00:00:00,-20 --> 00:00:08,456
STEREO
2
00:01:34,704 --> 00:01:39,840
Now that we have some insight,
into the concept of experiential space
3
00:01:39,940 --> 00:01:44,158
we may consider interaction among
the experiential space continua
4
00:01:44,258 --> 00:01:47,367
of a highly unique group of individuals.
5
00:01:48,415 --> 00:01:52,854
In general, a study of the varying
dimensions of human experience
6
00:01:52,954 --> 00:01:55,979
in the context of man in his society
7
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:59,459
is known as human social cybernetics.
8
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,351
In our experiment,
eight Category-A subjects
9
00:02:04,451 --> 00:02:06,949
underwent pattern brain surgery
10
00:02:07,049 --> 00:02:12,287
whose program was developed within the
academy's organic computer dialectic system.
11
00:02:13,713 --> 00:02:17,642
The object of surgery was
to extend by a process called
12
00:02:17,742 --> 00:02:19,688
biochemical induction.
13
00:02:19,789 --> 00:02:23,896
The natural, electro-chemical
network of the human brain.
14
00:02:24,931 --> 00:02:30,065
This extension would provide each
subject with telepathic capabilites.
15
00:02:31,304 --> 00:02:35,099
A telepathist is one who can
communicate with other minds
16
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:38,985
by means which do not involve
perception by the senses.
17
00:02:39,913 --> 00:02:44,121
Thus, telepathy is a form
of extra-sensory perception
18
00:02:44,221 --> 00:02:45,921
or ESP.
19
00:02:46,571 --> 00:02:52,011
Our subjects were to be kept in isolation
at the institute for three months.
20
00:02:52,111 --> 00:02:55,932
Where they were to prepare for
their first meeting as a group.
21
00:02:56,032 --> 00:03:01,623
This meeting was to take place at the academy
sanitorium in the Ontario north woods.
22
00:04:51,363 --> 00:04:53,440
Telepathic dependency
23
00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:57,127
is an extreme form of psychic addiction.
24
00:04:58,267 --> 00:05:02,095
It is essentially an
electro-chemical addiction.
25
00:05:02,195 --> 00:05:07,342
The dependent, surrending the
autonomy of his own nervous system
26
00:05:07,442 --> 00:05:10,868
to that of the onject of his dependency.
27
00:05:10,968 --> 00:05:15,510
And altering his patterns of
electro-chemical discharge
28
00:05:15,610 --> 00:05:17,945
to mimic those of his object.
29
00:05:20,568 --> 00:05:26,602
When the object of dependency is telepathically
unavailable for long periods of time
30
00:05:27,523 --> 00:05:29,926
the new nervous patterns
31
00:05:30,026 --> 00:05:33,458
find themselves suddenly
without a constant source
32
00:05:33,558 --> 00:05:36,617
of electro-morphological reinforcement...
33
00:05:37,766 --> 00:05:41,466
and, severe psychic disorientation
34
00:05:42,004 --> 00:05:45,113
begins to manifest itself in the dependent.
35
00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:50,442
At its most intense level
36
00:05:51,804 --> 00:05:55,085
a frustrated dependency can result in the
37
00:05:55,185 --> 00:05:59,373
irreversible destruction
of critical brain tissue.
38
00:06:01,737 --> 00:06:05,941
In as much as the establishment of
a partial telepathic dependency
39
00:06:06,041 --> 00:06:08,841
of the subject upon his researcher
40
00:06:09,446 --> 00:06:11,778
is an unavoidable part
41
00:06:12,271 --> 00:06:16,710
of the parapsychological
experimental gestalt.
42
00:06:18,033 --> 00:06:22,960
The means to maintain this
dependency at a controllable level
43
00:06:23,060 --> 00:06:26,715
must be considered an organic element
44
00:06:27,019 --> 00:06:29,719
forming that experimental gestalt.
45
00:06:34,212 --> 00:06:39,459
During the institute phase of
the induced telepathy series...
46
00:06:40,876 --> 00:06:41,929
our subject
47
00:06:42,030 --> 00:06:47,306
possessed of a statistically excessive,
dependency susceptability quotient,
48
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,594
wounded himself in the
forehead, with a hand drill.
49
00:06:54,237 --> 00:06:58,289
The wound, a hole about
one-half an inch in diameter,
50
00:06:58,390 --> 00:07:01,589
completely penetrated the subject's skull
51
00:07:02,373 --> 00:07:07,058
and seemed to afford him the relief
of imagined cranial pressures.
52
00:07:07,158 --> 00:07:08,942
Temporary euphoria,
53
00:07:09,042 --> 00:07:13,280
and electro-chemical dissociation, which he sought.
