3
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:36,950
Now that we have some insight

4
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,210
into the concept of experiential space

5
00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:44,630
we may consider interaction
among the experiential space continua

6
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:47,800
of a highly unique group of individuals.

7
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,100
In general, the study of the varying
dimensions of human experience

8
00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:59,180
in the context of man in his society
is known as human social cybernetics.

9
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,690
In our experiment,
eight Category-A subjects

10
00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:08,740
underwent pattern brain surgery,
whose programme was developed

11
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:12,820
within the academy's organic
computer dialectic system.

12
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:16,500
The object of surgery was to extend,

13
00:02:16,580 --> 00:02:19,960
by a process
called bio-chemical induction,

14
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,080
the natural electro-chemical network
of the human brain.

15
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:30,470
This extension would provide
each subject with telepathic capabilities.

16
00:02:31,550 --> 00:02:35,470
A telepathist is one who can
communicate with other minds

17
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,020
by means which do not involve
perception by the senses.

18
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:45,810
Thus, telepathy is a form of
extrasensory perception or ESP.

19
00:02:46,940 --> 00:02:52,190
Our subjects were to be kept in isolation
at the Institute for three months,

20
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,110
where they were to prepare
for their first meeting as a group.

21
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,660
This meeting was to take place
at the Academy sanatorium

22
00:02:59,750 --> 00:03:02,510
in the Ontario Northwoods.

23
00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:56,990
Telepathic dependency is
an extreme form of psychic addiction.

24
00:04:58,450 --> 00:05:02,330
It is essentially
an electro-chemical addiction.

25
00:05:02,410 --> 00:05:04,990
The dependant surrendering
the autonomy

26
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,000
of his own nervous system
to that of the object of his dependency,

27
00:05:11,090 --> 00:05:14,850
and altering his patterns
of electro-chemical discharge

28
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,930
to mimic those of his object.

29
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,850
When the object of dependency

30
00:05:22,930 --> 00:05:26,470
is telepathically unavailable
for long periods of time,

31
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,770
the new nervous patterns
find themselves

32
00:05:30,860 --> 00:05:36,830
suddenly without a constant source
of electro-morphological reinforcement,

33
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:41,000
and severe psychic disorientation

34
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,290
begins to manifest itself
in the dependant.

35
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:50,450
At its most intense level

36
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,510
a frustrated dependency can result

37
00:05:54,590 --> 00:05:59,470
in the irreversible distraction
of critical brain tissue.

38
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,010
In as much as the establishment
of a partial telepathic dependency

39
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:12,140
of the subject upon his researcher
is an unavoidable part

40
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:16,610
of the para-psychological
experimental gestalt.

41
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:22,280
The means to maintain
this dependency at a controllable level

42
00:06:23,030 --> 00:06:29,330
must be considered an organic element
forming that experimental gestalt.

43
00:06:34,130 --> 00:06:39,100
During the Institute phase
of the induced telepathy series,

44
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,130
a subject possessed
of a statistically excessive

45
00:06:44,220 --> 00:06:47,930
dependency susceptibility quotient

46
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:52,570
wounded himself in the forehead
with a hand drill.

47
00:06:54,190 --> 00:06:58,410
The wound - a hole about
one half an inch in diameter -

48
00:06:58,490 --> 00:07:01,740
completely penetrated
the subject's skull,

49
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,610
and seemed to afford him the relief
of imagined cranial pressures,

50
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:08,870
temporary euphoria

51
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:12,870
and electro-chemical dissociation
which it sought.

52
00:08:31,290 --> 00:08:33,920
It will perhaps clarify these matters

53
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,880
if we consider the specific configuration
of the Category-A subject.

54
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,840
Category-A is a classification
which finds its meaning

55
00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:46,930
within the scientific metaphysics

56
00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:51,470
of the aphrodisiast
and theorist Luther Stringfellow.

57
00:08:52,930 --> 00:08:56,560
It is not what is usually considered
an objective classification,

58
00:08:56,650 --> 00:09:01,990
based, for example, upon physical
or psychological characteristics.

59
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:07,690
Category-A is rather a certain
field reaction of the researcher

60
00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:10,570
to an intensive period
of personal interaction

61
00:09:10,660 --> 00:09:13,380
with each of his potential subjects.

