Thoughts Through Space: A Remarkable Adventure in the Realm of Mind (Studies in Consciousness)

By Hubert Wilkins, Harold M. Sherman, Sir Hubert Wilkins and Harold M. Sherman

Thoughts Through Space had its origin in a daring plan conceived by two courageous men. It began in Autumn 1937 when a group of Russian flyers on a trans-polar flight crashed on a shelf of ice on the Alaskan side of the Pole. To find and rescue them--if they were still alive--the Russian government commissioned Arctic explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins to organize and lead an aerial search in those desolate regions.

While in New York, prior to his departure, Sir Hubert met Harold Sherman, a student of mental powers who had long been intrigued by telepathy, the phenomenon of mind-to-mind communication. Seeing an unusual opportunity to put telepathy to a scientific test, Sherman and Wilkins decided to collaborate on a six-month experiment. It was agreed between them that Wilkins, once his expedition was underway, would try to transmit thought messages at prearranged times directly to Sherman in New York. Both men would keep written records of each session, Wilkins noting down his thoughts as "sender," and Sherman recording his mental impressions in his role as "receiver."

This account re-creates all the absorbing drama and adventure of the experiment as the participants lived it. With Wilkins you fly in a small plane over the roof of the world, scanning the moonlit landscape for lost fliers, your mind filled with worried thoughts of weather conditions, radio contacts, fuel supplies, and countless other perils while straining to send your thoughts across space to the waiting mind of Harold Sherman. With Sherman, you will sit in a darkened room in New York with sights and sounds flooding into your awareness. And you will read of the remarkable successful results when the two men finally compared notes, proving that the thought--messages were indeed sent and received across 3,400 miles. Sherman's years of study convinced him that his telepathy is a common human ability, and that we can all learn to use it.

Pioneers

Harold Sherman was a researcher on the subject of ESP, and has written many books in his writing career. He earned his living by writing many football books for kids up to around 1950s. In the meantime, he was using himself as an experiment to research on ESP and power of mind. He was not born with any unusual psychic abilities, yet with practice and research, he was able to tune his mind to read people's thoughts. I know a friend who knew Sherman in his later years, and said that Sherman could read people's thoughts, make coincidences happen, and several other ESP abilties. Sherman believed that ESP is something we all have, and that with practice we can use it more often in our life. This book was written in the 1930s, after Sherman did a pioneering long-distance telepathy experiment with Sir Hubert Wilkins. Wilkins went to the North Pole to search for missing Russian pilots, while Sherman stayed in New York. Sherman will daily receive thoughts about Wilkin's feelings, thoughts and conditions, and write them on paper. The reports were submitted to several testifiers of the experiement so that the reports cannot be changed once submitted. There were no telephones, and when Wilkins returned to USA to show his report and diary, an amazing 80% of Sherman's 'readings' of Wilkins adventure was accurate! This was such big news then that it was published in newspapers in those days. Sherman has good techniques to help you train your mind to do this. And with practice, it gets easier and better. If you are interested, also get his book "You Can Make ESP Work For You", which describes his lifetime of adventures with ESP, which saved his life many times. Also recommended is Ernest Holmes' "Science Of Mind". It was Sherman who opened up my mind about such powers within our mind, and Ernest Holmes' Science of Mind further strengthens the practice and theories. The difference between Sherman and Holmes is that Sherman believed in minds, while Holmes theory of One Mind which is everywhere at all times(what people call God) really explains how it works.
