The purpose of the\nfollowing pages is to investigate whether there is a fundamental difference\nbetween a living being and an inanimate object, or if the main difference is\nonly in the complexity that a living being shows compared to any non-living\nthing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to do this, we\nwill expose the work of a series of scientists, who researched the Living Kingdom\nand who came to the conclusion that there actually is some force or energy that\nis measurable, and that is specific to living organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carl Reichenbach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Baron Dr. Carl Ludwig von\nReichenbach (1788-1869) was educated at the University of T\u00fcbingen\nwhere he obtained a degree of Doctor of Philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His position as the head\nof a large chemical works, iron furnaces and machine shops allowed him to\nconduct large-scale experimental research. Among his achievements, was the\ndiscovery of a large number of valuable hydrocarbon compounds, such as\ncreosote, paraffin, eupione, phenol (antiseptics) and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1839 he retired from\nindustry and started researches on pathologies of the human nervous system. He\nstudied neurasthenia, somnambulism, hysteria and phobia, concluding that these\ncondition were affected by the moon. After studying many patients, he found out\nthat these problems tended to affect people who were particularly sensitive. He\ncarried out innumerable experiments and researches on such patients, coming to\nthe conclusion that some kind of force closely related to magnetism was\nmanifesting itself on living things. He called it Odic Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilhelm Reich<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957)\nwas an Austrian-American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who worked with Sigmund\nFreud in the 1920s. He was a respected analyst for much of his life, focusing\non character structure. Already in those years, he was a promoter of adolescent\nsexuality, the availability of contraceptives, abortion and divorce, and the\nimportance for women to have economic independence. Following Freud’s\nhypothesis of the existence of a biological sexual energy in the body (Freud’s\nlibido, later redefined as a mere psychological idea) he conducted clinical\nwork that convinced him of the existence of such an energy. He discovered that\nthe function of the orgasm is to maintain an energy equilibrium by discharging\nexcess biological energy that builds up naturally in the body. He also\nconcluded that sexual gratification in fact alleviates neurotic symptoms. He\ngradually went away from Freud’s path, as he supported the idea that “… you don\u2019t think from the\nstandpoint of the state and the culture, but from the standpoint of what people\nneed and what they suffer from. Then you arrange your social institutions\naccordingly”<\/em> (excerpt from “Reich speaks to Freud”). Freud,\non the other hand, maintained that culture takes precedence, and that sexual\ninstincts must be adapted to the existing social structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He promoted sex education,\nbirth control, divorce rights and better housing. When working in Berlin in the 1930, he\nwas one of the few members of the Berlin Psychoanalytic Association to openly\noppose the rise of the Nazi Party. This position eventually brought him to\nbeing denounced by his own fellows and in 1933 he was forced to flee Germany when\nHitler went on power. He went to Norway where he was able to carry\non his researches. Through analysis of human subjects, Reich was able to\ndemonstrate a charge at the skin’s surface directly related to feelings of\npleasure and anxiety. From this, he concluded that pleasure is the movement of\nbiological energy toward the periphery of the organism, while anxiety is the\nmovement of this energy toward the center. He initially assumed that biological\nexcitation of living matter might be electrical, but the results of these\nexperiments indicated otherwise. For example, the biological energy that he measured\nmoved in a slow, wave-kind fashion, in contrast to electromagnetic energy which\nmoves much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He then conducted\nlaboratory experiments using time-lapse motion picture equipment affixed to\nmicroscopes with over 3000x magnification to record the development of\nprotozoa. During these experiments, he discovered that under certain condition,\nsterilized and unsterilized substances – grass, blood, sand, charcoal and\nfoodstuff – disintegrate into pulsating vesicles that often exhibit a bluish\ncolor. Reich observed internal motility in these vesicles. He called them\n“bions”, after the Greek word for life. His research also revealed\nthat certain bions exhibited a strong, radiation phenomena, and that these\nbions could kill bacteria and cancer cells. This radiation confirmed the\nexistence of an energy that did not obey any known laws of electricity or\nmagnetism. Reich called this energy “Orgone”. After publication of\nhis findings, he was attacked by the scientific and psychiatric communities.\nWith the Second Word War starting to rage, he was able to flee to America where\nhe carried on his research on Orgone energy until his death in 1957. We won’t\ndescribe his further investigations into this subject. Suffices it to say that\nhe later invented a device, called the Orgone Accumulator, with the use of\nwhich he was able to treat various diseases, including cancer. Following the\ninvention of this device, he was persecuted by the FDA (Food and Drug\nAdministration) for years for fraudulent claims on the Orgone Accumulator. They\ninterviewed numbers of Reich’s associates, students, patients, etc. looking for\ndissatisfied users. None were ever found. Still, his work has gone into\noblivion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Georges Lakhovsky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Georges Lakhovsky\n(1869-1942) was an engineer, scientist, author and inventor. He conducted\nextensive research into biological mechanisms, concluding that all living cells\n(plants, humans, bacteria, parasites, etc.) possess attributes which are\nnormally associated with electronic circuits. These cellular attributes include\nresistance, capacitance and inductance. These 3 electrical properties, when\nproperly configured, will cause the recurrent oscillation of high frequency\nsine waves when sustained by a small, steady supply of outside energy of the\nright frequency (similar to modern radio circuitry). This effect is known as\nresonance. His research showed that not only do all living cells produce and\nradiate oscillations of very high frequencies, but they also receive and\nrespond to oscillations imposed upon them from outside sources. But where do\nthese outside frequencies come from? Lakhovsky says that they are due to cosmic\nrays which bombard the earth continuously (a well-known fact which has been\nstudied extensively in the last century). He found that healthy cells have a\nspecific frequency, which is changed or dampened when a cells has a disease. He\nfurther discovered that if he could increase the amplitude (but not the\nfrequency) of healthy cells, this increase would overwhelm and dampen the\noscillations produced by the disease causing cells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lakhovsky initially proved\nhis theory using plants. He inoculated 10 germanium plants with a plant cancer.