understanding the formationof he earth, whichwould include all the life thereon, human,animal, plant and mineral (yes, even the rocksare alive in a sense). The orthodox theories ofgeological formation ustdon t fit with the way thatthe land looks.

i ~ composed of such bizarre rocks in thenorthwest comer of Death Valley NationalMonument. On subsequent expeditions wewill gather further details and attempt to discover the mineral composition of hese rocks.As this is a national monument, no samplesmay be taken.But the desert in the Four Comers area isofa different quality. In this starkly beautifuldesert landscape, split with deep canyons,with mesas that rise to breathtaking heightfrom the red desert floor, the walls and cliffsglowing rose-red in the sunset, extraordinarycolumns and spires carved against the intenseblue sky, vestiges of his once vast civilisationare found, structures that have survived forcenturies preserved by the same harsh desertheat that makes human survival so precarious.Layer upon layer of rock can be seen in thecanyons, some bearing life-prints of someancient life form that somehow got coveredupwith further layers of rock.Far from being a mere handful of sitesmade available to tourists in glossy pamphlets, these stone ruins, or wrecks asthey're known, are foundthroughout the FourComers Area. We hadno idea when we set outon our expedition, just how extensive theseprehistoric civilisations actually were. Wehad heard ofMesaVerde, Chaco Canyon andCanyon de Chelly, and we had come acrosssuch place names as Hovenweep and Pueblo

Grande from Corliss' amazing research. Butthey were just the tip of the iceberg ..Thousands ofthese ruins exist, hundredswhich have been excavatedby archaeologists,showing a common archaic root which spreadout and diversified into such civilisations asthe Anasazi, the Hohokam, and Mogollon. Tothe Navajo who came to the area later, theAnasazi were the Ancient Ones . We haveno idea what they called themselves, they leftno written records, onlypetroglyphs inscribedin the rock.

It is to the Anasazi we look for the advanced architecture and superb stonemasonry ..as well as the mystery which surrounds their origin and after hundreds ofyearsofliving and thriving in this region, their rapidand unexplained disappearance and the abandonment of their pueblos.

The enigmatic pictographs of the Ancientsleave one wondering what sort ofspiritsmake these strange lands their home. Whilesome of the formations can be attributed to' 'natural'' geological evolution, some of hemlook like they were build by a giant, artistichand, and that is the conclusion we are holdingto right now.

We visited the Hopi mesas in 1986. Thecity of Oraibi has been continually occupiedsince 1,000 A.D. On the tip of he First Mesaat the village ofWalpi, overlooking the desertfloor with the San Francisco peaks in the

distance, one can fmd a dinosaur and deer print next to eachother in stoneat the point wherethe Kachinas land.The remnants of an ancient civilization lay scatteredabout the desert. Most peoplejust think of the pueblos whenthey think of he natives of hatarea, but there are many mysterious buildings, square andcircular towers of the fmestmasonry skills laying at seemingly random spots around thecanyons. There are ruins ofgiant masonry cities with largekivas, circular subterraneanchambers representing the transition from one world to thenext, which may well be dimensionalportals for the higherbodies. The cliff dwellings atMesa Verde are but one smallpartofthisvastnetwork, whichincluded large irrigations systems over hundreds of squaremiles.IRSTCONTACT

Inside a well preserved kiva at Mule Canyon Ruin Mule CanyonRuin was the

frrst indication we found of he extremely fmc:masonry characteristic of the Anasazi. Thhwas a great vantage pointjust offHighway9overlooking a vast expanse of sagebrush ancjuniper covered terrain.

A few yards away a cluster of rregular stone rooms were also connected to thkiva via another tunnel.Through a Q ance meeting with a womarwho knew the aiea well, we learned of thlocation ofcliffdwellings on BLM (Bureau olLand Management) land and discovered Ow:Creek Canyon where smooth moonlike rocklopen unexpectedly into deep canyons.

cuses to the centre of he wall, and at Wintersolstice, light is focussed through anotherport, falling into the northwest comer.

At the Cajon Group, about 6 miles fromHovenweep Castle, more portholes in a toweradmit light from the setting solstice and equinox sun. There is also evidence to show thatthe shadow from another building moves fromshortly after the Fall equinox to cover thewestern wall of the tower at the Winter solstice sunset. The shadow then reverses itspath until the Spring .eqWnox, when bothbuildings are unshadowed. Then the shadowof the tower moves to slowly ~ over thewestern building until some time near theSummer Solstice. It could e as the authorsof Prehistoric stronomy in the Southwestsuggest - a giant seasonal sundial deliberately constructed by the Anasazi.

Perhapsthe most dramatic celestial alignment at Hovenweep is near Holly House"where the Anasazi carved two spirals and asun symbol onto a large boulder. Other boulders form a natural tunnel through whichshafts ofsunlight focus at the Spring equinoxand then again near the Summer solstice, atwhich 'the rising sun throws two narrowbeams of light onto the spirals and the sunsymbol .

across the canyon.Although official literature describesthese structures as dwellings the fact is that noone knows what their function really wasWhy should hese people go to so much troubleto build these structures as homes? They looklike fortresses, rivalling mediaeval Europeancastles with their fme masonry. But if theywere fortresses there has been no trace ofwarfare discovered. The doors are very small,some opening onto sheer rock cliff face, accessible only by ladder - or wings Thearchitecture is highly advanced and imaginative. One of he most striking is a square towerbuilt on top ofa boulder with sheer sides some20 feet down to the canyon floor. While theboulder comes to a point at the top, the toweris buttressed and built so that its floor is quiteflat. Hand and toeholds up the boulder are theonly way to reach the small doorway.

Inside the towers, some ofwhich are wellpreserved and some with their walls fallenaway, are remains of wooden beams whichseem to divide the levels, and portholes builtinto the walls. These apertures caught ourattention because of heir clever engineering,and because many are angled and carefullymortared inside. Some have defmite celestialalignments testifYing to a very close and detailed observation of the sun, and possiblyother stellar movements, and there are hundreds of hese apertures, some pointing to thedesert floor, others to nearby buildings, andstill others to every direction of he sky. Theseholes were obviously very important for thebuilders of these towers and were no doubtintegumented into their function.

