(5) Negative, R.W. had no preknowledge of experimental attempt as no such attempt had been made previously, nor was experimenter in habit of pinching R.W. Had not done so previously. (6) Negative, no possible way that R.W. could have known where pinch marks should have occurred to conform with area reported. There are additional evidential reports, some of which have been included in other portions of this writing where they may help illustrate certain areas of "theory and practice.'* One or two have been attempted under laboratory conditions. The incidents may have been simple and unimportant in themselves, but as minute pieces in a mosaic, they were vital. The emerging pattern through the glimpses of the whole was made believable and acceptable to me only through the inclusion of hundreds of such scraps of evidence. Perhaps it may be to you, too. 4. THE HERE-NOW One of the most common questions that arises during any discussion of the Second Body and the Second State is: Where do you go? In evaluation of all experiments, there evolved what seemed to be three Second State environments. The first of these was identified as Locale one , for lack of a better nomenclature. More appropriately, it could be called the "Here-Now." Locale one is the most believable. It consists of people and places that actually do exist in the material, well-known world at the very moment of the experiment. It is the world represented to us by our physical senses which most of us are fairly sure does exist. Visits to Locale one while in the Second Body should not contain strange beings, events, or places. Unfamiliar, perhaps, but not strange and unknown. If the latter is the case, then perception is distorted. Thus it is that the only evidential results provable by standard methods of confirmation have taken place while moving about via the Second Body in Locale one. All of the experiments in Chapter 3 were made in Locale one . Even so, these and others in the same category are pitifully few in proportion to all the recorded experiments. On the surface, it seems quite simple. Get out of the physical and into the Second, then go visit George and make contact, come back into the physical and report. Nothing to it
