PLANETARY RHYTHMS AND HUMAN HEALTH Lewis B. Hainsworth of Western Australia seems to be the first researcher to recognise the relationship of brain-wave frequencies to the naturally circulating rhythmic signals, known as Schumann’s resonances (SR), in the space between the surface of the Earth and the ionosphere. Hainsworth imparted this awareness to Dr Robert O. Becker, noted electromagnetics pollution expert, and to Harvard neurologists as early as 1975.

In 1977, this phenomenon–the relationship between brain-wave rhythms and the spectrum of the natural Earth ELF (extremely low frequency) signals–became the basis for Itzhak Bentov’s Stalking the Wild Pendulum (Dutton, 1977). Later research confirmed a relationship to human health and well-being and even to ESP or psi phenomena.

Hainsworth sent up a clarion cry against hazardous EM (electromagnetic) pollution, whose dangers pale in comparison to the threat of technologies such as HAARP [High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program], which sends violent pulsations into the Earth’s ionosphere, potentially disrupting the entire electromagnetic shield of the planet and certainly affecting the whole biosphere and thus human welfare in general.

Some research has suggested that the frequency of the basic Schumann’s resonance has recently been rising in value, possibly threatening the whole biosphere, human welfare and our evolutionary future. All biological processes are a function of electromagnetic field interactions. EM fields are the connecting link between the world of form and resonant patterns. They store gestalts or patterns of information. The bridge connecting solar system resonances and brain frequencies resides in our human DNA helix, which co-evolved in the Earth’s environment.

Electrical engineer Lewis B. Hainsworth, MA, was among the first to suggest that human health is linked with geophysical parameters by way of the naturally occurring Schumann’s ELF. His hypothesis identified naturally occurring features which determine the frequency spectrum of human brain-wave rhythms:The frequencies of naturally occurring electromagnetic signals, circulating in the electrically resonant cavity bounded by the Earth and the ionosphere, have governed or determined the ‘evolution’ or development of the frequencies of operation of the principal human brain-wave signals. In particular, the alpha rhythm is so placed that it can in no circumstances suffer an extensive interference from naturally occurring signals.

Hainsworth concluded that the frequencies of human brain-waves evolved in response to these signals. If his hypothesis is correct, conditions for evolutionary changes in human brain-wave patterns have now been established. Furthermore, variations in these patterns can produce mild to disastrous health and behavioural changes.

The nature of the applied stimulus makes it difficult to identify the responses directly, as they are most likely to occur in the form of stress-related conditions. They will therefore show up as drastic increases in mental disturbance, antisocial behaviour, psychosomatic conditions and neurological disturbances. Some electrical field phenomena have already been linked with abnormal cell growth and a decrease in immunocompetency.

All these factors could be expected to lead to the appearance of “new” diseases, probably accompanied by a decline in resistance to many minor infections, an increase in conditions related to abnormal cell development, including cancer, birth defects and infertility, and an increase in psychological disturbance problems, e.g., drug addiction and suicide. These existing psychobiological problems could be expected to increase in scale, but could be studied for deviations from “normal” alpha cycles of 10.4 Hz, with detectable changes in psychological characteristics and mental abilities.

Hainsworth therefore strongly urged that research into widespread measurements of the natural SR signals’ frequency variations and field strengths be carried out and compared with statistics for the incidence of heart attacks, suicide attempts, road accidents, social violence, domestic accidents, crimes, etc. Studies are often conducted in this inferential way (such as those by Krippner and Persinger), searching correlations between the phenomena of Earth lights and tectonic strain and reports of UFO sightings, abduction reports and other anomalous psychophysical experiences for an electromagnetic connection to temporal lobe seizures.

We strongly suggest that correlations of broad changes in the modulations of SR be studied in relationship to microwave radiation, ELF signals and HAARP for both immediate and long-term consequences. We have discussed elsewhere the obvious ramifications of such EM pollution and 10-50 Hz modulations on the human system (Miller & Miller, “Synthetic Telepathy”, 2001).

We have also discussed the benefits for human well-being and relaxation from entraining with these natural rhythms (The Diamond Body, 1981). When a person is deeply relaxed, slow rhythmic sine-wave patterns can be detected in both the EEG and the heart/aorta resonating oscillator in the 7-8 Hz range. Resonance occurs when the natural vibration frequency of a body is greatly amplified by vibrations at the same frequency from another body.

Oscillators alter the environment in a periodic manner. Thus, standing waves in the body, whether during meditation/relaxation or not, can be driven by a larger signal. Progressively amplified wave-forms, created by resonance, result in large oscillations entraining other circuits in the body tuned to those frequencies. A hierarchy of frequencies thus couples our psychophysical selves to the harmonic frequency of the electrical charge of the Earth, which naturally pulses at the same frequencies. This is hardly a coincidence, as we are adaptive products of our environment.

Our planet is surrounded by a layer of electrically charged particles called the ionosphere. The lower layer of the ionosphere is roughly 60-80 kilometres (40-50 miles) from the crust, and this charged layer is known to reflect radio waves. Bombardment by HAARP signals “pushes” out this boundary layer, thus altering the natural, pulsating rhythm. Natural fluctuations in frequency occur daily, by the lunar month, and in response to solar flares.

Since the ionosphere is a highly charged layer, it forms a so-called capacitor with the Earth. This means that there is a difference in electrical potential between the two, the Earth being negatively charged and the ionosphere being positively charged. This potential varies somewhat, but is around 200 volts per metre. This is a fundamental type of electrical generator. The solar winds, interacting with the upper atmosphere rotation, act as the collector and brushes of a generator. The lower atmosphere can be seen as a storage battery for this gradient potential.

This electromagnetic field around the Earth can be viewed as a stiff jelly. When our bodies move and vibrate, these movements are transmitted to the environment, and vice versa. These fields not only impinge on our bodies, they also affect the charges inside our bodies. When we are standing on the ground, under normal conditions, we are grounded. Our body then acts as a sink for the electrostatic field and actually distorts the force-lines somewhat. The human body also has its own electrostatic field about itself.

These field lines are the result of the various biochemical reactions in the body. This resultant bio-field couples us to the iso-electric field of the planet (Miller & Miller, 1981).

In 1957, German physicist Dr W. O. Schumann calculated the Earth/ionosphere cavity resonance frequencies (which were named after him). He fixed the most predominant standing wave at about 7.83 Hz.

A “tuned system” consists of at least two oscillators of identical resonant frequencies. If one oscillator starts emitting, the other will be activated by the signal very shortly, in the process of resonance, entrainment or kindling (igniting the resonance phenomenon among the neurons). It becomes obvious that in deep meditation, when waves of alpha and theta rhythms cascade across the entire brain, a resonance is possible between the human being and the planet. Energy and information which are embedded in a field are transferred. Perhaps the planet communicates with us in this primal language of frequencies.

According to Hainsworth, the influence of naturally occurring Schumann’s resonance signals on brain-wave pattern evolution is formally stated to show that low-power electrical fields could produce evolutionary change. The electrical fields produced by modern electro-technology are then possible sources of evolutionary change. The characteristics of some forms which might result should be considered. Some fields might inhibit survival of existing forms. Because of lack of available data, precise measurements are lacking and must therefore be quantitatively valueless. Technology not only will change, but is changing, human evolution. Only extensive investigation of the naturally occurring signals will give any lead in showing what results might occur.

The possibility exists that human health is linked with geophysical parameters by way of the naturally occurring Schumann’s resonances. A number of attempts have been made to discover the correlation through geomagnetic and ionospheric storms. The correlation comes through the biological fact that the human system is apparently sensitive to such low-power ELF signals. We don’t know what the range of such a correlation might be.

The frequency values of the SR signals are determined by the effective dimensions of the cavity between the Earth and ionosphere. Thus, any events which change these dimensions will change the resonant frequencies. As Hainsworth warned, “such events could be ionospheric storms, and could even result from a man-made ionospheric disturbance” (emphasis added).

Geomagnetic storms are the magnetic changes produced by ionospheric storms, and are thus associated with conditions capable of changing the SR signals. However, although such storms can produce these changes, measurement of these parameters cannot give any indication of whether the resonance signals have changed to a value outside their normal range or not. Since the undisturbed state of the ionosphere corresponds to the normal SR patterns, then ionospheric disturbances are likely to produce abnormal patterns, but will not necessarily do so in all cases. If biological response is linked to Schumann’s resonance signals, this will reduce any apparent link with geomagnetic or ionospheric data.

