In the Thick of It!

It is curious that the quote from I. J. Good is about such an intelligence. Good worked with Alan Turing during W.W.II on MK ULTRA which broke the Nazi war codes with the Enigma machine. A curious exchange happened between Good and myself. I wrote another paper for Psychoenergetic Systems. Good sent me a copy of his paper on super- intelligence. The two papers were remarkably similar. So similar that Good suspected me of plagarism - though he did not go so far as to accuse me. In fact, I had not seen Good's paper until he sent me a copy of it. I take this as evidence for a close encounter with super-intelligence lending some credibility to my 1952 phone call from the computer.

Author of Childhood's End about the kind of super-intelligence I suggest actually exists and is in contact with us.

author of the classic Darkness at Noon. Koestler graciously invited Sharon and I to his home for drinks with his wife.

[4]

John Hasted, a jolly fellow, was head of the Physics Department at Birkbeck. Birkbeck, created by J.D. Bernal, had a reputation of being very left wing and sympathetic to the Soviet Union. I never encountered this aspect directly in the physics department. Bernal wrote a very important essay, "The World, The Flesh and the Devil" in the 1930's about super-intelligence in the far future.

Magic and Paraphysics in Science, Good, Bad and Bogus (Prometheus, 1981). Gardner was an editor for Scientific American.

[6]

Andrija Puharich M.D. worked for Army Intelligence in the early fifties and wrote one of the first studies on psychedelic drugs. Puharich was Geller's case officer in America with money provided by Sir John Whitmore. Ira Einhorn worked closely with Andrija Puharich as well as with Esalen's Michael Murphy and George Leonard.

[7]

Einhorn's biography is The Unicorn's Secret by Steve Levy. Einhorn is still at large as a fugitive from justice. He may be innocent of the murder of Holly Maddux. Opening up KGB files might tell the truth.

[8]

I recall meeting Einhorn and Puharich in London when I stayed with Brendan O Regan at Joyce Petchek's palatial mansion which had its own olympic-sized swimming pool in the basement. Joyce was a Jewish American Princess who "channeled" an ancient Egyptian Princess. I may have angered her when it became obvious I was more interested in her erotic body than her auric body during her private seance with me. I felt like Groucho Marx in Animal Crackers. Joyce, Brendan and I made a pilgrimage to Paris to see Carlo Suares in the spring of 1974.

A reporter for Jack Anderson who wrote MIND WARS (St. Martin's) which credits my help. Mc Rae spent a week with me in North Beach researching his book.

I was introduced to Richard Gere outside the Caffe Trieste by my old friend Marcus Demian who helped him get started in Hollywood.

One time, at Franklin House (the equivalent of Hitler's Brown House) Werner joked with me "I am the Devil!"

[12]

Sharon was a witness to this incident.

[14]

Michael Murphy told me that he and his brother were the models for the brothers in John Steinbeck's East of Eden. Steinbeck was a close friend of Michael's grandfather who owned the coastal land that Esalen is built on. Michael gave me his apartment on 2 Whiting Street on Telegraph Hill. Michael is very charming and appears to be very naive. He was most likely a "useful idiot" of the KGB in the "psychic war raging across the continents between the Soviet Union and your country" (as Dennis Bardens described it in the Blue Boar Inn) rather than a "Puppet Master". On the other hand, Michael is well aware of the PSI WAR and describes very well in his book The End to Ordinary History. I had dinner with him recently at the Pelican Inn in Marin at a party celebrating Lawry Chickering's marriage to Serena Mondavi. Michael said he wanted me to return to Esalen but he apparently is not a man of his word.

[15]

As editor of Look in the 60's Leonard wrote the article that launched the Haight Ashbury "Flower Children" as the advance wave of a coming "Transformation" of world consciousness. Leonard also wrote the first major article on alleged psychics in the Soviet Union. George was definitely fooled by the KGB because all of the Soviet psychic claims were transparent disinformation. It is interesting that the Soviets knew what was going to be in Space-Time and Beyond before it was published. Bill Whitehead of Dutton asked me to credit some Russian with the discovery of "bio-gravitation" which, in the Soviet formulation, was a bogus idea.

