IT'S THE UNLIMITED NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUTER SPACE, STUPID!!!

Yul — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:48:04 GMT

Like I said before, IT'S THE UNLIMITED NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUTER SPACE, STUPID!!! If you are a regular American who wants to retain the high standard of living you're so used to, the best way to maintain it is to ACCESS THE UNLIMITED NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUTER SPACE, STUPID!!! Earth has limited resources. Accessing those resources here on this LIVING PLANET does damge to the environment on this LIVING PLANET. If you mined for reseources on the moon, which is a DEAD WORLD, you will not be disturbing the life there because the moon has no life. "But the moon hasn't been totally explored. There could life that hasn't been found yet." Yes, that's possible. But the preponderance of availbalbe evidence says there's no life on the moon. There also no evidence of life anywhere else in this solar system. So if you still want to maintain that high standard of living you love so much, you should support accessing THE UNLIMITED NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUTER SPACE, STUPID!!!

I'm of the mind that opposition to the space program is mostly based on the fact that space exploration is currently unpopular. So even though space exploration can provide the people of Earth with THE UNLIMITED NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUTER SPACE (STUPID!!!), many people will still oppose it. And I don't think I'll ever understand why so many people want to shoot themselves in the foot like that. For example, imagine that you are in some region on Earth where food is scarce and you're starving to death, and yet there is a vast supply of food across a small river. You say, "No! We should never cross that river until we solve all the problems on our side of the river. Once we've done that, then we'll cross the river." In other words, certain people hate space exploration so much, they don't want it to be used to SOLVE THE PROBLEMS ON EARTH. Ho ve! Ho ve forever!

What I'd like to see is a person or persons so persuasive and influential that they can popularize space travel. Then finally we won't end up running out of resources, remain trapped in this planet and drown in our own filth. IT'S THE UNLIMITED NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUTER SPACE, STUPID!!! Yup! IT'S THE UNLIMITED NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUTER SPACE, STUPID!!!

Also, here's a web comic I did on the subject:

What can be more crackpot than trying to promote the metric system in the U.S.?

Yul — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 21:09:42 GMT

Perhaps there are things more crackpot than trying to promote the metric system in the U.S. But promoting metric use in the States is still a very crackpot notion. Anyway, I'm working on a web comic I call "Good Measures." It's about an organization whose purpose is to effecitvely promote metric use in America. Here's where to find a preview:

The best solution to the nuclear waste problem

Yul — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:53:44 GMT

In medieval times, alchemists dreamed of "transmuting" lead into gold. They never achieved that dream, but it may someday be possible to change the high-level nuclear waste produced by nuclear power plants into much more manageable wastes. Under the U.S. Accelerator Transmutation of Waste Program, Los Alamos and other Department of Energy laboratories are studying and developing accelerator-driven technologies that can transmute such waste into more benign, stable waste forms.

About 95 percent of reactor waste is uranium that by itself does not require long-term, permanent storage. The rest is plutonium and other transuranics (minor actinides) and highly radioactive fission products. The transuranics and fission products are far more hazardous than uranium.

Los Alamos has been studying ATW technology options for a decade. While many potential designs for an ATW system have been examined, the main technical components remain the same: a high-power proton linear accelerator, pyrochemical spent fuel treatment/waste cleanup system and subcritical waste burner that's based largely on existing nuclear technology.

The U.S. nuclear power industry will generate approximately 70,000 tons of high-level nuclear waste by 2015, including about 550 tons of plutonium. ATW potentially can reduce the amount of waste requiring permanent storage to less than 3,000 tons, including less than 1 ton of plutonium. In addition, these wastes would require a few centuries of isolation instead of 10,000 years.

