Working The Candle

I was in attendance of a class being taught by Mr. Guy Savelli at the Mentor Olympic Club, being held from four till five in the afternoon. We (myself and the other students) were being taught to meditate. The class was in a room about 15' by 30'. All of us, including Mr. Savelli, were kneeling at one end of the room . At the other end of the room (lengthwise) was a large candle (the candle being about 2 and 1/2 inches in diameter and 3 feet in length) which in a large brass holder. The candle was lit, and a recording of subdued jazz was turned on, and the lights turned off. Mr. Savelli then instructed the class to bring their vision in on the candle.

As I started to concentrate my vision on the candle, the flame was about 3 inches in height. As my vision centered in on the flame, in a circle of about 12 inches in diameter, I noticed the flame beginning to die very slowly. It did not flicker, but rather grew smaller and smaller. This continued until the flame itself was no longer visible, just a dull orange glow. The top of the candle was also a dull orange in color. The flame remained this way for several minutes, then returned to its original size. Mr. Savelli then asked that the lights be turned on.

In the next class period, much the same happened, except as the flame grew smaller, there was a disturbance created by someone using some of the Club's other facilities. When Mr. Savelli turned his attention to the cause of the disturbance, the flame immediately returned to its original size and color.

I personally lit the candle before the second class, and also took it down when classes were over, and the candle was not burned down in the center, and appeared normal otherwise, being (as mentioned before) a large white taper type candle and 2 and 1/2 inches by 3 feet. Feel free to contact me concerning any questions I may be able to answer.

Simultaneously Affecting the Minds of Multiple People

The following is my account of what occurred at Fritz Klein's house.

Upon going downstairs for a "touch sensitivity" talk we arranged ourselves along an imaginary line a few feet away from the wall. The wall was white and without any disruptive fixtures, a plain flat white wall. We stood in this line and attempted to follow the indications as Guy Savelli directed us.

The talk was almost verbatim out of the touch sensitivity section of the book. As we got to the part where you are imagining yourself in your room listening for the next sound - the footstep - but your heart is pounding so loud you can't hear "and you want it to just stop---," Guy struck his chest.

At this point J. collapsed to the floor and a few other events occurred simultaneously. First my own state was quite intense. My vision was beginning to tunnel and I could feel my body settle quickly into my feet. It was not as if I was going to faint but rather the contrary, what I would call an arousal. A few moments after this Peter Klein who was standing at my left virtually shot forward toward the wall (we were all staring at it). I could perceive movement further down the line simultaneous to this. I would say what I "saw" was an impulse running through the entire line and it looked like Chris Klein also shot forward while J. was already well on her way to the floor. The impulse was quite intense, very sharp and was gone in a matter of seconds. At which point, the indications having been stopped the focus of the group turned to what had just occurred, while Guy and Fritz helped J. regain her consciousness as by this time she was really passed out. When she came around she expressed she didn't know what was happening and what had happened.

I had turned and put my hand on Peter's shoulder. He was very excited and said, in exchange with something Fritz had said to J. about being hypnotized, "Yeah when you (meaning Guy) said the wall was coming nearer." A few moments later Chris said something to the same effect - again saying that "when you (Guy) said 'the wall is moving toward you.'" A few moments later Fritz said virtually the same thing.

It is my firm conviction that Guy never said this audibly. I know he didn't. It's just not part of the indications.
I started to say something but stopped out of respect for J. and also in effort to restore a calm to the situation. We then went upstairs to continue our evening.

In summary I would say that there was an impulse of Energy (of very noteworthy magnitude) which arrived perhaps a few moments after J. had started to pass out and was felt in different ways by each different person. Also noteworthy is the family group interaction. All three, Fritz, Peter, and Chris had the same reaction, and heard the same indication which I swear was not audibly given.
