From Alan Vaughan

To Lance Storm

Subject: Synchronicity experiments

Dear Lance Storm,

Thank you for your paper, “Synchronicity, Causality, and Acausality.” I find myself much in agreement with you and would push psi and synchronicity even closer together, as I do in my book INCREDIBLE COINCIDENCE (1979; Corgi, 1980). My view was much influenced by Jule Eisenbud, who pointed out that for Jung, psi WAS synchronicity.

I hope that you and your colleagues at University of Adelaide might be open to performing some of these experiments. When replying to Braude’s theoretical arguments against synchronicity, I said, “One experiment is worth a thousand theories.” Of course that one experiment needs to be a test of a theory.

Sincerely,
Alan Vaughan, Ph.D.

From Fred Gurzi

To Lance Storm

Subject: Synchronicity, Causality and Acausality

Dear Lance Storm:

I must say, you prepared an excellent paper appearing in Journal of Parapsychology, September issue. I am most impressed with the care, time and effort you put forth to get it exactly the way you wanted.

There are two areas I want to address with you, but not until I have read the paper again and did some worthwhile research beforehand.

Meanwhile, Nice Going!

Fred Gurzi

P.S. I am taking the liberty of sending you a paper I had published in July 1999 that poses some exciting synchronicity. “The Paranormal Objectified in a Perplexing Encounter.” It is not believable, but the future will tell and the clock started two to three years ago.

Subject: Special Award to Lance Storm.

One of the priority objectives for this Department in 2001 is to provide increased support for our Ph.D. students and, it is appropriate that we recognize outstanding achievements by individual Ph.D. students. In the future the Frank Dalziel Prize will provide one way of doing this. Because of delays in the setting up of the conditions for this Prize, I have decided this year in lieu of this Prize to make a Head of Department Special Award to one of our final-year Ph.D. students whose record of research publications in peer-reviewed journals during the period of his candidature is quite outstanding.

Lance Storm has so far had 9 papers accepted for publication in peer-reviewed journals; 3 of these papers are sole-authored, and he is first author on 5 others. His most recent publication is a major review article in the very high impact journal, Psychological Bulletin. In addition to these papers, Lance has two more papers currently under review by refereed journals, a further 4 articles published in non-refereed publications, and 2 published letters to the Editor. This is an extraordinary record of achievement for a Ph.D. student. Those who are not familiar with the field of anomalistic psychology in which Lance has carried out his thesis, might be surprised perhaps by the sophistication of the research methodologies¾controlled experimental designs, meta-analyses, Rasch scaling, etc.¾and theoretical analyses that have underpinned his empirical work. That his papers have passed the test of international peer review so often clearly indicates the high opinion that others have formed of his research. Accordingly, I am pleased to confer on Lance Storm this Special Award for outstanding achievement as a Ph.D. student. The value of the Award will be $1000.

Congratulations and well done, Lance!

Dear Lance

Thank you for your kind letter and for sending the copies of the evaluations. I am glad that you found the experience positive and that you gained new skills.  It was a terrific opportunity for you.

I will pass on the letter to Rebecca and Sue. The W&M evaluations were all very positive with the only negative being that the students doing the Australian course had to do much more work that those doing the W&M course. This, of course, was no reflection on you or David as you were doing what W&M requested.

It was a huge success and you contributed to that.

Thanks
