What is under the patch

Savely L. Savva, MS

An important article “Certain Physical Manifestation and Effects of External Qi of Yan Xin Life Science Technology” by Yan Xin et al. published in JSE, (V.16, #3, 2002, pp.381-411) represents a detailed description of some physical experiments designed and conducted by the late Professor Lu Zuyin with a psi-gifted operator, Dr. Yan Xin. It broadens previously published descriptions of the experiments where Yan Xin acting from remote locations induced a broad and very intensive Raman irradiation of water with a maximum at 2100 cm-1 and affected Americium’s, 247Am, nuclear decay. Description of the measurement methodology and tabulated results of many runs convincingly show that the effects cannot be reduced to interactions with measurement devices and that the human mind, through a yet-unknown fundamental physical interaction or interactions, referred to in the article as Qi, is capable of interfering with weak nuclear and electromagnetic forces (particularly, molecular structure of water).

Fortunately, for only about a decade of the 1980’s Chinese government provided funding for serious scientific study of Qigong, possibly being concerned with the growing popularity of this traditional health-supporting culture in the country. The same luck brought into the picture a brave and talented physicist, Lu Zuyin, and psi-gifted operator, Yan Xin. That is why Lu Zuyin’s works are among the very few studies conducted in the world with an appropriate funding and metrological basis involving exceptionally gifted psi operators.

In the Soviet Union of the 1960-70’s physicists conducted numerous pilot studies on Russian psi-gifted operator, late Ninel Kulagina. However, there was no substantial government funding and in most cases investigators intended to debunk any paradoxical claims. Since they couldn’t do this, results were not published. Only a few comparatively inexpensive studies by Professor G. Dulnev and co-workers were presented in somewhat obscure publications, for instance, one on her ability to rotate the plane of polarization of a polarized laser beam (Dulnen 1995, 1998)

The importance of discovering the nature and the unit of the fundamental physical interaction or interactions revealed in Lu Zuyin’s and many other studies becomes clear in the light of current achievements in molecular biology and biochemistry. Meager amount of genes differing humans from apes or plants led Craig Venter, CEO of Selera Genomics, to suggest that the performance of the genome lies in "a different, nonchemical level of organization" (in the announcement of deciphering human genome on the National TV in 2000). The pragmatism of today’s biomedical sciences is understandable: if we know nothing about the most complex general control system of the organism, i.e., this different level of organization (even of the cell, see Macovschi, 1972, Ling, 1992), the practical way is to trace associations of wrong signals of this control system with physiological deviations or programs of death and try to compensate for them. It works well in many cases but it is associated with an exponentially growing cost of the service to the society and often with an unforeseen harm to individual lives. The appropriate scientific inquiry into the structure and physical nature of the organism’s general control system becomes strategically (politically) important because of the fast growing cost of health care in the US GNP.

 Indeed, all organisms are operated by their general control systems that carry four fundamental programs of life: development, maintenance, reproduction and death. The mind can be defined as a mechanism of realization of behavioral aspects of these programs. Since the operation of the general control system is nonlocal (not chemical) we call it the biofield (see my article in this issue) or epiphenomenon of the genome, as developmental biologists called it since the beginning of the 20th century. The physical carrier of the biofield is most likely of the same nature as the carrier in the interactions of the mind (human intent) with physical and biological objects, perhaps, like Qi of the Chinese tradition revealed in Lu Zuyin's experiments.

Exceptional as they are, neither Lu Zuyin’s works nor Yan Xin’s talent are absolutely unique in the world. In addition to above-mentioned studies of N. Kulagina, J. Hasten observed substantially increased concentration of dislocations in metals bent by U. Geller in England (Hasten 1979), Shen Jin-huang observed telekinesis, materialization of chemical substances in water and other exceptional effects by Sun Chu-lin in China (Savva, 2000), L. Pulos observed transmutation of metals and accelerated development of chicken eggs by Thomas Morton in Brazil (Pulos and Richman, 1990), W. Tiller and W. Dibble measured pH changes in water by the intent of unnamed operators (Dibble and Tiller 1999), E. Rauscher and B. Rubik observed recuperation of poisoned bacteria by Olga Warrell (Rouscher and Rubik 1980).

These studies must be continued in a coordinated manner with funding they deserve. However there are at least two major problems that first must be overcome: methodological and sociopsychological.

Some of the new methodological approaches are discussed in my article in this issue – the broad principle of uncertainty and the need of finding really psi-gifted operators.

The sociopcychological problem is rooted in our human nature. We know so little about the world we live in but we need assurances that we know it all. Perhaps, it is the intolerance of the unknown, the need for stability, security. We "patch" huge holes in our knowledge with myths or scientific theories, never mind they may contradict each other, and any attempt to challenge these patches encounters severe resistance by the academic scientific community.

What makes a beetle fly miles toward a female and copulate? We surely know – the pheromone, the chemical released by the female. The patch is called chemotaxis, the same that “makes” sperms swim toward the egg. But how a molecule can cause motion and a huge sequence of events? It is just a signal triggering a program of reproduction in this case. And here we come to the patched hole itself – one of the fundamental programs of life. Molecular biologists are not trained to deal with this, hence “Do not touch it!”

Water is one of the "simplest" substances surrounding us. William Tiller presents in this issue a brief review of observed paradoxical properties of water, particularly those involving long-term memory. It includes paradoxical sensitivity of water to weak electromagnetic radiation, variable in time luminescence of water, paradoxical effects of superlow doses of biologically active substances at organism, cellular and molecular levels, and effects of human intent on physical-chemical parameters of water such as pH. Extensive study of these paradoxical properties should be considered as another perspective direction in the future coordinated research program.

All these paradoxes call for an honest and substantial revision of the current physical description of the world, the main scientific paradigm – the hugest patch. James Beichler reviews broadly accepted physical models such as Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Theory of Everything, String theory, etc. as well as alternative models such as D. Bohm’s implicate order, J. Beichler’s five-dimensional space-time, W. Tiller’s eleven-dimensional model, etc.  Besides the fundamental contradiction between Quantum Mechanics and Relativity all currently accepted models totally ignore phenomena of life and consciousness. He emphasizes the need for a physical model that would be capable of incorporating life, mind and consciousness along with phenomena observable in the inanimate world.

The International Scientific Symposium “Paradoxical Effects in Biophysics and Medicine” that we work on is aimed at developing an agenda for further international coordinated study of the observed paradoxes including physics of life. 31 abstracts of presentations at the Symposium by scientists from 10 countries published in the previous issue of MISAHA Newsletter and articles in this issue should convince honest and decent scientists of the importance of this event. The hope is that the US Government, in its wisdom, will support this effort as it supported studies in complementary and alternative medicine by establishing a special Office at the National Institutes of Health in 1991.

I hope subscribers will forgive me the delay of this issue: organizational efforts consumed much time and energy.
