enough. Also, it can be noted that unexpected visits to unprepared persons
can't be helped at this stage of control. Perhaps much could be gained if
such people could be interviewed as to what they saw and felt at the time of
the intrusion. The difficulty lies in locating these people. It is the exception
that enough data is obtained to identify the place visited, as in the above.
Also, it is interesting when possible to determine the inconsistencies of
observation of Locale one activities while in the Second State. Except in unusual
instances, most "visual" input registers in shadings of black and white.'This
seems true under any lighting conditions. However, strong light and shadow
create wrong perceptions. For example, a strong light reflecting from the dark
hair of a man brings the impression that he is blond rather than dark. For
example, from the notes:
5/5/61
Temp. 6os, humidity high, barometer medium, physically neutral. After
dinner, early evening, in planned attempt to visit Doctor Puharich used breathing
jaw technique for relaxation, obtained vibration state after some difficulty via
90° reach-out technique. Applied simple mental lift-out, and concentrated
mental desire to visit Doctor Puharich, After short trip, stopped in room. There
was a long narrow table, with several chairs, and bookshelves. There was a
man sitting at the table, writing on paper. He resembled Doctor Puharich, but he
was more light or blond-haired. I greeted him, and he looked up and smiled,
then stated that he would spend more time on our project, apologizing for
being so neglectful. I said I understood, then felt uneasiness to return to the
physical, and explained I had to leave. He stated that he realized my need for
caution, and I turned and quickly headed back to the physical. Re-entered
without difficulty, with right arm circulation down from lying on it awkwardly,
which was evident reason for recall. Comment: In checking with Doctor Puharich,
the locale was right, and actions were correct, but he has no memory of visit.
Strong overhead light may have caused the reflection of "blond."
The preceding also illustrates the problem of communication. Doctor Puharich,
awake and aware that specific attempts to "visit" him were being made, had
no conscious recollection of any such meeting. All other factors checked
accurately, except for the reported "conversation." This has happened so
frequently in such instances that it became the source of much discussion. At
first, it was suggested that I was fantasizing these communications. It
seemed probable that in so doing, I was merely calling upon my knowledge
of the visitee
