6. The Remote Induction of Trances, Emotions, Specific Information, and Remote “Telepathy”
As work progressed on
the technologies of mind manipulation, it was soon discovered — via
techniques such as the establishment of “beat frequencies” in a
target brain or brains — that emotional states, including deep
hypnogogic states, could be remotely induced without actual
electrodes or implants having to be present in the brain itself.
This technique was called RHIC, or “Remote Hypnotic Intracerebral
Control.”160 The phenomenon was
first reported by L.L. Vasilev of the University of Leningrad in
the early 1930s.161 Thus, by producing
beat frequencies in synch with the alpha, beta, theta or delta
states of the brain’s natural functioning, the brain would
naturally entrain itself to that beat frequency, and experience the
corresponding emotional state. Thus, a subject could be made open
to the possibility of remote suggestion
by entraining a beat frequency in the theta cycle range and then
beaming “voices” and instructions to the subject, since the same technology could be used, as we
have seen, to induce a subject to hear actual “voices” in his
brain.162
There was yet another
possibility that emerged from all this as well, and that was remote
electromagnetic telepathy, or reading a
target’s mind or emotional states by “deciphering the brain’s
magnetic waves.” The project was under way since 1973 at the
Advanced Projects Research Agency (ARPA).163
