COMMENTARY VRIL COMPENDIUM ill VRIL systems display intelligence because VRIL is· intelligence. VRIL permeates all systemologies. VRIL is the gmUDd of being. VRJL manifests when human technologies remove artificially applied codes. VRJL is the meaDS tbmugh which Divine Pnseace is commuaicated. VRIL is respo~~­ sive to needs. True VRJL poteDtials fulfill h'U1D8D organismic desins. Systems are VRIL COD· duGtive bem detrital species ant applied to them. VRIL translates participants. VRIL 1nml1atioDS sends participaD1S tbmugh VRIL worlds. Prime VRJL access reveals VRIL den- dritic matrices. VRJL matrixw junctures reveal VRJL eidetic worlds. VRJL worlds in~-relate in hegemonoua hierarchies. Physical experience is inertio-referenced. Meaningful experience is VRlL world referenced. Descriptive examinations of material coafigutations are inertiallyrefenmced. VRlL eidetic world experiences tnmslate participants he of inertial restric:tious.. VRlL eidetic world CODSCioumess is inertia-he cousciousnesa. Inertial impedance limits orpuismic extension in VRIL eidetic worlds. Special material configurations penDit prolific organismic conscious extent amid VRJL eidetic worlds. Related regional hegemonies compose the apparent world. AppBRDt world intiastrw:ture is limited to VRlL eidetic world terminal distributions. The appBRDt world is a multi-juncture terminal of imlumerably merging VRlL eidetic worlds. This explaius the structure and experience of the appSRDt world. The appBRDt world exists because of au illertialized space. Inertia is alien and hostile to VRlL expressiODs. Inertia is rigid space-reference. Innumerable VRIL threadways iutermesh throughout VRIL experiential 'spaces. VRIL provides free translatory experience. VRIL is self-referencing. VRlL translatory experience is true organismic experience. Inertial space impels organisms to perceive VRIL juncture in spatially separated distribution. Inertial space is RESISTIVE separation. Inertial patterns maintain fixed fotm. Inertial patterns hold in spatial fOtm. Inertial patterns can be detrital species-specific. Inertial patterns effect degenemtiug species of detritus. VRIL Science differentiates inertial detritus. El~tal prodw:ts are differen- tiated from other neutral forms by the organismic seusatioDs which they produce. Eadl design produces a discemably different electro-detrital species. VRIL Technology ammges the collimation and dUectivities of electro-inertial detritus through reliable componentry. Inertia distorts, impedes, impels, invades, and msista VRJL eidetic world experieace. In~ pRIIIUniS fcm:e distorted orgmdanic IelpOD& Appanmt world experieDce is iDeltio-leue pre8IUied. VRlL tbnlad mergings give true seasual experieace. VRIL nodes fiD projected experiential space. Eidetic· contact shatters &lse perception. Eidetic contact destroys inertia-distorted pen:eptious of spatial separations. VRJL teclmology seeks to magnify and refuse illtenupted eidetic CODDeCtivity. VRlL projects space. VRIL projected space permeates. VRIL projected space is cousciousness. Consciousness and experience is differentiated as specific eidetic worlds. Thoughts and thought fotm1 may be tracked in their passage tbmugh VRIL thJeld space. Trausvene observation of VRIL threads delays eidetic communion. Transverse VRIL observation pennits quasi-inertial Jmowledge of otherwise eidetic tzmsac.. tioDs. The sensitive may observe the passage ofexperientialtranslatiODsamoug VRlLjunctures across space. Eidetic world projections tbmugh materials is spoutaneous. Organismic contact or intent is not necessary for spontaueo~ projections and transactions. VRIL examines itsel£ Eidetic world projections release inertial eftluences tbmugh inertial space impacts. The human organisms needs VRlL eidetic contact. Other worlds feed this apparent world. Eidetic experiences give synaesthesia which contladict the app11e11t world. Eidetic worlds defy the appBRDtworld ill season, time of day, and weather pattems. Eidetic worlds are wondrous, original, pure, and untainted. In them we may see night towns ill broad daylight, spring blooming during winter, and bright SUDDY meadows at midnight. Eidetic worlds defy reason and 5sensor argument. Eidetic worlds are contndictions of the inertial space which they defy and dissolve. We may experience translation up into snowy upper spaces, discover watery Jakes where houses are founded, and ascend up into galactic frosted blue stars. These are not pro- jectioas ofconsciousness. These ant trausactions of projected worlds through material contadl. They require no penoual fon:e, initiation, or eftblt. Eidetic worlds preserve and project things lost 1D this world during specific seaSOUL We discov• flowers in wintll". VRIL intia-stracture projects Vital holisma and experiential space. VRJL eidetic CODDeetivity pennits total participatioaal 1raDilation. VRIL space is traDSiatory SUFFUSION. VR1L dissolves, cavitates, eradicates, and trauslates inertial space into an eidetic '1lole,. world ••• an abyss of disaolutioDI. VRIL junctures penDit expanded con- scioUSDess. VRlL junctures dissolve inertia and permit eidetic tmuslatory nwelatiou. VRJL eidetic worlds illumiDate regiolis &om beneath (Corliss). VRlL eidetic worlds manifest anomalously irregaidless of apparent world stratifications (C.Fort). VRlL worlds invade the inertia-apparent world with anomalies. VRIL worlds self-participate and selfinteract. Operators effect ~ tnmsmutatious via contact. VRIL con1act prolongs VRIL eidetic world presence along local axes via operaton. VRIL interpenetrates experiential space. VRlL examination ntquires direct contact. VRIL eidetic is 1rallsacted via VRlL threads. VRIL requires conduits, materials, and proper alignments for its proper Ut:iliDtion. Metal plates tbmugh which VRIL 1raDsads become VRlL engraved hieroglyphs of superlative mystery. Human organismic interactions with such designs release revelational experience ofhighest degree. At the glowing centeroftheregional VRlL archefonns (crystallographic pyramidals) is found a special black pool of generative VRIL: the exceptional presence desUed by each living sentient being. VRIL projects genemtivity and sustains worlds. VRJL amae are tufted striations. Specific VRIL aurae contain progenerative illflections during specific times. VRIL Science is not mechmistic. VRIL Science is empirical and experiential. VRlL Science discovers experiential meanings tbmugh eidetic contacts. VRIL Teclmology designs and ammges experientially derived componentry. VRIL threads are indivisible portions of their pBRDt eidetic worlds. VRIL threads give trans-regioual experience. Design-detetmined material configurations give desired VRIL eidetic experience. VRIL t:breadways remain in contact with 1 I participating orpuisms. VRlL threads utilize synaptic·junctuzes in human neurology. VRIL experiences requUe place-visitation. VRIL experience· exalt consciousness and virtue.VRIL aurae are inuately withdrawn aud enfeebled as a msult of inertial imm«siou. The blacknea of VRlL pmseoce is seea in the ground also. Black radiance is VRlL striated preseace. VRlL preseace is viscem-eidetic potential. VRlL revelations provide sbmtUowthe one in whose voice they have beea imprinted. One may rebiD from speaking and be "foUowed" by the moving vane whenwer one moves. Pendulomancen employed wooden blocks to prevent their mwrcuJar tremors ftom distorting pendulum gyrations. This anomalous practice wu employed by European dowsa:s. Several photographs of these methods are ex1ant. The woodeD block fimctions in identical manner with the wooden block eidetic dit1iactms employed to ..deaden.. telegraph line vt'brations (Connor). Sound-deadening blocks provide a mys- terious clue to the source of night telegraphline vibrations (Connor). No such block moun1ing can suppress line vtbrations. Line vibrations would con1inuously permeate the block itself and tmnsfer acoustic sound into the statiouhouse. Such an orpnic block design operates because it modifies a nonacoustic energy. Bxperiments were performed with bent wiles which were grounded to provide s11ong eidetic transactions. The identical bent metal wire was sandwiched between wooden block (one free tenninal grounded again) failed to give the same eidetic representation: deferring the otherwise deep groundward direcpon of consciousness into a starry region of space. Such deferment of eidetic trausKtion •results in Mduced VRIL-induced line vibra.tion. These block designs dampen eidetic tnmsactions. The sounds stop because the transaction is deferred and altered. These sounds reached crescendi during the early moming hoUIS and conform with our observation ofVRIL projected sounds which flood enclosures shortly after midnight (2-4 A.M.). These sounds are viscero-organismic, nonacoustic, and are beneficia1ly permeating. An impressive viscera-inertial transaction takes place when minerals and metals are immersed in flowing water. The body alternately absorbs VRIL and inertia in pulsations. Such pulsations alternate according to a fixed numerical sequence which is reminiscent ofpendulum oscillations when dowsing