The International Socierv for the Study Of' SUI-)[IC
Fncrgles and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM), is an inter-
disciplinary organization for the Study of energ tic and
t,e
informaric'nal interactions. Thc Societ v i's concerned
with the study of informational and energi
,,Ies
that interact with the hurnan psyche arid physiology,
either enhancing or perturbing healthy horneostasis.
The Society was organized in the fall of 1989.
Subtle Energies is designed to meet the needs of exper-
imentalists, clinicians and theoreticians who pursue an
interest in consciousness, and the dynamics and limits
of human potential, by emploving rigorous and erhi-
cal scientific methodologies and clinical procedures. It
is explicitly inter-disciplinar 'v to allow those with a deep
understanding of one discipline to compare insights
L,
with those attained by others working along different
paths. It is the hope of the leadership of the Society
that through carefully prepared and edited publications
the Society will stimulate ISSSEEM interest in the
greater scientific community.
%lembership dues sustain the Central office and pro-
@ 'de members with quarterly newsletters and general
vi
mailings. The Society encourages the exchange of
information rhrou@h conferences, seminars, and work-
n
shops. The Fifth Annual Conference will be held in
Boulder, Colorado, June 23-26, 1995. Program
details are available from the Society's Central Office.

Paradigms or worldviews have been basic to human funcEloning eve: since the
dawn of hisrorv. These undergo changes from time to time as evidenc,- and expe-
rience accumulates which cannot adequately be explained bN the paTl-,@igrri then
in favor. The cover drawing of a series of "Russian dolls" shows ho\@ -.,aracliorms
- Z@
arisin@ from scientific thinking have evolved to encompass lamer and @arger per-
z:1 Z7
spectives. The nesting of the Russian dolls illustrates that the par---,-'Igms that
have previously demonstrated a high degree of success wifl be includ@-@ within a
new, more encompassing paradigm. The authors of the series of Perc,,@-,,rives con-
cluded in this issue believe that evidence supporting the need for al-- expanded
paradi= has grown to the point where mainstream science can no IoTger ignore
its existence. The last "doll" in the series represents an undefined ne@, paradigm,
Z)
one which t .he.authors believe will include the current science of separa-eriess and
encompass it into a science of connectiveness.
