The World Institute for Scientific Exploration (WISE), is announcing the establishment of
its Membership Cash Rewards Program today, which will add to the many other
benefits provided to WISE members. With this program all WISE members can now
earn extra money for themselves, or their local branch or chapter of WISE,
because for every new WISE member you recruit to WISE as a paying member,
you will be paid a 33% cash reward.
Since the WISE international membership annual fee is US$75.00, you will get
US$25.00 for each paying member you recruit. And the great thing about it is that
you will continue to get the US$25.00, each year that the person you recruited remains
a member of WISE. (For students, the cash reward is US$12.00, since the student
membership fee is $35.00). And even if you are not interested in earning extra money,
all you have to do is recruit three new WISE members, and the cost of you own
membership will be paid for.
But the cash rewards can only be earned by official WISE members.
Many of the approximately 20,000 people who receive the WISE Journal are not yet
official members of WISE, so hurry and register your WISE membership online
now, here, so you can begin taking advantage of this great WISE membership benefit.
You may recruit as many new members as you want, and you may use any form
of print or broadcast media, as well as, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs, text
messages, postings to discussion groups, mailing lists, and other social
networking services. The online WISE membership registration form requires the
name and email address of the person who recruited them, so that way we will
know who is to receive the cash reward. So be sure to remind the person you are
recruiting to put in your name and email address.
In addition, you may also recruit WISE members by distributing the attractive
WISE Promotional Handout at meetings and conferences you attend, send by
email, put on Facebook, etc.. You will receive cash rewards for every person who
joins WISE and names you as the recruiter. This handout is a Word document
available online, here, so just download the Handout, add your name and contact
information to the bottom of the document, print as many as you want, and hand
them out, or put them on one of the tables for such items, usually near the
entrance to meeting lecture halls. Or you can send them by email, put on Facebook,
LinkedIn, and other social media sites.

Will You Help Us Safeguard & Make Accessible the Bernard R. Grad
Archives Relating to Alternate Healing Modalities?
We are reaching out to you through the WISE Journal in the knowledge that there are
many readers on this list who are passionate about alternate healing modalities. Some
of you have benefited from some form of alternate treatment that science is reluctant to
validate. Through personal experience, you recognize the positive effect of that
healing on your quality of life.
Some of you will have been convinced of the efficacy of alternate healing through
reading about the research of healing practitioners such as Dolores Krieger and William
Bengston. And others may be open-minded and hopeful about the reality of a healing
energy or force.
Grads passion, however, from about 1950 on, was how healing through the laying-on-
of-hands might function and the related fields of subtle energy and bio-
electromagnetics. Perhaps some of you might have met him at one of the meetings of
the Bio-Electro-Magnetics Institute (BEMI) or International Society for Study of Subtle
Energy and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM).
Your donation IN ANY AMOUNT toward the costs of preserving and making Professor
Grads research available through the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada,
would be very much appreciated.
Thanks to an offer from a very generous donor, the first $2,500 of donations received
through this outreach will be matched. That means that the value of your donation will
be doubled your dollar will go twice as far!

From Fall 1949, Grad studied with Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) in Rangeley, Maine.
Grads thinking was profoundly affected by Reichs controversial concept of Orgone as
a life force energy. Ultimately, Grads research interests included Kirlian photography,
spiritual or energy healing and its history, Reichs Orgone energy theory, and healing
treatments involving magnetism and water. When Grad died, a tribute in the Annals of
the Institute for Orgonomic Science (vol. 11 (December 2011)) claimed that orgonomy
has lost its greatest experimental biologist since Wilhelm Reich. That tribute and its
select bibliography of Bernard Grad on orgonomy and healing research are available
upon request (email Walter Meyer zu Erpen at sric@islandnet.com for a copy by email).
Grads study of a possible healing energy began with experiments with the Hungarian-
born immigrant Oskar Estebany who claimed to be a healer. Grad studied wound
healing in mice, meticulously documenting the healing rates of mice held by Estebany,
and compared this with healing rates of similar wounds in mice not held by a human.
Grads experiments also examined the growth rate of plants treated with water that had
been held either by a healer, by a severely depressed patient, or not held at all. Among
his unpublished research studies are data notes relating to the impact of healing energy
on the dessication rates of fruit.
Despite advancing disability from Parkinsons Disease, Bernard Grads passion for
research continued into his 80s; Grad remained an ever active scientist. He advised
his students to expect the unexpected because your life is bound to be full of
surprises. His memoirs have been compiled by Deborah Gagne, a holistic nurse who
experienced Grad as mentor. Titled On the Road to Healing and Biogenesis: Memoirs
of a Scientist, a limited edition prepublication proof was circulated among family and
friends in 2015. The book is under consideration for publication and broader
distribution.
When Bernard Grad died in 2010, his legacy included a basement full of research
documentation, recorded on paper, audio and digital media, including unpublished
experimental data. Bernies wife Lottie Renee Grad (1920-2016) continued to live in the
3
family home. When a pipe burst in the basement, care was taken to protect Bernies
research; the majority of records were boxed and moved to a storage locker, but they
were no longer accessible to students interested in Grads work. After the death of
Renee Grad in 2016, the remaining records and books had to be relocated as well.
The Grad sons have agreed their fathers research should be deposited at the
University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections in Winnipeg. That institution is
one of the few North American archives that preserve and promote the availability of
research collections into little understood aspects of the human psyche. One early
donation, the T. Glen Hamilton archives relating to psychical research experiments
conducted during the 1920s and 1930s, has attracted many additional collections. The
growing list of archives can be viewed online:
http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/archives/archivalcollections/psychicalspiritualism
With agreement between the Grad family and University of Manitoba archivist Shelley
Sweeney that the Bernard Grad collection would best be preserved in Winnipeg, we are
anxious to proceed. The University has a budget for transporting priority archival
collections such as Professor Grads to Winnipeg.
A generous donor has committed to match the first $2,500 of funds raised toward the
cost of arranging and describing the Grad collection in order to make it available to
students.
We require funding to digitize selected portions of the collection and promote Professor
Grads research legacy online, through the university website. Our proposed budget of
$56,000 is outlined in Appendix A.
Established in 2012 by Walter Meyer zu Erpen, the primary focus of the Psychical
Research Archives Endowment Fund (PRAEF) is the acquisition and preservation of
at-risk archival and library materials, including their arrangement, description, and
digitization to make them broadly available for public use.
Psychical research is intended in the sense used in the founding statement of the
Society for Psychical Research (1882): "to examine without prejudice or prepossession
and in a scientific spirit those faculties of man, real or supposed, which appear to be
inexplicable on any generally recognized hypothesis." It includes psychic (spiritual)
healing as demonstrated through psychic surgery and hands-on healing modalities, as
well as other types of anomalistic research.
4
PRAEF emphasizes the physical aspects of psychic phenomena, including macro-
psychokinesis and the possibility of a mind-over-matter healing force similar to what
Bernard Grad was investigating.

Press Release December 2016
The International Light Association is coming to North America for the first time since 2011!
The 14th Annual ILA Conference on Light and Health
"THE POWER OF LIGHT"
will take place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, U.S.A.
April 30th May 3rd, 2017
at the Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel.
Are you passionate about light and color? Do you love to share knowledge and skills and want to learn about the
latest theories, techniques and technologies? Would you like to use this knowledge to promote health, enhance
performance, and raise consciousness? Are you concerned about light pollution and the effects of light in our
environment? If so, then you are most welcome to join us in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, U.S.A. at the annual
conference for the International Light Association.
As a member of the ILA, you are part of our international network of people who focus on the therapeutic uses of
light and color. Our mission is to share information, to initiate and promote research, and to create an open-hearted,
broad-minded, and integrative community in the field of light. Therefore, the ILA is the platform for those who are
active in any work related to the therapeutic use of light to promote health and wellbeing.
The International Light Association was founded at the 2003 Light Medicine Conference in Antwerp, Belgium. Since
then, the ILA has grown into an established group of individuals who have a deep connection with light and color and
who appreciate the effects of both on our health and wellbeing and the world around us. Our members include those
with a professional interest in light and color as well as others who are inspired by personal or creative connections
to light. Some members are light therapy practitioners or health professionals, while others are scientists and
educators. The most creative ILA members include artists, architects, and designers.
Our annual conference will feature 17 remarkable international presenters, light-in-action workshops, a
marketplace of interaction with many of the worlds most dynamic light therapists and researchers, and many
fun cultural events. This years topics of special interest include light-based acupuncture and health factors
associated with the new lighting technologies (such as LEDs) that everyone needs to become aware of.
The event will appeal not only to those who already work professionally in the field, but also to anyone with a
curiosity about the subject. Attending our conference can definitely give you that little extra push to decide on a
profession in light or to incorporate light and color into your practice for health and wellbeing.
On behalf of the ILAs Board of Directors and President, Anadi Martel, we are delighted to invite you to The Power
of Light.

Announcement
The theme for this year will be Expanding the Boundaries of Science.
Those of us interested in the rigorous study of scientific anomalies have been stymied by
the strictures and assumptions of the dominant materialistic scientific paradigm. And so at
least two questions challenge us: what parts of the scientific enterprise need reformulation;
and the more difficult problem, how might we need to think differently about the way the
world works?
13
Program Highlights
Our 2nd bi-annual Founders Lecture
Special thematic sessions on Near Death Experiences/Survival; Healing; Biological Effects
of Electromagnetic Radiation

presentation. Poster presentations provide an interactive one-on-one discussion of work
completed. A short synopsis of the motivation, methodology, outcomes, and conclusions
14
should be included on the poster, with emphasis placed on the outcomes of work
completed. For posters, an abstract should be prepared and submitted in accordance with
the paper submission process and indicate the preference for a poster presentation. Titles
and abstracts for contributed papers should be emailed to the Poster Program Chair:
Chantal Toporow (sseaspiringexplorers@gmail.com). Electronic submission is required.
The Title should be short and informative. Please include Author name and Affiliation, and
contact information. Abstracts should be 300 to 500 words (one page of single spaced text),
and should summarize the main points of the poster presentation. Plain text as the body of
the e-mail is preferred. If special formatting is required for intelligibility, please submit a
Word document. Note that student submissions must be sponsored by Full members. (Full
members do not require sponsorship.) The conference committee intends to partner
meritorious poster submitters with SSE full members in similar research fields. If accepted,
the poster board shall measure 1m width and 2m height. We do NOT provide the poster
boards. We advise to print the posters beforehand and bring them with you and we will
supply tape to mount your posters. The cut off date for abstract submissions for the posters
is April 15, 2017. Authors will be notified of the review result (i.e., acceptance or rejection)
and any applicable comments, by May 1st, 2017.
FOR STUDENTS: The SSE has established an Aspiring Explorers Prize for the student
research project judged to be the most original and well-executed submission. A committee
has been established to review all entries and determine the winner, who will receive an
award of $500 and have the opportunity to present a talk describing the project at next
year's annual meeting, for which the Society will cover the student's registration fee. If your
paper is selected for the Aspiring Explorer Award, you will be invited to present your talk at
the meeting, otherwise, you will be able to submit your paper as a poster session. Please let
your fellow student colleagues and professors know. In addition, the SSE is also be offering
a 50% discount on future meeting registrations for any student member who brings one
other student friend to our conferences. We are eager to see student clubs or SSE

Among the Missing, (and Updates): A Column about Missing
People,Organizations, Periodicals, Books, Artifacts, and Collections
This is a new column or section of the WISE Journal, and will be an ongoing part of
every issue, with the purpose of helping WISE, as well as, our members and research
associates locate people, organizations, periodicals, books, artifacts, collections, and
other items that have seemingly disappeared, or have been extremely difficult to find.
Updates will be added, and each missing item will be retained in future issues
until it is found or otherwise resolved, since some readers may not have seen
prior issues of the WISE Journal or the original notice of the missing item.
In addition, this will also serve as a People Locator Service to help find authors and
researchers on alternative and complementary medicine, subtle energies, energy
medicine, consciousness, scientific mysteries and related subjects, who have
disappeared or have died long ago, and whose relatives you may be trying to find in
order to preserve the research papers and collection of that person.
So if there is anything you have been searching for and need help to find, please write
to me, John H. Reed, M.D. at: joreed43@gmail.com, and I will include your search help
request in the next and subsequent issues of the WISE Journal. And if you have any
information about an item that is listed in Among the Missing, please write to the
same email address and share what you know or your suggestions. If there is
something that is confidential, your confidentiality request will be honored and
protected.
Missing Museums:
23
were made during this time, but never released. The BSRA was active until about 2004,
when it apparently became inactive as a membership organization, although its website
was still maintained. The last and current director of the BSRA is James Borges of
Eureka, California.
That BSRA had a museum in which many devices were housed, including Drown
machines, Hieronymus machines, and the UKACO devices. All of this is detailed in a
Youtube video series with 24 parts that details what was in the Museum. Part One
details all the devices, which you can see here. Many of these devices were reproduced
by Michael Knox, Peter Lindemann, Tom Brown, and Eric Dollard, who in 1987 had
founded the Borderland Labs. It is currently not known where the museum or its artifacts
are located, or if the museum even exists or its contents dissipated. I have been trying
to call James Borges at the last number I knew him at: 707-497-6911, which is also

