now that we have some insight into the

concept of experiential space we may

consider interaction among the

experiential space continua of a highly

unique group of individuals in general a

study of the varying dimensions of human

experience in the context of man in his

society is known as human social

cybernetics in our experiment eight

category a subjects underwent pattern

brain surgery whose program was

developed within the Academy's organic

computer dialectic system the object of

surgery was to extend by a process

called biochemical induction the natural

electrochemical network of the human

brain

this extension would provide each

subject with telepathic capabilities a

telepathy is one who can communicate

with other minds by means which do not

involve perception by the senses thus

telepathy is a form of extrasensory

perception or ESP our subjects were to

be kept in isolation at the Institute or

three months where they were to prepare

for their first meeting as a group this

meeting was to take place at the Academy

sanatorium in the Ontario North Woods

telepathic dependency is an extreme form

of psychic addiction it is essentially

an electrochemical addiction the

dependent surrendering the autonomy of

his own nervous system to that of the

object of his dependency and altering

his patterns of electrochemical

discharge to mimic those of his object

when the object of dependency is

telepathically unavailable for long

periods of time the new nervous patterns

find themselves suddenly without a

constant source of electron off

illogical reinforcements and severe

psychic disorientation begins to

manifest itself in the dependent at its

most intense level a frustrated

dependency can result in the

irreversible destruction of critical

brain tissue in as much as the

establishment of a partial telepathic

dependency of the subject upon his

researcher is an unavoidable part of the

parapsychological experimental Gestalt

the means to maintain this dependency at

a controllable level must be considered

an organic element forming that

experimental Gestalt

during the Institute phase of the

induced telepathy series a subject

processed of a statistically excessive

dependency susceptibility quotient

wounded himself in the forehead with the

hand drill the wound a hole about 1/2 an

inch in diameter completely penetrated

the subjects skull and seemed to afford

him the relief of imagined cranial

pressures temporary euphoria and

electrochemical dissociation which he

saw

it will perhaps clarify these matters if

we consider the specific configuration

of the category a subject category a is

a classification which finds its meaning

within the scientific metaphysics of the

afro dizziest and theorist Luther

Stringfellow it is not what is usually

considered an objective classification

based for example upon physical or

psychological characteristics category a

is rather a certain field reaction of

the researcher to an intensive period of

personal interaction with each of his

potential subjects there is also

therefore the element of an aesthetics

of human form in the category a system

of subject classification dr.

