    Modern Alchemy: The Money Illusion

    While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to control the ugly fact that by an iniquitous moneysystem, we havenationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel thanthe old system of chattel slavery.

    Horace Greeley

    Have you ever wondered why the vast majority of hard working people on this planet does not make

    enough earnings to have a reasonable standard of living without being in debt? Our personal debt is

    modern version of slavery*.

    * Slavery is a system under which people are treated as property to be bought and sold, and are forced to

    work. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived

    of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation. Historically, slavery was

    institutionally recognized by many societies; in more recent times slavery has been outlawed in most

    societies but continues through the practices of debt bondage, indentured servitude, serfdom, domestic

    servants kept in captivity, certain adoptions in which children are forced to work as slaves, child soldiers,

    and forced marriage. [ Wikipedia ]

    For the first time in U.S. history, banks own a greater share of residential housing net worth in theUnited States than all individual Americans put together.

    In 1950, the ratio of the average executives paycheck to the average workers paycheck was about30 to 1. Since the year 2000, that ratio has exploded to between 300 to 500 to one.

    Some famous quotes regarding money and central banking:Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.Thomas JeffersonHistory records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit,and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money

    and its issuance.James Madison

    The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps,the most, astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate,mint, and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.Major L.L.B. Angus

    Banking was conceived in iniquity, and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take itaway from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen,

    they will create enough deposits, to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, andthe great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be ahappier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of Bankers, and pay the

    cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits.Sir Josiah Stamp,

    (President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain) Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry andcommerce. President James A. Garfield

    Those who create and issue money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in the hollow

    of their hands the destiny of the people. Sir. Reginald McKenna, former President of the Midland

    Bank of England

    Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic valuezero. Voltair (16941778)

    Give me the power to issue a nations money, then I do not care who makes the law. Anselm

    Rothschild

    Money confers socialand political power, naturally. Those who have more of it than others use their

    wealth to dominate or control other human beings who have little or none. But money also gives power

    to a secret self, enabling it to pursue its own self-gratification in asingular fashion

    Money, therefore, contains a continuous illusion of immortal power the psychic vehicle for defeating

    time itself by controlling the future. It is only an illusion; no mortal ever conquers time

    Thus, on a psychic plane, the Wall Street investor accomplishes what the alchemist could notcreating

    gold from dross, real wealth from mere paper, a living organism from raw numbers

    To demystify the Federal Reserve, one first had to understand that money did not require religious faith

    or buried fantasies or impenetrable technicalities. Money was, above all, a political questiona matter

    of deliberate choices made by the state.William Greider,Secrets of the Temple, pp. 235, 236, 238,

    The Money is an Illusion

    By Dene McGriff

    Over the centuries man has used many things for moneycattle, seashells, camels, coffee, jewels and

    precious metals. Before money, there was Bartertwo people trading something the other wanted.

    Commodities and finally metals in the form of coins were introduced. Paper money originated with the

    goldsmith who gave receipts to wealthy citizens for storage and safekeeping. The goldsmiths realized

    that the receipt could be used in commerce since it could be redeemed in gold from the goldsmith. Thus,

    modern banking was born. Then they realized that the demands for redemption were relatively small so

    long as they kept a minimum in reserve. Thus fractional-reserve banking was born. If they kept ten or

    fifteen percent on hand, they would have enough to redeem any demands on the bank. For centuries,

    European privately owned banks would issue paper bank notes backed by gold reserves. The system was

    transferred to America. Gradually, the value was transferred to the demand deposits which were

    redeemable by personal drafts or checks and gold was all but forgotten.

    During the 18th, 19th and early 20thCenturies, periodic failures plagued the banking industry. Experiments

    with fiat (paper) money always ended in inflation and devaluation of the currency. After the Civil War,

    the National Bank Act tried to regulate bank notes issued by state banks but the public at large had little

    confidence in this chaotic banking system. Then along comes the Federal Reserve Act in 1912 to restore

    order and public confidence in the monetary system.

    Now when the Federal Reserve began, the paper money was backed by gold or silver up to a small

    portion of the face amount. The problem is that the fractional reserve tends to become smaller and

    smaller until it is reduced to nothing. And even to this day, fiat money is the way governments create

    money without taxation. It has nothing of tangible value to offset it so let the printing presses roll

    The Alchemy of the Federal Reserve

    Money is created out of absolutely nothing. Most texts teach that money is created first by someone

    making a deposit and then the bank waits for someone to come along and borrow it. That is not true.

