The construction of Radionic Instruments has been one of the great difficulties in our work. Elementary radio and electrical components were the only parts available in the early days, and it is natural that these should have been used.

For years scientists, doctors and laymen have asked, “What is inside your ‘Box’ … can I have a look at the circuits?” My reply has invariably been, “Yes, certainly.” And having looked, in most cases the reactions have been uncomplementary.

“This is rubbish, a lot of nonsense, it couldn’t possibly work.” And immediately they would turn their attention elsewhere.

I have always held, and still do so, that science MUST and WILL eventually find the keys to solve the radionic riddles. I make this optimistic statement because science and radionics are today very close to being linked.

Mike Roberts, an expert and inventive Electronic Engineer whom I mention in my Introduction, and who has spent a great deal of time on Radionic instrumentation, has made one for me. We introduce a new concept in its construction, as well as assuring, as far as possible, electrical circuitry. But before describing it, let us run over the construction of the dial mechanisms that have gradually evolved during the 70 years of radionic endeavour.

To begin with Abrams used a variable resistance box in his initial experiments, and later, variable capacitors and inductors in some of his more advanced instruments.

Dr. Drown in her HVR Instrument used a series of ‘studs’ mounted in a circle made from hardboard or plywood, with a copper wiper moving over these studs. The studs were connected, one to the other, with stiff wire, and the dials were connected in series. These dials were not ‘electrical’ components but were especially made for her instruments.

Guyon Richards followed Abrams work and used a resistance box. He also experimented with various forms of valve amplifiers to amplify the radionic waves. Faraday cages and screens came into his experiments and a fuller explanation of his work is outlined in his book The Chain of Life.

Delawarr started by using a series of stub aerials. Later he devised a form of ‘split washer’ arrangement that covered the full 360° of arc but for some reason dial calibrations still had a gap between start and finish. At a still later date the Delawarr laboratories changed to radio type potentiometers.

In more modern times Malcolm Rae used potentiometers for his Base 44 instrument, but there is a difference here in the dial calibrations. Instead of the usual 0 – 10 markings, Rae devised a system that employs the numerals 1 – 44.

From the front a Radionic Instrument has a mass of dials and switches and one could be forgiven for thinking it is a complex form of electrical instrument. Delving into the back reveals a series of interconnecting wires and this further strengthens the illusion of electrical circuitry. They SEEM electrical… therefore they ARE.

But what has to be remembered is that these dials and wires are not carrying electrical signals as the scientist understands them. They were never designed to do this, but to work on a different basis. The use of such circuits, unconnected to any mains and therefore not apparently producing a viable electrical energy makes it hardly surprising that scientists were not interested in radionic instruments.

This aspect has not been brought out strongly up to now, for I suspect, the simple reason that people using these instruments THOUGHT they were electrical because they LOOKED electrical, when, in fact, they were nothing of the sort.

Here we have a further reason why it is essential in the future that Radionic writings MUST conform to, and be described in, scientific terminology if tliey are to be accepted in scientific quarters.

It is not until we come to inspect the Wilson instrument that we find a true electrical circuit. Here there are 50 individual dials on the upright panel, and a panel of 9 dials on the table.

The problem was how to convert a 9 dial ‘treatment rate’ on this latter panel to a single dial on the upright.

Wilson introduced what is known as a Wheatstone Bridge as a balancing circuit for this purpose, so that he could get a ratio of 9 to 1 on each of his dials on the main panel. This instrument came to be known as the ‘Wilson 51’ because 51 patients could be treated at the same time; and all with different rates. He also made a smaller model with 3 treatment circuits.

Wilson Radionic Instrument: ’51’ Diagnostic &                                                                Treatment

This again makes one consider ‘What is the energy one is using?’ In radionic diagnosis and treatment I believe the nearest one can get to an answer is to say that one is determining and measuring some form of frequency, and that, as far as one can judge, the patient’s ‘witness’ radiates a whole gamut of frequencies. These are disturbed in some way if a patient has an abnormal condition or is functioning in an unbalanced way.

In general, radionic instruments appear to work on a very simple principle, inasmuch as they try to interpret the regular and irregular frequencies, by using numerical and/or geometrical patterns of energy.

This corresponds to the theory which was incorporated in the work of Malcolm Rae, and which he describes fully in his Magnetic Geometrical Applications literature.

                                                                         Murray Denning’s Diagnostic & Treatment Radionic Instruments

In my new instrument about which I shall comment, the principle of the Wheatstone Bridge as a balancing circuit is also used, but the mains power, to which it is connected, is solely for registering this balance through the meter, and for the inclusion of the Sine-wave method of increasing effects in treatment, and for earthing. As with Drown, radionic work does not require mains power.