62
00:09:15,370 --> 00:09:20,830
There is also, therefore, the element
of an aesthetics of human form

63
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,010
in the Category-A system
of subject classification.

64
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:28,130
Dr Stringfellow made his name

65
00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:33,400
as an exponent of the existential
organic approach to the sciences,

66
00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:37,140
long before his work
in the socio-chemistry of the erotic

67
00:09:37,230 --> 00:09:40,360
achieved its present
international eminence.

68
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,700
A Category-A classification
is the existential organic methodology

69
00:09:46,780 --> 00:09:48,620
put into practice.

70
00:09:49,660 --> 00:09:53,670
Dr Stringfellow has repeatedly stressed
the vital necessity

71
00:09:53,740 --> 00:09:55,780
for the use of this approach,

72
00:09:55,870 --> 00:09:58,580
particularly,
in the new social sciences,

73
00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:00,760
where variables are infinite

74
00:10:00,830 --> 00:10:04,670
and complexity is
of the highest possible order.

75
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,010
The nature of erotic research requires

76
00:10:09,090 --> 00:10:13,590
that the sexual emotional involvement
of the researcher with each subject

77
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,930
be taken
to its farthest possible extreme.

78
00:10:17,770 --> 00:10:20,530
It is only in this way
that the researcher,

79
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:27,230
in whose consciousness a total mosaic
of his particular research project exists,

80
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,460
can divine in each of his subjects
a colour, a texture and a shape.

81
00:10:34,330 --> 00:10:40,130
And so assign to that subject
his proper place in the research mosaic.

82
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,580
It was hoped
that many important questions

83
00:12:00,660 --> 00:12:02,950
would be clarified,
if not answered,

84
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,210
during the course of our experiment
with induced telepathy.

85
00:12:07,290 --> 00:12:09,420
Two of the eight subjects consented

86
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:12,210
to having portions
of their larynx removed,

87
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:15,430
making it physically impossible
for them to speak.

88
00:12:15,510 --> 00:12:18,840
In addition,
large portions of the speech centres

89
00:12:18,930 --> 00:12:22,180
of the brains of these subjects
were obliterated

90
00:12:22,270 --> 00:12:27,070
so that the psychological faculty
of speech itself would be impaired.

91
00:12:28,270 --> 00:12:30,400
Would the maturing
and strengthening

92
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,690
of the telepathic capacity
in these speechless subjects

93
00:12:33,780 --> 00:12:38,580
surpass that of the subjects
who still retained the ability to speak?

94
00:12:39,870 --> 00:12:43,290
It was anticipated
that the telepathic experience

95
00:12:43,370 --> 00:12:47,500
would be much more
than simply reading another's mind.

96
00:12:47,580 --> 00:12:52,750
One telepathist would perhaps be able
to apprehend not only verbal patterns,

97
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,310
as they arose
within the mind of another,

98
00:12:55,380 --> 00:13:00,380
but would also encounter simultaneously
the germinative layers of memory,

99
00:13:00,470 --> 00:13:05,100
learning, emotional response,
and psycho-physiological impulse,

100
00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:08,320
which actually generate
thought and language.

101
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,820
How dependent upon language
is thought?

102
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:18,110
Is abstract logical thought
even possible without language?

103
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,150
The essence of the telepathic bond

104
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:44,660
is the dominance of one of the particles
forming the telepathic conglomerate.

105
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:49,280
Whether the conglomerate
consists of two telepathists

106
00:14:49,370 --> 00:14:52,450
or of a large socially cohesive group,

107
00:14:53,250 --> 00:14:57,210
the principle of psychic dominance
remains constant.

108
00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:59,850
The dominant personality
is responsible

109
00:14:59,930 --> 00:15:03,310
for the suppression
of the heterogeneous elements

110
00:15:03,390 --> 00:15:06,020
which the conglomerate comprises.

111
00:15:07,060 --> 00:15:09,730
The homogeneous elements
which remain

112
00:15:09,810 --> 00:15:12,720
are then driven together
to form the conglomerate

113
00:15:12,810 --> 00:15:18,230
by the laws of telepathic bonding
implicit in the Stringfellow Hypothesis.

114
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,080
The principle of dominance
thus provides the agglutinising impetus

115
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,540
which induces
the initial conglomerative motion.