ATW begins with a spent fuel treatment center, where the uranium and short-lived fission products that do not need to be transmuted are separated from the rest of the waste. These short-lived fission products are prepared for disposal, while the uranium can be recycled for reuse or prepared for disposal. The remaining transuranics (plutonium, neptunium, americium and curium) are transferred to the waste burner, where they are fissioned into materials that pose mostly short-lived hazards. Because these transuranics have some undesirable fuel characteristics, the fission process is controlled using neutrons produced by the accelerator's proton beam as it strikes a spallation target. The long-lived fission products capture neutrons and are converted into stable, nonhazardous materials. A linear accelerator based upon the one at Los Alamos - the most powerful of its kind in the world -- conceivably could drive several subcritical burners at once.

Because plutonium releases energy as it is destroyed by fission in the waste burner, the process can power itself. Only a fraction of the energy is needed to supply the ATW system; the rest can be sold to power companies, offsetting ATW development and construction costs. Perhaps most important, destroying the weapons-grade plutonium enhances nonproliferation efforts.

Los Alamos, in collaboration with eight other DOE laboratories, recently developed a five-year "road map" (reference number DOE/RW-0519) for ATW research and development, which includes examining all available technology development options; developing a prototype test facility; and demonstrating key aspects of the technologies. Los Alamos plans to conduct some of those demonstrations. Researchers are working on designs that would lower the cost of such a system, which is one of the major hurdles that must be overcome. While an ATW facility may be years away, its potential for solving a worldwide environmental dilemma is undeniable.

Protection from EMP

Yul — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 16:48:10 GMT

Maryland Representative Roscoe Bartlett recently repeated his warnings of the threat of EMP attack. That reminder has reminded me again about what may be needed to protect against EMP. Of course the first thing that comes to mind for me on this is that micro electronics that can survive EMP must be perfected. Needless to say, that's not practical at this point in time. That said, what would it take to create micro electronics that can survive EMP?

Talkin' 'bout regernation!

Yul — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 13:28:11 GMT

The recent news of the regenerated bladder achievement has gotten me to think of something I briefly considered when the Terry Schaivo hoopla was going on: What if it were possible to regenerate Terry Schaivo's destroyed cerebral cortex? Of course it may be decades before regenrating cerebral matter can actually be done, but if it were possible now, Terry Schaivo might actually have been cured of her disability. At the same time, we have to remember that her previous knowledge and memories won't likely be retained within her new cerebral cortex. Thus, she'd have to gain new knowledge and memories. But then the question of the moment is would Terry Schaivo's new knowlwdge and memeories mean that she'd be a different person? Perhaps so. But since there'd be no way to get the old Terry Schaivo back, we might as well take what we can get.

One of my top ten if not my favorite

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 16:48:34 GMT

Leonardo Da Vinci 1452 - 1519 was the true Renaissance man. Inventor, Artist, Engineer,ect. He was considered the greatest mind of an age of great minds. A man well ahead of his time in so many ways. Leonardo is now getting another breath of air in the popular book "The Da Vinci Code" to the dismay of the Catholic Church. I highly recommend investigating his earlier life with all of it's innovations, intrigue & follies before reading the book mentioned above. You won't be disappointed.

Time travel theories

Yul — Wed, 16 Feb 2005 23:29:57 GMT

Time travel -- as in traveling backward through time -- is obviously something that may at the very least be next-to-impossible. Of course they said the same thing about heaviler-than-air flight, so whatever. Anyway, I'm curious as to how many time travel theories are out there. I think I know of at least a dozen. I'd like to know about the ones I'm unfamiliar with.

solar chimneys

greenman-23 — Thu, 14 Oct 2004 10:15:24 GMT

i posted this thread in sustainable practices and thought here might be a good place too......

means to mitigate global warming....

The power generation aspect is understood and I hope to expand on some ideas on amplifying the chimney effect to improve efficiency but for now am keen to create some debate on the potential use of chimneys to negate the effects of global warming. Global warming and it's consequences are perhps the greatest threat to achieving sustainability.

Ths of you that are familiar with this technology will know that chimneys work by heatig air below a flue (usually with the aid of a large convex mirror) with the sun. The warm air rises up into the chimney and as it does so it expands and accelerates until a speed is reached which is sufficient to dirve a turbine placed at the top. There are some very novel methods to potentially improve the efficiency of this system but it also has several other possible uses.

