In today's world of electronic thinking, the SPACE-T]}~ STRUCTURE OF ECONO}ITC TRBNDS is a part of modern life, independent of electric circuitry, bringing into action the natural computer in every hUMan mind for the purpose of integrating the complex components of civilization into a unified, understandable whole.

Technically, it is a WAVE PATTERI>J IN TIl1E of the changes in solar-electromagnetic enereY, or field force, which is known by science to evoke response and reaction from all living things and beings inhabiting the earth.

Historically, the rhythmic variations of the potential in these field forces are found to be reflected in recognizable, psychological changes in people, which coincide with the constant shifting of political and sociological environments that govern human affairs, and create history.

Economically, it is a WAVE PATTERN of changing trends in collective instinct. Its calculable indications go far tOHard clarifying answers to the ever-recu.rrent questions asked by bankers, business men, fj.nanciers, politicians, and practically everybody: Where are we? How did we get here? AND WHERE ARE WE GOING?

The Space_Time concept is neither fatalistiC, cyclical, nor mechani.cal. It discloses an ORDER exist.ing within the perpetual change in human affairs that is the basis of life, history,' and the growth of civilizations. The Space-Time Wave potential never repeats. Every major wave, optimi.stic or pessimistic, is a new adventure in the advance of humanity and the world. It is, perhaps, the nearest thing to a concept of FRJ:o:F.IXlH than anything yet discovered. It indicates not only the reali.ty of evolutionary change; it anticipates and evaluates each turning-point in econol'lic history. Through knowledge of its course every individual is free to exercise his own will and judgment with certainty that he can be, at all times, moving wl.th the·trend of human affairs and not against it. It is in

. this spirit that SPAC&-TIl1E FORECASTING OF ECONOMIC TRlDNffi has been developed and communicated and (since October, 1964) accepted and utilized by a group of thl.nking people who formerly had been dissatisfied with available methods of economic forecasting.

WHAT IS FORECASTING?

Most people think of forecasting as the prediction of coming events, to be accomplished (in economics) by the projection of current action trends in some form of statistical data. But this concept deals only with records of events that have occurred in the past, and events are the result of human actions. Actions must have been preceded by thinking and planning which, in turn, had origin!lted in desire. By the time the statistics are recorded, the first three of the four natural stages of human creativity are apt to be largely forgotten. The statistics stand out like a skeleton, devoid of pulsing blood, warm flesh, and vibrating mentality. Statistical records, of course, are essential. But it has been noted many times that expert analysts vary widely in their conclusions when it comes to forecasting future conditions from statistical data alone.

For successful forecasting, the four stage sequence of human creativity must b\'l taken into account. THE SPACE-TUlE TREND STRUCTURE steps directly into the filUng of this gap. It thro',s light on past conditions, when desire was rising,

. plans thought out, actions being taken. It presents a PREVIE'H of those future environments in which the plans and actions in preparation will take shape in an economic and world climate RADICAlIX DIFFERENT from either the present or the past.

SPACE-TUlE FORECASTING -_ A RECORD

The first Space-Time Forecast, published in an article "The Next Seven Years" (A.'llerican Mercury, January 1959) stated that according to a newly-discovered pattern in time (not yet named) a major, unprecedented HAW: OF PROSPERITY was gathering momentur'l and ;10uld continue -- with interruptions, such as occurred in 1962 and 1965 __ into the early spring of 1966. Follol-ling the crest and breakine-point of the Wave ,",ould come a period of chaos, "durine; which many things, built up during the long approach to the prosperity peak, will be destroyed, including the ;1ealth of nations, groups, and individuals."

Today, the world undoubtedly is in a state of chaos. Disruption has overtaken India and China. All of Africa is in a turmoil. The mid-East is a seething cauldron of unrest. Great Britain has d'findled from a wide-flung empire to a small, lonely island. The Soviet world has weakened ra.dically from its former assurance of world dominance. The United States, trapped in an um-ranted, and possibly inflammable war, entangled in an international monetary web, threatened by race riots and labor trouble, plagued by the worst crime wave in its history, is faring no better -- in spite of goverrunent assurances to the contrary __ than any other area in a world which has entered on a "time of trouble."

