IN COMMENMORATION OF THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF CIHS

The California Institute For Human Science (CIHS) is a graduate school that was established, as the name indicates, with the scientific study of the human being as its goal.

Medical science has as its research object the human body, while psychology and psychiatry have as their research object the human mind. The phrase "human science" used in the name of CIHS, has the whole of the body, mind, and soul as its research object.

In regards to the body, it conducts research in Eastern medicine as represented by India, China and Japan, which takes the body as a system of bio-energy. At the same time, it conducts research in Western medicine that regards the body as an organic system in terms of cell structure and molecules (e.g., DNA). Moreover, it pursues an integration of Eastern and Western medicines. Even though it is small in scale as a school, the quality of its research has received high international acclaim.

In regards to the mind, it has laid a foundation for neurophysiological research, in addition to the research in psychology and psychiatry, and has conducted research in connection with the soul. For example, it has explored the relationship between consciousness and the brain, and the connection of consciousness with superconsciousness. This is an area which life-physics pursues as an object of its research.

Now, in regards to the soul, the soul differs from those beings, like the body and consciousness, which follow the law of physical time and space. Instead, it is a being which follows the law of the superconscious (e.g., the law of karma) or of the super-physical spirit, which does not follow the law of physical time and space. An emancipated, pure spirit that has transcended karma is not restricted by the law of karma.

The world of this emancipated, pure spirit cannot be awakened and cannot be experienced unless one achieves, through rigorous religious-cultivation of self-negation, an evolution that transcends the dimension of the soul wherein exists the spirit-body. It creates and maintains the natural world that is the research object of science, as well as the spirit world that is comprised of souls. However, contemporary science has no research method to explore it.

The world of souls contains spirit-bodies, and it is not restricted by the law of physical time and space, but follows instead a law that enables a spiritual being to exist in the world of souls. It creates time and space in accord with a spirit, an emotion and a will, which delimits the world of souls.

A soul that works following the law of superphsyical time and space acts by following a certain spiritual condition. And as long as the condition is created such that it is in agreement with the law of its spiritual nature and spirit-body, it is possible to repeatedly obtain the same result.

At the Institute of Religion and Psychology, which laid a cornerstone for establishing CIHS, experiments were initially conducted to prove that the soul exists independently of the laws of physical time and space. One of them was an experiment in which light was emitted through the exercise of the thought-power of a soul in a pitch-dark shielded room, cutting off the interference of electro-magnetic waves from the outside. This experiment demonstrated that the psi-energy of the soul is capable of creating light. The result calls into question the law of the constancy of energy, taken to be the major, foundational premise of today's physics. That light (matter, physical energy) was created by means of psi-energy, transcending the law of physical time and space, suggests that physical phenomena are created by the soul with its psi-energy. When its creation stops, both matter and energy comes to cessation. Moreover, it suggests that physical energy can, by no means, be something that is constant.

Next, it is known that one to twenty bio-photons per second are emitted from a living organism when a cell of a living organism becomes excited by metabolic and other activity. Through research we conducted at both the Institute of Religion and Psychology and CIHS, we discovered that when a psychic emits psi-energy from his/her palm, directing it to a photon-counter, the number of photons emitted from the hand increases from 300 to 2000 per second. We discovered that a psychic's psi-energy generates photons and increases its number.

Moreover, according to a recent study conducted at CIHS, we learned that although the bio-photon, having a red spectrum of 600-700/s (believed to be derived from oxygen atom), is ordinarily emitted from a living organism, the photon associated with the hydrogen atom, with the size of approximately 300 nanometers, increases when psi-energy is emitted. From this experiment we can infer that psi-energy, not delimited by physical time and space, can easily interfere with the hydrogen atom in a certain condition. We are now in preparation for detecting what this "condition" is.

Recently at the Institute of Religion and Psychology we conducted an experiment in which I saw eleven subjects through my spiritual glance, in order to check which cakras the energy centers of the spirit-body were awakened in each of the subjects and whether they were active in the spirit world. Of the eleven subjects, three had one of their cakras awakened, and four were about to awaken a certain cakra, and the remaining subjects did not show even a sign of awakening. We continuously measured the activity of the meridians, and examined if there occurred an increase of ki-energy in the meridians correlated with the cakras. Of the three subjects whose cakras were awakened, we observed an increase of ki-energy at a significant level, while there occurred no change in those whose cakras were not awakened. I have conducted this kind of experiment numerous times, and have obtained identical results. This suggests that 1) there exists a capacity of superconscious cognition; 2) the soul exists, indicating the reality of this cognition; and 3) the soul of the body, that is, the spirit-body, exists.

Cakras are conversion points wherein psi-energy is transformed into physical energy, which, in the present case, is ki-energy. Psi-energy suggests many interesting things such as that it can respond to ki-energy much easier than to physical-chemical energy such as ATP.