54
00:08:31,139 --> 00:08:33,648
It will perhaps clarify these matters
55
00:08:33,748 --> 00:08:38,974
if we consider the specific configuration
of the Category-A subject.
56
00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:43,254
Category-A is a classification
57
00:08:43,354 --> 00:08:46,786
which finds its meaning within
the scientific metaphysics
58
00:08:46,886 --> 00:08:51,473
of the aphrodisiast and theorist
Luther Stringfellow.
59
00:08:52,714 --> 00:08:56,477
It is not what is usually considered
an objective classification.
60
00:08:56,577 --> 00:09:01,804
Based for example, upon physical
or psychological characteristics.
61
00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:07,414
Category-A, is rather a certain
field reaction of the researcher
62
00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:13,455
to an intensive period of personal interaction
with each of his potential subjects.
63
00:09:15,183 --> 00:09:20,667
There is also, therefore, the element
of an aesthetics of human form.
64
00:09:20,767 --> 00:09:24,468
in the Category-A system
of subject classification.
65
00:09:25,491 --> 00:09:31,751
Dr. Stringfellow made his name, as an
exponent of the existential organic approach
66
00:09:31,851 --> 00:09:36,996
to the sciences, long before his work
in the socio-chemistry of the erotic
67
00:09:37,096 --> 00:09:40,397
achieved its present
international eminence.
68
00:09:41,226 --> 00:09:43,339
A Category-A classification
69
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,219
is the existential organic
methodology put into practice.
70
00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:52,188
Dr. Stringfellow
has repeatedly stressed
71
00:09:52,288 --> 00:09:55,750
the vital necessity for
the use of this approach.
72
00:09:55,850 --> 00:09:58,583
Particularly,
in the new social sciences.
73
00:09:58,683 --> 00:10:00,642
where variables are infinite
74
00:10:00,742 --> 00:10:04,885
and complexity is of the
highest possible order.
75
00:10:06,217 --> 00:10:08,190
The nature of erotic research
76
00:10:08,290 --> 00:10:12,098
requires that the sexual emotional
involvement of the researcher
77
00:10:12,198 --> 00:10:17,147
with each subject be taken
to its farthest possible extreme.
78
00:10:17,662 --> 00:10:20,411
It is only in this way that the researcher
79
00:10:20,511 --> 00:10:27,039
in whose consciousness, a total mosaic
of his particular research project exists
80
00:10:27,359 --> 00:10:33,480
can divine in each of his subjects
a color, a texture, and a shape.
81
00:10:34,551 --> 00:10:40,223
And so assign to that subject,
his proper place in the research mosaic.
82
00:11:58,192 --> 00:12:02,914
It was hoped that many important questions
would be clarified, if not answered,
83
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:06,946
during the course of our experiment
with induced telepathy.
84
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:12,171
Two of the eight subjects consented to
having portions of their larynx removed.
85
00:12:12,452 --> 00:12:15,536
Making it physically
impossible for them to speak.
86
00:12:15,637 --> 00:12:16,656
In addition
87
00:12:16,756 --> 00:12:22,266
large portions of the speech centers of the
brains of these subjects were obliterated
88
00:12:22,366 --> 00:12:27,225
so that the psychological faculty of
speech itself would be impaired
89
00:12:28,343 --> 00:12:30,428
Would the maturing and strengthening
90
00:12:30,528 --> 00:12:33,623
of the telepathic capicity in
these speechless subjects
91
00:12:33,723 --> 00:12:38,758
surpass that of the subjects who
still retained the ability to speak?
92
00:12:40,132 --> 00:12:41,557
It was anticipated
93
00:12:41,657 --> 00:12:47,411
that the telepathic experience would be much
more than simply reading another's mind.
94
00:12:47,511 --> 00:12:51,214
One telepathist would perhaps
be able to apprehend
95
00:12:51,315 --> 00:12:55,270
not only verbal patterns,
as they arose in the mind of another,
96
00:12:55,370 --> 00:12:58,316
but would also encounter simultaneously
97
00:12:58,416 --> 00:13:02,660
the germinative layers of memory,
learning, emotional response,
98
00:13:02,761 --> 00:13:08,364
and psycho-physiological impulse, which
actually generate thought and language.
99
00:13:09,563 --> 00:13:12,930
How dependent upon language is thought?
100
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:18,333
Is abstract logical thought even
possible without language?
101
00:14:34,828 --> 00:14:38,506
The essence of the telepathic bond
102
00:14:39,438 --> 00:14:40,561
is the dominance
103
00:14:40,662 --> 00:14:45,170
of one of the particles forming
the telepathic conglomerate.
104
00:14:45,941 --> 00:14:50,637
Whether the conglomerate consists
of two telepathists or of a large
105
00:14:50,737 --> 00:14:52,972
socially cohesive group
106
00:14:53,384 --> 00:14:57,347
the principle of psychic
dominance remains constant.
