TOW RD A SPIRITUALIZED SCIENCE ND M THEM TICSDonald Reed Tachion Energy Research

The s c i e n t i s t of today has p en e t r a t ed deep i n to themyste r ious i n t e r io r of mat te r , unea r th ing ' , in the l i t e r a lsense of the word the abysmal powers t h a t l i e hidden t he re .But he i s a t a l o s s , for what he f inds in s t a r s and atoms i sno l onger mat ter in any r ea l sense of the word; it i s a purenexus of r e l a t i o n s , an i n t e l l e c t u a l shadow o f a s u b t l e inneressence which as ye t e ludes him.

Notwi ths tand ing the impressive f r u i t s of 20th cen turytechnology, it cannot be denied t ha t mathemat ica l phys ics , theunderp inning of t echno log ica l progre ss , i s very l a rge lygroping in the dark .

I t s roo t ideashave grown fu r t h e r removed from the realms of exper ience ,moreover from anyth ing t h a t i s access ib l e to humanimagina t ion .

Par t of the reason fo r the undue ab s t ru s en es s of such asys tem devolves upon its b u i l t in r e s t r i c t i o n s modell ingthe f u l l spectrum of human exper ience , both p h y s i ca l andmetaphys ica l . Indeed, the mathemat ica l system chosen todescr ibe r e a l i t y , i s n e c e s s a r i l y a b s t r a c t e d from the way weconsc ious ly perce ive t h a t r e a l i t y .

For t h i s reason , ando t h e r s voiced r e c e n t l y by p h y s i c i s t Al len J .

the background for cen tu r i e s .

Phys ica l sc ience i s based upon Car te s i an gedmetry , whichd ea l s pr imar i ly with r i g i d and l i f e l e s s forms c i rcumscr ibed bymeasurement . In c o n t r a s t to t h i s , the new geometry moves in arealm o f l i g h t and metamorphosis , out of which the e th e r ea land a rch e t y p a l forms a re fash ioned . t i s c ha ra c t e r i s t i c o fthe new geometry not to r e fe r the geomet r i c forms and f igure sto an a rb i t r a ry framework, but to evolve t he i r q u a l i t i e s , asit were, out of t he i r own na tu re . The new geometry enab les usnot only to approach the forms e x t e rn a l l y , as in the Car te s i anformat , but to perce ive them in t he i r i nhe ren t mutualr e l a t i o n s - - r e l a t i o n s t h a t proceed from the forms themselvescnot from ex t raneous coord ina teso This corresponds to at r a n s i t i o n from a d iscur s ive and a n a l y t i c t rea tment of na tu re ,to an imagina t ive pe rcep t ion of her l i v in g and unfoldingprocess . In t h i s sense the sc ience o f the new geometryapproaches the s p i r i t and p r ac t i c e o f a r t , while remain ingf i rmly grounded in the r a t i o n a l e d i f i c e of mathemat ica lprec i s ion .

The bas ic concep ts of the new geometry are not d i f f i c u l t ,but they requ i re a kind of th ink ing to which we are not ye taccustomed, nur tu red as we have been for son long on the ones ided ly Car tes ian-Eucl idean way o f th ink ing and the a n a l y t i c a lmethod. The new geometry requ i re s a qua l i t a t i ve grasp o fmathemat ica l forms, and the c u l t i v a t i o n of an a c t i v i t y o fthought which encompasses more than the momentarymani fes ta t ion o f form.

In the new geometry , the i dea l s t ru c t u re of 3-dimensionalspace does not proceed one-s ided ly from the poin t a lone (as inCar tes ian sys tems) , but from two oppos i t e but mutua l ly

A simplei l l u s t r a t i o n wi l l serve to show the s p a t i a l s ign i f i cance andmutual p o l a r i t y of poin t and plane . Imagine a spher ica lsurface expanding and con t rac t ing . At one extreme itcon t rac t s in to the c e n t r a l point ; a t the o ther , it expandsi n to the plane t ha t disappears i n to the i n f i n i t e di s t ance ofspace. We say a plane r a the r than an i n f i n i t e sphere becauseof necess i ty when the radius i s i n f i n i t e , the curva tu revanishes a l toge the r . Although the i n f i n i t e l y d i s t a n t plane i snot percep t ib le through the sense, it i s neve r the le s s ~ l e rand exac t thought which f inds express ion in correspondingmathematical formalism. Moreover, the i n f i n i t e plane s tandson an equal foot ing with every other plane of f i n i t e space .

Thus the po la r i t y of poin t and plane i s r e a l l y one ofexpansion and co n t r ac t i o n , not only q u a n t i t a t i v e butqua l i t a t i ve . In t h i s p o l a r i t y the s t r a i g h t l i n e plays themedia t ing f a c t o r , i t s formal r e l a t i o n s to point and planebeing mutual ly equ iva len t . t i s the i nc lus ion with in thesystem of i n f i n i t e l y d i s t a n t e n t i t i e s , which crea te a geometrybased s o l e ly on the i n t e r r e l a t i o n sh i p s of p o in t , l i ne , andplane . Pro jec t ive geometry i s not merely a geometry o fcrea ted forms, but the geometry of the r e l t i o n ~ h i p s betweenform-creat ing e n t i t i e s .

Admit ted ly the secondconcept i s not as e a s i l y access ib l e to the imagina t ion . Butthe two polar aspec t s in te rweave . In the f i r s t case , theplane i s the whole--grea te r than any of i t s pa r t s (po in t s ) .Whereas in the l a t t e r case , paradox ica l as it may seem thepoin t i s the whole and the planes which pass though it arepa r t s , or members of the po in t .

