I’m just starting into Duncan Laurie’s book on using Radionic technologies as a means to open one’s awareness to it’s levels of external influence. Or at least that is what I’m gathering it is about from what I’ve read so far. It reads like a 21st Century mix of Philip K. Dick and Carlos Casteneda as it dances on the pinhead of fact and flirtatious fiction.

Duncan Laurie is a breath of fresh air in the world of fringe technologies. I spend a considerable amount of time indulging myself in the world of the fanatical internet lunatic in hopes of finding, somewhere, some models of effective and compelling technologies of a less accessible nature than is immediately available (well truth be told I also really enjoy some of the peculiarities the human mind can drum up in the search for the novel). Usually I can over-satiate myself on the hillarious dingbats who busy their time fighting lizard people with their HMGs and their deep analysis of ‘mind control’ techniques. Rarely do you find someone not cripplingly knuckleheaded or seriously nuts, even more rare is it to discover a truly brilliant individual in these circles; let alone a genuine artist.

Duncan Laurie, in my estimations, is just that, a brilliant artist. He is a rare treasure and this book appears to be a fair reflection of just that.

Here’s a bit from the preface that may get you excited:

Consequently, much of the present book focuses on the ideas of John Norseen, an engineer and semiotitian employed for many years by the Lockheed Martin Co. and various U.S.
intelligence agencies. Norseen’s stated work was to explore the weaponization of the mind. As
such, we began our discussion from diametrically opposite directions, my background being fine
art. Our discussions provided me with a fascinating glimpse into military black box technology
and the mindset of its creators. Through Norseen I began to see how defense industry engineers
struggled to incorporate consciousness into practical design applications, how they went about
quantifying and systematizing an approach to mind physics generally considered impossible by
mainstream science.

My conversations with Norseen shifted the book’s focus more towards examining the
vulnerability of the mind to outside technical manipulation . It was the logical result of an extended
dialogue with a weapons designer. While I hoped his technical insights into mind technology
would enable me to make a better case for applying similar techniques to art, they also added a
surreal component to my investigation. Norseen’s world of semiotics became, in and of itself, a
fascinating literary digression. “

Enjoy!