Stringfellow made his name as an

exponent of the existential organic

approach to the sciences long before his

work in the socio chemistry of the

erotic achieved its present

international eminence the category a

classification is the existential

organic methodology put into practice

dr. Stringfellow has repeatedly stressed

the vital necessity for the use of this

approach particularly in the new social

sciences where variables are infinite

and complexity is of the highest

possible order the nature of erotic

research requires that the sexual

emotional involvement of the researcher

with each subject be taken to its

farthest possible extreme it is only in

this way that the researcher in whose

consciousness the total mosaic of his

particular research project exists can

divine in each of his subjects a color a

texture and a shape and so assign to

that subject his proper place in the

research mosaic

it was hoped that many important

questions would be clarified if not

answered during the course of our

experiment with induced telepathy two of

the eight subjects consented to having

portions of their larynx removed making

it physically impossible for them to

speak in addition large portions of the

speech centers of the brains of these

subjects were obliterated so that the

psychological Faculty of speech itself

would be impaired would the maturing and

strengthening of the telepathic capacity

in these speechless subjects surpassed

that of the subjects who still retained

the ability to speak it was anticipated

that the telepathic experience would be

much more than simply reading another's

mind 1 telepathy would perhaps be able

to apprehend not only verbal patterns as

they arose within the mind of another

but would also encounter simultaneously

the german's of layers of memory

learning emotional response and

psychophysiological impulse which

actually generate thought and language

how dependent upon language is thought

is abstract logical thought even

possible without language

the essence of the telepathic bond is

the dominance of one of the particles

forming the telepathic conglomerate

whether the conglomerate consists of two

telepathy sort of a large socially

cohesive group the principle of psychic

dominance remains constant the dominant

personality is responsible for the

suppression of the heterogeneous

elements which the conglomerate

comprises the homogeneous elements which

remain are then driven together to form

the conglomerate by the laws of

telepathic bonding implicit in a

Stringfellow hypothesis the principle of

dominance thus provides the a glutton

izing impetus which induces the initial

conglomerate of motion as Stringfellow

notes in defining the nature of

dominance the will of the newly formed

conglomerate must necessarily be a

function of the will of the dominant

personality only after an indefinite

period of a symbiotic telepathic Oh

Heavin can the dominant personality

abdicate its agglutinative role and

encourage the emergence of a truly

synthetic conglomerate personality

Stringfellow's behaviors

parapsychologists suggests that perhaps

his foremost post operative research

objective was to intuit which among his

category a subjects was the one most

capable of assuming the role of psychic

dominant this subject was then provided

indirectly with certain historical and

interpretive data concerning his fellow

subjects this data would naturally

assure the immediate social dominance of

the chosen subject within the context of

the experimental socially isolate

Gestalt the function of the dominant

would then be to select from among his

fellow subjects the one psychically most

vulnerable and by the application

of subtle social intimidations followed

by a careful series of potent symbolic

gestures draw this subject into the

field of his psycho telepathic dominance

once a true conglomerate exhibiting

complete telepathic bonding has been

established between this primary couple

the progression towards a larger and

more complex conglomerate may begin

in psychic research the emotional

distance between the researcher and his

subject is inevitably diminished until

it is no more than the distance between

any two persons the acquiescence of the

subject to the demands of the researcher

becomes nothing more nor less and an

individual act of faith of love if there

can be no love between researcher and

subject there can be no experimentation

in conventional theories of scientific

methodology an experiment proves its

validity when it can be universally

repeated in every aspect in psychic

research such an approach is completely

untenable the existential circumstances

of any experiment and parapsychology are

inextricably mixed with the individuals

and the phenomenological sets involved

in that particular experiment and cannot

be abstracted from those individuals our

phenomenological sets the conditions of

experiments in parapsychology are unique

non uniform and non repeatable a

completely non scientific burden is

therefore placed upon the researcher or

if the personal relationship between

researcher and subject deteriorates the

experiment cannot continue along its

natural course the sensitivity of the

experimental parapsychological plexus

demands new methods to help maintain the

emotional momentum of certain

experiments will be noticed that the

motto of the Canadian Academy for erotic

inquiry has immediate relevance for the

Stringfellow induced telepathy series a

more vinca Dom Nia or love conquers all

we understand that the unique way in

which an individual perceives and reacts

to his environment is a function of his

own experiential space continuum when

object events enter the experiential

space continuum of that individual they

become an integral organic part of that

space they are actually changed

qualitatively modified in accordance

with the creative nature of that space

but we are now dealing with telepathy in

theory the experiential space continuum

of two or more telepathy can merge can

blend together to an extend far beyond

the range of normal human experience

what would be the organic nature of

communal experience all space shared

among eight psychosomatic entities would

one person one mode of perception and

reaction one experiential space

continuum dominate this Oversoul or

would each mind participate in the

synthesis of a uniform newly created

emergent space unlike any of its

constituents how would the physical and

social functioning of members of this

group be altered or could they function

in recognizable modes at all

there is some evidence to suggest that

potential telepathic intensity varies

