religious
activities
related
to
the paranormal
in
various
countries and
continents
are
sum-
marized
in
this section. Although space will not permit a detailed
listing of every organization and activity, we have sought to include
a
representative
list
of
universities,
institutes,
foundations
and
individuals
involved
in
some
aspect
of
research
or
teaching
in
parapsychology.
The quality of research cannot always be judged by the
size of
the
grant made
to
the
project,
even
though
it
is
obvious
that
extensive
research
is
impossible
without
the
necessary
resources,
whether
they
come
from
government,
private
f- uniat -.ns
or
individuals.
In most instances, we have onlv listed the country and the types
of activity reported.
In some
cases, where more detailed informa-
tion
is available and snace permits, we have briefly described
the
activities and given the names oi one or more key workers involved.
The reader or student
is encouraged torontact organizations which
might
provide
additional
information
on
the
topic
of
special
interest
to him or her. Those
interested can:
il) subscribe
to one
or more of the publications listed.
(2) consider rfiemberrhip in those
organizations which
represent
’heir
general
interest, and

con-
tribute
or make

to

and
institutions
which they think can best help to promote research and education
in their area of special
interest.

Germany
has
its
share
of
enthusiastic
supporters
and
strong
antagonists when
it comes to integration of paranormal phenomena
into
existing
conceptual
frameworks.
People
like
Zoellner
and
Schrenck-Notzing received both
recognition and
ridicule for their
efforts
in
exploring
the
unusual. During
the
Hitler period
every-
thing
related
to
the paranormal which
did
not
fit
the
goals and
ideology of the Third Reich was suppressed or liquidated, although
Pauwels and
Bergier
in The Morning
oj the Magicians maintain
that
Hitler himself was clairvoyant and
that he surrounded him-
self
with
astrologers
and
prophets.
Eric
Hanussen.
a
famous
clairvoyant,
was
assassinated by
the
Nazis because
his
ability
to
“see”
their secret projects was a threat
t" the regime. Today there
are societies concerned with dowsing and the use of the pendulum,
metaphysical
research, voga,
Spiritualism, psycho-physical
investi-
gation and psychical and spiritual studies.
