Introduction
Living matter, in the thermodynamic sense, is not governed by the
physical law that is valid for inorganic matter [1]. The antientropicity
of psychic processes [2], which are the highest manifestation of life, in
the general case, serves as a proof of the fact that the thermodynamics of
living systems cannot be reduced to classical thermodynamics, while living
matter has, in comparison with inorganic matter, certain new properties.
That which is valid for matter may turn out likewise to be valid
for the fields of living organisms as well. Actually, if living molecules
differ qualitatively from inorganic molecules, why cannot such a difference
exist between "living" and "technical" fields? In case such a statement of
this problem is valid, the electrodynamics of living systems must differ
from technical electrodynamics. It is accurate to say that technical electro-
dynamics may be a valid case of biological electrodynamics. This means that
in studying living organisms by technical means certain properties of bio-
electric fields are difficult to register. One example may be found in the

so-called "healing by laying on of hands." An electric field was detected
between the patient and the "healer" [Kirlian, 1966], but one cannot success-
fully product the same subjective sensations (the subjective sensation of
heat, etc.) by means of a "technical" electric field as those which are
experienced by the patient under the "laying on of hands."
If a specific field inherent solely in living organisms, then a
corresponding form of energy must also exist. But psychic or biological energy
cannot be reduced to other forms of energy, just as electrical energy cannot
be reduced to mechanical energy. As numerous experimental data demonstrate,
psychic energy may be manifested via electric and magnetic fields, heat, or
mechanical motion. Therefore, it makes sense to use electrical energy, electro-
mechanical energy and other equivalents to estimate the magnitude of psychic
energy.
An approximate scheme for the interaction of a psychic field and
matter may have the following form: display RV 22A. One may draw a certain
analogy between the laws of electromagnetic and psychic fields. Probably,
just as an electric field, a ip field must have sources (man); the analog of
induction may be suggestion, and the analog of self-induction may be self-
suggestion. Just as in Ohm's law, psychic tension must be proportional to
psychic resistance. From this point of view, the brain (and, in general, a
living cell) is conveniently treated as a transformer of ~-field energy into
other forms of energy and back again.

BIOELECTRIC INDUCTION
If a living cell is considered to be an energy converter, then the
following may be said of at least two phenomena which are analogous to those
which form the basis of technical electrodynamics:
1. The action of an electric field causes a mechanical contraction of the
neuromuscular organs of living objects.
2. The neuromuscular tension (specifically the will) tension may
create an electric field around living organisms as a consequence of which
electric charges may be induced in surrounding objects.
The validity of the first part of the law of bioelectric induction
was proved by Luigi Galvani, who discovered that at a certain distance from the
spark of an electrical machine, the muscles in a neuromuscular specimen taken
from a frog contract. An analysis of experimental data [3,4,5,6,7] demonstrates
that the second part of the law of bioelectric induction likewise may be valid.
As an example, let us consider the results of three experiments: electrical
telekinesis, electrical properties of acupuncture points, the Kirlian effect.
Electrical telekinesis. The tested subjects induced a charge in a dielectric
cube having an edge 0.5 m long and moved various objects weighing 10 to 100 g
along its surface. A successful performance of the experiment requires not only
the presence of a charge on the surface of the dielectric cube and the preserva-
tion of it for a specified time, but also a corresponding distribution of the
electrostatic field. In a plane capacitor the field is concentrated between
the plates, and therefore no motor forces are manifested at the outer
side of the plates. The electrostatic field of the charged plane has an