107
00:14:57,639 --> 00:15:00,893
The dominant personality
is responsible for the
108
00:15:00,993 --> 00:15:04,413
suppression of the heterogeneous
elements which the
109
00:15:04,513 --> 00:15:06,737
conglomerate comprises.
110
00:15:07,311 --> 00:15:09,877
The homogeneous elements which remain
111
00:15:09,978 --> 00:15:13,164
are then driven together
to form the conglomerate
112
00:15:13,264 --> 00:15:18,408
by the laws of telepathic bonding
implicit in the Stringfellow Hypothesis.
113
00:15:19,417 --> 00:15:24,098
The principle of dominance thus
provides the agglutinizing impetus
114
00:15:24,199 --> 00:15:27,943
which induces the initial
conglomerative motion.
115
00:15:28,697 --> 00:15:32,347
As Stringfellow notes in defining
the nature of dominance
116
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,310
the will of the newly formed
conglomerate must necessarily
117
00:15:37,604 --> 00:15:41,398
be a function of the will of
the dominant personality.
118
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:47,250
Only after an indefinite period of
symbiotic telepathic cohesion
119
00:15:47,545 --> 00:15:53,361
can the dominant personality abnegate
its agglutinative role and encourage
120
00:15:53,461 --> 00:15:58,314
the emergence of a truly synthetic
conglomerate personality.
121
00:15:59,232 --> 00:16:02,388
Stringfellow's behavior
as parapsychologists
122
00:16:02,488 --> 00:16:07,192
suggests that perhaps that his foremost
post-operative research objective
123
00:16:07,292 --> 00:16:10,799
was to intuit which among his Category-A subjects
124
00:16:10,899 --> 00:16:15,760
was the one most capable of assuming
the role of psychic dominant.
125
00:16:16,051 --> 00:16:19,722
This subject was then provided
indirectly with certain
126
00:16:19,822 --> 00:16:22,582
historical and interpretive data
127
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:24,971
concerning his fellow subjects.
128
00:16:25,265 --> 00:16:30,506
This data would naturally assure the immediate
social dominance of the chosen subject
129
00:16:30,606 --> 00:16:35,908
within the context of the experimental,
socially isolate gestalt
130
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,556
The function of the dominant would be
then to select from his fellow subjects
131
00:16:42,656 --> 00:16:45,800
the one psychically most vulnerable.
132
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:50,092
And by the application of subtle, social intimidations
133
00:16:50,192 --> 00:16:54,137
followed by a careful series
of potent symbolic gestures
134
00:16:54,238 --> 00:17:00,018
draw the subject into the field of his
psycho-telepathic dominance.
135
00:17:00,337 --> 00:17:04,731
Once a true conglomerate
exhibiting complete telepathic
136
00:17:04,831 --> 00:17:08,593
bonding has been established
between this primary couple
137
00:17:08,871 --> 00:17:13,997
the progression towards a larger and
more complex conglomerate may begin.
138
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:04,500
In psychic research
139
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,907
the emotional distance between
the researcher and his subject
140
00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:14,378
is inevitably diminished until it is no more
than the distance between any two persons.
141
00:20:15,167 --> 00:20:19,120
The acquiescence of the subject
of the demands of the researcher
142
00:20:19,220 --> 00:20:24,880
comes nothing more nor less,
than an individual act of faith of love.
143
00:20:26,405 --> 00:20:30,047
If there can be no love between
researcher and subject
144
00:20:30,297 --> 00:20:33,258
there can be no experimentation.
145
00:20:33,537 --> 00:20:36,526
In conventional theories
of scientific methodology
146
00:20:36,626 --> 00:20:38,620
an experiment proves its validity
147
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,590
when it can be universally
repeated in every aspect.
148
00:20:43,397 --> 00:20:48,115
In psychic research, such an
approach is completely untenable.
149
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,362
The existential circumstances of
any experiment in parapsychology
150
00:20:53,462 --> 00:20:56,409
are inextricably mixed with the individuals
151
00:20:56,510 --> 00:21:01,367
and the phenomological sets involved
in that particular experiment
152
00:21:01,636 --> 00:21:04,818
and cannot be abstracted
from those individuals
153
00:21:04,918 --> 00:21:07,183
or phenomological sets.
154
00:21:08,061 --> 00:21:12,827
The conditions of experiments
in parapsychology are unique,
155
00:21:13,087 --> 00:21:16,831
non-uniform and non-repeatable.
156
00:21:16,931 --> 00:21:22,159
A completely non-scientific burden
is therefore place upon the researcher
157
00:21:22,259 --> 00:21:27,485
for if the peronal relationship between
researcher and subject deteriorates
158
00:21:27,585 --> 00:21:31,984
the experiment cannot continue
along its natural course.
