Case 8.2 VISION IMPAIRMENT

The subject was in town on a street. He saw from the distance a friend of him who was supposed

to be a covered police agent, always in civil clothes and all the time seeming to act as implicated in some professional activity of which the subject knew very little and did not want to be involved. His friend was caring a luggage and was speaking to someone and at the same time watching carefully in all directions looking for somebody to appear or maybe protecting himself or maybe doing it as a habitude of his profession. The subject wanted to approach him and to say hello, but did not knew if the friend was on his duty then or not and did not want to disturb some perhaps important activity and not at all to be involved in some complicate affair of his friend. So he decided to come near him very carefully and to decide only after being near the group of two to make his presence felt. So, he applied his stalking technique. When being at a very short distance he decided to say hello,as he did. After a time the friend expressed his astonishment, as he could not understand how could the subject  arrive then near them  without being noticed  as he was looking and watching for his own purposes all the movements from the street.

Case 8.3 VISION IMPAIRMENT

 

The subject remember that he applied  somehow unconsciously the stalking technique when he worked in a building with large and long corridors at every level. The levels were occupied by diferrent teams whose chiefs were not very friendly to each other, so when he walked in these corridors he had to follow the usual ritual from there, to move from one part of the building to the  other by avoiding as much as possible to use of the territory of the other team. This was an untold but known rule of conduct there. But sometimes he had to use the prohibited routes through the building to do his job. Than he aplied somehow, the stalking technique, in an unconscious manner it seems. So, some close people reported to him that he has the reputation to suddenly appear out of nothing at the end at a corridor through which he should have to walk,   to arrive at the end of it, without being observed to have come by it.

Case 8.5 Transmitting of thinking

 

The subject was now  aware that he may influence the others by his own thinking,.

and  devised an experiment to test this. He  asked an acquaintance,a young female to be his partner in a psychological experiment. Nothing was said on what it might happen, as not to preview, suggest or elicit a certain result. It was convened that during the experiment no word will be spoken until the end of it, which end  will be decided by both at any time when some one of them will feel need for any reason to end it. .No sugestion was made by the subject  on what might happen during the experiment. The partner was only asked to be attentive to his moods, thoughts and body sensations during it , as to be able to relate on them  after the experiment was over.

The experiment proposed would begin with both partners standing and facing each other, at about 0.5 meter distance. It was said that the subject at first will recede backward until an opposite wall  at about a 5 meter distance, in a slow manner, and will come back facing the partner all the time as he was coming back to her, and it will stop at the same distance, all the time both partners being attentive and looking to each other, without speaking. .After this, roles will change, the subject staying and the partner moving. The experiment will end and they will relate what they experienced to each other. The experiment would end at any time if by any reason any of them will feel the need  and ask for ending. It was stated and implied that the experiment was concieved and proposed  with no any hidden purpose and the two will  be not involved during it in another kind of relationship. The only aspect which was not expressed was the subject idea that a transmission of information from one brain to another will be tested. It was not mentioned as it could possibly influence the outcome of the experiment, by  verbally stating  and suggesting it.

The experiment began with the subject moving backward to the opposite wall. Doing

this he had to move so as to avoid some objects from the room positioned in his way back, which he could not see, as he was commited by the rule  of the experiment to look only at his partner. He had to do that by slowing down his motion, which suggested a slow motion when moving forward to come to his partner.

He reached the back wall and moved forward now. From the first step of coming back

something changed in the atmosphere that he could not recall or explicit. He tried at most to avoid the spirit of expectation and to let things happen and treat them with a non interfering attitude. As he approached his partner he saw her face changing the expression many times, displaying some fear and concern. He thought that he had to help her in a way, to avoid that this fear of her not to become overwhelming so he broke the rule of silence for a moment and he recomended her in a low tone to try to be more relaxed. She nod with a little smile which covers the same fear. At 3 meters from her, his moods changed again and his mind becomes without thoughts, and he  moved his feets quite automatically, he felt them moving by themselves as their motion would be commended by an outside order. The next sensation is that his feets become suddenly reluctant to move his body so  he had to make a big enough effort to continue, so he stopped. He reasoned that perhaps she was  by now too scared of him as he was  too close to her so she achieved to transmit her thought and will to his body so as to stop him. He announced now that this part of the experiment was over. He was now  at 1 meter apart from her. As they  agreed that  they may speak now, he told her that he supposed that she wanted to stop it just now. She agreed. He asked her on what she felt. She said that she was really scared and decided at the right moment when he stopped, to stop him. But she felt not to be scared by his person. She felt a scare produced by something unknown and not yet met in her life.

