(3) Negative, idea of empty chair came to group only during that same evening. (4) Negative, had never met women before nor observed their dress. (5) Negative, for same reasons just given. Would have no knowledge of unknown woman's work at Cancer Memorial Hospital. (6) Negative, as action was unplanned. (7) Negative, as reaction of others was spontaneous. 8/15/63 Afternoon A productive experiment after a long layoff! R.W., a businesswoman whom I know quite well through long work association, and a close friend aware of my "activities'' (but somewhat skeptical still, in spite of rather unwilling participation), has been away this week on her vacation up on the New Jersey coast. I do not know exactly where she is vacationing other than that. Nor did I inform her of any planned experiment, simply because I had not thought of it until today (Saturday). This afternoon, I lay down to renew experimentation, and decided I would make a strong effort to "visit" R.W. wherever she was. (Rule one in my case always has been that I am most successful going to someone I know •well—and the opportunity does not come up too often.) I lay down in the bedroom about three in the afternoon, went into a relaxation pattern, felt the warmth (high order vibrations), then thought heavily of the desire to "go" to R.W. There was the familiar sensation of movement through a light blue blurred area, then I was in what seemed to be a. kitchen. R.W. was seated in a chair to the right. She had a glass in her hand. She was looking to my left, where two girls (about seventeen or eighteen, one blond and one brunette) also were sitting, each with glasses in their hands, drinking something. The three of them were in conversation, but I could not hear what they were saying. I first approached the two girls, directly in front of them, but I could not attract their attention. I then turned to R.W., and I asked if she knew I was there. "Oh yes, I know you are here" she replied (mentally, or with that superconscious communication, as she was still in oral conversation with the two girls).
