Director, Colorado Center for Biobehavioral Health The Society was organized in the fall of 1989. As a Boulder, CO 80302 result of our efforts over the past four years, approxi- matelv 1,500 individuals have elected to support Steven L. Fahrion, Ph.D. ISSSEEM activities. Of that number, from those who President-Elect have provided educational background information, the Director, Center for Applied following breakdown was developed: 17% are physi- Psychophysiology cians, 29% have completed their doctoral work, 17% The Menninger Clinic have completed a masters, 12% a bachelors. We feel Topeka, KS 66601 that psychology, psychophysiology, psychophysics, and Jerry E. Wesch, Ph.D. medicine are rapidly coming together in a synthesis that Director will keynote an innovative science of the 21st century.

ISSSEEM Fourth Annual Conference COMPONENTS AND CORRELATES OF HEALING ENERGIES Boulder, Colorado - June 16-21, 1994 Paradig7n Bridge on the Cutting Edge of Reality One of our members wrote to the 1993 ISSSEEM Conference Committee about the per- ceived need for scientific acceptance of healing and non-local aspects of consciousness (see Leiters, in ISSSEEM's Newsmagazine, Bridges, Vol. 4 No 4, p. 3). Her comments point- ed to the frustration of many members who have subtle energy healing systems and tech- nologies which work for them and their clients yet are treated as "unproven" or "unscien- tific" at best by their less convinced friends and colleagues and as "quackery" by the pro- fessional skeptics. Frustration seems often to generate a separatist approach-that science, as usually practiced, is hopeless as an ally in understanding and validating what we already know to @e "real" in the areas of consciousness and subtle energies. From the scientific s;de, enthusiasts of sub- tle energies are often viewed with an equally hopeless view as being "soft-headed," illo6cal or worse. ISSSEEM was conceived as a "bridge" organization, with one end anchored in the rradi- tional subjectively derived knowledge of the subtle realms of reality and the other in scien- tific method and rigor as the two approaches to reality come together to form a new par- adigm for science in the 21st Century. What an exciting and challenging bit of relation- ship building! In honor of this "bridge" concept, the 1994 ISSSEEM Annual Conference has the theme "Components and Correlates of Healing Energies." Components-rhe elements needed for healina to occur, including the setting, the psychology of the healer and healee and the sub- ile variabtes-derived from the wisdom of the ages, plus Correlates-markers, measures and observations derived from scientific research. This ambitious program is well underway. The 1994 Pro@rarn Committee has retained 3 outstanding invite7speakers to anchor the program. Larry Dossey, M.D. (author of Recovering The Soul and Healing Word@) will keynote the program with an update/overview of what we know about healing. Charles Tarr, Ph.D. will bring his encyclopedic knowledge of the science of consciousness to bear on fear and the shadow side of healing and contact with the mysteries therein. Beverly Rubik, Ph.D. will close the conference with a speculation about the future paradigms for physics and other sciences implied by the reality of healing phenomena. In between we will have symposia on traditional healing knowledge, the cutting edge of mind-body research and practice and dealing with skepticism about subtle realities. Should be an exciting oppor- tuniry to see the "bridges" among clinical practice of healing, traditional healing systems and modern scientific research data in action. Maybe we will create a possible future t'ogeth- er. We have 60 or 70 program proposals to select from in order to bring the attendees as excit- ing and sophisticated a conference as we can. Hope to see you there. You can commu- nicate general program suggestions or ideas to the Program Committee through the ISSSEEM Central Office. Jerry E. Wesch, Ph.D. 19@4 Program Committee Chair Approved For Release 2003/09/16 CIA-RDP96-00791 R000200190023-2
