Scientific and technological modernization is the
linkage of the Four Modernizations. As natural, technical
and social sciences increasingly permeate each other, modern
science more and more shows its dual characteristics of
being natural and social. Or putting it in another way, in a
broad sense, modern science and technology include the
content of social science. Generally speaking, the study and
disposition of natural and technical sciences constitute the
interrelationship between man and nature, whereas what
social science considers is interrelationship between
humans. Now, the two in many respects are being fused into
an integral topic. Technical economics, management sciences,
systems science and systems engineering - these many fields
are intersections of natural science and technology with
social science, particularly in the speedy developing of new
technical science groups (computer, space and nuclear
science technologies and biological engineering technology,
etc.). As a result, many scientific experts and engineering
technicians now face a rigorous tasking of their knowledge.
Today, what people call modern science and technology
primarily refers to that at the end of the 19th and the
beginning of the 20th centuries. Some roughly estimate that
the obsolescence cycle of scientific knowledge where the two
centuries border on each other is about thirty years, but at
present this cycle has shrunk to half of that. The cycle for
rapidly acquired knowledge in some disciplines has been
reduced to ten or even five years. It has been learned
statistically that the indexed growth pattern of increased
documented science and technology averages a major turnover
every ten to fifteen years. In the 1980's, the annual rate
of increase in scientific and technological knowledge
reached a high of 13%. If Engels felt long ago that the rate
of scientific development in his time was so fast that he
had trouble keeping track, then today's rate of increase in
scientific and technological knowledge is even harder to
catch.
World economic and social competition today among
different nations with different systems in reality is
competition in science and technology and ultimately

 Approved For Release 2001/q1 /017g:,C -RDP96-00792R000200650024-9
competition for knowledge. Man's science and technology seek
economic gain, demanding the knowledge to acquire such and
social progress. Science and technology are productive
forces. In a certain sense, knowledge is also a productive
force. Science and technology are knowledge, but knowledge
has a broader face, for all the spiritual wealth created by
mankind falls into the category of knowledge. In broadening
the meaning of science and technology, the meaning of the
concept of knowledge is also broadened'.
The farther away people are from scientific
achievements that arouse their excitement, the better able
they are to gauge the actual magnitude. Time is an excellent
measurement of the value of a certain scientific discovery.
Aristotle was a great philosopher of ancient Greece, the man
who originated formal logic. His syllogism even today is
still the basic principle of logical reasoning. In the last
two hundred years, by which time study of logic had been
stagnant for about a. thousand years, there has been dazzling
progress. Boolean algebra, mathematical logic, etc.
established new milestone after milestone in the study of
logic. Even so, from where we stand two thousand years after
the fact, Aristotle's contribution remains a tall mountain
in the history of the development of logic.
Scientific theory is built on logical thought and
reasoning. Any scientific theory is a neat and orderly
mansion built by logic. This is especially true with
mathematics, the most stringent and mobile of the sciences.
After Aristotle produced formal logic, geometry was the
first to become such a mansion. The foundation stones of
this mansion are the geometry laws acknowledged to be
true without having to be proven, but the bricks that are
joined together to form the structure are made of logic.
Mathematicians can start off with a small number of
acknowledged truths and, after logical reasoning, lead to
all the geometric theorems; this was the greatest scientific
achievement of the time -- the Euclid geometry system. This
theoretical system exerted a massive influence upon
scientific theory that followed; after the 16th - 17th
centuries, scientists gradually came to recognize and
utilize Euclid's geometric structure to build similar
theory systems of extraordinary clarity and foresight.
Concerning scientists, the purpose of establishing this kind
of system was to use hypotheses that resembled generally
acknowledged truth and included the discipline's current
knowledge to forecast into the future; thus we would gain
even more systemic and deeper understanding of the natural
world.
In 1930, Austrian mathematician Kurt Godel published an
article, "On Formally Undecidable Propositions." This thesis
held that there could not be a completely non-contradictory
logical system, i.e., even concerning some very simple
Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000200650024-9
 Approved For Release 2001 /pp/q7g 8 _q -RDP96-00792R000200650024-9
formal systems (such as elementary mathematical theory),
after arriving at acknowledged truths and logical reason,
even if the system has no contradictions, there are still
questions that cannot be proven (i.e., decided). Since we
cannot use common truth or logical reason to determine
whether they are real, nor can we prove them to be false,
then they are undecidable! As when previously we had to try
to prove such undecidable questions, then we must add to the
acknowledged truth, but after the new truth is brought in,
the whole system still has no contradictions, then new new
undecidable questions will emerge, otherwise the entire
system's consistency will be broken. This is the content of
the "Godel Theorem of Imperfection," that a logical system
without contradictions cannot be perfect.
Because Godel belongs in the new era of the computer
and artificial intelligence. In this era, man became deeply
interested in the profound mysteries of thought, and changed
tremendously in how he looked at the world. In 1936, the
famous British mathematician Alan Turing brought out an
ideal calculator, the "Turing machine." He ingeniously
proved mathematically that an omniscient and omnipotent
calculator could not exist. This way of thinking resembled
that in Godel's topic. Turing proved that there were a
number of problems that a calculator would not be able to
solve; for example the Turing machine could not determine
whether it itself was in operation; later, some new
undecidable problems gradually were discovered. Today, or
perhaps before the fact, Godel's theorem has become one of
the foundations of man's search for the mysteries of
thought, planning of the computer and the study of
artificial intelligence.
Study of the history of science has shown that within
the entire domain of science, the development of scientific
theory has not become a perfect and closed system after its
presentation. The task of scientists is to start from this
theory and explain those problems that were presented.
Godel's theorem proved that a theoretical system's
perfection and lack of contradiction were mutually exclusive
of each other. The history of science also shows that the
major reason for the near majority of theoretical systems'
self-contradiction and dissolution was the result of
pursuing perfection relentlessly. Actually, any type of
theory in the scientific domain, in chasing after
perfection, trying to solve all problems proposed by the
system, often is forced to invoke new hypotheses, new
foundations. This new truth has the capability to destroy
the consistency of the original theory system, ultimately
affecting and changing the entire theory. Godel's theorem
started out from a general basis, proved that any
theoretical system's lack of perfection was not only normal
with respect to physics, chemistry and other natural
scientific theories, but also applied to the more

