Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-4His whole institution is one of counter-espionage. They know, as above, that Russia sendsagents into every valley and sector and studies the local languages. Why can’t this be done by others.But here again, unfortunately, there has been no response or slow response from American institutions,and one cannot write about intelligence and counter-espionage in letters requesting mutualrecognition. Actually outside of Columbia University, it is doubtful whether the culture of this partof the world is placed in the hands of Asian nationals. I had a long, successful running fight withPrinceton University. But why should there be a fight? Why can’t we learn Asiatics from Asians justas we learned Europeans cultures from Europe?Financial Assistance. The aforesaid University of Islamabad is oversubscribed. Instead of seekingfunds, it is offering, teachers’ positions to Americans—offer not seriously accepted yet, In thecase of the Pushtu Academy they would like some financial assistance but one cannot place beforeour universities the “counterespionage” features.Minor Report. Mary Army officers, not necessarily in Intelligence, but all members of someSufi (Dervish) Order, gave me details about Russian military and engineering assistance to Afghanistanand told me their methods of espionage. This is still useless (unless here) because of the nonrecognitionon our part.Extra-Sensory Phenomena: The University of Islamabad will have a department devoted tothis. Put so far not a single American organization has answered to inquiries for mutual exchange.What is worse there seem to be signs of federal moneys going to Rhine at Duke (who does notanswer, except once) and one Koharich who specializes (?) in mental telepathy. In a recent reportKoharich is said to have asked for funds to try experiments with Russia (or all peoples).Now the Dervishes use extra-sensory methods and they not only told me how, I have participatedin this type of communication.During the War I was in difficulty therefore and finally placed some matters before Col. Harriswhen he occupied the chief post in GII in Fort Mason. I have scattered among my effects somerecords in this regards, mostly disguised as “prophetic poetry.” If we are to put up moneys for suchextra-sensory research, why is Russia selected? and why don’t we even look into the possibility of“people who are on our side” having such faculties?This last subject could be discussed further, but it is useless until we look into the objectiveexistence of peoples and institutions who could, would and should be our friends. If any point isnot clear, would be glad to go into it. But I sincerely hope first some of your contacts will read, TheDervishes by the American, J. P. Brown.Sincerely,Samuel L. LewisP.S. Some pictures and details of my own position may follow.