Hovenweep Castle, so-called, is built onthe rim of the main canyon, with aD-shapedtower and other rooms attached. A rectangular room attached to the south h s been shownto be a solar observatory with alignments forthe solstices and equinoxes. Two wall portholes and the cliffside door focus the light atsunset at the Winter solstice. Light passingthrough the south side port casts the last raysof he sun on the lintelof he north door inside.At the equinox, light passingthrough the south door at anarrow angle focuses on thelintel of the inside door tothe east. At the Summersolstice light is focussed onthis same spot through thewestern port.

The more we pondered the mysteries ofHovenweep, the stranger these towers seemed.OK to build one solar observatory with greateffort, but why several in the same area? Thiscouldn' t have been purelyan agricultural calendar complex as the anthropologists assume.

Another structure,unimaginatively called''Unit-Type House'', only afew hundred yards fromHovenweep Castle andperched on a large boulder,isanotherobservatory. Consisting of a kiva and sixrooms, the eastern room hasfour portholes built into thewall. Three of these portsfocus the first direct light ondays near the solstices andequinoxes. At Summer solstice light is cast from thenorth port into the southwestern comer of the room.DuringSpringandFalleqwnoxes the port next to it fo-

Surely after thousands of years the peoplecouldtell by looking at the constellations, andby feeling the sun's changing warmth, andeven by watching the desert plants sproutingand the birds nesting, when to plant their cometc. The feeling grew that these towers weresome type of initiatory chambers, and it alsoappeared - because of the incredible qualityof the masonry - that these buildings wereintentionally smashed when their purpose wasfulfilled. With sites of incredible esotericengineering, one cannot take the chance forthe uninitiated to stumble through and interfere with the connections.MESAVERDEEast of Hovenweep, past Sleeping UteMountain - from where a slumbering giantwill someday arise-- onto the high tablelandsof Mesa Verde in Colorado, the largest andmost awesome cliffdwellings of he Anasaziare found. From the top of this huge mesaapproaching storm clouds obliterated our viewof the distant horizon. Heavy snow wasfollowing close behind. But, fortunately, theclouds parted long enough for us to view someof these spectacular ancient pueblos.

Below the canyon rims thecliffdwellingsare situated in rock alcoves; according toarcheology they date from the 13th century.Within the confmes of Mesa Verde NationalPark, sharing the mesa with Ute Tribal Park,

Cliff Palace , the largest cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde

nearly 600 cliff dwellings have been discovered, over 60 of hem along the 15 mile lengthofNavajo Canyon alone. The largest is CliffPalace, containing more than 200 hundredrooms and 23 kivas -- a small city ofmultistoried rooms built of sandstone blockscarefully shaped and mortared to

gether. Square Tower House, another cliff dwelling we viewedfrom the canyon rim, is named forits multistoried tower built againstthe large alcove wall, along withadjoining rooms and kivas.

We are told that the pueblo dwellers.whbad lived close to thei r agricultural land on thtop of he mesa moved down into the canyonnear to the natural springs, building thesdwellings which are reached mainly by h nand toe holds carved into the sandstone wallSome are coded, so you would have to knmwhich foot to begin with in order not to comto a sticky end while climbing the sheer roc:cliff. It has been suggested that the peoplmoved into these caves for defensive pwposes, but, as with Hovenweep, no traces owarfare have been found. These pueblodemonstrate a massive construction projec1from pithouses on the mesa top to these wholtowns built in caves, and yet they were appatently only inhabited for up to 100 years. Wb;were they abandoned? There are great secrethere that the archaeologists will never be ablto unravel in their present state of mind.

At Spruce Tree House wejoined a ranger's tour, the onlyway you're allowed to see thispueblo up close, and passing by asmall spring in the canyon, wefollowed a trail to the large natural cave protected by an overhanging cliff. Here an opencourtyardhas a large three-storied wallfronting many rooms deeper inthe cave, in all over 100 rooms,and 8 kivas in the front. Entranceto the rooms is gained by smallrectangular and curious T -shapeddoorways which look like keyholes, a motif found throughoutMesa Verde architecture, and another mystery.

Plan of Sun Temple" on Mesa Verdethe solstices and equinoxes, is an enigmaticand haunting example of he Anasazi mysteries. Work on it is thought to have beenabandoned before it was ever completed, al-though the atmosphere here is still chargedwith the energies of ancient ritual.

The entire Four Comers area was abandoned by 1300. Although there was a severedrought, the people had survived more severedroughts in the past. It is a true mystery whythe Anasazi disappeared from such a largearea with such fmality, leaving no one behind.In some of the ruins at Mesa Verde, theinhabitants seemingly intended to return, leaving cups, bowls, sandals, and other domesticitems carefully arranged.'' But they nevercame back. According to authors Malvilleand Putnam, extreme sunspot activity between 1100 and 1387, and peaking at 1200,known as the Medieval Maximum, may havebeenrelated to the abandonmentof heir homesby the Anasazi people: ' 'In he Four ComersRegion there is clear and direct evidence of aserious climate change. Pollen analysis andtree ring studies indicate that the region washit by a devastating combination of droughtand cold beginning approximately in A.D.1200 .. At that time there was apparently asudden change to cold and dry weather thatcontinued for 600 years.But to where did they disappear? Nolarge burial sites have been found, in fact, farfewer bodies have been discovered than thelarge number ofpeople who once lived in thecliff dwellings. Their descendants are foundamong the Hopi and New Mexico PuebloIndians.Astute researchers have noted that thebubonic plague wiped out large parts of theworld population from 1334 to 1351, the sameperiod that theAnasazi andHohokam culturesdeclined rapidly.3 Ifone considers such ideasas that some diseases may be carried fromdeep space on comets then such a globalscenario is possible -- but still, where are thedesert dweller's bones?