Unlike cur ren t forms of geometry which f ind t h i r a s i sin the eg o cen t r i c i t y of the poin t a lone , the new geometry i s at rue r e f l e c t i o n of s p i r i t u a l and moral i dea s .

Let us now t u rn from the world of pure form to t ha t ofac t ive forces . In add i t ion to the c e n t r i c fo rces descr ibedthe f i e ld theor ies of phys ic s , the new geometry e s t a b l i sh e sa concre te bas i s fo r the ex i s t ence o f ano ther t y p ~ of forcewhich can be descr ibed as pe r iphe ra l or e the r i c . Muchl i ke the aforement ioned geometr ical model of Counterspacethese fo rces can be cons idered as o r ig in a t i n g from theper iphery , or i n f i n i t e plane o f space , and tending towards themate r i a l bodies of l i v ing th ings - -above a l l towards thegerminat ing cen te r s of f re sh l i f e . But the r e l a t i v e cen te rtoward which they work i s not t he i r source , bu t r a the r t h e i ri n f i n i t e r ece iver . Again we must i n v e r t the accustomednot ions of cen te r and per iphery to g e t a t the r i gh t idea .phys ica l force , emanating from the cen te r - - such asgra v i t a t i ona l , e lec t romagne t ic , e t c . , needs the surroundingspace in to which to expand and d i s s ipa t e . The i n f i n i t eper iphery has to be t he re to rece ive it. Accordingly aper iphera l force needs the l i v in g cente r towards which itexpends i t s e l f . nd y e t t h i s cente r i s r a d i c a l l y d i f f e r e n tfrom the poin t c en te r of phys ica l forces .

I f we assume t h a t the ex i s tence of one of these elementsi s dependent upon the exis tence of the other in any waywhatsoever then we have a problem d i f f e r e n t from our pre sen tone. I f the ex i s t ence o f B i s such t h a t it excludes theexis tence of A ye t , accord ing to i t s essence , i s dependenton it then A and B have to have a r e l a t i o n s h ip in t ime.Because the dependence of B on A - keeping in mind t h a t theexis tence of B excludes the exis tence of A - i s condi t ionedon A preceding B. But t h i s should be discussed separa te ly .

J-For our pre sen t purpose we s ha l l not assume such ar e l a t i o n s h ip . We a re tak ing for gran ted t h a t those th ings weare concerned with do not exclude each o t h e r s ex i s t ence , butins tead are e n t i t i e s ex i s t i n g with each o ther .

Whoever asks what kind oft r a ns i t i on from one th ing to the other can be found with theth ing i t s e l f of no cons ide ra t ion , must c e r t a i n l y give theanswer: space . Every other r e l a t i o n s h ip has to be based onthe q u a l i t a t i v e composi t ion o f what appears s e p r ~ e l y in theworld . Only space cons iders nothing other than t h a t th ingsare separa ted . When I am th ink ing : A i s above B i s belowI d o n t concern myself a t a l l with what A and B are . Iconnect no other thought with them than they are sepa ra t ef ac to r s of the world t h a t I grasp with my senses .

When looking a t exper ience our mind wants to overcomesepa ra t eness , it wants to demonst ra te t h a t the fo rce of thewhole can be seen in the i nd iv idua l members. Concernings p a t i a l views it does not wish to overcome anyth ing otherthan i n d iv id u a l i z a t i o n as such . Our mind wants to e s t a b l i shthe utmost genera l r e l a t i o n sh i p .

fu r t h e r , I can r e f e r a again to b. But now I have a l readyl o s t a l l t h a t i s i nd iv idua l . When looking a t a , I no longerf ind an i nd iv idua l A and B r e f e r r i n g to one ano ther , and thesame with b . In both of them I f ind nothing other than t h a tthe re has been a r e f e ren ce as such. This d e t e rmi n a t i o n ,however , i s the same for a and b. What enabled me to stilld i s t i n g u i s h a and b was t h a t they r e fe r red to A, B, C, and D.I f I exclude t h i s remnant of the i nd iv idua l and only r e fe r aand b to each o th e r , i.e. the c i rcumstance t h a t the re hasbeen a r e f e ren ce a l toge ther not t h a t something sp e c i f i c hasbeen r e f e r r e d ) , then I have again ar r ived very g e n e r a l l j a tthe s pa t i a l r e l a t i o n s h ip from which I s t a r t e d . Fur ther Icannot go. I have reached what I have s e t out for e a r l i e r :space i t s e l f i s s tand ing before my sou l .

Herein l i e s the se c re t o f the t h ree dimens ions . In thef i r s t dimens ion I r e f e r to each other two concre te elementsappear ing in the world of the senses ; in the second dimensionI r e f e r these s p a t i a l r e f e ren ces themselves to each o ther . Ihave e s t a b l i s h e d a r e f e ren ce between re fe rences . I havebrushed of f the concre te th ings , the concre te re fe rences haveremained. ow I s p a t i a l l y r e f e r these to each o th e r . Thati s , I d i s r eg a rd t h a t they a re concre te re fe rences ; then,however , I have to f ind in the second r e f e ren ce exac t lywhatever I f ind in the f i r s t . I am es t ab l i s h in g ~ e f e r e n e swhere the re i s no d i f f e r en ce . ow the p o s s i b i l i t y ofr e l a t i n g i s ended because the d i f fe rence i s ended.

