Because the presence of certain objects and people will add to the psychological pressures of the subject. It is necessary to go through troublesome trial and error before a suitable environment is found. However, these problems do not cause disappointment towards achieving repeatability in paranormal abilities. Tt is especially important not to expect the test subjects to be able to generate paranormal events at each testing and under all conditions. This is like expecting the same particle beam to be generated by the acceleration tunnel no matter what the vacuum level is or what ise that it can energy level is used. This type of machinery is so preci only work under very specific conditions. Because we deal with those even more complex mechanisms of the human body, when studying paranormal abilities we must be very careful about this. In order to be able to further study the phenomenon of paranormal abilities, it is very necessary to allow them to occur under suitable restricted conditions. If the spoon bending is possible and while the spoon is being bent, the test object cannot be directly observed, even though it is repeatable, a number of explanations, to include a clear explanation is still not possible. In summary, it is obvious that the conditions must be selectable in order to elininate the naive explanations, especially those of tricksters, for paranormal abilities. We are caught up in the final conflict between the strictness of science and the clearly required relaxed state necessary for the generation of paranormal abilities. The bending of spoons and long range observation in the light of day, because these phenomena have a4 certain degree of repeatability in daylight. Also, the witching for water paranormal ability phenomenon deserves further study so each explanation is tested. It is this special nature that permits crucial testing that is absolutely necessary for the scientific study of the phenomenon of paranormal abilities. The scope of the series of tests conducted will naturally be randomly conducted by the researchers. However, this is the measurable thing which exists in paranormal ability events themselves. We need not further investigate to prove that the testing is easy, because this involves certain aspects of changes in the environment. Also, the environment can often prevent special phenomena from recurring. If this sort of change is very detrimental to paranormal ability phenomena, then its testing is absolutely impossible. Paranormal ability events will then be viewed as paranormal events, and the people of today’s world will not be able to effectively conduct scientific research on then. of a subject, it is possible that paranormal ability phenomena will not occur at first, but after several attempts, they will later appear at a certain stage. Under these conditions, the researchers must clearly have patience, and they must be When attempting new testing 41 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300010002-2
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300010002-2 LN465-92 this way, otherwise there will be a shortage of knowledge on the study of paranormal ability phenomena. It is very necessary to systematically and fradually conduct this work, no matter what, this strange phenomena must d in order that it may obtain effective proof and it be accurately describe is possible to begin to hypothesize about its possible explanations. It is especially necessary to use extremely strict testing so that trickery cannot be taken as a cause of paranormal ability events. In this way further investigation of paranormal phenomena can be achieved. ew researchers saw the example of the bending spoon. These explanations are valuable, and even though they are based on the principles described above, they are still non conclusive. In is only through the careful measurement of the various physical parameters, especially the pressures applied, during the bending process that it is possible to list it in the category of paranormal abilities. It would be best if these measurement processes could be carried out automatically, and certain preliminary tests with positive results have already arranged this sort of measurements., People have already attempted measurements of various parameters such as temperatures and various types of radiation. In these attempts at measurement, it is necessary to allow the subject to be as relaxed as possible and at the same time, prevent any laxity in the scientific strictness. In the past two years, quite 4 f Because of the preponderance of observers with a doubtful attitude, in order to prevent psychological pressures due to the presence of doubtful observers, the best method seems to be to use automatic measurement instruments whenever possible. In this way, the research personnel can focus their attention on the subject’s psychological state and not have it divided between with half of it on keeping the subject in a relaxed state and the other on careful observation of the events that occur. Here, movie film and audio film are not as useful as people think. This is because they can only provide a one sided picture of the changes of events. They cannot monitor the amount of such changes as pressure and the critical magnetic force. Finally, we should also mention those persons with a doubtful attitude. When they are present, the paranormal phenomenon may fail to occur or they not observe the paranormal event and feel that paranormal phenomena are impossible. Although doubter’s prejudices toward paranormal events and have extreme reactions. However this sort of critical attitude plays an important role in science, and even ensures that the principle of strictness in science plays a positive role. However, an extremely doubtful attitude toward the progress in the field of paranormal abilities acts as a hinderance. The solution of this problem is determined by what kind of proof will be accepted by those who doubt. This answer to this question is determined by each of those with an attitude of deep distrust. People can recognize certain general characteristics of this view. 42 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300010002-2

