FOREWORD x by Stanley Krippner, PhD Modern science, by and large, has been extremely antagonistic regarding parapsychology since its establishment in the 1880s, and this “gap of hostility” probably has widened rather than narrowed (Keen, 1997, p. 290). The Society for Psychical Research, founded in England in 1882, was the first major organization to attempt the scien- tific assessment of what are now called “psi phenomena,” usually defined as organism-environment and organism- organism interactions in which it appears that information or influence has occurred that cannot be explained by means of mainstream science’s understanding of sensory-motor channels (Radin, 1997). Hence, these reports are ‘anomalous because they appear to stand outside the modern scientific concepts o' Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and experience; parapsychology (or “psi research”) studies appar- ent anomalies of behavior and experience—those existing apart from currently accepted explanatory mechanisms that account for organism-environment information and influence flow. Psi phenomena are usually grouped under the headings of “extra-sensory perception” (ESP), “psi gamma,” or “receptive psi,” in which anomalous information flow is reported, and “psychokinesis” (PK), “psi kappa,” or “expressive psi,” in which anomalous influence flow is reported. A dream about an unusual event that is actually occurring at the same time as the dream would be a possible example of receptive psi, while a possible example of expressive psi would be the reported movement of physical object at the same time that someone claims to be “willing” that object to move. ‘The Parapsychological Association, founded in 1957 and an affiliate of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science since 1969, consists of about three hundred members in some thirty different countries. This group tends to exclude from its membership people who make dogmatic statements about anomalies; indeed, it has gone on record as stating that labelling an event as a psi phenomencn does not constitute an explanation for that event, but only indicates an event for which a scientific explanation needs to be sought (Parapsychological Associa tion, 1989). ‘The Parapsychological Association also has emphasized that “a commitment to the study of psi phenomena does not require assuming the reality of ‘non-ordinary’ factors or processes” (Ibid, p. 2). Despite these disclaimers and cautionary statements, parapsychology has been referred to by scholarly critics as a “pseudoscience” (Stanovich, 1985, pp. 159-162), a “deviant science” (Ben-Yehuda, 1985), and a “spiritual science” (Alcock, 1986, pp. 537-565) that is incompatible with the modem scientific worldview. Indeed, parapsychologists have been accused of harbor- ing @ hidden agenda in their work: The anomalies are for most parapsychologists only the means to an end; ultimately, they hope, these specimens will demonstrate once and for all that science as we know it is badly mistaken in its materialis- tic orientation and that human existence involves an ineffable, nonmaterial aspect that may very well survive the death and decay of the physical body. As long as the need exists to find meaning in life beyond that which is forthcoming from a materialistic philosophy, the search for the paranormal will go on. (Alcock, p. 563) It is against this background that Jean Millay's Multidimensional Mind assumes importance in the ongoing discourse. Dr. Millay places her perspective on psi phenomena directly within the context of what is already part of mainstream science—perception, communication, memory, intelligence, and the natural environment. Mining her ‘own massive research project for examples, she uses these gems to illustrate her position regarding such hypotheti- cal constructs as remote viewing, resonance, and non-local spacetime. For Dr. Millay, the multidimensional nature of mind requires a multidisciplinary approach for its description and perhaps, eventually, its understanding. Drawing from such diverse sources as humanistic and transpersonal xiv psychology, quantum physics, dream research, Eastern texts, and shamanism (¢.g., Bohm, 1980; Braud, 1984; Child, 1985; Griffin, 1997; Harman, 1988; LeShan, 1984: Tart, 1975; Taussig, 1987), Dr. Millay sees psi as a complex system, a mosaic in which many variables are constantly interacting. These variables range from one's state of consciousness during a psi phenomenon, to the state of consciousness of others involved in the psi interaction, to the status of solar and terrestrial fields at the time of the psi occurrence. ‘Toulmin (1982) writes that “postmodern science puts us in a position to reverse the cosmological destruction ‘wrought by modem science, from ab 1600 on. The world view of contemporary, postmodern science is one in which practical and theoretical issues, contemplation and action, can no longer be separated; and itis one that gives us back the very unity, order, and sense of proportion...that the philosophers of antiquity insisted on” (p. 264). This reunifi- cation of the worlds of humanity and nature is not a task for psi research alone, but the “new parapsychology” has a unique opportunity to play a vital role in this historie mission. [n the meantime, Multidimensional Mind falls within the parameters of Toulmin's description, as does Dr. Millay’s imaginative vision of humankind and its possibilities References Alcock, J. (1986).