We have a serious heat problem from rising CO2 levels and as it is unlikely that we can mitigate this CO2 we must find a way of reducing the heat... in a greenhouse this is achieved by painting the glass white. Whilst we cannot paint our atmosphere we can and have been for sometime successfully ofsetting the greenhouse effect through particulate pollution... dust etc in the atmosphere reflecting solar radiation back into space. Reduction in this air polution will increase the effects of global warming whilst increasing it could off set the effects. Consequently One such use of solar chinmeys is to use the updraft to place reflective material into our atmosphere....to paint it white.............

any thoughts?

Not Hungry

Shmendrickalidocious — Mon, 29 Mar 2004 23:44:34 GMT

Not hungry is more than an implant, it's a new organ, and symbosis with many creatures who make up it's matrix.

Imagine all of your wastes, they get recycled by organisms in the environment, your excrement can fertilze a crop, which in turn restores the nutrition locked in the feces into a form of nutrients your body could digest safely, like a fresh grown tomato fertilized by the dung.

Well why have that process go on in such a complicated way ourside our bodies when it could be so much simpler.

Not Hungry attaches to the digestive tract and bladder, it fits on the back like a back pack. There the wastes go into a maze of miles of tubes bending around like small intestines, only finer. In these are colonies of various genetically engineered bacterium, algae, protazoa, fungi and other specialized organisms break down wastes to literally their simplest carbon forms and then re-structure them into nutrients, amino acids, essential proteins, sugars and re-releases these nutrients back directly into the blood stream.

Because of this, "not Hungry" can cause a human to survive nearly a year without any food at all, for it recycles carefully every nutrient and substance in the body. It is an ecosystem on your back with a complete nutrient cycle.

Ideal for long years of space travel, "not hungry" will ensure that in a long journey to our nearest star spaceships don't need to have huge hydroponic farms, sewage recylers, or tons of canned food. Now, with merely a fraction of the food, the journey is going to work out just fine.

Not Hungry has been issued to over 1 billion poor, by the un organization CARE. As a result, food is now more abundant but less needed, less expensive too.

Work is being done on a smaller Internal version of "not Hungry" which will actually replace the Kidneys and intestines altogether as a surgical implant. This is still in the experimental stage but animal test subjects are already successfully living with the implants and are showing excellent health.

Call our number for financing options on your new Not Hungry, for half the price of what you spend on groceries per week, you can now actually save money and own the pack that never fails to make you say: "Nah, I'm not hungry"

Shmendrickalidocious — Sun, 21 Mar 2004 13:34:14 GMT

I have been fascinated. I used to read translastions of Pravda in the late 1980's in my college library. Communism was still in place then, but free speech was opening up. It seemed to be a refreshing publication.

Looking for a fresh perspective, I decided to read Pravda again online for the first time since that decade.

I was amazed by the fact that their science section was paired with culture, that it didn't even have a section.

But you'll love it for source material. It reads identical to a tabloid regarding the "science" they do report. For instance they go into scientific explainations for the miraculous healing powers of one specific dogs' hair. They have an entire section devoted to UFO's. There is one that claims the FBI and CIA are fighting to control a time tunnel so they can send investigators through.

I laughed hard, luckily not hard enough that I could make it to the toilet and not piss myself. It goes on and on.

Perfect example http://newsfromrussia.com/science/2004/02/24/52469.html

Now, I've looked through GEO's archives (understand just enough German to navigate and found no such article). They claim that the the magazine issued the article February 24, I went through their archives and read about kelp beds, Orang-utans, evolutionary biology, flowers... but nothing resembling the article Pravda is referring to (would have been nice if they at least had a link to their source, I had to hunt for it)

But I'll let anyone else who reads German see if they can find it "http://www.geo.de/"

You will notice with this and other articles they will say "scientists say..." or "scientiests claim" without saying who the scientists even are. Failing that, not even the government or corperate entity the scientists making the discovery were working on behalf of. It could be a lousy translator, I can't read in Russian so perhaps the russian site has the same articles written well and that the translator didn't possess enough vocabulary to get the idea across. You'd think that a island of Garbage, as large as central europe just MIGHT weigh a bit more than a mere three million tons. Unless the Pacific ocean depth in the middle of the sea between Hawaii and California has a region as large as central Europe that is only a few inches deep to begin with. So far most navigation maps would indicate something deeper.

