Definition

  • Pana Wave Laboratory (PWL) was the former research branch of a Japanese new religious movement known as Chino Shoho, or True Law. Chino Shoho was an eclectic form of spiritualism that adopted doctrines from the Abrahamic religions, self-medicating traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism, New Age concepts, theosophy, and parapsychology as well as a host of pseudoscientific conjectures about physics, environmental warfare, and space exploration.
