Arcadia in the Elektrofeld
“It has been proven psychologically that human beings can only appreciate or apprise, i.e. comprehend and understand, something new, if they can succeed in raising up the subconscious immured in their brain cells into their higher consciousness. If this cannot be achieved, then all preaching is useless. And even the eye has first to learn how to see everything new; it too must therefore be awoken from its latency before it can grasp the seen. Above all, there must be readiness to consider even supposed wonders as the forerunners of forthcoming realities, for only thus can the foundations be laid upon which rational mind can calculate and analyze.“
— Viktor Schauberger
If you are reading this in the 21st century it is safe to assume you’ve survived countless “Wow, Science!” sermons, each one ministered from atop a teetering tower of model-based speculations, every word presented as absolute, objective reality. You have had your “mind blown” and been told to “buckle up”. Computer generated gaseous nebulae streamed into your eye sockets, a psychoacoustically designed soundtrack squeezing every drop of awe from you with machinic precision. You have heard the narrator’s enhanced baritone invoke a series of incomprehensible quantities of the audience, shutting off their rational minds and dropping them deep into a trance state, where he can pummel them with magic words, and reorganize their subconscious. The ancestral memory of the Great Flood is overwhelmed under his flood of plastic mental objects, floating shells of ideas that will be worn like amulets of power when the new barbarism comes.
This is the audience I will struggle to impress with a true miracle of science— a forbidden artifact, a lost object wrought in the depths of the pharmaceutical industry, and hastily tossed aside, wiped from the public memory. Many wonders must be seen to be believed, and a far greater number must be believed before they can be seen. What comes to us from genius is only a glimpse, an opportunity to access a higher toned timeline, and it will only be brought into the world with a relentless determination to see that greater realm realized.
”What a man sees depends both upon what he looks at and also upon what his previous visual-conceptual experience has taught him to see.”
—Thomas Kuhn
One such opportunity to see a “forthcoming reality” appeared in 1987, when the physical chemist Dr. Guido Ebner from the Swiss pharmaceutical giant Ciba-Geigy walked out onto the set of the Saturday evening show, Supertreffer.
Dr. Ebner joined his colleague Heinz Schürch who was already sitting behind his microscope. They began to talk about salt. In 1987, they were the first researchers in the world to isolate and bring back to life ancient fungus-like organisms from salt crystals that were over 200 million years old. By itself this an amazing feat, but not quite dazzling enough for a variety show. The presenter urges, "But you can now also let plants grow the way they grew millions of years ago?"
”Yes...”, Ebner smiles knowingly - and reaches for an innocuous potted plant. “It's a fern. So it's just an ordinary male fern, as everyone knows it.”
“That's right,” replies the presenter, while examining the small, unimpressive shrub. "I own a male fern like that too," he comments. "Except that mine is a little prettier than this one..."
"Of course, he's feeling the fall now," smiles Ebner warmly, and then continues: “We have now treated the spores of such a feathered male fern in an electric field and then grown them. And you can see what came out of it here...”
Ebner points to a magnificently robust stag's tongue fern with rounded, tongue-like leaves. The presenter asks skeptically, “So that's one plant that has never grown in this form in our millennium?!"
"We don't know exactly how long ago that was," nods Guido Ebner. "But we have evidence that such plants must have existed in the past."
The camera focuses on a photo of a fossilized fern long extinct. Ebner pauses a step and then continues: "If you compare the leaves of the stag's tongue fern with these fossilized leaves in the photo, you see a certain correspondence.”
Let’s pause for a moment and consider the implications. If what he is saying is true, it means we could revive the ancient, prehistoric forms of existing species. Imagine the possibilities…
Ebner goes on to describe an extinct species of corn, a kind of primordial maize that had also been generated when seedlings were exposed to an electrostatic field, “As you can see, it also has a special feature: there are up to twelve cobs growing on one stalk.”
”A primordial corn from the elektrofeld?” The presenter probes: “What is the specific significance of these experiments?”
"Well, the meaning could be," replies Guido Ebner, "that we can use our method to retrieve and activate hereditary characteristics that were lost in the course of evolution through rearing or degeneration."
A return to ancestral Arcadia, to that antediluvian country clothed in an eternal spring, to the fullness of the earth in it’s primordial innocence, ripe with possibility.
Heinz Schürch later told journalists: “It looks as if we got a primordial fern from the treatment in the electrostatic field, which over the next four years remembered more and more that it originated from a male fern. Every year the leaves looked different, apparently the fern has gone through the entire evolution in its growth.”
