Introduction

One of the major inconsistencies of the modern age, with all its unparalled miracles of modern

science, is that we have not caught up with our machines.

We have been to the moon. We have gained more factual information about our own world and its

environment in the past twenty - five years than has been accumulated in all the previous history of

man, from the time he first emerged from the cave ...

Yet we have not even penetrated the periphery of that ever-fascinating, ever, elusive enigma ... the

human mind.

Our scientists know how the miracles they have created work-but they don't know what they are, or

how they got here, or how they relate to us in the total scheme of life.

Students of the paranormal believe that, with the dawn of the Age of Aquarius, mankind will devote

his intellectual skills to solve these imponderables. His interest in material things, which came to a

brilliant climax in the ending Piscean Age, will transcend into the realms of the spiritual.

Already there are signs of this mystic transition in the general mood of the public, reflected by its

institutions.

There has been a great proliferation of interest in the occult. Astrology, long a "back street science,"

has become big business. Hundreds of thousands of people buy computerized personal horoscopes

through major department stores at $20 apiece. Astrological publications account for a healthy

percentage of newsstand sales, and the peripheral products are fantastic in their diversity. There are

zodiac sweat shirts, stationery, zodiac tapes and records, zodiac games, even zodiac foods. Almost

every consumer product has been, is being, or will be slanted to the wisdom of the stars!

Occult book stores are springing up like mushrooms, and thriving. Many of them have sidelines of

interesting, though questionable repute - herbs and oils to go into magic spells, mystic incense, Tarot

cards, crystal gazing bowls - everything conceivable to aid man in transcending the limits of his five

conventional senses.

In the most prestigious area, universities all over the world are underwriting to a greater or lesser

degree, the investigation of psychic phenomena.

Dr. J.B. Rhine and his wife Louisa pioneered in the academic field with their noteworthy experiments

in ESP while they were professors at Duke University, and continued later at their Foundation for

Research on the Nature of Man.

Students have done graduate work in ESP at Yale, Harvard, and Columbia. St. Joseph's College, a

Roman Catholic institution in Philadelphia, maintains a department of Parapsychology, and doctorate

degrees have been granted for psychical research at Duke, Yale, London, Cambridge, Oxford and at

the University of Utrecht in Holland. The latter institution recently established a Chair of

Parapsychology.

Very active research is going on today in the Soviet Union, although they have permitted little of this

activity to leak out to the world outside the Iron Curtain. Leningrad University maintains a laboratory

of Physiological Cybernetics, headed by Dr. P.I. Gulyaev, and it is believed they are conducting

amazing experiments in developing methods by which their astronauts may communicate

telepathically.

Nearly all of the major scientists of our times, including Einstein, Dr. Carl Jung, and the late William

James, eminent professor of psychology at Harvard university, have been ardent believers in the

undeveloped, unknown powers of the human mind and have conducted some very persuasive

experiments over the years.

In the belief that the general-public is now ready to embark, along with these masterminds, into the

dark, fascinating realm of the Occult Unknown, the following study has been prepared in convenient

alphabetical order to acquaint people with the basic spheres of Extra Sensory Perception and the

astonishing feats that have been investigated and documented in each of them.