Vallee gives us a very important clue about the occult-Nazi connection to UFOs and Jenny and The Nine at Esalen on pp. 192 & 193 of Messengers of Deception: "contactee George Adamski had prewar connections with American fascist leader William Dudley Pelly, who died in 1965, was the leader of the Silver Shirts ... Dr. Laughhead, who ... launched Dr. Andrija Puharich on the tracks of the mythic SPECTRA, is also thought to have associated with this group." SPECTRA reappears as Jenny O Conner and THE NINE brought to Esalen by Werner Erhard and Puharich's patron Sir John Whitmore.

[18]

a) " Rose ... advocates launching a 'Manhattan Project type' effort to develop the [psychic] weapons. 'The Soviets are up to their ass in this stuff,' he told Mc Rae, 'and we shouldn't fall behind.'"

b) "The witnesses Rose would call include CIA officials who, Rose said, 'know this remote-viewing stuff works but who have been blocked by publicity-shy superiors.'"

[19]

I met Hazel Henderson again when we were both speakers at the San Francisco Art Institute along with Angela Davis.

[20]

Sirag spent the first five years of his life in a Japanese prison camp on Borneo where his parents were Missionaries. He played Mr. Spock to my Captain Kirk in the Physics Consciousness Research Group until George Koopman torpedoed it. Sirag then lived with Barbara Honegger in a flat provided by Henry Dakin.

[21]

Honegger worked with Jim Hickman, Michael Murphy and Brendan O Regan. Barbara told me of a strange encounter with Brendan O Regan in which trance medium Ingo Swann spoke with a cold metallic voice and said that it was a computer from a hundred years into the future. She actually was doing some interesting work in synchronicity. Barbara sued Stanford Professor Karl Pribram in an assault case and won. She went to work for Martin Anderson at the Hoover Institute and followed Anderson to Reagan's white House in 1981. I warned Lawry Chickering that Barbara was a loose cannon. Sure enough she quit the White House saying that the Reaganites were unfair to women. She has accused the Reagan team of the "October Surprise". Barbara says that Bill Casey arranged that the American hostages in Iran not be released until Reagan was elected. Stephen Schwartz says Barbara is lying. Knowing Barbara I do not think she is consciously lying, but, perhaps has been misled. She is quite idealistic but naive.

[22]

In fact Phil Kaufmann's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers set in San Francisco imitates the behavior of the hard core estoids. I would not be surprised if some of them were androids off a flying saucer. :-)

[23]

I also met Bulgarians doing "psychic research"visiting Henry Dakin's laboratory where Michael Murphy and Jim Hickman were doing their psychic-Soviet project. An army friend, in a position to know, told me that all the Bulgarians in America at that time were KGB agents. Stephen Schwartz of the neo-conservative Institute for Contemporary Studies who is an expert on Soviet Communism confirmed my friend's statement. Werner and Michael Murphy have spent lots of time in the Soviet Union before and after it fell. In fact, Werner has appeared to run back to Moscow now that the IRS indicted him for multi-million dollar tax fraud. Will Werner become a political power in the New Russia?

[24]

Wheeler worked with Einstein and Bohr and was Richard Feynman's thesis advisor at Princeton. Wheeler is the Merlin of Physics and a lot of my ideas were inspired by his visionary writings. I suspect Wheeler is channeling messages from the future telepathically as are some other physicists like his former student Kip Thorne and also David Deutsch. Of course Wheeler and the others may have no idea that they may be caught in the Destiny Matrix!

[25]

Fuller arranged a series of expensive junkets for famous physicists as part of Werner's plan to gain respectability in his megalomaniacal drive for influence and world power. Rev. Moon does exactly the same thing. San Francisco Chronicle science reporter Charles Petit wrote on Wed. Jan 28, 1981 (p.32):

"An unusual closed-door meeting of more than a dozen of the world's foremost physicists , including at least three Nobel Prize winners, has been held under the sponsorship of est-founder Werner Erhard in San Francisco..."

"The meeting chairman was theoretical physicist Leonard Susskind of Stanford University ...An est spokesman, Doug Bell, said Susskind wanted word passed that 'it's not like there is anything to hide here. Its just a few fellows having a meeting. But where its at for them is that it doesn't want or merit the kind of attention that you are going to give it.'"

