This has *rown to "e a thou*ht which constantly tortures me. For
a lon* time 5 ha#e won'ere' what coul' "e 'one. Since
chil'hoo' 5 ha#e ha' the 'ream of *rowin* foo' in *reenhouses
in some re#olutionary fashion! more: "etter an' "i**er cros
than ha#e e#er "een *rown. %ith this aim in #iew: se#en years
a*o 5 "ou*ht myself a seclu'e' farm in the country near
Bancroft: Ontario: retire' myself from the un"elie#a"ly "usy life
of a fashiona"le interior 'ecorator in Toronto: an' starte'
lannin* for the monster *reenhouses 5 inten'e' to erect uon
my farm. Three inci'ents suffice' to re'irect my lannin*. First:
5 rea' a "oo9: Chariots of the ;o's: "y Can 4ani9en in which he
ostulate' the theory that in incre'i"ly lon*-*one aeons
e3traterrestrial "ein*s #isite' the earth--E*o'sE--an' left art of
their "ein*s an' of their intelli*ence as a le*acy for the chil'ren
they sire' uon the a"ori*inal earth inha"itants with whom they
coha"itate'. &art of this le*acy: it is ostulate' "y some: may lie
in the yrami's.
Secon'ly: after e3tensi#e an' ainsta9in* e3eriments with the
yrami': 5 ro#e' to myself: as others ha#e 'one: that the
yrami' is a "lessin* in 'is*uise: one that coul' ossi"ly "e the
ultimate sa#in* of man9in* as far as the *rowth an' stora*e of
foo' are concerne'.
Lastly: 5 atten'e' a lecture a few years a*o in &eter"orou*h:
Ontario: Cana'a: sonsore' "y yrami' authorities Alfre' %ar'
an' Bruce Fna. Alfre' %ar' oerates a franchise for sellin*
yrami' ro'ucts manufacture' "y a firm in ;len'ale:
California: an' Bruce Fna is an amateur yrami'olo*ist
resi'in* in &eter"orou*h: Ontario: Cana'a.
At the lecture 5 was astonishe' to hear my theories "ein* so9en
"y Fna. He too thou*ht that the E*o's:E foreseein* the
calamitous imasse to which man9in' woul' one 'ay "rin*
AthemBselA#esB "y AtheirB un"ri'le' se3ual aetites an' lac9 of

an i'ea as to how they coul' raise #ast amounts of foo' in small
saces an': more imortantly: how they coul' store that foo' "y
the use of yrami'al shaes.
This last inci'ent was the imetus which finally turne' my
thou*hts of con#entional *reenhouses: alrea'y 'ente' "y Con

woo' in e3act roortion to the measurements of the ;reat

5 felt that the yrami's of the worl': "roo'in* throu*h the
centuries: their ultimate secrets there to "e seen "ut as yet unrea'

their 'estine' art in the E*o's7E en'ea#or to sa#e us from the
reesults of our own folly. Hum"ly enou*h: 5 felt that may"e it
was to "e my art in the uni#ersal scheme of thin*s to "e the
catalyst which woul' transform theory into fact: chan*e
yrami's from one of the won'ers of the ancient worl' to one of
the sa#iors of the mo'ern.

Since no"o'y else seeme' intereste' in tryin* the ractical use
of yrami's on a lar*e scale for the *rowin* the conser#ation of

a*e. 0any eole throu*hout the worl' were 'a""lin* in
e3eriments with yrami'al shaes. 5t has "een shown:
conclusi#ely enou*h to satisfy me: that these shaes 'o ha#e an
effect uon lant *rowth. So why not com"ine my 'ream of
monster *reenhouses with the 'emonstrate' a"ility of the
yrami's to force lant *rowth( 5f the theories shoul' not ro#e
correct: only 5 woul' "e the loser. 5f: on the other han': as 5
stron*ly feel: the theories 'o hol' water: man9in' in *eneral

These were the thou*hts: then: "ehin' the erection of the first of
my yrami's in 12.+. This yrami' has "een the su"=ect of a

'o 5 reco*niDe this in my e3eriments. Howe#er: of imortance
is that it 'oes collect 'own throu*h the ea9 an' continues

