Cape May Warbler and Little Blue Butterfly ‘The Cape May Warbler is misnamed as it is seen far more often during the spring and fall migration in Florida and Georgia than at Cape May, New Jersey. The Cape May breeds in the far north of Canada, nesting in the upper branches of fir and spruce trees. It migrates across the United States, usually arriving in Key West by November. Although itis rarely seen cexcept during migration, when it funnels across the eastern ‘United States and into Florida, I did observe one with a huge flock of other warbler species at Little Switzerland, North Carolina on August 19, 1975, indicating that these Canadian breeding birds leave the far north easly in August. The beauti- ful spring colored male is most often seen around cown and village lawns in Plorida during April and May, the time of the spring migration north. ‘This bird obtained the unsuitable name of Cape May Warbler from Alexander Wilson. He named it from a speci- ‘men collected in 1811 at a maple swamp near Cape May, New Jersey by his friend George Ord. Wilson was, in truth, the igreatest American ornithologist. He is less well known than John J. Audubon, because Audubon was also a great painter and a favorite of bird artists ‘The Cape May winters in the Bahamas and West Indies. Te may be headed for extinction thanks to insecticides spread about lands below our southern borders by American corpora tions. There has been 2 50% drop in warbler counts over the past 20 years. Healthy soil could stop this. ‘The Little Blue Lycaena butterfly is common across the entire United States. Lycaena pseudargiolus has many subspe- cies, each exhibiting color variations. In general, i is pale blue with black wing margins. It feeds on the petals of dogwood blossoms.

Gorter of the Zeeman Laboratories of the University of Leyden in the Netherlands. Dr. Gorter, a professor of experimental physics at the University of Leyden, was in his thirties when the book was written between 1944-45, During that time he was unable to experiment, so the treatise is highly theoretical and mathemat- ical, Hewas“confined” tooneroomof the Zeeman Laboratories during these years, known as the starvation years in Holland. Not only had Hitler depleted the food supplies of his vievims, but males between 20 and 40 were regularly picked up in the streets and sent to labor camps. Dr. Gorter was forced to hide out in the Zeeman Labs and rarely ventured outside. The laboratory was safer than his hhome, which could be invaded at any moment. He wrote the entire work while so confined. Fortunately he survived the war. I think of him as a lucky, scientific, Anne Frank. Ic was his chapter on “Crystalline Fields” and the interac- tion between magnetic ions that led me to look at the para~ ‘magnetic force in rock and then on to soil, which is eroded rock. After all, rocks are crystalline. don’t know if Dr. Gorter is alive today, bt alive or dead, I dedicate this work to his memory. Ie is fiting that a force that in the long run (if farmers will only listen) could prevent star vation all over the world, was first delineated by a victim of starvation. Itis also ironic that Dr. Gorter himself wrote, “The study of paramagnetic relaxation is not an important chapter in modern physies.” It still is not! Acknowledgement A very special thanks to Dr. Robert Wilkinson, entomolo- gist, and Dr. Jeffrey Klein, M.D. for their constant help in the Fields and woods of Florida, digging soil and measuring fre {quencies, and to Kenneth Silver who had the fortitude to fol- low me into the jungles of the Amazon in order to measure river banks and tree canopy frequencies. Also a special thanks to Ann and Charles Walters and Pred Walters for years of ‘encouragement and helping publish my life work. Lastly, without the help and encouragement of many friends, this book would not have been written. Most impor- tant are Lee Leitner, Dr. Edward O’Brien, Robert Pike, Dr. Arden Andersen, and Harry Kornberg. Foreword ‘The fundamental trait that separates Phil Callahan from most other members of his profession is that of con ceit — Callahan’ total lack of it. Most scientists believe their extreme specialization is the high road to enlightenment. They believe they are above nature and have the right to ‘manipulate, to re-engineer nature. And they believe they alone are the keepers of the keys of knowledge for their narrow fields of focus, Callahan is different. His every move reflects a cross-pollination of ideas. Always open to new thoughts, whether from a scientist or 3 farmer, from nature or from the ancients, he makes sense of seemingly incongruous areas of knowledge. Quite often the cross-pollination process begins in his own mind, drawing from his own rich, diverse background. A painter and a math~ ematician, a writer and a physicist, poet and a biologist. When it comes to left-brain and ‘right-brain thinking, he might well be the first man with two brains. Ever humble, he adores nature and Gods beautiful sys- tems. He respects those peoples who have come before us, seeking to understand them, not to judge. And he truly loves farmers, their vastly underappreciated role in our society not- withstanding. For Phil Callahan, scientific discovery starts first with an observation of nature. Then his computer-like brain locates the common thread that links that observation with others. More often than not, no one else has found that thread. It is through the magical combination of his background in phys- , biology, chemistry, geology, archacology, astronomy, his- toryandreligionthatthebackboneofthisbook—Paramagnetiom —came about fo “The author believes wih all of his heart tha this is the ost important book of his life.

I was read, or T should say scanned, $0 quickly that I retained only dim memories of its content. What I do remember is that it dwelled on farming techniques in India; techniques like those which have been in use by the Irish since ancient Celtie times. My bible for pre-World War IL Irish farming is the mas- tespiece Irish Heritage, by the astute professor of Queens University, Belfast, F. Estyne Evans. It isthe only book Ihave ‘wo copies of — one in my lab, and one in my den. T had, between 1944 and 1946, lived in Fermanagh ‘County, located in Northern Ireland on the Denegal border. I was, in truth, a sergeant in the Army Air Corps, but may as well have been a T9th-century potato farmer, for T was far ‘more interested in the natural history and agriculture of the ‘beautiful Erne Valley than I was in the exactitudes of my job a8 @ low-frequency radio-range technician. ‘These were the years before the intrusion of deadly chemical farming. Ideas that are meaningful develop slowly. Sometime, long afer I left Ireland, I came to realize that plants, insects, and soil and the nebulous photons of electronie systems were al in Introduction one. Everything is connected to everything else, especially by the electromagnetie spectrum. Even in my younger days, if [had really paid artention to what Sir Albert was writing about, I would have realized that his life's work was built on a solid foundation and keen under- standing of the inner conectedness of all of nature. He had little use for the reductionist methods of modern science. More than any other agricultural scientist of his time, he understood that reductionism, like communism, might well lead to the destruction of viable agriculture, Physics isthe science that connects chemistry to biology. That being so, a scientist that does not have a basic under- standing of physics is more ignorant of life than a leaping flea hopper, which at least knows it must jump (physics) to feed (chemistry) on a plant (biology). In the mid-1970s, I was delighted to learn that my editor, Devin Garrity of the Devin-Adair Company, had published Sir Alberts book in the United States. He gave me a copy of the book under its new tile: The Soi and Health, Needless to say, [studied it more thoroughly this time around. The Sail and Healt is about the biological/chemical makeup of agriculture. Ie is one of the original treatises on composting and crop rota- tion. It also talks about the mess that the German chemist Jostus von Liebig started in agriculture with his “pure” chem- istry concept of plant growth. 6 Paremagnetiom Justus von Liebig, a laboratory chemist, equated life with N, P & K (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). I doubt very much if a a lad, he ever chewed om afresh piece of grass while cloud watching on his back, He published Chemistry in the Applicaton to Agricultare around 1840. His book preceded the igreat book on soil formation by Charles Darwin titled Tbe Farmation of Vegetable Mould Through the Actions of Worms, with Observations of Their Habits. This book shines with Darwin’ aura ‘of genius, unlike his treatise on the unprovable theory of evolu- tion. God probably has a hundred different ways of ereating life, ‘evolution being only one among many. Like creationism, itis @ reductionist either/or science. Because Darwin, like von Liebig and other biological chemists, overlooked the clegant work of the “two's” — John Tyndell and Nikola Tesla — he failed mis- ‘erably in his understanding of natural forces. It remained for another chemist, Julius Hensel, to point the way with his beauti- fully titled book, Bread rom Stones. He also had little use forthe concepts of von Licbig. He talks about von Liebig’ mistake: ny simpy, vom Lihig waste frst agricultaralchem- fst, He found that the ashes which remained from gin ‘mainly cncsed of phaophate of potas.