[26]

Heidegger's passive collaboration with Hitler is well known.

[27]

Corey used to hang out at Enrico's Cafe where I spent a lot of time with Marshall Naify, Chairman of the Board of United Artist Theaters. Werner started est in offices above Enrico's.

[28]

he is now President of Cal Tech

[29]

Garvey, who lives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, near the Army War College, has collected all kinds of data on Werner and other cult figures. Garvey came to see me in North Beach years ago. He was concerned about New Age penetration of the US Army.

[30]

Carter met Uri Geller on a State Visit to the President of Mexico. Geller fooled Carter like he fooled me, Bohm and Hasted. An intelligence friend of mine told me that Geller was having an affair with the wife of the President of Mexico at the time. I had been contacted by an American intelligence agent for an evaluation of Geller before Carter made the trip as part of the security for the trip.

[31]

Former Naval Intelligence Officer and Jack Anderson reporter Ron Mc Rae told me that the Navy had been fooled by phony data on remote-viewing of Soviet submarines because someone had leaked the actual data to the phony psychics. Mc Rae seems to have omitted this story from his book MIND WARS. Barbara Honegger said that policy decisions on the basing of MX missiles were made by the Reagan staff under the belief that remote-viewing worked. Harold Chipman believed that it worked and told me that he had used it successfully in his business. Indeed, he introduced me to a glamorous private detective, V, as one of his best performers in remote-viewing operations. V and I became lovers. She confirmed that she had participated in experiments with Chipman. V was like the Princess in Cocteau's Orfee "une espionne chargee de surveiller un homme et qui le suave en se perdant" in Cocteau's words.

[32]

Robert Anton Wilson, who was part of our Esalen Seminars, quotes Sirag extensively in his books.

[33]

Shirley MacLaine quotes me in her book Dancing in the Light. She got the title from Gary Zukav's Dancing Wu Li Masters. I always had a crush on Shirley. Shirley if you read this get in touch! I want Mel Brooks to do the screen play of my story with Gene Wilder playing me. :-)

famous yippy in Chicago 1968. Rubin, recently killed by a car, became a loyal estoid on Wall Street. I worked with his girl friend Estelle Resnick in forming the Peace and Freedom Party in San Diego in the late sixties.

[39]

I was in the position of the actor in the German film Mephisto. You will see later how this ties in with Rashi Zarfati's relation to Godfroi de Bouillon, Margherita Sarfatti's relation to Mussolini and Putzi Sedgwick-Hanfstaengl's relation to Hitler.

[40]

author of Messengers of Deception about UFOs and The Network Revolution. It describes est influence in Silicon Valley computer firms.

[41]

I met a friend of Trauffaut's at Esalen, a young French playwright named Jean Reisser Nadal. He was investigating the New Age movement for French National Radio. He stayed with me in San Francisco and told me he had discovered some disturbing political connections including a plan to assassinate Nelson Rockefeller. I took him to the airport. A few months later I received an invitation to his funeral at Pere La Chaise cemetery. I had Michel Roure speak to Jean's girl friend. She said that Jean kept saying "contact Jack Sarfatti" before he died. His death was do to a sudden onset of bone cancer. This is the way Harold Chipman also died. I am told that radioactive poisoning has been used for murder by intelligence organizations. Trauffaut is also dead. Nadal told me that he and Trauffaut were planning to write a screenplay or documentary based upon his research. I alerted a friend in American intelligence about the threat to Rockefeller and Nadal's death. Rockefeller did die soon after under odd circumstances.

[42]

I was told that John Updike used me as the model for Daryl Van Horne in Witches of Eastwick. Nicholson played this role in the movie. I had been dating Suky Sedgwick and Updike uses the name Suky in the book. Eastwick sounds like Sedgwick. Updike knows the story of the Sedgwicks and apparently knows about my work in the new physics since he alludes to it in both Eastwick and his book Roger's Version. If, on the other hand, Updike did not know about me and Suky then we have a remarkable meaningful coincidence suggesting a sense of humor in what John Lilly calls "Cosmic Coincidence Control".