What I p rev i o u s l y took as the viewpoint fo r myobse rva t ions , namely, the t o t a l l y ex te rna l re fe rence , I nowreach again as idea based on sense percept ion; from theobserva t ion of space , a f t e r execu t ing my opera t ion t h reet imes , I have ar r ived a t space , i.e. my s t a r t i n g p o in t .

Therefore , space can have only t h ree dimensions. Whatwe have done here with the idea of space i s ac tu a l l y only aspec ia l case of the method we employ when we observ ing lyapproach t h ings . By observing t ang ib le ob jec t s from agenera l viewpoin t , we g a in concep ts of i nd iv idua l th ings .These concepts we then examine from the same viewpoints sot h a t we have only the concep ts of the concep ts before us . I fwe connect those , they mel t i n to t h a t u n i fo rmi ty of an ideawhich may be placed under no fu r the r viewpoin t than i t s own.Let us t ake a sp e c i f i c example. I am g e t t i n g to know twopeople: A and B. I look a t them from the viewpoin t off r i endsh ip . In which case I s ha l l gain a very sp e c i f i cconcep t , a , of the two p eo p le s f r i endsh ip . ow I look a ttwo other peop le , C and D, from the same viewpoint . I cometo ano ther concep t , b , o f t h i s f r i endsh ip . I can go fu r the rand r e f e r these two concepts of f r i e n d s h i p to each o th e r .What I am l e f t with , i f I di s rega rd the concre te f a c t I havegained , i s the concept o f f r i endsh ip as such. This , however,I can a l so gain in r e a l i t y by v ie w in g- t he p e rs on s E and Ffrom the same viewpoin t , and a l so G and H. In t h i s , as inPage 10, NOVEMBER DECEMBER 1987 JBR

innumerable other case s , I can reach the concept off r i endsh ip as such . All these concep ts , however, aree s se n t i a l l y - rd e n t i c a l to each othe r ; and i f I look a t themfrom the same viewpoin t , it becomes apparen t t h a t I havefound a whole. I have re tu rned again to what I s t a r t e d with .

Space i s thus a view of t h ings , a way in which our mindgathers th ings in to a un i t . The t h ree dimensions in t h i sconnect ion behave in the fol lowing manner . The f i r s tdimension e s t a b l i sh e s the r e l a t i o n s h ip between two sensorypercep t ions ( sensory p e rcep t i o n here i s what Kant ~ l ss en s a t i o n [Empfindung]) . Thus it i s a concre te thought . Thesecond dimension r e l a t e s two concre te thoughts to each otherand thereby moves in to the a rea of ab s t r ac t i o n . The t h i rddimension, f i n a l l y , only es t ab l i s h e s the uni fo rmi ty of theidea between the a b s t r a c t i o n s . Therefore , it i s t o t a l l yincor rec t to cons ider the three dimens ions of space ascomple te ly equal . Whichever i s the first depends, o f course ,on the elements perce ived . But then the other dimensionshave a very sp e c i f i c and d i f f e r e n t meaning from the f i r s t .Kant assumed, q u i t e in e r ro r , t h a t space i s a t o t a l i t yins tead of an e n t i t y concep tua l ly determinab le with in i t s e l f .

Here to fore , we have spoken of space as a re l a t ionsh ip , are fe rence . But i s t he re only t h i s r e l a t i o n sh i p of next toeach other? Or i s an abso lu te de te rmina t ion of l oca t ione x i s t e n t for each th ing? This , of course , has not even beentouched on in our preced ing e labora t ions .

The Body ElectricElectromagnetism:Therapeutic harmful or a little o each? Steve Eabry1786 OceanaireINTRODUCTION

We are continuously bathed in the energy of electromagneticfields (EMFs). This energy spectrum is a continuum of manywavelengths, from ionizing radiation (radioactivity) to the morecommon non-ionizing radiation-all invisible except for visiblelight. Man-made radiation is produced by microwave ovens,electric blankets, lighting, motors, radio and TV transmission,radar and other electrical uses. The earth, sun and moon allhave characteristic EMFs and our own bodies produce manysuch fields. v e r a l ~ we are exposed to an enormous range offrequencies and intensities.Our bodies work electrochemically; ' lectric impulses flowin living tissue, so .it is logical to expect that natural and manmade EMFs interact with biological processes. However, asrecently as 7 years ago, there was no agreement about thepotential for EMFs to cause biological effects. A large massof research has ended that debate: EMFs are capable of a widerange of effects on living organisms. The controversy has nowshifted to whether these effects are harmful.The therapeutic uses of EMFs have grown considerably;promotion of bone and soft tissue healing, pain relief, control'of osteoporosis, drug detoxification, Therapeut ic Touch, control of epileptic seizures, ul tra-sound for monitoring and therapy, non-invasive monitoring of brain and heart activity (EEGand EKG , Polarity Therapy, etc.f specific applications of low level EMFs applied by a phy

sician can be therapeutic, it is not logical to assume that exposure to fields from transmission lines or home and industrialuse of electricity would not affect health. Reported harmfuleffects associated with EMF exposures include leukemias,changes in brain and blood calcium balance, some birth defects and many stress type symptoms.THE EARTH'S GEOMAGNETIC FIELDThe earth acts as a huge bar magnet with nor th and southmagnetic poles and a relatively symmetrical field on the u r ~face. The earth 's fieid strength has varied over time and thepoles have reversed, but a field has existed since before lifeoriginated. The major component of this field is generatedwithin the earth, but there are also cyclic components derivedfrom the sun, the moon, and probably all celestial bodies. Thiscombi:1ed field provides directional information, as well as thevery precise daily and seasonal v a r i a t i o n ~ necessary for synchronizing our biological clocks. Locally, the geomagneticfield is affected by mineral deposits, earthquake and volcanicactivity and large storm systems.

