Foundation
The Foundation for the Dissemination of Knowledge that Unites Humanity (BİLYAY), whose origins lie in the Association for Metapsychic Investigations and Scientific Researches, founded in Istanbul in 1950 by Dr. Bedri Ruhselman, is an international organization established in Istanbul in May 1994.