159
00:21:32,379 --> 00:21:36,091
The sensitivity of the experimental
parapsychological plexus
160
00:21:36,191 --> 00:21:37,777
demands new methods
161
00:21:37,878 --> 00:21:42,308
to help maintain the emotional
momentum in certain experiments.
162
00:21:42,619 --> 00:21:43,871
Proving notice
163
00:21:44,161 --> 00:21:47,666
that the motto of the Canadian
Academy for Erotic Inquiry
164
00:21:47,766 --> 00:21:52,553
has immediate relevance for the Stringfellow induced telepathy series.
165
00:21:52,653 --> 00:21:57,599
"Amor vincit omnia."
Or: "Love conquers all."
166
00:23:20,994 --> 00:23:25,299
We understand that the unique way
in which an individual perceives
167
00:23:25,399 --> 00:23:27,190
and reacts to his environment
168
00:23:27,290 --> 00:23:31,801
is a funstion of his own
experiential space continuum.
169
00:23:31,901 --> 00:23:37,038
When object events enter the experiential
space continuum of that individual
170
00:23:37,138 --> 00:23:41,261
they become an integral
organic part of that space.
171
00:23:41,591 --> 00:23:45,058
They are actually changed,
qualitatively modified
172
00:23:45,158 --> 00:23:48,587
in accordance with the
creative nature of that space.
173
00:23:48,688 --> 00:23:51,794
But we are now dealing with telepathists.
174
00:23:51,894 --> 00:23:53,187
In theory
175
00:23:53,533 --> 00:23:59,026
the experiential space continua of
two or more telepathists can merge,
176
00:23:59,277 --> 00:24:04,765
can blend together to an extent far beyond
the range of normal human experience.
177
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:10,755
What would be the organic nature
of communal experiential space
178
00:24:10,855 --> 00:24:14,456
shared among eight psychosomatic entities?
179
00:24:14,556 --> 00:24:18,542
Would one person, one mode
of perception and reaction,
180
00:24:18,643 --> 00:24:23,307
one experiential space continuum
dominate this oversoul?
181
00:24:23,672 --> 00:24:28,560
Or, would each mind participate
in the synthesis of a uniform
182
00:24:28,661 --> 00:24:33,270
newly created emergent space,
unlike any of its constituents?
183
00:24:33,844 --> 00:24:38,533
How would the physical and social functioning
of members of this group be altered?
184
00:24:38,835 --> 00:24:43,061
Or, could they function in
recognisable modes at all?
185
00:25:44,494 --> 00:25:49,629
There is some evidence to suggest
the potential telepathic intensity
186
00:25:49,964 --> 00:25:55,508
varies indirectly as the square of the
distance between two telepathists.
187
00:25:55,852 --> 00:26:00,732
An increase in physical distance may
therefore be used by one telepathist
188
00:26:00,833 --> 00:26:06,433
as an effective defence against telepathic
intrusion on the part of another telepathist.
189
00:26:07,150 --> 00:26:10,596
A far more sophisticated
intrusion avoidance device
190
00:26:10,696 --> 00:26:13,168
known as schizophonetic partition
191
00:26:13,268 --> 00:26:18,810
was evolved by one of the female subjects
during the group isolation sanitorium phase.
192
00:26:19,837 --> 00:26:23,923
In order to subvert attempts
by fellow subjects to establish
193
00:26:24,023 --> 00:26:26,670
potentially intrusive telepathic rapport
194
00:26:26,770 --> 00:26:30,882
she completely separated her
telepathic, non-verbal self
195
00:26:30,982 --> 00:26:32,862
from her oral verbal self.
196
00:26:33,921 --> 00:26:37,311
The telepathic self functioned
as a false self
197
00:26:37,411 --> 00:26:41,435
diverting fellow telepathists
from the real or true self
198
00:26:41,730 --> 00:26:48,018
which manifested itself only in occasional,
deliberately confused, verbal utterances.
199
00:26:48,344 --> 00:26:52,308
She thus protected her true
self from telepathic intrusion
200
00:26:52,408 --> 00:26:56,184
by abandoning her telepathic
faculty to a false self.
201
00:26:56,502 --> 00:27:01,994
Not surprisingly, repeated telepathic
probes undertaken by other subjects
202
00:27:02,094 --> 00:27:07,197
could not discover the true nature of
her experiential space continuum.
203
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:10,834
The danger inherent in
schizophonetic partition
204
00:27:10,934 --> 00:27:13,896
as a telepathic intrusion avoidance device
205
00:27:13,996 --> 00:27:16,495
is that the false telepathic self
206
00:27:16,596 --> 00:27:21,822
tends to become increasingly parasitic
on the true oral/verbal self.
