All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Ahead Of Their Time

Why are so many visionaries ignored?

This is a question which confronts fundamental issues about how science and discovery operate. Is science merely a consensus of what the scientific community thinks it is? Peter Evans asks modern innovators, philosophers and scientists what lessons we can learn from past errors of judgement.

Cymatics

A study of Wave Phenomena by Hans Jenny

Prepare to expand the way you look at your world. As the ancient Hindu scriptures stated: Nada Brahma, the world is Sound!

Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena, is a science pioneered by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972). For 14 years he conducted experiments animating inert powders, pastes, and liquids into life-like, flowing forms, which mirrored patterns found throughout nature, art and architecture.

Hearing Colours, Eating Sounds

Why do some people perceive words and numbers as colours?

Synaesthesia is an extraordinary condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color. As many as one in 2000 people experiences some form of synaesthesia. This major two part series reveals how synaesthesia is changing our understanding of the world of neuroscience.

The Quest For Overunity

"Dear new explorers and experimenters,

You are WELCOME in the JLN Labs web site dedicated to the search of Free-Energy solutions and new generation of space-propulsion systems.

Good exploration,

Jean-Louis Naudin ( France )"

"....If we could produce electric effects of the required quality, this whole planet and the conditions of existence on it could be transformed. The sun raises the water of the oceans and winds drive it to distant regions where it remains in state of most delicate balance. If it were in our power to upset it when and wherever desired, this mighty life-sustaining stream could be at will controlled. We could irrigate arid deserts, create lakes and rivers and provide motive power in unlimited amount. This would be the most efficient way of harnesing the sun to the uses of man......" ( Nikola Tesla, June 1919 )

Needles of Stone

A recommendation from the publisher...

"Needles of Stone, when it was first published in 1978, was a seminal breakthrough book - at least, to me. It proposed a genuine purpose for stone circles, standing stones and megalithic remains of all kinds, creating a vivid picture of the culture of ancient megalithic times. It drew a parallel between geomancy and acupuncture. It was also a fascinating book on dowsing and its results in earth mysteries research."

Symptoms Of Pathological Skepticism

"Many members of the mainstream scientific community react with extreme hostility when presented with certain claims. This can be seen in their emotional responses to current controversies such as UFO abductions, Cold Fusion, cryptozoology, psi, and numerous others. The scientists react not with pragmatism and a wish to get to the bottom of things, but instead with the same tactics religious groups use to suppress heretics: hostile emotional attacks, circular reasoning, dehumanizing of the 'enemy', extreme closed-mindedness, intellectually dishonest reasoning, underhanded debating tactics, negative gossip, and all manner of name-calling and character assassination.

Two can play at that game! Therefore, I call their behavior "Pathological Skepticism," a term I base upon skeptics' assertion that various unacceptable ideas are "Pathological Science." [Here] is a list of the symptoms of pathological skepticism I have encountered, and examples of the irrational reasoning they tend to produce."

Uncarved Block

Sound and music appeal directly to the emotions.
There is no language barrier involved in the perception of wordless sound.
Urban environments are increasingly hectic and sonically unpleasant.

With these thoughts in mind, I intend to try to make a difference in people's lives by offering them "sonic oases" where they can escape the cacophony. To achieve this I will combine calming natural sounds with gentle beat-free music to create relaxing immersive sound-environments. These spaces will be available to all and must be free of charge.



The Wilhelm Reich Museum

Wilhelm Reich was a physician-scientist whose investigation of energy functions in human emotions led to the discovery of an unknown energy which exists in all living matter and in the cosmos. He called this energy "orgone." The Wilhelm Reich Museum at Orgonon was Reich's home and workplace. Located in the Rangeley Lakes Region of Maine and comprising 175 acres of fields and woodland with a system of trails and two major buildings, the museum represents and interprets the life and work of this renowned researcher and the environment in which he investigated the energy functions that govern all living matter.