The record (see attached charts) indicates that the principles underlying the Space_Time Structure are sound. As a Means for anticipa.ting changing trends in the stock market and economic climate __ as well as revealing these changing trends to be a natural factor in course of history __ the concept has proved its merit. It is, hOHever, new to most economic thinking. A recent subscriber, too young to have known any environment other than prosperity) asks to know More about the genesis of Space_Time Forecasting. ~here, when, and why was it discovered and developed into H,s present useful form7

These questions are not diff~cult to answer: the place, Hall Street. The time, late 1930. The reason, a sense of bafflement (after ten years in the financial arena) as to hOH the 1929 crash had come about, as well as its various predecessors, dotted along the course of the past century. All these, according to the records, had arrived like storms out of the blue, for no reason that was apparent at the time. Could they have been anticipated7 And, if there were more of them to come, was there any method to be discovered by which they £!U be forecast, and prepared for7

The process of discovery began '-1ith an exhaustive stu~y of economic fundamentals, and of technical methods in use at the time, which might lead to the desired end. But no clear concept emerged until, after several years of trial and error, the study was expanded to include the science of TTI1E ITSELF.. This led naturally into the realm of modern field physics and the space_time continuum. Such a synthesis brought the Space_Time Forecasting of Economic Trend Change not only into immediate application to economics and the stock market, but placed it in its natural classificiation __ and named it.





~ . - S.T.S. Draft of Brochure 3

What had been discovered was -- as ~~ny historians have suspected, but never proved -- that there is an orderly, comprehensive TUIE PATTEfu'll OF SEQUENCE in world and economic history. Its critical turning-points in time are predictable, and they invariably coincide with fundamental change and expansion __ "giant steps" in human thinking and aspiration. This conceptual synthesis brings the Space_ Time concept to the very forefront of modern t.hinking, not only in science, but in everyday life. It shows, too, that in this fast-moving electrical world, the former tools of any any trade (including economics) need to be sharpened, for current use, aga;.nst the whetstone of what recent scientific writers call "The New Hypothesis" which, they tell us, relates life and mirrl to concepts of science and daily experience. Earlier, Einstein definedltbe-concept more simply by saying that everyth:i.ng of which ~ ~ aware is electrical in nature.

But where do these new hypotheses fit in with economic forecasting? This question anS~lers itself in the fundamentals of the Space_Time Structure. If, as noted, events are the result of actions, arisJ.ng from thinking and planning, preceded by desire, what ~ before the desire?If everything that happens has its origin in the minds and hearts of men, what is it that 110VES their minds and hearts? Even the wisest of thinkers have been unable to answer this, but the Space_T:i.me Structure reveals the simple truth that history moves, not haphazardly, nor in CYCles, but in WAVES __ t.hat is, in wave action which, in every discipline of modern science, is known to be the basis of all motion and change, from galaxies to at.oms and electrons. Today's space wizards have demonstrated, through the NASA satellites, that the "space" between the earth and the heavens is in reality a great reservoir of ENERGY, electric, magnetic, eternally (and still rnwsteriously) changing in potential. No one knows what electricity is, but men have learned some of its laws and how to use them. From this knowledge, the great, vibrant, sun-centered region in which earth-d~lellers actnally live has come to be called THE FIELD.

It is beginning to be believed by forward-looking scientists and thinkers that the forces in the FIELD can, and do, affect all living things on earth. This concept has been in process of development for nearly forty years; the first research in the matter of force-fields affecting earth life was carried out. at Yale, by Dr. H. S. Burr and Dr. F. S. C. Northrop. The Space-Time structure work -_ which includes a ten year record of accurate forecasting of field-force disturbances .su.ch as solar nares and geomagnetl.c storms __ is, ho.~ever, the only direct application of this ultra_modern concept to human affairs at the practical level of everyday life, business, financial, and socio-economic.

