FOREWORD
The first part of this book is a revised version of Gregory Mitchells
Developing the Mind with Biofeedback (1979) Copyrighted by Psychotechnics,
but now out of print. A booklet that has proved popular with enthusiasts. In view of
the direction that our subsequent research has taken, the decision was made to add a
second part dealing with what has been discovered about The Human Energy
Field. This tends to validate many of the claims made in the original booklet.
Many writers on the occult, mainly Theosophists like H.P.Blavatsky, Annie
Besant, C.W. Leadbeater and A.E. Powell(1979), have speculated about the
existence of an aetheric body that is invisible and non-physical, that surrounds the
physical form of humans, animals and plants, yet which possesses enormous energy,
making it capable of both sustaining the living organism and providing a template to
enable the organism to grow and retain its form, quite distinct from the genetics of
the living cell. It is the source of the life force that can exist even in the void of
space and makes possible the transmission of life from one planet to another. The
essence of the aether is Form and shaping, achieved by rotating vortices rather
than by vibrational frequency, or biochemical structure.
The Chakra system described by Indian mystics from early times provided the
only model for the means by which energy could be transformed from a non-
physical source to influence a living, physical organism. The Chakras were pictured
as vortices, spinning at immense speed, that speed of rotation was what enabled the
power of the aether to operate on physical matter. See:- The Chakras - Hiroshi
Motoyama (1995).
The authors own views, expressed in The Morphism of the Void(1995) are
that the aether consists of negative energy, that is, energy in a bound state, as
distinct from the free energy states of the physical world. The bound states consist of
oppositely charged particles in such close orbits that their spin frequencies are
immense. This is because the particles are weightless.
There is a current belief that matter is a form of frozen energy and that matter
and energy are interchangeable. This is erroneous, because energy is just the
movement of matter. Matter is eternal, though it goes through many changes.
Matter is far too complex to be created from an energy packet. Nor is it destroyed
when particle and anti-particle meet. It then goes into its aetheric form, where
matter is invisible and weightless.
Shapes can exist in the aether void simply through the agency of spin
coupling, whether lateral or longitudinal. Such shapes have a permanence far greater
than any physical form, because the negative energy particles have no mass. The
aether shapes manifest themselves as vortices, much as we recognise whirlwinds,
hurricanes, typhoons and tornadoes. These vortices are smaller, invisible, more
powerful, and more permanent and hundreds of them cover our physical body.
Their presence has been detected by their action upon the electrical fields
surrounding the body and the electro-chemical processes going on within it. The
aetheric forms can exist in a vacuum, even between the worlds in outer space and,
as suggested above, is the agency by which life has migrated from one planet to
another.
The earliest evidence for the existence of holographic energy surrounding the
living organism was obtained by Harold S. Burr at Yale University (1972). Burrs
work involved the shape of the electrical fields surrounding salamanders, which in
embryos was roughly the same shape as the adult animal. He also found that this
field was aligned with the brain and spinal cord. A further discovery of his was that
the electrical axis was present in the unfertilised egg.
These discoveries were later reinforced by Kirlian photography, which
recorded streamers of light issuing from the fingers. In the case of leaves, the Kirlian
electrical effects could still be photographed when part of the leaf was removed. This
is the now famous Phantom Leaf phenomenon. See S. & V. Kirlian, (1961) and
W. Tiller (1979).
What we have to be careful to state, however, is that these electrical effects,
which involve very little power, give no clue as to the enormous aether energies that
produced them, since there is no direct relationship between aetheric and electrical
energies. A huge attenuation of the life force occurs before it manifests on the
physical plane. Nevertheless certain Forms have the capability of interacting with the
aether - like the spirals of DNA and particular molecular shapes.
PART ONE
Third Procedure:
This consists of mastering the rudiments of the psychoanalytic methods, which
are used for the purpose of clearing up a patients emotional problems. The
sensitivity of the BPG Meter must again be increased by a factor of two, moving up
to the next range for this purpose. To be successful this type of analysis requires the
assistance of another person. For the vast majority of people self-directed analysis is
seldom successful. It is the interaction with another type of personality that supplies
the vital, emotional involvement, amplifying the readings. A word spoken to us by
someone else has a much greater effect than one we mutter to ourselves.
The recommended method is based on the Jungian system using word lists. If
a word on one of these lists causes a response on the BPG Meter this indicates it has
an emotional charge. These emotionally charged words are the ones you should be
concerned with. One should try to follow them up pursuing various synonyms and
obvious associations. In the course of a reverie when one is considering such words,
emotional incidents will spring to mind and in the process of going over and re-
living such incidents their emotional charge will diminish.
One is not attempting here to psychoanalyze a person completely. This may
not be wise nor desirable, since one starts from the presumption that the person is
normal and stable. The purpose of this exercise is merely to release emotional charge
from a few key words in order to facilitate progress towards the more advanced
techniques of biofeedback.
The choice of words for this list is a matter of great significance. There is little
value in the analysis of obscure words, because they will figure little in biofeedback
or in everyday life. The best results can be achieved by choosing words from the
following list:
Amount; Art; Be (all forms and tenses); Beautiful; Belief; Cause; Certain;
Chance; Change; Clear; Common; Comparison; Condition; Connection; Copy;
Decision; Degree; Development; Different; Do (all forms); Education; End; Event;
Example; Existence; Experience; Fact; Fear; Feeling, Fiction; Force; Form; Full;
General; Get; Give; Good; Government; Happy; Have; History; Idea; Important;
Interest; Jealousy; Knowledge; Law; Less; Lot; Level; Living; Love; Make; Material;
Measure; Mind; Motion; Name; Nation; Natural; Necessary; Normal; Number;
Observation; Opposite; Order; Organization; Part; Place; Pleasure; Possible; Power;
Probable; Property; Purpose; Quantity; Quality; Question; Reason; Relation;
Representative; Respect; Responsible; Right; Same; Say; Science; See; Seem; Sense;
Sign; Simple; Society; Sort; Special; Substance; Thing Thought; True; Use; Way;
Will; Wise; Word; Work; Yet.
If you use this list the majority of people will get readings with a sig nificant
percentage of the words. There is a sound reason for choosing these words:
l. They cover the ideas we are bound to use; those ideas, which are concerned
in all that we do as thinking beings.
2. They are also words we are forced to use in explaining other words. That
is, the ideas they cover in general terms embrace the particular meanings of a wide
range of, other words, and will have links to them, which will evoke associations.
Because these words, or the ideas contained in them, form such a large part of our
internal verbal matrix, the removal of negative emotional charge from these few
words will have a significant effect on our cognitive development. As much as the
removal of emotional charge from all the other words in the English Dictionary!
This initial practice with the BPG Meter in Mode 1 is essential, because later
on a similar procedure is to be used with the BPG Meter in Mode 2, that is, the
Bilateral, or differential Mode.
Conclusion:
By mastering those three techniques with the BPG Meter in Mode 1,
measuring the overall psychogalvanic response, the way is now open to move on to
the advanced techniques of differential analysis in Mode 2. These preliminary
exercises will have allowed us to proceed with ease and certainty.
A final warning on the word list in Procedure Three. If difficulty is
experienced in analyzing a persons reactions to a particular word, check the
dictionary to make sure he understands the correct meaning. Or check all the words
before you begin, if you suspect this may be a problem!
Procedure Four
In the case of the average subject, the difference in response between the two
hemispheres of the brain, as reflected in terms of changes in the ratio of electrical
resistance of each palm, is very much smaller than the overall change in body
resistance, corresponding to the physiological arousal state. Consequently a high
sensitivity meter is essential to monitor the phenomenon. As one attains greater
expertise in the management of the biofeedback loop the sensitivity can be reduced.
The trained subject eventually reaches a state where he can maintain a steady
general level of response whilst making a larger differential response of several
hundred Ohms.
To commence the exercise switch the BPG Meter to Mode 2 on a high
sensitivity range. Hold electrode A in the left hand and electrode B in the right. Now
relax for a few minutes. In order to change the state of arousal differently in each
hemisphere it is first necessary to be at a low level of general arousal. Too high a
level will reinforce the hemispheric state you are already in.
As you are going to try to influence the meter needle by intention rather than
merely record a change concomitant upon some hemispheric task, this preliminary
relaxation period is especially important.
Unless you are significantly right or left right or left hemispherically biased the
task you are performing will tend to act as a trigger to energize the appropriate side
of the brain. Nevertheless, in some people this does not always occur, because of
extreme dominance of one particular lobe of the brain the wrong kind of response
will be elicited. When this happens the BPG Meter can record the fact and
demonstrate to the subject the need for self-correction.
In the context of this exercise, the low level of arousal must be maintained in
order to provide the necessary reference level by which differential action in the two
hemispheres can be detected. The state of arousal should be as low as possible
without impairing ones aware ness. In this condition hemispheric dominance is
reduced or even eliminated. This fact can be easily demonstrated when people who
have intractable problems during their waking moments find that the solution occurs
to them after having slept on the matter. The grip of the dominant hemisphere is
relaxed during sleep and the part of the brain best suited to the problem can deal
with it. There is a subjective feeling of well being, even euphoria, after having solved
a problem in this way, which indicates that sharing tasks properly between both
halves of the brain will produce a happier as well as a better balanced personality.
It is also a further aim of the training, that the subject who attains hemispheric
balance should be able to maintain higher states of arousal in both hemispheres,
while remaining free from tension and still experiencing a subjective state of well
being. Emotional tension of itself may arise from imbalance of the states of arousal
in the brain hemispheres, producing lack of synchronicity in brainwave rhythms.
The happy and balanced individual is thus capable of undertaking tasks involving
great stress without experiencing any discomfort or nervousness.
After this necessary period of relaxation therefore, if the BPG Meter stays
balanced and settled, and the electrodes have reached body temperature, you will
then find that every mental or perceptual act will cause a deflection of the meter
needle from the zero point.