ep r in ted wi th pe rmis s ion f rom:

San Luis Obispo C 93401Life on this earth has evolved within this geomagnetic field. _Many organisms are known to use th field for orientation andnavigation, eitheras a primary cue or as a back-up when moreobvious cues, such as the sun and stars, r e ~ available. Theme.tabolic rate and activity patterns of many animals are directly related to cyclic solar and lunar EMF fluctuations. It isnot coincidence that the low frequency micropulsationsof thisfield are in exactly the same range as our brain waves. Untilrecently, however, no method of sensing or interpreting thisinformation was known, and most scientists discounted theimportance o EMF radiation. HOW WE SENSE THESE FIELDS-TINY MAGNETSUntill975, there was no known magnetic field receptor. Inthat year, the discovery of magnetite was reported in bacteria.This microscopic deposit is biogenic, i.e., synthesized by theliving o r g n i ~ m rather than the mineral ore mined from theearth. t is the mechanism that keeps these bottom dwellingbacteria in the sediment of their marsh habitat. Since this finding, biogenic magnetite has b e " ~ n found in a wide range oforganisms: honeybees . tuna, dolphins, migratory birds andfish, turtles, whales, monkeys and humans. It is likely that allliving organisn:ts have one or more organelles of magnetiteused for a number of daily functions. It appears to be a common biological product that had not been previously discovered

for two reasons: no one looked and only recently have a d e ~quately sensitive instruments been available. .There are at least two areas where our bodies deposit theseparticles: the sinus areas behind our nose, and throughoutour adrenal glands. It is thought that the deposits in the sinusare used by us for magnetic direction finding, while the adrenaldeposits are necessa ry for setting our biological clock as wellas for sensing that something is wrong prior to a storm orearthquake or for getting a feel of someone upon first meet .ing, ever. without seeing the person come in a room. There is also evidence thatamagnetic sensing mechanism is associatedw1th the retina of the eye.With a mechanism for sensing and interpreting these EMFsignals, it is probable that we utilize this information on a continuous basis. Also, with biological fluctuations linked t the minute changes in natural EMFs caused by weather systemsand geomagnetism, it would seem that man-made EMFs,approximating these natural fields, might affect organismsdepending on signals from the natural fields.

LIFE IS AN ELECTRIC PHENOMENON-THE AURAOur body generates many hundreds of individual minuteelectric currents, some very short lived, other fluctuating butfairly continuous. Each of these produces its own electric andmagnetic field in the surrounding tissue and air, lasting as longas the current flows. These currents involve brain activity,blood flow, nerve firings, musc le activity {including the heart},pumping of spinal fluid, and also piezoelectric currents gen

erated when we place a pressure on our long bones (walking,standing, running, etc.).These individual fields interact to form our aura. While theaura has been a foundation of metaphysical teachings for centuries, it is only recently that western medicine has been ableto measure this external expression of internal activity. Heart

and brain wave activity are now measured externally withoutsurgically implanting electrodes .These fields have also beenmapped to determine areas of brain tumors and the locationof mental disorders through the external monitoring of the

EMF's associated with the specific region of affected braintissue. This interaction can work both ways, of course. Internal electric activity produces the external field, while interactionwith EMF can affect internal electric activity and therefore biological processes. It is this external EMF, the aura, that is manipulated in Therapeutic Touch, a procedure recognized in westernmedicine for relaxation, stress relief and pain reduction.GROWTH CONTROLLED BY ELECTRIC SIGNALSOSTEOPOROSIS

The electric currents generated by routine stress of bonesare, in tum, the signalsnecessary for bone growth and healing.A mix-up in the signal affects the shape of a bone or createsone which won't heal. Recent techniques simulating this lowelectric current across broken bones have all but ~ l i m i n t e dthe non-unions which previously ended in some 2000 amputations per year. This stressor action and the associa ted electric current also appear important in osteoporosis. There is adaily cycle of calcium depos ition and removal in bones andbrain tissue. Weightlessness and prolonged confinement tobed reduce calcium deposition and contribute to osteoporosis.Very low level man-made EMF's affect bra in and blood calcium binding cycles, apparently upsetting our own EMF systeminvolved :..vith bone shape and mass development, possiblyagain causing osteoporosis . Externally applied EMF's havebeen used in space suits and in extreme cases of osteoporosisto help build bone mass. This very common and debilitatingdisease of older folks may soon be alleviated by therapeuticEMF's. .MAN-MADE EMFS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAlthough our use of electricity is a little over 100 years old,it has only been since the late 1940 s that we have exposedourselves to high levels of EMF's of varying characteristics.We have changed our electromagnetic exposure more thanany other aspect of our environment. These invisible energyradiations exist throughout the world. EMF's emanate fromall electrical use, i.e., electric power lines, lighting, kitchen and

shop appliances, motors, electric heating, radiation from radioand TV transmission, satellite and other communication systems, and radar and medica l uses of EMF's. The strength ofan EMF decreases rapidly with its 'distance from the source.The electric field component may be distorted, shielded, orblocked by the individual, a house, tree, etc., whereas themagnetic component penetra tes almost everything unchanged.STUDIES OF BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF EMFS

In the 1970 s, concern was raised over the electric fields thatwould exist along the large electric transmission lines beingproposed at that time. Because of i s ~ similar concernsraised aboutamajor antenna system designed by the Navy forworldwide communications with submerged submarines, research was initiated to determine the effects on humans livingor working near these facilities. Since then, many millions ofdollars have been spent on research studies every year by theelectric utility industry and by t 'le U.S. Depart;nents of Ddenseand Energy. Some of these studies, particularly in the earlyyears, were poorly designed .and unproductive, with somescandals and cover-ups. Results in recent years, however,have contributed to the recognition that we are exposed toand affected by man-made EMF's at various frequencies andstrengths from our use of electricity. Ironically, it appears thatthe level of exposure to biologically active fields in our homesand from electric distribution systems in residential areas maybe as much of a concern as tfte EMFs from the new lines thatprompted the research.

