Mind Control
and the
Indian Rope Trick
——————————————————————–
In the book, “Beyond Telepathy”, Dr. Andrija Puharich recounts his
experience with an Indian fakir. Also present at the event were a
colleague and several hundred other witnesses.
A rope is cast up into the air where it remains suspended yet with
no visible means of support.
A small boy goes up the rope followed by an apparently angry
magician wielding a knife.
Both magician and boy seem to vanish at the top of the rope. Screams
are then heard, followed by a grisly rain of dismembered parts.
The magician reappears at the top of the rope and climbs back down
holding a bloody knife. He then places the bloody parts in a box,
closes the lid and within moments the boy emerges smiling and whole
with no apparent damage.
In some performances, witnesses see a dog run off with an arm or
leg which of course has to be recovered.
Puharich and his colleague saw the magician collect the parts of the
boy in a basket, go back up the rope and return with the boy whole.
All during this spectacle, pictures were taken to record the
phenomena. When the film was developed, the fakir and boy were seen
to be standing impassively by the rope lying coiled on the floor.
Puharich concludes that the
“hallucination was telepathically inspired and extended to the
several hundred people present.”
In 1934, the Rope trick was performed in London on two separate
occasions. When the film from concealed cameras was developed, the
rope was seen to remain lying on the ground while the boy sneaked
off to hide in the bushes.
Witnesses to the event were seeing scenes which did not actually
occur in reality, but the mental projections of someone skilled in
the art of either hypnosis or extreme concentration with the ability
Page 1
to telepathically project what they visualized.
A variation on the Rope trick was witnessed in French West Africa by
William Seabrook in 1930.
“There were two living children close to me. I touched them with
my hands. And equally close were the two men with their
swords….iron, three-dimensional, metal, cold and hard. And
this is what I now SAW with my eyes, but you will understand why
I am reluctant to tell of it, and that I do not know what SEEING
means.
Each man, holding his sword stiffly upward with his left hand,
tossed a child high in the air with his right, then caught it
full upon the point…..No blood flowed….
The crowd screamed now, falling to its knees. Many veiled their
eyes with their hands, others fell prostrate. Through the crowd
the jugglers marched, each bearing a child aloft, IMPALED UPON
HIS SWORD…
…and disappeared into the witchdoctor’s enclosure.”
Seabrook later saw and touched the children, who seemed completely
undamaged by their ordeal. Few illusions can be so arrogantly
paraded through a disbelieving crowd.

Recent conversations with our friend Larry B. yielded an interesting
story.
Loosely told, our friend said he knew a hypnotist who went to India
to study the fakirs and prove that neither mesmerism or hypnotism
could be used to influence the actions or perceptions of another
WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT or them being consciously aware of it.
On docking, the hypnotist was wandering around the dock when he met
a small, kindly Indian man. A discussion led to the purpose of the
visit. The hypnotist was looking at the Indian and stating that he
was absolutely certain the NO ONE COULD BE INFLUENCED against their
knowledge or without being aware of it.
As he spoke, a storm began to blow in. The clouds grew dark and
ominous and the wind began to rage. People were being blown down
and into the water while boats were tossed around as if made of
balsa wood.
The hypnotist grew rather alarmed at what was happening around him
and on looking back at the Indian, he noticed a kindly smile.
INSTANTLY, all signs of a storm disappeared to reveal a perfectly
clear day as if NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AT ALL.
Needless to say, the stunned hypnotist actively sought the
instruction of this unusual Indian. Further exploits involved the
introduction of the hypnotist to an Indian fakir.
Discussions with the fakir came to the inevitable point of proof.
At that time the hypnotist saw the man pick up a flower pot and dash
Page 2
it against the corner of the room where it broke in many pieces.
The fakir then told the hypnotist that an illusion could best be
broken or avoided by anything which focuses concentration. This
could be a sensation such as pain, or intense concentration on
something which you know, without doubt to be true.
The hypnotist was told to select such a fact at which he chose
2+2=4. The fakir instructed him to continue to concentrate on that
fact by repeating it over and over.
As the hypnotist carried out these simple instructions, he looked
over at the corner where the broken flower pot was lying.
To his amazement, there was nothing there. On turning to the fakir,
he saw the flower pot held in the fakir’s hand as if it had never
been thrown.
He was confused momentarily which caused him to break concentration,
As this occurred, the flower pot in the man’s hand disappeared and
reappeared broken in the corner just as it had been “thrown” in the
beginning.
On again focussing his concentration on 2+2=4, the flower pot was
restored in the fakir’s hand.

Another story involved the witnessing of the rope trick. The man
observing the event was quite taken up in the unfolding drama when
he suddenly felt a sharp sting at the base of his neck.
When the sting occurred, he slapped at it and again looked toward
the fakir and his assistant. To his amazement, the fakir and the
boy were seen to be sitting quite still with the rope at their side.
The crowd was collectively looking into the air as if the entire
drama was continuing.

Much of the above is unverifiable, however, there seems to be some
basic observations here which do follow the premises of MIND1, MIND2
and other mind control information. We would be most interested in
any information you might have on this subject.
