AIM
The aim of the academy
is the establishment of basic
studies and
research
of somatic science and
its application,
to lay a good foundation for the basic ap-
plication of somatic science and to benefit mankind.
GUIDING IDEOLOGY
The academy uses
dialectical-materialist ideologies as a guide
to study and
research somatic science;
With systems, theory and methodology as an academic guide, using
results
of modem science to derive the essence of traditional culture;
Combining the study and research
of modern
medicine,
traditional
medi-
cine, qigong and the special functions of the human-body;
Combining the study and research
in a multidisciplinary approach;
»
Combining basic studies and -research with applications.
ORGANIC PRINCIPLE AND ORGANIZATION
The academy
utilizes the organic principle
in organizing the nuclear
struc-
ture within a small entity, providing greater
elasticity
and
multiple
strata.
In
the
first stratum there
is an advisory committee, board of directors and an acade-
mic committee, implementing
title chairman’s
responsibility under the provisions
of leadership
of the board of
directors.
In the second stratum are basic studies
and research, application studies and
research,
talent collecting departments,
in-
ternational cooperaton, administrative management and other functional
depart-
ments. The third stratum consists of a certain number of
centres,
institutes,
de-
partments,
sections and
other grass-root
units directly affiliated to the academy.
The fourth stratum includes units and individuals
having
close
contacts
or
co-
operative
relations with the academy.
A small number
of
professionals, and a greater number of personnel with
concurrent jobs, work with a capable and
efficient academy as the center, and
with scientists as the main body.
They will make
full use of modern means of
communication and transportation as well as the most advanced instruments and
facilities at home and abroad. They will conduct
separate studies and
research,
and implement unified leadership and unified management. Our aim
is to estab-
lish a new-type
of
study
and
research academy with high efficiency, and high
standards as well as a vigorous and flexible' economy,
FUNDS
The Chinese Academy of Somatic Science
is a self-funded civic-scientific re-
search organization.
Its funds are chiefly
from
funds
allocated
to
subjects
of
scientific research and benefits from donations,
as
well
as cooperation and
as-
sistance
at home and abroad.

Somatic Science
( Science Of Human Body
)
Somatic science
is the science of man in cos-
mic environment i in the language of systems
sci-
ence, the human body
is considered to be an open
complex giant system embeded
in the supergiant
system of comic world, here "open"
is referred to
the human body environment, “giant” means the
number of the constituting members of the system
runs to billions and billions
, “complex means the
kinds of the constituting members are also numer-
ous and the interactions among the members arc of
great variety. Somatic science thus departs in basic
viewpoint from the classical reductionist physiolo-
gy. The importance of feedback of conscience on
physiology,
including the multi-level actions and
interactions of human brain, is emphasized.
This
points
to the difference betweeen somatic science
and plant or animal biology, and separates the so-
matic science from the life science in general.
Somatology , an old terminology , is here re
suscitated as the fundamental discipline of Somatic
Science, and
is the synthesis of classical physiolo-
gy , modern psychology , psychophysiology , neuro-
science,
scientific
parts
of
Chinese
traditional
medicine and Qigong (Transcendental meditation)
,
and other related subjects such as ESP and PK.
The
quasi-stable
characteristic
states
of human
body system, such as waking, sleeping and Qigong
state, are called the somatic Eigenstate.
As the philosophy of somatic science, the an-
.thropic principle of Robert H. Dicke and Branden
Carter, derived from cosmological consideration
is
extended to include on the microscopic scale,quan-
tum theory of measurement or quantum epistemol-
ogy, and
to include on the macroscopic scale, the
fundamental
principles
of
Chinese
traditional
medicine.

A New Chinese Academy of Parapsychology
by LEPING ZHA
Somatic Science,
the common term used in China for Parapsychology
(see L. Zha and
T. McConnell,
Parapsychology in the People’s Republic of China: 1979-1989", JASPR, 85 ,
119-143)
is
still legitimate and favorably received
there, according
to recent correspondence
from PRC.
The
Chinese Academy of Somatic
Science,
a
self-funded
scientific
research
institute
consisting of several administrative departments and research
units mainly
in
Beijing, was
officially established in late 1990. The formal aim of the Academy was stated to carry out "basic
studies of somatic science" on the "exceptional functions of the human body (EFHB, usually psi
functions, ESP and PK), qigong, and traditional and modem Chinese medicine using a "multi-
disciplinary approach", so as to "lay a good foundation" for future development and application
in order to "benefit the mankind".
The head of the Academy’s 18 member council, Mr. Zhang Zhenghuan, was formerlv the
Director of the Science and Technology Board of National Defense Science, Technology,' and
Industry Committee.
Mr. Zhang is also the current president of the Chinese Society of Somatic
Science (CSSS),
the sole official Chinese scholastic organization of Parapsychologists.
The
Director of the Academy’s academic committee.
Prof. Chen Xin,
is an Academician of the
International Academy of Space Science, and the honorary director of the Institute of Space
Medico-Engineering (ISME, an important Chinese psi research center).
Prof. Lin Shuhuang
a
physicist and a major researcher in the field, was elected as the Academy’s president.
In July, 1990, the CSSS launched its publicly-circulated official journal, Chinese Journal of
Somatic Science, which is edited by staff members of Ziran Zazhi (Chinese Nature Journal)
The
first issue contains papers on macro-PK experiments with high-speed movie camera, along with
many other topics.
The Journal comes with a list of contents and abstract of major papers in
The Chinese psi researchers are currently seeking opportunities to cooperate with Western
parapsychologists. The Academy is planning to form a delegation to visit major North American
parapsychological laboratories in the near future.
The proposed delegation may include major
Chinese subject(s),
if proper testing arrangements can be scheduled.
Invitations and financial
assistance
will
be welcomed, and may
be made
through
the China International
Culture
Exchange Foundation's Somatic Science Research Development Fund (of which
Prof.
Lin
Shuhuang is a member of the governing board), 3107 Beijing Hotel, 33 East Chang An Avenue,
Beijing 100004, PRC. Suggestions and inquiries can also be addressed to Leping Zha at the
Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260 USA