The main urose of this small "oo9: in a''ition to ac?uaintin*
you with the "asics of the yrami's: is to show you how you can
*row "umer cros with the use of a yrami'. The ma*netic
fiel' lays a #ery imortant art in lant life: animal life an' of
course human life. Nothin* woul' thri#e without it: in fact
nothin* coul' li#e without it. 5n our 'ay-to-'ay li#es we are use'
to seein* lants an' animals of the same tye or "ree' *row to
normal siDe in a''ition to erio'ic occasions in which one or
more of these #arieties *rows far an' a"o#e the e3ecte'. There
is a reason for these occasional eiso'es of suer*rowth. 5t can
"e e3laine': or shoul' 5 say: in #arious ways. 5t coul' "e 'ue to
that articular iece of soil: well fertiliDe' an' watere': or a
Esuer*rownE lant coul' "e in the same 9in' of soil: with the
same con'itions: as those lants *rowin* normally: "ut
ositione' erhas near a metal fence. 5n nearly e#ery instance:
anythin* *rowin* "y an iron fence will "e "i**er an' "etter than
one nowhere near metal. The reason is that the iron fence ic9s
u static or ma*netic ener*y an' fee's it to the lant.
5 remem"er my mother an' *ran'mother lacin* lar*e nails in
the soil of their otte' house lants "ecause lants thus treate'
always *rew "i**er an' "etter. They ha' no i'ea why. 5n fact: if
you as9e' them: the stan'ar' answer was that: as the nail ruste':
the lant fe' on it. This reasonin* is falli"le: howe#er: "ecause
for one thin*: lants can only a"sor" minerals in li?ui' form an'
for another: the rust woul' 9ill some lants. 6ather: the nails
ic9e' u the ma*netic ener*y an' "ooste' the house lants7
*rowth. 5 suose you can see that what 5 am 'ri#in* at is that
when a lant recei#es an e3tra 'ose of ener*y to that alrea'y
floatin* free in the atmoshere: that 'ose acts as a stimulant an'
causes "etter *rowth. %hat really haens is that the li#in* cells
are increase' in siDe: an' naturally when each cell is lar*er: since
there are still the
same num"er of cells: the final lant is a lot lar*er than normal.
To illustrate: if 5 fill a "asin half full of 'rie' eas an' fill it u
with water: "y the time the eas ha#e comletely soa9e' they fill
the "asin. There are still the same num"er of eas: "ut there
aear to "e many more.
Similarly: if you lant a lant in a yrami': the same sort of
thin* haens: "ut there is a 'ifference. As 'etaile' earlier: the
yrami' collects ma*netic ener*y an' a"sor"s it to a hi*her
intensity than the nails in the lant ots 'i': a much *reater
intensity or stren*th: an' so the en' result is: you can e3ect
enormous *rowth: an' when this is alie' to #e*eta"les an'
fruits: the lants: as well as their ro'ucts: are immensely
o#ersiDe'. 0y own e3eriments ha#e con#ince' me that this
ener*y creates a secial reaction in li#in* cells of lants:
resultin* in lar*er "looms: lea#es an' fruits on whate#er lants

The normal life cycle of lettuce: for instance: from see' to

cycle is still the same: "ut the lant is consi'era"ly lar*er. 5f one

Thus: the two a''itional floors #irtually 'ou"le the *rowin* area.

uer floors to 'ecrease more slowly in siDe than they woul' if
lace' farther aart: for as the ea9 of the yrami' is
aroache': the floors 'ecrease in area at each ro*ression. One
of the "enefits o"taine' with these e3tra floors is that since heat

5n a''ition to foo' *rowth: the yrami' also has alication in

all foo' *rown in my home country of Cana'a is lost to
utrefaction: whether at the lace of stora*e: in transort: in
wholesale an' retail: or finally in the home. 5f this haens all

hi*her an' hi*her rices for what 'oes reach us.
These fi*ures mean that either our metho's of stora*e are hi*hly
inefficient or someone in authority coul'n7t care less. 6e*ar'less
of how this soila*e occurs: howe#er: the state of affairs can an'
must "e reme'ie'< it is "oth ri'iculous an' criminal to let it
continue. E#en thou*h 5 ha#e tol' how--as well as shown an'
ro#en how--to use the yrami's to sol#e the ro"lem: on ra'io
an' tele#ision an' in newsaers: no one in any *o#ernmental

Ener*y of the yrami' that *rows lants so amaDin*ly well can
"e use' also for the urose of mummification of foo': which
can "e 'ehy'rate' an' 9et in stora*e for an in'efinite erio'
without losin* any of its taste or nutritional roerties. There are
a"solutely no ill effects on any foo' store' in a yrami'. 5n fact:
in many instances it is far "etter when reconstitute' than it was

remain in *oo' shae an' will not "rea9 'own. For further roof:
the *rain *rown in 0anito"a to'ay is a 'irect 'escen'ant of the
*rain foun' in the ;reat &yrami': *rain that ha' "een there for
centuries an ha' 9et erfectly. The *o#ernment 9nows this "ut
still "emoans the amount of *rain lost to utrefaction in

To achie#e the "est results with lants: a few simle ractices
shoul' "ecome art of your routine.
First: ne#er *i#e see's or cuttin*s col' water< it has a shoc9in*:
'ama*in* effect. Let the water assume the temerature of the
en#ironment in which the lants are *rowin* "efore it is use'. 5n
a''ition: water ener*iDe' an' store' o#er a yrami' *enerator
will imro#e *rowth su"stantially.
Secon'ly: it is "est to start cuttin*s an' see'lin*s in tin cans for a
"etter root system than normally is achie#e' "y lantin* in soil
alone. The metal in the cans ro#i'es a "oost to lant *rowth. A
hole in the cottom of the can will ro#i'e roer 'raina*e. 5f you
'o choose to lant in ots: it is helful t lace "its of metal in
the "ottom of the ots to ai' *rowth. 5t is imortant: howe#er:
not to lu* the ot7s 'raina*e hole.
Also: when you lant in a ermanent osition out'oors: it is
helful to lay the lant roots towar' the north inte hole or:
refera"ly: trench: in which the lant is ositione'. Ne#er lant
with roots ointin* towar' the east or west. A*ain: lacin*
ieces of metal all aroun' the lants will ro#e tremen'ously

CONT6OLS--One final ti: an' also one of the most imortant
when e3erimentation is in#ol#e': is to set u a control a*ainst
which to #ali'ate results achie#e' in your e3eriments. A control
is a EnormalE use' for comarison to e3erimental results.
