A significant development in clairvoyance research came in the 1930s, when J. B. Rhine, a parapsychologist at Duke University, introduced a standard methodology, with a standard statistical approach to analyzing data, as part of his research into extrasensory perception. A number of psychological departments attempted to repeat Rhine's experiments, with failure. W. S. Cox from Princeton University with 132 subjects produced 25,064 trials in a playing card ESP experiment. Cox concluded, "There is no evidence of extrasensory perception either in the 'average man' or of the group investigated or in any particular individual of that group. The discrepancy between these results and those obtained by Rhine is due either to uncontrollable factors in experimental procedure or to the difference in the subjects."

-'''''[[The Holy Mountain]]''''' is a 1973 Mexican surrealist film directed, written, produced, co-scored, co-edited by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky, who also participated as a set designer and costume designer on the film. The film is based on ''Ascent of Mount Carmel'' by John of the Cross and ''[[Mount Analogue]]'' by René Daumal. In this film, much of Jodorowsky's visually psychedelic story follows the metaphysical thrust of ''Mount Analogue''. This is revealed in such events as the climb to the [[alchemy|alchemist]], the assembly of individuals with specific skills, the discovery of the mountain that unites [[Heaven]] and [[Earth]] "that cannot not exist," and symbolic challenges along the mountain ascent.