In the case of eighty percent of the population this movement will be to the
right more often than the left. This is because we live in a left-brain hemisphere
culture in which right-handedness is the norm. The res ponse can therefore be
described as culturally determined. The approach to self-control in Mode 2 is
slightly changed and a little more complex than of overall psycbogalvanic
measurement in Mode 1. The physiological changes that affect the first procedure,
With the BPG Meter in Mode-I, mean that the movements of the needle are
somewhat sluggish, but in Mode 2 on higher sensitivity the needle is continuously
and vigorously on the move. This activity stems from the continuous mental thought
pattern. An idea may stimulate one side of the brain spatially and then the
logical/verbal part communication will pass to the other hemisphere. Before
commencing any routine there fore a few minutes must be spent in practicing the
mental exercise of holding the needle still.
This exercise is not quite the same as holding the needle still in Mode 1. In
Mode 1 the overall psychogalvanic response can be stabilized, but smaller and more
rapid movements related to differential arousal of the hemisphere cannot be detected
because of the arrangement of the electrical circuit. Holding the needle still in the
differential condition of Mode 2 has a definite subjective effect. Mental fidgeting
ceases the mind is also stilled. One will have attained something not unlike the Zen
state of consciousness, and the BPG Meter will demonstrate to you the fact that you
have achieved this state, reinforcing the drive towards expansion of consciousness.
This pseudo Zen state is the one ap propriate for the next stage of action.
The word action is used in relation to mental activity in this case because
elementary exercises in biofeedback are actions; they are an encoding process, the
output of which is the meter reading.
A special Tachometer, or activity meter, as mentioned in the 2nd Procedure
of Mode I, was originally available as an auxiliary device for the BPG Meter to
indicate the level of mental activity. This was designed for use as an on-line, real time
measurement of mental capacity, however it is also valuable in giving a null
indication of Zen-like states. The device has now been superseded by analogue to
digital conversion of data followed by computer analysis, as further described in the
Chapters on the human energy field.
Procedure 5:
Having succeeded in the exercise of holding the needle still, the next action is
to move the needle to the left or to the right by an act of will. It will be found easy
to move it to the right, as already mentioned, if you are right-handed. The hard task,
unless you are left-handed and biased towards the right brain hemisphere, is moving
the needle to the left. The exercises are written in general for the majority of people,
how ever the BPG Meter will quickly tell you if you are one of the minorities
because of the contrary needle movement. In the case of extreme hemispheric
dominance, the reading of the Balance control, which measures this ratio, will
indicate the difference in state of arousal of the two brain hemispheres.
Attention should first be given to trying to move the needle in the direction
which proves most difficult, and for most people this will consist of imagining shapes
and locations, or whole scenes from memory. This activity must of course be
interspersed with activity appropriate to the other hemisphere, such as mental
arithmetic or inner speech, in order that swings across the zero point are
demonstrated. It is important here to guard against possible errors in interpretation
of readings. Because there are repeated swings in one direction, one may have
shifted the zero point to give the illusion of a bilateral swing and therefore be lead to
believe that one is capable of moving easily to left or right. As a test of this one must
return at times to the stilled consciousness of the Zen state, to check the zero
reading and start again with the willing of movement in the difficult direction.
This may prove a difficult and tedious exercise but mental control cannot be
achieved unless one is capable of determining the move ment of the needle and
freeing it to move in either direction with a positive amplitude from a stable zero
point. Having achieved this, the next procedure follows without much additional
practice.
Procedure 6:
This is associated with the idea of warming to the task in colloquial speech.
The process of moving to a new task is followed by another period of mental
adaptation to a state of harmony with that task. For instance, when one undertakes
the task of writing one gradually warms up to the physical and mental operations it
requires, the various centres concerned are aroused and have to achieve a new
condition of balance. Writing contains elements of processes that involve the right
hemisphere of the brain. These are the operational aspects of forming the various
characters and the visual interpretation of the characters once they are written. Then
there is the linear aspect of the verbal flow requiring verbal memory retrieval from
the left hemisphere.
For the purpose of the BPG Meter measurement in Mode 2 the act of writing
is not possible as both hands are holding electrodes and any muscular movement
will affect the zero point of the needle. The processes involved in reading from a
book will however serve just as well to demonstrate the bilateral involvement of the
brain which should produce a small fluctuation about the zero mark at around 2-3
swings a second, this is caused by differential shifts of arousal in the two
hemispheres as attention moves from linear to holistic aspects of the task and back
again. This frequency of movement is a good interpretation of the complex nature of
the task and the continual flux of arousal states that accompanies the activity. The
swings of the BPG Meter at a frequency of 2-3 times a second occur with a person
of average mental capacity. This switching frequency is determined partially by the
demands of the task, i.e. the reading speed, and partially by the limitations of the
visual perceptual system. Other factors are the relative speeds of dealing with inputs
to the respective hemispheres and subsequently the rate at which these two inputs
can be integrated to present a complete summation of the activity in the mind.
Other researches which we have carried out in conjunction with stroboscopes and
an instrument called a synchrophone, which monitor inputs to the visual and
auditory centers of the brain, suggest that the central nervous system can operate at
least two of three times as fast as the rate at which the sensory apparatus can deliver
and interpret its signals. Strategies can be developed which overcome the inherent
delays of the sensory apparatus by a sequential coding of input, which staggers the
refractory periods of different groups of nerve fibers. This mimics the arrangement
in the human ear, where various receptor nerves fire in volleys.
Increased writing and reading speeds can thus be realized by a process of
physiological adaptation which are dealt with at length in the book on the
Synchrophone.
The next exercise should not seek to use any task, such as reading, as a
trigger. This is because with many people the triggering of natural tasks is likely to
produce maladaptive responses. It is as well therefore to try to practice by intention
alone and seek in this way to move the needle at a frequency of one swing a second,
this is a reasonable goal for the first session.
Using the BPG Meter at very high sensitivities you will find you can begin to
oscillate the needle by intention alone at as much as four swings a second. If you
succeed this time then you will find that when you return to using a given task as a
trigger, the rate of oscillation of the needle will be double that of a na ve subject and
there will be a related improvement in task performance.
Procedure 7:
This describes analytic techniques of a higher order that can be undertaken
with a BPG Meter in Mode 2. The cultural norm of Left-brain hemisphere
dominance is reinforced by words and this is revealed by the way in which words of
special classes effect the selective arousal of the two brain hemispheres of the
subject. The most important class of word in this context is that dealing with the
description of systems and processes, words such as: Conditioning; Cybernetics;
Networks; Analysis; Scaling; Zoning; etc. These words, although abstract and
superficially requiring left hemisphere activity, cannot be used with insight without
the inter related co-operation of the right hemisphere, because they have adjuncts of
space and motion.
Many people have difficulty with such words, and since difficult things
reinforce difficulty this leads to a state of invalidation, the brain simply shuts down in
this area and says too difficult to itself.
This syndrome frequently appears as a result of classroom type instruction.
The initial procedure of word analysis is in some ways similar to that of the BPG
Meter in Mode I and the assistance of a second person is even more necessary since
both hands are occupied holding electrodes and complete physical and emotional
relaxation is a pre-requisite.
As before, look for the words that produce large readings and follow them
through with free association in the reverie state. It is helpful for this purpose to use
Rogets Thesaurus to provide lists of synonyms and antonyms. Once a word has
been stripped of negative emotion, it is possible to proceed to the next exercise. This
exercise consists of responding to the key word with an associated word, at the
same time resisting the movement of the BPG Meter to the right.
Correlated with the class of systems and process words mentioned above are
the simple words involving position and place, such as: Left; Right; Up; Down;
Backwards; Forwards; In; Out; Above; Below. Another class of simple words is
those pertaining to touch, feeling, balance and motion. Both these classes should
involve the right -hemisphere of the brain and should be looked at in a similar
manner. If there is an emotive suppression of words in these latter two classes it is a
clear indication that the right hemisphere has been shut down. A useful additional
source of systems words is Word Power by Edward de Bono. This book contains
a list of 270 of the most vital of these words.
There is a very simple test to measure the progress a person has made in both
systems of analysis. A list of one hundred words is prepared of the class to be tested.
On hearing a word the subject must respond with another word that has a logical
relationship. The words are read out one by one by a collaborator who gives the
next word immediately the subject makes a response. A record can then be taken of
the word responses on tape, if required for subsequent analysis.
One hundred words of the type used in Mode 1 analysis with the BPG takes
1.2 seconds per association, so two minutes will suffice for the whole list. With the
type of words used in Mode 2, differential analysis of a list of 100 words will take
about 3 minutes. After several sessions with these words, to free them from
emotional charge, the time for the Mode I list will reduce to about 70 seconds, and
for the more complex words in Mode 2 the reaction time will fall to about 1 second
per word or 100 seconds for the whole list. The two techniques can nearly double
the rate of association, in the case of the words that have been analysed.
The differential technique of Mode 2 is capable of being used for remedial
purposes in connection with the special vocabularies of a trade or profession. By
analyzing BPG Meter readings occurring with such words, in the case of persons in
those professions, and following up the associations to release their charge, it is then
possible, with practice, to increase association speed. This increase of association
speed then leads to increased mental capacity. This is reflected in increased fluency
and ability to recall facts with greater ease and speed. Insight into logical sequences
and accuracy in manipulation of data is also increased.

CORRECTING MALADAPTIVE RESPONSE
WITH THE BPG METER
Once you have attained a measure of freedom in controlling the responses
registered by the BPG Meter in both Modes, through all .the possible dimensions of
measurement related in previous procedures it is then possible to concentrate on
using the meter for the correction of various forms of malfunction of the cognitive
processes.
In order to obtain the best results, two persons need to work in co operative
endeavor towards this end. Neither need be an expert nor have any more than
average education. It is sufficient for them to be able to follow the simple
instructions given in this book. The roles of the collaborators should easily be
interchangeable, one person being the subject connected to the meter and the other
making adjustments to the controls and supervising the exercises alternately. The
BPG Meter in fact supplies the hypersensitivity normally found in ones Guru.
