Auto-SummaryIn 1932, Mrs. Garrett participated in a telepathy experiment with well-known psychiatrists and scientists in Newfoundland. She used conscious projection to reach her destination and experienced clairvoyance, clairaudience, and precognition. She was able to see the garden, sea, and house before entering the experiment room, and even sensed the damp atmosphere and flowers. She communicated with the experimentor through her projected self, describing objects on the table and hearing his spoken words. The experiment concluded in fifteen minutes, and a telegram from the experimentor confirmed her accurate perception of his bandaged head and the steps of the experiment.
In 1932 Mrs. Garrett worked with several well-known psychiatrists and scientists who were then interested in the problem of telepathy and a test was arranged for her in New York: "I knew for myself," she said, "that in order to accomplish the experiment successfully, I wouldhave to use conscious projection in order to arrive at the destination in Newfoundland which I expected to reach." Giving an account of her experience, she continues: "In my projected state in that place in Newfoundland, where the experiment was set up, I found myself not only at the place of the experiment, but before I entered the house, I was able to see the garden and the sea, as well as the house I was supposed to enter; I actually sensed the damp of the atmosphere and saw the flowers growing by the pathway. Then I passed through the walls and I was inside the room in which the experiment was to take place. There was no one there and I looked up the staircase, searching for the experimentor I had been told would be there. If I had to move upstairs to find him that would mean additional effort on my part, but fortunately he walked down the stairs at that moment and entered the room which I knew had been selected for the experiment. What took place then included notonly telepathy but the entire range of supernormal sensing, including clairvoyance, clairaudience and precognition. The Doctor, in this experiment, himself had powers of supernormal sensing, and was obviously aware of my presence and that the experiment had begun. In what I am about to relate, the proof of our mutual awareness will soon become evident. "Speaking aloud and addressing me he said: 'This will be a successful experiment,' and 1, sitting in a New York room, was able to receive this speech, seemingly through my physical hearing. The investigator in Newfoundland addressed my DOUBLE which I had projected into his study, and said, 'Now look at the objects on the table.' I followed his direction from that moment on, in much the same way as a hypnotised person responds to suggestion. I could see the objects on the table, not by means of ordinary sight but through clairvoyant vision; I then gave a description of what I saw, to the notetaker with me in New York. I heard the Doctor say, 'Make my apologies to the experimentors at your end. I have had an accident and cannot work as well as I had hoped.' I transmitted what I was hearing in Newfoundland to the notetaker in New York in exact words, which had been spoken to me and I also described the bandage on the Doctor's head. This had scarcely been done when I heard the experimentor in New York comment, in an aside: "This can't possibly be true, because I had a letter a few days ago and the Doctor was quite well then." "The experiment continued and I remained in my projected state: I followed the activity of the investigator in Newfoundland. The next thing he did was to walk slowly to his bookcase in his room; before he reached it I knew that he was thinking of a certain book, and I knew its position on the shelf: this was telepathy. He took it down and held it up in his hands with definitely the idea that 1, being present could read its title, and he then opened it and, without speaking, read to himself a paragraph out of this volume. The book was about Einstein and his theories of relativity. The paragraph he had selected he read through silently, and as he did so I was able to receive from his mind the telepathic impressions of what he read. The sense of his reading I reported to the stenographer, in my own words, while she sat in the room in New York. In the meantime, the experimentor, speaking aloud, told me in my projected state, that during this experiment he too had projected himself into the bedroom in New York of the psychiatrist who was his co-experimentor. He proceeded to describe the two photographs that he had actually seen there on this previous visit (physical) to New York but he now explained in Newfoundland that these photographs had been put away, and the bedroom of his friend had been redecorated since his actual physical visit. "This was the end of the experiment and the recorder commented when it was over that the entire proceeding had taken fifteen minutes. Had this experiment rested on telepathy alone I could never have reached nor seen the experimentor, the locality of the room and set-up for the experiment. All that pure telepathy could have produced would have been THE THOUGHTS IN THE EXPERIMENTOR'S MIND AND THE IMPRESSION OF THE WORDS HE HAD SPOKEN ALOUD TO ME. . . "The record of the experiment in New York was posted that night to the doctor in Newfoundland. Next morning a telegram was received from him; in it he described an accident which had occurred just before we had commenced our experiment and a day later a letter was received from him, listing the steps of the experiment as he had planned it. The telegram proved that I had not only heard his message correctly when he spoke to my DOUBLE there, but I had actually perceived his bandaged head... From his letter, we learned he had used a table and placed upon it a series of objects which I had seen correctly by means of CLAIRVOYANCE; every step of my description of his behaviour turned out also to be correct. The book he removed from the shelf, the title and the subject matter he read to himself, were as I described them when received through my own conscious projection and my application of clairvoyance and telepathy." * • Man Outside Himself by H.F.

-------------------- My favorites are weeping willows, which aren't really weeping at all. They're very wispy, witty and will dance in the breeze with you. Nothing like a tree that wants to dance with you. Although it doesn't like its thin limbs being pulled at all, it absolutely LOVES it when you walk through them, letting them gently slide over your face and shoulders. If you're naked, the willow considers it to be sex. It will orgasm on your mind and you will blow dream chunks into outer space. All very fun until your neighbor sees you. -The Joekenorer