Also to say that the amount of Plankton in the ocean only weighs one sixth of the three million ton pile of Garbage, well that would mean that very soon whales are going to be facing extiction very soon. The amount of plankton in a fifty mile area probably exceeds that.

Pravda didn't provide a photograph of the island, just a computer created stock photo meant to resemble an island. You'd think that if an island of garbage formed the size of central europe that we'd at least have one of the scientists taking a picture, the German Magazine they claimed as a source would probably make it into a headline. Also, Democrats would not pass up the opportunity to blame the president's environmental policies for the garbage island.

Hmmm, but still, gives me an idea. Perhaps... yeah, Perhaps I can import enough sand to create a small layer of soil over the Garbage and I can drop off some mobile homes and make it into a real vacation getaway for "Trailer Trash". "No, honey, we don't pick up the garbage from the beach, the garbage is the beach, step around that hypoderic needle love, aw sheez will you watch your brother he's tangled up in a plastic six pack holder again... No, just throw it to the seagulls, if one gets caught we'll have dinner tonight not that your bastard father has couldn't sent me enough child supports for you brats to buy you a can of cheeze whiz."

Hmmm, sounds like a good real estate possibility, being a trailer trash community it might even attract as many bad mullets as the movie waterworld.

This is a wonderfull article which has really been turning my wheels. I got it from our own neural-d's tribe "psi-trance".

Schumann waves, weather and mind control
by Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf

The year 1998 just began - surely a crucial year briefly before the turn of the century. In this time naturally once more all kinds of end time prophecies have boom, to which we want to take position in this article too.

Now it is well known that we don't work as prophets, but some important trends are already to be seen, so that one may talk about them founded. The most important of these trends surely is that mankind is in the transition from the age of matter to the age of frequencies.

What does this mean? First of all, still in the classical-materialistic sense, the transition to a globalized communication society. World-wide telephone, fax and computer networks or the Internet are indicators. Particularly the Internet is not explainable completely in terms of technics anymore, and that is something fundamentally new, but it concerns an immaterial self-organizing structure in the sense of chaos theory.

Also in the realm of medicine frequency methods intersperse themselves more and more. Soft ultrasonic operations are refined by exotic techniques like the use of "acoustic mirrors", whereby an accurate detection for example of kidney stones is made possible by reflection and resonance methods.

But if we speak of a transition to the frequency age, we mean more by far. The ability of humans to perceive goes through a crucial change at present. More and more humans are able to notice fine-material energy fields and thus take up contact to other levels of our existence. To these surely belong mental dimensions and, in addition, invisible intelligences like the elves from our fairy tales and legends, possibly even more bizarre encounters with extraterrestial intelligences, which were classified for long time under the somewhat misleading term of "UFO abductions".

In the broadest sense to this extended perception also belong the "Remote Viewing" techniques, a form of controlled extrasensory perception, which were developed by American military in the seventies under the pseudonym "Project stargate". It shows up that these remote viewing protocols - in the meantime published to a large extent - not only make possible the investigation of far objects, but also opens a gate to hidden realities in our "here and now", which we could prove by own experiments:

With the same methods, human consciousness may move freely not only in space, but also in time. By our experiments we found that it is thereby even possible for humans to explore own earlier incarnations and to exceed the limits of personal perception - also in cosmic dimensions!

Therefore, in place of the too narrow seized term "Remote Viewing" we defined the new term "Refined Perception". It contains thereby not only a form of "seeing", but also other senses like feeling, radiesthetic phenomena like dowsing, and above all in addition, the perception with help of the human energy field, the aura.

