RESONANCE
There is a very strange effect that seems to permeate nature.Without it
accoustical instruments such as violins and guitars would not work.
Neither would radio tuning circuits.In fact without it early radio would
have been impossible. It is called resonance and is the ability of one
mechanism to affect another over a distance providing the second
mechanism is "tuned" either mechanically or electronically to the first
"prime" mechanism.
The simplest example is the tuning fork. When struck this device
resonates at its natural frequency and a similar device a short distance
away will resonate "in sympathy". Energy has been transferred via the
air between both objects. When you tap an empty wine glass it resonates
at its natural pitch. And the strange thing about resonance is that
enormous amounts of energy can be generated under certain conditions. It
was discovered some time ago that the space between the earths surface
and the ionosphere had a natural resonant frequency between 7-10 cycles
per second, which is in the human brain alpha range. Flashing lights shone
on the eyelids of a person cause the brain frequencies to "resonate" with
the cyclic frequency of this light, which is the basis of how mind machines
operate.
A guitar or violin has a sounding box which tends to resonate with the
strings as they are struck. Without this resonating sounding box you
would not easily hear the strings vibrating. The resonance effect amplifies
the volume of the strings.
In an electronic circuit the coil and capacitor (which form the tuning

5/2/00

circuit) are manually adjusted (by the tuning control) to the frequency of
the incoming radio signal. The circuit actually selects the incoming signal
by amplifying it by a factor of 100 or more, over and above any of the
other frequencies. This is called the "Q Factor" of the tuned circuit. The
higher this "Q Factor" the greater the selectivity or "resonance factor".
Very low frequency sounds around 4-10 cycles per second can do
extraordinary damage under certain conditions. If they are aimed at a
structure which has a resonant frequency equivalent to that being sent
then enormous amounts of energy can be generated which appear to be
out of all proportion to the energy being transmitted.
A French engineer by the name of Professor Gavraud discovered by
accident that the nausea attacks he was suffering in his office were caused
by low frequency vibrations generated by the air conditioning plant on the
roof of a building across the road. These vibrations were being conducted
thru the air and because of the shape and the critical distance of his office
from the air conditioner his office was "tuned" to the 7 cps being
generated across the road. This constant subliminal vibration affected his
nervous system and made him feel sick. Being an engineer he decided to
build machines with which he could experiment. After a lot of testing he
found that a 6 foot version of a French Policeman's whistle produced the
subsonic sounds he needed. To make it work he powered it with
compressed air. Apparently there was a fatal accident on its very first
test. The technician operating it collapsed with crushed organs, such was
the effect of the subsonic blast. They found that the low frequency waves
could be "aimed" at a concrete building some distance away and under
some conditions could cause the foundations to disintergrate. These
devices became known as "Frequency-7" machines and copies of the
patents are available from the French patent office. They are extremely
simple to build and in unskilled hands can be very dangerous indeed. The
actual energy generated in the foundations of the building is vastly
greater than that generated by the device - it has been magnified by
resonance.
Subliminal low frequency waves appear to be generated in advance of an
earthquake, sometimes some hours ahead of the actual quake. It is this
subliminal sound that some animals and birds notice. Goldfish are
particularly sensitive to these frequencies and it is quite common in
earthquake prone Japan to keep a goldfish and watch for strange
behaviour.
The human mind appears to slip into resonance when it is totally absorbed
in a fascinating project. Little mental energy is expended under these
conditions. Consider the energy you expend at a job you detest - then
consider the lack of energy you expend while involved in your favourite
hobby later that night!
There is a machine you can build called a TESLA COIL which relies
heavily on resonance to produce enormously high voltages to throw
sparks 5-10 feet and more. The machine starts off with a high voltage
transformer (usually a 10-15,000 volt neon light transformer) which
discharges across a small spark gap. This discharge produces high
http://www.mindtech.com.vu/Anomalies.html
5/2/00

frequency waves which are then fed into the primary winding of a resonant
tuned circuit. The secondary winding consists of many thousands of turns
of fine wire on an insulated tube 5-10 feet high. The resonance and "Q"
multiplying effect produce extremely high (low current) voltages which are
fairly safe and totally spectacular. I used to build these for experimental
purposes but they had the nasty habit of demolishing TV reception for
miles around!
With my own background in electronic design I sometimes wonder about
the shape of the double helix DNA spiral .... and whether it couldn't be
some form of sub-micro tuned circuit ...... receiving who-knows-what from
who-knows-where!!!