Because he was a chemist, like von Liebig, he emphasized the chemical constituents of stone, and therein lies the crux of what this and subsequent chapters are about. It isa dismaying fact that there are some rocks, including some granite, that when ground up and added to the soil accomplish little for plant growth even though they may con tain all the aforementioned chemicals. The simple and irreut- able fat is that ifthe force called paramagnetim is not present, litle benefit will acrue to the soi inspite of the fact that cer- tain proportions of the chemicals are present. This book is bout that force, one among many natural forces, but the one ‘most often missing from poor soil around the world Poor soil produces sick plants. Since insects are scaven- agers, they are attracted to both old and sick plants. They are nature’ recyclers. Crop plants should be young as they are harvested to eat. If they are young and healthy, insect losses 8 Paramagnetion are almost nil, If they are young and sick, losses from insects can be devastating. ‘We will deal then with growing healthy plants, but it does rot imply excluding the need to learn about the other two necessities of agriculture: composting and soil organisms. Books on composting and soil organisms abound. Add them to these words and all of the ingredients of a flourishing and viable agriculture will attain, Composting, Organisms of the soil, and the Paramagnetic force (COP) might well prevent a worldwide famine from destroying mankind. (ne lase thought for farmers, bu it equally applies to all of an ecological mindset, especially those in positions of lead- ership who are attempting to save our wilderness and our wildlife from destruction, Because plants are healthy and do not attract hoards of insects does not mean that insectivorous wild creatures like birds wil suffer. The hoards of red-winged blackbirds that descend on corn infested with com earworm larvae not only further damage the corn, but would live more hhealthfully in the cattail marshes of their habitat, free from crops contaminated by insecticides. ‘One half of the population of North American wood war- bers has disappeared over the last twenty years. This is prob- ably due, in par, to insecticides sold freely by the U.S. agri cultural chemical industry to the Central and South American countries to which North American warblers migrate, With few government controls in certain southern regions insecti- cides are spread by the tons. There are now more pounds of pesticides per acre utilized worldwide chan when Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring, that epic treatise on the subject. Insecticides and weed killers are the modem curse of envi- ronmental health. We never did need them. The simple fact is that they both destroy viable oil. healthy sol ecology through healthy agriculeure means a healthy world population rein- forced by that most democratic foundation — the family farm.

Whenever there's sufficient beat, pressure, and rater to melt great mases of rocks, they may be expected to intrude the sediments above ther. Quite frequently this hot material reaches the surface with spe results az expanding steam produces violent vokanic eruptions, Dance ofthe Continents ‘Fobn W. Harrington Science believes that agriculture began thousands of years before Christ somewhere in the Middle Bast. This may well be true of man’ part in agriculture, but God's part began when he created the voleano, I well remember the newspaper accounts of the eruption ‘of Mount St. Helens in Washington. Its a twin cone to beau- tiful Mount Hood in Oregon. Earthquakes beyan on March 20, 1980, but the real boom did not occur until May 18. David Johnston, the volcano expert with the U.S. Geological Survey, radioed his headquarters a short message: “Vancouver! ‘Vancouver! ‘This isi.” The voleano lover Harry Truman, a ‘mountain man of the region, refused to take warning ani ished in an old mine tunnel. David Johnston also perished. Voleaoes U1 Mount St. Helens erupted with a force calculat- cd to equal fifteen hundred Hiroshima-size atomic bombs. Over one and a half cubie miles of rock were blown across the Washington countryside, lowering the peak of Mount St. Helens from a height of 9,677 feet to a height of 8,377 feet — 1,300 feet ofthe cone disappeared! The blast was heard 200 miles away, and voleanic ash was blown downwind in a broad belt that spanned an area from Mississippi in the South to Canada in the North. My own experiences with volcanoes involve three climbs of Mt. Fuji and many days in Pompeié dreaming about what it rust have been like to survive such an explosion. Pliny the Elder, another voleanie observer, died in that eruption. In Japan, my sister Ann and I came elose to perishing in the eruption of Mount Asama near Karuizawa in the Japanese Alps. That mountain, so we were told on the day of our pro- jected climb, last erupted 500 years ago and was highly unlike- ly to erupton the day of our planned climb. Iedid! Fortunately, Thad been called back to Tokyo just prior to the eruption “That mountain spewed a column of ash thousands of feet high across the Japanese Alps. The explosion was heard over a hun~ dred miles away. My sister was leftalive to have three beautiful daughters and I to write a book on paramagnetism. ‘That was in 1947, a time when [little understood that voleanoes are not disasters but blessings in disguise. No volcanoes, no agricul- ture — for voleanie ash and rock are the guts of good soil What I best remember in the newspaper reports of Mount St. Helens was the great concern about the loss of crop land and forests buried in ash, and the fact the pigs and snakes seemed to know it was about to occur. To this day no one has decoded the earthquake/voleano mechanism of pig and snake prophecy, but in this book we can learn at least one of the ‘great benefits of voleanic explosions and about the magie ash that it puts down across the countryside. 12 Paramagnetion [A fow years after the eruption of Mount St. Helens, arti- cles began to appear, most written in adjectives of great sue- prise, detailing how fast the forests were returning, the plants popping up, the streams revitalized and even nearby farmers Aelighted with their erop output. Apparently modera man and agribusiness had forgotten that good soil comes from volcanic rock and not the chemical industry. Mount St. Helens demon- strated that God knows what He is doing and corporate ‘America only believes it does. It is not that I believe corporate agriculture is evil, only misguided. Perhaps they can learn from God's voleanoes. E.A. Vincent, in the marvelous Fores of Nature, makes only one statement that I can take exception to, Its inthe frst sentence of his masterful dissertation on voleanoes. He states: “Since in close quarters a volcanic eruption is an impressive energetic phenomenon, but being narrowly localized in space and time, itis rather superficial on the scale of the whole earth.” He farther elucidates: “As my professor of geology ‘once remarked to the lass of first-year students of which I was a member, “Would you conclude from the presence of a boil ‘on the back of your neck that your whole body was filled with pus?” In these quotes we can see the rather peculiar reasoning of a specialist. No medieal person that I know believes that a boil explodes and spreads a fine dusty mist of matter, good or bad, across the entire body — yet this is precisely what a vol- canic explosion of the “boil” on the earth's surface does. It does indeed affect thousands upon thousands of miles of the carth’s surface. The volcano is a powerful exploding, soil-dis. persing “boil.” In the next paragraph Dr. Vincent redeems himself as he states in no uncertain terms: “Man has always feared volcanic ‘manifestations as forces beyond his control, bringing death and destruction. But he has also gradually learned that they Volarnoes 13 may bring some compensating benefits: rich volcanic soils; deposits of minerals and ores; and more recently, potential sources of unstable heat and energy. ‘The very existence of volcanoes, as of the earthquakes almost invariably associated with them, indicates thatthe planet Farth is nota static body but dynamic organism in a constant state of change and evolu- tion.” Note that he places the words “rich voleanie sol” first, ceven before the first love of industry — deposits of minerals and ores! ‘The physics of voleano formation is easly summarized. Specifically, a volcano is a surface phenomenon that follows large earthquakes triggered by a subsurface movement of what geologists call tectonic plates. The earth is made up of a num- ber of such huge plate-like platforms floating on a sea of vis- cous, lowing, iron-rich, glassy rock called magma. The more brittle erust rock on top moves about separating, colliding and triggering powerful interactions that, over cons of time, effect the physical makeup of the earth's surface. These moving con- tinental plates are the mountain and ocean builders of time Voleanic cones usually arise and form in chains where the denser subsurface mantle rock is carried by a portion of the molten magma. Theorists believe that the thermal energy required for convective movement within the mantle, and the melting ofthe viseous material, is caused by the disintegration of small amounts of the radioactive clements of uranium, tho- sium and potassium contained within the earth surfaces. In other words, complex and terrifying energies of molten rock generate steam that expands, and under tremendous pressure, bursts through the surface crust, forming volcanic cones and spewing out, so to speak, our most fertile soils. Few realize that ifthe theorists are correct, our earth is one huge soil-forming, atomic-steam powerplant. In that case, a voleano is, in reality, the steam explosion of an atomic ener- ‘gy system. The silicate formed by the partial atomic-steam 14 Paramagnetion explosion and thrown off by active voleanoes, is cooled in the atmosphere to form a rock called basalt, A moving plate curves down beneath a crust plate where friction, added to the atom- ic pump, feeds the melt. This energy cracks the earth under pressure and carries the liquid basalt rock upward where dust and rock forms the cone and the folds around the cone. OF course, this is a simplified description of the whole process that is complex beyond all imagination. It has, how- ever, been researched by numerous geologists over the years since the German meteorologist, Alfred Wegener, in a book titled The Origins of Continents and Oceans, caine up with what is now known as the tectonic theory of land formation. He was, of course, ridiculed in his own day. Volamoes 15 Chapter 2 FROM ROCK TO SOIL German seni, Bsald Wollny (1888) bas been called the “pincer of sil and water conservation research” Baver 1938).

