Approaching the 21st Century, the Symbolist concept of Mind-Physics has reached a new level of both general and academic interest, spurred on no doubt by the various "New-Age" agendas of the past 30 or more years.
But so far only two conclusions have been reached:
The working definition of Mind Physics that most people are familiar with, is that of a system of hypotheses for explaining the nature and limits of paranormal phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance (remote perception), psychokinesis, pre and retrocognition. This definition, which comes from the 1950's, has placed Mind Physics on The Procrustean Bed of Scientism, requiring, on one hand, that all paranormal phenomena be analyzed by the sense-dominated repeatable experiment, and on the other hand, eschewing all phenomena that cannot be observed in this way, such as the content of: the mystical experience, astral-projection, the near-death-experience, pleasure, pain, color, miracles, etc.
In fact, the very concept of the paranormal itself implies that it is possible to place a value judgement, that goes beyond moral, upon aspects of human experience. The search for the most comprehensive definition of Mind Physics does not mean, however, that all human experience should be considered to be levelled at the same degree of the habitual. While it is true that to raise one's arm can be interpreted as a biologically habituated form of psychokenesis, authentic cases of the energy of psychokinesis extending beyond the limits of the human body are not.
During the 20th Century, there has never been an overt and complete presentation of a theory of Mind Physics, including such aspects as the arts, the sciences, and mathematics. But there was one person who made the attempt at approximately 1931.
