I thought my participation in Cleve’s lab would be over when he got tired of me -- and then I could concentrate on my art and efforts to become a writer. Chapter 8 THE REPEATABLE EXPERIMENT - SEPTEMBER, 1971 When I had recovered from the flu and was ready to begin working in Backster’s lab, the concepts of feedback and subliminal information processes were rattling around in my head. A synthesis of them had not yet been reached, of course. But when Backster and I began undertaking new experiments, I found myself trying to observe what was going on regarding subliminal perceptions and feedback. Which is to say, I began INTROSPECTING into the phenomena of my own mental awarenesses and processes. Introspecting is, in all cases, a type of meditation -- a focusing on internal activity whether of body or mind. With the new experiments set up, we tackled influencing metals and chemicals at a distance. I now have to start going a little technical because some scientists might chance to read this book -- and, in any event, there is now no other way to proceed.
