Polarity Therapy ┃ Dr. Randolph Stone
http://www.digitaldrstone.org/

"In this age of over specialization, with emphasis on chemistry, bacteriology, and mechanical and surgical research, we have lost sight of the over-all picture of man as a living being with lines of force working in fields of finer energies."

"Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND (1890-1981), was an American Osteopath born in Austria. He created Polarity Therapy as a synthesis of western medicine and eastern wisdom traditions. In his fifty years of general medical practice in Chicago, he developed a deep understanding of the subtle principles underlying wellness and disease."

"Dr. Stone's entire world-view is built on the concept of Three Principles and Five Elements. The Three Principles concept refers to Yang-Yin-Neutral (or Tao), being the continuous rhythmic circuit-flow of energy, from spirit to matter and back, that is the basis of all phenomena in the ancient Himalayan wisdom traditions as well as in modern physics. The Five Elements (Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth) concept refers to the stages of materialization, from subtle to dense and back, particularly in the context of the five chakras or energy transformers along the spine."

"Clear thinkers try to find the causes, while the average look for escapes from effects."

"Energy is the real substance behind the appearance of matter and forms."

"Life flows from above downward, and structure supports function from below upward."

"The true doctor should know Life, feel it and understand its pattern of flow, ... the same as he knows his anatomy."

"Life exists as the result of tension between two extremes - male and female - positive and negative - yang and yin - pingala and ida - right and left breath - qualitative and quantitative."

"Obstacles are God's design ~ To make a man with a spine."

An Overview of Biofield Devices
David Muehsam, PhD, Gaétan Chevalier, PhD, Tiffany Barsotti, MTh, and Blake T. Gurfein, PhD

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4654784/

"Advances in biophysics, biology, functional genomics, neuroscience, psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and other fields suggest the existence of a subtle system of “biofield” interactions that organize biological processes from the subatomic, atomic, molecular, cellular, and organismic to the interpersonal and cosmic levels. Biofield interactions may bring about regulation of biochemical, cellular, and neurological processes through means related to electromagnetism, quantum fields, and perhaps other means of modulating biological activity and information flow. The biofield paradigm, in contrast to a reductionist, chemistry-centered viewpoint, emphasizes the informational content of biological processes; biofield interactions are thought to operate in part via low-energy or “subtle” processes such as weak, nonthermal electromagnetic fields (EMFs) or processes potentially related to consciousness and nonlocality. Biofield interactions may also operate through or be reflected in more well-understood informational processes found in electroencephalographic (EEG) and electrocardiographic (ECG) data. Recent advances have led to the development of a wide variety of therapeutic and diagnostic biofield devices, defined as physical instruments best understood from the viewpoint of a biofield paradigm. Here, we provide a broad overview of biofield devices, with emphasis on those devices for which solid, peer-reviewed evidence exists. A subset of these devices, such as those based upon EEG- and ECG-based heart rate variability, function via mechanisms that are well understood and are widely employed in clinical settings. Other device modalities, such a gas discharge visualization and biophoton emission, appear to operate through incompletely understood mechanisms and have unclear clinical significance. Device modes of operation include EMF-light, EMF-heat, EMF-nonthermal, electrical current, vibration and sound, physical and mechanical, intentionality and nonlocality, gas and plasma, and other (mode of operation not well-understood). Methodological issues in device development and interfaces for future interdisciplinary research are discussed. Devices play prominent cultural and scientific roles in our society, and it is likely that device technologies will be one of the most influential access points for the furthering of biofield research and the dissemination of biofield concepts. This developing field of study presents new areas of research that have many important implications for both basic science and clinical medicine."