 Approved For Release 2001/ 0~/R7g 8 CjA-RDP96-00792R000200650024-9
stringently pure mathematics and logic. This proved
precisely that man's ability to understand had a type of
dynamic kinetic power. Man has used a theoretical system to
explain the world, but when building this theoretical
system, he will in time surpass it. Thus in dealing with
each problem it can be predicted that "if we must k ow, we
shall know." (Herbert - transl-iteration-) was right.
-------------
The concept that has most deeply influenced traditional
Chinese scientific theory possibly is the Ying and Yang
(negative-positive) doctrine of Passage of the Five Natural
Elements. Possibly, the birth of this doctrine was closely
related to the astronomy observations in ancient China, to
agriculture, treatment of illnesses and other such practical
production and science. In the primitive version of this
doctrine, the idea of Ying and Yang can be found in the Zhou
period's I Jing, or Book-of Changes. The I Jing was a method
of divination in the time of the Zhou dynasty. What remains
in it includes the incantations that recorded the
divinations, the diagrams and phrases of the I ding (around
the first years of the Western Zhou period or about 1120
B.C.), I Zhuan, or Chronicle of Changes which explains the I
Ching (the last years of the Warring States period and the
start of the Han dynasty or around 203 B.C.). Zhuang Zi
(around 300 B.C.) in his "Essay on Earth Under Heaven"
referred to "change.as the road to Ying-Yang." The I ding
used the Ying symbol of -- and the Yang - to form into the
Eight Diagrams, further evolving into the Sixty-four
Diagrams of divination` signs, and used these Ying-Yang
intersections to divine fortune or disaster. Granted that
this was superstition, but superstition frequently has been
the forerunner of science. Within the divinations of the I
ding were the seeds from which scientific thought
sprouted.
I Zhuan stressed the pattern of "constant change" of
"I" or change, but the cause of all formulations and changes
are attributed to the effects of Ying vs. Yang, hardness vs.
softness, movement vs. stillness, all opposing each other
and pushing each other so that one or the other grows or
shrinks. One of the diagrams describes it as the "two Qi of
Ying and Yang respond to each other... Heaven and Earth feel
it and a million things are created." In the last stages of
the Warring States period, the philosopher Xun Kuang pointed
out in his Essay on Heaven that the "stars revolve, the sun
and moon beckon and repel each other, the four seasons wax
and wane, Ying and Yang affect each other, wind and rain
struggle and a million things receive its harmony and are
born." The Eastern Han (25 A.D. - 220 A.D.) philosopher Wang
Chong followed up, developing the parts of the Passage of
the Five Elements and the Ying. and Yang of the Qin dynasty
(203 B.C.) that were connected to the two-Qi theory, and
consolidated the two Qi into a substantive primeval vitality
or Yuan Qi, and then claimed it to be the original source of

