torical periods that are not clouded in legendary time. for instance, the origins of the deity dorj shukden (rdo rje shugs ldan) are deeply tied to political intrigues in the seventeenth-century involving the fifth dalai lama. this figure will be mentioned further below. 75 a sanskrit name meaning "beautiful moon" 76 misspellings within tibetan texts are not at all uncommon. 77 "holding mountain, copper lake" 78 "leaping mountain, multi-leveled lake" 39 demon lord lekpa and the violence demoness dongmarma, daughter of the might demon lord dawa t kar.79 this is important because tsiu marpo s root tantra agrees with the latter account. this suggests that either an oral tradition surrounding tsiu marpo existed and had its beginning in the former ambiguity, or that lelung zh p dorj, perhaps al

at lelung zh p dorj, perhaps also relying on oral tradition, is retroactively situating tsiu marpo s narrative within an older tantric tradition. this latter possibility certainly agrees with general methods of authentication institutionalized within the terma tradition. tsiu marpo s mother is also questionable, as she is variously described as a serpent demoness named zangdrinma (zangs mgrin ma "copper-necked woman" a queen of the might demons named shelmikma (shel mig ma "crystal-eyed woman" and a demoness named sasin mamo (sa srin ma mo "earth demoness" finally, lelung zh p dorj makes another appeal to oral representation. he claims that some learned ones stated that the six might demons who emanated from tsiu marpo s body actually arose from the six body parts of the murdered chorwa. w

another possibility is to make a leather hat and attach horns. basic patterns for hats can be purchased in any department store or piece goods store. most of them involve cutting segments and sewing them together. you can fasten the horns as described above, but you will need a large square or circular "washer" on the inside, against which to tighten the screws. yet another way is to make an open copper (or other metal) circlet for the head and attach the horns to that. in all of the above, antlers may be used in lieu of cowhorns. it will be necessary, however, to drill a hole in the base of the antler to accept the screw. inscriptions i have talked about engraving and etching your working tools and putting your craft name on them (more on your name and how to choose it, later. there are a

parchment (these days aluminum is also sometimes substituted for mercury. gold, silver and parchment can similarly be used in place of any of the other metals if they are unobtainable but, obviously, the specific metal would be the best to use. it's not always easy to find just the right piece of the correct metal, but don't give up too easily. handicraft/hobby stores are great for many of them (copper especially. i have also seen some very creative talismans. for instance: engraved on a silver dollar or half-dollar, when silver was called for; on a copper penny or even on a flattened copper kitchen measuring-spoon, when copper was called for. having chosen your metal, what should you inscribe on it? there are many talismanic designs shown in occult books, taken from such old grimoires as

in the castle, and had come here by chance, and that the page likewise had been looking up and down for me, and at last came upon me here, and i hoped he would not take it amiss. well then, that s well enough yet, my old busy grandsire, said cupid, but you might easily have served me a scurvy trick, had you been aware of this door. now i must look better to it, and so he put a strong lock on the copper door where we had before descended. page 61 i thanked god that he had not come upon us sooner. my page too was happier, because i had helped him so well at this pinch. yet, said cupid, i cannot let it pass unrevenged that you were so near stumbling upon my dear mother. with that he put the point of his dart into one of the little tapers, and heating it a little, pricked me with it on the ha

patterns in the brain act as a parametric shape power amplifier of the energies it is receiving; thus, collecting and amplifying the amount of aetheric energy in the brain. this interesting fact was discussed in my first book on free energy12. figure 1.5.1-1 illustrates a simple vortex. one of the early shape power devices, sold as a product back in the 1970's, was a spiral etched onto a piece of copper-clad printed circuit board (pcb. the inventor claimed that the spiral plate would energize and make coffee, water, soft drinks, wine, and foods taste better. obviously, this was taking advantage of the shape power aspects of the spiral. it would be interesting to know if the original spiral was drawn from the outside to the center. this effect could be greatly enhanced if many interconnecte