Meyer “There is nothing new about the original work of an inno- vative and non-reductionist scientist being overlooked, wheth- er German, English, American, Hebrew, or Arab. Infact, most innovative Arab researchers of past centuries have not only been overlooked but completely discarded by the West. ‘The only thing the Crusaders ever accomplished, other than killing alot of innocent people, was to bring Arab science From Rock 0 Soil 17 to the West. In the 12th century, the crusader Frederick Il invented bied banding in order to investigate bird migration. He was also the fist to use nicotine sulphate to kill bird lice con the wings of his hunting falcons. I have never seen eredit given to him for either of these modern scientific endeavors. “The Arab people understood bied migration and poisons of al sorts long before western Europeans ever thought about such fields of study. Frederick II leamed much from his contacts with Middle Eastern Arabs. He went east to fight, and after discovering that killing in the name of God is a dastardly occu- pation, he remained to study. He became a good friend of the sultan he was supposed to kill — sometimes things do turn out right in life. The white lowing robes and grey beards of Arab and Hebrew philosophers from Jerusalem, Baghdad and Syria ‘were a common sight at Frederick’ court at Apulia in south- ern lel Frederick’ favorite caste is stil in existence. The Castle del Monte sits on the lat, desert-like plane of Tavoliere in the region of Apulia not far from the town of Foggia. The flat, rock covered, dark earth region of desolation stretches away in all directions from his hilltop castle. Modern man is prone to ‘wonder why Frederick favored such a non-agricultural region. Iis green only during a very short winter rainy season, He favored it because it was a huge open region for hunting his falcons. He was, however, quite as interested in agriculture as in falconry. His love of farming is attested to by the fact that he kept vast herds of sheep, cows, goats, and pigs, as well as bees and pigeons. On his more soilrich estate, he grew oats, mille, hhemp, cotton, corn, wheat, grapes and olives. Hlis advisors were the Cistercian monks who were also the scientific farm- crs of those days. These monks developed new breeds of ani- mals and plants using crossing methods later perfected by the monk Mendel and now called the science of genetics. The 18 Paramagnetion Gistercians experimented with soil types as did the father of the study of soil erosion, Ewald Woliny. Leaving those ancient times, when the monks worked with nature instead of against it, and leaving as well, the cle gant work of Wollny between 187 and 1895, most of the Signifieant work on erosion has been accomplished in the United States by the U.S, Department of Agriculture (USDA). Tewas not until 1907 that the USDA declared an official pol cy covering land protection. ‘This is an important date in the evolution of science. Soil is ecology! Erosion carries soil away from its original location. As we have seen, erosion begins with voleanoes. This may lead one 10 ask, if erosion isso bad, and voleanoes are erosion produc- crs, why praise volcanoes? Is erosion good or is erosion bad? ‘That is like asking, are weeds good or are weeds bad? It depends on where the erosion ends up and where the weeds are located. This may be true in the short-term, but in the framework of centuries, weeds and erosion are most certainly ‘good, for without them we could not have life on earth as we know it today. ‘Most Chinese soil came from the dey hills of inner Chins blown eastward over millions of years. Such windblown dirt is called loess soil. China soil was also badly eroded down the ‘mountain slopes to rivers where it was swept along to build banks or fill the huge fertile estuaries ofthe far off rivers. The soil that was lai down across the flat land of China hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of years ago has, for 4,000 or ‘more years, fed a population that has risen from 400 million after World War II to more than one billion today — China has a big problem! In America today, soil laid down from Rocky Mountain voleanic action and deposited many, many feet thick, is some times blown away by wind erosion, as it was in the Dust Bowl regions during the 1930s. Americans also have a big problem. From Rock 1 Soil 19 It is not based on excessive human population, but rather on present-day wind erosion Soil erosion by wind occurs in areas where yearly rainfall is minimum. The great, dry central American prairie measures about twelve inches of rain per year. Wind erosion is an ongo- ing problem where green top cover is disturbed by agricul- tural processes, Large movements of soil occur not only where rainfall is scarce, but also where there are strong prevailing winds at all levels from high altitudes down to ground level. “These regions are associated with massive flatland areas. ‘Water erosion is most often associated with high rainfall, and hilly or mountainous regions drained by creeks and rivers. In the United States, soil scientists have plotted a map called the rainfall erosion index for erosivity. They use it to predict erosion on a yearly basis over the country. Itis easily ‘observable that the index decreases from a high value of 450 to $50 along the Gulf Coast, where there isa high average rainfall, to alow of 20 in the high, dry plateau of Nevada and : Vs RI = 2 porter pie wind esi ‘The fltonds feiss are compa inky of fine i fm olimertary ck hats uy Mon by preaiing sin Lark fbr or taal ar igh nd > 20 Paramagnetion FF Utah, From such maps erosivity—and thus loss of soil by rain —can be determined from any location in the United States. In the eastern United States, we observe that most ero- sion is caused by rainfall and not wind. Erosion is a continuing process. It begins with sol laid down by volcanic action and continues by a process called weathering. As important as weathering isto soil formation and dispersion, or erosion, I could not find the word in either the index of Sail, the 1957 Yearbook of Agriculture, or in any of the dozen books I have on soil, rocks and minerals. Weathering is the method by which solid rocks are tured into the smaller particles that make up our soil. Classifications of soil particle shape and size are complex but have been well studied. Formation of soil begins with two different types of weather- ing: physical and chemical. Rocks are divided into three different types according to their geological origin. Igneous rock is formed by the cooling 2g of ea eral vas of rfl ein in, Wicd Smit Fromm Rosk a Soi! 21 ‘and hardening of the viscous magma, Its classified according to its decreasing silica content, and acid to basic. Rocks formed under conditions of temperature, pressure and chemical reaction that do not involve melting, as in the case of magma, are called metamorphic rock. Granite may be igneous or metamorphic. In general, metamorphic rock is formed deep within the earth’ crust. It is associated with the ‘great pressures and temperatures involved in mountain build- ing, Metamorphic means a change in form. Reerystallization is the term fora changed particle size and structure during the process of metamorphism. Gneiss, schist and slate are exam- ples of metamorphic rock “The third major classification of rock is known as sedimen- tury rock, All rock disintegrates over the cons as a result of mechanical forces (water, ice, wind and friction) and chemical ‘weathering. ‘These rock particles, in the form of ela, silt, sand, ‘gravel, and their dissolved minerals, are transported by ero- sion, by wind and water, to a new location where they are deposited in layers. The particles may eventually be cemented together forming what is called clastic sedimentary rocks. The manner in which chemical sedimentary rock is formed and deposited allows geologists to reconstruct the earth’s geologi- cal events Igneous minerals, like those found in granite, are com- monly attacked by water that is acid or alkaline in pH. All rmineral-formed rocks, except the highly resistant quartz, are broken down and changed in this chemical manner to clay, colloid, silica, granite, and numerous minerals in solution. ‘The common chemical products of weathered rock become the building materials for the sedimentary particles upon which our sol is built. Besides such chemical weathering of igneous and meta- morphic rock, there is mechanical weathering, which is the breakdown of rock into particles without causing change to 22 Paramagnetion the minerals in the rock.

