A GRAND MANKIND ENGINEERING PROJECT STARTING A NEW ERA OF HISTORY
REVIEW OF FOUNDING OF SOMATIC SCIENCE
Written
by
famous scientist Qian Xuelin
and others
and edited
by
Zhu
Runlong
and Zhu Yiyi,
the first volume of
the book FOUNDING OF SOMATIC SCIENCE
published
by
the Sichuan Educational
press faithfully records
the work
in
the
earliest stages
of
the founding
of
somatic science.
It
is
a combination
of
theory and practice,
it
is strong academically
and
in material,
it
is
a major
scientific work with far reaching influence.
The publication
of
this book is
a
major event
in
the history
of
science and
technology.
Its significance cannot
be underestimated.
"Somatic
Science",
this brand new concept,
was proposed by Comrade Qian
Xuelin
early
in
1981.
What
he was
referring
to was
a scientific system outside
of
the three major sciences
of
a mathematical
science,
natural
science and
social science.
A brand new discipline which was just forming.
It was
a
science to study
the functions
of
the human body.
The new field
of
somatic
science attracted
a
large number
of
famous older generation scientists
in
China
such
as Qian Xuelin,
Zhao Zhongshao,
Wang Jinchang,
Bei Shizhang
and
others.
It
also attracted
the attention
of
people
in
all
fields.
More and
;more
scientific and technical workers and comrades
from other fields
enthusiastically entered
this work.
In the past
ten years,
there have been
rapid advances
in somatic science in China.
It has enjoyed several gratifying
accomplishments.
It has struck
a
resonant chord
in China
and abroad.
The
collection of
articles
in the
first volume
of
FOUNDING OF SOMATIC SCIENCE
illustrates the great successes scored by somatic science research
in
China
over
the last
ten years.
It
is
an overall summary
of
the development
of
this
work
in China.
This book collects articles covering
a period beginning
in May
of
1978 with
the publication
of
the first scientific research report
in China
concerning the physical nature of Qigong external
air and the article published
in the
11 March,
1979,
"Sichuan Daily" concerning
a child
in Dazu County who
could
recognize characters
by use
of his
ears.
The inclusive articles includes
various major theories and explorations
on
such subjects
as Qigong,
somatic
paranormal
functions
and research
in Chinese medicine,
summarizations
,
descriptions
and critiques and empirical
research,
totalling more than 600,000
words.
Its summarization
is extremely thorough,
systematic and
timely.
In
these article,
the theoretical portion thoroughly expounds
on
the terminology,
nature,
positions,
missions and subjects
of
research,
categories and methods,
and
the connection between these and other sciences nd departments.
It
basically collected
all
of
Comrade Qian Xuelin' s relevant discussions up to the
present
time.
The experiment portion
is divided
into a collection
of
the
results and analysis
of
the data from various typical
experiments
in China
since experiments
in somatic science were begun.
These include Qigong research
and
somatic paranormal functions
research.
The later
is further divided
into
such special
topics
as paranormal perception,
paranormal
kineses,
paranormal
writing,
and paranormal
radiation.
This book
is
the first one especially
written
in this field.
Its timely publicizing
of
these accomplishments will

undoubtedly play
a major role
in promoting further developments
in somatic
science.
The advent
of
this book not signifies
that
research work
in somatic
science
in
China
has already made
it
though
the earliest difficulties,
but also
presages
that,
this work
is
about
to enter
a new profound stage
of
research.
This book has
a
fairly sizeable breadth
and
depth both
in
theoretical
exploration
and
in empirical
research.
This
is especially
true
of
some major
discourses by Comrade Qian Xuelin.
Not
only
are
they
of
important significance
providing direction
for somatic science
itself,
but
for other scientific fields
as well.
For example,
in
theory
it proposes
the use
of
dialectical materialism
as
a guide
for research
in somatic science
research,
uses
the man-universe
concept
as
the bridge
from somatic science
to the philosophy
of Marxism,
and
establishes
the doctrine of
somatic functional
states.
For the establishment
of
research methods
in
experiments,
its investigation
into
the validity
of
the
existence
of
somatic paranormal
functions and how widespread
they
are,
its
investigations
into
the mechanisms
of Qigong
and
somatic paranormal
functions
using various methods,
and
research
into these functional phenomena
and
their
natures
-
all
of
this,
has
an undeniable significance for constructing
the
framework and direction
for the research
in somatic
science.
Its academic
value also lies here.
Comrade Qian Xuelin points out:
"The deep-going research into somatic
will necessarily completely alter the knowledge of mankind
and will
improve the
power
of
nature.
It will
be
a benefit
to mankind."
"This can lead
to
a new
scientific revolution
in the
21st
century,
which may be an even greater
scientific revolution than that of quantum mechanics and
the theory
of
relativity early
in
the 20th century."
"It
will
definitely lead
to
a
second
cultural
renaissance and
is another flying leap
in
the history
of mankind."
Without
a doubt,
the creation
of
somatic science
-
this
is
a history making
future creating,
grand engineering project
of mankind.
These original
records
which reflect
the construction
of
the historical
foundation
are complete and
systematic scientific and technical historical materials.
They will definitely
occupy
a space
in
the history
of
science and technology.

