The
first stage
in
the evolution
of
living
beings
is
the
acquis i.t ion
of
a
membrane
that
separates
the
internal
medium from
the outside.
The purpose
of
this
membrane
is
not
to
isolate,
but
to
control
exchanges
between
these
two
mediums.
When
a driving system is
added
to
the membrane
and
then
a
"psychism"
organizes
control
of
the
exchanges,
the
internal
medium
becomes
capable
of
a
partial
control
over
the
external
medium.
This
power
depends
on
the
ac-
quisition
of
a
body,
that
is
to
say,
a
personal
space different
from
the exter-
nal
world.
In
this
paper,
we
propose
the
assumption
that
observed
stages
of
evolution
do
not
stop
here,
and
that
a
living being
also acquires
a personal
time
distinct
from
the
universal
time.
A
"psychism,"
controlling
a
body
cover-
ing
a personal
space
and also
a personal
time
is
therefore
capable
of
increasing
control
over
the
external
world
and
of
.
obtaining psychokinetic
effects.
The
personal
time
assumption
enables
a
psychophysical
model
to
be
built,
which
maintains
the
general
principle
of
causality,
and provides
a logical
inter-
pretation
of
the
psychokinetic
effects.

A

case
occurred
in

in
1979.
The
oc-
cupants
of
the
studio apartment
where
the
events
occurred
were
a
70-year-old
grandmother
and
her
13-year-old
grand-
son.

the
case.
The
anomalous
phenomena
were
object
movements
of
the
RSPK
or
poltergeist
type,
and
they
occurred
during
a
3-hour
period
on
a
Saturday
night
and
a
2-hour
period
on
the
following
day.
Objects
were
household
items
that
often
crashed
or shattered against
the walls.
Charac-
ter
testimonies
gathered
from
neighbors
and relatives
cast
some suspicion
on
the
grandson.
He
could
have
caused
the
ob-
ject
movements
during
the
night,
but
he
probably
would
have
been
caught
during
the
day.
Some
psychological
analyses
were
made
of
the
grandson’s
drawings.

Perception,
which corresponds
above
all
to
an
interaction,
may consist
of
supraliminal
( above
the
awakening
threshold
of
consciousness)
or
sub-
liminal
( below
the
awakening
threshold
of
consciousness)
information,
action,
and
communication
(normal
and
para-
normal).
Thus,
the
notions
of
subcep-
tion,
infraliminal
interactions
in
psy-
chosomatic,
subliminal
motoricity,
up
to
cryptomnesia,
as
defined
by
F.
Myers,
introduce
a
hypothetical
explanatory
pattern
of
several aspects
of paranormal
communication.
The latter should
there-
fore
be
studied
in
a wider
field
of
in-
terconnections,
interrelations,
and
in-
teractions,
which would
be
mediated
and
represented
at
the sensorium level.
Lastly,
by
their
teleological
and
situational
aspects,
the
"subliminal
self"
interactions
tend
to
show
the
sociocultural
and
nonconscious
subjuga-
tion of normal communication
in general;
and paranormal communication especially,
which
sets
up
a
personal
or
collective
reaction
to our principle
of reality
and
our
structure
of
thinking.
They
should
be,
from
now
on,
located
in
their
his-
torical
context.

The
author
describes
the
hauntings
that
troubled
the
house
of
a
Protestant
pastor
of
Macon,
Francois
Perrault,
in
the
autumn
of
1612.
In •teaace
in
1610,
an
old
monarch
was
stabbed
'to
death,
leaving
a
young
king
12 years
old
under
the
guardianship
of
a
Queen-Mother.
By
the
death
of
the
king,
the
garden
of
France
was
changed
into
an
anxious
jungle,
especially
for
the
Protestants
whose
fate
had
become
extremely
uncer-
tain.
A
sword
of
Damocles
hung
over
their
heads
in
this
time
of
anguish
and
fear,
and supernatural
manifestations
appeared
in
many
places.
After
several
poltergeist
uproars,
a
voice
was
heard
revealing
secrets
concerning
the
master
of
the
house,
his
neighbors
and
fellow
townsmen,
and
even
suspicious
cir-
cumstances surrounding
the assassination
of
King
Henry
IV.
The
demons
played
on
all
the
fears
of
the
Protestants —
of
losing
their rights
and even suffering
a
massacre
--
a
repetition
of
the
"massacre
of
St.
Bartholomew's
Day"
when,
in
1570,
Huguenots
were
butchered
in
a blood bath.
In
his
book Demonology ,
Perrault
describes
how
the
demons
swept
through
the
town
of
Macon,
taunting,
frighten-
ing,
and
bedevilling
many
people
there.
The

