             From a physical point of view, biofields

             It is possible systems as complicated as biological systems could generate some sort of field
        still unknown to modern physics. It is completely possible different numerous physical
        components of a biofield could interact among themselves, and the resulting interaction develop
        new qualities not peculiar to any one of the components alone.
             Since, generally speaking, this biofield is not an altogether trivial aggregate of known
        individual physical components, it is a considerably more complex concept. But, of course, it
        has no relationship to "obscurantism," (unless to impose this "obscurantism" on it with bias or
        through lack of understanding).
             Acknowledgement of the fact a biofield exists (and it is impossible not to acknowledge it)
        signifies living organisms create prerequisites for long-distance interaction among them and with
        inanimate (inert) natural objects. However, in order to acknowledge the possibility of such
        interactions, presence of the abilities of livi ng organisms to perceive various natural physical
        fields is necessary. These abilities have been established experimentally with absolute veracity
        in the area of biophysics as well as magnetobiology, electrobiology, an id others. Therefore, from
        a physical point of view, there can be no doubt about the possibilities for remote interaction in
        living nature-. The issue is hardly about quantitative relationships determining the nature of the
        interaction, distances over which. they can actually take place, or about conditions conducive,
        or, on the other hand, prohibitive for their occurrence. That will be dealt with later.
             Phenomena being studied by parapsychologists are so diverse as to make a common
        assessment of their veracity, their internal mechanisms, hardly possible. These phenomena in
        their entirety must be classified and stratified, and only then can we begin to analyze them.
             In literature over the last few years it has been suggested parapsychological phenomena be
        divided into two classes: "cognitive" kHcbopmauHoHaueJ and "Physical [cH)ioBbze]." The idea
        behind the first comes directly from its name. The second is associated with
        telekinesis-"mental" influence over physical processes. It is appropriate to stratify-to divide
        into several levels ach of these classes of phenomena.
        In the class of cognitive phenomena, we propose "The Three-Level Concept."
             We call the first of these the level of real physical models. Serving as a basis for such
        determination at that level are the results of direct physical experiments conducted with the aid
        of technical physical.. instruments to record physical phenomena, determining, or at least
        attending, the phenomenon being observed by the parapsychologist.
        A typical example of such a level is "near-vision [6)m3KoBH)xeHHe]." Thanks to a broadcast