The Space_Time Forecasts are concerned primarily with the overall trend change~ j~ the economic climate as a ~lhole. But separate segments of the econornw, such as the stock ~Arket, having a life of their own, follow individual wave trends which function within the longer range Wave Pattern. Correlations of these two patterns calls for considerable skill. While Space-Time Forecasts give clear warning of coming critical periods relative to stock market act.ion, it is recommended that at these periodS, traders should study, as well, whatever technical tools they prefer for closer timing relative to special stocks or groups. There !?re many experts in t.his latter field, but feu (if any) with the capacity to project, and evaluate major market turns in advance, as was done through the Space_Time Structure prior to Nay, 196.5, and again well ahead of F;;bruary, 1966, ~lhen the DJIA made its historical high shortly before the indicated breaking-point of the major prosperity Wave uhich had been forecast (from October, 1964) for late }mrch, 1966.

This it-> the ~('!colld of i..l. .series of reports in an effort to improve comrr.unication between L:xtrilOrJinary rcs(;,ln:h efforts and our rcadl!rs. We still have in minu a venture which may become part of, or an auxiliary to, our regular I,CUeff>. Thl::; report is my explanation of the work of Muriel Bruce Hasbrouck and Louis lIasbrouck. an intelligent hUnband and wife team doing independent research in forecasting economic trCjlc!I'i, For more c,omplctc lI1(unllatlllll I'lc""o contact the 11""hl'ouck" at 319 Eust 50th St., New York, New York 10022. (phune 212-I'L8-1998)

Muriel Bruce Hasbrouck, Canadian born, has Jone graduate study in comparative philosophy, is the author of "Pur:-;uil of Destiny" - a study of indiVidual personality - and discovered in 1940, with Louis Hasbrouck. a predictive inJcx for timing periods of radio transmission disturbance (first tested with Bell Telephone Luooratories). later developed to include for~casting the time of major earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, solar flares, and geomagneLic storms. Recently, in 1-961-62, this predictive index was used to forecast missile failures in launching.

Louis Hasbrouck, American born and Yale educated, was an Air Force pilot in World War I and an Air force officer in World War II. In the 1920's he learned investment and finance with Bonbright and Company, later becoming an independent investment counsel. Beginning in 1930 he took up the task of finding OUt (a) what makes markets fluctuate, and (b) what natural· laws, if any, are at work behind the phenomena of changing economic trends. .

The Space -Time Structure "Scientific reasoning is completely dominated by the presupposition that mental funct

ionings are not properly part of nature. " - Alfred North Whitehead

"The IT.ore I puzzle over the great wars of history, the more I am inclined to the view that the causes attributed to them .•. were not the root causes at all,. but rather explanations or excuses for certain unfathomable drives of human nature. "

-' Senator J. W. Fulbright

BACKGROUND AND RECORD. " In order to find Out what makes markets fluctuate and what makes people behave the way they do, .. a principle of causality for economic fluctuation and for human behaviour is needed. Space-Time Dynamics is the Hasbroucks' answer.

In brief, there appear to be orderly, though unseen, waves of changing energy within our Solar System. The Hasbroucks have established that the crests and troughs of these energy waves can be timed, that they coincide with major turningpoints in economic history, and that these, in turn, coincide with changes in public moods. As good contrarians know, economic changes arise from how people feel but no statistical way has been found to anticipate a change in public motivations.

What is Space-Time? As utilized here in forecasting trend changes, it is taken to be interplanetory space - the electromagnetic field of the Solar System. The radiating forces of the sun pervade space in rhythmic motions, and'the regUlar passage of the planets through this space leads to changes in the earth's magnetic field which in turn, affects all forms of life. These field-force variations can affect people everywhere, at the same time.

Even today, serious research in this area is discouraged, as any method of timing that involves the Solar System is confused with astrology. To the Hasbroucks' knowledge, no full investigation of astrology had been made until they undertook it. They re-studied scientific history and found what they were looking for in the relativity of modern physics, measurable according to principles of mathematical astronomy.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF OUR OWN BUSINESSES • • • Too often we believe that

knowledge of our own business environment is sufficient for dealing with any economic crisis.

The ability of the American business community cannot be questioned. But this ability cannot be equated with unending prosperity. Too often in history the shrewdest thinkers have been trapped by changes in direction which suddenly interrupt current trends.