Missing Organizations:
The IAPR held numerous international conferences around the world, beginning
with its first in 1974 in Prague, then Czechoslovakia. At this conference, Dr.
Zdenek Rejdak was elected president for the Eastern Division of the IAPR, and
Dr. Stanley Krippner was elected president for the West. The 8th International
Conference on Psychotronic Research was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1993,
as a joint conference with the United States Psychotronics Association (USPA),
but it is unknown if any subsequent conferences of the IAPR were held.
Proceedings of each of these conferences were published. If any of you have
copies of these proceedings, or any newsletters, we would greatly appreciate it if
you would loan us or donate copies for the library. If you have any knowledge
about this organization, please write to the editor at: joreed43@gmail.com
2. International Radionics Association (IRA): Does anyone know anything
about the International Radionics Association (IRA), which was located in
Springfield, Missouri in the late 1940s. This is known, because a book called The
Truth about Radionics was published in 1947 by this organization, and although
the authors name is anonymous, it is highly probable that the author was T.
Galen Hieronymus, who passed away many years ago.
Missing Periodicals:
1. British Journal of Radiesthesia and Radionics: Does anyone have any issues
of The British Journal of Radiesthesia and Radionics. It was published in London,
England, by the British Radiesthesia Association, 1953-1963. The original title
was British Journal of Radiesthesia, published from 1953-1957. No libraries in
the United States, public or university, have this journal in their collection., and
only five libraries elsewhere in the world are known to have any issues at all: The
26
British Museum Library (AKA The British Library), Oxford, Cambridge, the
National Library of Scotland, and Trinity College Library, in Dublin Ireland. If you
have any issues of this periodical, will you please let me know? And for our
members and associates in The UK and Ireland, if you can access these
periodicals at any of the above libraries, you would do a huge service for all of us
if you would Xerox what issues are available and send them to me. A generous
donor has offered to pay whatever expenses are involved for doing this service.
We will add them to the WISE Library and make them available to researchers.
Please contact the editor at: joreed43@gmail.com.
I have searched the WorldCat, which shows the periodical holdings of virtually
every public and university library in the United States and Canada, and many of
the large libraries in the UK and elsewhere overseas. But this title, or anything
close to it does not exist in the WorldCat database, so that indicates that this
periodical title is not held in any library, even special collections, which are also
included in WorldCat. However, this does not mean that the periodical does not
exist, since many periodicals in the psychotronics , scientific anomalies and
similar fields are excluded from libraries. If any of you have ever heard of this
periodical or know anything about it, such asits editor, publisher, or other
information, please write to the editor at:joreed43@gmail.com.
Missing Books:
Rhea White and Larissa Vilenskaya wrote a book titled Parapsychology in the Soviet
Union, Eastern Europe, and China: A Compendium of Information. It was
supposedly published by Scarecrow Press of Metuchen, NJ, a well know publisher of
reference books. This book was listed as reference work #680 on page 213 of Rhea
Whites book, Parapsychology: New Sources of Information, 1973-1989 , also
published by Scarecrow Press. I called the publisher, and they said they have never
published this book, and know nothing about it. As you can see from entry #680, Rhea
White noted that this book was in press, so it may have been in a preparation stage,
but the manuscript may never have been sent to Scarecrow Press.
Again, I have searched the WorldCat, which shows books and monograph holdings of
virtually every public and university library in the United States and Canada, and many
of the large libraries in the UK and elsewhere in the world. But this book title does not
exist in the WorldCat database, which indicates that this book is not held in any library,
27
even special collections, which are also included in WorldCat. Unfortunately, I was
unable to ask either of the authors about this, since both have passed away.
Rhea White was a well known parapsychology researcher, so some of you may have
known her or heard her speak of the missing book manuscript that she was working on.
Larissa Vilenskaya was from Russia, but lived and worked in the San Francisco area,
and she was a prolific researcher on Russian and Eastern European psychotronics
research. Please write to your editor at: joreed43@gmail.com if you have any
information about this at all.

LIFE AND DEATH FROM A PHYSICS STANDPOINT
Nina Sotina, Ph.D
29
A head (a protective protein shell) contains DNA (some types of bacteriophages contain RNA
only). A tail is a protein tube. By six legs (tail fibers), the phage attaches to the surface of the
much larger bacterium Escherichia coli. Once attached, the bacteriophage injects DNA into the
bacterium. The DNA instructs the bacterium to produce masses of new viruses.
The following is an approximate list of the bacteriophage's functions.
) Detecting (done at a range of several phage's own lengths) and turning the tail towards the
bacterium;
b) Attaching to the surface of the bacteria and penetrating it with the tail;
c) Injecting genetic material into the bacterium. (The injection is accompanied by the
contraction of phages head, and the simultaneous cooperative shift of its protein subunits with
respect to each other occur, which makes the tail become shorter and thicker. The tail of the
phage can be visualized as a molecular syringe).
From the physics standpoint, the intelligent behavior of the bacteriophage must be caused
by some physical phenomenon of interaction. Thus most of researchers suggest that:
) detecting and turning towards the bacterium is done by electrostatic forces. [Note, that this
is not very convincing because the abilities of electrostatic forces are limited (there are only two
sighs of a charge + and ), at the same time the variety of phages in the micro world is enormous
and every phage parasite on its own type of bacteria].
b) attaching to the surface of a bacterium occurs due to Van der Waals forces.
c) injecting of genetic material, partially occur due to the pressure difference (DNA is packed
tightly inside the protein shell of a phage; as a result of that, DNA has elastic energy and exert
pressure on the walls of the protein shell). Interaction of DNA and protein, which is explained to
be due to the formation of the special correlations of electric charges, also plays an important
role in the process [3].
However, the above reasoning alone cannot explain the coherence and a high degree of
determinism of biomolecules behavior. Thus, if assume that the interaction between DNA and
protein is due to the complex correlations of electric charges alone, then how to explain the
stability observed in the functioning of a bacteriophage at the temperature around 300K? The
heat fluctuations should have caused disorder in the complex mechanism.
In the opinion of the author of the present work it is impossible to calculate the behavior of
biomolecules even theoretically using the methods of the quantum mechanics alone without
bringing some heuristic models. And it is not only because of the complexity of a problem. The
question is much deeper: the question is about incompleteness in the description of physical
reality by quantum mechanics (so-called problem of hidden variables which would allow a
quantum system to be consistent with the deterministic theory).
2. Nonlocal hidden variables and the quantum potential of D.Bohm.
The idea to introduce new forces in quantum mechanics is not recent. Even in 1935 Einstein,
Podolsky, and Rosen suggested to introduce hidden variables, that would allow deterministic
description of micro world. Why this idea was not accepted by the majority of physicists?
Because it was proven later that hidden variables must be nonlocal only. Nonlocality
means two possibilities: either existence of a physical field which allows interactions with speeds
greater than the speed of light, or possibility instantaneous connection between distant particles.
Both possibilities, however, contradict the Theory Relativity.
30
The most famous proponents of the causal (deterministic) interpretation of the quantum
theory, and, consequently, the existence of nonlocal hidden variables were D.Bohm [4]. Bohm
represented (r , t ) in the following form (r , t ) A(r , t ) exp iS / , substituted it into the non-
stationary Schrdinger equation
2
(r , t )
i r, t U (r , t ) r, t ,
t 2m
separated real and imaginary parts and obtained these two equations:
2
S ( S )2 A2
( /2m) A / t 2( A)( S) A 2
S
U 0,
t 2m 2m A
The first equation looks like the Hamilton-Jacobi equation but it contains not only the classical
potential, but also another term
2 2
A
UQ
2m A
Bohm called U Q the quantum information potential .
31
Quantum Mechanics, as known, explains a large number of experiments. Since, the
Schrdinger equation is the main postulate of quantum mechanics, we should preserve it, if we
are to develop a new approach; possibly by giving a different interpretation to the Schrdinger
equation. The author of the present work proved that the Schrdinger equation can derived from
the deterministic laws of classical mechanics [5, 6]. Under the deterministic approach the
Schrdinger equation is a necessary condition of a stable motion of electrons in an atom. Besides
that this approach gives a strong mathematical base with which to suggest that some spatial
structures are formed in the physical vacuum associated with the motion of any quantum object
(atoms, molecules, ). These structures are responsible for stabilization of the elections motion
in an atom.
In order to say anything more specific about the shape of these structures, we need to know
more about the properties of the physical vacuum as a medium that fills up the space between
elementary particles as well as between the stars. If we make an assumption that hidden
variables are associated with some kind of a field that is created by a medium similar in
properties to superfluid He-3, then we can be more specific about the form of the structures.
Indeed, in superfluid He-3 structures like homogeneous precessing domains are observed, where
all spins of the fluid particles precess with the same frequency and phase. If we assume, that in
the material substance (the superfluid vacuum) such domain accompanies electrons motion in a
hydrogen atom, then it can be demonstrated that the frequencies of precession of the quasi-
particles spin are the natural frequencies of the atom (calculated from the Rydbergs formula).
Obviously, the more complex a quantum object (atom molecule biomolecule) is the the
more complex is the structure accompanying it in the physical vacuum. It is reasonable to
suggest, that the structures accompanying a biomolecules system must be fundamentally differ
from structures accompanying non-living quantum systems, because they must contain some
"mechanism" that governs the changes in the quantum states of biomolecules. hat is these
structures hold information and energy necessary to control biochemical processes [7]. These
ideas are in agreement with the results of the experiments conducted by Eugene Macovschi.
These experiments will be discussed in details in the next chapter.
The idea that a living organism is not just a material substance, that is accumulation of
molecules, but also some non-molecular structure in the physical vacuum goes back to the mists
of time. In works of Greek philosophers, we can find the idea of a soul, as a substance composed
of a fine kind of matter which person loses in death. For example, Socrates stated that it is the
soul that animates the body of a living thing. He said: What is it that, when present in a body,
makes it living? - A soul [8].
A number of arguments for the claim that the soul is material have come down to us. The best
one of these is that the soul is material because only material objects affect one another, and soul
and body do affect one another, for instance in cases of bodily damage or emotion.
Many centuries passed but science still did not make much progress in understanding of life
and death. According to contemporary biophysics human organism is composed of cells, which
in turn are mainly composed of biomolecules, and the biomolecules are composed of elementary
particles. he space between elementary particles is filled with a special kind of medium - the
physical vacuum. From the point of view of the dominant physics theories the physical vacuum
must have a uniform density of energy everywhere. Emotions according to modern biology are
associated with hormones produced in our body.
32
However in the scientific world there were scientists and scientific groups who raised the
question about the soul. In 1854 for the first time, a German physiologist Rudolf Wagner at a
congress in Gottingen, proposed a hypothesis about existence of a soul, as a special material
substance.
5. Macovschi concept of a biostructure.
In the second half of the 20th century biochemist Macovschi not only put forward a hypothesis
that there exist a non-molecular material structure in the physical vacuum, associated with a
living organism, but also conducted a series of interesting experiments on plants to prove it.
33
hand, is a system composed of elements (items) of arbitrary nature and has a definite shape. Here
lies a significant difference between structures and the physical field. Biostructures, unlike field,
have a definite shape. Macovschi viewed the biostructure which holds the water in a plant as a
sponge.
It is important to note that in order for biostructures to be stable and at the same time
dynamic there must exist some kind of interaction among non-molecular elements of a
biostructure which controls the coherent behavior of the distant elements. Thus, to understand
biostructures it is important to go beyond the molecular level in the investigations, into finer
level of matter.
Despite the Macovschi concept of a biostructure and a number of conundrums encountered
by biophysicists, modern biology continues to develop solely within boundaries of molecular
concept which does not provide a satisfactory understanding of the specifics of a living matter.
The main reason for that is the theory of relativity which prevents the further development of
the concept of biostructure. Indeed, if spatial structures existed in physical vacuum then it
would be possible to link a coordinate system with them, and it would be possible to introduce an
absolute motion of objects with respect to vacuum which contradicts the first postulate of
special relativity the postulate of relativity.