Multidimensional Mind Page | INTRODUCTION Each of us has experienced some event during this lifetime that revealed the existence of dimensions of reality beyond our usual assumptions about space and time. For some of us it may have been triggered by a ‘traumatic event or a near-death experience. For some it may have been stimulated by a dream; or it may have come as a psychic communication from a loved one. For others, it was the result of meditation, of leaning to discipline the naturally noisy mind into a profound silence. ‘The reason I can say with assurance that it will happen to all of us at some time is not because I claim this to be a mysterious “psychic” prediction on my part, but because many respected scientists have reported solid research about psi phenomena. There is a large literature available for study. (1) Scientific research from many disciplines can show clearly that the true nature of our consciousness is multidimensional and a fundamental part of our mult dimensional universe. We can no longer conform to the limitations of 19th and 20th century materialistic ideas about what it means to be human. Our current manifesta- tion in a three-dimensional body is a projection of this multidimensional consciousness. While our brain/mind contains a vast collection of DNA memories, healthy cell memories, mythological memories, and experici oties, it also keeps track of its own space and time. Our multidimensional consciousness, however, is much more than the body/brain/mind it sets in motion. It is beyond the conventional three-dimensional measurements. Multi mensional consciousness is not even limited by the four dimensions of spacetime. It ean provide the mind (with its sensory systems and their memories) with information beyond the reach of the physical body, beyond the know- ledge of the mind. Researchers of psi phenomena from all over the world have shown this to be true, while many of us continue to study why and how it is possible. It is time to pay attention to the results of this research, and to contemplate what it means for all of us. You may have been taught that it is not possible for ‘one person to receive an image from another tele- pathically. The leaders of academic circles during the 19th and 20th centuries assumed that only the measurable was “real,” and mind-to-mind communication was considered to be beyond the measurable. We now know that this idea is wrong. The 21st century will be dominated by increased understanding of the capacities of human consciousness, and the potentials of this knowledge for dynamic evolution. Illustrated below are images that have been success- fully transmitted directly from mind to mind by lovers who were totally isolated from each other. Each target, used for testing telepathy, was randomly chosen from a pool of one hundred possible targets. The sender was required to redraw the target and to write about what she was thinking during the eight minutes of testing time. The receiver was asked to draw and to write about whatever came to his mind during that same time. These people were not pro- fessional psychics. They participated in our experiments because they hoped to improve their communication with each other. This is the only example in four hundred tele- pathy trials in which red zig-zag lines were drawn, and both the sender and receiver drew them at the top. The concept of a person in pain and a red “O” are also matched. All fields of human study and endeavor—education, medicine, biology, botany, physics and technology—will be changing as this vast potential of multidimensional consciousness becomes realized within each of us. We are co-ereators in the ongoing game of evolution. There is no need to be limited by the old mythologies of history.

Naturally, not all of the team’s thirty trials were as remarkable as the one on the first page, though their scores ranged from 40% to 12%. In these experiments, we certainly expected some to be missed completely, and about 25% of our four hundred telepathy trials fell into this category of unsuccessful at- tempis. However, when you consider that most skeptics as- sume that telepathy never happens, the actual rate of total failure is quite low. In addition, the five outside indepen- dent judges (using forced-ch ind matching tech- niques) matched 25% of the telepathy trials correctly. The other 50% of the trials were only partially correct, and so ‘some judges were able to match them and some were not. (Under each target isa box score for the number of correct matches for the two types of judging—blind matching and similarities matching.) However, the statistics are based ‘only on the hits vs. the ses of the blind matching, and these are shown on a graph in Chapter Four. We studied every response in detail and found the most information about the processes of mind-to-mind communication among the 50% of the trials that were only partially correct. This led to a careful analysis of the types of responses, as well. The four hundred telepathy re- sponses and thirty-five remote viewing (RV) responses did provide us with in-depth information, not only about the mental processes involved, but also about our projections, ‘our memories, and our multiple personalities. In Chapter ‘Two we have tried to present allthis in as simple a format as the complexities of the information allow We have no need to prove to anyone that something happens when we close our eyes to ask for a vision. Those of us who have practiced drawing, 2, sculpture, or film making over the years have an intimate relationship with visions. We have leamed how to quiet the verbal mind, how to focus total intention on the intelligence of the visual system, and how to wait for a vision to reveal itself, Since we all can explore our own potentials to expand