Evening primrose plants are of American origin but were introduced into Europe as one of the European favored wild edibles. Iv is actually cultivated there for its tasty mut-like fa- vor. Primrose grows all over North America, from Canada south to Florida, and isa favorite of mine asa flower attractive Weeds 25 to the beautiful white-lined sphinx moth. The fireweed is the first cousin to the yellow evening primrose, and in my opinion far more beautiful. Its pink to bright red blossoms cap a bushy clump of lance-head shaped leaves. Framed against a back- ground of grey ash or blackburn, itis a sight fie for people who believe in angels. T have never observed fireweed in the eastern United States, however it does occur commonly al over the forested regions of the West from Alaska to Mexico. Ivis also scattered throughout Europe and Asia where land has been disturbed. It is a bright red international signal that man or nature has eliminated the green cover of the land, Ie s a true forest fire/ vvoleano lover. Strangely enough, although I never see it in survival books, itis one of the most edible plants. Other names for it are deer born, named for the spike-like prods that stick up beneath the beautiful red, four-petaled flowers, and wild aspar- ‘agus for its tasty, asparagus-like young stems. The tender leaves can also be steamed or boiled as greens. Beckeepers in ‘western states often move their hives close to logged or burned areas where their bees have close access to its sweet honey providing flowers. Why it is called a weed is beyond my com- prehension. Itshould be cultivated asa food plant. ‘When my daughter, ewo grandchildren and I took a mule called Blackjack across the Fligh Sierras, Blackjack would stop to browse on a sow thistle or fireweed. They were his two favorite foods and he would pull us off the tail to reach either of them. Mules seem to know more about the beneficial vita- ‘mins and trace elements in so-called weeds than modern man — maybe they are smarter in a natural sort of way! Like Blackjack, the Paiute Indians of California knew all about fireweed and used it also as an anti-diarrhetic and hemo- static herb. I would rename this lower freood 26° Paramagnetion a “The real problem is thatthe term zveed has come to mean nuisance plant when, in fact, weeds are without a doubt our ‘most beneficial earthly helpers. The word weed should be drummed out of the English language, and weed killers ban~ ished from society like all murderers. Nelson Coon, in his classic book on the use of wild plants, calls weeds wayside plants. That is indeed a good term for weeds because road- ‘ways and trails are disturbed areas and thus ideal spots for the natural cropping of all varieties of weeds. There is nota trail or roadway across the United States that a knowledgeable survival expert could not, as Blackjack did, eat his way along, for even cure a few disorders if so inclined. Other than as a source of food and herbs, the real value of weeds has to do with their soil restorative powers which are awesome. Why is this so? ‘The short simplified answer is that in depleted soil, weeds send their roots deep down into the more mineral-ich sub- soil. In doing so, they pull up into their stems and leaves the very minerals that Julius Hensel speaks about — potassa, sodia, ime, magnesia, manganese, iron, silica, alumina, phos- phorie acid, sulphur and fluorine. Weeds are boxed and pack- aged storehouses of almost every important mineral needed for healthy plane growth, Just as importantly, weeds are natu- ral mixers of such minerals. Since itis done by nature and not DuPont, the magic force called paramagnetiom is attained in the mixture. It is quite usual in the laboratory to mix such minerals together and attain ltele or nothing of this paramag- netic force, so why not let the weeds do it correctly? ‘There are two excellent books on weeds. One is Charles Walters’ superb book, Weeds: Control Without Poisons, where we find another basis for the book you are reading now. He states: “Plants — weeds as well as crops — actually get about 80% of their nutrition from the air. Most ofthis mutrtion is taken from carbon dioxide and water, but i also includes cos- Weeds 27 ‘mic and solar energy and airborne nutrients, ‘The effective- ness of this direction of nutrient flow is totally dependent ‘upon two conditions: the inherent integrity of the plant and/ ‘or seed and the health of the soi.” ‘The health of the soil depends not only on soil nutrients and air nutrients but upon ‘oxygen, as does human life. The atmosphere is composed of only 0.03% carbon dioxide (CO,) but 20.95% oxygen (O,). Oxygen is as necessary to root growth deep in the soil as itis to the portion of the plant above the ground which is sub- ‘merged in the atmosphere. Oxygen, like voleanic rock and dirt, is highly paramagnetic. In fact it is the most paramag- netic ofall gasses. If the magnetic force we call paramagnet- ism is important to the plant above ground, then it must be doubly so in the soi. “The old 1950 classic, Weeds, Guardians of the Soil, by Joseph Cocannouer isa small book that sums up all that weeds ‘accomplish for depleted soil. Mr. Cocannouer lists the four valusble contributions of weeds to the soil. They are: (1) These rots are persitent explorers in a rick ‘world (cubsil) which is to a large degree unknown te ‘domestic rps —unail he eed rots build highways lead ing int it. Thereafter the eryp are proved with a more extensive feding zone, (2) The weed roots pump those “tnt” fad materials back into the surface il; (3) the weed roots fberise the subsoils and (2) belp to build w storage reserovir down therefor water, water mover up along the tutideof the weed roots which fod in the surface layer ‘That is why a crop on antl” ‘weedy land cam go through a drought beter than a clean crop om similar lana 28 Paramagnetion 1 like the term fiberize the sul. By fberize he means the weeds ability to eat their way through compacted sols. Pla such as weeds, exude from their roots special dissolving sub- stances that soften hard obstructions thus stimulating deep root growth in overly compacted soil. Weeds tend to feed in the lower subsoil zone and will promote an upward movement of capillary water along the outer edge of the root. ‘They are not water robbers as is commonly believed, except in cases ‘where they are too dense in a field. In short, there is an opti- ‘mal population of weeds among food crops that will enhance the crop growth, ‘The fiberization of soil by weeds not only allows for water to be pumped upwards, but oxygen to flow in the soil contributing its powerful paramagnetic force to the root growth. Weeds, by aerating the soil, contribute the spongy characteristic that signals fertile sol. Fiberization and aerat- ing of compacted soil allows the roots of the crops in the "upper top soil to follow the pathway of the weeds to a better life below. The roots of weeds are tunnelers for the roots of the surface feeding food crops. Mr. Cocannouer makes the point that iFone wishes to reclaim eroded and compacted soil, tne should even go to the extreme of sowing weed seeds. Heresy! Before World War Il, in Europe and especially in Irland, tone field was allowed to lay fallow for two years before rotat- ing a new crop into it. Weeds were eventually cut and stacked in layers between layers of manure, In the spring the green ‘manure was spread on the row crops. In this way not only were the weeds fiberizing the fallow field, but the nutrients stored in the green weed manure were put back into crop soil, ‘We may understand then that there are three ways to gen- erate this valuable magnetic force called paramagnetism into the soil: 1. By adding voleanic rock into the soil, Weeds 29 2. By fiberization so that paramagnetic orygen reaches the roots in soggy sol 3. By using weeds, which are green containers of para- magnetic minerals, in our compost or manure. In a future chapter we will cover, in layman's terms, the physics ofthis mysterious force, how to measure it in your sol, and how to reestablish it on land that is badly eroded and thos depleted of this most necessary antenna for magnetic forces. 30 Paramagnetion 3 32.

