development of quantum mechanical tunneling which
has been of major importance not only in physics but
also to modern solid-state electronics.
In science, one progresses from an observation

not only that die hypothesis is correct but that the hypothesis is indeed a dieory. The dieory must then predict
other observable effects that can be tested and experimentally confirmed. The tact that a certain device in this
book works docs not mean that all our theories are
wrong but only that our understanding of how diese
theories should be applied is faulty in this particular. a sc.
Essentially, we do not know everydiing. Indeed, w hat we
do know may nor be so, but may have some curious little
twist diat we have overlooked. Apparent violations of die
laws o fphysics are usually an opportunity to make progress
in our knowledge of the universe.
In science, we also seek to understand how nature works. And we often misunderstand or follow false
leads. Actually, die "laws of nature' are generalizations
from experience. For example, the violation of the law of
gravity is punished not by a jail sentence but more fittingly by falling on one's face. Further, such generalizations are living concepts needing modification in details

Historical Background
Many readers will immediately recognize this
device as die legendary "dowsing rod." Other names
include "water rods" or "witching rods." In die form o f
a branched or forked stick or twig- some operators claim

work properly - the device has been used in Europe and
America for unknown centuries. Its actual source is
shrouded in folklore, much of which is considered to be
evil or the 'work of the devil" because of the inexplicable
operation of the device. In recent times, dowsing rods
were used by United States Marine Corps soldiers in
South Viet Nam for die pui poseof locating underground
Viet C o n g tunnels. However, no official reports o f this
exist and, as might Ix* expected, no oiiicial confirmation
o f tliis use has ever been made.

Author's Experience:
T h e author built and experimented with his first
pairofdowsing rods in 1955 at the rocket research center
at White Sands Proving Ground and around his home
in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The basic metal dowsing
rods described later in this chapter were used. T h e author was successful in locating the underground water
and sewer pipes leading into his home. At a later time,
he found the rods useful in locating misplaced objects,
especially books.

Operoting Hints:
It doesn't make any difference whether the rods are
together in front of von or pointing di reedy away from
one another; when they swing, they swing. W h e n you've
located what you're looking tor, the action of die rods is
unmistakable; when they swing, they swing. Operators
continually report (and it's con finned by the author) that
there seems to be some sort of definite, positive physical
force that makes the rods move. Furthermore, t hey seem
to move in unison.
Experiments:
It you misplace something, try using the rods to
help you locate it. Put the rods in hand and simply begin
to turn ami11id; wiieiiyoti're |K>itited in thedirection yot t

You should be able to pin-point its location using the
principles of tnangulation by taking "sightings" from

where you re most likely to find what you're looking for.

Hypotheses:
T h e existence ol die dowsing rod phenomenon
has naturally led people to formulate a number of hypotheses concerning how the rods work. A m o n g die
most interesting and the most acceptable o f diese hypotheses (another word lor unconfirmed, unsubstantiated, wild guesses) are:
T h e operators may somehow know, perhaps on
a subconscious level, the location ol the object they're
searching for.
T h e rods might serve 01 ily as a "crutch" to stimulate the recall o f memories concei ning die location oJ the
object.
1 he operators may actually sense il ie presence of
what they're looking lor and use the ixkIs only as an
"amplifier" or a physical "detector ' ol the presenceot the
object, the rods actually being swung by subconscious
movements of the operator s wrists.
J here are other less-tenable hypotheses involving "psychic forces'' or extrasensory perception. At this
rime, it's impossible to confirm such hypodieses to die
level ol credibility demanded by scientific peer groups.
Such hypotheses must be viewed as ''beliefs" or the results ofwishfiil thinking rarher than the products o f data
from carefully-conducted experiments. Perhaps some
reader may be able to design, carry out. and validate a
repeatable experiment dint will lead toward the develop-

Conclusions:
T h e audior has seen dowsing rod; used successfullyon many occasions. T h e use o f dowsing rods seems
to be a repeatable phenomenon. T h e audior also happens to be one o f those who can make them work tor
him, whereas his wife cannot. Reported observations o f
the phenomenon from reliable observers abound. T h e
device is simple, inexpensive, can be readily made by
most people, and can be used to conduct numerous
experiments, most of which haven't been done yet, to
investigate the teasor.s for its operation. T h e nature o f
diese experiments is such that the basic ones can be
carried out by nearly anyone willing to follow die basic
guidelines tor the design and conduct o f scientific experiments.

