∂ It's a weird idea, but we
wonder why it hasn't been tried
before. Jacob Apsel, of Milwaukee, Wis., has suggested a
"demonstration conference", in
which "a clear, an advanced
perceptionist, a prognosticator, a reader of unwritten histories, and a clairvoyant" be
invited to prove their claims
under test conditions in front
of an audience-jury. He thinks
anyone claiming or advertising
"super powers" should welcome
a chance to prove themselves.
In the past, Jacob contends,
such claims always have fallen
apart under test conditions.
He thinks Enid would be a perfect site for such a test -- and
we agree -- since a skeptical
audience-jury is practically
ready-made here. Of course, it
would only be fair to insist
that those who assert the Bible is true, and must be taken
literally, schedule their God
to perform some of His famous
miracles under the same test
conditions as the others. One
or two "weather makers" would
be an asset -- if they can and
will "do their stuff"- and maybe someone can anchor a large
flying saucer or space s h i p
nearby to be used as an auditorium. As you can see, the
possibilities are endless. And
could be funny. Such as an exorciser and a materializing
medium getting on the same
stage at the same time. Anyone
got some POSITIVE ideas?
∂ Since the April issue was
printed (if not put together
and mailed), The ABERREE staff
thought it safe to take an evening off and help launch the
New Age Center at Oklahoma City
last month. Which we did. No
champagne, but there was coffee ,
nor was it wasted by splashing
it over the bow of the newlylaunched organization, either.
Charles Rhoades, speaking to a
crowd of about 25 who'd come
for the launching, explained
the goals and purposes of the
corporation -- mainly to build a
"center" where people of like
minds could settle and meet
without skinning elbows against
scoffers who use textbooks for
their Bibles and the Bible for
a textbook. Arthur Burks was
supposed to lecture, but he belatedly discovered he'd been
booked for a lecture in Los
Angeles for that evening (odd,

f
how "seers" sometimes can't
see), so his place on the podium was filled by Dr. Byron
Gentry, who demonstrate, his
ability to diagnose at a distance of feet, or even miles,
if necessary... 1f And as if this
wasn't enough gadding for us
for one month, we again visited
the Center a couple weeks later
to hear Mrs. Ron Ormond of California tell of her husband's
projection experiences and of
his travels in the Far East in
a hunt for the physical site of
his projection... II This New
Age Center is a real live
group, and we see no reason why
Charles was worried -- as in last
month's ABERREE -- about what a
New Age Center "ought to think"
or do. They're doing it! Projected events for the Center
are Dr. Gilbert N. Holloway and
his wife June, who will be at
the Center April 22 to May 6
for lectures, class work, and
readings; and Daniel e, flying saucer "authority and editor of UNDERSTANDING magazine, who will spend the second
week of May in Oklahoma City,
lecturing and helping organize
some new Centers, if possible.
(Aside to Velva Joe Rhoades :
Last month's ABERREE cover was
OUR "baby", but if you wish to
claim it as the launching of
the New Age Center, we're not
selfish. We'll take the little
old lady down in the corner.)
∂ The desk was loaded with
work, and there were four jobs
ready for the press -- but it
was the first day of Spring and
we decided to play hooky for a
few minutes by spading up a
tomato bed. Suddenly, a tall
shadow crossed the freshly
turned earth. Guiltily, we
looked up to see who had slipped
up on us so quietly, and there
stood Lohren Applegate. Lohren,
whom we've known since early
Dianetic days, doesn't often
include Enid in his check-ups
on truck drivers to see that
they' re good insurance risks ,
but when he does, we're always
glad for a chance to stop work
(or even quit playing hooky)
for a little mental stimulation. Lohren's now living in
Wichita, and tells us he's on
the third rewrite of a novel.
Oddly -- or is it? -- Lohren's
chief protagonist comes up with
some ohilosonhies of life sim(PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 18)
