PSI and the cosmic forces


If we stretch our mental horizons and include the universe in our perception of things, we can embark on a fantastic voyage of new and exciting mind experiences. By opening the curtains to another dimension, we will also find that they have many practical applications in everyday life.
It is only recently that phenomena like black holes in space have received widespread prominence although astronomers have thought about them for years. People today are far more open to theories regarding different 'time zones' and 'timelessness' than they were in the past. The strictly defined rules of physics are being more closely questioned than before and the practice of astrology and numerology is no longer sneered at. And fewer people are willing to ridicule the theory, or phenomena, of communication with different life forms and other unexplained happenings which we will readily accept in Sci-fi movies and books.
How can that be of use on a practical level? Well, opening your mind and being receptive to new ideas and thoughts, will help you to adjust to an ever-changing world. You will not be regarded as being set in your ways and you should, therefore be able to keep up with younger generations whose thought patterns might be more exciting or adventurous than the ones around which you developed. Being open-minded about new theories and ideas does not mean that you are required to believe them. If an idea is not acceptable at present, or seems outrageous in the context of our knowledge, we should still examine it carefully and scientifically and, if it does not make sense today, put it to one side for the future. Never reject anything outright. Remember the stubbornness of the 'flat-earthers' who refused to believe the world could be round.
In Chapter One of this book, I introduced a great author and philosopher of our time, Arthur Koestler. He and his devoted wife Cynthia, who at fifty-six was twenty-one years younger than her husband, killed themselves at their Knightsbridge flat in London in 1983, with an overdose of barbiturates and alcohol. Arthur, who was a friend of mine, had been suffering from poor health and wanted to avoid a painful death. We had known each other for some years and he became an absolute believer in life after death. He also expressed a great interest in reincarnation and wanted, in another life, or career, to have been a faith healer.
On several occasions, he intimated to me that it was partly as a result of my powers that he had decided to leave his money to create a chair in Parapsychology at a British university. He also talked to me about death and warned me on several occasions that he would kill himself. He was not afraid of death in itself and regarded it as another passage. But he did fear the 'pain and humiliation' in the transition to death. He had completed most of his work on this planet and he was depressed with society and its beliefs. He felt he had another mission on another plane.
I did not think he would kill himself only six months after revealing his inner thoughts to me. His wife was relatively young and I would have thought she might have wanted to live longer. But they were of the same mind. There was no question that she would stay on this planet and face life alone without him.
Because of his tremendous standing in British society, Arthur had access to many records of unexplained events which he was keen to publish to help promote a wider acceptance of PSI. Like many of us, Arthur had also experienced the effects of PSI power and the following story helped convince him of the existence of telepathy.
When he was fighting the Fascists in the Spanish Civil War, he was captured and thought he would be executed. At one point, believing that he was only hours from death, he cast his mind back to a book he had read and in particular, to a certain passage.' . . A passage in a novel by Thomas Mann called Buddenbrooks. In that passage Thomas Buddenbrooks, who knows that he is soon going to die, reads a little book which comforts him. Although the little book is not named in the novel I knew it was an essay on death by Schopenhauer.'
Arthur survived this ordeal and after he was released from prison, he wrote to Thomas Mann to say how much he had been comforted by his book. Mann had not read Schopenhauer's essay on death for forty years but for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt the urge to do so and was reaching for the essay at the same time as his front doorbell rang. It was the postman with Koestler's letter. Either Koestler had been able to communicate his thoughts telepathically, or Thomas Mann had precognition about the content of Koestler's letter. Whichever was so, it demonstrated the power of PSI.
Oxford University's Religious Experience Research Unit (RERU) opened its files for Koestler, adding yet more substantive proof of telepathy and ESP. In one case, a father was desperately trying to console his distraught daughter who had been jilted for a second time. He could not find the words at first and then while getting her a drink he heard a voice say: 'As the sun sets, it also rises.' He repeated the words to his daughter and she quietened down. A year later his daughter was getting married and the reception was held at a very old country mansion. Inscribed in the old stone lintel over the door were the words: 'As the sun sets, it also rises.'