indirectly as the square of the distance

between two telepaths an increase in

physical distance may therefore be used

by one telepathy as an effective defense

against telepathic intrusion on the part

of another telepath is a far more

sophisticated intrusion avoidance device

known as schizophrenic partition was

evolved by one of the female subjects

during the group isolation sanatorium

phase in order to subvert attempts by

fellow subjects to establish potentially

intrusive telepathic rapport she

completely separated her telepathic

nonverbal self from her oral verbal self

the telepathic self functioned as a

false self diverting fellow telepathy

from the real or true self which

manifested itself only an occasional

deliberately confused verbal utterances

she thus protected her true self from

telepathic intrusion by abandoning her

telepathic faculty to a false self not

surprisingly repeated telepathic probes

undertaken by other subjects could not

discover the true nature of her

experiential space continuum the danger

inherent in the use of schizophrenic

partition as a telepathic intrusion

avoidance device is that the false

telepathic self tends to become

increasingly parasitic on the true oral

verbal self the true self begins to

suffocate in as much as it is starved of

contact with the outside and the false

self gradually becomes the only self to

interact with other selves in the

instance of our female schizophrenic

subject the true self began to express

its moribund existence through the

telepathic emission of violent images of

decay vampirism disintegration and

necrophilia which sporadically

interrupted the functioning of the

telepathic false self the intensity and

frequency

of this emission of morbid telepathic

images rapidly increased until it began

to create the same depressed mode in

those close to her

another important function of our

experiment was to be the practical

testing of the Stringfellow hypothesis

he Stringfellow hypothesis takes the

form of the following equation the rate

of telepathic flow between two minds is

directly proportional to the intensity

of the relationship between the two

minds the units used to measure flow and

intensity are taken from psycho

chemistry in less mathematical terms we

may say that this hypothesis indicates

that even between mature telepathy there

can be no telepathic communication until

some sort of existential emotional

relationship has been established in

conventional sensory ways thus among

complete strangers there would exist

only a kind of noise a shortwave static

the Stringfellow hypothesis also

suggests that here the potency of human

errata sysm would play an important role

a strong sexual attraction would be a

substantial basis for the establishing

of a geometrically increasing rate of

telepathic flow

the politics of experience on the level

of individuals is a correlative of the

politics of social groups the politics

of telepathic experience may be studied

as a projection of the power struggles

among individuals into the extremities

of psychic potency and complexity a

projection that is into the future of

human social evolution

the role of the induced telepathy series

in the total Canadian social experiment

is theoretically secure that role

emerges out of doctors Stringfellow's

concept of the telepathic commune a

group characterized by the blending of

experiential space continuum and the

constant instantaneous exchange of data

among the nervous systems forming the

commune Stringfellow indicates that at

the most basic structural level a

telepathic unit which emphasizes acts of

faith and love seems the most plausible

replacement for the obsolescent family

unit the communal telepathic experience

translated into the larger social

national context would presumably carry

with it its intrinsic qualities of

willing reciprocal dependency and mutual

experiential creativity the social

responsibility of telepathic prototypes

is therefore of the utmost gravity for

it is only by their individual efforts

that the creation of the first and most

critical telepathic

for those of exponentially maturing

telepathic capacities the question of

phenomenological refinement must

inevitably become one with the problem

of the internalization of the sensory

the telepathy faces the obsolescence of

the senses in the possible atrophy of

the human sensorium in all but its most

mundane operations during a certain

phase in the telepathy evolution the

sensory will attempt to internalize to

avoid its extinction on the level of

intellectual 'ti and emotion this

avoidance could take two forms one would

be the force psychic ingestion of the

entire universe is conveyed in terms of

sensory information this would partially

manifest itself in the instantaneous

translation into the vocabulary of the

sensory of all purely psychic abstract

or extrasensory phenomena

second form of avoidance would be the

reification of the psychic the abstract

or the extrasensory and its subsequent

externalization or projection the

process begun by this objectification

and displacement of the non sensory

would find a point of equilibrium and

complete itself only with the

indiscriminate return or internalization

of both the projected non sensory

information and its sensory screen the

passive external world has perceived by

the senses

in both instances the distinction

between the sensory and the non sensory

the concrete and the abstract the

psychic in the physical would be lost

utterly

these opposite poles of human sexuality

are traditionally held to be

heterosexuality and homosexuality yet

this same dipolar structure of sexuality

is ignored when the question of

normality and deviation arises the norm

is taken to be heterosexuality and both

bisexuality and homosexuality are

considered deviations from that norm the

primary justification for the normality

of heterosexuality is reproduction only

a heterosexual relationship can as yet

result in regeneration this argument

collapses however once it is

demonstrated that the sexuality involved

in reproduction represents only a very

small almost accidental segment of the

total human sexual spectrum Academy

research has established that both

heterosexuality and homosexuality are

equally what might be termed perversions

relative to the potential human sexual

field in this context the true norm is

an expanded form of bisexuality which we

term only sexuality as an afro dizziest

doctor Stringfellow proposes the use of

synthetic aphrodisiac drugs to assist

those who wish to attain a fully

three-dimensional sexuality the proper

use of psychic aphrodisiacs such as

those being developed by dr.

