Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400300007-4 ~ The International Society for the Study of Subde Energies and Energy Medicine oo Vol. 2 © No. 3 Fall, 1991 ISSSEEM Second Annual Conference The second annual conference of ISSSEEM will be held in Boulder, Colorado, June 26-30, 1992. We are pleased to chair the program committee for this meeting. Also serving on the committee are: David Hibbard, M.D., Ching -tse Lee, Ph.D., and Robert Shellenberger, Ph.D. The theme for the conference, Bridging the Paradigms Through Clinical Practice, Research and Theory, reflects three factors: the diversity of the membership of ISSSEEM; the contributions of clinical work, laboratory re- search and theory to our knowledge of subtle energies and human potential; and the continuous evolution of the accepted paradigm as data and theories from many disciplines enlarge and transform that paradigm and form a bridge to the new. The conceptual shifts occurring in physics, medicine, and psychology (to name only three disciplines) are based on data that cannot be explained by traditional theory; these data stimulate new concepts and models. We pro- pose the following tasks for the second annual conference: (1) to present data regarding subtle energies and human potential from different disciplines that suggest conceptual shifts and that bridge the paradigms; (2) to describe how traditional theories might be revised and new theories formulated to account for the data; (3) to continue discussions initiated at the first annual conference on appropriate methodologies for obtaining reliable data. A call for submissions is included in this newsletter. A “multidisciplinary” conference is planned, with speakers who contribute to the expansion of the conceptual matrix and account for the phenomena of subtle energies and human potential, thus bridging the paradigms. Because data are an essential element in the bridge between paradigms we emphasize the need for well.documented clinical and research findings that illustrate or imply the existence of subtle energies and human potential. This might include for example, anomalous medical, physical, and psychological phenomena. We encourage symposia and. panels that bring together laboratory research and clinical data. Finally, we encourage the theoreticians among us (and the theoretician within us all) to explore the conceptual bridges that account for the phenomena of subtle energies and human potential and that unify these phenomena. We are pleased that Elmer Green, President of ISSSEEM, will discuss the nature of the paradigm shift in his welcoming comments, and will continue his discussion of the “copper wall” data. We have invited Robert Becker, M.D., author of The Body Electric and Cross Currents, to be the keynote speaker. Other invited addresses will be scheduled at the beginning of each day. The Second Annual Conference will be one day longer than the first conference, and the short courses will be held late afternoons. These and other changes enable longer presentations and greater audience participation. We anticipate continued excitement and camaraderie as we come together again to share ideas and experiences with our colleagues in the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine. ’ Sincerely, / !
