nquiry into the
nature of inter-
val relation-
ships usually
leads us on a
r.;rr direct path
through the
western dia-
tonic or twelve-
tone chro-
matic foundations of familiarity. Although
this discussion will turn to our perceptions
ofthemore common interval relationships
through time, we have a need to under-
stand that these particular intervals are a
product of artistic invention and not natu-
rally occurring formations of scales and
harmonic tissue. Music cannot, and does
not rest solely upon unalterable natural
laws.
In addressing the melodies of song
we find that their alterations of pitch take
place by intervals and not by the continu-
ous transition of notes in a scale. "The
musical scale is as it were the divided rod,
by which we measure progression in pitch,
as rhythm measures progression in time.''
1
Now ifwe observe the progression ofthe
interval through musical bistocy; we will
almost always fmd the intervals of the
octave, flfth, and the fourth in all musical
scales. It has been said that the origin of all
scales can be explained by the assumption
that all melodies arise from thinking of a
harmony to them, and that scales arose
from breaking down the fundamental
chords of a particular key. But scales ex-
isted long before the experience of har-
mony and ancient composers had no feeling
for harmonic accompaniment, as non-harmonic
scales are far more numerous than harmonic
scales. (see table on pg. 2)
THE TONIC SOL-FAISTS
There really exists only one harmonic
scale; one that contains notes with pitch num-
bers composed of products and multiples of
the-powers of2,3,5, 7,17 ,etc., etc., etc., but the
term 'harmonic' has been extended to include
all tempered imitations of scales and these are
not truly harmonic. As for the many and varied
systems oftuning, it can be stated that there is
more disturbance in listening to very falsely
tuned thirds amidst correctly tuned intervals,
than to hear intervals which are all equally out
of tune and are not contrasted with others in
just intonation. This, and the fact that the high
development of contrapuntal music could not
have been achieved without the advent of
tempered intonation are its only advantages.
But, in just or natural intonation, we can really
only say that it is natural for uncorrupted ears;
ears that have not become accustomed totem-
pered intonation. There is quite a complicated
calculation of intervals necessary for the
completion of the natural scale. The just scale
also increases the manual difficulty of perfor-
mance on instruments with ftxed tones, such
as the pianoforte, but not so for the singer or
the musician who plays on unfretted instru-
ments such as the violin. The natural system is
really only complicated to the theoretician
whereas musicians may fmd it an instinctive
process provided they allow themselves to be
guided by their ear. A fine example is the
Society of the Tonic Sol-faists. This is a,group
of people in England dedicated to singing in
natural intonation. The Tonic Sol-faists repre-
sent the tones of the major scale by using the
solfeggio, or the Tonic Sol Fa system of nota-
tion in which the syllables doh, ray, me, fall.
soh, lab, te, with certain modifications, are
used in placeofnotes, staff, clefs and ordinary
characters of musical notation. When the tonic
changes in modulation, the new tonic is called
Doh and is pointed out in the notation. The
advantage of this system is that it allows the
singer to relate each the tonic whereas
ordinary notation gives nothing directly but
absolute pitch in tempered intonation. " I
think that many of our best musical perfor-
mances owe their beauty to an unconscious
introduction of the natural system, and that we
should oftener enjoy their charms if that sys-
tem were taught pedagogically, and made the
foundation of all instruction of music, in place
of the tempered intonation which
endeavours to prevent the human voice
and bowed instruments from developing
their full harmoniousness, for the sake of
not interfering with the convenience of
performers on the pianoforte and the or-

INTONATION AND THE HISTORY
OF MUSICAL PITCH
The intentions thus far have shewn
that there are still many avenues of ex-
perimentation left to the invmtive musi-
cian. As for the composc:n of the Renais-
sance and Baroque periods, it may be
restated that they were -the discoverers
and architects of the contrapuntal
songform and even through their many
and varied applications of counterpoint,
they still upheld melody above harmonic
structure. But, it would appear that with
the introduction of equal temperament
and the predominance ofthepianoforte in
composition and instruction, there was .
but this brief period of exploration into
the dimensional possibilities of music
only to be woefully overthrown by the
newly enthronedharmaniacal geniuses of
modern technical and social conformity.
It may be likened to the discovery of alternat-
ing current where once the electrical sciences
figured out how to use the energy, they stopped
investigating the natural properties of electric-
ity itself.
Upon returning to interval relationships,
we need to examine the early theorists meth-
ods of determining the interval's virtues. It is
fairly obvious that singing was the first music,
later to be accompanied by drums and instru-
mentation, but it would seem that strintp (a
very late form of musical ins1l'Ument) are
where most experimentation has taken place.

In determining intervals from string lengths
one comes across many variables which are
not generally considered. On any stringed
. instrument the string has to rise further and
further from the fingerboard as the string
proceeds ftom the nut to f:lle bridge. The pres-
BweC?fe8ted by the fmgerin stopping the string
either on the fingerboard or the fret increases
the tension of the string making the note
sharper than it would be if it could be stopped
at its natural height This could only be achieved
in all practicality by the use of a slide such as
used in slide guitar, but even then the results
cannot be considered accurate. So, the law that
the number of vibrations is inversely propor-
tional to the length of the string can be at best
an approximation. Moreover, the margin of
error is wholly dependent on the composi-
tional structure of the string; diameter, tem-
perature, and material ingredients ofthe string
being most important. Therefore, the old inter-
vals are not so accurately tuned.
Musical pitch (tuning pitch) has under-
gonecontinualchangethroughouthistory. Tun-
iJigpitch or the tuning note is here classified as
the 'A' of the violin from which the pitch
number of all other notes in the scale must be
calculated from the temperament and method
of tuning in use. Now, the pitch of musical
instruments has always varied greatly and
'' since the ancients were not accustomed to
play in concert with all kinds of instruments at
the same time, wind instruments were very
differently made and intoned by instrmnent
makers, some high and some low.' '
3
It is well
known that for higher instruments such as the
mandolin, trumpet, violin, etc., the higher one
tunes, ''the more freshly it sotmds and re-
so\Dlds. "
3
For the deeper instruments, the
lower they are tuned, " ... the more majestic
and magnificent is their stately march.' '
3
The
general rise in standard t\Dling pitch began at
the Congress of Vienna in 1814, when the
Emperor of Russia bestowed upon his Aus-
trian regimental band new and sharper instru-
ments. This band became noted for the bril-
liancy of its music, and gradually tuning pitch
at Vienna rose ftom A' 421.6 cycles per sec-
ond(Mozart'spitch), to A' 456.1 cps or nearly
three quarters of a tone. As far as recorded
history is concerned, standard pitch has under-
gone-changes ftom Delezenne's A' 373.1 cps
(1640?) to Steinway's orchestral pitch of A'
460.8 cps (1880) and seems to have stabilized
at around A' 440 cps today.
CBARACI'ER OF MUSICAL KEYS
It is now apparent that there are many
modifications of interval relationships, into-
nations and standards of pitch pertaining to the
art musical. These anomalies do have a re-
markable influence on whether or not each
particular key in music possesses its own
individual character. One must understand,
however, that only specific instrmnents will
allow for the distinction between keys. If we
were to choose an instrument of fixed tones
. with uniform tuning, and magnitude (such as
the synthesizer and other electronic instru-
ments usually of the keyboard type) one could
not distinguish between the absolute character
ofkeys. On the other hand, there is a decidedly
contrasting character in the disparate keys on
stringed instruments which the following ex-
periment may reveal. If we take two different
instruments, tuning one in such a fashion that
itsD flat is the same as theCmajor of the other,
we will notice that on both instruments the C
major retains its brighter and bolder character
while the D flat remains soft and veiled. This
is of course due greatly to the differences in the
quality oftone of strings which being stopped
at different places on the fmgerboard will no
doubt alter the intonation in comparison to the
open string's perfect intervals of tuning .. Dif-
ferences of character on wind instruments caiJ
be even more striking.
SUMMARY OF THE ABOVE FINDINGS
In review of the above material, we caiJ
see that all intervals suggested are mere inter-
pretations of approximations due to_ intona-
tional differences, pitch differences, etc., and
no two can really be alike. When we speak oJ
the interval ofthe ourt:h, fifth and soon, weare
really speaking of the ideas that these applied
titles represent. Our perception of intervals
rests solely upon how we divide the octave, be
it into twelve equal parts or one hundred
unequal parts as the octave is our only musical
boundary. The definition of intervals can only
be limited according to esthetic and artistic
creation. However, whether fortunate or un-
fortunate, our musical history demonstrates a

natural leaning toward a diatonic and twelve-
tone chromatic system which we as its creators
can not ignore.
THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF
INTERVALS
The real experience of the interval is most
appreciated by our thoughts, feelings and by
our spiritual being. Music can reflect such
sundry and diverse characters of motion as
''Graceful rapidity, quiet advance, grave pro-
cession, and wild leaping, ... and as music
expresses these motions, it gives an expres--
sion also to those mental conditions which
naturally evoke similar motions, whether of
the body and the voice, or of the thinking and
feeling principle itself.' '
1
As thoughts and
feelings march.. about, so do the melodic mo-
tions of tones, by imitation and expression.
We may deal with themultifold complexion of
motion in music at a later time but, for now, let
us deal with our awareness of consonant inter-
vals.

The true feeling for the octave has really
not yet been developed in humankind. As one
may perceive the differences that exist be-
tween intervals up to the seventh in relation to
the tonic, one cannot actually discriminate
between the octave and the tonic on a spiritual
level. We simply do not use the octave in the
same manner as the other intervals. Although,
we can certainly distinguish the difference
between the tonic and its octave by difference
of frequency, we have not yet acquired its
feeling, and this will be developed in time.
'' ... in the future the feeling for the octave will
be something completely different, and will
one day be able to deepen the musical experi-
ence tremendously, ... and will become a new
form of proving the existence of God' '
4
Returning to an earlier period in human
evolution, all musical experience (according
to Steiner) saw its flfSt development in the
Atlantean age with the experience of the sev-
enth (these concepts will start to make more
sense as the other intervals begin to unfold). If
we could go back to this age, we would fmd
that the music, having little resemblance to
today's music, was arranged according to con-
tinuing sevenths and all other intervals were
absent. This experience, which has become an
unpleasant effect as of the post-Atlantean era,
was based on the interval of the seventh through
the full spectrum of octaves and gave one the
feeling of transportation from our earthbound
existence. This feeling of the seventh eventu-
ally became somewhat offensive and was re-
placed by the feeling of the fifth as the human
being wished to incarnate more deeply into the
physical body.
Music that progresses in fifths is actually
still connected to the transported feeling ofthe
seventh by experiencing motion outside of
physical organisation. This becomes more
evident when we take the scales through the
range of seven octaves and realise that it is
possible for the fifth to manifest itself twelve
times within these seven scales. This, of coW"Se,
has always been considered a Pythagorean
invention for it has been stated (historically)
that he constructed the whole diatonic scale
from this series of fifths thusly;
FCGDAEB,
and calculated all intervals from the above
scale. The fact is, the Greek scale was actually
derived from the tetrachord, or divisions of the
fourth. If we proceed upwards from C by
fourths, we obtain:
C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb Fb Bbb Ebb
AbbDbb,
and if we continue downwards we get:
CGDAE.
The notes after Gb in the fttst series, are
actually:
BEADGC,
and are the same as those related to by
Abdul Kadir, a celebrated Persian theorist of
the fourteenth century. This system can be
seen throughout the whole Arabic and Persian
musical system which seems to have devel-
oped before the Arabian conquest, and
" ... shews an essential advance on the
Pythagorean system of fifths. "
1
(Note that the
Arabic lute is tuned in fourths.) All of this is
really only important for its historical signifi-
cance in reference to our interval experience.
In the earlier music of the fifths, the
human being felt lifted out ofthephysical. We
still fmd remnants of this in the pentatonic
scales of the Chinese and the Gaels. Many of
the ancient Chinese, as well as Scotch and Irish
tunes have neither a fourth nor a seventh in
them. As far as the these Celtic melodies are
concerned it maybe of some interest that early
bagpipes (upon which, most of this music was
composed) were constructed without these
two intervals. In most of their melodies, the
omissions in both major (the 4th and the 7th)
and minor (the 2nd.J8Bd 6th) scales are so
premeditated as to avoid the intervals of a
semitone, and are replaced by intervals of a
tone and a half (see below). This, of coW"Se,
gives the music a certain quality which may
indeed give one the feeling of being tran&-
ported to the 'Land of Fame'.
With our experience of the fourth, we
may reach out to the forgotten self in the
spiritual sensations of the fifth, and also return
inwardly to our inner being in the experience
of the third. Our common 1-4-5 progression
exhibits this border phenomenon ofthe fourth.
In the experience of the fourth, we may move
about between the spiritual and physical worlds.
The sixtb also expresses this border sensation
only on a higher level.
Nowwemaycometo the most significant
experience.in the interval of the third. Some-
thing new appears with the arrival of the
experienceofthethird. Nowwecanencounter
the feelings aroused by major and minor keys.
With the third we can color the musical entity
with mood, and this displays for us the inner
life of feeling. This is the predominant experi-
ence of the present age, or the age ofintrover-

sion. As the more inward element tends toward
the minor side, the more outward element
tends toward the major side. If we consider the
seventh's role in our present age, we see that
minor and major sevenths tend to rule compo-
sition in what is considered popular music.
This appears to be the channel of enslavement
most have come to accept, although it is not an
eterilal predicament
The perception of the interval of the
second establishes the intensification of our
inner life, and this is only a recent experience.
It is usually only encountered under the guise
of the ninth chord which brings us t9 an
interesting conjecture. In ancient traditions
our sevenfold nature is referred to quite often.
Spiritual experience ofthat age had developed
in part ftom the observation that the number of
planets in the sobp' system corresponded to the
seven scales and that the twelve signs of.the
zodiac equalled the twelve flftbs of the seven
scales. But, a disturbing revelation came with
the changeover from the ancient geocentric
system of seven planets to the modern hello-

centric system of nine,rendering the system of
imperfect. One may see the
blooming of our technological and materialis-
tic age from a galloping (or should we say
hobbling?) science of discovery taking shape
in some of the more recent musical trends as
well. Discovery without regard to spiritual
interpretation may not always be such a good
thing.
In conclusion, we can view the whole of
the experience of the intervals from Rudolf
Steiner's graphic depiction as seen above.
Since 3 and 4 overlap, as well as 6 and 7,
Steiner has cleverly arrived at the human
being's sevenfold nature through a ninefold
organisation.
'The facts of human evolution are expressed
in musical development more clearly than
anywhere else.'"'

SCIENTISTSSAY THEY
FOUND PLANET OUT-
SIDE SOLAR SYSTEM
British astronomers say
they have discovered thefust
planetevertorevolve around
another star. These scientists
- said that radio measurements
provide' 'indilectbutpersua-
sive evidence'' for a planet
10 to 12 times as large as the
earth to be orbiting a pulsar
some20to 30,000 lightyears
away near the constellation
Sagittarius.
Some astronomers are
not sure how a planet could
exist around a pulsar as they
do not see how it could have
survived the near destruction
of its parent star millions of
years before. They're appar-
ently basingtheirfindings on
thepeculiarcharacteristicsof

the pulsar is an extremely
precise clock, but the as-
tronomers found that at times
the PSR1829-10 (the
pulsar's handle) pulsed fast
or slow by up to one-hun-
dredth of a second.
The simplest explana-
tionthat these scientists have
come up with is thatthepul-
saris being alternately pulled
about 750 miles closer and
750 miles farther away by
an unseen companion.
David Black, director of
the Lunar and Planetary In-
stitute in Houston, said op-
erators of other radio tele-
scopes will immediately
check the British observa-
tions. Black says, "Every-
body wants to find a planet,
and this is the best candidate
yet .... We should get confir-
mation within a year.''