minerals. These altemating organismic pulsations are enjoined in specific numerical sequences: forward surges between VRIL condw:tivity and backward surges of inertial resisdvity. VRIL motor power wu employed in a desip by Nathan Stubblefield as reported. Lester Hendershot 1D&IIaged the powerfbl transaction of VRIL motive power. This motor was distinct from the Hendershot TI'BDSformer. VR1L IMPRESSION RECORDERS Condudion ofVRIL 1:r8Dsadivitiesalong various conducton bas long been established. Dr.Anton Mesmer c:cmducted VRIL energies from special capaciton (grounded) and ccmdeasers (insulated) through iron poles, along iron wiles, mel through silba. threads. Recipients were healed of many maladies through tmnsfOimative viscem-eidelic trausactions. Galvani demonstrated that projected influences flooded space gaps among dissimilar metals. Galvani showed the conduction of such space-s1rains through copper and iron wires. Power1blly vivifying energies were conducted through wires in specific 1raDSaetive conditions. Moderately elevated aerial termiDals gave thrilling (non-electrical) "shocks" when grasping grounded lines. An amazing anecdote of silver crystallizations during thunderstorms bas been given in a previous volume (circa 1700). Such lore matches those which report eidetic scene impressions made upon orglllically coated matter during lighming storms (Corliss). Baron Karl von Reichenbach showed that it was possible for sensitives in darkened rooms to discem diffenmces between polarities of magnets, crystals, lunar light, and solar light through wiles. T.G. Hieronymus proved that the ..chlorophyll energy" (VRIL eidetic transaction) in sunlight made plants thrive in darkened rooms. Holistic pictures may be transacted through wiles in absence of coded scaDDers. Wiles serve VRIL self-articulating threads behaving optically. No loss of image or signal strength OCCUIS however distant. Radionic tuning devices focus eidetic transactions. Guidewires may fix these worlds on photogmphic plates and sensitive papers. When used with rheostatic tuners ami-sensitive papers do produce special and mysterious depictions (Drown, DeLaWarr). VRn. entuned systems produce clarified eidetic images across suitable material mediL Clarification of eidetic images requires VRIL eidetic node entuuement (Drown, DeLaWarr, Dobler). Dr.Ruth Drown produced radionically enmued photographs of anatomical interiors. Radiovision is an eidetic tnmsactor of superlative quality. Radiovision apparatus utilized flickering light and single-wire "guides" of eidetic whole images. Photographic film pzeserved the effects of these shadowgraphs. Trausactive pheaomeaa enpge eidetic impmssions. Such eidetic images an dimct1y tnmsmitted through single wires to sensitive plates. Dr.R..Drown discovered it possible to recov• anatomical penpectives ftom distant places over a single wire. Other resean:h.. duplicated these results successfully (DeLaWarr). Natmal flickering lights produce eidetic images which deposit on organic material media (Corliss). Inductoscripts, lightning figures, keraunographia, or lightning sbadowgraphs an prolifically reported. Such sbadowgraphs are made via c:lii1BDt lightning flashes. Images of specific objects remain deposited on waDs, floors, and other organic absorbers. Records indicate these sbadowpaphs to be projective images. When objects lie between lighming mel observers phenomeaal projection ofimages is observed on organic absorbers. Organic suspensions reveal organismic VRIL conditions. The delicate formations and general fluidic traces of certain organic suspensions give direct manifestation of VRIL space patterns. Paper chromatographic records of crystallizatioDS employing specific salts during specific astrological configurations reconl VRIL permeative influence (Kolisko, Pfeiffer). Archetypal chromatographs revealed the permeating structuml aetivities of insensate VRIL transactions in darkened rooms. These traces correlate with those made through chemical telegraphs. Crys1allizations foUowed patterns specific to local VRIL transac:tions. These &JChetypal effects are magnified when experiments are performed near the ground proper. Connectivity with chromatographs and metallic evaporation dishes was achieved through VRIL aerial-ground threads. VRIL insensate activities surpass our own sensory modes ofcommuning. Certain VRIL thteadways enlarge our sensory apprehensions to include insensate experiences. Chemical telegraphic systems transact eidetic experience long before radionists rediscovered the effect. Primitive VRIL telegraphic radionic tuners (rheostatic) transact complex permeating eidetic experiences among operators. Chemical telegraphic systems detect VRIL stimuJated luminescence 8 in chemical media. Chemical telegraphs used special papers to register sipal markings (BaiD. Smith, Westbrook, Rogers). Chemical telegraphs offered strange and anomalous electric cilcuitry (Sawyer: 166, 30S, Lefferts, Edison: 141,776: 150,848: 156,843). Certain employed numerous groUDd plate peaetratioDI (earth batteries) along their line length (EdisoD: 141,776). These desigaa were seDSitive enough to wilize very little cummt (Edison, Lefferts, Little). Chemical impmssion ftiCOlden utilized eidetic entlmemnt via rheostats (BclisoD, Lefferts, Little). Chemical telegraphs hquondy mgistered thready auric sipals while being electrical short-circui1s. Primitive VRIL timers tnDsact complex luminous glows in absence of orgaDismic COD18Ct-sites. VRIL stimulated 1umiDescence can be photographed. VRIL tmDSactivity leaves 1races OD sensitive papen. Certain pendulum desigaacombinedmotorpriDciples with impnssioll recotders (BaiD. Dyar). Numerous chemical formulae were slwed for posterity. Chemical telegraphs use sensitive chemical papers (potassium prussiate) in detectiDg the presence of {electrical) iDfluence. The formula for making auri-seositive papers wu given (Baill). V«y little electricity wu actually used in chemical telegraphy (Lefferts). Chemical telegraphy utilizes momalous electrical cODDeCtioDI md impossible charge arraugements. Lines are entinly positive in "charge". GmUDded tiDe ends am each positive in "charge". Applica- tiOD of earth batteries \focal batteriesj to chemical telegraphy (Lefferts). ENTIJNING VRIL Empirical researchers were extremely VRIL CODSCiousness in absence oftermiDology. The confusion md disotder of intriguing cilcuitry is absent in VRIL teclmology. Components am empirically combined to produce vay specific traDsactions. There am no confusing routes md exchmge paths. ~VR.IL self- articulates md manges its own intelligence in components. Components am VRlL guided to perfcmn as the VR.lL presence intends. Primary function was forgotten md lost.••while the electrical function was retained. Comptehending the separate function of each component may be valuable only insomuch as we gain insight to their functioning within each aggregate. We find chokes, tunable coils, teaistors, tunable (carbon) msistors, rheostats, tesist&Dce coils, chemo-electric batteries, branched groUDdplates, md wire conduction paths. These are the elements of cilcuitry. They are notpriman1y electrical components. Together they form whole aggregates. These are the parts of the VRIL resonant system called Wfelegraphy". · Eidetically transactive nodes aur.:t and hold orpnismic: con1act. The sticking reac- tion is a polarizatioD of physiology when "eDCOUDteriDg eidetic nodes. Aftican sooth- sayers use special wood-gmin mbbillg plates to discem organismic s1ates of mind and health. Metallic sur&cea am covezed with mi- c:zo.eidetic nodes. MineraJa mel crystals are permeated with numerous major eidetic nodes. Woody grains and vucuJatecl matai- als display uatura1 eidetic nodes when pmp- erly groUDd aligned. Addition ofother mate- rials to such basic componen1l'y produces new eidetic nodes. These were caJled "'ates" by radionists. Luigi Galvaui discovered physiological NSpODSeS in distal spaces among large metal plates. Conductive contacts went not m- quiled for the powertbl experience of vis- ceml excitations. Interposing the baud be- tween separated plates of copper and of zinc gave strongly vivifying strain states. Contact with other dissimilar metallic contacts gave other similar effects. Galvaui c:tistinguished between tho physiologically vivitying ef- fects which he discovemd and those which Volta claimed. Antonio Meucci discovemd tonal-physi- ological responses in human bodies. Anoma- lous observation of conducted complex elec1ro-acoustic tones among human sub- jects wu embodied in the world•s first tele- phonic system. Human subjects could "hear and speak" through a charged-wire system. The Meucci physiophone enjoined VRIL transactions when ground-connected. Human physiological response to orgmo-tonic conduction was characteristi- cally vivifying. Exposure to physiophonic conductions diffemd entirely 1iom exposure to the tonic cummts ofinductoria. lnductoria provided fixed tonal cummts high in detrital products. Physiophonic currents were strong in a vivifYing presence. Baron Karl von Reichenbach found it possible to transmit