Radiation and Transmutation Introduction

This is not exactly a scientific book but it is a book about a scientific discovery. If half of what we believe about this discovery is verified scientifically, it will be the greatest scientific discovery in human history. Unfortunately it is too early in the process of discovery to call what we are doing science since many strange properties have been observed but few have been measured.

Whenever new things are discovered, they must be named. If several people discover a new thing independently they usually will make up different names for that thing. Ancient and modern discoverers of the materials which are the subject of this book have given these materials different names. They have called them White Gold, ORMEs, manna, what is it, the Philosopher's Stone, the snot, monoatomic elements, AuM, ORMUS, the polymers, m-state, microclusters, superdeformed high-spin elements, exotic atoms, and the semen of God.

There is an ongoing debate as to whether all of the elements being described are monatomic or whether some or all of them are diatomic. Since this debate has not been resolved and since we must use some words to identify these elements, we have picked a couple of neutral terms to use in this book.

David Hudson, who patented and popularized these materials (though he may not have discovered them) called them Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements which has the acronym ORMEs. Since calling them ORMEs would be taking a side in an unresolved debate regarding their "monoatomic" nature I am going to use other terms for these materials in this book.

Hudson also used the term ORMUS. Out of respect for his efforts and since the term ORMUS is an ancient term which might have applied to these elements I am going to use the word ORMUS as the more formal name for this form of these elements.

Since another researcher (see Researcher A below) also discovered the ORMUS materials about the same time as Hudson I will use his term "m-state" when referring to these materials in a less formal situation.

Depending on where the reader stands in the monatomic/diatomic debate the "m" in m-state can be read as an acronym for monatomic, microcluster or perhaps even manna.

In my research on the history of these materials I am seriously indebted to Robert Cox and Stuart Nettleton. These two gentlemen wrote a couple of fine books with the ORMUS materials as a main subject. Rob's book The Pillar of Celestial Fire discusses these materials primarily from the Hindu and Egyptian historical perspectives. Stuart's book The Alchemy Key discusses these materials primarily from the Middle Eastern and Masonic historical perspectives. Though I am not an historical scholar, I am deeply appreciative of the effort that Stuart and Rob went to in collecting the historical information in their books.

My work in collecting information about the ORMUS materials has been a fulfillment of my wildest childhood science fiction fantasy. Like any good science fiction story this story has a cast of rag tag characters.

Here is my list of some of the main players in this drama:

David Hudson (DH or Hudson)

Researcher A (RA)

Researcher B (RB)

Researcher C (RC)

Researcher D (RD)

Researcher E (RE)

Gary (Gary)

Matti Pitkanen (MP or Pitkanen)

Myself (I or me)

As you can see, some of these players are not named. Out of respect for the wishes for anonymity of some of these folks, I am going to throw some of the characteristics of these players out randomly on this page like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. You may be able to fit names to some of these puzzle pieces. Hopefully, since some of the players wish to wear masks, you won't be able to identify all of these characteristics with specific characters.

Of the characters listed above, two are master chemists, one is a theoretical quantum physicist and one is a mining engineer. Two are electronic engineers and a few are inventors, One used to be a cabinet maker and one used to be a paper hanger. One was a farmer and another is an environmental activist.

Two of these characters remember past lives as Essenes near the Dead Sea, another remembers a life as an alchemist. Four of these players have spent many years studying yoga and meditation and three of the meditators are professional scientists. Four or five of these folks claim that they can see things using psychic vision which most of us cannot see. Strangely enough, four of the psychic vision folks have excellent scientific credentials. One of these folks used to discuss physics and chemistry, in his dreams, with the Biblical Abraham.

To carry the puzzle and story analogies a bit further, we are like a bunch of characters working a jigsaw puzzle. Each character has a hand full of puzzle pieces. Some of the pieces belong to this puzzle and some may belong to other puzzles.

Some of the characters are afraid to put some their pieces on the table. Some are afraid that their pieces will be stolen; some are afraid that their pieces will be taken and hidden by others. Some think that the world might not be ready to see all of the picture in the assembled puzzle.

I believe that this puzzle is a cooperative venture and that many people have been given pieces of this puzzle in order to demonstrate cooperative problem solving to the world.

I want to say, right up front, that the ORMUS puzzle--what we can see of the finished picture at this point--looks like it could connect science and spirit. Some of the pieces of this puzzle come from scientific observation, some come from Judeo-Christian, Hindu or Chinese scriptures. Some come from theoretical quantum physicists and others come from theoretical quantum alchemists.

These puzzle pieces are being described using modern observational tools like electron microscopes, analytical chemistry and spectrographic analysis but they are also being described using yogic or psychic vision and observations from ancient history.

There is currently a multidisciplinary effort to describe consciousness in the language of science. This effort has defined a "hard problem" but has not solved this hard problem. As I understand it, the "hard problem"--how does the conscious mind relate to the physical body--relates to figuring out the connecting system between consciousness and matter. The intent of our quest is to discover a material mechanism whereby mind can influence matter or alternatively to demonstrate conclusively that consciousness arises out of matter. In either of these cases the hidden assumption is that a materialistic/scientific viewpoint is most likely to produce useful results. I think that this cultural and linguistic bias may be limiting our problem solving options.

I have heard that Eskimos have dozens of words for snow. Because they have a linguistic/conceptual framework for differentiating between types of snow, they are capable of observing differences in snow which outsiders are not capable of observing.

Other languages of consciousness exist. Some of these languages represent centuries of accumulated experience by thousands of observers. The language of yoga, for example, is full of references to physiological correlates to spiritual states. For example, the rise of the kundalini energy will trigger a ringing in the ears which is unlike a pathological tinnitus in several ways.

The yoga language of consciousness says when you get to this point in conscious development, look for this landmark; but always it is from the perspective of spirit rather than from the perspective of material science.

I think that it is useful to learn other languages. Learning other languages of consciousness gives me other perspectives from which I can view and solve problems of consciousness.

We need to look deeper than the surface of religion to see the underlying unity of mystical thought. There are ways in which the mystic can inform the scientist but both must know a common language. As long as we maintain the ramparts of our scientific superiority we will not fairly examine aboriginal claims that consciousness can merge with a stream and know what to expect as the stream reaches the ocean.

The "hard problem" is only hard from the material point of view. If one is immersed in the spiritual point of view, it is clear that all of matter is the manifestation of spirit. How might a bilingual scientist/mystic go about examining such a hypothesis?

The ORMUS materials look like they may provide the keystone for the bridge between mind or spirit and matter.
