MRU RESEARCH
Mankind Research Unlimited
I. PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE
Introduction
Mankind Research Unlimited, Inc. was organized to collect, study, develop and apply extensive and proliferating data on what may be called the "frontiers of science". This data has come into being as a result of the cross-fertiliza-tion of various scientific fields which long had little or no direct contact with one another, and the re-examination of research areas which were previously ignored by academe as heterodox.- This orthodoxy of thought was also shared by many applied scientists in both industry and the government. Consequently, the probability of achieving technological and scientific breakthroughs by the use of innovative ideas and concepts,
however imaginative or esoteric they might be, has gradually diminished to the point where, in certain critical areas, the United States is falling behind existing technological state of the art in other countries of the world, notably those in Eastern and Western Europe.
Mankind Research Unlimited hopes to reverse this trend and serve both as a catalyst for and originator of new and creative ideas to stimulate research and technology applications in areas beneficial to mankind.
Based on our experience in systems concept development and technological forecasting, we feel this objective can be optimally attained through application of system engineering principles to direct, coordinate, and govern the activities and creative efforts of our multi-disciplinary team of scientists and experimenters.
Evolutionary Trends in Science
During recent years a number of discernible trends in research have been noted which point to a second Copernican era in science. While the first era, sparked by the illustrious Polish astronomer, radically altered man's cherished conceptions about the universe, the second gives promise of revising man's concepts about his own nature and relationship to the universe around him. On what may be called the "frontiers of scientific investigation", new discoveries are being made which increasingly confirm that man not only is a product of his own environment, both in the earthly and cosmic sense, but that the biological effects of this environment can be modified by the action of energies, or force-fields, either to enhance or threaten his well-being.
The principles which have evolved from Planck's Quantum Theory and Einstein's Theory of Relativity are leading man to realize that the material universe is a uniform and interrelated whole, and helping man from within to understand the purposeful organization of living structures and the relationships between mind and matter. The astrophysicist Dr. Gustav Stromberg, in his well- considered book, The Soul of The Universe, concludes that the individual memory is probably indestructible and that the essence of all living elements is probably immortal, thus tending to confirm the
existence of a World Soul or God.
The sciences of physics on the one hand, and of biology and medicine on the other, after long and artificial separation, are now beginning to come into close and fruitful interaction. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the somewhat belated recognition that everything in nature possesses electrical characteristics, and that nature has provided a delicately balanced outdoor spectrum of electromagnetic energy for man's well-being which unfortunately is not being duplicated indoors.3 Belated, too, has been the realization that living organisms, man included, are as influenced by the actions of energies or force-fields as are objects in the inanimate world. The barrier between living and nonliving matter, so long a mystery and heretofore impenetrable, is increasingly seen to be an artificial construct of the other.
Unknown Energies Postulated
It has been postulated for some time that various energies may not necessarily be associated or correlated with those on the conventional electromagnetic spectrum. A decade ago, a farseeing editor wrote: "The possibility that there are one or more biological force-field potentials constitutes the greatest challenge before the world today. Consider that the
existence of an electro-dynamic or psychodynamic field were established with certainty, and that the laws of its universal and its localized operations were described and used, as are the universals of particles and atoms, of
planets and solar systems, this would mean that man could come to have the same tranquil confidence in life as a continuum and himself as a localization therein as does the astronaut in the fields which constitute his special certainty.
In addition to the relatively new concept of biological force-fields, reference has also been made to the existence of various undefined forces in nature which penetrate and permeate conductors as well as dielectrics, do not attenuate according to known formulas, cannot be measured by conventional electronic test equipment and may even have a spectrum of their own.
The Human Mind as an Energy Generator
The suspected existence of a biological or psychodynamic field, as alluded to above, is another possibility which is rapidly converting itself into a distinct probability, if not a fact of hard science. The actions of the human mind -- it must be stressed, are not synonymous with the brain -- have been taken under study by pioneer researchers, some medically trained, who are revealing human potentials which only a few years ago were unknown and unsus-pected. Mankind Research Unlimited is fortunate to have several of these pioneer researchers associated with our programs.
These studies imply that the human mind has and can develop greater than normal access to information by extending and enhancing the sensory abilities. Through the development of these sensory abilities, however latent they may be, beyond those of the five recognized senses, may thusly permit man to transcend, or pass beyond the limits which contemporary science accepts as confining.