Outside the darkening and misty raining sky was background to two large, grey col- ‘red rocks. One was flat and turtle-shell shaped, the other ‘upright, the “crane and the turtle,” I thought to myself. Norio, ‘my Japanese host and good friend, arose to slide open the paper paneled door to the outer enclosed rock garden behind the restaurant. ‘Norio Inaba invited me to Japan as the main speaker ata four-day symposium in honor of the sacred groves of Ise Shinto Shrine, He was treating me to a traditional Japanese dinner. It was my lastnight in Ise before leaving for Tokyo. Donald Nordeng, an American friend who spoke Japanese, and Norio were my guides to the countryside and temples of Ise Peninsula ‘The Never Aging Rock 33 i it ‘The Ise Shrine is dedicated to the Sun Goddess and is the Emperors Shrine — the first and most important shrine in all of Japan, Every twenty years all ofthe shrines of the complex are torn down and exactly rebuilt in an open space beside each structure. This twenty-year ceremony has been continued since the reign of Emperor ‘Temmu in the seventh century. ‘The Ise Shrine is actually a complex of two main shrines and many auxiliary shrines. The inner shrine is deep in a sacred forest and the outer shrine closer to the nearby town, Since all of the auxiliary temples are replaced every twenty years it requires at least 80,000 huge logs to rebuild the struc- tures. The logs come from sacred forests deep within the cen- tral mountains of Japan. Fighty-thousand logs for temple replacement requires steady growing and healthy trees from healthy soil. ‘The shrines are beautifully simple wooden structures with elegant thatched roofs. The skill in shaping and refitcing these allwooden, and nailless, structures every twenty yearsis almost unimaginable. It isa tlling story ofthe great love the Japanese people and Shinto priests have for this most beautiful ofall the world’ nature oriented religions. The history of Japan has been the history of people who have mirrored the beauty and the forces of nature. Their artisan artof suggestion and not an art of reality. The simple forest temples of Ise suggest the nature gods of forest, rock and sea Being the main speaker at a symposium honoring the recently rebuilt Shinto Temples was an honor for a Westerner beyond my wildest expectations. It was as ifthe nature gods, the Kami, or spirits of tre, rock, and sol, had known that 48 years earlier I had journeyed to Ise to visit them, during the ‘ecupation of Japan, and they approved of my return. As one Japanese friend said, I was a Catholie/Shinto. But being the main speaker atthe symposium was not the only reason I was in Japan. The other reasons were trees, rocks and soil. I was to 34 Paramagnetion measure the growing force called paramagnetism in the forest soil. I was also going to study the extremely low frequency (ELE) radio waves, amplified by that sol free, in the atmo- sphere of the forest. Paradoxically my earliest indications that rock had a vital- ity a living force, came t0 me climbing clfs to photograph and obtain faleons and eagles to train. T always had the feeling that falcon eyries were located on very special rocky ledges. T never grew tired while climbing to the rock homes of these magnificent birds of prey. Climbing among the red rocks of Colorado and the granite clifS of Vermont and New Hampshire, I was inrigued by the fet that the most beautiful and greenest of mountain plants always seemed to grow straight from small cracks in those rocky surfaces. Tt was a5 if the rock had a vitality ofits own. This is what the Shinto reli- gion teaches, that like plants and animals, rocks are living creatures with a living spirit that the Japanese call Kami Te ring fo ky fe. ‘The Never Aging Rock 35 Ik was during my war years in Ireland and occupation years in Japan thae my belief in the magic vitality, the Kami spirit of rocks, solidified. [can construct in my mind a time sequence of the evolution of my rescarch on this vital force in rock and soil. Most of my year-to-year notes on rock energy were, until about twenty years ago, observational data. In Ireland i was the fact that there was one mountain, Breezy Hill, where I simply felt beter whenever I spent a quiet day on its rocky summit With the round towers of Ireland, especially the Devinish Tower, itwas a fact thatthe grass was far greener and healthi- cer around the tower than the mainland grass. The Irish them- selves attested to this fact, for in those early days they ferried their cattle to the island for grazing —‘Aw sure it isthe best grass!” Another Irish certitude is that cattle and sheep always gather around ancient stone structures, inside stone rings, and close to megalithic tombs. Tn Japan one gets a feeling of resfulness in the wooden and thatch-roofed Shinto shrine of the sacred groves. I began to feel that if the vital force of rocky places made one feel energetic and the wooden shrines and trees of sacred groves made one feel relaxed, that there seemed to be two forces at work. One force was calming and restful, the other energizing and fatigue defeating. Perhaps in Eastern terms, the yin of the female and the yang of the male? Te was through reading the brilliant writings of the Irish scientific genius John ‘Tyndall that I finally realized that these vital forces were not magnetic— that is, the plus (+) and minus (-) or North and South poles of a magnetic field — but the paramagnetic and diamagnetic properties of rocks and plants. I credit Tyndall because iti important that in describ- ing any new phenomenon, we also make elear where the con~ cept first originated. Tt is an unfortunate fact of modern of science that there is litle credit given for the brilliant, yet 36. Paramagnetom simple, early work of such people as John ‘Tyndall. Significant scientific discoveries are usually based on simple experimenta- tion and not million dollar grants. Cancer will be defeated the same way eventually, Tyndall had been arguing with Faraday about the theory of diamagnetic substances. A diamagnetic substance, especially ‘wood, if placed near a strong magnet by hanging the wood on 4 string, wll be weakly repelled by the magnet, Diamagnetism is negative movement, or movement away from a magnetic field. Paramagnetism is a strong positive attraction to a may net. Most organic molecules are diamagnetic and most volca~ nic rock and ash are paramagnetic. “Tyndall had thoroughly cleaned 30 to 40 species of oak ‘wood from all over the world and was measuring the distance the wood sliver was repelled from the magnet. ‘To his surprise, cone wooden splinter was attracted to the magnet indicating that it was paramagnetic. Under the microscope he observed that burned in the wood was part of a company brand indicat- ing the seller of the wood. There appeared to be a very few particles of iron oxide imbedded in the wood. Iron oxide is paramagnetic. The wood was pulled to the magnet even though it was tested at the opposite end from the iron oxide brand. When ‘Tyndall sanded the brand away, the sliver was repelled by the magnet. The few grains of iron oxide had turned the wood from a diamagnetic substance to a paramag- netic substance. Today we would call such # phenomenon, ‘where a small bit makes a big change, solid-state doping of the substance. We may understand then that John Tyndall was the ‘world’ first solid-state physicist! Tt became apparent to me while observing the rock gar- dens of Japan, especially those in Kyoto, that the placement of rocks in relationship to the sun, as well as the shape of the rocks, were of primary importance. ‘The design principles and secret teachings upon which the gardens of Kyoto rested were ‘The Never Aging Rock 37 apparent in the placement and varying shapes of the boulders scattered about the gardens and parks of Kyoto and the other shrines of Japan. Interestingly enough, the spacing, and the horizontal and vertical proportions between the principle and subordinate rocks, are often expressed according to the Golden Mean of the ancient Greeks. This tells us in no uncertain terms that antenna design, which is the shape and placement of the rocks ‘operating as antennae in relationship to the sun, is of utmost importance. The Golden Mean is represented by the Fibonacci series (1, 2, 3, 5,8), where 1+ 2=3,2+3=5,3+5=8,and It is well known that the science of magnetic dowsing, called geomaney, began in China sometime during China’ distant beginnings. Geomancy was the sacred science of place- ‘ment surveyance. The Chinese utilized a system of divination which is very dificult to understand, ‘That is why it was, and stil is, called Feng Shui which means wind and water. "The ‘method is as fleeting as the wind and as difficult to grasp as the water. “The Seeret Book of Gardening, published during the “Tokugawa period in Japan, contained details of the art of geo- ‘mancy. According to that tradition, there are male and female stones. The male stone is exposed to the sun and the female stone always lies in a more secluded shaded area. This tells us that geomaney has little to do with north and south pole mag- netism, but in actuality, isa paramagnetic/diamagnetic, or sun/ shade, phenomenon, Sometime during the decline of the great Tang dynasty (894 AD) the gates to China were closed by Japan and garden ‘geomancy became garden art, an aesthetic undertaking. It had Tost its connection to the sun, Placement and shapes were no longer antenna design, but were more in line with the visions of artists who had litle knowledge of low-energy force fields. 