The energy that keeps this world in balance and maintains its position in the universe, the energy that keeps us alive, and which is part and parcel of everything in this earth, is magnetic energy. The magnetic field is of a certain intensity, but since some objects qare more receptive to it, they are affected by the energy more than are other objects. Paradoxically, this inequality of energy attraction is precisely what keeps everything on earth in balance. Man's investigation of magnetic energy has allowed him to progress scientifically to his present-day standard of living. That investigation led to the development of electricity and the millions of machines, appliances, heating, lighting and power that it gives us. Without such progress we would not know what a car was; there would be no television, radio, telephone or computers. We would be living in a world as untouched as the day it dawned.

While such a world might seem highly desirable now, man nevertheless saw what he thought would better his life and he went after it. He realized that the magnetic force, if collected and condensed, would give him a force with which he could make inanimate objects move for him, and if he learned how to control it, the sky was the limit. But first he had to find a means of collecting and then boosting it to suit his purpose. So electricity was born. Man's progression since then is history.

That is, history as we know it. It is my theory, however, that long before man as we know him, from the Garden of Eden to the present day, was on this earth, there were beings of far greater intelligence in residence, who originated outside this earth. I believe they may have begun as we did and progressed similarly, often using their progress for the wrong purposes, seeking selfish gain for themselves as man so frequently does today.

I believe these beings became so advanced in their technology that they felt they could do without God. They felt they knew it all, their inventions made them wealthy, their wealth gave them power, and once that power developed, they believed they were masters of their own destiny. They felt they no longer needed God's help, and as a result were destroyed. Only those who lived in God's image survived. With His guidance they resided on earth and used their advanced technology to benefit mankind.

I believe these beings eventually escaped with their knowledge back to where they had come from originally and, as evidenced by the numerous present-day UFO sightings, I believe they have been watching mankind progress along a similar path toward destruction as did their own predecessors. They are warning us through psychics to change our ways before it is too late. In this modern age of greater acceptance of psychic phenomena, I suggest we heed such warnings, particularly those of such noted psychics as Edgar Cayce. History has always repeated itself, but now we have a chance to break the repetition, if only we will listen. I believe these people of long ago were Atlantians and that they will return in the not-too-distant future.

Not only are psychics trying to pass on the warnings of these people, but the Atlantians also left us, centuries ago, the Pyramid Cheops, also known as the Great Pyramid. Their purported technology would have been the only such advanced technology in existence at the time, capable of building such structures as the pyramids. Even today's engineers admit that we could not duplicate the Pyramid Cheops with present technology. My belief is that the Great Pyramid embodies pure truth and we will only survive if we use truth as our basic principle. Those who do not will perish just as the majority of Atlantians did before us. The Great Pyramid is a giant computer, built in the past to contain our future. It is a great receiver and transmitter with tremendous power, far beyond present-day man's imagination, and in its beautiful lines it contains the solutions to most of man's problems, plus the most important content of all, teachings akin to those of the Bible, showing man how to live in peace and harmony. I feel very fortunate in being allowed to show you some of the Great Pyramid's teachings, its benefits, and its performance.

This book is only elementary in that its purpose is to introduce you to the basics of the study of the pyramids. My next book will take you through a progression of fields of which you may only dream. From my experiments and research I possess knowledge about the pyramids that I will impart in future writings. Such knowledge is far too much for you to accept until you understand something about the basics. That is the background I hope this basic book will give you.

Before we can discuss energy, we first must construct something with which to collect it. All kinds of shapes; contain energy, even the materials these shapes are formed with, and the very nature of the shapes themselves determines the degree of energy they contain, that is, the shape determines receptability to energy. By shapes I refer mainly to cubes, spheres, triangles, pyramids and such. Each shape has potential, but they all have different limits. Whatever we do in our everyday lives, we strive for the best. So it is with shapes and the energy they contain; we should seek the one that offers the most potential.

Of all shapes, the pyramid will give us the best performance because it is receptacle to the greatest amount of energy. It must be four-sided, of specific measurements and correct angles, and must be correctly oriented. Where do we look for this specific data? We know that the Great Pyramid Cheops at Giza in Egypt performs well today, but undoubtedly nothing like it did when it was complete with smooth surface and capstone. It is now known that upon completion the Great Pyramid included a capstone and covering of seven feet of white limestone alabaster. This material, which helped the pyramid function at its fullest, subsequently was robbed from the pyramid for use as building material. Even without it, however, we can measure Cheops, as many have, and come up with enough data to work with, but one must go further than the measurements themselves to understand why these measurements have such meaning.
