As stated in the book, Conjuring up Philip: An adventure in
psychokinesis, written by Iris M. Owen, in the introduction
written by her husband, Dr. A.R. George Owen, the “Group of 8’s”
initial goals were to first find out whether seemingly
interactive spirit communication could be produced in bright
light. Secondly, they wanted to know if a spirit medium was
necessary or if ordinary people could generate this phenomenon.
Third, if this force was produced by a disembodied spirit or was
caused by the experiment’s living participants. They also hoped
for what they thought would be their pinnacle of success: to
produce a collective hallucination of their imaginary friend
Philip, which everyone could document and witness. Unfortunately,
Philip never physically materialized, but amazingly their other
objectives did. However, one question remains, perhaps to be
answered by neuroscientists and metaphysicists of the future –
what exactly is this phenomenon, and what is its cause? If this
invisible psychokinetic force of “table-turning” is produced by
living human consciousness via quasi-involuntary action, as famed
scientist Michael Faraday was thinking, or the “ideo-motor
principle” put forth by Dr. William B. Carpenter, then just how
powerful are our brains and what else could be achieved? Or
perhaps Philip was more like the concept of a tulpa or, more
appropriately, to this situation, an egregore, and if so, does an
element of Philip still exist somewhere in the ether, and what
about the multitudes of manufactured entities throughout the
ages? Maybe there is straight-up spirit activity in the mix? Most
researchers who dabbled in this subject agreed that optimal
success requires a firm belief in the possibility, eager
anticipation of the interaction, and an unwavering expectation
that results would be forthcoming. Although the Philip Experiment
would eventually fade from scientific and public interest, there
is renewed interest in the age-old wisdom that with focused
intention combined with practice, the mind can create magic... or
at least someone to talk to.