Trying to determine the relationships between geophysical and biological conditions can become extremely complex. The frequencies of the SR signals change with ionospheric conditions. These conditions change diurnally, seasonally and with variations in solar activity, which, in turn, varies with the 11-year sunspot cycle and also with the 27-29-day lunar cycle, mainly during sunspot minimum periods. Lunar tidal changes in the height and thickness of the layers could also sometimes affect the cavity dimensions and hence the Schumann’s frequencies. So can powerful ELF signals from HAARP.

It should be borne in mind that if some signal conditions are harmful, then other conditions might be beneficial. This means that if, for example, seasonal and tidal conditions have resulted in the signals being in a biologically disturbing state, then the advent of a solar flare could result in changes in the signals, bringing them into a biologically beneficial state. The converse could also occur.

If we are sensitive to ELF signals, then when these factors are considered we would expect to get confusion if we try to link any effect with geophysical changes. For instance, there could be incidences of classic states of “lunacy” in some years if damaging signals coincided with full moons, then in other years the observations and analyses would show that the effects were not lunar.

An analysis of the correlation between the incidence of ionospheric disturbance and rate of admission to Heathcote Hospital (Perth, Western Australia) for about a three-year total indicated that when a disturbance occurred then the admission rate changed. The probability of the association being random was of the order of 2000:1 against. However, the fact that sometimes the rate went up and sometimes down showed that ionospheric storms changed the rate of incidence of mental disturbance in a way that is consistent with that change being dependent on the actual causes being linked to variations in the Schumann’s resonance signals. At that point, Hainsworth decided to concentrate on trying to get some observational work going on measuring the SR signals.

Hainsworth’s set-up used a 2,000-turn, 1-metre-square antenna, and another of 1/3-metre square, plus amplifiers to handle signals from 0 to 30 Hz. His amplified Schumann’s signals were analysed in a laboratory. On one occasion the signal dropped to zero amplitude when a solar flare occurred, and did not start recovering for about an hour and a half afterwards. It was originally just under 7 Hz and came back at only just over 6 Hz. His next step would have been to develop a wave analyser to try to pick out individual signals. But the failing health of both himself and his wife prevented this.

The value of proceeding with his seminal work has now increased many-fold due to the threat from the proposed US Missile Defense Shield. This is the offspring of the United States’ HAARP program in Alaska, whose raison d’être, or mission statement, allegedly dealing with national security, is vague if not purposefully misleading.

EM FREQUENCIES AND HUMAN RESPONSE Hainsworth posed a series of questions, all of which are answered with a resounding “yes”. This should lead us in the direction of extreme caution towards introducing new EM or ELF sources and ionospheric changes in our environment. He presented his data in two papers (referenced at the end of this article and posted on the website http://www.nwbotanicals.org). His questions are as follows:

1. Does the human biological system contain, use or generate any forms of electrical signal?
2. Does it respond to any of these signals?
3. Does it respond to audible signals at these frequencies?
4. Does it respond to optical signals at these frequencies?
5. Do human signals change with psychological or mental states, such as stress or problem solving?
6. Does the human system respond to any very, very low-power electromagnetic signals?

Brain waves have only been studied since about the mid-1920s, and the signal form that is apparently most widely known and identified is the alpha rhythm. The frequency of this signal varies from individual to individual, but it lies between about 7-8 Hz and 12 Hz, with an average value of 10.5 Hz. Theta and beta rhythm signals also occur, and are identifiable by EEG below the 8 Hz and above the 12 Hz frequencies. Since the discovery and measurement of these signals, a great deal of effort has been devoted to trying to work out how they originated in the first place and what determines their frequencies of operation.

In the early to mid-1950s, Schumann (a geophysicist almost certainly uninterested in neurology) suggested that electromagnetic signals might circulate at extremely low frequencies in the electrically resonant cavity between the Earth and the ionosphere. He was right. The signals came to be called “Schumann’s resonances”. One major component was originally predicated at a frequency of about 10 Hz. In 1959 it was measured to be slightly different. Meanwhile, the military co-opted the discovery for using ELF signals for submarine communications.

In fact, the first mode of these circulating signals has an average value of 7.8 Hz, with a typical diurnal range of from 7.2 to 8.8 Hz, and the second mode has an average value of 14.1 Hz and a range of from 13.2 to 15.8 Hz. These match the brain-wave theta rhythm and beta rhythm nicely. The blank range between the two modes is a very reasonable match with the normal frequency range of the human alpha rhythm, between 8 to 12 Hz or cycles.

Additionally, it was found that there is minimum (zero) power circulating in the Earth/ionosphere cavity at 10.4 Hz–which is virtually an exact match for the average value of the alpha rhythm. Hainsworth points out that the existence of these natural signals and the close relationship of their frequencies of oscillation were facts unknown to senior neurologists and mental health specialists as late as 1975.

Hainsworth argued that up to the end of 1979, no long-term systematic measurements of any great value were being made of the Schumann’s resonance signals. Measurements were being made only intermittently for the purpose of obtaining research data for use by post-graduate geophysicists in constructing esoteric mathematical models of the ionosphere. It follows from this that, until long after the end of 1979, no figures on these signals were available. Consequently, no “expert” can produce numerical evidence to support an objection to Hainsworth’s original hypothesis, since the only numerical values available are those favouring it.

However, Hainsworth left us with some open-ended questions:

7. Has any evidence ever been obtained to indicate that the human system is totally unaffected by externally applied electromagnetic fields?
8. Have any measurement programs ever been attempted to show whether the human system is (a) totally unaffected, (b) always affected, or (c) sometimes affected by naturally [or artificially] occurring electromagnetic signals?
9. Has the existence of such signals, having a close relationship with human biological signal frequencies, been known for many years?
10. Have those relationships been studied with adequate protocols in any detail?

Schumann’s resonances are actually observed, by experiment, occurring at several harmonic frequencies between 6 and 50 cycles per second (one cycle equals one hertz). Specifically they are found at 7.8, 14, 20, 26, 33, 39 and 45 Hz, with a daily variation of around ±0.5 Hz.

Only as long as the properties of Earth’s electromagnetic cavity remain about the same do these frequencies remain the same. Cycles may vary somewhat due to ionospheric response to solar cycle activity and properties of the atmosphere and magnetosphere. Projects, such as HAARP, which heat up or blast out the ionosphere pose a potential threat of catastrophic proportions to this interactive system.

MEASURING BRAIN WAVES BY EEG The resonant cavity formed between the ionosphere and the Earth produces rhythmic waves capable of entraining and phase-locking with brain waves.

Even at the turn of this millennium, Hainsworth (now deceased) seems to have been unfamiliar with extensive work in brain-wave research in neurology, hypnotherapy, biofeedback and neural feedback. This research includes extensive experiments in frequency-following response (FFR) and relating brain waves and brain-wave deficiencies to psychobiological states.

The brain is a massive source of ELF signals that get transmitted throughout the body through the nervous system, which is sensitive to magnetic fields. Brain waves and natural biorhythms can be entrained by strong external ELF signals, such as stationary waves at Schumann’s resonances. Entrainment, synchronisation and amplification promote coherent large-scale activity rather than typical flurries of transient brain waves. Thus, resonant standing waves emerge from the brain, which under the right conditions facilitates internal and external bio-information transfer via ELF electromagnetic waves. These SR waves exhibit non-local character and nearly instant communication capability.

The EEG (electroencephalograph) measures brain waves of different frequencies within the brain. Rhythmicity in the EEG is a key variable in the coordination of cortical activity. Electrodes are placed on specific sites on the scalp to detect and record the electrical impulses within the brain. FrequencyAmplitude represents the power of electrical impulses generated by the brain. Volume or intensity of brain-wave activity is measured in microvolts. is the number of times a wave repeats itself within a second. It can be compared to the frequencies on a radio.

Raw EEG frequency bands include gamma (25-60 Hz); beta (12-25 Hz); alpha (7-12 Hz); theta (4-7 Hz); and delta (less than 4 Hz). Their ranges overlap one another along the frequency spectrum by 0.5 Hz or more. These frequencies are linked to behaviours, subjective feeling states, physiological correlates, etc. Clinical improvement with EEG biofeedback is traceable to improved neuroregulation in basic functions by appeal to their underlying rhythmic mechanisms.

Schumann’s resonance forms a natural feedback loop with the human mind/body. The human brain and body developed in the biosphere, the EM environment conditioned by this cyclic pulse. Conversely, this pulse acts as a “driver” of our brains and can also potentially carry information. Functional processes may be altered and new patterns of behaviour facilitated through the brain’s web of inhibitory and excitatory feedback networks. Functional processes may be altered and new patterns of behaviour facilitated through the brain’s web of inhibitory and excitatory feedback networks.