STRESS AND IMMUNE SYSTEMS EFFECTSTHE STRAW THAT BREAKS THE CAMEL S BACKIt appears that the stress response is one of the most important effects that EMFs have. This stress syndrome is measuredby changes in reaction time, ability to concentrate, sleep patterns and brain function tests, endocrine system changes, avariety of blood changes as well as changes in growth systemsand immune response measurements. what is not yet knownis.how serious these changes are and how many people theyaffect.This is a difficult answer to obta in from routine scientific research which requires uniformly healthy participants (labanimals or humans). The results therefore can only be appliedto healthy individuals. This test bias is particularly importantwith prescription drug or EMF stress effects. Exposing someone who is already experiencing a heavy load of emotional orphysical stress to a particular level of EMF could very well exacerbate a poor situation; however, the same exposure le.velmight have no noticable affect on a healthy individuaL Anothercomplication is the potential for additive effects with othertreatments. As with the recognized Interaction of drugs andalcohol, the side effects of some glaucoma treatments, Libriumand other drugs are increased with exposure to some EMF's.LEUKEMIAS BIRTH DEFECTS. CANCER GROWTH AND .The first study dearly associating EMF exposures to humanhealth problems occurred in Denver in 1979, where344 deathsfrom childhood cancer from 1950-73 were studied in relationto the wiring characteristics of the home and the distar.ce tonearest transformers. Childhood death rates from leukemia,lymph node cancer, and nervous system tumors in the highcurrent homes (those with strong magnetic fields) were morethan double the rate in low curren t homes. Later studies contain similar findings. There have been a dozen or more studies of the relative riskof leukemia in the work environment Adults who work instrong EMF's have a leukemia incidence significantly higherthan the norm. Such occupations are e l e t r i ~ l equipmentassemblers, telegraph, radio and radar operators, power station operators, welders, etc. Also high voltage switchyardworkers appear to have an increased rate of genetic damageand birth defects.Extensive use of electric blankets and/orwaterbed heatersduring pregnancy seems to be re lated to reduced birth weightsand an increase in spontaneous abortions. An electric blanketproduces a relatively high EMF at the waist of a user, while thefield at the waist of a person standing in a transmission linefield is effectively zero because of the shielding due to the upright position. Embryos develop electric currents which playa role in their own future development and it is likely that thisprocess is affected when a man-made field exists In the fetusand surrounding fluid and tissue.Man made EMFs can stimulate cancer growth in cell andtissue cultures. No studies have suggested that EMFs are

carcinogenic, i.e . cancer producing. The theory, howeve r isthat once cancer is initiated, EMF's can contribute to its rateof growth.While these effects are clear, the increased individual risks(as now known) are low, maybe on the order of other n o _ ~ menvironmental insults .such as cigarettes, alcohoL driving orair po.llution. The danger is tha t with the large number of people exposed to these fields, the number of cancers or otherwiseaffected people is high. As with cigarettes, alcohol and seatbelts, we can decide to reduce our individualj. 'POSures. However, this route is complicated because if we want to "play itsafe" the rules may be different from other hazards. We cannot assume that if it's bad, more isworse: at times, less ismoreTHERAPEUTIC USE OF EMFS-MAGNETIC HEALINGThere is a healing tradition In many societies that referredto magnetism and magnetic healing long before modem medicine or our present understanding of electricity. This traditionhas entered our society with varying levels of acceptance andsuccess in the forms of spiritual healing, laying-on-of-hands,psychic healing, faith healing, Reiki, Reiko, and Marl EL OtherEMF therapies have a broader acceptance, documentationand clearer success, such as Polarity Therapy, the 2500 yeartradition of acupuncture and acupressure and our nursingschool development of Therapeut ic Touch. Some of the present medical applications of EMFZs in monitoring and healinghave already been mentioned, such as EEG's, bone healing,relief of chronic pain, reducing osteoporosis and drug detoxification. Similar applications are likely to increase tremendously.EMF s possess the potential to alleviate symptoms of arthritisthrough cartilage restoration, to reduce ulcers and some cancers, to provide anesthesia, and to correct some genetic birthdefects. There is evidence that EMF's increase the mitotic rateof growing cells. While this would promote healing, it mightalso accelerate the growth of malignant tissue.We need to recogn_ize that EMF's, as with most things in life,are a two-edged sword. We should not foster the easily apparent benefits without carefully examining the side effects.Steve Eabry is a biologist who, while working for the State of NewYork. u s respon ible for evaluating the effec:S of electric generat -Ing plants and transmission lines on humans as well as on naturalsystems. Since 1976 he has monitored the multitude ofEMF effectsresearch while studying therapeutic applications of these fields.Steve and his wife Martha are State Certified Natural Health Counselors and Massage Therapists offering a variety of body therapiesb y appointment-544-1 096.