e of the better known of these researchers was patrick flannigan 5,6 who developed instrumentation to test the effects of pyramid energy. 4.5 pyramid energy research summary in some of my experiments during the 1960's, i showed that pyramidal shapes seem to generate an electrostatic energy or at least collect an electrostatic charge. in more recent experiments in the 1990's, i proved that a small copper pyramid made from copper sheeting builds up a slight charge. maximum charge generation seems to be when aligned north-south/east-west. i theorize that the pyramid shape interacts with aether flow east-west and magnetic field north-south, resulting in a vortex action up the sides of the pyramid which culminates in electrons being produced, as in the les brown experiment described in a subseq

periment described in a subsequent section. more measurements need to be taken to verify generation rate, etc. measurement of the es field is with my es field meter. it is low power, about like running a comb through the hair and the pyramid takes about 30 seconds to build up. experiments with some of my two inch pyramids made of plastic and also a large one made of cardboard and a smaller one of copper sheet yielded some corroborative information. most of the following points were worked out many years ago and tests with clairvoyants correlate precisely with all the research that i and others have done on pyramid energy. however, some new shape power effects crop up here. 1. energy flows up the sides of the pyramid and comes off the peak as a spiraling pillar of light. 2. maximum energy o

d when opposite faces of the pyramid are oriented in a north-south direction. 3. a magnet on each side of the pyramid greatly intensifies the field off the peak of the pyramid. magnets need to be lined up so the field across the pyramid is attracting (i.e, ns- sn. the pyramid product which i designed many years ago had small magnets embedded in the pyramids to make the energy field stronger. 4. a copper pyramid works much better than the plastic or cardboard pyramids. we knew that materials were important but not which materials. a single copper pyramid lined up to the earth's magnetic field is equivalent to a plastic pyramid with magnets on each side to intensify the field. maximum energy collection occurs when the pyramid and magnets are lined up with the earth's magnetic field. this mea

pyramid works much better than the plastic or cardboard pyramids. we knew that materials were important but not which materials. a single copper pyramid lined up to the earth's magnetic field is equivalent to a plastic pyramid with magnets on each side to intensify the field. maximum energy collection occurs when the pyramid and magnets are lined up with the earth's magnetic field. this means the copper pyramid is several thousand times more powerful in focusing aetheric force than a pyramid made of dielectric materials. 5. pyramids drawn on paper or chalk board (i.e, 2-d drawings of 3-d pyramids) have the same energy as the 3-d version. this may be a trick of the vision in that the viewer is visualizing a 3-d object. visualization, as niena and i found out many years ago, of pyramids will

rgy as if the pyramid was physically there. visualizing a pyramid shape over a locality actually focuses the pyramid energies in that locality. 6. painting a couple of the plastic pyramids with aluminum paint did nothing to modify the amount of energy coming off the pyramids. it tests were done to find out what was happening with the energy fields around the pyramid arrays. reults showed that the copper array has much more energy radiating off of it than the plastic array. even with magnets on the plastic array and none on the copper array, the copper pyramids had more energy. in the copper array, the energy was concentrated off the peaks of the pyramids and between the pyramids in the north-south direction. from all of this we can deduce that metals (i.e, conductors, in general, deflect a

ever, when one realizes that electrostatic fields are the result of differing concentrations of aetheric energy then this is not so surprising. 4.7.1 les brown's shocking experience a video i have by the late canadian crystal researcher, les brown, tells of a huge charge of power he got from a large 30 foot pyramid which he built (see figure 4.7.1-1. he put a counterclockwise (ccw, vortex shaped, copper stove wire (with frayed ends) at the top, on the inside, of his big 30-foot pyramid to act as an antenna/collector. at the bottom of the pyramid he affixed a wire to a piece of 1/4" plywood wound in a clockwise (cw) flat spiral establishing the ground antenna. the center of the wire spiral was put through the plywood and grounded. the outer end of the flat spiral stuck up in the air so it c

