After a brief discussion, the writer ran all bands on a slow
induction with apparently complete success. At the conclusion
of the induction process and before awakening all hands, the
writer gave a simple PH that each indididual at whom the writer
pointed his right hand would pass without further instruction
Into a deep H sleep. Thereafter, the writer using the above
PH paased pointed at each subject in turn and they passed into
a deep H trance state. During each subject's test, a simple
PH or creation of hallucination or catalepsy was tried with
mixed success. Some subjects responded, other did not respond
to the direct suggest but responded to other suggestions.
� Sines the writer was the only person present at this
session, work was concluded at about 8:30 to enable the
writer to take all present home.
