Love Story: In The Web of Life by Ken Renshaw Page A

in using a
non-scientific approach. They set out to prove the claims wrong.
They only approach the investigations from the standpoint that it
is a hoax and ignores data that do not support their belief system
that it is a hoax.
    "In the film, we show interviews of a few
people who report their own psychic experiences.
    "The first interviews are with people who
inexplicably changed their routines and avoided accidents. We
inserted some clips of normal people perceiving some event in
future time, that we would call a premonition.
    "One is a businessman who refused to board an
airliner because of his visions of it crashing. The airliner did
crash on takeoff, and everyone was killed.
    "The second clip is a housewife who, for no
apparent reason, decided to pick her daughter up at school. The
school bus that her daughter would have ridden was hit by a drunk
driver, and several children were badly injured.
    "The third clip is of a farmer who related
that, on his way home from town, he decided to take an alternate
route that he never used, past a lake. As he arrived at the lake,
he saw a car with a woman and a child go off a bridge and plunge
into the water. He was able to save them.
    "Then, we have an extended clip of experiments
at SRI with people remote sensing targets in the Stanford area. I
believe you know about those experiments.
    "Many university laboratories have done
experiments with psychics and other people to test the ability to
perceive things in space-time. Little of that research is highly
valued in the academic community. Largely, these studies document,
and compile statistics about observable psychic phenomena. That is,
stuff that simply happens that has no scientific basis. UFO
sightings fall into the same general category of studies. If there
is no scientific basis, the subject can be ignored by the
scientific community at large. Conventional science is an ostrich,
hiding its head in a four–dimensional sand."
    "OK, "I replied, "I get the idea that the
theory of an eight-dimensional description of reality can be
formally demonstrated by mathematics, and in experiments. The idea
can be confusing to people without the mathematical training. I'll
have to take some time to assimilate all this."
    "I understand," said Candice, "This is quite a
bit for one lesson. This is probably enough for one
day."
    I agreed. I walked Candice out of the
conference room to the lobby to make sure she had her parking
validated.
    "Thank you so much, this has been
enlightening."
    "You might also like to spend some time with
Tom, my significant other. He has quite a good business in
counseling that involves space-time perceptions." She dug into her
purse for a second and then said, "Here is his card."
    "Thanks," I said, and she left.
    Carolyn cheerfully gave me her "I am available
after work" smile.

    After about five minutes in my office, Zaza
buzzed me.
    "Carolyn says your cutie is back in the lobby
and wants to talk to you."
    I hurried to the lobby and saw Candice with her
eyes opened even wider than before.
    "Someone was hanging around my car when I got
to the garage. Could you check it out for me? I think he was up to
something, because he quickly walked away when he saw me. He went
down the parking ramp instead of back into the lobby."
    I gestured to Carolyn, "Please call Mr. Steel
in building security. Tell him to meet us in the visitors parking
area."
    "Did you get a good look at him?"
    Candice replied, "Not very good-he was too far
away. I recall a white, male Caucasian, about five-five, stocky
build, grey crew cut, round gold rimmed glasses, wearing khaki
pants, and a white business shirt, no tie."
    "Sounds like a very good description," I
observed. "Dore said to report anything suspicious to her, so I
have been kind of paranoid.”
    "I'll get security to make a report, and I will
forward it to Dore if there is anything serious."
    We took the elevator to the lobby and started
to the door to the garage.
