THE DUALISTIC THEORIES OF PSI THE THEORY OF PARALLEL BODY AND MIND One dualistic explanation of the relationship between the spiritual and the material is the theory of parallelisn. The relationship between the spiritual and the material is one of predestinate harmony or predetermined synchronism. There is no interaction between the twa, but they are in concert with one another. This is their natural property. LIFELESS SPIRIT The German Philosopher Laibunizi (translator’s note: phonetic} proposed a theory that the universe is composed of unitons and that each one of these unitons was conscious of the universe. He hypothesized that matter, even lifeless matter all had consciousness, and in modern selentific technical terms, has ESP. According to this theory, this type of consciousness should belong to the category of spiritual and material parallelism and spiritual and material predetermined synchronism, and not the product of interaction between the spiritual and the material. There are several similar theories such as Cleve Backster’s proposed theory of primordial consciousness. This theory holds that ESP can appear in both living orfanisms and lifeless material, and can be traced down to the subatomic levels. On the other hand, it is also possible that PSI only appears in bodies composed of integral organic elements such as eells, an organism, a family or tribe or an international society or religious group. Actually, PSI can occur in any element of a portion of any orfanic structure. For example, during PSI experiments when PSI appears in people taking part in the experiment, the persons become voluntary functional units. NON CAUSALITY Austrian Biologist Paul Kammerer expressed this idea of his as an expression of the nature of a principle of the universe. He calls it seriality. It operates independently from the causality of physics to coordinate similar events. If this principle exists, then it can explain certain paranormal phenomena. Carl Jung believed that paranormal events were certain significant coincidences. This type of coincidence was based on the existence in the universe of non causal orders. He called this type of order synchronisn. To use an example to explain synchronism, he related an event. There was a woman who told him about a dream she had about a scarab type bug. In the process of relating the dream, a similar beetie appeared on his window 51 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300020002-1