ZTEC RU NSAztec is one of the major prehistorictowns of the Southwest. Not built by theAztecs as the early pioneers thought, but the

Anasazi, this is one of the many sitesfound within a 100 mile radius of thegreat Chaco Canyon centre, about 40miles southeast of Mesa Verde. One ofthe principle roads from Chaco Canyonled directly to Aztec, situated close tothe lifeblood of the Animus River.The excavated part of the ruins islarge showing remarkable engineeringand careful architectural planning. Theshaped and dressed stones show a highdegree of crafting. Apparently in historic

times the Pueblo women did most of he rockwork, and may also have been responsible forthe intricate stone work in prehistoric times, aview which overturns the general preconceptions ofwhich sex did what work, presented inmuseum displays etc. The anthropologistshold fast to a patriarchal overview of prehistoric cultures, especially regarding spiritualor community leadership, without any evidence to support their theories. There are owritten records to tell us the details of theAnasazi daily life. Any reconstructed pictures are drawn purely from the artist's ownimaginationto fit in with the currently acceptable theories or world view. We gained theimpressionthat the desert dwellers were guildsocieties-- their pottery, weaving, stonework,agriculture and hunting skills bespeak an ordered transmission of knowledge within thespecific clans.Someof he pueblo wallsat Aztec reachednearly 30" high. Over 500 rooms and morethan two dozen kivas surround a plaza whichhas the only reconstructed Great Kiva within.In ancient times four massive pillars up theceiling be ms which supported a roofwhoseoriginal weight has been estimated at 9 tons

And these people are considered primitiveThe Chaco people who apparently builtthis town abandoned it around 1200. LaterMesaVer de people inhabitedit briefly before

deserting it forever in the latter 1200s.Driven south by a heavy snowstorm wewere unable to visit the great Anasazi centre

of Chaco Canyon. Even as we wanderedaround the deserted ruins ofAztec flurries ofsnow swept autumn leaves into piles againstthe stone walls. The kivas, cold and rooflessseem to echo the o i c e ~ ofpeople long gone.They seem to wait, sacred and protected forthe Ancient Ones to return. They urge us toconsider the sacred life, a way oflife in whichthe spirit permeated all, where art and beautyfound an extraordinarily high level ofexpression; where so many could live together inharmony with nature at such close quarters.They were farmers and hunters, but primitive? Our cities in comparison are sprawlingand chaotic, built without any guiding spiritual values or concern for nature. Who, wemay ask, are the real primitives ...CH CO C NYONChaco Canyon, a target site for our nextexpeditioli, is one of the great puzzles of theAmerican desert. Hundreds of miles of oadsbranch out from the canyon, over 15 feet wideover perfectly straight distances of up to 25miles at a stretch, and lined with moundedearth curbs - an astounding engineering feat.At one time in the American westall roads ledto Chaco Canyon, then the center of everything, now the middle of nowhere.

rotating at vast speed, all layers sharing acommon center and axis. As the originalwarmth body began to cool, igneous rockformed the core (probably a rock canopyaround some inner life-ether source) whichhad this canopy above at a distance. Thesuperior planets, mistakenly called the gasgiants, are similar cores with their canopiesand rings still intact for the most part. As timewent on various portions of he canopy fell toearth causing mass extinction (no, it wasn't ameteor that got the dinosaurs, but a regulatedprogression of the planetary organism), andthe water falling later caused the geologicallyshort-lived ice ages, which melted and raisedthe seas 12,000 feet from their earliest levelsin stages. Periodically minerals would precipitate out and fall to the inner surface creating the stratification found in sedimentaryrock (which for the most part is on top of herock that it supposedly wore down from ).

Whileprofoundinitsinsights, the canopytheory is lacking in any awareness ofany lifeprocess causing the formation of the planets.Rudolf Steiner claimed that the early planetearth was a single large being - like a head inspace. For the sake of rying to build a picturein the imagination let's place this at the stageof he canopy. All he minerals, metals, sands,stones, etc. are precipitated from the life process of he canopy-being. The individualizedforms of life began to form on the core,developing as the canopy deteriorated. Thefmal fall ofwater- Noah's flood-- was thelast of he canopy and a major stage on the wayfor the planetary consciousness to incarnate

into conscious form. The Fall -- what else isit? This would be the stage of transitionindicated in Julian Jaynes' Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, and would also fit in with manyother theories of the evolution of consciousness. This could very well mean that Jupiter,Saturn, etc., still have dinosaurs, or other suchcreatures But it also indicates that the supe.rior planets are still living, singular intelligences, unlike earth which now has parasiticlifeforms living on itsdecayingbody. It alsoindicates that WalterRussell was perhapsmistaken and II Basin NPGuenther Wachsmuthwas correct on the implication of thesaturnian typeof ingsnow known on all thesuperior planets.Russell said theyshowed decay -- aslater stages of planetarylife. Wachsmuthshowed them aslayerings of ethericlife. Earth may haveonce had rings, alongwith the canopy.

This all ties inwith advanced Qabalistic insights. TheQabalah describes alayering ofconcentric

spheres, as well as the distribution in space ofthe sun and plauets. We can wonder whetherthe sun is an advanced planet, a young one, orperhaps something completely inverse alongthe lines of projective geometry Whateverthe full story, the canopy theory helps explainthe incredible and mysterious deser t canyonsand is an important tool for the refmed imagination.

Somehow he people, therocks, theplants,are all tied in with the canopy theory. Knowledge must have fallen ftam somewhere also.Different races, mystery traditions, etc., allevolved out ofdifferent organs/sections of hecanopy consciousness. A vast field of newideas is implied by these concepts.

Let's speculate whether the atmosphericcritters Trevor Constablediscovered,Amoebaconstablea are perhaps what is left of theetheric life of he canopy; theymay be holdersof vast knowledge which cannot be directlytransmitted from their form to ours. Wewould probably not know they were eventhere ifhe hadn't discovered them in his reachbeyond the borders of he senses. And it is thedesert which gives us many opportunities toread the past, scry the future, and make ourpresence a positive evolutionary one.REFERENCES1 Prehistoric Astronomy in the Southwest, Malville