Human Potential and Possible Tests of Transformations
among Vision and Other Sensations
Yi-Fang Chang
Department of Physics, Yunnan University, Kunming, 650091, China
Southern China Branch of International Chinese Parapsychology Association
(e-mail: yifangch@sina.com)
Abstract: We trained the potential of blind children and general children, and obtain some success
by a method combining science and Chinese traditional Qigong and so on. Based on modern
neurobiology and these human potentials, we proposed a testable scientific hypothesis: The neural
excitable cell is continuously induced and excited, then grow out new synapse and dendrite, so the
feeling system, hearing system, smell system, etc., may joint to visual system, and form a new
neural network, and achieve finally a transformation among vision and other sensations. Further,
we propose some possible tests, for example, scientists may train the blinded animals, then dissect
their brain, and compare their different functions and different results. And these results may
compare with those animals lack some sense organs. If this hypothesis is validated, it will bring
benefit to mankind, in particular, disability, and may build a bridge between modern medicine and
parapsychology, and between science and religion.
1. Modern Neurobiology
According to the areas of cerebral cortices [1], the sensation cortices include visual cortex
(17, 18, 19, etc., area), hearing cortex (41, 42 areas), taste cortex (43 area), olfactory cortex (28
area), body sensation cortex (1, 2, 3 areas). But, it is a linear reductionism that different areas are
distinguished. Olfactory nerve joints with optic nerve, and vestibulocochlear nerve relates to
hearing. Gustation and olfaction are related closely. Gustation relates to thalamus, hypothalamus
and amygdala, and they relate also to channel of olfaction into nerve centre.
In modern neurobiology various general independent sensation systems may be substitutions
each other. For example, Bach-y-Rita, et al., researched vision substitution by tactile and tongues
[2-4], etc. In a word, since half tissues of brain are in contact with vision, men see by their brains,
and are not eyes [5-7]. It is related with the synesthesia [6-9]. This is also the Six Sense-organs
Intersubstitution on eye-ear-nose-tongue-body-thinking in Buddhism, which as a type of special
functions in fact is not strange.
35
imaginary hand or other tools, and even wrote few tiny words (Chinese Mother I love you) and
a figure of love at match rod in closed locket by virtual pen. Various investigations show
possibly the existence of new fifth interaction [10].
In fact, these results are the same with parapsychology and many experiments of Chinese
somatic science. Various researches show possibly the existence of new interaction, of high
dimensional space-time, or of new body-mind-gods many-worlds. Three new results are related
each other [11], and between real and imaginary spaces there must be new interactions, as PK.
36
Under inducement or outside excitation various sensation systems may joint each other. Their
basic principle of internal growth is the biological power of self-adjustment, self-repair and
self-organization, especially for children. They all are nonlinear interactions. It corresponds also to
the adaptability of brain. In physiology these are the transforms of different receptors of special
senses for changed energy and coding. For example, fingers may have visual cells. Distances
between ear, nose and eye are closer. Their nerves may probably joint to visual system, and
produce visual effect. We may excite the corresponding auditory system by music and song, etc.
The robustness of brain may keep the whole and colligation of various sensations (hearing,
vision, etc.), and derives a unified conclusion. Usual channel of sensation systems is labeled line.
Only retina irradiated by light may produce vision, and neuron by mechanical or electric
excitations in visual channel may also produce vision, but it is distorted. Coding process and
adaptive mechanism of receptor are all very complex. For instance, the adaptation of rod and cone
is related to change of their chemical elements, and adaptive production is related to change of
some functions of synaptic transmission and sensory centre in the channel.
It corresponds to that sodium channel excited by action potential make an activation state
from standby state. Adult corresponds to no-live state, so their some functions lose.
A type of testable experiments is: Scientists may train the blinded animal, for example, a set
of young white mouse, then dissect their brain, and compare their different functions and different
results. And these results may compare with those animals lack some sense organs, as shark and
mole, etc. This test should be easy.
Children are lovely angels. Their growth is not completely to finalize the design, so their
potentials open out easily. But, it must exist in a certain threshold, i.e., the training and excitation
need a certain time. Adult growth is already to finalize the design, and various sensation systems
are sclerosis and separated, so their potentials open out hardly. But a few adult has some joints
among different sensory systems, congenial or through hard training. These may show the strong
parapsychology. It suggests a possible application for blind agedness.
Some children train together, effects are better. It corresponds possibly to the population
oscillation among neurons. There are the phenomena of synchronous oscillation among the visual
cells.
We may explore these structures of brains for trained men and some men with special
functions. Further, if we collect various postmortem brains of these men, dissections will be able
to test our hypothesis. This research is more general development in neurobiology. If this
hypothesis is affirmed, it may even undergo surgery on the joint.
Hartline nonlinear equations describe the visual lateral inhibition phenomena. The
phenomena are found not only in visual, and in hearing, feeling and other sensation systems. This
is a commonness of various sensation systems.
The hypothesis is a testable application of the nonlinear whole biology [31]. It is also a
synergetics [32-36] among different sensation systems.
This hypothesis must be based on the nonlinear whole biology [31]. Therefore, some possible
theories are nonlinear equations, network, Hodgkin-Huxley equations and so on. Hopfield
nonlinear equations [13] are:
n
dui u
Ci = i + Tij f j [u j ] + I i . (1)
dt Ri j =1
37
Here i=1,2,n, f j [u j ] is the nonlinear function. They describe the dynamic neurons. From the
equations Arbib and Amari described the network of neurons with competition and cooperation,
which has a character of winner taking all. When visual system is linearization, eye is first and
engrosses vision. By a similar Hopfield method, the dynamical behavior of neural network
combines the associated memory, and hearing, feeling, olfaction, etc., are combined to an attractor
(e.g. apple), so the same result (apple) will be observed. It is also the parallel distribution
processing (PDP) researched by Rumelhart, McClelland, Hinton, et al., in which the activation
rule and change of coupling mode are consistent.
Hartline nonlinear equations are extended, and may probably be used to vision and other
sensations, and their transformations. McCulloch-Pitts neuron network may simulate the
conditioned reflex.
Jenelia Farm Institute of HHMI studies neural circuits. Brain with neural circuit network
agrees with complicity of world, but, it may not suit a clear boundary, as blindsight. A new
nanotechnology begins make the artificial retina. In this case the neural network may produce new
joints, and may introduce nonlinear interactions.
4. Conclusion
This is the whole sensation systems, which are related by nonlinear interactions each other. It
forms possibly new dendrite for closer neurons, and forms new axon for neurons. They transmit
the corresponding electric signal to visual centre of brain, and form together a shape, which is
synthesis even from hearing, feeling and olfaction, etc. Further, not only vision, and various
sensations all may be transformation each other, and can form new joints.
If this hypothesis is validated, it will be a pierce into various sensation systems separated in
usual physiology, and be also an explanation for some strange phenomena in parapsychology,
Buddhism and various religions, etc. This may build a bridge between modern medicine and
parapsychology, and between science and religion.
In a word, our research shown the potential of blind and general children is universal, and is
independent of nation, religion and belief, etc. Exploit potential will bring benefit to mankind, in
particular, disability as a world problem by parapsychology and Chinese traditional culture.

