This is one of many such investigations that proved the Source Field is almost certainly not electromagnetic (EM). Every scientist knows EM waves cannot penetrate through lead-lined enclosures, copper-screened Faraday cages and/or shielded rooms.
Backster’s experiments with human cells made his discovery far more personal. In these experiments, Backster would obtain living cells from someone’s mouth by having him swish a little water around and spit it into a test tube. This tube was then whirled in a centrifuge, bringing the living white blood cells to the top, which Backster extracted with an eyedropper. The cells were then placed into a tiny one-milliliter test tube and electroded with very thin gold wires.31 These living samples could survive this way for “ten to twelve hours,”32 giving high-quality reactions the entire time.
My favorite example of Backster’s work with human cells was performed with NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O’Leary in 1988, who served on the faculties of Cornell University, California Institute of Technology, University of California and Princeton University. O’Leary brought an ex–lady friend along to the lab and apparently they had a strong argument—which “provided ample opportunity for him to witness firsthand extremely high quality chart reactions.”33 O’Leary then left for the San Diego airport so he could fly back to Phoenix, Arizona—some three hundred miles away. He synchronized watches with Backster, and his cells were monitored in the lab the entire time.
It was previously agreed that [Dr. O’Leary] would keep an accurate log of events which might have caused him momentary anxiety. These included missing a turn on the freeway while returning his rental car to the airport, nearly missing his flight because of the long line at the ticket counter, his flight’s departure and landing in Phoenix, his son’s failure to meet him on time at the airport, and a number of other logged events. Later when comparisons were made by transferring the logged events to the appropriate portions of the chart recording, there was a good correlation between chart reactions and nearly all of the perceived anxieties. His chart became very quiet after he returned home and retired for the evening.34
I discussed this experiment with Dr. O’Leary over a private dinner in Zurich, Switzerland, while we were both speaking at a conference—and he confirmed to me how amazed he was by it. His own mind was broadcasting waves of information that were being picked up by his living cells in a lab three hundred miles away. The effect works just as well if the cells are kept in shielded rooms, again proving the signals are not being transmitted by electromagnetic energy. There is something “out there,” some energy field, that allows our thoughts to propagate through space—even over vast distances. The implications of this are stunning—particularly when you start to consider how it seems that every living thing in nature is listening to everything else. We are definitely not excluded from this process.
I’ve lectured on this subject a number of times, and invariably the audience groans when they find out that vegetables, fruits, yogurt, eggs and the living cells in raw meat are all “screaming” when they are cooked and/or eaten. Even hard-core vegan/vegetarian/raw foodists who consider themselves to be on a “cruelty-free” diet are now faced with the fact that the food they eat must go through measurable distress—at least from a human’s perspective. Even if you do not cook your vegetables, your digestive activity still has a “burning” effect. Backster did tell me that if you “pray” over your food, by sending it positive, loving thoughts, it then seems to accept its role in helping you stay alive—and these severe reactions no longer occur on the graph paper.35 Many cultures and spiritual traditions encourage us to “thank our food.” With Backster’s research we now see that this seemingly unimportant behavior—from a scientific standpoint—has a definite purpose in our new model.
Free Energy—and the Consequences
At this same Zurich conference, Dr. Brian O’Leary revealed a wealth of information suggesting “free energy” devices have been invented, again and again, but are invariably suppressed by corporate power brokers. According to the Institute for New Energy, as of 1997, “the U.S. Patent Office has classified over 3,000 patent devices or applications under the secrecy order, Title 35, U.S. Code (1952) Sections 181-188.”36 The Federation of American Scientists revealed that by the end of Fiscal Year 2010, this number had ballooned to 5,135 inventions—and included “review and possible restriction” on any solar cell with greater than twenty percent efficiency, or any power system that is more than seventy to eighty percent efficient at converting energy.37 According to Dr. O’Leary, some researchers are bought off and their discoveries put on a shelf. Others are threatened into submission, while others die under strange circumstances. Dr. O’Leary then brought me up onstage for a panel discussion, and he mentioned how Dr. Stefan Marinov—“the head of the European free energy movement”—allegedly jumped to his death from the tenth story of the library building at the University of Graz in Austria. Marinov flew out of the window backward, as if he had been shoved. And according to Dr. O’Leary, “He left no suicide note, and he was one of the most positive, highly spirited persons I’ve ever met.”38 O’Leary also mentioned Dr. Eugene Mallove, arguably the world’s leading figure in alternative energy research, during this same time.
Overwhelmed with emotion, I actually burst into tears onstage in front of this four-hundred-person audience while I discussed my own personal experience with Dr. Mallove. I’m sure you could have measured a huge electrical surge in the plants that were around me onstage when this happened. Dr. Mallove started out as the head science writer for Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s own journal. Mallove claimed he was ordered to suppress research into cold fusion—during which they had gotten positive results suggesting free energy was being generated from the reaction.39 From there, he quit his job and went on to start Infinite Energy Magazine40—and became arguably the top coordinator, publisher and liaison for alternative-energy inventors worldwide.