The Mind-Body Link in Health
By means of these extended sensory perceptive abilities, man is able positively to affect his bodily (somatic) actions in the same manner in which the early pioneers in psychosomatic medicine believed that certain psychological states could have a deleterious effect on the body's functioning and status.
Not only have these positive effects of higher sensory perception begun to be dramatically recorded, but the possibility of their being taught, and constantly improved through autogenic feedback mechanisms, is on the threshold of becoming a reality. The control of autonomic functions, or those of the involuntary nervous system, have been well-documented -- a development which places in some jeopardy the use of the term ''involuntary''.
Ignored Historical Evidence Now Being Justified
Although research scientists far ahead of their time have compiled significant data about it were often ignored or, worse, maligned by their more conservative and orthodox colleagues. One of the important reasons for this stage of affairs was the physicists' and biologists' mutual incomprehension of developments in one another's fields.
Applications requiring such understanding, and research which made trenchant use of insights from both disciplines, were oftentimes overlooked or derided.
The gap between what has been considered metaphysical and what is accepted as physical is seemingly beginning to close. More than twenty years ago a remarkable book conjoining physical and psychic data was published, but few of the world's scientists paid it any attention. Out of print today, this book is now coming into repute and there are increasing demands for its republication.
Particle and plasma physicists, who are breaking up the smallest units of matter into their even smaller constituents, are coming to recognize that energy fields may be the progenitors of all that exists in the physical world. The concepts of anti-matter and anti-gravity pose deep philosophical questions as to the nature and reality of matter.
Complementing the revolutionary advances and new points of view in physics, are advances and speculations in the study of the human mind. An early pioneer published his subjective experiences in altered states of consciousness while under LSD. To this has been added the brilliant work of a Czechoslovak psychiatrist [Grof] on the effects of LSD on the mind -- not the least practical and humanitarian of which is to relieve dying patients from their fear of the beyond. Other intrepid researchers of the mind, using subjective and objective approaches are opening new vistas in the dark
forest of the human psyche.
The power of psychically-gifted individuals such as the redoubtable Edgar Cayce -- who in deep trance diagnosed the ills of, and prescribed remedies for, thousands of hapless patients -- were long the object of distrust and scorn on the part of official medicine. Recently they have begun to receive serious medical scrutiny.
Trails in research, bringing together new and startling data from physics, biology, psychiatry, religion, etc., continue to be blazed. One milestone was reached when the newly-formed Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine held its first symposium in 1971 to evaluate paranormal and unorthodox healing and seek breakthroughs which might be applied to the understanding and treatment of illness. These means would include hypnotherapy, magnetic healing, acupuncture, radionics or radiesthesia, and psycho-physical control of internal states.
The Scientific Revolution in the USSR and Eastern Europe
Data forthcoming from research based on new attitudes toward, and concepts for developing, human potentials does not always initially surface in well-recognized scientific journals. Nor is it exclusively the product of "Western" science. The Soviet Union, as well as certain countries in the Eastern European bloc, have been active and productive in nearly all of the above-mentioned research directions. In both connections, we may cite, for instance, the papers published by a new British journal on a symposium on "Psychotronics" held in Prague,Czechoslovakia, in the fall of 1970.23
Psychotronics is the Czechoslovak term for what in the United States is called parapsychology, a discipline recently given official acceptance by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In the USSR the prefered term is biocommunications. As far back as the 1920s Leonid Vasiliev, a student of the famous Vladimir Bekhterev, founder of the Moscow Institute for the Study of the Brain and Nervous Activity, had termed what westerners call "telepathy", big-radio communication. Later, the incor-poration of the word "biological" into the nomenclature for various ESP phenomena became standard in the USSR. Milan Ryzl, a scientist who emigrated from Czechoslovakia to the United States, has defined biocommunications as a new branch of science concerned with the human capability of obtaining and interpreting information from other than the recognized "normal" senses. This science, in-Soviet usage, has two subdivisions: bioinformation and bioenergetics. The first deals with the means of obtaining information through the senses, and the second deals with the energetic effects produced by humans on other matter.
That the Soviets had been actively pursuing research in biocommunications (parapsychology) was given wide publicity with the appearance in the summer of 1970 of a popular book containing over 400 references citing work and specific experiments conducted in this area by Soviet and other East European scientists. It reveals that the USSR has more than twenty centers for the study of biocommunications and related phenomena, with an annual budget estimated to be over 12 million rubles ($13 million) for 1967 and as high as 821 million for 1970.