This book
is valuable
as historical material,
in addition
to the complete
and systematic
records,
and
the many successes reflected
which
are typical
and
representative,
the more than one hundred photographs and illustrations,
graphs
and original
data
are also very valuable scientific
and
technical
material,
especially
the several groups
of high speed photography
of
somatic paranormal
functions
shown frame
by
frame which
faithfully
recorded
those very significant
results
of
scientific experiments,
which are
of
very high scientific and
technical
value.
Naturally,
the public publishing
of
this material
is not without
significance
for popularizing somatic science knowledge,
removing
the various
ignorant superstitious
ideas,
letting people properly know
about,
their own
bodies,
and striving for
an overall
beginning
in somatic
functions.
The
serious and
faithful
recording and relating
of
the work of
the scientific and
technical
personnel,
will
undoubtedly illustrate
their scientific achievements
to
the world.
This
in itself
is
a very serious undertaking.
Practice
is
the
only yardstick
of
truth.
This ideology
runs throughout
the entire volume.
It
is convincing.
It may also be considered
to be one
of
the major distinguishing
features
of
the book.
Another distinguishing feature
of
the book
is
the rational combination
of
theory
and practice.
Theory
is proposition
and practice
is the proof.
Search
for new theories
on
the basis
of
scientific experiments which,
on the other
hand,
give direction
to new experiments.
This book provides
such examples.
In
form,
this book is divided into the two major portions
of
theory
and practice
and
is basically arranged
in date order.
This naturally was
in order
to
facilitate
the categorizing
and reading
of
the material,
but by reading
closely,
one can discover
that there
is
a close inherent relationship,
in which
one confirms,
supports
and
infers
from another.
Just
as Comrade Qian Xuelin
has emphasized,
we must use dialectical materialism
to guide our research
in
somatic science.
The combining
of
theory and practice
is perfectly
in line
with
this spirit.
Actually,
not only
is
this
so,
but
it should
be said
that
the entire book reflects
the guiding ideology
of Marxism.
Space limitations
of
this article keep me from further analysis.

SOVIET STUDIES OF THE HUMAN ABILITY OF SUPER-PERCEPTION
TRANSLATED
BY:
Li
Huang
"Science
and
Life",
a Soviet monthly magazine with
a circulation
of
3.4
million,
in
a
recent
issue published
a lengthy major article
on
the study
of
the question of
the human ability
of
super-perception.
The human ability
of
super-perception
is about
the same
as what we know
as
the somatic paranormal
abilities.
However,
it also seems
to include certain aspects
of QIGONG
[transcendental meditation].
According
to
the introduction,
it
is
in
the early
stage of development,
and there are heated debates over the controversy.
This
article will
briefly introduce
the
topic.
It would
be somewhat unusual
to
publish
a lengthy article
in
this
issue,
so
a
brief
introduction
follows.
Several years
ago,
there appeared
in
a number
of
publications
in
the
Soviet Union
a large number of
reports
of
a super-sensitive
(one who
is
a
master
of
super-perception)
who had amazing abilities
to diagnose
and
treat
various
types
of
illnesses.
Many
of
the authors pointed
out
that
the super-
sensitive can guess
the state
of
the body,
and can quickly
and
accurately
determine the illnesses with results better than doctors using various
types
of
instruments
and equipment
and biochemical
examinations.
Furthermore,
the only
tools the supersensitive uses are his own hands.
During his examination,
the
super-sensitive does not need
to touch
the patient,
but need only carefully
"feel"
the biological
field with his hands
a
few centimeters
from the skin
of
the patient.
The patient need not disrobe.
Then,
depending
on
the
characteristics
of
the patients biological
field,
he proceeds with his
diagnosis.
Actually,
he can recognize
all
types
of
illnesses which are already
known immediately,
from spinal meningitis
to duodenal ulcers
to geriatric
hardening
of
the arteries.
As his super-sensitive abilities have improved,
he
has come
to have super human abilities
to cure ailments.
The super-sensitive
still waves both his hands
and uses his own strong biological
field
to act
on
the patient.
After several
times,
even
if
the patient
is not completely cured
of
any ailment,
he can reduce various symptoms
to some degree.
Since the publication of
the reports
of super-sensitive abilities,
a
large
number
of
readers began flocking
to the editorial department
of
the
publications,
asking
all
sorts
of questions which the editorial department
could not answer.
The editorial department sent
a special
reporter from its
own publication
to investigate the matter and
to interview the super-
sensitive.
The reporter's assignment was first
of
all
to learn everything
possible from the super-sensitive with power over the biological
field and the
patients he had cured,
to learn many details,
and
to listen
to
all
types
of
contrary opinions and evaluations
from specialists.
He was also
to locate and
carefully read
the many different articles already published.
The following
is
the special
reporter describing his assignment
in
the first person.
I
found
this assignment strongly attractive.
Also,
not
long ago
a great
deal
of hope arose concerning
the clarification of
the basic key elements
of