PLUTO
{IIlli bejJOil{f
Afi.,ol1
As Pluto orbits in its wide sweep the
remote reaches of-our solar system it encom-
passes all of the other panetary bodies within
its sphere. They are all touched with Pluto's
influence, the outermost, enigmatic wanderer.
Astronomers have little to say about Pluto,
so distant it is a thousand times fainter than its
nearest neighbour Neptune, so small its diam-
eter is estimated to be only 1400 miles, about
the size of Mars. The great distance of Pluto,
at its maximum orbit around 4,600,000,000
miles from the Sun, gives it a year equal to
approximately 250 Earth years. Thought to be
coated with a surface of methane ice Pluto is,
in comparison to our warm and sunny Earth, a
remote and shadowy glacial world, an infi-
nitely strange and lonely outpost receiving and
transmitting the solar and galactic forces.
Although the astronomer Percival Lowell
is generally credited with the calculations
leading to Pluto's discovery in 1930,itwas an
amateur astronomer at the Lowell Observa-
torynamed Clyde Tombaugh, who spotted the
tiny moving star-like object in a series of
photographs taken ofthe night sky. But the
true nature of Pluto only came to light in 1978
when James Christyofthe US Naval Observa-
tory discovered a large orbiting satellite, half
the size ofPluto itself and twenty times closer
to Pluto than our Moon is to Earth, which he
named Charon. Scientists speculate through
spectroscopic analysis that Charon, unlike
Pluto, is covered with a surface of water ice.
Together these mysterious twins are locked in
rotation, turning their faces forever towards
one another "like two dancers who spin one
another around an invisible center.''
As the only binary planet we know Pluto
is unique in our solar system, but its orbit is
also quite unusual being more markedly ellip-
tical than any of the other major planets. The
orbital planes of all the other planets lie within
7 of the plane of the Earth's orbit, called the
'plane of the ecliptic,' but the orbit of Pluto is
inclined 17 to that plane. In comparison, the
plane ofUranus is less than 1, the closest to
that of Earth ..
During its innermost orbit Pluto swings in
closer to the Sun than Neptune, a rare event
and one we are now witnessing as Pluto moved
into this position in 1978 (theyearofCharon's
discovery) and will remain there until 1999.

THE FACTOR
Since Pluto's discovery astrologers have
been greatly interested in defming the nature
ofits influence, both on an individual and on a
planetary level. Through studying countlesss
birth charts a picture of the Plutonian character
has emerged, but like the planet itself there is
an unfathomable qualityto the Plutonian forces.
''It seems there is always something hid-
den about Pluto,, astrologer Stephen Arroyo
writes, ''something subtle and difficult to con-
ceptualize in ordinary logical terms ... Pluto
always symbolizes a form of extremely con-
centrated power. This power is so intensely
concentrated that the physical shape or size of
Plutonian phenomena (like the planet itself) is
irrelevant.. .although smaller than the Earth, its
''influence'' affects life on Earth in a propor-
tion far greater than its size would indicate.''
1
Described as a tremendous force for trans-
formation, Pluto represents processes that are
essentially unseen and unconscious; operating
at a level hidden deeply beneath the surface of
life. Although discovered and named so re-
cently, it is curious to see how closely Pluto's
nature is allied with the deity after whom it was
named. In magical traditions it is believed that
the power of a thing is contained in its name,
that to use the true name of something is to
invoke its power, which makes one wonder
how strongly the naming of a planet affects the
influence of that sphere on life and human
consciousness. If the planets had been given
-different names, would different forces have
been invoked, with correspondingly different
effects on Earth? Although this seems a far-
fetched idea, consider the fact that the gods
ruling the planets since Greaco-Roman times
have been a predominantly male hierarchy
witnessing, and also helping from their lofty
abode, the rise and entrenchment of power-
fully patriarchal religions across the world,
hostile to any expression of female spiritual
strength. Only two goddesses are admitted to
our planetary pantheon - Luna and Venus --
the others, on the whole, are named after
warring kings and jealous tyrants. Mercury
alone is ambivalent, the androgynous one. If
the planets had been named instead after god-
desses of ancient power, would-there have
been a corresponding elevation ofthe female
principles, a reverence towards the beauty and
life-giving power of Nature instead of the
destruction, fear and violence which charac-
terize our times?
In Greek mythology Pluto was the fierce
and inexorable god of the underworld, ruler of
the invisible universe, the 'nether' or 'other'
realm which lies beyond the world of the
living. According to this story Pluto seized the
goddess Persephone and carried her off to his
lower world to live for six months o( every
year, a myth closely connected with the growth
and fertility of com and the vegetation on
earth, as both Persephone and her mother
Demeter were ancient com-goddesses sym-
bolizing the mysteries of birth and death, the
cosmic rhythms of the seasons, of light and
darkness.
''Pluto can be said, in one sense at least, to
symbolize the seed falling into the humus
made of the dissolved and chemicalized re-
mains of the ending cr;::le of annual vegetation
(the product of a Neptunlan process of disso-
lution),, astrologer Dane Rhudyhar com-
ments.1
Buried deeply within the earth the struc-
ture of the seed is destroyed to give birth to a
new form of life. Its roots remain forever in
the dark spaces of the night but its sprouting
leaves are drawn upwards to the light and
warmth of the Sun. Likewise the physical
body at death decays and returns to the earth
but the soul, on entering Pluto's darkness, is
ferried by Charon the boatman across the river
Styx, and passes through the underworld into
the light of the spiritual Sun.
Being the regents of the lower world Pluto
and his queen Persephone also control all of
- the treasures found underground, especially
the metals whose source lies in the dark womb
oftheearth. Mined and extracted, smelted and
cast, Pluto s treasures brought into
the world and created our civilization. With-
out these gifts of Pluto therewould have been
no bronze or iron age, no industrial revolution,
no sophisticated technology as we know it.
But do we ever stop to wonder where the
we take for granted come from, of the
chain of events that brings iron, for example,
from one part of the world to be processed in
giant steel mills in another part, and passing
through further factories and countless hands
reaches the store where we exchange more
metal in the form of money for the final
product. If by some chance the source of our
metals vanished, if we could no longer obtain
anything made from metals, our way of life
would be totally transformed -- almost over-
night we would fmd ourselves returned to live
in a new stone age.
''THE TRANSFORMER''
From the mid-1980s to the mid-90s Pluto
is not only in its closest orbit to earth but is also
passing through Scorpio, the zodiacal sign it
rules, a time remarked upon by astrologers as
a period of crucial and revolutionary changes
both in human consciousness and in the struc-
ture of the planet itself.
In the power of the sacred substances
hidden underground which evolve and grow
according to their own laws, Pluto s dual
nature of transformation is expressed. "The
journal of Borderland Research Sept-Oct 1991, Page 5
ancient miners who .
brought metals up out
of the earth and treated
them in their furnaces
thought of the metals
as seeds planted in the
earth by gods,'' writes
Michael Jones.
2
But
while metals have been
used with reverence throughout history to
create tools and implements useful to human-
ity, objects of beauty, art and worship, these
precious substances have also served to place
fabulous wealth in the hands of a few select
cabals.
While individual artisans still honour the
beauty and soul nature of the metals with
which they work, the vast multinational corpo-
rations who now control most of the mining
operations throughout the world no longer
have any regard for the spiritual qualities of
the metals. For them these "condensations of
the stars" exist purely for personal profit and
power. It is not surprising then that Pluto is
found to be a strong influence in the birth
charts of bankers, powerful industrialists and
politicians, the corporate gangsters who are
mainly responsible for the stripping and poi-
soning ofNature, adept at the manipulation of
public opinion while keeping their own mo-
tives well hidden.
It's interesting to note in passing that
Pluto's discovery coincided with the first tele-
vision transmissions by Philo Farnsworth, an
invention that has transformed the world per-
haps more than any other during this century.
What a tremendous tool for education and
creative adventures it was frrst thought, until
the authorities also recognizing television's
revolutionary potential, took control and turned
it into a vehicle for propaganda and brainless
violence.
But while the Plutonian shadow masters
scheme and plot for ultimate global power,
other forces are stirring, elemental forces which
are far beyond even their control.
Deep in the earth beneath our feet Pluto's
passing is marked by iilcreasing seismic activ-
ity as tremendous chthonic powers build up in
the movement of vast tectonic plates to dis-
charge unpredictably in earthquakes and vol-
canic eruptions. Ancient prophecies warn of
catastrophic events to come, of earthquakes
tearing the land apart, submerging whole con-
tinents and pushing up new land from the
ocean floor. Ancestral memories of Atlantis
and Lemuria linger to haunt the imagination of
ancient upheavals that destroyed most of the
Earth's inhabitants and sent the survivors to
live in subterranean caverns. There is an
underlying tension and unease in the world of
Nature, an increasing apprehension ofthe dam-
age that humans have inflicted upon the planet.
Howmuchmore abuse can the organism of the
Earth tolerate before it begins to die?
As 'the transformer' Pluto destroys the
old, the outworn and outgrown to make way
forthenew, breaking through any blockages to
evolutionary growth and demanding change
when its tremendous creative potential is re-
sisted. Its influence is seen in the sign Scorpio,
in the hidden processes of sex, death and
regeneration,theunseenmysteriesintheworld
of nature and spirit, described in the I Ching as
"the mysterious place where all things begin
and end, where death and birth pass one into
the other.''
On a personal level Pluto compels us to
confront our deepest and fears, the
atavistic forces and memories of the past that
are a deep and driving influence behind our
actions; the fear of death and what lies beyond.
Death is the forbidden subject for westerners,
even more so than sex. It is dangerous and
irrational and may force us .to look into the
unknown from which we came, and into which
we will all return.
While tlie ancient traditions taught a thor-
ough knowledge of the death.process and the
future life of the soul as shown, for example,
in the Tibetan Book of the Dead and the
Egyptian Book of the Coming Forth By Day,
such knowledge is abysmally lacking in mod-
em religion. When someone dies the vultures
gather, to claim the body for the sanitized
mortuary, and the soul for heaven or hell.
While the Egyptians provided a system to
guide the souls of the dead through the laby-
rinth of the underworld, there is no way out of
the christian hell. But with a knowledge ofthe
actual process of death, through all the stages
of dissolution and detachment from the mate-
rial, etheric, astral and other more subtle bod-
ies, the soul is consciously aware of its own
transition into the spirit world. With knowl-
edge the fear of death dissolves, and it be-
comes easy to understand why our ancestors
celebrated birth and death equally with joy.
With Pluto's passage the taboos of the old
order which have served to bind the soul into
a rigid: and artifical morality and dependence
on external authorities are breaking down, and
in the deeply ingrained taboos surrounding sex
and death are found potent keys to the occult
knowledge and power which lies beyond or-
thodoxy, a knowledge which is based .not on
dogma and superstition, but on a direct percep-
tion and understanding of Nature's cycles.
ANCIENT OF ANCIENTS
On the Qabalistic Tree of Life Pluto is
attibuted to the frrst cosmic sphere called
Kether, the Crown, and "the Hidden Intelli-
gence,'' but rather than a sphere Kether repre-
Page 6, Sept-Oct 1991 Journal of Borderland Research
sents the ultimate pointofpowerwhich emerges
from the primal chaos. Described as ''the
intensest form of existence, pure being unlim-
ited by form or reaction ... underlying, main-
taining, and conditioning all, Kether is also
''the abyss whence all arose, and back into
which it will fall at the end ofits epoch."
3
''Pluto represents the outermost power-
zone, the pylon set at the utmost rim of the
planetary system beyond which stretch the
vasts of Outer Space," occultist Kenneth Grant
writes. to the microcosm (the
world of human consciousness) Pluto repre-
sents the pylon at the gates ofthe sanctuary of
Inner Space. Kether, the Crown of the System
in the Outer and in the Inner, is thus equivalent
to the Height (and Depth) of physical and
psychological space ... .lt is the ultimate gate to
both Outer and Inner Space.''
As the most intensely concentrated point
of cosmic power, Pluto signifies the hindu or
seed of creativity from which all form evolves,
from the simplest geometric form to the most
complex organic systems. Here is the source
of primordial cosmic energy, identical to the
orgone energy of Dr Wilhelm Reich which he
isolated and scientifically verified, the basis of
all the natural fields of force in the world and
the vehicle of the life-force in the human
organism. It is this raw psycho-sexual energy
which is taken and transformed by way of an
inner alchemy into magical and spiritual power.
Artist and occultist Michael Bertiaux de-
scribes this potency of Pluto as -''the funda-
mental magickal energy at the root of sexual
radioactivity,"
5
the energy which fuels the
traveler of inner space and the gnostic explorer
who seeks illumination in the hidden myster-
ies. Symbolized by the black dragon in its
dormant state, this serpent power is aroused
from its sleep atthe base of the spine and raised
through the subtle energy body to its height in
the Crown centre, the Thousand Petalled Lotus
above the head to bring "a knowledge of the
divine beyond any human concepts.''
But always manifesting in opposites there
is a shadow side to Pluto, a dark and chaotic
realm of primordial power evoked from the
depths of the unconscious insuch grimoires as
theNecronomicon given life by H.P. Lovecraft
who calls Pluto by the secret name ofYuggoth,
ruler of qliphothic and alien nether worlds
haunting the void between the stars, a brood-
ing ancient intelligence ever seeking entrance
to the human world.
THE "DARK SEED"
There is no metal which traditionally cor-
responds to Pluto as the Sun does to gold, or
silver to the Moon. Although a kinship was
shown between the Uranian energies, electric-
ity and radioactivity, and Neptune evoked the
invisible ocean of etheric forces which under-
lies the material world, with Pluto we are
dealing with the source of all the various
energy fields, with the immeasurable qualities
of the soul, with evolution, with creation and
annihilation.
But if we were to take a substance to
symbolize the intensely concentrated Plutonian
power in its most negative and destructive
aspect, we could choose the heaviest element
known on Earth which shares its name -
plutonium. The discovery of nuclear fission in
the 1930s coincided with Pluto's discovery,
and some 12 years later the silvery metal
plutonium was isolated for the first time (it
was also the frrstcreation of a synthetic chemi-
cal element) marking our entrance into the
atomic age and the beginning of a potent
transformation oflifeuponthis planet. Scien-
tists had discovered how the structure -of an
element could be destroyed and, more impor-
tantly, the enormous amount of energy re-
leased in the process.
Plutonium is not a metal found naturally
on earth, except in extremely minute quanti-
ties, rather it is a man-made, artificial element
created by the neutron bombardment of ura-
nium; the uranium frrst forms neptunium which
is then transformed into plutonium.

238{) + n -----;> 239U _____;,., 239Np -----;> 239Pu
23.5 min 2.33 days
Because it is so extremely toxic, pluto-
nium requires special handling. All work is
carried out inside 'glove' boxes filled with
helium or argon to prevent the plutonium and
its alloys from being attacked by moisture and
atmospheric gases, and to prevent the workers
from ingesting or breathing even the smallest
quantity.
Used in nuclear power reactors through-
out the world plutonium is a lethal but concen-
trated fuel where one lb of the substance is said
to be equal to 1 0 million kilowatts of electric-
ity. It is also used to power the fantastically
expensive space exploration into the outer
regions of the solar system, such as the Voy-
ager expedition, and on the Apollo lunar mis-
sion to power seismic and other experimental
instruments placed on the Moon's surface.
But the frrst nuclear reactors were for the
military to produce plutonium as an explosive
ingredient in nuclear weapons-- it is produced
primarily to kill. Atomic scientists and the
governments that fund them have discovered
Pluto's power to destroy substance and life,
but they are powerless to control the conse-
quences.
The greatest danger of plutonium is not
only as an explosive but also in its storage and
the disposal of its waste. In his book Atomic
Suicide Dr Walter Russell describes pluto-
nium as the most deadly of all the radioactive
metals. ''Its great importance as a killer, lies
in the fact that it loses only half of its radioac-
tivity in 23,000 years. Its primal effect upon
the human body is in its direct attack upon the
bone marrow where human blood corpuscles
are formed. Together with strontium, these
super calciums could cause more defective
skeletal births and agonizing deaths than any
plague heretofore known to have hurt man-
kind.''6
Radioactivity also attacks the human re-
productive cells; the hidden processes of sex
and procreation ruled by the zodiacal sign of
Scorpio, the fusing of sperm and egg in the
body at are the very areas most
Charon casts its shadow over Pluto in
this graphic representation
vulnerable to damage. According to a state-
ment from the National Academy of Sciences: -
''Any radiation which reaches the repro-
ductive cells causes mutations that are passed
on to succeeding generations. There is no
minimum amount of radiation which must be
exceeded before mutations occur. Any amount,
however small, that reaches the reproductive
cells can cause a correspondingly small num-
ber of mutations. The more radiations, the
more mutations. The harm is cumulative. The
genetic damage done by radiation builds up as
the radiation is received, and depends on the
total accumulated gonad dose received by
people from their own conception to the con-
ception of their last child.''
6
The danger is not only to human reproduc-
tion but to all species, as the matrix of the seed
pattern itself is altered, gradually making re-
generation impossible and causing widespread
sterility in every form of animal and vegetable
life. There is little protection from radioactiv-
ity, the silent and invisible killer ... "The idea
of constructing shields of any material at all
for protection against uranium and plutonium
is only a temporary expedient.'' Russell warns.
''The time will come when the shields will be
as dangerous as the cause. The time element
may be long, but when that time comes, the
greatest migration history has ever known will
take place, and its road will be paved with
millions of dead, largely from leukemia which
will rapidly increase until it becomes a
scourge.''
6
This is the fear of the nuclear shadow
under which we live; t.bat-life on earth will be
destroyed and the world turned into a barren
wasteland.
OCCULT PLUTO
'Nuclear power is a frightening symbol
of death and decay. It sums up the horror of
our times. '' Michael Jones
There exist two forms of motion in Na-
ture, one that builds up and creates, and the
other that breaks down and destroys depend-
ing on whether the driving force is centripetal
(moving towards the centre) or centrifugal
(moving towards the outside). In Nature there
is a continuous interplay between these two
opposing_ forces but modem technology, par-
ticularly nuclear technology, concentrates on
the destructive force of explosion.
Apart from the devastating physical de-
struction caused by nuclear explosions there is
a more subtle and insidious damage inflicted
on the invisible etheric web which underlies
and sustains the material world. While based
in the desert during his rain making experi-
ments Dr Wilhelm Reich commented on the
state of the atmosphere after atomic tests,
producing what he called DOR or
Orgone Radiation that ftlled the desert, seem-
ing to suck the life-force from the atmosphere,
the earth and all living beings.
The research of some contemporary oc-
cultists has also focussed on the repercussions
of nuclear technology on the subtle energy
body, the aura of the Earth and the human
being.
''Our world is surrounded by a thin atmo-
spheric skin which protects and sustains the
balance oflife on Earth, but when a breach is
made in this protective ionized envelope the
delicate balance is destroyed Nuclear explo-
sions release tremendous pulses of electrical
energy from the spaces between the nuclear
particles, and as the very fabric of matter is
tom asunder these forces rend holes in the
protective ionized barrier of our atmosphere ...
Through this breach internal forces can escape
or external forces seeking entry can pour
through.''