    Money is created the instant it is borrowed. In other words, debt creates money. The government creates

    bonds (debt), gives them to the Fed which uses that debt to create money. There is no other value

    attached to it. It is the act of borrowing which causes it to spring into existence. Banks are creating

    money based on a borrowers promise to pay (the IOU).Banks create money by monetizing the

    private debts of businesses and individuals. (I Bet You Thought, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, p.

    19). Now I am going to quote from Griffins book to explain how the process works. Money creation is

    a circular concept and hard to grasp so please stay with me. Once you get it, it is absolutely shocking!

    The entire function of this machine is to convert debt into money.Its just that simple. First, the Fed

    takes all the government bonds which the public does not buy and writes a check to Congress in exchange

    for them. (It acquires other debt obligations as well, but government bonds comprise most of its

    inventory.) There is no money to back up this check. These fiat dollars are created on the spot for that

    purpose. By calling those bonds reserves, the Fed then uses them as the base for creating 9 additional

    dollars for every dollar created for the bonds themselves. The money created for the bonds is spent by

    the government, whereas the money created on top of those bonds is the source of all the bank loans

    made to the nations businesses and individuals. The result of this process is the same as creating money

    on a printing press, but the illusion is based on an accounting trick rather than a printing trick. Thebottom line is that Congress and the banking cartel have entered into a partnership in which the cartel

    has the privilege of collecting interest on money which it creates out of nothing, a perpetual override on

    money which it creates out of nothing, a perpetual override on every American dollar that exists in the

    world. Congress, on the other hand, has access to unlimited funding without having to tell the voters

    their taxes are being raised through the process of inflation. If you understand this paragraph, you

    understand the Federal Reserve System. (Griffin, The Creature from Jekyll Island, p. 193)

    The federal government adds ink to a piece of paper, creates impressive designs around the edges, and

    calls it a bond or Treasury note. It is merely a promise to pay a specified sum at a specified interest on a

    specific datethis debt eventually becomes the foundation for almost the entire nations money supply.

    In reality, the government has created cash, but it doesnt yet look like cash. To convert these IOUs into

    paper bills and checkbook money is the function of the Federal Reserve System.

    An instrument of government debt is considered an asset because it is assumed the government will keep

    its promise to payso the Federal Reserve nowhas an asset which can be used to offset a liability. It

    then creates liability by adding ink to yet another piece of paperthe Federal Reserve Check

    There is no money in any account to cover this check. Anyone else doing that would be sent to prison. It

    is legal for the Fed, however, because Congress wants the money, and this is the easiest way to get

    itThe process is mysteriously wrapped up in the banking systemThe Federal Reserve check is then

    deposited in one of the Federal Reserve Banks

    These checks become the means by which the first wave of fiat money floods into the economy. (For

    detail, please see Griffin, pp195-197)

    These Federal Reserve Checks become commercial bank deposits.

    The Truth about the Economy

    By Dene McGriff

    On Aug 10th, 2011, the stock market dropped over 500 points again after having gone up 450 the day

    before and down 640 the day before that. What is this all about? Why so much confusion? Where is it

    going? Is America on that long slide down to third world-dom? Is China taking over as top dog?

    I have been writing on the economy for quite a few years now. I called the housing bubble back in 2004,

    thederivatives problemwhich led to the crash in 2008 and the continuing deflation (depression) the entire

    world is experiencing. So what is the problem? Is it the US debt? Does it have anything to do with theUS? Will America be destroyed? I would use the analogy of attacking a Chihuahua with a baseball bat

    one swipe and hes a goner. Ever try and attack an elephant with a baseball bat? The elephant will

    probably survive just fine but the attacker may not. America may have problems but they are nothing

    compared to the rest of the world. Bottom line is that we are much more able to absorb the blows than

    they are.

    What is the Problem?

    Lets start with today. Is the problem the creditdowngradeof the U.S.by Standard and Poors? No, in

    fact Treasury sales are better than ever (the markets arent that stupid) and long term interest rates

    continue to drop. No, it is Europe and specifically France. France has been supporting Greece and there

    isnt enough money there to save them. The stronger nations of Europe have been trying to save the

    weaker PIGIES (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) but France and England are not far behind.

    Does this floundering European Union sound like the burgeoning power that will rule the world one day

    as some Christians think? They can hardly agree on anything. The EEC is a joke and it is disintegrating

    before our eyes.

    So, you say, China holds all the cards and yes they have a pretty good hand. But I have news for you,

    China has 1.5 billion problems: anaging populationwithfewer women(since baby girls were often

    eliminated), not to mention the logistics of providing freshfoodandwater, housing and other services for

    huge population. Corruptionand cronyism, demography and regional inequities will overwhelm and

    destabilize the new Asian miracle. The same might be said to a slightly lesser extent for India.