38 Paramagnetion ‘There it stagnates today, endlessly fostered by Eastern and ‘Western practitioners who have not the slightest knowledge of the physics of nature’ low-energy forces. If one thing should bee learned from this book, it is that not only do the laws of physics connect chemistry to biology, but they also connect ‘mankind to the sun! ‘The Japanese name their rocks. My favorite is the two rock placement called the “turtle and crane.” ‘These two rocks represent the mythical Isle of the Immortal, similar to the ‘Western concept of heaven. The taller rock, or crane, is also called the ‘never aging rock.” It symbolizes @ young granite- peaked mountain, Below it isthe turtle, the “rock of the ten thousand cons,” or the ancient turtle of “Hora” These two rocks imply immortality and were the two that I viewed out- side the restaurant where Norio and I enjoyed a delicious Japanese dinner. ‘As I sat eross-legged, trying to manipulate my chopsticks with slightly more grace than my ability apparently allowed, I ‘was struck with the simplicity of the Japanese eating tools. Both are indicative of the facr that, designed by men for life’ journey, they do not need to be complex, or even the finished products of energy gobbling machines. They can be as simple as connecting to our environment with wood and stone — a ‘thought to enhance digestion — and also one’s vitality The Never Aging Rock 39 PART II ‘THE FORCE 40 | a Chapter § PARAMAGNETISM & DIAMAGNETISM In paramagnetiom the arms or molecules of the substance daave net orbital or spin magnetic moments that are copable of Deng aligned inthe direction ofthe applied il Dictionary of Chemistry ‘The above is the technical definition of paramagnetism taken from the Dictionary af Chemistry. The Dictionary of Pees states the exact same thing in the exact same words! In short, pparamagnetism is a physical parameter of all material at the ‘elementary level of atoms and molecules. As the rather trite saying goes, “it shouldn't take a rocket scientist” to figure out that the force is probably just as important to biology as itis to physics and chemistry. Afterall, physics is what connects ‘chemistry to biology. Despite thi irrefutable fact, the word is not found in any of dozens of soil books Ihave read or even in the Dictionary of Pbysical Geography. Its almost as if God ere~ ated the paramagnetism force for the benefit of physicists alone so that they could use it to theorize about the makeup of atoms and molecules. I doubt that God so favors physicist, although a goodly number seem to believe it Exactly what, in plain language, does this definition of paramagnetism mean? First, we must define the term mag- netic moment. Ifyou spina fixed magnet in the center of a loop 42 Paramagnetion Paramagnetion & Diamagnetiom 43 ‘of wire, you generate electricity in the wie, creating an clec- tric generator (see Exploring the Spectrum by the author). ‘Magnetic moment is the ratio between the maximum torque ‘exerted on a magnet or current-carrying coil, or the charge in ‘a magnetic field, and the strength of the ficld itself. Since atoms and molecules spin, rotate, and vibrate in all kinds of predictable directions depending on their makeup, they are in effec, little dynamic generators displaying both Field strength and torque (torque = rotating power in a mechanism). In sum- ‘mary, magnetic moment is the ratio of the strength of the ‘magnetic field to rotating power. Te is obvious that the earth and cosmos itself has a mag netic moment since itis has a low-energy magnetic field of about 44 gauss. Gaur is the CGS unit of magnetic fax. CGS ‘means Centimeter, Grams, Seconds. Put quite simply, if you hhave one gram ofa substance, one centimeter from a magnet, in what part of one second will t move to the magnet? Put another way, what weight of a paramagnetic material will ‘move one centimeter to a magnet in one second? The Appendix provides tables that list the paramagnetic or diamag- netic properties of some common atoms or molecules. ‘Any substance, including soil or rock, that will move toward a magnet is paramagnetic. If you can measure the CGS (fa substance then you will know the measure of is attractance force to a magnet. CGS is known as suxepiility because it is ‘obvious that if a substance moves to a magnet, then itis suscep- tible to.a magnet field. Other ways wo say i are that the sub- stance is attracted to a magnet field, or resonating to the field Or grabbed hold of by the field, or even loves the field! Ifa paramagnetic substance i placed in a strong magnetic field, all of the field lines will eventually line up, a5 illustrat- ed: 44 Paramagnetion ey => Tt i eee appa eed Paramaguetic ses ide ide mags il In nature, all substances are in a weak cosmic magnetic field, which is the earth’ ever-present 4 gauss, therefore they are aligned thus: See Pavesi nba veak magic fel, art field ‘They are then not completely random, or, as mathemati cians might say, in a complete chaotic arrangement. That is why chaotic mathemati is so important to a study of para~ magnetism. Take heed chaotic mathematicians. Once placed in a strong magnetic field like the electromagnetic coil of a (CGS meter, they become more aligned. “The measure of the more aligned is the measure of the paramagnetic force, or the CGS measure. Parenti aan: bene en mire aligned in he magnet field of « CCS Paramagnetion & Dizmagnetion 45 ‘Now that we know that paramagnetism is the alignment ‘fa force field in one direction by a substance in a magnetic field, then we must ask, what is diamagnetiom? ‘The Dictionary af Chemistry defines diamagnetism as follows: “Diamagnetism is the magnetization in the opposite direction to that of the applied magnetic field, eg, the susceptibility is negative away from the magnetic field.” Actually all substances are diamag- netic, but itis a weak form of magnetism and may be masked by other, stronger forces, for instance a magnetic field. Diamagnetism results from changes induced in the torque by bits of electrons that oppose the applied magnetic flux. ‘There is thus a weak negative susceptibility to the magnet. ‘Most organic compounds, including all plants, are diamag- netic. If plants are diamagnetic and good growing soil para- magnetic, then we must be dealing with the yin and yang of Chinese and Japanese geomancy, or the energy put forth by the crane and turtle rock formation. Why are the crane and turtle rock important? Simply because most of the ancient Zen gardens that I have observed cover the years appeared to be both paramagnetic/erane and ddiamagnetic/turti! This was observed and documented in the Seeret Book of Gardening. The diamagnetic properties of the flattened turtle rock are visually obvious by the amount of ‘white quartz in it. One does not chip pieces of beautiful Zen garden rock to study its CGS properties, but most quartz is not only recognizable by sight, it is also either neutral or weakly diamagnetic ‘The Nanzen-en stroll garden of the Kamakura period has several high granite and low quartz boulder arrangements as does the Ryogen-in garden designed by Soami. ‘The diamag- netic/paramagnetic, or yin/yang arrangement is most often seen in the double erane and turtle configurations. There is also a triple configuration that has a central granite standing rock and two smaller granite paramagnetic lower rocks 46 Parumagnetion “Tentokucen, the landscape garden of the Momoyama period, has a high crane basalt rock and low turtle limestone rock, Around these rocks an arrangement of Chinese belflowers {grows in profusion. Interestingly enough, they grow to the left (of the tall basalt crane rock and on the right side of the flatter turtle rock By positioning such rocks in relationship to the sun and to cach other, one can control plant growth. Apparently the ancients knew about this yin and yang, diamagnetic/paramag- netic phenomenon and utilized it in their Zen gardens. That such knowledge is now lost is demonstrated by the fact that the crane/turtle arrangement found at the elegant restaurant ‘where my friend and Ihad dinner was composed of stones that ‘were both paramagnetic and not paramagnetic/diamagnetic. Before we move on to a discussion of atmospheric ELF radio waves, it is important that we also define magnetism (feeromagnetism). Ferro means iron. Magnetism oceurs in fr romagnetie substances because itis a characteristic of certain ‘metals, particulary iron, at certain temperatures, Below a cer- ‘ain temperature, called the Curie point, an increasing mag- netic field applied to iron, or any ferromagnetic substance, will cause increasing magnetization to a value so high that it ‘becomes saturated and remains permanent. In short, a magnet is a metal that has a permanently stored, aligned magnetic ‘moment. [tis analogous to a stored DC battery. “Magnetic substances are extremely rare in nature, the best ‘known being the mineral magnetite. Because of the rarity of ‘magnetite its not apt to be the growing force of nature. That ‘does not mean that magnetism is unimportant in the scheme of life, In this regard, there is one last point that should be made. Even though magnetism isa fixed force, it does vary slightly. ‘There is no such thing as flat line DC — everything in nature alternates, at least slightly. The simple fact is that the mag Paramagnetion & Diamagnetisn 47 i in netic field of the cosmos and the earth alternates far more than the field of a fixed DC magnet. It is this alternating earth/ cosmic field to which voleanie soil and voleanic rock resonate, ‘or to which both are susceptible. ‘As in the case of plants, water is diamagnetic. The atmo- sphere, because of the oxygen, is paramagnetic. Some of my preliminary experiments at night, during the full moon, indi cate a paramagnetie/diamagnetic, plant, moon, water and soil relationship in nature. We know that the moon, which is highly paramagnetic, has a very strong effect on tides, which are of diamagnetic water. The many voleanic and/or meteorite ‘cones indicate a paramagnetic moon body even though I could find no data on this subject from moon rock measurements. Ithas long been known that certain Indian tribes planted by the full moon. There is little doubt in my mind that the American Indian knew more about good agriculture tech- niques than modern agriculturists! As the Sioux brave remarked while watching a farmer corning under virgin prairie grass, “wrong side up!” (in Altars of Unknown Stone, by Wes Jackson). 48 Paramagnetion 0 50 Paramagneton Chapter 6 ELF ATMOSPHERIC RADIO My dear sm ‘Yu are intrested in radio-tclepbony and want me 10 explain itt yon, DIL dos jn the shortest and easiest may zich ean deve.

It was very useful for pulling teeth, but later the AMA stopped research on electrical anesthesia for one simple reason: drugs, though unsafe, make more money. That region of the lectro- ‘magnetic photon spectrum is still found on early spectral charts — it has been eliminated from later charts. Out of ‘mind, out of use! De: Loomis was born July 21, 1826 in Oppenheim, New York. He studied dentistry and taught school in Cleveland, Ohio. He received a first patent for Koolin artificial teeth. He married Achsah Ashley of West Springficld, Massachusetts in 1856, After five or six years of experimenting with his static spark machine, he built @ unique radio aerial transmitter. In 1866 he gave the first public demonstration of his system. His, notebook description of his wireless is dated February 20, 1864. It reads: Tio kites were let up — one from each summit — eighteen ar tvemty miles apart.