It was proceeded to the second part of the experiment, in which the subject stood still, the partner moving in front of him backward and forward after. He thought that changing roles would relieve her from the anxiety. Coming back from the opposite wall her face was quite inexpressive. He thought that she was copying his way of behaving. She seemed to move with such a determination as she would never stop. When she was at a 3 meters distance he felt a big wave of  strange and ununderstood emotion of a  which he thought he had to controll. He hardened the muscles of his body for a while. She continued to move, the same inexpressive and concentrate face toward him.

He thought that he did not want to end the experiment in a way that he could not keep under controll and which would change the purpose of it and break the deal made at the beginning. He thought that she did not realise what might happen and decided that he has to stop her in a manner sticking to the rule, i.e. non speaking. When she was at about 1,5 m apart he raised his hands automatically and directed them forward in a firm manner and kept them straight and tense, trying  somewhat to transmit that she may continue to move toward him, but after reaching his hands she might enter in a realm of privacy. She moved coming closer until one meter apart, not reaching yet his hands. She stopped for a moment at this distance and made one step back. He lowered his arms and told her that, with a soft tone, that at this time it would be better to consider the experiment close. She said, No, not at this moment, she  feels that she had to concentrate more and to try to move forward again in order to clear something to herself. She does it. He seems to recall to stretch his hands forward again but he is not quite sure of that. He recalls that she made  one step forward and one step back again. He said that if she makes this step back once more it would be better to stop the experiment. She does it, stepping  back and for again, and comes with him together at the conclusion to consider the experiment over.

Then they sit and comment what happened. She said that on the last two meters she

felt a sensation of chilling in the stomach, which became more intense when he raised and directed his arms toward her. Then she felt as facing a wall which appeared suddenly very close  to her body. As she tried to pass directly through it, or trying at least to do this she felt to loose the controll of her mind and body, and thought that stepping back she would recover from it. With one step back she rcovered  to her normal mind. She tried it several times and felt that at this right distance she may stay without harm but she could not continue to move forward even one step. At that time they concluded both to end the experiment.

Another session was decided by both as being challenging enough.

This time he was the only person standing still and the partner to move.

Knowing now that he may be subject to strong emotions he was more prepared to bring them to be more bearable,and not to make them manifested in any way, so that only the direct transmission from brain to brain to be available.

She moved back to the next wall at first. She approached him now with a more relaxed face and even with a little smile. Again at about 3 meter distance a net emotion was generated in him and felt with all his body, but he tried  to make no account of it and to remain restfull, silent and unexpressive, at any price. She comes closer and closer and he tries to refrain him from any supplementary thought and any bodily reaction, doing only what he decided to do at first, to look at her attentively. She overpasses the latter one meter wall .Passing by it ,she raised slowly her right hand, and pointed  it to her low abdomen, then let her hand down. She continued to move until about 30 cm of him. Her face bear the same little smile, but is mostly restfull and unchanged. She looks at him for several minutes and she blinks and says that she cannot see him any more as his face was covered temporarily with a white mist and she reasoned that she might loose the sense of vision for a while. This was the moment when they agreed to stop the experiment. He asked her to comment about raising her right hand. She said not being aware of doing this. All the time she felt to be very  intenselly inspected by his  eyes, but nothing else, until  she felt of not being able to see him any more.

Another experiment concieved in the same manner with another partner brought mainly the same last result. When looking to him from a short distance the partner lost temporarilly the sense of vision and had to blink many times to recover it.