Newest scientific research resulted in that humans can get into resonance with the earth and with other organisms via their different body-own electromagnetic fields. In this article thereby the electromagnetic waves produced by the human brain are our main field of interest.

The investigation of the earth resonance frequencies and/or the so-called Schumann waves is the key for the new scientific realizations. These are also well known in esoteric circles, however usually presented physically inkorrect.

Nevertheless Schumann waves will become already now increasingly important for all of us. These natural "magic chant" of the earth has a broad influence on our world climate, in addition, on the evolution of human consciousness, and they are for a long time subject of doubtful military technologies. Already the discovery of these waves became a science crime story of first order. About this we write in our book "Zaubergesang" ("magic chant"):

»For a long time we already know that the electrically positively loaded ionosphere forms a pole to the negatively charged earth's surface, and that between both constantly an electrical tension prevails. This tension unloads itself regularly, whenever on earth a thunderstorm takes place somewhere. Such a system of two concentric, opposite electrically charged balls in physics is called a ball condenser.

These physical characteristics of the ionosphere is used technically in the wireless information transfer. For radio waves, which are emitted from a transmitter on earth, the ionosphere works like an enormous hollow mirror. From this the radio waves will be reflected and in such a way transferred over large distances.

Everyone who tried once to hear a far radio station with a medium wave knows the effect that the receipt becomes clearly better after sunset. The reason is that the breakdown effects by the sun exposure to the ionosphere are then omitted.

These physical facts were described for the first time at the beginning of our century by the Croatian physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla, which accomplished at this time experiments for wireless transfer of energy at Colorado Springs.

Tesla produced at that time enormous electrical tensions of several for hundredthousand volts with his experimental assemblies, with which he could produce even artificial lightnings. He found out the fact that with every such lightning also radio waves of extremely low frequency are radiated, which can penetrate through and into the earth almost without resistance. Thus he had discovered the electromagnetic resonance frequency of the earth.

Teslas work encountered at that time little approval, and because the economic use was not immediately foreseeable, also his backers withdrew themselves rapidly, so that he could not terminate his research work. Thus it took nearly a half century, until someone other encountered this effect - again more or less by coincidence.

It was in the year 1952. The German physicist Professor Dr. W. O. Schumann of the Technical University of Munich wanted to give his student exercises to the physics of electricity. Just at that time he worked with them on the computation of ball condensers. In order not to let it become too theoretical and abstract, Professor Schumann said to his students: >Imagine the ionosphere as the one ball and the earth's surface as the other ball. Calculate then, what will be the results.<

Schumann had no idea, which value would result from this, and to be able to examine his students' work, himself took a pencil and a sheet of paper and made a rough calculation. He found a value of approximately 10 Hz.

Again to the illustration: This value is the resonance frequency of the earth, thus the frequency, with which the earth begins to swing. Each energy discharge between ionosphere and earth's surface, thus each normal thunderbolt, produces radio waves of such a frequency, which are resonancable with the earth as by-product. They cannot therefore only penetrate into the earth, but at the same time accumulate whereby it comes to the formation of enormous standing waves, which may remain stable over long time.

Schumann himself at that time in no way knew about the consequences of his discovery. Nevertheless he published the result in a physical technical periodical.

After that, the Schumann frequency, as it is called today in honours of ist discoverer, would probably land in the waste-paper basket of science history, but a physically interested physician coincidentally read the paper. He called to Schumann immediately, because for him - the physician - the hair stood to mountains, when he saw, what he read there. The Schumann frequency is also a resonance frequency of the human brain!

Measurements of the brain waves of humans with a, electrical encephalograph show that the brain produces electromagnetic waves, which lie in the range between 1 and 40 Hz. This spectrum is in medicine divided into four ranges, which accompany with different consciousness conditions:

1. Delta waves (1-3 Hz) are characteristic for dreamless deep sleep and koma conditions.

2. Theta waves (4-7 Hz) are characteristic for the dream sleep.

3. Alpha waves (8-12 Hz) arise in the relaxed awake condition, e. g. in a meditation or briefly before falling asleep and/or immediately after awaking.