our telepathic ability, perhaps the examples shown in the next few chapters will encourage you in your own personal ex- plorations. We also wish to show where you can go wrong in such experiments, so you are not led astray by your own mental projections. Perhaps we can help you sort out what your mind projects from what you actually perceive. that “seeing is believing,” but it is also true that “if you really don’t believe it, you won't see it.” And we could add another saying to that: “If you do believe it, you might see it, even if it is not there to be seen.” Hard-line skeptics, unwilling to believe what is demonstrated in the research, have called successful RV and telepathy “just good guessing.” They have vlosed their eyes to the richness of their own multidimensional minds. Since different people might use the same words with different meanings, we have attempted to clarify the way we use certain terms. The concepts defined in the next few pages include: 1) mind-to-mind communication and other psi phenomena; 2) the electromagnetic properties of our bodies and brains, and learning voluntary control of them through biofeedback; 3) various states of consciousness, such as meditation, trance, out-of-the-body: and 4) the multiple dimensions of the hyperspace and its relationship to non-local mind. For those who are not familiar with these terms, we recommend that you at least sean the next few pages, and perhaps refer back to them when you en- counter a process that is unfamiliar to you. Those people who are familiar with these concepts jump to Chapter One. Multidimensional Mind ‘TECHNICAL AND THEORETICAL CONCEPTS, ABOUT OUR MULTIDIMENSIONAL MINDS 1, Mind-to-Mind Communication — This phenomenon has been given various terms over the centuries. In 1886, Frederic W. H. Myers coined the term “telepathy” (feeling at a distance) to include all the processes of communica- tion of emotions, ideas, mental images, sensations, or words from one individual to another that were beyond the reach of the normal senses. (2) In 1930, Upton Sinclair used the term “mental radio” to describe the work he did with his wife, Mary Craig Sinclair. (3) By 1947, J. B. Rhine, PhD, was using the term “ESP,” which stands for “extra-sensory perception." (4) In 1973, at Stanford Re- search Institute (SRI), Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff, PhD, developed the term “remote viewing.” (5) They wanted to create some cogniti periments and other terms associated historically with the ‘occult. Elizabeth Rauscher, PhD, used the term “remote perception,” because all the senses can receive informa- tion, not just vision. (6) The Parapsychology Association continues to use the term “psi phenomena” to cover all psychic activity, 1g telepathy, clairvoyance, chan- neling, precognition, psychokinesis (PK), remote viewing (RV), etc. Some researchers are now using the term “anomalous cognition." clu 2. Telepathy —I prefer to use the word “telepathy” for our experiments in which we used target pictures pasted on 3" x 5" cards. (The illustrations on pages | and 2 are exam- ples of this type.) One hundred picture cards were always in the target pool from which the sender chose one ran- domly after the receiver was settled in a different room ‘The sender was asked to draw and to write what s/he was thinking about during the sending period. The isolated re- ceiver was asked to draw and to write about whatever came to mind during this same period. Both of them had a set of ten differently colored marking pens. Eighteen different pairs of people (teams) completed four hundred free- response telepathy trials between 1974 and 1980. The con- ditions varied when the teams wanted to reverse their roles of sender/receiver, but only the 355 trials consistent with the original protocol were used for the statistics. 3. Remote Viewing — We used the term “remote view- ing" (RY) when a whole environment was the official tar get (indoor or outdoor). These experiments were done ac- cording to the SRI terminology, though our methodology differed from theirs somewhat. We conducted thirty-five RV trials over a period of fifteen years, with each series of protocol. It is important to re- alize that the targets for both types of studies (telepathy and RV) are vasily different, even though the mental pro- cesses are basically the same. For remote viewing the teams are separated not by rooms, but by many miles. Ex- cept on two occasions, the outbound team and the remote viewer were never closer than ten miles. Several sessions were done from a distance of nearly three thousand miles, and the greatest separation was eight thousand miles. The illustration below is an example of this type of mind-to-mind communication. We expected to send and receive images of scenic places where tourists usually go. The cat is not an expected RY target site. The dog is not an expected RV response. The photo of the hungry cat was taken during the last five minutes of an RV experiment be- ‘ween Maui, Hawaii and Santa Rosa, California. James Dowlen was nearly three thousand miles away when he did this drawing of the hungry dog in his studio. The cat was a stray with a litter of nursing kittens. She had camped out on the porch of the rented cabin where I stayed during my visit to Maui. After our outbound team had left the “official” target site for that day, we arrived at the cabin to find this cat. My partner had brought cat food for her (not french fries as Dowlen’s drawing suggests), but I was an- noyed because of the timing of the distraction. The sending period was not quite over. However, because | was keeping track of all events as they happened during that hour, 1 photographed the cat as well. When I retumed to San Francisco, I was amazed to see Dowlen’s very specific drawing (below).

