(On Sunday afternoon and evening we were visited by Andrija Puharich and Joyce Petschek. We had a most enjoyable time. Andrija recorded Jane, Seth, and Sumari—all of which saw Jane coming through at her best. He is to send us a copy of his tape. Tonight I asked that Seth at least comment upon the visit, since I had the feeling it marked a turning point for us as far as our attitudes went; about meeting others, etc.
(Incidentally, Andrija’s call came late Sunday morning as Jane and I were eating breakfast and reading the paper. Jane picked the phone up after the first ring. As the phone rang, I was tempted to say to her, “That’s going to be a very important call for you.” At once afterward I thought that such an event was quite unlikely on a Sunday morning. I told Jane about my “hunch” immediately after the call; hence, long before her very successful voicing of Seth, Sumari, etc. Later in the day. I was curious after the call to see how we’d react to the visit.
Now: your visitor (Andrija Puharich) is a good man—a scientist and a child; an actor of a sort, searching for wonders. The consciousness of the world is changing. Various people know it and participate in different ways. (Uri) Geller is important, because your civilization believes so in the integrity of physical matter. It confounds and outrages the conventional to see objects behave in a way they have been taught to believe is impossible.
While they were obviously noticeable, they were an unimportant issue in the visit—an important footnote in Andrija’s experience—but not a part of the main page or message, if you understand me.
[...] Certainly a connection with all of this is the call Jane received from Andrija Puharich a few days ago; he wanted her to see what she could get about physics; he’d been to a meeting of physicists at Princeton University, Wheeler’s home base; he’d given Jane the names of some well-known physicists who were interested in what psychics could get, but she hadn’t remembered any names.)