 Approved For Release 2001/0L330719Fl RDP96-00792R000200650024-9
all things in the cosmos. From this was established the
system of Qi as the primeval entity. Wang Chong in "On
Equilibrium" stated that "Man would not have been born in a
dead primeval Qi; in an agitated or unclear primeval Qi,
Man's Qi will exist." Wang Chong not only considered the two
Qi of Ying and Yang that gave birth to all things to be
combined into a substantive primeval Qi, but speculated over
the indestructability of material things and the world's
timelessnes4. At the time, this was a precious scientific
hypothesis.
The Doctrine of the Five Passages reached its
flourishing highest during the Western Han period, and
gradually declined after that. But those of its factors that
seemed reasonable, particularly the "Qi as one primeval
power theory" of Wang Chong and such let its influence
permeate through almost every scientific territory. China's
famous ancient scientists such as Zhang Heng, Yi Xing and
Shen Kuo all were experts in the Five Passages theory. Shen
Kuo's famed "Penned Comments of Dreamed Streams" devoted
seven sections especially to describe and comment on.I Ching
and the Ying-Yang Five Passages. To a certain extent, the
Five Passages is the summation of ancient China's natural
science in practice, which then exerted its influence in
encouraging and guiding the formulation and development of
Chinese traditional natural science theories. The Five
Passages doctrine to a certain degree has broadly affected
all of ancient China's natural sciences, and in particular
clearly and deeply influenced ancient Chinese astronomy,
chemistry and medical science. And its influences in these
sciences caused man to form clear concepts concerning
mankind, biology and non-living matter and their
interrelationships withn the cosmos such as regarding
astronomy, cosmic science; mentioned were the union of
Heaven and Earth's essence (harmonious Qi) as Ying and Yang,
the special essence (pure Qi) of Ying and Yang as the four
seasons, and the dissipation of the four seasons (scattered
Qi) as all things. Or, such as scientist Zhang Dai (Song
dynasty) explained that the cosmos' myriad beings included
Heaven, Earth, Sun, Moon and the stars. They assemble and
disperse, are created or destroyed, a definite pattern: "Qi
gathers and scatters, it has no birth nor death;" the Great
Void cannot be without Qi, Qi cannot avoid gathering to be
all beings, the beings cannot avoid scattering into the
Great Void, so entering or leaving are not by one's own
will." To understand the theory above, it may be necessary
to break down to separate disciplines for study and proof,
so that its effects, capabilities and theoretical
foundations may be discussed from different angles.

Chinese Qigong and Modern Medical Science
Feng Lida
November 1986
Because the new technological revolution,
especially in biological technology and the life sciences,
is now being widely applied in the domain of medical
science, control of the procedures in their various branches
dealing with life has aroused extreme social concern.
Strength of public feeling extenlding into non-human areas
has presented newissues for us. The new technological
revolution has created a tremendous impact upon medical
science, The changing pattern of medicine has also deeply
influenced medical science. Therefore, the breadth and depth
of medical knowledge now has a greatly different intrinsic
quality from that of the past. The composition of its basic
knowledge now includes the natural and social sciences.
Scientific development and the. increasingly evident
interflow among the various disciplines that hitherto had
not been closely aligned to medicine are getting closer and
closer. As the basic knowledge that medical science relates
to is expanded evermore, the expansion of basic knowledge
extends horizontally leading to massive changes to the
structure of knowledge.
In view of these changes, a current discipline puts on
a new face because of the interflow of different
disciplines. We must understand its most important models
which can be roughly divided into six: 1. peripheral
disciplines, the most important of which come from the
interflow of two or three different disciplines, permeating
into each other but forming into a discipline on the
periphery; 2. transverse or cross-sectional, material of
different structural arrangement forming a discipline and
becoming a common study subject; 3. composite discipline, a
specially designated problem or subject for study; the
complexity of the problem precludes the possibility that any
one discipline could complete the study task and so it needs