and drift back into that unconscious bicameral state which they find so
naturally comfortable. But the very strange thing is that their brain waves
remain the same as if they were fully awake! That is, they don't
necessarily drop down to alpha or theta just because they are hypnotised.
They are in an altered consciousness state but nobody can explain what it
actually is. I have personally been hypnotising people for over 30 years
and I haven't got a single clue how it works. All I really know about it is
that it is extraordinarily handy if you want to modify some basic belief
system. That is, it is perfect for a "re-programming" job either in yourself
or your hypnotic subject. And a person under hypnosis is perfectly capable
of thinking and reasoning so it is nothing like ordinary sleep. The alpha
and theta states we learn in mind-power courses are nothing to do with
hypnosis. By their very nature people are "suggestible". Some more so
than others. It would appear to me that hypnosis works by altering this
"suggestibility threshold". And it is very, very difficult to hypnotise
someone who doesn't want to be hypnotised. The only way I know to do
this is to thump them with a block of wood first then catch 'em as they
wake up!!
(Intelligent readers will recognise this as a weak attempt at humour).
The funny thing is that the technique for achieving self-hypnosis is
virtually the same as for inducing alpha and theta states. I have the
feeling that the trance state of hypnosis would be more beneficial than
alpha/theta states. A person seems to be able to achieve a lot more under
hypnosis than simple modified brain-wave states. But I find it extremely
difficult to get involved with both during the same time period. It appears
to be similar to the difficulties experienced when learning Remote Viewing
and Out-Of-Body techniques. You can do one or the other, but to try both
causes confusion. If you pick up a book on self hypnosis you will find it
similar in content and method to any of the commercial mind-power
methods. But whichever method you settle on, you will find enormous
advantages in being able to produce rapid changes in your personal
perception. There is probably a cross-over between the two and the extent
of this cross-over may well vary with each individual.
Basically both the hypnotic and alpha/theta methods enable you to
communicate with your subconscious mind - and that is all that really
matters. Once you can get deep into your own mind you can change your
basic belief systems and greatly affect your personal success in life. This
sometimes happens with people who have had a severe traumatic
experience (such as in the Vietnam War). In this situation an intense
experience of short duration appears to re-programme the entire mind, so
that the personality and belief system change dramatically. This was the
basis of the "brain-washing" technique used during the war. The human
mind is an extremely fragile thing and any intense or deeply emotional
experience can alter its perception and reaction to external stimuli.
If you've watched any of those hypnotic shows on TV you will have
noticed how easy hypnosis appears. But...... remember that the people
climbing on stage EXPECT to be hypnotised and around 50% of them will
be. It is this "expectation" which alters their suggestibility level, not the

"resonant" (for want of a better word) the feeling between the fingertips
and the touchpad changes.
The dial of the machine is pre-calibrated for various known elements so
when the sample of an unknown substance is placed in the pickup coil the
presence of specific elements can be fairly accurately determined. Not
only this but the actual percentage of materials can be determined.
Sounds ridiculous....doesn't it?
Well....around 25 years ago when I owned an electronics design lab one of
our regular customers (a physics instructor at the local university) bought
in one of these machines and after demonstrating it asked me what I
thought of it.
I can tell you now I didn't think of it. The machine was obviously a fake.
Only problem was...I could make it work accurately. So could four of my
co-designers.
This caused mass consternation in my laboratory. We built one ourselves
and I had trouble stopping the staff from playing with it when they were
supposed to be working on time-sensitive circuit designs.
The device does not appear to operate on any known principle of physics
but oddly enough in the past 25 years I have heard very little about it. At
the time we assumed that this was some major breakthru however little
appears to have come of it.
There is basically no reason for it to work at all......but it does! Thousands
of these devices have been built over the years and most operators
appear to get passable results. Even profound skeptics have had success
in some instances.(We were in this category!)
The sensing pad appears to produce a slightly different sensation for
different people....but the recurring comment was that it felt like the pad
had suddenly been covered in tar when the circuit was tuned. When it was
detuned the "sticky" feeling disappeared and the original "smooth
feeling" returned.
The other strange thing about this device is that the circuit components
are totally non-critical. Any broadband medium frequency amplifier will
do. The pickup coil is not critical....and neither is the touch sensor pad.
Once the machine is calibrated, say, for gold, then any other person
operating the device will get a response for gold at exactly the same prism
setting. That is, the tactile response will occur at the same place on the
pre-calibrated dial.
Figure that one out! (I can't!)