empathic signals through varieties of tiDes. Tuning variables were not employed. Threads, strings, chains, md various metallic wiles were used in darkroom ex- periments. Sensitives grasped one end of long conductors. Conducton terminated OD varieties of minerals md metals. Sensitives registered personal reception ofemotion and visceral sensation. Various minerals, metals, crystals, mag- nets, plants, sunlight, moonlight, and star- light wem viscerally transacted by these methods along conductive lines. Records do not detail holistic visual impMSSioas among the sensitives. Elisha Gray discovered the mctive effects of organismic contact with charged grounded metal plates. Capacitative contacts yield sepamte and minute DOdal ftictive con1acts. These seem continuous with casual exammation. Close exmrinetiou reveals tbat seemingly continuous frictive contac:tl are composed of close, distinct, and separate nodea. Eidetic transaction is tbepmpermeans of examining components, systems, md states. These components 1laaSact eidetically with opemtors. Potemiometers and variable c:apaciton were developed in telegraphic systems to enjoin ground node potentials and secme "line balance". Telegraphic lines successfully operated among ground-plates through entlmed states. Rheostats md capacitative groUDd forks were utilized to enjoin district nodes. ~ ground" determined telegraphic efficacy. Rheostatic entunementinsmed powerful code transfer (Buell, Little, Field). These topical effects were made possible only because VRlL states were successfully engaged by the systems. Dr.George W.Starr-White discovemd a strange series of autonomic muscular tonic slates in human physiology. These were enjoined by assuming specific positional align- ments with respect to ground. .AbdomiDal mtlexes were autonomic and involUDtary. Visceral responses manifested when physiology encountered spatial dispositioDI of insensate energy. Like the iris of the eye, the visceral organismic response to spatial energetic states wu the assumption of vay c:tistinct strain s1ates. A series of specific retlexes were discovered. Bach manifested involuntarily when specific energetic straills permeated space. In determining viscero-tonic mtlexes Dr.Starr-White relied upon abdominal percussions. Specific tonal differences gave the specific muscular retlex elicited by my permeating energy. Non magneto-electric pervasive ground energies dominate human physiology. · Dr.Stair-White employed grounded terminals for the conduction of these mystery energies. The "Valens Cosmo-Elec1ro-Bnergy COD~ utilized telegraphic prin- ciples md wu a retum to ancient ground- oriented teclmology. Vivifying effects were enjoined through the absotption of these semi-sensate VR.lL threads. Dr.A. Abrams found that "human energies" could charge telegraphic components in specific manner. Telegraphic rheostats md Leyden jan were charged with "human 9 energy•. Proving the existence of human energy relied upon several distinct autonomic retlexes with which Dr.Abrams bad previously dealing. Dr.Abrama discovtnd distinct frictive acticma wheo coo1acbng humanly charged systemL This ftictioD was later utilized in dtJtemrining of toDic states. Touchplate capaciton wem an ~ addition to rabdommtic ai1B. RadioDic tameD enjoin the participatioa of their operatora tbmugh the mbbing plate c:oo1act (vilcaal compoaeDt). Variety of nodes is established tluough variability components. Rheosca1l of various compositioDs and vuiable c:apaciton have beeo used to determine radionic l8tel. Dr.Abrama extemalized the abdomiDal ndlex NIICtioul by employing rheollatl. Scaled rheostatic positious were specifically equated with abdomiDal reflexes. This allowed the examiner to reliDquish abdomiDal percussion teclmiques. Compooea1ry reflected organismic sensitivities. VR.IL &Gtivate components are quai-intelligent. There am some sensitives who eliminate of the mbbing plate and success1blly discem mtes directly through space teDsioDS (visceral}. This method is utilized by dowsers who use the hang-rod method to scan districts. Abdominal reflexes signal eidetic nodes. Powertbl eidetic nodal 11'1111actions am engaged via specific ground align- ments. Utilization of ground-fixed rheostatic tuners alters district strain-states. Each VRIL system component must be empirically experienced through various COiltads and distal exammations. Detenninatious of VRIL functions is empirically appreciated. VRIL configurations must individually and empirically designed. These empirical discoveries deal with eidetic projections which hold their form through time. One may mum to these configurations and find identical projections long after time has washed their image clean from memory. They are not the result ofself-deception. It is critical that we collate consortium eidetic impn:ssions to find significant differences and similarities among examiners. :T:rausactive differences may reference special potentials yet UDappreciated.. Radionic "rar.es- are eidetic nodes in miDeials and metals. Material geometry determines eidetic nodes. Massive minerals and metals oflength may have several longitudinally distributed nodes. These may ocClD' as discrete points or in wavy bands. Natural massive crystalline minerals and metals have numerous eidetic nodes throughout their volumetric mass. It is possible to isolate eidetic nodes in specific sized minerals and metals. Broad organismically transactive plates have been designed (Vassilatos). These may be utilized to give patterned rate displays. Mappable nodes are surface located when using thin traDsactive materials. These. special conciudive strips may be ccmnected with minerals and metaJs for the determination of eidetic nodes. Such a strip is fiictively c:ootacted along its length and breadth. This ·design effectively combines the variability component and the contact plate. Examination ofthe nodal pattem topically differentiates minerals and metals. Such a mdioaic display plate may. be used to eajoin eidetic 1I'8DI8GtioDs once nodes \rates") am cJetermmed. The older methods which wen pioneemd by the mentioned legeadaries limited us to single rate detemrinatiODL Designers utilized aluminium capacitor plate tuners (Miller). Staged rheostatic switches ofcarbon and nichrome were empJoyed u variability components (Hieronymus, Drown). Othen used telegraphic carbon rheoltldl and iDdudDn. Spe- cific conductive media etfect specificity in MCeived ~ distribution. VRIL tuners made eidetic nodes. Specific minerals and metals contain specific eidetic node-qwmtities. Bach such material displays specific eidetic node distributions throughout their mus. Bach eidetic node gives a special view and experience within a specific periphery and atmosphere. Great accuracy in determining radionic mtes was achieved through the tuning devices of Dr. Hiemnymus. Neither aluminum nor nichmme are elements found to any normal degree within the human body. Car- bota is the chief organismic tuning element. Carbon should be included as the prime natural tuning material. The powerful emanational intluence of the iron should be enjoined in transac:tive tuners. Both elements in combiuation represent the agency through which we are organismically entuned with VRJL. Radionic ~are established through sensitive contact. Catalogues of rate registmtions are established through consortium replication. These positions were numerically identified when variability components were numerically scaled. Rate registrations are not numerical positions in VRIL space. Rate registratious are eidetic nodes. Rate registrations contain tar more eidetic information than mere viscero-tonic adhesive power. Most significant operaton receive information directly through eidetic visional experiences. Materials and variability componentry (rheostats, resistance step switches, capacitots, crystal lodes, metallofonns) produce eidetic node entunement. The increased meaningful eidetic transactions which were thcnby enjoined were noted for their "clarity of signal•. Bach design produces specific inertial space concentrations or space dissolutions. White inertial sheaths bring perceptual congestions, distortious, and organismic difficulties. Inertia is fibriDic wheo concen1rated. White inertial fibrila am dangerous to organismic integrity. The enjoiament and concen1ntion ofiDertial detritua must be avoided. Desisners must structnre componentry with the operator in mind. Human organismic response to eidetic traosactivity is most intease whea tuDer dosigns include natmal fimns of iron and carbon. Material organismic components (car- bon) and living blood (iron) magnify trmsactivities. AD substances am simul1aneousJy (proportionally) VRIL-coaductive and inertialRIIistive. Organismic VRIL seasozy systems do not easily participate in volumes of high inertial concen1ration. Inertial detritus is strongly absorbed, aud distorted away ftom the entiN orgauismic pNSeDCe when near or in c:oo1act with Imn. Imn c:oo11ct1 prove to form organismically reflexive conical shields. I:mn is a very sbarp 11811saQtor. Thready penetrations ofiron into the human body can