 Approved For Release 2001/pj/g79 8CJ.-RDP96-00792R000200650024-9
a combination of the theories, methodology and technological
procedures of many disciplines before the problem can be
solved; 4. soft science, referring to a number of higher
disciplines that have a high degree of intelligence and
capability for synthesis; the objects of study not only
include natural phenomena, science and technology, but also
the various interrelationships and effects of social
phenomena concerning man and social factors; 5. comparative
science, the overall term for various comparatve
disciplines; and 6. all other new disciplines.
According to the above and the development of science,
the composition of professional medical knowledge follows
the patterns of change in biology, psychology, sociology and
medicine, changing the composition of the original
professional knowledge. The utilization of new technology
also has brought many problems, such as how to cope with new
situations, requiring the medical world not only to
understand and be familiar with basic and utilitarian
medical science, but concurrently to understand
technological knowledge.
Compilation of technological knowledge has now become a
sine qua non for medical personnel; with the development of
the new technological revolution, the dependence of medical
science upon science and technology has become even more
apparent; each such 'transplantation of science and
technology into medicine evokes modernization of diagnostic
and healing measures, thus was born X-ray fault scanning by
computer, nuclear-magnetic resonance, B-type supersonic and
other diagnostic equipment.
In the formulation of the new technological revolution,
the medical world must also establish a proper view of
nature, be concerned with theories on information,
systemics, control, structural dissolution, solar harmony,
mutation and other theories related to social sciences as
well as the various relationships between the whole and the
part in the study of the human body, and that between high
and low orders, including human physiology, psychology. The
links between man and the environment all have great
significance. We can see from the circumstances described
above the appearance of shapes that can appropriately react
to the new science and technology.
Today is the day of the new scientific and
technological revolution. In the face of new happenings
every day in this revolution, productive force develops
quickly. One by one, old concepts are discarded; people's
trains of thought and fields of vision also undergo. many
changes. After having been tested and applied, new theories
and disciplines make their appearance one after the other.
The appearance of these disciplines occurs in the face of
mankind's constant development of the science and
technological revolution; their points of view and thought

 Approved For Release 2001/Q3/0?98CIA-RDP96-00792R000200650024-9
gradually extend farther and wider and gradually become
globally familiar. Viewed from a combined cosmic and human
angle, space (two dimensions or even three dimensions) and
earth, even the interrelationship among the particles inside
the human body have a definite connection to microcosmic
psychology and thought. Under these circumstances, one can
gradually become aware of the existence of the individual
and of the group, immunization, health, recovery and their
close connection and relationship to all within the social
domain such as productive forces, education and human
talent.
Now that the time of the new science and technological
revolution is here, it cannot be separated from the
development of the history of science. Reflecting back on
another aspect of the history of scientific development we
can categorically consider mathematics as the foundation and
instrument of development of physics, astronomy as well
as engineering technology; and mathematics has been able to
follow technological needs and further develop itself. For
example, the methodology of the innate laws of classical
mathematics, that of probability statistics in statistical
mathematics, indistinct mathematics' blurred methodology,
planning in biological mathematics, etc. all have been
developed in the midst of studying practical problems in
science and technology. Their common pattern is: "actual
problem -- mathematicization (quantitative analysis) --
mathematical model (qualitative analysis) -- feedback and
revision (practical tests) -- determine theory."
Medical science is no exception, when Blair studied
nervous excitation problems, he used mathematical physics
methods to establish differential equations that led to the
medically famous nervous stimulation theoretical formula;
without mathematics there would have been no such theory.
The pattern of modern mathematicization is going
through even greater development pushed by the waves of the
new scientific and technological revolution. The title of
the thesis of mathematician Jerne (transliteration), 1985
Nobel prize winner for medicine, was "The Theory of the
Immunization Network," in which he proposed a new matrix for
modern medical academic disciplines:
"Medical immunity problems -- mathematicization
(knowledge expressed through technology) -- computers
complete calculations and proofs (mechanization infers
technology) -- feedback and revision (practical testing) --
Immunization Network Theory (system builds technology)."
This modernized matrix for study disciplines combined
profession, mathematics and computer into one body and would
push modern science and technology progress sharply. Marx
long ago said, "a kind of science can really reach a stage
10