116
00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:32,330
As Stringfellow notes
in defining the nature of dominance,

117
00:15:32,420 --> 00:15:34,840
the will
of the newly formed conglomerate

118
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:40,350
must necessarily be a function
of the will of the dominant personality.

119
00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:47,220
Only after an indefinite period
of symbiotic telepathic cohesion

120
00:15:47,310 --> 00:15:51,770
can the dominant personality
abdicate its agglutinative role

121
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:53,810
and encourage the emergence

122
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:57,740
of a truly synthetic
conglomerate personality.

123
00:15:58,860 --> 00:16:02,120
Stringfellow's behaviour
as parapsychologist

124
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,960
suggests that perhaps his foremost
post-operative research objective

125
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:10,660
was to intuit which among
his Category-A subjects

126
00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:15,510
was the one most capable of assuming
the role of psychic dominant.

127
00:16:15,580 --> 00:16:18,370
This subject was then provided indirectly

128
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:22,170
with certain historical
and interpretive data

129
00:16:22,260 --> 00:16:24,810
concerning his fellow subjects.

130
00:16:24,890 --> 00:16:26,850
This data would naturally assure

131
00:16:26,930 --> 00:16:30,310
the immediate social dominance
of the chosen subject

132
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:35,640
within the context of the experimental,
socially isolate gestalt.

133
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:39,350
The function of the dominant
would then be

134
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,480
to select from among his fellow subjects
the one psychically most vulnerable.

135
00:16:45,570 --> 00:16:49,820
And by the application of subtle,
social intimidations

136
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:53,830
followed by a careful series
of potent symbolic gestures

137
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:59,160
draw the subject into the field
of his psycho-telepathic dominance.

138
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,720
Once a true conglomerate exhibiting
complete telepathic bonding

139
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,310
has been established
between this primary couple,

140
00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:14,400
the progression towards a larger and
more complex conglomerate may begin.

141
00:20:02,810 --> 00:20:04,890
In psychic research

142
00:20:04,980 --> 00:20:08,990
the emotional distance
between the researcher and his subject

143
00:20:09,070 --> 00:20:11,410
is inevitably diminished
until it is no more

144
00:20:11,490 --> 00:20:14,290
than the distance
between any two persons.

145
00:20:15,620 --> 00:20:18,920
The acquiescence of the subject
of the demands of the researcher

146
00:20:18,990 --> 00:20:21,570
comes nothing more nor less,

147
00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:24,790
than an individual
act of faith... of love.

148
00:20:26,750 --> 00:20:30,420
If there can be no love
between researcher and subject

149
00:20:30,510 --> 00:20:32,720
there can be no experimentation.

150
00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:36,920
In conventional theories
of scientific methodology,

151
00:20:37,010 --> 00:20:41,220
an experiment proves its validity
when it can be universally repeated

152
00:20:41,310 --> 00:20:43,190
in every aspect.

153
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:48,110
In psychic research, such an approach
is completely untenable.

154
00:20:48,730 --> 00:20:53,650
The existential circumstances
of any experiment in parapsychology

155
00:20:53,740 --> 00:20:56,870
are inextricably mixed
with the individuals

156
00:20:56,950 --> 00:21:01,500
and the phenomological sets involved
in that particular experiment

157
00:21:01,580 --> 00:21:07,210
and cannot be abstracted from those
individuals or phenomological sets.

158
00:21:08,330 --> 00:21:11,620
The conditions of experiments
in parapsychology

159
00:21:11,710 --> 00:21:16,170
are unique, non-uniform
and non-repeatable.

160
00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:22,600
A completely non-scientific burden
is therefore placed upon the researcher

161
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,810
for if the personal relationship between
researcher and subject deteriorates

162
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:32,320
the experiment cannot continue
along its natural course.

163
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,400
The sensitivity of the experimental
parapsychological plexus

164
00:21:36,490 --> 00:21:40,290
demands new methods to help
maintain the emotional momentum

165
00:21:40,370 --> 00:21:42,710
in certain experiments.

166
00:21:42,790 --> 00:21:44,830
It will be noticed that the motto

167
00:21:44,910 --> 00:21:49,290
of the Canadian Academy for Erotic
Inquiry has immediate relevance

168
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:52,760
for the Stringfellow
induced telepathy series.

169
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,470
<i>"Amor vincit omnia. "</i>
Or: "Love conquers all."