: HE iEGATIVE INFLUENCE OF WATER VEINS. PartZbigniew Wisniewskl

Pogodna 11 a 71-376 Szczecin POLAND

If a man wants to live and e>nst on the Earth three bas1c cond1tions must befulfilled: l)man must breathe; 2)man must eat drink and excrete; 3)man must sleep.When one of these cond::.t.ions is not kept--man must d1e 1

In th1s article I would like to deal with the problem of proper location of aplace for slee-ping. It is well known to some people such as geologists buildingworkers or well diggers that the whole world is covered by a hydrogeological net.....,orkof underground waters. I rule out obviously surface waters nvers lakes and seas.Underground waters commonly used are strictly related to precipitation and geolog1cstructure and shape of the ground. Prec1pitation waters partly evaporate partly flowinto rivers and lakes and partly percolate into the ground making up undergroundwaters and subterranean waterflows or water veins.

Underground water in turn having remained in the ground for some time, gets tothe surface aga1n in the form of springs or seepages and flo....,s into bas1ns of surfacewaters from which t evaporates into the atmosphere. This is a cycle of closedcirculation like all phenomena in nature.

Simultaneously wlt.h subterranean waters and water veins there exists a verycomplex system of deep underground waters influenced by hydrostatic presscre. I meanall kinds of artesian basins giant lakes created in the glacial period. The pnncipleof connected vessels is in use here. n e resources of water contained in largeartesian basins are estimated to amount to tens or even hundreds of billions of cubicmeters.

Famous American dowser, Vern L Cameron called that. deep setlled water--completelyfree from bacteria--Virgin Water.

I am not interested in deep underground water. I wish to concentrate only on theharmful influence of water veins also called geopathic stresses.

Water veins are small streams and rivers that flow in various depths differ 1nbreadth and speed depending on the angle of indication of the substrate. The largerthe angle the faster a water veins flows. In my practise I have encountered veinsrang1ng from 70cm to 7m in breadth their average breadth is 2 to 4 m.

Radiesthetists determine how harmful geopathic stresses are by reading the depthof 40 - 50 m depending on the composition of geologic structure between a vein and theearth surface.

If this enormous hydrological network located underground in a very elaborate wayand prepared for millions of years to provide for the living conditions we havenowadays were to work its way onto the surface we could not. walk or drive we wouldhave to sail in boats and the l ife on the Earth would be corr.pletely different. Peoplebuild large waterpipe gas or sewage networks i.e. artif icial systems which makeliving easier - that. is quite obvious and these pipelines are also hidden undergroundt is made for practical reasons and everybody considers t natural and correct.

This natural hydrogeological network allowed people centuries ago, and t doesnowadays, to settle in a site chosen for i ts charm, beautiful sight or for practicalreasor:s on plains, hills, slopes, in forests, mou::.1tain passes, etc. ~ n y castles :nEurope, and all over the world, are si tuated on mountain tops. It is obvious that 1fwater had not been found 1n a selected place, noth1ng would have been bu1lt lhere-people may have been pnm1tive in former times, but. not fools.

Nowadays, in this time of high technology, pictures are taken by Landstat system,and others, w1th the use of a multispectral scanner in certain spectral bands--gree-R':red infrared--in order to obtain a picture of geopathic stress locations forgeophys1cs research or simply before drilling in the ground.

What does the harmful radiation of th t enormous geopathic network depend on 7There are many theories on that subject. I am going to describe briefly some of them.Some explorers state that the cause of people's bad feelings are microvibrationsproduced by water movement. Others think that weak electromagnetic fields of lowfrequency are guilty. There is also a theory that electromagnetic radiations of 1420MHz are the reason, reaching the earth surface from the depths. The French schoolrepresentat1ves believe these are cosmic rays reflected from various materials deep inthe ground. An interesting hypothesis has been put forward by Prof. Radwanowski,Warsaw Technical University. 1'1 TTfQ.

GEOMAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS OF WATER VEINS ACCORDING TO PROF. L PADWANOWSKI.One of the natural sources of excited sta tes in the medium is magnetohydrodynarnics

of the deep underground waters. In a turbulent motion and in geomagnetic f ield theywork their way through ruble t a specific pressure, density and viscos1ly. As apolyelectrolite, the water constitutes an electr ic current conductor in which Ouinck,Lorenz and Faraday phenomena and the emission of MHD energy take place, andconsequently, animate and non-animate matter of natural and man-made origin undergoesaccelerated process of ageing.

Prof. Radwanowski also claims that there is analogy between low temperature plasnLamedium with a specific pinch of electr ic discharge and ~ i o p l s m medium of an organisntwhere a periodic explosion of emission occurs at the moment of cell division or itsatrophy. Plasma is defined as an ionized area with a small space charge and nearlyequal member of positive and negative, very active ions including free radicals andPage 16, NOVEMBER DECEMBER 1987 JBR

electrons. The medium in such case constitutes an electrolyte of higher electric andthermal conductiv1ty. Prof. Radwanowski's hypothes1s is undoubtedly the fust ,relatively complete theory concerning the anomaly of energy ever water ve1ns. TI.ish1ghly complex theory has been presented here only in brief. In roy op1nion the matter1s much simpler.