    So who does that leave on top? You guessed it. As we have said in the past, there is only one nation

    known asprophetic Babylonwhich matches this picture: apostate Christian, the great consumer nation,

    the greatest military power, and a friend of Israel (at least for now). So the economic demise of

    America/Babylon may be greatly exaggerated. Lets look at the facts as to why America is nowhere near

    falling into oblivion.

    There is a tremendous amount of debt all over the planetcorporate debt, government debt, local debt,

    personal debt, bank debt, not to mention the so-called unfunded liabilities (also an international problem)of retirement, medical care for the poor and elderly, unfunded pensions, etc. Nearly every country in the

    world is having the same problems that we are but it is much worse. The government solution is to

    print money (increase the money supply), both in cash and credit markets and just spend, spend, spend.

    Debt is parlayed and expanded in the form of derivatives. One would think that since the 2008 meltdown

    fiasco we learned our lesson, but we havent and thederivative debtscontinue to grow exponentially.

    The world is awash in funny moneyfiat currency with no backing, but rather than causing

    hyperinflation, we see deflation which is the financial enema solution to excess liquidity. Dead broke

    businesses, banks and factories go out of business and local governments and countries default (just dont

    pay their debt). The irony is that the world knows that America will never default and that is why the

    dollar is goldeneven if they have to tax and take away nearly every dollar earned. Nations flock to buy

    US Treasuries. They cant get enough even when they make nothing on them. Those are the facts.

    So in this article, we want to look at the debt ceiling crisis, why there isnt enough money in the world

    to bail out the PIGIES, what will be the result of this failure and where we are headed as

    individuals.

    From a prophetic point of view, we see that America will not decline commercially. Up until the very

    end America will be the leading economic and military power. However this doesnt mean all goes

    well for you and me. All of the crashes and bailouts have been at our expense. More on that in a

    minutethe $16 trillion heist! The long term trend is that the rich will get richer and the poor will get

    poorer and the middle income will continue to slip into poverty. Right now, I am making one sixth of

    what I made twenty years ago. I have three grown children and all are struggling to keep their heads

    above water.

    The middle class is shrinking and here arestatsto prove it.

    83 percent of all U.S. stocks are in the hands of 1 percent of the people. 61 percent of Americans always or usually live paycheck to paycheck, which was up from 49

    percent in 2008 and 43 percent in 2007.

    66 percent of the income growth between 2001 and 2007 went to the top 1% of all Americans. 36 percent of Americans say that they dont contribute anything to retirement savings. A staggering 43 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved up for retirement. 24 percent of American workers say that they have postponed their planned retirement age in the past

    year.

    Over 1.4 million Americans filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009, which represented a 32 percentincrease over 2008.

    Only the top 5 percent of U.S. households have earned enough additional income to match the rise inhousing costs since 1975.

    For the first time in U.S. history, banks own a greater share of residential housing net worth in theUnited States than all individual Americans put together.

    In 1950, the ratio of the average executives paycheck to the average workers paycheck was about30 to 1. Since the year 2000, that ratio has exploded to between 300 to 500 to one.

    As of 2007, the bottom 80 percent of American households held about 7% of the liquid financialassets.

    The bottom 50 percent of income earners in the United States now collectively own less than 1percent of the nations wealth.

    Average Wall Street bonuses for 2009 were up 17 percent when compared with 2008. In the United States, the average federal worker now earns 60% MORE than the average worker in

    the private sector.

    The top 1 percent of U.S. households own nearly twice as much of Americas corporate wealth asthey did just 15 years ago.

    In America today, the average time needed to find a job has risen to a record 35.2 weeks. More than 40 percent of Americans who actually are employed are now working in service jobs,

    which are often very low paying.

    the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S.Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43 million Americans in 2011.

    This is what American workers now must compete against: in China a garment worker makesapproximately 86 cents an hour and in Cambodia a garment worker makes approximately 22 cents

    an hour.

    Approximately 21 percent of all children in the United States are living below the poverty line in2010the highest rate in 20 years.

    Despite the financial crisis, the number of millionaires in the United States rose a whopping 16percent to 7.8 million in 2009.

    The top 10 percent of Americans now earn around 50 percent of our national income.So what are the prospects for your future? Not very good. I know you dont like to hear this butall

    of the bailouts have occurred at your expense. Lets talk about the bailouts and stimulus.Who caused

    the crisis to begin with? We all now know that it was the banks and their reckless derivatives. Who

    got bailed out? How much money did you receive? Nothing? I didnt either. Imagine that. But read

    on. It gets much worse for us little peeps even though America will continue to prosper.

