The method of studying psi phenomena may be considered in many ways. But, it is unexpectedly useful to consider all psi phenomena as a whole and to draw underlying principle behind them. From thi8 standpoint, an improvement of the classification table of all psi phenomena was undertaken by the author since 1970. He published the first table on 12 July, 1973. It was revised several times since then. The latest one has been published on the "PSI JOHO", the popular Journal of our PS lnstitute of Japan.
Speaking of the classification table, Dr. Rhine has studied the following fields of parapsychology (1) as: -
 |
32 ESP | |
321 telepathy |
| 322 precongnition | |||
| 323 clairvoyance | |||
| 331 PK | |
3311 PK-MT | |
| 3311 PK-ST | |||
| 3312 PK-LT |
At the Second lnternational conference on Psychotronics in Monaco, the definition of "psychotronics" was given(2),1.e.
"a science which in an interdisciplinary fassion studies fields of interaction between people and their environment both internal and external and energetic process involved. Psychotronics recognizes that matter, energy and consciousness are interrelated. The study of this interconnectioltributes to the new understanding of the energetic capablilties of the human being like processes and matter in general."
Though l would not like to discuss more in detail, the study fields of psychotronics seems to be similar to that of parapsychology with very little nuance.
The author would like to point out again more important fields which were not implied in parapsychology or psychotronics. The phenomena can occur without the intentional mind of human being. He classified them into (1) Physical and (2) Biological phenomena. According to his hypothesis, these phenomena can occur under the influence of ψ information systems, though the latter are not limited to une kind in their complexity and in the degree of sophistication. ln the past, more of these phenomena were treated in the fields of psychic research as the phenomena due to the spirits of dead people. However, there are many phenomena which were orere originated by the ψ information systems of higher order. 141 and 211 are two examples. 0n the other hand, ψ information systems of the lower order also cause some phenomena which were not taken up in psychical research. 132 and 213 belong to this category, ln short, (1) and (2) include more than the fields of socalled psychics.
Finaly, in classifying 33 PK, energy and information were conveniently used, in soite of no purely energy-oriented nor purely information-oriented PK phenomena being existea. For example, 331 energy means that energy-orientation is rlatively larger than information-oriantation and vice versa for 332. Some symbols in the table may need explanations as follows: -
A: active person of psi phenomena
B: passive person of psi phenomena
C: passive living things of psi phenomena
D: passive inanimate object of psi phenomena
ψ : psi information system
EMA: Electro-Magnetic Association
BTA: Biological Transmutation of Atom
143: mysterious disappearance (to be spirited away at one place and to appear at another place)
221: weight decrease due to extraction of ektoplasm
222: weight deorease at the moment of death
231: health and happiness by mind setting and ethical practicing
242: birthmark or malformation to prove former life
3321: Inanimate objects (thoughtgrapby; thoughtscript )
