I made an accidental discovery this morning, since both the book When Prophecy Fails and Andrija Puharich came up in this thread.
Since the psychology team who wrote the book When Prophecy Fails were only interested in their studies in cognitive dissonance, they were not too interested in the woo-woo part of the channeling cult they infiltrated. All they were interested in was 'failed prophecy' and observing the psychological effects on the group members before, during and after the failed prophecy.
They used pseudonyms for the members of the cult in their book, to protect their identities, but there are other sources on the web that reveal their identities, and besides, it was quite a national spectacle in the US when it happened, so their identities are well known anyway.
Long story short, anyone familiar with the Ra material, would immediately have noticed in the book that the leader of the cult, a suburban housewife, was channeling a negative entity/entities, due to the imminent future doom that was prophesied, which of course never came true. The pseudonym used for her in the book was Marian Keech, but her real name was Dorothy Martin. There was another married couple prominent in the cult, who were true believers, and the pseudonyms used for them in the book were dr. and mrs. Armstrong.
So this morning I accidently stumbled onto this link while researching another author - http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/har...ortean.htm - which says that the married couple in the book, their real names being Charles and Lillian Laughead, met Andrija Puharich in Mexico, and subsequently maintained contact with him regarding their channeled material.
The information at this link is an extract from the book The Stargate Conspiracy by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, and pretty much confirms my suspicions about Puharich. Bad juju. Has anyone here read it?
From this link it's also clear that the entity/entities (Spectra) that Uri Geller was channeling was also negative, which was a question Don asked Ra back then.