    The Bailout and Dismantling of Europe

    Look at Europe. Greecealready received $153 billion and now the Eurozone and IMF are providing

    another $152 billion. Where does that money come from and who benefits? It comes from tax payers.

    The bailout doesnt go to the Greek government. It is just passing through to pay the banks to pay the

    14% interest they already owe on their $476 billion in original debt! This guarantees another default

    which will filter back through the banking system in Europe, the US and other countries. Greece is very

    small potatoes. It is 38th in size, $318 billion in 2010, whereas Italy is 10th and Spain 13th in size with a

    total economy of nearly $3 trillion. Looking at it another way, the chart on the right shows the size of

    country debt by GDP. We hear about the PIGIES all the time (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain),

    but look at the other countries that are in equally bad condition. Countries like the UK, France and

    Germany are the ones providing the loans to the PIGIES, but when the PIGIES default, who will cover

    those countries? One guess is allowed. Guess who will be left to save them all?

    Analysts know thatItaly and Spainare close to default and will soon be followed by England and France.

    It isnt a matter of the amount of debt. Japan and the U.S. have shown that they can and will pay it back.

    It is whether they can finance the debt and at what price. The U.S. and Germany finance their debt for

    practically nothing (in the 2 percent range) whereas thePIGIESare paying all time highs of 14 to 30

    percent. These are holes they cant dig out of and as one country after anotherdefaults, Europe will be

    torn apart. But will the Euro die? Probably not. Once the PIGIES drop out of the EU, then the EU will

    survive. The PIGIES however are doomed because they wont be able to finance their debt. I would like

    to emphasize at this point that Europe and the rest of the world will look, perhaps grudgingly, to America

    to save them and establish order.

    America and the Debt CrisisSmoke and Mirrors!

    America has a debt problem, no doubt about that and neither party faced it. The so-called $4 trillion in

    cuts are not cuts at all. It is not a cut in spending but a cut in the increase. The deficit was slated to

    double from $14 to $28 trillion over a ten year period. The agreement was to cut that increase in debt

    back to only $10 trillion. The graph on the left shows the growth in the national debt through 2020 at that

    rate.

    It shouldnt take a rocket scientist to realize that this isnot sustainable. One lesson we should have all learned from the recent debt ceiling debate, is that if the

    rating agencies downgrade the US economy, we pay a higher interest rate on our debt. Lets look at some

    round numbers for a moment. If we say that our national debt is $14 trillion and we pay 2 percent on that

    debt that makes our debt payment a mere $280 billion and everyone agrees that is okay. That represents

    about 8 percent of the total Federal budget. Historically, we paid 8 percent on our national debt. That

    would quadruple the amount spent on debt. You do the math. What would the debt payment be at 8

    percent on a $24 trillion deficit?

    The more you tax, the more you grow government, the more of the GDP allocated to government,

    the smaller the productive economy and the higher the tax rate to pay for this massive debt. This is

    why some legislators are screaming about debt and wanting a balanced budget! The compromise

    So what does this mean? Bottom line it means massive tax increases if the administration has its way or

    massive cuts in government programs such as the military, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and

    Education.

    The question you all may have is how did we get into this situation? Where has all the money

    gone? What about the stimulus and bailouts? According toBloomberg Newsin 2008, the total bank

    bailout amounted to $8.5 trillion. According to the first audit ever done in the 99 year history of the

    Federal Reserve, they loaned over $16 trillion to US and foreign banks. Now think about it, the federal

    banking system is run by a privatebanking cartel called The Federal Reserve which oversees our

    financial system made up of dollarsthose little greenbacks that are backed by the full faith and credit

    of the United States of America. Weve heard those words before but what do they really mean? We

    the people are the ones backing these huge loans. Please read this article about the Greatest Bank

    Robbery. For more information on theFederal Reserve, please see thearticleI wrote some years ago

    [Modern Alchemy: The Money Illusion].

    Some of you may think that I am contradicting myself. How can I say America is strong when it is

    destroying itself? There are two answers to this question. First, America is still golden to the rest of the

    world. In spite of the downgrade in the credit rating, interest rates have gone down rather than up and the

    world is flocking to buy our debt. Second, it would appear that the long term plan is to destroy all fiat

    currency and come up with some kind of digital world currency in order to help establish the New World

    Order. It is also impoverishing those of us in the middle while the rich seem to grow richer.

    Where do We Go from Here?

    I would remind Christians that the book of Revelation clearly indicates that there will be an increasing

    gap between the rich and the poor, a subject I explored in great detail in the chapter on the four horses

    of the apocalypse. Please see the section onthe black horse. Most Christians are also familiar with the

    absolute control the Antichrist establishes by requiring everyone to take the Mark of the Beast in order to

    buy or sell (Revelation 13:13-17) so the end of the age will have not only a one world government but

    a one world economytalk about going global!