The scientists meticulously studied all the spores this fern produced, “From them, however, completely different ferns emerged. We received male ferns, beech ferns, a type of South African leather fern, normal stag's tongue ferns and a type of stag's tongue fern that we could not clearly identify. Apparently our ancient fern was able to develop practically all types of fern.”
It had returned to its primordial form, the prime antecedent from which all the various ferns had emerged. And something even more miraculous, The male fern had 36 chromosomes, while the stag's tongue fern had 41. "In the entire scientific literature," says Schürch, "there has never been any mention of the sudden change in chromosomes."
But back to the salt. Ebner and Schürch had asked the United Swiss Saltworks to provide them with a piece of drill core from a salt deposit from Riburg, and found within it a salt loving, or halophilic, fungus. Every attempt to activate it conventionally had failed. So the scientists decided to culture them under sterile conditions in synthetic seawater with 28 percent salt at room temperature – with the help of a static electric field. They were astonished to find the tiny creatures awoke— an unknown variant of the genus Scopulariopsis with a pronounced tolerance to table salt of up to 25 percent in the culture medium. What made it special was that it was so halophilic, it simply would not grow in a salt concentration below 3 percent, a behavior that was unknown until then. However, this did not describe all of its unique characteristics.
”After aging our inoculated agar medium, an interesting phenomenon emerged. Salt had crystallized out of the agar. On closer inspection, we found many crystal forms that are atypical for table salt under the microscope one could see that – completely
surrounded by the salt – there were fungal filaments with spore carriers and isolated spores of Scopulariopsis halophila in the crystals. We were also able to determine that a chain of spores protruded from the end of each crystal.”
Apparently, the surrounding layer of salt allowed the fungus to grow against gravity, resulting in these bizarre crystal formations. Or to put it another way: the fungus itself became a carrier of salt. It formed tendrils armored in salt crystals— the fungus put on a kind of crystalline exoskeleton in order to navigate through the water.
Imagine humans after a few generations breeding in the electrostatic field, what strange powers and abilities long disused might be unlocked. Unique traits crushed under eons of various orthodoxies, purged by the decrepit priestscrafts of Egypt and Atlantis as they reached the end of their respective eras, eager to obscure those divine endowments that made the shallowness of their sophistries apparent. From the stargate of the elektrofeld shall emerge Proto-Indo European kóryos, war-bands of shape-shifting warriors wearing the skins of dire wolves that they killed with their bare hands and broods of furious úlfheðnar impervious to bullets.
The Ciba Group checked the discoveries of its scientists, patented the process - and immediately stopped further research. Astonishingly, the patent submitted by Ebner while at Ciba-Geigy states the morphogenetic effects: “All in all, the use of the method according to the invention surprisingly leads, for example, to a positive change in development and growth efficiency, morphogenesis, possibly gene expression patterns, susceptibility to stress, resistance to pathogens, etc..” Ciba-Geigy AG, now Novartis, is a quite serious Swiss pharmaceutical company. There is no way they would have allowed some crackpot speculations on their patent application, every word would have been verified and scrutinized by patent lawyers.
The fact that Guido Ebner and Heinz Schürch were definitely on the right track was evidenced by the spectacular results of their experiments with conventional rainbow trout. The electrically treated trout were a good third larger than their counterparts, heavier, stronger and with more vivid and colorful markings. They had strikingly pronounced dentition and bright red gills. In contrast to the normal rainbow trout, the lower jaw of the males was formed into a powerful hook – similar to that of wild salmon.
Schürch and Ebner did everything in their power to publish their research results. Without success. No scientific journal was ready for publication. There was also the possibility that they were being discouraged by their employers at Ciba-Geigy, though neither man explicitly confirmed such suspicions. Finally, the two researchers used the talk show, Supertreffer, as a last resort to make their discovery public.
What's fascinating is the fact that Ebner was never truly debunked. No character assassination, no cancelling, I suppose his other research was too valuable. It was just wiped from the public consciousness. The following is the absolute extent of “debunking” I could find, from a German skeptic website:
”Silas Kieser from the cantonal school in Olten disproved the results of the experiments by Ebner and Schürch on wheat seedlings [7] as part of his Matura thesis at Schweizer Jugend forscht 2011 . He received seeds from Daniel Ebner, with whom he had already carried out experiments, as well as technical support. Although the results of the experiment were not significant compared to the untreated control group (α=5%), the treated wheat seedlings had a lower germination rate compared to the control group. Also, none of the treated seedlings showed side shoot growth as originally described. Kieser won the competition as well as the SimplyScience special prize, which includes a one-week internship at Syngenta.”