be pamtbl at times. I:mn penetrations sting the recipient. I:mn is organismically accommodating. I:mn offers the organism adaptive difficulty. Inm xeceives and responds with every corresponding change in the vitalistic world. Iron sends powertblly overcoming messages into the body which can lnDt. Carbon softens the N8Ct:ivity of the iron sigual considaably. Organic minerals and materials are strong organismic VRlL contacts. Organic minerals and materials are used to ease c:ootact traDsaction with eidetic worlds. It was discovered that these 2 elements in combination produce a softened organismic receptivity. Carbon-iron transactivities are very "brittle" and "noUy- during certain times. Manganese dioxide softens inter- auric thready trausactions on behalf of the operator. Manganese dioxide powder neu1ralizes transactive discontinuities. Transactive discontinuities are experienced as signal "static•. Manganese dioxide powders provide smoothened signal traDsactions on behalf of the operators. Combinations of iron, carbon, and manganese dioxide powders make continuous transactions poSSible. Eidetic traDsactions are made effortless through the employment of this mixture. Static reduction in telegraphic lines was achieved through the use of carbon (Rosebmgh). Very curious "tunneling• phe- nomenon are enjoined through this organismically designed coupling mixture. Received transactions are effortlessly entuned. VRIL 10 semrory teSpODSe is iDstaDtaneously sustamed tlnough thismixture. Tho activatiousofVRJL semrory orpus is mysterious. The right organismic side may be the VRlL side: the right eye, the VRIL eye. VRIL dnad syuapse activity mates ditli- cult the physiological location ofthese VRIL seasory orgaus. VRlL enjoius perfoliate synapse spaces. VRlL orpus exist as a space auatomy "among the syuapaes". VRlL organic auatomy remaiDS Ullideatified. These synaptic disaribu1ious am the recepton of VR.IL. Orpnismic:al1y couducted VRIL tbreU project from the body II thnady slriatious and tufts agaiDst the iDertial spa. Observation of aurae nweal the existence of these tufted stria1ioDS. VRIL dnad body projections mdiate 1iom all objects and beings. Auric interac:tious and iDterbleadings may be detected among sentient beings and objects. Orgauismic VR.IL amae in proximity with specific material contigmatious an powerfully drawn into systems. System-con- ducted VRIL threads merge with applied aurae to provide viscero-eidetic tnmsactious among commUDicants. VRIL spreads out feathery aura dueada ill sequence upon carbon. VR.IL amaa become feathery and copiously ciliated ill carbon. VRlL dueada do inteusify at specific poims along the carbon surface when ground con1ad is provided. Eidetic traDsaction requires VRlL ground contact. VRlL threads discharge at specific nodal points along carbon rods or plates. These mark VRlL eidetic nodes. · Dr.A.Abrams arranged experimental tunen to specifically entune thought- foDDS. Abrams' work repteseDted another step ill a progressive movemeat towatd mcognizing empathic communications systems. Telegraphic systems were long operating ill these very transact:ive modes. Connections were made with specific organismic centres. Dr.Abrams demonstrated that thought-forms could be holistically entuned and transfemd through conductive lines. Visceral thought transactions through tuned componentry exceeded the strength of unaided "telepathic" transact:ions. Telepathic commUDications are excessive in specific VRIL alignments and districts. Ordinary unaided telepathy relies on VRIL ground 1:ransactivities, channelry, and ground nodes. Holistic impressious are transmitted through one VRIL organism to others. The entite organismic sensory system becomes the articulate transmitter of experience to others. Those whose organismic correspondence is properly disposed and aligned receive experiential holisms. Interpositions of minerals, metals, and special components (rheostats, resistance switches, minerals, organic matter, etc.) enhance, amplifY, and clarity shared eidetic traasactious. VRIL enters groUilded materials to established volumetric distributions of eidetic nodes in patterns. Frictive adhesion phe-DOIDellOD is utilized to specify nodes. Nodes am located IClOSI an adjustable tuning scale. Tuning mechanism and the frictional touchplate is combined ill a single desigD. Such a system raliZIIs an eotirely new world of polyphonic rates pzeviously impossible with "single rat." timeD. Broad frictive adhesion plates have their use ill mapping VRIL spatial distributions. Lqe sur&ce a. glass plates are coated with a mixture of iiOn, carbon, and manganese dioxide powders. The plate is arranged perpeadicuJar1y to district VRIL tlueadways and allowed to become VRlL polarized. Visceral GI!Diuatinn of this coated plate permits actual mapping ofVRJL activity. Plaque mappings of this sort indicate that specific tlnad Comas remain constant while othen tluidly migrate. Geometric disaributious of these maps an shape shifting over time. Such broad plate effect enhanced VRlL CODSCiousDess ill the operators. These exposure plaques become the seasory traDsmitters of distal eidedc nodes. Seusitivity to meaning1W and mysterious impulses is attained through VRlL artifice. One may receive knowledge and vision exceeding that of mere distant places and events through technologically magnified aW&NDess. VRIL ground thread dynamics seem to proceed ill deranged and mysterious expNSsious when threads are observed. The observation of the s1raDge VRlL tlnad language does not enjoin the examiner with an eidetic experience immediately. Exposure to the language must be continual and suftbsive. Runic messagings become intimate and familiar with exposure. Depth of eidetic exposure tequires time. VRIL threads must be enjoined for transau:tivity to take place. Skewed thread perfoliations do not enjoin strong transactions. Successive exposures magnify the VRIL vocabuluy of operators: who suddenly perceive and interpret the permeative and mysterious runic archeforms seen throughout their disaricts. Broad plaques such as this are the effective sensory transactors of a natural VRlL commUDicatious system. VRlL self-articulation pennits continuous reception and participation in eidetic transmissions fiom unknown distal sensory node sites. These uni1S are elementary in form. They assume a darkened radiance in which eidetic transactions commence. Operators are eidetically translated into undis- closed distal locales aecording to the ways of the VRIL uatural sU'IJctuN by these artificial and extemal retinas. Telegraphic and telephonic switchboards serve the same 1\mction iD the operators. Those who am positioned befole the varie. gated jack-housings and nib-lib projective termiDaJs of copper become c:ontinually suffbsed with eidetic transactious.

Sw:h pcaona became OBeptioDal eidetic ..... through c:ontinual ex.posme to Jine.cODnective distal nodes sites. The literal exchange and mapificatiou of social consciousness was proliferated through these wimd systems. Eidetic information self-articulated in lines from groundplate stations. Eidetic information was entuned through rheostatic and capacitative enjoimnenu. Eidetic information wu dis- tributed along guide-lines. Eidetic information holy discharged among ground nodes throughout the line length. Buried conduits were permeated with fi1nous and follicular VRlL thnads by mere aligmnent, ground depth, and ground-plate placements. Eidedc information projected out into space through multiply stippled termiDals and received by operators. Multiply aristulatod aerial guideways conveyed conscious exchanges into local homes at specific ground nodes (snet cornen and neighborhoods). People who lived ill these city-sectors absorbed VRIL tnmsactions and became exceptionally sensitive and gifted. Weather patterns are the result of mysterious VRlL eidetic transactions. Fine ground-tuning at telegraph station groundplate sites effects district weather controL Gradual 1ransfonuation of telegraphic and telephonic exchange systems more closely approached natural VRIL Ground Systemologies. Samuel Morse began with ground-buried cables. Sw:h cables became flooded with "static,.. Morse quickly and unquestioningly changed to aerial wile-pole systems. These remained the norm until buried conduit exchange systems were perfected. Each such system wu the redundant expres- sion ofexisting VRIL Ground Systemology. VRIL self-articulates. Organismic vo- cal utterances emplaced ill grounds require no artificial cablery or dislnbutive channels. Several resean:hers experimented with non-powOled exchange systems. These found their perfection in systems perfected by Nathan Stubblefield. Revelations of VRlL ground self-articulations reigned for several years (Meucci, Rossetti, Tomldns, Brown, Stubblefield). Later researchers forgot the 11 Stubblefield system. Powered ground wireless systems were pm:sued by many others (fesla, Preece, Morse, Bell). Most of these were not vocal transactors. Nathan Stubblefield 1I'8Dsacted vocal exchanges with clarity and volume through the ll&tlmll VRlL ground articulations.

