For several months now, I’ve been following the tracks of a strange character named Dr. Andrija Puharich who is sort of a conspiracy theorists wet dream, but who’s only gradually rising to prominence as a figure worthy of study.

To quickly summarize, Puharich was involved on the one hand with ELF (extremely low frequency) transmissions, and even supposedly invented a radio receiver which could be inserted into tooth fillings. And then on the other hand, he has this history of alleged UFO contact, and a series of channellers who claimed to be in communion with ancient Egyptian gods. Here are a couple pieces I’ve written about him, which you might want to explore:

1. Puharich, E.L.F & Tooth Implants
2. Puharich Strikes Again!
3. Uri Geller & SPECTRA

He’s one of these malleable characters who flit in and out of other people’s life stories, such as Gene Roddenberry, creator Star Trek, and psychic Uri Geller, who in turn is connected to Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Dodi Fayed’s father and more. Further, Puharish seems to have been very much treading the line between working for the government and working against the government at various times, which perhaps indicates that there was some deeper hidden agenda at work. I’ve encountered fewer figures in the annals of conspiracy research who seem to have lead more interesting lives, nor left behind more twisted trails.

In my on-going effort to gather more information about him, I downloaded recently a lecture of his at a UFO convention in 1990. You can download it here in mp3 format (and the site I found that on). There are some simply astonishing things in this interview about his UFO contacts, messages he received from aliens, and his experiments with Uri Geller. Of these, the most interesting for me personally relate to a race of alien beings whom he’s told are called The Hoova. (Go here for more information about his involvement with Uri Geller & Hoova)

Followers of my site will know that Philip K. Dick is one of my favorite authors, and the whole VALIS scenario is one of my favorite meta-conspiracies of all time. Without totally rehashing that whole thing again, Dick believed that he was contacted by an alien intelligence which was basically divine. He wrote several fictionalized accounts of these events, one of which is a book called The Divine Invasion. The Divine Invasion was actually my first introduction to Dick’s work, and thus has a special place in my heart. Anwyay, the plotline of that book is basically that there’s a god-being called Yah (as in Yahweh) who lives on another planet, and who’s trying to get back to Earth, which has been taken over by a dark force. He impregnates a woman, and returns to Earth where he grows up and gradually recalls his divine nature, while avoiding the agents of evil who seek to exterminate him.

Now, I don’t know if Puharich is a fan or friend of Philip K. Dick’s, but in this lecture linked above, Puharich outlines an almost identical scenario. Via Uri Geller and other psychics, he makes contact with an alien intelligence calling itself Yeh-Hoova (as in Jehovah/Yahweh). He also breaks a code used by these alien beings which is a form of ancient Hebrew, and which predicts the entire history of the world ecologically (incidentally, he predicts in this lecture a massive famine in 1990 which as far as I remember never happened). In any event, then he goes on to describe his efforts to find and keep track of what he calls “space kids”, kids who have unusual abilities or intelligence. Through hypnotic regression therapy, he causes these children to “recall” the planets which they came from. His understanding of it is that beings are regularly sent here with specific missions to progress the human race and protect the planet. These beings then rise to positions of prominence or influence, so that they are spread out in governments all over the world, steering from behind the scenes.

It’s all very fascinating until you remember that there’s some chance that Puharich’s many inventions were for devices which transmitted or interrupted thought patterns - mind control. How much can you trust the ramblings of somebody who worked on such things, and may have simply had his inventions then used on him? Or, perhaps he wittingly used them on other people to intentionally transmit spurious information about gods and entities from space, in an effort to nudge forward the New Age movement, fulfilling some secret conspiratorial purpose. And if this was the case, then was Philip K. Dick a victim of technology similar to Puharich’s (perhaps even controlled by Puharich himself) or were Dick and Puharich unknowingly working for the same extraterrestrial divine intelligences to save mankind?

With Puharich there seem to be far more questions than answers - which is exactly why I like him. In any event, I’m compiling a list of Puharich-related articles, research and speculation for the intrepid investigator to go and find out more about this weird mystery for themselves.