In the Beginning:
Evolution Physics, Consciousness and Our Physical Reality
James E. Beichler, Ph.D.
Abstract: Many scientists believe that any true unification theory of physics must include a concept of
consciousness as well as a model for the mind that interprets our three-dimensionally biased and limited
sensations of the external physical/material world. And, that number is growing. The single field theory goes even
further than that, in fact, well beyond the simple notion of mind and consciousness as mere human bound
perceivers and interpreters of the external material/physical world by placing the physical origin of consciousness
within every geometrical point in the universe itself. Although full blown consciousness itself is not everywhere
in the three-dimensional universeit is not a property of every bit of matter we observe or event that we detectthe
universal will for consciousness to emerge in all forms of life is everywhere, point-by-point in the universe. This
physical model of creation clearly demonstrates that the precursors to our experience of consciousness are
fundamental elements and active participants in creating the physical world that we perceive and scientifically
interpret through the evolution, revolution and application of physics and science.
Introduction
Intuitives are often the very people who have intimately and directly experienced consciousness, giving
them the ability to access consciousness directly at later times. They are typically Near Death Experiencers
(NDErs), people who have reached mystical enlightenment and other higher states of consciousness through other
means, although a greater number of people have had similar experiences that changed them mentally (rewired
their neural nets in a beneficial manner) without ever consciously realizing it. They generally believe that
consciousness is an active participant in creating our world rather than just deciding between choices our world
offers to us. Their views of the role of consciousness with regard to the inner workings of the world in general
greatly differ from those of ordinary people and especially scientists.
Even the word intuition has been looked down upon in science as recently as a few decades ago. Scientists
consider their own strictly logical worldview above reproach, believing their insights have been and are presently
based upon strict and accurate observations of the external world around them. In general, most scientists have
looked down upon all types of intuitive knowledge and have obstinately refused to consider intuitive knowledge
of consciousness and how it works in relation to the world as a whole. They view intuitive data with suspicion, as
no more than anecdotal evidence without any scientific validity. Yet intuitive knowledge of the world, anecdotal
or not, can provide valid observations of consciousness and how consciousness interacts with the world at large.
So to those few scientists willing to seriously consider information from intuitives, knowledge of the world that
did not come from direct observation of the world, it can seem to them as though conservative scientists are
missing a large part of the world in their theoretical models. Conservative scientists also seem overly biased if not
acting completely in an unscientific manner within the broader meaning and context of science itself by
neglecting all intuitive knowledge out-of-hand.
The intuitive Sperry Andrews [1,2] has proposed a speculative theory of how everything in the world
originated from nothing and how such theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics might account for a
conscious universe if not a fully developed or developing Consciousness space. Andrews has suggested that the
solution to the consciousness question can be found in Bernhard Riemanns original conception of (spaces)
surfaces with metric curvature, since an n-dimensional space is embedded in an n+1 dimensional manifold all
three-dimensional points are united at one point in the four-dimensional embedding space or manifold. His
41
suggested geometrical model corresponds to the Riemannian geometry of a three-dimensional double-polar
spherical surface or space embedded in a four-dimensional single-polar spherical manifold (space) as specified in
the single field theory. In the case where n = 0, the 0-D point (point with twist in single field theory), which still
represents a dimensionless Void, could still be embedded and common to all lower- and higher-dimensional
Riemannian spaces.
42
The real existence of the fifth dimension of space as an embedding dimension for our common four-dimensional
space-time of experience and the single field density structures that constitute other potential fields, material
bodies and life, mind, and consciousness implies a further sixth embedding dimension whose geometry and
physical characteristics are yet to be specified.
The sixth embedding dimension could possibly be the place where a Cosmic Consciousness, universal
collective Consciousness or Consciousness space exists that could directly affect and influence all of space-time
in the manner suggested by Andrews, [9] Federico Faggin [10] and others. It is also possible, given the single
field model of consciousness, that any such hypothetical and idealistic Consciousness space is presently a
partially filled cup that is slowly being filled by evolving consciousnesses, such as human consciousness, within
our space-time continuum, i.e., Consciousness space is the ideal or possible future state toward which our
universe as a whole is evolving. The universe is just getting to know and understand itself, through us and other
sentient beings.
Individual consciousness
At the other end of the matter spectrum, material bodies can be represented in the single field theory as
complex matter/energy pattern (a three-dimensional curved surface that undulates over time) structures of
quantized curvature pattern. They can be likened to four-dimensional holograms that are projected onto our
Riemannian three-dimensional surface or space as our sensed and mentally interpreted physical/material reality.
Within this relativistic context, mind can be modeled as a corresponding three-dimensional complex electric field
pattern structure within the quantized curvature pattern structure called animate matter. Mind, as such, is
ephemeral and would disappear (decohere or destabilize) after a few moments as individual electrical potentials
neutralized or canceled each other out, positive for negative, unless some higher level permanent pattern
structure were not at work to lend more than temporary stability and even permanence to the electrical field
patterns that constitute the action of mind. Such a higher level pattern structure could only be magnetic in nature
according to electromagnetic theory.
The individual consciousness of a living being could only could only be physically modeled by the multi-
leveled magnetic (domain) pattern structure made up of vector potential points in three-dimensional space that
extend into the fourth dimension of space. Every living organism has a consciousness, not just humans and other
highly evolved animals, and that consciousness extends into the higher embedding dimension of our commonly
experienced four-dimensional space-time. It represents each living organisms own unique experiential existence
within the material/physical context of the whole three-dimensional universe.
The scientific theories that we use to explain our external physical/material three-dimensional world and how
it varies over time are constructed within the mental context provided by our mind and consciousness, which are
themselves products of the physical structure of the same world which is being perceived. Only consciousness
differs radically enough (at the local level) in its individual structure from the overall physical/material structure
of the world (the non-local level) that consciousness could only be a physical (and non-material) extension in the
higher-dimensional embedding space. Only a consciousness of this type could think of its self separate enough
from the material world to interpret and abstract the whole physical/material world while still remaining part of
that physical/material world.
In the end, the central problem of all physics is that our minds, limited by their present level of
consciousness, interpret our world (space-time) as either point- or extension-based at the most fundamental level
of reality. But physical space is one, neither point- nor extension-based alone, but actually neither and/or both
simultaneously, a fact with which our minds cannot presently deal. That duality is also beyond direct
understanding at the present three-dimensional level of theoretical physics, and physics is merely a logical
abstraction of reality that reflects the way we experience, interact with and thus commonly think of our world. Yet
unifying this duality is the key to understanding the unification of physics and the single field model, as well as
how to demonstrate that evolution and ultimately higher levels of consciousness are as natural to our world as
43
light, matter and energy. Quite clearly, our mental picture of the world is three-dimensionally biased due to our
simple three-dimensional sensations of the physical world and the three-dimensionality of our minds and brains.
This duality is a product of our brain/mind that only a pure reference to consciousness and its higher-
dimensional reality can ultimately resolve as a unity. We intuitively perceive three-dimensional space as a unitary
or holistic conceptual thing, not as the dualistic reducible thing that geometry and logic tell us it is. So the
unresolved problems of unifying physics naturally come back to consciousness and its interpretative relationship
with the natural world we perceive and how the natural world is represented by a particular geometrical model of
space and time. We should never project our mental and philosophical biases onto the world in our attempts to
understand how nature works. This means that nature tells us that the quantum and relativity are not incompatible
as has long been thought, but are in fact totally and completely compatible and ready to be unified when properly
understood.
44
matter, light and energy were first created, no reason existed for life and animate matter (organisms) to eventually
emerge, except by chance, was evident according to normal science.
The newly modified Riemannian geometry that models unification in physics starts with the discrete 0-D
point/twist Void as a Riemannian point-element. From this nothing of zero dimension, our three-dimensional
matter/field/energy physical reality came into being after the potential of the single field formed in the four-
dimensional embedding space. While this geometry accounts for and describes the creation of the four-
dimensional space-time continuum, it also accounts for the dynamical substantiality of our world that is solely a
product of single field potential, and not some form of energy as required by both classical and modern quantum
theory. The twist portion of the three-dimensional discrete 0-D point/twist Void maintains and guarantees the
integrity of this fundamental unit of moment-to-moment re-creation as it creates the virtual torques (pre-force)
in the fourth spatial dimension, which are collectively the precursors for the potential and anti-potential of the
single field.
These new 0-D point/twist Voids (two in each direction) would form as equal but opposite reactions to any action
implied by the desire or need of the original 0-D point/twist Void to completely collapse, or implode, back
into the absolute Void as this would be prevented by the twist. Yet each newly created 0-D point/twist Void
would feel the same desire to collapse and thus start a whole new round of duplication in all four dimensions
of space, all within the next moment of time. This process would continue, literally ad infinitum, to create our
present universe and its future.
45
The twist not only stabilizes each new duplicate 0-D point/twist Void that is created during expansion, it
guarantees the discreteness of geometrical points in physical space. It also creates a virtual torsion in the three-
dimensional space (sometimes referred to as torsion space by other physicists) surrounding each and every
point. So all discrete geometrical points that constitute our real perceived four-dimensional space-time
continuum are discrete 0-D point/twist Voids wishing to collapse back into the absolute Void, but they are
prevented from doing so since they are stabilized and rendered discrete in a dynamic equilibrium by their twist.
The virtual torsion it creates in three-dimensional space also accounts for the point-centered nature of
magnetism and gravnetism in the later evolving material universe.
Since each and every 0-D point/twist Void duplicates itself four-dimensionally with virtual torques in the
fourth direction of space, a complete three-dimensional surface of space duplicates itself with new parallel three-
dimensional surfaces on both sides of each three-dimensional surface every moment of time that passes. This
(action/reaction) co-creative process repeats itself over and over again and thus leads to an explosive expansion
(commonly called cosmic inflation) in all four dimensions of space. This process will continue forever, but after
the first infinite number of moments have passed true measurable extensions of space (length, area and volume)
and time (duration) will have formed. By the time this happens, an infinite number of parallel three-dimensional
surfaces (each smaller than the last as they are placed further away from the primary three-dimensional surface of
our experiential universe) have also formed in the closed (single-polar spherical) fourth dimension. Quantized
groups of these parallel three-dimensional surfaces constitute the theoretical sheets that extend like stacked
pages in a book in the fourth direction of space in the single field theory. Only at that moment does the Big Bang
clock predicted by general relativity begin ticking.
The first 10-36 seconds after measurability begins, which cosmologists wrongly speak of as the shortest
amount of time after the initial singularity event, would not even take into account the infinite number of
moments before measurability developed. During this time and after, the expansion explosively sextupled the
size of the universe in each of its four spatial dimensions to create cosmic inflation. During cosmic inflation the
larger part (volume) of our universe could have expanded at more than the speed of light, but that is a ridiculous
notion since there was not yet any speed of light nor anything else but that which was virtual, semi-physical or
just plain potential which could later become something physical and/or material. So, the bottom line is that an
infinite amount of time had passed (a few infinites of moments) before time became measurable by the
predictions of general relativity, which is based solely upon a Riemannian metric-only geometry and thus
incomplete if not inaccurate on this matter. The creation of the singularity, as predicted by general relativity thus
occurred an infinite amount of time into our past.
The virtual torques in the fourth dimension collectively emerged as pure physical potential only in the last
moment before the event that ended cosmic inflation began. The pure potential that these virtual torques
collectively formed was neither energy nor matter, but the potential to later (during and after the cosmic inflation
ending event) form matter, energy and light (the first electromagnetic waves) according to both the quantum and
geometric restrictions of the space-time continuum. No energy existed before the period of cosmic inflation
ended, just as there was no speed of light since the electromagnetic and gravito-gravnetic fields had not yet
formed (in and around the first material particles) as internal particle stresses and their resulting spatial strains due
to the newly quantized curvature of the four-dimensional space-time continuum.
The explosive expansion of cosmic inflation continued until an as yet undefined moment when either
quantum anomalies, some form of anomalous single field fluctuations, or geometric conditions caused a blow-
out at some points in the balloon-like expanding three-dimensional surface of our universe accompanied by
creation of the gravito-gravnetic and electromagnetic fields. These blow-out points formed the first protons after
the surface (sheet) counteracted and closed (or capped) them off. No anti-particles were created during the Big
Blowout (which is why they have not been observed or detected by science) since the blow-outs were all toward
the favored direction (outward for positively curved surfaces) of the fourth dimension instead of inward. The
emergence of protons did not completely end inflation and a second round of almost or near blowouts, creating
46
electrons and then free neutrinos, all but finished cosmic inflation. Everything physical and material that we
normally associate with our universe emerged or was created by the Big Blowout. Even the Cosmic Microwave
Background (CMB) emerged at this time in a process similar to the modern process of sonoluminescence. As the
0-D point/twist Voids in the surfaces were compactified and space became denser, the continuously squeezed 0-
D point/twist Voids reacted by emitting a single particular resonance frequency of electromagnetic waves in the
microwave range, like the resonance of a bell when struck by a hammer, to form the CMB.
In other words, the universe itself is imbued with a potential for the emergence of consciousness in every
infinitesimal geometrical discrete point from which it is constructed. This structural property or quality could be
47
described as a Consciousness space, universal collective Consciousness, cosmic Consciousness, or even an
absolute space that could be characterized as the sensorium of God, as Isaac Newton described it. Technically,
all of these descriptive words work with the concept to one extent or another and only a better and more advanced
physical theory can distinguish between them or offer a better alternative than the single field theory.
48
Even the hallmark concept of point/extension duality, upon which single field theory is based, has a special
place when comparing physical/material reality to intuitive and even spiritual thought. The age old paradox of the
duality between transcendence and immanence of God, highly debated in the Middle Ages of European history,
now finds its resolution in single field physics. The duality reduces to nothing more than a misunderstanding of
how Consciousness, whatever it may eventually signify, manifests itself in our real material world. The debate
over transcendence and/or immanence is no more than another facet of the relationship between extension- and
point-geometries (metric-element/point-element, relativity/quantum or continuous/discrete) that has served no less
than to befuddle (derail attempted unification) and mystify physics over the last century.
Any apparent duality in nature, such as this, is resolvable since nature is a unitary and not a dualistic or
multiple thing. Nature is a whole and singular thing. The duality comes from our mental misinterpretation of
nature, rather than nature itself, so it can always be resolved at a higher level of consciousness which is more in
tune with nature. Just as a universal or Cosmic Consciousness can be both transcendent and immanent, it can
manifest itself in two different ways through the 0-D point/twists from which our physical reality initially
emerged or as an overarching guiding influence both for and within the universe as a whole.
In common physics the interaction of a potential field (gravity, electric or magnetic) and a piece of matter
can be interpreted in terms of a force or an energy, which are themselves intimately related through the work-
energy theorem. The action or influence of the pre-consciousness potential field (which is the precursor of
individual consciousness) on matter can also be interpreted with respect to both of these physical concepts. It can
only influence matter because it is a semi-physical field, but it cannot move or accelerate matter as can a fully
physical field. When animate matter interacts with the pre-consciousness potential, it can be interpreted as a
force such as the evolutionary force that causes an organism to seek higher and higher levels of consciousness
(a transcendent or holistic interaction) through biological evolution.
Conclusion
In reality our experienced universe is filled with a seemingly infinite number of individual consciousness
pattern structures and that number is growing all the time, both in complexity and quality (qualia). So it would
seem that the universe as a whole must be evolving toward a point in time when it will become aware of itself, if
that moment has not already arrived, given the simple fact that both life and consciousness continually evolve by
moving toward greater complexity within the universe. So it is safe to logically (and even scientifically) conclude
that a universal or cosmic Consciousness is an evolutionary endpoint, either individually or collectively, and
probably both, without our direct experiential or observable knowledge of that possibility. Hence, idealistic
models that posit a separately existing Consciousness space or cosmic Consciousness are not just metaphysical
50
and/or speculative, but at least scientifically legitimate to one degree or another depending on their own inherent
scientific practicality as logical descriptions of a possible and perhaps even probable ideal or future state of the
universe.
In Andrews original model, the point-centered dimensions of our (commonly experienced) three-
dimensional physical space are emergent properties of a spaceless-timeless Void. Every point-centered process
would therefore emerge from a 0-D embedding dimension corresponding to the quantum point at the origin of the
space-time diagram. This notion of a six-dimensional embedding manifold could also be related to a cosmic
consciousness, collective consciousness, super consciousness or even more specific models such as Faggins
concept of C-space as well as other more speculative theoretical models. It could even be related to metaphysical
models and those that deal with spiritual matters such as the Tao, Great Spirit, Demiurge, Brahman and/or Ein
Sof. A universal collective consciousness of this type that acts through each and every point in our three-
dimensional space of experienced reality could easily correspond to the implied sixth embedding dimension of the
single field theory. In other words, the universe is conscious, if for no other reason than because consciousness
can and does exist within the universe and it is constantly growing toward greater consciousness of itself through
its parts, i.e., humans such as us.

