CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
The traditional five symbols of ESP experimentation are in fact a language, and until now this fact has been a carefully hidden secret. Developed by psychologist Karl Zener in the early 1930s, purportedly as a tool for extrasensory perception research at the Rhine Institute, the five symbols actually encapsulate an entire alphabet. By the 1970s, skeptics discredited the Zener system, thereby discouraging focus on the symbols and effectively sealing their (newfound?) secret importance as a coded messaging system between governmental psychic spies.