[43]

Hans Syberberg has made two films, Our Hitler and Parsifal. Francis Coppola distributed Our Hitler in America. I watched this six hour film with Syberberg in Francis's private theater. Although I did not realize its significance then, Our Hitler has Putzi Sedgwick-Hanfstaengl as a central image. I met Putzi's grandson at around the same time.

[44]

Stephen Schwartz was a red diaper baby turned neoconservative. Edie Sedgwick's niece, Leila Minturn Dwight, introduced Stephen to A. Lawrence Chickering at the Caffe Trieste. Chickering's grandfather had worked with Leila's great grandfather, Henry De Forest, who had run the Southern Pacific Railroad at the turn of the century. Schwartz became a force at Chickering's Institute for Contemporary Studies. His most recent book is A Strange Silence about the rise of democracy in Nicaragua. Both Schwartz and Chickering write for the San Francisco Chronicle.

[45]

Hinckle took me drinking several times at a policeman's bar on Kearny Street in the Barbary Coast near Coppola's building. Coppola's office is designed to look like Captain Nemo's submarine in Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. In some ways Francis is a genius kid who never grew up. He likes to collect all kinds of toys. He has the power to make his fantasies real.

"George A. Koopman Dies in Car; Technologist for Space Was 44 ... an entrepreneur in space technology who founded the American Rocket Company lived in Malibu. ... Mr. Koopman's career included being an intelligence analyst in the Vietnam War, a maker of military training films for the Government and the coordinator of spectacular stunts in the 1980 movie The Blues Brothers.... the activity that gained Mr. Koopman the most attention was stunt coordinator for The Blues Brothers, which starred John Belushi and Dan Akroyd ..."

a)"Interest in the military potential of ESP... has grown in recent years. Some of it stems from the search for reliable and jamming-free modes of communication. A popular wave of interest in ESP stemmed from a boom in the occult and supernatural phenomena in the late 1960's and early 1970's, a time when ESP research in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union also attracted popular attention. Some scientists in the West have feared that the mounting fascination with ESP, in league with the resurgence in the occult and mysticism, threatens science itself ... The Russians have long recognized that if ESP were an actual effect and could be harnessed, it would have great strategic potential. In 1973, stories appeared describing CIA-sponsored probing of Soviet and Chinese secret installations by individuals with high psi ability. By the mid-1970s, Stanford Research Institute appeared to be carrying the ball. Evidence of interest and research, however, does not necessarily mean serious acceptance or commitment to programs ... nations involved in disarmament talks may interject 'jokers' or 'riders' into otherwise serious and rational proposals to make sure that their opponents will not accept them. Those thus maneuvered into the role of rejectors may seem in the eyes of technically unaware publics to be foes of peace. A corollary to this is the strategy of mounting shadow programs to draw an adversary's attention - and resources - into a dead end, the essence of Soviet efforts in the field of 'disinformation'. It is not clear at this point if both sides are really just playing with each other, or if there is something really developing in the realm of ESP..."

b) "It is generally believed that the Soviets and their allies are well in the lead in parapsychological research ... Telepathic behavior modification, which includes the ability to induce hypnotic states up to distances in excess of 1,000 kilometers, has been reported. ... The ability to mentally move objects has also been repeatedly demonstrated under scientifically controlled conditions. ... test subjects, targeted against strategic sites in both the USSR and the People's Republic of China, were able to penetrate secured areas to retrieve desired data via out-of-body travel ..."

c) "... the Navy has 34 psychics under contract to track Soviet submarines..."

d) Ch 2 of Howard Blum's OUT THERE describes a Project Scanate session of remote-viewing of Soviet submarines and Mikhail Gorbachev's country dacha as late as 1985 in the office of George Keyworth, President Reagan's Science Advisor. "...this new channel is employed by focusing on specific latitudinal and longitudinal information ... the demonstration centered on the possible use of psychic powers in antisubmarine warfare."

