Association for the Understanding of Man (AUM)
Association for the Understanding of Man (AUM)
A nonprofit corporation founded in 1971 in Austin, Texas, as a vehicle for the psychic activity of Ray Stanford. Stanford is a trance medium who channels messages from the "Source," believed to be his superconsciousness. Besides its more religious activities, the association carried on a research program in several areas. Project Starlight concerned itself with UFOs; through it the short-lived Journal of Instrumented UFO Research was issued. A research division concerned with parapsychology was headed by Ray Stanford's brother, Rex G. Stanford. AUM was disbanded in the early 1980s.