CIHS is a graduate school that was established with the purpose of clarifying the correlative relationship among body, mind and the soul, while also attempting to prove, even indirectly, the existence of the soul. I am feeling great joy in the fact that it is steadily actualizing its plans.

One of the eight principles that were set up when establishing CIHS is the integration of religion and science. The 2Oth century has made it possible to grasp the minuscule world of the nanometer with quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity in physics, and its applications developed through industrial technology.

Biology discovered the cellular structure and DNA at the molecular level, and started addressing issues related to life-phenomena, making it possible to alter species of plants and animals and moreover to produce clone animals through the manipulation and cloning of DNA. On the other hand, neurophysiology has pursued the clarification of the relationship between brain and consciousness through the discovery of modules in localized sections of the brain, a theory has even been proposed to incorporate the function of consciousness into the functions of the brain.

The above results of scientific research propelled a tendency to consider the human being as physical and, with it, brought about a deterioration of morality as well as a weakening of conscience, humaneness, and spirituality. In the advanced nations, where a material culture has developed, we have seen the birth of young people who do not feel any pang of conscience in killing people. Various peoples of the world have insisted on the superiority and absoluteness of their own religion. As a consequence conflict and war have frequently erupted amongst religions and civilizations. Today, people are facing the loss of humanity, the fall of religion, and wars. Thus many have begun to seriously think about religion in the hope of restoring humanity and spirituality.

CIHS was created to establish a new field of scholarship that aims to demonstrate scientifically the existence of the human soul. It is starting to clarify the fact that the human being is a whole being consisting of the three dimensions of body, mind and soul. For this purpose, it has conducted anatomical-physiological research on bio-energy (ki-energy), scientific research on the existence of the soul, has elucidated paranormal phenomena through research in life physics, photon emission by means of psychokinesis through research in quantum physics, and the experience of an inner God (Soul) through Yoga meditation.

The human being ranges over three dimensions: 1) the body which follows the law of physics, 2) the mind that is a soul functioning in connection with consciousness and the brain, and 3) the soul which is not controlled by the laws of physical time and space, but which embraces the world of religion consisting of love, wisdom, conscience, creativity and formative power. The human being is that being which integrates mind, body and the world of religion in itself.

I think it is the task of humankind in the 21st and 22nd centuries to prove scientifically that a free spirit (the soul or God), that is not controlled by the laws of physical time and space, is the source for creating the physical world. This task consists of clarifying, by integrating religion and science, a way of living for the human being as a whole that includes body, mind, and soul without becoming steeped in the idea of human being as merely matter or body.

CIHS, despite being a small graduate school, will take a firm step to move toward realizing this great goal.

UPDATE ON RESEARCH AT CIHS
History of Life Physics Research

CIHS received its first AMI in the summer of 1993. The first research project I was involved in (Fall of 1993) was to assess the utility of the AMI in lower back pain. Adult subjects were divided into three groups with about 30 subjects in each group (males and females combined): subjects with lower back pain, subjects with pain somewhere in the body but not in the lower back and subjects with no pain. The results showed that the AMI could be used to discriminate between subjects with lower back pain vs. other bodily pain and control (no pain) groups. We were able to determine that only about 15% of the subjects complaining of lower back pain had actually an injury in the lower back. This result was similar to the results of low back injuries in the other two groups. The AMI was also able to show that most people complaining of lower back pain had actually digestive problems (statistically significant results were obtained for liver, gall bladder and stomach). According to Traditional Chinese Medicine their lower back pain was due to these digestive problems through the associated point of the stomach, liver and gall bladder. This project was completed with an internal report written in 1995.

Since 1996, several externally sponsored research projects were conducted at CIHS resulting in income and publications. These sponsored research projects included testing new devices, new Energy Psychology modalities to treat phobias and psychological traumas, water impregnated with the energetic signature of vitamins, minerals or other compounds, and the effects of different hands-on healing methods, among other things.

In 1997, a proposal to study the diagnostic utility of the AMI to detect breast cancer was sent to the U.S. Army in collaboration with Dr. Tripathi of UCLA Medical School. The research got a fairly good review but was not funded. The main criticism was that we did not have enough medical supervision and clinical access to patients.

In 1998, we started doing serious research on biophotons with one of our graduates, Dr. Eugene Wallace. In his dissertation, he was able to show the effect of intentionality on biophoton emission from subjects' right hand. Some subjects were able to increase (or decrease) biophoton emission, some others could not. Dr. Wallace was also able to show an enhancing effect of quartz crystals on biophoton emission. In Dr. Wallace's dissertation, the AMI was used to look at the distribution of bio-energy in the body of subjects before and after attempts to increase biophoton emission. Today this effort is continuing with another student who is doing part of his research at the International Institute of Biophysics (IIB), under the supervision of Dr. Roeland Van Wijk. This student is looking at the effects of attempts to increase biophoton emission from the right hand on the statistical distributions and on the spectral distribution of the biophotons.