CHAPTER THREE
PYRAMIDS
Basic Description:
Tetrahedral pyramids made from elecnically non-conducting materials have been used to maintain sharp
cutting edges on steel instruments, dehydrate or mummify organic materials, and improve die growth rates of
plants. T h e precise mechanism(s) by which a hollow
pyramidal shape accomplishes these things
unknown.
37
Historical Background:
Many advocates and proponents of "pyramid
power" tend to base their hypotheses o n elements from
Egyptian history and mythology. S o m e o f these people
believe that die ancicnt Egyptians possessed arcane knowledge that led this early riverine culture to build the fabled
pyramids of Giza on the basis of either scientific principles unknown to us today or empirical data acquired
by means otten classified a< "bizarre" by die detractors of
die Egyptian hypotheses.
Regardless of whether or not any of the hypotheses derived from ancient Egyptian history may be tnie,
d ie demonstrable fact remains that tetrahedral pyramid
shapes appear to do scrnerlung to objects placed inside
diem and offer a subject an reliable to experimentation, by
modern techniques carried out by bo Hi professional and
amateur scientists.
38
Pyramids
T h e modern historical background o f pyramid
research began in the 1930s. Antoine Bovis, the owner
of a hardware store ("Quincaillerie Bovis ct Passeron"')
in Nice, France, took a nip to Egypt in die 1 9 3 0 s and
visited die "great pyramid" of Cheops at Giza. W h i l e
inside the King's Chamber of die great pyramid, Bovis
noticed a garbage can filled to the top widi dead small
animals which the guide told him wander in die structure (torn time to time, liecome lost, and die. It seemed
unusual to Bovis thai tl lesedead animals appeared to be
completely desiccated (mummified) with no trace ofdccay
or putrefaction. U p o n his return to Nice, he built a
plywood pyramid in which lie placed a dead cat. T h e
carcass of the cat did not decay hut became desiccated.
Unfortunately, Bovis did not believe in the scientific method nor in conducting proper scientific experiments with lull documentation, l ie made no attempt to
present papers before scientific societies where his work
would have been subjected to peer review, comment,
and criticism and so others could duplicate die experiments for verification of results. Bovis preferred to believe in intuition and faith. Although the synthesis o f
seemingly unrelated data by intuition is the basis for all
gneatadvances in science, pioneers such as Albert Einstein,
Max Planck, Charles Darwin, Edwin Hubble, Marie
Curie, and Sir Alexander Fleming followed dieir intuitive discoveries by publication, permitting and encouraging others to verify and expand their results and hypodi-

patents are granted alter an examination period of two
to three years, but it took Drbal ten years to get his potent.
It was granted on August I 5 , 1 9 5 9 only after he'd proved
to theChief Examiner, Engineer Vreeion, that a pyramid
did indeed maintain die edge on a razor blade. In the
course of this decade-long examination period, Drbal
performed some experiments and made some measurements drat will be discussed later.
Cardboard pyramids came into use in the Czech
army as a way for soldiers to keep their razors sharp.
Soldiers ii i the Soviet army picked up this concept in later
years. 1 he Soviet soldiers would get only one razor blade
per month, so it's important to them to keep their razors
sharp. I lowever, no company has placed pyramids on
the market anywhere, including eastern Europe. Drbal
believes his invention has been suppressed by razor blade
manufacturers who do not want to see their products
used ten times as long. This reaction, however, is typical
o f some inventors ol strange machines who often believe
there are paranoid plots to keep their inventions secret.
The lackof pyramid products more likely arises from die
fact that they are so easy and simple to quickly build using
available materials.
A number ol European researchers began to
experiment with Drbal's pyramids. Drbal came into
correspondence with pyramid researchers in Sweden,

and statistical protocols. They revealed increased growth
rates of pea and bean plants, improved preservation o f

lower level of confidence indicated that the weight o f

materials might have been preserved longer, and that tl ie
death or decay rates ol live plants might have been decreased. Tests on human volui iteors who slept torsevctal
nights inside pyramidal tenrs provided a subjective consensus that there had been a change in the quality of
sleep, vividness of dream recall, overall emotional state,
and openness to new experiences. I lowever, die changes
were not in the same direction for all group members.

