Determining ways to utilize and optimize these kinds of research and resources in military activities, peace operations, scientific exploration, human development and other efforts would seem to be a natural course of action.

No matter how unusual some unconventional developments might seem, they are part of the natural world. Whether we are talking about the expanded abilities of human awareness and perception, scientific discoveries about the Universe or views on extraterrestrial intelligence and civilizations, we are dealing with situations that, in the big view of things, are part of Nature.

Bringing these elements into our approaches to resolving down-to-Earth problems is something that probably can be done, if we use our intelligence and resourcefulness.

For example, the human conflict that we see in Iraq is a result of many complex factors, as we know. There are many understandable reasons for the anger, brutality, fighting and killing in that country.

However, this fighting is being done by humans. And humans can change their minds and hearts, and change their approaches to situations.

In conducting security, intelligence and peace operations in Iraq, insights about human nature and consciousness can be utilized to reduce tensions, provide helpful information and achieve successful outcomes.

Expanding human intelligence in other areas of the world can also contribute to conflict resolution and prevention. This might not be welcome for war profiteers, but for most of the rest of us, such a development would be positive.

Providing information on the blending and merging of unconventional developments and conventional realities need not be difficult.

Whether through educational institutions, places of worship, TV, movies, books, the Internet, information operations or other communication platforms, valuable information about unconventional developments in human consciousness and other interesting phenomena can provide people with understanding and insight that can help resolve conventional problems.