On May 15, 2004, I was a featured guest on an episode of Coast to Coast, the largest nighttime talk-radio program in the United States, with Art Bell and Richard Hoagland.41 I found out a few days before airtime that Dr. Mallove was going to come on as our surprise special guest. We were about to make a stunning announcement: Hoagland and Mallove were going to visit Washington, D.C., the following week, and bring along a working, tabletop free-energy device. This device apparently would begin spinning by simply being stared at and did not use any conventional power source. I wasn’t sure how it worked but it sounded fascinating—and I knew such things were theoretically possible from the Source Field investigations I had been doing already. Hoagland had lined up meetings with various senators and congressmen to demonstrate the device—and push for these breakthroughs to be released to the public for study and commercial application.
Less than twenty-four hours before we were about to go live on the air, Dr. Mallove was bludgeoned to death outside his parents’ home.42 I found it quite suspicious that this happened right before the announcement to the public of Dr. Mallove’s secret device—and of his imminent political mission to Capitol Hill.
Certain groups do appear to have a serious, vested interest in suppressing the Source Field Investigations. I am aware that any discussion of these issues invariably gets you labeled as a “paranoid nutcase,” but the events surrounding the death of Dr. Mallove have made it much more personal for me.
Regardless of the skepticism, sarcasm, ridicule, humiliation, and threats that may be associated with the Source Field investigations, there is real truth to be found—hard science you need to know, today, to help make a brighter future for everyone. And best of all, these discoveries are very positive—ultimately proving that most people’s idea of a loving God is, in fact, alive and well.
CHAPTER TWO
Consciousness, Eternity and Universal Mind
We are on a quest to discover if a Source Field really does exist—and our investigation is starting to uncover surprising information. Dr. Cleve Backster’s research gives the co
mpelling suggestion that all living things—bacteria, plants, insects, animals, birds, fish and humans—are in some form of constant communication with one another. This communication involves the use of a field that is not supposed to exist—because it cannot be found in the conventional electromagnetic spectrum of visible light, radio waves, infrared, microwaves, X-rays, and others. Furthermore, Backster is only one of a variety of hypnosis researchers who have discovered that we can become completely unaware of signals in our environment if we are simply told, while in trance, that we will not be able to see or hear them. If all living things are sharing a constant, psychic attunement with one another, perhaps our minds deliberately screen out most of this information for our own sanity.
In Mexico, there lived a remarkable female healer known as Pachita—born Barbara Guerrero—who was a practitioner of psychic healing. Pachita discovered in childhood that she had a profound healing ability, and practiced it on animals while she worked as a high-wire acrobat for the circus. She later fought alongside Pancho Villa as a teenager, sang in cabarets and sold lottery tickets before recovering her abilities as a thirty-year-old housewife. For the next forty-seven years, she strictly avoided publicity as she practiced her skills, and helped many different people with seemingly incurable medical problems. Only in late 1977 did she become open to the idea of her talents being scientifically studied—and asked Dr. Andrija Puharich to investigate her psychic healing powers with a team of specialists from the United States.1
Carla Rueckert wrote firsthand of her healing treatment from Pachita in The Law of One, Book I.
In late 1977 and early 1978 we accompanied Dr. Andrija Puharich and his research associates to Mexico City to investigate a Mexican psychic surgeon, a seventy-eight-year-old woman called Pachita, who had been practicing for a great many years. . . . Pachita used a very dull knife with a five-inch blade. She passed it around amongst the entire research group watching to see our reactions, especially mine, since I was the guinea pig. Since her “operations” took place with me lying on my stomach I cannot give a firsthand account of what occurred, but Don informs me that the knife seemed to disappear four inches into my back and was then moved rapidly across the spine. This was repeated several times. Pachita was, she said, working on my kidneys. Again we made no attempt to conserve “evidence” as we knew that it would come to nothing. Many have attempted to research psychic surgery by analysis of its products, and have found either inconclusive results or null results, indicting that psychic surgery is a fraud.2
I was definitely curious about what this actually felt like, so that was the first thing I asked Carla when I interviewed her. Apparently the procedure did cause her very significant pain. She also said there was some blood, even though the wounds miraculously closed up as soon as Pachita withdrew the knife. I am aware this sounds crazy, but it was all witnessed by a room full of trained scientific observers.
Dr. Puharich also received a treatment from Pachita for progressive hearing loss in both ears due to otosclerosis—excess spongy bone growth. Pachita apparently stuck the tip of her blade right into each of his eardrums for about forty seconds each—causing him extreme pain—but the wounds then immediately closed up, and there was minimal bleeding and no additional pain. Though this knife trauma should have caused him permanent hearing loss, by any conventional medical understanding, he was stunned by the healing results he then achieved.
My head was ringing with loud noises. . . . I estimated them to be at the level of a New York subway train, or about 90 decibels above hearing threshold. The noise was so loud that I could not discern speech of those around me, but I had no fear that I might be going deaf as a result of the procedure. Pachita gave me a tincture (contents unknown) and told me to put one drop in each ear daily. The head noises decreased about 10 decibels each day, and by the eighth day, post operative, the noises had ceased. My hearing, however, had become so keen that telephone conversations were painful, and I had to hold the earpiece away from my head to a comfortable distance. This hyperacusia lasted for about two weeks. One month post-operative I had normal pure tone hearing in both ears.3
If Pachita was actually just a hypnotist, somehow inducing mass hallucinations, then apparently her treatments were still quite effective. Carla Rueckert described only the first of two operations she had from Pachita. The second operation was explained by Dr. Andrija Puharich in H. G. M. Herman’s book—in far more detail.
