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 phenomena so that control is feasible. Control and manipulation of the human'co:asciousness must be considered a primary goal. DST-18105-381-75 September 1975 According to both Soviet and Czech researchers, one major advantage of studying psychotronic generators is the reproducibility of their ef- fects; in addition, they can be activated by nearly anyone, with or with- out any special psychic a'R litieg. 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, head of the Psychotronic Research Section of the Czechoslovakian Society for Science and Technology, termed the experiments wi_h 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 Pavlita 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, Favlita 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, Pavli:a'3 devices could probably exert an effect on humans at only relativei'' s?i t range. It is po%::lble that their size could be enlarged or their energy amplified, thereby ex- tending their range. If the Czech claims for these devices are vaild, biological energy might he an effective antipersonnel weapon. It would be difficult. to defend against. since it apparently penetrates most conraon fat-ms 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 effectivcnes. Soviet or Czech perfection of psychotronic weapons would pose a severe threat to enemy military, embassy. or security funnctions. The emitted energy would he 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.

The Soviet emphasis on the electrostatic and electromagnetic componerts of the enerEy may play an Important role in the final determination (t the nature of psychical phenomena. This emphasis on enertetics or irter- act.ion effects has lead to the concept that man must be investigated as a coapletc,,integrated unit. Soviet and Czech psychotronic research will eventually be applied to human problems. As this occurs, the question will arise whether thtt, knowledge and the equipment developed will be used for the enhanecmer?t of human freedom and socicl development, or for regimentation and enslavement. Psychotronics could conceivably play a role in contributing to the s*,rvival 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 transtt?r 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 he psychic" malpractice, although the Soviets and Czechs are not likely to publicize ?tFiis fact.' Roth Czech and US researchers have described Robert PnvlLta's w.,rk with psychotronic generators as possibly the most important contemporary development in the field of parapsychology and as a major contrihnti-sn to the deeper understanding, mastery, and utilization of biological energy for human advantage. Ju:ac as in the example of direct transfer of bin- logical energy for medical purposes, the use of such devices is not Approved For Release 200.3/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000500730002-1 STAT Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000500730002-1 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000500730002-1