VRIL projects mineral, vegetable, and animal foDDS. VRIL ia simultaneously aystallic and fluidic. VRIL appears in tlORIOJar displayL Delicate VRIL thleads compose tb.e tissues offlowers. VRIL threads compose miuerals aad metal filigrees in mck. VRIL extends the ganglia of organismic integrity. VRlL projects the thready pJasmal resplendence of the galuies. VRlL is the fimdameuta1 form of the UDiverse. The verticillate penetrations of metallic lodes, crystals, and ll&tlmll miDemls among iDertially congealed masses is a mystety. The natmally occurring appearance of metals and minemls bas much to do with VRIL conditions during the time of material generation. Complex and contruy conditions prevailed in unlmowable proportion during the generative epochs of archane existential history. This generative mystery may be solved in examinations of the eidetic transadions which have occuaed in those districts. We may encounter difficulty in eidetically retrieving knowledge ofthese pre-archaic ages. Difficulty in compmhending nmic language may prevent such eidetic retrieval. The veined appearance of minemls and metal lodes amid matrix rocks infers that sti'Ollg VRIL projections congealed powerful enveloping inertial spaces. Gneiss massives reveal dade veiny threads ~(high VRIL conductivity) with speculate (inertialized) resistive matter. Contact with these materials propels eidetic experience through the dade filigree. VRIL channels am found in the ground geology at depths not exceeding several hundred yalds. VRIL causeways are the vast regional axes which generate and sustain whole regions. VR.IL 1raDsac1s with all over- lying minerals and metals, arrangements, components, and spaces. Minerals and metals exist in conscious states. VRIL transac- tions are meaningful to recipient minerals and. metals. The VRIL world is flooded with eidetic images. Sensation and consciousness am its blood. Projective worlds exist independently in absence of projected forms. They may be located through their projected materials which respond to their presence. All materials respond with local VRIL channelry. All materials wileD touched are viscero-eidetic taminaJs. OrpDismic modulation of Dative VRIL provides organismic expression and exchange among junctme points. Eidetic communications is possible with special auripenneable apparatus. Virtual fi>DDI emersed trom the gmUDd with entunement of telegraphic systems. Ephemtnl virtual architectme materi.aliad around the telegraphic system. The eidetic 1lmslction was sustained and magnified by telegraphic components to which the opera- toiS were privy. Telescopic telegraphy was an unknown eidetic featum of the art. Fmg- menta of the telegraphic circuitry become steDar termini when properly configund and poised. These activities did not require aerial elevations. Certain ground conduits projected hydrant-lib access potts in the ground at special loci. When natural stellar connectivities with VRIL nodes were armed with telegraphic condui1s the effects were striking. Eidetic information loaded the grounded systems and wu transacted with unwary participants. Human experience of other conscious worlds powerfully occms when contacting eidetic ground nodes through specific metals andminerals. Thell&tlmll VRIL ground structum is suffused with eidetic transactions constantly. The VRlL stmdure is a communications matrix of UDimaginably vast proportion. This SYSTEM interconnects humanity with other worlds. This SYSTEM holds the true secrets toward practical experiential teleportation and empathic communications. VRIL dendritic structure is fibrous and perfoliate. VRIL projects glowing black space. VRIL bl'BDC&tes into black glowing space and permutes into new experiential worlds. Operators are privileged to 1raDsad and participate in COfragmentary replication is the second study level. Eidetic consortium is the tertiary stage of study. The final step is implementing the design components in new VRlL technology. VRIL gives eidetic holistic transactions. VRlL material configurations release specific eideti-bolistic transactions. Eidetic experience is the fundamental test. for determining technologic efficaqt. Confusion be- tween VRIL activity and electrical impress- ments caused early electrical engineers to imagine that empirically discovered effi- ciency equalled "electrical efficiency". They do not. Empirically discovcnd, means for enlarging aud enhancing telegraphic signals had nothing to do with coded 11msfer (electrical sigoalling) at all. VRlL systems operate in inertial (electric) mocles only insomuch as they drained the detritus ofVRIL impaction out of the design structme. Most of the .auomalies emerge because of these conjugate 8Dd anti1:hcticai pmceaes. VRIL transactivity reached peak crescendi8Ddproducedcopiousdetrital quantities. These evCDts pmvented coded 11msfer due to excessive "static". Meaninglbl11msaction naver ceased fbnctioning during these evCD11. Meaningful tnDsactivity was con-· tinuous in the absence of electrical applications. Telegraphic systems WOiked because they served VRJL principles.•.uot electrical ones. Empirically discovemd components and their (appanmt) fimdions wem not thoroughly examined to discem important dif- ferences. It was assumed that these empirical fimdions WOie actual indications that the components w01e performmg electrical work functions. ID fact they wem not. The systems worked despite ofthe electrical impnrssmeats. Coils, MSistors, groundplates, aerial guidelines, buried conduits, batteries, capacitors, dteostats and other plll18 functioned for VRlL thmadworks. Inertial technology supaimposes artificial code upon VRIL eidetic imagery in systems. Telegraphers xeceive steady eidetiholistic experience of ev«y line tamiDal in absence of applied electricity. Telegraphen wem a SOCJ:etive guild, sharing secrets of the trade and mysterious phenomena ofthe daily operations of systems. These anecdotes 8Dd peculiarities am mentioned in trade joumals ofthe day. Telegraph sets am not code-touch sensitive. There is no electmmechanical means by which one may determine the personality or gender of a commUDicant. Yet telegraph operators were able to ascertain who was on the line by sensing their "touch". The midnight fantasies of telegraph opel'&t9rs were filled with strangeaccounts ofsudden anomalous distal perceptions. These "hallucinations" included time dilations, eidetic jomneys, vivid memories, sudden lucid revelations, bilocations. These signatures of eidetic transactions wem com- mon along the system. Dream and eidetic reality seemed a gmat blur at times. Sleep was effortless. Time lost meaning. Visions merged with messages. This fundamental empathic signal is VRIL. VRIL floods and saturates the system night and day. The satulation of telegraphic systems with VRIL energies resulted from the moment they were grounded and in- stalled. The blind insistence of engbl~ (in superimposing electric impulses upon the VRlL power) didnotpreventtheVRIL power from contiDuing to express itseU: It was this feature which brought forth all the momalous activities mgulady obsmved, catalogued, and published. l:mporbmt eidetic activities flood COIDp01lODtry aDd tho designs which technology employs in other services. The spontaneous exchaage of clairvoyant and empadlic impressions was a welllmown experience among telegraphic opemton. Night-time eidetic excursions were thought to be the Rllllt ofloneliaess. Participating night- time communicants became mutually clairvoyant and fully capable of commuuicating in excess of mere coded 11msfer. communicants could '1c:Dow" what the other party was about to say...and even discern the entile content ofan incoming call simply through the bell-sounding. Intent may be holistically transacted through VRlL Mm~U~Dt componCDts. l:nteat is an organismic VRJL amic inflection (modulation) which may be condudively tlaiiSaeted through molal lines and ground systems. The loneliness of the telegraphic outpost was punctuated by sudden and graphically eidetic visions of distant places. The thrilling saasations of bilocational travel made such eidetic imagery the only desiled quantity. To· communicate. To R18Ch across the silence of the night and call on distant strangers for response. Telegraphers often comprehended the whole of a message through eidetic means. The telegraphic and telephonic systems did what the Cathedral System in Europe bad done for those who hquented them. The use of ferruginous and metal-rich stones transformed natural VRlL ground nodes by an:hitectural enclosure. Telegraphy replaced the need formassive s1ructUre aud resonantchambers through the use of line componentry. It was possible to enjoin VRn.. archeforms and receive nwelatory communions through pte- cise entunement. Powerful eidetic focus was potentially available when ground-plate pen- etrations were properly emplanted. Geometric forms of componentry and systems were mysteriously penneated with Gothic symmetries. Componentry of telegraphy and telephony were significantly pro- portioned and physically disposed in analogous structure (Stearns, Buckingham, Jones). Single message telegraphic systems may be thought of as "monophonic" tuning in- struments. The multiple rate-loading of telegraphic systems is an historical note of gmat significance in technology. Rheostatically entuned systems were eidetically prescient and intelligent. Multiple rate-loaded systems were alchymycal lenses. 