    There is some truth to the debt crisis, but like most crisis in America this is manufactured,

    apparently designed to rob from the tax payers. We are not a PIGIE. We do not have the tremendouspopulation pressure experienced by China or India, pressures that will eventually tear them apart and stall

    their miracle economies. America still has tremendous natural resources and a population that is

    being molded into a patriotic frenzy that highlights Americas Manifest Destiny to save the world

    (whether they want saving or not). There will soon be another Middle East war in Israel, a defense

    treaty with Israel, followed by a more massive civilization conflict between the Islamic and post-

    look to Mammon or anything in this world for our salvation, but to get out of the little box that has

    programmed our minds and open our hearts and minds to fresh revelation that God desperately wants to

    share with usthat generation spoken of in Daniel 12 that has a need to know what is coming down

    and why. This is the generation of destiny, of sacrifice and of glory. We need to humble ourselves before

    Him and present ourselves a holy sacrifice and let Him speak to us and reveal His purposes to us.

    A Brief Overview of Torsion: The Key to a Theory of EverythingIncluding Consciousness?

    Copyright Brendan D. Murphy, March, 2012

    Putting a Twist on Things

    The first research generally credited with the discovery of this fifth forcetorsionwas that done in

    the late 1800s by Russian professor N.P. Myshkin.1Einsteins colleague Dr. Eli Cartan first coined the

    term in 1913 afterdiscovering this forces twisting movement through the fabric of space-time is

    what gives rise to the helical structure of DNA. In the 1950s pioneering Russian scientist Dr. N.A.

    Kozyrev (19081983) conclusively proved the existence of this energy, demonstrating that, like time, it

    flows in a sacred geometric spiral,2 as I detail in The Grand Illusion (TGI).

    Russian scientists are reported to have written around 10,000 papers on the subject in the1990s alone.Torsion essentially means twisting or spiralling. Thus, this is the action of torsionwaves as they propagate through spaceand it is also the action of static torsion fields.Torsion fields are generated by spin and/or by angular momentum; any object or particle that

    spins produces torsion waves and possesses its own unique torsion field. According to some,torsion waves are the missing link in the search for a final theory of everything (TOE), aunified field theory, or GUT (grand unified theory). Currently they cannot be reconciledwith the established concept of a quantum wave as it stands in physical theory.Since torsion fields influence spin states, one objects torsion field can be changed by theinfluence or application of an external torsion field. As a result of such an influence, the newconfiguration of the torsion field will be fixed as a metastable state (as a polarized state) andwill remain intact even after the source of the external torsion field is moved to another areaof space.Thus torsion fields of certain spatial configuration can be recorded on any

    hysical or biological object.3(emphasis added)This realisation of the unique properties of torsion fields immediately suggests compellinglinks to various psi or parapsychological phenomena(such as the charging of an object

    with intent, or the informational recording of events in inert matter so that it can later beread by a psychometrist).

    Kozyrev, Time and Torsion

    Dr. Kozyrev discovered that human thoughts and feelings generate torsion waves. Such a discovery

    opens the door for a physical understanding of consciousness, and a much more complete model of

    reality. Kozyrev was able to measure physical effects that were caused by sudden psychological changes

    (including his own), proving that consciousness is related to vibrations within a fluid-like aetheric

    medium.4

    In his ingenious experiments he detected minute changes in systems, that mimickedpsychokinesis using an unknown form of hard-to-detect energytime itself, he believedwhich he

    pointed out united all existence in a unified field, connecting all things in real-time (thus facilitating

    nonlocality or action at a distance). Changes in mechanical systems produced subtle al terations in the

    density of time/the aetheric medium, as did gravity, thunderstorms, changes in season, and changes in

    matter density. Likewise, Kozyrev found that consciousness also affected time density.Emotional

  • 7/29/2019 Modern Alchemy.docx

    13/18

    thoughts produced larger effects on his equipment than did intellectual thoughts.The measurement

    systems are especially strongly affected by a person in emotional excitement, Kozyrevs colleague V.V.