4. Beta waves (13-40 Hz) are dominant in the normal awake condition.

The physician explained to Schumann that it was nevertheless a strange coincidence that earth and brain have homogeneous resonance frequencies, and so Schumann instructed his graduate student and later successor on its chair, Herbert K önig, to further investigate this.

K önig, who got also well known from his scientific investigations about the dowsing phenomenon some years ago, accomplished now in the context of his doctor work extensive measurements of the earth resonance frequency and thereby naturally came to a more exact value than Schumann during his rough calculation. The accurate value of the Schumann frequency is 7,83 Hz.

Thus it is finally clear that the agreement with the human brain frequencies is not coincidental, because this value corresponds accurately to the fundamental brain frequency of most mammals. For humans it lies scarcely at the lower limit of the alpha range, thus at the border between sleep and being awake. Is this the reason that animals have a less evolved consciousness comparing with man? Are they only at the threshold of higher consciousness?

The agreement between earth and brain frequency is indeed no coincidence, because animals and humans are children of the earth and their brain frequencies adapted quite easily to the natural conditions of their habitat in the process of the evolution. Quite similar result also Miloslaw Wilk found out when he investigated the power spectra of the earth and humans.

It is well known in science that the brain reacts on electromagnetic frequencies which are>offered< to it from the outside if they are in the correct frequency range. This is a typical resonance effect. On this principle many of the >mind machines< are based, which should be helpful to achieve a relaxed, meditative condition, thus the alpha condition, where the calm waves of 8-12 Hz dominate and the restless thought activities of the normal beta condition stop. «

We hold: Via Schumann waves all humans are in resonance to the earth, since the fundamental brain frequencies go conformal with the earth resonance frequency. This makes it possible for humans to go into direct contact to the earth with their consciousness and to pick up information outside of their five senses, if they are modulated for example on such a Schumann wave.

And here the danger starts, that with help of technically manipulated Schumann waves an inaudible and invisible influence of mankind will be possible, or already is, in order to manipulate the emotional conditions or the state of health of whole populations, or in order to feed suggestions quite directly into the brains of humans. Such a technology is not based on Science fiction, but already exists, in form of the HAARP project in Alaska. We reported about it in our Karmakurier magazine in December 1996 and March 1997. We wrote at that time that this project will go into full operation in the year 1998.

Also the effects of the Schumann waves based technology on the weather was long time negotiated, but in the course of our research for our book "Zaubergesang" we found the necessary proofs. In an American patent specification from the year 1987, which became the basis of the HAARP antennas, the possibility of such a weather manipulation is expressly mentioned. We can't deal further in the context of this article with the facts, which are more comprehensively examined in the book. Instead we want to turn to the current results with the study of the Schumann frequencies. Here in many publications, particularly from the spiritual range, many facts are misunderstood.

What we mean: The present developments in the climatic area, in addition, increasing tendencies of global thought and mind control, arouse the impression in many people that a kind of "end time" started now, as they are predicted in many old prophecies of the holy writings of mankind. This is the first fundamental misunderstanding, which is based on the fact that usually the old prophecies are interpreted only too superficial. We will refer to this in detail in a separate article.

In other publications the true statement is seen correct e.g. from the John's revealing in the Bible that it concerns a transformation process of mankind and the earth. For this the Schumann frequency is then usually referred. It is written then, that this frequency at present would increase and would reach rather soon values of 13 Hz, whereby human consciousness would be waked up.

We asked concerning this the at present world-wide best experts in the area of the Schumann frequency, thus for example Professor Dr. Davis Sentman (University of Fairbanks, Alaska), Dr. Earle Williams (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Dr. Gabriella S átori (Academy of Science, Sopron, Hungary).

The statements of these scientists to some extent were surprising. They partly knew even about it, which rumors circulate over the Schumann frequency at present within the esoteric range. They explained that these statements were not explainable by scientific facts. However - and the large "however" comes now - they confirmed us too that the Schumann waves actually go through a change process at present. Also for this we would like to quote a passage from our book "Zaubergesang":

»First of all after newer research results one can't talk any longer only about "the" Schumann frequency, because there are several of them.

