Letters to Cleve Backster
Cleve receives mail from all over the world, from all ages and types of people. Even though his wish is to see "the scientific community" come to embrace the existence of Primary Perception, his vision for the information to be all over the world is fulfilled. Here is a recent letter from someone who was introduced to Primary Perception back in the 60s.

Dear Mr. Backster,

I just finished “Primary Perception”, a fun read. I’ve been exposed to your work here and there over the years and it’s good to get the definitive version.
Back in 1969, I first heard about plant responses. I was 19 an had a general belief in “ESP”, etc. In my 19 year old, near-infinite wisdom I was certain all these kinds of phenomenon were electromagnetic.

It turned out one of the guy’s dads was doing this kind of plant research. I wrangled an introduction to him and met him at his lab in The Mind Science Foundation near LAX. He was Mr. Bigbee, a physicist. He filled me in on his and your research.
I got the opportunity to build a tone type plant monitor. Mr. Bigbee scratched out a quick schematic without even sitting down. I stayed up all night building the thing. At dawn I hooked it up to a philodendron and got an unforgettable reaction. The details were very surprising. I was hooked.
I later learned from Mr. Bigbee that they had a plant trained to follow someone’s heart beat, and that it worked better in a Farady cage. This was an extraordinary piece of information for me. It meant that ESP and so on were not electromagnetic and that undergrad physics was incomplete. It opened my eyes to what eventually evolved for me into a spiritual path. I joke that I was led to God by a philodendron.

I only had sporadic contact with Mr. Bigbee in the subsequent years, but an interesting pattern developed: whenever I was fooling around with the plant monitor, he would call.
I suppose I assumed that the established researchers –you- had proven all these effects scientifically and that there was nothing of substance for me to contribute, so I just played with the thing. One of the best places to hook up the plant was at a dinner party. It was just like having one more person at the table. The plant was always a delightful guest, and didn’t eat much, either. One time the plant busted my sister’s new boyfriend when he put his hand under the table and touched her leg. It was great: she turned bright red and got redder the longer the plant squealed.
I loaned it out occasionally and always got a favorable response. I loaned it to a school teacher who found that little kids were especially good at getting the plant to respond. After the demo the plant was put in the back of the class room and a different lesson started. The plant squealed on one of the little kids when he snuck to the back of the room to fool with it.
Owning a plant monitor got me involved with some guys who were also investigating interesting things. We built a Kirilian camera that worked perfectly when it wasn’t biting your fingers. We threw together a Flannigan Neurophone to prove that something so stupid could not possibly work, naturally it worked immediately. These were the days of pyramid power, etc. We investigated tea leaf readers and psychics. I took some classes in RV. About 80% of the class could do it.
In spite of my interest in this stuff I followed the age old path of doing the mainstream career that Dad would approve of. I went into aerospace and general engineering. Blah! Now, after three decades I have become interested again in all these things. In searching out some of this I came across your book. And the circle completes.
I hope someday our paths can cross.
Sincerely,