Operating Instructions:
Early experimenters such as Drbal maintained
dial a pyramid hnd to be aligned with the local magnetic
north. Flanagan discovered diat diis orientation was not
necessary. Other researchers believed that die object to
be processed should be plated al die scale location of die
King's Chamber of the Cheops' pyramid - i.e.. about
one-third the height ol the pyramid up from the base
directly Ixmeadi the apex. I lowever, Ranagan again
showed dial an object could be located anywhere within
the pyramid and be subjected to the same unknown
energies.
T h e easiest and most dramatic experiment that
can be conducted widi a pyramidal shape is die classic
razor blade experiment. This requires a 12-inch or an 1Sinch pyramid.
Obtain at least six. good quality razor blades or
disposable razors.
Select one at random and mark ir tor identification.

Each morning, shave one side of die face with die

Use a good quality shaving cream, and use the

53
Hypotheses:
W h e n it comes to specularingwhv pyramids work
as they appear to do, die re are about as many hypotheses
as there are investigators. Some hypotheses are, frankly,
quite speculative.
In many cases, investigators utilize scientific terminology such as die word "energy" to describe something that may not be energy at a!', as physicists and
engineers know ir. This happens to be die case when it
comes to discussing many ol these strange machines
and, in tact, unknown or "psychic* phenomena in general. O n e should always keep in mind that tenninology
is often borrowed and then used with perhaps a different
S4
Pyramids
meaning in mind because people have an overwhelming
tendency to name die unknown, thereby giving ihem the
belief that they partially understand ir. li is not diat
investigators o f strange phenomena are too lazy or ignorant to develop their own terminology because diey often
do, coining words to describe phenomena yet with litde
or no attempt made to carefully define or quantify these
new terms.
T h e terms "energy," "power," "radiation, 1 ' and
other words pertaining lo unseen and non-physical
manifestations of the universe are most usually
bor-
rowed' to describe the unseen, non-physical, and unknown phenomena associated widi strange machines
and other discrepancies in the Universe as we perceive
it.
As scientific research proceeds as a result of the
investigation ot machines such as pyramids and others
described in this book, you can rest assured that the new
fields of scientific researel i will indeed develop tl leir own
jargon as factor*- and phenomena are identified and
quantified.
Be that as it may, in the case of pyramid phenomena, ii is obvious diar the shape of die pyramid accelerates. retards, or concentrates some physical factor diat
results in change. Therefore, perhaps die word ''energy"
may be appropriate along with die word "radiation'
56
Pyramids
However, it is known exactly how much energy
is required to break a crystalline bond. I n die microscopic world on die edge of a razor blade, dicre are many
severed crystalline bonds created l?y die sharpening ot
die edge by grinding. This produces a surlace widi unsatisfied bonds thnr will link widi anything, especially
water. W h e n a water molecule bonds to die crystalline
structure o f razor steel, it softens the steel. Research in
diis area has been done in Germany.
In the case of the bond that develops between a
water molectilcand anything else, die energy in the bom I
is extremely small, being approximately 1.0 to 1.5 electron volts (eV). Scientifically, t h i s t h e amount of energy
acquired by an electron when accelerated across a potential difference of one volt. It is :i very small amount o f
energy, amounting to 1.602 x I 0 1 V to 2.4 x 10 * wanseconds. That's 16 or 24 widi 18 zeroes in front of it
before you gel to the decimal point.
This minutcamountofenergy is presentall around
us in the form of' 1 sferics" or the discharges that take place
between the Earth and itscharged ionosphere. lightning
is an intense form of sterics. Sferics have a broad radio
frequency spectrum; sferics are "noise'' in diee-m environment. T h e minute energy o f sferics could be easily
concentrated or focused. There is indeed energy available because there's a potential difference of about 100
volts per foot in die vertical electrostatic field ofthe Eardi.
This means that diere is an electrical difference of 6 0 0
Speculation:
1. H i e pyramidal shape is a resonator to the frequencies present in sferics. T h e bigger die pyramidal
shape, die broader die bandwidth o f sferics to which it
is resonant.
2. It isn't necessary that a pyramid be made o f metal
ro be an effective resonator o f electromagnetic energy; it
is only necessary that its surface have a dielectric
constant
diar's different from die surrounding air because highfrequency radio waves (including microwaves) can be
bent or reflected by anything having a dielectric constant
different than the surrounding air. (If dus were not so,
radar wouldn't work.)
58
Pyramids
3. A pyramidal shape can therefore serve as enough
of a resonator o felectromagnetic energy present in sferics
to break, the crystalline bond between die razor blade
steel alloy and the water molecule, thereby restoring the
original crystalline structure of die edge. (Eventually,
because die pyramid shape cannot concentrate enough
energy to break all the steel-waier bonds, the build up of
softer steel-water crystals on the edge causes die edge to
become soft and dull.)
T h e apparent ability of a pyramid shape to dehydrate or immunity organic material may l v due to die
ability o f t h e shape to concentrate, locus, or otherwise
resonate widi the microwave frequencies ol sferics. This
can be measured with modem hmcnunentation, And it should
be. H i e various characteristics of purified (distilled) water
placed in a pyramid shape should be investigated and
measured to determine such gross and easily-measured
factors as surface tension, which is a measure of the
internal energy of the water molecules. It should also be
possible to accurately measure the frequencies and intensities of electromagnetic radiation at various points inside a pyramid shape.
Much of this has been done, but little ol it has
been openly reported in die scientific literature because
ot the 'peer review" process in which other scientists
read and comment upon all submitted scientific papers.
It's quite likely that most of this material has either been
rejected with the derisive snort, ''Huh? Pyramid power!
59
Conclusions:
1. It works.
2. There may be a simple physical explanation tor
it if anyone bodiers to look for it.

