At the time of the Alaska earthquake, Good Friday of 1964, when quakes registered about 8.5 on the Richter scale, zoo keepers as far away as San Diego observed birds and animals became unnaturally agitated before and around the period of the disturbances; similar observations have been recorded in various parts of the world during other major earthquakes. The question must arise in the minds of many, what causes this unrest in the central nervous system of these creatures? Often, people claim they feel this disturbance too, yet the quakes originate thousands of miles away and the ground shock can not possibly be felt by them.

Changes in the earth's rotational motion are related with major earthquakes and it has been shown that quakes of a high magnitude on the Richter scale are associated with variations in the earth's wobble. Over seventy years have passed since the wobble was first discovered. The world's north pole of rotation traces in a counterclockwise direction a roughly circular path, with a mean diameter of approximately forty feet; it requires fourteen months to complete the circle.

What force maintains the earth's wobble despite the powerful effect of natural restraining energies? In 1968, L. Mansinha and D. E. Smylie, of the University of Western Ontario, concluded that the force sustaining the wobble,* "appears to be large scale deformations produced by major earthquakes". In many cases they found the severe quakes were preceded by unexpected changes in the path of the pole and they suggested, "observations of the pole path, combined with a watch over active fault zones" could help to provide a means of forecasting earthquakes.

In recent years it has been found that magnetic and electrical disturbances occur in the earth's field prior to severe earthquakes; anywhere between hours and days preceding every major earthquake. The earth can be regarded as a large magnet and we as individuals each have a specified portion of that magnetism, which is individually ours; an integral part of the magnetic whole. If the whole becomes unbalanced magnetically, it naturally follows we too become out of polarity with consequent reaction to our nervous system.

My first experience of wave vector disturbance caused by earthquakes was in 1964, on the day preceding Good Friday. We were visiting in the interior of British Columbia and I was attempting to demonstrate with angle wires that wave vectors taken from the centre points of a person would give the bearing to his place of birth. The direction of energy wave flow was fluctuating and the predominant trend was at right angles to the correct bearing. At the time, being inexperienced with this phenomenon, I had not associated the effect with the cause and naturally my confidence was somewhat shaken. The next day the major tremor of the Alaska disturbance occurred and the radio was soon reporting the disaster. The inconsistent wave pattern associated with this movement of the earth's crust disrupted further research for a period.

These events further confirmed our opinion that the pattern within our own atoms and molecules is predominantly influenced and co-ordinated through the energy of the earth's rotation; coordinated to that particular point where, around the time of our birth, the bones of the body solidify and harden. This can well be compared to recent findings which show that molten rock aligns its atomic particles to the particular field of energy at the time and place it solidifies; the magnetic pattern in the rock remains. From the patterns in these rocks shifts in the earth's magnetic field can be traced through eons of time, by the science known as paleo-magnetism.

During the magnetic disturbance the nervous systems of the more sensitive feel the upset and confliction - a feeling of nervous unrest within themselves. The interval between fluctuations, when the pattern steadies, can generally be differentiated by a feeling of continuity. It is heartening to know there are still some human beings sufficiently in phase and sensitive enough to feel these changes, changes which other creatures of nature feel so strongly.

Many feel it indirectly, unaware of the cause; chronic weaknesses become more apparent and acute. Our findings show that maladies are always associated with lack of a normal pattern of magnetic waves and we have observed a rise in the incidence of influenza and other epidemics during these times. Also the lymph glands of one side of the body do not have their normal pattern of magnetic energies. The two opposing groups of quanta or energies characteristic of an individual can normally be detected in the corresponding lymph glands on the right and left side of a healthy body. They combine to act as defences against invading viruses and bacteria.

Throughout the duration of earthquake disturbances I often receive distress calls from people who rely on channelling as a crutch. They are alarmed; they have lost their power to channel directly into their Vivaxis and through channelling revitalize and relieve discrepancies aggravated originally by magnetic wave deficiency. We have found it futile to even attempt channelling during unsettled conditions and indeed we advise against its use during these times.

However, recently we have discovered that the overcharged electric potential that has built up in our system, remains after the original electric disturbance in the earth's field has dissipated. The fact that we can neutralize and draw it off has taught us this fact.

Providing the atmosphere has returned to a normal steady state, we have observed in tests that a person who has neutralized will generally remain neutral, until the next magnetic disturbance comes along. His channel will be in correct orientation to his Vivaxis and tests of the middle brain receptor will show a normal pattern as described in Chapter VI (Neutralizing) (Neutralizing). In contrast, tests of those that did not neutralize show their channels still deflected to right angles and their middle brain receptor creating a static circulating motion in the recording wire.

Does this static condition affect one's power of concentration?

Does it affect the nervous system? As a Research Society, we have observed with keen interest both conditions during the past year when earthquakes have been so frequent. Invariably the members have noticed that when brain receptors register a static state, their power of concentration is impaired in direct relation to the strength of the disturbance. Under these conditions a common remark is, "I feel my head doesn't belong to me today!" There is also a lack of normal co-ordinated thought and one is more inclined to be edgy and irrational. Often these characteristics are responsible for alerting us to the fact our systems are in an overcharged condition and then we test for atmospheric disturbances.

The electrical disturbances caused by severe hurricanes and other great climatic storms are recorded in a similar manner to earthquakes; severe hurricanes can disturb the electrical potential of the environment for many thousands of miles. Generally, the influence of local thunderstorms is only recorded by those in the limited area of the storm and those with their Vivaxis located in the area. The latter phenomenon presents yet another complication which must be taken into consideration; namely, changes in the energy potential at the location of our Vivaxis are transferred to us by wave link.
