ESP Laboratory of Texas
Not a laboratory for research in the scientific sense of the
term, but a mystical organization founded as the ESP Laboratory
by Alcie Gwyn Manning in Los Angeles, California, in 1966.
With the help of a spirit guide, Professor Reinhardt, Manning
wrote his initial book. He also became a minister of Spiritual
Science and opened a church. He developed a program of
psychic development designed to bring success, prosperity,
and healing.
In 1970 Manning introduced a course on the I Ching and
the following year one on white magic and witchcraft. His practical
approach was emphasized in a new book, Helping Yourself
with White Witchcraft (1972). In the early 1980s Manning moved
the laboratory to Texas. He also made a most endearing and
original contribution to contemporary mythology with the felicitously
named Gronkydoddles, a race of invisible pixies helpful
to the human race. Address ESP Laboratory of Texas, Box
216, 219 S. Ridge Dr., Edgewood, TX 75117.