CHAPTER FOUR
Basic Description:
T h e "energy wheel' is a small "wheel" or concentrically
balanced object made from extremely light material. T h i s
is balanced horizontally on the sharp point ol a needle
or pin held in a vertical position by a suitable base plate.
T h e operator places the device on a table, sits down, and
places both hands cupped horizontally around die energy wheel. T h e objective is to "think" the lightweight
61
Historic Background:
Apparently, the lirst device similar (bur perhaps
differing in construction) to die energy wheel was called
a "Biometre" and was developed by a Dr. Hippolvte
Baraduc o f France (no biographical data can be located).
It consisted ofa copperneedle suspended horizontally by
a thread from the top center o f a glass dome. Beneath the
dome was a horizontal dial marked oft in circular degrees. The operator would cup both hands around die
glass dome and, by **concentrated thought." rotate die
needle left or right to die number of degrees marked on
d ie diiil.
A. M . O . R. C . (Ancient and Mystical Order of
the Rose Cross, odierwise known as the Rosicnician
Brotherhood) developed a similar device consisting o f a
needle floating on water.

Basic Description:
I n some respects, the two different pendulum types
described in this chapter are similar in operation to die

light masses suspended from supports by thin direads.
It is claimed that the action of volitional dioitght. can

84
Pendulums
T o use the pendulum as a locator similar to detector rods, the operator asks the pendulum to swing in
the direction o f th e o bject whose loca ti o n is being sought.
There is, of course, an ambiguity in die fact that die
unknown object can be located in cither direction diat
the pendulum swings - i.e., if the pendulum swings in
a north-south plane, die object could be located either
north or south of the operator. Some operators appear
to be extremely adept in getting the pendulum to swing
in a most unusual fashion when in the locator mode: they
can cause the pendulum to swing Irom its vertical rest
position to a displaced position in the direction of the
object, then cause the pendulum to swing between the
vertical rest position and the displaced position.
Historical Background:
' T h e Magic Pendulum" has its origins lost in the
mists o f prehistory. It has long been a device used by
wizards and shamins. Just because a device has a long
history doesn't mean that we, with our immensely increased wisdom growing from a centuries-old legacy of
scientific progress, should bodi scoff at and ridicule such
devices diat appear to have 110 rational explanation in
terms o f the Universe as we know and believe ir rr be. All
our ancestors lor several hundred thousand years not
only believed in such "magic" devices but conducted
their affairs in accordance with what these devices told

