Mental Communication
: To The Editor:
Your article in the January 1982.
issue of SIGNAL ("C"" ?: On the
Strategic Potential of ESP," by
Roger . A: Beaumont, p. 39) was
read by me with particular interest ..
. My professional life has been occu-
pied in electronic communication,
the last 20 years, before retirement
three years ago, as an electronic
: engineer at Ft. Monmouth, NJ.
: As a member of the New Jersey
: Society of Parapsychology, I pro-
posed that the U.S. Army fund a
research effort in mental communi -;
: cation, or telepathy. I failed to con -.
vince lower echelons of manage-
i ment to send the proposal up to
command authority: --
RE: I have personally participated in,
Hand have witnessed experiments in
this activity: One of our members,
Dr. Douglas Dean had traveled to
an international symposium in Rus-
sia to observe parapsychology in-
terests. He recounted his experi-
ences to the membership. The Rus-
sians have trained receptor teams
-to receive telepathic messages. In-
telligence, audio, video or thought
energy is transmitted as individual
pulses. By use of the teams each
receptor contributes his fraction of
the transmission to all the others.
The integration forms a complete
intelligence.
.Dr. Dean, an adjunct professor
& at Newark College of Engineering
(now New Jersey Institute of Tech-
nology)' became Director. of the
Dream Institute at Mamoiades
-Hospital, New York City where he
conducted thought transfer experi-
ments -with certified results pub-
lished in scientific journals. The
U.S. government granted $25,000
to his activity. Professor Al Shu-
kur, bis co-experimenter, I believe,".
is still active in parapsychology at
NJIT. The. subject is offered in
scores of universities ...
It can be seen that my interest in
your article is based upon my con-
viction of unquestioned realism of
mental communication. Our gov-
emment had a viable credence in
parapsychology during World War
I. Edgar Cayce, an internationally
- recognized psychic was assigned in
an official role to General John :
Pershing and accompanied him on
European missions. Hugh Lynn
"Cayce, his son, and Director of the
Association for Research and En-
: lightenment, Virginia Beach, VA,
" has publicly stated his father's role
and can be expected to repeat his
gown experiences in relation to his.
father in this matter.
In the early 1930s when I lived in
; the Boston area, the Boston Herald
published in its Sunday magazine
: supplement, the results of its ask-
ing world famous scientists : what
they considered would be man-
kind's greatest achievement in the
20th century. Independently, six of
the 10 replied that man's ability to
communicate by thought process
would be the event.
: I advocate that the U.S. govern-
ment seriously undertake research
: in mental communication. There
are many young persons in this
country who have natural ability
and interest in this activity. Those
pragmaticists who cite the lack of a
scientific basis must be challenged
and educated.
While the Indians were using
smoke signals, radio was in the
:wings waiting to be discovered and .
developed. So, too, is mental com-
: munication-waiting.
