After an ophthalmologist pointed out that Wendy's lenses didn't quite cover the whole eye (after all, she's only a hybrid!) Ralph finally conceded that she was a fake, much to the relief of his wife. Yet he rented a hotel room for her in Berkeley and told researcher Lindemann she made him experience incredible orgasms even when she wasn't there, long blissful spasms. Fred is struck by the parallel I draw between the Wendy episode and Budd Hopkins' alleged abduction case involving “Linda Napolitano” in Manhattan.
A new journal called Syzygy contains an interesting article on the influence of Cagliostro on modern magical groups. The author, Massimo Introvigne, points out the links between Randolph's Brotherhood of Luxor (51), the OTO, and other adepts of the “wet way” of initiation centered on sex rituals that may have begun with the Indian, Iranian, or Gnostic movement.
The ranch is dark. This community remains in crisis, decimated by drug addiction. Ufology, too, is in turmoil: Keith Harary, at a symposium on abductions, was horrified at the abuses of hypnosis. He asked: “How can something so bizarre be so depressing?”
Fred Beckman tells me Ralph is recovering from his affair with the Wendy hybrid. The black Alien eyes, as I’d tried to tell them, were indeed contact lenses, probably obtained from the Narcissus research company that makes “designer eyes” for actors. What is curious is the involvement of a Ford Aerospace consultant. Wendy has multiple personalities and may be under this man’s control. Coincidentally, a number of “private investigators” have recently appeared in the UFO field. Fred thinks Wendy is simply a test subject in a government mind control experiment, part of what I call the “undercurrent.”
In the course of a review of a business plan about a new pharmaceutical company I found a need to call Kit for technical advice, after which we got on the subject of abductions, notably Hopkins’ Linda Napolitano case in Manhattan. He told me he was getting data from eight people connected with it. “It's highly polarized,” he said: “Half of them say it happened, but their descriptions point to delusional syndromes known in the literature. The other half are secret service people or police officers. They find the stories inconsistent. It's a mix of delusion and deception. The abduction as described by Hopkins never happened.”
Professor John Mack, whom I was meeting for the first time, is tall and gangly, in his early 60s. He walks with an uneven gait, one shoulder raised higher than the other. I found him sharp and intense, a classic east coast intellectual with easy access to the media and influential thinkers. He was accompanied by Pam, a smart assistant involved in his hypnotic regressions. All his UFO information comes from Hopkins and Jacobs. He seems to take it for granted that Space Aliens are routinely abducting his patients.
Fred Beckman wisely suggests that abductees studied under hypnosis should always be asked if they've ever been hypnotized before, and if ordinary human beings appeared on the scene. He is still intrigued by the Wendy case: she once appeared on a TV talk show as a multiple personality patient. Fred recognizes her as the woman who gave him a come-on at a local diner, uncrossing her legs and making eyes at him, then snapping his picture and running away. She recently tried to get Martin Cannon involved in the same way. She may be a recruit of some Federal black program, a pawn in the undercurrent.