In another case - this one involved precognition - a man fell on to the underground railway line at the entrance to a London station just as a train appeared. Inside the train, and apparently for no known reason, a passenger suddenly pulled the emergency brake handle, prematurely stopping the train and thereby saving the man's life. The passenger had no way of knowing a man was on the line and the incident only came to light after the passenger was interviewed by London Transport police with a view to prosecuting him for stopping the train without reasonable grounds.
Arthur was also fascinated by the sixth sense in both animals and people and plants. The Russians had experimented with ESP in preparation of their space programme. One of the tests they had devised was to show the existence of ESP between mothers and babies. Mother rabbits were tested for their reaction when their offspring were killed thousands of miles away on a submarine. They registered a shock reaction at the precise time of death of their young.
Western and Eastern bloc agencies would love to use ESP-ionage. They have not dismissed the possibility of man being able to influence the course of missiles or alter important information in top security computers or read the minds of important people. The Kremlin's secret budget on mindpower experiments is estimated at around sixty-five million dollars whereas the Pentagon spends only a tenth of this.
Obviously I cannot say too much about this, but I have been asked to participate in several programmes of research involving strategic defence. I can however, tell you what has publicly been revealed about results of some of the tests. Other psychics like myself have been able to telepathically project their thoughts across thousands of miles to ships and aircraft and successfully give instructions to those in command. They have also been able to locate positions of missile bases, submarines and ships and 'see' inside top secret military bases.
Unfortunately, it is usually only well-known people with public credibility who are not ridiculed when they describe unusual happenings. American actress Shirley MacLaine had a premonition that something had happened to Peter Sellers shortly after he died. Lindsay Wagner, the actress who played Bionic Woman, was booked to fly out of Chicago with her mother on 25 May, 1979. She cancelled about ten minutes before boarding the aircraft because she had a terrible feeling that something was not right. The DC10 crashed killing more than two hundred and seventy passengers. Lindsay has also shown that she has precognition; when only fourteen years of age, she foresaw the house she would live in with her future husband.
TV star Erik Estrada was filming the hit series Chips when he was involved in a motorcycle accident, that nearly killed him. If only he had listened to a warning from his mother, it might have been avoided. Carmen, his mother, had telephoned him three days earlier and told him that she had had a dream that he had visited her. She felt something was going to happen and told him to be careful when driving. Erik felt himself leaving his body after the accident but consciously thought to himself that he vas too young to die.
The actress Rita Tushingham believes in communication with the dead through mediums. She was able to communicate with her sister who died when she was six months old. Peter Sellers' wife, Lynne Frederick, has made spiritual contact with the star on several occasions. A seance was held at the home of Michael Bentine, Sellers' friend, with a well-known medium. He told Lynne: 'I haven't really left you. Death is not the end.'
It is no coincidence that Lynne went to the home of Michael Bentine, a top British comedian. He is renowned for his psychic abilities. He foresaw the death of his son in a light aircraft twelve weeks before the accident happened. He told his son, who was called Gus, not to fly with his friend Andy as he had had a premonition that both boys would die in the plane. The warning was not heeded and the two young friends died instantly when their light plane crashed in the circumstances predicted by Michael.
The next day Michael felt a hand on his shoulder. It was his son Gus making a brief visitation to whisper the words: 'Daddy I'm terribly sorry - so sorry ' By a strange coincidence, Michael had predicted the death of other young airmen, but that was during the war. He had been an intelligence officer in the Air Force and was required to instruct crews. Occasionally, he would see the face of a young flier turn into a skull and would know that it would be the young man's last flight.
The former actor David Jannsen who starred in Harry 0, telephoned his favourite psychic after he foresaw his own death. In a dream, he saw himself being carried from his house after collapsing from a heart attack. Then he saw himself being buried. Two days later he had a massive heart attack and died.
I have already spoken of the tremendous PSI communication that exists between twins. This next story is a tragic illustration of that closeness. The case involved identical English twins called Joy and Margaret.
