
later.  I surmise that Koopman was ordered by higher ups to cut me out of
the Esalen picture because I was too much of a "loose cannon" that they
could not control.  They replaced me with my assistant Saul Paul Sirag and
with Nick Herbert who continued to run the Esalen seminars.  The former CIA
station chief, Harold Chipman basically confirmed this for me in 1985.  It
may be that Koopman's death in 1989 was no accident. That's just a hunch.
Chipman's death around the same time as Koopman's may also not have been
from natural causes.