Rychnowski & the Eteroid ┃ Poland's Discoverer of the Life Force

https://www.infra.org.pl/2013/09/13/rychnowski-i-zagadka-ycia-wiecznego/

"The discovery of a greenish substance by Rychnowski in 1879 prompted him to conduct further research in this field. Based on them, he concludes that the principle of operation of electric current results from unknown, volatile matter that moves on the surface of metal wires. The source of this mysterious prototype energy - as the inventor calls it - is the Sun and other stars. "This energetic matter - writes Rychnowski - penetrates in the form of emissive solar radiation towards the earth and other planets of the solar system and is the basis not only of light and heat, electricity, magnetism, chemistry and all organic life, but also the fundamental cause of the rotation of the planets and their laps around the sun."

"In June 1883, during a lecture at the Technical School, he questioned Isaac Newton's theory of gravity, then generally accepted. Rychnowski rejects the thesis about the gravitational potential of solid bodies, considering that they are only a kind of transformers that convert solar energy into gravity. The entire lecture ends in a scandal, but the idea of ​​the Lviv scientist will stand the test of time. Half a century later, the previously mentioned Dr. Wilhelm Reich stated that the Sun is the source of all energy present on Earth..."

"It was apparently an extraordinary energy that could rejuvenate a person and make him resistant to pain. Not only that, the aetheroid presented by Rychnowski was able to create colorful photographs of human faces and even fetuses, which confirmed the identity of the aether with the life force. This brings to mind de la Warr's famous camera, which was also capable of taking pictures only through the unexplored power of the human mind."

"Rychnowski installed his machine in the General Hospital in Lviv, with the consent of Dr. Wiczkowski, this time using only air pumped from the garden for exposure. It was cleansed and activated by the strong light of Nernst electric lamps. In this way, the desired therapeutic effects were achieved. The methods he used were effective in the treatment of such various diseases as: rheumatism, diabetes, tuberculosis, blindness, syphilis, congenital atrophy of the optic nerve (blindness) and even infertility."

"In his opinion, the effectiveness of Rychnowski's therapy was so great mainly because of the energy recharging of the blood by ether. This improved its proper circulation in the body, restoring general health to the person. Interestingly, as in the case of other great but forgotten discoverers, this invention functioned only in the presence of the designer himself. Was it related to a special quality of the engineer's mind? "

"He stated that the importance of the heart is exaggerated by people because the pressure in the main artery of the heart, the aorta, is a hundred times too low to force blood through the capillaries. This was due to the significant density of the blood. In his opinion, blood circulation was possible mainly due to the difference in either the electrical potentials of blood cells or the chemical composition of blood and the cells forming the vessels through which it ran. The deprecation of the role of the heart in the circulatory system was met with criticism and misunderstanding among scientists. As future experience would show, Rychnowski was not completely wrong in his diagnosis, although he was unable to clearly determine the function of the heart in the entire process.

"At the same time, the scientist was working on another extraordinary creation - an emitter of electromagnetic waves, to create which he used a theory commonly attributed to Heinrich Hertz. And yet everything indicates that the Pole was first! Hertz announced his theses only in 1887, while Rychnowski showed his model, along with other inventions of that era, four years earlier, in Vienna, at the next world exhibition."

"It is known that already in 1894, long before the official introduction of color negatives and photos by Western companies, the Pole organized exhibitions of his color photographs, becoming a pioneer in this field. Rychnowski was also involved in medicine, conducting research on the harmfulness of tobacco and alcohol, as well as finding the source of cancer, which, in his opinion, was caused by damage to the body at the cellular level! If the medical world had accepted this fact earlier, it might have been possible to avoid the problems that this disease still causes today. Rychnowski was also the first to provide the correct principles of operation of the human nervous system, stating that the spinal cord is an electrolyte that conducts signals in the form of electric charges."

"However, the greatest scientific achievement, so far unappreciated by scientists, is a truly extraordinary matter: just as Copernicus created the heliocentric system and Kepler determined the laws of planetary motion, Eng. Franciszek Rychnowski de Welehrad revealed - in his opinion - the true cause of gravity, rotation and rotation of the Earth and other celestial bodies. Rychnowski's discovery is still waiting for scientific confirmation."