Mahlon Loomis, the Discoverer and Inventor of Radio, OrirB. Young On July 30, 1872 the United States issued its first patent in radio (No. 129,917). Tt was titled “Improvement in ‘Telegraphing” and went to De. Loomis. It was not, of course, a wire telegraph system, but rather a wireless radio system, Since there was no battery, as noted in his scientific notebook, ‘why did it work? That question is the basis for the fact that Dr, Loomis’ rather simple experiment is one of the great experi- mental scientific works of all times. It demonstrates that Mahlon Loomis understood quite well the atmospheric waves, that ninety years later were called Schumann waves, named after the German Scientist W.O. Schumann who theorized them in 1954, “The fact that the system was 600 feet of wire attached to 4 simple non-battery galvanometer is certain proof that the photon and electrial energy was gencrated in the sky between ionosphere and ground. Since his experiment between moun- tains in Virginia was on a clear day, he certainly understood that the atmosphere contained electronic charges from distant LP Atmospheric Radio 53 lighting to power his system. His last paragraph demon- strates that he was hoth scientist and poet. Unfortunately, as with most really great discoveries, Dr. Loomis was denied credit for discovering radio communica tions by a smug and greedy group of lobby types. ‘Twice he applied for $50,000 in funding to develop his research and twice was refused by the Senate. Actually, the Loomis Aerial “Telegraphic Company was eventually chartered by Congress which authorized a Capital stock of $200,000 with the privi- lege of an increase to $2,000,000. ‘The Senate passed the bill and President U.S. Grant signed it. Loomis continued to experiment in West Virginia with ‘wooden towers and steel pipes. He never received his money and died at his brother's home in ‘Terra Alto, West Virginia. Buried in the old local cemetery, in near anonymity lies the real inventor of radio broadcast. cannot determine that a single electrical scientist or written history of radio, such as Syntomy and Spark — The Origins of Radio, by Hugh GJ. Atken, ever spoke of or quot- ed this brilliant scientist. Intellectual dishonesty has always been more rampant in science than elsewhere. IFT, an ento~ mologist, know of Loomis, then surely most American elec- trical engineers and, in particular, physicists must have known of him. Their lick of eredie to him diminishes all in my view. ‘The so-called “Schumann” waves, which would better be called atmospheric “brain waves,” occur in the 8- to 30- Hz Since they exactly match the human brain waves (8, 14, 21, 27 and 33 Hz) I consider that the BEG brain waves are actually the low-frequency atmospheric waves “in the air” of our brain, We are, alter all, mostly water and air. The organie molecales of our bodies are only little photonic oscillators that fil the spaces between the water and atmosphere of our body. Te is highly unlikely that the exact match between low-fre~ 54 Paramagnetion ‘quency atmospheric ELF (8, 14, 21, 27 and 33 Hz) and so- called brain waves is accidental, ‘suggest that this change in our paradigm regarding brain ‘waves will infuriate the elitists of science who utilize mathe- matics to obscure what is obvious in nature, Mathematics is a beautiful and elegant subject which should be utilized to design systems based on nature, not utilized by high-tech technocrats to confuse the public with computer models that have no relationship to what is observable in nature. Tn summary, every living human being is like a sponge in 1 bow! of jelly (the atmosphere). When the atmospheric jelly shakes (ELF waves), then the jelly in the sponge also shakes at the same frequency. The organic photon oscillators of our body superimpose their messages on this atmospheric brain/ body continuum (think about FSP). ‘Somewhere in the world there are atleast 2,000 to 4,000 lightning bolts per minute. These keep the atmosphere li up in the radio region of the spectrum between the ionosphere and the paramagnetic soil ofthe ground. We may consider the system analogous toa fluorescent light bulb where an electric spark, a either end of the tube, keeps the mercury vapor lit up in the UV region, which in turn visibly lights up the white ‘chemical in the bulb called phosphor. Since the covering of the ionosphere around the carth creates a giant resonant cavity, resonant standing waves of energy in the ELF (extremely low frequency) and VLF (very low frequency) radio region occur. I have been able, with my detector, to detect the brain wave region (8, 14,21, 27, 33 Hz), the electrical anesthesia region (600 to 4,000 Fz), ‘and the lightning region (25,000 to 50,000 Hz). “My patented detector for measuring these frequencies is a piece of jute, or burlap, cloth soaked in seawater. NASA and Penn State utilize a huge long coil of wire, somewhat similar to what Dr, Loomis utilized to piek up low-frequency atmo- ELF Atmosphere Radio 5S Phone nis Cheb Rati Amplifier Maer PICRAND, spheric waves. I had to design a much cheaper and lighter system so it could be carried to the top of trees to measure ELF and VLF energy in the forest canopy of the Amazon, Trees, because they are excellent dielectric antennae, res conate very well to ELF and VLF frequencies and even the higher brondeast frequencies. Everyone knows that if you grab the antenna of your litle trnsistorized receiver the sound comes in stronger. That is because your body is an excellent antenna/amplifie in the radio portion ofthe spectrum. Trees, because of their size, are even bewer antennae. In India, rural villagers utilize trees for radio and ‘TV reception, Like Dr. Loomis’ long wires from flying kites, barbed wire fences and power grids, which may be thousands of miles long, are excellent antennae for ELF and VLF atmospheric waves, Nearby fences and power grids show both atmospheric waves and 60 cycles. 56. Paramagntism <0 Aperture Spread ~~ a Ligh re Since ELE/VLF frequencies saturate all of the atmo- sphere, they are not going to my cloth antenna from point A to point B (as between broadcast tower and receiver), but rather the cloth detector is imbedded in the atmospheric fre- quency. Therefore the energy is at what is called zero aperture by antenna engineers. Thus, there is no spread of the radio light as from a flashlight. Since there is no spread, total spatial coherence is at the cloth detector. In other words, the radio is spatially coherent, not necessarily time coherent. Coherent ‘means all che energy is in one space at one time like marching soldiers, not a mob scattered, or incoherent, ELF Aomuspherc Radio ST TT ae In order to make absolutely certain that my ELE/VLE trce frequencies were not artifacts of 60 Hz (or 50 Hz. in Europe and Ireland), I created checks by taking measurements in sheltered valleys miles from power stations.

They guided us and climbed to the eanopy ‘with my detector and oscilloscope. The frequencies, though weaker, were very much present, proving them to be part of the atmosphere, amplified by both trees and the highly para- ‘magnetic soil, which acts as one plate of a huge condenser for the FLF/VLF radio radiation, ‘When researchers from Oxford and Arizona radio carbon dated the Shroud of Turin they did not utilize a check for comparison as I did in my experiments.

Then, of course, I was using my own “dreamy” brain for an antenna! ‘That is a deadly statement fora scientist and will no doube diminish my reputation among high-energy technocrats. 58 Paramagnetion 59 Chapter 7 ROUND TOWERS Ie cannot be 19 strongly emphasized that writen records om his subject ae all very much seeodary.