"super-sensitive abilities".
This anticipation was based
on
the combination
of
work done
in laboratories under
the direction
of
academician YURI WAXILIYEVICH
GULIYAYEV
[phonetic]
and physicist mathematician Doctor ADEHUA AIMANUYINLEVICH
GEJIKE
[phonetic]
.
Here
I will
talk about
the results
of
their research
and my
impression
and
thoughts during my
interview.
The revelation
of
the
truth
of
super-sensitive abilities also began gradually.
It was very interesting.
We sat
in
an old
style MOSCOW brand
automobile,
setting out
at four
in
the
morning from the sleeping capital
and never stopping.
In
the early evening we
arrived
at BULIESIKE
[phonetic]
more
than 1,000 kilometers
away.
We did not
stop over in
the city,
but proceeded directly
to the border defense
traffic
inspection station.
It was another 200 kilometers from there
to Warsaw.
We
wanted
to hurry up and get
there
to take part
in the international
science and
technology symposium.
It
looked
like we would have no problem getting there on
time.
After we arrived
at
the border defense inspection
station,
we had
to
sign
exit cards
and show our papers.
Before
long,
we would
be notified
that
three
of us were permitted
to leave
the country,
but one
of
us was not allowed
to leave because the expiration
date on his papers was not clear.
What could
we
do.
We did out best
to come up with some way
to solve this problem.
At
first we dealt with
a young duty First Lieutenant,
later with
the ranking
officer
of
the border defense inspection station.
The people we made contact
with were all extremely likeable and
expressed
their sympathy.
They were
willing
to stretch the rules and make concessions
as
far as their individual
affairs were concerned,
but they resolutely refused
to act
in violation of
regulations concerning crossing the border.
Therefore,
there was nothing else
we could
do,
and
the other person
flew back to Moscow early the next day to
get.
the necessary papers stamped and returned
to BULIESKE
that, night.
As
a result,
we were
a day late
in arriving
at Warsaw.
By this
time,
the incident
at
the
border inspection station was all but forgotten.
However,
we had learned
a
lesson and
an important principle.
In the words
of
the first lieutenant:
"all
border inspection stations have
to make
a check.
We cannot violate this
principle."
This
is
true.
Super-sensitive abilities have
to be inspected
using science and technology before
it
is released;
before
it will be accepted
by the people
and
finally widely used
by
them.
/
The following excerpts
of
conversations come from my notes
of my
/
conversation with academician GULIYAYEV
[phonetic]
deputy director of
the
/
SFvieff academy of
Sciences Radio Technology and Electronics Institute and
j
!
director of
the Radio Electronics Remote Sensing Methods Graduate Body
Laboratory
.
"Construction of
the laboratory began
in 1962.
As
time went
on,
it
caught
up with
the so-called period of
intense interest
in super-sensitive abilities.
Because
of
the great interest
of
the broad masses,
I should explain
a
few
things
to convince
them.
As for the rumors concerning
the mysterious
"diagnosis"
and "curing",
there
is basically no objective informational
data.
Therefore,
we have decided
to use precision methods
of physics and
radio
electronics
to conduct
a thoroughgoing research and we hope
that we can clarify