"Pluto opens the gateway of Chaos,"
Grant writes, "the way of reversal to the
'nightside' of the Tree of Life'' He goes on to
Journal of Borderland Research Sept-Oct 1991, Page 7

. '
say: "These forces which have been gaining
momentmn through successive aeons, are pour-
ing astrally from the averse side of the Tree
and are threatening to overwhelm human con-
sciousness with the waves of negative vibra-
tion that underlie all positive (i.e. phenom-
enal) existence. It is not therefore surprising
that sensitive souls are now recoiling in horror
because they have seen- in the swirling black
mirror of the abyss- the shades massing for an
unprecedented influx into the cosmos.''

In this bizarre Plutonian world where art
and magic join in their most extreme forms,
ancestral memories merge with visions of the
future to give fleeting glimpses of strange and
alien worlds, transmissions from trans-
Plutoniandimensions beyond any human point
of reference. Evoking the mythology of pri-
mordial powers, of the Ancient Ones who stir
restlessly in the depths of pre-human memory,
Bertiaux observes: ''Dagon will come again,
as will mighty sorceries ... for the mighty beasts
of the deep have been unleashed and they have
gone about their pathway of destruction, and
far worse is expected ... "
Alone the shaman in native traditions
descends into the underworld, into the vertigi-
nous qliphotic twmels of the soul to confront
the demons of darkness within, to overcome
these monstrous projections and discover the
knowledge and power within.
Today there is no need to seek the under-
world beyond. Through the forces unleashed
by nuclear technology the whole human race
has descended into Pluto's sub-atomic realm,
or rather the underworld has risen to meet us,
called up by a profane science which worships
death over life.
But it is not only in nuclear technology
that the death-wj.sh of our civilization lies,
although the domed reactor temples are the
ultimate symbol of humankind's insane race
towards destruction. We now live in an unreal,
artificial, backwards world, no longer fed and
nourished by Nature. Our rivers and lakes are
dying, polluted and stagnant, our forests and
wilderness are rapidly being destroyed. Our
agricultural land poisoned with chemicals and
pesticides grows poisoned food for our chil-
dren to eat, even the oceans have increasing
''dead zones'' where nothing lives any more.
Once sacrifices were made in return for the
precious metals and treasures given in trust to
humans by the subterranean gods and spirits.
Now they are repaid with underground nuclear
blasts which reverberate throughout the planet.
Surrounded by the death of Nature, we have
become the souls seeking passage through the
darkness of Amenta.
But returning to the myth of Pluto, and
even our existence will be a myth in some
future aeon, we remember Persephone who
was abducted to live in the realm of death but
who returned to the sunlit world for half the
year, to become the queen ofboth. In Pluto all
polarities, all extremes are mated; the destruc-
tion and creation, the pain and the healing, the
Dark Ages and the Ages of Illumination. The
influence of Pluto is shown in every birth
chart, and any aspects it makes with other
planets in the individual horoscope shows
where the deepest metamorphosis of conscious-
ness will take place.
As Stephen Arroyo writes: "In any house,
the Plutonian energy can be tapped to make
way for an impersonal -- yet controllable --
heightened consciousness and for the will
power to direct that awareness into creative
activities. As with Saturn, the negative aspect
of Pluto has been over-emphasized; for the
real power of Pluto only becomes negative if
we are seeking to interfere with its work.

WHAT LIES BEYOND PLUTO?
'' ... hear the mournful sigh of the vortex, the
mad rushing of the Ultimate Wind that Swirls
darldy amongst the silent stars. ''

The search for more distant planets con-
tinues. Scientists say that Uranus and Neptune
have peturbed orbits which cannot be caused
by"Pluto and Charon alone, theorizing another
giant planet'' X'' that is yet to be found. Some
have imagined a dark companion to the Sun (a
hypothetical dark star like the dwarf compan-
ion to Sirius) which they call Nemesis, while
Soviet astronomers have speculated, from the
orbits of groups of comets, that two other
planets might be present -- at 5 billion and 9
billion miles from the Sun, with orbits of
thousands of years.
They suggest that the orbits of these infi-
nitely distant planets periodically (over mil-
lions of years) disturbed comets, some of
which collided with the Earth. ''A large
planetary body moving in an orbit reaching to
the Oort cloud of comets, possibly in a highly
inclined orbit, would dislodge comets each
Page 8, Sept-Oct 1991 Journal of Borderland Research
time the planetary body passed through the
aphelion of its orbit,''
9
possibly accounting
for past cataclysmic events on our planet.
Astrologers have also speculated on the
existence of two further planets to complete
the zodiacal pattern of 12. In the diagram to
the left, Carl Payne Tobey shows how the
discovery of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto logi-
cally fits in with this pattern. In this he
assigns the creative energies of Pluto to the
fire-sign Aries, to co-rule Scorpio, but two
spaces yet be filled.
Zecharia Sitchin also attempts to prove
the existence of a 12th planet known to the
Sumerians by drawing on ancient
Mesopotamian texts, such as one tablet tran-
scribed as meaning ' ...all in all, 12 members
where the Moon and Sun belong, where the
planets orbit,'' and another Sumerian list of
24 celestial bodies that paired the twelve zo-
diacal constellations with twelve members of
the solar system. In occult lore, Grant names
this planet, describing Pluto as ''the gateway
to transplutonic rethyrs (dimensions), symbol-
ized by the planet Isis.''
While the Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft
trayel deeper into space never to return to
Earth, scientists wait in anticipation to fmd out
where the Solar System ends and interstellar
space begins, a boundary they refer to as the
heliopause. Perhaps they will never know.
Such a boundary might not even exist. There
are no arbitrary boundaries in inner space,
only an infmite unfolding of consciousness.

Referring to Fig. I the machine has 7 sec-
tions - an astable oscillator, a 7 stage binary
divider, a D-C level shifting section, a white
noise voltage source, a mixer/amplifier section
and a voltage controlled constant current source
(VCCS) output. Plus, this is all powered by a
dual polarity {+or-12V), regulated power sup-
ply. This is a very straight fotward circuit. The
CD4093 quad, nand, Schmidt trigger chip bas
one section used as a simple, wide range, astable
oscillator. The 4093 was chosen because it was
found to be an exceptionally stable oscillator
even when the other 3 sections were used as
oscillators at near and multiple frequencies. The
output of the 4093 is divided by 64, by the CD
4042 divider chip. This provides two advan-
tages: (I) The astable oscillator doesn't have to
operate at ultra low frequencies allowing the use
of smaller value components in that section and
(2) using a binary divider, the output is a
squarewave pulse whose duty cycle is 50-50%.
The precision of this duty cycle is limited only
by the stability of the timebase feeding it. This
feature helps to meet John Lilly's requirement
for nerve stimulation without injury. The output
of the 4024 then goes to the level shifter which
is one amplifier of the LF 353 dual operational

ing amplifier whose operating point is set by the

from the 4024 which swing from almost zero
volt to a value of nearly + 12 volts now emerge
from the amplifier with a swing to the same
value of ( +) and (-) polarities. This also helps

must have a fotward
current gain (bet) of at least 400. The noise
"diode", Ql' must be batch picked to supply
enough noise voltage (after amplification) to
where the noise voltage is approximately 114 to
113 of the total output waveform (ie, 114 to 113
thevoltageofthe squarewave ). After amplifica-
tion by Q
2
, the noise voltage is fed to the mixer
half of the LF 353 chip. The gain of the mixer/
amplifier is controlled by the variable resistor
Rl3 (25K) which functions as the current level
control for the output current. This pot. varies
the output voltage of the mixer amplifier which
drives the last stage, the voltage controlled con-
stant current source (VCCS).
Briefly, the VCCS (the 741 op-amp )works
on the basis that the input terminal to an opera-
tion amplifier tends to see a zero current because
the feedback circuit supplies an inversion of the
same amount of the current supplied the ampli-
fier input terminal by an external current source.
This feedback current remains constant (within
limits) despite any variations in the value of the
resistanceofthe feedback path. Thus, the amount
of current supplied by the 741 op-amp to the
feedback loop is directly controlled by the out-
put voltage of the LF 353 mixer/amplifier and
the variable resistor R 16 ( 4 7K). The current in
the 7 41 op-amp feedback loop can swing to each
polarity (+or-) so that acts as a bilateral (hi phasic)
voltage controlled constant current (VCCS).
Note that the load resistance (the brain/CNS) is
a floating load, not referenced to the circuit
ground. The 7 41 chip is the best one I've found
to date for this type of circuit (high impedance
load [Z]). The military versions of the 741 chip
work the best of all.
The CBS and power supply circuits are
constructed on ready made Radio Shack Circuit
boards which have been modified by foil cuts
and jumper wires. (While many electronic ex-
perimenters prefer to make a custom printed
circuit board for each and every project I've
found that I prefer the ready made boards.)
Planning jumper wires for the ready made is no
more time consuming the planning a custom
board and frequently the custom P .C. board is
"rescued" by jumper wires anyway. In using
the ready made board, the etching steps, (smelly
chemicals!) and the trouble of drilling hundreds
of little holes is avoided and the attendant phe-
nolic or epoxy and fiberglass dust (!) is also
avoided. Further, you end up with much better
foil patterns for I.C. sockets than with home-
made boards. This is why I use ready made
boards!) First, make the indicated foil cuts
("x ")in Fig.2 and then solderin the I. C. sockets
so as to be able to judge clearance for the jumper
wires. Hint: let the jumper wires be flexible so
they can be moved if they covera solder hole for
a component. Next, solderin thejumperwires.
Try to use different colors of wires for these say,
white wires for signal paths, red wires for the ( +)
polarities and blue forthe (-)polarities and, of
comse, blackforcircuitground, etc. (The jumper
wires will require some time and effort but, so
would the making of a custom P .C. board!)
Then, solder the components as shown by
Figs.3&4. Check yourworkcarefully at each of
the above stages.
The next step is to make the housing for the
project. I used the Radio Shack (#270-232)
project box as it is a good size for this circuit.
Everything is mounted on the aluminum cover
lid of the project box as this affords easy access
for servicing. The laydutfor mounting parts is
showninFig.S. The IOMEGpot.forfrequency
control is provided with a 4" dia. dial which is
made by gluing a middin' sized knob (your
choice!) on to a 4" circle cut out of heavy mat
board (mat board scraps can be had at any
picture framing shop). Clear R1V silicone
makes a good glue for this. Hint: First scn'be a
pencil circle the size of the knob for centering
during the gluing and cut a large enough hole in
the center of the dial so as to clear the mounting
nutofthe IOmegpot. Theuseofa4"dialaffords
a scale length of approx. 9" so that even With a
logarithmic compression of the higher frequen-
cies the 0 .5Hz to 12 Hz band is easily marked on
the dial dpring cafibration.
A cursor is made for the dial by a
112" long, deep scratch as shown (Fig.S) so that
approx. 3/8" of the scratch shows beyond the
edge of the dial. Paint a white square around the
scratch and when this dries, refurbish the scratch
and mark it with ink.
Also, cut a stiff paper circle for the current
level control. This should be 1/2" longer 1han
the current knob and have a center big enough
for the pot mounting nut. Before cutting this
hole, draw acirclethatclearsthecontrolknob by
about 1/16". Thislinewillhelpyoucalibratethe
current level control. Now glue this paper circle
aboutthepot. mountingholewithR1V silicone.
As is apparent, someof1hemounting screws
for the boards lie under the dial. Use
screws in chamfered boles so that the
screw heads are flush with the cover lid. Hint
You should use a few slightly, oversized wash-
ers and a nut on the backside of the lid for these
screws for orientation and ease of assembly.
Having drilled lhe necessary mounting holes in
theAL coveryou thenmounttheparts including
a rubber grommet for the A-C power cord to
pass through the lid. The P .C. boards are hung
on the underneath oftheAL coverbyscrewsand
insulating (non-conductive) spacers so that the
foil surfaces of the P .C. boards clear the fre-
quency and current level control pots by 3/16"
to 114". At this point solder twisted leads from
the CBS circuit to the control pots, the output
jack and the power leads between the CBS
circuit board and the power supply and from the
transformer to the power supply board, and 1he
leads to LED from the power supply. It is easiest
if these are taken off the AL cover, soldered and