Twelve days after the aforementioned operation, Pachita was ready to perform the second operation. She had been able to obtain a human kidney from a post mortem examination. It was brought to her placed in an unsterile jar, suspended in ordinary water, and was stored in a kitchen refrigerator. On the day of the operation, Pachita lifted the kidney out of the jar with her bloody hands. She then sliced it in two longitudinally, stating that she was going to transplant each half separately. Next she plunged the knife deeply into one side of the back, twisted the knife around, and asked me to drop one kidney half into the hole. I was utterly surprised to find that the kidney in my hand was literally “sucked” into the body of the patient. When I palpated the spot where the kidney had been “sucked” in, I found that the tissue had closed immediately, there was no hole in the skin. It was awesome! In this manner both halves of the kidney were transplanted. The entire operation lasted 92 seconds. One hour afterwards the patient was able to stand. She slept well, and was urinating normally some 14 hours later. After three days she boarded a plane and flew home to the United States.4
Said the book’s author, “Andrija was convinced that Pachita’s ‘instant surgery’ was completely genuine, and that no fraud of any kind was possible under his and his colleagues’ scientific observation and documentation.” 5
Mexican Neuroscientist Enters the Twilight Zone
Whether or not these were actual surgical procedures, Pachita’s work also had a huge impact on Dr. Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum—arguably Mexico’s most controversial neuroscientist. In 1977, Grinberg took a teaching job at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City—and produced a wealth of hard scientific data on the physiology of learning and memory, visual perception and physiological psychology. That same year, Grinberg met Pachita—who completely transformed everything he thought he knew about biology, psychology and medicine. Sam Quinones described the effect Pachita had on Grinberg in a 1997 article.
According to Grinberg, [Pachita] performed successful surgery without anesthesia, using a mountain knife. She replaced diseased organs with others that appeared out of thin air. . . . Grinberg spent several months watching Pachita’s operations and talking and traveling with her. He admitted that his descriptions of her operations sounded like ravings, but he insisted he’d seen them.6
According to this same article, Grinberg ultimately wrote seven volumes on the shamans of Mexico, and had gone deeply into this type of research by the mid-1980s. Puzzled by the feats he believed he had observed Pachita performing, he theorized that there must be a “neuronal field,” as he called it, created within the brain, which in turn interacts with what he called the “pre-space structure”—a field that all space, time, matter, energy, biological life and consciousness emanates from—i.e., the Source Field. Here is how Grinberg explained it in his own words—which are admittedly technical.
The pre-space structure is a holographic, non-local lattice that has . . . the attribute of consciousness. The neuronal field [created by the brain] distorts this lattice, and activates a partial interpretation of it that is perceived as an image. Only when the brain-mind system is free from interpretations, do the neuronal field and the pre-space structure become identical. In this situation, the perception of reality is unitary, without ego and with a lack of any duality. In this situation, pure consciousness and a feeling of an all-embracing unity and luminosity is [sic] perceived. All the systems that spiritual leaders have developed . . . have had the goal of arriving at this direct perception of the pure pre-space structure. . . . The
science of consciousness that I would like to develop is a science that will try to understand, study and research the above-mentioned ideas.”7
Obviously, if such feats as Pachita’s are even possible, very few people possess such abilities. In order to awaken the world to what our true potential might be, Grinberg knew he would need to start with something very simple and repeatable. His earliest experiments in this category began in 1987. Two people, usually a male-female couple, would sit and meditate together for twenty minutes—to form a close bond with each other. They were then separated into two different rooms, each of which was shielded from any and all electromagnetic fields. Both participants’ brainwaves would begin to noticeably synchronize, even while they were apart—and Grinberg could measure it on their EEG readouts. He also found that both hemispheres within each person’s brain would show the same patterns—which normally only happens in deep meditation. Furthermore, the person who had the most coherent, well-organized brain waves seemed to always “win”—exerting a greater influence upon the other.8
In 1994, Grinberg came up with an even more compelling way to demonstrate this effect. Most of the experiment was the same—two people meditated together for twenty minutes and then went into separate, shielded rooms. Now, however, he flashed bright lights in one participant’s eyes—causing them to experience sudden shocks. Each time he ran the experiment, one hundred different flashes of light were given at random. Twenty-five percent of the time when he flashed the light in one person’s eyes, the other person had a very similar brainwave “shock”—at the exact same time. Grinberg’s control subjects did not show any such connections. This was a stunning discovery—and the results were published in the prestigious, peer-reviewed journal Physics Essays.9 A revolution in science seemed to be well under way—the Source Field was finally going mainstream, in a rigorous, clinically verifiable fashion—taking Backster’s breakthroughs to the next level.
