Subject: TELEPATHY.  We ALL have it.  Learn more...

	I'm going to talk for a while about something I've been working
quite a bit with.  It's something that I truly believe will change our
world in the most profound way, eventually.  And you'd be amazed by the
success I've had with it.  I imagine anyone who uses LSD regularly for the
purpose of expanding his/her mind and not just to escape has encountered
this phenomenon, although maybe you don't all realize it.  The wonderful
thing is, we all have this power.  It's just that we don't all know it.

	Our subconscious minds are capable of communicating with one
another, however our conscious minds don't accept that it's happening.  In
this society, we just don't trust our insincts enough.  When under the
influence of LSD, however, we are in direct contact with our subconscious,
and can very easily accept telepathic communications from those around us.
 It's an interesting thing... When communicating in this mode, no words
are involved -- that's a very conscious, very limited mode of
communication.  When using this "telepathy", we can communicate ideas,
feelings, emotions, experiences...you name it.  It's almost as if our
subconscious occupies a mind-space that extends beyond out physical body
(and which may, for that matter not be limited by physical space at all),
and at times, the mind-space of one person can overlap with that of
another.

	In practice, I have found that the easiest way to accomplish this
is to be with someone you know very well.  So far, I have only been able
to do it while on LSD.  I've done it with eight people so far, but I have
one friend in particular with whom I can communicate very effectively
because we have known each other for 18 years.  My basic method is to sit
with that person and look directly into their eyes (you can do this while
involved in a normal conversation too -- in fact, as I'll explain in a
moment, it works best when used in combination with our normal mode of
communication).  It's definitely the eyes that are a key.  They reinforce
the communication by acting as a confirmation of receipt (like in
asynchronous communications, for all those computer guys out there).  As
you're sitting there, with your friend or lover or whatever, try to
concentrate on everything that you know about that person.  Every tiny
detail.  Every quality.  Every experience you've ever had with that
person.  With luck, after a few moments, you will "find" a point where
your thoughts meet.  How will you know?  Believe me -- you will.  The
important thing to remember, is that this mode of communication does not
rely on words at all.  If you sit there trying to "talk" to the other
person, you'll never get anywhere.  Now here's a key element -- one that
took me a while to figure out.  The goal is not to "activate" this
communication with the subconscious mind -- that's something we all do,
everyday.  The key is knowing that you're doing it, and trusting in that
fact.  When two people are tripping together, this is pretty easy. At
least in my case, when practicing with my friend, we don't seem to need
much reenforcement at all.  Most people, however, will need some type of 
acknowledgement that it is actually working.  I have had some amazing
"conversations" this way.  For example, I have caused a reaction from an
entire room full of people.  I tuned into all of them at once and
explained to them, although not with words, "Yes, it's really happening --
no, you're not going nuts."  And I sensed them feeling things like, "No,
that's impossible", so I responded, "Yeah -- it really is possible,"
again, without actually using words (I know that's a hard thing to
comrehend, but if you really have no clue of what I mean, you
might want to start with some self-hypnosis or meditation).  By the time I
had "answered" their disbelief a few times, they all turned to me at once
(note this is after a few minutes of complete silence and I had never even
brought up this concept with them before) and they said  (out loud, in
words) "Man, how the hell are you doing that??!!!  That must be so weird
for you to be able to do
that!"  A verbal response to telapathic communication -- the ultimate
reassurance that this is a very real phenomenon.

	I have since taken the technique further.  I mean, after all, what
good is this in the real world if both parties have to be tripping.  Well,
here's the key:  As I mentioned before, everyone can communicate like this
with their subconscious mind, even when they're completely sober. The
problem is, our society has pushed us so far from our subconscious...it
has conditioned us with labels and categorizations for everything.  Read
something about Taoism to find out exactly what I'm talking about  (I
recommend The Tao of Pooh as a start).  Because of this, even though we
all communicate through the subconscious every day, most people don't
believe (or even know) that it's happening.  When you carry on a
conversation with someone, there is a lot of interaction that goes on
there.  It really does go beyond words.  I think we all know that much.  I
mean, when you're talking to someone, you're constantly trying to figure
out, "What is this guy feeling?" or "Does he agree with what I'm saying?"
and a thousand other questions like those. Well, we answer each of these
questions with an intuitive guess, and that guess controls the direction
in which that conversation travels.  Where does this guess come from? 
Well, it comes from a lot of places.  Yes, one of these places is the
subconscious.  We do know what that other person is thinking.  But we
don't trust in that.  Because a thousand other things that society has
piled into our brains overrides that.  A thousand meaningless and abstract
thoughts and preconditions like "rich people are somehow better that poor
people" or "older people are more knowledgable that young people"...the
list goes on and on...everything we've ever absorbed, ever learned plays
into a conversation somehow.  The thing to do is to see past all that. 
Look beyond what we've been taught to see.  Most of it is WRONG.  I find
that I spend most of my time unlearning everything I've ever been taught. 

	Now there's still one problem... The person you're talking to
still doesn't believe or realize that you are communicating
subconsciously.  Well, you're job is to make them aware of it.  Now, if
you say to a person, "I know what you were just thinking and the answer is
_____,"  well, obviously that person will say you're nuts and that they
weren't thinking that at all.  And chances are, they don't even realize
that they were thinking it to begin with. The idea is to respond very
subtly and repeatedly to what's going on in their subconcious mind.  This
isn't very easy.  You need to be able to carry on a normal conversation
(conscious, verbal communication), while at the same time, staying very
much in touch with your subconscious and what you are sensing from the
other person's subconscious.  While speaking to this person, any time you
sense a question, or an idea from him/her, reply with a sublte response
that acknowledges that you received that subconscious communication.  An
"uh-huh" or a smile or a sympathetic look -- whatever it takes. They key
is to find something that doesn't really fit into the conversation so that
the person will start to realize that some of your actions and responses
are not relating to what is being said but actually relate to what he/she
is thinking.  With repeated acknowledgements or mannerisms, that person
will begin to realize, albeit not fully consciously, that you are
responding to things that he/she has not yet verbalized.  After doing this
for a while, I have seen a look of complete fear come over a person I was
talking to, as they realize what it is that I'm doing.  

	This can be a very dangerous force when used inappropriately.  It
is the ultimate form of control.  Watch the movie, The  doors, and notice
how Jim Morrison uses this technique when he talks to people (especially
girls).  At this point, I imagine that most people who have never
experienced LSD will not believe that this is possible, because they have
never really been fully in touch with their subconscious mind.  I can
assure you it is very possible and very real.  Not everyone will learn
this technique, but those that do will find that, with it, you can do
almost anything.  I am still very new to this and do not in any way claim
to be an expert.  I have much to learn and would appreciate any comments
or experiences you have to offer relating to this phenomenon.  I'm sure
that once I have been able to study it enough, I will someday write a book
detailing what I have learned, so any responses would be greatly
appreciated.  Let me just add that I think it's a terrible thing that
society has closed our minds so much that we need a drug like LSD to allow
our minds to think freely enough to accomplish this.  However, I think
that's something we can evolve beyond.  A return to innocence.  A step
closer to the universal mind.