approximately identical intensity on both sides. If some small object is placed
on the charged dielectric surface, then one may cause its movement by means of
electrostatic forces. As a rule, the charge on the object is negative, but
this charge cannot compensate the charge of the entire dielectric because, as
is well-known, the electrons and ions cannot move along its surface. Conse-
quently, Coulomb attraction forces will act between the object and that region
of the dielectric where the positive electric charges have concentrated. If
these forces are larger than the friction force that restrains the object, it
will move from its place. But usually the friction force is greater, and the
object is in a state of unstable equilibrium. If a person brings his hand
close to the object from the direction opposite to the direction in which the
electrostatic attractive forces between the object and the positive charges
on the dielectric surface act, then electrostatic repulsion forces develop
between the person's hand and the object (the person is charged negatively).
These additional repulsion forces may cause movement of the object if the charge
of the electrified surface is sufficiently great. However, if the charge is not
very great, then the object begins to move only as a result of a willed tension
of the hand muscles (or the muscles of some other part of the body) of a trained
tested subject. The appearance of an additional electric field as a ,result of
an emotionally willed tension evidently confirms the validity of the second part
of the law of bioelectric induction. It may be noted that the functioning of
this simple device for moving objects by a human subject recalls the operation
of a Geiger counter which records small amounts of energy transported by indi-
vidual particles. Actually, an electric field of high intensity is created in

the working volume of a Geiger counter. A particle entering the volume produces
additional ionization, as a consequence of which an electrical discharge occurs.
In the device described above the role of the particle is played by the addi-
tional energy which is generated by the person and causes movement of the object.
When objects are moved by a subject, the force of sliding friction
sometimes decreases so much that the objects, as it were, "swim" in the air.
The cause of this probably resides in the following: In the absence of an elec-
tric field the air molecules have six degrees of freedom, while in a strong
electric field they are polarized; as a consequence of the polarization the
number of degrees of freedom decreases to two, and if the field is uniform, then
the aerostatic pressure of the directed stream of molecules is compensated by
the pressure of the opposite stream; however, if the field is nonuniform, then
the pressure of the air molecules in one direction will be greater than in the
other (i.e., an "electrical" wind will develop) and the objects will lose their
weight; this effect may be interpreted formally as an increase in air density,
the pseudodensity of the air medium becoming greater as the nonuniformity of
the field increases.
For a correct performance of experiment on electrical telekinesis,
one requires identical physical conditions. It is precisely for such a setup
for the experiments that it was discovered that the psychophysiological state
of the tested subjects has a considerably stronger effect on the success of
the experiment than, for example, atmospheric conditions do. Under hypnosis
the capabilities of those subjects which are susceptible to hypnosis improve.
An investigation of the psychic component of telekinesis demonstrated
that the phenomenon is amenable to training. At the beginning of the training

process the subjects usually are charged up by rubbing their hands against the
surface of a dielectric cube. Gradually, the subjects become used to working
without such charging up. The development of abilities for telekinesis is
facilitated by psychic stimulation. In a very good psychophysiological state
there is no need at all to create additional charges on the surface of a cube
by friction, since the dielectric surface accumulates energy generated by the
subject. After psychic training over a period of several months, certain sub-
jects induced a charge in the cube that was so great that any person coming
along after they had worked with the cube could move objects on it without
contact. The impression was created that the subjects were transferring their
ability to perform telekinesis to other people for a short time. Actually,
during the work with the object an accumulation of energy in the dielectric cube
takes place solely due to the trained subject. As a rule, when other persons
move the objects, they discharge the dielectric which has undergone preliminary
charging by the subject, and thus they are really using his energy which has
accumulated in the cube.
A rough calculation of the energy expenditures that accompany tele-
kinesis shows that an electrostatic field energy of E2/8w is insufficient to
move objects of a specified weight. Under stimulation by success (biological
feedback) the magnitude of the charge induced by the subject increases, but
the difference between the overall energy generated by the subject and the
electrostatic field energy likewise increases.