February 9, 1991 Doug Doe of Mendocino, California loaned me a little solarmotor, which I placed in the window of myelectromagnetic experimentation shop at 225Redwood Ave. in the town of Fort Bragg,California, on the Mendocino coast.Doug Doe had constructed this superblysimple solar motor from his own thoughts andimagination, coupled with input from BobBlick, a local electronic wizard and teacher.Bob had built a small pilot solar motor someyears ago using a solar cell mounted on a coilwound around a spool from the center ofa rollof scotch tape.Doug Doe no doubt had some ideas hewishedto work out with solarenergy, as hehad purchased some solar cells during thesolar EnergyExpo Rally held in Willits,California, August 11 12, 1990. DougDoe frrst showed me his beautifully designed Mendocino Brushless Solar Motoraround the end of 1990.The unique part of this self startingmotor is that the solar cells are mountedright on the armature of the motor. Thecell, turned to face the sun as the armaturerotates, energizes the coil between the twoceramic permanent magnets. The permanent magnet field rejects the circular magnetic field around the coil wires, thus causing the armature to rotate to expose thenext solarcell, and the process is repeated.The armature rotation is timed by the sunand the armature s own rotation. Thearmature, composed ofa balsa wood block,solar cells, coils and piano wire shaft,placed in the magnetic field between twoceramic magnets, completes the workingpart of the motor. The rest is a structurethat holds the magnets and provides abearing for the armature shaft.About April 15, 1991 I constructed myfrrst Mendocino Brushless Solar Motor, andby May 24, 1991 I had constructed number 5I changed the design on each to see which oneI liked best.Mounting solar cells right on the armature may have far reaching use for home andindustry, but as an experimenter I would liketo see it used as a teaching tool for kids.

Well, after a two year sabbatical, rback. Unfortunately, I can't say by populardemand". Yes,someofyoumissme,Iknow,but there has not been a ubiquitous pleadingfrom the masses for my return. I quit writingthis column because I just didn't have thetime. Well, I still don't. But as an excuse, itjust doesn't work anymore. This time, however, I may indulge, not only in the ' 'facts'' asIseethem, butalsoinsomecommentary. Mypeculiar biases have evolved considerablysince 1989, and I feel they are no longer fullyconfinable. With that warning, IWillproceed.For those of you who are new to theJournal, this column is for people who aren'tafraid to get their hands dirty. Its for thosepeople who don't always believe what theyare told, because they already know better.And we know better because we see for ourselves. We take other people's pretty littlebeliefs and take them apart on the laboratorywork bench. Yes, we are science's' bad boyson the block . There are no mean scienceteachers here to tell us it can't be done .Even if there were, we'd do it anyway So,let's get started, let's take something apart.Today's topic is LIGHf. For over 15years I have been deeply interested in lightand have done a fair amount of esearch on thesubject. It is from this platform that I nowoffermy insights. I was frrst introduced to theidea that light could be used to heal the bodyback in the mid-70's. My initial response tothis preposterous concept was to rightly dismiss it without a second thought. After all,colors are pretty, but that'sabout it. Little didI know at the time, but I had fallen in with agroup of people who had studied a simplifiedDinshah color healing system. Within a yearof this self-righteous dismissal, I had themisfortune ofactually lying down and shiningsome colored light on my body. The effectwas dramatic t almost immediately curedme ofmy sophomoric world view. Unfortunately, the cure was not permanent and I havehad many relapses into a state of imaginingthat I know more than I actually do. n spiteof his, God still loves me and I have becomean avid experimentalist.Most ofthe popular myths about light canbe attributed to the work of John Ott. He haspublished a number of books on his research

and is also the developer of he VITA-LIGHfand the new OTI Light systems. He has beenone of the primary popularizers of the fullspectrum' myths that are almost commonknowledgenow. Ott'sexperimentaldatalooksimpressive to the untrained eye. What he hasrepeatedly tried to prove is that plants grownunder artificial light grow better when thespectrum of light emitted by the artificialsource (light bulb) is similar to that of sunlight. Now, for anyone schooled in our brandof science, the idea, that plants that haveevolved for millions of years in an environmentthatincludes sunlight might have adaptedto it and now may even prefer it to man-made light, is no great scientific leap offaith. Most ofus would say so what else isnew? ButMr. Ott is a mechanist. He has notincorporated the works of Steiner, Reich,Dinshah or Sheldrake and he knows nothingof he nature of ight but its colors. Mr. Ott'sidea of full spectrum" light is that it issupposed to be like sunlight. I agree with himon this point. But let's see how far this goes.The new Ott Light systems are marketedby a company in Santa Barbara, California,whereiusedtolive. OnanumberofoccasionsI visited the office and was shown all of theinside scoop on this' amazing technical breakthrough. ' A one foot by two foot lightingfJXture costs about $300. It consists of wo, 2foot long fluorescent tubes and a smal ler tubein the center. The larger tubes provide thevisible spectrum and the smaller tube provides UV (ultra-violet). The ends of thefluorescent tubes are shielded with lead foil toblock the soft x-ray emissions that Mr. Ottfound was killing his plants. And, the frontpanel has a grounded screen across it to blockEM (electro-magnetic) emissions. All in all,it is the best and the safest fluorescent lightingfixture I have seen. But I still don 't want one.Many amazing and wonderful claims aremade for this lighting system and I don'tdoubt any of hem. After all,Mr. Ott's experimental research is impeccable. Is this systembetter than all previous fluorescent light systems? To my knowledge, yes, it is muchbetter. A number of mportant improvements,listed above, are incorporated. Is this lightfixture emitting light that even remotely resembles sunlight? The answer, s NO.