Stringfellow

at the canadian academy or erotic

inquiry is not to increase sexual

potency or fertility but to demolish the

walls of psychological restraint and

social inhibition which restrict persons

to a mono sexuality or to a stunted

bisexual form of omnis sexuality the

telepathy then by virtue of the ominous

sexual nature of his experience space

continuum may readily be seen to be the

possible prototype of

three-dimensional man

certain unexpected results however

through the future of the project into

doubt when preliminary confrontations

between any two subjects were arranged

the subjects not only reported no

instances of telepathic communication

but quite emphatically avoided even the

most casual sensory contact with each

other at the same time

electroencephalographic probes indicated

that such telepathic communication as

was denied by the subjects was in fact

taking place and at a remarkably high

rate of flow how could such flow exist

among strangers in an emergency program

modification five of our eight subjects

were combined in an enforced community

study these five subjects although

psycho chemically the least volatile of

the group almost immediately retreated

into a state of self encapsulation

refusing to communicate in any way with

either researchers or each other before

further investigations could be made two

of the five subjects committed suicide

in their residences at the Institute

another pierced his skull with an

electric drill an act of considerable

symbolic significance careful separation

of the remaining subjects was maintained

the study of human erotic morphology

deals more directly with this question

morphology is the study of form and

structure erotic morphology is the study

of those forms which evoke an erotic or

sexual response when they are perceived

or otherwise communicated not only the

shape of objects or body parts but also

the morphology of motion of movement in

certain patterns can convey erotic

signals of a very complex nature finally

the combination of shape plus motion can

attain an erotic significance which is

contained in neither shape nor motion

when taken separately but the telepathy

does not have to perceive a breast or

thigh or sexual motion directly he can

apprehend the thought of a breast thigh

or erotic motion in the mind of another

telepathy and this thought is received

with greater impact than the perception

of the actual breast thigh or erotic

motion would itself have been thus

although both telepathy in our

hypothetical confrontation or male they

have made an erotic morphological

communication which is essentially

heterosexual or male/female we can begin

to see why the telepathic experience is

essentially only sexual in nature why

the male-female bisexual categories can

no longer apply

in the sanatorium phase of the induced

telepathy series measures were

introduced to prevent further instances

of interruption caused by a frustrated

telepathic dependency a single compact

electromagnetic receiver transmitter was

provided for the subjects undergoing

primary group isolation the receiver

transmitter was to feed the subjects

reproductions of a variety of patterns

of electrochemical discharge unique to

dr. Stringfellow the group's common

researcher for the purpose of these

transmissions from the Institute was to

ease the difficult transition from the

inevitable telepathic dependency

established individually between

Stringfellow and each subject to a group

telepathic cohesion and a group

telepathic autonomy the necessity of

sharing the transmitted electrochemical

patterns either through the sharing of

the receiver transmitter itself or the

telepathic sharing of the experience of

receiving the patterns would provide a

basis for the formation of a telepathic

commune which did not depend upon

Stringfellow as a psychic cluster

nucleus

dr. Stringfellow indicated that he

himself entered a severely depressive

psychological mode upon separation from

the induced telepathy group an event

suggesting that to some extent

telepathic dependency functions

reciprocally even between telepathy and

non paranormals

five intensive months of work with the

remaining subjects revealed ways to

gradually increase the tolerance among

them for group exposure it was found

that the telepathic experience was

likely to be an overwhelming and

extremely exhausting one verging on pain

and hallucination the most crucial

problem for the telepathy apparently was

to develop within himself the means to

control and modulate the rate and

quality of telepathic flow between

himself and another the inexperience

telepathy simply cannot cope with the

complexity and effort involved in the

social telepathic situation the first

meeting of all the subjects as a group

took place at the Academy sanatorium

somewhat later than originally planned

the six subject arrived two weeks after

the others when it was certain that he

had fully recovered from his

self-inflicted violence it will be some

time before the data on this period

accumulated through

electroencephalographic information

retrieval can be fully evaluated