The transfer of animal type in the drawing is understood because memory is often projected onto the brief vision from the hyperspace. (See definition #21 page 12.) This was only one of several re- markable RV responses Dowlen had done for this series. The others are shown in Chapter Three. . Sensory Perception vs. Extra-Sensory Perception— In this study we can show that sensory perception is at the heart of telepathy and that it is incorrect to continue to use the term “exira-sensory”” to refer to one special extra sense that is dedicated to psychic perception. The concept implied by the term actually blocks the understanding of how the process works. Besides using the five generally acknowledged senses separately, we also use them in vari ‘ous combinations to arrive at additional information. Dean Brown, PhD, has listed more than fifty senses in his book, Cosmic Law. (7) Many of the senses on his list are related to the idea of resonance. It is far too simplistic to continue to refer to psi phenomena as though it were ESP, or a sixth sense. After all, each of the five senses has several sub- systems. For example, the sense of touch can detect tem- perature, texture, pressure, etc., and uses different nerve endings for each of these sub-systems. Rods and cones provide information to the sense of sight differently. Visu- alization and visual memory, which can take place with eyes open or closed, are included in the sense of sight even though they involve projections from within, rather than resulting from light coming into the eye from the outside. In Chapter One we illustrate ten combinations of sensory perceptions because they are revealed in the results of our research. Each sense has its own perceptual ability, proba- bly related to the individual's dominant cognitive style. I believe that the term “anomalous cognition” is also accurate because psi is not abnormal, or improper, as the ictionary defines the meaning of anomatous. | believe that mind-to-mind communication is a natural activity of consciousness, and in subsequent chapters we attempt to illustrate this from the examples of our research. The term ‘parapsychology” is also an inappropriate name. Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD. agrees. In his book Roots of Conscior ress he writes, “Iam refraining from using that term in this book, along with the related term paranormal. Such terms may have caused damage to a field whose subject matter is, in my view, properly conceived of as normal and psy- chological.” (8) Indeed the study of the human mind must now include its natural multidimensional character Multidimensional Mind 5. Teams — A telepathic team is composed of a sender and a receiver. All teams in our studies volunteered and chose their own partners. The only requirements for accop- tance into the study were that subjects had already estab- lished some rapport with each other, and that they were willing to commit themselves to the time necessary to complete all of the sessions (the telepathy and brainwave biofeedback training). Eight of the first eleven teams in the 1974 study were students at California State University at Sonoma (CSUS) in Cotati. Two teams included one stu- dent with a partner who was not a student. The average age of the students was mid-twenties, Another team had friends who were involved in the project. They asked to be included, though they were not students and were older, about mid-thirties. One team was a married couple with two children. The rest of the teams were composed of roommates, buddies, or lovers. By the following summer, two of the couples were married, but the others had sepa- rated. In the later 1980 study, the five teams, #12 to #16, were all male/female couples. Their ages ranged between thirty and fifty. One team from that group was married. The others were lovers, co-workers, or good friends. One additional team, at the TV recording studio, consisted of one sender and two receivers. Their results were not in- cluded with these statistics. For remote viewing experi- ments, there was more than one sender and/or more than one receiver. The make-up of the different RV teams is described in more detail in Chapter Three. 6. Targets — A target is whatever is chosen to be sent telepathically to the viewer. For remote viewing, the entire environment became the target site. For our telepathy, we used as targets pictures cut from all types of magazines. They were pasted on 3" x 5" cards so the picture on the back would not create confusion about the actuat target in- tended, and placed in envelopes. The monitor would shut= fle the target envelopes and spread them out in front of the sender, ask the sender to choose one randomly from the target pool, and announce the beginning of each trial. The receiver would draw whatever came to mind. This is called “freo-response telepathy,” as opposed to “card guessing.” One hundred targets were in the target pool at the begin- ning of each session, When attempting telepathy, itis best to have no idea whatsoever about the target, because it is the strange, unexpected, image that may be accurate. We discovered the major difficulties of using cards for targets when my son Mitchell Mayo was recovering from an illness at age ten. Since he took an interest in telepathy, we practiced with the five black symbols on the Zener cards to pass the time (used extensively by