Lilly has written an important book called The Scientist in which he describes his contacts with super-intelligences from the future while under the influence of ketamine. The kind of world Lilly describes is the world that I am arguing for in this book. Lilly was a close friend of the great physicist the late Richard Feynman. Lilly was at Esalen when high ranking Soviet officials were there. To what extent have the events leading to the fall of the Soviet state been caused by the Esalen drug experiences of Soviet leaders? Both Yeltsin and Gorbachev are closely tied to Esalen as is Werner Erhard. Even Lawry Chickering of ICS has mentioned the importance of Esalen in the neoconservative movement. This is the same Esalen that gave seminars by an alleged discarnate group of extra-terrestrials called "The Nine". Andrija Puharich writes about "The Nine" in URI. My ex-book agent Ira Einhorn spent six weeks at Esalen after he was indicted for the murder of Holly Maddux. Congressman Charlie Rose who believed the KGB disinformation on PSI WARS has also given seminars at Esalen - strange goings on for sure. Esalen's Jim Garrison? was also a co-founder of the Christic Institute. How did Dr. John Mack of Harvard Medical School get involved in this? Mack was tech advisor for CBS mini series on UFO abductions. Mack is a founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility and has a Pulitzer for a book on Lawrence of Arabia. Mack told me that he heard that Gorbachev has had a UFO contact experience.

Naranjo, Fred Wolf and I were in Brasil together in 1985 as keynote speakers at the First International Congress on the Mind/Matter Interaction paid for by IBM Brasil. I met many wealthy and powerful people in Brasil including Army Generals. They all think Uri Geller has real paranormal powers and none of them doubted the reality of UFOs. A retired general showed me elaborately twisted pieces of metal that he claimed he saw bent psychokinetically by local versions of Uri Geller. He also claimed to have seen UFO landings in the Amazon jungle.

The third alternative is that I am nuts and my physics is right. When I look at photos of myself back in the 70's and 80's, even I say: "That guy must be nuts!"

[58]

still another strange encounter in the mid-80's was with M B who claimed that she was in the international arms business with her "well-connected" dad from Texarcana.

[59]

it is odd that Esalen sponsored Yeltsin's visit and also runs the Gorbachev Foundation since Yeltsin and Gorbachev are not on the best of terms.

excerpts from "The Nine, channelled by Jenny O'Conner" at Henry Dakin's laboratory 3118 Washington St. San Francisco on Monday July 30, 1979. Jim Hickman, Saul Paul Sirag, Roger Macdonald, Steve Donovan, Trever Alston, Russell Rae and others participating:

Saul-Paul asks Jenny "Have you ever interacted with Jacques Vallee?" Jenny says, "We were supposed to. We met Hal Puthoff..I met your friend." Dakin's transcript reads "discussion of Jack Sarfatti, and Jenny's meeting with him" The Nine then intervene speaking through Jenny "Main facilities Houston, Texas." [transcript incomplete here] Someone asks, "Any other facilities?". The Nine respond: "A total of 85." Roger Macdonald asks, "Any other extremely large, not as large as the facilities in Houston?" Michael Murphy's partner, Jim Hickman says: "There is NASA, but NASA isn't supposed to be with the military." The Nine says, "Wilmington ... Byrom, Little Hampshire, [ piece of transcript missing] The Mars Project, 1944, 1945, 1948." Roger Macdonald asks "What Agency or department of the United States is the Mars Project?" The Nine, "NSS" Saul-Paul says "It could be some Navy thing." The Nine, "You called it National Security Service. They called it just the SS." Saul Paul says, "Secret Service?" Jim Hickman says, "I can believe that." Hickman asks, "You talked about Project Henry ..." The Nine, "All CIA involved." Hickman, "All?", The Nine, "Yes". later on in transcript Hickman says "... Solvitschg'otsk, which is north east of Moscow, where a great deal of secret military research is being done. The Nine, "This facility is highly armed and Soviet's most important work goes on there. Room B12." Jenny, like Barbarella, takes over her own mind and says, "Can I ask you about .... and hooking up with the brainwave machine?"

Oddly enough, a novel called Speed of Light was published in Berkeley in the late 70's by a woman. The plot was similar to the Brewer story and it involved a character resemblingWerner Erhard.

Chipman started funding my work in 1985. He said he had secretly funded part of the SRI work in remote viewing. He also introduced me to V. He was involved with a Texas Company TLC and a man named Joe Peeple's who was indicted for selling arms to Iran in the mid-80's.