If you are forced to use the meter by yourself one solution is to use foot
electrodes. They would be fastened to the upper surface of a wooden sandal and
have equal area compared with the hand electrodes. The weight of the foot resting
on the contact surfaces should be sufficient to enable consistent readings to be
attained, and as the feet can be more easily relaxed there will be less chance of noise
artifacts, resulting from movement. However, this does not obviate the need for a
preliminary relaxation period before the start of a session.
To check upon the state of relaxation wait until the overall body resistance, as
indicated on the Balance scale in Mode I of the meter, has risen to between 8 and 9.
Although changes in arousal state can be detected in Mode 2 as a tremor of the
needle the direction of change is not indicated and the tremor confuses other
indications. So a stable state is necessary in order that the swings of the needle can
be correctly attributed to the alternation of the brain hemisphere arousal that arises
as a result of most tasks.
To recapitulate briefly, the left hemisphere of the brain is specialized for
language and serial, or logical processing. The right hemisphere is equipped better
for spatial and pictorial tasks. It gives a complete overview of the situation without
regard to detail.
Most common tasks will involve both of these specialized functions. Listening
to music, for example, requires some serial processing, appropriate to the left
hemisphere, in order to be aware of the development of a theme, and some holistic
conception of the mood and phrasing of the piece. A good example of holistic
perception of music is in the recognition of the same tune when played in different
arrangements and different keys, or with different instruments or by players having
different degrees of skill.
The point of issue however, is that, although both hemispheres must share in a
perception and interpretation activity, they do not share equally. The malfunction of
learned dominance often leads to excessive activity in one of the hemispheres.
As already remarked, reading and writing involve both sides of the brain.
Words and letters have spatial qualities for which the right hemisphere is specialized.
The same words and letters have to be strung together sequentially to define
meaning and this serial process ing involves the language functions of the left
hemisphere. Therefore for the purpose of fluent reading and writing the two
hemispheres must co-ordinate their functions in intricate, high-speed, linked
programs. Consider the following tasks:
a. Sounding out a written or spoken word.
Broken down into its elements this comprises the following steps:
Step Hemisphere
1 Selection of a set of letters Right
2 Find their sounds Left
3 Articulate the sounds Left
4 Hold the sounds in short-term memory Left
5 Test for word finished Right
6 Integrate the sounds in short-term memory Left
7 Test do I recognize the word? Left
These programs show crudely the idea of bow we switch from left to right
sides of the brain during the task, and consequently how the state of arousal goes
from high to low as the switching takes place from input to output. The speed at
which the switching can be accommodated is the chief factor in maintaining an
accurate flow and the subject must not be distracted from his task by the random
intrusion of arbitrary associations. Ideally there should be a programmed sequence
of trade-offs between the two hemispheres that leads to a co-ordinated strategy for
sharing of task requirements.
When one speaks of a learned malfunction in relation to the activities of the
two brain hemispheres there are three common, and one uncommon dimensions to
take into account. Although these four dimensions do not exhaust all the possibilities
in the field of learned malfunction they do cover nine tenths of them, insofar as the
two hemispheres of the brain are concerned and excluding any organic or genetic
malfunctions. There are other malfunctions that can result from incorrect sharing of
functions between the higher and lower parts of the cortex i.e. those which are
affected by the techniques of classical and post operant conditioning. These latter
cases will be touched on when dealing with the use of the BPG Meter in the hand-
foot Mode.
Procedure 8:
A problem may exist in moving information from one side of the brain to the
other and in specific tasks this problem may be exaggerated. Frequently the incipient
causal factor is some very minor brain damage that occurred early in life.
Subsequently through reinforcement of the minor impediment and general inertia, a
mode of helplessness has been learned.
There are analogies one can use from other domains of physiological
adaptation. The lazy eye becomes blind because the individual gives up looking
through it. Those with partial hearing learn to be deaf. A pointer to the genesis of
the learned neural adaptation is that the performance of the task in question will
deteriorate rapidly with the onset of fatigue.
In tackling this first dimension of the disability the BPG Meter is used
coercively. If you are working alone the meter should be used with an auxiliary
auditory output. This is a voltage controlled, variable frequency tone generator. The
tone will fall if the meter needle moves to the left and rise if it moves in the opposite
direction, so a change in tone will indicate whether or not the correct hemisphere of
the brain is being aroused.
I have already described the sort of tasks appropriate to each brain
hemisphere. If performance of a given task for one hemisphere tends to bring on a
feeling of tiredness and disinclination to continue then this is a clear indication of the
existence of a malfunction. The feeling of tiredness will be accompanied by a general
fall in arousal, which will lead to a deterioration in overall performance and perhaps
a swing of the needle in the wrong direction.
The feeling of tiredness must be combated first by retracing ones steps to
make a fresh assault on the problem. This is analogous to a field athlete making a
fresh run-up to his jump in order to gain the necessary momentum for a giant effort.
Go back to Mode I on the BPG Meter, stabilize the needle as prescribed in
Procedure I, then reassert your ability to move it in Procedure 2, then still the mind
in Mode 2 as described in Procedure 4, while concentrating on the single thought of
the task ahead. This run-up will give you sufficient confidence and momentum to
correct the response of the dominant hemisphere and school it into subservience to
your will. Success in this exercise will bring an added bonus in that information
transfer between both halves of the brain through a band of nerve fibers called the
Corpus Callosum will be speeded up. Not only will this increase the speed with
which the task can be handled but it will also improve the balance in usage of the
two hemispheres. The aim is to push up the relative meter swings, or the resistance
change on switching to an arousal state of either side of the brain. Such enhanced
change in arousal will facilitate the growth of fresh neural pathways, reactivating the
joined brain cells and bypassing the areas where lesions have occurred.
Procedure 9:
Here again we will deal with a specific problem related to one of the brain
hemispheres. For example, a deficiency of response by the right hemisphere can lead
to an inability to perform arithmetical calculations. The right hemisphere may, as
part of such a task, be required to line up a column of digits. If this particular ability
is not forthcoming, the arithmetical calculation cannot proceed. The low level of
mental arithmetical capacity in our present culture may well result from an over
emphasis of left hemisphere processes. This phenomenon is especially marked in
women who are not encouraged to acquire manual/spatial skills in childhood. In such
cases the introspective ramifications of language command the attention of the
subject and maintain an active suppression of the right hemisphere. This means that
a complete program for certain linear/spatial processes does not exist in working
memory. This can be described clinically as the overt clumsiness of the
ambisinistrous (both hands are left hands). -
People with considerable capacity for mental arithmetic and related problems,
such as handling chemical formulae, tend towards ambidexterity. This suggests a
high level of bilateral diffusion of specialization and lack of unilateral hemispheric
dominance. If the problem with arithmetic exists then the coercive technique of
Procedure 8 must again be used in conjunction with tasks involving calculation.
Switching between hemispheres during such tasks must be monitored to the point
where the subject will feel it all becomes too difficult. At this critical fatigue failure
point take a fresh run-up to break the dominance of the inappropriate hemisphere. A
sluggish hemisphere is often coupled with a lazy eye and curing this one deficiency
will go a long way to treating the other condition. Eventually with the coercive
technique the dormant half of the brain will be prodded into activity.
Procedure 10:
The third dimension of hemispheric imbalance is not so common as the
previous two, but it is often found among the left -handed. Sometimes this left-
handedness can be traced to neural lesion but this need not stand in the way of the
biofeedback technique being applied as a possible remedy. Although the left-handed
person is usually more developed in the right side of the brain it can happen that
they follow the cultural pattern in most respects and overall control resides in the left
hemisphere.
This raises the problem of where the master program resides. When
hemispheric switching occurs during a task where does the signal to switch come
from? In most cognitive functions probably the larger part of the program is
essentially verbal so the site of storage would be the left hemisphere. The
comparative involvement of the frontal lobes of the brain in relation to the motor
cortex can also confuse the issue and this is something that will be dealt with in the
Chapter on the hand-foot Mode.
With the broad indication from bilateral monitoring of the palmar resistance in
Mode 2 we cannot say exactly what each hemisphere is doing, however we can say
which one is active as a general rule, with the exception of this particular dimension
where the readings may be ambiguous owing to the uncertainty which exists in
regard to overall control. This uncertainty tends to produce a state of anxiety in the
dormant hemisphere when carrying out the left-handed tasks. The control
information has to be re-routed from one side of the brain to the other resulting in
clumsiness. The condition may also manifest itself in the auditory areas. The person
suffering from it may have problems in understanding messages on the telephone
when the receiver is placed against the right ear. The confusion of control may also
cause malfunctions with the dominant left hemisphere.
Bearing the above in mind it can be seen that the run-up to Procedure 4 is
particularly important. The state of anxiety in the dormant hemisphere must be
calmed, by stilling the mind. If it has been found that attempts to arouse the left
hemisphere have failed, then the technique must be reversed to find which favors
the better performance of the task.
Procedure 11:
This last, rare dimension of the learned malfunction is limited to people who,
when mentally stable, have an IQ greater than 150. Both hemispheres of the brain
have verbal centres. In a person of average development the verbal centre of the
right hemisphere has an IQ of about 6O, so it is of little significance. If a person does
have an IQ of 150 this means that the speech component associated with this IQ
must be over 100. This can be a problem if the person has a dominant right
hemisphere and its speech center is called on to manifest a degree of intelligence
beyond its rated capacity. Environment can play a major role in this case. If the
subject comes from a deprived, working class background, although of high
intelligence, his or her learned malfunction will be accentuated and prove a barrier to
any commensurate achievement.
This class of subject can be detected because his or her speed IQ will be in
excess of 150 but his verbal IQ is seldom over 100. He or she may be fluent, but he
or she will have a high error rate in speech tasks. Often he or she will stutter or
squint, and slang words take the place of adjectives. The condition can be treated
with the BPG Meter in Mode 2 by reinforcing the arousal of the left hemisphere in
conjunction with a powerful coercive regime (a la Pygmalion).
