           he looked at me in surprise and said: “Young man, if it is so, con-sider the Nobel Prize

           to be in your pocket!”

                The intonation of his voice gave me to understand that he thought that, being a
           young scientist, I was cheated by some impostor who I had reason to trust. For very clear
           reasons, I kept from persuading him to change his mind. I could not manage to talk with
           Professor Godik for long, be-cause the delegation appeared. He excused himself and
           asked one of the employees to show me the laboratory and equipment, and to tell me
           about the results of their researches. I am very grateful him for this.

                A senior staff scientist, whose name I cannot remember, told me about the work of
           the  laboratory  and  about  the  experiments  conducted.  They  explored  the  weak
           luminescence of the human body, radiations of the electromagnetic field, etc. At the
           same time they did not quite understand what they looked for and explored. In other
           words, they conducted a blind search, in the way they understood the task, but they did
           not understand it at all.

                When I mentioned that in my experiments an extrasensory individual could see
           human  internal  organs  in  colour  and  volume,  and  control  and  tune  his  vision  as
           necessary, and get concrete information about the state of different organs and the person

           as a whole: that this information coincided fully and often anticipated the information
           that doctors got with the help of the most sophisticated devices, this man looked at me
           with pity and asked:

                — Young man, how long have you been engaged in physics? When I answered

           his question, he told me with dignity:

                — Well, when you have worked as many years as I have, you will not trust this
           nonsense that the subjects tell you. You know, to see internal organs, a man must emit
           X-rays of the most enormous power, which is simply impossible!

                He  would  not  even  consider  that  there  could  be  other  methods  of  receiving
           information,  which  accompanied  absolutely  new  abilities  for  man.  He  barred  this
           possibility and thought only within the limits of his usual concepts.


                                                         * * *
                When I understood the level of narrow-mindedness of these peoples’ concepts,
           good people, but absolutely blind in regard to science, I thought again that I had chosen
           the  correct  tactics  when  I  said  that  I  explored  the  extrasensory  influence  only  as  a
           scientist. This “story” allowed me to get maximum information without drawing their
           attention to the information concerning the possibility or impossibility of internal vision

           and distant influence, let alone the possibility of displacement into the past or future, etc.

                As I had supposed, it turned out that this laboratory had no picture at all of the
           nature of extra-sensory phenomena, or even physics, but just another scientific profanity,
           which hid a woeful ignorance of both, behind pseudo-scientific terms. Certainly, I was
           upset to find out about this state of affairs, which convinced me even more—I had to
           continue my researches without expecting either support, or help, from official science.
           And I continued my lone “sailing” through the ocean of the unexplored.

                I understood that I could rely only on myself and that orthodox science would
           hardly accept my discoveries, if any, with open arms. Most likely so-called “science”