\nOn one of the infected plants, he simply fashioned a heavy copper wire coil (a\ncoil is a fundamental element of resonant circuitry) with the right diameter\nwhich in turn acted as an antenna collecting and concentrating oscillation\nenergy from high frequency cosmic rays. Ho chose the diameter in such a way as\nto make it resonate to the range of healthy plant cells. Reinforcing the\nnatural health frequency of the cells, this allowed the plant to overwhelm the\noscillations of the cancer cells and the tumors fell off in less than 3 weeks\nand by 2 months the plant was thriving. All of the other cancer-inoculated\nplants died within 30 days. He later fashioned similar coils for human use, and\nin the European pre-war period they were widely used and researched in\nuniversities and hospitals. With the advent of the war, he fled from France (where he was working) and went to the United States.\nHe developed a machine called Multiple Wave Oscillator which was tested in a New York Hospital with remarkable results. But\nafter his unexpected death in 1942, his devices where quickly removed from\nhospitals and his work too fell into oblivion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harold Saxton Burr<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Harold Saxton Burr\n(1889-1973) was a Professor of Anatomy at Yale University\n School of medicine. In\n1911 he received his Ph.B. at Sheffield\n Scientific School,\nand got his Ph.D. at Yale in 1915. He later became Professor at Yale in 1929.\nOver forty years (from 1916 to 1956) he published 93 scientific papers. Studies\non meninges and other neural bodies (such as the amblystoma) led him to propose\nthe “electro-dynamic theory of development”, which he later published\nin his general papers “The electro-dynamic theory of life” and\n“Electrical characteristics of living systems”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was noted for his use\nof voltmeter to detect the electromagnetic potential of the body. His\nresearches contributed to the electrical detection of cancer cells, experimental\nembryology, neuroanatomy and the regeneration and development of the nervous\nsystem. His studies of the bio-electrics of ovulation and menstruation\neventually led to the marketing of fertility-indicating devices. Other studies\nof the electrodynamics of trees, carried out over decades, suggested\nentrainment to diurnal, lunar and annual cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his late book\n“Blueprint for immortality” he contended that the electro-dynamic\nfield of all living things, which may be mapped and measured with standard voltmeters,\ncontrol each organism’s development, health and mood. He named these fields\n“fields of life” or L-fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As is being clearly stated\nin the Wikipedia Article on the L-field: “..The\nvoltage measurements he used are not in doubt, but the scientific community has\nall but ignored Burr’s term and his interpretation of the field as a\nblueprint-like mold for all life”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In his research, he showed\nthat changes in the electrical potential of the L-field were associated with\nchanges in the health of the organism. For instance, he found that the axis of\nEM polarity in a frog’s egg could predict the spinal axis of fetal development,\na fact which suggested that the L-field was the organizing matrix for the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his work with humans,\nhe detailed his successes in charting and predicting the ovulation cycles of\nwomen, locating internal scar tissue and diagnosing potential physical ailments\nthrough the reading of the individual’s L-field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Student and colleague\nLeonard Ravitz carried Burr’s work forward. He focused on the human dimension,\nconcluding that the human L-field directly relates to changes in a person’s\nmental and emotional states. Most intriguingly, Ravitz showed that the L-field\nas a whole disappears before physical death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robert Becker and Gary Selden<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These two scientists and\nauthors have written a book called “The Body electric: Electromagnetism\nand the foundation of life”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robert Becker, an\northopedic surgeon, describes in this book his research on regeneration of\ntissue after lesions. Starting from the idea that the electric fields play an\nimportant role in the control of the regeneration processes, he mapped these\nelectric potential at various body parts during regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mapping showed that\nthe central parts of the body normally was positive, and the limbs negative.\nWhen a limb of a salamander or frog was amputated, the voltage at the cut\nchanged from about -10 mV (millivolts) to +20 mV or more the next day. In a\nfrog, the voltage would simply change to the normal negative level in four weeks\nor so, and no limb regeneration would take place. In a salamander, however, the\nvoltage would during the first two weeks change from the +20 mV to -30 mV, and\nthen normalize (to -10 mV) during the next two weeks\u2014and the limb would be\nregenerated. Following the results of his researches, he applied external\nelectrical stimulation in the proper form to patients whose bones had failed to\nheal, and was thus able to induce the bones to heal faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Semyon Davidovich Kirlian<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Semyon Davidovich Kirlian\n(1898-1978) was a Russian inventor and researcher who discovered and developed\nKirlian photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the 1940s he and\nhis wife developed and perfected apparatuses which employed a high-frequency\noscillator and that were able to “take photographs” around objects.