Environment Events Hierarchy:
"At almost any spot anywhere around the Earth there are always thousands of different radio or TV programs silently and invisibly present. With a wideband radio set we can tune any one of their ‘twelve’ components of the environment, in the same way the other factors tune in or out.
"It seemed evident to me in 1927 that if these local metaphysical and physical event patterns could be realistically conceived that they then could be brought under control by design science to an ever increasingly satisfactory extent. This would permit the new life growing and developing within a favorably organized environment to do so without having its faculties damaged, its drives frustrated, its information storage system overloaded with false information, and its reflexes and subconscious coordination illogically coupled.
“In 1927 I said to myself: ‘What do we know about the metaphysical and physical events that impinge on man?’ I saw first that all the things that could happen to humanity came either from outside or from inside themselves and that I must catalogue them all in two main groups-- those of inside origin and those of outside origin, i.e., of microcosmic and macrocosmic origins.”