      Comments

After recording of the case the author found several  references describing similar phenomena. The first one is from a  biography of  Morihei Uyeshiba the founder of  Aikido, a martial art. One time he was asked by his disciples to show them one forgotten ninja technique of disapearing from the sight of the opponent during a fight. As they were in  a room he asked the disciples to attack him all together at once. They were a crowd. The event began with a current of air like a wind  who seemed to move between  them, the master disappered  and they found them out of the room in their back. He was asked to repeat again the exploit. He refused, saying that this   being too exhausting for the mind  of the perfomer. 

In biblical Times Jesus was threatened to death by  a crowd of angry man decided to kill Him. He managed  to pass among them without harm. This could have  done by using a similar mind technique of influencing the mind of all people atacking him , as not be seen by them during the time when he passed through the mob to escape : " Then took up stones to cast him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by".

(John,8: 59).

The auhor also remembers that in a town where he lived for  several years, at a time a serial killer had to be caught by the police.  Rumors said that at a hunting operation the policeman who tried to catch him, as the  criminal was hinding in a room, put his hand on the door knob to open it. The door was not even  locked by key, .so to enter, the policeman would only have to open the door and summon  the killer to surrender. The policeman felt that he had no more power in his hand, even to turn the knob and remained stupefied for several minutes before regaining his normal mind. During that time the criminal escaped through the window. The policeman concluded that the criminal had that psychic technique of blocking the will of his adversary for a while.

Case No. 9 A state of alertness

 

The subject is a student in his early twenties. He has a sweetheart, a sheer platonic

love. He meets her only accidentally and says hello and good bye and sometimes change few words and thats all. They have great feelings each one for the other and both of them knew it but at that time nothing more happened between them. Exactly nothing.

The subject went to a student party which took place in the big entrance hall of the

college.The hall had a central part of  the floor removed and so the dancers were dancing in the corners of the hall near the walls.

He met there with a girl, an ancient highschool colleague and danced with her for a time. During a dance he felt a sudden need to look in another corner of the hall. He saw his sweatheart was staring to him very intensely from there. He continued to dance but his next movements were very unsure.

A month after he was coming out from  a  seminar session kept in the planetarium located in the college building. It was evening ,he was a little tired and dreamy from his meeting with the stars. He walked along a corridor of the college accompanied by a  student fellow. He felt the need to return swiftly and to look backward. He saw his sweetheart staring at him. More exactly, he felt the urge to look back as if somebody would call his name. He turned back but also with a quick move as if to secure himself from some atack. When he had his body turned back he was imediately determined to look at a body, which due to his quick move he did not recognise at the first time. It was only a body ar which he had to look for an unknown reason, at that time. The next fraction of a second he saw that it was the body of a girl, and he was looking automatically her breast. He had to explain further   that perhaps he turned suddenly his body back as to secure his life, and find him focusing his eyes directly on a breast, after this he saw that the breast was pertaining to a body of a girl, and after that he realised that this body was of his sweetheart, after that he saw her eyes staring somewhat disperately to him. She has stopped in that moment, ready to move toward him, not daring to do so, very still, but with a sort of restlesness resembling of those af an airplain forcing the jets  engines ready to leave the ground.

The final of this event is not relevant for the purpose of  the work and will be not related here.

Case No. 10 The feeling of a field

 

The subject a middle age male was teaching at a college. At an evening he worked with a student girl in a laboratory. They finished and went out. They went together across a park before to take a bus to downtown. They continued to speak on the results of the experiment and on some private matters after. He said at once with a loud voice :Pass to my right side ! So she did, asking Why did you ask me to do that ? He could not find the reason, and was also astonished about his behaviour, as he did not use to speak by giving order to anybody, anytime. She told having a boyfriend .When going out with him, he always asked her to pass to his right while walking side by side. The subject acknowledged her that he will test this immediately, and passed to her left and after to her right, again and again and analyzed his moods and feelings when walking side by side with her. He felt that always to her left an unconfortable sensation grew in his body and he wanted to move at a distance from her. To walk at the right was at least acceptable.              Being aware now about this, he tried it many times with another persons walking side by side and felt the same difference in sensation in many cases.