the author with a clairvoyant and a clairsentient, all verify the large forcefield around the experimental setup plus the smaller forcefields around each of the triangles. what joe has discovered is that the earth moves through energy conduits which go from our sun to other planets and star systems. when the gravity wheel experiment crosses one of these energy conduits, the forcefield around the copper triangles intensifies to the extent that the bubble goes opaque to all local forces and starts moving down the conduit very rapidly and a scale upset occurs. attempts at simulating the energy conduit thus far have failed. we are in the process of evaluating the data and have found some correlation with planetary and stellar conjunctions when the earth is lined up with other planets or stars

a duplicate experiment. 7.3.1 gravity wheel experimental setup and results it took several months to get my version of the experiment to operate successfully. tuning involved getting the experimental setup oriented properly and proper grounding. the shaft must be oriented east-west. a negative ion source is set within a few feet of the spinning wheel to feed the forcefields which form around the copper triangles affixed to the gravity wheel. the experiment is set on a delicate scale which measures accurate to 0.5 grams. the static weight of my experimental setup is about 1200 grams. joe parr's version is about 1800 grams. my experiment used machined maplewood to hold the motor and shaft, and the stanchions which hold the magnets and parr's experiment was made of machined aluminum. a photo

n of the gravity wheel experiment and joe's is that joe's burns out a motor at nearly every conduit and mine doesn't. evidently, the interaction of the forcefield with the aluminum stanchions in joe's version causes enough resistance to burn out the motor. during experimental operations, the weight of the experiment can drop from 0 to -6.5 grams. when one considers that the gravity wheel with the copper triangles weighs about 12 grams, the total normal operational levitation effect is on the order of 50% weight loss. this by itself is a remarkable experimental effect and deserves acute attention. the scale which is used in the experiment is an ohaus precision plus purchased from cole parmer. the scale can measure accurately within 0.5 grams over a range of 0-4000 grams. the scale has an rs

. the following sequence took only 10 minutes of testing. observation 1. the gravity wheel experiment had been running fairly continuously now for about 10 days to two weeks. the entire garage was filled with aetheric energy with it being most intense around the gravity wheel experiment table. observation 2. the aluminum pyramids in the same numbers and configurations give the same results as the copper pyramids. the conclusion is that metal pyramids focus the energy more powerfully than non-metal pyramids. 7.7 critical parameters of the pyramid gravity experiments there are several critical parameters in building either the parr centrifuge experiment or the gravity wheel experiment. joe spent over 14 years finding factors which affect the experiments. one of these has already been mention

the optimum relationship of the magnets with respect to the triangle or pyramid. figure 7.7-1. optimum magnet positioning for gravity experiments both of joe's experiments have triangles in that the pyramids in the first experiment have opposing facing triangles, and the toothed wheel in the second experiment has opposing facing triangles. joe found that the toothed wheel would not work until the copper triangles were freed from touching each adjacent triangles. touching was eliminated by putting a small slit between each triangle and removing the copper from the center of the toothed wheel. 7.8 summary of experimental effects of shape power the main theme from this chapter is that shape power produces measurable effects and can be measured with special sensors. the pyramid shape converts

ing water is used by farmers and owners of large estates. dowsers are not geologists who might have a scientific knowledge of the locality.they may be from all walks of life. among amateur dowsers were lord farrer and andrew lang. the rods are mostly cut from hazel, but all kinds of nut and fruit trees have been used; white and black thorn and privet are also favorites. pieces of watch spring and copper wire are also used, and in some cases the forked rod is dispensed with, the peculiar sensation felt in the arms, hands, and body being enough to indicate the water. dowsers wander over the ground with the ends of the fork grasped in the palms of the hands and the rod downward, and when it moves.turning suddenly upward in the hand for water or downward for minerals.at that spot will be found