The earth is not only resonancable to only one frequency, thus a bare tone, but actually sings a charm singing with several voices.

Already for approximately thirty years it is well-known to science that with thunderstorms apart from the elementary Schumann frequency by 7,83 Hz further resonant vibrations are actually produced. Until today at least eight such frequencies could be identified, The rounded off frequencies are 8, 14, 20, 26, 33, 39, 44 and 50 Hz.

Not only the first Schumann frequency lies in a range, to which the human brain is sensitive, but this applies at least to the first six ones.

Thus humans are not thus only bombarded with >sleep inducing< Theta waves of 7,83 Hz, but at the same time also with additional waves, which lie all together in the beta wave band, which are considered as characteristic to the awake condition.

Now the lowest, classical 7,83 Hz frequency is without any doubt the most intensive. But the higher form a spectrum of different oscillations, to which the brain is all together sensitive. The Schumann frequency spectrum (s. fig. P. 7) is remarkably similar to that of the human brain, because similarly in EEG measurements the alpha and theta frequencies are characterized by far, high excursions, while the beta waves are flat and jerky.

Thus the Schumann waves as a whole tend rather to calm down and wake up the human brain at the same time.

The result might be a condition of brain synchronisation, which is momentarily still with difficulty conceivable for us. Newest results of the brain research show that the old conception was too naive that the brain reconstructs offered frequencies simply from the outside, and does not describe the real procedures.

Instead the brain reacts to outside energies and oscillations, to which it is sensitive, with an extensive reorganisation of its internal circuits. This leads - similarly as the decrease of the magnetic field - for a moment to a chaotic, stress-promoting unrest effect. Then however the brain is inclined to organize itself on a higher oscillation level again. It achieves a higher consciousness condition, which is not explainable from the sum of the two single conditions.

This condition cannot only be described lapidary as >brain synchronisation<, how it is reached by meditation techniques like the tables of Chartres or certain tape cartridges. This higher consciousness condition is somewhat much more powerful. Perhaps one can describe it best as a condition, in which humans are awake and asleep at the same time, and the normal daily consciousness with the ability for critical, free decision and the immeasurable possibilities of the subconsciousness are available at the same time.

In this condition human consciousness transcends the fourth dimension - man becomes the master of time.

There is - at least in our culture - at present only one consciousness condition, in which this is realized. It concerns the so-called lucid dream.

Normally awake consciousness is more or less switched off during a usual dream, what is also recognizable by the fact it that in the dream condition the theta and alpha waves dominate. Men are therefore predominantly passive in their dreams and let the dream action evolve itself.

Criticism ability is to a large extent suppressed, so that also the bizarre realities, which one meets usually in dreams, are not noticed during the dream.

This essentially corresponds to the consciousness condition of >dream time<, in former times, in which humans were more or less delivered to external influences also in their daily life and were able only to react. They could nevertheless survive - similarly as the animals -, since they were integrated part of the total structure of nature. Quite simply the consciousness of the free will was missing to them, which could enable them to revolt.

In daily consciousness against it our rational understanding dominates, which lets us meet critical and self-conscious decisions. On the other hand the immeasurable creative forces of the unconscious are now in the background - forces, which permit us to create whole realities in our dreams. Also this limits our scope of action, because our awake understanding is not able to seize and control nature in their entireness. Our rational understanding is inclined to define itself and so the wisdom of the unconscious, the feeling of belonging to a larger entireness is missing.

In the condition of the lucid dream these two contrasts are bridged. One become conscious during the dream of the fact that he dreams, and so on one hand knows that the reality, which he experiences, was created totally by himself. The creative forces of the unconscious are fully at his disposal. On the other hand also his critical understanding is active, so that his ability to self-conscious acting is available too.

In lucid dreams humans may change the dream action therefore by the power of their thoughts according to own desires. Thereby abilities are at the disposal which one could call >magic<.