The brain has its own set of vibrations it uses to communicate with itself and the rest of the body. EEG equipment distinguishes these waves by measuring the speed with which neurons fire in cycles per second. At their boundaries these waves can overlap somewhat, merging seamlessly into one another–so different researchers may give slightly different readings for the range of cycles per second (Hz). The rate of cycling determines the type of activity, kindling wave after wave over the whole surface of the brain by igniting more neurons.

These match the brain-wave theta rhythm and beta rhythm nicely. The blank range between the two modes is a very reasonable match with the normal frequency range of the human alpha rhythm, between 8 to 12 Hz or cycles.

Additionally, it was found that there is minimum (zero) power circulating in the Earth/ionosphere cavity at 10.4 Hz–which is virtually an exact match for the average value of the alpha rhythm.

Consequently, no “expert” can produce numerical evidence to support an objection to Hainsworth’s original hypothesis, since the only numerical values available are those favouring it.

However, Hainsworth left us with some open-ended questions:

7. Has any evidence ever been obtained to indicate that the human system is totally unaffected by externally applied electromagnetic fields?
8. Have any measurement programs ever been attempted to show whether the human system is (a) totally unaffected, (b) always affected, or (c) sometimes affected by naturally [or artificially] occurring electromagnetic signals?
9. Has the existence of such signals, having a close relationship with human biological signal frequencies, been known for many years?
10. Have those relationships been studied with adequate protocols in any detail?

Schumann’s resonances are actually observed, by experiment, occurring at several harmonic frequencies between 6 and 50 cycles per second (one cycle equals one hertz). Specifically they are found at 7.8, 14, 20, 26, 33, 39 and 45 Hz, with a daily variation of around ±0.5 Hz.

Only as long as the properties of Earth’s electromagnetic cavity remain about the same do these frequencies remain the same. Cycles may vary somewhat due to ionospheric response to solar cycle activity and properties of the atmosphere and magnetosphere. Projects, such as HAARP, which heat up or blast out the ionosphere pose a potential threat of catastrophic proportions to this interactive system.

MEASURING BRAIN WAVES BY EEG The resonant cavity formed between the ionosphere and the Earth produces rhythmic waves capable of entraining and phase-locking with brain waves.

Even at the turn of this millennium, Hainsworth (now deceased) seems to have been unfamiliar with extensive work in brain-wave research in neurology, hypnotherapy, biofeedback and neural feedback. This research includes extensive experiments in frequency-following response (FFR) and relating brain waves and brain-wave deficiencies to psychobiological states.

The brain is a massive source of ELF signals that get transmitted throughout the body through the nervous system, which is sensitive to magnetic fields. Brain waves and natural biorhythms can be entrained by strong external ELF signals, such as stationary waves at Schumann’s resonances. Entrainment, synchronisation and amplification promote coherent large-scale activity rather than typical flurries of transient brain waves. Thus, resonant standing waves emerge from the brain, which under the right conditions facilitates internal and external bio-information transfer via ELF electromagnetic waves. These SR waves exhibit non-local character and nearly instant communication capability.

The EEG (electroencephalograph) measures brain waves of different frequencies within the brain. Rhythmicity in the EEG is a key variable in the coordination of cortical activity. Electrodes are placed on specific sites on the scalp to detect and record the electrical impulses within the brain. FrequencyAmplitude represents the power of electrical impulses generated by the brain. Volume or intensity of brain-wave activity is measured in microvolts. is the number of times a wave repeats itself within a second. It can be compared to the frequencies on a radio.

Raw EEG frequency bands include gamma (25-60 Hz); beta (12-25 Hz); alpha (7-12 Hz); theta (4-7 Hz); and delta (less than 4 Hz). Their ranges overlap one another along the frequency spectrum by 0.5 Hz or more. These frequencies are linked to behaviours, subjective feeling states, physiological correlates, etc. Clinical improvement with EEG biofeedback is traceable to improved neuroregulation in basic functions by appeal to their underlying rhythmic mechanisms.

Schumann’s resonance forms a natural feedback loop with the human mind/body. The human brain and body developed in the biosphere, the EM environment conditioned by this cyclic pulse. Conversely, this pulse acts as a “driver” of our brains and can also potentially carry information. Functional processes may be altered and new patterns of behaviour facilitated through the brain’s web of inhibitory and excitatory feedback networks. Functional processes may be altered and new patterns of behaviour facilitated through the brain’s web of inhibitory and excitatory feedback networks.

The brain has its own set of vibrations it uses to communicate with itself and the rest of the body. EEG equipment distinguishes these waves by measuring the speed with which neurons fire in cycles per second. At their boundaries these waves can overlap somewhat, merging seamlessly into one another–so different researchers may give slightly different readings for the range of cycles per second (Hz). The rate of cycling determines the type of activity, kindling wave after wave over the whole surface of the brain by igniting more neurons.

We are proposing, along with Pitkanin and Sidorov, that the Schumann resonance (SR) may be the substrate for a radar-type extrasensory perception mechanism common to all living beings. Like water bouncing off of rocks and other submerged objects, this non-specific frequency is absorbed and re-radiated in unique interference patterns by all objects it encounters. This interference pattern is a composite of external and internal properties, as the constituent atoms, molecules and their global assembly all re-transmit this energy according to their specific configurations. Not only that, but the “sounding waves” can be frequency and pattern modulated by conscious intent in order to yield specific information (interference patterns). Decoded by the brain they return almost instantly on the “back” of the Schumann Resonance. Once recaptured, the patterns are then decoded by the brain. In this Fourier-type transformation the information is translated into conscious data, much like other sensory processing.

Conversely, specific effects may be imprinted as bioinformation and made to exercise a “mysterious action at a distance”, once the signal wave reaches the target.   That pattern, in turn, may, under the right (“pre-requisite”) global conditions, avoid routine dissipation and become instead coupled to the dominating (“state-of-consciousness”) standing wave that is picked up and carried by the Schumann resonance. Mental intent may function as a variable window of transmission/reception in the exchange of extrasensory information. Tuned into the Schumann resonance, it may carry such bio-regulating information to distant targets and act as a primitive, radar-type sensory interface. All these and more mechanisms depend on the SR frequencies staying within their median range.

TERROR IN THE IONOSPHERE?

The rhythm of life has evolved at an even tempo for epochs.  We live in a complex matrix of oscillating fields; the tiniest fluctuations in one interlocked field carry over perturbations into others.  Many times per second, pulses travel completely around the world between our planet’s surface and the ionosphere sending coordinating signals to all organisms.  These signals couple us to the global electrostatic field.  Named for their discoverer, the Schumann Resonance (SR) provides an orchestrating pulse for life on our planet.

We all march to the cadence of this cosmic drummer — our planetary heartbeat, which sets the tempo for health and well-being.  Damaging this planetary pacemaker could spell doom for life as we know it.  In the name of progress and defense, this pacemaker is now threatened, while vast amounts of public money are spent on this atmospheric exploitation. Even more tax funds are allocated to implement the ill-conceived “Star Wars” missile defense by the year 2020, and the already-operational energy beam Project HAARP, (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) operating in Gakona, Alaska.

This environmental rhythm — the fundamental driving system for all life on our small blue planet — is jeopardized by human manipulations of the ionosphere, such as HAARP.  Some physicists have gone so far as to identify the upper atmosphere as essentially “alive,” transmitting a type of consciousness to all living things. It is dangerous to fool with Mother Nature as the results of ozone depletion and other ecological calamities have shown.  Tampering could destroy this system, essentially leaving it — and ourselves — dead. It might be easy to see that such survival risks don’t balance alleged benefits, but targeted research on potential problem areas has been virtually non-existent.

“What is clear is that part of the money voted to Bush’s Star Wars plan will be used for research into space-based lasers,” the Independent reported. “These, we are told, will be used to shoot down the missiles fired in anger by ‘rogue states.’ But they will, inevitably, evolve into weapons aimed at America’s enemies from space. U.S. Space Command doesn’t even bother to hide this fact. The most chilling illustration in Vision 2020 is of such a space-based laser firing a beam of energy at the earth.” What the Russians are worried about (as they’re trying to explain in badly translated prose from Moscow’s Interfax News Agency) are U.S. plans to begin large-scale scientific experiments using the Alaska-based HAARP in 2003. Ninety Russian deputies signed the appeal against the HAARP program, charging that the experiments “would create weapons capable of breaking radio communication lines and equipment installed on spaceships and rockets, provoke serious accidents in electricity networks and in oil and gas pipelines and have a negative impact on the mental health of people populating entire regions.” (Fitrakis, 2002)

The ionosphere shields us from deadly radiation from the sun and deep space.  Holes are now being routinely punched in this insulating blanket by high-frequency radio waves, and may accidentally tear open the fragile cocoon of human and planetary evolution.  Dire consequences could be as devastating as the failure of an individual’s pacemaker. The forces of chaos could be let loose, doing irreversible damage. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) puts this technology for environmental modification in the hands of the military command – a frightening prospect. Because of national security mandates, we can’t be sure just what they are doing with it, and conjecture is running rampant. Hopefully, it can be disclosed before it is too late for all of us.