But....if you think all of the above is a bit far fetched and
ridiculous....you'll be even more stunned as you read the following:
Around 6 months after the physics instructor introduced us to the
Hieronymous Machine he wandered in with another of these devices. He
told us that this one was an improved model and asked if we would like to
try it. By this time my super-skeptical staff were thoroughly puzzled and
seemed quite keen to "give it a go".
We got the same results as before, with each of the staff noticing the
"tacky" effect at the correct pre-calibrated points when different minerals
were inserted into the pickup coil.
We all agreed it worked at least as accurately as the earlier model.
At this point the owner undid the screws on the top of the device and
removed the lid....and we all did something we never should have done...
We looked inside....
All the circuitry had been removed and in its place was a CIRCUIT
DIAGRAM drawn on a piece of white card. The wires from the input coil
were attached to the edge of this card to coincide with the circuit diagram
input....and likewise with the output connection.
The diagram included the standard symbol for a battery.
That is...the entire "innards" was merely a circuit diagram.
Now I want you to picture this:
Here were four of the top electronic designers in the country, who
specialized in designing circuitry that other people found too complicated
to tackle. We had in front of us a circuit diagram which was acting as if it
were a bunch of transistors and capacitors. It was totally beyond anything
we had collectively experienced.
Then the physics teacher really upset us. He asked us to each try the
"machine" once more to ascertain that it was really working. It was.
He then took an ink eraser out of his pocket and rubbed out the schematic
battery symbol, so that the circuit diagram had no apparent battery.
He then asked us all to try the machine again.
IT DIDN'T WORK!
He then redrew the battery symbol in...and... it WORKED AGAIN!
All this in front of four intelligent well-educated top flight electronic
designers.
I have never seen one of these devices since that day..and I'm not sure if
I want to. But if this subject is of interest....and you want to build one of
these "impossible" machines, then you might like to get hold of a recent
paperback by rocket engineer G.H. Stine which gives precise