So, what is the problem? To fmd out,spent some time with my good friend, RogeModjeski. Roger is an electrical engineer anan audio circuit designer. We borrowed an 01Light from the company and went to workhis Santa Barbara facility, RAM Labs. Walso had two other fluorescent light systems ttest. One was a standard unit and the otllerwaa ' 'high efficiency'' unit with a solid-statballast and power supply. Roger also rigge,up a bench model of a power supply to drivthe fluorescerlt tubes with direct current. Whad a widevariety ofprobesto look at curren1voltage, wave forms, light emission andradiation, all on an oscilloscope. Whatevewas happening, we were going to fmd out.So, here are some of the highlights owhat we found. All of he systems that ran o:power from the wall (117 VAC) suffered froiJthe same problems. The most significant owhich is the light intensity variation. Thisis easy to duplicate. We simply connectedsilicon solar cell to the oscilloscope anviewed the wave form. n sunlight, thisset-up produced a flat line on the screeiindicating two things: the voltage produce'apd the continuous nature of he light. Wheexposed to the light from any of the fluorescent fixtures, it produced a wavy line thavaried from zero to maximum, 120 times pesecond (40,000 times per second for the soli'state unit). We were seeing a 100% lighintensity variation. It means that a room Uonly by fluorescent lights is actually completely dark 120 times per second Needlesto say, the sun is not going on and off 2times per second, but a fluorescent lightTheeyemaynot see this, but it all registerin the nervous system. This effect is responsible for one of the major irritations associated with fluorescent lighting, and the 1Light system was no different than an ordinary one, in this respect.So, why is this happening? Essentiall)the problem begins withtheAC power. Alternating current, by its very nature, is constant :changing. The voltage rises to 117 v o t ~then drops to zero, then drops further to 11 volts and then rises again to zero. This icalled one cycle. Since the power coming ouof the wall is 60 cycles per second, and th'voltage moves through two points each cydwhen the voltage is zero, the voltage is zer1120 times per second. When the voltage izero, the fluorescent light goes out.So why not power the fluorescent bulbwith DC? Here's what we found out whenwdid. A typical40 watt fluorescent tube (4 foolong tube) runs on about 100 volts. But it wilnot star t on 100 volts. The bulbwill only staiglowing after i t is shocked with a quick bursofabout 350 volts, and this only when the litH

heater coils at each end are warmed with somecurrent at 3 volts. Once glowing, the plasmabetween the ends of the tube behaves like anegative resistance. The 40 watt bulb ran onabout .4 amps at 100 volts ( 4a x 1OOv 40w).When we gave the bulb 5 amps it got brighter,but only drew 95 volts This unusual situationrequires the tube to be powered by a currentlimiting power supply to prevent the bulbfrom blowing up due to current run-away. Theother problem we saw when running the tubeon DC was that the end of the tube beingsupplied by the negative was brighter than theend connected to the positive. With all ofthese problems, don't hold your breath waiting for a DC powered fluorescent ftxture to befor sale anytime soon.So we are back to AC. Believe it or not,the AC power supplies (the ballast) effectively deliver to the tube all of hese requirements. At the beginning ofeach cycle, it jolt sthe tube with 350 volts and then holds thevoltage around 100 volts for a while beforeturning the tube offat the half-cycle. Interestingly, the inductance of the ballast and thenegative resistance of the fluorescent tubeplasma work against each other to create aparasitic oscillation in the supply voltage atabout 2500 cycles per second. This parasiticoscillation can also be seen in the supplycurrent and in the magnetic fteld of he ballasttransformer. It is the primary source of thehum that fluorescent light ftxtu.res make. It isalso the reason for the high levels of ELF

NOTICE: INVESTORS WANTEDBSRF is interested in re-establishing its"free energy" research laboratory in the nearfuture. Afte r reviewing the technology in this

field for a number of years and realizing thatNO ONE has orwill be allowed to bring a trueself-running engine to the commercial marke tanytime soon, we propose a commercial venture using the following technology.A very interesting process has come toour attention that allows for the production ofHEAT using permanent magnets. Since mostof the energy consumption in our currenteconomic structure is based on heat production, we feel that this process could sell verywell if embodied in the following products.The first product we propose the development of is an electric portable space heaterthat could produc e three times more heat perwatt of electricity than the currently availablespace heater. The unit would be similar in sizeto other portable heaters but could produce5000 BTU's of heat using only about 500 wattsinstead of the usual 1500 watts. This would

magnetic pollution associated with fluorescent lights. All of the systems we testedbehaved this way, even the Ott Light. Rogerand I concluded that since the OttLight did notaddress the light intensity variation problemor the magnetic pollution problem, it was notworth the extra money. We gave the test unitback.So, you may ask, how do you get realartiftcial sunlight? How do you get fu llspectrum'' light you can live with? We nextwent back and looked at some ordinary incandescent bulbs. Powered on AC, a regular lightbulb also exhibits a light intensity variation.This fluctuation is between 100% intensityand 60% intensity, a 40% variation, at thesame rate as the fluorescent ftxtures of 120times per second. Again, this variation is instep with the AC power.

Only an incandescent bulb powered byDC gave light at a continuously even rate.Only an incandescent bulb powered by DCgave light free ofx-rays, high frequency EMand ELF magnetic pollution. So, what aboutits spectral balance? Is it full spectrum"?According to all of he information I have, anincandescent light bulb produces what is referred to as "continuous spectrum". Thismeans that it produces all of he colors in thevisible spectrum. It also produces a fairamount of infrared (heat). For years I haveused a 100 watt incandescent spot light as thelight source for my Dinshah color healingsystem and I assure you, it can and does

make electric heat about as cheap as heatproduced by burning gas or wood. Thecommercial value of such a product should beobvious. Once the basic magnetic heatermodule is developed,it could be put into largerfurnaces and water heaters as well. Each of heenvisioned products offers a substantial improvement over its currently available counterpart, but does not inherently defy thepower structure. Because of this, we believethat these products will be accepted in thegeneral market and be able to captu re a sizablemarket share.

We are looking for an investor who, fora sizable percentage of the deal, is willing tofund the project from first prototypes tomarket. A number of patents are possible, soproprietary ownership is also part of thepackage. Initially, we believe that a 6 monthprototyping period could be funded for about$50,000. A complete investment prospectusis being prepared and will be available uponrequest.

A second project that could also be qu itelucrative is the development of a bicycle ligh t

produce all of the colors, right down to thedeep violets. But what about the UV Mr. Ottsays is so important? Its simple. The hotterthe bulb, the more UV i t produces.But what about the spectral balance?Ordinary fluorescent lights emit light that ispredominantly blue, while incandescentbulbsemit light that is heavy on the red end of hespectrum. The ' ' full spectrum'' Vita-Lightfluorescent tubes you can buy start out OKbut the materials inside the tube responsiblefor emitting the UV n d ~ t h e spectrum burnout in about 100 hours, leaving you with anordinary light at extra cost (this is whyMr. Ottabandoned this system to develop his newone). GE and some other European light bulbmanufacturers make a ' ' full spectrum'' incandescent bulb with enhanced blue and UVoutput. All of this research points me in thisdirection. If you run these full spectrum"incandescent bulbs on pure DC, you will every close to the artiftcial sunlight'' that thiswhole quest is about.