PERTURBING THE CLIMATE

To really comprehend just how delicately balanced our fragile planet is we need to consider the astrophysics converging on our region of space. We have to look into deep time and space. Then it becomes easier to see how the slightest perturbations to our atmosphere can cause dramatic rifts in the course of our geophysical destiny. Many complex forces are already impacting the Earth, particularly our global weather patterns. Looking at the broadest scale, there is a galactic ice age threat from supernovas, whose cosmic rays create clouds when they hit our atmosphere, cooling it. Also, the solar system is passing through the densest portion of the Milk Way Galaxy, a roughly 30-million-year cycle.

This dense molecular cloud and fluctuating galactic tidal forces of distant matter can destabilize comets in the Oort cloud and send them hurtling toward the planets and sun. This rain of small comets called impact surges, (2/3 from disk tides and 1/3 from distant matter tides), is influential in the pulsing and advancing of ice sheets over millennia and implicated in mass extinctions. It affects the oceanic heat pump (with a rain of fresh water) that acts as a global ocean conveyor. This salt pump moves warm water into northern climes, like the eastern seaboard and Europe, keeping them habitable, while cooling the tropics. Its collapse would mean that warm, salty Gulf Stream water would no longer move north, facilitating another Ice Age.

The motor of evolution is not natural selection, but climate and ice. Ice sheets have pulsed 30 times in the last 2 ½ million years since the Isthmus of Panama formed blocking tropical circulation between Pacific and Atlantic. This diverted warm water north, where it began falling as snow and built into glaciers. These glaciers ebb and flow depending on the wobble of the Earth. Dryness created by these glacial cycles forced the African tropical rain forests to die back, creating savannahs, and our progenitors left the forest and modern humans, reliant on intelligence for survival, emerged. Intelligence and versatility became our hallmarks because we had to learn to survive in volatile climates. Its only been about 1000 generations since the ice age in Europe, when human population was incredibly low.

All research indicates Earth’s climate system has sensitive thresholds, which crossed would push the system from one stable operating mode into another. Oceanic systems control weather on land, as El Nino has shown. It is also revealed in deep-sea sediments, ice-core sheets and the fossil record. They all show the conveyor has shut down in the past. It has been called the “Achilles heel” of our climatic system. The pump is in decline according to researchers and could signal an abrupt and dramatic shift. A paper in Nature in 2002 showed the deep current is freshening by as much as 20%; this is NOT a good sign. Melting glaciers could hasten the process.

Fossil evidence demonstrates collapse can happen within a decade and persist for centuries. This new paradigm of rapid climate change is now broadly accepted worldwide. Such triggers can create spikes of around 10 degrees C. in about a decade, followed by plateaus of about 20 years, then dramatic cooling of around 20 degrees C in around 2 decades. In the last 8-10,000 years, these pulsations have been milder, but solar instability, axis tilt, and current declines could precipitate their return. So could human tampering with the weather through energy beam technology and weaponry.

A rise in temperature of only 3-4 degrees C. could trigger a rise in sea level of 20 meters within one decade! Further warming and ice melt creates a cycle where temperatures could spike 8-10 Degrees C. in 30 years. Then ocean currents would shift and new heat/cold patterns emerge. New shallow seas would decrease land mass; agricultural plains would be flooded, diminishing food-growing areas further. Roughly, 30-40 percent of the land would be lost and mankind would be displaced from inundated valleys on all continents. Trade, commerce, and industrial production would be flooded out. In 2003, the EPA predicted a rise of 3-9 degrees F. over the next hundred years. Tropical oceans have warmed 1.8-2.6 F. over the past 100 years, and glaciers are melting worldwide.

Research has also suggested that the sun itself has been in a heating cycle and may be a significant component in global warming, (1 degree F. per year since 1880). Limited results suggested the sun produced .05% more radiation per decade since the late ‘70s. The sun’s alleged increasing output means stronger solar winds sweeping across the upper atmosphere, exciting and ionizing it with charged particles. Roughly half the global warming in the last century can be attributed to the sun. The hotter it burns, the more cosmic rays it deflects. Sustained over decades it could lead to dramatic climate fluctuation, as in the historical past.

“Examinations of ancient tree rings and other data show temperatures declined starting in the 13th Century, bottomed out at 2 degrees below the long-term average during the 17th Century, and did not climb back to previous levels until the late 19th Century. Separate records of sunspots, auroral activity (the Northern Lights) and terrestrial deposits of certain substances generated in atmospheric reactions triggered by solar output, suggest the Sun was persistently active prior to the onset of this Little Ice Age, as scientists call the event. Solar activity was lowest during the 17th Century, when Earth was most frigid.” (Britt, 2003). The output of the sun fluctuates in an 11 year cycle, which had two peaks in 2000 and 2002.

Solar minimum is about three years away. These changes in the solar cycle cause short-term changes on Earth. At solar maximum, as much as 2% increase in clouds over the US has been reported. When bombarded with maximum solar output, the temperature of the thin upper atmosphere doubles. It swells and puffs up further into space, up to and beyond the orbit of the International Space Station. It can even increase drag on the ship that needs frequent boosts from space shuttles to maintain its momentum. Recently it has become easier and more accurate to measure solar activity outside of Earth’s atmosphere. We now measure total solar energy, at all wavelengths, with the resultant figure called Total Solar Irradiance (TSI). The jury is out on whether current indications of increases are a long-term trend or brief aberration.

“The new study shows that the TSI has increased by about 0.1 percent over 24 years. That is not enough to cause notable climate change, Willson and his colleagues say, unless the rate of change were maintained for a century or more. On time scales as short as several days, the TSI can vary by 0.2 percent due to the number and size of sunspots crossing the face of the Sun. That shift, said to be insignificant to weather, is however equal to the total amount of energy used by humans, globally, for a year, the researchers estimate. The study analyzed data from six satellites orbiting Earth at different times over the 24 years. Willson ferreted out errors in one of the datasets that had prevented previous studies from discovering the trend. “A separate recent study of Sun-induced magnetic activity near Earth, going back to 1868, provides compelling evidence that the Sun’s current increase in output goes back more than a century, Willson said.” (Britt, 2003). Further perturbing, much less tearing holes in a super-heated ionosphere can create catastrophic weather changes. These can potentially be triggered by the military under the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to destabilize whole areas with climatic manipulation, without the risks of conventional warfare. Deploying this weaponry for economic and strategic purposes could collapse ecological systems, and disrupt agricultural production dramatically. The Department of Defense has, of course, already implemented the development of intelligence and weather monitoring systems related to this program. NASA and DOD are working on multimedia imagery reports for massive ecological changes, using data relayed from satellites.

Latest speculation has also tried to link appearance of mysterious chemtrails to the deployment of HAARP technology. Some think that the reflective qualities of these clouds influence atmospheric heating and weather patterns. Reported analyses of the “angel-hair” taken from the atmosphere after a day of spraying claim a variety of toxins. Viral bacteria, toxic molds, carbon black and E.D.B.M. (ethylene di-bromide: highly carcinogenic chemical additive for fuel banned about twenty years ago) have been identified. Speculation about these sprayed grids includes increasing reflectivity in certain layers of the atmosphere. These sprayings are also responsible for a massive decrease in the production of negative ions by the forests. This is eventually deadly for all biological life.

Further, explanation of the serious and widespread drought conditions are directly related to the fact that the highly toxic and moisture absorbing (up to seven times it’s own weight) Barium salt has also been detected in high quantities in the atmosphere right after a spraying event. These sprayings may therefore be linked to H.A.A.R.P and its “weather engineering” capabilities. ARCO Petroleum owns the patents on this Tesla technology. It appears that ARCO was directly funding “H.A.A.R.P.” as reported a number of years ago. Many research groups have shown that we are being constantly showered with ELF’s (Extremely Low Frequencies) as electronic “smog”. ELF’s can be deadly to any biological life form as they alter the normal frequency of that life form causing serious illness, including irrational thought, inability to concentrate, chronic fatigue and/or death.

