Art Exhibit Features Rainbow YinYangs by Parapsychologist
Jeffrey Mishlove
The world premier exhibit of Rainbow YinYang graphics
by Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, will open at the Philosophical Research Society (3910 Los Feliz
Blvd., LA, CA 90027) on Sunday, October 5, 2003. The exhibit will
remain in place through October 21. This will be the first exhibit,
ever, by the artist, Jeffrey Mishlove, 56, who heretofore has been known
primarily as a writer, researcher, television host and producer, and dean
of programs at the University of Philosophical
Research. The exhibit will be in the auditorium of the Society
and will be open for viewing from 1 pm to 5 pm, daily.

The exhibit will feature three
lectures on the symbology and iconography of the rainbow yinyang images.
On October 5, Mishlove’s topic will be: “Rainbow YinYang: The Great Ultimate.”
The following Sunday, October 12, he will speak on “Rainbow YinYang: The Healing
Balance.” And, one week later on October 19, Mishlove’s topic will
be “Rainbow YinYang: A Symbol of the Soul’s Liberation.” All lectures
will begin at 11 am. Afternoon workshops will be held, on the same topics
at 1:30 pm.

One of the Rainbow YinYang images
included in the exhibit has been selected as the logo of the nonprofit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated
to helping create a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate
their inner, intuitive abilities. Recently, the board of directors
of the Intuition Network has resolved to undertake a new mission - that of
initiating a social movement for the liberation of human, psychic potential
from the triple restraints of ignorance, prejudice and fear. A Manifesto for Psychic
Liberation has been published on the Intuition Network’s website, www.intuition.org, and has been widely
redistributed on the worldwide web. This manifesto, inspired by Andre
Breton’s 1924 First Surrealist Manifesto – specifies why the Rainbow YinYang
image might come to stand as a symbol for the emerging Psychic Liberation
Movement.

Jeffrey Mishlove received his
doctoral diploma
in “Parapsychology” from the University
of California, Berkeley, in 1980 – through an individual, interdisciplinary
doctoral program. It remains the only such diploma ever awarded by
an accredited, American university. He is author of several books including
The Roots
of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems and The PK Man.
He has served as host of the weekly, national public television series,
Thinking Allowed which
was in production for fifteen years, from 1987 until 2002 – and can still
be seen regularly on the Wisdom Network.

Dr. Mishlove has been creating
Rainbow YinYang images for over a quarter century working with colored pencil,
water color and airbrush. One image was even made into the frosting
of his wedding cake in 1978. When asked why he has focused so intensely
on this design, Mishlove states, “If I could take everything that I have learned
in decades of metaphysical and scientific study and boil it down to one graphic
image, this would be it.”