In 1999, we compiled all the data accumulated at CIHS with the AMI and made an AMI standard for Southern California. The standard used about 2,500 AMI measurements done since 1993. This Southern California AMI standard data was utilized (with data on Japanese people in Japan) to compare different ethnic groups: Caucasians living in California, Asians living in California, Hispanics living in California and Japanese people living in Japan. This study was published in Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine, Volume 9, Number 2. The same Southern California AMI standard data was also utilized to compare genders. This study has been submitted for publication in Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine.

In 2000 we did 4 proposals to the Frontier Science program of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM, part of NIH) in collaboration with Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine (SCIM). We did not get funded, but we are committed to continue our good collaboration with SCIM. Our next project with SCIM is to investigate whether the AMI can be useful in understanding the outcome of their Healing Hearts Program for cardiac patients. This program includes supervision by Dr. Guarneri (Director of the Center), exercises for cardiovascular training, cardiac monitoring during exercise, stress management classes, low fat cooking demonstrations, support sessions, lectures and more.

On Nov. 2, 2001, the first joint CIHS-UCSD meeting took place at CIHS with the participation of Dr. Pineda of the Cognitive Science Department. We hope for a closer collaborative effort with UCSD.

In July 2002, CIHS received the new Japanese AMI that works with Windows 95, 98, 2000 and Millennium, resulting in a much more accurate and easier system to work with. The new system was presented at the AMI certification course and is now being used by students in this course. Soon we are expecting to receive the first continuous measurement of meridian energy machine, with a new 28 channels continuous AMI system.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CIHS

CIHS was established as a non-profit corporation by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama in 1991. The location of the school in California was preceded by what could be characterized as intellectual short-sightedness on the part of the Japanese government, which could not adequately take in Dr. Motoyama's concept of interdisciplinary frontier science. Dr. Motoyama was therefore obliged to find another location for a government-approved graduate school dedicated to what he ultimately called "Human Science."

Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama was born in Japan in 1925. He earned two separate Ph.D. degrees at Tokyo University of Literature and Science, one in Philosophy and one in Psychophysiology. In 1955 he became the Head Sinto Priest of Tamamitsu Jinja, a religious organization with headquarters in Tokyo. Based upon decades of scientific study and achievement in various disciplines, and rigorous pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, Dr. Motoyama was eventually able to conceive of a new discipline (Human Science), and correspondingly to establish a graduate school dedicated to advancing this new discipline. The new school, CIHS, was established according to eight principles which Dr. Motoyama devised to express the mission of the Institute:

To Promote a Society which Enhances the Integration of Science and Religion

To Understand Human Existence from the Total Perspective of Body, Mind and Spirit

To Establish Guiding Principles for the Citizens of the Global Society

To Establish Energy Medicine, which will Prevent Diseases and Promote Health

To Elucidate the Mechanism of the Correlation Between Mind and Body, and to Actualize Mental Control over Body and Matter with a Resulting Better Life

To Systematize Scientific and Objective Mediational Practices, which will Promote Spiritual Growth

To Establish a Society which Satisfies both the Individuality (Freedom and Rights) and Sociality (Morality and Coexistence) of Human Existence

To Establish a Creative Science which Researches the Mind and Soul as well as Matter

The State of California established the Council for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (CPPVE) on January 1, 1991, for the purpose of regulating private, post-secondary educational institutions. The CPPVE quickly closed more than 190 existing graduate schools. It was to this new government agency that CIHS applied for approval in 1992. Of nine new graduate schools applying to the CPPVE at the time, only CIHS and another school were awarded degree-granting status. The Institute officially opened its doors to students in September, 1992. Since 1992, CPPVE has twice approved the Institute (in 1993 and 1996), and CPPVE's successor, The Bureau for Private Post-Secondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE), granted re-approval for five years beginning January 1, 2000.

Financial support for the Institute from its inception up to the present has been supplied by Tamamitsu Jinja, which reveals the alignment between the mission of CIHS and the values of the Temple. Much credit should go Hon. Dr. Kazuhiro Motoyama for acting as chief fund raiser for CIHS, resulting in land, buildings, and operating capital. The efforts of Mrs. Motoyama also deserve the highest praise. Without the financial and moral support of Tamamitsu Jinja, CIHS could not have been launched or have survived for 10 years. The Temple's dedicated CIHS fund continues to provide sustenance and security to the Institute.

Beginning in Fall quarter, 2001, the Institute began to offer courses and degree programs online. The growth of the computer age is an important component of the possibility of an eventual global society. Online education allows CIHS to reach out globally. Since Fall quarter 2001, the Institute has offered online courses to students residing in various states in the U.S., countries in Europe, and Japan.