Interfering with this delicately balanced dynamic system could induce a catastrophic collapse, much like an avalanche. Therefore, the potentials from so-called “ionospheric heaters” are truly frightening, for we have no idea what possibilities can emerge from long-term meddling with the sensitive balance of the ionosphere and global temperature, which is also linked to the world-wide oceanic pumping system whose source lies off Greenland.  As if the weather isn’t disrupted enough from other human pollution, tampering with beam energy devices compounds the problem much further. The UN is sponsoring continued debates on climate change, greenhouse gases, and “non-lethal weapons,” which can be deployed by at least the Americans and Russians. “Weather war” means triggering atmospheric disturbances with ELF radar waves. Through electronic weaponry, the US wants to “own the weather” and the space platform for military superiority, tailoring natural patterns, and dominating global communications.

“Recent scientific evidence suggests that HAARP is fully operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts, hurricanes and earthquakes. From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction. Potentially, it constitutes an instrument of conquest capable of selectively destabilizing agricultural and ecological systems of entire regions. While there is no evidence that this deadly technology has been used, surely the United Nations should be addressing the issue of “environmental warfare” alongside the debate on the climatic impacts of greenhouse gases. . .Dr. Rosalie Bertell confirms that “US military scientists … are working on weather systems as a potential weapon. The methods include the enhancing of storms and the diverting of vapor rivers in the Earth’s atmosphere to produce targeted droughts or floods.”

Already in the 1970s, former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski had foreseen in his book “Between Two Ages” that: “Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised.” Marc Filterman, a former French military officer, outlines several types of “unconventional weapons” using radio frequencies. He refers to “weather war,” indicating that the U.S. and the Soviet Union had already “mastered the know-how needed to unleash sudden climate changes (hurricanes, drought) in the early 1980s.” (Michel Chossudovsky, 2000)There are smaller systems at Arecibo, Puerto Rico; Fairbanks Alaska; Tromso, Norway, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Apatity, Russia; Kharkov, Ukraine and Dushanbe, Tadzhikstan, and possibly in Israel.

“HAARP has been presented to public opinion as a program of scientific and academic research. US military documents seem to suggest, however, that HAARP’s main objective is to “exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes.” Without explicitly referring to the HAARP program, a US Air Force study points to the use of “induced ionospheric modifications” as a means of altering weather patterns as well as disrupting enemy communications and radar. According to Dr. Rosalie Bertell, HAARP is part of a integrated weapons’ system, which has potentially devastating environmental consequences: “It is related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere. . . The ability of the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver a very large amount of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and particle beams, are frightening. The project is likely to be “sold” to the public as a space shield against incoming weapons, or, for the more gullible, a device for repairing the ozone layer. In addition to weather manipulation, HAARP has a number of related uses: “HAARP could contribute to climate change by intensively bombarding the atmosphere with high-frequency rays… Returning low-frequency waves at high intensity could also affect people’s brains, and effects on tectonic movements cannot be ruled out.” (Michel Chossudovsky, 2000) International concerns over HAARP and sister projects deploying similar energy beams have continued unabated for over a decade.  The most recent developments and proposals are not encouraging:

“The U.S. military’s Joint Vision 2020 report shamelessly documents its desire to establish “full spectrum dominance” over the Earth. “U.S. Space Command confirmed that Vision 2020 was its current policy, but a spokesman said it was in the process of being updated,” Britain’s Independent newspaper reported a year ago. The Independent article’s thesis was obvious—the United States is becoming a “rogue” state isolated from its Western European allies. “What is clear is that part of the money voted to Bush’s Star Wars plan will be used for research into space-based lasers,” the Independent reported. “These, we are told, will be used to shoot down the missiles fired in anger by ‘rogue states.’ But they will, inevitably, evolve into weapons aimed at America’s enemies from space. U.S. Space Command doesn’t even bother to hide this fact. The most chilling illustration in Vision 2020 is of such a space-based laser firing a beam of energy at the earth.” Earlier this year, U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich told Alive that Vision 2020 is already an ongoing military program to experiment with directed energy. On November 9 last year, Carol R. Schuster, director for defense capabilities and management of the General Accounting Office (GAO), briefed the Democratic minority members of the House Armed Services Committee on Joint Vision 2020. Schuster explained, “Joint Vision 2020 also emphasizes the importance of experimentation to identify innovations in warfighting.” (MC) A task force of DOD, U.S. Joint Forces Command, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff continues to investigate and impliment means of deploying electronic weaponry capable of destroying any opposition by 2020.

“Schuster confirmed Kucinich’s comments in a report detailing that “the Joint Requirements Oversight Council plays a key role” in advancing Vision 2020, and that “U.S. Joint Forces Command conducts experiments on new warfighting concepts and operations.” “In 1998, the U.S. Joint Forces Command began to implement a joint experimentation program to test new warfighting concepts that now support Joint Vision 2020,” Schuster reported. The HAARP program is jointly administered by the U.S. Navy and Air Force and is a central part of the Vision 2020 strategy. A February 1990 HAARP Joint Service program plan drafted by the Air Force’s Geophysical Laboratory and the Navy’s Office of Naval Research documents the plan’s military applications: The document indicates that HAARP will be used, among other things, for generating extremely low-frequency waves for submerged submarine communication and possible weather warfare applications, and for attempts to take advantage of natural ionospheric processes by directing energy through the ionosphere and back to Earth.  The Russians and some European allies are worried that the U.S. military’s experiments focusing large amounts of high-frequency energy for military purposes could theoretically trigger earthquakes. In April 1992, Defense News reported that the U.S. deployed an electromagnetic pulse weapon during Operation Desert Storm.” (Fitrakis, 2002) Guy Kramer has suggested the HAARP array may be used to bounce deadly signals off the ionosphere and moon to target sites on Earth with major explosions, virtually eliminating the need for tactical nuclear weapons.

This military array in Alaska and others like it around the world have the potential to deliver an equivalent nuclear detonation to a long-range target without warning, without the missile and without the radiation. One of 12 U.S. HAARP patents is titled: U.S. Patent 4873928: Nuclear-Sized  Explosions Without Radiation. The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a congressionally initiated program jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force  and U.S. Navy. Using 3 gigawatts of power (3 billion watts) from a 23-acre site in Gakona, Alaska, it is considered the most powerful array on Earth.  Another ability of an array such as HAARP could be used to heat radiate people within a large yet distant target, even a buried underground bunker or cave network. This would minimize public and international opposition to such a response as the effects, although not as visual as tactical nuclear detonations, provides a similar broad termination of targets. The world may not even realize anything had happened and thus large-scale enemy losses in one location without physical munitions detonations may be played down  or passed off as conventional combat or Special Forces action.

“The trick to using such a weapon with underground targets is to find the target in the first place. The same array that may be used to deliver the effect can also be used to penetrate deep into the ground to find the target. HAARP can in effect be used for Earth-penetrating tomography, which can reveal the existence of underground installations. The HAARP complex consists of 180 towers, 72 feet in height, forming a “high-power, high frequency phased array radio transmitter”. Military applications of HAARP include long-range ground penetration radar, over the horizon radar, submarine communication. The basics for Ground penetration or target neutralization is to use the antenna array to target and heat the ionosphere in the upper atmosphere to create a lens to bounce or reflect a signal off to a target of great distance. Although some distances may be to far to reach a target if it is on the other side of the globe.”

 Moon Bounce

“In late 1998 and early 1999 the ELFRAD GROUP monitored a daily frequency from .9 to .95 hertz (pulses per second), the wavelength of this frequency was approximately 319,877km or 198,711 miles. The moon’s distance is fairly close to the wavelength. The signal appears to be a controlled signal transmitted from an unknown source at approximately the same time daily except weekends. The signal is strong enough to generate it’s third harmonic which is 2.81235 Hz. The signal has a very quick rise time and a slower decay at the end, which is usually indicative of an artificial source.  A low pass filtered showed the signal tracks very well with the magnetometers placed in various locations around the planet especially those in the northern area.  Lets pick apart the data above. A Ultra Low Frequency signal in late 1998 through early 1999 from an unknown source which occurs only on week days, powerful enough to create a third harmonic wave, with a quick rise slow decay which tracks better with magnetometers in the North and a wavelength approximately matching the distance to the moon. The answer seems apparen: HAARP or a similar array in the North is bouncing signals off the Moon back to the Earth.

“Why would you want to bounce signals off the Moon? To reach targets around the world you could design a floating mobile HAARP that would have to equal the surface area of five large aircraft  carriers or 8 super tankers tied together costing billions of dollars, or you could  use a stationary permanent array such as HAARP and use the moon as a  reflector to effectively bounce your signals anywhere on Earth given mutual Moon visibility between the source and the target! Ham radio enthusiasts call this reflection technique EME  (Earth-Moon-Earth) or Moonbounce, and have been utilizing the moon with High Frequencies since the 1950′s to communicate around the world. HAARP can transmit both Low and High Frequencies.