In the tunnel grooved by flowing water, where the level goes up or down depend1ngon 1nf low of water, particles of water rub against substrata particles--funct.lon takesplace here--a phenomenon described by electrostallcs. While conductin9J a simpleexperiment with an electroscope we may see that there are two kinds of electricity 1nnature, and they are conventionally called plus (+) and minus (-). This phenomenon iswell known and described in all physical handbooks all over the world. Brieflyspeak1ng, the same electric charges repel each other, opposite charges attract eachother. Now, what happens when large water masses move on the substrata. When twobodies rub each other, free electric charges appear on their surfaces. It should beremembered, however, that they become free not because of friction. Friction plays asubordinate role which depends on creating a good contact, between two rubbing bodies.This promotes the separation of charges. Thus, the charges are released and accordingto Cohen's principle, substances which have bigger specific inductive capacity

The fact that atmospheric ions gather over water ve1ns is confumed by manyscientific studies. The quantity of ions increased or decreases depending on the depthand intensity of a vein, that is on the speed of water movement. on the substratum. Thestudies of J.Elster, H. Ge1lelem and C.T.R. Wilson, written at the end of the 19thcentury, shed some light on the question of atmospheric electric1 t.y. Van Allen zones,existing at the height of 6 to 20 play an important role. These strata, bombed bycosm1c rays, constitute the source of large quantity of ions (-), I stress it, negative1ons Thus enormous amounts of positive ions released through friction are, in a way,extracted from under the earth, and going through all geological strata they r ~human body to penetrate through 1t like X-rays, radio or TV waves, and go fartherupward as high as Van Allen zones. In this way, the big potential difference is beingequalized. However, when the troposphere contains many positive ions, lhey come backto the earth as atmospheric, i.e., electrical discharges. What is the mechanism ofthis phenomenon?

It has been estimated that there are about 1000 simultaneous thunderstorms on theEarth--although some authors suggest a few thousand. Mean number of discharges persecond is about 100, each of them reaches the peak value of 10 to 20 kA and conveyedcharge amounts to 20 or 30 coulombs because potent1al difference between clouds reacheshundreds of millions Volts. We may t reat the lightning channel as a vertical generatorof electromagnetic waves.

How is such a large amount of electric power created in the atmosphere? Byminimal motion of positive ions released from water veins to the atmosphere. We mustuse our imagination to realize, how large the scale of this phenomenon is. Almost inevery square meter of the earth s surface there exist indiscernible upward movements ofpos1tive ions and hence, probably, the misconception about positive charges fallingonto the earth. Positive charges come into the troposphere regardless of the dayt1me,ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure and so on. The movement is almost constantL..ke a river flowing on the earth surface, and its fluctuations are slight.. It alsotakes place no matter i f there are any clouds hanging or gathering over a certainterritory.

In case there is a high, when the sky is cloudless, electric charges, gatheringpermanently, may cause the balance but after some time there MUST be a change inatmospheric pressure which will result in the so-called thunderstorm front over a givenarea. The difference of atmospheric pressures, amounting to 100 or more hectopascals,set thunderclouds in motion over the whole globe. The clouds, constantly moving,collect on their way enormous quantities of posi.ive charges. This leads to anexcessive increase in cloud s potential and consequently, potential difference betweenthe t-roposphere and the earth, what MUST finally bring thunders

The basic conclusion from this is as follows - the phenomena described aboveconstitute a closed cycle like all phenomena in nature. Those who study atmosphericprocesses know that thunderstorms occur more often over lands then seas - why? Becauset is underground where large masses of water are in constant motion. Cyclones, on the

other hand, occurring in the tropical zone, are caused by trade-winds blowing on thenorthern hemisphere toward the west and reaching southwest coasts of the U.S. andencountering highly concentrated charges (+) brought by easterly winds. - this mustevoke powerful whirls of air accompanied by thunderstorms. Sick men who feel theslightest charges in the environment experience anxiety before a thunderstorm comes,they feel irritated, their bodies ache, etc, these symptoms are caused y excessiveconcentration of ions (+) . After the atmospheric front moves away a relief comes, theair seems to be so clear, the air is filled with ozone and people feel much better -Page 18, NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1987 JBR

Released positive charges, which penetrate like radio or TV waves, reach a man sbody in the place he sleeps. Why do I mention a sleeping place? Because a man staysin such a place 6 to 12 hours a day, the number depends on how much sleep a givenindividual needs. Thus, a human body which does not move is subject to the permanentbombardment of positive ions. It also refers to people who have a sedentary job.

Human skin is not resistant to pos1tive ions, so they penetrate through ep1thelluminside t.he body where through the lymphatic system, by osmos1s, they reach our externaland internal organs. It is known that a human body has about 60 - 70 tri l l ion cells

Many a tlme 1n our l lves we have witnessed a death of someone who enJoyed goodhealth and only an autopsy proves, 1n such cases, that serious internal damages causeddeath of, say a 30 - 50 year old person. There is a direct relation between a harmfulgeopathic radiation and the susceptibility to cancer, what shall try to demonstratein the subsequent articles. At present want only to descnbe general symptoms ofhuman organ1sm under radiation, observed by hundreds of radiesthet.ists all over theworld. The general noticeable symptoms of human organism under geopathic radiationare: insomnia, apathy, fatigue, an increased excitability, imposs1bihty to concentratethoughts, and the like. J ..

Scientific researches into radiation effects have proven changes in thebioelectrical activities of the brain, deviation from the rule in morphology of theblood, disturbances of the activities of endocrine glands, pathological changes ofblood vessels, susceptibility to disturbances of the blood s ability tocoagulate, etc. According to my experience the internal organs most. frequentlyattacked are: head, arms shoulders, alimentary canal, coronary vessels, pancreas,spleen, liver, circulatory system, nervous system. Would you please pay attention lothe fact, that the f irs t under attack are organs containing cells which are buillmainly by water, e.g. neuron cells of the brain built in 85 of water.