This, at first sight, looks like any other radionic instrument, but it has been designed on a modular basis, so that any number of units can be linked together. Its versatility is invaluable since a practitioner is no longer limited to ONE instrument in ONE cabinet. He can choose what units he may need for his own particular requirements. These could include items for work on colour, sound computers, etc.

In my own case, the centre portion is the basic unit for diagnosis. The meter registers a ‘balance’ between the radionic impulse set on the diagnostic unit and the ten position treatment unit on the right of thepicture. The lower socket connects with the ‘stick-pad’ unit which can be adjusted to the sensitivity of a particular operator. This pad can, moreover, be used as the focal point when working with a pendulum.

The left hand panel gives a Sine-Wave pulse as an addition to the normal radionic wave. This can either be set for continual pulse or be switched to a pre-set timer.

At this point it would be legitimate to ask whether such an instrument has any advantages over others. I cannot describe its working in absolute detail here, but two factors are of key importance.

Firstly, there is the ability to measure more accurately than has ever been possible and Mike Roberts makes this need clear in his article ‘Observations and Experiments in Radionic and allied fields’ published in the Radionic Journal of September 1980, under the heading ‘Base Ten Dials’ from which I quote:

“In the course of developing a portable diagnostic and treatment instrument two conditions were laid down as being of prime importance. The first was that it should be possible to accurately set any number required round the dials, and to be able to accurately reset that number on any subsequent occasion. It is possible, unless great care is taken, to go slightly over or under the desired number. For example, suppose the ‘rate’ 596 is being put on a standard 9 dial instrument, it could be set at 5 and a bit over, 9 and a bit under, and 6 more or less. The next time the ‘rate’ is set up it could be 5 and a bit under, 9 and a bit over, and so on. This problem was solved by using click-stick positions at each numerical setting. In this way each number clicks into position as it is approached and is very easily re-set to its exact position on any subsequent occasion.”

This method is incorporated in my new instrument. In addition, I use three dials for measuring, instead of one, as has been the practice in the past. These are to be seen in the centre of the picture. The right dial is for units, the centre for tens and the left for hundreds.

Using the Drown technique all glands and organs should register at 80—100 normal. One begins measuring on the tens dial and the impulse registers, say, 40. One then continues on the units dial, and if this registers at 6, the full reading is 46. It cannot be 45 nor 47. Thus more accurate information is obtained. Having worked out our information on a practical basis, one must then consider the possibility of storing this in a computer. So we turn our minds to the concept of ‘Computerised Radionics’ as a workable premise.

One major problem, however, lies in tying up the pendulum or ‘stick-pad’ response to a computer. It is unscientific to wave a pendulum, or to stroke a rubber or wooden pad in order to register the impulse. But here I think a big step forward could be taken in terms of ‘brain-wave’ patterns, which are known to produce signals and might indicate pendulum response.

In the beginning it was thought one would have to measure the brain-wave directly, but that would mean having an electrode on or round the temple of a practitioner. This is obviously impracticable and a device less clumsy is under consideration. One way is to have a plate or pad on which a practitioner could place his hand and which would detect the electrical signals from the brain. These signals a computer would then interpret in the same way as a practitioner now interprets the automatic movements of a pendulum suspended from his hand.

This I feel is the most modern and dynamic area so far as the overall progress of Radionics is concerned. However, a word of caution … although some experimental trials have already been made, it is likely to be some time before satisfactory conclusions can be put on record, and information on the subject made public.

A further point under consideration is the ‘time factor’ in radionics. In a large practice much time is consumed by dials having to be set manually on instruments periodically. Here there is room for saving by the introduction of Radionics and the Computer. The ultimate method could be to have a simple computer that would allow all information relative to radionic procedures to be incorporated in it, with a display panel similar to those used in everyday commerce. This would instantly display all possible treatments applicable to any diseased condition.

With such a system a Practitioner would have at his elbow a simple and quick reference infinitely superior to having to search through his notebooks, card indexes and treatment lists. Such a computer could also retain a wide range of information gleaned over the years from his own practice as well as those of colleagues.

The possibilities grow — for instance, a more advanced form of radionic computer would be able to store all the information contained within the ‘rate book’, and this would be instantly accessible to the practitioner. A computer with more memory capacity could contain everything in a patient’s file so that if a new analysis and treatment was needed at any time, the relevant information would be there. In fact the total amount of information stored in a computer is limited only by its memory capabilities, and it is at this point that the vexed question of cost to the practitioner would have to be considered.