Research in the field of subtle energies is a critical part of the Institute's mission to advance knowledge. In this special 10 year anniversary edition of the newsletter, Dr. Chevalier (Director of Research) has been kind enough to provide a concise history of subtle energy research conducted at the Institute since its inception.

With regard to the future, one issue of enormous importance to CIHS as an evolving educational institution is national (U.S.) accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The CIHS Board of Directors has established WASC accreditation as a priority. Accreditation is a long road from initiation to goal. I hope CIHS can look back on several years of national accreditation by its 20th anniversary.

The main wish for the future is that CIHS can continue to work towards its high goals-the advancement of energy medicine, the integration of science and religion, and the eventual realization of a truly humane global society.

Congratulations to CIHS on its 10th anniversary!

Religion and Science at CIHS

I came to CIHS on July 3, 1999 from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, where I earned a bachelor's degree in religion. I had been studying Eastern religious philosophy under the supervision of Dr. Nagatomo. After completing the program, my desire to deepen my knowledge in religion and philosophy was still so strong that I decided to further study Dr. Motoyama's religious philosophy at CIHS. Studying at CIHS has had a huge impact on my life, which I believe will influence my future in many ways. In a chance to write for CIHS' 10th anniversary, I would like to point out my experiences at CIHS and provide some feedback for the future from one student's perspective.

The greatest experience was to meet Dr. Motoyama. His philosophy on all the world's religions, based upon his extraordinary spiritual practice of many years, has given me fruitful insights not only in religious philosophy but also in a holistic world view. His theoretical and practical instruction provides a deeper understanding of human existence in terms of body, mind and spirit, and how to balance these dimensions. I realize that those understandings which aid us in spiritual growth are important for establishing a global society.

Another great experience was the chance to study science. I was not good at studying science as a child, so I had negative feeling towards science. However, as seen in CIHS principles, the integration of science and religion is an important approach to study so that I took some classes. As a result, I could understand not only basic science but also Dr. Motoyama's philosophy behind science. I could gradually understand how he tried to systemize the scientific skills to support his religious experience. The result is that I understand much more of his religious philosophy.

The experiences I had at CIHS in the past few years are very important to me. I believe that these are unique experiences that I could not have had at another school. I really appreciate that the Institute provided me these opportunities. However, one thing I want to comment about concerns classes in religion. We did not have enough classes in religion during the past few years. We did have many interesting classes on (frontier) science. It is a pity to have fewer classes in religion. We need more religion classes in order to achieve the integration of science and religion. Moreover, if the Institute can establish classes for practices such as meditation, yoga, and energy practice, then the Institute can promote health and spiritual growth for the coming global society.

Finally, I am so happy for CIHS to have its 10th anniversary, and I really say thank you to Dr. and Mrs. Motoyama, professors, staff and many others who support and provide a wonderful environment for us to study and in which to do research.

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY AT CIHS IN LIGHT OF THE HEGEMONY OF AMERICAN PSYCHIATRY

A person who is drawn to study clinical psychology at the Institute because the Institute is dedicated to a comprehensive Body-Mind-Spirit view of Human Being is soon of necessity confronted with the uncompromising biological reductionism of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Of course, it would be possible to create a curriculum which simply avoids contemporarily American Psychiatry altogether, but this would hardly serve the interests of students who wish to participate in the current psychiatry-dominated mental health industry. It is also pertinent to point out that the purpose of an academic education is to develop critical faculties, a goal that is not fostered by ignoring prominent intellectual positions because they happen to be distasteful.

The official position of the APA on the nature of "mental disorder" can be found in its Diagnostic Manual. I will draw upon the fourth edition of the manual because with its publication in 1994 the program to remedicalize psychiatry which began in the 1970s finally culminated in a complete theoretical repudiation of psychogenesis in the realm of "mental disorder" (the full title of the manual is Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, commonly known as DSM-IV). By "psychogenesis," I mean the position that mental disorder emerges in virtue of operations in the psychological realm itself, rather than as a sign of pathology in the somatic realm ("physio-genesis"). Throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and much of the 1970s, American Psychiatry understood itself primarily in terms of psychogenesis (Wilson, 1993), and in this sense largely removed itself from the primary mission of conventional medicine, which was and is to comprehend the body as an organic machine and to treat breakdowns caused from within and without (Shepherd, 1993). The publication of the DSM-III in 1980 marked a wholesale abandonment by American Psychiatry of its "non-medical" mission, but it was not until 1994 that psychogenesis was officially banished as a possible explanation for any individual's "mental disorder" (the only exception to this rule for a mental disorder that does not quickly remit is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, as explained below).