207
00:27:21,922 --> 00:27:24,346
The true self begins to suffocate
208
00:27:24,447 --> 00:27:27,587
in as much as it is starved
of contact with the outside.
209
00:27:27,961 --> 00:27:31,180
And the false self gradually
becomes the only self
210
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,798
to interact with other selves.
211
00:27:33,898 --> 00:27:37,358
In the instance of our
female schizophonetic subject
212
00:27:37,718 --> 00:27:41,153
the true self began to express
its moribond existence
213
00:27:41,253 --> 00:27:45,171
through the telepathic emission
of violent images of decay
214
00:27:45,508 --> 00:27:50,020
vampirisim, disentegation and necrophilia.
215
00:27:50,297 --> 00:27:55,106
Which sporadically interrupted the
functioning of the telepathic false self.
216
00:27:56,121 --> 00:28:01,239
The intensity and frequency of this
emission of morbid, telepathic images
217
00:28:01,501 --> 00:28:06,897
rapidly increased until it began to
create the same depressed mode
218
00:28:06,997 --> 00:28:08,839
in those close to her.
219
00:30:36,282 --> 00:30:39,240
Another important function
of our experiment
220
00:30:39,340 --> 00:30:43,793
was to be the practical testing
of the Stringfellow hypothesis.
221
00:30:44,455 --> 00:30:48,812
The Stringfellow hypothesis takes
the form of the following equation:
222
00:30:50,288 --> 00:30:53,641
The rate of telepathic flow
between two minds,
223
00:30:53,742 --> 00:30:55,523
is directly proportional
224
00:30:55,623 --> 00:30:59,781
to the intensity of the relationship
between the two minds.
225
00:30:59,881 --> 00:31:02,961
The units used to measure flow and intensity
226
00:31:03,062 --> 00:31:05,161
are taken from psycho-chemistry.
227
00:31:05,875 --> 00:31:09,111
In less mathematical terms, we may say
228
00:31:09,211 --> 00:31:13,523
that this hypothesis indicates that
even between mature telepathists
229
00:31:13,623 --> 00:31:16,430
there can be no telepathic communication
230
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,396
until some sort of existential
emotional relationship
231
00:31:20,496 --> 00:31:23,966
has been established in
conventional sensory ways.
232
00:31:24,701 --> 00:31:29,736
Thus, among complete strangers
there would exist only a kind of noise,
233
00:31:30,068 --> 00:31:31,821
a short wave static
234
00:31:32,830 --> 00:31:36,817
The Stringfellow hypothesis
also suggests that here
235
00:31:36,917 --> 00:31:41,193
the potency of human eroticism
would play an important role.
236
00:31:41,515 --> 00:31:45,791
A strong sexual attraction
would be a substantial basis
237
00:31:45,892 --> 00:31:51,133
for the establishing of a geometerically
increasing rate of telepathic flow.
238
00:33:46,467 --> 00:33:51,336
The politics of experience
on the level of individuals
239
00:33:51,436 --> 00:33:55,136
is a correlative of the
politics of social groups.
240
00:33:56,296 --> 00:33:59,717
The politics of telepathic experience
241
00:33:59,817 --> 00:34:04,847
may be studied as a projection of the
power struggles among individuals
242
00:34:04,947 --> 00:34:09,494
into the extremities of psychic
potency and complexity,
243
00:34:09,594 --> 00:34:14,958
a projection that is, into the
future of human social evolution.
244
00:37:00,975 --> 00:37:06,294
The role of the induced telepathy series,
in the total Canadian social experiment,
245
00:37:06,701 --> 00:37:08,458
is theoretically secure.
246
00:37:09,265 --> 00:37:13,310
That role emerges out of
Dr. Stringfellow's concept
247
00:37:13,615 --> 00:37:15,429
the telepathic commune.
248
00:37:15,714 --> 00:37:19,956
A group characterized by the blending
of experiential space continua
249
00:37:20,288 --> 00:37:24,000
and the constant instantaneous
exchange of data
250
00:37:24,256 --> 00:37:26,982
among the nervous systems
forming the commune.
251
00:37:27,735 --> 00:37:32,491
Stringfellow indicates that at
the most basic structural level
252
00:37:32,784 --> 00:37:37,577
the telepathic unit,
which empasizes acts of faith and love,
253
00:37:37,877 --> 00:37:42,289
seems the most plausible replacement
of the obsolescent family unit.
254
00:37:43,478 --> 00:37:45,941
The communal telepathic experience
255
00:37:46,222 --> 00:37:50,077
translated into the larger
social national context
256
00:37:50,397 --> 00:37:55,638
would preumably carry with it intrinsic
qualities of willing reciprocal dependency
257
00:37:55,738 --> 00:37:58,562
and a mutual experiential creativity.
