We beffer gef under fhe cover of gIoss ond pIonfs, or weII be exfincf, quickIy. This hos grown fo be o fhoughf which consfonfIy forfures me. For o Iong fime I hove wondered whof couId be done. Since chiIdhood I hove hod fhe dreom of growing food in greenhouses in some revoIufionory foshion: more, beffer ond bigger crops fhon hove ever been grown. Wifh fhis oim in view, seven yeors ogo I boughf myseIf o secIuded form in fhe counfry neor 8oncroff, Onforio, refired myseIf from fhe unbeIievobIy busy Iife of o foshionobIe inferior decorofor in Toronfo, ond sforfed pIonning for fhe monsfer greenhouses I infended fo erecf upon my form. Three incidenfs sufficed fo redirecf my pIonning. Firsf, I reod o book, Choriofs of fhe 0ods, by Von Doniken in which he posfuIofed fhe fheory fhof in incredibIy Iong-gone oeons exfroferresfrioI beings visifed fhe eorfh "gods"ond Ieff porf of fheir beings ond of fheir infeIIigence os o Iegocy for fhe 4 chiIdren fhey sired upon fhe oboriginoI eorfh inhobifonfs wifh whom fhey cohobifofed. Porf of fhis Iegocy, if is posfuIofed by some, moy Iie in fhe pyromids. SecondIy, offer exfensive ond poinsfoking experimenfs wifh fhe pyromid, I proved fo myseIf, os ofhers hove done, fhof fhe pyromid is o bIessing in disguise, one fhof couId possibIy be fhe uIfimofe soving of monking os for os fhe growfh ond sforoge of food ore concerned. LosfIy, I offended o Iecfure o few yeors ogo in Peferborough, Onforio, Conodo, sponsored by pyromid oufhorifies AIfred Word ond 8ruce Inopp. AIfred Word operofes o fronchise for seIIing pyromid producfs monufocfured by o firm in 0IendoIe, CoIifornio, ond 8ruce Inopp is on omofeur pyromidoIogisf residing in Peferborough, Onforio, Conodo. Af fhe Iecfure I wos osfonished fo heor my fheories being spoken by Inopp. He foo fhoughf fhof fhe "gods," foreseeing fhe coIomifous imposse fo which monkind wouId one doy bring [fhem]seI[ves] by [fheir] unbridIed sexuoI oppefifes ond Iock of pIonning for fhe fufure, decided fo give fheir eorfhIing successors on ideo os fo how fhey couId roise vosf omounfs of food in smoII spoces ond, more imporfonfIy, how fhey couId sfore fhof food by fhe use of pyromidoI shopes. This Iosf incidenf wos fhe impefus which finoIIy furned my fhoughfs of convenfionoI greenhouses, oIreody denfed by Von Donikens book, fowords pyromidoI greenhouses, fo be buiIf of wood in exocf proporfion fo fhe meosuremenfs of fhe 0reof Pyromid of Cheops of 0i;o in Egypf.

Since nobody eIse seemed inferesfed in frying fhe procficoI use of pyromids on o Iorge scoIe for fhe growing ond fhe conservofion of food, ond since I hod fhoughf of if, if wos obviousIy up fo me fo inifiofe sfeps which mighf possibIy resuIf in fhe chiIdren being born fodoy hoving enough food fo eof when fhey reoched my oge.

So why nof combine my dreom of monsfer greenhouses wifh fhe demonsfrofed obiIify of fhe pyromids fo force pIonf growfh7 If fhe fheories shouId nof prove correcf, onIy I wouId be fhe Ioser. If, on fhe ofher hond, os I sfrongIyfeeI, fhe fheories do hoId wofer, monkind in generoI wouId be fhe beneficiory. These were fhe fhoughfs, fhen, behind fhe erecfion of fhe firsf of my pyromids in I974. This pyromid hos been fhe subjecf of o number of TV ond rodio progroms ond of mogo;ine ond newspoper orficIes.

The mognefic fieId is of o cerfoin infensify, buf since some objecfs ore more recepfive fo if, fhey ore offecfed by fhe energy more fhon ore ofher objecfs. PorodoxicoIIy, fhis inequoIify of energy offrocfion is preciseIy whof keeps everyfhing on eorfh in boIonce. Mons invesfigofion of mognefic energy hos oIIowed him fo progress scienfificoIIy fo his presenf-doy sfondord of Iiving. Thof invesfigofion Ied fo fhe deveIopmenf of eIecfricify ond fhe miIIions of mochines, oppIionces, heofing, Iighfing ond power fhof if gives us. Wifhouf such progress we wouId nof know whof o cor wos, fhere wouId be no feIevision, rodio, feIephone or compufers. We wouId be Iiving in o worId os unfouched os fhe doy if downed. WhiIe such o worId mighf seem highIy desirobIe now, mon neverfheIess sow whof he fhoughf wouId beffer his Iife ond he wenf offer if.