Introduction
Mankind Research Unlimited, Inc. was organized to collect, study, develop and apply extensive and proliferating data on what may be called the "frontiers of science". This data has come into being as a result of the cross-fertiliza-tion of various scientific fields which long had little or no direct contact with one another, and the re-examination of research areas which were previously ignored by academe as heterodox.- This orthodoxy of thought was also shared by many applied scientists in both industry and the government. Consequently, the probability of achieving technological and scientific breakthroughs by the use of innovative ideas and concepts,
however imaginative or esoteric they might be, has gradually diminished to the point where, in certain critical areas, the United States is falling behind existing technological state of the art in other countries of the world, notably those in Eastern and Western Europe.
Mankind Research Unlimited hopes to reverse this trend and serve both as a catalyst for and originator of new and creative ideas to stimulate research and technology applications in areas beneficial to mankind.
Based on our experience in systems concept development and technological forecasting, we feel this objective can be optimally attained through application of system engineering principles to direct, coordinate, and govern the activities and creative efforts of our multi-disciplinary team of scientists and experimenters.
Evolutionary Trends in Science
During recent years a number of discernible trends in research have been noted which point to a second Copernican era in science. While the first era, sparked by the illustrious Polish astronomer, radically altered man's cherished conceptions about the universe, the second gives promise of revising man's concepts about his own nature and relationship to the universe around him. On what may be called the "frontiers of scientific investigation", new discoveries are being made which increasingly confirm that man not only is a product of his own environment, both in the earthly and cosmic sense, but that the biological effects of this environment can be modified by the action of energies, or force-fields, either to enhance or threaten his well-being.
The principles which have evolved from Planck's Quantum Theory and Einstein's Theory of Relativity are leading man to realize that the material universe is a uniform and interrelated whole, and helping man from within to understand the purposeful organization of living structures and the relationships between mind and matter. The astrophysicist Dr. Gustav Stromberg, in his well- considered book, The Soul of The Universe, concludes that the individual memory is probably indestructible and that the essence of all living elements is probably immortal, thus tending to confirm the
existence of a World Soul or God.
The sciences of physics on the one hand, and of biology and medicine on the other, after long and artificial separation, are now beginning to come into close and fruitful interaction. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the somewhat belated recognition that everything in nature possesses electrical characteristics, and that nature has provided a delicately balanced outdoor spectrum of electromagnetic energy for man's well-being which unfortunately is not being duplicated indoors.3 Belated, too, has been the realization that living organisms, man included, are as influenced by the actions of energies or force-fields as are objects in the inanimate world. The barrier between living and nonliving matter, so long a mystery and heretofore impenetrable, is increasingly seen to be an artificial construct of the other.
Unknown Energies Postulated
It has been postulated for some time that various energies may not necessarily be associated or correlated with those on the conventional electromagnetic spectrum. A decade ago, a farseeing editor wrote: "The possibility that there are one or more biological force-field potentials constitutes the greatest challenge before the world today. Consider that the
existence of an electro-dynamic or psychodynamic field were established with certainty, and that the laws of its universal and its localized operations were described and used, as are the universals of particles and atoms, of
planets and solar systems, this would mean that man could come to have the same tranquil confidence in life as a continuum and himself as a localization therein as does the astronaut in the fields which constitute his special certainty.
In addition to the relatively new concept of biological force-fields, reference has also been made to the existence of various undefined forces in nature which penetrate and permeate conductors as well as dielectrics, do not attenuate according to known formulas, cannot be measured by conventional electronic test equipment and may even have a spectrum of their own.
The Human Mind as an Energy Generator
The suspected existence of a biological or psychodynamic field, as alluded to above, is another possibility which is rapidly converting itself into a distinct probability, if not a fact of hard science. The actions of the human mind -- it must be stressed, are not synonymous with the brain -- have been taken under study by pioneer researchers, some medically trained, who are revealing human potentials which only a few years ago were unknown and unsus-pected. Mankind Research Unlimited is fortunate to have several of these pioneer researchers associated with our programs.
These studies imply that the human mind has and can develop greater than normal access to information by extending and enhancing the sensory abilities. Through the development of these sensory abilities, however latent they may be, beyond those of the five recognized senses, may thusly permit man to transcend, or pass beyond the limits which contemporary science accepts as confining.