The negative radiation of water veins affects also the animals and the plants. Asto the plants nursed at home thy can be divided into two groups: influencing humanorganism positively and negatively. Generally speaking i a p l ~ n t is narrow-leaved,e.g. fern, myrtle, geranium, its influence is positive whereas the latifolious plantsaffect. the human organism negatively. The fruit trees which do not. like water veinsare pear, plums cherry, walnut.. The ones which do like them are apple and apricot.The watchful observers of the vegetable habitat must have noticed losses in old hedges,excrescences and deformations upon tree trunks, the so-called tumors and likephenomena which am going to describe--there is a large body of lit.eralure on theSUbJeCt.

The animals which avoid geopathic radiation zones are: dogs cows horses, pigs,storks, whereas bees, ants, termites and cats like these zones, and especially the catdoes, it. besides, influences the human organism therapeutically this topic I shalldiscuss briefly. Positive ions are necessary for cats to live, therefore cats kept onknees help sick people to recover by absorbing those harmful ions.

A fact worth mentioning is also the negative influence of watery veins upon thesafety of the road traffic. In the present period of rapid development. of motortransport different road accidents have been happening and there would be nothingunusual about the fact except for the circumstances sometimes very difficult to beexplained. According to detailed investigation the drivers were sober, healthy andphysically fit, t.he vehicles were efficient, the weather and visibili ty were excellentand the road was dry and straight. So i t seems impossible that such accidents havehappened, but in accordance with police reports drivers sometimes react in a verystrange way:

- a sudden turn to the l f t side of the road and a collision with a tree,- sinking into a momentary nap and loss of control upon t.he vehicle,- a head-on collision when there was hardly any traffic in the road, the visibility wasvery good and the road - dry,- a unjustified turn into a ditch or a field.

Some segments of the roads are called death places . Last year in Poland a new roadsign was introduced, t warns the drivers of special concentration of watery veins.Tne huge positive ions density penetrates in a flash into the driver's body andparalyses his nervous s y s t e ~ and is the reason of the accident. These are the facts .

In the light of these facts, what is the situation in our f lats like 7 Rotten, veryrotten. I do not know the s1tuation of other countries but in Poland and particularlyin Szczecin the number of watery veins running under a typical apartment house isgreat., even very great at times. An average number amounts to 5-7 water veins andthere are flats with 11-12 veins. Under my detached house there are eleven geopathicthreads, but, of course, my place has been secured against them. So, when I hearanybody, even a radiesthetist , talk about only one water vein, I know he st.ill has muchto learn about radiesthesia.

I shall try to explain this phenomenon in a concise and clear way. At the verybeginning I would like to attract your attention to the harmfulness of all materialsused to f i l l our flats--everything inside them radiates harmfully: walls Cthe so-calledPolish great. slab or supor ex), artif icial carpets and floor finishes, artif icial tiles,furniture made of flaxboard and artif icial plastics of furniture covering. Generallyspeaking, what is not natural is harmful, including our clothes, underwear, food andmedicines. If there is anybody not convinced yet, let him eat a sausage in naturaltripe and later in an artif icial one - he will find out the difference by himself. Ido not want to concentrate upon these facts any longer -- they are well known.TO BE ONTINUED

Mulch? Tomatoes prefer redGardeners are encouraged to mulch their plants to reduceweed growth and moisture loss in the surrounding soil. Someexperts recommend mulching with whatever is least expensive

in your area, such as wood chips. straw or shredded newspapers. Others recommend opaque plastic for its ability tocollect and retain heat, often a benefit to tender seedlings setout in the cool spring. But gardeners may find it most profitableto focus on the color of their mulch, rather than what it's madefrom, according to scientists at Clemson (S.C.) University andthe U.S. Department of Agriculture's Coastal Plains Soil andWater Conservation Research Center in Florence. S.C. Theirpreliminary work indicates that the color of the light a mulchreflects back onto a growing plant can sign ificantly affect itsgrowth.Early work by USDA s Patrick G. Hunt and Michael J.Kasperbauer showed that by affecting phytochrome, a colorsensitive substance, even five minutes of colored light at theend of the day could alter the shape and size of a plant . orexample. Hunt says such brief exposures to red light (600- to700-nanometer wavelength) left soybeans, wheat and peasmore spindly and smaller-rooted than plants exposed to far-red light (700 to i70 nm) at day's end_

The next log ical step was to see how the color of the soi l - orthe mulch covering t might affect seasonal growth. To oursurprise, Hunt says, in experiments with tomatoes last year,~ t h e red mulch gave us larger fruit and even increased the totalnumber of frui t. Relative to black mulch , it improvt-d yields 20percent. This year's surprise, he says . is how well white mulchappears to be improving bell pepper and potato productionover yields in sandy light-colored) soil and plots mulchedwith straw painted yellow, red or blue. It suggests, he says, thateach plant may have its own preferred color.Moreover, he adds, since the photochrome chemistry thesemulches appear to be affecting can be temperature sensitive,similar plants grown under different seasonal conditions -hotter summers or longer days- may require some spectralfine-tuning to yield comparable results. F i n a l l ~ he notes thathis preliminary studies have focused only on changes in yieldsand morphological factors like stem length. Still to be studied iswhether changes in reflected spectra will alter characteristicslike taste, shelf life or susceptibility to blights.