    Nasonov told an audience at Moscow University in 1985. For instance, [Kozyrev] was able to deflect a

    torsion balance pointer by 40 or more when reading his favourite Faust. Meanwhile, as a rule,

    mathematical calculations did not cause pointer deflections.5 Thus, Kozyrev believed that our thoughts

    could change the density of time. He believed that in mastering the ability to make time dense at will we

    would be able to make telepathy occur at will. Under his conception, all psi phenomena would be

    stripped of their paranormal trappings and accepted into the world of natural phenomena.6

    Storing Intention and Information in Water

    Virtually all anomalous warping effects or other law-defying effects caused in matter by various

    technologies can be replicated by the human mind, as I make a point of illustrating at some length in

    TGI. The imprint of human intention into the ice crystals of Dr. Masaru Emoto is just one

    example that might be explained by torsion waves radiated by human thoughts and emotions. Dankachov

    showed in 1984 that water is a good medium for storing static torsion fields.7 The torsion fields

    created by human intention are simply memorized in water, especially water containing ionized

    salts.8 At a sub-microscopic level the internal structure of water has changed causing the resultant

    differences in the ice crystals. At Sound Energy Research scientists created torsion field imprints in

    distilled water using scalar (torsion) wave technologies. The result is structured water called scalar wave

    structured water. They sent samples to Emoto who froze them and studied the crystals, which formed

    hexagonal structures like those created by human consciousness.9 The scalar/torsion technology creates

    the same effects as mental intent. The inference to be drawn is compelling: perhaps torsion waveswhich

    are bereft of any electromagnetic (EM) properties or massare carrier waves of consciousness.

    According to Dr. W.E. Davis, the psionic device patented and used for years now by the De La Warr

    laboratories in England is a variation of the Heironymus machine that is capable of registering

    photographs of the L(ife) field surrounding an object. In 1958 Dr. De La Warr took a picture of a drop of

    ordinary tap water. The results were normal: there was a central point with seven bright, thin lines

    radiating from it. Then he asked a priest to bless the water before he took another picture. This time, the

    brilliant lines of force formed the shape of a cross!

    10

    This phenomenon is somewhat akin to the use ofkind words to metamorphose the shape of water molecules as documented in Emotos research. The spin

    states of the waters atoms were presumably altered by the priests own torsion field as he imprinted his

    intention by blessing the water.

    Nonlocal Interactions and Torsion in Nature

  • 7/29/2019 Modern Alchemy.docx

    14/18

    The fact that plants are able to respond to human intention in measurable ways could perhaps be

    related to the torsion waves created by human consciousness and broadcast to the plant, which senses

    them and responds accordingly, on instinct. After all, if we can observe the Phi ratio (signifying the

    presence of this spiraling torsion energy) virtually everywhere we look in nature and realize that plants,

    humans, and animals are all created out of this mathematically embedded matrix or implicate

    order, it is not so surprising that plants can detect human thoughts (which generate torsion waves), as

    Cleve Backster has shown with his breakthrough studies (starting in the 1960s) on human-plant telepathic

    interactions. Backster documents, among other things, that when he was away from his office, the plants

    in his office space actually produced immediate measurable electrical reactions to his intent to return

    even when he was nowhere near the building. By connecting a plants leaves to a polygraph machine,

    Backster found that his office plants not only responded stressfully tosilent mental threatsby a human to

    harm them, but also to the deaths of nearby organisms, such as brine shrimp and even bacterial colonies.11

    Russian scientist Dr. Victor Grebennikov is an entomologist who discovered what he calledthe cavity

    structural effect (CSE) created by bee nests. The particular shape of the nests caused them to harness

    and throw off large amounts of torsion waves that were detectable to human hands even when the nest

    was shielded with thick metal. These torsion waves act as a guide to trees, who detect them and guide

    their roots around the bees structures rather than growing into them, as well as offering a form of

    nonlocal communication between the bees themselves.12 The torsion harnessed by the CSE can also

    alter the passing of time, as Grebennikov showed, replicating Kozyrevs findings.13

    Dr. Frank Brown, a pioneer in the study ofinteractions between magnetism and living organisms,

    found that when bean seeds were placed near one another there was an interaction between them thatcould not be explained in orthodox terms: it seemed to be due to the presence of a biofield or spin

    force.14 That the biofield was involved is supported by Browns observation of a connection between

    rotation and bean seed interaction. He found that the beans interacted more strongly when they were

    rotated counter-clockwise than when they were rotated clockwise. (The biofield is usually observed as a

    clockwise force as seen from above, though it reportedly flows in one direction for men and the opposite

    for women.) Brown also reported on the research of R.I. Jones, who reported in 1960 that plant growth

    could be altered by uniform daily rotation. Clockwise rotation depressed growth, suggesting the presence

    of a spin force around all plants might be a factor.15

    Pyramids as Torsion Conductors and Generators

    Russian and Ukranian research into pyramids has yielded some very interesting results regarding torsion

    waves. The Russians found that the pyramid shape naturally harnesses torsion waves, as if

    amplifying them. It has been experimentally established that objects that feature the Golden Section