“It is rumored that Israel has access to a similar array, which would increase mutual moon visibility in the Middle East region for Moonbounce transmission, but proximity to any targets in this area might be close enough to an Israeli array that Ionosphere reflection might be possible around the clock.  Tactical Nuclear retaliation by the U.S. during the War on Terrorism is in effect obsolete, given that the Americans could tactically strike with a geophysics array producing similar damage associated with nuclear detonation, without the long term detrimental effects and downwind radioactive fallout. Other alternative uses of the array such as radiating transmissions may provide similar biological target termination without any blast effects. Moonbounce techniques also mean that a stationary array can in effect target anywhere on the Earth.  Star Wars now seems an appropriate term for this particular Strategic Defense Initiative using HAARP to utilize the Moon as a potential Death Star!” (Ref. Elfrad Group, http://www.elfrad.com/Moon.htm)

PRIVATELY DETECTING SR SIGNALS

Hans Michlmayr, has developed several homespun antennae for detecting and measuring Schumann frequencies under 50Hz from fairly common materials, such as PVC pipe, electrical conduit, acrylic sheet, copper wire, steel flat bar, and threaded rod. One is simply a loop in the ground, made with 40-core telephone cable buried in a 400mm deep trench.  The shape is a 25×53 meter rectangle.  He found the horizontal array need a vertical polarization to be effective for detection of these subtle signals.

After a couple of tries using an antenna core made of 100-pair telephone cable with a 200 turn coil, he produced a more “professional” large induction coil, since the prior one was to sensitive to wind which distorted the signal.  In all of his successful models, the signal is processed and buffered for output, monitoring, recording, and analyzing.  Interference-free reception was more difficult than he first imagined; antennae need to be far removed from power lines.  He finally achieved reception unaffected by the weather, but not by interference during the day.  At night he could record clean spectra.  He used a coil of 30,000 turns of wire, but found one used by a colleague of 100,000 turns to be even more sensitive
http://members.iinet.net.au/~ajbv/magnetic/Magnetic.html.  A steel core was the key to making the antenna receptive to weak Schumann’s signals.  The particulars of construction with illustrations are included at these web sites.

***Ben Lonetree, electrical engineer, http://sidereal7.com has also done extensive monitoring of SR frequencies and Earth’s electromagnetic fields in Sedona, Arizona [INTERVIEW granted 3-29-03]

VOICE OF THE PLANET: SR AND THE MINDBODY

The range of SR frequencies are related mathematically, but are not true harmonics. Perhaps it is closer to think of SR as the “Voice of the Planet,” rather than its heartbeat, which is around the 10Hz. Cycle (Lonetree). There is a harmonic relationship between the earth and our mind/bodies.  Earth’s low frequency isoelectric field, the magnetic field of the earth, and the electrostatic field that emerges from our bodies are closely interwoven.  Our internal rhythms interact with external rhythms, affecting our balance, REM patterns, health, and mental focus.  SR waves probably help regulate our bodies’ internal clocks, affecting sleep/dream patterns, arousal patterns, and hormonal secretion.

The rhythms and pulsations of the human brain mirror those of the resonant properties of the terrestrial cavity, which functions as a waveguide.  This natural frequency pulsation is not a fixed number, but an average of global readings, much like EEG is an average of brainwave readings.  SR actually fluctuates, like brainwaves, due to geographical location, lightning, solar flares, atmospheric ionization and daily cycles.

“I believe that interplanetary and even interstellar magnetic fields are very important for conscious life.  I just worked a little model for old observation about correlation of anomalous cognition performance with sidereal time: it is best during two-hour interval, around 13.30 sidereal time. Explanation involves magnetic flux tubes coming from galactic center (dipole like part of the field) and forming a part of galactic central nervous system. Model fixes the strength of field and its direction: and galactic magnetic field can satisfy the constraints. The noise level of Earth’s magnetic field is also important and must be low for anomalous cognition.

A wide range of EM waves, in particular  microwaves and radiowaves, should be a key element in homeostasis,  in remote mental interaction both inside body. In the usual sense, sensory representations on magnetic body and magnetosphere are essentially based on remote mental interactions and also biocontrol to the remote mental interactions between cells and other structures. Quantum computing is based on new view about information and quantum jump. Biosystems are especially attractive candidates for performers of quantum computation-like processes. The binding of molecules by lock and key mechanism in basic processes by living matter and the binding of information molecules to receptors is a special case of this process. All these processes might involve new physics not taken into account in the standard physics-based biochemistry.

Also neural circuits would be formed around plasmons and the body would be accompanied by magnetic circulation. Plasmons would be basic building bricks of topologically quantized dipolar magnetic fields.   Even Earth’s magnetic field could be seen as consisting of these kinds of structures; knotting, linking, and complex twisting must be involved with the process which eventually leads to the change of magnetic polarity”. (Pitkanin, 12-19-02)Kindling is a term applied, in particular, to the entrainment of neurons in the brain.  They are ignited in coherent global patterns producing larger waves across a greater surface of the brain.  It becomes obvious that in deep meditation, when waves of alpha and theta rhythms cascade across the entire brain, it is possible for the human being and the planet to come into resonance.  There is a transfer of energy and information, which is embedded in a field rather than being a field.  Perhaps the planet communicates with us in this primal language of frequencies.

Ample anthropological evidence shows that humans have intuitively synchronized with the planetary resonance throughout human history and back into the mists of time.  There is cross-cultural evidence demonstrating a variety of ritualistic practices that enhance this harmonization with the planetary field.  Perhaps the most obvious “drivers” of these trance states are shamanic drumming and trance dance, arguably employed for over 50,000 years.  Pulsing or flickering light is another driver.  A further example comes from use in both the Jewish and Muslim faiths of bobbing and swaying while praying or reading holy books.

This trancing phenomenon can be presumed to ingrain texts at a deeper level and to create “experiences” to go along with conceptual indoctrination.  It may also be linked in some manner to hypnotic gesturing (mudras) and speech, and therefore to charisma or so-called “mana” personalities.  As part of their chronicling of personality formation, Mead and Bateson reported a technique transmitted to Balinese children that this culture intuitively employed to harmonize their communities. They discovered that the parents encouraged their children to vibrate parts of their body, harmonizing to the SR cycle.

Anyone can do the same thing and may already be doing it unconsciously. If you sit in a chair and move your foot so that it’s resting on the ball of the foot, and you get it at the right angle, your whole leg will start to vibrate. It goes into an oscillation. That oscillation is so close to the SR cycle as to be virtually the same. And that’s what Balinese parents encouraged their children to do. It helps them go into trance.

If we look into a classroom of children, we notice that the children are never sitting still. Teachers and parents become annoyed, constantly telling them to “Sit still!”  They are constantly bouncing their legs; and moving their arms. This may be a natural way to energize our bodies.  And this may even be the heart and soul of many ceremonial experiences. The body begins to move, and hands begin to flutter. The hands of a healer are typically fluttering at some point in a healing session.  In older ceremonial practices, where there is less constraint or inhibitions, the whole body is often shaking, fluttering, or in constant motion.

For example, in the Kalahari Bushmen healing dance someone is infused with life energy.  Every part of their body becomes aroused, hot, and begins shaking.  When they grab another person and hug them, that person also begins shaking and may turn and grab someone else.  One by one, everyone begins literally to vibrate with this pulsing energy. However, by the time it gets to our culture or other contemporary cultures (like Chinese medicine), this phenomenon becomes very constrained and expresses through more subtle practices, such as “therapeutic entrainment,” (the empathic rapport of physician or healer and client).

Anyone can intentionally induce this healing/energizing frequency.  There are all kinds of little tricks and techniques for inducing it, rather than just one right way.  It is a very natural capacity our bodies are intuitively capable of effecting, vibrating with the pulse of life itself.  The purpose of this movement is to get outside the limitations and constraints of isolated individual mind and connect with something greater.  It has any number of names but this “greater Mind” links us to one another and to nature as a whole. (Keeney, 1997)

C.M. Anderson, M.D. (1998) of Harvard describes a commonly experienced yet little-understood phenomenon he calls the “Persistent Oscillatory Sound.”  Many people notice this internally-generated ‘sound,’ particularly when ill or dehydrated, as it seems to become “louder.”  It sounds like an insect hum.  Anderson links it, as well as to the REM or dream state and Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTDS) to the normal alpha 10Hz rhythmicity, as cited by I. Miller (2001):

“Anderson speaks of the disturbing effect of lights and sounds, which might result from loss of normal global habituation due to RF destabilization, resulting in fear and/or rage. Again, trauma and drug abuse history is strongly associated with asymmetric hemispheric function.  Temporal lobe structures such as the hippocampus and amygdala are particularly sensitive to the effects of child abuse and trauma.