and disclose whether
or not
there
is
any element
of
this
theory which
coincides
with
the principles
of
physics."
"Have you come
to any understanding"
"More on that
later.
Now
I
should point out
that paranormal
and
supernormal
are only
fragments.
The primary studies
of
each
of
the research
groups were
all different.
For example,
a
long
time ago we began serious study
of
just exactly what type
of physical
field surrounded
the human body,
in what
forms did
it manifest
itself,
how could
it
be used
to collect
information for
biological
research
and
in applied
in medical
practice.
We came up against
two
problems
in forming
a
study team at
the radio technology and electronics
lab.
The first was
that
the laboratory had traditionally concentrated
on biological
and medical
topics.
All
we had
to
do was mention
the huge cycle
of
the
research work directed
by
the academician NIGULA DEMITELIYEWEIQI JIEWEITEKE
[phonetic],
the items
they studied were mutual effects
of
radio waves
(primarily super high frequency)
and biological
factores.
Second,
the
institute placed most
of
its energies
on
remote sensing
research.
For example,
by radio sensor
of
Venus
in
the beginning until
later when we were able
to use
radio methods
to locate ore.
Naturally,
this
is
a different
type
of
problem.
However,
there were
a number
of
common points between
them.
Once we started,
we concentrated on seven channels
for transmitting different
types
of
information.
(1),
surface infrared
radiation.
(2),
Radio radiation which could
reflect the temperature of
internal organs.
(3)
Electronic
fields.
(4)
Magnetic fields.
(5)
Chemical
luminescence
(luminescence outside the skin
within" the light wave parameters).
(6)
Sound waves.
(7)
Chemical compounds
emitted through the skin
in
the form of
evaporation.
We have conducted
research on most
of
thes e
channels.
Some have even been used
in clinical
diagnosis".
H^verTve still
decided
to start from scratch
and do an
exhausting new study with
a strictly scientific attitude,
and
we have had
a
number
of
encouraging successes,
especially thermoscopy,
which has not only
created new possibilities
in the study of
skin blood circulation,
but. has
created new possibilities
in brain research.
Through
the study
of minute
changes
in
the mechanism of heat exchange in
the skin,
many new things may be
discovered."
"Does your plan include study
of persons with super-sensitive abilities?
And
if
so,
how can you test
for these abilities?"
"First of
all,
the word
"super" may not be appropriate here.
Whether
it
is one of
the seven channels
I mentioned earlier or
if
it
is
a
a different
nature
of
thing than the general abilities
of most people which no one can
detect,
the heat radiation
from the hand
is enough
to be detected by others,
as
for whether or not
it
is possible
to use this
type
of
energy
for diagnosis
or treatment,
you should not ask us,
but you should go ask
a doctor.
Of
course
this question should not be considered independently at some public academic
symposium,
but
this question should be answered by arranging clinical
experiments,
and
find out
if
it
is
of
benefit
to
the doctors,
because the hands
are natural thermometers and the hands are natural
warmers.
I
should
emphasize,
that
I am only talking about doctors and professional

sensitive.
As
I
see
it,
if
it were done by
an outsider,
even
a harmless
massage could result
in
a great deal
of
discomfort.
I
really
regret
that our
Ministry
of
Public Health did not
research
this,
but
allowed
it
to be
turned
over
to non-specialists
to mess
it up."
In order
to remind everyone
of
the excitement surrounding
the "mysterious
biological
field"
a
few years
ago,
I
am going
to
take
a
few extracts
from
publications
of
that
time
and talk about
them or cite abstracts.
This material
is
only presented
for
the reader
to think about.
It
is only hearsay,
and
as
for how
to explain
it,
that
is entirely up
to the
reader himself.
"The plant which can detect evidence of
a crime
is capable
of
transmitting
extremely important
information,
but only
a super-sensitive with
a great
deal
of
experience
is able
to perceive
and decode
this
information."
"We have determined
that when
a super-sensitive
is concentrating his
thoughts,
he can cause his biological
field
to intensify
six
fold."
"What kind
of
special
reaction
is
this,
is
this your super-sensitive
ability?
This type of
reaction has occurred many
times,
it
is
just, called by
different names,
that
is
all.
Furthermore,
it
is often embarrassing....
— Yes,
why don't
I remember
this.
— and you should read about
it.
For example,
200 years ago all
of Europe
was astounded by the discoveries
of
Mesmer.
He was
the primary super-
sensitive of
that time.
He was able
to receive
a
special
type
of magnetism
from the earth and because of
this he was able
to cure peoples'
ailments.
This
kind
of
thing has ben attested
to by eye witnesses
and patients who have been
cured,
the facts are
there.
—
If
there are people who say
it
is
so,
then
it must mean
that there
is
such
a thing.
— Here you go again with
"what,
is
it".
The great
LAVOISIER,
a scientist
who turned chemistry
into
a science through precise measurements,
made
a
detailed study
of
the effectiveness
of Mesmer 's cures.
Later he provided hard
evidence that there was no effectiveness whatsoever.
Do you know the
difference between "hard evidence" and "everybody knows?"
"The brain can have the effect
of
a super conductor.
For some people,
they only have to concentrate and
they can successfully establish
a desired
channel between their own bodies and
an objective
target.
Once
it
is
concentrated
it
is an intensified biological
field.
Under certain conditions,
there was even ball lightning
in
such channels."
The following was extracted
from my notes
of
talks with laboratory
researchers,
MATALASHAOFU

who
is head
of
the research
team,
and
assistant professor
of
physics
and mathematics GULAFUMIUFU