This type of stubborn unchangeable attitude can only go with decay and death. Let us look once more an the doubters who are a Little better. The demand to see firsthand phenomena because in their view this phenomenon seems to be impossible. Furthermore, even if when they see this phenomenon, they may claim: There is still some trickery in the phenomenon. We wust ask him to observe this type of phenomenon under conditions of strictest possible methods. To be successful with him, it will take time and patience. If he can be influenced, it is only if we are willing to spend the time and patience that it will be possible to have him observe the phenomenon that will convince him. The most extreme doubters d that we can obtain the conditions where trickery is impossible and where paranormal ability events can be measured . Some people believe this is not the case. This view is very clearly false. It is possible to eliminate all conditions of trickery. A piece of metal equipped with a pressure sensor cannot be bent without anyone being aware of it unless the sensor is not working. If the method of bending is not mechanical, and is chemical or laser beam methods, it is only necessary to carefully conduct chemical analysis or measure the temperature and it will be possible to compare the results. Conventional methods cannot cause an object to bend without contact. Here we have already hypothesize At the present time it is not possible toa allow this sort of non believer to observe the detailed experiments by the extremely small number of persons with obvious paranormal abilities. It seems that a small portion of them cannot do this. In order to affect this doubt of theirs, it is necessary to know just where they are coming from. The scientific doubt concerning paranormal abilities is based on this fact, that the paranormal ability events studied are in conflict with current scientific views. At least, this is said to be a fact which is applicable to every paranormal ability event. However, differences exist between the different sorts of paranormal ability phenomena. First of all, odd events which exist seem to be impossible in the eyes of science, however, actually, if people all believed that current fields still were lacking a certain knowledge, perhaps in the future it would be possible to come up with a scientific explanation. Here we raise the example of bending a spoon once more. Recently some people proposed a theory of electromagnetism to explain it. In order to test it well, it is necessary to consider study of super low frequency electromagnetic radiation energy and the effects between it and various materials - to the degree where the material is cracked. It has only been recently that this new property of material has been discovered and proven this hypothesis. Furthermore, the measurement of the instantaneous magnet field in this process is related to the stress fracture of the various materials. As for telepathy and long range vision, the same hypothesis can be proposed. A small group of recent achievements from Stanford research indicates a 43 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300010002-2
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300010002-2 LN465-92 radiation at the upper limit of extremely high frequencies and yet also includes low frequencies. Since low frequency electromagnetic radiation has already been shown to effect the psychological parameters of aninals, then, this sort of electromagnetism hypothesis must be considered. Other physical phenomena are even more difficult to understand using this type of special shop talk. Therefore, if objects can actually disappear from inside a sealed container, then the energy required to eliminate its chemical bond would be very great and impossible to provide a feasible physical explanation with current special terminology. This type of phenomena cannot be proven just like the bending of spoons and telepathy. Therefore, there also exists the possibility that moving objects do not always disappear at on place and appear at another place. However, if this is the case, it is very obvious that this would be in contradiction with the current scientific view of natural forces and the laws they satisfy, especially with the law of the conversation of energy. Similar difficulties occur in other paranormal ability phenomena such as precognition. It is difficult to categorize as a normal cause and effect relationship. Normal cause and effect relationships use the explanation of retarded potential as the formula for the fields of ail energy . However, when the retardation effect only occurs when people are present, this is very strange. It is very natural to consider that awareness is very necessary in these phenomena. Finally, if researchers are patient and intelligent with everything, including the test subjects and their colleagues, the truth about paranormal ability events should be found. In their experiments, they must aim at the highest level of scientific strictness. However, while having the subject meet fairly scientific conditions, before causing the paranormal ability events to occur, he must also use a great amount of time to prepare. In addition, researchers must work hard to establish a fairly feasible model for paranormal ability events. If all advances were smooth, they would have fairly great advances in obtaining this effect.