Pressure of time and practical considerations may however necessitate other
types of treatment with the Syncbrophone or Stroboscope. The operation of these
devices is described in the book on Alternative Audition. However it was
emphasized at the beginning that mental stability was a pre-requisite for this
procedure. If there is any hint that the high IQ person involved may be bordering on
Schizophrenia, as is sometimes the case, then the advice of a qualified psychiatrist
should be sought before embarking on the treatment, which should be carried out
by a skilled operator in a laboratory fully equipped with remedial apparatus.
It should be noted that people with this problem often scan lines of print from
right to left. With a column of newsprint, which may be only five words wide, he
will have no problem. With lines of ten or more words there will be reading
difficulties and a line of fifteen words will be beyond the capacity of the subject
altogether because he cannot hold this much information in his short-term memory
and then reassemble it in its proper sequence. This is one of the surest tests for this
condition.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS:
Our researches suggest that certain simple tasks are entirely grabbed by one
hemisphere or the other. Although the hemisphere that grabs the task should be the
one to which it is appropriate, there is a malfunction when this is not the case.
Although the selection of a purely one-hemisphere task is something of a problem,
those in the following list are predominantly either left or right-brained and they
may be used with the meter for diagnostic purposes. They can also be used for
correcting a malfunction. The procedure is to use these simple tasks as building
blocks to assemble more complex tasks all relating to one hemisphere thus serving
to push the selected task in that direction.
Mental Speed:
This was referred to in Procedure 11. An approximate test of mental speed is
for the subject to recite a well-rehearsed poem of known length as rapidly as
possible using inner speech. The average speed, for a guide, is 300 words per minute
and the IQ relationship is given by the following formula:
This is only a rough guide so the scores should be rounded off to the nearest
five points, so 200 w.p.m. inner speech = IQ of 80; 300 w.p.m. = IQ 100; 400w.p.m
= IQ 115; 500w.p.m = IQ 130; 600w.p.m. = IQ 140, etc.
Conclusion
We have been speaking about the right hand, right eye and ear being
connected to the left side of the brain as though there were hard wired electrical
circuits going from these organs to centres in the brain, this is not really the case, the
situation is far more complex. Nerve fibers from the eye divide in the optic chiasma,
half going to each of the visual areas of left and right hemispheres. The same thing
happens with the auditory circuits. But there is no kind of hard wiring in the higher
centres of the brain, no one can guarantee that a given signal will produce a certain
response, it all depends upon the level of attention that the brain bestows upon the
information. If the brain decides to disregard the information and nerves related to a
hand, a leg or an eye that organ becomes effectively paralyzed.
So when we use the word connected it implies that the right hand, the right
eye and the right ear are more likely to command attention from the opposed left
hemisphere of the brain. Nevertheless perhaps one in a hundred thousand of the
population do not have this type of crossover. These people are usually mental
defectives with severe disabilities and the techniques described in this book would
have no relevance for them.
The division of nerve pathways is an evolutionary factor likely to increase the
chances of survival in the case of brain damage. It has leaf fortuitously to a situation
of hemispheric dominance in civilized societies where people do in as a rule go
around clouting each other with clubs, but at the same time it has created the
opportunity for humanity vastly to increase its overall mental power by using the
spare brain capacity Nature has lavished upon us.

THE BPG METER IN THE HAND-FOOT MODE
The use of the BPG Meter in this Mode is still the subject of research
therefore the statements contained in this Chapter cannot be as categorical as those
of the earlier procedures.
Broadly speaking there are two ways to use the Meter in the hand-foot mode:
1. A set of foot electrodes is placed under each foot. This will enable bilateral
readings to be taken while the subject performs tasks with his hands, partly logical
and partly spatial, designed to produce information transfer between the brain
hemispheres. These bilateral readings will be colored by changes in the lower brain
centres (See diagram on Page . ), which diminish their amplitude. This is because
the motor and sensory areas related to the hands are located on the outer part of the
sensori-motor region of the brain while the feet are controlled from points closer to
the central core of the older parts of the brain, the Limbic Lobe A set of electrodes
is connected to one hand and another set to one foot on the same side of the body.
With the BPG Meter in Mode 2 difference reading will indicate a variation of the
state of arousal within one hemisphere of the brain.
2. The sets of electrodes are placed in a diagonal relationship, i.e. left hand and
right foot, or vice versa. Again using Mode 2 on the meter it is possible to obtain a
differential reading related to the relative state of arousal of the higher centers in the
forebrain in comparison with the lower centers of the Limbic lobe.
Until we have made many more parallel studies in a wide range of situations
with the Electroencephalograph the above conclusions are necessarily speculative to
a degree yet they do offer a simple means of diagnosing malfunction in the
respective areas of cognition.
Some aspects of this further research will involve having a four electrode
input to the modified BPG Meter.
On the question of selective arousal of the forebrain we are in a position to
express some opinions. Though the forebrain is referred to as an association area,
perhaps concerned with very complex, logical tasks we feel that it may experience a
relative projection forwards from the motor areas in the hand and speech regions as
an adjunct to the memorization process, so that memory to a certain extent is
enshrined in a record of motor action at the particular time and also sensation.
The mid-brain is the dedicated projection area for the whole sensory-motor
apparatus of the body and consequently is stimulus bound. Its level of arousal is thus
critically related to body activity. A subject with a low level of arousal in the
forebrain, where it becomes a silent area as regards electrical activity, will tend to be
of an extraverted type of personality, very active physically, but his behavior will
follow more primitive and instinctual lines. He will respond closely to an externally
imposed stimulus discipline. The extreme example of this type is the lobotomized
psychiatric patient who becomes very pliable and co-operative as a result of the
operation. He is also a prisoner of present time, since the vital element in
memorization is the ability to imprint sensory-motor images on the forebrain has
been lost. This inability to relate past experience to the present, and lack of foresight
into their future, deprives the individual of any motivation beyond simple and
instinctual needs. Governed by impulse he cannot experience any detachment from
events and has little choice outside of programmed inhibitions, over his pattern of
response. This is coupled with euphoria and a willingness to accept any experience,
good or bad, rather than no experience at all. This sad condition of the lobotomized
gives a much insight into the function of the frontal lobes of the brain.
These frontal lobes can be seen to have less specialization than other parts of
the brain. One centre can take over if another is damaged. They act in a holistic
manner as a center of intention and seem to motivate and program the mid-brain
from within. To do this they often override the extrinsic, stimulus bound reactions of
the mid-brain. They have the ability to judge, and this in itself argues that a response
must be held in escrow. The forebrain can act as a center of unlearning, either
releasing us from inhibitions or even erasing programmes of instrumental response
no longer relevant to our present time and situation. It can therefore be safely
asserted that the forebrain is concerned with master program of activity and the
sequencing of those programs.
There thus seems to be a threefold purpose in seeking to arouse the two lobes
of the forebrain:
1. It will assist us to reprogram our existing knowledge in a more useful
arrangement and allow us to make a new set of adaptations.
2. It will release us from fixed modes of perception and action, improve our
judgment and encourage lateral thinking on broader issues in relation to all kinds of
problems.
3. It can focus attention on specific areas of the body and thus reduce
perceptual thresholds in those areas, thus enabling intricate tasks to be undertaken
with less difficulty.
There may also be projections of the forebrain beyond the fissure of Rolando
that enable it to influence the visual area of the cortex in the same way. By focusing
attention on the occipital lobe the persistence of vision could be altered. This means
that one would be able to see events that are happening at a faster rate than is
possible, in technical terms. The flicker fusion rate of 20 Hertz, which sets a limit on
the detailed perception by the human eye of moving images, could thus be
exceeded. This would allow shorter units of time to be experienced in a kind of
Kung-Fu state of consciousness.
The combined effect of these factors allows us both to construct and
comprehend abstract systems, many stages removed from concrete external reality
and to use these structures as a global plan for programming, perception and action.
Here we have a kind of system that allows our sum total of experience to be inter-
related as a holistic balancing, all pervasive modality.
Nevertheless some tasks are performed most effectively in absence of
forebrain interference. These are routine, repetitive jobs, involving speed and co-
ordination in motor output. Work on a variety of assembly lines follows such a
pattern. Here the higher mind switches off and thinks about something else.
Juggling, for example would require in the initial stages of learning the active
participation of the forebrain, but subsequently the higher faculties would tend to
interfere with the acquisition of the final stages of complete automaticity.
With the foot input, modified BPG Meter we hope to show that that relative
psychogalvanic resistance of both feet on Input A compared with both hands on
Input B will give an unequivocal measurement of forebrain arousal by a movement
of the meter needle to the right. While a fall in arousal, will produce movement in
the opposite direction.
There is a partial correlation between the arousal of the forebrain and the
general level of activity of the whole brain. Also as a genera rule perceptual input
processes predominate over related output encoding activities. What it is hoped we
can achieve is to train subjects to increase the arousal of their forebrain differentially
against background of lowered general brain activity. This represents something like
the Zen state of sartori, in which the person become capable of unusually rapid and
intricate body movements. It is the sartori of action, or Kung-Fu state of
consciousness.
In the hand-foot mode the chance of spurious readings is increased, because of
the high level of sensitivity required. The importance of the preliminary period of
relaxation and practice with the various drills Procedures 1-11 must be emphasized
and should always precede attempts to stimulate the forebrain. Once the
preliminaries have been accomplished it will be useful to demonstrate how words
and mantras can act as triggers to increase and decrease the arousal level. Such
triggers must necessarily be processed through their associations to remove any
emotional charge concerned with the lower centres of the brain. It is also necessary
to eliminate command words, which have a direct effect on the motor consciousness
of the mid-brain.
There is a rare form of adaptive schizophrenia among those persons of high
IQ which can be recognized by using the differential hand-foot technique of the
BPG Meter and against which suitable remedial drills can be contrived to combat.
With a child of very high IQ (that is 170 and above) the forebrain may not come
into operation at the appropriate age, that is, between 6 and 10 years. This is
because forebrain adapts to the needs of the environment and a superior quality of
brain, which has much greater speed and flexibility than the average, will find it does
not need to stretch itself in order to stay comfortably in the running. What may
happen therefore is that part of the mid-brain will be able to act in place of the
whole forebrain because the child is taxed so far below his potential capacity.