put back again. Next, bring the leads to a 5' or
6' power cord through the grommet and put a
slip knot in thepowercord for strain relief. Then
solder up the A-C side of the circuit, the on/off
switch, the fuse, etc.
Now, using the appropriate anti-static pre-
cautions install the 4093 and 4024 chips into
their IC sockets taking care that they are not
reversed. Then install the LF 35 3 and 7 41 chips.
At this point you will want to make up the
dummy load - solder the 1 K resistor to one of
the non-ground lugs of an 118" stereo plug and
solder one 12" wire to the other end of the
resistor. Then, solder another 12" wire to the
othernon-groundlub. Thensoldera50Kpotto
the ends of the lead. You will need this to adjust
theVCCS.
Now, you are ready to adjust the circuit for .
operation: Plug the A-C power cord and switch
the power on with the AL cover and circuits on
a non-conductive surface. After being satisfied
that there is no undue beating of components
(Note that the Zener diodes and attendant
resistor(s) will run warm normally.), which
would signal a wiring mistake, set both the freq.
control and current level control to midrange.
Connect an oscilloscope to Pin (11) of the 4093
'astable to check for correct operation (rectilinear
pulses) and then, check to see if the 4024 divider
iswoddngcotreetly,Pin(4)(Squarewavepulses
-you might want to increase the frequency to
observe these.). Next, connect the 'scope to the
switch side (SW2) of capacitor (C2) and adjust
R3 (50K) until you see a maximum amount of
white noise appear on the 'scope trace AWl equal
amounts of noise voltage on each side of the 0
volt axis . . Use %3a (1K) to do this. It is
important to have a noise voltage of equal (av-
erage )polarities. Then, make sure SW2 isopep.
The next step is to set the level shift. The
'scope must have a C-D vertical amplifier to do
this. Connect the 'scope to Pin (1) of the LF 35 3
chip and adjust% 10 (1 OOK) until the squarewave
is symmetrical about the 'scope trace. Use R11
(5K) for fine adjustment. Then, the
'scopetoPin(7)oftheLF353toadjusttheoffset
. of the mixer/amplifier. Use R15 (10K) to do
this. Next tum the current level control to
maximumandseeifthesymmetrybolds. Ifnot,
adjustR1 5 further and then recheck the midrange
setting for symmetry. The next step is to adjust
the VCCS for maximum current output with
good regulation. Plug in the dummy load with
theSOKpotsettomid value and setR16 (47K)
to approx. 40K (guess!). Set the current level
control to about 2/3rds of maximum and con-
nectthe'scopetoPin(6)ofthe741 chip. Adjust
theoutputofthe 741 to asymmetrical squarewave
with the offset pot R18 (IOK). Disconnect the
'scope when this task is done and then connect
aDIGITALMUL TIMETER(DMM)acrossthe
1K resistor of the dummy load with the DMM
setto atleast2.000V A-C (Note: You can use the
D-C 'scope instead of the DMM here but, it will
pick-up some 60HzA-C "HUM.'). The volt-
age read across the 1 K resistor indicates the
current supplied through the dummy load
(E=IR). Next, tum the cUlTent level control to
maximum. Now, run the 50K pot in the dummy
load to maximum, then to zero; if the DMM
voltage remains constant then the VCCS is in the
range of supplying a constant CUlTent. If the
DMM voltage climbs to 2.0 volts or beyond
then the VCCS is receiving too much drive
(input) voltage and the value ofR16 ( 4 7K) will
have to be increased to reduce the input voltage.
Then sweep the 50K dummy load from maxi-
mum to minimum again and monitor the DMM
reading. Eventually you will find a point (ad-
justing R16) to where you find a maximum
DMM reading that varies by only a few milli-
volts when the 50K dummy pot varies from
maximum to minimum (and vice-versa). This is
the maximum regulated CUlTent your particular
741 chip will supply. With the "C, series of
741 s the maximum, regulated CUlTent should be
about 200uA (approx. 0.200V A-C on the
DMM). Some consumer electronics versions of
the 741 will be found to silpply about 100-
150uA at maximum. If you find yourself with
one of these you will have to decide whether to
live with this or find another 741 chip. Some
military versions of the 741 will supply as high
as 220-250uA of CUlTent. Whatever the value,
mark it on the cUlTent level dial and divide the
restofthedialproportionately(0-50uA-100uA-
150uA-200uA, etc.).
At this point you are ready to introduce the
white noise to the waveform. Disconnect the
DMM, set the dummy load pot to mid value, 'set
the current level control to mid range and
reconnect the 'scope to Pin (6) of the 741 chip.
Switch SW2 closed so as to supply white noise
voltage to the LF 353 mixer amplifier .. Check
the 'scope to see if equal amounts of noise
voltage appears ofthe (+)and(-) parts of the
squarewave form. If it doesn't, adjust pot. R3a
(1 K) until it does. Next, tum the CUlTent level
control to maximum. At this point, the noise
voltage should appear as subtractions to the
squarewave form. There should be equal
amounts of subtractions to the(+) and(-) parts
of the squarewave. If not make further slight
adjustments to pot. R3a. Then, check the bat- .
ance of the noise voltage at mid cUlTent levels.
Adjust until the noise signal is balanced at both
mid and high current levels. You may have to
re-adjust the 741 offsetvoltage,R18 (1 OK)todo
this -- this will require a light touch! Then
recheck as above.
At this point, you are ready to calibrate the
frequency dial. To do this, connect a frequency/
event counter across the 50K dummy load pot.
Set the pot tO a level to where the frequency
counter triggers reliably on the VCCS output.
Set SW2 to the_ open position the noise
Page I 0, Sept-Oct 1991 Journal of Borderland Research
voltage will trigger the counter randomly.
Now if you are lucky enough to own an
ultra-low frequency counter, one that works
below 1.0Hz, you are lucky. If you do not, then
the lowest frequencies, below 20Hz, will have to
be determined by the following method. Set the
frequency counter to operate as an event counter
and use a stopwatch and a calculator. ;you
enable the counter and count events forp_eriods
as long as 200 seconds. Dividing the number of
events by the number of seconds gives the
frequency (Hz). ark your results on the dial
lightly with a bard pencil and remark these later
with ink. If you 'vewired the freq. control pot up
correctly, and 0.5 to 5 .OHz band should take up
half the dial which is fine as the most interesting
CES frequencies for the convenient, earclip
electrodes lie in this band. I recommend the dial
be marked at 0.1 Hz intetvals to about 50Hz and
at 1OHz intetvals beyond that. You may dis-
coverthatatsomeplace beyond 80Hz the output
frequency will suddenly jump to a higher fre-
quency (100-120Hz) and stay there. This only
indicates that you've reached the residual resis-
tance of the 10 MEG pot. Mark this point on the
dial as the highest usable frequency. You are
now ready to put the CES machine into the
pro}ectbox(switcbSW2totheclosedpositionl)
and secure the cover lid with the four screws
provided.
At this point the only other thing required
to use the CES machine is electrodes. There are
two forms of these- the earclip electrodes and
scalp electrodes and both are easily made. The
electrodes are configured as shown in Fig 6. The
earclip electrodes are made from common, nickel
plated hair clips ("Clippiest ')which are painted
with layers of fingernail polish or model makers
enamel paint. Hint: Paint the jaw part and binge
part separately. Place small dowels either at the
front or back of the jaws as needed to bold the
jaws open. Dry by banging from wires. The
disk partofthe electrodes are made from copper
sheet stock obtained from a bobby store. The
scalp electrodes use disks of3/4" to 1" dia. The
disks for the earclip electrodes are 5/8" dia .
maximum. (Some people have small earlobes;
1/2" dia. is probably optimal.) It is best to buy
the "0, rings and cut the disks to fit these. The
disks for the earclip electrodes have a smaller tab
1116" wide so that it and the wire lead soldered
to it will fit through theopenjawsideoftheclip.
Obtain a 4-5' length of twin lead wire, split
approx. 18" of it and put a loose slip knot at the
18"pointto bold the split. Soldertheendsofthe
18" length to the tabs of the disks. Then, using
RTV silicone glue to "0, rings to the disks.
When this bas dried cover the backsides of the
disks and the tab/lead junction with RTV sili-
cone. In the case of the earclip disks, at this point
you position these, RTV and all between the
jaws of the (painted) hairclip and let the jaws
bold the disks until the silicone dries. Next,
,
solder the other ends of the twin lead wire to the
non-ground lugs of a 118" stereo plug. This
gives you a pair of scalp electrodes and a pair of
earclip electrodes to use with your CES ma-
chine. Place balls of cotton made moist with
(plain) saltwater(saturate solution) for1heearclip
electrodes. For the scalp electrodes work elec-
trode gel (purchased from a medical supply
house) into the well formed by the "0" ring.
You will find that hair has a way of quickly
wicking salt solution away from cotton for this
to be used with the scalp electrodes. An easy
way to hold scalp electrodes in place is to wrap
1he head with an elastic bandage and place the
scalp electrodes beneath this.
Now, you have the complete instrument
How to use it? The author suggest that you get
a diary and start out with the earclip electrodes
and try starting out with a couple of 20-40
minute sessions at 0.5Hz and then work your
way up the frequency dial in 0.5Hz or l.OHz
increments. How much current to use? Most
neophytes findthattheelectrodestendto "bite"
at first and usually manage only about 50uA the
1st few times. Now at this point the author will
recount his own experience in using this ma-
chine: Basically during the past 8 months I have
used primarily the earclip electrodes at frequen-
cies below 2.0Hz current levels of
100-ISOuA. The frequency I seem to like best
is 0 .5Hz. The higher frequencies don't seem to
do much with the earclip electrodes. Perhaps,
this is because the brainstem tends to be the
target organ with this arrangement. The most
notableeffectisasenseofcalmafteratypica130-
40 minute session (f

=0.5Hz, i

=100-150uA).
When using a current ofl.OHz or below there is
asenseofcyclingofconsciousness-oneminute
you feel very relaxed and could easily go to
sleep. A few minutes later you notice you've
never been more awake in your whole life. A
few minutes later yet, it is suddenly very easy to
day dream and so on. The most apparent long
term effect has been one of anti-anxiety. Nor-
mally, I'm a fairly high strung person and the
events of the day "get to me" I Since starting to
CES I've experienced just about the oppo-
stte- a sort ofSatori. The other notable long
teim effect has been a continual, small improve-
ment in my memory, especially short term
memory.
Eventually, I will get around to trying my
scalp electrodes and the effects of higher fre-
quency CES currents. I will report the results of
this. The above is the author's experience.
Remember human brains are highly individual
in their working. One warning! Don't go to
sleep while using CESI The author haS done this
twice and each time the result is a restless
irritable state that takes 3-4 days to go away:
Strangely, a further CES session seems to cure
this! If you are like most people, you
notice much of anything happening when using
aCES machines, theresultsofCES use being an
accumulative sort of thing which of course, will
be a disappointment to those who were hoping
CES would be a sort of"electrode LSD". So
what do you do while being exposed toCES? 1)
You keep up on your diary to keep trackofwhat
it (CBS) is doing and 2) you presumably are
doing CES to see if there are any benefits to your
mind so you can read some challenging litera-
ture or get that math book down you've been
meaning to get around to learning the contents
of and do your sums as it were. In short do what
you should.
VARIATIONS: WGBER CURRENT AND
MULTIPLE CURRENTCESMACHINES.
The machine shown in this article can be
made to deliver more output current It would
require using a power supply that delivered
(+or-) 18 volts. to 1he LF 353 and 741 section of
the machine while still retaining a(+) 12 volt
supply for the CD 4093 and CD 4024 section.
Probably such a machine could deliver 300uA
or more to a I K to 50 K load. Note that military
versions of the 741 chip have a maximum sup-
ply voltage rating of +or- 22 V which could
boost the output to almost 400uA. There are
high voltage op-amps (LM 343H, LM 344H)
that have maximum supply voltage ratings of
+or- 34 V but, these are expensive and 1he author
doesn't know how well these will perform in a
VCCS circuit. Perhaps someone will run an
experiment with these chips (LM 343H, LM
344H) and report the results. Note: For com-
merciallymadeCES machines with an output of
over IOOuA, the FDA requires aDoctor's pre-
scription and supervision for the purchase of the
machine.
Multiple current CES machines: Is there a
use for multiple current CES machines? Y esl
ThereisacommerciallymadeCESmachinethat
supplies two output currents and the frequencies
of the two channels are independent of each
other-. The users of this device reverently refer
to it as the "God Box" I At this point it should
be explained it is thought by CES researchers
that an input of two CES currents into the brain
at different frequencies causes interference pat-
terns (cancellation and re-enforcement of parts
of the two waveforms) and thus they cause
selective stimulation of various brain organs.
This is an exciting prospect but, one that would
have to be approached very carefully experi-
mentally!
The CES machine described in this article
could be the basis for a multiple current CES
machine. What would be required would be the
fabrication of two or more of the CES boards
and a possible upgrade in the capacity of the
power supply- oneCES boardrequiresapprox.
20uA of current. A larger housing wouldalso be
required. Happy experimenting!

FIELDS of INFLUENCE -- governed by the
inverse square law.
GRAVITY = attraction only - adds only --
accumulative.
Gravitational charge cannot be removed
or canceled.
Attraction of mass to mass, primarily
proton to proton.
One electron is 1/1840 the gravitational
attraction of a proton.
One electron is .05%. the weight of a
proton.
Weight is gravitational attraction on a
particle or mass toward the center of the
accumulative gravitational attraction of
all the protons in all the atoms that make
up our earth.
ELECTRICAL FIELDS of INFLUENCE add
or cancel.
Proton = positive electrically charged
particle surrounded by an electrical field.
Protons always retain their positive elec-
trical field.
Like charged positive protons try to
each other.
As a tight group held together by gravity
toward each other, they form the atomic
nucleus. Their weight is accumulative.
ELECTRON is negative charged particle sur-
rmmded by a field.
Electrons always retain theirnegativeelec-
trical field.
Like charged electrons repel each other.
As a spaced group electrons ad<l, so are
accumulative.
The more displaced electrons in a given
place, the greater the negative charge
repelling each other- electrical pressure.
Electrons are too light to be drawn into a
tight group by self gravity, like heavy
protons form the nucleus.
NEUfRON is a particle of neutralized electri-
cal charge.
A neutron is a proton and an electron
locked together by the attraction of unlike
charged particles.
A neutron is only slightly heavier than its
proton component.
The 1/2 life of a neutron is about seven-
teen minutes.
It separates into a proton and an electron.
AN ATOM is equal parts of protons, neutrons
and electron.
All electrical charges are neutralized.
The whole atom is an electrically neutral
charged particle.
Gravity is the only field left in the whole
neutral atom until magnetic fields in the
form of heat are introduced.
A MOLECULE is two or more atoms locked
together by mutually sharing electrons.
A POSITIVE ION is an electrically unbal-
anced atom due to loss of an electron or
electrons. It wants to attract electrons.
A NEGATNE ION is an electrically unbal-
anced atom due to receiving an excess of
electrons. It desires to repel excess elec-
trons.
PERMANENT MAGNETS
Magnetic fields ,of influence surround
permanent magnets.
Magnets attract or repel.
North pole end attracts South pole end and
add together making a longer stronger
magnet.
North end repels North end. South end
repels South end.
North pole iines of force will not cr<>ss the
North pole lines of force of another mag-
net. They simply repel each other.
Magnetic lines of force either add or
repel. They do not add or cancel each
other like the electrical fields do.
ELECTROMAGNET
A circular magnetic field extends around
an electrical conductor carrying a moving
electrical charge.
Magnetic field intensity varies with
changes of the electrical flow in the con-
ductor.
Magnetic field polarity reverses when the
electrical current direction reverses.
The expansion rate of the magnetic field
perpendicular to the conductor is 186,000
miles per second.
One polarity magnetic field is driven off
(radiated) when the reverse polarity mag-
netic field forms inside it, created by the
reversing electrical alternating current
(AC).
FREE FLYING SPHERES of radiated mag-

LARRY SPRINGS ELECTROMAGI'-JETIC SPHERES
netic energy compose the expanwng en-
ergy front.
They are ng . .longer tied to an electrical
conductor or a permanent magnet.
In 1985 I determined their spherical shape,
size, alternating polarity magnetic struc-
ture, compressibility and bounce charac-
teristics.
They grow in one polarity around an
electrical current carrying conductor at
186,000milespersecondduringtheavail-
able time in 1/2 cycle. This time depends
on the frequency.
The opposite polarity magnetic sphere
grows the same size in second 1/2 cycle of
the rapidly reversing electrical current.
TIME is the available period in which a mag-
'l netic field has to grow.
Time in which, traveling at 186,000 miles
per second, it reaches a conductor at a
distance that cuts the free flying magnetic
sphere's lines of force, thereby driving
the electrons and electrical current 90
degrees to the magnetic field's direction
of travel.
NEWTON'S LAWS OF MASS & MOTION.
They describe the rules governing mass in
motion.
These laws do not apply to pure energy
that has no mass.
A body at rest or in motion will remain at
rest or in motion unless some external
force is applied to it.
A force has to be applied to a body to start
it moving and, if the force is continued,
the momentum is accumulative.
RELATIVITY
The size, weight, strength, speed, mo-
mentum, inertia, distance etc. of one thing
as compared to another.
THE GRAND UNIFIED THEORY must there-
fore be the interaction between the basic
forces of gravity, electrical fields, mag-
netic fields, free flying spherical mag-
netic fields, all of which are acting on and
influencing the protons and electrons
within the atoms, Newton's laws apply-
ing to mass and motion, and time in which
to form, to travel and to act.
LOGIC CAN EXPLAIN IT ALL.

Michael Riversong, a musician and regu-
lar contributor to the Journal ofBorderland
Research, conducted this interview at the
International New Age Music Symposium
in Los Angeles, on April 26, 1991. Just
prior to this interview, there had been a
paneldiscussioninvolvingJonathan Glasier,
Jonathan Goldman, Bill Wesley, and sev-
eral other innovators in music. The discus-
sion had centered around the possibilities of
using music for healing in specific ways.
The Interval Foundation also had a display
room at the conference where several kinds
of ~ w instrument designs were demon-
strated.
Jonathan Glasier is the founder and di-
rector of the nonprofit Interval Foundation.
This organization" is dedicated to exploring
alternative musical universes, thus expand-
ing the boundaries and capabilities of mu-
sic. For several years, he published Interval
Magazine, a journal of microtonality. The
magazine suspended publication in_ 1988,
but may be revived sometime in the future.
Meanwhile, he is doing significant work in
extending the frontiers of music, with im-
plications for education, science, and heal-
ing.
Linnea Reid is a consummate networker,
who has worldwide contacts in education
and alternative technologies. She was cho-
sen as one of the world's greatest educators
by a United Nations committee. As one of
the founders of Light and Sound Research
Corporation, she has been involved in the
design and marketing of one of the first
automatic relaxation systems, which inte-
grates sound and light pulses to induce
specific brainwave frequency states.