14 Increased chaanel handling capability bmught with it a new conscious poSSibility amoug operatol'l. Singular eidetic tlaDsac· tioDs could be fine-tuned and magnified tbmugh available timing componentry. Operatoll could be foc:uaed into singular eidetic worlds tbmugh ground nodes along their section of line. This was poSSible only when grouud nodes were actually pene1rated by the proper placement of ground-plate assemblages. Duplex, quadruplex, sextuplex, octupleL..multiplex systems could simultaneously eotune several distal eidetic uodeL These systems were multi- iccmic. Multiplex systems were projecton capable of permuting VRlL in1D 01D' space. The CODSCiousneamagnifying possibilities were uot fully appreciated. Alchymycal tbsion of several eidetic nodes resulted in astounding conscious tgnpnntatimul among the operaton. Permanent ccmscious polarizations result when eidetic traDsactions are projected, f~ sustained, and fixed into a space. Pennutations nsu1t when multiple entuned eidetic projections ant focussed into a space. CODSCiousness surmounts its I10IIDal experiential parameters and is magnified 1D unexpected pmportioas. VRIL perm111ations make new CODSCious elevations permaneDt. The duplex and multiplex patents must be properly viewed. These circuits engaged simultaneous conjugate VRlL 1raDsadions. No doubt there were better blends than others. Spontaneous 1rlllsmutative events discharge from the terminals of multiplex designs. The primary effects are conscious ones. Consciousness in a district is greatly heightened when multiple distal nodes are brought into eidetic fusion. Each patent design becomes progres- sively "polyphonic". Single line tuners enable the entunement of only single eidetic nodes. The entunement (the "rate'j conveys the meanings and empathic components which the ground node establishes. Commu- nicants become active sensory-system com- ponents. Multiple rheostatic designs have been proposed for use in the healing arts as "polyphonic" transactors. Several sepamte pamllel eidetic rates are simultaneously and independently applied 1D a patient in these forms. Total body tzeatment msults ftom multiple exposure to multiple eidetic nodes. VR.IL Alchymy simultaneously infuses space with multiple eidetic projections. Those who enter these spaces ant changed. Communicants mutually perceive in- tentions and expressions. Telegraphers could frequently ~ the message of those with whom they established line connection despite the click-clacking of telegraphic code. Exposure 1D the telegraphic block assembly brings VRIL arcs &om ground tbmugh tloon and into opezator's forehead (Stearns). The telegraphic block is an astoundingly focussed VRlL trausactor. Visceral sensations include body heat, sharp insensate VRIL focus in forehead, with .sharply focussed consciousness for severa1 boun after exposure. Copper supports organismic seasory experience. The VRlL eidetic beam which pmceeds 1iom the tops of telegraphic coils auracts organismic atteDtioaa and dmw operaaon 1D themselves. Contact made with the telegraphic by is eidetic:ally potential contact. VRIL world eidetic transaction comlllflllCOI with organismic con1act at the by. Bxmrination shows the simple artifice of hard nJbber and brass. These specific minerals and metals provide a rich sensual contact with VRlL tlueadways. Excessively deep eidetic experiences proceed without intemJption. Eidetic images and experiences of all oth.- terminals are excessively powerful through telegraphic block con1act. Place- ment of metal resouaton over vertical coils immensely increases VRlL eidetic tnmsactions. Telegraphy made total use of artificial inertial code and wu an imperfectly utilized VRIL transactor when coded communications were transmitted through the system. Telegraphic systems operated eidetically without applications of detrital powers. The VRlL resonant bell of telegraphic and telephonic sounders is extremely potent as an eidetic projector. When the VRIL resouant bell wu replaced by thin metal membranes a new step in VRlL technology wu realized. Bells, membtalles, and sounders were all fuDy capable of projecting holistic content of intended messages instanta- neously. The superior eidetic transaction among communicants through telephonic assemblies bu its buis in auric transactions. Telegmphic receiver blocks were housed in specially coated wooden hoods. Their carbonaceous content and geometric form makes them powerfully focussed VRIL eidetic projectors. Iron projects VR.IL threads. Fine-spun copper coils were wound upon iron armatures. Carbon softens the sting of iron potential transactivity. Copper 1raDSaCts visceral sensations. Coppersuppliesthe VRlL sensory system with synaesthesia. Duplex systems accommodated several distinct meanings simultaneously. Such multiple tate loading did not bring mutual conscious interference. Codes could be collaged and deranged by lin~interference. Greater rate-loading capacity of quadruplex and multiplex systems increased the conscious "polyphony». Capacity of multiplex systems 1D sustain, conduct, - ' project eidetic integrity of separate meanings and messages wu demonstlated. Multiple eidetic transactions and fusions were excessively potent near exchange terminals and switchboards. Eidetic transactions of meaning1b1 context remained preserved for each sepamte conversant. Opemton partook of the blending eidetic flux occurring among the terminal components. Telegraphic and telephonic systems glowed blackwith llOUIIleDOUS VRlL radiance. Multiplex systems nwealed a propensity tOr D1Uilei'OUS ground-plate implantations at taminal ends (Bucldngham, JoDCS, Steams, Thompson). Only a few designs employed the bold notion ofjoining all the separate ground lines into one main groundplate (Field). Multiply fused node-loaded lines were con1rolled by exchange operaton. Eidetic fusions permitted the simultaneously meaning1b11raDSac:tion of code and experience in telegmphic systems. Multiplex systems do not operate because they are resonantly tonal. Multiplex systems ant resonantly tonal because they transact VRlL eidetic continuities. In material configurations we empirically correlate tonal cotTeSpODdence with VRJL manifestations. We CIDI10t ptedict or equate the VRlL tonal resonance of a configuration without eidetic examination. Formulations do not operate because each design is a distinct identity. VRlL tonal conductivities of systems differ completely from simple acoustic resonance. VR.IL tonal conductivities of systems differ from simple electrical resonances. VRIL sensitives are devoted to the uatural VRIL structures they identify. VRlL sensitives ant devoted to componentry which engages VRIL transactivities. Beholders recognize that the v«y generative source of cODSCiousness and existence surges in Jan. ceolate distnbutions among special groundpenetrating componentry. VRIL DIFFRACTORS There are many patents which clearly operated in non-electrical modes.· There are instances in which we carefully discern componentry incapable of delivering effects claimed for electricity. Discovering the native phenomena which VRIL tnmsactively manifests is a plentiful thesamus. The VRIL thesaurus flooded the Victorian scientific archanum. System componentry is examined through eidetic potentials alone. What may be said of specific componentry requires individual detailed eidetic examination. We cannot make broad generalizations concerning the eidetic transadivity of mate- 15 rials and material configurations. Them am several specific oxamples which may bent give aid in comprehending the behavior of telegraphic systems. AUractioDs of mind and seuse am powerfitlly collimated through rock D:wsives, mineral rilles, metal lodes, CI)'Sta1 cavems, earth capacitors, aerial towers, pound termiDals, and entuDed system c:omponeotry. Casual ob.-vation may not mreal the suraing eidetic traDsac:tivity of seemingly static artifices. Telegraphic systems were JaqelyUDCbaqedduring otlbours. GroUDded systems tna11aet eideticaDy with those who am found in their immediate pmximity. The burial of telegraphic and telephonic cables in deep specially ccmfigmed conduits pmvided exceptional traDsactivity of eidetic worlds among opemton. These activities WeN especially powertbl during the night. Telegraph operators went quick to men1icm the exceptiODal clarity of sigDa1s during the night hours. Moderate exposure to these structutes suffiJses the beholder with viscem~ 1:l'aiiSICtivi1 These may not be consciously appreciated as eidetic fluorescence. Most persons experience eidetic traDs1atious constantly and do not express surprise. Telegraphic statious am noumenous in appearance because they congeal, direct, and a pounded carbon lOci at various positious. Each eidetic node in the carbon lOci pen;nits specific distal position and angulated view. ADalysis of the term "iaeostat" bas intriguing implicatious. "Rheos" refers to waves. "Stathis" refers to stationary. A rheostat was comprehended as a "wave station". To which waves were the origiuators referring? The addition of rheostatic components varies the aspect of any individual eidetic experience by permitting sweeping views through the contacted node. These sweeping views am called difltactious. Rheostats provide diffractive eidetic :sweeps of VRIL channelry. Each positiODal node gives the participant a new eidetic angle. Organismic movement is not required. ~·Rheostats differ according to their material composition and geometric form. Slide-contact rheostats reveal the longitudinal disposition of eidetic nodes in a material volume. Carbon, nichrome, osmium, and tungsten are among some rheostatic materials. Each selects specific eidetic population characteristic of the material substance. Careful and sensitive variation of slide-contact position permits diftiactive eidetic sweeps of a local VRIL channel view without operator motion. The VRIL sensory system experiences what the eidetic sweep reveals. Positious may be held fixed in time for detailed examination (Buell). VRIL op- cntors J1181188e the spontaneous entunement ofspecific nodes. Experiential knowledge of distal events and circumstances may be apprehended by thee meaus. Contact-filters am required for ease of organismic transaction with substances. Gmnulated carbon, iJon, and manganese dioxide powders have been successtblly employed to these ends. This mixture may be mixed with plastic or paint substntes and bnJshed on glass surfaces. Such filters ease the 11'111S1Ctive traDsitions on behalf of the operator.