Revisiting Burr and Northrop’s “The Electro‑Dynamic Theory of Life” ┃ Michael Levin
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13752-020-00341-y


"Harold Saxton Burr was a biologist working throughout the 1930s–1950s on an important set of problems related to biological organization and the origin of complex living forms. He was a profound thinker, suggesting a complementary focus on field concepts in addition to the emphasis on particle models and integrating concepts from physics and philosophy in his work. He developed innovations in electrophysiological technique and used them to perform a wide experimental survey of bioelectricity in normal and pathological growth. Here, I briefly review his classic paper with philosopher F. S. C. Northrop, “The Electro-Dynamic Theory of Life,” in the context of advances in this field over the last few decades. Based on recent progress, it is now clear that Burr was a prescient and visionary thinker. His main hypothesis, that bioelectric gradients serve as prepatterns guiding morphogenesis, has been confirmed using modern molecular physiology, as have his ideas about the place of cancer and the nervous system in the question of biological organization. With limited technology but deep insight, he derived insights that anticipated many modern discoveries. Even more importantly, Burr’s view of bioelectricity as a convenient entry point for rigorous investigation of the broader question of self-organizing properties of life highlights a frontier of inquiry that awaits today’s researchers."

Expansion and Contraction: Goethean Polarity and Architecture
https://repository.gatech.edu/entities/publication/0a4c1ef2-125d-404e-b02b-af5418b33a25

ABSTRACT: "As a historic figure, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) has been drawing interest in contemporary research in humanities due to his involvement in multiple fields such as literature, philosophy, natural sciences and aesthetics while having direct influence on the shaping of the Enlightenment era. Although his body of work has been mostly evaluated under the rubric of phenomenology, this dissertation will aim to develop a comprehensive understanding of his works using his ideas on polarity as the core principle. Polarity stems from Goethe’s early involvement in botany where he describes the development of annual plants through cycles of expansion and contraction as opposite sexual forces of natural productivity. This principle forms the foundation of morphology; a unifying science where Goethe applies polarity to formulate ideas on osteology, geology and color. The thesis will be developed in three main chapters that primarily establish the theoretical aspects of polarity in Goethe’s works and then extends it towards developing a novel morphological understanding of architecture as well as formulating polarity tools for design. The first chapter presents an extensive analysis of Goethe’s most controversial novel—Elective Affinities—as a prototypical literary work applying the concept of polarity for the structuring and development of its story. Using the novel as a theoretical-philosophical framework, the role of polarity is analyzed through character typology, affinity relations among characters, landscape formation and production of architectural projects. The allegorical aspects of the story show that Goethe’s scientific writings and engagement with contemporaneous philosophy informed his novel, producing a literary expression of the transition from Idealism to Romanticism. In the second chapter, polarity in Goethean morphology is analyzed focusing particularly on leaf morphogenesis to demonstrate formal principles of growth. Metamorphosis of Plants acts as the theoretical foundation of polarity, explaining the cyclic behavior of expansion and contraction in plants through Goethean principles. The terms “polarity” and “intensification” are further explored in Goethe’s works applied to other natural sciences such as botany and osteology, as well as color; extending both terms as core principles of an ontological system of nature. This system is explored through leaf morphogenesis studies developed in a computational framework to introduce a parametric understanding of topological polarity rules that explain leaf forms using alternating growth cycles. In the third chapter, Goethe’s statement “All is Leaf” is extended to architecture by applying the concept of polarity through planar and vertical development of architectural massing organized through body-limb duality. Polarity is compared to the classical notion of symmetry and proportion to establish a new look at architectural morphology operating through axiality, primitive huts and parametric application of abstract polarity rules devoid of style. These rules are extracted from a historical analysis of various architectural case studies using samples of Palladian villas, Baroque palaces, Gothic cathedrals, and English manor houses. After developing an understanding of polarized architectural body-limb relations, a procedural polarity machine is developed to apply principles of metamorphosis towards generative studies of architectural massing focusing on Gothic cathedrals as a case study. In the last part of the thesis, polarized morphology is considered as an ecological strategy to approach architectural design under variable conditions of climate and altitude."