MR: How did the Interval Foundation
get started, and how long have you been
working with it?
JG: Interval Foundation began in 1978,and
it was a vision, actually a mission, because
I had the wonderful thing of something to
say. That was the material I received from
having the legacy ofHarry Partch. He was
a master musician who created a holistic
ideaoftheater,music,anddance. He didn't
like the idea that opera put the instruments
down in a pit. He wanted everything on
stage. He also waated to bring ritual back
into theater and into life. He was a fairly
unhappy man, and I had to make a deal that,
if I was going to do this mission, I would
never be as unhappy as he was. Four years
after he died, I met another man who was
doing similar worlc, lvor Darreg. He is
another genius visionary way ahead of his
time. Again, living on almost nothing, but
still creating. The instrument called Big
Thunder [set up at the conference] is a
contrabass slide guitar. It's actually a
spruced-up prototype oflvor's instrument
called the Megalyra. This is saleable to the
public. It's a beautiful instrument that cre-
ates the first four harmonics; a whole rain-
bow of sound. And this is a healing instru-
ment. It goes from32 cyclesasecondon up.
So starting Interval Foundation came from
meeting all these geniuses, and especially
Harry Partch. I've been collecting them
ever since. I feel that my mission is to keep
microtonality from dying. I saw that, with
the death of Partch, it was threatened. I
actually dropped out of college to work
with him. I saw all these geniuses who were
writing vomcious letters to each other with
numbers and all this stuff, and they were
just way above other people. I said, ''this
needs a framework, and a forum''. And this
also needs to be put into a style where
everyone can understand it. There were
already some journals that were mostly
numbers, and so I put some pictures in of
real people and their real instruments. So I
feel that I needed to ground all this incred:.
ible energy about not only microtonal mu-
sic, which is exploring the harmonic series
to as full a potential as we're able to. Also
I found that pattern recognition, patterns of
space, like things ofBuckminster Fuller, fit
completely like a glove. I totally agree
[with Linnea] that we need a different edu-
cational system, that's based on reality.
MR: What you're saying then, is that the
patterns of sound and of space as illus-
trated in Fuller's Synergetics book are
pretty much the same?
JG: Basically, yes. I feel that the tetrahe-
dron is the template of reality.
JG: There are other people -I haven't men-
tioned that really belong in this picture.
Partch and Darreg pretty much guided me
to accept my mission to bring this to people.
Nowthere are 400-SOOpeople that are mak-
ing new instruments, and looking at the
territory between the octaves. Now I haven't
put out a magazine in three years. Basi-
cally, my mission has been accomplished.
What I need to do is reassess and see what
my new mission is.
~ R How does your organization get
funded?
JG: There is a woman who gives us some
money every year, but that's not much.
We've basically been struggling for the
past few years, until Wilbur came along.
He's not a musician, and he's really fo-
cused. He does see that essence of what we
have to offer. We're all visionaries, and
we're all kind of floating out there in the
ozone, being futurists.
LR: I call it being spiritual adventurers.
JG: So Wilbur is trying to make some
money for thecompany. He keeps saying,
"why don't you make a record?" So he
paid Jeff Staton to record us with Bill
Wesley. [This is the material now available
as the Interval Sampler cassette.] Bill is
now part of Interval. I basically found him

on the street. He's the one who made the
Array M'bira, based on an African design,
with precise Pythagorean tuning. I've been
building musical sculptures for playgrounds
and things like that. In the last couple of
years I've been going to workshops and
interfacing with people, building up my
network. I'm constantly looking for people
I can create the new universe with.
MR: Big Thunder reminds me of an
instrument that [Grateful Dead drum-
mer] Mickey Hart created, called The
Beam. Looking closer at your instru-
ment, it has several unique harmonic
intervals.
JG: It's basically an instrument that shows
you comparative music y ~ s right on it.
MR: You also have demonstrated the
M'bira. Could you explain how that's
constructed? [Ithaskeysthataregrouped
in natural musical intervals, with all har-
monic notes of each key together.]
JG: It has the wonderful idea that harmo-
nies should be friends. When Bill said that,
the lights went off for me. I'm interested in
creating instruments that are easy to play,
so youdon'thaveto go into amustypractice
room for five years to be able to come out
with a simple sonata. You can play wonder-
ful, beautiful music - anyone can. And
another instrument in thatdisplayroom was
made in Mexico, called the Harmony Harp.
It came from the tradition ofJulian Carrillo.
This has 100 tones in one octave. It sounds
like angels.
MR: The human ear can hear all those
intervals. It's amazing.
JG: If you have just afewnotes, like five per
octave, there are no wrong notes. At a
hundred tones, there are no wrong notes.
MR: I noticed that when playing with it
yesterday, because I'm a harp player. I
want to go back to the M'bira, because
when I tried playing it like I thought it
should be played, based on experience
with keyboards and the harp, I had a
terrible time. Then, when Bill explained
it the panel earlier today, I got it, and
thought, well, why don't they make ev-
erything like that?
tiona! body. This is part of why I'm so
fascinated with the new technologies of
sound
MR: This brings us into the next aspect
of,his whole article. I get hits when I hear
your music, like on the Interval Sampler
tape. In listening to that this morning, I
felt, ''wow, there's a lot in there", and of
course each part of the tape had a com-
pletely different effect. What are the
. healing aspects of this interval technol-
ogy?
JG: You know, I really can't answer that,
because I just feel that they are many, and
that they are basically unlimited. I would
just like to state over and over again that we
need to expand beyond those twelve equal
tones, in order to even know what the heal-
ing possibilities are. All I know is that I'm
following my heart, and my ears. I'm not
sure exactly which comes first.
MR: You've mentioned Harry Partch,
and his unhappiness during his life. I've
listened to a lot of his musicin the past,
and my feeling is that he was close to
something, but didn't quite get there. He
had a 43-tone musical scale?
erations. I've built some instruments al-
ready. One is in the Exploratoriwn in San
Francisco; it's called the Pentaphone -five
tones per octave, five different materials,
five sides. We need to-understand five, and
what that means. It's part of translating
ourselves up into a higher consciousness.
We live in boxes. We tum on our little box,
and we are glued to that little box. But what
about pentagonal dodecahedrons? Those
are wonderful s.ba,ees, also. There's no way
that I feel we're going to advance until we
get out of our boxes.
LR: So you think we could do this with
tones.?
JG: I think we can do it with tones; and
shapes, and with colors, but they need to be
coherent. And they need to be in concert
with each other. I think this is what Partch
was trying to say. We also need to bring it
down into aritualistic level, and re-connect
with our heart selves and use these as toys to
inter-relate to each other.
MR.: It's happening. There are people
doing all kinds of rituals around the
country; Now the idea of music with the
ritual is beginning to come in. I have a
vision of people playing new, spontane-
ous music for little rituals all over the
country, from Pentecostal churches off
in the boondocks all the way to big Catho-
lic temples in the cities.
JG: But we need to redefine ritual. It used
to be like the newspaper, and tell the stories
from the past. Now we have so much
electronic media to tell us about the stories
. from the past, we need our rituals to tell
about the future!
JG: Yes. Actually,heealled that the "one-
halftruth of the one-fourth fact.'' His scale
was expansive, and he Used intervals other
than the 43, but that was the intervals on his
Chromolodean instrument, and it seemed to
be the way that people could identify him
and put him in a cage. Basically, just into-
nation can use a whole myriad of intervals.
Just intonation is where the notes of the
scale correspond to the hannonic frequen-
cies. And so it's all based on one, which is
called 1: 1 ' and so it's a tonal-centered sys-
tem.
LR: And to trigger those viSions within
each person who carries that in their cellu-
MR: Precisely mathematical instead of lar reference. And that is what I think the
tempered then. new systems that are being created here,
JG: Which means ratios of string lengths. and synergy, are creating. That's where we
are.
LR: To the scientific mind who is looking
at mathematical frequencies and the tonal
harmonics, and then jumping into the future
and thinking about getting this out to future
generations- what can you say about your
foundation and the people that you've at-
tracted?
LR: From the information that I picked up, JG: Let me just tell you about some of the
about the M'bira, we're not working with things I've done. First of all; I care very
just the physical body but with the emo- much about education and the future gen-
JG: So I've created this instrument at the
Exploratorium, which, by the way, is one of
the most successful exhibits there. This is a
beautiful place. It's one of the best science
museums in the world This instrwnentnot
only shows you something, it listens to
creativity. I've been a teacher all my life,
and I wanted to make an instrument where
I wouldn't have to be there as the teacher;
that the instrument would do the teaching. I
Page 16, Sept-Oct 1991 Journal of Borderland Research
have a video tape of this. What I'll do, is
put it together with a gallery that I've
started, called the Sonic Arts Gallery. What
the Sonic Arts Gallery did, was a hands-on,
"please touch" gallery, which is totally
different from most art galleries. That's
the one thing music has. People would
come. into my gallery, and in five minutes,
they'd be in kindergarten. People really
need this. They need much more outlets
than we have. My theory is, that we've
pacified ourselves into a corner that it's
very difficult to get out of. We need more
activity, of life, and interchange with arts
and sciences. As I said, we live in our
boxes, and come in and turn on our boxes,
and where is the human interchange?
People live in neighborhoods and don't
evenknowwhotheirneighborsare. One of
the reasons society is crwnbling is there are
not enough interesting things to do. But
there are really a million interesting things
we can do to re-create ourselves. Music is
being cut out of education almost alto-
gethernow. Whynotjustputmusicalsculp-
- tures into the environment? So right now
I'm working on building a musical play-
ground for a country school in San Diego.
That's one thing I want to definitely be
connected with. One reason that I started
the Sonic Arts Gallery is to have a museum
of sound and light. Of course in order to
afford it -it was downtown, in a bad loca-
tion, with cockroaches and all that, but I
proved that people will support this. Now
I've just opened up anew studio called The
Performance Lab, and I'm working with a
dancer, who I worked with eight years ago.
We had a beautiful improvisational group
calied "The Sound and Movement Choir'',
and we're going to get back into a kind of
Partchian idea of creating improvisational
music, dance and drama. But we're work-
ing from the inner in creating. This is based
on rapport, and meeting once or twice a
week, until something formulates, and tJ.len
presenting it. I'm looking forward to re-
starting a publication but it needs a differ-
ent face. What I'd like to d o ~ integrate
more with sound, with light, and with pro-
portion. But it has to stay grounded and I
don't have quite all the parts to put it
together yet. There are now five or six
magazines where there once was just mine
about microtonality itself. I no longer feel
that I need to just say that but I would like
to integrate the idea also of sound healing.
When you heard Jonathan Goldman and
myself do this vocal harmonics, this is the
single best way, I know, to immediately
remove stress. I would just love to give this
to the universe. The ability to sing harmon-
ics in the car or traffic or anything; sing
harmonics and your stress will leave, I'll
guarantee it if you really concentrate on
that. We are all vibration and if you allow
yourself to be a tuning fork, as it were, then
you're aligning your own vibrations. Your
body is going to love it, if you align the
vibrations in your body. Now, certain
vibrations, you'll find, your body likes, and
certain vibrations your body doesn't like.
JeffThompson is doing a lot of interesting
work on this. But just start singing these
harmonics.
-
LR: Do you have a tape of the harmonics
available?
JG: I never made a tape of my harmonics,
but I would love to make a tape with
Jonathan Goldman or someone like him. I
think I might do that. I have a wonderful
network of friends, like Charles Lucy, Bill
Wesley, and Ivor Darreg. They are gems,
and I spend a lot of time helping them with
their work. What I really want more than
anything, is a research and development
center where I could get both of these
electronic and acoustic ideas and bring
these people here and say look, just relax,
and let's do our things. I want to know
where you're at and where you're going.
But also, I want to produce a product be-
causeultimatelyl'mlookingforaresearch
and development center to bring together
these people that have so much to offer but
that society does not reward. My mission
is to bring these people together so they can
just create and so we can build the new toys
and the new tools for the next time we're
here.

-MUSIC REVIEWS
by Michael Riversong
We all have familiar musical patterns in
our lives. What happens if we go exploring
outside the tightly Jlrescribed tonal bound-
aries of our society? For one thing, we may
have a difficult time finding any music.
Once we do, much of it will sound so
strange that running rapidly back to our
familiar tonal boundaries and never leav-
ing again is a temptation. So what is the
advantage of exploring this strange realm?
Pythagoras, who developed mathemat-
ics, music, and healing as one science, used
amathematicallyproportional scale, which
is the basis of all music in the West. While
this scale may have disadvantages when
used in, a royal orchestra composed of in-
struments from widely diverse families, it
is closer to the way Nature actually oper-
ates. That means mathematically propor-
tional scales may be more effective for
healing work than the familiar tempered
scale. Bach did a small amount of frac-
tional re-tuning to standardize the ancient
Pythagorean proportional scale so that
groups playing diverse instrwnents along
with keyboards could more easily harmo-
nize. Our familiar musical patterns are
cherished and cultivated, andmostofthem
fall within this tempered scale.
Over the years, several alternative pro-
portional scales have been developed. Each
one of these has a particular' 'mood'', and
so may constitute an alternative means of
expression. These systems could also be
concieved of as alternate universes, thus
giving us insight into a wider range of
possibilities in science, mathematics, and
technology.
Here are four tapes that use alternative
musical scales, to assist you in your explo-
rations.

ment especially suited to this work; the
Array M'bira. It is based on the idea of
African thwnb pianos, with keys arranged
in an innovative way that makes playing
much easier than with standard keyboards.
The geometry of Bill's key arrangement
could revolutionize music in the next gen-
eration. Some of the other instruments are
modifications of well-known instruments
such as guitars and synthesizers. Overall,
the quality of this music is high, even
though the tones are definitely foreign to
most ears. Ivor Darregplayed the only tune
found to be irritating, it is short and a
helpful illustration for practicing compos-
ers. I highly .recommend this tape as a
''primer'' to anyone interested in hearing a
completely ne:w kind of music. Interval

SEQUENTIA - Susan Alexjander. Set-
tingup anew scale system to correlate with
DNA chemistry is a challenging and excit-
ing prospect. Unfortunately, this tape did
not work out that well. It is obvious that a
great deal of work went into the composi-
tions. Technically, the tape is well-pro-
duced, including the live performance sec-
tion. But one can 'tescape a rather depress-
ing tone to the whole first side. The second
side's live performance is more pleasant to
listen to, but it is too short. Then, it is
followed by a long, technical discussion
that really doesn't belong on a music tape.
It can be of use to technicians who would
like to follow this work, but we must wait
for another composition from this obvi-
ously capable artist before we can truly .
appreciate the possibilities of her system.

