Schumann's Resonances and Human PsychobiologyFull article at:http://www.geocities.com/nwbotanicals1/oak/newphysics/schumann.htmINTRODUCTIONThe rhythm of life has evolved at an even tempo for epochs. We live in amatrix of oscillating fields; the tiniest fluctuations in one interlockedfield carry over perturbation into others. Many times per second, pulsestravel completely around the world between our planet's surface and theionosphere sending coordinating signals to all organisms. These signalscouple us to the global electrostatic field. Named for their discoverer,these Schumann Resonances (SR) provide the orchestrating pulse for life onour planet.We all march to the cadence of this cosmic drummer -- our planetaryheartbeat, which sets the tempo for health and well-being. Damaging thisplanetary pacemaker could spell doom for life as we know it. In the name ofprogress and defense, this pacemaker is now threatened, while vast amountsof public money are spent on this exploitation. Even more tax funds areallocated to implement the ill-conceived "Star Wars" missile defense, andthe energy beam Project HAARP."What is clear is that part of the money voted to Bush's Star Wars plan willbe used for research into space-based lasers," the Independent reported."These, we are told, will be used to shoot down the missiles fired in angerby 'rogue states.' But they will, inevitably, evolve into weapons aimed atAmerica's enemies from space. U.S. Space Command doesn't even bother to hidethis fact. The most chilling illustration in Vision 2020 is of such aspace-based laser firing a beam of energy at the earth.""What the Russians are worried about (as they're trying to explain in badlytranslated prose from Moscow's Interfax News Agency) are U.S. plans to beginlarge-scale scientific experiments using the Alaska-based HAARP in 2003.Ninety Russian deputies signed the appeal against the HAARP program,charging that the experiments "would create weapons capable of breakingradio communication lines and equipment installed on spaceships and rockets,provoke serious accidents in electricity networks and in oil and gaspipelines and have a negative impact on the mental health of peoplepopulating entire regions." (Fitrakis, 2002)The ionosphere shields us from deadly radiation from the sun and deep space.Holes are now being routinely punched in this insulating blanket byhigh-frequency radio waves, and may accidentally tear open the fragilecocoon of human and planetary evolution. Dire consequences could be asdevastating as the failure of an individual's pacemaker. First, we willgive an overview, then define and describe some terms used here in greaterdetail deeper in the article.This environmental rhythm -- the fundamental driving system for all life onour small blue planet -- is jeopardized by human manipulations of theionosphere, such as project HAARP. It is dangerous to fool with MotherNature as the results of ozone depletion and other ecological calamitieshave shown. It might be easy to see that such survival risks don't balancealleged benefits, but targeted research on potential problem areas has beenvirtually non-existent.Lewis B. Hainsworth was among the first to suggest that human health islinked with geophysical parameters by way of the naturally occurringSchumann ELF (extremely low frequencies). His hypothesis identifiednaturally occurring features which determine the frequency spectrum of humanbrain-wave rhythms. He concluded that the frequencies of human brain-wavesevolved in response to these signals. If the hypothesis is correct,conditions for evolutionary changes in human brainwave patterns have nowbeen established.Hypothesis: "The frequencies of naturally occurring electro-magneticsignals, circulating in the electrically resonant cavity bounded by theearth and the ionosphere, have governed or determined the 'evolution' ordevelopment of the frequencies of operation of the principal humanbrain-wave signals: In particular, the alpha-rhythm is so placed that itcan in no circumstances suffer an extensive interference from naturallyoccurring signals."Further, variations in them can produce mild to disastrous health andbehavioral changes. These waves probably help regulate our bodies' internalclock, affect sleep patterns (REM), and hormonal secretion. The nature ofthe applied stimulus makes it difficult to identify the responses directly,as they are most likely to occur in the form of stress-related conditions.They will therefore, show up as drastic increases in mental disturbance,anti-social behavior, psycho-somatic conditions, and neurologicaldisturbances. Some electrical field phenomena have already been linkedwith abnormal cell growth and a decrease in immuno-competency.All these factors could be expected to lead to the appearance of 'new'diseases, probably accompanied by a decline in resistance to many minorinfections: an increase in conditions related to abnormal cell development,including cancer, birth defects, and infertility and an increase inpsychological disturbance problems, e.g. drug addiction, and suicides.These existing psychobiological problems will increase in scale, but couldbe studied for deviations from 'normal' alpha cycles of 10.4 Hz withdetectable changes in psychological characteristics and mental abilities.Hainsworth therefore strongly urged that research be carried out bywidespread measurements of the natural SR signals' frequency variations andfield-strengths comparing them with resulting figures for the incidence ofheart attacks, suicide attempts, road accidents, social violence, domesticaccidents, crime, etc. Studies are often conducted in this inferential way,such as those by Krippner and Persinger (1989), searching correlationsbetween the phenomenon of earth lights and tectonic strain with reports ofUFO sightings, abduction reports and other anomalous psychophysicalexperiences, for an electromagnetic correlation to temporal lobe seizures.Full article at:http://www.geocities.com/nwbotanicals1/oak/newphysics/schumann.htm