The environmental conditioning, which emphasizes containment within the
average herd, coupled with a political belief in complete egalitarianism and the
abolition of the Elite, will produce in the gifted child a condition in which the
forebrain goes to sleep. This condition has been recognized and is described by
philosophical writers like P.D. Ouspensky. In his terms, the forebrain is under the
control of a caretaker I, a secondary personality without contact with the real
world, who stumbles around disturbing the furniture in the darkness and creates
peculiar hallucinations.
Many people evolve naturally to a state where there is the ability to shut off
the forebrain in this manner, by an act of will, in order to be able to experience a
kind of non-ordinary reality, or mystical state. But this is the state the adaptive
schizophrenic is stuck in.
A clue to this condition is that the patient is capable of a high rate of reflective
sensori-motor learning. He will have the ability to learn to play a musical instrument
at least to a limited degree by observation alone. One case in our personal
experience is that of someone learning to play the piano in half an hour and a report
of someone passing their driving test after only a few hours tuition the same
morning. Infant prodigies and cases of calculating prodigies able to perform long
arithmetic sums in their head fall into the same category. Such powers have a price.
Verbal IQ may be as low as 100, but motor-motor and mathematical IQ can be as
high as 200. Furthermore the state will worsen if the subject is writing with the
wrong hand. When the left hemisphere of the mid-brain is acting the role of the
forebrain it has little extra capacity, so dyslexia may be an added complication. The
state of arousal of the left midbrain may be high, but the caretaker in the forebrain
may also produce high arousal by internal activity.
Further symptoms will be a reduced capacity to handle abstract concepts
although there will be a high degree of motivation. There will be hints, too, of the
introverted activity that is going on. The BPG Meter in this case would be used in
the Hand-Foot Mode to seek to arouse the forebrain (if it is not already so) by a
careful selection of tasks involving abstract ideas. If the subject is free from physical
lesions the forebrain will strive to integrate higher functions and operate correctly.
It will however also be necessary to lower the arousal of the motor- motor
mid-brain, and some form of sensory deprivation can only achieve this, i.e. special
conditions, which reduce visual, auditory and sensory stimulation. It would therefore
be necessary to have the lull service of a specially constructed laboratory in order to
obtain any kind of remission from this condition.
If as a result of environmental conditioning consciousness becomes confined in
limited areas of one lobe of the brain, which as a consequence remains in a high
state of arousal, this can lead .to a state of hormonal imbalance throughout the body.
Many of the persons so affected tend to be homosexual as a consequence.
The greatest percentage of people with a sideways imbalance of functional
control in the brain is to be found in professions associated with the theatre. It could
therefore be argued that this environmental type of malfunction fulfills a need for
society. To cure such a person completely, that is, to reallocate tasks to other parts
of the brain, might even make them no longer competent as performers. So do not
attempt to use mind development methods on them unless they are aware of the
consequences.

PART TWO
One of her most important discoveries was that certain talents or abilities in
individuals could be related to specific frequencies recorded at this subtle level
between 100 and 1600 Hz For instance, in materialistically minded people the
frequencies fell in the lower range below 250 Hz People with healing abilities had
frequencies between 400 and 800 Hz. Persons with psychic ability, who can
channel information from non-physical sources, seemed to operate in a narrow band
from 800 to 900 Hz Those with frequencies above 900 are what she calls mystical
personalities, those who are able to act upon the information they get from psychic
sources.
The question is whether such frequencies were being picked up from the EM
environment in which we are constantly bathed. This question will be dealt with at
length in succeeding paragraphs.
We have been doing research in the allied field of measuring changes in skin
resistance in relation to mental arousal. In the early stages of this research we were
aware of the existence of noise artifacts, as has already been mentioned, when
these resistance changes were amplified for the purpose of measurement. It should
be noted that noise is always created in relation to amplification of signals, especially
when these signals are comparatively weak. So we paid no special attention to the
artifacts and took steps to reduce higher frequencies above those we expected from
the electro-chemical changes in the body resulting from thought process, the cut-off
being about 30 Hz.
New technology has enabled the output from skin resistance measurement
devices to be fed into computers via an analogue to digital converter, which gives a
faithful representation of the resistance variations, just like an oscilloscope. In
addition it allows one to derive an Averaged Frequency Spectrum of all the signals
involved. A few years ago instruments that were capable of doing this cost
thousands of pounds.
When one looked at the normal oscilloscope display of resistance variations of
the human body we were presented with something that looked like the usual
Noise we had expected. But when one changed the presentation to that of an
Averaged Frequency Spectrum, one immediately became aware of certain sharp
peaks in frequency, which occurred at particular points and did not look like noise,
which would have had a random distribution. Moreover, these peaks seemed to
correspond with those referred to in Valerie Hunts work. This is odd, because if
these peaks resulted from something picked up from the computer by the bodys
aerial system, why did they correspond to what Valerie Hunt had found in her tests
and why did they vary from person to person?
It seems therefore, that we now have another avenue for exploring the effects
of the human energy field that is easier, cheaper and quite accurate. This can be
measured through variations of body resistance. A word of warning though, it turns
out that the human energy field is very sensitive to movement and the environment.
When someone moves the frequencies go all over the place due to muscle
potentials,, which are much greater. Similarly a neon strip light nearby will cancel all
the psychic peaks of the frequency spectrum in the range 0-2,000Hz and produces
some immense peaks at 2,400 Hz. It is interesting to note that after a few minutes
the body manages to adapt to such large inputs and the interference frequency
peaks decrease. If the body did not have this capability of adapting to the large EM
fields we are continually exposed to then we would all be in bad shape!
One has to be very calm and composed to get worthwhile results. Unlike the
former exhortations in the first part of this book, that required the subject to get in a
calm frame of mind, one can now see the effects of emotional arousal in the energy
field, which tend to wipe out the higher energy peaks. Likewise one needs to
carefully screen the input leads to avoid pick-up of mains frequency or other
electrical interference.
It is more than likely that further detailed research could provide a system that
would give instant personality profiles for aptitude assessment and many other
purposes, merely by a comparison of the frequency peaks found in the human
energy field.
The apparatus required is any 486 or better computer equipped with an A/D
input attachment, which is analyzed by a DOS program requiring about 1.5
Megabytes. A further program has now been written in Windows 95. The authors
can provide details of the converter and program, also of a Galvanic Skin Resistance
Meter suitable for these experiments.
VORTICES AND CHAOS THEORY
In her book Valerie Hunt goes on to suggest that there is a relationship
between the vortices of the human energy field and Chaos theory. There is a certain
point at which the energies cease to flow smoothly and become chaotic, as though
one can become emotionally charged to the point where rage and hysteria
supervene. When this happens the vortex is orientated to what is called an
Attractor some motive or powerful objective becomes the central point of ones
intention and all other things are forgotten, one loses all thought of the consequences
of ones actions. Such powerful intentions can be seen as sharp peaks in the energy
field.
Strangely enough this can be expressed in terms of the behavior of chaotic
systems. The different frequencies of rotation of the vortices of the successive
Chakras from Crown to Base follow a pattern of period doubling, as reflected in
the frequency spectrum and the colors in the aura. The wiping out of the peaks in
the energy field spectrum can be seen as one becomes more aroused, while a calmer
state of mind produces rounded peaks, presumably reflecting a more balanced area
of interest and ability.
This energy field business now begins to look very complicated and some of
the factors that have been discovered are listed below:
Here we must endeavour to explain the possible reason for the dramatic
alteration in the human energy field. Resulting from location and orientation. The
cause could largely magnetic and related to the Solar Wind, since one is recording
an electromagnetic event. The late Charles Brooker, former Chief Engineer at the
B.B.C. did some important research into these magnetic effects as they affected
human physiology. His books were ignored by the scientific establishment and never
published. Excerpts of his most important discoveries follow and it will be seen how
they relate to the subject of the human energy field.
There is also the suspicion that the electromagnetic fluctuations of the aura
may simply be an effect derived from a different kind of ether energy having a
much greater potency. The analogy would be that of immensely powerful waves in
the ocean that cause light to be reflected from them at different angles, but the
energy of the deflected light is a minute fraction of the energy of the wave in the
sea.
EXPERIMENTS BY THE SCIENTIFIC & MEDICAL
NETWORK SUB-GROUP AT BISLEY
Most of the early tests of the Human Energy Field were carried out at a
research facility provided by Audrey Edwards at her home in Bisley. Members of
the SMN Sub-Group met there regularly to discuss developments and test different
ideas.
Back in the hut on 23rd September, 1998, we did experiments with the place
completely blacked out using the doubly - polarized light from the lamp made up to
the design of Bob Cripps in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. Some of us did see
streamers of light between fingers, but unfortunately no colors. One does need a
sensitive for this kind of experiment. There is evidence however, that the aura can
be detected by irradiation with this doubly polarized light in a completely darkened
room, as claimed by Bob Cripps. This effect arises from the polarization of light that
occurs when it passes through crystals and other media subject to electric potentials.
All this points to the possibility that empty space we call it has a structure.
That aether itself contains shapes, which transmit energy in such a way that it
determines what occurs at the physical level. Such a hypothesis would flout the
principles of Special Relativity, which denied the existence of the aether.
FURTHER NOTES ON RESEARCH
A friend borrowed a GSR meter and did some tests at home on himself and
with his wife. He rang me a couple of days later and said the peaks were all due to
electrical interference of various kinds, AC mains radiation, and various frequencies
from his computer and other electric apparatus in the house. One of his key
assertions was that the peak frequencies for his wife and himself were the same. It
was pointed out that this was to be expected, since they had lived together for a
long time and his own records of brain waves showed that people in love shared the
same frequencies. This did not influence him to change his mind, which rather
depressed us.
However, the fact that neon strip lighting did not produce frequency peaks, as
one might have expected, but cancelled the whole frequency spectrum regardless,
seems to go counter to this friends contention about the effects of interference. It is
also noticeable that subjects frequencies vary from day to day, when there is no
change in ambient EM conditions. Other people being tested with our computer
show different peaks from one person to another, in the high frequency range,
which do not change when they distance themselves from the computer, but are
actually enhanced.