CONCLUSION: "When applied towards architecture, Goethe’s concept of polarization as a mediator between internal structural development and external adaptation or activity of species, could offer morpho-ecological comparisons among various precedents examined in this thesis. In architecture, massing is often directly influenced by altitude and placement within urban or rural areas. While an increase in altitude often results in contraction; in the ground plan, as in most Palladian Villas and English Manor houses, or placement within a densely packed urban context as in Notre-Dame Cathedral. In contrast, English Gothic Cathedrals such as Salisbury and Lincoln show similar expansive development akin to Baroque palaces due to their placement in open landscapes and lower altitudes. Similarly, altitude affects the overall size of buildings by either contracting their size or expanding their surface area or volume. With their similar morphological developments in horizontal and vertical directions, Baroque Palaces could be considered as expanded Palladian Villas, and English Manor houses could be viewed as contracted Gothic Cathedrals. This contrast resembles the polarization between the summer house and manor house in Elective Affinities, with the former acquiring traits akin to Palladian Villas or English manor houses, and the latter appears as a Baroque Palace. In this way, Goethean morphology, as a polarized model of ecology, offers a cumulative view of the architectural landscape where all buildings are both internally and externally adapted to their environment by distributing their resources towards their form."

Lightning and it's Fractal Domain Domain | Andrew Hall of Thunderbolts

https://youtu.be/Qay1mQrSkOg?si=gsL91qrhMC-Yhfdz

"Lightning is an electrical discharge primarily observed as vertical cloud-to-ground lightning strikes—but electrical discharges also occur cloud-to-cloud or ground-to-ground, and sometimes with different return paths in the circuit.

Landforms can be identified with an understanding of energy, frequency and vibration. In a holographic Electric Universe, everything is an interference pattern, including matter—it’s just potential energy stored in a standing wave.

Author and engineer Andrew Hall dissects radial electrical discharge from the sphere of the planet which produces coaxial discharge circuits—where both the discharge and return path share the same space—and shows evidence of electromagnetic effects that leave undeniable geometric patterns found all over the Earth."

The Sounds of Light | Buddy James of Thunderbolts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3vq4bN0F0U

"Light makes different sounds which are dynamic, gorgeous, and mimic living creatures and other sounds of nature.

When most people think about light it's what our eyes can see, visible light—the single octave from red-to-violet light in the electromagnetic spectrum—although, in the scientific lexicon "light" is defined as the EM spectrum in its entirely. There are frequencies we can hear and see—but the frequencies we cannot hear and see are known as radio, micro, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma rays.

First documented in 1882, British telephone operators described whistling and crackling sounds. It wasn't until the early 1930s when we began to associate these sounds with the Northern lights. Finally, in 2012 the first audio recording of an Aurora was released.

Interdisciplinary Geometer Buddy James dissects sounds in creation mythology, how Alfvén Waves can support wave-like variations in magnetic fields, and the non-biological ambient sound of Auroras."

Proposal for the Structured Atom Model | Edwin Kaal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlrEtFvkKEQ

"In this re-release of his EU2017 Conference presentation, Edwin Kaal proposed a new model for the atom based upon principles of densest packing, balancing of electrostatic forces, symmetry, and the stable geometry of Platonic solids. It's called the Structured Atom Model (SAM).

In his model, the sacrosanct strong force of the modern theory is not required, and neutrons are redefined as a connection between protons and electrons. Atoms in SAM are protons and electrons in electrostatic and geometric equilibrium. Following simple rules and postulations, a structured atomic model emerges. The shapes represent specific attributes of the elements such as the valence value. Importantly, SAM does not contradict the evidence in chemistry and physics, but offers a new interpretation and fresh approach.

Based in the Netherlands, Edwin Kaal—an expert in analytical and environmental chemistry—collaborated with James Sorensen, Andreas Otte, and Jan Emming to author "Nature of the Atom - An introduction to the Structured Atom Model" and launched its supporting website in September 2021."
