During his tenure as a member and president Beard wrote an article that was published in Spiritual Frontiers in 1970 on "How to Guard Against Possession." During this research he experimented extensively with using an ouija board. [citation needed] In his role as President of CPS, he lectured and mentored many aspiring students in the art of spiritualism.
