As you may know, the GCP grew out of my experience as part of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) team at Princeton University. The technology we use has its historical roots in the experiments at PEAR. When the lab closed, its work continued at the International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL), and ICRL became the home of PEAR's elegantly designed equipment.

I am forwarding a letter from Bob Jahn and Brenda Dunne about a Kickstarter campaign to support a suitable home for that equipment. Many of you will likely be interested in helping with this project.

Best,
Roger





Dear PEAR and ICRL Friends,

ICRL has embarked on a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a PEAR museum, to be housed in our ICRL headquarters.  Our goal is to reassemble and reconfigure the various PEAR experimental devices to create a permanent working display.  As those of you who visited the PEAR laboratory know, all of these machines were not only precision instrumented, but all of them embodied attractive feedback displays as well,

We are seeking to raise $35,000 to defray the costs of hiring skilled hardware, software, and electronics specialists to update the hardware and operational software, as well as a professional carpenter to make some modest alterations to the new space in which they will be housed.  This project is anticipated to take approximately one year to complete.

Our Kickstarter campaign will begin immediately and will run for 45 days.  We encourage you to participate in this exciting project by going to  Kickstarter campaign and making a contribution.  And tell your friends.

Many thanks for your support,
 
Bob and Brenda
