Sir,
General Stubblebine instructed each of us at the school to write a
report on the uses of the HEMISYNC process, and its uses at our work site.
I don't know whether this or any similar process is used in your work, but
thought you might like a complementary copy.
Also, I would like to request some information, if possible. I have
hooked my Atari up to work as a biofeedback machine, and have programmed it
to display a graph of the input on the top of the screen. On the bottom of
the screen is a field of color which changes according to changes in the
input. The program also produces following tones, and output to the printer,
for hard-copy documentation, if desired.
This, however, is just for basic training in the step I would like to
take. I hope to replace myself in the circuit with a simple resistor. Then,
using the same PK procedures as used for bending spoons, learn to affect its
resistance. After this has been learned, I hope to learn to affect the
components INSIDE the machine, itself. Any success, however slight, will
show up as immediate feedback. Once some accuracy is gained over control
of the currents within the machine, control will be gained over the information
stored or being processed there. From there, the possibilities are unlimited.

This project is the result of a discussion I had with General Stubblebine,
when he suggested that this would be a productive area.
So far, I am having pretty good success. However, I find that I am
beginning to need information. If there is any material which anyone there
could send me about the PK process, its affect on the electrical properties
within objects, etc., I would certainly appreciate it. Rather than reinvent
every step along the way, I would gladly listen to the guidance of others,
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,

PROPOSED USES FOR THE
HEMISYNC PROCESS
AT FIELD STATION AUGSBURG
1, Authority: This study was undertaken IAW verbal direction of Coraander, I[NSCOM, MG AWN.
Stubblebine, during attendance at the R.A.P.1. course for stress sanageaent, a
2. Purposes The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibilities for the creative use of
the hesisync process in providing a better and core productive warking and living environeent for FSA
personnel. Accoapanying each suggested use is a brief discussion of the advantages and = disadvantages
foreseen. Also included are alternate suggestions, when appropriate.
3. Definition: In short, the hesisyne process produces desired brain waves within the user's
brain. A person who needs to concentrate can quickly and easily place his/her sind into a deep state of
concentration. Other states such as rest, sleep, intensive learning, etc. can be quickly and easily
synthesized for the individual's particular needs. For a sore coaplete explanation of the process, see
Appendices A and B of this paper.
4, Security considerations: Ihis paper contains only those suggestions and/or
information which is not of a classified nature. It is therefore lisited in scope, but is seant only ta
give an overview of the possibilities for use of the hesisync process,
3. Sources: Both preliainary and detaied investigation involved extensive discussions with
supervisory and subordinate personnel in all sections of the Field Station, and at all levels of
supervision,
4 Historys A history of the Henisyne process and its relationshig to FSA is inluded as Appendix 8
of this paper.
1, Organizations Although benefits frog aission-crientad use and personal use closely affect
one another, analysis perforsed after all detailed investigation showed that the aaterial used for this
paper falls into 3 cain categories:
a. Mission-oriented uses. (page 2) These uses are toward the bettersent of the aission in areas of
training, study, and actual wort practices.
4. Personal uses. (page 5) These uses are not only oriented tonard aaking the individual a deter
soldier, but alsa toward helping his/her salve personal, relational and sarital probless, to aanage stress
and bring about personal isorovesent.
C. lapleaentation. (page 7) Methods are discussed concerning the actual physical, financial, tiae, and
other constraints placed on the iaplesentation of this orograa.

3. Daily work: Soth adeinistrative and aission sanagers have an averwheleing agount ot aaterial

5. CVassroom materials there are sany classes which could be recorded and then offered
to individuals who require the training at convenient tiaes. These tapes should have signals iapressed on
thes which would enhance the individual's concantration, retention, and recall.
&. Inter-personal relationships: Study of the Meyers-Briggs test results by
Sullivan’ has shown that personality types of FSA personnel, within an 0S, and even within a
‘Sectron, tend ane acre varied than with other ailitary locations. One of the arcbleas caused by this i
the difficulty of\ coamunication between individuals who wort together. Chaplain Sullivan feels that in

% Tower personnel: One of the aspects of assignaent to FSA for the 335 MOS is the
possibility of being assigned to one af the remote site facilities. Such an assignment entails living and
working without the noraal "hone coaforts* which the larger Acerican ailitary coaunities afford, For soee
of the personnel, this aeans feelings of estrangegent, loneliness, homesickness, etc. For a discussion of
uses in this situation, see Part III, Inglesentaion.

8. Hypnosis: Juring those tises when hypnosis is used (again for relaxation and concentration,
and with the approval of the person being coun: d), the heaisync process can be incorporated with
heightened effectiveness. i all legal and aedical aspects such
treataent aust gain careful consideration, and aust be closely controlled and documented. (See Part I,
Ingleaentation)
c. Group counseling: ihe use of tuning in to the hesisync tones as a group ac
can aid the individual's use of the process, and can “break the silence’, as a aeans of aalding the gru
into a unified whole before beginning other work.

who atten spend their tiae and hers coaplaining about conditions, Stairwell living in a farsign country is

The iaportance of this use is heightened by the Aray's insistance thet any overweight soldier
will not be allowed to stay in, Many of these saldiers are extremely good at their jobs, but are not in
contrat of their cwn personal ability to exercise and stay slia. The proper, trained use of specially
designed hesisync tapes for this purpose could keep many a good soldier in the service.

II. PERSONAL USES FOR THE
HEMISYNC PROCESS
AT FIELD STATION AUGSBURG
i, Many of the aission-oriented uses have already touched on the personal uses for hemisync tapes, siaply
because the personal and professional qualities of a soldier ara so closely interwoven. There are,
however, ather aspects of usage for the tapes which should be considered frca the standpoint of being
strictly a personal "bennie* for the individual.
2. Some af these uses will require the purchase of specially aade tapes, or of the standard tages produced
by the Monroe Institute. This cansideration is noted in the discussion of each.
3, Personal uses for the heeisync tapes include, but are not liaited to:
