Dr. Richard Alan Miller
Physicist and Author

Dr. Krippner has been the most supportive person in my life regarding my work in physics and the discoveries I made in that field, which often changed the direction of research in numerous areas of study. This began in 1970, when I was first invited to New York City to deliver my technical paper, “The Physical Mechanisms of Kirlian Photography.” It was later published in Energies of Consciousness, a book edited by Dr. Krippner, and read by one of my senior-year undergraduate professors at Washington State University, Dr. Bender. Two years later, Dr. Bender built the first MRI in Pullman, Washington, based on my discovery that the so-called “aura” was a “secondary emission of electrons.”

It was also during this period that Dr. Krippner introduced me to Ed Mitchell, enabling me to be at Mission Control in 1971 as part of NASA’s ESP studies. This later led me to develop “ESP Induction Through Forms of Self-Hypnosis,” one of eight protocols I provided to the Navy SEAL program, turning them into “Supermen”—or what are now called “Super Soldiers.” These protocols are included in my book Power Tools for the 21st Century (2013). Duke University challenged this model in 1979, using Jean Dickson, Sybil Leek, and the leading psychics of the time. I won that contest by three orders of magnitude, validating my ESP model, in which an altered state of consciousness can be used as a tool. That model is now used within the current SEAL program.

Dr. Krippner later published my second work, “A Holographic Concept of Reality,” written in 1972, in another book he edited, Psychoenergetic Systems. This paper opened the door to numerous opportunities, leading me to work first with SEAL Corporation in Amherst and then with Dr. Carl Schleicher as Northwest Regional Director of Mankind Research Unlimited, working in the field of paranormal studies. This allowed me to discover that some occult—or “hidden”—and paranormal—or “unexplained”—phenomena could and should be brought into the field of physics for study rather than dismissed for the usual, more traditional reasons.

Whenever I encountered something normally considered verboten, or “forbidden,” Dr. Krippner encouraged me to expand my ways of looking at it. He gave me the confidence to question traditional thought and make breakthroughs in the traditional sciences. As a result, my interests expanded far beyond the normal areas of expertise. He helped me become more than just a physicist.

Over the years, as my interests and directions changed, he always supported me, making me feel that who I was—and who I was becoming—mattered. As a result, I am now considered a “world authority” in three fields: physics and metaphysics, alternative agriculture, and magick and the occult. Even today, after 56 years, I still find him responding generously to my questions, concerns, and doubts. That is how I would define a mentor.

I am now 82 and have more than 16 books in print, a nine-volume Encyclopedia of Alternative Agriculture, a 15-volume set of audiobooks on metaphysics, and more than 20 e-books currently available. I also have another 147 unfinished manuscripts. These include The SEAL Reports; The Marshall Papers, concerning my work with Buckminster Fuller; Spook Central, concerning my work with Dr. Carl Schleicher; and a new 15-volume Encyclopedia on Crop Selections, consisting of 360 PDFs.

One of my current books, The Non-Local Mind in a Holographic Universe, from the Toward the Evolution of Man series (©1973, 2017, 2021), is dedicated to Dr. Stanley Krippner. Another book, due out this year, is titled The Magical & Ritual Use of Metaphors: Archetypal Gods in Daily Living. This book on the Tarot is not about fortune-telling, but about identifying the archetypes involved in making each individual unique. It proposes that there are 22 stories within humankind and provides tools for “changing the movie”—or changing one’s personality.