feeling about detector rods but in die case of diat device,
diere is absolutely no question in my mind diat I am not
making diose rods swing for the simple reason diat the
response is so strong.
I can also make a self-supported, glass-enclosed
pendulum swing. I don't know why, although, as you
will see later, I do indeed have a hypothesis.
Observations of odier people operating pendulums of both sorts shows that about 8 0 % o f volunteer
subjects can make a hand-supported pendulum do something while about 5 0 % of people can make the selfsupported pendulum operate. I don't know why.

As in die experiments with die energy wheel in

film ot baby or bath oil ro change the electrical characteristics and dielectric constant of your skin. O r wash your
hands dioroughly and completely to remove as much
natural skin oil as possible.
Ifyou suspect that air currents from your breath,
someone else's breadi, or ambient air currents in tiie
room are die cause ol pendulum action, perform die
enclosed pendulum experiment by suspending the pendulum inside an inverted glass water tumbler. (Fig. > 3 )

should be compared widi those obtained when die
operator could see die pendulum.
97
Hypotheses:
As in tl ie case ot the energy wheel ot die previous
chapter, we need not invoke bizarre hypotheses involving undiscovered radiationsorwaves, Weateagaindealing
will i phenomena that can probably be explained reasonably well with the science and technology already known
to us.
As an important aside, however, ir is also likely,
however far less probable, tiiatdiere is indeed something
new and hidierto unsuspected involved in die operation
of the pendulum. I want to make it clear that I do nor
wish to sound dogmatic when I present hypotheses. Ir
could very well Ix; dial it all happens because it pleases
the Great God Bog as pan of his arcane if whimsical way
of running die Universe for his own amusement. But I
really doubt it. 1 could be wrong, o f course. O n e must
keep an open mind when dealing widi diese machines....
98
Pendulums
W h e n Occam's Razor is applied ro the handsupported pendulum, die simplest explanation is that
die operator is consciously or unconsciously affecting or
modulating die innate natural nervous tremor, die * noise'
in die human nervous system, possessed by everyone,
diereby causing the pendulum to swing.
However, there are other problems that are not
addressed or answered by this simplestand most stxait:litforward ol hypotheses. I low does the operator know die
answer: W h a t if the question doesn't involve an answer
widi a high content ol wishful thinking.7 W h a t ii die
pendulum taps the siiper-hyper-ultra-conscious or ev en
the subconscious? What if it's tapping "subconscious"
or "racial* memories.' If it is indeed doing these things,
it s doing them better, a lot faster, and far more positively
than any psychiarristoi psychologicahechni<|ue I 've ever
known.
Obviously, in spite of a simplistic hypothesis that
resists the curting edge o f Occam's Razor, there must be
soniediing more to die hand-held pendulum. 1 don't
know what it is. But it deserves more investigation.
With respect to die independently-suspended
pendulum, almost every freshman physics student is
aware ol the demonstration or experiment in which a
light object such as a bit o f paper or cork is attracted to
a rubber or glass rod which has been rubbed gently widi
silk or cat's fur. This is an exhibition o f electrification. I n