My interest in this phenomena has led me to visiting with Muriel Bruce Hasbrouck and Louis Hasbrouck, an active husband and wife team doing independent research in forecasting economic trends. They have come up with a predictive technique that is, as they say, "as fundamental as Contrary Opinion and closely related in concept."

- -Each cyclic wave is divided into 12 periods, covering about 3 years each. The C to D period represents uncertainty and fear (as in 1930-1933). D to E brings temporary recovery (as 1936). F to G 1s a time of reconstruction wherein psychological factors of the new trend appear (as 1940-1953). From G the pull from the peak ahead at C is clearly evident. Minor adjustments at A and 8 often are misread as threatening a depression (as 1957 and 1962).

The Hasbroucks continue. '~orking from empirical knowledge that all economic change (in a free economy) is the result, not of events, nor of political actions, but of how people feel -- their desires, motivations, and demands -- the Space-Time Forecast evaluates and dates the next inevitable 'shift' in economic climate. It tells you not only when, but how this coming change will undermine the economic structure."

Many methods try to tell you when. The indicator approach tries this. But the how has escaped most of us. "The Space-Time principle is based on a qualitative rather than a quantita ti ve, or statistical approach." It is an approach dealing with the underlying forces of change. It traces effects to causes. The following points warrant attention. (For further information write the Hasbroucks at 319 East 50th Street, New York, N.Y.)

1. "All economic changes coincide with the increase, or the lessening, of public confidence." The way people feel influences trends.

2. However, "no way has been found -from the statistical approach - to anticipate a change in the public mind." There is no mechanistic formula.

3. The Space-Time principle does predict changes in consumer behavior based upon waves of energy change in mass psychology.

4. The crests and troughs of these energy waves can be timed and are found to coincide with major economic and historical turning points.

5 History shows every prosperity peak is followed by a trouble period. This does not mean

~tomatic calamity. It does not mean great depression. It means a reorientation of

irection a4 all times of troubles have led to new evolutionary waves. 6. T e quality of each energy wave induces a different psychological climate and thereby

different human responses. To illustrate, the 1929 energy peak was dynamic, with violent responses. The peak approaching us seems different. It will induce, according to the Hasbroucks, a sense of apathy throughout the world.

Already fear of involvement is spreading throughout society. Insofar as decisions are political today, what showed up as economic loss 35 years ago might this time be expressed in further loss of individual freedom and gain of government control.

Yours for less apathy and more empathy - J.L.F. Wells, Vermont





Time to 19()6. The average tunc-between peaks is 35.8 years and history shows that after each peak there follows a "time uf troubles" Juring which a totally new attitude develops in human consciousness which will predominate througbout the period th<.lt follows.

In effect, the llasbroucks are saying that <;hanges in economic trends follow the changing attitudes of people which, in turn, arc tuned to the changing and measurable forces in the "field". More simply, the psychological climate is affected by force' ,,,eh as those familiarly known as gravity and geomagnetism.

Philosophically speaking, we conceive history as having direction. Change is real and there is a guiding order in change. Creative experimentation can discover future trends. A flash insight may be worth all the avall"ble statistics. The creative geniUS in a painter or composer is the realization of future trends before they are visible. Often. a man's life aml'work is damned or redeemed after his death when the future confirms or casts aside his efforts.

TilE SPACE-TIME STRUCTURE ... it is qualitative and not quantitative. The difference is shown thusly. A prediCtion is a factual statement based on recorded facts of past performance, synthesized and projected accord .. ing to whatever technical or analytical methods the predictor prefers. On the other hand, a forecast is a teleological picture in time and space. It is hascJ not on past events but from future developments ..

This concept is a real Contrary Opinion - the future is the determiner of the present and the present is the determiner of the past. Teleology implies a pull from in front which influences current actions. An illustration is in embryology where you can understand the earlier stages, beginning with a cell, only by reference to the fUlure comple(ed human being.

Moreover, Space-Time seems more reliable than accepted theories which believe the future can be projected from present day stdtistics. The Hasbroucks, in an article entitled "The Next 7 Years", published in January, 1959 defined the general Structure accurately. They stated an uncertain period would end in 1962 (without predicting Kennedy's steel crisis), and said that June 1965 would give a preview of the top (without predicting Martinis speech) .. In this conneqcion, wave energy intensified whatever moods, motivations, and attitudes were upp<;,rmost at the mOment in mass psychology. This intensification of wave energy is what the Hasbroucks forecast.