“Anderson conjectures the oscillatory sound could indicate rapid shifting or cycling of attentional resources between the left and right hemispheres, downshifting the normally constant 10 Hz rhythmicity of the olivocerebellar system.  This oscillatory auditory effect may function as an auditory driver.  The downshift effect may indicate possible flooding of the left hemisphere by material from the uninhibited right which takes over primary conscious focus.  This sets the stage, along with phasic fluctuations of the S-Net and uninhibited PGO, for the sudden onset of the SOC state and the waking dream period.

“Anderson alludes to “waking dreams as a healing journey through the fractal hyperspace of emotionally indexed childhood memories.”    He asserts that “the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a critical neural substrate of the waking dream stage as fractal neural bursting in this subcortical cortex-like structure may represent access points in a fractal hyperspace of emotionally indexed memories.”

“The effects of early trauma on the development of the amygdala and other temporal lobe structures may interfere with its normal bilateral function during REM-sleep mediated consolidation of emotionally significant events.  The recall of traumatic childhood experiences in adults, due to the immaturity of limbic structures at the time of trauma, may require electrical stimulation or intensive PGO-like activity present during the oneiric state.  Habitual disruption of normal sleep processes by stress associated with combat, bereavement, divorce, child abuse, neglect or chronic drug abuse interferes with the natural restorative function of phasic REM processes.” 

IMPLICATIONS AND DIRECTIONS

Further research on these electromagnetic relationships is essential, perhaps even to our psychophysical survival as a species.  They affect our minds, the cellular and genetic structure of our bodies, our sleep and dream cycles, our emotions, perhaps even our spirit.  Monitoring and collating these effects of atmospheric tampering and their potential influence on the ionosphere and SR, therefore human brainwaves and health, should be continued.  We are approaching the end of the current sunspot cycle, and should use an entire 11 year cycle to acquire accurate data results, as Hainsworth suggested (see last issue).

A team of researchers and physicists, including these authors, is pulling together some relevant data under the auspices of the Journal of Non-Local and Remote Mental Interactions (JNLRMI) at edited by physicist Lian Sidorov.  A major hypothesis of this group is that EM fields outside of the body are crucial for our consciousness.  Finnish physicist Matti Pikanen has developed a model of physics, called Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD), highlighting the close relationship of human physiology with SR and other ELF and electromagnetic patterns.

Pitkanen believes that not only global, but interplanetary and interstellar magnetic fields are of great importance for conscious life.  His explanations involve magnetic flux tubes, a dipole-like part of a field.  A wide range of EM waves, in particular microwaves and radiowaves are likely key elements in homeostasis, remote mental interactions between cells and other structures, and sensory representation, as well as in remote mental interactions both within and outside of the body.  He explains that the noise level of Earth’s magnetic field must be low for anomalous cognition (also called psi or ESP) to occur.  Alan Frey suggested similar field notions decades ago, speaking specifically of microwave range inputs.

These EM fields are only correlates of consciousness.  Still, TGD allows the possibility of assigning someone’s field body a topological field quanta identity.  Pitkanin also suggests these fields and waves are influential when biological systems perform quantum computation-like processes.  His biophysics suggests that neural circuits and molecules are bound by lock and key mechanisms through this process of magnetic circulation (topologically quantized diploar magnetic fields).

Pitkanen even sees Earth’s magnetic field as a quantized dipolar magnetic field interaction of knotting, linking, and complex twisting. TGD views the brain and nervous system as a sensory organ for our extended, electromagnetic selves, which have a length scale at least the size of the Earth’s diameter. He suggests further that psi phenomena and distant healing may involve transfer of specific electromagnetic frequencies through Planck-length wormholes and join-along boundaries postulated by TGD, which would allow for the near-instant transfer of information.

[T]he magnetic sensory canvas hypothesis provides a mechanism for “sharing qualia” associated with distant points on the geomagnetic sphere – essentially a form of cognitive entanglement between operator and target.  One clear advantage of TGD over other models of subtle energy transmission is that the EM fields are not directly carried from sender to target, but are simultaneously generated at the two locations by a vacuum (geometrical) current: hence they remain coherent while bypassing the paradox of non-attenuation with distance. . .the illusion of our locality is perpetuated by the data fed to us by our senses – that is, those perceptions we are habituated to pay attention to. (Sidorov, JNLRMI) Other research suggests the fundamental interaction of internal and external fields is the right track.  Joseph Jacobson (2002) at MIT, found a way to switch cells off and on with radio waves.  His team also “unzipped” and manipulated DNA with a radio-frequency pulse.  The same approach worked on proteins as well, and proteins orchestrate nearly all cellular chemical processes.  Further, physicist Peter Gariaev has proposed a wave-based genome, whose main information channel is the same for both biophotons and radio waves (see www.emergentmind.org).

In 1973, Miller, Webb and Dickson described DNA as a holographic projector (see “Embroyonic Holography”).  In other words, genes encode and express themselves via light and radio waves, or acoustical holography (see “Quantum Bioholography”, Miller, Miller and Webb, JNLRMI , 2002). Delocalized interference patterns create calibration fields (blueprints) for our bodies’ space-time organization. The system works as a biocomputer — a wave biocomputer.  DNA can also function as a gel-like liquid crystal, emitting a weak laser-like light that can be converted into an electro-acoustic signal.

In conclusion, Miller and Miller postulate, along with others that,

1.The organization of all biological systems is established by complex electrodynamic fields.  We are fundamentally electromagnetic, rather than chemical beings.  Wave interaction is a key determinant of biological structure and optimal functioning.  Biosystems are sensitive to natural and artificial electromagnetic fields.  Perturbations in environmental fields can induce changes in organisms informed by those fields.  Field frequencies and amplitudes affect our biodynamic state.

2. ELF frequencies of Schumann’s Resonance are intimately linked with those of human brainwaves.  Natural or artificially induced changes in SR could affect subtle and perhaps gross brainwave generation.  In particular, it could lead to changes in patterns and frequencies of resonance and resulting phenomena such as homeostasis, REM, psi, and healing.

For a decade, Robert Beck researched the brain wave activity of healers from all cultures and religious backgrounds (he enumerates psychics, shamans, dowsers, Christian healers, seers, ESP readers, kahuna, Santeria, wicca practitioners and others).  Independent of their belief systems, each exhibited “nearly identical EEG signatures” during their “healing” moments: a 7.8-8Hz brainwave activity, which lasted from one to several seconds and which was “phase and frequency-synchronized with the earth’s geoelectric micropulsations – the Schumann resonance”. (Sidorov, JNLRMI) Liquid crystals (DNA, brain ventricles, and cellular structures) in the human body may operate as antennae for detecting and decoding such global and local ELF signals.  Beal (1996) proposes that liquid crystals (which are an intrinsic part of cell membranes) act as a detector/amplifier/memory storage device for ELF EM patterns in the environment.  Proteins, tend to orient themselves in the 10-Hx resonant EMF, so would be extremely sensitive to ELF changes in the 10Hz region.  A coherent wave-field may emerge from the body’s own liquid crystal (LC) matrix.]

The very structure and organization of living tissues is, however, itself regulated by that master molecule, the DNA. The genetic system (consisting, to be more accurate, of an equidirectional translation function which may start equally well with DNA, RNA or protein) reveals itself as a complex, multidimensional code with both local (codon) and global (context), material (nucleotide) and field-like (EM hologram) parameters, all of which are mutually interdependent and at the same time subject to external, environmental influences. (Sidorov, JNLRMI ) 3. There is a strong correlation between behavioral disturbances in humans and periods of solar and geomagnetic field turbulence. Conversely, studies show that subjects living in isolation from geomagnetic rhythms over long periods of time developed increasing irregularities and chaotic physiological rhythms – which were dramatically restored after the introduction of a very weak 10Hz electrical field.  Early astronauts suffered until SR generators were installed in their spacecrafts.