 Approved For Release 2001/Ob3o71 gcJ#rRDP96-00792R000200650024-9
of perfection only when it has successfully applied
mathematics."
Mathematics has yet to acquire importance in our
country's medical circles. In the 1950's when institutions
and departments underwent realignment, medical schools were
split out to be independent of the consolidated type of
university, but conversely, the science departments were
weakened and few studied mathematics. In 1981, class hours
of higher mathematics began to be returned to that in 1954,
only enough to tal.k a bit about calculus. The Western
nations were learning modern mathematics, such as biological
mathematics, indistinct mathematics, mutation theories,
programming, networking analysis, prioritization theory,
etc. Our country's medical science must urgently work hard
to catch up in these areas; otherwise, we may be as some
experts in our country have said, "Our medical authorities
today cannot understand the theses in one-fifth to one-third
of the world's major medical journals because they contain
large quantities of mathematics." Comparatively few of our
own medical journals have used higher mathematics to
express formulae. Historically, our country had been a king
in medicine and also in mathematics; in the widespread
interflow of different disciplines of today,.if we would
apply mathematics to our country's unique medical science,
there could be even greater developments, and in terms of
application to the various disciplines, could make an even
greater contribution to the sum total of disease prevention
and world medicine.
Medicine is an applied discipline. In the areas of
basic theory and clinical application, correct evaluation of
disease causes, transmission, treatment results are key to
applied science, and are also among the most important
factors to point applied science in the correct direction.
,This kind of correct evaluation requires applying different
modern sciences including mathematics that can synthesize
the analysis of problems in order to extract true material
after separating false from true.
Elements that cause sickness or recovery in organisms
are very complex. They take form influenced by the synthesis
of many different elements. Clinical symptoms, body
condition and laboratory data can be the synthetical
expression of physical and chemical phenomena, or joint
presentation of the two. Thus, our immediate task is to
search for laws of immunity physics and immunity chemistry
by first considering the connection between physical and
chemical phenomena (including biophysical and biochemical
phenomena), the principles and methods of applied physics,
study of chemical change and study in depth the connection
between the laws of chemical and physical changes. The idea
of immunity chemistry, a new branch of immunolgy, is already
in initial formation. It affords a definite explanation and

proof that organism immunity, antigens and antibodies
interact upon each other. But it is not enough just to use
chemistry to explain and offer as proof, for it is unclear
on the mechanics of immunity. To study scientific progress
of further physiological and pathological changes in
organisms, we must begin using new concepts in one of the
basic modern sciences, physics, and new technology including
electronics to study the physiology and pathology of
organisms gradually form one or more kinds of 4eripheral
disciplines and move into brand-new territory.
In recent years, many Chinese as well as foreign
scholars and medical personnel have adopted new electronic
technology and test measures in scientific search for
certain phenomena and mechanics of Chinese Qigong. They
submit that three billion years ago the most primitive
living things first appeared on our planet. Upon birth, they
continued to multiply selectively. In the lengthy time
since, they became biologically varied, applying the basic
principle of moving forward to produce myriads of breeds and
varieties, performing the various functions of life:
1. Mimcroorganisms: some varieties could withstand
temperatures below 0?C or above 100?C or flourish in
oxygen-lacking environments.
2. Plants: Aside from using chlorophyll in
photosynthesis common to all, some could move far away or
react quickly to certain stimulations.
3. Animals: Some are luminescent, others emit electric
waves, still others use electric waves, magnetic fields
infrared or supersonics to shake off predators and enemies.
These functions are general within the species, but can be
said to be a kind of "special function."
In the evolution of living things, about four hundred
million years elapsed for ancestral man to go from the
lowest order to the highest. In this time, man like other
animals, was subjected to various rays, particles, energy
fields in nature and physical, chemical as well other
stimuli, forging an ability to defend against various
incursions and calamities and provided various functions
common to living things, extracted information from sound
and light, electromagnetics, heat, vibrations and radiations
and all kinds of pollutants. If man could hear the vibration
of a microsound 1/10 of the diameter of the atom hydrogen,
he also could bear an amplification 1,012 times louder than
that. Man's ear could deal with changes of sound of
different amplitudes; objectively ten times the emanation
and subjectively only two times; subjectively increase to
four times that which is one hundred times louder and thus
preserve man's hearing from damage.