These are not spiritual speculations, but secured research results of the modern psychology. Lucid dreams have been investigated intensively for years, for example by the important lucid dream pioneers Professor Dr. Paul Tholey of the University of Frankfurt/Main and by Dr. Stephen LaBerge of the Stanford University in California.

Lucid dreams arise for many people occasionally and spontaneously. Usually the people are surprised then, so that they do not know to do anything with this, but are only confused. But one can learn lucid dreaming systematically, as we ourselves could prove in our lucid dream intensive courses again and again.

What would happen, if humans would experience this consciousness condition by day, if thus, apart from normal awake consciousness, also the creative strength of the unconscious were fully available? One can only speculate upon this fantastic possibility. Would it be then possible for us, with the strength of our thoughts, to influence our environment consciously to affect - so to have by day abilities which one would have called some centuries ago still >magic<?...

It is momentarily however difficult to make really reliable statements about the long-term development of the terrestrial >magic chant< since for this simply the long-term measurements are missing. In the past decades the science only sporadically worked on this topic, while systematic investigations exist only for some years.

We nevertheless know that the earth turns the charm singing slowly louder, that means, the intensity of the Schumann waves constantly increased and that humans are exposed at the same time thereby in natural way to waves from the theta and beta range.

But there is still another trend, which is recognizable from newest research results and which still strengthen consciousness-changing effect of the Schumann waves.

The Nagycenk observatory in the Hungarian city Sopron is an institution, which belongs to the geophysical institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. There the geophysicist Gabriella S átori with their colleagues investigates the development of the Schumann frequencies for some years intensively.

The Hungarian scientists came thereby to the remarkable result that not only the intensity of these waves, but the frequencies themselves are subject to substantial fluctuations, which are likewise controlled by the warming of earth.

Thus the lowest Schumann frequency is not today already any longer with those 7.83 Hz, which measured Herbert K önig in the fifties, but over far distances of the year already in the proximity of the >magical< border of 8 Hz, sometimes even higher.

We called this border >magical<, because it represents exactly the transition from the theta to the alpha frequencies. Only in such moments it be will possible to let the consciousness-extending effect of the Schumann resonance spectrum as a whole become fully effectively because the sleep-inducing, i.e. consciousness-clouding effect of the theta waves is void.

The highest frequency values occur thereby in the summer months (of the Northern Hemisphere), while they drop down again in winter.

The trend is still confirmed by investigations of the second and third Schumann resonance frequencies. Here the seasonal fluctuations are to be observed even more strongly. They move between 13,8 and 14,1 Hz resp. between 19,5 and 20,3 Hz.

What does this mean for our consciousness? Research over unusual consciousness conditions, as for instance the psychologist documents Michael Murphy performed, points out that for example shamans or Indian fakirs reach the most pronounced metanormal abilities in conditions, which one cannot describe with the usual term >trance<, what we mostly understand as a sleep-similar condition of lowered consciousness. Rather it concerns a feeling of increased awakeness, thus a condition of the excitation or ekstase, that is characterized in the EEG rather by the higher beta frequencies above 20 Hz.

If due to the climatic changes on earth the natural spectrum of the Schumann waves would thus expose us on the one hand a constantly with intensifying alpha frequency, on the other hand however a likewise ever more intensively becoming beta wave spectrum, which is appropriate to a large extent above 20 Hz, then this would mean that we are all going towards a condition of increased awakeness. This is strengthened still, as we see, by the continuous decrease of the earth's magnetic field.

If we see however these effects as a whole, then we will feel this consciousness condition no longer as stress or will become sick. The reassuring alpha waves take care about this, which have the largest intensity in the Schumann wave spectrum. It might be very more balanced rather, positive consciousness condition.

Since it does not concern however a pure alpha condition, we will not be in danger of increased manipulation. «

Everything points thus on that regardless of all global dangers mankind steers on a new age of higher consciousness, not from own drive, but steered by the "charm singing" of the earth. Did the old prophecies be wrong? In the opposite - we will see that in 2000 years old writings this development was already foreseen accurately!