sonalities

The
demons
would
put
on
different
per-
sonalities
to
fit
the
fears
of
the
people
they
were
haunting.
He
analyzes
the
impersonations
and
classifies
them
as
the
Savoyard
soldier,
the
valet,
the
hunter,
the
apprentice,
the
domestic
servant,
the nobleman,
the advocate,
the
doctor,
the
trickster,
and
the ghost.
He elaborates
on
this
"epidemic"
of
hauntings
in
Macon
and
nearby
towns.
The
demons were
not
restricted
to
one
place
but seemed
to
travel wherever
they
chose;
and
they
could
imitate
dialects
and
affect
work
and
crops.
The
author
considers
this
widespread
outpouring
of
the
paranormal
to
be
a
result
of
the
profound cultural
and psychological
con-
flicts during
the minority of Louis
III.
In
the
judgment
of Perrault:
"At
the
time
when
this
Demon
was
among
us,
the
Devil
seemed
to be unchained."

^
A
study
of
sixteenth
century
European
sorcerers'
"ointments
of
flight"
should
include
on
the
one
side
historical
sources
(e.g.,
sorcerers'
testimony)
and
on
the
other
side
the
medical
environment
that
was
also
con-
cerned with
such
a
product.
The
result
of
this
inquiry
shows
a cultural
dif-
ference
between
two
languages.
First,
the
testimony
in
court
proceedings
chronicles
how
the
plants
were
taken
from
the
sorcerers
because
of
their
properties
as
defined
by
popular
medicine
(e.g.,
alleviating
menstrual
symptoms),
properties
that
were
always
embedded
in
a magico-mythical
tradition.
Second,
work
of
sixteenth-century
doc-
tors
and
occultists
of
the
time
(i.e.,
"natural
magic"
practitioners)
takes
into account only
the naturalist proper-
ties
of
a
restricted
groups
of
hal-
lucinogenic
plants,
the Solanees,
al-
though
this
group of plants
is
almost
nonexistent
in
the
testimony of
the sor-
cerers,
who
are
themselves
concerned
with
their utilization
as an ointment
of
flight.
In
order
to
document
the
his-
torical
bases
of
this
veritable
rationalist
myth,
the
author makes
an
appeal
to
the enormous development
of
botanical
research
in
the sixteenth cen-
tury.
Concretely,
this
development
was
realized on
the
theoretical
level
by
the
diffusion
of numerous works
about plants
and
on
the
practical
level
by
the
col-
lection
of plants
from
the
mountains,
permitting
researchers
to
obtain
a
rich
herbarium,
principally
of
Solanees,
and
to
classify
them,
to
cultivate
them
in
gardens,
and
to
do
experiments
as
have
been reported
by Cardan
and Porta.
This
rationalist
myth
played
the
role
of
a
tool
that
reduced
magic
to
an
illusion
and
reduced
chemical
properties
to
"plants
of illusion."
The author refers
to
one
of
his
studies
that
situates
the
passion
of
Michelet
(author
of
Sor-
ceress,
1862)
for
Solanees,
"the
plant
of
the
sorcerers,"
less
as
a
serious
study
of
the
legal
proceedings
by
this
great
historian
than
as
a
medical
valorization
for
his
contemporaries.
These
two
examples
illustrate
the
refusal
of
the
dominant
culture
to
re-
store
the
language
of
the
popular
cul-
ture,
each
time
substituting
its
own
historical
goals
for
those
of
the
sor-
cerers.

the
ques-
tion
arises:
Is