When the girls were four years old they were taken into care in Norfolk. Throughout their lives they had experienced each other's illnesses. Margaret, who had been twice married, had a job in Belgium, while her sister Joy had moved to Melbourne, Australia. In 1984, Joy who was on the other side of the world to her sister, suddenly developed a blinding headache within hours of her sister's death. She experienced pain for three days as well as a growing sense of doom for Margaret. Then finally, an explanation was given. News reached the family that Margaret had been found dead in a Belgian wood. She had been shot ten times in the head.
Barbara Woodhouse, who is world-famous for the way she treats animals and gets the best out of them, uses her PSI powers in other ways as well. She can contact people without using conventional means of telecommunication. Her son was at Wimbledon watching tennis when a company rang offering a job interview. He wanted that position badly and Barbara sent him a telepathic message to phone home. He did so within ten minutes. Barbara complains that electrical gadgets often stop working in her presence and she also has a tame but mischievous ghost at her home in Hertfordshire.
A positive PSI practised by English actress Diane Langton has, she says, brought her health, wealth and happiness. She calls her positive thoughts 'psycho-pictography.' When she was still trying to make it as an actress, she lived in a crummy flat without a bathroom but visualised a beautiful house with a swimming-pool. Now she owns one just like she visualised it would be. She describes her PSI thoughts in the following way: 'I do it every day, usually as soon as I wake up in the morning: I picture myself in somewhere like the Wembley Stadium and I am singing to thousands. I can hear the applause. If I wanted a Rolls Royce, I would picture it in my driveway and I would get it.'
When she wanted a separation from her first husband, he refused to go away and pestered her. To achieve a final split, she visualised him waving goodbye and leaving her and the problem soon came to an end.
Ghost stories are very much part of our tradition and folk lore, but try telling a friend you have seen a ghost and watch the reaction. Will it be one of incredulity or will your friend think you have finally flipped your lid? Members of the Dallas cast, including actress Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy, were spooked out when they saw the apparition of actor Jim Davis who played Jock Ewing. He began haunting the set in a friendly way soon after his death.
There have been hundreds of sightings of ghosts in castles and old homes. The royal family is convinced of the presence of ghosts in several properties owned by them. The Roman author Pliny, who was regarded as a reliable and accurate historian of his times, told the story of waiting one night in a haunted house and following a ghost which, with much rattling of chains, disappeared at a certain spot. He marked the spot where the apparition had disappeared and the next day ordered a dig. A slave had been buried at the spot and after the remains had received a proper burial, it no longer haunted the house.
An English psychiatrist, Dr R Kenneth McAll, has claimed an amazing success curing patients through dead 'spirits.' His theory was that many women were extremely unsettled over abortions and would, even years later, suffer because of the ghosts of their dead children. He would lay those ghosts to rest after exorcising the patient, with whom he would then pray for forgiveness. He said that hidden guilt in a patient's ancestors can also be the cause for a person's abnormal behaviour.
Faith in divine providence brought its rewards to one remarkable man. He was a medical missionary in China and was held for four years as a prisoner in a Japanese war camp. While there he had a vision of Christ joining him and giving him guidance. On his return to Britain, he sought divine help to buy a house and was led to a twenty-eight room mansion dating back to Saxon and Roman times and formerly owned by the famous Sherlock Holmes writer, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He did not have the money to buy it although he desperately wanted it. His faith got him his wish: a patient bought him the house together with valuable Chinese pottery sets from the Ming Dynasty period. Soon after he moved in, the writer's ghost appeared and Dr McAll exorcised this spirit.
Dr McAll was also asked to exorcise underground buildings in the British Channel Islands in which Nazi labour camp prisoners had been made to work. Some had died or had been killed and thrown into the concrete constructions. These unhappy souls were not properly laid to rest and had haunted the place since, the psychiatrist claimed.
I have known a number of people who have related their near death experiences to me. Studies have also been conducted into this subject and the results have been of some comfort to those who feel they are shortly to share this experience. From what has been told by those entering this different state, it is difficult not to believe that there is life hereafter.
