Strange Machines and other Gleenings

The Wishing machine consists of an audio amplifier with two parallel copper plates attached to the input terminals and an antenna attached to the output terminals. The user places a wish in the form of text, image and/or diorama between the plates and keeps the machine on until the wish comes true, usually within a week or two.





Hieronymous Machine™
The symbolic machine triggers your own psychic consciousness and abilities

ttp://www.cheniere.org/books/excalibur/typical_hieronymus_detector.htm

What we have from the patent, is a working model of a psychically operating machine. From tests by Hieronymus and other independent researchers, the machine will work for 80% of the population. The percentage is even higher if you have the will and desire to be successful with the machine. This is a phenomenal rate of success in a psychic experiment.

But the story doesn't end there. It has been found that each of the subsystems in the machine can be unbelievably generic, replaced by symbolic representations, or eliminated altogether. What this might mean is that as the machine is built to contain fewer parts in the material world, they become replaced by psychic parts within the experimenters themselves, as they gain proficiency. But few individuals are immediately able to operate it with proficiency. Thus, the device is an objective incremental teaching tool that can provide a fundamental starting point for the psychic studies in radiasthesia, dowsing, clairvoyance, remote-viewing, inter-dimensional communication, healing, etc.

Let us examine in sequence, the component parts of the Hieronymus Receiver. It proceeds from the 1) Object, to the 2) Pickup, 3) Tuner, 4) Refractor, 5) Amplifier, and ends with the 6) Stick-pad. We will mention how each particular sub-system can be generalized, made symbolic, or eliminated.

1) Object – It was found by Hieronymus and others, that in addition to using the whole object, such as a tree or person, the Detection would still work with a leaf, drop of blood, or single hair. It was further discovered that a photograph of the person would also work. In either case, the subject could be 1000's of miles away. All that was needed was a mental focus or representation of the object, and a willingness to participate, on the part of the subject.

2) Pickup – The patent explains that the pickup can be very generic, such that science cannot explain why the variations will still work. The pickup can be direct connections, plates, electrodes, flat coils, cylindrical coils, touching or not touching the object. Since the patent is required to fully disclose construction methodology so that independent experimenters can reconstruct the machine, these generalizations are significant. It means that Hieronymus tested all these methods with himself and others, and came to the conclusion that any sort of pickup would work. I propose that any functionally equivalent symbol of a pickup will work as well.

3) Tuner – The machine uses two dials which merely intensify and make more pronounced the stick effect from adjusting of the Refractor. The patent procedure states that you coarsely adjust the Refractor first, for a stick reaction to the Stick-pad. Then you adjust the Tuner knobs, for a better stick reaction, then fine-tune the refractor again to get the final accurate response. The knobs each had arbitrary scales 0-100 known as "Rate 1" and "Rate 2". The capacitors did not even need specific values, because it did not matter! Otherwise he would have been required to disclose the values in the patent. Once again, an example of the knobs being symbolic. They are not tuning to an electronic frequency at all !

4) Refractor – This assembly contained a prism which bent the invisible Eloptic rays to different angles, depending on the element that naturally produced it. It was made more generic in the patent, by a separate embodiment that proposed substituting a convex lens. Although the patent specifies a glass lens, Hieronymus later discovered that even thin plastic blocked the Eloptic rays. The only quantitative construction hints in the patent come from the prism assembly. He suggests a 5.5 degree incidence from the perpendicular to give a proper spread of 10 to 40 degrees out of the prism, as measured from the face. These must have been important for them to be mentioned explicitly. Later machines, especially designed by Hieronymus for medical diagnostics, agriculture experiments, and remote viewing, did not even require this prism assembly to work. The assembly was eliminated.

5) Amplifier – The electronic amplifier consisted of 3 electronic tubes. The signal could hop between the stages through coils or resistors. He specifies in the patent that under certain situations, it does not even need to be present for the machine to operate. John Campbell discovered that the machine still worked without power, or miraculously, from a diagram of an amplifier drawn in India ink on paper. You had to re-ink the batteries to keep the amplifier functional. This is one of the strongest cases for hypothesizing that the whole machine is actually a symbolic representation of a process that is occurring in the mind of the experimenter, subject, and the world.

6) Stick-pad – was defined in the patent to be a plate or flat coil of wire. It could be directly connected to the amplifier, of even in close proximity if coils are used. Later experimenters found that they could sense the Stick response by pendulum, a hand hovering over the pad, etc. Adepts discovered that no machine was needed at all, for them to get the same results.

urine-activated battery
The battery is made from a layer of paper that is soaked in copper chloride (CuCl) and then sandwiched between strips of magnesium and copper. The final product has dimensions of 6cm x 3cm, and a thickness of just 1 mm. Using 0.2 ml of urine, the team were able to generate a voltage of around 1.5 Volts with a corresponding maximum power of 1.5 mW. Battery performance can also be adjusted by using different construction materials.


we can already coax the mind to create richly detailed virtual worlds filled with ornate palaces and strange beings through the use of the drug DMT (dimethyltryptamine). In other words, the brains of people who take DMT appear to access a treasure chest of images and experience that typically include jeweled cities and temples, angelic beings, feline shapes, serpents, and shiny metals.

No More Teacher's Dirty Looks

After a natural disaster, the newscasters eventually excitedly announce that school is finally open so no matter what else is terrible where they live, the kids are going to school. I always feel sorry for the poor kids.

My dangerous idea is one that most people immediately reject without giving it serious thought: school is bad for kids — it makes them unhappy and as tests show — they don't learn much.

When you listen to children talk about school you easily discover what they are thinking about in school: who likes them, who is being mean to them, how to improve their social ranking, how to get the teacher to treat them well and give them good grades.

Schools are structured today in much the same way as they have been for hundreds of years. And for hundreds of years philosophers and others have pointed out that school is really a bad idea:

We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a belly full of words and do not know a thing. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. — Oscar Wilde

Schools should simply cease to exist as we know them. The Government needs to get out of the education business and stop thinking it knows what children should know and then testing them constantly to see if they regurgitate whatever they have just been spoon fed.

The Government is and always has been the problem in education:

If the government would make up its mind to require for every child a good education, it might save itself the trouble of providing one. It might leave to parents to obtain the education where and how they pleased, and content itself with helping to pay the school fees of the poorer classes of children, and defraying the entire school expenses of those who have no one else to pay for them. — JS Mill

First, God created idiots. That was just for practice. Then He created school boards. — Mark Twain

Schools need to be replaced by safe places where children can go to learn how to do things that they are interested in learning how to do. Their interests should guide their learning. The government's role should be to create places that are attractive to children and would cause them to want to go there.

Whence it comes to pass, that for not having chosen the right course, we often take very great pains, and consume a good part of our time in training up children to things, for which, by their natural constitution, they are totally unfit. — Montaigne

We had a President many years ago who understood what education is really for. Nowadays we have ones that make speeches about the Pythagorean Theorem when we are quite sure they don't know anything about any theorem.

There are two types of education. . . One should teach us how to make a living, And the other how to live. — John Adams

Over a million students have opted out of the existing school system and are now being home schooled. The problem is that the states regulate home schooling and home schooling still looks an awful lot like school.

We need to stop producing a nation of stressed out students who learn how to please the teacher instead of pleasing themselves. We need to produce adults who love learning, not adults who avoid all learning because it reminds them of the horrors of school. We need to stop thinking that all children need to learn the same stuff. We need to create adults who can think for themselves and are not convinced about how to understand complex situations in simplistic terms that can be rendered in a sound bite.

Just call school off. Turn them all into apartment houses. [from ttp://www.edge.org/q2006/q06_2.html
