SECTION III - TELEPATHY (ENERGY TRANSFER) IN MAN
PART A - Classical Theories and Experiments
Over the past 25 years, Soviet scientists have reported that abilities
such as extrasensory perception, clairvoyance, and telepathy have been
demonstrated in the laboratory under rigorously controlled conditions.
Many of these claims have been published in the Soviet technical and pop-
ular literature. Just how for the Soviets have really gone in their of-
forts to learn about the mechanisms of human telepathy is not known. If.
the Soviet reports are even partly true, and if mind-to-mind thought trans-
ference can be used for such applications as interplanetary communications
or the gulding of Interplanetary spacecraft, the Soviets have accomplished
a scientific breakthrough of tremendous significance.
For many years, any attempt to study telepathic phenomena was de-
nounced in the Soviet Union as mysticism and idealism. From 1922 to 1959,
however, this attitude gradually changed. Official recognition of para-
psychology as a legitimate science was prompted to a considerable extent
by the Party's recognition of other disciplines which had previously been
rejected as-bourgeois idealism (quantum mechanics, the theory of relativity.
and cybernetics). In 1959 Professor L.I. Vasiley published his "Mysterious
Phenomena of the Human Psyche," followed in 1962 by his "Experiments In
Mental Suggestion." These two publications caused some surprise among
Western scientists, but the possible military implications were apparently
overlooked in the West. The first attempt to illustrate the possible
military and intelligence impact of Soviet research In telepathy and
psychokinesis was published in 1972. 15
The publication of Vasilev's first book in 1959 was followed by the
appearance of: countless studies by other Soviet rescarchers and numerous
articles in the Soviet periodical press. Soviet parapsychology research
gained impetus and sophistication, growing from a single laboratory into
a coordinated USSR-wide effort; laboratories were also established in
Czechoslovakia. - Funds for rescatch (reported at 20 million rubles In
1973) are believed to be primarily from military sources. This high level
of support advanced Soviet research on human telepathy far beyond that of
The West and the USSR became the leader in sponsoring and participating
in international parapsychology symposiums. Such international meetings
have served Soviet interests by allowing them to benefit from Western
rescarch.
After 1959 large numbers of Soviet scientists began investigating
telepathic communication. In 1965, a bioinformation department was formed

The potential applications of focusing mental influences on an enemy
through hypnotic telepathy have surely occurred to the Soviets. The bulk
of recent telepathy research in the USSR has been concerned with the
transmission of emotional or behavioral impulses and the study of physio-
logical responses to PK exercises, etc. In their exploration of telepathy.
they are seeking the evenual capability to reproduce and to amplify the
phenomen.i so that control is feasible. Control and manipulation of the
human consciousness must be considered a primary goal.

According to both Soviet and Czech researchers, one major advantage
of studying psychotronic generators is the reproducibility of their cf-
fects; in addition, they can be activated by nearly anyone, with or with-
out any special psychic abilities. The devices may have other practical
applications not related to parapsychology. The Czechs claim that irra-
diation of seeds with the energy enhances plant growth, and that industrial
pollutants have been precipitated out of water by its action (Figure 7).
These claims may be open to question, since in 1972, Zdenek Rejdak, hund
of the Psychotronic Research Section of the Czechoslovakian Society for
Science and Technology, termed the experiments with plants and water
"ineffective."
A recent newspaper article, 36
" quoting Pavlita, reported that his
generators could serve as weapons; no further details were given. No
information is available on Czech efforts to develop psychotronic weapons,
but Paulita has stated that some forms of his devices can exert both
favorable and unfavorable effects on living organisms, including man. In
experiments with snails exposed to the energy from a generator. a state
similar to hibernation resulted. When flies were placed in the gap of a
circular generator (Figure 6) they died instantly. In another test,
Pavlita aimed a generator at his daughter's head from a distance of
several yards. Her electroencephalogram (FEG) changed, she became dizzy,
and her equilibrium was disrupted.
In their present form and size, Pavlica's devices could probably
exert an effect on humans at only relativei" s. je range. It is possible
that their size could be enlarged or their energy amplified, thereby cx-
tending their range. If the Czech claims for these devices are valld,
biological energy might be an effective antipersonnel weapon. It would
be difficult to defend against, since it apparently penetrates most common
forms of insulation and its reported effects (changes in brain wave char-
acteristics disturbance of equilibrium, dizziness) could result in
personality changes or physical discomfort which might alter combat
effectivenes.
Soviet or Czech perfection of psychotronic weapons would pose a
severe threat to enemy military, embassy, or security functions. The
emitted energy would be silent and difficult to detect electronically
(although the Soviets claim to have developed effective biological energy
sensors) and the only power source required would be the human operator.

PART V
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 transformations involved.
The Soviet emphasis on the electrostatic and electromagnetic componer ts
of the energy may play an Important role in the final determination of
the nature of psychical phenomena. This emphasis on energetics or irter-
action effects has lead to the concept that man must be investigated as a
complete, , integrated unit.
Soviet and Czech psychotronic 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 use 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 Paulita's work
vith 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 bio-
logical energy for medical purposes, the use of such devices is not
