Get the Point?
In attempting to understand the action of an acupuncture on my body, I came up with the following theory on the fundamental life force for all biology on this planet.
To me, an acupuncture needle was nothing more than a small lightning rod. Thus, in order to understand what the acupuncture needle was doing, it was necessary to understand what a lightning rod does. When there are no thunderclouds, a lightning rod emits a corona discharge. The electromotive force that powers the corona discharge is the potential difference between the negatively charged earth and the positively charged ionosphere. This potential difference is between 300,000 and 400,000 volts.
This action of a lightning rod is demonstrated in a high school physics experiment using a static electricity generator. Such a demonstration is described in the book “ Nature’s Electricity”, by Charles K. Adams, on pages 109 to 110, with a diagram on page 110. As shown in the drawing below, a spark will jump across the gap between two flat objects charges by a static electricity generator. When one flat object is replaced by a pointed conductor, however, and the same charge applied, with the same distance between objects, no spark occurs. The corona discharge from the point prevents the buildup of the potential difference that causes the spark to jump between the two objects. What is important here is that electrons will flow on or off the point of a pointed conductor.

The corona discharge from the point prevents the buildup of the potential difference that causes the spark to jump between the two objects. What is important here is that electrons will flow on or off the point of a pointed conductor.
As a result of electrons being emitted through a point source from any object, a flow of electrons in the object is thereby generated. An acupuncture needle in a body will emit electrons causing a local flow of electrons in the region on the body where the needle is inserted. A lightning rod will emit electrons causing a local flow of electrons in the soil where the lightning rod is grounded. Other pointed conductors like pyramids, megalithic stones, paramagnetic rock chips and cairns will behave the same way with respect to the soil as the lightning rod. Thier action is the same. This flow of electrons, I suggest, is the fundamental terrain for all life. Alter the flow in the soil and you alter the life that lives in the soil. Similarly, alter the flow in your body and you alter the health of your cells.
Also reported in “Nature’s Electricity”, in 1927, B.F.J. Schonland measured the current of a point discharge from a tree. He placed the tree in an insulated box and connected a galvanometer in series with the wire he used to ground the tree.The experiment showed that in fair weather, electrons passed from the earth through the tree and out into the air from its many discharge points, its branches and leaves. When thunderclouds were overhead, however, the electron flow was reversed and the magnitude was greater than the flow in fair weather.
What I am suggesting is that this flow of electrons off the tree is not simply an external flow, but rather an internal flow that is the life force for the tree. The health of the tree and all of its cells is dependent on the amount of this tiny current flow. If this flow ebbs, the tree will degenerate and will become diseased. So, I am suggesting that this internal flow of electrons in all life is the life force for all biology on this planet, including, of course, us. In addition, the potential difference between the earth and the ionosphere is the fundamental power source for all the life on this planet.