If you can get advance timing of trend directions ahead, the socio-economic framework may be better gauged. History, in terms of conditions, never repeats. Nevertheless, a sociologist working in his speciality ought to be better prepared for race riots and urban living pressures. An investment analyst may think more creatively about securities. Politicians may start new trends. To illustrate, does Reagan in California, represent a coming development?

Space-Time is an early warning system, worth even more lead time than Contrary Opinion. Today the downward wave is at a more leisurely pace than 1929 due to Federal Government determination and the improved quality of change that is throwing aside established ways and customs in developing nations. Important determinants may include: 1. A pop'ular trend toward peace and against war as this wave sequence is similar to that which brought the Thirty Years War to an end in 1648. 2. Apathy and indifference are paramount now versus panic in 1929. 3. The time is right for a change in international monetary structures, with a solution likely. 4. Escalation of centralized power and where will it end? 5. Does the peak of inflation come with the peak of centralized government? 6. Is freedom now picking up or, as Cromwell the dictator was followed by peace. with a monarch, are we in for a period of The Coming Caesars?

I

IN CONCLUSION ... A. Remember the wave crest that ended in 1857 climaxed the great boom which began with the 1849 California gold rullh. The trouble period ushered in a change from an agrarian to an industrial economy. B. The wave crest in 1893 was followed by the era of the banker with big trusts and new industries. C. The 1929 crest showed a loss of confidence which bred fear and a dependence on rules, ushering in the era of politicians. D. The 1966 crest will, in turn, evolve into another way of thinking. The science administrator may be the man of the coming period.

Moreover, such change does not have to be a calamity. What occurs is that everything we don't need in the coming period is eliminated. From this orderly proceedure of evolutionary change, seemingly more nerve racking than ever before, may come a happier way of living. And stocks, as ever, will fluctuate. New opportunities, with Comsat an example, will become visible.

THE SPACE-TIME STRUCTURE is the outcome of a search, over many years, for a reliable method of forecasting changes in the economic climate. Its discovery revealed an orderly pattern of TIME which has a natural, inherent linkage with changes in what is known as ~ psychology -the dominant, activating element in all trend change. Because of this linkage, indications for the future can be laid out in advance, forecasting those changes in the economic climate that will affect stock prices, business trends, ::lnd overall l;-'lorld conditions.

Many analysts recognize the importance of mass psychology, but they usually consider it as quantitative, a matter of statistics, from which they create a "confidence index". It was left for the Space-Time discovery to prove not only that mass psychology is indeed the dominating force in economic evolution, but that changes in its potential result from invisible, but subtly tangible field forces constantly at work affecting human reactions, motivations, and desires. These forces are ~alitative, and because of their linkage, through TIME, with the human scheme of things, their modulations can be anticipated and interpreted through knowledge of the order of the Space-Time Structure.

THE SPACE-TIME FORECAST IS A FORECAST. It brings you first a comprehensive preview of coming conditions, changes, and developments in U.S. and world economic and political affairs, together with an illustrative Space-Time Graph, showing the extent and direction of the trend through which the economy is passing. This is implemented by a series of Interim Letters, at frequent intervals, interpreting current events and market conditions in the light of the Space-Time viewpoint. These Letters reach you in plenty of time for action to be taken either for profit, preservation of funds, or -- perhaps most vital in the coming months -- to prepare you for taking advantage of future opportunities for profitable action.

The Space-Time Structure is the most reliable source yet discovered that can provide in advance the timing and potential of these inevitable changes in the economic climate.

THE SPACE-TIME STRUCTURE brings a totally new element to economic thinking and forecasting. It restores the teleological approach -that is, the science of looking at the future as something that is already there, as if exerting a "pull from in front", waiting for humanity to catch up with it. This eliminates the usual uncertainties of predictive systems that are based wholly on attempts to project the future from current statistical facts, without knowledge of changing economic climates.