258
00:37:59,606 --> 00:38:03,324
The social responsibility
of telepathic prototypes
259
00:38:03,424 --> 00:38:06,098
is therefore of the utmost gravity.
260
00:38:06,510 --> 00:38:09,286
For it is only by their individual efforts
261
00:38:09,386 --> 00:38:14,827
that the creation of the first and most
critical telepathic communes can be realized.
262
00:41:37,697 --> 00:41:42,567
For those of exponentially and
maturing telepathic capacities
263
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:48,089
the question of phenomenological
refinement must inevitably become one
264
00:41:48,190 --> 00:41:52,462
with the problem of the
internalization of the sensory.
265
00:41:52,562 --> 00:41:55,517
The telepathist faces the
obsolescence of the
266
00:41:55,617 --> 00:41:59,076
senses and the possible atrophy
of the human sensorium
267
00:41:59,176 --> 00:42:02,045
in all but its most mundane operations.
268
00:42:03,049 --> 00:42:06,428
During a certain phase in
the telepathist's evolution
269
00:42:06,528 --> 00:42:11,948
the sensory will attempt to
internalize to avoid its extinction
270
00:42:12,048 --> 00:42:14,846
on the level of intellectuality and emotion.
271
00:42:15,971 --> 00:42:18,737
This avoidance could take two forms.
272
00:42:19,021 --> 00:42:21,459
One would be the forced psychic injestion
273
00:42:21,559 --> 00:42:25,693
of the entire universe is conveyed
in terms of sensory information.
274
00:42:25,793 --> 00:42:28,757
This would partially manifest itself in
275
00:42:28,857 --> 00:42:32,836
in the instantaneous translation
into the vocabulary of the sensory
276
00:42:32,936 --> 00:42:37,604
of all purely psychic abstract
or extrasensory phenomena.
277
00:43:09,525 --> 00:43:13,711
Second form of avoidance would
be the reification of the psychic,
278
00:43:13,811 --> 00:43:19,777
the abstract or the extrasensory, and its
subsequent externalization or projection.
279
00:43:20,254 --> 00:43:25,391
The process begun by the subjectification
and displacement of the nonsensory
280
00:43:25,491 --> 00:43:28,774
would find a point of
equilibrium and complete
281
00:43:28,874 --> 00:43:32,668
itself only with the indescriminate
return or internalization
282
00:43:33,004 --> 00:43:36,439
of both the projective nonsensory information
283
00:43:36,716 --> 00:43:38,837
and its sensory screen,
284
00:43:39,156 --> 00:43:43,485
the passive external world as perceived by the senses.
285
00:43:52,032 --> 00:43:58,062
In both instances, the distinction between
the sensory and the nonsensory,
286
00:43:58,368 --> 00:44:01,891
the concrete and the abstract,
the psychic and the physical,
287
00:44:01,991 --> 00:44:03,710
would be lost utterly.
288
00:45:41,086 --> 00:45:44,207
These opposite poles of human sexuality
289
00:45:44,307 --> 00:45:49,293
are traditionally held to be
hetrosexuality and homosexuality.
290
00:45:50,929 --> 00:45:55,421
Yet this same bipolar structure
of sexuality is ignored
291
00:45:55,521 --> 00:45:58,584
when the question of normaility
and deviation arises.
292
00:45:59,790 --> 00:46:02,785
The norm is taken to be hetrosexuality
293
00:46:03,114 --> 00:46:06,225
and both bisexuality
and homosexuality
294
00:46:06,325 --> 00:46:09,039
are considered deviations from that norm.
295
00:46:10,402 --> 00:46:15,152
The primary justification for normality
of hetrosexuality is reproduction.
296
00:46:16,503 --> 00:46:21,490
Only a hetrosexual relationship can,
as yet, result in regeneration.
297
00:46:22,296 --> 00:46:26,233
This argument colapses however
once it is demonstrated
298
00:46:26,333 --> 00:46:31,428
that the sexuality involved in reproduction
represents only a very small,
299
00:46:31,816 --> 00:46:36,443
almost accidental segment of
the total human sexual spectrum.
300
00:46:37,699 --> 00:46:43,156
Academy research has established that
both hetrosexuality and homosexuality
301
00:46:43,257 --> 00:46:46,527
are equally, what might
be termed perversions,
302
00:46:47,083 --> 00:46:50,580
relative to the potential
human sexual field.
303
00:46:51,172 --> 00:46:56,650
In this context, the true norm is
an expanded form of bisexuality
304
00:46:56,935 --> 00:46:59,177
which we term omnisexuality.
