CONCLUSIONS
>Soviet and Czechoslovakian researchers have accepted the reality of paranormal events and are primarily concerned with the formulation of a unified theory to describe the basic energy transformation involved. Soviet emphasis on the electrostatic and electromagnetic components the energy may play an important role in the final determination of the nature of psychical phenomena. This emphasis on energetics or intersection effects has lend to the concept that man must be investigated as a complete, integrated unit.
>Soviet and Czech pyschotronic research will eventually be applied to human problems. As this occurs, the question will arise whether this knowledge and the equipment developed will be used for the enhancement of human freedom and social development, or for regimentation and enslavement. Psychotronics could conceivably play a role in contributing to the survival of the human species; by emphasizing the interconnections between all living beings, it should help to reduce human aggressive tendencies. By the same token, it could also be applied to increase such aggressive tendencies and it has powerful potential for us as an effective weapon against groups of men and key leaders.
>The Czechs claim that a direct transfer of biological energy from healthy to diseased or injured muscle is not only possible, but proven. The Soviets do not restrict the possibility of such energy transfer to any one physiological system, but state that biological energy transfer can be utilized to relieve human functional disorders of the nervous system, the internal organs, and the mind. In all cases, such medical applications of biological energy transfer are officially described as having beneficial results, but this may not necessarily be true. By analogy, conventional medical techniques can be beneficial, but when misapplied, can cause serious damage, or even death. By the same token, there can also be “psychic” malpractice, although the Soviets and Czechs are not likely to publicize this fact.
>Both Czech and US researchers have described Robert Psvlita’s work with psychotronic generators as possibly the most important contemporary development in the field of parapsychology and as a major contribution to the deeper understanding, mastery, and utilization of biological energy for human advantage. Just as in the example of direct transfer of biological energy for medical purposes, the use of such devices is not necessarily intended to be beneficial. If Pavlita´s devices can kill insects at present, their potential in the future after refinement and enlargement may well be for killing men. If bioenergy can be reliably controlled and focused by such devices, death could be caused by disruption of fundamental brain rhytms, heart control, or biological clock mechanisms.
>Soviet research with Kulagina and Vinogradova indicates that energy interchanges, or transfer mechanism, may be possible between gift psychics and inanimate objects. There is evidence that Soviet resesrch with these women also involves attempts to influence animate biological systems. In 1972, Latothe reproted that Kulagina had the capability for and starting the beat of an exercised, living, frog heart. If true, it supports the contention that Czech and Soviet claims for “beneficial” application of biological energy transfer are reversible – if a frog heart can be started and stopped, the same effects might be imposed on humans. Such dramatic effects illustrate some of the dangerous potential of controlled biological energy transfer.