The issue within psychiatry has never been -historically through to the present-whether a large number of physical illnesses can and do produce morbid mental conditions, since this has been clear for a long time (the classic case usually provided in psychiatric literature is neurosyphilis). This was of course well known to psychogenically-oriented psychiatrists during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, yet was not thought to provide a reason to shift psychiatric interest towards physiogenesis. The explanation for this is fairly straightforward: most psychiatric patients did not appear physically ill, turned out negative on biological laboratory tests, over the course of time did not routinely progress to detectable somatic illness, and even in extreme cases did not resemble the kind of mental deterioration seen in diseases which effect the brain (note that having strange or implausible ideas does not constitute mental deterioration, that is, is not the same thing as poverty of thought and dramatic loss in the ability to think abstractly). The foregoing considerations together formed a barrier to considering most mental patients physically ill, even in the case of the most extreme psychiatric condition of all, schizophrenia (M. Bleuler, 1978). In fact, nothing has changed regarding the foregoing points in the present, e.g., if a potential subject in a psychiatric drug treatment study turns out positive on any examination conducted for the purpose of screening for biological illness or abnormalities, he or she is eliminated from the study (for example, Keller et al., 2000). In short, only apparently healthy individuals qualify for a psychiatric diagnosis.

How, then, does the DSM-IV go about eliminating psychogenesis as a possible cause for any mental disorder in the manual (except PTSD, but it can be convincingly argued that PTSD was forced upon the APA by determined organizations of Vietnam veterans, see Scott, 1990. It is not clear if PTSD can long evade the taint of "biological vulnerability," which would reduce the terrible experience itself-the traumatic experience-to the status of "trigger," see Yehuda, 2002)? The answer appears to be via definition and circular reasoning. This can be considered a remarkable achievement for ideology because it remains the case, as in all previous editions of the manual, that every disorder specific to psychiatry is diagnosed on the basis of the patient's self-reported history, complaints, and the psychiatrist's observations in the psychosocial realm (appears depressed, anxious, agitated, etc.). For example (entirely representative), under the heading "Associated laboratory findings" for Major Depressive Episode (p. 323), the text begins as follows: "No laboratory findings that are diagnostic of Major Depressive Episode have been identified." The situation concerning the "core" disease in psychiatry, schizophrenia, is exactly the same, despite over 100 years of unrelenting international research (DSM-IV, p. 280). Something of the real situation regarding the insistence that schizophrenia is a brain disease which "must" be treated via potent "antipsychotic" drugs can be glimpsed in the very next paragraph (p. 280): "Perhaps the most common associated physical findings are motor abnormalities. Most of these are likely to be related to side effects from treatment with antipsychotic medications." It is important to point out that announcements concerning specific biological abnormalities in schizophrenia or other psychiatric conditions are frequently to be found in scientific journals, but lack of replicability soon consigns such announcements to the dustbin of history.

End of Part I.

To be continued.

My congratulations to Dr. Motoyama, Mrs. Motoyama, and the CIHS community on this 10th anniversary of CIHS!

The principles on which Dr. Motoyama founded CIHS include promotion of a society that enhances integration of science and religion, promotion of a creative science that researches mind and soul as well as matter, and establishment of a society that advances both the individuality (freedom and rights) and the sociality (morality and coexistence) of humanity. The world is in as much need of the promotion of these great principles now, as ever. And societies' current modes of functioning continue to make it difficult for institutions like CIHS, committed to advancing those principles, to prosper.

Thus it is Dr. Motoyama's continuing emphasis on adherence to those principles, and the equally principled commitment of the CIHS community-students, staff and faculty-that is so worthy of support now. On a personal note, my own associations with CIHS and Dr. Motoyama have enhanced my ability to pursue the current researches and efforts that I hope are also aligned with those principles, such as in my forthcoming book The Origin Map. Once again, my heartfelt congratulations go to CIHS, and my wishes for many decades more.

Thank you for your vision of this Institute and for your perseverance in creating it. It has been my pleasure to be a part of the beginning here in Encinitas of an Institute where studies of subjects unique to this age of humanity can be undertaken. This Institute has satisfied a deep hunger in our students for studies of subtle energies and consciousness, of the life forces that bind us together, and of psychologies that deepen our understanding of the multiple realities we inhabit. May the future of the Institute be blessed by all the powers of the universe.

On the 10th anniversary of the establishment of California Institute for Human Science (CIHS), I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama, who is the founder and president, and to the trustees, faculty, staff, graduates and students of CIHS. Further, I would like to extend the same to executives and members of Tamamitsu Jinja Religious Corporation, co-researchers of Dr. Motoyama and his friends/acquaintances, who have supported CIHS for over 10 years. In addition, I would also like to address the same to the California State Government, who approved it as a graduate school evaluating its quality as a research/education center, to Encinitas city of San Diego county, which did not stint in its cooperation for the establishment of CIHS, and to those who have worked for the construction of its beautiful school building.