With this approach, there is no DNA determinism. And, DNA (or RNA) does not equal life.
Instead, they are kind of like memory molecules, where memory itself can get rewritten (like the
metaphor of time-lines). DNA appears deterministic of many of our traits, in that we will often
develop a genetically coded trait no matter what environment we develop in.
However, if we take stem cells or cells in culture, being very careful to clone them - as soon as
we put them in culture, we still get chromosomal abnormalities and mutants. This would suggest
that the organism, as a whole, is part of keeping everything in us as stable.
Its the whole system. Its almost like a field, a field that keeps both the field and
the shape of the organism intact.
Mae-Wan Ho:
Science has called this organizational process by many different names; developmental
biologists have long referred to it as a morphogenetic field. It is a holistic influence, best studied
using a holographic model of the universe. It can be thought of as a causal field. This is one
reason why neo-Darwinism is not equipped to explain such aspects in life.
These holistic causal fields are produced by genes, and are almost certainly the result of
natural selection, that acts to keep development on track, and to suppress those aspects that
could throw things out of whack.
52
The Science of Electrons having Consciousness:
Science is now attempting to define this as a quantum coherent system. It is a circular
thermodynamic system that can reproduce. If we look at water, the physics of life depends on
water in a very fundamental way. Water has all the characteristics of consciousness; it is very
sensitive, flexible and responds to light.
This concept began with Alfred North Whiteheads idea that electrons have consciousness.
Whitehead was a really important philosopher and mathematician. He had the idea that you
cannot really understand nature except as an organism, and with the sensitivity of an organism.
To Whitehead everything in nature was an organism to varying degrees, from electrons and
fundamental particles to galaxies.
By definition, if an electron responds to something, that would suggest that the electron was
aware of that thing. For example, an electron shooting through space will move in a straight
line. However, if a magnet placed near the electron, the magnetic field will alter the path of the
electron causing the electron to move in a different direction.
Was the electron aware of the magnetic field? YES because we can observe that the magnets
field altered the path of the electrons movement.
However, if some music was played as the electron was moving through that field, the music will
not affect the movement of the electron. Therefore, the electron is not responding to the music.
53
We might then say that the electron was not aware of the music, which by definition means,
the electron may not be conscious of the music.
Where we have organs to carry out a function, a cell has organelles (miniature organs) carrying
out the same functions. In fact, there is NO new function in a human body that is not already
expressed by cells. Every system we have, e.g., digestive, respiratory, excretory, reproductive,
nervous, and immune system, is present in every cell.
54
Interestingly, the same mechanisms used by a cell to carry out its behaviors are the very same
mechanisms at the heart of our human systems that carry out the same behaviors. A simple truth
is that we are made in the image of our own cells. That is why research on cell mechanisms
can apply to us for they are directly related to the same mechanisms used in the human body.
In a sense, our cells created us! Cellular technology is far more sophisticated than anything
humans have been able to come up with.
The emerging science of biomimicry extrapolates what nature has used to adapt and survive, and
applies that mastery to our human world. Biomimicry is a new discipline in biology that uses
natures best ideas to solve problems. Animals, plants and microbes have found what works, and
we can learn from them.

Microtubules
Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton, found throughout the cytoplasm. These
tubular polymers of tubulin can grow as long as 50 micrometres and are highly dynamic. The
outer diameter of a microtubule is about 24 nm while the inner diameter is about 12 nm. They
are found in eukaryotic cells, as well as some Bacteria, and are formed by the polymerization of
a dimer of two globular proteins, alpha and beta tubulin.
Microtubules are very important in a number of cellular processes. They are involved in
maintaining the structure of the cell and, together with microfilaments and intermediate
filaments, they form the cytoskeleton. They also make up the internal structure of cilia and
flagella.
They provide platforms for intracellular transport and are involved in a variety of cellular
processes, including the movement of secretory vesicles, organelles, and intracellular
macromolecular assemblies (see entries for dynein and kinesin). They are also involved in
chromosome separation (mitosis and meiosis), and are the major constituents of mitotic spindles,
which are used to pull apart eukaryotic chromosomes.
56
Microtubules are nucleated and organized by microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs), such as
the centrosome found in the center of many animal cells or the basal bodies found in cilia and
flagella, or the spindle pole bodies found in fungi.
There are many proteins that bind to microtubules, including the motor proteins kinesin and
dynein, severing proteins like katanin, and other proteins important for regulating microtubule
dynamics.
Figure 4: Just as our bodies rely on bones for structural support, our cells rely on
a cellular skeleton. In addition to helping cells keep their shape, this cytoskeleton
transports material within cells and coordinates cell division. Microtubules are
shown here as thin strands

LIGHT MODULATION

1 INTRODUCTION
The Light Modulation process uses a new type of light control algorithm, allowing the creation of
a class of lighting effects hitherto difficult - or impossible - to realize. This algorithm is based on a
structure of LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) combining to create light intensity and color
modulation, i.e. cyclic variations controlled by the oscillators.
In essence, this process applies to light the type of modulation algorithms that have long been
used for sound in sound synthesizers.
The Light Modulation process introduced here was developed and refined by Anadi A. Martel over
the last 10 years, and is now owned by Sensortech Inc. The basic principle for the process is
contained in our patents: Light Color And Intensity Modulation System (1991 US #5,070,399
and 1992 Canada #2,009,302-1). While this basic principle is simple, it has been substantially
refined in order to lead to practical products.
The main challenge lies in the proper design of multi-LFO modulation structures, and in the
optimization and synchronization of the numerous control parameters driving the modulation
LFOs. As with successful sound synthesizer designs, this achievement required a long and patient
development involving many cycles. Our typical Light Modulation Controller now uses more than
100 control parameters, organized into an efficient architecture allowing the creation of rich,
complex synchronized light patterns.
2 PHYSICAL IMPLEMENTATION
A Light Modulation Controller normally generates light patterns through an array of light projectors,
grouped in triads of primary colors: typically (though not exclusively) Red, Green and Blue. In a
typical implementation it can control up to 10 such triads (which we will call Groups), for a total of
30 individual light projectors. This will normally be done through an industry-standard DMX-512
output, driving digital Power Dimmers.
The Light Modulation Controller achieves color modulation through additive color synthesis, i.e. by
combining in various proportions the 3 primary colors light output from the 3 projectors of each
Group. Note that in a typical implementation the Controller only generates saturated colors (the
pure colors of the rainbow), therefore only using a combination of 2 primary colors at the same
time.
For proper operation, the 3 projectors of each Group therefore need to be illuminating the same
spot, as illustrated in Figure 1. An efficient way (though not the only one) to achieve this result is to
use tri-color lightheads (or Color Changers), which internally mix 3 primary color light sources.
Normally, the Groups of projectors in the array will be installed in a row, with the light spot from
adjacent Groups slightly merging, so as to form a "wall of light". This is illustrated in Figure 2, using
an example with 5 adjacent projector Groups. The Light Modulation Controller can then create
remarkable patterns over the projection surface by synchronizing the output of all Groups into a
coherent whole.
Naturally, special applications deviating from this standard projector configuration can also be
created.

3 SPECIFICITY OF LIGHT MODULATION EFFECTS
A regular Lighting Controller is optimized to design, store and recall specific static light
configurations consisting of set intensity levels for all light projectors: this function is and remains
essential for professional stage lighting.
In contrast, a Light Modulation Controller is adapted to the generation of dynamic light patterns,
seemingly alive and in perpetual motion. It will therefore not replace the regular Lighting Controller,
but will best be used for occasional spectacular special effects overlapping and complementing
the main, static lighting patterns.
Also, in order to achieve their full potential Light Modulation effects require a specific configuration:
some form of background screen together with an array of adjacent groups of primary colors
projectors.

5 THE SENSORA: AN EXISTING LIGHT MODULATION CONTROLLER
The Light Modulation process was originally developed as a central part of a revolutionary multi-
sensorial installation called the Sensora. The Sensora is a high-technology relaxation room, a kind
of magical space where one can lie down on a special transducer chair and be surrounded in an
exquisite environment of 3-D sound and pure colors.
Designed by a team combining scientific, artistic and therapeutic expertise, the Sensora targets
Health Centers, Spas, high-end Resorts, More information can be found on the web site
www.sensora.com.
In the Sensora, a Light Modulation Controller generates light patterns projected on a
hemispherical screen covering the users field of vision. In this application they are optimized to
lead the user to a state of deep relaxation. Sensortech Inc. has a demo installation of the Sensora
near Montral (Canada), which you are welcome to visit to gain first-hand experience of Light
Modulation effects.

Can the Mokele-Mbembe be real?
in Southern Cameroon
by Wojciech Bobilewicz
64
E yewitness accounts and circumstantial evidence may potentially support claims of
the existence, in the tropical African forest, including south-eastern Cameroon, of
a large, semi-aquatic animal. Could modern research methods and equipment
corroborate any of these claims?
According to native and foreign eyewitness testimony, and based on circumstantial evidence, there
may exist, in the vast area of the Congo Basin, including south-eastern parts of Cameroon, an animal
which in shape, if not size, is reminiscent of a long-extinct sauropod dinosaur such
as the brontosaurus or apatosaurus. The purpose of this article is to: a) deliver arguments that the
existence of such an animal is likely, and b) find an answer to a question whether, using modern
search equipment and with a proper research method, it may be possible to discover such an animal
for modern science. The article does not aim to answer the question regarding the probability
of survival of sauropods (living fossils) up to modern times, neither is its purpose to ascertain what
family, genus, or species the animal, commonly known (from the Lingala language) the Mokele-
Mbembe, belongs to; the latter may only be found out with further expeditions and research.
* * *
Descriptions by a number of direct eyewitnesses (including also a few European and/or American
ones)1 invariably point to the existence, deep in the forests of West Africa, but most notably near
rivers, lakes and swamps, of a sauropod-looking creature, with bulbous body, a long giraffe-like neck
tapering into a small snake-like head, an equally long and massive tail, and stumpy legs (akin to those
of elephants or hippos) equipped with claws at least on fore legs. According to descriptions, its skin
is greyish-brown, covered in scales, and some accounts mention also dermal frills along the length
of its neck and body2. Even though the animal is said to be solely herbivore (its most favourite plant
being wild apricot or wild peach, of the landolphia species, called "malombo" in the Likouala
language or "mubongo" in the Bemba language3), it is also said to be extremely territorial, and
in defence of its territory it may kill, although not devour, elephants, hippos and humans. Further
testimonies also conclude that the Mokele-Mbembe is mostly active during the rainy season, as well
as in the periods directly preceding or following the rainy season, and that during the dry season they
burrow inside self-made caves in high river-banks in the sharp river-bends; apparently they seal the
entrances and either hibernate or give birth to the young ones (or lay eggs)4.

of researchers led by Dr William Gibbons, there are numerous references to observations made by non-natives. Accounts

Modern-day, mainstream, science asserts that the existence of any surviving species of a dinosaur
is highly unlikely, and that [...] it seems unlikely the creature exists, since there would have to be
a significant number of the huge creatures to continue to produce descendents after all other
dinosaurs were extinguished some 70 million years ago [...].5 The skepticblog website further
asserts that the existence of such a large animal, and especially of a surviving sauropod, would be
implausible, if not improbable, due to population constraints, the existence of modern aerial
technology which should make it possible to spot such animals, and, finally, the fossil record.6 The
same blog, as well as a number of statements made by sceptics or mainstream scientists, proclaim
that some of the most prominent proponents of the existence of the animal and its affiliation with
dinosaurs, most notably Dr William Gibbons, are supporters of co-called creationism which, in its
views, stands in stark opposition to the widely-accepted theory of evolution.7 Some others, such as
Brian Switek of Smithsonian.com, claim that [...] while visiting explorers often use the term Mokele-
mbembe to refer to a supposed dinosaur or similar animal, the word can also refer to something that
is not real or has no physical manifestation.8 Yet others, for example Redmond OHanlon, claim the
stories about the sauropod African animal are nothing more but a myth and that the animal, while
certainly described by the locals, is only part of that myth, and definitely not a tangible, physical,
creature.9
I will endeavour now to refute the above claims and to show that they are ungrounded or, at best,
exaggerated.
o o o
Let me begin with the most common claim made by sceptics and mainstream scientists, namely that
the prospect of a living sauropod that has survived to our times is highly unlikely and even ridiculous.
The fallacy of such a statement is that no-one, including so-called creationists (and certainly one
of the major Mokele-Mbembe researchers, William (Bill) Gibbons), claims that the Mokele-Mbembe
MUST be a dinosaur of any sort. The fact that local dwellers of villages and settlements scattered
throughout the jungle indicate the brontosaurus or the apatosaurus as most closely RESEMBLING the
Mokele-Mbembe, does not necessarily imply that the animal is, in fact a dinosaur. As long as the
creature is not photographed and/or filmed first (in high-resolution for the avoidance of any doubt),
and then captured (or at least DNA samples are not taken), we are in the dark as to what family,
genus or species it belongs to. It may as well be a reptile, amphibian or mammal as yet unknown
to science. Its discovery would be no less exciting, and no less enlightening, than finding a living
fossil of any kind. In fact, Gibbons himself confirms the above reservations by saying: Can we say
with absolute certainty that Mokele-mbembe is without any doubt a living dinosaur? The answer
in all honesty is no. The animal may look like a dinosaur, but that does not make it one, although
this is the most popular theory regarding the possible identity of the creature.10