mind then, causes the electric charge on both palms to
reverse, in turn, causing lire pendulum to swing in the
other direction. T o cause the pendulum to suing toward
and away from the experimenter, the charge o n the heel
o f both hands must be die same while diat at both
fingertips the same.
It would not take a very strong change in electrostatic charge ofthe skin ofthe palms to cause die pendulum to swing.
I lere again, the physical factors can lie measured
ns in the energy wheel tests. Solid-state electronic measurement sensors exist that, will detect and determine the
electric field.
Bur, again, Ihis hypothesis Ixrgs theqitcstion...and
it is a most important question: How does the operator
know how to make the swinging pendulum answer tinquestion for which the operator has no conscious answer?
And, again, claiming that the pendulum niggers
racial memories or odier deep-seated psychological factors raises even more important questions diat basically
involve the elusive "how ': How can the simple pendulum accomplish this so easily when it requires hours,
weeks, or even mondis o f intense psychological dierapy.
treatment, or investigation to dig these dlings out otherwise!
101
Conclusions:
Here is a very simple mind machine whose operating principles appear to be both obscure and complex. But die hypodieses may only appear to be complex
because die operating mechanism is still totally unknown.
The device works and will indeed answer questions with
a reliability that lias been shown to be much better than
random chance.
It is also a device that lends itself to experimentation by amateurs. The instrumentation involved in
measuring the physical factors involved is not complex
or expensive. Furthemiore, the instrumentation is totally within die current state o f the art.
W e are perhaps confronting two separate phenomena widi the hand-supported pendulum and the
independently-supported pendulum. Bur. with the
present level of knowledge in this area, there did not
appear to be much to be gained by considering diem
separately.

Historical Background:
As noted above, diis device was first patented by
Dr. Hieronymous in 1949, which indicates that he had
been working on it for several years, perhaps as much as
a decade or more, prior to that date. There appears to be
no prior patented art utilizing his hypothesis o f ' eioptie
radiation.'
Full derails ot the Hieronymous machine were
published in Volume LVII Number 4, the June 1956
issue of Astounding Science Fiction magazine with an
illustrated science article written by the editor, John W .
Campbell, Jr.
Tliere have been no published articles in national or international magazines available to the general
public since dvat date. However, i V Hieronymous is a
founding member and a director of the United States
Psychotropics Association which nieers regularly to disc u s s a n t demonstrate devices such as the: lieronymous
machine ai id which publishes material on these devices.
Author's Experience:
T h e publication of die details of die Hieronymous
machine in Astounding Sci&\ct Fiction magazine in 1956

Experiments:
O n e o l the first experiments that should be carried out with the Hieronymous machine is to calibrate it.
It should exhibit adifferent dial leading for each dilferent
element in a sample. Therefore, obtain samples ot reasonably pure elements such as iron, aluminum, copper,
zinc, silver, gold, etc. Most iron items these days are
alloys ol two or more elements in addition to inn. Tile
same holds true of aluminum. Reasonably pure copper
is available in the form ol copper piping. Coins should
not be use*. I as calibration sources because today tl ey a re
often made of alloys rather than pure copper or silver. A
pieceot sterling silver tableware can be used, and 24-carar
gold jewelry will provide a good calibration point lor
gold.
Each material should exhibit the maximum tactile sensation at a given place on the dial. These should
be recorded lor future reference.

SYMBOLIC MACHINES
This chapter is a departure from the rigorous format ol
die previous chapters because the devices and experiments to be discussed here and in the remainder oi diebook are o f a somewhat different nature than die amazing mind machines discussed dins far.
Furthermore, it's necessary to break die continuity in order to present some background information
and describe some expei intents diat a re very unusual and
highly controversial but which tend to confirm some of
tile hypotheses diat follow.

doesn't make what we are to discuss any die less real.
Thus far. diis book has required an open mind
of die reader. Henceforth, it demands it. O n e of our
themes has been. "You don't have to believe or have
faith, butyou cannot simply snort 'impossible' and turn
away. You are challenged to test and draw conclusions
based on diat solid data radicr than from emotional
reactions based on what someone else may have told you
is true."