CIHS has accumulated its attempts to evidence, through basic and creative research in various academic fields, the multi-layered existence of the human being and the interaction between each existence, considering the human as an integral whole consisting of body, mind and spirit. By showing concrete evidence of the existence of the Higher and Greater Being (God) who supports humans and all other beings, it has also attempted to formulate principles, through basic and academic research, so that humans can reconsider their conscience, restore their Love, Wisdom and Trust, and establish a future wealthy and peaceful global society. In this respect, CIHS is a very unique institute that conducts meaningful research and educates promising people for the future.

I will finish my congratulatory address with my sincere hopes that CIHS, which has extensive and important missions for future humans, will be able to expand and deepen its activities.

It is a tribute to the founders of CIHS that this pioneering school is marking its first decade of operation. The inspiration of Dr. and Mrs. Motoyama are evident in the curriculum, in the research laboratory, and in the remarkable theses and dissertations of its students. CIHS has provided its community with a synthesis of East and West, Science and Spirit, Theory and Practice. I look forward to the discoveries and the insights that this remarkable institution will produce in its second decade!

I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the California Institute for Human Science (CIHS).Looking back to 10 years ago, Dr. Motoyama established CIHS at the age of 65 years old. When I asked Dr. Motoyama the true purpose for which he inaugurated such a big project at such an advanced age, he answered as follows:

"Facing the 21st century, it is most important for humans to build a global society which is peaceful, wealthy and healthy, and which is supported by Love, Wisdom and Trust. For this purpose, it should be a society in which science and religion are compatible with each other. The religions in the past were all relative to racial and tribal lifestyles of their believers. Therefore, I should establish a new scholarly basis to consider how future religions should be to actualize the aforementioned global society. My mission is to open up a path to formulate the guiding principles for future global humans and to establish an impartial global religion, which is beyond tribal and national boundaries. Even if it does not shoot out buds in my lifetime, the 21st century will cultivate it without fail, if I sow the seeds."

Since then, many people have been moved by the powerful importance of Dr. Motoyama's mission, which is endorsed by his deep Love of all beings and his profound religious experience, and have supported his project with devotion and efforts. I think CIHS can celebrate its 10th anniversary today knowing it has the cooperation of these people.

I will finish my congratulatory address with my sincere hopes that CIHS, which has an important mission for humans in the 21st century, will be able to expand and deepen its activities, advocating that the spiritual growth of each individual should be indispensable for a bright future.

Congratulations and thank you to all the people at CIHS who have maintained and grown it during its first ten years. It has been a pleasure to teach at an institute that appreciates the spiritual side of psychology.

Darren Testani, Ph.D.
Alumnus and Faculty

Congratulations to CIHS! I have watched the Institute grow from a veritable one-room schoolhouse to the monument of spirituality that it is today. I have had the luxury of participating in this vortex of creativity on many levels, from student to academic faculty; and as the Institute continues on its many fascinating journeys exploring the reaches of mind/body consciousness, I hope to continue in its wake as a participant. I predict that some of the most startling discoveries of the upcoming century will have its genesis at CIHS and that students, present and near to come, will share as I do in the pride of having a link with the limitless source.

Congratulations California Institute for Human Science on the tenth birthday! Ten years are but a tiny beginning in the life of an educational institution. They represent, however, a very important phase, because the infant mortality rate is rather high for those institutions that are different from the mainstream ones; and CHIS is different by design. It is founded on different principles from the usual and mundane. It attempts to achieve different goals, serve a different kind of a student and explore frontier areas in preference to conventional subjects.

Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama is my spiritual twin. We share several things, including the dream to promote a global society free from exploitation of all kinds, a society in which dharma prevails at all levels. It is aptly said that conflicts and even wars arise in the minds of men. At the same time, it is also clear that the most important achievement of the natural process is the evolution of the human mind. As the seat of good and evil, the mind holds the key for the emergence of the great global society. Therefore, the task of any educational institution, which seeks to promote the development of a truly humane society, is to sow in the minds of the students the seeds of love, compassion, equality and fraternity. Hiroshi and I dream of a knowledge-based society free from conflicts and exploitation, destructive divisions, and dehumanizing desires; a society in which we all not only learn truth but realize it in our lives.

There are three basic aspects to gaining knowledge. In the Indian tradition they are called sravana (learning truth), manana (understanding truth), and nididhyasana (realizing truth). Sravana is hearing truth. In the context of education, it is knowing what others have said about a subject. It is the state of existing knowledge, the information content of a subject. Manana consists in doubting, questioning, reasoning, and arguing about what one gathers through sravana. The third aspect, nididhyasana, is meditation on the truth. Involving an increasing flow of knowledge, it takes one beyond understanding truth; it leads to realization of truth in one's being. It is knowing by being. Dr. Motoyama and I cherish the hope that students at CIHS(a) learn truth, (b) understand it, and (c), more importantly, realize it in their lives.