Paramagnetic Rock for Increased Plant Growth

Paramagnetic Rock for Increased Plant Growth

What Is Paramagnetic Rock?Physicists tell us that all matter has an electrical ability to be either attracted or repelled by a magnet. If matter is attracted to a magnet, it is said to be paramagnetic. If the matter is repelled, it is said to be diamagnetic. There are big differences in degree of attraction and repulsion among various materials. The paramagnetic of many elements and compounds can be found in physics handbooks. The actual paramagnetic values of rocks, metals, fertilizers, elements, and soils can be measured with a magnetic meter (called the Phil Callahan Soil Meter), available from Pike Labs (see www.pikeagri.com ).
While many materials are paramagnetic, it is the highly magnetic volcanic rock that is used as the soil additive and conditioner. To understand how it works, think of paramagnetic rock as a conduit for gathering the electro-magnetic energy of the cosmos. In the soil, this "gathering power" sets up a flow of energy from the paramagnetic material to other material that is diamagnetic (e.g. plant material and compost). The higher the soil CGS value, the higher will be the flow of energy. It is this flow of energy that is responsible for increased microbial development and the resulting plant growth. Other paramagnetic materials include charred wood, ash, air, oxygen, water, calcium, potassium, sodium, and soil. . As a rule, the paramagnetic rock is not a provider of minerals for the plants. The values of paramagnetic rock can be as high as 9,000 or more. Paramagnetic rock is sometimes referred to as lava sands. Many soils will have paramagnetic values that are less than 100, with some as low as 25. These will not be highly productive soils. The unit of measure is CGS, (centimeter/grams/second), which is gauss/million, i.e. the measurement of the magnetic flux density.
Most organic molecules, e.g. plants, are diamagnetic. You can actually observe this. Try transplanting very tiny carrot plants, with hair-like roots. As you stick the carrot root into a small hole in the soil, the carrot root actually bends as if attracted by the soil (which is exactly what is taking place).
Soils with high organic matter and high biological activity are usually higher in paramagnetic values. Paramagnetic values can also be increased by correcting the calcium/magnesium ratio (to the 7:1ideal ratio) and raising the oxygen levels in the soil. All the systems in the soil work together. The higher the organic matter in the soil, and the accompanying biological activity, the more effective will be the addition of paramagnetic rock. The following soil paramagnetic readings can serve as a guide:
0-100 = not good soil
100-300= good soil
300-700 = very good soil
700-1,200 = excellent soil
The Value of Paramagnetic Rock: The most important point about paramagnetism is that it contributes to plant growth. Dr. Phil Callahan, the guru in this discipline, says unequivocally, that paramagnetism is required for plant growth. He and others list the values of high paramagnetic soils as increased water retention, increased microbial stimulation, improved nutrient utilization, and something referred to as increased light energy. Other benefits in the soil include increased seed germination and flowering, improved insect resistance, increased frost and drought hardiness, and more earthworms in the soil. It has also been shown to assist in overcoming the effects of toxins (atrazine) in the soil.
Paramagnetic rock can also be beneficial when added to compost piles. It increases the biological activity, which in turn speeds up the rates of decomposition.
Australian agriculture consultant, Graeme Sait, (author of the book Nutrition Rules!)now tests all his clients' soils for paramagnetic value. If low, he recommends a highly paramagnetic rock. Callahan, in his book, Paramagnetism, writes about the great healing places in the world as being highly paramagnetic. Likewise there are interesting facts connecting paramagnetism to Round Towers in Ireland, as well as at Indian mounds and the Pyramids.
Rates Of Application and Placement: Paramagnetic rock of high quality (CGS 9,000+) is available from Nitron Industries in the Fayetteville, Arkansas area. The rate of application is dependent on the CGS values of paramagnetic rock and the soil to which it is to be applied. For my garden, my goal is to get the paramagnetic value in the 300-700 (very good) range. I have a good soil, and have increased the organic matter content to about 4%, but before adding any paramagnetic rock, the paramagnetic value averaged 85. I did some testing, and by thoroughly mixing paramagnetic rock (with a CGS of 9,000) to an 8-inch depth, with rates of ¼ pound, ½ pound, and 1 pound per square foot, I could raise the CGS values of my garden soil to 250, 475, and 565 respectively. A cup of paramagnetic rock weighs about ½ pound. I have tested many garden soils in the area, and almost all are below 100, with some as low as 25. I have now applied 1 pound per square foot over my entire garden. This may seem like a very high rate, but remember that the magnetic, energy-collecting value remains in place for centuries.
Preliminary testing of paramagnetic rock in my gardenshowed increased growth of newly set out strawberry plants, and slightly higher brix reading(0.5 ) for tomatoes. Be aware that the effect will likely increase with time. The likely first action in the soil is to increase the microbial activity, which in turn will likely release soil minerals. Paramagnetic rock is not a substitute for minerals, and will likely not fully correct soils that are seriously deficient or out of balance in minerals. However, as the soil improves, the paramagnetic rock will enhance plant growth and fruit production.
For gardens and other areas that can be worked, mix the paramagnetic rock into the top 6-8 inches of soil. The soil does not need to be roto-tilled. You can do the mixing with a garden fork.
For areas where plants are already established, like lawns and trees, simple spread it on the surface. Over time, the soil microbes and earthworms will move it down into the soil where it is most beneficial. By adding compost or mulch, you can increase the earthworm activity and speed up the incorporation process.