170
00:23:21,130 --> 00:23:23,340
We understand that the unique way

171
00:23:23,430 --> 00:23:27,060
in which an individual perceives
and reacts to his environment

172
00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:30,890
is a function of his own
experiential space continuum.

173
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:33,930
When object events enter

174
00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:37,190
the experiential space continuum
of that individual

175
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,410
they become
an integral organic part of that space.

176
00:23:41,490 --> 00:23:43,330
They are actually changed,

177
00:23:43,410 --> 00:23:48,750
qualitatively modified in accordance
with the creative nature of that space.

178
00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:52,000
But we are now dealing
with telepathists.

179
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,460
In theory,
the experiential space continua

180
00:23:55,540 --> 00:23:59,130
of two or more telepathists
can merge,

181
00:23:59,210 --> 00:24:01,790
can blend together
to an extent far beyond

182
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,840
the range of normal human experience.

183
00:24:06,050 --> 00:24:10,800
What would be the organic nature
of communal experiential space

184
00:24:10,890 --> 00:24:14,560
shared among eight
psychosomatic entities?

185
00:24:14,650 --> 00:24:18,490
Would one person,
one mode of perception and reaction,

186
00:24:18,570 --> 00:24:23,450
one experiential space continuum
dominate this oversoul?

187
00:24:23,530 --> 00:24:27,250
Or, would each mind participate
in the synthesis

188
00:24:27,330 --> 00:24:30,670
of a uniform
newly created emergent space,

189
00:24:30,750 --> 00:24:33,170
unlike any of its constituents?

190
00:24:33,790 --> 00:24:36,290
How would
the physical and social functioning

191
00:24:36,380 --> 00:24:38,630
of members of this group
be altered?

192
00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:42,790
Or, could they function
in recognisable modes at all?

193
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,860
There is some evidence to suggest

194
00:25:46,950 --> 00:25:50,910
the potential telepathic intensity
varies indirectly

195
00:25:50,990 --> 00:25:54,660
as the square of the distance
between two telepathists.

196
00:25:55,620 --> 00:26:00,580
An increase in physical distance may
therefore be used by one telepathist

197
00:26:00,670 --> 00:26:04,010
as an effective defence
against telepathic intrusion

198
00:26:04,090 --> 00:26:06,760
on the part of another telepathist.

199
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,300
A far more sophisticated
intrusion avoidance device

200
00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:13,190
known as schizophonetic partition

201
00:26:13,260 --> 00:26:15,720
was evolved
by one of the female subjects

202
00:26:15,810 --> 00:26:19,440
during the group isolation
sanatorium phase.

203
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,390
In order to subvert attempts
by fellow subjects

204
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,730
to establish potentially
intrusive telepathic rapport,

205
00:26:26,820 --> 00:26:32,410
she completely separated her telepathic,
non-verbal self from her oral verbal self.

206
00:26:33,780 --> 00:26:37,240
The telepathic self
functioned as a false self,

207
00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:41,330
diverting fellow telepathists
from the real or true self,

208
00:26:41,420 --> 00:26:44,720
which manifested itself
only in occasional,

209
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,050
deliberately confused,
verbal utterances.

210
00:26:48,130 --> 00:26:52,130
She thus protected her true self
from telepathic intrusion

211
00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:56,300
by abandoning her telepathic faculty
to a false self.

212
00:26:56,390 --> 00:27:01,930
Not surprisingly, repeated telepathic
probes undertaken by other subjects

213
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:07,020
could not discover the true nature
of her experiential space continuum.

214
00:27:07,110 --> 00:27:10,580
The danger inherent in the use
of schizophonetic partition

215
00:27:10,660 --> 00:27:13,580
as a telepathic intrusion
avoidance device

216
00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:18,790
is that the false telepathic self
tends to become increasingly parasitic

217
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:21,660
on the true oral-verbal self.

218
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:24,090
The true self begins to suffocate

219
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:27,550
in as much as it is starved
of contact with the outside,

220
00:27:27,630 --> 00:27:30,960
and the false self
gradually becomes the only self

221
00:27:31,050 --> 00:27:33,670
to interact with other selves.