In conclusion, while looking for the Mokele-Mbembe, one definitely should not focus on the fossil
sauropod theory.
On the other hand, however, when local inhabitants, in areas separated by hundreds of miles of the
jungle, both in Congo and in Cameroon, where shown images depicting various animals, both
modern and extinct, both African and non-African, for obvious reasons they could not identify any
of the creatures living in, e.g., America. Moreover, they were unfamiliar with animals living
elsewhere in Africa in entirely different habitats (i.e. in the desert, scrublands or savannah) and even
the giraffe was not familiar to all of them as it inhabits the northern, much drier, regions of the
continent. They were, however, very well familiar with such animals as hippopotami or elephants
and they never mistook them for any other creature. When they were shown images of such
dinosaurs as the brontosaurus or apatosaurus bona fide sauropods they consistently recognised
them as an animal to which they ascribe different names relative to their language and location, but
which is generically called the Mokele-Mbembe. If the said animal is NOT a dinosaur (something
that, in fact, both the mainstream science and independent researchers seem to eventually agree
upon, although the level of certainty regarding this matter may vary), then what IS it? Again, this
question cannot be answered adequately without first the photographic evidence, and then,
possibly, DNA research of the Mokele-Mbembe.
o o o
I would like now to refer to the arguments proposed by scepticblog. To re-cap, the arguments are
as follows:
a) that for the Mokele-Mbembe to survive, there would have to be a sizeable population
of them and that there would have to be a plethora of skeletal remains and carcasses, many
of which should have been discovered by now;
b) that even though they are rumoured to be semi-aquatic, Mokele-Mbembes could not stay
underwater indefinitely, and as such, they would be visible and detectable by aerial surveys;
c) that the African fossil record of the past 65 million years (since dinosaurs became extinct)
shows a lot of fossil record for ancient mammals but not a single fossilized bone
of a dinosaur.
As regards point a), we need to remember that eyewitness accounts of encounters with,
or observations of, animals whose appearance is similar or identical to that of the Mokele-Mbembe
come not just from southern Cameroon or northern Congo, in fact not just from the Congo Basin, but
from a huge area encompassing Nigeria and Central African Republic in the north, and Zimbabwe and
Angola in the south, Gabon in the west, and Uganda and Tanzania in the east. To cite Dr William
Gibbons: First of all, we are dealing with a vast area, comprising of 800,000 square miles
of seasonally inundated swamp, forest, rivers and lakes. Surprisingly little of this area has been
explored. Indeed, Gabon is still 80% unexplored and the Likouala Swamps of the Republic of the
Congo still remains largely untouched. In my [] book [Mokele-Mbembe: Mystery Beast of the
Congo Basin, Coachwhip Publications, February 2010, W.B.] I have catalogued reports
of dinosaur like long necked animals inhabiting the swamps, rivers and lakes of the Central African
Republic, Sudan, Uganda and Zambia. Since 1963, Mokele-Mbembes have been reported
in the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa), Gabon,
67
Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and the Central African Republic. They are populated (collectively)
by over 59,589,631 people, speaking a total of 729 different ethnic and tribal languages.11
Bearing in mind such a huge area, it comes as no surprise that even a sizeable population of large
animals could survive relatively unnoticed and rarely seen.
When it comes to point c) above, as it has been earlier clarified, there is a probability, perhaps even
certainty, that the Mokele-Mbembe is not a bona-fide dinosaur, but rather a hitherto unknown
species, most likely a reptile, possibly a mammal. If such presumptions are correct (something that
can only be ascertained by direct, in-the-field, observations and by collecting some tissue samples for
DNA testing), then obviously the fact that dinosaurs became extinct approximately 65 million years
ago and that their fossilised bones are not found in the fossil record after that time has absolutely no
bearing upon the existence of the Mokele-Mbembe.
o o o
Let us now have a look at declarations made by sceptics and mainstream scientists referring
to affiliation of some of the researchers, notably Dr William (Bill) Gibbons, with so-called creationists.
It seems that this particular point is the cause for alert for sceptics and scientists alike, as creationist
views seem to be in stark opposition to generally accepted evolutionary discourse.
While it is true that some of previous expedition members profess creationist values, and some
do belong in creationist organisations, such as the Institute for Creation Research, this fact alone
by no means depreciates the research methods undertaken by those, as well as other, researchers.
Even though the ultimate goal of creationists may be an attempt to disprove evolution (something

of a rather daunting task), the research methods applied, and most notably the fieldwork in
an attempt to prove the existence of the animal, in no way differs from similar attempts that
evolutionists may undertake if only they had some willingness and courage to do so. Given that in
order to conduct any further research on the morphology, behavioural patterns, genetics, taxonomy
etc. the animals existence would have to be confirmed first, and confirmed unequivocally, even
before it is ascertained whether or not it may be any sauropod at all, they do just that, in an attempt
to capture the animal, and possibly also its behavioural or feeding patterns, on camera. By the way,
accusations made by mainstream science that individuals who have ever embarked on an expedition
in search of the Mokele-Mbembe lack any scientific degrees relevant to the research area, fall short
of significance and gravity bearing in mind that the purpose of those who venture out to the jungle is
not to conduct detailed research into what the Mokele-Mbembe actually is, how it feeds and
reproduces, what other animals it may be related to, etc., but only to prove, by way of crystal-clear,
sharp, high-definition photo and video recordings, that the animal does indeed exist. Surely, it does
not take a scientific degree, and certainly not that of Professor or Doctor, to document the Mokele-
Mbembe in such a way to pave way for further scientific investigation.
o o o
Another argument put forward by sceptics and mainstream scientists, argument that like any other
prevents them, it seems, from undertaking any serious research on the elusive animal, is that is not
real and has no physical manifestation. Rather than opposing that statement, let me quote, again,
Dr William (Bill) Gibbons: If Mokele-mbembe was a mere mythical animal, it would be confined
to one particular ethnic or cultural group, and would not be so widely known by different tribal
names.13 And further: To answer those sceptics who claim that Mokele-Mbembe is a mythical
animal, it is obvious that they have never set foot in Africa. If this animal was a mythical
reconstruction, it would be confined to one particular cultural group. Similar animals have been
reported by a dozen different ethnic and cultural groups throughout the Congo Basin countries. They
all have different names for them, but the descriptions remain almost exactly the same.14 It would
only be fitting to add that, indeed, some tribes and villages, notably those inhabiting northern Congo
around Lake Tele, ascribe certain mythical properties to the Mokele-Mbembe; it is quite likely that
they even perceive the creature as a spiritual being. However, to counter-balance that statement,
it is justifiable to add that unlike their neighbours, the Pygmies on the Cameroonian side of the
border refer to the animal as a very real, tangible, physical entity without any mystical or mythical
properties. If the Mokele-Mbembe has no physical manifestation, then it would be an interesting
experiment for anthropologists to witness accounts of a mythical creature which is described
in detail as having a distinctive body, dermal spikes (but only on some specimens!), scale-covered
skin, very specific diet, etc.
o o o
It is my hope that I was able to put forward sufficiently convincing argumentation which renders that
of sceptics and mainstream scientists irrelevant or invalid. It is my strong conviction that based
on circumstantial evidence and logical reasoning, as well as numerous accounts gathered over
decades from direct eyewitnesses and their relatives a hitherto unknown large animal inhabits
13

69
deep, dark forests of the entire Congo Basin, and, possibly, areas far beyond that region. It is also my
conviction that it is only a matter of time before the Mokele-Mbembe is captured on video or photo.
o o o
While currently we need to be content with and appreciate eyewitness accounts, with each new one
increasing the chance for a real encounter and deepening our knowledge about the creature, there
do exist photographs, notably taken by Yvan Ridel in 196615 and Michel Ballot in 201416 and in 2016,17
of strange, three-toed and clawed feet which have not been identified by the locals as belonging
to any known animal, including monitor lizards, hippos or elephants. Moreover, on at least several
occasions, expedition members within the last decade or two, could hear distinct, growling-roaring
sounds that the locals actually asserted were made by the mokele-mbembe. Finally, long, serpent-
like shapes were found by sonars used by some expeditions, and when expedition members found
some claw-like shape made in a steep river-bank, and extracted the cast of it by scraping a machete
against its surface, they could hear, very clearly and only from several feet away, a similar scraping
sound coming from within some hollow space, as if made by some living creature.18
o o o
All of the above, as mentioned, may only be partial or corroborating evidence, but is not a decisive
proof for the existence of the Mokele-Mbembe (or, in fact, any other so-called cryptid). While there
are accounts, from both local inhabitants and from foreign visitors, missionaries, traders
or researchers, of having seen the animal in part (never in its entirety), nobody has yet managed
to photograph or film the animal. This is partly due to the fact that cameras are not at hand
(especially true in the case of the locals). However, to a large extent this is also a result of two other
factors. Namely, most of previous expeditions did not have at their disposal modern research and
observation equipment; moreover, the time they spent at any given location was relatively short.
Given our current (albeit scant) knowledge about the animal, and based on eyewitness accounts
as well as indirect evidence, let us pose now a question on the probability of discovering the Mokele-
Mbembe should such equipment be secured.
Since first expeditions set out in search of the cryptic creature in 1930s, each consecutive group
of researchers have employed increasingly novel appliances in their quest to locate, and
subsequently film and/or photograph, the animal. However, it is only now, in the second decade
of the 21st century, that we have at our disposal state-of-the-art technology which dramatically
increase chances for success. Such equipment include: (a) drone(s), a sonar, a thermal camera,
movement-activated cameras, communication and location devices. With such equipment at hand,
it may be possible to survey the surroundings virtually all day and night. The drone, equipped with
a thermal camera, could be used to patrol a relatively large area from above, thus detecting any
anomaly, even through the immensely thick canopy of trees (something a regular camera could not

do) if any living creature grazed at night, or even if it burrowed in dug-out holes in the river banks,
its thermal pattern could easily be discernible, irrespective of whether the Mokele-Mbembe
is poikilothermic or homoiothermic. Another thermal camera could be used on land with the same
purpose. A sonar used in a river or lake could easily detect unusual shapes, and depending on the
model it could be done even up to several hundred metres which, in practical terms, is deeper than
any of the rivers and most of the lakes, thus scanning everything submerged. Movement-activated
cameras could film and/or photograph anything that passes by without human presence; moreover
they could be left behind to be collected after many weeks, or even months, of use. Communication
devices would enable team members to run observations and research in two independent spots
located several hundred yards, or several miles of each other. Finally, location devices could help
determine not just the exact location of the researchers, but also the location of any worthwhile and
intriguing find.
Obviously, equipment alone is not the only pre-requisite for increasing chances for success. It is not
even the devotion and serious and ambitious attitude of researchers. Given the apparent
reclusiveness of the Mokele-Mbembe, as well as a relatively large area where it has been seen, even
if that area is limited to the very south-eastern tip of Cameroon, one needs to take one more,
extremely important factor into account: time. None of the expeditions so far has spent more than
a maximum of few weeks in the areas where the Mokele-Mbembes have been observed or where
tracks have been found. This is, no doubt, due to two factors, namely a) the logistics and finances,
and b) the fact that each expedition member so far had some professional or family commitments.
Another component of success would therefore be the duration of the research.
Nevertheless, the duration of the research and sophisticated equipment are not sufficient
in pinpointing and targeting the animal. One more extremely important factor is knowing WHERE
to look for. Fortunately, the brochure prepared by the Cameroon Discovery Team19, as well as
articles by Michel Ballot on his website20 provide us with sufficient clues to narrow down our the
research. Before venturing out into the jungle, contact and interview with local inhabitants is
of primary importance.
I propose that an sufficiently extended expedition be mounted, equipped with appropriate
equipment that would enable tracking the animal, as well as photographing and/or filming it
in digital with as high resolution as only possible. Obtaining such results (photographs, videos) will
prove beyond any doubt that the said animal does indeed exist. This will lay the grounds for future
research.
Despite a huge area from which reports come, the main region where observations of the Mokele-
Mbembe seem to be most frequent and relatively well-documented, are northern Congo and
southern Cameroon. Given that in Congo the political and military situation is not as stable as in its
northern neighbour, and given also the higher level of corruption, finally given also that the Pygmies
in Congo tend to treat the Mokele-Mbembe as a partly mythical creature, whereas those
in Cameroon make it very clear it is a physical entity (although Lake Tele in Congo is said to be the
best and most common habitat for the animal), I suggest that a research expedition is mounted
to Cameroon around November this year.

