The Most Amazing Book I Own

This book is amazing. I actually did the Energy Wheel and made a YouTube video showing it working entitled "Pure Mind Power" can be seen under 333CreativeGirl. The author is very clear that this doesn't work for everyone and he isn't sure why is works for some and not others. Highly recommended.

in a class by itself

This is a strange and fun little book that challenges one's understanding of the world as we are told it exists. The ideas and devices discussed herein are "impossible" or "frauds" by the standards of some. The trouble is, they work! Maybe not always and for everyone, but they work often enough for some pretty level-headed engineer types like John Campbell and G. Harry Stine to be convinced. Campbell was the famous (some would say infamous) editor of Analog magazine during its heyday, and Stine worked as an engineer in the aerospace industry. I have personally used dowsing rods and they worked for me even though I didn't believe they would work at all. (It was a very strange feeling when they moved, too.)The book covers such things as pyramids, dowsing rods, energy wheels, and a couple of "strange machines" called the Hieronymus machine (after its inventor) and the Wishing Machine. It even delves into the realm of "symbolic machines," variations of these devices which work even if only the schematic is used. Stine discusses his introduction to these devices, his experiments with them, people's reactions to them, and directions/methods for further research. Although not mentioned in this book, other countries, such as the former USSR, researched such things heavily, and are rumored to have made some very strange and possibly dangerous strides in this field which they call "energetics."If you think that there is no scientific basis for any of this, you are not current in cutting-edge physics (which is in turn billions of years behind the Universe itself). The work of Myron Evans in O(3) Electrodynamics, Sach's Unified Field Theory, and Michael Leyton's work in higher dimensional symmetry, among others, give plenty of theoretical basis for these beasties to function...Those who think such things are frauds should not waste their time here. This book is for people who are rational, open-minded, and believe in the empirical part of scientific method. Try them and decide for yourself, unless you prefer to let others do all your thinking for you. Remember, all great scientific breakthroughs were fought tooth and nail by the "keepers of the status quo" of their time.This book is for people who want to push the envelope, not hide in it.

quirky but fascinating

this is a really neat little book that focuses on gadgets that you can build, along with some that you only have to draw. I have tried a few of these in the past, and for whatever reason, they work without a hitch; EVEN WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. SOME MACHINES IN THE BOOK ONLY NEED BE DRAWN, AND THEY WORK AS IF IT WAS AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTRAPTION! This book represents plans and 'machines' the author made himself, following plans from other inventors and experimenters. He mentions other curious machines and theories, but, unfortunately for all of us, did not include any of those, as he felt they were 'unverified' by him. It would have been an interesting trail to follow if he would have. (Of course, for all of us tinkerers, how would it have been if Tesla had left simpler plans for us too?). The ideas and machines in this book date from the 1950's. Even one of the 'battery-powered' ones does not need any batteries to work- just a schematic sketch of one! Strange but true.

Absolutely Fabulous

It is a rare author that writes books, that - like this one - enables its readers to expand their psychic abilities in actual, working, cost-effective ways.I have not actually physically read the book, but I build the retro-temporal text-to-mindfield converter that will be in the eighth edition of the book and using that, I transfered the plans for this device to my mind of last week, so that I could build the machine.It really works. There is no other way I could have build a retro-temporal text-to-mindfield converter as much of the science (such as macro-quantum gravity inverters) has not yet been developed.

Amazing!

Definately a "specialty" book (ie not for everyone). I have constructed most of the devices in the book and all have worked. Some of the machines were slightly technical, but easy to understand with a basic grasp for electronics. Buy it, it will be worth the twelve bucks.
