The Long, Strange Relationship Between Psychedelics and Telepathy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s impossible to tell the story of psychedelics without telepathy. How will these experiences fit into psychedelics’ mainstream, medical future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February of 1971, approximately 2,000 attendees at six Grateful Dead concerts at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York saw this message projected onto a large screen at 11:30 PM: \u201cYOU ARE ABOUT TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ESP EXPERIMENT.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a test to see if people could use extra-sensory perception, or ESP, to telepathically transmit randomly chosen images to two \u201cpsychic sensitive\u201d people, Malcolm Bessent and Felicia Parise, who were sleeping 45 miles away. Bessent was at the Maimonides Dream Laboratory in Brooklyn, while Parise slept in her apartment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art prints, selected at random, were projected at the Dead show, like The Castle of the Pyrenees<\/em> and Philosophy in the Boudoir<\/em> by Ren\u00e9 Magritte, or a visual representation of spinal chakras. Bessent and Parise described their dreams to two evaluators, an art therapy student and a divinity student, who then judged them based on their similarities to the images shown at the concert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grateful Dead were chosen because the members of the band agreed to facilitate such an experiment, but also because those who conducted the study had determined that the audience would be especially primed for telepathic abilities, in part because of the state of mind they assumed the audience would be in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a paper summarizing the project, the authors wrote, \u201cIt was apparent to observers at the concert that the majority of the people in the audience were in states of consciousness that had been dramatically altered\u2026these altered states of consciousness were brought about by the music, by the ingestion of psychedelic drugs before the concerts started, and by contact with other members of the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