\nThese photographs showed strange spark-like bursts being released around living\ntissue. Kirlian was convinced that these sparks originated from some kind of\nenergy field that living organisms have. An experiment advanced as evidence of\nenergy fields in living entities involved taking Kirlian contact photographs of\na picked leaf at set periods, its gradual withering being said to correspond\nwith a decline in the strength of the living energy field. In some other experiments,\nif a section of a leaf was torn away after the first photograph, a faint image\nof the missing section would remain when a second photograph was taken. By 1949\nit was determined that Kirlian photography could detect incipient plant disease\nthat was not otherwise detectable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Experimenting further upon\nthemselves, the Kirlians acquired the first results showing that Kirlian\nphotography could provide an index of a person’s physical health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 1960s the Kirlians’\neffort attracted widespread recognition and official support. Their first\nscientific paper was published in 1961 and in 1962 Scientific institution\naround the Soviet Union were set to work on\nKirlian photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pier Luigi Ighina<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’d like to mention Ighina\ncause I personally met him in 2001, just before his death in 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was born in 1908 in Milan and studied\nelectronics and radio electronics. He allegedly became a cooperator of\nGuglielmo Marconi sharing with him all the most important experiments and\ninventions (not confirmed by the Marconi institutions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n He developed a theory of\nhis own, where he explained that life is the result of a combination of 2 energies,\nthe first coming from the sun and spiraling clockwise, and the second coming\nfrom the earth and spiraling anti-clockwise. He further stated that he had\nsucceeded in watching what he called the “magnetic atom” with a\nspecial microscope that he developed by himself. He later was apparently able\nto generate and manipulate such magnetic atoms, with which he could do many of\nthe things done by the other scientist presented above. He also talks of\nfrequencies, resonance, life energy and the like. He lived an isolated life,\nonly ridiculed by the institutions and academic organizations. Given the small\namount of documentation he has left behind, we will never know if he really did\nwhat he said. I just wanted to mention him here for the apparent parallelisms\nwith the other scientists we are presenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The scientists which I\nhave presented are just a small part of a large quantity of scientists who,\nover a time-span of 4-5000 years and coming from different places, have studied\nsimilar things obtaining similar results and developing similar theories. I\nhave intentionally said 4-5000 years because to anyone familiar with ancient\nChinese, Indian and even Greek philosophies and practices, the analogies with\nwhat these scientists have discovered are more than obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, what is most\nimpressive in all these scientists is that they were often studying completely\ndifferent fields of knowledge (from biology to electronics, from psychology to\nphysics) but came to conclusions which were astoundingly similar as to the\nbasic theory underlying all facets of nature, the cosmos and human life. They\nwere also sadly similar in the persecution they suffered from Established\nAuthorities and Academic Circles. In Wilhelm Reich’s case, his books were once\neven publicly burned in Post Second World War America!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t want to support or\ndismiss any of the theories presented, but I think that a honest and scientific\nattitude towards knowledge would require that the findings exposed above should\nbe investigated for the good of all mankind. If they should be dismissed as\nquackery (which is being done everyday by mainstream scientists), then this\nshould be done AFTER a thorough study and research and not just on the basis\nthat they are too different or too “crazy” for being accepted by the\nscientific community. And this is even more so when considering the chaos which\nis leading science nowadays. The biologist will not agree with the\nneuroscientist, the chemist will not agree with the physicist, the\narchaeologist will not agree with the engineer, etc., etc., etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Follows a short list of\nother scientists, know and unknown, living and not living, who have independently\nobtained similar results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nikolas Tesla (Electronic\nengineer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Viktor Schauberger\n(physicist)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ruth Drown (medical\ndoctor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Albert Abrahms (medical\ndoctor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Franz Anton Mesmer <\/p>\n\n\n\n Royal Rife (inventor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n William Thomson (Lord\nKelvin, physicist)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Konstantin Meyl (quantum\nphysicist)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trevor Constable<\/p>\n\n\n\n Samuel Hahnemann\n(physician)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The purpose of the following pages is to investigate whether there is a fundamental difference between a living being and…<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":684,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[280,278,279,215],"class_list":["post-1058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english","tag-etheric-energy","tag-life-energy","tag-life-force","tag-orgone-energy"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1058"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1059,"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1058\/revisions\/1059"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirkokulig.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