I suggest that a team of like-minded individuals, both scientists and independent researchers, get
together to find ways of secure money, equipment and permits, to go mount a full-fledged
expedition in search of the Mokele-Mbembe. I call upon the Readers of these pages, upon WISE-
members, and anyone you may know of with suitable qualifications or interests/passions to join.
Would you help extending and broadening our knowledge despite claims made by some mainstream
scientists that the mokele-mbembe does not, and cannot exist, and especially not as a potential living
fossil (a sauropod)? After all, as Daniel J. Boorstein once said, "The great obstacle to discover is not
ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge." And, as Rupert Sheldrake stated, "Science in its ideology
sees itself as doing a fearless exploration of the unknown. Most of the time it is a fearful exploration
of the almost known". Let us change it.

Some History of Physics Since WWII
by Maurice Daniel
It would be obvious to a future historian that no major advances have been made
to the theories of physics since WWII. The opposite is true of technology; technology
has exploded since WWII with major advances coming every decade or so. Yet there
is probably more physicist alive and employed today then all the scientists in recorded
history. How is it that the exploration of fundamental physics has ground to a halt? The
answer to this question is complex and involves many elements coming together to
stifle scientific creativity.
From the historical point of view, when kings ruled the lands, there were
continuous conflicts as each king attempted to gain more lands at the expense of the
others. When one king managed to conquer one of his neighbors, his soldiers were let
loose to steal whatever they could as payment for their services; so what did the king
get? The king got the treasury of the conquered king and his land and people. But
what else did he steal? Surprisingly, the thing he stole was the artisans of the
conquered king. What use was gold alone? He needed the artisans to work the metal
and stone to build a new and more beautiful palace to glorify his accomplishments.
Move the clock forward to the ending of WWI. The war was fought and won with
the invention of nitroglycerin, ten times more powerful than gunpowder. Even the
leaders that were slow to learn realized that science was more powerful than an army of
soldiers. So between the wars the advanced nations raced to use science to build
better weapons. As a consequence the period of WWII saw the single biggest advance
in both science and weapons in recorded history. After the war, The Allies captured the
Nazis gold horde and divided it up among themselves. United States and Russia
captured the German scientists and every piece of technology that they could move.
United States got the bigger share and moved it stateside under the name Operation
Paper Clip.
The Russians got the factories that made the V-2 rockets and the United States
got about 200 V-2 rockets and the top scientists who made them. Using the German
scientists as their core the United States built a rocket program under Air Force
command. At the end of the 50s, spurred on by the Russian launching of Sputnik, the
Air Force set up NASA as an independent civilian agency (but still having hidden ties to
the Air Force).
But the war and its aftermath changed the character of science forever.
Between the two wars the government (military) formed partnerships with scientists who
were at the time mostly employed by academia. But the government soon discovered
that college professors are difficult to control. So government labs were set up to work
on weapons in environments where the productive output of the scientists and
engineers could be controlled. The labs were modeled after the German system and
often employed the captured German scientist in their highest management positions.
(Two years before the war ended the Germans had put all science projects under the
control of the SS.) Strict security systems were established and enforced and
73
knowledge was compartmentalized. Scientists outside the labs were also hired but
required to sign strict non-disclosure agreements, so whatever they discovered did not
leak into public knowledge.
So in a few years the academic freedom that had produced the scientific
th
advances of the first 50 years of the 20 century virtually vanished into a
bureaucratically controlled profession that directed every aspect of scientific
exploration. When talented scientists emerged they were whisked off into to some
government program, paid a high salary, and required to keep their discoveries
classified. Black programs emerged on American soil maintained by the threat of
death. And those with the highest awareness drifted off to professions that still
remained free.
Scientific discovery needs the freedom to explore wherever the inspiration leads.
It requires scientists with imagination. It requires the freedom of open discussion with
peers. All of these conditions were systematically eliminated in the field of physics by a
bureaucratic system established by the remnants of the evil Nazi empire that infected
the pursuit of pure knowledge.
The government does not understand that they had killed the golden goose.
They continued and expanded their systematic procedures. They made scientific
education a priority and offered high pay to those who could make the grade.
Students were induced to become scientists in great numbers, and then half the
students were systematically failed in the theory that the remaining graduates would be
the cream of the cream. Students with high imaginations were systematically
eliminated. Scientists were then rated by the number of papers they published and the
number of times their papers were referenced in other papers. Technological progress
got confused with scientific progress, engineering progress reports got published as
science, and the peer review process academically destroyed anyone without the
proper credentials or anyone who suggested the existence of errors in the doctrines of
science.
So this is where we are today. Establishment science is un-repairable because it
is entirely staffed with the products of its own system that know of no other way of doing
business. Each is afraid of losing his/her job by saying or writing anything that
questions the status quo. The only escape is to somehow work outside the system, like
the old nobility of Europe who could dabble in science at their own leisure, driven by
their own curiosity, with no concern for their financial welfare.