  • 7/29/2019 Modern Alchemy.docx

    15/18

    (which expresses Phi) can be described as passive torsion generators.16 The team of Prof. A.G. Antonov

    from the Russian R&D Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology tested the effects of a solution

    of40% glucose in distilled water after it had been stored in the pyramid. By administering only 1 ml

    of the glucose to 20 different prematurely born infant patients with compromised immune systems, their

    levels of health were seen to increase rapidly up to practically normal values. The researchers furthermore

    discovered that the glucose was not necessary, as the same effect could be produced by simply using 1 ml

    of ordinary water that had been stored in the pyramid.17Another study in Russia showed that mice

    drinking torsion-affected pyramid water had significantly fewer tumors develop than the mice drinking

    the ordinary water.18 (Elsewhere, Russian scientists have reported that mice subjected to static torsion

    fields showed significantly enhanced immune function.19) Blunted razor blades also sharpen again as

    the crystalline structure is regenerated by the harnessed energy.20 These are just a few of the many

    effects observed and verified by large numbers of qualified scientists. The best and most up-to-date

    review of the incredible effects produced by pyramids as they harness torsion fields is provided by

    Wilcock in The Source Field Investigations (Dutton, 2011).

    Some time around 1980, out-of-body explorer Robert Monroe was driving past his old home in

    Westchester County, New Yorkthe site of his first out-of-body experiences. As Monroe recalled, a

    psychologist friend who was with him in the car took one look at the house, turned, and smiled, as he

    noted that the roof of the house formed a perfect pyramid. You were living in a pyramid. That did

    it!21

    The ancient pyramids, in particular the Great Pyramid at Giza, served multiple esoteric

    functions such as facilitating OBEs, as in a shamanic initiation-type ritual.22 Pyramid placement at

    certain node points on the planetary grid suggests that they act to harness the planets life-enhancing energies, and perhaps stabilize the grid itself. They are not gigantic tombs for dead

    pharaohs, that much is certain, but that is a topic beyond the scope of this article. Wilcock explains

    thatany cone-shaped or cylindrical object will harness and focus the torsion fields spiraling out of

    the Earth; since this energy is fundamentally intelligent, harnessing it not only enhances ones

    physical health, but ones spiritual consciousness also.23

    Torsion waves have the potential to initiate a fundamental paradigm shift. They are bridging the gap

    between mind and matter in a way that was never thought possible, and in the process they are validating

    the perspectives of mystics and occultists. Various researchers consider torsion as being synonymous or

    identical with consciousness itself. Since torsion waves are a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the

    cosmos we can see how consciousness is also; consciousness has a real and detectable force which can act

    on the environment both locally and remotely. Suddenly the notion of something like psychokinesis is not

    so paranormal. Sol Luckman refers to torsion energy as intelligent light or intention energy emanating

    from higher dimensions and notes that it is distinguishable from both gravity and electromagnetic

  • 7/29/2019 Modern Alchemy.docx

    16/18

    radiation.24 Torsion fields are spin fields within gravity, and as such, they can be used to mitigate and

    nullify gravity, an idea I explore in relation to bodily levitation in TGI.

    Torsion, Psi, and the Brain

    Every electromagnetic or electrostatic field is accompanied by or contains a torsion component,25 meaning

    that all organic and inorganic objects have their own signature torsion fields,26 though no organic

    substances can be used to shield torsion fieldsunlike aluminum, for instance, which can. (Kozyrev

    stated that aluminum was an excellent reflector oftime.27) If the principle of complementarity operates at

    all scales (as we have good reason to believe) then, as Yurth points out, that means that wherever we find

    local/linear effects, we must also find non-linear/nonlocal effects.28 Relatedly, Kozyrev discovered that

    torsion waves can move through space at tremendous speedsbillions of times the speed of light

    meaning they propagate in the future and past as well,29 so tapping into them could facilitate retro- or

    precognition, psi experiences involving glimpses of the past or future in other words. If you think of

    torsion waves as connections not through space, but in the realm oftime (or time-space), then real-time

    (instantaneous) telepathic communication between people separated by thousands of miles may

    become slightly more comprehensibleand less unusual. Such phenomena ordinarily looks to us as

    acausal (since there is no discernible exchange of EM energy or force between the two parties in space-

    time), but torsion waves may facilitate nonlocal correlations through causalnonlocality.

    According to A. Akimov, torsion fields coupled with the standard electric, magnetic, and gravity

    fields should offer a unified field theory that will extend the realm of science to include the effects of

    consciousness. Its interesting to note that certain effects on the spin structure of matter caused by torsion

    waves could only be reproduced bypsychics. Furthermore, according to Russian physicist G.I.