One experiment. What they fail to mention is that there are endless experiments which prove electrostatic effects on plant growth. The agricultural effect of electrostatic fields has been described in popular science publications since at least the July 1755 issue of The General Magazine of Arts and Sciences, Philosophical, Philological, Mathematical, and Mechanical where is described “A Machine for a Perpetual Electrified Garden”.
And more recently, in the1930’s with books like “Der Orga-Urkult, Earth Magneto Culture”. In some publications startling effects were described: the vegetation periods could be shortened by 1/3 to 2/3, and some reports speak of a triple increase in harvests. Electrostatic fields ranging from 100 V m−1 to 800 kV m−1 have been applied to plants under laboratory conditions and in field trials since the 1880’s. Mostly beneficial effects have been reported (e.g. increase in yield from both cereal and vegetable crops), but admittedly the results have been occasionally erratic.
Upon studying certain trials I have found there exists this strange tendency for some researchers to say something like, “Several other investigators, e.g.; Jorgensen and Priestley, (1914), Jorgensen and Stiles, (1917), Shibasawa and Shibata, (1927) all reported plant growth increases for cereals and grass crops grown under the influence of a short duration electric field, however, when I applied constant and extreme high voltage to those things, man, they were vaporized.” Apparently there is this boyish desire to apply high voltages to plants… to see what happens, for “science”. It almost reminds me of the horror stories that we hear about pointless animal experiments that seem motivated by pure sadism. One forgets that many scientist are weird nerds, but this by itself might explain why some results are “erratic”.
Regardless, an enormous preponderance of research proves the effect: “[I]t appears likely that the biological activities of plants might be manipulated by the proper adjustment of the electrophysical environment.” (Murr, L.E. The biophysics of plant growth in a reversed electrostatic field, 1965) “Results demonstrated that HVEFs with field intensities of 2.25 and 2.5 kV cm−1 could respectively improve the dynamic absorption of [nitrogen] by hydroponically grown tomato seedlings.” (MeiqingLi et al, 2015). “[E]vidence reveals the ability of plants to perceive and respond quickly to varying electromagnetic frequencies by altering their gene expression and phenotype” (Maffei ME, 2014) “[R]esults showed that the electric fields and the electric fields treated water have influenced the germination rate and height of stems of both young vegetables causing the increase in stem height” (Ahmad, Hussein et al. 2016)
”Significant increases in germination, averaging up to 10%, were also observed following electrostatic treatment during, or after, short periods of red irradiation.” (G. H. Sidaway, 1970) Suitable pulse magnetic fields and sound waves promote seed germination and nutrient absorption and increase the yield of crops (Qin and Lee 2003; Belyavskaya 2004; Yao et al. 2005; Dhawi et al. 2009; Radhakrishnan and Ranjitha Kumari 2012).
For the past century the results of these experiments would have been encouraging to any impartial observer. However the literature often states something along the lines of “the use of electrical treatments of plants lost favor” due to one or two studies (Briggset al., 1926; Collinset al., 1929). It’s very funny visually to see four or five paragraphs of research dismissed by one or two sentences. Any honest person understands why electro-culture mysteriously “lost favor”, even a cursory analysis allows us to see that the genetic engineering of crops and “terminator seeds” is far, far more profitable. Electrostatic systems, once installed, would be the property of the farmer. Another probability is that such systems may not be feasible for monoculture megafarms, but would allow home growers to become more or less autonomous. Unfortunately, gardeners are not spending millions of dollars on scientific endeavors in the direction of their own interests, as are pharmaceutical and agricultural companies.
Whenever I compare skeptic literature to the material they are refuting, it is always a bit unsettling. I am not sure what “skeptics” actually are (every one that I have seen was visibly dysgenic and perverse) but I am certain they have nothing to do with science. From what I can tell, they are basically toadies and hall-monitors of the Materialist orthodoxy and its monistic metaphysical assumptions. They seem to play the role of “heel”, driving young people searching for answers into Esalen-spawned New Age cults. Regardless, there has been no serious mainstream rebuttal of Ebner’s findings.
Especially considering that Ebner received confirmation from the world-famous microbiologist and Nobel Prize winner Professor Werner Arber from the Basel Biocenter – the discoverer of the gene scissors. Professor Arber's revolutionary discovery in the late 1960s marked the beginning of modern molecular biology and the birth of genetic engineering.