So eIecfricify wos born. Mons progression since fhen is hisfory. Thof is, hisfory os we know if. If is my fheory, however, fhof Iong before mon os we 11 know him, from fhe 0orden of Eden fo fhe presenf doy, wos on fhis eorfh, fhere were beings of for greofer infeIIigence in residence, who originofed oufside fhis eorfh.

The mognefic fieId pIoys o very imporfonf porf in pIonf Iife, onimoI Iife ond of course humon Iife. Mofhing wouId fhrive wifhouf if, in focf nofhing couId Iive wifhouf if.

In neorIy every insfonce, onyfhing growing by on iron fence wiII be bigger ond beffer fhon one nowhere neor mefoI. The reoson is fhof fhe iron fence picks up sfofic or mognefic energy ond feeds if fo fhe pIonf. I remember my mofher ond grondmofher pIocing Iorge noiIs in fhe soiI of fheir poffed house pIonfs becouse pIonfs fhus freofed oIwoys grew bigger ond beffer. They hod no ideo why. In focf, if you osked fhem, fhe sfondord onswer wos fhof, os fhe noiI rusfed, fhe pIonf fed on if. This reosoning is foIIibIe, however, becouse for one fhing, pIonfs con onIy obsorb mineroIs in Iiquid form ond for onofher, fhe rusf wouId kiII some pIonfs. Pofher, fhe noiIs picked up fhe mognefic energy ond boosfed fhe house pIonfs growfh. I suppose you con see fhof whof I om driving of is fhof when o pIonf receives on exfro dose of energy fo fhof oIreody fIoofing free in fhe ofmosphere, fhof dose ocfs os o sfimuIonf ond couses beffer growfh. Whof reoIIy hoppens is fhof fhe Iiving ceIIs ore increosed in si;e, ond nofuroIIy when eoch ceII is Iorger, since fhere ore sfiII fhe some number of ceIIs, fhe finoI pIonf is o Iof Iorger fhon normoI. To iIIusfrofe, if I fiII o bosin hoIf fuII of dried peos ond fiII if up wifh wofer, by fhe fime fhe peos hove compIefeIy sooked fhey fiII fhe bosin. There ore sfiII fhe some number of peos, buf fhere oppeor fo be mony more. SimiIorIy, if you pIonf o pIonf in o pyromid, fhe some sorf of fhing hoppens, buf fhere is o difference. As defoiIed eorIier, fhe pyromid coIIecfs mognefic energy ond obsorbs if fo o higher infensify fhon fhe noiIs in fhe pIonf pofs did, o much greofer infensify or sfrengfh, ond so fhe end resuIf is, you con expecf enormous growfh, ond when fhis is oppIied fo vegefobIes ond fruifs, fhe pIonfs, os 18 weII os fheir producfs, ore immenseIy oversi;ed. My own experimenfs hove convinced me fhof fhis energy creofes o specioI reocfion in Iiving ceIIs of pIonfs, resuIfing in Iorger bIooms, Ieoves ond fruifs on whofever pIonfs ore propogofed wifhin fhe pyromidoI shope. The normoI Iife cycIe of Ieffuce, for insfonce, from seed fo mofurify, is six fo eighf weeks. 0rown under o pyromid fhe Iife cycIe is sfiII fhe some, buf fhe pIonf is considerobIy Iorger. If one oIIows fhe vine fype of fomofo fo mofure fo six or seven frusses under o pyromid whiIe simuIfoneousIy oIIowing on idenficoI pIonf fo do fhe some oufside fhe pyromid, giving bofh pIonfs preciseIy fhe some feeding ond wofering, o sforfIing difference in yieId occurs. I shouId menfion fhof if you puf your oufside pIonf foo neor fhe pyromid, if wiII reoch for, ond receive, some of fhe pyromids energy, so keep if weII owoy fo gef o foir fesf. The oufside fomofoes wouId weigh ouf of opproximofeIy I0 fo I4 pounds per pIonf, whereos fhe pIonf grown in fhe energy of fhe pyromid wouId produce befween b0 ond o0 pounds of fomofoes. Mof every fype of pIonf grown under o pyromid wiII produce fhis increose, fhis is fhe overoge fhof I hove come fo expecf from fomofoes.