    Shipov, torsion fields transmit information without transmitting EM energy.30 From the late 80s till

    the late 90sIt was established that torsion generators allow us not only to replicate all phenomena

    [such as PK and ESP] demonstrated by so called psychics, but they also are able to demonstrate effects

    that were never demonstrated by any psychic.31

    The Akimov group have represented the brain as a non-magnetic spin torsion system where it is

    simultaneously a torsion transmitter and receiver.32 Iona Miller wrote in an online article that

    [s]tanding scalar [torsion] waves can be coupled at exactly 180 out of phase in a resonant cavity tocreate zero sums through scalar resonance. There is just such a resonant cavity in the brain, between the

    pituitary and pineal glands. These waves of potential co-modulate each other and lock or zip together as

    a zero-vector system [scalar] wave. This allows for crosstalk or translation between dimensions.33

    Interestingly, the pineal gland is believed to produce the entheogen DMT, known informally as the

    spirit molecule. This molecule is known to facilitateintuitive functioning and mystical

  • 7/29/2019 Modern Alchemy.docx

    17/18

    experiences. Perhaps it acts as an antenna for and amplifier of hyperdimensional scalar/torsion waves? If

    a resonance can be set up within the cavity between the pineal and pituitary glands, does this stimulate

    higher levels of DMT production, allowing us to access different levels of reality? Rick Strassmans

    fascinating experiments with DMT on volunteers showed that intravenously administered DMT produces

    extremely real other-dimensional experiences, replete with interactions with non-human intelligences

    some resembling aliens referenced in the UFO and abduction literature.34

    According to veteran independent scientist Lt. Col. Tom Bearden, all mind operations are time-like, i.e.,

    they are comprised as scalar EM photon functions and scalar EM wave functions. Thus the mind is a very

    special kind of electromagnetic system, existing in the time domain.35 In other words, the mind does not

    have its origins in the material world,but in the nonlocal implicate realm or torsion/scalar field. A

    sizable list of attributes has been experimentally identified which demonstrates that the torsion field

    operates holographically, without regard to time and distance.36 So too then does consciousness.

    Pertinently, in torsion fields, similar charges attract, and opposite charges repulse. It has long been a

    metaphysical tenet that in terms of human experience like attracts like. If torsion is a carrier wave for

    consciousness this is a profound point. As a nonlocally interconnective force unifying us all in real-

    time, torsion is likely to be the missing link that facilitates Jungs acausal sychronistic phenomena

    (meaningful coincidences), and our ability to remotely draw certain people and events to us. This could

    prove to be the ultimate scientific support for the notion that what you put out is what you get

    back, (the law of attraction) though this axiom appears to be an oversimplification.

    In terms of psi phenomena such as remote viewing and other functions of consciousness that allow us to

    access information from anywhere in the cosmos, the significance of torsion fields should now beobvious. Indirect support comes from the employment of gravimetric devices by various scientists who

    have used torsion fields to measure and record distant astrophysical events and processes in real time.

    Their results support the notion that information at any single place in the cosmos can be instantaneously

    obtained at any other location.37 Likewise, by generating a torsion field (which can be done by counter-

    rotating two magnets or even other objects in close proximity), information can be pumped into it to

    instantly manifest elsewhere in the universeno matter how large the distance between the sender and

    receiver. The information packets we insert into the non-linear field [implicate order] at our local

    address becomes accessible anywhere in the hologram at any other address simply by matching the field

    effects that created the torsion field in the original locale.38 In 2001, Dr. Hartmut Mller used the

    spin/torsion fields within gravity to make a real-time telephone call from the Toezler Medientage building

    in Germany to Saint Petersburg in Russiano EM fields were used. The communication was therefore

    instantaneous, without the time lag normal EM communication systems present.39

    Conclusions

  • 7/29/2019 Modern Alchemy.docx

    18/18

    Psi and consciousness researchers have typically discussed only electromagnetism in relation to the

    operations of the mind, when all along the much harder to detect fifth force (known as torsion since

    1913) may have been the most important aspect of bio-energy in accounting for the anomalous functions

    of consciousness. Physicist Michael Talbot wrote in his early 1990s classic The Holographic

    Universe that legitimate psychics had sensed the presence of another non-EM force or energy that

    composed part of the human aura or bio-field, but could not quite pinpoint what it was. Thanks to

    pioneers like Myshkin, Cartan, Kozyrev, and many more, we may surmise that the other mysterious

    non-EM component of the human bio-field spoken of by those psychics was torsion.
