It has long been my firm belief that Vivaxis should be taught at an early age in the schools. When that day dawns we will see a tremendous upsurge of aptitudes and efficiency among students. It is also reasonable to predict that the emotional need for drugs will be largely eliminated.

It is a pathetic disgrace to our civilization, education and progress, to hear children ridicule the most vital natural laws pertaining to all life, because they have not been taught and therefore do not understand. The following is a story, rather on the humorous side, illustrating this very point. Last Hallowe'en, as the rural school bus passed a Vivaxis instructor's house, one lad remarked to his pal, "I guess Mrs. J. B. will be out tonight." His pal quipped, "Yes, she should be, for her broom licence will be valid tonight."

On October 30, 1971, we attended a lecture given by Dr. Jack Holland, "Parapsychology and Medicine in Perspective."

Dr. Hugh Shearman, a very well known British philosopher and physicist, in the Blavatsky Lecture titled "Purpose Beyond Reason," stated the following: "Again and again, the rational mind receives intimations that, underlying the world which it can examine and describe, there is something deeper, something which is beyond its power to comprehend, and yet, which alone gives purpose to the whole life process which the mind surveys. Perhaps an awareness of purpose may come to us as intimation, but it does not come as an explanation. Sometimes, perhaps, an intimation comes to us, riding, as it were, upon the back of an explanation; but it does not come caged inside the rational meaning of the explanation." Parapsychology seeks to truly understand that intimation, of which Dr. Shearman speaks, and the explanation behind it.

Much of the work of the parapsychologist of the past is now very much a part of medical, biological, biochemical, psychological and electromagnetic work being done today. Essentially, the parapsychologist dismisses nothing concerning man and his experiences as being essentially untrue, unsound or stupid without applying the principles of sound study and unbiased investigation.

I know, in thinking about talking to you today, I was caught up in a statement I read from Robert Louis Stevenson a long time ago which I rather like. He certainly was a parapsychologist and he wrote of his wonder of "things unseen"; "ff I, looking with purblind eyes upon a least part of a fraction of the Universe, yet perceive in my own destiny some broken evidence of a plan, and some signals of an overruling goodness; shall I then be so mad as to complain that all cannot be deciphered? Shall I not rather wonder, with infinite and grateful surprise, that in so vast a scheme I seem to have been able to read however little, and that little was encouraging to faith." Einstein too put it so beautifully when he stated: "The greatest sower of true scientific investigation and the expansion of human awareness is a sense of the mystical," and he went on to say, "anyone who studies physics deeply enough is inevitably led to metaphysics." The parapsychologist is vitally interested in all manifestations that are not of the so-called norm - not that in his own consciousness he expects to accept all phenomena as being the "truth," but he does open his mind as far as possible to looking for the "truth." He is not anti-intellectual as so many seem to think - actually, he is being the most intellectual because he realizes one only learns - really knows - by seeking more and more answers, by delving ever deeper into the magic and mystery of that which is now unknown. He approaches all aspects of the human consciousness with as intelligent and sincere a manner as possible. Bias, prejudice, "know-it-allness," are the most anti-intellectual endeavours an individual can engage in and this is the sort of thing that the parapsychologist attempts to avoid at all times.1

One experience that made a tremendous impact occurred in October 1972, while in southern California. A probation officer had become immensely interested in the possibilities of correcting with Vivaxis, the energy flow in areas of brain disturbances in problem children. He arranged an interview with a mother and her young boy who had a serious behaviour problem. In the boy's words, "If some guy makes me mad I just can't control myself. I go berserk." I demonstrated to his mother how aura testing will often reveal areas of brain blockage. Jimmy begged that he be allowed to try. He was first shown how to neutralize and given instructions on aura testing. His eyes beamed with enthusiasm as the wire moved in response to the direction in which he concentrated. However, when he directional tested the brain receptors in the areas of five and seven on the diagrams, there was no response and his recording wire became lifeless. His mother confided that he had experienced a most difficult birth and the doctor had even contemplated breaking one arm. A large bump on the right side of the head remained for a year after birth. The energy disturbance was located in the same part of the head where the bump had been. As one held one's hand near the area it felt hot; further, there was a slight depression in the skull there. The area, several inches in diameter, had a very disturbed chaotic wave motion, refer to diagram 10, area seven.

The significant fact was that the young boy revealed the site of the energy blockage through his own aura testing. This fact made a great impact on him and he desperately wanted a chance to learn and use these natural forces. He phoned me the next day and indeed for four consecutive days. "Dad says, 'It's all blarney,' but I know it's not and I am sure it will help me." He continued, "They won't believe me, Mrs. Nixon. Please help me," he pleaded. The lump in my throat grew steadily larger as my mind struggled for an appropriate answer. I did my best to explain that my hands were tied without the co-operation of his parents. The next day he phoned again, this time from the correctional farm. "Mrs. Nixon, there is a nineteen-year-old boy on the farm here, would you teach him so that he could help me? Please," he continued, "if I saved my money, could I buy one of those recording wires?" He was a child pleading desperately for a chance and all I was able to do was push him under.

When Jimmy first felt the recording wire respond to the dictates of his various brain receptors, it fired his interest tremendously. The fact his brain receptors in the damaged area would not respond, opened still another window that he knew held hope; how bitter he must have felt towards those in authority who denied him a chance, because the windows of their minds were completely closed.
