Reasoning that questions arising from his experiments would best be answered by those who were paid to know about the mind, Ron took these discoveries to the psychology department. Rather than answers, however, he found that the George Washington University psychologists had no comprehension or understanding of the results – but more importantly – they weren’t even interested in such things.
Stunned, he soon came to the realization that no one knew how the mind worked. And furthermore, no one in the fields of psychology or psychiatry was about to find out.
Not only were there no answers in the East, there were none to be found in any Western center of culture.
“To be very blunt,” he put it, “it was very obvious that I was dealing with and living in a culture which knew less about the mind than the lowest primitive tribe I had ever come in contact with. Knowing also that people in the East were not able to reach as deeply and predictably into the riddles of the mind as I had been led to expect, I knew I would have to do a lot of research.”
