I studied my sources of information. They were the newspaper, the television, the radio, people I met, experience I had, books I read, places I had been. The first three I realized were the easiest to manipulate for mind control, but not in the way it is apparent today. I did not think in terms of control of the masses. I thought of it terms of only my newspaper being of a special publication just for me, and only my TV and radio channelled specifically for me.

I had to a review my life since leaving home, and how it may have been manipulated by external forces. In the army one is totally manipulated by externalities, and one could never be sure of the source for one's duty assignments, although in my own case it all seemed to be fairly innocent. Travelling throughout Europe was completely the opposite and any manipulation would seem almost certainly remote. Random experience seemed to be the best means of securing independent mind and action.

Probably because before the army while still back in Illinois, I had constructed a watcher, as a device to watch myself from outside my circumstances, mostly to affect changes in my behavior, I was watching the possible determinations which affected my existence. Not only was I watching, but I was an active participant both consciously and unconsciously, in my present and future realities. I was concerned primarily about my own conditioning, but also about control since my period of analysis. After clerk school in the army, when I did not get my assignment orders, as did the rest of my class, I decided to hide and say nothing for however long, which turned out to be at least a couple of months, when I got tired of it and asked for orders.