Another argument against the ambient fields explanation of these energy
peaks in the averaged spectrum is that the Bilateral meter tests the frequencies from
each hand separately and then adds them together in the circuit, so that the overall
readings of body resistance cancel each other out, as has already been explained.
One is left only with the variations between the hands, or opposed hemispheres of
the brain. In like manner, any ambient fields, that would affect both hands equally,
are also cancelled, leaving the energy field variations between the hands. This can be
demonstrated if one attempts to use just one set of electrodes, in one hand, as one
would do in Mode I. The energy field readings then vanish. This shows conclusively
that this energy field is something that affects the body bilaterally, from side to side,
and is not an overall body reaction.
Another evening while one subject was being tested, a new cluster of peaks
appeared in their spectrum very much larger than their usual ones. It was at 1400
Hz. The feeling was that some other energy was present, perhaps belonging to a
discarnate source. Can the auras of spirits produce such an effect on ones GSR? If
someone tries holding their hand behind the heads of people when they were being
tested, their own distinctive peaks begin to surface on the readings of the subject
under test. This would be a good means of finding out if anyone had healing ability,
particularly in the 400-800 Hz range.
Another friend of mine, who does counseling for people in prison, was
contacted to see if he would be interested in testing prisoners at H.M. Prison at
Coldingley. Changes of frequency and the appearance of new high-frequency peaks
might be an indication of the effectiveness of the remedial counseling and training
the prisoners were receiving. The view was that our method needed much more
trials. Where better to do the trials than on a captive audience, who might be
encouraged to learn that they had a spiritual aura as well as a gross, physical body?
Peter, on the other hand, who owns a Video Shop, seemed very enthusiastic
and thought there may be a means of getting more test results, if people visiting his
shop would want to stop a moment to have their aura taken.
On Tuesday 19th August 1997 Peter turned up with a crowd of his friends at
the workshop in Bisley and we went through them looking at their energy fields. It
was a very hot evening and the author was quite tired, but the results were most
unpromising. On every trace of the averaged energy spectrum that was taken from
those present was registering this enormous peak around 300 Hz. Usually when
each subject released the electrodes the trace collapsed to zero, likewise when we
switched on the Neon strip light. But this was not happening. The trace remained
there obstinately and only smaller peaks, including those that could be identified with
various people imposed themselves on it when we were being tested. We searched
around desperately for a source of interference. John had brought his tape recorder
and was copying tapes, so this was ordered to be shut down, with no effect. All
lights went out, but it made no difference. Excuses were made as best we could and
the session ended.
Later, when the events of the evening were being considered, it was suspected
that someone in that group had brought a powerful entity with them - something
exerting very powerful drives at a low, sexual-type energy, which completely
overrode anything anybody could produce. It should be added that a couple of the
girls were scantily clad due to the heat. We began to be worried, because if entities
as powerful as this were being attracted by the prospect of registering themselves,
then we would really face some danger from their influence.
As a postscript to this incident, when Audrey opened the lab next morning a
frog hopped out. There was no way it could have got in while the crowd of us were
milling about the night before. I almost asked Audrey if she had tried kissing it. Was
the frog some embodiment of Freudian symbolism? Audrey said it was trying to
jump out of the windows, which were closed. When she showed it the door it gave
her a knowing look and boldy hopped out.
The following morning, energy fields of people involved were tried again, just
to reassure ourselves. We got some very reassuring peaks at 900 and 1800 Hz back
to normal. We sighed with relief. Then we went back to Bisley to see if the energy
of the entity was still there. It was surprising to find the energies quite different in
the daytime in this location. There were new peaks at 600 and a huge one at 2100
Hz, more like a mountain. As subjects swiveled on the stool in front of the
computer, the peaks were seen to change. They got bigger as one faced the East.
Then they decreased when one turned back to the original position.
This energy field business was beginning to look very complicated and this
confirmed the findings we had listed above.
We began to believe in the Chinese science of Feng Shui. We realized that we
had in our hands a tool for working out exactly which time and position would
produce the most advantageous operation of psychic energies. We saw why
churches and places of worship were so precisely sited and orientated. This seemed
to be the starting point for another avenue of research that we hope to take up in
future.
When attending a lecture on Yoga at a weekend seminar, the speaker
produced a diagram of the Chakras as seen from a side view. This is reproduced in
the diagram on the next page. It will be seen that each Chakra consists of a vortex
and that the five middle ones runs from front to back of the body. It will be
apparent that, when a person is facing the source of Pranic energy, it passes directly
into each of these Chakra vortices and is thus enhanced. The Crown and Base
Chakras are in the vertical plane. The source of this Pranic energy is what I have
presumed to be the Solar Wind (or aether wind), that whistles around the surface of
the earth from East to West, at 400 mph at these latitudes, as the earth rotates
relative to it, the aether being fixed in the direction of the Sun.
TELEPATHY EXPERIMENTS
Continuing the tests at Audreys hut on 2nd Sept 1997 Ken tried sending
colours and other shapes to Peter and others. He has a quite strong personality that
makes him a good communicator and new frequencies showed up when he was
transmitting to others on the Meter. We have to do more tests to establish if the
imagined colours correspond fully with the auric colour frequencies in the chart
above.
A new visitor to our group had suffered a recent bereavement. Though she
seemed apparently to have recovered from her loss, the energy field showed rapidly
changing waves across the width of the spectrum, rather than fixed peaks. The
energy field was also very responsive to the proximity of others, as though their
sympathy was palpable.
Another friend was just out of hospital having had a prostate operation when
he was tested at his home in Devon. The third of his four energy peaks was very
much lower than the rest. This had been noted before when someone else was
tested, who also had prostate trouble. It seemed as though the third of the energy
peaks in this region below 250 Hz. corresponded to the Sacral Chakra and the sex
organs, just as Valerie Hunt had indicated.
At this point, needing a break, I took myself off to a weekend retreat to listen
to a series of talks on various subjects among which was one on visualization and
meditation. The speaker mentioned that it was a good idea to meditate in the bath.
With a sudden flash of insight I realized this would be the perfect way to ensure that
the body was screened from all electrical interference, since water absorbs all
electromagnetic waves very effectively. One must be careful, nevertheless, to make
sure that there was no connection whatsoever with mains driven apparatus because
of the risk of electrocution! This experiment would have to wait until I had acquired
a battery-driven Laptop computer.
FURTHER RESEARCH WITH A BATTERY-DRIVEN
LAPTOP COMPUTER
Some weeks later, having acquired a Laptop computer, it was now able to
carry out the critical test of seeing whether the energy field disappeared when the
body was completely screened from random electromagnetic fields. The field
generated by the laptop is insignificant, so it was only necessary to immerse oneself
in the bath. Plots were taken before and during the bath, by placing a wooden shelf
across the bath. The difference was that the immersion of the body in water caused
all the low frequency peaks, due to muscle potentials, up to 250 Hz to disappear, as
one might have expected. But the Chakra frequencies from 600 Hz upwards
remained.
The Laptop computer, being highly portable, proved an excellent tool to
eliminate objections on the grounds of stray fields from alternating current mains or
the high voltage VDU screens. It could be tried out in many different locations,
indoors and outdoors. In particular, when using it on a number of people at Hourne
Farm, a New Age Seminar Centre in East Sussex, during a weekend study group
on 18th October 1997 it was found here that there were four distinct peaks of
energy in the low frequency region among those recorded, irrespective of location
or direction. This confirmed the physiological aspect of these particular readings, as
distinct from the emotional and mental aspects of higher frequencies.
A week or so later a lady friend asked to have an energy field reading on the
meter and computer. At first she showed a healthy line of peaks, but when she
started talking about problems she had experienced lately at work, the reading
changed dramatically. All the peaks disappeared and were replaced with a flat trace
of a purely static character. I was taken aback, it was as if she had pulled down a
screen over her energy field. When I questioned her about this she told me how she
had developed this ability to put a screen around herself and calm the emotions of
the people around her, simply by not responding to their anger or fear. In my mind
I had likened this to body armour, something people like policemen, soldiers,
doctors and nurses have to develop in order to cope with continuous heavy trauma.
Normal emotional reactions are completely suppressed. We remember the words of
Shakespeares Henry V before Harfleur - then lend to the eye a terrible aspect, let it
pry through the portage of the head, let the brow oerwhelm it. This epitomizes the
way people adapt to traumatic circumstances by an effort of will.
Pattis state was different, however. She was not brutalized by trauma, but
instead had found a potent means to cool it. I next thought to look for what might
be involved at higher frequencies up to 8kHz I there found four very high peaks
from 2KHz, to 7 KHz. I had earlier formed the impression that peaks in this high
frequency area represented spiritual entities - to have four of them was surely a
bonus, coupled with her protective shield it made Patti almost invulnerable to any
kind of verbal assault.
Further tests on a friend showed how vulnerable people can be to conditions
like diabetes. On taking his energy field shortly after arrival, having driven along
crowded roads for about fifty miles, the trace was remarkable for the lack of energy
peaks of any kind. However, after a rest and some refreshment, the energy peaks
came back quite strongly. This same person had strong peaks, which showed up, in
the high frequency region. He was convinced that some kind of entity was attacking
him and was not at all relieved to see some evidence of this.
A THEOSOPHICAL INTERLUDE
After incidents like this one often can begin to believe in occult teachings
about guardian angels, likewise in less desirable things like demonic possession.
The high frequencies at which these entities operate undoubtedly gives them the
power to override the psychic energy of a mere mortal, especially when one is
multi-tasked by having to look after bodily and social needs.
Guardian angels can be rather coy. Some friends who were intrigued by the
recorded energy fields insisted on having them taken again and again. After the
second recording the peaks for the guardian entities disappeared. Either their energy
was exhausted or they disliked being put on view. This does not apply to demonic
possession.
In some cases, however, I have to emphasize the necessity for exorcism and
we are indebted to Eugene Maurey, who proposes certain techniques in his book on
Exorcism (1985).