Older readers may recall the stir created in the scientific world by the
Soviet Union's most renowned astrophysicist, Dr. N. Kozyrev when he
announced that there was volcanic activity on the moon in the crater
named Alphonsus. The scientific community was very sceptical but
eventually Nasa confirmed his findings. His reputation was made. So when
this very same scientist came up with a startling new theory of time, the
scientific community sat up straight.
After many years of research he concluded that time was a form of
energy !
Some 17 years earlier he had wondered how telepathic thoughts could be
transferred from one person to another instantaneously. He was curious
as to what sort of energy could be involved. So his brilliant mind enabled
him to conceive a rather fantastic instrument based around a gyroscope,
a torsion balance and an asymmetrical pendulum. The resultant "device"
enabled him to measure this strange new energy, which turned out to be
time !!! He found that time is "thinner" near the cause of an event and
"thicker" near the effect of the event.
One of his experiments involved stretching an elastic band mechanically
by a machine.
His device deflected to point toward the "effect" end of the elastic. It
indicated that there had been an increase in density of time! Organic
"events" give particularly good results - the burning of sugar is a
favourite experiment he uses when demonstrating to other members of
the scientific community.
He shielded his experiment against all known forces and electromagnetic
fields and found this new effect still occurred, regardless.
And the interesting point is that the effect acts upon the measuring
instrument at a distance. The gyroscope pendulum is affected without any
conventional known force acting upon it. He further found that the quality
of his thoughts affected the experiment. When he filled his thinking with
the emotion of poetry the equipment measured more of a change than
when he thought of mathematical equations.
From this it is reasonable to conclude that thoughts may change the
density of time. After all these years of research he concludes that it is
likely that telepathy changes the "density of time". Time would be "thin"
near the sender and "thicker" around the receiver. And as time appears
instantaneously everywhere this could account for the reason telepathy is
also instantaneous.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TIME IS MODULATED BY THOUGHT, IN
THE SAME WAY THAT A RADIO CARRIER WAVE IS
MODULATED BY THE RADIO PROGRAMME THE STATION IS
SUPERIMPOSING ON IT !!!
What he was actually looking at was a psychokinetic effect. The flexing of
an elastic band caused his instruments to react at a distance. He also
found that he obtained much more pronounced effects when the weather
was cold and stable and the landscape was covered with snow.
He further suspected that time has a pattern of flow and a rate of flow. As
http://www.mindtech.com.vu/Anomalies.html
5/2/00
Anomalies-of-Nature
Page 13 of 34
the rate of time flow thru a substance varies, weight is lost. He feels this
could be the answer to the scientific dilemma of levitation! Various
psychokinetic experts such as Uri Geller have been tested under
laboratory conditions in this respect and have measurably reduced the
weight of light objects by thought-power alone.
While all this might sound like fairy-tale material, the US scientific
community have taken it seriously. The research continues.............!!
NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS !!
LIFE FIELDS
In the 1940's the scientific world was startled to hear that a "LIFE
FIELD" had been discovered to exist around all living things .....animals,
plants and humans included. These could be measured by a vacuum tube
voltmeter with special electrodes and were totally distinct from brainwave
voltages. These fields can now be "seen" with the aid of the more recent
"Kirlian Photography".
You may remember from your high school science classes the experiment
where iron filings are scattered on top of a piece of cardboard and a
magnet placed underneath the card. When the cardboard is shaken the
filings arrange themselves to display the "lines of force" of the magnet's
field. If the filings are then thrown away and fresh ones scattered on the
card, the new filings assume the same shape as the old ones. That is, the
lines of magnetic force are constant.
The life force around a living organism adopts the same pattern. It
develops its final life-form shape, even before the organism has started
developing!
The cells in your body are constantly dying out and being replaced. It has
been estimated that over a 12 month period there exists not a single
original cell in your body. You are a new person but thanks to your LIFE
FIELD you have retained the same physical identity. As in the magnetic
field example above, your Life-Field remains the same, even though its
core constituents may change.
Your Life-Field appears to be your genetic controller!
This electro-dynamic body-field serves as a matrix or mould, which
stabilises the shape of any substance poured into it. No matter how often
this substance is changed, the final result stays the same.
When the "L Field" in a frog's egg is examined, it is possible to determine
the future location of the nervous system from the projected axis of the LField voltage measurements. This also holds true for the seeds of plants.
In one extended experiment the L-Fields of two trees were measured over
many years. As trees are stable and don't move about the measurements
http://www.mindtech.com.vu/Anomalies.html
5/2/00
Anomalies-of-Nature

