For example, there is a person who is paralyzed because of nerve damage. If this person wants his hands to regain their functions, he must find some way to grow new nerve channels. How should he do this? He does not know. He tries his best and makes clear just what the possibilities of movement are, and to concentrate and carefully observe just what movement occurs. He can not describe or even imagine what he is doing to make his hand move. In addition, he cannot produce any controlled movement at first which results in a consciously predicted result. It is fairly clear that it is a random and chance unconscious function of the brain leading to a connection between the brain and the _ hand. if he continues his interest and exercise, he will often discover that his movements are moving toward approaching his preset goals. However, it should also be pointed out that if people around him believe it is impossible for him to move his hand or there are antagonistic feelings which make him nervous, then it is not very likely that he will be able to continue the necessary interest and activity to move his hands. People working with this type of paralyzed person (such asa therapist) obviously cannot oppose the view that "he can move his hand". The view of the paralyzed person and the view of his co-workers are two major factors leading to success. The persons concerned must admit to the possibility of the maximum success, and at the same time, continue to test for the recovery of health, and not restrict it to certain results over certain periods of time. Although the methods used are different from traditional methods used in natural sciences, reliable results can still be achieved in therapy. The similarity between this and research into telekinesis is fairly obvious. The major difference between them is: We can illustrate and to some degree explain the connection between the hand of the paralyzed person and his brain {connected by nerves). However, with present day scientific knowledge, we are unable to illustrate or explain the connection between the brain and the object moved or bent. However, if we imagine that at the present time there are several unknown binding forces, binding energy or binding method, then we could also hypothesize that telekinesis is effected by using some kind of force similar to the force of moving the hand. Then there would be those who believe there might exist some type of unconscious "grouping" connection. In many situations, there exist a type of visible feedback which can allow aware of what. he is doing. Furthermore, this feedback allows strive to continue along that same route which cannot be described and cannot be determined. However, it is possible that there are other forms of feedback which exist. If a piece of metal can cause a reaction in the brain through some unknown method, the brain similarly may be able to cause a reaction in the metal, and = even if the people concerned are completely unaware of the object involved, because they are consciously a person to be him to 37 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300010002-2

We also know that we are not experts on magic. Therefore, if any intention of trickery existed, we, like everyone else, would be easily duped. Furthermore, there are a number of opinions which stress the possibility that this is a trick. Therefore, there are often people who propose having a skilled magician assist in the observation to ensure there is no possibility of trickery. very naturally, this type of insurance is in actuality every new sight is an oddity and often appears in a surprising manner. A gifted magician can always take advantage of it. The tricks are not always the same, but continuously changing and developing. Therefore, at the most a magician will say he does not know how to do the trick to do an entirely visible effect. Naturally, if several recognized skilled magicians were to reach a conclusion that under certain circumstances there was no trick to what was performed, it would help produce a judgement that accepted that paranormal ability phenomena are real. We welcome in principle this sort of assistance in reducing the possibility of trickery. However, we have observed that magicians often harbor a certain wariness toward the overall intentions of this sort of investigation which causes them to tend to create a tense atmosphere. In this sort of atmosphere, mo one can do anything. Actually, if there were few magicians who were not this way, this would not allow their thoughts to cause those magicians who were doubters to believe, because these prejudiced magicians hypothesize new tricks of a complexity which exceed the ability of these special magicians to see through. It is because of this that even though we discovered that it was very useful to receive advice from these magicians, it seens impossible to make significant progress on the resolution of this special question by having magicians present. We already learned in this sort of consultation to carefully examine the identified materials, carefully study the process from the time it reaches the hands of the person being tested until the material begins to bend. We are familiar with the effect of slight movements of a persons hair, we are aware of the corrosive effects on metals of mercury salts in alcohol and we know that metal softens by being bent back and forth. We know that there are some real difficulties existing in answering the criticisn of looking for the possibilities of trickery. We also know that certain fairly strong doubts are appropriate on this point as they are about some articles. If the scientific world does not first react in this manner, then it would be inappropriate. However, we believe our research can adapt to this. However, impossible. This is because conditions must be controlled so the In some experiments, the very crucial. possibility of trickery is very slight. This point is Metal bending experiments are especially snited to this type of research. Although as of now we have only been successful in using materials wrapped up in a plastic bag, but this type of material can play an important role. 39 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300010002-2

Furthermore, it will not be possible to 4llustrate or explain the new advances using current laws of physics. Actually, we feel that we have already made a fair amount of progress while adhering. to continued and further research in this area. We hope that even more experiments will be conducted and that when there are successes they will be reported. Tt is not easy to tell exactly where the line is where scientists must stop and become magficians.....- Every scientist must ask himself if he is willing to find out the truth about paranormal ability phenomena (bending spoons, mental telepathy and seeing through solid objects). The question is how to do this seientifically. There are a number of people who claim that the unique elusive character of paranornal ability events are 4a barrier to the conduct of this sort of investigative research. There also a number of people like us who feel that these strange phenomena are related to their world view, and therefore are worthy of careful study. When our curiosity about these type of thing is satisfied, must we take off our scientist lab coats? When beginning to answer this question, we can say that if the answer is affirmative, then the elusive phenomena cannot be an appropriate scientific subject. From this view point, if we take the quark as an example, it will exceed the scope of science. In order to avoid such It is we must look at a murky continuous interval existence. absurdities, here the line is where scientists must stop and not easy to tell exactly W become magicians. any phenomenon are all studied by science. llows researchers to observe the event at allows for the extremely sympathetic properties of scientific research and most important, it permits even more thorough research on subjects concerned. It is only at this time that it will be possibie to begin to view this event with popular views. In this manner, the effective and modelling processes may be conducted one after the other or almost at the same time. However, the properties of This is the repeatability that a individual different times. This not only On this point, the repeatability of paranormal ability phenomena must be clarified, because they seem to signify different things to different people. They are used in the following concepts. Imagine an event like a snall child bending a spoon, which has already occurred a number of times under certain conditions. Each time the child is tested, the bending phenomenon may not occur. Perhaps some major factor under conditions of which no one is aware have changed from one test to the next. If the spoon bending phenomenon (or any other conditions) occur in @ gpall amount of the tests and the large number of tests have convinced people that the paranormal ability phenomenon will continue to occur at the same rate, then the paranornal ability even can be viewed as repeatable.
