This essay is probably about as sacrilegious as any you will ever read. I wrote it quite some time ago. But I am far from comfortable with this speculation, myself. I have always been interested in antigravity and ‘free energy’. In order to make these possibilities a reality, I needed to reexamine the physics of modern science. Eventually, I determined that early in the last century, an error was made that turned modern science down a blind alley. The Michaelson-Morley experiments that ‘proved’ there was no aether gained great credibility over the twenty years before Dayton Miller designed and built the experiment that proved M-M wrong. Unfortunately, during that time, Albert Einstein hung his work on M-M, and the entire physics establishment, mesmerized by his theories, followed suit. By the time Miller came along, it was too late, and his research was pointedly ignored.
As I continued my research, I noticed in the descriptions of the Zero Point, or the Aether, that whatever it was, it seemed to required high voltage spikes and some form of spinning magnetic fields to tap into it. There was also a peculiar tendency for Aether-detecting devices to work, or not work, depending on who was operating it. This was not only unacceptable, but also illogical. How could a machine know who was present, or what they were feeling? Obviously, the machine could not. Therefore, there had to be another element that I was missing. Could the energy itself somehow be able to detect who was present and respond accordingly? After all, biological systems utilize subtler energies than mere electricity and chemistry. Otherwise, death should be easily reversible. At this time, chance, or providence stepped in, in the form of a news story about a hurricane.
Several months previously, I had found an entertaining website that collected just about every one of my favorite conspiracy theories in one place, called MetaTech.org. Or maybe it was .com. Regardless, it included a link to a new concept, the ‘cloudbuster’. This device was supposed to be able to cause rain, break up ‘chemtrails’, modify weather, and chase away flying saucers. As I said, it was very entertaining. Until the day that I looked up and saw a perfect set of chemtrails in the sky above ...my ...home. Oh, s_ _ _. I decided that as soon as I found a job, one of my first orders of business would be to build a CB and knock that junk out of my sky.
That resolution lay fallow for some months, until Hurricane Francis swept across the ocean, ready to pound an already shattered Florida. Then a strange thing happened. The hurricane stopped in its tracks, as if being attacked by an invisible force. Slowly, it began dying, even though it was still over water, and according to all the science I knew, should have been drawing even more power from the ocean. When it reached Force 2, only half of what it was before it stopped, it dawned on me what was happening. Someone in Florida had a CB, and was using it against the storm! Judging from the cloud patterns on the weather radar, there was at least one was near Miami, and another around Ft Lauderdale. If this wasn’t proof that CB’s worked, no more convincing proof was possible. But this meant crystals, Orgone, Reich, and all of those ridiculous devices with crystals, copper spirals, magnets, and glitter mixed into cute little cones and pyramids were real! And the characteristics of Orgone were at least similar to those of Aether. Could it be...?
Perhaps it was time for me to learn a little more about just what the Aether, or ‘Orgone’, really was. Apparently, William Reich developed a theory of Orgone, which he then began using to do all kinds of interesting things. Unfortunately, he died a year before I was born, apparently in jail, on fraud charges. I’d read that before, which was why I’d ignored Reich’s work the first time I’d read about it. But then there was that hurricane. This meant that Aether should be accessible by methods other than the brute force HV and magnetic resonating methods I’d been exploring. What’s more, if the Aether was truly aware, then my previous tack had been … discourteous, at least. Gathering energy in that manner was more akin to rape than anything else I could think of. But what was this Orgone stuff? Spirit? If it was alive and aware, this was at least a possibility. But it is big. Aether inhabits the very fabric of the Universe. And there is only one Spirit that I know of that is Omnipresent. And Omniscient.
No. It can’t be! God is Spirit and Light. Wups, no help there. God is all-powerful. And Aether is power. God is Love. Well, Aether is aware, and Don Croft’s devices seem to show that Good triumphs over Evil in direct, head-to head battles with enemies apparently far more powerful than him. If that’s not Love, or at least an indicator of Aether’s preference... This is impossible! God IS NOT simply an energy field that anyone with an HHG can just tap into! What about the Bible??? What about Jesus??? What was the point of the last 2000... no... 6000 years??? WHAT ABOUT MY MANSION???!!!
Get a grip! The Universe makes sense. It has to, or it couldn’t exist. Aether prefers good. But at least on Earth, good is often overcome by evil. Could that be a description of Original Sin? Then since Aether prefers good, and is apparently ‘damaged’ by ‘wrong spin’, it makes sense that it will desire ‘positive’ spin. (POR?) Aether is alive and aware. It is intelligent enough to create minerals, plants, animals, and humans. And apparently, it created us with the ability to modify its spin locally. God says we are His tools. Are we intended to repair Him? Then what about Heaven? Is that some sort of spacetime ‘trap’, intended to store a few humans in preparation for the day the Universe ends? Is that the fate of the ‘Bride’ of Christ? Christianity was necessary to lift humanity from its previous hateful, depressed, and confused state. It was a tool, just as Judaism and Hinduism were tools.
On the other hand, it’s just possible that ‘going to the light’ recycles souls, wiping out what was, and giving another chance to ‘get it right’, while ‘Heaven’ is a storage facility for those who have gotten it right. This would explain both reincarnation AND the Christian Afterlife. Huh. Who knew?
Logically, if this were true, there should be some basis for the idea of a Father and a Son as well. Aether itself is obviously Spirit. The Father was first made known to Abraham (or Adam?) as a person. They spoke to each other and made promises. I’ve no idea how an energy field could do that. But if Aether controls gravity, space and time, is it so difficult to figure that It formed Jesus in the womb, then when He completed His mission, transported Him back through time to do the talking? Jesus did say, “the Father and I are one”, and “if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father…”
Ewww. Yeah, that’ll get me excommunicated.