222
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,180
In the instance of our female
schizophonetic subject,

223
00:27:37,270 --> 00:27:41,110
the true self began to express
its moribund existence

224
00:27:41,190 --> 00:27:45,030
through the telepathic emission
of violent images of decay:

225
00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:49,740
vampirisim, disintegration
and necrophilia,

226
00:27:49,820 --> 00:27:52,580
which sporadically interrupted
the functioning

227
00:27:52,660 --> 00:27:55,910
of the telepathic false self.

228
00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:58,530
The intensity and frequency
of this emission

229
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:02,670
of morbid, telepathic images
rapidly increased

230
00:28:02,750 --> 00:28:08,340
until it began to create the same
depressed mode in those close to her.

231
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,120
Another important
function of our experiment

232
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,370
was to be the practical testing
of the Stringfellow hypothesis.

233
00:30:44,450 --> 00:30:48,780
The Stringfellow hypothesis
takes the form of the following equation:

234
00:30:50,210 --> 00:30:53,550
the rate of telepathic flow
between two minds,

235
00:30:53,630 --> 00:30:56,300
is directly proportional to the intensity

236
00:30:56,380 --> 00:30:59,840
of the relationship
between the two minds.

237
00:30:59,930 --> 00:31:02,770
The units used to measure
flow and intensity

238
00:31:02,850 --> 00:31:05,770
are taken from psychochemistry.

239
00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:07,860
In less mathematical terms,

240
00:31:07,930 --> 00:31:10,810
we may say
that this hypothesis indicates

241
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:13,490
that even
between mature telepathists

242
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,400
there can be no
telepathic communication

243
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,440
until some sort of existential emotional
relationship has been established

244
00:31:21,530 --> 00:31:23,860
in conventional sensory ways.

245
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:29,540
Thus, among complete strangers
there would exist only a kind of noise,

246
00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:31,700
a short wave static.

247
00:31:32,830 --> 00:31:35,830
The Stringfellow hypothesis
also suggests

248
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,000
that here the potency of human eroticism
would play an important role.

249
00:31:41,090 --> 00:31:45,340
A strong sexual attraction
would be a substantial basis

250
00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:50,980
for the establishing of a geometrically
increasing rate of telepathic flow.

251
00:33:44,590 --> 00:33:48,800
The politics of
experience on the level of individuals

252
00:33:48,890 --> 00:33:53,270
is a correlative
of the politics of social groups.

253
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,140
The politics of telepathic experience

254
00:33:58,230 --> 00:34:03,360
may be studied as a projection
of the power struggles among individuals

255
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,780
into the extremities
of psychic potency and complexity,

256
00:34:07,860 --> 00:34:13,320
a projection, that is, into the future
of human social evolution.

257
00:37:00,540 --> 00:37:03,130
The role of the induced telepathy series,

258
00:37:03,210 --> 00:37:05,880
in the total Canadian
social experiment,

259
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,970
is theoretically secure.

260
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,930
That role emerges
out of Dr Stringfellow's concept

261
00:37:13,010 --> 00:37:14,890
of the telepathic commune,

262
00:37:14,970 --> 00:37:19,520
a group characterised by the blending
of experiential space continua

263
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,310
and the constant instantaneous
exchange of data

264
00:37:23,390 --> 00:37:26,310
among the nervous systems
forming the commune.

265
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,950
Stringfellow indicates
that at the most basic structural level

266
00:37:32,030 --> 00:37:36,580
the telepathic unit,
which emphasises acts of faith and love,

267
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,700
seems the most plausible replacement
of the obsolescent family unit.

268
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,380
The communal telepathic experience

269
00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:49,510
translated into
the larger social national context

270
00:37:49,590 --> 00:37:52,840
would presumably carry with it
its intrinsic qualities

271
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:58,300
of willing reciprocal dependency
and a mutual experiential creativity.

272
00:37:59,220 --> 00:38:02,690
The social responsibility
of telepathic prototypes

273
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,760
is therefore of the utmost gravity.

274
00:38:05,850 --> 00:38:08,640
For it is only by their individual efforts

275
00:38:08,730 --> 00:38:13,070
that the creation of the first
and most critical telepathic communes

276
00:38:13,150 --> 00:38:15,270
can be realised.

277
00:41:38,860 --> 00:41:40,860
For those of exponentially

278
00:41:40,940 --> 00:41:43,900
and maturing telepathic capacities,

279
00:41:43,990 --> 00:41:49,160
the question of phenomenological
refinement must inevitably become one

280
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:53,490
with the problem
of the internalisation of the sensory.

