That puzzled me as well. The PeaceMakers Institute, of which the Pentagon Meditation Club is a division, has this definition: "Eugenic Radiance "Improving, or relating to the improvement of the human race by radiating or sending out positive energy waves generated by the flow of life - invisible Light." http://peacemakersinstitute.org/inner_light.htm So the common element in PMC's use of the term "eugenic" and the usage meaning the selective breeding of human beings is simply "improvement of the human race"--but obviously by very different means. And "eugenic radiance" doesn't seem to have anything to do with biological heredity. BTW, here's Edward Winchester's bio (someone asked in another post): http://peacemakersinstitute.org/Biography.htm