were able to be taken with a high degree of accuracy over the life of the
experiment. The electronic equipment was attached to the trunks via
special electrodes and it was demonstrated conclusively that the L-Fields
vary with sunlight and darkness, with cycles of the moon and with
magnetic storms created by sunspots. This was astounding new
knowledge.
L- Fields are examined by measuring the voltage difference between two
points on, or near, the surface of a living object. Human L-Field
measurements can be taken by placing one electrode on the forehead and
the other on the hand or chest. But a quicker more convenient way is by
measuring the potential difference between the left and right-hand index
fingers. To do this two containers of saline (salt) solution are connected
via special electrodes to a very high impedance voltmeter. The fingers are
washed thoroughly then immersed into the containers of liquid. The
voltage is noted down and the same process is repeated on a regular basis
to track the potential of the L-Fields. It has been proven conclusively that
the exact moment of female ovulation can be detected by a surge in the LField voltage. The voltage rises slowly and steadily prior to ovulation and
drops rapidly after the egg has been released. That is, when the egg is
released the voltage changes significantly almost immediately. This
process has been used to help couples who have had difficulty conceiving.
The voltmeter used has to be a vacuum tube type or similar ultra-high
impedance. This is because the standard voltmeter (multi-meter) you buy
at your local electronic shop has a low input impedance and draws current
out of the circuit it is testing. The VTVM (vacuum tube voltmeter) on the
other hand draws no current at all so does not interfere with the circuit
under test - in this case the human body. The saline solution in the
containers acts as a pliable form-fitting conductor between your finger and
the special electrode which is attached to the VTVM.
In trees the electrodes are attached via a special paste about 2 feet apart.
Prior to the discovery of the VTVM L-Fields could not be measured.
Wounds to a person's body affect the L-Field, even something as small as
a cut finger. The L-Field potential in the vicinity of a broken bone changes
and it has been found that by supplying a small voltage from a miniature
battery across this break, the fracture can be made to heal more quickly.
There are now clinics set up to utilise this effect and it has been reported
that the results are outstanding. This type of treatment has proven
particularly effective for the elderly where bone fractures can present a
real problem.
It is interesting to note that with the right equipment L-Fields can be
measured at a distance from the body, which proves that they are a true
"field" and not just electrical skin potential.
One well known experimenter , Dr. Leonard J Ravitz Jnr., has used an LField detector to measure the depth of hypnosis in a subject. During the
hypnotic state the brain waves and body physiology remain the same.
http://www.mindtech.com.vu/Anomalies.html
5/2/00
Anomalies-of-Nature
Page 15 of 34
That is, until the L-Field experiment it was impossible to measure the
depth of hypnosis.
This was also considered to be another break-thru!
Dr. Ravitz also discovered after 30,000 measurements on 430 human
subjects regular cyclic rhythms were detected. When people felt "really
good" their L-Field voltages were high and when they felt "below par"
their voltages were low. These human rhythms appear to have a 2 week
cycle. Since these L-Fields occur in all living things it does not seem that
they are connected with biorhythms.
We are actively looking for more information about L-Fields as they may
tie in with our experiments on luck cycles. It may be that the voltage
reading could coincide with specific PK "luck" periods. If so, it would be a
highly accurate way of determining when your PK activity is at its highest.
This idea of a bio-energy is not new. The ancient Chinese knew about it they called it VITAL ENERGY. The Hindus called it PRANA. The
Polynesian Huna people called it MANA. Currently the Soviets refer to
it as BIOPLASMIC ENERGY and the Czechoslovakian Scientists (where
the generator was "re-discovered") call it PSYCHOTRONIC ENERGY.
It was suspected that such an energy existed for some time but it wasn't
until the Russians invented the KIRLIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS
that this strange energy could actually be observed.
The secrets of the Psychotronic generator were discovered in a strange
manner. Robert Pavlita was the design director of a large Czech textile
plant and patented the design for a new textile process. The royalties from
the successful application of his process were substantial and enabled him
to spend more time on his hobby which was metallurgy and the search for
information on the fabled psychotronic devices. He apparently spent years
searching the archives of Czech libraries and eventually stumbled on the
information he needed in the form of manuscripts which hadn't been
researched for centuries.
Pavlita found that by combining various metals and making them to a
critical shape, he could manufacture devices which would store bio-energy

stand and scatter magnetic fragments over the glass. He then places a
powerful horseshoe magnet under the glass and demonstrates how he can
move the magnetic chips about with this magnet. Next he uses a
psychotronic generator that looks like a rectangular ball-point pen to pick
up the chips on the glass. They attach themselves to the tip of the
generator which is able to overcome the magnetic force from the magnet
underneath the glass to pick up these chips.
Then he demonstrates the same thing with the whole apparatus under
water!!!
The Czech Scientists think this energy might be the same force that allows
psychic healers to remove a person's health problems and to allow people
like Uri Geller to cause mung beans to sprout while held in the palm of
their hands. They also think it is responsible for the way world famous PK
expert Nelya Mikhailova is able to move small objects at a distance. (This
was also shown on the SBS TV documentary).
However the bottom line to all this is that these psychotronic devices are
not new. They appear to have been around for thousands of years. It was
left to Robert Pavlita to "re-discover" them by searching thru ancient
manuscripts, some apparently over 400 years old!
SCIENTIFIC PSYCHOKINETICS
EXPERIMENTS
In the early 80's the scientific world received a severe shock when a
scientist at PRINCETON UNIVERSITY was able to prove conclusively
that PK not only existed, but could be statistically measured!
The announcement was all the more startling in view of the international
reputation of not only the scientist himself, but of the institution he was
representing.
The gentleman concerned was none other than Robert C. Jahn, a
professor of aerospace sciences and dean emeritus of the School of
Engineering and Applied Science at the world famous Princeton
University. Jahn was a former consultant for NASA and the Department
of Defense where his main interest was space propulsion. He is the author
of the leading textbook in the field, the PHYSICS OF ELECTRIC
PROPULSION.
He had no interest at all in paranormal events until a student asked him to
oversee a PK project she was involved in as a study project. Apparently
Jahn reluctantly agreed.
The results were so potentially awe-inspiring that Jahn founded the
Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Lab in 1979. This lab
is now considered to be the country's leading scientific PK research
http://www.mindtech.com.vu/Anomalies.html