281
00:41:53,580 --> 00:41:56,710
The telepathist faces
the obsolescence of the senses

282
00:41:56,790 --> 00:42:00,000
and the possible atrophy
of the human sensorium

283
00:42:00,090 --> 00:42:03,090
in all but its most mundane operations.

284
00:42:04,130 --> 00:42:07,460
During a certain phase
in the telepathist's evolution,

285
00:42:07,550 --> 00:42:12,760
the sensory will attempt to internalise
to avoid its extinction

286
00:42:12,850 --> 00:42:16,270
on the level
of intellectuality and emotion.

287
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:19,390
This avoidance could take two forms.

288
00:42:20,060 --> 00:42:23,810
One would be the forced psychic
ingestion of the entire universe,

289
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:26,730
conveyed
in terms of sensory information.

290
00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:29,440
This would partially manifest itself

291
00:42:29,530 --> 00:42:32,990
in the instantaneous translation
into the vocabulary of the sensory

292
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:38,500
of all purely psychic,
abstract or extrasensory phenomena.

293
00:43:10,570 --> 00:43:13,280
Second form of avoidance
would be the reification

294
00:43:13,370 --> 00:43:16,960
of the psychic,
the abstract or the extrasensory,

295
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,170
and its subsequent
externalisation or projection.

296
00:43:21,250 --> 00:43:26,430
The process begun by this objectification
and displacement of the non-sensory

297
00:43:26,510 --> 00:43:28,680
would find a point of equilibrium

298
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,770
and complete itself
only with the indiscriminate return

299
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:37,510
or internalisation of both
the projective non-sensory information

300
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,810
and its sensory screen -

301
00:43:39,890 --> 00:43:44,060
the passive external world
as perceived by the senses.

302
00:43:53,070 --> 00:43:55,110
In both instances,

303
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,950
the distinction between
the sensory and the non-sensory,

304
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,590
the concrete and the abstract,
the psychic and the physical,

305
00:44:02,670 --> 00:44:05,050
would be lost utterly.

306
00:45:41,930 --> 00:45:44,550
These opposite poles of human sexuality

307
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:49,730
are traditionally held to be
heterosexuality and homosexuality.

308
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,780
Yet this same bipolar
structure of sexuality

309
00:45:54,860 --> 00:45:59,740
is ignored when the question
of normality and deviation arises.

310
00:46:00,530 --> 00:46:03,820
The norm is taken
to be heterosexuality

311
00:46:03,910 --> 00:46:06,660
and both bisexuality and homosexuality

312
00:46:06,750 --> 00:46:09,800
are considered deviations
from that norm.

313
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:15,720
The primary justification for the normality
of heterosexuality is reproduction.

314
00:46:16,970 --> 00:46:21,980
Only a heterosexual relationship can,
as yet, result in regeneration.

315
00:46:22,970 --> 00:46:25,050
This argument collapses, however,

316
00:46:25,140 --> 00:46:29,640
once it is demonstrated that
the sexuality involved in reproduction -

317
00:46:29,730 --> 00:46:34,200
represents only a very small,
almost accidental segment

318
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,990
of the total human sexual spectrum.

319
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,540
Academy research has established

320
00:46:40,620 --> 00:46:43,920
that both heterosexuality
and homosexuality

321
00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:47,330
are equally, what might
be termed perversions,

322
00:46:47,410 --> 00:46:51,660
relative to the potential
human sexual field.

323
00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:57,210
In this context, the true norm
is an expanded form of bisexuality

324
00:46:57,300 --> 00:46:59,930
which we term omnisexuality.

325
00:47:00,970 --> 00:47:05,310
As an aphrodisiast,
Dr Stringfellow proposes the use

326
00:47:05,390 --> 00:47:08,010
of synthetic aphrodisiac drugs

327
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:13,390
to assist those who wish to attain
a fully three-dimensional sexuality.