VORTEX- Shira Chandler. According to
the ancient Vedas of India, the pmest mu-
sic is that of the human voice, and all
instruments are just a pale imitation of its
capabilities. Few people demonstrate this
principle better than Shira, who has put
together a definitive collection of vocal-
izations. This tape bas a specific thempeu-
tic purpose, which is to breakup stagnation
in life. Therefore, it is certainly not for
casual listening. This tape can be safely
used for meditation in the ancient Hindu
tradition, or for psychological ''clearing''
sessions. Shim uses the full mnge and
power of the voice, transcending all known
musical scale structures to give us this
useful work. P.O. Box 99074 San Diego,

LUCY SCALE SAMPLER- Charles
Lucy. Here is a limited edition tape by one
of Earth's greatest pioneers in alternative
scales. He has figured out exactly how to
retune synthesizers for all sorts of different
scales, and has published the specifica-
tions. He has also redeveloped guitar de-
signs to accomodate alternative scales.
These compositions are, as Charles ex-
plained it, an illustration of what is pos-
sible using his system of alternative scales.
They all have a pleasant character. This
tape is suitable for general listening, but its
greatest value is as a coherent set of explo-
rations that can assist future composers in
gaining ideas for alternative scale melo-
dies. A warning - this tape may be very
difficult to obtain. Lucy Scale Develop-

THE PERSECUTION AND
TRIAL OF GASTON NAESSENS
The True Story of the Efforts to Suppress
an Alternative Treatment for Cancer,
AIDS, and Other Immunologically Based
Diseases
by Christopher Bird.
318 pp, paperback, $12.95, ISBN 0-915811-
30-8, H J Kramer Inc., Tiburon, CA.
Gaston Naessens is a biologist, an inven-
tor and a true genius, an original thinker blessed
with intuitive insight. His ideas and thoughts
originate not in a crystalized scientific view of
our universe, but from somewhere beyond the
complacency of our common dominant para-
digm. In the 1950's he developed a lens
configuration for a microscope, " ... capable of
viewing living entities far smaller than can be
seen in existing light microscopes.'' As re-
cently as 1989, his achievement has been
hailed by microscopy experts.
"6Septemberl989 .... Wbatlbaveseenis
a remarkable advancement in light micros-
copy .... It seems to be an avenue that should be
Page 18, Sept-Oct 1991 }oumal of Borderland Research
pursued for the betterment of (p.4 ),
RolfW eiland, Senior Microscopy Expert, Carl
Zeiss Optics.
"Naessens's microscope and expertise
should be immensely valuable to many re-
searchers." (p.4), Dr. Thomas G. Tornabene,
Director, School For Applied Biology, Geor-
gia Inst. of Technology (Georgia Tech).
Because no one can explain why
lens configuration works, he has not been.able
. to patent his invention. This fact alone has
shed a nall ofNaessens' subse-
quent discoveries. As the fU'St man to peer into
it's eyepiece, he was a pioneer, an explorer in
an \Ulcharted world. Like Galileo, who de-
clared that the earth was not the center of the
Universe, Naessens has borne a brunt of reac-
tion from established medical and scientific
authorities .
"With his exceptional instrument,
Naessens next went on to discover in the blood
of animals and human- as well as in the saps
of plants - a hitherto unknown, ultramicro-
scopic, sulx:ellular, living and reproducing
microscopic form, which he christened a
somatid (tiny body) .... this particle was seen
by to develop in a pleomorphic
(form-changing) cycle, the fU'St three stages of
which - somatid, spore, and double spore -
are perfectly normal in health organisms, in
fact crucial to their existence.
Even stranger, over the years to somatids
were revealed to be virtually indestructible!
They have resisted exposure to carbonization
temperatures of 200 C and more. They have
survived exposure to 50,000 rems of nuclear
radiation, far more than enough to kill any
living thing. They have_been found impossible
to cut with a diamond knife.
The eerie implication is that the new
miniscule life forms revealed by Naessens
microscope are imperishable. At the death of
their hosts ... they return to the earth., where
they live on for thousands or millions, per-
haps, billions, ofyears!"(p.4-5)
From his initial discovery of the somatid,
Naessens went on to fmd, " ... that if and when
the immune system of an animal or human
being becomes weakened or destabilized, the
normal three-stage cycle of the somatid goes
through thirteen more successive growth stages
to make up a total of sixteen separate forms,
each evolving into the next.
All of these forms have been revealed
clearly and in detail by motion pictures, and by
stop-frame still photography, at Naessens's
microscope.
By studying the somatidcycle as revealed
in the blood of human beings suffering from
various degenerative diseases such as rheuma-
toid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, cancer,
and most recently, AIDS, Naessens has been
able to associate the development of the forms
in the sixteen-stage pathological cycle with all
of these diseases!' (p.9)
"Even more importantly, Naessens has
been able to predict the eventual onset of such
diseases long before any clinical signs of them
have put in an appearance. In other words, he
can 'prediagnose' them.
Having established the somatid cycle in
all its fullness, Naessens was able, in a parallel
series of brilliant research steps, to develop a
treatment for strengthening the immune sys-
tem. The product he developed is derived
from camphor ... Unlike many medicinals, it is
injected into the body, not intramuscularly or
intravenously, but intralymphatically- into
the lymph system, via a lymph node, organ-
glion, in the groin.'' (p.lO)
Naessens' discoveries have serious im-
plications regarding prevailing theories about
the causes and onset of diseased conditions in
the human body. For his discoveries to achieve
acceptance and respectability, the scientific
and medical establishment must question the
very foundation of their treatment and diagno-
sis premises. Medical science bases much of
its diagnostic and treatment premise on the
theories and discoveries of Louis Pasteur.
Pasteur believed that disease originates out-
side of the human body. A healthy system is
invaded by viruses, or bacteria. The medica-
tions and treatments prescribed are given to
fight this invasion. The disease is considered
to be invasive, and medical intervention often
follows an invasive course of treatment. Often
the side effects of treatment are as disruptive
to the health and well being ofthe body, as the
disease itself. Witness the effects of chemo-
therapy and radiation treatment for cancers.
Naessens believes that disease and its causes
originate in the body itself, via a suppressed
immune system. "Naessens attributes this
weakening, ... to trauma, brought on by a host
ofreasons,rangingformsofradiationorchemi-
cal pollution to accidents, shocks, depressed
psychological states, and many more.'? (p.9)
In scientific and medical circles, the clash
of such extremes is inevitable. Naessens. is
especially vulnerable because he provides
documentation that his Camphor and
Intralymphatic treatment has a 75% remission
rate for cancer and AIDS. "Innovators are
rarely received with joy, and established au-
thorities launch into condemnation of newer
truths, for ... at every crossroads to the future
there are a thousand self-appointed guardians
ofthepast." BettyMacQuitty, ''VictoryOver
Pain: Morton's Discovery of Anesthesia".
Most of Bird's story does not concern
itself with technical details ofNaessens' s dis-
covery, but rather with thepersecutionNaessens
has endured from the Canadian Medical and
Cancer Research establishment. Naessens
was brought to trial in Quebec for practicing
medicine without a license and for murder.
One of his patients, a woman with terminal
inoperable cancer was not part of his 75%
success rate. The charges were not brought by
her family, but by the Canadian Medical estab-
lishment.
The outcome for Naessens and for mil-
lions of cancer and AIDS patients is still
uncertain. Bird's book makes for fascinating
reading. Most ofthe information is presented
in terms that a layperson can understand. It
makes one wonder: how many other legiti-
mate scientific discoveriesaremolderingaway
in basements and laboratories. As is said,
"ignorance is legion."
This exceptional book also containsrefer-
encematerials on Royal R. Rife's work which
forshadows Naessan's discovery of the
somatid.
A must read.
*WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN &
ANGELS
A Study of Channeling
by Arthur Hastings.
232 pp, paperback, $12.95, ISBN 0-03-047
164-8, Holt, Rinehart & Winston, Inc.
''There is no proof, no irrefutable and
conclusive evidence, to completely and appro-
priately define this area of centuries-old re-
ported phenomena and make it a commonly
accepted everyday reality for all. Yet, for
those who have had the experience, there is no
question or doubt. All attempts to explain it
satisfactorily have gone beggingforcenturies.
Even hard-nosed critics and cynics, and many
''doubting Thomases, '' have had life-chang-
ing experiences when confronted by their own
moment of entry into this unexplainable and
unchartedrealm. '' ExcerptfromForeword,p.
ix.
For many of the readers of this Journal,
channeling is not a question of possibility. We
don't ask, is this possible. We should be
asking, however, is this channel a legitimate
one.
Channeling has become chic in our social
vogue. Inmanyways,ithasbecomeareplace-
ment for the true spiritual work at hand.
In all religious systems where the growth
ascendency of the human spirit is recognized
and potentialized, we hear the warnings. Be-
ware of distraction, psychic and spiritual phe-
nomena are the results of spiritual evolution.
They are a tool, a mean, if you will, of aware-
ness and self-knowledge. They are not an end
in and of themselves.
Hastings addresses these and many other
issues in this excellent study of channeling and
mediumship. First, channeling is not just a
contemporary phenomena. Hastings traces
its' history. He touches upon the Oracle at
Delphi, Old and New Testament prophets,
medicine men and women, the Spiritualist
Revival in the 1800's and then brings us back
to our contemporaries.
Always Hastings advises: Do not give
your personal power over to the Channeler or
the entity being channeled. He recounts one
instance when Ramtba, who is channeled
throughJ.Z.Knight, advised channelling work-
shop participants to invest their money is Ms.
Knight's newly begun horse breeding busi-
ness. Did anyone accuse Ramtha of J.Z. of a
conflict in interest?
Hastings points out, that the most accu-
rate channels made their livings, not through
their channeling, butthroughsomeunconnected
(to channeling) trade, skill or labor.
No spiritually enlightened entity would
demand blind obedience or investment, espe-
cially through such an unverifiable source.
When the time comes for such surrender, it is
something to be accomplished with out hearts,
. and our own inner voice. Not someone else's.
Neither Hastings, nor this reviewer dis-
parage the idea of channeled information. He
cautions us however about indiscriminate be-
lief. Many channels, while passing valid
information about one subject fall short in
many other areas. The stories of end of the
world cults are legion in number. We are still
here. Hastings touches on some of these in this
book. He also touches upon the success and
validity of channeled information. There is a
chapter devoted to "A Course in Miracles"
and one on Jane Roberts and the Seth material.
He discusses Alice A. Bailey and the Tibetan
and other channels as well. He devotes time to
the discussion of channeled literary, painting,
and musical compositions. I recommend this
book for those who desire a rational look at so
irrational a subject.
*MYSTERIES OF THE CRYSTAL
SKULLS REVEALED

and Joshua Shapiro.

It is not known how the human sized
crystal skulls discussed in this book were
formed. The art of their creation far surpasses
the known technology and sculpting tech-
niques available to contemporary crystal work-
ers.
'Yet throughout recorded history there
have been many baffling discoveries of arti-
facts, monuments, and. unusual patterns or
journal of Borderland Research Sept-Oct 1991, Page 19
designs left by the ancients. '' (P .xiii)
In fact, so unusual are these ancient arti-
facts that in October of 1970 the most famous
of these, the Mitchell-Hedges Skull, discov-
ered in an ancient Mayan ruin in 1924 was
brought," ... toHew1ett-PackardinSantaClara,
California, for extensive .scientific analysis.
Hewlett-Packard has one of the most sophisti-
cated laboratories for crystal research.
... their researchers claimed that it would
be virtually impossible to duplicate this crys-
tal skull. Through their tests, the skull was
shown to have an elaborate inner mechanism
of prisms and lenses that would refract and
reflect light proj ected upon the Crystal Skull
in specific ways. This system of lenses dis-
plays a technical competence that has only
been achieved recently (please note that this
skull was found in 1924, when no computers
or lasers existed). After shining polarized
light upon the skull while it was bathed in a
benzyl alcohol solution, they discovered that
whoever carved or made the skull had totally
disregarded the natural axis of the crystal
itself. (The crystal should have shattered.)
Another highly puzzling detail was that
no matter what temperature the researchers
subjected the Mitchell-Hedges Skull to, it
always remained 70F. All of the fmdings
were so astounding that one of the crystallog-
raphers at Hewlett-Packard was quoted as
saying, ' The damn thing simply shouldn't
even be. " ' (P.xviii)
It was also discovered, (the Mitchell-
Hedges Skull has a removable jaw piece) that
both the skull and the jaw were originally one
piece of crystal.
Another one of these skulls is sculpted
from a large piece of Amethyst. It has a
unique feature. Hewlett-Packard t s t ~ show
that this skull was formed from not one, but
two separate pieces of Amethyst. A notice-
able suture line runs from the back to the front
of this skull. How this fusion was accom-
plished is not known. Even the most advanced
laser technology on the planet today can not
accomplish this.
Especially interest, because it is con-
curred, even in scientific circles, that all of
these skulls had their origin ina pre-Columbian
indigenous-culture. There are various theories
:r:egarding the carvers, the cultures and the
purpose of these skulls. Atlantis and the anti-
deluvian world has been mentioned. One
theory suggest a laser technology much supe-
rior to our own. Others suggest an extra-
terrestrial origin for the skulls. Another theory
suggests the use of a hitherto unknown plant
substance that when placed on hardened min-
erals makes it matleable and therefore ame-
nable to sculpting by fmger pressure from a
human hand. Proponents of this theory also
point to its use in Mayan and Aztec architec-
ture, rather than known techniques of stone
masonry. There is also speculation that the
skull was carved, rather formed through the
applied use ofhigh level mental activity chan-
neled through the third eye. Sculpting through
mind Finally, and the theory favored by
contemporary scientists, is the formation of
the skulls by simple hard work. Grit and
polish. However, even the supporters of this
theory admit that it would have taken a mini-
mum of300 years oflabor hours to accomplish
this.
Theories also abound regarding the pur-
pose of these skulls. There is an excellent
photo in this book showing a holographic
image of what appears as a disc or flying saucer
that spontaneously formed in the Mitchell-
Hedges Skull. Some people suggest some type
of crystal computer or a library of ancient
records and images. As of this publishing, the
answer has not been found.
''Mysteries of the Crystal Skull'' is full of
photographs and information. Read it.
*ELECfRO POLLUTION
How to Protect Yourself Against It
by Roger Coghill.
192 pp, paperback, $9.95, ISBN 0-7225-
2307-6, Thorsons Publishing Group,
Northamptonshire, England.
Coghill presents compelling evidence re-
garding the pathological effects of microwave
and electromagnetic fields upon the human
body. He documents the increased incidences
of childhood leukemias, cancers, and crib death
syndrome in direct relation to proximity of
high voltage power lines, radio signal trans-
mitters, and electrical transformers.
This book also contains some practical
applications for protecting ourselves from these
dangers. Electro magnetic field differentia-
tions are easily measured. Symptoms ofleth-
argy, irritability, and migraine headaches can
often be traced to prolonged contact with electro
magnetic fields. In some experiments docu-
mented symptoms disappeared when the power
main to a house was switched off. Many
appliances in our homes, microwave ovens,
computer terminals, television sets, and radios
are not as environmentally sound as we be-
lieve. When someone says, ''Nuke it'' in a
microwave oven, they may not be too far from
the truth.
I now fmd myself paying attention to the
location of electricai power lines and trans-
formers. Be careful out there, in here, and
everywhere. Good reading on an important
topic, though at some points too technical for
the layperson, including myself.

This basically is a selfhelp manual OJ\ the
practice of meditation and the awakening of
the Kundalini. A study of Kundalini and

context is follo'}'ed by a practical guide to

plentiful and relate well to the text. At one
point, the authors 1ikefi the awakening of the
subtle light body to riding on an elevator.
While this reviewer can not vouch for the
efficacy of the exercises contained herein, nor
for the credentials ofthe authors, I do believe
they are worth a try, as human advancement
dictates that we progress in our knowledge of
the fmer forces. However, I must caution the
reader. Historically yoga and mediation exer-
cises have always been performed ina cultural
and religious context. When the chakras
awaken and the snake coiled at the base of the
spil}.e (kundalini) begins its climb, numerous
and,hltherto unexperienced phenomena occur.
This can be frightening and confusing as the
practitioner often lacks a personal context for
integration. What may seem frightening and
unknown may actually be a common experi-
ence for all practitioners of the form. Maybe
what we need, with the preponderance of
books on this subject, is an 800 number for