centre.
Jahn and his associate, clinical psychologist Brenda Dunne, used a
machine called a Random Number Generator . This is the electronic
equivalent of a mechanical heads/tails coin flipping machine.If you flip a
coin 1000 times into the air you will get approximately 500 heads and 500
tails. This is the average expected result which always seems to manifest
itself consistently.
Volunteers were seated in front of the device and asked to focus on either
a run of heads or tails. Over the course of more than 100,000 trials it was
found that the volunteers had a significant effect on the results. And some
particular volunteers produced astounding results! They concluded that
everyone has PK abilities, with some individuals posessing a higher
degree of PK ability than the average. In fact some of the better
operators produced a distinctive "signature" which identified their work
as consistently distinctive from others.
This random number generator was called a "micro-PK" device and Jahn
decided to construct a "macro-PK" device to see if PK was noticable with
solid objects.
He built a machine called a cascade generator which contained 9000 small
ping-pong type balls to free-fall from an opening and cascade down a wall,
during which they had to travel via 330 nylon pegs set into the wall. The
device looked like a large wooden frame ten feet high and 6 feet wide with
a glass front. There were 19 collection bins set side-by-side at the bottom
and the balls eventually ended up in these. Under normal circumstances
the balls would collect in a mountain shaped pile at the bottom with the top
of the "mountain shape" right under the funnel opening at the top of the
device.
However over a substantial number of runs the PK volunteers were able
to deflect the positioning of the balls and affect the "shape" of the
mountain. Once again certain individuals achieved quite outstanding
results.
As a result of all this the management of Princeton became quite nervous
at being involved with something that looked suspiciously like
"paranormal" investigations, but the dust eventually settled and Jahn and
Dunnes work is now generally accepted. (This was also shown on an
Australian SBS Connections programme.)
Jahn and Dunne think that as most physical processes possess a waveparticle duality then it might be reasonable to assume that consciousness
does also. In its "particle" form consciousness would be localised in our
heads, but in its wavelike form could well propagate externally like any
other waveform. This waveform would then interact with the subatomic
particles of matter to produce a result which has been pre-modulated onto
the waveform by the desire of the human mind concerned.
In view of Dr. Jahn's standing in the aerospace community it is somewhat
surprising that he should devote so much of his expertise time to PK
activity and even went as far as to state "My sense of importance of this

PRIMARY PERCEPTION
Cleve Backster's astounding mind/plant communication discovery!
In 1966 something happened that shook the scientific world to it's very
foundations ........... and it was discovered, not in a famous laboratory, but
in a small room in an office building in New York !!
In 1966 a very strange event occurred. Cleve Backster, America's top
polygraph (lie detector) expert was working late in his New York office.
His secretary had installed a Dragon pot plant to brighten the office.
Backster noticed that the plant needed water, and on impulse attached the
leads of a lie detector to one of the leaves. The lie detector measures
skin resistance and Backster knew that it would indicate when water
reached the actual leaf. He poured water over the root system and waited
to see how long before this moisture reached the leaves. Nothing
happened. In fact after a while the instrument appeared to indicate less
moisture in the leaf. The pen-tracing equipment attached to the lie
detector was trending downwards with a fair amount of "saw tooth"
motion.
Backster was puzzled as this was exactly the same response expected
from a human being experiencing an emotional stimulus of short duration.
He wondered if the plant could be displaying emotion.
Backster knew from long experience that the best way to make a
polygraph needle "jump" was to threaten the subjects well-being so he
dunked the plant leaf in his hot coffee. There was no reaction. He thought
about this for a couple of minutes then conceived a worse threat. (He used
to work for the CIA). He would light a match and burn the leaf. The
instant he conceived this thought something dramatic happened something that has had far reaching scientific implications all over the
world.........
.......THE POLYGRAPH REACTED VIOLENTLY!!
The pen-traced graph moved off its centreline into a pronounced upward
curve.
Backster was staggered. He was some distance from the plant and he
wondered if it could possibly have been reading his thoughts.
As later events will prove ..... IT WAS!!!
This was the start of an incredible reaction from the scientific community.
And the interesting fact is that thousands of people have been able to
duplicate this experiment. All you need is a "Wheatstone Bridge" circuit
and a sensitive multimeter which any competent electronics enthusiast can
easily assemble. With this simple equipment you can carry out your own
experiments.