328
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:18,030
The proper use of psychic aphrodisiacs,

329
00:47:18,110 --> 00:47:20,820
such as those being developed
by Dr Stringfellow

330
00:47:20,910 --> 00:47:24,250
at the Canadian Academy
for Erotic Inquiry,

331
00:47:24,330 --> 00:47:28,330
is not to increase sexual potency
or fertility,

332
00:47:28,410 --> 00:47:32,200
but to demolish the walls
of psychological restraint

333
00:47:32,290 --> 00:47:37,290
and social inhibition which restrict
persons to a monosexuality

334
00:47:37,380 --> 00:47:41,920
or to a stunted bisexual form
of omnisexuality.

335
00:47:43,140 --> 00:47:44,930
A telepathist then,

336
00:47:45,010 --> 00:47:50,680
by virtue of the omnisexual nature
of his experiential space continuum,

337
00:47:50,770 --> 00:47:56,650
may readily be seen to be the possible
prototype of three-dimensional man.

338
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,100
Certain unexpected results however,

339
00:50:40,190 --> 00:50:43,490
threw the future
of the project into doubt.

340
00:50:43,570 --> 00:50:45,660
When preliminary confrontations

341
00:50:45,740 --> 00:50:48,370
between any two subjects
were arranged,

342
00:50:48,450 --> 00:50:51,330
the subjects not only reported
no instances

343
00:50:51,410 --> 00:50:55,330
of telepathic communication
but quite emphatically avoided

344
00:50:55,410 --> 00:50:59,410
even the most casual sensory
contact with each other.

345
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:03,220
At the same time,
electro-encephalographic probes

346
00:51:03,290 --> 00:51:06,080
indicated that
such telepathic communication

347
00:51:06,170 --> 00:51:08,290
as was denied by the subjects

348
00:51:08,380 --> 00:51:13,590
was in fact taking place,
and at a remarkably high rate of flow.

349
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,900
How could such flow exist
among strangers?

350
00:51:18,430 --> 00:51:21,350
In an emergency programme
modification,

351
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:26,820
five of our eight subjects were combined
in an enforced community study.

352
00:51:26,900 --> 00:51:28,520
These five subjects,

353
00:51:28,610 --> 00:51:32,070
although psycho-chemically
the least volatile of the group,

354
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,620
almost immediately retreated
into a state of self-encapsulation,

355
00:51:36,700 --> 00:51:42,250
refusing to communicate in any way,
with either researchers or each other.

356
00:51:42,330 --> 00:51:45,330
Before further investigations
could be made,

357
00:51:45,420 --> 00:51:48,130
two of the five subjects
committed suicide

358
00:51:48,210 --> 00:51:50,920
in their residences at the Institute.

359
00:51:51,010 --> 00:51:54,730
Another, pierced his skull
with an electric drill,

360
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,140
an act of considerable
symbolic significance.

361
00:51:58,220 --> 00:52:02,060
Careful separation of the remaining
subjects was maintained.

362
00:54:13,150 --> 00:54:16,230
The study of human erotic morphology

363
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,030
deals more directly with this question.

364
00:54:19,950 --> 00:54:23,210
Morphology is the study
of form and structure.

365
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,410
Erotic morphology
is the study of those forms

366
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:31,130
which evoke
an erotic or sexual response

367
00:54:31,210 --> 00:54:35,420
when they are perceived
or otherwise communicated.

368
00:54:35,510 --> 00:54:38,680
Not only the shape of objects
or body parts,

369
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:43,940
but also the morphology of motion,
of movement in certain patterns,

370
00:54:44,020 --> 00:54:47,900
can convey erotic signals
of a very complex nature.

371
00:54:48,810 --> 00:54:54,770
Finally, the combination of shape plus
motion can attain an erotic significance

372
00:54:54,860 --> 00:55:00,200
which is contained in neither shape
nor motion when taken separately.

373
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,410
But, the telepathist does not have
to perceive a breast or a thigh

374
00:55:04,490 --> 00:55:07,070
or sexual motion directly.

375
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,620
He can apprehend the thought
of a breast, thigh, or erotic motion

376
00:55:11,710 --> 00:55:14,340
in the mind of another telepathist.

377
00:55:14,420 --> 00:55:17,540
And this thought is received
with greater impact

378
00:55:17,630 --> 00:55:22,260
than the perception of the actual breast,
thigh, or erotic motion

379
00:55:22,350 --> 00:55:24,440
would itself have been.

380
00:55:25,470 --> 00:55:31,310
Thus, although both telepathists in
our hypothetical confrontation are male,

381
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,240
they have made an erotic
morphological communication

382
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,410
which is essentially heterosexual,
or male-female.