This mixture may be mixed with plastic or paint substrates and bmshed on glass surfaces. Such filters ease the transactive transitious on behalf of the operator. Most rheostats utilize a rod of carbon which has been end-grounded. Slide-contact pmvides node transaction which necessarily involves all the other nodes along the md length. Material configurations in which numerous projections are individually gmunded through Ibeostatic connectious are noteworthy eidetic transactors Little). Each rheostatic eidetic node is separately gmunded and activated. This design permits individual strong contacts which are not eidetically diluted by passage through all the other nodes. Rheostatic components made excellent excessive use ofcarbon (Edison, Rosebmgh). Anomalous terminology was used by inventors to describe rheostatic action on static conditiODS (Buell). Tunable bridge Ibeostatic components reveal the nature ofeidetic transaction and static formation (Steams). Strong rheostatic contact pmvides strong eidetic experience. Least electrical nsisdvity is associated with closest eidetic view. Great elec1ric nsisdvity is associated with furthest eidetic view along a VRIL cbaDneL This empiricaDy determined invene correlation is significant. Eidetic ditfnM:tive traDsactivity inversely d...,.mes electric conductivity. The strictly electro-detrital operation of componentry is an ll1ificiaJiy forced condition. Technological designs are VRIL designs in their fimdamen1al being. Blectri-detrdal adivity is understood through VRIL reactivity in materials. Scweml designs employed special materials for the tedudion of "line static". Experiential static is the true spontaneous soun:e ofelectrical static pmduction in a line. The eidetic ·principles am ·pte-detrital (pre-electrical) iu nature. Eidetic 11aDSactivities am spontaneous and continual in VRIL Space. Natural pound and material eidetic nodes spontaneously pmduce static constmtly. The production of static strongly correlates with spontaneous eidetic transactivities.••but static ptodw:tion remains typically weak in comparison with the eidetic potential. Static appears in several designed instances. Systems inadvertently sharply entune and fix specific singular eidetic nodes to release static de1ritus. Certain grounds are composed of inertio- absotptive matter (halides, carbonates, silicates). Such grounds should not be entuned sharply. There are pound massives in which static newer appears. Such gmunds am specific mineral-rich districts whose structure and composition are strongly eidetic and which dissolve detritus ("staticj. Systems which enjoin improperly connected eidetic pound nodes invariably are plagued with "static" detritus. Enterprise did not concern itself with proper placements and geomantic considerations. Systems were improperly erected in the great msb westward. Telegmphic statious went plagued with static when gmund-plates went sunk into the wmng spots. Samuel Morse experienced this phenomenon when attempting the first telegraphic lines. Ground-burial of cables was the initial plan. This project was quickly abandoned when so much static SUddenly appeared that signalling was impo111ble. The aerial erec1icm of guidelines was the solution. Aerial guidelines were sometimes 16 plagued with static at odd intervals. Weather aud wind bad UUie to do with these spontaneous appear8llC& Tho aumral activity could not be cited in those penisteDt episodes of static congestion. Tho momalous appearauco of "static" along buried cables is olectricaDy problematic: grounded objclc1s am supposed to lose charge. Aerial elcvatiou spontalloously "acquhe charge" though well grouu.decl at wery intervaL Therefont charge is the detrital ntlidue of a mont fimdamontal eaergctic t:rau- action. That onorgy is VRJL. Dr.G. LeBon provided experimental evidence for the spon1alleous appearance of charge and of radioactivity in matter. His solution did not glimpse tho secret truth conceming the 1D8IIIlC in which consciousness interadl with matter to produce stnmge inertio-physical mamifestations. VRIL is the vast CODSCioUIIlOII ofwhich we partake. VR.IL contiuually interacts with i1s own projectious. Minerals and metals display strange spontrmeous etfects in appa181lt absence ofcause. Tho "instability" of radioactive nuclei is tho commonly cited expJaDation. Tosla suggested that extemal bombardment caused dense nuclei to explode. His suggestion that space-genemted aedleric particles impinge on matter is noteworthy. Eidetic tmDsaction is the VR1L projection of ccmsc:ious worlds into inertial space. Projected materials impact inertial space in various exhibited manners. Certain minerals, metals, and organic substances· absorb, disperse. accumulate, density, and project inertial detritus with their eidetic projections. All material displays and their effecu on the inertial space may be compnmended by recognizing that matter is a conscious projection. The vastness which is VRIL projects, generates, and sustains matter and space. Original VRD.. matter is mysterious. It may be that many commonplace observations am the direct effecu of VRD.. original matter. Ground node coiUlections instantly load ~systems with inhenmt meanings and message. These may be entuned with fine precision. Additions of wsignal clarifiers" enbanco eidetic projectivity of VR1L nodes. Tho empirical design and efficacious use of specific componen1s was developed throughout telegraphic history. Componentry cannot be reduced to functions. Componentry must be eidetically studied according to forms. Each form, each material, each orientation gives distinctly diffenmt eidetic experience to the examiner. Round clear glass plates differ entirely from squand glass plates. Metals completely differ in their eidetic projections when used in capacitative forms. Variable parallel plate capamtative forms (baftled) eidetically differ ftom rotating vane capaciton. Tho technological gatdea aft"otded VR.IL Design is exceedingly prolific. VRIL Designen should be glad to recognize the dis- tinctive and iDdividual identity ofeach item. .object, and form. VRIL Science requiles carefill and detailed empirical account of each sepatato compollOJlt. Stlallgo vortexial rheostats were empirically designed to block the "sttdic discharge" (Field). Tuuable wire coil rheostats were employed for '1Wancing tile line"' to eradicate static (Buell, Little). Rheostats permit adjusamen1s in proportiooal balances between VRIL trausactivities and inertial reactivities. Variable vane-capacitors provide sweeping aDd clarified eidetic views specific to their material compositicm, geometric form, and physical disposition. Grounded variable potentiometers offer ro1aticmal eidetic views in the vertical plano whoa aligned perpendicular with local VRIL clwmelry. Vertical carbon mds brings eidetic sympathy with formative worlds. One experience the forest-lite pntSODce of glowing bJact cylindrical forms. Slide- contact carbon rod rheostats must be held in flush groUDd contaGt for distinct eidetic nodes to appear. Each gives sweeping horizontal view of distinct VRIL channel positions. Angulations along brancated surface threadways am distinct and positionally fixed with regild to compoDOilt sweep. The conductive use of substances to provide ~lower signal speed"' is anomalous. A small section ofresistive material does not slow signal speed or store signals as in the manner of loaded transmission lines. The use of water as a message-retarding medium is an anomalous patent entry which is nonelectric in principle (Hughes). Wat. does empirically inhibit, densify, and nttard eidetic transactions: this is the 1nJo cause ofthe observed effect 011 eledro-detritus. All discussion which deal with capacitors and batteries begin with Galvaui. Luigi Galvaui demonstrated the organismic influence of sepamted dissimilar metals. Projected strains are sensed in tho space between dissimilar metal plates. Proper ground emplacement and plate alignment enhances these vitalizing strain components. Galvaui did not deal with detrital fragmen1s. Galvaui especially strove to eliminate such static effects from his arrangements. He equated dangerous detrital com- ponents in both thunderstorm conditions and static electrical machines long before Fnmldin's demonmati011. His fair weather observations mention the fact that· "'.•.metal plates, aerial terminals, and grounded lines yield sudden, powerful, thrilling shocks...which do not register 011 the most sensitive gold-leaf elec1roscopo...". Luigi Galvani described the visceral effects displayed through various spaced metallic arrangements. These wore ~lling•••vitalizing•••joyful•••". Though powertbl and impressive tho eidetic projectiou of matter aud material configurations am the most fimdamental pow..... exceeding the visceral effects. Galvani did not report these eidetic phenomeaa. No doubt he and his assistanu mceived them. These would not be part of tho experimental recold. Anecdotal commen1s made among the experimenters would include suddea. "visitations" of memory, impression, color, mood, and conscious traDslation. Petbaps most trained observ. . do not allow themselves the luxmy of reporting their wery impression, mood, thought, and vision. Approaching large DOilpOWenx:l electromagnets produces immediate visceral sensations of sharply focussed vision. Visceral non-acoustic tones are pronounced in the immediate space. Stmng diaphragmic oblations C8Dil0t be ignored near these structures. Why did not Joseph Henry report those overwhelming effects? Academic Science forbids, limits, and retricts sensation. Such empirically transient impressiODS form the strong and valuable part during experimentation. VRIL empirical science stands upon the native phenomena which appear during experimental procedures. Perhaps the prolific amount of such impressions was denied by experimenters whoso minds were ovOICOIIle by them. Pedlaps there were those voices which sought to eradicate these eidetic impressions ftom science altogether; claiming them to be the mere "wanderings of undisciplined minds". Replacing empirical participation and eidetic impressions with meters and statistical analysis has not achieved more humanly valuable knowledge. The question which designers will addless c011cems itself with classifying the Galvani designs: are these batteries, cODdensers, or capacitors? Diffentnce exist among components whose original namings mains the tmth. Capacitors and condensers are not identical. Capacitors and condensers perform diffenmt functions when properly empowered and utilized. Capacitors are geometric material dispositions which sustain an energetic tluL