(Technical details are as follows: the leaf is wired in as one leg of the
"bridge". The meter is wired across the bridge to detect voltage
fluctuations. Some form of self-balancing bridge is best. If you want to get
really technical you can use phase-locked chips and an alternating current
input. This is far more sensitive than a DC bridge and has been used to
build a "mind-powered" switch to open a garage door using a plant as the
receiving medium).
Backster initially wondered if his equipment was faulty but thorough tests
over the following weeks eliminated this as a coincidental effect.
Backster discovered a further vital fact. When he only "pretended" to
burn the leaf there was no reaction. In other words the emotion and intent
had to be genuine.
Backster advised associates around the country as to what he had
discovered and they were able to replicate his results which proved that it
was not a "one off" effect between Backster and his plant and quelled the
sceptics who claimed he had faulty equipment.
That was the start of an amazing series of experiments on different types
of plants, fruits and vegetables such as bananas, oranges and onions.
Backster named this strange new effect - PRIMARY PERCEPTION.
At this point Backster realized he was on to something with enormous
potential so he converted his offices into a full scale scientific laboratory.
Over the following months all sorts of plant matter was tested. In one
instance a plant leaf was totally shredded but when reattached to the
electrodes it still exhibited the same response.
It was discovered accidently that the plants also reacted to unexpected
stimuli such as the sudden appearance of a dog in the room or a person
who did not like plants.
It was also found that the plants reacted to the attempts of a spider
attempting to escape from the close proximity of humans which it
perceived as a threat. The plant reacted JUST BEFORE the spider made
any movement - that is, it picked up the spiders intentions.
Backster concluded that while plants may be in "tune" with each other
they are more in tune with animal life which is mobile and may present a
threat.
Another interesting observation was that when a plant was seriously
threatened it tended to "pass out" from "emotional" overload. The plant
appears to go into a "deep faint" for a while and then recovers. Backster
discovered this while he was demonstrating his effect to a group of visiting
scientists. The plants simply would not respond on this occasion and it was
discovered that one of the scientists in the group roasted plants in an oven
to get their dry weight for experiments.
Forty five minutes after this person left the building the plants came back
to normal. This "fainting" effect has been replicated on many occasions.

Tests were carried out with the plant in a Faraday cage and a lead
container. Both block out radio waves. The communication still went thru
unchecked. Backster concluded that this primary perception was outside
the usual electromagnetic spectrum.
On one occasion Backster cut his finger and as he applied iodine to the
wound the polygraph attached to his plant reacted. It also reacted when
somebody poured boiling water down the sink. After months of tests it was
concluded that the plants were sensitive to the destruction of living cells
and the bacteria in the sink plug-hole. This lead to lengthy experiments on
single cells and simple cell structures including scrapings from a human
mouth. When these scrapings were centrifuged and attached via fine gold
electrodes to a polygraph it was found that they reacted to the emotions of
their human donor - even when he was miles away! That is, human cells
react in the same way that plants do!!!
This was quite an astounding finding because it explained for the first time
how a persons emotions and thoughts might affect the individual body
cells - and hence the functions and health of that body! In fact there is
some doubt as to whether our body cells are individually controlled from
the brain by electro-chemical impulses - it is considered a possibility that
the cells receive "operating instructions" via this "primary perception" in
a manner not yet understood. Which might explain why people who
"know" that they don't catch colds .....don't! And people who "know" that
they are always sick..... are!
In a well thought out scientific experiment, designed to quell the sceptics,
Backster and his staff designed an automated device that dumped live,
healthy Brine Shrimp into boiling water. At the instant the shrimp died in
this boiling water, the three monitored plants reacted. The Brine were
dumped automatically at random intervals so there was no human
interference with the process. Light and temperature conditions were
strictly controlled and a fourth polygraph (with a fixed value resistor in
place of a plant leaf) was used as a control, to indicate possible
fluctuations in power supplies or electromagnetic fields.
Backster's 1968 report in the International Journal of Parapsychology
drew more than 7000 queries from scientists around the world, wanting
more information. Most of the news media ignored Backster's work until
the February 1969 edition of National Wildlife featured a story about this
strange new effect.
This attracted worldwide attention and everywhere housewives started
talking to their plants!
Another event led Backster onto a different path. One evening he was
about to feed a raw egg to his dog. He cracked the egg in preparation and
as he did this noticed that one of his plant/polygraph mechanisms reacted
quite violently. He decided to attach a store-bought raw egg to his
equipment and his chart recorder indicated that it was pulsing with the