383
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:44,000
We can begin to see
why the telepathic experience

384
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,630
is essentially omnisexual in nature.

385
00:55:47,700 --> 00:55:53,080
Why the male-female bisexual
categories can no longer apply.

386
00:57:47,530 --> 00:57:52,030
In the sanatorium
phase of the induced telepathy series,

387
00:57:53,950 --> 00:58:01,370
measures were introduced to prevent
further instances of interruption

388
00:58:02,050 --> 00:58:05,220
caused by frustrated
telepathic dependency.

389
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:12,810
A single compact electromagnetic
receiver-transmitter

390
00:58:12,890 --> 00:58:18,270
was provided for the subjects
undergoing primary group isolation.

391
00:58:18,350 --> 00:58:22,480
The receiver-transmitter
was to feed the subjects

392
00:58:22,570 --> 00:58:29,700
reproductions of a variety of patterns
of electrochemical discharge

393
00:58:30,450 --> 00:58:34,540
unique to Dr Stringfellow,
the group's common researcher.

394
00:58:35,870 --> 00:58:39,080
The purpose of these transmissions
from the Institute

395
00:58:40,170 --> 00:58:43,840
was to ease the difficult transition

396
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,090
from the inevitable
telepathic dependency

397
00:58:47,930 --> 00:58:52,020
established individually
between Stringfellow and each subject,

398
00:58:53,310 --> 00:58:59,190
to a group telepathic cohesion
and a group telepathic autonomy.

399
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,860
The necessity of sharing
the transmitted electrochemical patterns,

400
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:09,150
either through the sharing
of the receiver-transmitter itself

401
00:59:09,990 --> 00:59:15,330
or the telepathic sharing of
the experience of receiving the patterns,

402
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:20,870
would provide a basis for the formation
of a telepathic commune,

403
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,550
which did not depend upon Stringfellow
as a psychic cluster nucleus.

404
00:59:27,970 --> 00:59:31,430
Dr Stringfellow indicated that he himself

405
00:59:32,300 --> 00:59:35,550
entered a severely depressive
psychological mode

406
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,650
upon separation
from the induced telepathy group -

407
00:59:39,810 --> 00:59:45,100
an event, suggesting
that to some extent

408
00:59:46,570 --> 00:59:50,870
telepathic dependency
functions reciprocally,

409
00:59:51,950 --> 00:59:57,080
even between telepathists
and non-paranormals.

410
01:00:45,830 --> 01:00:49,580
Five intensive months
of work with the remaining subjects

411
01:00:49,670 --> 01:00:53,250
revealed ways to gradually increase
the tolerance among them,

412
01:00:53,340 --> 01:00:55,920
or group exposure.

413
01:00:56,010 --> 01:00:58,760
It was found
that the telepathic experience

414
01:00:58,850 --> 01:01:03,400
was likely to be an overwhelming
and extremely exhausting one,

415
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,070
verging on pain and hallucination.

416
01:01:07,060 --> 01:01:09,560
The most crucial problem
for the telepathist

417
01:01:09,650 --> 01:01:12,690
apparently was to develop
within himself

418
01:01:12,780 --> 01:01:17,620
the means to control and modulate
the rate and quality of telepathic flow

419
01:01:17,700 --> 01:01:19,950
between himself and another.

420
01:01:20,950 --> 01:01:24,330
The inexperienced telepathist
simply cannot cope

421
01:01:24,420 --> 01:01:30,680
with the complexity and effort involved
in the social telepathic situation.

422
01:01:30,750 --> 01:01:33,420
The first meeting
of all the subjects as a group

423
01:01:33,510 --> 01:01:39,230
took place at the Academy sanatorium,
somewhat later than originally planned.

424
01:01:39,310 --> 01:01:42,730
The sixth subject arrived
two weeks after the others,

425
01:01:42,810 --> 01:01:44,940
when it was certain
that he had fully recovered

426
01:01:45,020 --> 01:01:48,030
from his self-inflicted violence.

427
01:01:48,110 --> 01:01:50,860
It will be sometime
before the data on this period

428
01:01:50,940 --> 01:01:54,650
accumulated through electro-
encephalographic information retrieval

429
01:01:54,740 --> 01:01:57,160
can be fully evaluated.
