The girl’s answer surprised me more than anything that had happened before. She

said that her palm was in a vice, which began to tighten, and she felt like her bones were
being flattened out and she began to cry from pain. I apologized to her for those
unpleasant moments that I had involuntarily caused and began to reflect about this
incident. The only reason for this could be that I created two forces—one pulled the
girl’s hand up, while the other pulled it down. The palm was be-tween two “elements”
and those forces began to squash it.

Unexpectedly I had seen the manifestation of the force of thought, which appeared
to be very real. Someone could object and say that simple hypnosis was observed here.
But first and foremost, what is hypnosis? Modern science only verifies this phenomenon
without understanding its nature. I will expound my understanding of hypnosis later and
for now return to my experiments.

What I applied in my first experiment was a combination of verbal and direct
influence upon the person. The words helped this person to enter quickly into the

necessary state, to be tuned-in to the event. They were only an auxiliary instrument, not
the main one. The latter can be confirmed by this: I did not even say to the girl that the
ball would begin to pull her arm down. I simply carried my hand downward, while her
arm continued to move up. In addition, I did not say that her palm was in a vice, which
began to squash it. What happened was a surprise for us both, for me, an even greater
one.

This effect is simply impossible, when hypnotising a human being. What happened
in the experiment: I created new influence, which made the girl’s hand move down,
without removing previous influence, which made the hand to move up. As a result the
girl’s palm appeared to be be-tween two “fires”.

It was quite a surprise for me that the force of thought had such real, material

manifestation. Although I understood that a similar display of the “force” was the most
effective evidence and the easiest for most people to understand, I personally considered
this method of proselytizing impermissible.

Regrettably, the understanding of the force, which has developed in our civilization,
is very primitive. If a human being writhes in pain, this means that he or she experiences
the manifestation of the “force”. If there is nothing of the kind, there is no manifestation
of the force. Is it really so, that a human being feels satisfied, only when what happened
to him is accompanied by pain or other unpleasant feelings?

Is it really so important to feel pain as a “proof” of the reality of the influence
instead of taking as proof the very fact that real problems vanish after the influence has
been applied, which is confirmed by real devices, and the person experiences no
unpleasant feelings?! I shall return to this philosophical, in a certain sense, problem later.
For now I will continue.

* * *
When I realized that the force of thought was real and could cause harm to people,
I became very careful with its use and excluded any negative side effects. Before I go
on, I would like to pay attention to the next (but not last) example of “fortuity” in my
life.