Sort of makes you wonder where all this knowledge has been hidden,
doesn't it?
And when the US Congress takes an interest in it and the scientists at
such institutions as Princeton University spend a fair portion of their
working lives and funds on the subject, you get the feeling that remote
Viewing is not going to go away, merely because the skeptics say it can't
work!
The strange thing about RVing and OBEing is that your mind always gets
the target required, even if it is presented to you only as a set of map coordinates. It is almost like a highly efficient universal telephone
exchange. You mentally "dial the number" and get connected.
I can see enormous advantages for the serious business person in this
field in the same manner that computer technology has changed the way a
lot of businesses work. Twenty years from now RVing might wll become
part of standard busines practice.
Even if this field seems "too far out" for you ......please ....keep an open
mind. Look where computer technology has gone in the past 20 years. If
you'd told me in 1975 that I'd have my business based around 3 computers
in 1995 I probably would have laughed at you. I seriously expect to have
"full on" Remote Viewing involved in my business within 2 years!!! (It's
getting that way now).
The one thing that is concerning the professional RVers is the ethical
code of the whole situation. As more and more people get involved there
will be those whose moral "line on the ground" is in a different position to
yours. There is no effective way to guard against this at the moment
except to become familiar with the process so that you are always one
step ahead.
If you decide to get serious about practicing RVing there is another
simple method which requires the one-time help of an associate. Ask him
or her to select a small item at random and place it in a box. Then have
them place this box on a shelf somewhere in a location and building known
only to them. Relax into alpha and attempt to visualize firstly what is in
the box and secondly where it is hidden. Successful RVing should tell you
what is in the box. Successful OBEing should tell you the location of the
box. Depending on yourself, RVing might give you both answers. If you
don't succeed on the first few tries keep at it ....... eventually you will
score a correct answer. When you do, try and memorize how you felt
mentally at the moment of inspiration and try to recapture this feeling on
subsequent experiments. You might be startled to find that you get it right
the first time. After you have identified what is in the box and your
associate has confirmed that you were correct, physically view the object
yourself. This apparently is very important and has something to do with a
Quantum Physics effect whereby you precognitively remember handling
the object in the future.

stockmarket shifts.
In fact one of the better known RV groups actually financed their start-up
operation with RV wins on the silver commodities market and horse races.
One of our INNER CIRCLE members has reported achieving top results
in horse racing by using alpha/RV techniques. He has succesfully
"visualised" the first 3 letters of the names of winning horses .......in
advance!
It is now considered by the scientific community that Remote Viewing is a
normal capability of mankind but has fallen into disuse compared to how
it may have been used in earlier historic times. In actual fact RVing has
been likened to controlled day-dreaming, which is really what it is.
When you daydream you change your current reality and project your
mind into an alternative situation. There is no pain involved and most
people find it quite pleasant...... but sometimes an embarassing waste of
time.
Another method used for RVing these days is to use pictures cut out of
magazines, such as National Geographic. This saves the cost and
complexity of sending "out-bounder" teams off into the field.
This process works as follows:
The magazine pictures are individually sealed into double-wrapped
envelopes and given individual numbers. If you have someone cut out six
pictures and seal them in envelopes (without you seeing what they are)
then you can simply number the outside of the envelopes from 1 to 6. A
dice is then rolled to select an envelope.
You focus on the contents of this envelope and try to determine what is in
the picture. Note down (or tape) every small detail that comes to mind,
When you are finished, open the envelope and compare results. This
process is a lot quicker than using out-bounder teams and means that you
can practice at home. Don't be discouraged if the results are slow to
come......... you haven't used your right-brain intentionally for years so you
can't expect miracles overnight. But likewise, don't be surprised if you get
rapid results ..... based on the "novice effect".
Achieving an OBE experience is a totally different thing. It involves
relaxing (preferably lying down) and trying to project your mind to a
different place. At first you try to "project" your mind away from your
body so that you can "see" yourself lying on the bed. When you
eventually bring your consciousness back into your body you may notice a
violent "jerk". I don't know why this is but it unsettles me. I think I prefer
Remote Viewing!