In the billions of people, human functional ability is
uneven and can more or less be divided into "recessive" and
"dominant" groups. Dominant functions include those that are
the normal functions of the various organs.

Chinese Qigong: Present and Future
Feng Lida
December 1987
The reason the technological revolution that is
currently flourishing world-wide can be called a new
technological revolution stems from consideration of those
that have already happened. It is world-wide because of its
deep and wide effects'. The history of human civilization
is actually that of science and technology. The first
scientific technological revolution was when man invented,
studied and used steam engines after the Iron Age. Its
productive force surpassed the sum total of all that had
been created in the past. The second was signified by a
breakthrough in the study of electromagnetism and wide use
and application of electric power . The third such global
revolution, compared to the first two and whose
characteristic is in the foundation laid by rich natural
science theoretical study, such as this century's
outstanding theory of relativity, quantum mechanics of the
1920's, atomic structure and basic particles of the 30's and
40's, molecular studies in the 50's, recent electronics,
particle biology and other breakthroughs in basic sciences.
They made firm the technological and theoretical science
bases for such new technologies as computers and micro-
electronics, biology, information, etc. Or in other words,
these would not be here without such basic scientific break-
throughs. Its second characteristic is that these were not
individual entities but technology groups, e.g., those that
affect economics, society and national defense the most are
information, biology, new materiel, new energy sources,
space, oceanic and space navigation technology. These

product to be property but the cyclical duration generally
is determined by the technology and its advancement stage,
social needs and material needs for social change. Past
technology often needed decades or longer to go from
emergence to transformation; technological and social
improvements shortened the time greatly. Some quickly became
products and then property. The fourth point is development
speed affects depth. Some new technology in the past needed
decades or longer to form a newer one. Now, one seems to
follow the other. For example, 1942 saw the first nuclear
reactor pile, 1946 the electronic computer, 1947 the
semiconductor transistor, 1957 launched the first man-made
satellite, the integrated circuit in 1959, lasers in 1960
and hereditary genes splicing and reforming in 1973.
Computers are now in its fifth generation. One can see the
speed. Its deep and wide influence not only affected the
production process of matter, the scope of spiritual
products, but economic, political and military strategy. It
also hit the home and changed man's traditional birth
methods.
China's Qigong's coming into being and growth, like
other scientific knowledge, summarizes the long-term
exercise of man's struggle with nature and environment
(macroscopic and microscopic world views). As a discipline,
its contents are wide in scope, its basic study direction is
limited to subjective sensation, and clinical examination
developing to applied modern biology, electronics, electro-
chemistry, magnetics, microwaves, mathematics and other
singular disciplines interacting and blending with each
other in in-depth study of the possibilities of relationship
and effect between "Qi" and the macro-microscoic world.
In human body sciences, Chinese Qigong is regarded as
the dooropener to study. What is the concept of Qigong
functionability and what is the functionability of the human
body (produced from Qigong) is something needing careful
consideration.
Human body functions are those basic characteristics
expressed under a standard timetable, an objective
existence. Looking at it from modern systemics, the human
body is a huge, complex system. It includes many subsystems,
such as systems, organizations, cells, molecules and other
series, each one being a large human body system. More than
fifty years ago, a founder of the systems theory, Austrian
theoretical biologist L. vonBeiderrampf (transliteration)
while critiquing the foundation of traditional mechanical
theory first proposed that a living thing was a standard
body which, concurrently with its environment can be studied
as one entire large system and form a typical or general
system. He stressed the penness of systems, i.e.,
quantitative and material exchanges (including information).
When the orderly nature of living things and that of

life phenomena merge with the stable structure of systems,
the orderliness stabilizes the system structure. Immunology
is the discipline studying immunity functions of the human
body, and thus also studies human body functinability and
how to keep it stable and orderly. This requires deep
understanding of systems, thermodynamics, harmonies, quantum
and other theories. Under temporary or different
circumstances, stability may be lost resulting in abnormal
functions (immunity functions become abnormal). After such a
correct explanation, this will spur recognition of organism
functions (immunity) and human body functionability (modern
immunology). This new understanding will get good results in
efforts to recover the stability of the (large) system.
Some scholars feel that man 2_-animal s,_ pl ants, even
rocks and minerals as well as all organic and inorganic
matter radiate a sort of ray into space that the naked eye
cannot see. In the atmosphere, even nature or a vacuum is
f-ull .. of this unobserved_._radiatio,ni though there may_ e one
o_r-__two__i_n_ ten,s__of, tho.uaands__that can directly "see its color

