It has become increasingly apparent, that it is not enough for a new student of Vivaxis to merely observe without understanding when his recording wire moves, or fails to move in a designated direction. In order for the introductory exercise to have full meaning he should first have a basic picture of energy behaviour within the framework of his aura and the part played by his Vivaxis energies surrounding his aura. Further, in order for him to evaluate and retain the knowledge he must also be thoroughly aware of the reasons for every requirement necessary for recording. The purpose of this text is to provide basic fundamentals and a reference for the students of Vivaxis.

This introductory course is the first and most important course taught to students of Vivaxis. One is not qualified to utilize channelling until he can determine reliably a steady field from a disturbed one and the primary purpose of the course is to teach the pupil how to differentiate one from the other. One instructor aptly refers to the introductory course as "the two way stretch," since it provides opportunity for the student to determine whether he is capable of recording effectively and also permits the instructor to assess the student's ability and determine if he is a suitable candidate for more advanced instruction.

The course is in two main parts and it is suggested that an adequate interval of time be allowed between the two, so that a student can absorb the contents of the first part and prepare himself adequately for the second stage.

For a beginner the simplest technique of differentiating between a stable and unstable field is to test the force field surrounding his body, commonly known as his aura. Prior to detailing the test a few well known facts concerning auras will be discussed, as well as facts not so generally known.

Many people have the ability to actually see this energy field complete in all its variations of colour. Pictures have been taken of auras with the use of high frequency photography and illustrations of these were shown in Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain, which undoubtedly many of you have seen. I questioned Dr. Tiller regarding this type of high frequency photography of auras and this was his reply, "You should be made aware of the fact that the pictures Dennis has taken and likewise the pictures of the Russian work are not really pictures of the aura as you are thinking of it. They are in fact photographs taken as a consequence of electrons leaving the substance of the leaf, or skin, or compass needle, under the stimulus of a high frequency electric field. As these electrons accelerate in the field outside the body they pick up energy and when they collide with molecules in the atmosphere this energy is given off in the form of light and that light is what exposes the photographic film. Now as I understand it, the aura that you determine with your instrumentation is something of quite a different order or at least I expect that it is." That was Dr. Tiller's definition of the high frequency photography of auras that I was shown in October 1971, at a lecture at Oxford University and also of those illustrated in Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain.

There is always the possibility of damaging living cells through the use of high frequencies and therefore this type of photography is restricted in its use. Pictures I viewed in October 1972, at a lecture at Stanford University suggested that newer methods are now being used which are less detrimental to the subject and more effective photographically. Pictures of the auras of a healer's hands were shown which were taken before and after "the laying on" of hands. The photos showed the auras surrounding the healer's hands were very much smaller after the healing. In contrast, the auras surrounding the patient's hands showed a significant increase after "the laying on" of hands, illustrating that energy had been transferred from the healer to the patient.

Under normal circumstances the aura extends about two feet or more from a healthy person. Two insulating sheaths of Vivaxis energies about two inches apart, encompass the outer rim of one's aura; I suggest these Vivaxis energy belts act as a protecting shield against foreign wave bombardment.

There are escape routes in the shield at the top of the head and down through the feet where the energies appear to be flowing both in and out. One sees a definite analogy here to the world which is also surrounded by two protective insulating belts of radiation, known as the Van Allen belts: these also have two escape routes. The world's escape routes are located at the north and south polar regions and only because of these has it been possible for man to travel into space. The world is possibly linked magnetically to the sun and the moon to the earth, in the same manner that each individual is linked magnetically to his own Vivaxis. The same fundamental design appears to be re-enacted all through life both on earth and throughout the entire universe but at this point I would like each student to focus his mind strongly on the fact that as an individual he has his own two characteristic insulating radiation belts. These two belts will become manifest during the process of testing his own aura and play a predominant role:

(a) In the wave behaviour relative to the position he stands during testing.

(b) To the distance that he holds the vertical arm of the recording wire relative to the body.

I predict that in the near future nearly all medical analyses will be done by some method of viewing the energy pattern of a person's aura. People who are in poor health generally have small shrunken auras which gradually expand as their health improves, or expand rapidly after correcting their circuits through channelling. In our research experience all malfunctions, both mental and physical, make themselves manifest in the energy field surrounding the body, very often prior to the actual physical symptoms of the malfunction: illustrating the primary part this energy field plays and the dependence of the physical body upon it. The significance of this last phrase is one we should thoroughly grasp, for our experience continually emphasizes the great dependence of the physical body upon the primary energies recorded in the aura.

We recently held a seminar near San Diego, California. At this particular seminar people came from many distant points throughout the U.S.A. Among these was a very talented and attractive young woman who was born with the ability to see energy fields and auras; coupled with this ability she was endowed with a keen mind and sensitive powers of perception. Throughout the years she had developed the ability to recognize the energy patterns characteristic of every organ of the body; these energy patterns she could see within the framework of the person's aura. We persuaded her to attend classes with the different groups in the seminar. It was fascinating to watch her stand quietly on the sidelines, some ten feet or more away from the participants and when questioned, reporting not only what organs had energy malfunctions but also what organs had been removed. The subjects were all fully clothed and strangers to her as they were to us. On every score she was 100 per cent correct.
