My Library

But a time was pre-arranged when Mr. Sherman in New York would attempt to view the explorer at the Pole, and try to describe where Wilkins was and what was going on around him. LORD ABOVE, if one substituted "spying" for "describe" -- well, one would have longdistance spying -- e.g. long-distance spying by "remote-viewing." I was FURIOUS, FURIOUS, FURIOUS. At the ASPR, Osis, Mitchell and I had been dealt all that bullshit about out-of-body viewing and the two kinds of remote-viewing experiments, with those turds on the publishing committee proclaiming that they were off the wall. Yet, the Wilkins-Sherman experiments had been monitored by Dr. Gardner Murphy, several times the president of the ASPR, and while he lived surely one of the greatest figureheads parapsychology has ever had. Immediately on my return to New York, I briefed Janet and she and I went into the ASPR library to see if the book was there. There was an index card for it with two notations on it: "missing" and "disposed." "Well," I giggled, "what do you think?" Janet thought they had gotten rid of it. So I telephoned Weiser’s Occult Book Store to see if they had a second hand copy of it. They did. I went immediately to buy it. When I had it in hand, I found it was stamped "Circulating, American Society for Psychical Research." "Where did you get this book?" I asked. "It belongs to the ASPR."
