Elementary Psionics

This is a redoing of Psionics 101, which lasted one edition and then was reissued

as Psychic Power by Llewellyn. What most folks who read my stuff forget is that

the material in the original book is now almost 20 years old and so a whole bunch

of it became obsolete with time.

In 1981, Fate Magazine published an article by Joseph Goodavage entitled “The

Conspiracy Against Psionics” which implied that the “powers that be” had worked

to suppress the study of this stuff and when I read that article the proverbial light

bulb went off and I started to work in earnest on a project that had been sort of

sitting in my office, a book on basic radionics and psionics, something I had been

working with for several years.

It took a few more years to get the book done because no sooner would I write a

chapter then I would come with something new and the chapter had to be thrown

out, which was a real pain considering I was writing it on a manual typewriter (no

word processors in them days! Even if you had one, the printers that were

available weren’t very good and publishers would not accept manuscripts done

on them). Finally, in 1984, I sat down and wrote and finished the manuscript in

what was pretty much its final form in early 1985.