Ifany ofyou are interested,we have plansfor a 120 VACto 120 VDC converter that candeliver about 200 watts. Send us a selfaddressed. stamped envelope and $1.00, andwe'll send you the plans. We aren't publishing them here because 120 VDC is potentiallylethal andwe only want serious experimentersworking with it.Next time, we look at free energy"systems based on heat pumps.

In the middle ages scientists knew that thee rth was the center of he universe. The mostbrilliant people of the time went to extremeefforts to make their observations fit this fact.They were very successful at this and explainedall then available observations by combinationsofmathematics and philosophy. For example,the fact that some planets moved in complexpatterns waseasily handled mathematically. Asmore and more information became availablethe explanations became more and more complex. It got so that only a few especially giftedindividuals could underst and them. Copernicuspointed out that ifone assumed that the sun wasthe center of he universe many things becamesimpler. After about 200 years, Copernicusideas became generally accepted.

Is there anyone here that believes that i nnate human intelligence or, indeed, human nature has changed dramatically over the past 400years? Certainly current theoriesofmagnetism,light, gravityandrelativity arenotclearly understood by the average intelligent individual. I'msure everyone here understands them and canquite easily explain them to me. I l l settle for anexplanation of how these two magnets exertforces on each otherat a distance. It is generallyaccepted that the forces involved would be thesame in space, and the presence of he air or myfmgers exert very minor effects. The usualanswer has to do with the presence ofmagneticfields around the magnets. In other words, thenothing around one of these magnets changeswhen the orientation of he magnet is changed.

Prior to the turn of the last century, it waspretty much accepted that a medium existedthroughout space which somehow carried light,magnetism and possibly gravity, much as the aircarries sound. Faraday, Kelvin, Hertz and sometimes Maxwell were the leading exponents ofthis medium- the aether or ether. This conceptso simplified the understanding of magnetismthat it was used as a teaching tool when Iwent toschool -always with the caveat that there is nosuch ether.

The etherconceptdiedearly in his century.The direct cause of its death was the results ofinterferometer experiments of Michelson andMorley. It was believed that the earth in itsjourney around the sun must travel through theether. If this were the case, there must be an"ether wind" along the direction of motion.Michelson and Morely set up an experiment tomeasure the velocity of the ether wind. Theexperiment e p e n ~ o o on the interferenceof wolight waves which were outofphase. One of hewaves traveled down ether wind and then back

up etherwind while the other raveled across theether wind and back. They both traveled thesame distance relative to the apparatus. Theexperiment depended on the wave property oflight (the main reason the ether was invented).Regardless of the orientation of the apparatusthe results indicated that there was no etherwind. This was taken as proof hat there wasnoether. Since this time, physical phenomena hadto be explained without benefit of an ether.Theoretical physics became difficult for someand incomprehensible to me. The seeds of herebirth of the ether were sown just as it wasdying.

The results ofexperimentsdescribed in thescientific literature in the first quarter of thiscentury and results of experiments I have performed more recently have lead me to the conclusion that there is, indeed, such an ether, andto a suggestion as to two components of theether. I will describe mostof hese experimentsin generalities and the simplest ones in somedetail. First I will try to arrive at these components philosophically. Since Iknow what wantthe answer to be, this should be easy.

Let's examine these magnets again. lamparticularly impressed when they repel eachother at a distance. It is generally accepted thatelectron spins in non-magnetic materials arerandom, while the spins of at least some of heelectrons in permanent magnets are aligned.This is an over simplification but electrons areeither paired and not available for magneticeffects or unpaired and available. If a piece ofiron is brought close to a magnet some of itsunpaired electrons tend to become aligned andthatpieceofiron becomes a magnet. Iron formsa softra therthan permanent magnet. Its electronspins will become randomly oriented soon afterit is removed from the permanent magnet. Mypoint is, the aligned electrons of he permanentmagnet aligned some of he unpaired electronsin the iron bar.

If he same iron bar is wrapped in a coil ofinsulted copper wire which is attached to a DCcurrent source, the barbecomes a magnet. If hecurrent source is removed from the wire the barloses its magnetism. This may indicate thatelectron spins in the wire tend to be orientedwhen a current is passing and random whenthere is no current. Possibly moving electronsare oriented. If here were electrons in the spacebetween magnets their orientation would beaffected by the magnets and magnetic forces ata distance and magnetic fields would be easilyunderstood. Ofcourse, a medium composed ofonly electrons would immediately disperse itselfdue to repulsion of he negatively chargedparticles. If space also contained properly distributed protons its chargewould be neutral andthe arrangement would be neutral in charge.Afte r all, a salt crystal is a similar combination of

negative and positive charges. It is quite t h l ~and as far as I know there is no salt crystal windAs a matter of fact a salt crystal has a dielectri.tams and Drown i n s t r u m n t ~represent physicil structures in space.wire resistors act like a resonant antenruwhich is tuned by setting the rates.

came to France the first person he wantedto see was L. I don't know anything aboutthis early period but two episodes occurredlater which gaveL. quite a bit of money andenabled him to finance his future researchhimself. 1) During the 1914 war, there wasa dearth of methylated spirits in Franceand L. negotiated supplies, on behalfof theFrench government, with the Russians. 2)He invented a gadge t which was used everywhere on the French railways and whichbrought in tidy sums in royalties. He wasthus able to invite titled people to his table,the Count of his and the Duke of that and,of course, Abbe Breuil. This curious clericwas very well known in France, not forsaintly endeavors on behalf of the Churchbut for his exploration of caves in search oftraces of early man. He became the ffighPriest ohfPre-ihihstoryh. However, h t i n ~ t e r -ests us ere s t at e was an extraor arymedium. For instance, L. at table, wouldsay something like this: "Abbe, I've justthought up a new design for the MWO(passing him the drawings) what do youthink of i t?" And the Abbe might reply:"The antenna's too thick here, you shouldtake 1 millimetre off and here, you areusing the wrong kind of metal." n thisway,L. gradually refined each model, usingthe Abbe's intuition to v erify his own fmdings, until he got it as near perfect as possible.