He emphasizes that one should ALWAYS keep at a distance from the client,
say six feet or more. The most likely candidates for spirit possession are inadequate
individuals who have probably degenerated into layabouts, drug users, alcoholics or
criminals. A total stranger is best for doing the exorcism.
Maureys technique was to dowse for intruding spirits, using a pendulum
and/or dowsing rods. The energy field detection system using a computer is a
valuable adjunct for detection for those who lack dowsing skills. A good tip is that
the exorcist needs to be rested, fed and watered, in warm and pleasant surroundings
and emotionally undisturbed. The exorcist also needs to be equipped with their
personal ring of protection, as mentioned in the case above. In the old days a
pentacle was drawn on the floor and one had to keep inside it. Nowadays it suffices
to adopt a mental image of a barrier around oneself. Maurey describes erecting a
barrier of brilliant white light around himself. One need not be so dramatic, a heavy
helmet and cloak, like that worn by Daarth Vader, would suffice.
It would also be advisable to determine whether in fact one had protecting
entities around, as in the case of Patti above. Most people have them and later in life
become very conscious of the protection they afford. If one knows the name they
go under, they can be invoked. The guide can then act as an intermediary. It is
inadvisable to contact invading spirits directly. I know it says in the New Testament
that Jesus and his disciples did it, but you may not be in the same league as them!
However awful the invading spirit is, (and they are generally not nice or
reasonable) they will probably have something, or another entity, which they can
relate to and who can exert peer pressure on them. Your spirit guide has the task of
finding this friend, relative or teacher that the invading entity can see, recognize and
trust.
When this is done, it is up to the exorcist to initiate a dialogue through their
spirit guide and the other mediating entity, in an effort to persuade the possessing
spirit that they do not belong on this earth plane. Note here that guardian angels
can give warnings and avert dangers, but they cannot otherwise act without
direction. Angels react but dont have volition. Their prime directive is not to
interfere.
Possessing entities are both stubborn and unreasonable, they may not enjoy
the company of kindred spirits or go quietly. So it may become necessary to apply
pressure. Here the visualization technique again comes in useful. Try to imagine the
Ghostbusters technique of forcing the spirit into a container with a strong field
around it and shutting the lid. If you havent watched this series then the Arabian
Nights idea of the Genie trapped in a bottle will do, so long as you dont forget to
put in the cork.
It requires psychic energy to create visualizations, so it cannot be kept up for
long. It only needs to be long enough to persuade the entity that they would be
better off leaving with their kindred spirit.
Nevertheless, they or others like them, will probably be back, once the person
you are treating gets drunk, drugged or depressed again. So you may have to go
through the whole ritual again. Habits are difficult to break, but if you persist, the
person will eventually gain enough will power to build their own defenses.
THE REIKI INITIATION
The author had the good fortune to be able to take a Reiki Initiation, staged
over a weekend by Audrey Edwards at Bisley. There were six on the course and
each was attuned four times. Fortunately a graph had been taken of my energy field
just before the course. On the day afterwards another graph was taken and the
change was astonishing. It seemed the whole energy field had shifted and there was
an enormous peak in the Psychic region which was not there before, since I do not
regard myself as a psychic person, nor a healer. I was tempted to believe that there
is more to Reiki than has been supposed; it seems to produce a profound change in
Chakra energisation. One could in fact be opened up to the reception of the Ki or
Chi energy for the purpose of transmuting it, or acting as a channel for such energy
as part of the process of healing. The Reiki teaching suggests that the initiation
should be followed by a period of 21 days re-adjustment, during which signs of a de-
toxification process may be noted, as the Ki energy flows through the body and
clears out the mess. One should drink plenty of water to assist this cleansing process.
My daughter came on the course with me and she, too, exhibited this strong,
psychic peak afterwards at the same frequency, which I now accept as a
characteristic marker of the Reiki attunement. The same test will be tried on others
as the occasion arises. It will certainly distinguish genuine attunements from
ineffectual ones.
ANIMAL ENERGY FIELDS
The other day I went out to visit friends in Farnham. After taking their energy
fields and having a general discussion the lady introduced her dog, Bentinck, and
insisted that I try to record its energy field as well. It seemed a well-behaved hound
and so I struggled to get a reading on the BPG Meter while she held its paws in
each of the can electrodes.
When I had got a steady needle I captured the spectrum on the Laptop, which
didnt look much different from a typical human, with peaks here and there. I
suppose all mammals read more or less alike in varying degrees, but I admit this is a
tough one for some religious people who dont admit that animals have any spiritual
qualities.
Anyway I have a supporter in Murry Hope, in her book Paschats and the
Crystal People, she writes: - There is many a cat, dog or horse that is an evolved
spirit, much further up the ladder of spiritual evolution than a large percentage of
your hominid Population.
THE EFFECT OF DRINK AND DRUGS
A friend called recently and asked for a reading of his energy field following a
strange psychic experience he had had the same morning. He had been directed by
an inner voice to Frimley, a place he had never been before. On arrival he went into
the large pub at the corner of the High Street and there encountered an old woman
who related her experience to him of seeing a UFO shaped like a bus, about eight
years previously, which she had told no one about before. Being a UFO enthusiast
he recalled a similar incident related to him by two RAF Officers at an aerodrome
nearby. The incident unnerved him and he had a drink to steady his nerves. What
the energy reading showed, I feel, was not the result of the psychic experience, but
the effect of one pint of beer. His higher energies, obvious on a previous occasion,
had been flattened. In their place the energies of the lower centers had been
amplified. This is in contrast to the case where the higher energies were deliberately
shut down by an act of will, in order to deal with a difficult situation in the physical
world. It seems therefore, that drugs and alcohol will produce an involuntary
shutdown of the higher faculties. One should not therefore partake in any form of
chemical indulgence before an energy reading, otherwise a totally distorted graph
results.
EXPERIMENTS IN AMERICA
Measurements of the energy fields of many people were carried out across the
United States during the summer of 1999, Arkansas, San Francisco and Los
Angeles. One of the main purposes was to see if there were any changes in the
lower end of the field frequencies as a result of the different mains voltage, 110 AC
and the higher frequency of 60 Hz. It was found that there was no measurable
difference in the energy field characteristics up to 250 Hz.
The energy field measurements were of particular interest to groups claiming
to conduct therapies that increased human potential and power. One such group was
called Access, with branches in various cities around the United States and in
England.
MUSIC, THE CHAKRAS AND THE ENERGY FIELD
Since Valerie Hunts work puts the Chakra frequencies within the tonal range
of music, I suppose one might see a link between the two. Perhaps one finds music
uplifting because it keys in certain Chakra energies. Anyway I thought the matter
worth further study, since I had now developed a practical means of pinpointing
what these frequencies were. It came as some surprise to find, that in the earlier part
of this century there were four tonal scales being used:
The London International Conference of 1939 brought all these scales, except
Physics, together by choosing Treble A to be 440 Hz. Middle C became about 264
Hz. This made it much easier for singers visiting different countries to sing in tune.
The interval of the eleven-note scale then became the 12th root of 2 or 1.0595.
The lowest common factors of the Basic, Natural or Diatonic Scale were as
follows, with the sharps fitting untidily between:
C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C
24 (25.2) 27(28.28) 30 32 (33.6) 36 (37.7) 40 (42.4) 45 48
The rationale of the new scale was to multiply this basic scale by 11, which
was the number of the notes it contained. The interval may seem untidy, but it
results in the following harmonies between the white notes on the keyboard:
C D E F G A B C
8/9 9/10 15/16 8/9 9/10 8/9 15/16 8/9
Base Chakra 200; Sacral Chakra 300; Spleen Chakra 400; Stomach Chakra
500, Heart/Thymus Chakra 600; Throat Chakra 700; Brow Chakra 800;
Crown Chakra 1000.
This scale spans over two octaves. If one constructs a basic scale from the
evidence of energy fields I have so far accrued it would look something like this,
with harmonics below:
A much more tuneful scale. The highest harmonic of the Black notes is 11.
The multiplier is obtained by squaring the last number, 32. The actual frequencies of
the scale then are as follows:--
256; 288; 320; 352; 384; 448; 512; 576; 640; 704; 768; 896; 1024
This is fairly obviously a scale with scientific appeal, since it uses powers of 2.
It takes into account the muscle frequencies at the lower end of the range, which
finish around 250Hz and the thousand-petalled Lotus at the Crown Chakra, a
thousand times as fast as a heartbeat. True it is only a six-note scale, but does one
need the extra notes of the eleven-note scale, which dont really harmonize very
well? It is reported that Debussy used a six-note scale for some of his music. Perhaps
someone else would like to write some music in this scale so one could see what it
sounds like. It might be quite therapeutic. The tones would leap about in a dramatic
way, rising to piercing heights, quite unlike contemporary music. The separation of
the notes would make singing to the lower octave much easier.
The idea of constructing a musical scale related to the Chakras is not new. In
her book Sound Therapy Olivea Dewhurst-Maddox (1993) lists a single octave of
musical notes corresponding to the Chakras on Page 118. Most people, it seems,
have a natural scale of their own. Those who believe themselves tone deaf, or
who have difficulty in singing, should be encouraged to sing notes that they can
manage without difficulty. The singing teacher can then pick up the key, which they
would be best able to sing in. Trying to sing in tune with a piano may be very
difficult, when the keyboard contains so many compromises in frequency to
accommodate a twelve-note scale. The guitar offers greater flexibility in keying,
which may account for its popularity.
However, the two-octave scale I suggest, and the frequencies related to
powers of two, is more in keeping with the fundamental sway of Yin and Yang, the
constant interaction of energies in healthy existence. I did some tests of the effect of
music on the energy field with two subjects, Simon and Kathy, as recorded in the
Charts. It seemed to enhance the lower frequencies.
GEOMETRY AND HARMONY
I am indebted to Malcolm Stewart and his article on the Seed of Harmony
in his magazine Syncrysta (1999) Page 5 Issue 1. Where he points out that
harmonies on the existing twelve-note tonal scale can be arrived at by a variation of
the ratios 3:4:5. This relates to the proportions of the right-angled triangle used by
the ancients from prehistoric times, in all forms of mensuration. The squares of the
two shorter sides when added, equal the square on the longer side, or hypotenuse.