Students of the physical sciences are well-
acquaintedwiththeillustriousnameofSirOliver
Lodge. This one name not only conjures up
images of Victorian England and the ivy-cov-
ered walls ofBritish Academia but far, far more.
Like Baron von Reichenbach in his time, Sir
Oliver Lodge was one of those academicians
who dared. delve into the paraphysical worlds.
He was possessed of sufficient personal force,
regional respect, and positional power to make
his researches serious enough to be considered
by his peers. The companions of Baron von
Reichenbach would not be quite so kind with
their illustrious colleague in Germany, but Sir
Olivereverheldthedistinctionofrespectamong
his contemporaries. It is in this very text, so long
unobtainable, that Sir Oliver Lodge actually
begins the jump from the material world into the
retheric and astral worlds. His researches are
herein chronicled in a superbly British style.
The atmosphere of the volume is artfully Victo-
rian, covering that magnificent time of the
1890's. It is a fitting tribute to these predeces-
sors that Borderland is making such excellent
works available at out own century's turn.
Sir Oliver Lodge was one of those theore-
tician-experimenters, sufficiently versed in the
most important frontiers of physics in his day.
Awash in an ocean of new and stunning possi-
bilities afforded the scientists ofhis time, he was
quick to grasp the singular importance of all
varieties of experiments. having to do with the
.tEtheric Continuum. He himselfhad designed,
built, and tested his own "rether machines" in
hopes of discovering some new knowledge con-
cerning spatial realities and dynamics. Though
his initial discoveries actually gave strongly
positive results, we shall see that the sufficiently
powerful pressures-of certain academic groups
would force him to so alter his views and experi-
mental procedures, that no detection of etheric
drifts could be reported. One feels intuitively in
all these reports ofhis (throughout the text) that
Dr. Lodge remained truly disappointed and aes-
thetically unable to acceptthe explanations of all
the many "negative results" found. We also
become aware of the numerous researchers
(world-wide) who performed different kinds of
tests directly upon theretheric continuum. These
tests were made in order to determine very
specific aspects and qualities of the rether.
Each such experiment was performed from
an inertialistic viewpoint, discounting all sub-
jective sensation or participation in the retheric
sensual presence. The inertialists were predict-
ably destined to remain alienated amid the retheric
worlds, being quite incapable of detecting any
but the inertial effects of lightbeams upon the
' rethers. Thisbaseofflawedaxiomswasrespon-
sible, in total, for the many failed readings and
falsely assumed means of performing rether
tests. In spiteofthesevarietiesoffailures, we yet
find numerous examples of positive readings
amid the garden. We remain awestruck over the
many varieties of rether examinations, and are
genuinely devoted to such flowing gems of
endeavor; they stand forth againstthe blackness
of space as rare flowers.
Though underground researchers are aware
of the detection experiments which had given
strong positive reactions to a drifting rether, we
fmd Dr. Lodge speaking between the lines to us
at every turn. All too capable of handling the
rigors of mathematical explanations and the
mind-distorting twists oftherelativists, Sir Oliver
has let us know that the Victorian views of rether
and Space yielded a more potent and fiuitful
legacy than that which was to follow (relativity
theory). The text, originally presented as a series
oflectures, should be required reading by every-
one in the underground scientific academy. It is,
I believe, the most thoroughly comprehensive
notation of the state-of-affairs at that pivotal
time period in science history. The text deals
almost entirely. with the opto-mechanical spe.:
cies of inertial rether-reading devices.
His first chapter leads us into the ancient
waters of time; the history of "rether" and
"retherion" has timelessly archaic roots. Al-
lowing us to glimpse clearly into the true nature
ofretheras "dreamy, mythical space" he takes
us into the growing inertialistic view which
climaxed during his day. The analogies given
by his predecessors, through which attempts
were made to isolate the geometro-ponderant
effects of rethereal substance, is recounted to us.
Dr. Lodge retells his own mathematical exami-
nations ofthe incomprehensibly multiple aspects
ofthe (inertial)rether. Its seeming tensile strength
in excess of any known metal, its unbelievable
transparency and near-vacuous gossamer-like
quality, its ability of supporting magneto-elec-
tric and gravitic fields, its ability of conducting
varieties of wave phenomena, as well as other
inconsistent aspects -- all these are thoroughly
discussed. We found his analogies between
gravitation and steel columns especially fasci-
nating. We know that he was to delve into
paraphysical research, even as Sir William
Crookes had done; we sense that he is on the
verge of uttering the inner conviction that rether
is farmorethan some "ultra-substance"- some-
thing possibly incapable of being measured by
mere physical device.
Chapter 2 and 3 bring us into and through
the pertinent theories of his day. The rether as
"interstellar medium" is broadly discussed in
strictly physical terms. All the astrophysical
observations made up to that date are clearly
presented in a thoroug piscussion. This in-
cludes certain optical principles, aberrations of
light in space, lightbeams through the interstel-
lar medium, and the critically important concepts
of Fizeau and Fresnel: to prove the mutual
effects of material, rether, Space-viscosity and
inertiality. Nearly everypossible aspectofinter-
actions between rether and materials, or rether
and lightbeams, is presentedforthereader. This
is, perhaps, the best textbook for retracing the
very steps which led to the brink of relativity
theory, and the subsequent misdirection science
had decided to accept wholeheartedly. Theories
oflight, aberration, effects of media, refraction
-- indeed, all the phenomena associated with
fun m ~ tal (inertial) lightprinciplesare brought
together tmder one chapter heading. There is
possibly no other text which I have found to be
so direct and comprehensive in such historical
matters.
The fourth chapter portrays all the designs
for mechanical rether-detecting machines. The
engraving which show us these almost forgotten
alternative experiments are truly wonderful. We
are given the marvelous sense ofhis time; days
of private invention, free-enterprise cottage in-
dustry, and empirical experiment. In these
drawings and their intended purpose, described
by our eloquent narrator, we are made to under-
stand the very great difficulty of designing
mechanical rether-sensitivemachines. SirOliver,
a true professor of the academic world, explains
in summary fashion the theoretical reasons for
choosing certain designs. The accompanying
optical requirements, degrees of accuracy, and
expected findings are presented to us. Of course,
one feels the weight of concern and embarrass-
ment in this lecturer's words at every mention of
a "negative" result. The very structure of the
scientific paradigm was "balanced upon a pin-
point'' in Space, and these rethermachines were
far more than mere measuring devices. As the
inertialists conceived the rethers, limiting and
defining them in the absence of personal partici-
pation, so they proceed in their determinations.
Dr. Lodge has presented the case held by
the community ofhis day concerning the many
reasons for seeking certain rether-drif..s. He also
mentions other retheric driftS believed to exist;
recounting the history preceding the choice of
specific materio-retheric interactions. It is here
that we are made to understand exactly why
Journal of Borderland Research Sept-Oct 1991, Page 21
certain rether-machines were designed. The
inertial physics, invariabl_e conclusions of the
" realism' which took hold of academic circles,
led all the eyes of science to these rethero-physic
devices (we will describe this aspect in a subse-
quent article). The quest ofthe inertialists was
destined to failure by spectator-scientists and
their flawed logic. What can only be known
through participational experience, what can
rarely be (inertially) measured, was sought. To
fmd the Very Absolute remains the aim of all
science. It is at such edges of perception that the
participant realized the true experience of mind-
expansion. The reactions of Space during such
expansion, and the intelligent astral regions ex-
plored and adored by more (archaic) sensitive
races, must be rediscovered and developed.
When age seeks to determine the founda-
tions of Absolute it is then that new
technology appears. As each questing group
extends the borderlands of understanding, so we
reach new exposed heights. Dr. Lodge has gone
into great detail concerning therether-driftsought,
and the various means of measuring those drifts,
we see this important text as increasingly vital in
tracing out clues to our present academic posi-
tions. Realizing errors, omissions, and successes
of the quest_ (for identifying the retheric con-
tinuum), we will personally ask strangely new
and potent question.
Each Victorian device is explained with
sufficient brevity as to permit a rapid acquisition
of"Victorian" understanding. We are shown
the simplicity of certain schemes made to mea-
sure the various rether-drifts, and the strangeness
ofthe(supposed)"negative effects". Of course
Lodge was perplexed, searching for answers to
this powerful paradox. Though he knows more
than he says, he shows us the utter frustrations
involved with the experiments. Some used
specially treated optical paths.
A thorough examination of expected opto-
retheric mutations is given (shifts in light
frequency, velocity, persistence of ray-linearity,
and mode of propagation). He gives reasons
why optical paths were chosen in the very first
place. He finally recounts the Michelson inter-
ferometer as detector of infinitesimal
movements, and its importance as a diagnostic
tool in possibly detecting drifts in a static rether.
[Curiously enough, none of these inertial rether-
explorers questioned their negative results as
powerful confirmationsofthe geocentric theory
of reality. I twas always assumed that both earth-
rotation and earth-revolution would be revealed
as fringe-shifts in optical rether detectors. But
such motions were never to be found. Each
positive effect was always one which revealed a
"cosmical" motion: one whose specific angu-
larity of effect seemed to descend from Space.
No earth motion has ever been found. Sir
Oliver's findings always involved "gliding
fringes across the field of view.] Fizeau used
running water to slur the rether. Hock, Mascart
and Jam in used stagnant water as a medium for
amplifying the rether "slur effect" upon
lightbeams. Fresnel discussed the effects of
very thick glass upon rether and light.
Chapter 5 allows us an in-depth look at
some very different experiments performed in
the retherial surroundings. These were the at-
temptsoiDr. Lodge to fmdrethericdrifts through
the use of retherial viscosity. (which none of the
others had attempted in free air). These experi-
ments of Lodge were novel, and display his
attachmentto certain paraphysical concepts. The
experimental apparatus ofLodge allowed intro-
duction of electrical and magnetic charges. The
significance of these latter experiments, espe-
cially in their defined effect upon gravitation,
would later be revealed in time by such notables
asNipher, SirOliver
chose a design which encorporated a stack of
very heavy metallic discs which were to be
rotated rapidly. This device was, essentially, a
T esla turbine. Its massive presence was effec-
tive in creating shears within the rether.
His hope of-stirring and dragging the vis-
cous rether by such an "retheric engine" was
fulfilled: we find Dr. Lodge making the as-
tounding first report of a positive result. In the
light of the subsequent experiments by Michel-
son and Gale (in which Michelson himself
attempted to prove his multiple measurements
of a positive effect), and the excellently docu-
mented experiments of Miller (in another great
publication by Borderland), Lodge himself re-
counts his astonishment at the initial findings.
Yet, we see him believe, doubt, and sink-in that
very order! He says that he was "unable to
believe" these first findings-- he "distrusted''
the spectacle which was repeatedly witnessed in
the eyepiece of his apparatus (pages 73-75); a
fascinating recovery of historical significance!
Thereaderofthistextwillobtain, firsthand,
the fascinating descriptionofDr. Lodge's "spu-
rious positive effects" made with neutral,
electrified and magnetized whirling discs. In-
. forming us more than he realized, Professor
Lodge offers a grand bibliography for further
branching studies. It is obvious that Lodge
continued to maintain the belief in an retheric
continuum in spite of all criticisms (the results of
experimental evidences). Not having seized his
positive results, and failing to see them as true
records of retheric driftings, he conceived every
other possibly alternative to explain his contin-
ued belief in rether.
Chapters 6 & 7 are marvelous sources for
those interested in the zero-point dynamics. We
are presented with a thorough discussion of the
density, material viscosity, energetic equiva-
lences and independent nature of the retheric
medium and its quasi-physical aspects. While
we have developed concepts of the rether as
forms of Space (and personal of
Page 22, Sept-Oct 1991 Journal of Borderland Research
awareness within those spaces), we are shown
the steps of Victorian inertialists in their quest
toward the astral knowledge. Dr. Lodge brings
us into the deep waters of subjects such as
retheric strength, retheric energy and material
substance, material presence and retheric ener-
gies. StudentsofMoray should read these topics
in conjunction with the writings of Dr. Gustav
LeBon, (Evolution of Matter and Evolution of
available from Borderland Sciences).
The last chapters of the text are appendices.
These excellentdfs<alssions of certain problems
(essentially, the viscosity, strain, tensions, and
potential energies of the rethers) round out the
reader's increasing fund of knowledge. The
bibliography excellently serves us in branching
outward into other periodically of that time-
period. Along with this text, we strongly suggest
that the reader seek after articles which de-
scribed electro-retheric devices.
[Phillip Lenard performed several such tests
using Plucker discharge tubes, proving that
Space conducts charge anisotropically. The
works ofSagnac, who also found positive rether-
drift results (using rotating tables of mirrors)
should be sought out. The recent positive results
of Cooke in_ Canada (1983), using
magnetic fields and inert-gas laser-beams,. must
be studied closely. One also must begin to
realize the all-importance of personal experi-
ence with retherlc currents and winds. Such
finding-s have been reported by such notables as
W. Reich, T. J. Constable, B. Payne, and H.
Meinke in psychotronic applications. The works
of others, who have employed devices which
conduct rether directly, must be read (G. Ho-
dowanec, T. T. Brown). The legendaries who
discovered diurnal and seasonal variations in
radionic-retheric procedures must also be in-
tensely studied: Abrams, S. Rodgers, T. G.
Hieronymous, De LaWarr, L. Kolisko, R.
Hauschka.] Many of these works are available
through Borderland Sciences.
This text is a bibliomancer's dream. Defi-
nitely a must for all retheric researchers and for
developers of new teknology.

One of the mysteries in the science of
biology today is how a living entity acquires
its form. It is considered that the DNA will
eventually reveal this missing information,
and as we shall see this is both correct and
incorrect depending on the context. In fact,
the information in the DNA strands is so
complex that we sometimes refer to such
systems as random. However, what we shall
be mainly concerned with here is specifically
how the geometry of a living organism takes

a sculptor who works in stone. He begins with
a block larger than the fmal object which we
can imagine as, say, a figurine at the center of
the block. Envisage the block of stone as

Now let us return to
the vortex. We know that
a vortex spirals inward,
but remember that it re-

geometry to understand its
periphery. In 4D, this
effect.

A .full description of even . some of the
subsidiary concepts involved here is not pos-
sible since we are considering processes which
generalize to all fundamental systems of mind,
life, and the universe; for example, how minds
communicate verbally (from concepts}, how
physical mobility is achieved in musculature
system, and even how advanced extraterres-
trial propulsion systems work (which are based
on nature's universal processes).
This information is not being presented in
a form suitable for the orthodox scientist since
there will not be the space to justifY the
concepts; it will be assumed the reader al-
ready has some familiarity, such as with the
nature of the vortex.
means that the spiral can take two directions
towards the center. directions become
more nearer the center and meet,
creating a standing-wave structure.
2
This is
the true higher-dimensional form ofthe double-
helix spiral -- see the diagrams in Figure 1.
This is also the basic unit of wholeness for
all entities; atoms, cells, organs, planets, solar
systems, galaxies, universe, etc. The famous
Russian philosopher Ouspensky once dreamt
he had discovered the secret of the universe.
The following morning, on examining the
sketch he had made during the night, found it
to be one which is identical to (d) in Figure 1
but without the spirals.
3
Now let us picture this 4D spherical vor-
tex spiralling Recognize the
spiral is immensely fme. In fact, because of
this, mathematically it can be modelled as
consisting of countless concentric spheres.
These are not peripheries but spheres one
inside the other on a gradient 4D to 3D; each
is a quailtum field and fractionally different
from its neighbor. Moreover, each is a field of
context for all ''lower' fields -- none must be
missing or out ofharmonic alignment or chaos
will result. Now consider an intermediate
stage which can be analogued from the blow-
ing of soap bubbles 4dh in the rare occurrence
a whole group is formed of intersecting bubbles
of different sizes. The vortex has divided into
smaller ones; this is the nature of quantum
reduction - see Figure 2.
Note that shaping of the organism can
now begin to take place according to the
magnitude of the radii of the spheres and
FIGURE 2
also the degree of intersection (phase relation
oftheoscillations). Wementionedearlierthat
the spirals take two paths inward and meet
somewhere in the center. If they meet at a
minute point in the center we get the appear-
ance in 3D of a particle or the fundamental
oscillation (stationary state) of an atom (these
are actually nodes-- center region of the sine
wave). However, according to the program or
blueprint -- modulations within the holisitic
waves-- in the 4D periphery of the vortex,
these two spirals can meet much sooner, cre-
ating a greater area of intersection -- study
Figure 1 (c). These areas of intersection are
stable standing-waves structures -- they are
oscillating in and out of our 3D matrix. The
larger ones act as a guide for the smaller ones
within. 1bis is achieved by resonance due to
harmonic relationships. These stationary-
wave structures between the large vortex and
the smallest within, are fractal levels -- an-
other mystery in current science. With some
effort ofthe imagination we see that any shape
whatsoever can be created by adjusting two
variables: 1) radius ofthe intersecting spheres,
and 2) phase relations of the sine waves repre-
senting their oscillations-- see Figure 3.
Remember that only the smallest oscilla-

tions are fully in 3D and detectable with
orthodox scientific methods and ego percep-
tion but all these'' spheres'' are true wholes or
quantum states going into higher orders to-
wards the' 'periphery'' of each greater vortex .
Compare Figure 4 for the corresponding dia-
gram representing the universe. The precise
placement of any point within the primary
vortex, such as in the positioning of a cell, is
achieved by programming the phase relation-
ship of the "spheres" which in the periphery
of the vortex is accomplished by adjustment
of the phase angles of the "sine" waves.
According to this phase relationship ml4 the
magnitude of the fmal standing wave (an
inner-vortex periphery) the outer vortex spi-
rals inward and will be automatically biased
one way or the other spatially, homing in
perfectly to a specific location. 1bis is also
how extraterrestrials navigate to a coordinate
point during teleportation and also how, for
example, a pianist instantly locates, when
desired, a point of information in, say, part of
a fmger movement during whole complex
coordinations.
In reality we thus have two conditions: 1)
the DNA which we know contains informa-
tion for the regulation and maintenance ofthe
organism, and 2) a higher-dimensional blue-
print or spiritual ''seed'' which contains infi-
nitely greater probable information in the
modulations ofits sine waves in its4D periph-
ery.
The DNA thus provides the 3D control,
and by sending its resonances up through the
gradient spiral ofthe vortex, meeting at every
level the basic program ofhigher-dimensional
information, selection of probabilities takes
place. As one goes from the outside to the
inside, probabilities from the most general
state are under continuous selection all the
way towards complete and singular specifica-
tionofeachparticlein3D(quantumreduction).
The DNA is necessary to precipitate the gra-
dient (4D to 3D) into 3D specification. This
is achieved entirely by resonance of informa-
tion from one level to the next (the process is
complex beyond imagination). Because the
gradient is so fme the transmission of infor-
mation is difficult to grasp. If we take a
fictitious and more blatant example the point
universe

becomes more obvious. For instance, con-
sider persons A, Band C; each corresponds to
quantum fields adjacent in the gradient. Per-
son A knows the specific whereabouts of a
buried treasure, say 50 degrees NW of an oak
tree. Person B knows which park the tree is in
(nothing else), and C which town the park is
in. There are several trees, parks, and towns,
etc. The information which each has is neces-
sary to locate the treasure beginning at the
large ''quantum state'', the town. Each piece
of information is a context for the next'' lower''
information. In this manner, the most com-
plex processes of nature can be handled
including the highest abilities of coordination
involved in physical mobility.s
Now owing to the relationship of these
quantum fields c h are holistic and holo-
graphic,
6
if one looked deeply enough within
the DNA going into higher-dimensional space
one would in fact contact the source; in other
words, the DNA would be found to contain the
information for formative processes (but by a
stretch of the imagination). Thus even the
question posed earlier about this requires the
correct context. Everything works in the
relationship (the context) of something else.
The ego fails to recognize this because it
operates and evaluates in dichotomies-- good/
bad, this or that, etc. and not gradients. This
is a smattering of the physics . of the ego;
information very much needed today to ex-
plain science and human behavior.

