I. PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE

Introduction

Mankind Research Unlimited, Inc. was organized to collect, study, develop

and apply extensive and proliferating data on what may be called the

"frontiers of science". This data has come into being as a result of the

cross-fertiliza-tion of various scientific fields which long had little or

no direct contact with one another, and the re-examination of research areas

which were previously ignored by academe as heterodox.- This orthodoxy of

thought was also shared by many applied scientists in both industry and the

government. Consequently, the probability of achieving technological and

scientific breakthroughs by the use of innovative ideas and concepts,

however imaginative or esoteric they might be, has gradually diminished to

the point where, in certain critical areas, the United States is falling

behind existing technological state of the art in other countries of the

world, notably those in Eastern and Western Europe. Mankind Research

Unlimited hopes to reverse this trend and serve both as a catalyst for and

originator of new and creative ideas to stimulate research and technology

applications in areas beneficial to mankind.

Based on our experience in systems concept development and technological

forecasting, we feel this objective can be optimally attained through

application of system engineering principles to direct, coordinate, and

govern the activities and creative efforts of our multi-disciplinary team of

scientists and experimenters.

Evolutionary Trends in Science

During recent years a number of discernible trends in research have been

noted which point to a second Copernican era in science. While the first

era, sparked by the illustrious Polish astronomer, radically altered man's

cherished conceptions about the universe, the second gives promise of

revising man's concepts about his own nature and relationship to the

universe around him. On what may be called the "frontiers of scientific

investigation", new discoveries are being made which increasingly confirm

that man not only is a product of his own environment, both in the earthly

and cosmic sense, but that the biological effects of this environment can be

modified by the action of energies, or force-fields, either to enhance or

threaten his well-being.

The principles which have evolved from Planck's Quantum Theory and

Einstein's Theory of Relativity are leading man to realize that the material

universe is a uniform and interrelated whole, and helping man from within to

understand the purposeful organization of living structures and the

relationships between mind and matter. The astrophysicist Dr. Gustav

Stromberg, in his well- considered book, The Soul of The Universe, concludes

that the individual memory is probably indestructible and that the essence

of all living elements is probably immortal, thus tending to confirm the

existence of a World Soul or God.

The sciences of physics on the one hand, and of biology and medicine on the

other, after long and artificial separation, are now beginning to come into

close and fruitful interaction. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the

somewhat belated recognition that everything in nature possesses electrical

characteristics, and that nature has provided a delicately balanced outdoor

spectrum of electromagnetic energy for man's well-being which unfortunately

is not being duplicated indoors.3 Belated, too, has been the realization

that living organisms, man included, are as influenced by the actions of

energies or force-fields as are objects in the inanimate world. The barrier

between living and nonliving matter, so long a mystery and heretofore

impenetrable, is increasingly seen to be an artificial construct of the

other.

Unknown Energies Postulated

It has been postulated for some time that various energies may not

necessarily be associated or correlated with those on the conventional

electromagnetic spectrum. A decade ago, a farseeing editor wrote: "The

possibility that there are one or more biological force-field potentials

constitutes the greatest challenge before the world today. Consider that-the

existence of an electro-dynamic or psychodynamic field were established with

certainty, and that the laws of its universal and its localized operations

were described and used, as are the universals of particles and atoms, of

planets and solar systems, this would mean that man could come to have the

same tranquil confidence in life as a continuum and himself as a

localization therein as does the astronaut in the fields which constitute

his special certainty.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

In addition to the relatively new concept of biological force-fields,

reference has also been made to the existence of various undefined forces in

nature which penetrate and permeate conductors as well as dielectrics, do

not attenuate according to known formulas, cannot be measured by

conventional electronic test equipment and may even have a spectrum of their

own.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The Human Mind as an Energy Generator

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The suspected existence of a biological or psychodynamic field, as alluded

to above, is another possibility which is rapidly converting itself into a

distinct probability, if not a fact of hard science. The actions of the

human mind -- it must be stressed, are not synonymous with the brain -- have

been taken under study by pioneer researchers, some medically trained, who

are revealing human potentials which only a few years ago were unknown and

unsus-pected. Mankind Research Unlimited is fortunate to have several of

these pioneer researchers associated with our programs.

These studies imply that the human mind has and can develop greater than

normal access to information by extending and enhancing the sensory

abilities. Through the development of these sensory abilities, however

latent they may be, beyond those of the five recognized senses, may thusly

permit man to transcend, or pass beyond the limits which contemporary

science accepts as confining.

