Subtle Energies and the Uncharted Realms of Mind
An Esalen Invitational Conference
June 6 - 11, 1999
Co-sponsored by the Institute of Noetic Sciences
Conference Summary
Summary by Steve Dinan, M.A.
This conference series will build upon the successes of a previous Esalen initiative--the Distant Mental Influences on Living Systems conference series--that has helped catalyze groundbreaking research nationwide. It will examine the best studies in the field, promote further research, and explore possible explanatory frameworks. Among the questions to be addressed are:
- Can minds directly affect other minds?
- Can they affect matter without direct physical manipulation?
- What role might so-called “subtle energies”-- the ki or chi of Oriental philosophy or the prana of Indian yoga-- play in these processes?
- Does modern physics begin to point the way to as-yet-uncharted fields associated with consciousness and intentionality?
Our group will be comprised of parapsychologists, neurobiologists, physicists, biochemists, technology experts, physicians, and a martial artist with particular interest in ki.
