Abstract
The SSE organization is a multidisciplinary professional organization of scientists and scholars committed to studying phenomenon that cross traditional boundaries of science and are ignored or studied inadequately by mainstream science. Established in 1982 the membership has grown to over 1,000 professional members with many more student members and free accounts. The Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE) is the quarterly, peer-reviewed journal of the SSE. The JSE has published original research on topics of interest that cover a wide spectrum, ranging from apparent anomalies in well-established disciplines to rogue phenomena, as well as philosophical issues about the connections among disciplines. More than 120 issues of the journal are now free online (open access).
The SSE organization congratulates ISLIS on its 25th Anniversary of service to science. The strong focus of ISLIS on Human Potential Science is aligned nicely with much of the research performed within the SSE scientific community. Examples include two research articles published in the Winter 2019 JSE issue describing On-line Psi Experiments by Dean Radin, and Remote Viewing Operations at Stanford by Russel Targ; both authors being respected thought-leaders in psychic research. Furthermore, the current president of the SSE organization (William Bengston) is a long-time leading researcher in the scientific study of psychic-healing phenomena from the viewpoint of social science down to molecular biology.
There are three local chapters of the SSE in America, and now a local chapter in Japan. Founded by myself in 2019, the SSE-Japan organization was created to further expand awareness, cooperation and support for the SSE in Asia. In the last year, the SSE-Japan held ten local (Tokyo) events with growing interest. Furthermore, we are in the process of establishing a research project with a leading Japan academic institution to explore the therapeutic effect of digital recordings of energy healing activity on the growth of engrafted breast cancer tumor cells in mice.
Through the SSE-Japan local chapter, it is my intention to involve and educate more of the general public in Japan and build bridges between the SSE and other professional research groups (such as ISLIS) that espouse similar visions. Communication and cooperation to blend and advance Human Potential Science ideas across the Pacific can strengthen scientific ties and benefit the global community.