rays.
Many scientists and technical experts have_sought to
Al es trying to explain
unravel this mystery from different an
its nature via bioelec_tricitstatic electricity,
electromagnetic waves, neutrons, atmospheric electricity,
ions, etc.
Japanese scholar Uchida Hideo et al studied the
quantitative change of man's body rays into electric
current, the rays and the special nature of electricity at
ac_upuncturepoints_ofa_man's body and proved that the
mechanics of the rays from man and all other animals plants
and inanimate objects had to do with body temperature, or
heat energy. Biolelectric currentiand such energy, sources as
atmospheric electric--Tcharqes radiate el ectricmagnetic waves
into space ionizing the sur.r.oundin-g air which forms into
static fields, and then emanates rays not seen by the naked
eye.
After long testing, some scholars concluded that the
mechanics of the rays resembled that of _fTuoresent -matter,
its energy source is heat energy expressed by temperature,
b i o l o g i c a l current, atmospheric charges and the electro-
magnetic _quantity_ i n cosmic T I These are connected with
individual conditions, but all have fixed wave-Ten-ohs.-Each
has its own quantitative reception zone, when stimulated by
energy, it creates a radiation of a secondary energy. This
is the radiated wave,_schoiarscall it"aural" radiation.
This secondary radiation ionizes the air into a static
field which can be examined. We now come u-pon wave length
differences, one kind can he seen and is fluorescent.

People have comparatively observed Scorpio with Mars
using the naked eye and test equipment and determined that
objectively speaking, "auras" no doubt exist. In considering

Scholars developed an instrument to measure highly
sensitive_supermicro.electro-magnetic fields, and definite y
proved that such rays exist objectively. Also, it determined
that humans and other material in the living environment all
have such. "aura" waves. As they are related to the number of
magnetic fields, the "auras" have_a qua_ntitative area of 1
square meter .(not plane, but spherical) with effective___v_a1ue
of 1 ampere current (whether direct or alternate) as 1
"aura . " Where there i s _general h_eaTti; _t,ie magneti Cl`ie1 d
energy can be measured in terms of a ne ative charge,
whereas those sick or tired can be done as a positive
charge. Thus %t expYai:ns one s ee furtfer' -~ia`t the air in a
living environment or a'Il material receive "auras". This
aura ties closely in with our health. These scholars
believe the scope of relationship depends on environmental
conditions. Adults differ from children; in general, using
adult faces as index, the scope ranges from horizontally of
tens of centimeters to 1 meter, but when the atmosphere is
unpolluted and the body is healthy, it can increase
considerably. It is either round or oval. In rain, when the
air is unclean or body is sick, it can reduce to a fraction
and change shape. Active organism have been seen to change
from positive to negative "auras" 10 - 20% in value. Those
measured at the head or limbs can go up or down several
times the dimensions of the original, it can also be changed
by deep breathing.
In tests, scholars paid attention to effects of
clothing and, after many tests, proved that clothed bodies
and those with gold, silver and other minerals had effects
little different from those not wearing them. But those sick
or tired showed unusual positive "aura." Also showing
positive was when food with a positive charge was eaten'
A cup of coffee showed positive through the alimentary
canal, throat, sophagus to the stomach; dusty areas also
showed positive and when tired (long nights up or
worried) , it showed weak positive. In head cases such as
cerebral hemorrhage or ringing ears, aside from unusual
waves, a strong positive "aura" projected from the head
Hypersensitives emanated a very strong positive wave from
the head and neck down to the back .
Also, pregnancies had separate negative waves from the