Arber personally inspected the elektrofeld trout and plants at the invitation of Heinz Schürch in the Ciba laboratory. "I was really impressed," Werner Arber recalled. “For me as a geneticist, it was of course very interesting that you could influence the development of genes with static electric fields. All the more so since it was reproducible.”
How did the eminent scientist explain the altered morphology? Perhaps it is possible that information is actually retrieved from dormant genetic material by the electric field?
"Not necessarily," Professor Arber revealed. "More and more people are realizing that the determination of the genes - i.e. the determination of a special direction of
development - does not take place in an absolutely precise way." He believes the environment plays a particular role, “And for me, electrostatic fields are part of the environment."
(It is possible Professor Arbor is referencing here the “Missing heritability problem”. The Human Genome Project led to wild-eyed forecasts that the genetic contributions to many traits and diseases would soon be mapped and pinned down to specific genes. However, the accuracy of matching physical traits to specific genes is about 5% (Yang J. et al., 2010) and reidentification methods have been found to stem from inferring genomic ancestry and sex from the genetic data rather than trait-specific markers (Erlich, 2017). Gargantuan amounts of biometric data and a range of complex algorithms are required to make basic trait predictions, and perform no better than a strategy that uses demographic variables— the equivalent of building a spaceship to go to the grocery store.)
The German biology professor Edgar Wagner from the Albert Ludwigs University in Freiburg also had an opportunity to examine Ebner’s findings. He gives his expert opinion: "It seems certain that the observed effects are causally related to the application of a specific static E-field and are not based on any other, uncontrollable factors," and furthermore: "There is also a natural, static electric field in the earth's atmosphere, the strength of which has changed in the past."
It appears that a certain electrostatic field brings a certain order to nature. Or rather, it induces a brief anabasis toward the cosmic egg, from which all order permeates. A kind of reshuffling of the deck. Henri Bergson, the 19th century vitalist, conceived of a current of life, flowing through the generations, which was the result of a primeval vital impetus, the élan vital. "This impetus, sustained right along the lines of evolution among which it gets divided, is the fundamental cause of variations, at least of those that are regularly passed on, that accumulate and create new species." It might be that an accumulation of this vital impetus is restored or redirected by experiments in the elektrofeld.
Schürch identified a possible explanation in the fact that the composition of the earth's
atmosphere used to be different than it is today. The thunderstorm activity was much stronger. The electric fields in the Earth's atmosphere were more powerful: "It could be that at the moment when we take a certain electrostatic field, we fall back on a program of evolution from a time when these fields were predominant.
"The moment I can change a set of chromosomes with a simple electrostatic field, as nature also knows, and keep getting archetypes of living beings that have long been extinct, I have to put a question mark behind whether all the information for the formation of living beings is really stored in the genes, in the DNA, in the cell nucleus. This is probably not the case, because the electrostatic charging of the atmosphere is certainly one of the factors in nature's overall information about which living beings should actually arise. And obviously the memory of nature goes back to the very beginning of life.”
There is nothing stopping us from using this technology. Despite the almost total blackout on this subject, there are a few garage scientists uploading videos to youtube and proving the elektrofeld works. This technology is being developed by Russian and Chinese scientists now.
Look at this thing, it’s totally autonomous. Imagine year round growth, no crop rotation, it automatically kills fungus and deters pests, no need for fertilizer; according to Ebner, the elektrofeld allows plants to thrive under almost any stress condition, including cold temperatures or in the dark. Potentially, the Ebner effect would even be able to cause GMO terminator seeds to revert into heirlooms.
Even if you are hesitant about the more spectacular claims, there is no reason to doubt the viability of these techniques to provide an autonomous and sustainable food source. There are already electro-culture aquaponic system patents, electro-culture blogs and people building DIY electro-gardens. Let us be ready to see these forthcoming realities, let us return to Arcadia, through the gates of the perpetual electrified garden.
Below is an example of an experiment demonstrating the Ebner effect—
Demonstration of electroculture—
Note: Unfortunately, no one is brave or foolish enough to upload videos of human experiments with the elektrofeld, but as soon as I find (or create) one I will upload it here.
Extremely fascinating, I'm actually going to try this out. I'm not in control of my situation at current, so it will take some time to get started, but I'll share what I do and find when the time comes. Many thanks, Schwab. God bless.
Awesome .... how an electric/magnetic field can interact with life and promote it or restrict, even evolving it, it depending on its intensity and duration ...