The first ten years of CHIS have been a struggle of survival. Dr. Motoyama and others associated with it have done well to lay a firm foundation for an institution with a bold new philosophy and a beautiful physical structure. The Institute is no longer a seed, an idea in our minds; it is a concrete living enterprise that shapes the lives of dozens of those who seek truth to realize it in their being. However, what we now have is just a beginning. The next ten years would be truly important, because they would be the years of growth and consolidation. CHIS must succeed in attracting larger numbers of students with more innovative programs, to fill the minds of men and women with world transforming ideas to achieve a just and humane society. The Institute may not be content with merely helping to disseminate and advance conventional knowledge. It must, I venture to plead, help enable students to realize truth in their lives. Scholars may understand truth; scientists may discover truth. They do not necessarily realize what they know. If they did, there would be no destructive consequences of their learning and achievement. Unlike a mere scholar, a true saint realizes truth. When this happens, one's knowing and being become identical. Knowledge blends with being; it transforms the individual. With mind-boggling advances in genetic science, at no time in our history is it so important that humans grow and mature to use their knowledge to serve rather harm; to heal rather than hurt fellow beings.

As we celebrate the tenth anniversary of CHIS, I congratulate every one associated with it, especially Dr. and Mrs. Motoyama on the job so well done. It is my very fond wish and hope that CIHS will grow from strength to strength, not merely in numbers and the budget, which are of course necessary, but in its commitment to be different to usher in a new era in the practice of higher education around the world by promoting frontier areas of human science.

Introduction

The investigation of laboratory evidence for this dissertation occurred from July 1997 to September 1999. That Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama chaired the committee was indeed an honor, one which the author will always treasure. The dissertation was "seed research"-investigation into a new area-exploring the nature of photon emission from the human body.

It was known that the human body emits a small quantity of light particles or photons so small in fact that equipment with the ability to count them had only recently been invented. There were two schools of thought concerning the body's emission of photons: one group believed that the quantity of photon emission was out of human control, a mere by-product of homeostasis, while a second group believed the human brain could control something even this small and insignificant. This dissertation was designed to present evidence one way or the other.

Entitled The Acute Alteration of Biopho-ton Emission with Intention, this three volume work showed some strange yet interesting phenomena. First of all, concerning biophoton emission, no alteration was reproducibly detected from any subject's bare hand. Yet, using other materials, it was obvious that something remarkable was happening.

With some people, an actual decrease in photon emission occurred. Others were able to drastically increase the photon emission by three orders of magnitude while holding certain materials. Clearly, something was repeatedly causing the high photon emissions from the same individuals.

What was it?

After systematically analyzing the results of the various experiments, the conclusion was inescapable. I was repeatedly measuring the effects of bioenergy emitting from the hands of those subjects. The energy emission through the material was causing its electrons to change orbital states; as the energy stopped, the electrons were translating to stable states and emitting photons in the process-a well-known occurrence in physics labs.

The experiments repeatedly showed the effects of Ki in the laboratory. To date no scientific alternative has been presented, although some have voiced disbelief based upon emotional response. Still, the sequence of laboratory experiments presents data: the data trace bioenergy emission from concept to actuality.

Experimental Design

Each subject was tested inside a Faraday room at the California Institute for Human Science in Encinitas, California. This room is a copper enclosure designed by an Ohio firm to eliminate effectively all external factors such as microwave, spurious radio frequencies, electrical, magnetic, ultrasonic, etc. A two-way communication was enabled between the subject and the monitor-a person who monitors the computer equipment outside the Faraday room. Each subject was given no prior information about the experiment. Once inside the room the subject was shown three crystal lattice structures that were positioned on top of a black box. One side of the box had a black canvas cloth with a hole in the middle. The subject was seated in front of the canvas side so he or she could locate by feel the crystals and the hole.

Once the 400 pound door was shut and the light in the Faraday room extinguished, the monitor instructed the subject what to do for each 60-second trial. The sequence of the trials was the same. The time availability of the subject dictated whether one or two sets of twelve trials were conducted.

The photon detector was located inside the box; it fed by connectors a counter positioned beside the monitoring person. The counter connected to a computer which built a data file of photon-counts-per-second. The purpose of the monitor was to start and stop the computerized measuring process, ask the subject questions, and write down the subject's answers.

With some trials the subject's hand was out of the box in order to measure a box base line. At other times the subject's hand was simply placed in front of the photon detector for base line measurements. At other times the subject was asked, using any mental technique he or she could imagine, to emit light from the palm of the hand into the detector. At yet other times he or she was asked to pick up the first, second, or third crystal and emit light through the crystal into the detector.