What follows is a translation of thenotes scribbled down by my friend yesterday. I offer no comments because I wouldn'tknow a Hertz dipole if I fell over one in thedark.These are some of the parameters takeninto consideration by L.1) Diameter: D.2) Thickness of he wire of he tube (not tobe confused with the section).3) Distance e between the two ends.4) Orientationof he circuitwith respecttothe horizontal plane (29 70' N).5) Kind of circuit. Should it be made ofmetal or hollow glass containing chemicalsalts.6) Orientation of the distance e withrespect to the magnetic North.7) Study of the terrain: the mineralogical,geological, geodesic and tectonic factors.8) Study of the nature of he surface ofthecircuit and whether and how it should becovered.I see now that what I had taken for solidrods making up the antenna were in realityhollow tubes.

I hope that you and your readers willfind this information interesting. t sheds anew light on howL. operated. He used the

has been most helpful to everyone trying tofmd the truth of the story, and I offer mythanks and I'm sure the thanks of BSRFmembers the world around. Georges Lakhovsky was a complex individual whose ideas oncell regeneration have ignited many a seekingmind. It seems as though he had some ratherinteresting friends also, Nikola Tesla, Professor D'Arsonval, and the curious Abbe BreuilYour friend's comments indicate some important factors in Lakhovsky' s considerations:He was very concerned about the orientationtowards the natural energetic lines of theearth even considering latitude (what youhave termed the horizontal plane) as a determining factor in the energetic output of hisdevices. He must have been aware of theinteraction of the electric output with theplanetary magnetic, electrostatic and ethericfields. He was also concerned about theunderlyingearth itself. nhis Secret ofLife heproposes his theory that cancers are morepredominant in areas where the soils (such as

clays) reflect the cosmic radiation back to thesurface, causing interference patterns that disrupt the body's energetic flows. It is interesting to note that his antennas were constructedwith all these factors involved. It is also veryinteresting that he relied on the pendulum andthe mediumshipofAbbe Breuil for his refmements. Lakhovsky was a true borderlandscientist Also of note is your point 5 mentioning the hollow glass circuit containingchemical salts. Something new to figure inour researches. We l s t 1 ~ v e the open question of whether or not some ofhis tube antennas contained rare gases, which his MWOTube Patent implies by its refmements inminiaturization. This has been an excitingperiod of discovering what Lakhovsky wasreally up to in his vast researches. Please readon ...A REAL LAKHOVSKY MWOThis schematic is from a LakhovskyMWO manufactured by Lakhovsky's son inParis long after the untimely death of hisfather in the 1940s. It shows defmitively thatthe development of the MWO followed thepath of radio-cellular oscillator and notthat suggested by the "Beck-style MWOs"which have been the type of equipment researched in the US over the last quarter century.

As far as our extensive research notesshow, this is the frrst real, complete schematicof a working Lakhovsky MWO that has beenpublished in the USThis unit, which fits in a small box thatcan be held in the hand, is a very powerfulwhite noise generator with a treatment coilconstructed from coax cable which is loopedaround the subject when in use. The treatmentcoil loop is 1 meter in length, the center wireand shield are connected. This unit willinterft?fe with electronic communication devices up to the satellite 1V range, andmay beillegal to operateunder FCC rules- this needsto be checked. The tube is an EL83, a French tube (Telefunken manual gives the Germannumber as PL83) whose US equivalent isgiven as a 6CK6 video output pentode, but GEnevermade them. It svery similar in functionto a 6CL6 which has a different pinout. Weprovide the pinouts for both.The 5 and 20 turn coils are Y2 inch diameter tightly wound with #20 plastic coatedwire.

We have no exact details of the interaction of this generation of Lakhovsky devicewith the human system, only that suggestedby Lakhovsky' s original research and its extension through time. This data is providedfor research purposes and to record yet another development in MWO research.We would still be most interested infmding the schematic of one of the originalMWOs pictured in Lakhovsky' s various publications, as it would provide the exact antenna feed for the concentric ring antennasand other pertinent details.Also, for those who have contacted usseekinga discount on the Electros tatic MWOwe will take $200 off the price until May 31,1992 if you mention this when ordering.The Rife Way ID by Mark A. Simpson,P.O. Box710088,Dallas,TX75371, $29.95pp.This is the most recent version of Mark'songoing search for the true story of Royal R.Rife' s researches into the treatment ofdiseaseconditions with frequencies. Mark indicatesthat he is coming around to seeing that thesecret of Rife's pathogen-destroying processis in the beat frequency caused by the interac-

tion of the audio range Rife Frequencies,and the output range of he beam tube antennas. It only makes sense -- Rife was heterodyning UV and visible light in his microscopeso that the low beat frequency carrying theoptical image of viruses (with a wavelengthshorter than visible light) would be in thevisible range. His reach for the proper ' 'mortal oscillatoryrate'' to shatter theviruswouldput him in the same range -- above visiblelight Rife's work was obviously not thepumping ofaudio-range frequencies directlyinto the carcass via TENS-like (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) methodseven though certain system altering resultscan be expected from that sort of modality,and Mark reports on such results, which heterms bug blows t hey have them onvideo. This book gives an excellent overviewof the entire Rife research field and has listings ofwhat he calls Rife-like instrumentsfrom various manufacturers. He also has a lotofcurrent correspondence with researchers inthe field, and listings of various frequenciesused on the Rife-like, equipment. Thereare a lot of insights in this book, and it isinteresting to note the connection betweenRife and Albert Abrams- with the possibilitythat Abrams's equipment (radionic in nature)was used to modulate some of Rife's Onesparkling gem of information that we hadnever heard ofbefore pops up in this book, thediscovery by Rife and fellow researchers of a

new band of oscillations" which killed every bacteriological culture in the lab, brokeglass ofa certain shape throughout the laband killed mold on leather chairs, yet did notharm humans or lab animals Unfortunately,little more is known about the new bandthan what is said here, but it certainly showswhat area Rife himself was working on.Whatever your current level of interest inRife's work, or in electro-therapeutics in general, you will fmd The Rife Waym to be anexcellent piece of ongoing research. Highlyrecommended, both to dispense further thisinformation, and to support a clear-thinkingresearcher who is trying to discern the truth.* INFINOUS SPACE ...

