-
- Mind Control
- and the
- Indian Rope Trick
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- In the book, "Beyond Telepathy", Dr. Andrija Puharich recounts his
- experience with an Indian fakir. Also present at the event were a
- colleague and several hundred other witnesses.
-
- A rope is cast up into the air where it remains suspended yet with
- no visible means of support.
-
- A small boy goes up the rope followed by an apparently angry
- magician wielding a knife.
-
- Both magician and boy seem to vanish at the top of the rope. Screams
- are then heard, followed by a grisly rain of dismembered parts.
-
- The magician reappears at the top of the rope and climbs back down
- holding a bloody knife. He then places the bloody parts in a box,
- closes the lid and within moments the boy emerges smiling and whole
- with no apparent damage.
-
- In some performances, witnesses see a dog run off with an arm or
- leg which of course has to be recovered.
-
- Puharich and his colleague saw the magician collect the parts of the
- boy in a basket, go back up the rope and return with the boy whole.
-
- All during this spectacle, pictures were taken to record the
- phenomena. When the film was developed, the fakir and boy were seen
- to be standing impassively by the rope lying coiled on the floor.
-
- Puharich concludes that the
-
- "hallucination was telepathically inspired and extended to the
- several hundred people present."
-
- In 1934, the Rope trick was performed in London on two separate
- occasions. When the film from concealed cameras was developed, the
- rope was seen to remain lying on the ground while the boy sneaked
- off to hide in the bushes.
-
- Witnesses to the event were seeing scenes which did not actually
- occur in reality, but the mental projections of someone skilled in
- the art of either hypnosis or extreme concentration with the ability
-

-
-
-
-
-
- to telepathically project what they visualized.
-
- A variation on the Rope trick was witnessed in French West Africa by
- William Seabrook in 1930.
-
- "There were two living children close to me. I touched them with
- my hands. And equally close were the two men with their
- swords....iron, three-dimensional, metal, cold and hard. And
- this is what I now SAW with my eyes, but you will understand why
- I am reluctant to tell of it, and that I do not know what SEEING
- means.
-
- Each man, holding his sword stiffly upward with his left hand,
- tossed a child high in the air with his right, then caught it
- full upon the point.....No blood flowed....
-
- The crowd screamed now, falling to its knees. Many veiled their
- eyes with their hands, others fell prostrate. Through the crowd
- the jugglers marched, each bearing a child aloft, IMPALED UPON
- HIS SWORD...
-
- ...and disappeared into the witchdoctor's enclosure."
-
- Seabrook later saw and touched the children, who seemed completely
- undamaged by their ordeal. Few illusions can be so arrogantly
- paraded through a disbelieving crowd.

-
- Recent conversations with our friend Larry B. yielded an interesting
- story.
-
- Loosely told, our friend said he knew a hypnotist who went to India
- to study the fakirs and prove that neither mesmerism or hypnotism
- could be used to influence the actions or perceptions of another
- WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT or them being consciously aware of it.
-
- On docking, the hypnotist was wandering around the dock when he met
- a small, kindly Indian man. A discussion led to the purpose of the
- visit. The hypnotist was looking at the Indian and stating that he
- was absolutely certain the NO ONE COULD BE INFLUENCED against their
- knowledge or without being aware of it.
-
- As he spoke, a storm began to blow in. The clouds grew dark and
- ominous and the wind began to rage. People were being blown down
- and into the water while boats were tossed around as if made of
- balsa wood.
-
- The hypnotist grew rather alarmed at what was happening around him
- and on looking back at the Indian, he noticed a kindly smile.
- INSTANTLY, all signs of a storm disappeared to reveal a perfectly
- clear day as if NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AT ALL.
-
- Needless to say, the stunned hypnotist actively sought the
- instruction of this unusual Indian. Further exploits involved the
- introduction of the hypnotist to an Indian fakir.
-
- Discussions with the fakir came to the inevitable point of proof.
- At that time the hypnotist saw the man pick up a flower pot and dash
-

-
-
-
-
- it against the corner of the room where it broke in many pieces.
-
- The fakir then told the hypnotist that an illusion could best be
- broken or avoided by anything which focuses concentration. This
- could be a sensation such as pain, or intense concentration on
- something which you know, without doubt to be true.
-
- The hypnotist was told to select such a fact at which he chose
- 2+2=4. The fakir instructed him to continue to concentrate on that
- fact by repeating it over and over.
-
- As the hypnotist carried out these simple instructions, he looked
- over at the corner where the broken flower pot was lying.
-
- To his amazement, there was nothing there. On turning to the fakir,
- he saw the flower pot held in the fakir's hand as if it had never
- been thrown.
-
- He was confused momentarily which caused him to break concentration,
- As this occurred, the flower pot in the man's hand disappeared and
- reappeared broken in the corner just as it had been "thrown" in the
- beginning.
-
- On again focussing his concentration on 2+2=4, the flower pot was
- restored in the fakir's hand.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Another story involved the witnessing of the rope trick. The man
- observing the event was quite taken up in the unfolding drama when
- he suddenly felt a sharp sting at the base of his neck.
-
- When the sting occurred, he slapped at it and again looked toward
- the fakir and his assistant. To his amazement, the fakir and the
- boy were seen to be sitting quite still with the rope at their side.
-
- The crowd was collectively looking into the air as if the entire
- drama was continuing.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Much of the above is unverifiable, however, there seems to be some
- basic observations here which do follow the premises of MIND1, MIND2
- and other mind control information. We would be most interested in
- any information you might have on this subject.
