IS UNKNOWN
ENERGY
IN
'THE WORLD
OF THE
SIXTH

THAT CAN
BE
USED
FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS
AND THAT DISCOVERY
OF THIS
UNKNOWN
ENERGY
MAY
VERY WELL REVOLUNTI ONAL

'SCIENCE TODAY DOES NOT FULLY EXPLAIN WHAT THE

IS,'

'WHAT WE
KNOW
IS THAT WE
CAN MAKE WONDERFUL COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT
IF WE BUILD
IT ON THE
1HEORIES
OF
ELECTRIC WAVE
ENGINEERING.
THERE
ARE MANY BASIC MATTERS THAT REQUIRE SCIENTIFIC
EXPLANATIONS.
YUHARA HAS
FOR SEVERAL YEARS
BEEN ENGROSSED
IN
STUDYING PHENOMENA OEFYING SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION.
HE
CONDUCTED
A
SIMPLE
EXPERIMENT FOR AN NKS REPORTER.
HE
FIRST PLACED
SOME
NAME
CARDS
AND SMALL
PIECES
OF
PAPER
WITH NAMES WRITTEN ON THEM ON
A TABLE
AND THEN BROUGHT
A
BAR MAGNET HANGING FROM
A STRING.
WHEN THE MAGNET
WAS PLACED ABOVE THE NAME
CARDS,
IT STARTED SWINGING
RIGHT AND LEFT DEPENDING UPON THE NAME
CARDS.
YUHARA
CLAIMED THAT WHEN THE NAME CARD
IS THAT OF
A DEAD MAN,
THE MAGNET SWINGS TO THE
LEFT.
TO EXPLAIN THIS STRANGE PHENOMENON,
YUHARA
FORMULATED THE
FOLLOWING HYPOTHESIS:
'THE HUMAN BODY
HAS
A SECRET SENSOR
IN
IT AND THE SENSOR TRANSMITS THE
INFORMATION
ABOUT THE STATE
(DEAD
OR ALIVE
OF THE MAN
WHOSE NAME
IS
ON THE
CARD TO THE
BAR MAGNET.'

ARE YET TO
BE RECOGNIZED,'

OHTANI
,
PROFESSOR
AT THE
DEFENSE

AND
PRESIDENT
OF THE
JAPAN PARAPSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION.
'WE,
THEREFORE,
ARE
CONDUCTING OUR RESEARCH ON THE
SUBJECTS
COMPLETELY
ON OUR OWN.'
EVEN AMONG BIG BUSINESS
EMPLOYEES, THERE
ARE
SOME
WHO
ARE
SECRETLY
ENGAGED
IN TELEPATHY
IN THE
BELIEF
THAT THE DAYS WHEN THE WORTH
OF
SUCH STUDIES
IS
FULLY
APPRECIATED
ARE NOT THAT FAR AWAY.
ONE
SUCH PERSON
IS MASAM I CH
I
ROKUSHA,
AN ENGINEER
BELONGING TO HITACHI,
LTD.’S
PATENT SECTION.
ROKUSHA
HAS RECENTLY DEVISED,
WITH THE
USE
OF
A PERSONAL
COMPUTER,
A SYSTEM TO GREATLY
IMPROVE THE
EFFICIENCY
OF
STUDIES
OF THE
SIXTH SENSE.
ROKUSHA HAKES THE COMPUTER MEMORIZE THE

THE
'BEEP'
SOUND
IS
SOMETIMES
ADDED TO TEST WHAT EFFECTS THE
SOUND WILL
HAVE
ON THE
CONTROL'S SCORE.
A COMPUTER ANALYSIS
OF VAST AMOUNTS
OF
DATA
COLLECTED SHOW THAT THE SCORES BECOME
POOR AFTER THE
BEEP SOUND
AND THAT THE
BEST SCORES
ARE CONCENTRATED
JUST BEFORE THE BEEP SOUND.
ROKUSHA
EXPLAINS THESE TWO
PHENOMENA
BY CONSIDERING THAT THE

IN

'DEVELOPMENT OF

SAYS
KARATSU.
'IN
.
BRAIN STUDIES,
PHENOMENA SO
FAR UNEXPLAINED BY
CONVENTIONAL SCIENCES SHOULD ALSO
BE TAKEN UP.'
THE STATE ALSO HAS STARTED MOVING
INTO THE FIELD.
THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AGENCY HAS RECENTLY DECIDED
TO TAKE UP MAN'S SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES
AS
A STUDY THEME
OF
ITS CREATIVE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PROMOTION
PROGRAM AS FROM FISCAL
1987-
ALTHOUGH THERE
ARE MANY WORDS
IN THE JAPANESE
LANGUAGE SMACKING OF THE SUPERNATURAL,
NO SCIENTIFIC
STUDIES HAVE
AS YET BEEN UNDERTAKEN ON THE PHENOMENA
IMPLIED BY THE WORDS.
STUDIES
OF SUCH PHENOMENA MAY
VERY WELL HAVE WIDE-RANGING PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
RANGING FROM CURES FOR
ILLNESSES TO NEW COMMUNICATIONS
MODES.
SIR
ISAAC NEWTON,
FORMULATOR OF THE THEORY OF
GRAVITY,

ENGROSSED
IN STUDIES OF THE

IS NOW FULLY COMMITTED