UNDERGROUND GOD MAY END UP INCOURT. A consortium sued the Australiangovernment yesterday for refusing to lift a banon a mining project imposed after Aboriginessaid digging the ground would disturb a god andset off mass destruction. The three-companyconsortium had already spent $11 million onexploration before the government blockedthe project and incorporated the zone into theKakadu National Park when elders of he 600-member Jawoyn tribe said it would disturb thegodBula in what they call the Sickness Country,causing earthquakes and pestilence .. (SanFransisco Chronicle, Feb 11, 1992)MEDICAL MONKEYS The beginning oftheLunarYear4690, The YearoftheMonkey,broughton an official announcementthat "Monkeys May Know Medicine -- Scientists marvelat jungle animals' exploitation of usefulplants." The article gives several examplesfrom South America and Africa of howmonkeys seek out certain plants to aid infertility or rid them ofworms. (SanFransiscoChronicle, Feb 8, 1992)PARTY ANIMALS. As earth's ecosystemgets more and more disrupted we can expectthe life-forms to reflect these changes accordingly. In Napoleon, Ohio a group ofracoons have been acting strangely. Normally coons are nocturnal animals but thesehave been "staggering around town in themiddle of he day, turning somersaults, andeven darting into homes to play under theChristmas tree." Meanwhile in West Bengal, a herd of elephants has been breakinginto an Indian Army camp regularly to guzzletheir rum supply. New Delhi's Statesmanreported that electric fences, bonfires, and rail-ings have been no match for the invaders. Thewily animals have learned to hose out the bon-fires, and to demolish electrified fences by smashing them with wooden logs grasped in theirtrunks. Once inside the camp, they break openthe bottles of um, then stagger away once theyhave their fill. Perhaps they are fed up withtheir declining quality oflife and wish to drowntheir sorrows. Someof heir cousins have takena wilder approach to the problem. In the cen1ralIndian state ofMadhya Pradesh elephants wentwild and trampled fourpeople to death when thevillagers attempted to chase the elephants awaywith noise and brickbats. ''Meanwhile in northeastern India, rogue elephants have killed atleast 31 people this year in Assam state, sometimes after guzzling barrels of homemade beerin the villages they attack.'' Perhaps we shouldsend a peace mission to the herds and fmd outways of easing their discontent. I reported on

this issue in theMar-Apr 1987JBR Theelephantshave much largerbrains than humans and communicate with subsonic (ELF) waves. "There has never been anelephant problem'. There is no elephant 'problem'. There is only a human problem. Exceptionally, the Masai and the Nandi in Africa arereputed to know that the elephant representsanother, older order of things; that they aresurvivorsofanotherage, and consequently givethem priority in matters of land tenure.'

SOLAR/WEATHER CONNECTION. Formany years researchers have been trying to finda direct correlation between solar activity andweather patterns on earth. There is an obviouscorrelation between solar flaring and geomagnetic storming, but no long term weather con-

nection has been determined to the point ofacceptance .. until now. Eigil Griis-Christensenand Knud Lassen, two researchers from theDanish Meteorological Institute, have come upwith a simple connection, so simple that "theircolleagues distrust such disingenuousness; but,as yet they cannot show that it is wrong.'' thasbeen considered that the small change in solarbrightness, around 0.1% during the 11-yearcycle, is enough to affect the severityofnorthernwinters, but this is widely disputed. The newcorrelating factor discovered is that the sunappears also to exhibit an 80- or 90-year cycle,during which the peak intensity of he 11-yearcycle varies, as does its length. [The Danishresearchers] think that the sun is brightest whenthe 11-year cycle is shortest. Putting the solarcycle length and the surface temperatureof henorth em continents over the past century on tothe same graph, they have found that the two fittogetherastonishinglywell.'' see chart. Despitethe evidence, "scientists are loth to discardestablished theories, even unsatisfactory ones,'

on the basis o evidence with no theoreticalunderpinning. (emphasis added) In otherwords, what you see doesn't count unless youhave a theory that fits in with previously accepted theories. Reality is secondary Thissame flaw in 'modem' scientific method surfaced recently when an ice cap was discoveredon Mercwy. Even thought the evidence wasright in front of the scientists, they would notaccept it until they came up with a new theorythat allows the ice cap to exist in theirconceptuali.mtionsl (Source: The Economist,30Nov, 1991) J.THE GREAT AMERICAN MEDICINESHOW is a book by David and Eli.mbethArmstrong published by Prentice Hall,ofwhichan excerpt showed up in IMAGE, the SundaymagazineofThe San Francisco Chronicle,Nov3, 1991. Albert Abrams comes in for a roastingin this book. It gives a fairly accurate renditionof he use of he apparatus, which of course ismade to look like a Rube Goldberg device ifever there was one. Abrams was such aquack that he believed that "every diseasehas a signature vibration that can be measured I It goes on to state that Abrams hadsome ex.9ellent support and that his data wasaccepted as evidence in a paternity suit, butthat serious challenges to his work interferedwith his success- the first being the ''chickenblood" sample sent to Abrams which hediagnosed as general cancer and tuberculosis of the genital-urinary tract. Also men

tioned is that R.A. Millikan, a Nobel Prizewinning Cal Tech physicist, concludedAbrams' inventions 'did not rest upon anyscientific foundation whatever ... ScientificAmerican investigations "concluded thatE.R.A. [Electronic Reactions of Abrams]did not exist. A New York Times editorial,commenting on the report, observed: of allthis country's many medical quacks and charlatans, Abrams showed the most cynical confidence in the amount of credulity, ofgullibility,characterizing a considerable fraction of ts inhabitants, and for the exploitation of hat fraction, he devised a schemeofmagnificent absurdity." The Armstrongs are obviously poorresearchers because they have ignored the explicit challenges to the Millilmn and ScientificAmerican studies presented by active users ofthe equipment -which have been republishedby BSRF in 1991 as INVESTIGATIONS OFTHE E.R.A. They claim "Most traces ofAbrams have .. vanished", but fail to mentionthat much ofAbrams' material is still availableand that there were other investigations such asthoseofthe Inti Hanemannian Committee whichshowed that there certainly was a novel energypresent in the Abrams equipment. A large bodyof evidence exists describing the reality of heradionic impulse in medicine, and no hack jobwill change it