Phenomenological Study

Thirty experiments were conducted, but results are too voluminous to present here. To save time, the most important findings are discussed. During one important phase of the experimental sequence, a feasibility study was conducted using three subjects: a Beginner, an Intermediate, and an Advanced.

These were selected based upon criteria related to experience moving ki. The Beginner was a female business executive with no experience; the Intermediate was a person who had some meditative experience; and the Expert had twenty years of Qigong energy meditation and practice, and who had participated in some of the earlier experiments.

To capture the imagination of the subject and match it with quantitative data, the monitor asked each subject to describe what he or she was thinking at the completion of each 60-second trial. Subject responses were recorded and later processed against the technique of the Phenomenological Study. This effectively provided a means of linking visual imagery with photon count for each 60-second trial.

Whereas the Beginner and Intermediate used a positive, love-oriented, healing imagery to affect the photon emissions, the Expert, who had both experience and feedback from prior trials, gained consistent results from a clinical, aggressive, almost "fiery" imagery standpoint. These results suggest that the process of increasing the bioenergy emission by intention to produce increased photon emission is actually a psycho-kinetic energy exercise, rather than a "healing energy" exercise.

AMI Studies

In addition to photon counting equipment, a computer, and a Faraday room, such a study must include the AMI or Apparatus for Meridian Identification invented by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama. Because one is dealing with human energy, one needs a consistent measurement of that energy. The AMI is the only machine that can accurately measure human energy.

The Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert were each given a before and after AMI measurement. From a meridian standpoint results showed that use of Lung, Liver and Small Intestine energy appeared to be effective providers of the energy needed to produce high photon emission results. Statistically significant results, though not as high, were also seen from the Large Intestine and Heart meridians.

All three subjects were right handed. The AMI showed first a shift of energy to the upper right torso, then an overall loss of energy from all three subjects. This implied that the energy had exited the palm of the right hand, which was confirmed by subsequent intention measurements of photon emission.

Dissertation Conclusions

Experimental evidence suggests that intention associated with certain emotions produced corresponding energy shifts in meridians of the body. These energy shifts were shown with intention to migrate to the upper right quadrant and down the right arm of each subject's body. Exiting the palm of the right hand of each subject, evidence showed the effect of the energy emissions upon an outside source-the electrons of the material held. Photon detector increases were shown to be resultant from the acute alteration of photon emissions with intention, increased dramatically by holding crystal lattice structures.

Only when intention was present was it found that two materials, crystal lattice and wood, are more effective in transducting human energy into increased photon emissions. The photon emissions are a visible by-product of the actual bioenergy frequency range emitted, and measured to be at a band pass filter of 550 to 575 nanometers.

Trials of individuals successful in raising the photon count to a statistically significant degree produced a consistent observation. One intention trial while holding a crystal produced a significant photon increase; the next intention trial with bare hand failed to produce a higher-than-average number of photons; yet, the next intention trial after the bare-hand did show a statistically significant number of photons again appearing as the subject held a crystal. What does this mean?

All three trials were intention trials. Of the three, only the crystal trials showed a significant photon increase. The same physical phenomenon was occurring in all three trials; yet, only the crystal trials showed a significant photon increase. This provides evidence that the phenomenon in question is one of energy emission rather than biophoton emission.

Evidence shows that the energy-and statistically significant corresponding photon increases-did not exist as an acute influence in non-intention trials. It did exist as an active, statistically significant influence in intention trials. Evidence further showed that the energy came from the hand of the subject only during intention trials, rather than from the crystal, the Faraday room, the black box, or the detector.

The results could not be reproduced by heating, tapping, or jarring either the crystal or the detector, nor could they be explained or reproduced by the presence or absence of any phenomenon other than energy emission with intention while holding certain materials. Instead, different subjects repeatedly manifested this bioenergy , which did not exist in the controlled space of the experiment until the time of the subject's intention.

Because the increased photon count manifested only with the subject's intentionality, and because the AMI readings showed a large energy shift to the upper right quadrant, followed by an overall depletion of energy from the body, it is safe to say the energy came specifically from each subject's right hand rather than from some other source. This represents, under repeatable, controlled conditions, the manifestation of a new type of energy: an energy not here one moment, yet here the next. I suspect that the new form of energy which we observed in these experiments is the same energy known to and practiced by oriental physicians and meditators for centuries. This new energy has many old names: "ki," "chi," or "Pranah" to name but a few.

With this dissertation, we have merely demonstrated a methodology for repeatedly showing the direct effect of human energy at a distance upon objects-electrons in the material held by the subject-by observing the quantum photon launch as this energy passes through the material. Such events have been the subject of legend for centuries. Perhaps we may find some comfort in the knowledge that this is a way to bring the legend into the laboratory with some consistency.
