"A
fortuitous occurrence led Backster into another whole realm of
research. One evening, as he was about to feed a raw egg to his
Doberman pinscher, Backster noticed that as he cracked the egg
one of his plants attached to a polygraph reacted strenuously.
The next evening he watched again as the same thing happened.
Curious to see what the egg might be feeling, Backster attached
it to a galvanometer, and was once more up to his ears in
research.
"For nine hours Backster got an active chart recording from the
egg, corresponding to the rhythm of the heartbeats of the
chicken embryo, the frequency being between 160 and 170 beats
per minute, appropriate to an embryo three or four days along in
incubation. Only the egg was store-bought, acquired at the local
delicatessen, and was unfertilized. Later, breaking the egg and
dissecting it, Backster was astonished to find that it contained
no physical circulatory structure of any sort to account for the
pulsation. He appeared to have tapped into some sort of force
field not conventionally understood within the present body of
scientific knowledge.
"The only hint as to what sort of world he had wandered into came
to Backster from the amazing experiments in the energy fields
around plants, trees, humans, and even cells, carried out by the
Yale Medical School in the 1930s and 1940s by the late Professor
Harold Saxton Burr, which are only just beginning to be
recognized and understood.
"With these considerations Backster temporarily abandoned his
experiments with plants to explore the implications of his egg
discoveries, which appeared to have profound implications for
the origin-of-life research -- and are the makings of another
whole book." |

| "In a botanical
nursery, Vogel found that he could easily pick out a particularly
sensitive planet by running his hands over a group until he felt a
slight cooling sensation followed by what he describes as a series of
electrical pulses, indicating a powerful field. Increasing the
distance between himself and the plant, Vogel found, like Backster,
that he could get a similar reaction from it, first from outside the
house, then from down the block, and even from his laboratory in Los
Gatos, eight miles away." |

| "Yin-Yang Energy --
Electrogenesis: The easiest of John's powers to witness, it is also
the most difficult to quantify. ...John routinely uses this ability on
a daily basis to treat patients with acupuncture, passing said energy
into the traditional points. However, repeated testing with both AC
and DC voltmeters and amperometers indicated neither current nor
potential; nor was my teacher capable of producing incandescence in DC
light bulbs of the lowest voltage. Therefore, while this power feels
like electricity, it is most definitely not. One characteristic
worth noting is that the "current" generated does not seem to follow
the standard wave form of physics, but instead consists of a series of
peaks. I have no hard data to quantify this statement, but I could
feel this effect in Chang Sifu's body during electrogenesis." |