305
00:47:00,504 --> 00:47:03,883
As an aphrodisiast, Dr. Stringfellow
306
00:47:03,984 --> 00:47:07,265
proposes the use of synthetic
aphrodisiac drugs
307
00:47:07,365 --> 00:47:10,121
to assist those who wish to attain
308
00:47:10,221 --> 00:47:13,274
a fully three dimensional sexuality.
309
00:47:14,203 --> 00:47:17,201
The proper use of psychic aphrodisiacs
310
00:47:17,301 --> 00:47:20,588
such as those being
developed by Dr. Stringfellow
311
00:47:20,688 --> 00:47:23,797
at the Canadian Academy for Erotic Inquiry
312
00:47:23,897 --> 00:47:27,691
is not to increase sexual
potency or fertility
313
00:47:27,954 --> 00:47:33,533
but to demolish the walls of psychological
restraint and social inhibition
314
00:47:33,633 --> 00:47:36,791
which restrict persons to a monosexuality
315
00:47:37,075 --> 00:47:41,631
or to a stunted bisexual
form of omnisexuality.
316
00:47:42,890 --> 00:47:47,140
A telepathist then, by virtue
of the omnisexual nature,
317
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:49,777
of his experiential space continuum,
318
00:47:50,136 --> 00:47:56,385
may readily be seen to be the possible
prototype of three dimensional man.
319
00:50:37,153 --> 00:50:43,024
Certain unexpected result however,
threw the future of the project into doubt.
320
00:50:43,124 --> 00:50:48,176
When preliminary confrontations between
any two subjects were arranged
321
00:50:48,277 --> 00:50:53,234
the subjects not only reported no
instances of telepathic communication
322
00:50:53,335 --> 00:50:58,924
but quite emphatically avoided even the
most casual sensory contact with each other.
323
00:50:59,095 --> 00:51:03,163
At the same time,
electroencephalographic probes
324
00:51:03,263 --> 00:51:08,126
indicated that such telepathic
communication as was denied by the subjects
325
00:51:08,226 --> 00:51:13,679
was in fact taking place, and at
a remarkably high rate of flow.
326
00:51:14,110 --> 00:51:18,078
How could such flow exist among strangers?
327
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,023
In an emergency program modification
328
00:51:21,123 --> 00:51:26,284
five of our eight subjects were
combined in an enforced community study.
329
00:51:26,384 --> 00:51:31,690
These five subjects, although psychochemically
the least volatile of the group
330
00:51:31,790 --> 00:51:36,116
almost immediately retreated
into a state of false incapsulation.
331
00:51:36,217 --> 00:51:41,707
Refusing to communicate in any way
with either researchers or each other.
332
00:51:41,871 --> 00:51:44,934
Before further investigations could be made
333
00:51:45,034 --> 00:51:48,212
two of the five subjects committed suicide
334
00:51:48,313 --> 00:51:50,390
in their residences at the institute.
335
00:51:50,491 --> 00:51:54,526
Another, pierced his skull
with an electric drill,
336
00:51:54,626 --> 00:51:57,720
an act of considerable symbolic significance.
337
00:51:57,820 --> 00:52:01,808
Careful separation of the remaining
subjects was maintained.
338
00:54:12,501 --> 00:54:18,367
The study of human erotic morphology
deals more directly with this question.
339
00:54:18,868 --> 00:54:22,586
Morphology is the study
of form and structure.
340
00:54:22,963 --> 00:54:26,353
Erotic morphology is the study of those
341
00:54:26,453 --> 00:54:30,117
forms which evoke an
erotic or sexual response
342
00:54:30,217 --> 00:54:33,685
when they are perceived or
otherwise communicated.
343
00:54:34,457 --> 00:54:40,576
Not only the shape of objects or body
parts, but also the morphology of motion,
344
00:54:40,676 --> 00:54:43,006
of movement in certain patterns,
345
00:54:43,106 --> 00:54:47,096
can convey erotic signals
of a very complex nature.
346
00:54:47,953 --> 00:54:54,138
Finally, the combination of shape plus
motion can attain an erotic significance
347
00:54:54,238 --> 00:54:59,034
which is contained in neither shape
nor motion when taken separately.
348
00:54:59,135 --> 00:55:03,784
But, the telepathist does not
have to perceive a breast or thigh
349
00:55:03,884 --> 00:55:05,872
or sexual motion directly.
350
00:55:05,972 --> 00:55:10,886
He can apprehend the thought of
a breast, thigh, or erotic motion
351
00:55:10,986 --> 00:55:13,282
in the mind of another telepathist.
352
00:55:13,383 --> 00:55:16,687
And this thought is received
with greater impact
353
00:55:16,787 --> 00:55:19,610
than the perception of the actual breast,
354
00:55:19,710 --> 00:55:23,682
thigh, or erotic motion
would itself have been.
