Borderland Sciences investigates the non-physical elements. The Finer forces such as a life force, or a vital principle which contributes to the functioning and self-determination of living entities. These subtle energies are often seen as an integral part of vitalist theories, where they are thought to govern and animate living organisms.
Vitalism, as a school of scientific thought, suggests that life is not solely explainable by physical and chemical processes but is also influenced by a distinct vital force.
Borderland Sciences Research Foundation has explored the concept of vitalism through its approach to the study of natural forces, viewing water, plants, radiant energy, and radio biology through a lens that combines scientific inquiry with metaphysical and vitalistic perspectives.
Borderland Sciences’ research is characterized by a holistic view, a combination of experimental and observational methods, and a critical stance towards mainstream science’s reductionist approach. They often re-examine historical research and pioneer new methods to interact with vital forces.
Life Forces research explores the origin of life and basis for biological activity and evolution, the interconnectedness of all living beings, recognizing that we are all manifestations of the same universal life force. This research encourages us to reconsider our understanding of life, expanding it beyond a purely biological phenomenon, highlighting the tension between mechanistic and vitalistic interpretations of life, offering a unique perspective or challenge to the understanding of life’s essence.
Water possesses a natural energy or “vital force.” Water forms vortex motions to generate energy, suggesting an intrinsic life force in water, which can be harnessed or altered by its flow and environment. Observations emphasize that water in natural environments like mountain streams and waterfalls is more vital than when stored or treated artificially.
The concept of plants having a “nervous system” as explored by Bose supports the vitalist philosophy by suggesting that life processes are not merely mechanical but involve an intrinsic, animating force. Providing empirical evidence that plants exhibit behaviors akin to living responses his experiments showed plants reacting to stimuli in ways similar to animals indicating there might be subtle, non-physical energies at play in biological systems.
Radiant energy is a life force that can be harnessed for health and communication. T. Henry Moray’s research into radiant energy, electrotherapeutic tubes implies that radiant energy can be used for healing, supporting the idea that it’s a life force with health applications. Gustave Le Bon explores the concept of different forms of energy, including radiant energy, and their effects on living beings suggesting it has a fundamental role in life processes.
Radio waves interact with biological systems in ways that suggest more than just mechanical interactions and can be used for therapeutic purposes. Borderland Sciences explores how radiant energy might be involved in cellular communication and health. Living cells emit and receive electromagnetic radiation, and that their health depends on maintaining harmonic oscillations. The MWO was designed to generate a broad spectrum of radio frequency waves to resonate with these cellular oscillations, theoretically promoting health by restoring the natural vibration of cells.