The majority of near death experiences related to me, have been pleasant. The 'victims' have felt at peace with the world and happy in their state, almost a euphoric happiness. Some entered dark tunnels and after being pulled through them, found a new and delicious floating existence in which there was a dazzling, but not a blinding, light. Others talked about an out of body experience and had been in two minds about leaving it permanently or returning to it. A final stage of 'knowing' was reached by few. The knowing stage was one of completeness, harmony and communication with others which was then shattered on the subject's 'return.'
Nature, numerology, and cosmic forces
Plant life responds favourably to PSI power. I personally talk to my favourite plants and stroke them and urge them to grow. Tests have been done which prove that the response to this kind of treatment is highly beneficial and plants which have not been given the same doting attention have not fared so well. Electrodes attached to plants have registered changes when the plants received 'emotional' shocks. In one test, live prawns were dropped into boiling water and registered 'anxiety' as a result.
The famous Findhorn Community in Scotland, which has attracted people from all over the world and was started by a former Air Force squadron leader, Peter Caddy, had enormous success with growing plants and vegetables in 'hostile' soil. The community was told that their windswept landscape at Findhorn bay overlooking the Firth of Moray would support very little apart from natural weed. Within a short time, the community was growing record size vegetables which attracted global interest. The greatest input, according to the community, was PSI power. They will their crops to grow! Human development has also progressed rapidly over the years at Findhorn. Certain members of the community found they were receiving, and could send, telepathic messages from inmates of slave labour camps in Russia.
Numerology: Ancient civilisations were aware of the importance of numbers as much as we are today. But then, numerology had a mystical importance as well, sometimes involving magic and philosophy as in the Hebrew Kabala. And it has always been linked to fate through astrology, Tarot cards, I Ching, Rune stones and the casting of die. Planets and the laws of physics and mathematics are dependent on numerology. From gambling to providing estimates for work, we too are dependent on numbers and mathematical equations.
PSI and numerology: Use your PSI power to make numbers bring you good luck! We all have our favourite numbers. Use them positively to make things happen for you. By using positive PSI power and reinforcing your positiveness when your lucky number comes up, you will automatically increase your chances of success. Numerology itself does not involve ESP. It is the art of reading character and personally through numbers, usually between 1 and 9. Your birth number, for example, is arrived at by adding up all the digits of your birth date and then reducing them to a single number between 1 and 9. If you were born on the 1 December, 1968, (1.12.1968), you would calculate your birth number in the following way:
1+1+2+1+9+6+8=28 2+8=10 1+0=1
So if you were born then, your birth number is 1. Ancient Greek philosophers like Pythagoras attached supreme importance to numbers, giving them specific meanings which have since been broadened and adapted. Pythagoras said: 'All things are numbers.' They were the first things in the 'whole of nature.' Heaven was a musical scale and a number. Numbers constituted the essence of things.
More complicated character assessments can be made by determining your number, and for this you must first convert your name into figures in the following way:

123456789
ABCDEFGHI
JKLMNOPQR
STUVWXYZ

Convert each letter of your name to a digit and then add them up and reduce them as with the birth number until you have a single digit number. If your name is Jo Smith, your name number would be:
1+6+1+4+9+2+8=31 3+1=4
Jo Smith has a name number of 4.
Interpreting your number: The following attributes have been attached to the numbers 1-9:
1: Independence, leadership, ambition, confidence.
2: Compatibility, balance, harmony, diplomacy.
3: Creativity, freedom of thought, independence.
4: Industriousness, soundness, dependability.
5: Daring, brave, adventurous, free.
6: Responsibility, peace, harmony, leadership.
7: Mind development, mystery, wisdom, understanding.
8: Material and financial success, authority, balance.
9: Achievement, vision, power, supremacy.
Your birth or name number could be quite different from your 'favourite' or 'lucky' number. My 'lucky' numbers are 11, 7, and 17. I have won a lot of raffles by choosing the number 11. My son was born at eleven pm and a lot of my friends find 11 a significant number. Numbers can also be closely linked to your destiny, as they were in the case of John Lennon.
