The Seattle psychic channel Bob met in the late 1960s (Bob calls him "Dave Worcester") — the second voice of Cosmic Awareness and the source of the "Rhyee" cosmology that seeds the Tiny Note Chart's five columns. Bob presents him as a hinge figure in his own education: a McLuhan-reading channeler at the center of a Pacific-Northwest occult, LSD, and New Age milieu (Al Hubbard, Anton LaVey, Alan Watts, L. Ron Hubbard). New to the series in dialogue 13; nearly all the material about him is biographical and personally sensitive.
Across the dialogues
Introduced as the Seattle channel behind Cosmic Awareness — his biography and the "Rhyee" myth frame the Tiny Note Chart's columns
What qualified Worcester for Bob was not the channeling but the McLuhan literacy — the "marker" that made a psychic worth taking seriously.
"the first psychic channel I met, and I found him to be very intelligent. And he had read McLuhan."Bob Dobbs, The Resonant Interval, Dialogue 13 (11 Feb 2021), 17:15
Worcester models the reflexive stance Bob would make his own — reading the news as a mirror of one's own private activity.
"he was the first person I ever met who saw himself reflected out there in the news, not in a silly way."Bob Dobbs, The Resonant Interval, Dialogue 13 (11 Feb 2021), 19:52
Bob's recurring pattern-claim — Worcester repeatedly did privately what later surfaced as a mass phenomenon (LSD "set and setting" before Leary).
"So that was an example of Worcester doing something, and then it shows up and becomes a big phenomenon. So this happened regularly with him"Bob Dobbs, The Resonant Interval, Dialogue 13 (11 Feb 2021), 23:16
