What I See When I Close My Eyes
Russel Targ, 1010 Harriet Street, Palo Alto, CA 94301
After two decades of parapsychological research, my purpose in writing
this essay is to encourage researchers who are interested in understanding
psychic phenomena to look for ways to have ESP experiences themselves.
In no other field do experienced and thoughtful researchers set up observational
experiments, and then ask inexperienced or randomly chosen passersby
to look through the microscope and report on what they see. I will describe
here some of the things that I have seen. I am a good visualizer. When
I close my eyes I usually see reasonably sharp and clear pictures. The
bad news is that the images that I see with my eyes open are not much
sharper or clearer, although they are much more stable. I would like
to share my thoughts about psi perceptions, from the point of view of
a legally blind researcher. What that means in my case is that my corrected
visual resolution is ten percent that of a person with normal vision.