J.B. Rhine). At Multidimensional Mind first we had little success. Finally, we assigned an emotion (i.e., mad, sed, or glad) to each symbol. After that our transmission rate improved. The exercise had an unex- pected benefit. It allowed both of us to express emotion without the other one taking it personally, since the emo- tions were relegated to the symbolic images as abstrac- tions. Even with that benefit, we soon tired of the same old cards. Simple targets repeated over and over again are bor- ing. You can remember them all, so you can imagine them all. Memory and imagination create a noisy interference in the clarity of mind, and clarity is necessary for telepathy Card targets create static in the signal to noise ratio. Free-response telepathy is a better approach. However, amajor problem of free-response telepathy was revealed in a study by Hardy, Harvie, and Koestler. (9) In 1975, they conducted a number of experiments to test telepathy using simple line drawings. For controls, they did a “mock” ex- periment by asking two separate groups of people to make simple line drawings from memory, with no attempt to send or receive them telepathically. When they compared the two sets of drawings from the control groups, they found almost as many similarities as were found in their telepathic attempis. Here is the problem with this type of experiment. If we ask thirty people to draw twelve pictures of whatever came to mind and then compare all 360 pictures together, we might very well find about as many matching ideas and images among them as one might find among line draw- ings used during telepathic attempts. This does not prove that their telepathy set was matched only by chance. It does illustrate that many of us derive our pictures from a similar memory base. When we learned to read, the pictures with the words became word-picture-symbols. These early sym- bols are still in our memories. When we are asked to draw something, the earliest learned memories are often the im- ages that rise to the surface first. The list of common pi tures might read as follows: house, tree, flower, stick fig. ure or face, animal, mountain, sun, bird, boat, fish, car. No ‘matter how many line drawings might be made from mem- cry by people from the same culture, many images would naturally match, because of our shared memories from school textbooks, colorbooks, or other common sources. Early and shared memories are discussed in Chapter Six. In our study we hoped to avoid the confusion between actual telepathy and the synchronicity of shared memory. ‘That is why we created such a large target pool with so many very different images. Pictures were collected from any source available, such as posteards, hand-made draw- Page 5 ings, and comic books. Most of them were cut from a vari- ety of magazines with photographs of people, nature, things, paintings, drawings, or decorative words. Since the couples in our study were expected to respond differently to the same images, we asked the sender to redraw the ran- domly chosen target in its colors, rather than with only black outlines (a few black and white targets were included in the pool for contrast). Since we were exploring ways that communication between couples might be improved, wwe needed a record of what the sender might actually be thinking during the sending period. Sometimes the sender ‘was nor thinking about the target, and occasionally the re- ceiver’s response would follow that variance from the tar- get ina similar way. If you want to begin this practice at home, before go- ing to the trouble of cutting a lot of pictures out of maga- zines, I recommend that you buy a deck of children’s flash cards with one colored picture on one side and the word that goes with it on the other. Have someone else put them in security envelopes, so you don’t know what is there. Remove the ones you have already used from the deck, and shuffle the rest of them each time you use them. 7. Sending Period — In our telepathy trials, the sending. period was eight minutes long, divided into three sections. We found that if the sending period was too long, the thoughts of the participants would wander. If it was too short, the receiver might not feel tuned in sufficiently to receive an image. {As soon as the team arrived for the session, they would spend a few minutes meditating or just relaxing together. Often they had just come from school or another busy ac- tivity and needed to slow down or to eat something, After that they each would be given ten blank 3" x 5" cards and ten colored marking pens. In the presence of the monitor, they wrote their names and the date on all the cards and numbered them from one to ten, The monitor examined them and directed the participants into different rooms. ‘Two minutes were spent in quiet contemplation before the monitor asked the sender to select a target randomly from the pool. Then during the first timed period (two minutes) the sender would contemplate the target before beginning to redraw it. During this time, the isolated receiver could draw or write whatever came to mind. Four minutes were timed for the drawing, The monitor would then announce there were two more minutes to write on the card whatever they were thinking about. At that point they were 10 etly to clear their minds before the next target card was, chosen, The only words spoken would be by the monitor.