head and abdomen, but a positive one of several centimeters
near the eyes. Extensive tests showed such radiation started
at conception. Positive waves showed in these areas after an
operation or after anesthesia, and a negative-charge film
that was hole shaped. Lastly, tests showed that during
public exhibits or when there was disorder or much arguing,
even when it occurred during testing (while the face was
smiling), certain facial expressions or the sides of the
face harbored wide-angle positive rays.
Miscarriages showed positive, spherical waves measuring
15-20 centimeters shaped like small balloons if they could
ever have been seen by the naked eye.
Scholars scientifically explaining all this feel that
this is thefourthnew world 's m stery. There is a definite
relationship between these aural reactions and activities of
the brain, ideas, consciousness and the spirit. They feel
that such radiation1ayerss are som_e.what thin and are -easily
a ffected by, external magnetic fields when dissatisfied with
life, no consciousness about self-conduct and morality, in-
sensitivity to troubles of others, or self-confidence is
lost. We feel that we can catch a disease easily because of
_
mental or _pFysicaT~%s orT ons;_a _?suscep ible person.
Conversely, if we are satisfied and have strong confidence
inii e, Mien to radiation-1_- avers are thick and more
resistant to externaT-Amagnetic fields. Thus-"-there is greater
ability .to resist external harassment (including factors
conducive to sickness), and distortions of mind and
ycan~be avoid-ed From another angle, it might be asked
whether the thick-layered ones did entirely escapy external
magnetic effects, but had greater resistance and so had no
distortions. Concurrently they had a small amount of
external (environmental) magnetic influence or tempering.
Qigong uses external*welectromagnetic power, such as in
Qigong exercises and thusmstrenathens its original
functions, use external Qi to treat sickness an..d act on
other thin s and differentendeavors (agriculture, physical
training, mining,_etc. ) a_s potential functions. It
stimulates the vitality_of factors inside the body with
differentantibody elements to -increase an use t e
organism'sintellgence and physical ability.
From the above, we can see the mechanics of the fourth
new world. Where inside the body does the source of the
auras man launches lie? Some scientists feel the body has
very short magnetic waves, infrared and ultraviolet rays,
X-rays and other invisible light and magnetic waves
radiating into the surrounding area which lead to very weak
continuous ionization of the air, or cause the air to make a
secondary radiation, but generally this is not considered a
good explanation of the functional mechanics.
Any good explanation no doubt would be linked to the

exercise of man's potential function, its categorization,
scope and strength. Some made tests, as they, of course, did
not know the functions of internal and external Qi and the
effects of stimulating the latent functions; they thus
measured the special "auras" of some super sensitive and
super capable individuals. The results of 19 tested were:
1. Position: Mostly center of the frontal eminence
(resulting from the testing, but because individuals
varied). This is near the Heavenly Eye point, the diameter
was several centimeters and round or oval (not identical);
angle was of a searchlight projecting forward at a 30 to 60
degree angle, a definite relationship between the radiation
distance and the level of Qigong, or the radiation layer of
the individual with effort spent. Many tests showed
generally the human body's slack distance was about 1 meter.
Diameter of scope of sensitivity was 1 to 2 centimeters,
such as in lasers radiating in three-dimension. The
supercapable people (we mean those that could exercise their
latent functions after qigong training) had a much wider
scope, and strong aural rays frontward, especially near the
Heavenly Eye treating veins (Second Eye); next came the
throat, pit of the stomach and the belly button area and in
the male sex organs in a vertical line bisecting the body,
and rather strong "aural" rays along the veins.
Tests showed that each person contained a special
series of radiation fields not too different from each
other, but the whole body is not a negative radiation field
but positive. They considered this a special physique and
those with this physique could feel the cold breath from the
point of infection of the sick.
Characteristic of the "aura" of an infant who had just
learned to walk is a negative charge and a hemispheric
shape, different from radiation fields in general.
Also, scholars feel that people's life environment is
full of public menaces from polluted air, so that the "aura"
(negative) daily receives serious frenzied attacks, the
utensils constantly used in daily life such as electrical
products, appliances, daily tools, construction material,
etc. all can radiate substances different from that of the
body, all are public menace substances. Their radiation
field can also be measured. Concurrently, scholars urge that
attention be paid to substances that bring harm and
harassment to the body's radiation field, and which also
distort the body's acupuncture points or electric charge.
Yet the charge (changing negative to positive) and the
functions of the internal organs have a close relationship.
Therefore, the results hint at possibly affecting the health
of the human body.
The recognitions and phenomena described above are
thought by scholars to be the most serious of difficult
