Cleve just laughed and gathered up the fluttered papers. He made me copies and said that I should take them home and read them. I was determined NEVER to read them. But curiosity got the better of me. I found the papers to be stimulating and exciting, somewhat begrudgingly so. In the end, I wrote Dr. H. E. Puthoff a letter dated 30 March 1972. And with that letter, the sucking-into circumstances of my life changed forevermore -although I hadn't the least idea that they would. All I wanted to achieve was a discussion about the velocity of psi signals. Instead, I got the involvements for the next seventeen years of my life. Chapter 28 MY FIRST LETTER TO DR. H. E. PUTHOFF - MARCH 1972 - This present book is probably the first and the last ever to be written by an "insider" who was strategic regarding the development of remote viewing. Other authors have taken an interest in the topic, and might continue to do so in the future. But all other authors have their egos, their viewpoints, their personal agendas, their different slants and attitudes.