Electrical properties of acupuncture points. A correlation exists between the
psychic state of a person and the electrical characteristics of acupuncture
points [8]. An emotionally willed effort may be used to change the conductivity
of active points. This change in conductivity is specifically associated with
muscle tension, Taking account of the second part of the law of bioelectric
induction, it may be assumed that the change in the conductivity of the points
as a result of emotionally willed effort is associated with the induction of
a charge. However, one can reliably record a change in the psychic state of

a person by measuring the conductivity of the active points only by means of
an electronic amplifier having a characteristic with a steep slope. This fact
is probably evidence of small changes in the electrical properties of active
points during the transformation of psychic energy to electrical energy.
In.training subjects to develop their capabilities for performing
telekinesis, an electronic amplifier with a steep characteristic and a meter
at the output was used. The subjects, which had the active points on their
skin connected to electrodes that were in turn connected to an electronic
amplifier, caused the movement of the pointer on the meter by means of an effort
of will. Thus, control of the field during telekinesis may be accomplished not
only by moving the hand of the subject in space, but also as a result of a

The Kirlian effect. Obtaining images in the field of a high frequency
discharge is based on the phenomenon of autoelectronic emission [6]. Different
sectors of a person's skin, which have been photographed in a field of high
frequency currents, register an explicit dependence of the structure and color
of the images on the psychic state of the person. Such results are obtained
best when live objects are situtated in a high frequency electric field of
very high intensity. But, as is well-known, the current due to the cold emission
of electrons increases according to an exponential law, and this provides the
basis for assuming that even in the case given the change in the structure and
color of the images is associated with the second part of the law of bioelectric
induction. In order to check this proposition the following test was performed:
A unipolar pulse generator designed by engineer V. Vontorevich was used to obtain
high frequency images of inorganic objects and plant leaves without any addi-
tional electrical bias applied to the photographed object, as well as with
an*additional bias; the change in the structure of the images when an additional
direct voltage was applied suggests that the dependence of the structure and color
of the image on the psychic state of the person is associated with the generation
of an additional field by the person; actually, it is precisely the distribution
of the electric field intensity on the surface of the objects that is registered
on high frequency photographs.
The same pulse generator was used to obtain the images of the fingers
on the hands of the subjects in the conventional state and at that instant when
they concentrated their attention on telekinesis (not actually moving the object
but mentally imagining its movement). The change in the structure and color of

contactless movement of an object by a person is analogous to the principle
by which a Geiger counter works: the direct current amplifier used to record
the psychophysical state according to the variation of the conductivity of
active points on the skin must have a steep characteristic; obtaining high
quality images registering the psychic state of a person is based on cold
emission of electrons, and the dependence of autoelectronic current on the
electric field intensity is exponential. Thus, in order to transform psychic
energy into electrical energy one requires systems in a state of unstable
equilibrium.
Probably, the transformation of psychic energy may be accomplished
not only at the level of mechanical, electrical and light phenomena but also
at the level of radioactivity, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, sound and
gravitation. Thus, one can design psychotronic instruments whose principle
of operation is based on utilizing a state of unstable equilibrium (lasers
with preliminary pumping up to the level of "cutoff" of lasing, gyroscopes,
tape recorders with tape that is unmagnetized relative to a certain specified
level, etc.). It is possible that new forms of energy that are unknown today
will be discovered into which psychic energy may be transformed.
The hypothesis of a in-field leads to the necessity of analyzing not
only the informational but also the energy aspects in investigating psychic
phenomena.
If psychic energy can be quantized, the4 it is possible to state the
hypothesis to the effect that an entire class of elementary particles exists
which arise as a result of the psychic field.

CONCLUSION
In biology an abrupt change of biological properties is called a
mutation. Similarly, an abrupt in the psychic properties of individual persons
may be called a""psychic mutation." Such persons include those who are capable
of manifesting parapsychological phenomena. It may be assumed that if the
fourth state of matter--plasma--is incorporated in living organisms, then
plasma processes may be responsible for mutations, including psychic mutations.
In this case, one may trace the connection between living organisms and cosmic
phenomena through the action of natural electric and magnetic fields on the
plasma. However, psychics is capable of self-advancement--of developing and
overcoming the facts of the external medium. Therefore, a study of special
states of consciousness and psychic training at the level of psychoenergetics
by means of modern instrumentation has a significance that is just as great
as the investigation of the *-field of psychically talented persons.