It must be pointed out, however, that the term ‘Radionic Computer’ is not strictly correct. Any computer with enough memory and the ability to be programmed by the practitioner can be ‘called’ a radionic computer, but he would merely be storing information in exactly the same way as a small business man would do for his individualised merchandise.

For the final ideas on the possibilities for ‘Radionics in the Electronic Era’I hand over to Mike Roberts, the technical expert, and am asking him to express his thoughts on the subject in Electronic terminology. He therefore continues:

“A truly radionic computer would be another matter. It would be interfaced with the main memory and would be a system of converting the signals now interpreted by the practitioner with a pendulum or stick-pad into electrical signals compatible with the computer’s addressing and programming needs.

“The ‘output’ of the computer, as well as being available as a hard copy on paper, would have a secondary or peripheral box to enable it to convert its ‘electrical signal’ into ‘radionic rates’ or ‘geometrical patterns’.

“If the computer were able to interface directly with a radionic treatment instrument one could use a pattern or numerical value created by the computer, and then it might be possible to abandon the use of rates altogether, and this would mean, in turn, that much less memory would be required in the main computer. The name of

the condition or location of the organ under analysis might be enough, and this could be assigned a certain reference point on a matrix of connections, each organ or condition being assigned its own particular position on this matrix in much the same way as it now has a rate assigned to it.

“The actual position may not have to be displayed on the video display unit. The computer could be programmed to know which connection on the matrix any condition represented.

“Turning to the complementary display terminal one could incorporate a cursor bar that would underline the location or organ one was interested in. This cursor bar would, of course, be adjustable from top to bottom of the screen.

“Graphics could be used to advantage. A ‘picture’ of the relevant area of the body under investigation could be displayed with all the organs and points of interest labelled. Anatomical physiological diagrams could be remembered and displayed. This ‘picture’ system of presenting the information to the practitioner could be of great help in visualisation.

“The actual point of detection during an analysis, that is, the point when a practitioner would normally get a pendulum or stick-pad reaction, could be displayed as a flashing light indicator next to the organ on the screen.

“I have already designed a mini-computer that will remember a series of treatment rates and present them to the practitioner, in sequence, by the touch of a button. Where several different treatments are required for a particular case, selected treatments could be stored and automatically switched on and off through a pre-set timer, thus giving a patient what it is considered he requires, spread over perhaps 24 hours.

“Miniature diagnostic and treatment instruments not more than 12 inches wide are in production.”

———————–

In ending my book I must again stress that in our discussions on new and more complex forms of radionic instrument’, the complexity is directed towards the mechanics of presenting information to and recovering information from the very simple factors of radionics itself.

The complexity is an aid to the Radionic Practitioner, and nothing more than a time-saving factor. Radionics itself does not demand complex or even electronic circuits. It is, as mentioned earlier, probably a very simple form of geometrical pattern energy. It does, however, require the ‘human factor’, and our researches are directed towards allowing the practitioner to make full use of his ESP faculty whilst removing as much of the labour involved in storing his conclusions as is scientifically possible.

New ideas were brought out by new pioneers — all credit to them, but no less important has been the loyalty of the grass-root Practitioners in the field. Many of them have devoted years of their lives working quietly in their homes to relieve such pain and suffering as they were able. They were led and inspired by an organising leadership which carried the movement forward regardless of stress or opposition, and which was constantly on the alert for any revitalising impulses — equally to them — all credit.

Today Radionics is facing a new challenge — that of assimilating itself into a galloping technical and scientific age. It must adapt and quickly if it is to be recognised as a natural segment in the general healing spectrum of the next quarter century and beyond.

It can do it — the will is there, so are the young people who will be its catalysts. They must be encouraged and helped, since it is by their efforts that recognition will come.

However, I am convinced that only when we have moved into sound physical research procedures, as outlined by such people as Professor S.W. Tromp, will science and medicine open their ears and listen to us. We can hope for more than that. We can expect welcome discussion and collaboration in research, so that TOGETHER we will be able to bring a whole new dimension into our work.

This experience led him to devote the rest of his life to helping people with a wide range of health problems, working first as a ‘straight’ Healer himself, and later as a Radionic Practitioner, in which cause he qualified as a physiotherapist.

During his life he spent much time researching into the whole spectrum of Healing with particular reference to the study of the works of eminent Radionic scholars and pioneers of the past, and this book presents some of the ‘lost’ knowledge he has uncovered, as well as projecting the subject into modern scientific thinking.