355
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:30,437
Thus, although both telepathists in our
hypothetical confrontation are male
356
00:55:30,538 --> 00:55:34,599
they have made an erotic
morphological communication
357
00:55:34,699 --> 00:55:38,936
which is essentially hetrosexual,
or male-female.
358
00:55:39,384 --> 00:55:41,614
We can begin to see why
359
00:55:41,714 --> 00:55:46,739
the telepathic experience is
essentially omnisexual in nature.
360
00:55:46,839 --> 00:55:52,271
Why the male-female bisexual
categories can no longer apply.
361
00:57:47,061 --> 00:57:51,975
In the sanitorium phase of
the induced telepathy series
362
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:58,524
measures were introduced to
prevent further instances
363
00:57:59,371 --> 00:58:05,014
of interuption caused by
frustrated telepathic dependency.
364
00:58:06,443 --> 00:58:12,010
A single compact electromagnetic
receiver transmitter
365
00:58:12,529 --> 00:58:16,851
was provided for the subjects
undergoing primary group isolation.
366
00:58:17,622 --> 00:58:21,823
The receiver transmitter
was to feed the subjects
367
00:58:22,327 --> 00:58:24,184
reproductions
368
00:58:24,659 --> 00:58:29,589
of a variety of patterns of
electrochemical discharge
369
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:34,218
unique to Dr. Stringfellow,
the group's common researcher.
370
00:58:35,443 --> 00:58:39,122
The prupose of these transmissions
from the institute
371
00:58:39,877 --> 00:58:44,332
was to ease the difficult transition from the
372
00:58:44,432 --> 00:58:47,128
inevitable telepathic dependency
373
00:58:47,535 --> 00:58:52,425
established individually between
Stringfellow and each subject
374
00:58:53,111 --> 00:58:59,011
to a group telepathic cohesion
and a group telepathic autonomy.
375
00:59:00,124 --> 00:59:04,800
The necessity of sharing the
transmitted electrochemical patterns
376
00:59:05,294 --> 00:59:09,324
either through the sharing of
the receiver transmitter itself
377
00:59:09,759 --> 00:59:14,566
or the telepathic sharing of the
experience of receiving the poatterns
378
00:59:15,822 --> 00:59:20,736
would provide a basis for the
formation of a telepathic commune,
379
00:59:21,633 --> 00:59:26,391
which did not depend upon
Stringfellow as a psychic cluster nucleus.
380
00:59:27,682 --> 00:59:31,668
Dr, Stringfellow indicated that he himself
381
00:59:31,768 --> 00:59:35,066
entered a severly depressive psychological
382
00:59:35,166 --> 00:59:39,004
mode upon separation from
the induced telepathy group.
383
00:59:39,478 --> 00:59:40,684
An event,
384
00:59:41,366 --> 00:59:44,989
suggesting that to some extent
385
00:59:46,478 --> 00:59:51,214
telepathic dependency
functions reciprocally.
386
00:59:51,756 --> 00:59:56,832
Even between telepathists
and non-paranormals.
387
01:00:45,785 --> 01:00:49,379
Five intensive months of work
with the remaining subjects
388
01:00:49,479 --> 01:00:54,935
revealed ways to gradually increase the
tolerance among them, or group exposure.
389
01:00:55,936 --> 01:00:58,652
It was found that the telepathic experience
390
01:00:58,752 --> 01:01:02,934
was likely to be an overwhelming
and extremely exhausting one
391
01:01:03,348 --> 01:01:05,790
verging on pain and hallucination.
392
01:01:06,630 --> 01:01:10,364
The most crucial problem for
the telepathist apparently
393
01:01:10,464 --> 01:01:14,875
was to develop within himself
the means to control and modulate
394
01:01:14,975 --> 01:01:19,744
the rate and quality of telepathic
flow between himself and another.
395
01:01:20,826 --> 01:01:24,161
The inexperienced telepathist
simply cannot cope
396
01:01:24,261 --> 01:01:29,143
with the complexity and effort involved
in the social telepathic situation.
397
01:01:30,389 --> 01:01:35,858
The first meeting of all the subjects as a
group took place at the Academy sanitorium
398
01:01:35,958 --> 01:01:38,068
somewhat later than originally planned.
399
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,539
The sixth subject arrived
two weeks after the others
400
01:01:42,639 --> 01:01:47,297
when it was certain that he had fully
recovered from his self inflicted violence.
401
01:01:48,096 --> 01:01:50,830
It will be sometime before
the data on this period
402
01:01:50,930 --> 01:01:54,735
accumulated through electroencephalographic
information retrieval
403
01:01:54,835 --> 01:01:56,772
can fully evaluated.