organisms reproductive efficiency, P has a chance to adapt without the pending menace of
reproductive selection.
In either case it is worth noting that E patterns have a complementary relation with the
homeostatic output functions expressed by P, in the sense that the set of operations performed by P
is aiming at fully matching the pattern of E forces impinging on P. With regard to less adapted P, E
may well be considered a set of signaling forces P is required to match by modifying its output
functions. It would be remarkable if P were to waste such precious E information by being
prevented to deliver it to its progeny and allowing cross-generational adaptive modifications. It
would be just as remarkable if P would be compelled to passively wait to receive the same set of
appropriate instructions by chance events impinging on G, while E might take on the menacing
pattern of a selection pressure.
Nonetheless, in present views, G is believed not to be modified by adaptive changes actively
achieved by P, irrespective of their wealth and relevance. Rather, P efforts to adapt to E are claimed
to remain without consequence. At the same time, chance information entering G is believed to
become fixed in the philogenetic thread as G. A sharp and outstanding break is henceforth
introduced in the mechanism governing the acquisition of new information by an organism.
Environmental cues are accepted to play a role in phenomic adaptation but are expected to remain
meaningless and ineffective with regard to genomic acquisition of the same information, with the
exception of their differential filtering at each generational passage. The model of biological
evolution which emerges from these views may be represented by a long and durable thread holding
a multitude of rapidly decaying structures. While the thread advances by random pushes and
changes direction by the selective filtering enforced by E, living units which derive from it
penetrate and intelligently adapt to E, but their life cycles are extremely fleeting, and no trace of
their adaptive learning reaches the philogenetic thread.
In apparent contrast with these views, a different flow of information is accepted to reach G
from P, not dissimilar from the information flow occurring among P components. Its effects,
however, are assumed to be just as short-lasting. We refer to the processes of DNA methylation,
transposition of DNA segments and other genomic rearrangements which are known to have
widespread occurrence among somatic cells. If a single physical change is taken as a bit of
information, DNA methylation (or a comparable change) should be considered analogous to protein
methylation in terms of information exchange. However, conformational and chemical
modifications of DNA are assumed not to overcome the generation barrier but to be bound to
remain limited to a life cycle, at variance with changes in base sequence. Again, adaptive
modifications regulated by feedback mechanisms are believed to remain short-lasting and
ineffective in eliciting philogenetically significant modifications, while enduring changes are
assumed to arise only by random events.
An additional discrepancy is emerging when the origin of genomic information is viewed in
terms of biological cycling. Cyclic exchanges of matter and energy are well known to occur
between E and P, and comparable cyclic exchanges are well accepted with regard to the mutual
information flows taking place in the phenomic domain, e.g. intercellular signaling and cultural
interactions. Conversely, an anomalous condition is assumed to characterize genomic information
notwithstanding its underlying all information cycling among different Ps and between P and E.
Indeed, no mutual exchange of information is assumed to occur between G and E, but only a
unidirectional flow originating from G. The information content of G is believed to originate
exclusively from random events, regardless of the sophisticated regulatory refinements of the
corresponding P.
An alternative hypothesis.
On the basis of these considerations we propose the alternative view that E may influence G
through its action on P. This putative mechanism involves:
1. Validation of preexisting subsets of G matching corresponding E patterns, i.e. encoding
appropriate P responses to philogenetically familiar E pattern.
2. Acquisition of additional subsets of G that store the information required to implement
novel adaptive P responses, provided E occurs at a rate higher than a given threshold but lower
than an upper limit. If the lower threshold is not attained, the outcome is the permanence of the
82
previous condition. On the other hand, if the upper limit is exceeded, the novel response is not
acquired. Hence, the organism may remain unaffected by E (neutral change) or, alternatively, it
may become victim of E selective pressure. Either one of the two alternatives may occur depending
on the nature and intensity of E interactions with the organism.
Es leading to condition 2 are assumed not to be entirely novel to the organism. Some of its
features are considered familiar to P whose primary role may be decoding and quantifying complex
E patterns into homologous subsets. Accordingly, a qualitative E (a novelty) may be reduced to
sets of quantitative modifications of its components that impress their presence onto G. This view
implies that organisms assimilate simpler E features before developing the capacity to assimilate
more complex E traits. If previous assimilative steps have not occurred, more complex E patterns
may remain meaningless and ineffective for the generation of appropriate P responses. Condition 2
may be referred to as a process of genomic impression in view of its inverse relation to the events of
genomic expression which implement information flows from G to P and eventually to E.
Since E features are remarkably different from G features, the process of genomic
impression is an act of translation presumably much more complex and varied than the process of
translation occurring during genomic expression. Its complexity may be further compounded by its
need to encode phenomic information apt to cope with the new E. In other words, the new G
emerging from the integration of G into the previous G should contain the additional information
required to elicit P patterns of activity coping with E, that is the novel adaptive capacities of the
organism. As the generation of a complementary matching between P and E patterns involves a
multifactorial and multidimensional set of activities, it should be envisaged to be of a less stringent
nature than the complementary interactions mediating base pairing or ligand-protein binding.
The acquisition of a new phenomic adaptive capacity should be regarded as an enlargement
of the homeostatic repertoire of the organism. Classic homeostatic rules require that changes in the
'internal'organisms environment are reversed by processes operating on the principle of negative
feedback. By the same token, modifications of the ' external'organisms environment ( E) may be
assumed to be matched by appropriate adaptive responses which tend to cancel the effects of E
(homeostasis at large). On the basis of these considerations, the organism is believed to maintain its
previous structure in the face of a changing E, provided E does not exceed the boundaries of
philogenetically familiar events for which appropriate P responses are already available. When E
exceeds this boundary (but does not overcome an upper limit), the condition of genomic impression
occurs and organisms become genomically modified ( G). The change implies that a new adaptive
response has been incorporated into the organisms repertoire. This philogenetically significant
modification allows the organism to attain a novel balance with E.
An additional limit to the process of acquisition of new genomic information may be
imposed by the assimilation of G into the preexisting G. As G information regards the entire life
cycle of the organisms, rather than merely the lifespan interval during which exposure to E has
occurred, G integration may bring about hindering or deleterious effects on other life cycle
segments, and/or on other cell types not primarily affected by E. In addition, the new G may now
encode inappropriate P responses to philogenetically familiar E patterns. This may occur after a
short time interval (explicit effects) or a longer time interval (implicit effects). In either case, the G
may prove to be as deleterious for the organism as the E which elicited it. In this case, an
evolutionary dead end is reached.
83
biological evolution has allowed the assimilation of the environment by means of information
processing and storage.
When human beings are compared to elementary particles, evolution is clearly and most
cogently seen as an acquisition of complexity and functional organization. Hence, the mechanism
we are proposing should prove its euristic potential in explaining the evolutionary increase in
complexity, the dead ends of biological evolution, and the striking diversity of biological forms.
Basically, our model involves an active evolving unit, its environment and their mutual interactions.
We consider i) that E features may be modified by the activity of the evolving unit; ii) that the
functional organization of the evolving unit is modified by its interaction with E (through the
generation of P and eventually G); and iii) that the latter process leads to a modified capacity of
the evolving unit to act on E (the acquisition and integration of P into the evolving unit would
enhance its complexity and degrees of freedom; as a result, E would be made more complex by the
activity of more complex evolving units). Hence, the overall process would take the shape of a
spiral, or of a positive feedback loop. If E changes entail an increase in information content, and if
the evolving unit is successfully incorporating appropriate responses into its structure, the spiral
would tend to take the overall system towards an increase in complexity. Conversely, an E
impoverishment and the consequent curtailing of information content in the evolving unit would
take the overall system towards a decrease in complexity.
During the course of prebiological evolution and in early phases of biological evolution the
evolving unit is relatively simple and without segregation of P and G moieties. The whole structure
is phenomic, and directly interacting with E. With the progressive increase in functional
organization of the evolving unit, the information required for the implementation and expression of
P patterns becomes more consistent and in need of an adequate storage mechanism serving
reproductive purposes. In consequence, an additional information loop starts growing on the
spiralling of information between P and E. This loop includes: i) the process of genomic impression
whereby the essential features required to elicit P patterns (and additional Ps) are transferred to G,
and ii) the process of genomic expression whereby stored genomic information is retrieved into
phenomic patterns matching E patterns.
As applied to biological evolution, such mechanism may explain a) the occurrence of
lineages (the spiralling flow of information persists in one general direction); b) the increase in
complexity (upward spiralling as above); c) the apparent lack of an overall evolutionary trend
(upward spiralling hindered or stopped at different points of the philogenetic tree for lack of a E or
for the incapacity of the evolving unit to accommodate a P or a G); d) the limits of
overspecialization (the capacity for further evolution of the P or integration of the corresponding
G decreases); e) the dead ends in phyletic lineages (no further E may be evolved; the integration
of G induces deleterious effects).
The large increase in information content which characterizes the ontogenetic development
of multicellar organisms should be considered to follow the same general principles outlined for
philogenetic evolution. Genomic information is required for early development of fertilized eggs,
but of comparable relevance are S-T patterns of signals impinging on a cell from other cells.
Overall, these signals determine the expression of appropriate phenomic patterns which, in turn, by
acting on the internal E of the organism, may induce changes in intercellular signalling. The process
is analogous to the spiral model proposed for philogenetic evolution, with the exception that the
genomic information required for the initial steps of ontogenetic development is already available in
the zygote. Hence, internal E generally remains within the boundaries of philogenetically familiar
events, and does not elicit genomic impression. In later developmental stages, P-E interactions may
lead to genomic impression to the extent that E features impinging on the organism become less
familiar with regard to the genomic store of the species. It is reasonable to expect that an
ontogenetically early process of genomic impression will be more relevant for the organism and its
progeny.
In multicellular organisms the process of genomic impression which takes place in somatic
cells is believed to be followed by the transfer of that G to germ cells. To perform this step,
acquired information is likely to be progressively reduced to its essential core guiding the novel
developmental pattern, and allowing the progeny to cope with previously unfamiliar E. An
appropriate analogy may be made with regard to the information processing in the nervous system.
The overwhelming information entering sensory pathways is drastically reduced to its bare
essentials before transfer to long-term memory stores. Further elaboration of the trace with loss of
84
less relevant fringes may occur during its permanence in memory store. It is in later stages of this
ongoing process that information required to modify neural structures and make them more
appropriate to deal with E may be transferred to germ cells.
Conclusion.
In the overall frame of these thoughts, several propositions stand at variance with presently
accepted views. The main tenets of our hypothesis are as follows:
1. Living systems are considered capable to modify their own G on the basis of information
elicited in P by signals originating in E. This perspective allows organisms to be viewed as
continuously assimilating E and Es;
2. DNA remains the main molecular store of biological information but is no longer
considered its origin. It is rather viewed as a molecular device adopted by P functions to store
biological information in a form suitable for replicative aims and for modulated retrieval during
ontogenesis;
3. The role of chance in shaping biological evolution is drastically curtailed;
4. Mutual interactions between evolving biological units and E are extended to include the
genome. A spiralling continuum of information flow between these two poles is envisaged as the
basis of evolutionary process;
5. Genomic information may be transferred from somatic cells to germ cells.
Comment.
Giuditta's model conflicts with a line of thought expressed in some papers published by the
Rivista (e.g. Sermonti, 1980; Goodwin and Webster, 1981; Sibatani, 1981) in its postulate that the
information required to the accomplishment of the ontogenetic as well as of the philogenetic
process resides in the genome. Goodwin and Webster (1981) state: The typical form can be seen as
an expression of general organizational principles of the living organisms, while the constraints
which generate a select specific form define characteristics of the species.
Sibatani (1981), following the views of Stent (1980) and Wolpert (1972), assesses that
genetics and molecular specificity may be largely irrelevant in developmental biology. The
molecular postulate of Giuditta is, for sure, more ' orthodox'than the quoted views. Where Giuditta
leaves the feld of orthodoxy is in his assumption that the environment may impress its presence on
the genome (DNA). This view is clearly Lamarckian, but I don' t think that this adjective is by itself
disqualifying. Many examples of Lamarckian inheritance have indeed been presented (e.g.
Waddington, 1961; Durrant, 1962; Ritossa, 1976; Steele, 1979; Brent et al., 1981) and discounted
because they did not ft the current dogmas. In all instances in which these cases have been given a
molecular interpretation they have not however revealed any acquisition of DNA information due to
environmental ' impression'. This does not however rule out the possible validity of the model,
which looks to me as a mathematical theory waiting for a physical process to describe. Two
processes which badly need a convincing explanation may require a model similar to the ' spiral
mechanism' . One is the immunological response, which would be relieved of the unbelievable waste
of information required by the current theories, if antigenic '
impression'could be demonstrated. The
second process, which is the central interest of Giuditta, and has been discussed by him, is the
learning process. If some case of environmental impression could be demonstrated, the very
problem would thus become how an organism can defend itself from the external stimuli, since
stability is for sure (with the remarkable exception of immune response and learning) the most
striking feature of life.

Author's note.
Sermonti's comment on my hypothesis is welcomed in that it allows a clarification of a
possible misunderstanding. The mechanism of genomic impression postulated in my paper is
offering an alternative explanation of the origin of genomic information. In no way does the
postulate require that genomic information is the only type of information an organism utilizes to
implement its life cycle. Indeed, additional sources are well recognized in the phenome and in the
environment, as shown by the influence of epigenetic factors and by the assumption that the
genome-phenome loop of information cycling grows on a preexisting spiralling of mutual
information flow between the phenome and its environment.
The really weak point of the hypothesis regards the occurrence of a process of genomic
impression. Until unequivocal evidence on this point will be available, the hypothesis will remain,
in Sermonti' s words, a theory waiting for a process not yet described or, as Pirandello might say, a
character in want of an author (a scientist, of course).

by Bruno Sacco and Tony
Kerselaers
Publisher: Multiple Wave
Research, Torino, Italy/Herselt,
Belgium
Language: English
Book Dimensions: 8.5x11 inches
Page count: 444 pages
This is the finest and most detailed book ever written about the Lakhovsky Multiple Wave
Oscillator (MWO), a device originally invented by Georges Lakhovsky in the 1930s, which was
used to treat cancer, microbial diseases, and numerous other diseases and disorders. It was also
used to rejuvenate animals and plants from debilitated conditions back to health and vigor.
Both authors are electrical engineers, with over 25 years experience, and were able to locate and
analyze original Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillators produced by the C.O.L.Y.S.A. company in
France during the period 1931 to 1940. The great detail of their analysis is shown in the books
Table of Contents below.
In addition to providing a huge amount of information about how Lakhovskys device was
constructed and how it worked, the authors also provide information about the life of Georges
Lakhovsky, researchers who worked with him or used his device during those early years, as well
as, researchers who successfully used the Lakhovsky MWO in Europe and the United States after
Lakhovsky died in 1942. Original documents have been found, translated into English, and added
to this book. Much of the material has never been published before and it for further
experimentation in this field by competent researchers.

A Manual for Developing Humans
A Manual for Developing Humans revealed itself to Dr. Atwater during and
soon after she survived three bouts with death, and had a near-death experience
each time. This was the first book she wrote. Reviewers all said the same thing
after reading it: The world isnt ready for this yet. Put it in a box. She did -- a
very big box. It was the death of Robert Van de Castle (Internationally known
expert on dreams and author of Our Dreaming Mind) that changed things. During
his memorial, he came right out of his photograph, looked Dr. Atwater in the eye,
and said: It is time. Bob somehow knew about the book in a box. Dr. Atwater
sped home afterward, opened the box, and finished the job. What she learned from
96
80 years of living and challenging every aspect of living is interwoven into what
The Voice Like None Other showed her how to do.
A Manual for Developing Humans is filled with surprise. Each of six main
parts are separated by thought-form drawings. The book leads you into Fifth
Dimensional living, in an easy, curious, and fun way. The idea that we have for
developing spiritually, misses entirely the real challenge. . . to be fully human. To
be all that we are and all that we can be. To envelop the spiritual as we embrace
and balance all other aspects of humanhood. Hu was the ancient sound of God. . .
Hu-man, God-Man. All religions speak of this. All those who undergo a
transformation of consciousness, no matter how, come to face this and deal with it.
Our true self, our real self, is fully human, fully real. This Manual takes you there
and shows you how to live it, everyday, right now.
THOUGHT-FORM DRAWINGS
As Dr. Atwater shares her story, all 28 thought-form drawings that appear in the
Manual are shown in a special PowerPoint presentation. Thought-form shapes
comprise the energy released into the air once thoughts are created. Near-death
experiencers, psychics, artists, and spiritual adepts sometimes comment about
being able to see such shapes.

Late Night Thoughts About
Science

Paperback: 186 pages, illustrated
Product Dimensions: 6 x 9 inches

Most books that are written by scientists for the general
public proudly present what scientists know and
understand. By contrast, this carefully researched and
clearly written book by the well-known Stanford University physicist and astrophysicist
Peter Sturrock discusses, with some humility, topics that scientists do not understand.
Study of these topics, many of which are of keen interest to the general public, may lead
and should lead to breakthroughs in our knowledge of science. Sturrock advocates that
instead of always reacting with It cant happen, scientists should sometimes wonder How
does it happen?
The list of topic begins with a puzzle well known to most scientists - ball lightning an
atmospheric phenomenon that has remarkable properties, and which - after 150 years of
research continues to defy explanation. The book then moves to less known physical
phenomena: the peculiar behavior of some pendulums at the time of a solar eclipse; so-
called "cold fusion"; and evidence that radioactive decay rates (usually considered to be
constant for any element) may vary in response to solar and other influences.
99
There is a necessarily brief but nevertheless challenging discussion of "Unidentified Flying
Objects " or "UFOs" which 70 years after the first observations - are still unrecognized and
un-investigated by the scientific community. There is also a discussion of the enigmatic
"crop circles" (which are nowadays much more intricate than simple circles), and the
catastrophic explosion that occurred at Tunguska in Siberia in 1908 (which apparently was
due neither to a meteorite nor a comet).
The list of topics ends with a puzzle that one would not expect to find in a scientific text, but
can to some extent be addressed in scientific terms: Who wrote the plays and poems
conventionally attributed to "Shakespeare? (A question that is considered heretical by
the relevant scholarly community.)
Each chapter contains one or two examples of the topic under discussion with notes on and
portraits of some of the principal investigators and references for further reading. The
appendices include an extensive guide to further reading, a formal procedure (the Basin
Procedure) for evaluating hypotheses, and a proposal for an "Office of Public-Centered
Science" to promote the scientific investigation of topics of public interest - something that is
very much needed.