Capacitors act as valves and gateways of other worlds. Tho capacitor is a flowing reservoir. VRIL capacitative transactors behave as 17 wells, reservo~n, and fountains. VRIL nusactive surges flood the design configuratiolll and project VRIL eidetic eXperiences through districts and regions: these are sensed in abscce ofmaterial con1act when properly ammged. Capacitors aet as experiential termiDals and as eidetic retiDas for COIDIIlUIIicants. VRIL capacitors are connected diNctly with ground and interlink aerial with ground: they are tlowing reservoirs. Capacitors permit modulations and modifying iDf1wmces. VRIL capacitors behave as valves for eidetic tnmsactioas. Such desips MIDIIDl fixed as stations having specific positional alignments. Several capacitors in tho patent record are anomalous in form, composition and fimction. There are many capacitor-varieties, configurat:icms, and symmetries. Some capacitor desips were strange hybrids of resistors, acc:umulatora, condeasm, and earth batteries (Muirhead, Smith). Capacitora may be made with dissimilar metals (Galvani). Some took tho form of organically coated dw:ts (faylor, Muirhead). Capacitors may use minerals and salts (Moinko, Bradford). Capacitors may use vegetable matter, germinating seeds, and peen moss (Mesmer}. Special capacitors and conductive arrays enjoined telegraphic and telephonic systems to tho ground (Muidlead}. Special capacitms and formularies for preparing them include organic pastes and. metal powders made to baJanco tho liDo (faylor}. Viscerotonic effects ofVRIL capaciton are notable. Capacitors were designed which acted as intensifiers ofeidetic transaction (Vusilatos). Certain capacitor designs greatly collimate and inteasify eidetic sipals. Sharp experiential axes 1ransact meaning and code transfers. Capacitors are VRIL active only in specific alignments. Their plates must be parallel with the existing 7VRIL chamlehy in a district. Capacitors are flowing eidetic transactors and 1ransformers. Capacitors give special tunnelled ten: sions when dissimilar metals are used. One experiences remarkable transformations of immediate surroundings when horizontal dispositions are used and eidetically examined. Zinc horizontal multi-baftled capacitors (air gap) reveal a wintry night world of wonderful snowy starlight. One is eidetically 1ranslated up from the ground into the twinkling tufts of penetrating luminous white in varying elevations. Positioning of the plates effects and fixes experiential elevation. Such experience is comfortable, close, and secme. There is· every sense of a comforting presence on all sides•..hopeful vision ofdesire in spaceward directions. Such horimntal baftled zinc plate-capacitors were.used in wireless apparatus for good reason. Eidetic access to upper space was instantaneous and s1lollg. Strongly elevational eidetic reactivities are produced in parallel plate capacitors when grounded. Tho closing of plates intensifies eidetic content with controllable variable elevations of view. Various VRIL capaciton increase tho visceral tones of whole surroundings: pure viaceral (non-acoustic} tones are heard louder and highly clarified acroa a volume of space. This condition also succeeds in drawing sounds of tho environment into a focus about tho capacitor plates. Capacitor plates may be grounded. Varieties of aerial or earthed metal plate combiuations wiD reveal unoxpocted VRIL reactions (Bear, Shoemaker, Murps et.al.). VRIL active capacitors may be CODS1rW:ted 1iom various mat.mials (Mamer, Galvani, Reich, Theroux). These designs must be aligned with ctinimilar plates perpeadicular to VRIL clwmelry. The copper plato must face us when copper and zinc is used. Right hand holds copper...left holds zinc. Vague eidetic image of forest periphery in black bloom (during winter~}. Amazing ISJ1t obtained by singing into tho plate duct. Capacitor gave sud- den strong eidetic images of tho tar forest wall. Images fade in a few seconds until mactivated by a whistle or vocal utterance. Pitch effects verticality of eidetic view. Higher pitch goes vertical over the eidetic ground node. Angle of view decreases with decreasing pitch. VRIL transactions may be magnified and modulated by organismic intonations. VRIL supplies the projective consciousness. Capaciton become eidetic-1ransactive through VRIL thread counections. Eidetic powerdevelops "static" in capacitors through spontaneous VRIL transactions. Testa superimposed electrostatic impulses upon the eidetic supply of the capacitor. Kilner, Testa, Reichenbach, Abrams and others discovfnd that electrostatic and magnetically impulsed capacitors released greatly expanded eidetic transactions throughout the smroundings. The eidetic causes generate the "electric" effects. Varieties of capacitors release differing energetic species when viewed eidetically. Eidetic images vanish when capacitors are mildly charged electrically. Positive copper plate faces the operator. Powerful eidetic journey commences when tones or vocal expressions are directed into the plate duct toward the ground. The most astonishing eidetic wandering along certain VRIL tlueadways is experienced. Visceral effects are instantaneous in the hands and arms and persist for several JDOIIlOilts th..tter. Vacuum tubes as capacitors must be VRIL chamlel aligned. Pins must face the operatorwhile operator faces tho VRIL channel soun:o direction.

Zinc plates separated by clear glass give prognssivo black ground horimDs of position out and away Dum the con1act point. Aluminium fixes progressive eidetic projection horimDs out into the bright whitened sky. ScroD-wound capacitors permit dilectionality of eidetic experience only when physica11y rotated with respect 1D the ground. They do notpermit eidetic traDslation through eidetic node contact a1ono. One must move these devices through space as probes. Vertical positioning brings ilritating inertial flux into body but reveals environmental realities not apparent with the 5-sensors. Scroll-wound capacitors give bilocations. Electrolytic capacitors project a powerfbl insensate VRIL thread along axis where pointed. Threads do not permit eidetic participation. Excessive back-inertial flux causes operator certain irritative pain. Small electrolytic capacitors produce high-pitched visceral tones. Larger ones provide mild focussed bilocations out to local ground nodes. Condensers IN specific designs which resemble batteries. Condensers focus, fix, and hold an energetic condition into experiential space. Condensers focus, sharpen, and clariiY specific eidetic experience. Condensen have a special function as VRIL TI'IDSIIluters. Condensers allows tho powerfuDy focussed fUsion of multiple eidetic projections. Condensers may be ground- connected through lines but never groundemplaced. They are made to resist spontaneous transitions which the VRIL environment manifests. Condensers maintain a strict rigor of eidetic entunement for alchymycal purposes. Condensers are experiential dootways which fix, focus, and project transactions. A condenser is an projective isolator, a reactor terminal where stresses and tmnsmutations remained fixed. Condensers are VRIL eidetic transmutors in which fixed eidetic transmutations may be openly experienced throughout a region. VRIL condensers are VRIL Reactors. 18 These are powedbl cnu:ibles and leases of times initating and nervoua sensation of .mient tDDiadivities.

News, 75. p. 302, that certain metala, co~ printing-ink, etc. bad an action similar to light on a eeueitiaed film. The active constituents of the organic boditta mentioned were found to be oU and turpentine. Further experiments 1 showed that ~e following wera active substances :-Vegetable ..-..llr."''ln and euential oils, paraldehyde, benzaldehyde, guiacum, cimwnon, spirita of nitre, eau-de-cologne, and ~rebene. The activity seems to depend on the reducing power: thus, linseed oil is very active, while olive oil, \vhich bu a far lese reducing power, is only slightly ao. Also oxidiaed OOdies nearly related to the terpenes-euch u t.e.rpinoJ, camphor, and thymol-are inactive. With aome of these active bodies solarisation can be obtained. Among the metals, zinc, cadmium, magnesium, alliminium, and fusible metal are ac.-tive ; while lead, nickel, tin, silver, sodium, and mercury are inactive. A very slight trace (so small u one three-hundredth per cent.) of zinc is sufficient to make mercury highly active. Again, alcohol when pure is inactive, but after being in contlk.--t with zinc becomes active, this activity remaining after filtration and to a certain extent after distillation. Zinc after long exposure to the air is inactil"e, and is more active the cleaner its surface. The experiments show concl118ively that the action is due to a vapour emanating from the bodies; the acti...e vapour <1m, for instance, be carried by a stream of air ~net the plate.

The whole surface of the "earth appears to be dh·ided up into areas over which certain c•onditions prevail ; these areas being the cross sec·tions of shafts m· eolumns whi<·h cxt<·nd ,·crtically both upwards and downwards · passing from one colun1n to another the dowser is <.'Onscious of a moV"ement of his divining rod ; the strength or the influeru..oe being proportional to the magnitude of the change in the conditions of the two shafts. I set out to discover in what medium or system these changes take place. The known systems in which such variation might possibly occur are (1) gravity, (2) rnagneti8m, (3) potential gradient in the atrn08phere. (4) so~e fonn of radiation. I dismissed gravity at onc:e from my calculations because although it is known that ,·ariations in this force do oc(.'ur at different parts of the world, it is highly improbahlc that therf' could be any sudden local change because in this case pendulum clocks would vary in their rate when moved from one side of a room to the other if there were an u~derground stream beneath them. I know that von Pohl claims that the rate of clocks and watches doea vary when they come under the influence of the deadly earth rays which he describes, but if there had really been any truth in this statement I feel that Greenwich would · have had something to s~y about it years ago. Similar arguments show that it is n~ry unlikely that there are sudden <·hanges in the force of magnetism, but in this case I did carry out a series of experiments with a coil of copper wire rotating at a uniform speed. The two ends of the coil were con· nerled to a gulvanomcter. and as the rotating <·oil <·ut the lines of magnet-it• forct•. a potential wa:-;, of •·um-st'. generated. and the galvanometct· gnve a definite reading.