The other person (die experimenter) stands lacing the subject, places one arm on the subject's shoulder
and die other arm on top of die subject's extended arm
over the wrist.
T h e experimenter then pushes down on die
subject's arm ar the wrist. The subject must resist diis
force widi the muscles o f die arm. T h e experimenter
pushes down until his actions overcome the resisting

H i e amount of force exerted on the subject's arm
can be both controlled and measured by using an experimental device designed along the lines of a Nautilus
machine and instrumented with sensors which will
measure the exact forces involved. T h i s can and should
be done. It may be done only by amateur experimenters
because few if any professional medical researchers are
inclined to believe that this is a real experiment.

is called bodi a "critical experiment" as well as an "elegant experiment." If the design of die experiment is
done in such a way diat non-verbal but visual/auditorysignals can be ruled out as causative factors, dien it's
probably the best experiment yet devised to demonstrate
telepadiy. (Except die "back scratching test'" - i.e.. if
someone can alu/ays scratch your back exacdy where it
itches without being told, it's probably beniuse ol some
manner o f telepathy.)
However, I would be greatly surprised it telepathy
has anything to do with it. Occam's Razor must be
applied. There is probably a simpler explanation of
hypothesis tltan would be required iI the totally \ 1 nknown
factor of telepathy were postulated.
But I don't know what it
And 1 may be wrong in my honing of Occam's
Razor.
But three things are certain:
1. T h e spiral experiment is a diamaric demonstration ol the physical effect of pure symbols on die
muscle strength of the human body.
2. All these experiments show that d ie relationship between symbols and the human body is a factor.
The symbols and die sugar packet not held in close
relationship to tl lehuman body have no apparent effects,
even though they may be in plain view o f both subject
and experimenter during die conduct of the tests. T h e
symbols must be in intimate
body.

age and at great personal expense; many die re fore will
unconsciously oppose anything which remotely threatens their expertise arid/or position. They would prefer
to see scientific progress made slowly and carefully in
such a way diat it doesn't threaten diem, diat they can
adapt to it. and perhaps diat diey can be tenured or
retired before their expertise becomes obsolete.
But every great advance in mankind's knowledge
of the Universe has come about as the result oi a bold,
daring generalization.
T h e "daring generalization' here is that symbols
and their relationships have a definite physical effect
upon human beings.
The amazing mind machines that will now be
discussed are further examples thai tend to strengthen
die basic hypotheses stated earlier in ibis chapter.
What is different is that you don't haw 10 beiU'iV
in anything in order to get them to work, just as belief
played absolutely no role in the simple physical experi
ments described in this chapter. Belief apparently has
little or nothing to do with whether 01 not the devices
work or the experiments succeed.

Hypotheses:
Dr. T . Galen Hieronymous, die inventor ofthe
original Hieronymous machine, lias developed a hypothesis relating to die rationale for his device that invokes die concept of "el op DC radiation'' as discussed in
rhe previous chapter dealing widi the Hieronymous
machine.
The symbolic 1 lieronymous machine pretty well
demolishes the "eloptic radiation" hypothesis. No known
torm oi "radiation' and 110 aspect o f t h e Universe diat
we currently define as "radiation" could possibly be in-

popination.
163
Conclusions:
I sub mil that Dr. 1. Galen Hieronymous has
indeed discovered and put to use a totally new-to-us
principle o f t h e real Universe diat can and will, in time,
be thoroughly tested, defined, and proven as a dieory
and. eventually, as a new Universal law. Furthermore, I
submit rhat practically none o f t h e initial work will Lie
carried out b\ professional scientists as a professional
inquiry because 1 know very few professional scientists
- even those with very open minds - who could easily
afford ro undertake such investigations for fear of peer
pressures. It will be done by amateurs such as you and
I because there are no professionals in this new "proto
science'' vet.
Further conclusion: I don't know what this new
Universal thing is. and I don't dunk anyone else knows
either. But it's certainly goingro be challenging, dm, and
exciting to nnd out what s involved!

initiated in about 1946 by Colonel 1 lenry Gross (Yale,

Author's Experience:
I heard about this Wishing machine in a private
communication from John W . Campbell. Jr. dated June
12. 1956. Apparendy, Campbell's publication of the
article about die Hieronymous machine brought responses from a large number of people working on or
having had experience with other such machines. Since
this was such a simple device (like rhe symbolic
Hieronymous machine), 1 built one.

