+ | |||
+ | ---Simoneton found that the **normal healthy person gives off a wavelengt | ||
+ | radiance of about 6,500**. Bovis and Simoneton' | ||
+ | vegetables, nuts, and fresh fish that give off radiations higher than their | ||
+ | own normal 6,500, if they wish to energize themselves and feel healthy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Myrna I. Lewis, taken by | ||
+ | the Soviets on a visit to several sanitariums in the Black Sea city of Sochi | ||
+ | to find aging Soviet citizens, afRicted with a variety of ills, both physical | ||
+ | and mental, **being treated not with drugs but with vibrations from | ||
+ | flowers in greenhouses** where they were led to smell specific blooms so | ||
+ | many minutes a day. They were also being treated with music played | ||
+ | in their rooms and the sound of the sea recorded on tapes. pg 308 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---During his months in Wales, Bach felt his senses quickening, becoming more developed. Through a finely developed sense of touch he was | ||
+ | able to feel the vibrations and power emitted by any plant he wished | ||
+ | to test. Like Paracelsus, if he held a petal or bloom in the palm of his | ||
+ | hand or placed it on his tongue he could feel in his body the effects of | ||
+ | the properties within that plant. Some had a strengthening, | ||
+ | effect on his mind and body; others would give him pain, vomiting, | ||
+ | fevers, rashes, and the like. His instinct told him that the best plants would be found blooming in the middl,e of the year, when the days are | ||
+ | longest and the sun at the height of its power and strength. pg 309-310 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Though many of the flowers did not contain the healing properties | ||
+ | he sought, Bach found the dew from each plant held a definite power | ||
+ | of some kind, and deduced that the sun's radiation was essential to the | ||
+ | process of extraction. As collecting sufficient dew from individual flowers | ||
+ | could be laborious he decided to pick a few blooms from a chosen plant | ||
+ | and place them in a glass bowl filled with water from a clear stream, | ||
+ | leaving them standing in the field in the sunlight for several hours. To | ||
+ | his delight he found that the water became impregnated with the | ||
+ | vibrations and power of the plant and was very potent. To potentlize his | ||
+ | water Bach would choose a summer day with no clouds to obscure the | ||
+ | sun's light and heat. Taking three small plain glass bowls filled with fresh | ||
+ | water, he set them in a field where the flowering plants were growing, | ||
+ | then selected the most perfect blossoms and placed them on the surface | ||
+ | of the water.** To lift the blooms from the water without touching the | ||
+ | fuid with his fingers he used two blades of grass.** The water was then | ||
+ | transferred by means of a small lipped phial to bottles. When half-full | ||
+ | the rest of the bottle was filled with brandy designed to preserve the | ||
+ | mixture. Before the next experiment Bach would destroy both bowls and | ||
+ | phials. pg 310-311 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---blindfolded ruddy-cheeked Scotsman, Alick McInnes, can** put his hand over a ripe | ||
+ | bloom and tell from the wavelength of its radiation** just what plant it | ||
+ | is and what its medical properties may be. In India, where he spent | ||
+ | thirty years working for the British Raj, Mcinnes got his first introduction to the fact that plants not only give off radiations which are sensible | ||
+ | to humans, but are themselves sensitive to the radiations given off by | ||
+ | humans; this he discovered when he visited the Bose Institute near | ||
+ | Calcutta. pg 312 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---By the entrance to the Institute stands a luxuriant Mimosa pudica. | ||
+ | Visitors are requested to pick a small frond from this compliant horticultural guinea pig and place it in one of Bose's complicated machines, | ||
+ | which provides a schematic pattern of the vibrations of the plant on a | ||
+ | sheet of paper. A visitor is then asked to place his wrist inside the | ||
+ | machine and watch as a duplicate of the pattern is produced, demonstrating that mimosa is so sensitive it can pick up and faultlessly reflect | ||
+ | individual human radiations. pg 312 [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Mcinnes: Each flower species has a time when its | ||
+ | radiations can best be transferred to water, usually, though not always, | ||
+ | when the Howers are at the peak of their maturity, which is also usually | ||
+ | near a full moon. | ||
+ | Potencies, as Mcinnes calls the **radiations which are transferred to | ||
+ | water** can be taken from the rose around midsummer, or June 21, and | ||
+ | from the dandelion around the Easter full moon. When conditions are | ||
+ | right, transfer of the radiations is instantaneous, | ||
+ | seen to change, "an awe~inspiring experience never to be forgotten," | ||

+ | ==== Radionic Pesticides ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | --- T. Galen Hieronymus suspected that the unknown energy emitted from metals | ||
+ | might be somehow linked to sunlight; since it could be transmitted over | ||
+ | wires, it might have an effect on the growth of plants. | ||
+ | To find out, Hieronymus placed **some aluminum-lined boxes in the | ||
+ | pitch-dark cellar of his Kansas City house**. Some boxes he grounded to | ||
+ | a water pipe and connected by separate copper wires to metal plates on | ||
+ | the outside of the house exposed to full sunlight. Other boxes were left | ||
+ | unconnected. In all of them Hieronymus planted seed grain. In the | ||
+ | connected boxes the seeds grew into sturdy green plants. The seeds in the unconnected boxes had no trace of green and were anemic and | ||
+ | drooping. | ||
+ | This brought Hieronymus to the revolutionary conclusion that whatever caused the development of chlorophyll in plants could not be | ||
+ | sunlight itself but something associated with it, which, unlike light, was | ||
+ | transmittable over wires. He had no idea at what frequency this energy | ||
+ | might be located on the electromagnetic spectrum, or even if it was | ||
+ | related to it. //more on hieronymus:// | ||