In Enniskillen I searched out a good natured Irish fisherman and rented his time and boat to row me out to Devinish Island. On the way across the choppy waters of Lough Erne, he brought me up to date on the magic of that ancient monastery island. He pointed out that the local farm cers shared its grazing rights and ferried their catle to its shores since the grass was the finest in the country. The great taste of sgrass-fed Irish beef is no secret. “That day, like D-Day which was not so long before my island visit, will remain forever in my mind, I remember it as being a black, stormy, rainy day, so wild that even the great 60 Paramagnetion Round Tasers 61 Catalina Aying boats and white swans stayed close to the shore That dismal day should have been enough to dampen anyone's spirits. Instead, from the moment I landed on the island, it was as if [had entered another world ping orders to Ireland in World War II always read: ‘ol, wet, and mindy, and Devinish lived up to that description. Despite the storm, I remained on the island until after dark when my fisherman friend returned for me. The entire day was one of euphoria —a dream world magnified, I have since returned to Devinish five times and visited most of Irelands other remaining, or partially remaining, sixty-five round tow- Phare of Drs ond te dan 62 Paramagnetiom Author Wid Wr ding of rnd Round towers are unique to Ireland alone and are arranged on the ground in a recursive pattern in relation to the stars of the night sky above. In later years I began to wonder, exactly what was the magic of these towers? No one seemed to really understand why they were built, certainly not as hiding places for monks to escape Vikings or bandit attacks as many books speculated, Nobody in their right mind would run into @ smokestack to escape an attacking enemy, Except for the Seattery Island tower, at the mouth of the River Shannon, all round tower doors are from nine to fifteen feet above the ground, This is what led to the simplistic view that they were places of refuge — as if Vikings could not climb of light a fire to smoke vietims out. Why then, T ask myself, were round tower doors nine to fifteen feet above the ground? Round Taner 63 Half of science is in asking the right questions. ‘The right ‘question was: *Could the towers be some form of dielectric radio antenna for focusing lightning-radio waves?” In Southeast Asia and the Philippines Thad often noticed bamboo shoots growing during electric storms as if viewed by time-lapse photography (see A Walk In The Sum by the author). Lightning-radio waves, in those early days, were called static or noise. In radio there is an old saying, “One ‘man’s noise is another man’s signal.” Lightning static was obviously my signal if it could speed up bamboo shoot growth. Since round towers are not metal, as are most low-fre quency radio systems, then they had to be dielectric wave guide antennae for photon energy. A photon isa mathematical particle of energy that describes the behavior of the spectrum from radio waves at one end to gamma radiation atthe other (Gee Exploring The Spectrum by the autho). In 1953, D.G, Kiely wrote a small book called Dielectric Aerials, ‘That book was my bible for studying the waxy spines, called sensilla, on insect antenna, Dielectric resonators are ‘what later became known as fiber optics waveguides. They guide and amplify electromagnetic waves. A dielectric is an insulative substance that ean be a semiconductor, a substance that weakly conducts current. (Our friend John ‘Tyndall discovered dielectric waveguides in water when he shone a light down a flow of water from a hose. He noticed that the light followed the water without spreading out to the sides. It makes John Tyndall not only the first solid state physicist, but also the first photonic wave guide, or fiber optic, scientist. This is another simple, and great, experiment that anyone can replicate by holding a ‘waterproof flashlight and shining it up from the bottom of faucet flow to observe the light In the case of a transparent tube like plexiglass, a water dielectric or fiber optics, the light 64 Paramagnetiom Plaigh experimen itsrting pn sceuie fe. g0¢s up the center. Kielys book covered both ordinary wave- guides but also what is called open resonators. I discovered that insect sensilla are open resonators that is, the energy travels on the surface of the spine and not down the center Since insect spines are in the micrometer range in length (1 micrometer = 1/1,000 of a millimeter) then the wavelength must be ofthe dimensions (or multiples thereof) ofthe spine length Something unique occurred while I was studying the sen- sill under the microscope. They were, as often as nor, small Round Tasers 65 Seent rolecies Inset Sensi (Open Resonators Ir il micrometer-long models ofthe huge religious structures I had ‘observed in my walk around the world. If insect antenna sen~ silla resonate to infrared frequencies from vibrating molecules such as scent, why couldn't stone rings, megalithic tombs, sound towers or great Gothic Cathedrals be dielectric antenna-waveguides for ELF radio waves? They are the dimensions of the much longer radio waves. Early in the 1970s, I carried my old D.C. 222 Tektronix oscilloscope to Ireland. By means of the probe and a loop of seawater-soaked jute cord, I connected it to the base of the tower at Glendalough. The round tower at Glendalough is in perfect condition, and sits at the head of a beautiful wooded valley about thirty miles south of Dublin. Ie is my favorite tower. 66 Paramagnetion erties ard tbe weld fonction a ri seul cha tp ib Round Towers PT ae eere) PT hd 68 Paramagnetion Impedance is a form of electrical resistance to current flow between two parts of an electronic circuit. The imped- ance match between the wet cord and the stone tower was much better than I had ever thoughe it might be. I was in for 2 delightful surprise, As Dr. Loomis said, “A solemn feeling seemed to be impressed upon those who witnessed the perfor- mance as if some grave mystery hovered there around the simple scene, notwithstanding the results were confidently expected.” Unlike Dr. Loomis, the results I obtained were not confidently expected — they were only slightly hoped for! The crowd around me was not a group of friends but tour As [ sat at the base of the beautiful Glendalou 10 shield the scope face from the sunlight, I be waves coming in with a very peculiar pattern. I soon rower realized that I was looking at what, when seen at high energies, smble a bow and physicists call targer waves, because they re sow or rifle target with a large center circled by narrow ‘outer rings. There was one difference, I was looking at target waves from the side. Another difference was that the side-viewed outer waves were not evenly spaced as in a regular target wave, but varied from narrow rings to rings that got wider and wider as they passed across the scope. Furthermore, they came from a series passing in one or two seconds to one I measured at Dog Rock in Australia that lasted four hours. In the old days (1946-48), when I was installing 300. KHz radio range stations in Japan during the occupation, we usually had to construct a false ground of wire mesh six to ten feet above the real ground to keep the radio beams stable. Sometimes, over heavy clay soil, the real ground was stable enough, like a metal plate of a condenser, to maintain a strong signal with no artifical ground, In every case, how. lever it was necessary to raise the tower base on an insulator Round Tavers 69 2 ( 6) | I iv \ Mh “Tiree se fom ace adie vr he enw rack i rei ser six to ten feet up in the air. This is because there is always a ‘null or low signal right atthe ground due to the fact thatthe ‘wave is reflected back from the ground and cancels itself at ground level. The tower wave also has a “shadow” wave in the ground making a half-wave antenna in reality a full-wave antenna. measured the Glendalough tower at ground level —no signal! I slowly raised my saltwater-soaked cord up the tower, At sixinches the signal was weak, at three feet it began to come in quite strong. As T approached the door which faces south- southeast and is 3.20 meters above ground level, the signal increased in strength until itwas 20 mv, atits strongest on the scope, right at the bottom of the doorway. “The tower is constructed of mica-schist and granite, both paramagnetic. The mortar of round towers is believed to be ‘made with ox blood, also making it paramagnetic T spent the rest of the day measuring and plotting ELF energy around Glendlough round tower. In every measure- ment, the atmospheric ELF at 8 Hz, 2,000 Hz, and target ‘wave region (from 300 Hz down to 0 at the middle and back ‘up to 300), wherever the detector touched the tower, increased in amplitude from three to eight times. 10 Paramagnetion halt wave (ar full wave shadow halt wave (ground) adie and shad bale, Thad discovered that round towers are indeed high tower ELF radio antenna paramagnetic amplifiers. More astonishing yet, I discovered the ancient Trish monks of the Sth to 9th ‘centuries were rock antenna radio engineers. ‘Most round towers of Ireland are now without floors or ladders, however, I was able to visit the tower on Seattery Island where the door is at ground level. Inside I discovered that without even touching my jute-salewater cord to the walls, that at the center there was a two- to four-time increase in the strength of the waves. The 8-Hz and 2,000-Hz waves always came in strongest at dawn and dusk. I recorded the same ELF phenomenon in so-called megalithic tombs and even found a megal Round Tiers 71 graph of a target wave on the side of the chamber at Lougherew.

Sykes, and The Closing ofthe American ‘Mind, by Allan Bloom. ‘Why do I ask what will happen when the common-sense research by Princeton researchers begins to yield solid results? Quite simply i is because today’s intellectual atmo- sphere is infused by a desire to control nature. Put more simply, modern researchers tend to practice manipulation and not science. Science is discovery, manipulation is the belief that one can utilize discovery to shape nature to man's will, That, of course, cannot be accomplished, for nature’ plan is God's plan. One does not need to read this book to come to the real- ization that manipulation is today synonymous with science. ‘Almost every newspaper has articles on man's unique ability to manipulate DNA in order to create “better”, more “vigorous, or “more money yielding” plants. DNA research lends itself to this man-is-God syndrome. Materialistic skeptics will mai tain that farmers manipolate nature. ‘That is very true of chemical farming where one imposes on nature what are, in essence, poisons to eliminate problems eo-agriculture is not manipulation, but simply replace- ‘ment agriculture. [es the ancient, or Irsh-Celtic if you prefer, form of agriculture where mankind worked very hard to replace what he took from the land. Crop rotation is one ‘example of this sort of farming. 76 Paramagnetion ‘Man was originally 2 hunter/gatherer. Somewhere along the way he discovered that he could not only gather animals together for food by herding, but he could also gather plants by field farming. This form of endeavor is not manipulation, itis simply a method for the concentration of food resources for the purpose of a more efficient gathering, which we call the harvest. When I went to school at Arkansas and Kansas State, the agricultural experiment stations encouraged the scientific study of efficent gathering. Dr. Reginald Painter, with whom T worked at Kansas State, was the world’s most renowned gatherer. He went outinto the fields of Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska and found individual wheat plants that were resis- tant to disease and insect damage. He brought them back to the laboratory and in his greenhouses worked on breeding, by natural means, large populations of these naturally resistant varieties. My job was to discover why they were resistant, In par- ticular, I studied corn resistance to the corn earworm moth. I soon discovered that if grew my small, 1/8-aere plots on poor soil they attracted far more com earworm moth eggs than plots on dark, well aerated, bottomland soil. In other words, healthy plants require healthy soil. And healthy plants, like healthy people, simply do nor attract disease or insects, Why? Te took me forty years to find out why and that is the sub~ ject of a much longer, more complex, scientific paper that will be of little use to the family farmer trying to grow food for my family and others who like to eat. Put quite simply, it is because unhealthy plants from “sick,” poison-fed, soil give off slightly higher ethanol and ammonia infrared ‘signals than healthy plants. This is particularly true of modern farmed ammonia-