The Mind-Body Link in Health
By means of these extended sensory perceptive abilities, man is able positively to affect his bodily (somatic) actions in the same manner in which the early pioneers in psychosomatic medicine believed that certain psychological states could have a deleterious effect on the body's functioning and status.
Not only have these positive effects of higher sensory perception begun to be dramatically recorded, but the possibility of their being taught, and constantly improved through autogenic feedback mechanisms, is on the threshold of becoming a reality. The control of autonomic functions, or those of the involuntary nervous system, have been well-documented -- a development which places in some jeopardy the use of the term ''involuntary''.
Ignored Historical Evidence Now Being Justified
Although research scientists far ahead of their time have compiled significant data about it were often ignored or, worse, maligned by their more conservative and orthodox colleagues. One of the important reasons for this stage of affairs was the physicists' and biologists' mutual incomprehension of developments in one another's fields.
Applications requiring such understanding, and research which made trenchant use of insights from both disciplines, were oftentimes overlooked or derided.
The gap between what has been considered metaphysical and what is accepted as physical is seemingly beginning to close. More than twenty years ago a remarkable book conjoining physical and psychic data was published, but few of the world's scientists paid it any attention. Out of print today, this book is now coming into repute and there are increasing demands for its republication.
Particle and plasma physicists, who are breaking up the smallest units of matter into their even smaller constituents, are coming to recognize that energy fields may be the progenitors of all that exists in the physical world. The concepts of anti-matter and anti-gravity pose deep philosophical questions as to the nature and reality of matter.
Complementing the revolutionary advances and new points of view in physics, are advances and speculations in the study of the human mind. An early pioneer published his subjective experiences in altered states of consciousness while under LSD. To this has been added the brilliant work of a Czechoslovak psychiatrist [Grof] on the effects of LSD on the mind -- not the least practical and humanitarian of which is to relieve dying patients from their fear of the beyond. Other intrepid researchers of the mind, using subjective and objective approaches are opening new vistas in the dark
forest of the human psyche.
The power of psychically-gifted individuals such as the redoubtable Edgar Cayce -- who in deep trance diagnosed the ills of, and prescribed remedies for, thousands of hapless patients -- were long the object of distrust and scorn on the part of official medicine. Recently they have begun to receive serious medical scrutiny.
Trails in research, bringing together new and startling data from physics, biology, psychiatry, religion, etc., continue to be blazed. One milestone was reached when the newly-formed Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine held its first symposium in 1971 to evaluate paranormal and unorthodox healing and seek breakthroughs which might be applied to the understanding and treatment of illness. These means would include hypnotherapy, magnetic healing, acupuncture, radionics or radiesthesia, and psycho-physical control of internal states.
The Scientific Revolution in the USSR and Eastern Europe
Data forthcoming from research based on new attitudes toward, and concepts for developing, human potentials does not always initially surface in well-recognized scientific journals. Nor is it exclusively the product of "Western" science. The Soviet Union, as well as certain countries in the Eastern European bloc, have been active and productive in nearly all of the above-mentioned research directions. In both connections, we may cite, for instance, the papers published by a new British journal on a symposium on "Psychotronics" held in Prague,Czechoslovakia, in the fall of 1970.23
Psychotronics is the Czechoslovak term for what in the United States is called parapsychology, a discipline recently given official acceptance by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In the USSR the prefered term is biocommunications. As far back as the 1920s Leonid Vasiliev, a student of the famous Vladimir Bekhterev, founder of the Moscow Institute for the Study of the Brain and Nervous Activity, had termed what westerners call "telepathy", big-radio communication. Later, the incor-poration of the word "biological" into the nomenclature for various ESP phenomena became standard in the USSR. Milan Ryzl, a scientist who emigrated from Czechoslovakia to the United States, has defined biocommunications as a new branch of science concerned with the human capability of obtaining and interpreting information from other than the recognized "normal" senses. This science, in-Soviet usage, has two subdivisions: bioinformation and bioenergetics. The first deals with the means of obtaining information through the senses, and the second deals with the energetic effects produced by humans on other matter.
That the Soviets had been actively pursuing research in biocommunications (parapsychology) was given wide publicity with the appearance in the summer of 1970 of a popular book containing over 400 references citing work and specific experiments conducted in this area by Soviet and other East European scientists. It reveals that the USSR has more than twenty centers for the study of biocommunications and related phenomena, with an annual budget estimated to be over 12 million rubles ($13 million) for 1967 and as high as 821 million for 1970.
