BAFES-R-004 is an ongoing commissioned comparative study of systems that claim people can consciously change themselves, their life trajectory, fate or external reality.
Research purpose
The project was commissioned by SUI IURIS. BAFES reconstructs each system from primary sources, separates observable psychological and behavioural mechanisms from metaphysical explanations, checks provenance and internal contradictions, and compares claims only after each system has been analysed on its own terms.
Research scope
The active corpus includes Reality Transurfing, Anton LaVey, New Thought authors, Neville Goddard, The Kybalion, chaos magic, Carlos Castaneda, Stoicism, meditation and modern cognitive and behavioural research. The project is not organised as a contest between authors; comparison is used to identify recurring techniques, causal models, historical lineages and testability problems.
Current status
Status: In progress
Access: Restricted research output
The full research package is not intended for public release. BAFES retains the research documentation, source registers, analytical matrices and bibliographic archive while the work continues.
The current research cycle began on 17 September 2026. An internal interim report was issued on 20 September 2026, but it is not a public publication and does not represent the final synthesis.
