We reviewed the historical background of its use and the declining ability of modern humans to call upon this energy source at will due to the process of natural selection resulting from disuse.

Now we will explore the hidden powers of the mind such as telepathy, telekinesis, remote perception, hypnosis, astro travel, and the phenomena referred to as the 'vivid dream'. Here are a few examples:

The Polish Mesmer:

Joseph Stalin had a tightly guarded dacha at Kuntsevo in the former Soviet Union. A platoon of bodyguards always hovered near him and all of the staff were members of the secret police. No one could enter without permission or a special pass.

One morning, a slightly built, dark haired man entered the dacha without attracting any special attention. Bodyguards stood back respectfully and the domestic staff made way.

The man walked down a hallway past several identically furnished rooms and went directly to the room where Stalin sat reading and stood in the doorway. Stalin looked up in astonishment and asked, "How did you do it?". (This was actually a test ordered by the dictator himself. This man was in fact, a very famous performer of psychic abilities known all over Europe whose name was Wolf Messing.)

Messing stated that he merely psychically 'cloaked' himself projecting an image of Leverenti Beria, pince-nez and all, the infamous and notorious leader of Stalin's dreaded secret police whom nobody in their right mind would confront with anything, and walked unmolested past all. In effect, Messing momentarily 'switched-off' the entire staff and security apparatus. (To our readers who have researched UFO alien abductions - - - does this sound vaguely familiar?, But lets not go there yet, we have lots more to cover.)

Stalin's tests had actually began some months earlier. While performing one night in the Russian city of Gomel, Messing was arrested right in the middle of a performance. Two green uniformed police officers politely informed the audience that the performance was over and whisked Messing off into the night. At the conclusion of the trip, Messing found himself directly in front of Joseph Stalin.

Stalin had heard of Messing's talents which had been tested by such notables as Einstein, Freud, and Gandhi. Also, Messing was a Polish citizen who was on intimate terms with many top ranking officials of the former Polish government including the late Marshal Pilsudski.

In 1937, Messing had predicted that if Hitler turned eastward, he would be dead in 1945 and Germany would loose the war. Hitler immediately put a 200,000 mark price tag on his head, dead on arrival.

When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Messing fled to Russia where he mesmerized audiences with his psychic abilities. Stalin not only wanted to know about the thoughts and plans of the former Polish leaders but was also interested to what use Messing's abilities might be to his own future plans. Hence a series of tests to prove these abilities of which the before mentioned was one of them.

The 100,000 ruble psychic bank robbery:

Messing was instructed to enter the Moscow Gosbank where he was not known and psychically rob it. Upon entering the bank, he handed a teller a blank piece of paper and an attache' case where upon the teller immediately filled the case with 100,000 rubles and handed it back to Messing who promptly returned it to the dictator thus proving his psychic abilities.

Vladimir Darov's Psychic Animal Theater:

In the 1900's, Durov's Animal Theater became famous, (and infamous), all over Eastern and Western Europe where he sent audiences rolling in the aisles with hysterical laughter at the mimicked antics of his trained animals. But this also had its down side.

At a performance in St. Petersburg, Durov spotted the Tsar's Minister of Finance in the audience where upon he had his famous performing pig, Chuska-Fintiflushka, satirize the minister's well known antics which set the audience into convulsive laughter. The minister, however, didn't think it was so funny and barred him from St Petersburg. He had also been tossed out of Odessa and Yalta for satiric acts on military governors. In Germany, the pig satired Kaiser Wilhelm where upon Durov was immediately declared persona non grata along with his pig and deported.

But what was so unique about the Animal Theater was that Durov trained and choreographed all of his animals by mental telepathy. This came to the attention of one of Russia's academicians from the Russian Academy of Science, Vladimir M. Bekhterev who decided to scientifically test Durov's abilities. He invited Durov with Mars, his beautifully groomed Alsatian dog, to visit his study. There were three tables in the study litered haphazardly with books, files, and papers.

Bekhterev handed Durov a note which said, "Don't say a word!" "Have Mars fetch me the telephone directory!". Durov quietly took Mar's head in his hands and stared directly into his eyes without saying a word. Mars promptly went to each table, put his front paws upon it, and looked and sniffed. At the third table, Mars retrieved the phone book from within a pile of books, took it in his mouth, and brought it directly to Bekhterev.

In more modern times a Russian chess master refused to play in a chess tournament until a certain KGB mind manipulator was removed from the premises.

Russian Cosmonauts were taught basic telepathic skills in case of lost communications with their space craft.

As we have seen, some people are born with telepathic and psychic abilities. But most ordinary individuals of average intelligence can be trained in these areas.

On one occasion, a trainee decided to practice telepathic communication while standing in line at the checkout in a Safeway store. He grounded himself, (stopped left-brain thinking), looked directly at a woman two lines over, pictured her 'grounded' and telepathically sent her a 'picture' of her looking directly at him. To his great surprise, the woman immediately began starring at him. He immediately looked away as it is unethical to remain in contact with a person with whom one has no legitimate contract to practice such skills.

While putting his groceries into the trunk of his car, he felt someone gently tap him on the shoulder. He turned and found himself directly faced by the woman he had attempted to telepathically communicate with and immediately felt like the little kid caught with his hands in the cookie jar.

"Why did you want me to look at you?", she stated. He immediately apologized and said that he was just practicing. She stated that she thought that was the case sense he immediately looked away and further revealed that both she and her mother had been born with psychic skills. A lively conversation ensued and he asked her if she would consider working with him to help in perfecting these skills. She replied that under normal circumstances, she would be glad to but that her husband's company had just transfered them to southern California and that they were visiting friends in the area on their way.

Well, we can't win them all.

We will examine all of this further in Part 4 of this presentation.
