SAJ3 contributor and pal parapsychologist Dr David Luke has been declared Graham Hancock’s author of the month at his web site, thanks to this article.
I woke up this morning with a psychic advert left lingering in my dreaming mind. It was some kind of oneiric flyer for a new type of yoga, it even had a telephone number on it to call. This fanciful hypnopompic intrusion brought me back to the idea that if science can identify techniques for reliably producing psychic abilities (termed ‘psi’) then PR executives will soon be pumping millions into pumping adverts directly into our minds. Forget the television, tube trains and pub toilets, we’ll have adverts (or perhaps ‘psiverts’) sneaking rudely into our subconscious and marauding around our dreamscapes at all times of night and day. We won’t even have to open our ears or eyes to be lured in by the latest product we probably don’t need.
Dave is also currently programming a monthly series of talks at London’s October Gallery. Full details here.