By now, you've realized that these ei^lir strange

the ' 'niverse, these machines shouldn't work. But they
do work demonstrably and repeatedly lor a significant
number of people. These devices are maddening because they work well and reliably foi some j v o ; le and
not lot other s. O n some days, they won't work at all even
lor adepts.
2. They can be built and operated successfully
using only written instructions without any personal
contact with rhe inventor or advocate.
5. They produce repearahle results with a large
enough percentage ol subjects dial die iactoroi random
chance cannot possibly Lie expected to aliect die results

My basic diesis in this book has been that we
don't know why diey do or don't do, what they do or
don't do, but diat diey do indeed do it. Therefore, we
should make a serious attempt to find out w hy.
And if that isn't the basic purpose oi legitimate
scientific inquiry, then what is?
Please note carefully diat I do not advocate any
particular religiousdoctrinc orcultot worship in connection with anyofrhese machines. Some religious cults and
"mental expansion sciences' may have adopted one of
them tor their purposes. Some readers may identify one
or more ol the strange machines herein as lx*ing the
favorite tools or toys of such groups. So what? Fins
doesn't mean that ii should not be investigated, particularly if it works. Divorced liom cult context, the critical
question remains: Does it workoi doesn't ii? And, if it
does, why?
I'm not selling the modern technological equivalent o f snake oil. F m merely trying to get these strange
machines out in the open where inquiring minds can
learn o f them. Pairh has absolutely nodiing whatsoever
to do widi die operation ol ar lyol die devices in this book.

except that these machines can be investigated by scientific protocols and explained in a lashion diat is not

reputation now. In fact, the possibility that I might do so
as a resultofthis bookhas been of concern :o me throughout its preparation.
This is why I reported only on strange machines
dvat 1 have personal experience in building a n d / o r operating. My formal academic science education continually reminds me that 1 should report publicly those pnenomena diat 1 have carefully observed and thereafter
bare myself to peer review and criticism. H i e problem is
that while diere are many scientists in the world, there
are few who have any experience in strange machines
and are therefore qualified Lo express opinions about
them. So I'm laying mysell wide open to criticism from
experts who aren't but who think they are.
O u r limited knowledge of ourselves and our
1 'niverse has grown over the past five centuries, hi die
eighteenth century, electricity and magnetism were mystical phenomena. In the past, tilings we accept today
were greeted with jeers and outright derision. In 1807,
T h o m a s Jefferson who was then President of the American Philosophical Society (the equivalent of today's
American Association lor the Advancement of Science)
reacted to a report o( a discovery o f a meteorite by two
Connecticut astronomers with die statement, '"l could
more easily believe that two Yankee professors would lie
than stones fall from heaven.'
Postscript
R C A engineer Harry Swartzburg stated, " T h e
validity o f a science is its ability to predict." Well, maybe
diese protosciences we're talking about aren't diat far
along yet. Bur they're getting diere. 1 can now write a
book describing some strange, unexplained machines so
you and diousands of others can build them and see for
yourself. That's a start. In fact, it's die first step in any
potentially new field oi science.
Scientific fields o f endeavor begin with such
unexplained phenomena as those we've discussed in
connection with strange machines. From the basic laws
ol motion (dynamics) to die most modern theories of
nuclear structure and cosmology, each advance began
with die actions of an individual whose curiosity was
piqued by a strange and perhaps even accidental or
fortuitous phenomenon. They also had the belief that a
reason for the phenomenon existed and could Lie learned.
Therefore, the reason(s) why these <trange devices aIVI others work can and will I >e < liscovercd. In the
piocess oi doing diis, new and unsuspected fields of
science and knowledge will lie uncovered.
Maybe this will be done by a reader of this book.
1 lowever, if I've piqued yourcuriosity and caused
you to investigate some of the amazing machines reported herein, dien I've done what 1 set out to do.
Bur, please, a few words ot warning to diose who
will enthusiastically undertake experiments with these
machines and others that they may come upon:
189

Don't write me enthusiastically about a machine
somebody else has invented that performs miracles unless
you yourself have built it, tested it. and confirmed die
results without personal contact widi the inventor.
Don't write to me about the wonderful machine

people, and that you've personally taught hundreds ol