John's special number was 9. He was born on 9 October, 1940 and he was spotted by Brian Epstein at the Cavern in Liverpool on 9 November, 1961. The following year the Beatles first record contract was signed on 9 May and their first record Love Me Do was on Parlophone R4949. John met Yoko on 9 November, 1966. At the time she was living on West 72nd (7+2=9) Street, New York. As a boy, John would travel on the 72 bus to his art college, and his songs included Revolution 9, Number 9 Dream and One After 909. (He wrote this last song at his mother's home in 9 Newcastle Road, Liverpool.) When he was shot outside his New York apartment, John Lennon's body was taken to Roosevelt Hospital on Ninth Avenue.
Gambling and PSI: Gambling involves luck and the element of chance which can be calculated by numbers. Before you set off to the racetrack or betting shop and test your lucky number, stop and think on a practical PSI level. Ask yourself this question: 'Who's richer - me or the bookies?' If you are not richer, I would advise that you do not gamble away your hard-earned money. The odds are on their side. It's their business and when it comes to betting the odds are that they will out-psych you every day and every way. If you are so rich that losing won't affect you, have a light-hearted flutter but don't become obsessed with gambling, it can be a very costly and dangerous disease.
How much of a gambler are you? Try this quiz answering each question with either a 'Yes,' 'No' or 'Not sure.'
1. Do you live in constant hope of winning the pools?
2. Do you have ready formed plans on how to spend the money?
3. Do you purchase tickets for lotteries?
4. Is watching the racing on TV much more fun if you have money at stake?
5. Is the logic of winning a fortune for a small stake appealing to you?
6. Do you find the atmosphere of a casino exhilarating?
7. Do you always bet on the biggest horse race event of the year?
8. Do you ever bet on the outcome of a friendly game of sport, say tennis?
9. Would you place a bet on a horse if its name or something about it appealed to you?
10. Do you ever have small bets with colleagues at work?
11. Do you think you could be lucky at gambling?
12. Would you be among the last to go home in a late night card session with friends?
13. Do you get a thrill from winning?
14. If you were offered the choice of playing a game for money or playing on a friendly basis, would you choose the former?
15. Given the opportunity, would you prefer a game of poker with friends to going to the theatre?
Scoring: Score two points for every 'Yes' answer, one point for 'Not sure,' and 0 for 'No.'
A score of 26 or more suggests you might have a problem and it could be a good idea to pay a visit to Gamblers Anonymous. I suggest you do not go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City. There are some very rich casino groups in those towns and they would love to entertain you while you still had some money left.
A score of 12 or over indicates that you are at least predisposed to be the gambling type. In personality theory, this means you are more sensitive to reward than punishment. A score of 18 or more suggests a definite leaning towards being a gambler. If you can control this instinct you could do well in business because you are also a positive personality.
I do not like to gamble because of some bad experiences in the past but nevertheless I would still use my PSI powers if the gambling urge possessed me. I'll tell you what I did in my more foolish moments: Shipi and I made a lot of money gambling one night in a London casino and the following day I felt nauseated by the fact that I had used my powers wrongly. It affected me so much that I felt I was going to die. In the end I threw away the money - about thirty thousand dollars and felt instant relief. After that I swore I would work hard for my money.
My method of gambling was the following: I tried to use my mind to control the ball in a game of roulette. But first, I would stand in an uncrowded spot and just watch and see which way the game was going. I would then relax and begin to concentrate on the ball and visualise it appearing on certain numbers. Without placing money on the board, I would see how many times I could get it right. If it worked every time I would then start putting money on the game and back my judgment.
I would only place the money on the table after the croupier turned the wheel; that way I felt I had better control. I would never take my eyes off the ball and with the help of mindpower, I would will it to fall on a particular number. I also made sure that another person was not trying to do the same thing at my table, as otherwise there could be a psychic clash. But I can promise you that the best and most satisfactory way to a fortune is still through hard work, making use of your PSI power, and positive thought!