4. Geomagnetic anomalies (tectonic strain, earthlights, geomagnetic field perturbations) can induce some forms of anomalous cognition – such as auditory and visual hallucinations, and TLTs (temporal lobe transients or small seizures).  Also, one of the effects of meditation is to “quiet the mind” as a method of allowing the “free-run” (or silent thalamic periods) to become entrained by natural geophysical rhythms. This form of tuning or “magnetoreception” is mediated by the pineal gland, (30% of its cells are magnetically sensitive), and organic magnetite-containing tissues. Persinger (1989) points out that deep temporal lobe activity exists in equilibrium with the global geomagnetic condition. When there is a sudden decrease in geomagnetic activity, there appears to be an enhancement of processes that facilitate psi reception, especially telepathy and clairvoyance. Increases in geomagnetic activity may suppress pineal melatonin levels and contribute to reductions of cortical seizure thresholds. Indeed, melatonin is correlated with temporal lobe- related disorders such as depression and seizures. (Krippner)

5. Optimal global ELF (calm night; low sunspot activity; low EM pollution) conditions can facilitate anomalous cognitions, including psi such as ESP, remote viewing, and remote healing. [P]si is always present in space and time, waiting to be accessed by crisis, emotion, or by optimal laboratory stimulus parameters. Geomagnetic activity may affect the detection capacity of the brain for this information, especially the neural pathways that facilitate the consolidation and conscious access to this information. Without this geomagnetic activity, awareness of the psi stimulus might not be as likely and the brain’s “latent reserve capacities” would not be utilized. (Krippner) Sidorov (2001) and others have suggested that human intent functions as a variable window of transmission/reception in the exchange of extrasensory information, possibly within the range of ELF electromagnetic frequencies.  Brain synchronization with Schumann’s Resonance of both sender and receiver facilitates psi, or “therapeutic entrainment,” amplifying, re-radiating coherent waveforms derived from the environment, simulating the wave pattern of the environment.  Sidorov further hypothesizes,

[B]rainvawes (particularly in the alpha range) can be transmitted along the perineural system (or via Frohlich excitation) to any distal parts of the body, and even to adjacent organisms, via ELF EM waves. These frequencies can be amplified by closely-related Schumann resonance waves, or by feedback mechanisms typical of the body’s physiological pathways (akin to immunologic and neuroendocrinologic cascades). In turn, these basic frequencies can re-activate stalled healing processes, enhance growth, accelerate immune responses, and generally “jump-start” functions inherent to the body’s tissues, by “rebalancing its energies” (according to Oriental medicine) or (in Beal’s terminology) by re-configuring the liquid crystal orientation of cell membrane components and thus triggering specific intracellular responses. We are proposing, along with Pitkanin and Sidorov, that the Schumann resonance may be the substrate for a radar-type extrasensory perception mechanism common to all living beings. Like water bouncing off of rocks and other submerged objects, this non-specific frequency is absorbed and re-radiated in unique interference patterns by all objects it encounters. This interference pattern is a composite of external and internal properties, as the constituent atoms, molecules and their global assembly all re-transmit this energy according to their specific configurations. Not only that, but the “sounding waves” can be frequency and pattern modulated by conscious intent in order to yield specific information (interference patterns). Decoded by the brain they return almost instantly on the “back” of the Schumann Resonance.

Once recaptured, the patterns are then decoded by the brain. In this Fourier-type transformation the information is translated into conscious data, much like other sensory processing. Conversely, specific effects may be imprinted as bioinformation and made to exercise a “mysterious action at a distance”, once the signal wave reaches the target.   That pattern, in turn, may, under the right (“pre-requisite”) global conditions, avoid routine dissipation and become instead coupled to the dominating (“state-of-consciousness”) standing wave that is picked up and carried by the Schumann resonance. Mental intent may function as a variable window of transmission/reception in the exchange of extrasensory information. Tuned into the Schumann resonance, it may carry such bio-regulating information to distant targets and act as a primitive, radar-type sensory interface. All these and more mechanisms depend on the SR frequencies staying within their median range.

In a prior, “first-thoughts” essay discussing the presence of Schumann frequencies in the EEG during various healing practices we had proposed that mental intent might function as a variable window of transmission/ reception in the exchange of extrasensory information, which tuned into the Schumann resonance to carry such bio-regulating information to distant targets and acted as a primitive, radar-type sensory interface (Sidorov 2001). However, pursuing this line of thought soon lead to the landmark experiments of Robert Becker – who, it became evident, had not only reached somewhat similar conclusions based on his own body of evidence, but had gone beyond them to suggest that such subtle currents could reach far deeper into our genetic and consciousness control mechanisms. After nearly eight decades of EEG and other brain imaging studies, it is sobering to realize that we still can’t tell with certainty where EEG voltages come from (Becker 1985, pp 88). It is conceivable that Becker’s perineural system and/or the LC – liquid crystal matrix of the organism (including, but not limited to, connective tissues, cell membranes and DNA) might act as a full-body array of sensory receptors for Pitkanen’s magnetic sensory canvas signals, with specific excitations patterns coding for different types of information.

[T]he body’s ubiquitous liquid crystal arrays and their almost infinite configuration possibilities make them a top candidate for the primary sensory receptors parapsychology has been looking for. It is even conceivable that DNA phase-conjugation properties (see Popp and Chang, 1998) allow it to function as a multi-mode antenna, altering its function according to surrounding signal fields and possibly acting not just as a regulatory program, but also an element of “extrasensory” perception. Sidorov) As human beings we have extraordinary potentials we have hardly begun to study much less understand.  Creative gifts, intuitions, and talents that are unpredictable or emergent may become stabilized in generations to come.  Hopefully, we can learn to understand both our emergence from an essentially electromagnetic environment and facilitate our potential for healing, growth and non-local communication.

A tremendous amount of money has been spent on HAARP and its allied projects (such as the proposed Star Wars missile defense program) without a complementary sum going toward research about potential hazards.  The costs in both dollars and ruined lives could be staggering compared to any potential benefits derived from such programs.  For epochs, Schumann Resonances have provided the orchestrating pulse for life on the planet — our planetary heartbeat, which sets the tempo for health and well-being.  But now the very heart of the planet is in jeopardy, according to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) signed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro:

“States have… in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, the (…) responsibility to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction.” It is also worth recalling that an international Convention ratified by the UN General Assembly in 1997 bans “military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects.” Both the US and the Soviet Union were signatories to the Convention. The Convention defines “‘environmental modification techniques’ as referring to any technique for changing–through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes–the dynamics, composition or structure of the earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere or of outer space.”  Why then did the UN –disregarding the 1977 ENMOD Convention as well as its own charter– decide to exclude from its agenda climatic changes resulting from military programs?

In February 1998, responding to a report of Mrs. Maj. Britt Theorin –Swedish MEP and longtime peace advocate–, the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defense Policy held public hearings in Brussels on the HAARP program. The Committee’s “Motion for Resolution” submitted to the European Parliament: “Considers HAARP… by virtue of its far-reaching impact on the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and ethical implications to be examined by an international independent body…; [the Committee] regrets the repeated refusal of the United States Administration… to give evidence to the public hearing …into the environmental and public risks [of] the HAARP program.” The Committee’s request to draw up a “Green Paper” on “the environmental impacts of military activities”, however, was casually dismissed on the grounds that the European Commission lacks the required jurisdiction to delve into “the links between environment and defense”. Brussels was anxious to avoid a showdown with Washington. While there is no concrete evidence of HAARP having been used, scientific findings suggest that it is at present fully operational. What this means is that HAARP could potentially be applied by the US military to selectively modify the climate of an “unfriendly nation” or “rogue state” with a view to destabilizing its national economy. Agricultural systems in both developed and developing countries are already in crisis as a result of New World Order policies including market deregulation, commodity dumping, etc. Amply documented, IMF and World Bank “economic medicine” imposed on the Third World and the countries of the former Soviet block has largely contributed to the destabilization of domestic agriculture. In turn, the provisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have supported the interests of a handful of Western agri-biotech conglomerates in their quest to impose genetically modified (GMO) seeds on farmers throughout the World.

It is important to understand the linkage between the economic, strategic and military processes of the New World Order. In the above context, climatic manipulations under the HAARP program (whether accidental or deliberate) would inevitably exacerbate these changes by weakening national economies, destroying infrastructure and potentially triggering the bankruptcy of farmers over vast areas. Surely national governments and the United Nations should address the possible consequences of HAARP and other “non-lethal weapons” on climate change. (Michel Chossudovsky, 2000) Hopefully we will come to appreciate this fully before our technology drives the planet so far from the norm that the trajectory of human evolution is altered forever.  Thus, the study of the relationship of our bodies, the electromagnetic environment and interaction with potentially planet-altering technology is more important than ever to understand on the subtlest levels. It seems mankind now has the daunting task of determining whether the ionosphere and SR will remain alive or dead – whether the Voice of the Planet will continue to sing out or not.