B.S.R.F. BULLETIN BOARD
OPERATION CLINCHER
I have been a subscriber for a number of
years. I was so filled with adoration for the
subject and the participants in Operation
Clincher that I showed the article to an old
friend who is a distinguished physicist with
impressive credentials. He shot down the
whole story (to my embarrassment).
He says that no one yet bas proved the
eJ:istence or said what it is. He says
that none of the data are proved other than
that weather and smog fluctuate, and that
the Spiders' functions have to be taken on
faith. Does a working definition ofETHER
eJ:ist? I have been an admirer ofT JC and
his writings. H his Spider is "appallingly
simple", can he furnish a working dia-
gram? This be a boon to mankind,
unless the technology is vulnerable to dan-
gerous misuse by the uninformed.
If the whole effort is subject to loud and
viscous reaction and political condemna-
tion by those whose pockets are threatened
if it Is adopted by municipalities, counties
or states, then the veil of secrecy should be
drawn from ether technology.
What Is it? How does it work? How
can we reproduce the effects? You at JBR
are very generous with diagrams, such as
MWOs.
My friend oflong standing I value as a
friend and respect as a leader in his field,
and I would also like to see your article
more firmly founded.
Sincerely yours,
Bill James
Santa Fe, NM
I was very much impressed by your article
OPERATION CLINCHER and I would
like to build a generator of etheric vortices.
Montreal (Canada) does not even come
close to L.A. as far as smog is concerned but
it would be interesting to set up a few
stations here. Is it possible to have plans of
that generator so I can assemble one?

This is a cross section of the mail received for
the OPERATION CLINCHER article. One
mustWlderstandthatauniversity-trainedphysi-
cisthas an Wlderstanding of the universe based
on special case physical experiments. This is
a profound science that, through probing what
Ernst Lehrs calls the ''nether border of na-
ture'', has given us our modem technology
and nuclear bombs, but it lacks quite a bit of
information that has been officially ignored
and/or suppressed over the last century --
specifically any evidence of life energy or
ether. The ether's existence has been proven
definitely on several occasions. Wilhelm
Reich's orgone accumulator compresses the
atmospheric ether which can then be measured
via luminosity and heat gain. Also, see "The
Ether-Drift Experiment; the Determination of
the Absolute Motion of the Earth'' by Dayton
C. Miller, from Reviews of Modem Physics,
Volume 5, 1933, (reprinted by BSRF) for an
expositionofthedetectionoftheetherthrough
scientific experiment.
The modem scientific viewpoint takes on
faith that the universe is constructed on pat-
terns determined by electrical particles ere-
ated by the experiments themselves!
structure and operation of these in-
stnnnents is proprietary as they have a pro-
found effect on the subtle flows controlling the
weather and they are not the type of units to be
built as a project to see if they work. Much
damage could result from misuse. Not only is
knowledge of the equipment necessary, but
also the astronomically regulated periodicity
(like the tides) to the etheric flows. As Trevor
points out on one ofhis videos on file here, that
controversy over the ether has been raging for
thousands of years-- he has jumped that hurdle
and put the ether to work. Whether or not the
academic world accepts Trevor's work does
not stop him from accessing the ether with his
_ original equipment. Trevor has done over 20
years of experimental work in this field and
flies advance notice of all his projects with the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-
tration, and keeps them notified by telegram of
all important changes. It is because he takes
these steps that Borderland has promoted his
work. We do not promote the general building
and usage of this equipment -- rather we are
trying to create a historical record ofTrevor's
work and to stimulate the open mind to probe
further into the borderlands of human knowl-
edge. The equipment is" appallingly simple"
but it takes knowledge of the fmer forces to
both design and operate. Simply building
from plans would not give the necessary infor-
mation needed to interface with the natural
forces properly. Rather the equipment must
come as an accompaniment to the knowledge
gained through proper study.

And here is Trevor Constables reply to
Dennis K.loceks letter in the last Journal:
These studious and enlightened comments
and suggestions give valuable insight into
etheric workings. Dennis's astroclimato-
logical projections certainly show synchro-
nism with atncher operations, but my opin-
ion based upon extensive experience outside
the Oincher experiment, is that our vortex
strings materialize at what could be charac-
terized as the lowest level of the etheric -
without any necessary connections to Cos-
mic events. Our Spider units are simple,
unsophisticated devices that merely "stir"
the etheric in a sympathetic and lawful
fashion.
When the south-north spring and sum-
mer current of the northern hemisphere
switches in the fall and winter to a north-
south regime, the vortex strings manifest
again, running southward from southern
California into Mexico and - Central
America. There is perhaps, again, an astro-
climatological correlation that Dennis might
adduce for this. Experience has neverthe-
less proved over the wide expanse of the
Pacific and in southeast Asia, that baromet-
ric lows in strings, with rainy consequences,
ensue from the use of these simple vortex
generators. Their operation in Hawaii, for
example, can produce rain in California,
and has often done so. We have known of
this connection for many years, There may
well be astroclimatological reasons for this,
or astroclimatological consequences, but I
am of the opinion at this point that we are
just in the first stage beyond the purely
mechanical, which proceeds without con-
sciousness of etheric workings - however
grossly these may impact on the ethers.
In the past two years on the high seas,
these simple vortex generators have proved
decisively, over and over again, and pressed
down with abundant video proof, that heavy
rains can be engineered inside vast high
pressure cells. One can take the video
camera from the ship's official barometer
at, say, 1028mb, and pan it on to a deluging
rain line across the vessel's bow that is more
than 20 miles long by radar measurement.
I could not accept at this stage, that astrocli-
matological facton produced this rare phe-
nomenon rather than the Spider . The abil-
ity to do this kind of thing virtually at will
while in motion over the sea, indicates on
the contrary, a cooperative use of the ethers
that is just about as close as one can ever get
to things mechanical. We are operating at
the extreme lower fringe oftheethericworld.
An interesting sidelight to this, is that
the Spider has been operated on shipboard
below decks and below the waterline, with a
minimum in any direction of a inch of
marine steel plate, between itself and the
outside atmosphere. The device is heavily
shielded by conventional reckoning - the
Faraday Cage idea. I can report that the
Spider will produce the same effects of rain
inside a strong high pressure cell just as
though it were on the ship's Dying bridge.
The ether does not "see" the steel, and the
Spider functions "normally". There may
well be astroclimatological consequences,
but the observed and recorded effects are
almost certainly not astroclimatologically
initiated. The ability of a Spider generator
to work right through heavy steel plate, is
something else that orthodoxy is going to
have to choke down- along with operations-
like Clincher.
All these matters lead into the realm of
lawful Cosmic activity to which Dennis
draws attention. Scientists of a new genera-
tion and a new mentality, will be busy for
centuries codifying and investigating all this
in the sciences of tomorrow. While I accept
that there is both physical risk and karmic
risk in what I have initiated, greater risks
are occasioned, and heavier restrains would
be justified, for example, against aeronau-
tics. Each day, thousands of airliners tear
the etheric world to shreds, roughshodding
without any comprehension, over the Earth's
vital systems. No damage my Spiden are
capable of, could compare with the world-
wide life-negative consequences of all
progress. One of the consequences of
progress into the etheric must inevitably be
the nullification of the worst consequences
of a technical and scientific order erected
upon ignorance of Life and denial of the
ethers.
Trevor James Constable
Hauula, Hawaii
Thank you for a further clarification of your
work, Trevor. In 1987-88 I was studying the
work of Luke Howard (Essay on the Modifi-
cation of Clouds, circa 1803) and spent quite
a bit of time studying cloud modifications. I
came to realize that the greatest impact that I
saw in cloud formation came from jet planes.
Their trails would modify into many different
types of clouds, depending on atmospheric
status. Wilhelm Reich used the jet trail activ-
ity as a signature of the ambient status of
orgone energy. I have also seen a video of
Trevor laying down a rain line in a 1028mb
high, with visual sighting by day, and radar
screen by night. We would like to keep an
ongoing dialogue among BSRF Members on
this subject, and we will be running more
information on Dennis Klocek's astroclimato-
logical research.

FREE ENERGY?
I would like to know if BSRF bas worked
with self-sustaining energy systems such as
the AEROPS engine invented by Robert
Gordon Britt?
R..F. Directo, Mountain View, CA
I do not know of the AEROPS engine, and
would certainly like to get more details. Self
sustaining generators have to be seen and
tested to be believed. Paperwork and partially
revealing video;treally dont count. Over the
years many Bordetlanders have worked with
this concept. I have to say, that for all the
energy anomalies I have seen described by
experiment, I have yet to see a functioning
self-sustaining generator. Many have so
claimed, but there is no physical proof that you
or I could examine today. However, there are
many energy anomalies that have been pre-
sented over the years, and if the focus is an all
encompassing one, taking all the parameters
into account, rather than a focus on so-called
''free energy then real progress will be made.
Otherwise we have a scattered field of re-
search that jumps at every popular concept and
evFY 9mm of free energy. For example the
terl:n ''scalar waves' was coined without any
exact experiment to justify the new term, it
was merely applied to other's non;.related
works. Now people are trying in many ways to
defme and prove this inert concept. The gallop
came before the horse! I mention this because
we have received calls from people who want
"scalar wave generators" and when I ask
them what a scalar wave is they never know!
On the other hand we have the concept of the
etheric which comes to us from a time when
earth people directly experienced the natural
and supernatural forces. The discursive con-
sciousness was not focused like it is in our
present stage of development. One must raise
the awareness. Life, and hence energy, does
not arrive from cancellation of opposites, but
from rhythms between polarities. Tesla rhyth-
micallystrokedthelifeenvelopeoftheearthin
his successful electrical transmission experi-
ments. And I appreciate people like Larry
Spring who has developed a working model of
energy completely from physical experiment.
Larry is the f1rst to admit that his spherical
explanation may not be a complete concept,
but that the model fits his experiments -- and
he is constantly probing for any experimental
work that would modify his viewpoint. The
sphere is the basic shape of the cosmos, and
Larry has shown that radiated transverse elec-
tromagnetic energy can be measured as spheri-
cal units with specific size related to fre-
quency. When one works with this concept in
the imagination they can weigh for themselves
how it can be applied to experiments in energy
generation. TJB

mittal on what effects are actually going on.
None-the-less the article claims that people in
airplanes are at risk from the large solar flares
of this cycle, and that some of the radiation
normally damped by the atmosphere is reach-
ing the ground. It claims the info is in dispute,
including the related concept of solar cycle
influences on earth's weather, but perhaps
they have overlooked books such as: SUN-

SYMPATHETIC VIBRATORY PHYSICS
TRAINING & CERTIFICATION CouRSE - LEVEL I
Sympathetic Vibratory Physics is concerned with the study and application of the known and yet to be known aspects of
the Universal Creative Forces. These forces manifest to us as vibration. Since everything in the universe vibrates, an in depth study
of the inner nature and function of vibration and vibratory physics Is absolutely essential if we are to arrive at a better scientific and
philosophical-paradigm for the future.
This home study training course in Sympathetic Vibratory Physics is designed to convey an insight and understanding of
the basic principles operating within the universe. Many people are familiar with the concept of vbration but lack basic knowledge of
the fundamentals. Fundamentals of vibration learned in this class can be successfully applied to any numl:)er of fields of worlc electronics,
music, therapy (of diverse forms), psychology, vibration analysis; philosophy. art and mechanics. The fields of ultrasonics, music and color
therapy. wave technology. vibroscience, vibration analysis. sound and noise pollution control, Non-Destructive Testing & Evaluation and
related disciplines are some of the fastest growing job markets implying that applied vibration will have a greater role in the future.
Sympathetic Vibratory Physics was first introduced in the late 1880s by John Ernst Worrell Keely (1827-1898). His
revolutionary pioneer work has yet to equaled by modern science. Mr. Keely discovered and demonstrated the fundamental basis of
all natural phenomena is vibration. His completed work is a wholistic science and philosophy that respects nature and gives us a gender
and more pervasive way to understand and deal with energy. matter. our selves and each other.
More and higher levels of certification are being prepared. This Basic Theory course will be a prerequisite for all the subsequent
courses. No mathematics and engineering concepts are In this basic course. These are being reserved for future training courses of
a more specific nature. Without the basics little progress can be expected in the more complex and involved courses to follow. New
courses will focus on health and healing. mechanical, psychology, energy, color therapy, music therapy, social, electrical, atomic and
molecular applications. Qualified students (in their respective field) may become a Certified SVP Instructor. Inquire about this unique
opportunity.
Course material includes SVP- Compendium ofTenns & Phrases with over 3,200 entries, a $29.95 value. Certification
also grants you a one year membership in The International Keely Society, a $60.00 value which also includes a one year subscription
to Sympathetic Vibratory Physics, a monthly publication exploring the vibratory nature of the Universe, a $48.00 value. -Cost for

On July 11, 1991, we here at the Bor-
derlands were fortunate to veiw what had
been termed the solar eclipse of the cen-
tury. Although our viewing did not rival
what could be seen in Mexico or Hawaiiit
was still quite a $peCtacular event. From
.

about 10:20 AM (pacific time) until about
12:20 PM, we were able to witness our
partial view of the solar eclipse through all
ofitsstages. Up to this time we considered
.many of the various methods for viewing
1
the sun and its eclipse. The first device we
tried out was the traditional pinhole box
, which allows one to see a very small pro-
jected image of the sun. This really did not
have the clarity desired and it also gets
rether hot with your head stuffed inside a2

enclosure for any length oftime. Filters
were also considered, but we really wanted
to see what was happening in the actual
light of the day. Finally, after searching
through an assortment of books on as-
tronomy, we found a 17th century-depic-
tion of two Jesuit scientists using an appa-
ratus to view sunspots (see below). The
apparatus consists of using a long-focus
telescope to project the image of the sun on
to a viewing surface such as. a white card.
We didn 'thave along scope available to us
but apairof8 x 40 binoculars worked quite
well. The binoculars were attached to a
tripod which in turn was mounted to a
ladder, lifting the scope about 6 feet off of
the ground. The projection surface lay on
the ground almost directly below as the
high angle of the sun demanded it. A2

piece of cardboard had to be fastened to the
eyepieces of the binoculars to shade the
viewing area from surrounding light and
one of the eyepieces was left covered so as
only to project one image. This apparatus
gave us a fairly detailed image of the .sun
about 6" jn diameter. You may not be able
to setup to see an eclipse for another
forty years, but it is an excellent tool for
viewing sunspots and their motions. We
noted several sunspots alld it was very easy
to followtheirapparentpath oftravel across
the face of the sun. Youmaywantto catalog
their details and motions over certain peri-
ods of time and this can be done by tracing
their details right on the viewing card each
day. All told, it is a very simple way of
obtaining good results. MBT