By equally spacing the notes around the circumference of a circle one arranges the
proportion of the sectors in the ratios 3,4,5; 4,3,5; 5,3,4; 5,4,3; 3,5,4; 4,5,3. These
combinations all produce major and minor chords that are pleasant to the human
ear.
The Sector 3,4,5, combination, taking C at the top of the circle, gives
D#,G,C, for example, with frequencies of 311.1, 392, 261.6 in the ratio 4,5,3, the
minor chord in C.
Supposing the circle covered two Octaves, as in the Chakra Scale, the 3,4,5
sector sequence would have frequencies of 352, 640 and 256, in the ratios 5,9,4, a
big leap in the middle would make the sound quite extraordinary.
Malcolm also points out that the Mandlebrot Set, defining the chaotic outline
between infinity and zero, may have some connection to our concept of harmony.
In his illustration there are two logarithmic spirals converging towards each other at
the base of the figure. The convergence factor for each revolution of the spiral, or
the power of the root which must be found of the original diameter at each turn,
may express something fundamental relating to harmony, or perhaps the nature of
the Universe itself. A simple formula like z = z2 + c (where c is a complex
number) creates a pattern by a collection of dots on the computer screen that
gradually builds up into a beautiful pattern.
Pursuing the Chaos dynamics in relation to fluids, for our bodies are 95%
water. DArcy Thompson (1961) had an intuition that there were deep seated
rhythms of growth in living organisms which created universal forms. He believed
that physical laws must explain and govern these forms. Behind the visible shapes of
organisms must lie ghostly forms, serving as invisible templates. All these forms
were in organized patterns of motion derived from fractal equations. Libchaber
pursued such ideas in connection with the behavior of liquid Helium, which has a
very low viscosity, so it will respond to the slightest pressure or temperature change,
less than one thousandth of a degree in fact. He embedded microscopic temperature
probes in the fluid and charted the intricate behavior of the turbulence that resulted
from such slight heating of the Helium. The fluid organized itself into rolling
cylinders. It was the spit of flow that Lorenz had modeled in his three famous
equations. With more heating the first rolling cylinder was bifurcated, then instability
sets in and a kink develops in each roll. The kink moves steadily back and forth,
then new bifurcations developed, with erratic peaks and valleys. The spectrum
diagram of such behavior begins to look like the frequencies that make up a
complex chord played by a symphony orchestra. The frequency peaks rise up out of
the fuzziness of the noise, very much like the energy spectrum I have plotted so
many times and it poses the question whether our own energy system is derived
from the chaotic body currents resulting from heating by the stomach. The
frequency doubling that goes on results in new peaks at four, eight, sixteen times the
basic tone, which is exactly how the Chakra frequencies appear to relate.
YOGA PRACTICES AND THE HUMAN ENERGY FIELD.
A parallel study of the effects of meditation and Yoga techniques upon
different centres of the body has been carried out by Hiroshi Motoyama (1981).
Changes in the galvanic skin resistance of the body, heart rate, breathing rate and
ECG were measured simultaneously in an electrically screened room, while the
subjects were concentrating upon different centres in the body. His conclusions were
that a form of Psi energy existed, which could be made to increase or decrease the
normal activity of the various Chakra centers. The decrease in normal electrical
activity as a consequence of mental attention was remarkable. It would seem that
centers like the stomach and heart have a smooth, natural rhythm. Meditative
practices should only seek to maintain such natural rhythms. If anything out of the
normal is attempted, then digestive troubles and heart arrhythmia can result.
Overuse and abuse of the heart chakra can lead to disease and death.
The author remembers well the case of a friend who rose early every morning
to practice opening the charkas and who seemed in the best of health. He died
suddenly of a heart attack while on the platform delivering a lecture.
Hiroshi also detected high frequency energy emissions in the region 10 KHz
to 100 KHz something that is unaccountable by any physiological process. His
findings tend to confirm that mental energies are of such a high order and
frequency, that if they are directed downwards into the autonomic functions of the
body, without due care, the results can be disastrous. If one is to effect healing of
some particular body centre, then it is best that the healing frequency and energy is
applied from outside. Given that the subjects frequency spectrum is available, then
that exact frequency can be used to assist healing. If the frequency is off by even a
small amount, then fibrillation and beat waves will be produced. This results in the
parasympathetic reaction that has been observed by Hiroshi.
Our own research has found that Indians, whose cultural background is linked
to Yoga practices, tend to react badly when attempts are made to measure their
GSR. Their heightened Psi ability tends to make them go instantly into a defensive
mode, rather like the case of Patti, mentioned previously. Skin resistance will
become so high that measurements are not possible.

THE NATURAL RESONANT FREQUENCIES OF THE HUMAN
BODY
The idea that the Chakras spanned two octaves of the musical scale and the
chance remark about tone-deaf people being taught to sing by sounding their own
preferred tones, leads on to the idea of measuring ones own tonal resonances and
creating sounds suitable for oneself. One needs an accurate tone generator. This
produces tones that are injected into the body as electrical waves through clip on
electrodes. The resonances can then be measured in the usual way, using the
averaged frequency spectrum of the body. The height of the various peaks of the
injected tones will vary in response to the reaction of the body. Resonance would
indicate the precise frequency of whatever Chakras are responding.
This is a similar method of treatment to that adopted by Earl De La Warr at
Rayleigh Park, Oxford in the l95Os. No means then existed of precise measurement
of the effects of such treatment, one simply judged efficacy by the amount of
damping of the injected frequency that occurred. A histogram was produced which
showed the relationship of the energy injected into a limb at a given frequency to
the signal power on the opposite side of the limb. This was related to muscle tone as
the criteria of good health. How sad that De La Warr was before his time and
denied the means of proving his conjectures.

4. Temperature Probes
A set of probes can be provided with thermistor bulbs to be used with the
BPG meter in Mode 2 for the purpose of monitoring differential changes in
temperature of different centres of the brain and of parts of the body, that may
occur as a result of focusing mental attention on different ideas or different organs.
This is basically for the purpose of checking ones progress with certain Yogic
exercises, but it is also a fascinating field of research for the enthusiast. The higher
ranges of the BPG meter are especially suitable for this purpose of temperature
monitoring.
The temperature probes used are quite tiny, being designed to follow
relatively fast changes in body temperature over a range of perhaps one tenth of a
degree Celsius. This may not sound exciting, but a considerable amount of heat
energy would be involved if such a change took place in one second. It would
indicate that the heat producing aspects of cell metabolism responded
sympathetically to mental attention, as is taught in schools of Yoga. Such selective
response in different parts of the body and specific centres of the brain, is quite
distinct from the overall homeostasis maintained by the lower brain centres.

APPENDIX 1
ESP Procedure
Having dealt with the rigorously clinical approach to psychogalvanic
measurement of skin resistance throughout this book the author ought to be allowed
one last suggestion in the field of extrasensory perception. This arises simply because
the BPG Meter is such an ideal tool for testing claims about ESP and Yoga. It can
show unequivocally whether any Yoga enthusiast is beginning to attain a degree of
control of the autonomic processes of the body, which he aims to realize, long
before such changes can manifest themselves as overt changes. Thus he is enabled to
pursue the most fruitful type of exercise for his purpose.
This particular Procedure is intended as a test for psychic sensitives and can
be undertaken at two levels - the instinctive and the emotional level.
Firstly in Mode 1, with the BPG Meter, one must get the subject in a relaxed
state. In a nearby room and out of sight of the subject, a photographic likeness of
him is then exposed to a series of bright strobe flashes of light. See if there is any
correlation between the flashing and the arousal state of the subject.
Secondly in Mode 2, follow procedure 4 to obtain a still mind. Then in a
neighbouring room stab a pin into either side of the photo and see whether any
corresponding differential movement of the meter needle occurs.
If your results are positive try repeating the experiments at ever increasing
distances between the subject and the photograph. You will soon be able to tell
whether you have found a true sensitive and you will also have discovered a means
of transmitting information telepathically. If too many people give positive results in
this type of experiment, then the laws of physics will have to be re-written!
It is interesting to note that Cleve Backster, the C.I.A. Polygraph expert,
(Secret Life of Plants), after discovering the effects of human intention on plants,
went on to experiment with many other living organisms. He also developed a
technique for keeping alive for eight hours, human lymphocytes, taken from the
mouth. The lymphocyptes were kept alive in vitro and wired up for recording in the
laboratory, he was then able to keep track of the emotional states of the donors even
when they were up to eight miles away. This further demonstrated the holographic
potential of the aether field surrounding human body. It appears to be able to detect
resonances between genetic material detached from the host at a considerable
distance. These resonances however, are not frequency specific, as has already been
pointed out, aetheric resonance relies on form. It is mimicked by odour carrying
pheromes which have to fit into suitably shaped receptors in the nose, also in the
case of synaptic junctions and many other biomolecular structures.

APPENDIX 2
Breathing Rates and their Effect on BPG Meter Readings.
The initial instructions in Yoga techniques is concerned with the regulation of
breathing rate. In later exercises the student of Yoga is taught to hold the breath for
progressively longer periods as an aid to mental development.
As regards the effect of breathing upon the Readings of the BPG Meter, the
intake of breath induces a rise in cortical arousal, i.e. a slight fall in psychogalvanic
resistance. Exhalation induces a higher body resistance and a focus of concentration
upon doing things in the external world. The breathing-in period may thus generally
be connected with introversion and exhalation with extroversion.
It is therefore easier to monitor the flow of consciousness during inhalation,
and this is also the most useful phase for learning new types of responses and
correcting maladaptive conditioning. The exercises described in the text of this book
can be most easily performed during the period of inhalation, which should be
prolonged as long a necessary for this purpose, especially when using the meter on
the high sensitivity ranges. The exhalation period should likewise be kept as short a
can be managed as it increases the muscular output by 15% and therefore is a
disturbing influence.
