            of the brain to store and process information that is coming to it from the internal and
            external worlds.

            The evolutionary development of psi-fields is associated with the establishment of self

            awareness and individuality. Such individuals obtain the ability to affect nature in a
            variety of ways and develop various methods of exerting that influence. They then
            reconstruct their habitat into forms more suitable for themselves, unfortunately, too
            often disturbing the ecological balance in doing so. There is a maximally acceptable
            limit  of  the  capacity  of  an  ecological  system  to  tolerate  intervention.  When  it  is

            exceeded it usually results in a violation of the system’s integrity.

            Intelligence in the full meaning of the word can be identified as such only when
            the evolutionary development of the species leads it to an understanding of its
            unity with nature and to activity which does not result in the destruction of the
            ecological  system,  but  rather  effects  harmonious  changes  in  nature  without
            throwing it off balance. Ultimately this causes periodic evolutionary changes in

            ecological systems.

            Several species of living organisms on planet Earth have complex psi-fields. All are
            classified together in one subclass — the higher mammals. Two particular species,
            dolphins and humans, have a special place in this subclass. Human beings (Homo
            Sapiens)  are  the  only  intelligent  species  possessing  a  complex  psi-field  whose
            evolutionary development has been and still is accompanied by the changes they

            make in their ecological system. Unfortunately, rather than a state of harmonious
            unity, human beings are in a “state of war” with nature, characterized by infrequent
            armistices. It is to be hoped that harmony will be achieved in the near future.

            The special position of man in our ecosystem is an immediate consequence  of his
            behavioral peculiarities. First of all, he is a social, upright creature. The availability of
            a pair of “free” limbs, i.e. arms — enabled man during his evolutionary development

            to create work tools, the improvement of which eventually resulted in the ability to
            affect and change the environment according to human needs.

            His social form of existence allowed man to solve another problem — the accumulation
            and transmission to subsequent generations of needed information (first in oral and
            later in written form). This knowledge, this accumulated experience, was not just the
            product of a human family, or tribe, but, in keeping with the evolution of the human

            race, stemmed from thousands, hundreds of thousands, in fact, millions of people over
            many generations.

            The amount of accumulated information grew larger and larger from generation to
            generation  as  the  qualitative  content  of  the  information  kept  changing.  As  they
            absorbed the experience of prior generations, the newer generations moved to the next,

            higher level of evolutionary development. When mankind invented various kinds of
            mass  information  media  —  print,  radio,  television,  the  internet,  etc.  —  an  abrupt