The Mind-Body Link in Health

By means of these extended sensory perceptive abilities, man is able

positively to affect his bodily (somatic) actions in the same manner in

which the early pioneers in psychosomatic medicine believed that certain

psychological states could have a deleterious effect on the body's

functioning and status.

Not only have these positive effects of higher sensory perception begun to

be dramatically recorded, but the possibility of their being taught, and

constantly improved through autogenic feedback mechanisms, is on the

threshold of becoming a reality. The control of autonomic functions, or

those of the involuntary nervous system, have been well-documented -- a

development which places in some jeopardy the use of the term

''involuntary''.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Ignored Historical Evidence Now Being Justified

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Although research scientists far ahead of their time have compiled

significant data about many of these phenomena for decades, their results

were often ignored or, worse, maligned by their more conservative and

orthodox colleagues. One of the important reasons for this stage of affairs

was the physicists' and biologists' mutual incomprehension of developments

in one another's fields.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Applications requiring such understanding, and research which made trenchant

use of insights from both disciplines, were oftentimes overlooked or

derided.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The gap between what has been considered metaphysical and what is accepted

as physical is seemingly beginning to close. More than twenty years ago a

remarkable book conjoining physical and psychic data was published, but few

of the world's scientists paid it any attention. Out of print today, this

book is now coming into repute and there are increasing demands for its

republication.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Particle and plasma physicists, who are breaking up the smallest units of

matter into their even smaller constituents, are coming to recognize that

energy fields may be the progenitors of all that exists in the physical

world. The concepts of anti-matter and anti-gravity pose deep philosophical

questions as to the nature and reality of matter.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Complementing the revolutionary advances and new points of view in physics,

are advances and speculations in the study of the human mind. An early

pioneer published his subjective experiences in altered states of

consciousness while under LSD. To this has been added the brilliant work of

a Czechoslovak psychiatrist [Grof] on the effects of LSD on the mind -- not the

least practical and humanitarian of which is to relieve dying patients from

their fear of the beyond. Other intrepid researchers of the mind, using

subjective and objective approaches are opening new vistas in the dark

forest of the human psyche.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The power of psychically-gifted individuals such as the redoubtable Edgar

Cayce -- who in deep trance diagnosed the ills of, and prescribed remedies

for, thousands of hapless patients -- were long the object of distrust and

scorn on the part of official medicine. Recently they have begun to receive

serious medical scrutiny.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Trails in research, bringing together new and startling data from physics,

biology, psychiatry, religion, etc., continue to be blazed. One milestone

was reached when the newly-formed Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine

held its first symposium in 1971 to evaluate paranormal and unorthodox

healing and seek breakthroughs which might be applied to the understanding

and treatment of illness. These means would include hypnotherapy, magnetic

healing, acu-puncture, radionics or radiesthesia, and psycho-physical

control of internal states.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The Scientific Revolution in the USSR and Eastern Europe

Data forthcoming from research based on new attitudes toward, and concepts

for developing, human potentials does not always initially surface in well-

recognized scientific journals. Nor is it exclusively the product of

"Western" science. The Soviet Union, as well as certain countries in the

Eastern European bloc, have been active and productive in nearly all of the

above-mentioned research directions. In both connections, we may cite, for

instance, the papers published by a new British journal on a symposium on

"Psychotronics" held in Prague,Czechoslovakia, in the fall of 1970.23

Psychotronics is the Czechoslovak term for what in the United States is

called parapsychology, a discipline recently given official acceptance by

the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In the USSR the

prefered term is biocommunications. As far back as the 1920s Leonid

Vasiliev, a student of the famous Vladimir Bekhterev, founder of the Moscow

Institute for the Study of the Brain and Nervous Activity, had termed what

westerners call "telepathy", big-radio communication. Later, the

incor-poration of the word "biological" into the nomenclature for various

ESP phenomena became standard in the USSR. Milan Ryzl, a scientist who

emigrated from Czechoslovakia to the United States, has defined

biocommunications as a new branch of science concerned with the human

capability of obtaining and interpreting information from other than the

recognized "normal" senses. This science, in-Soviet usage, has two

subdivisions: bioinformation and bioenergetics. The first deals with the

means of obtaining information through the senses, and the second deals with

the energetic effects produced by humans on other matter.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

That the Soviets had been actively pursuing research in biocommunications

(parapsychology) was given wide publicity with the appearance in the summer

of 1970 of a popular book containing over 400 references citing work and

specific experiments conducted in this area by Soviet and other East

European scientists. It reveals that the USSR has more than twenty centers

for the study of biocommunications and related phenomena, with an annual

budget estimated to be over 12 million rubles ($13 million) for 1967 and as

high as 821 million for 1970
