Johann Bessler's Perpetual Motion Wheels Part VI

Remote Viewing Bessler's wheels — introduction

My first introduction to Remote Viewing was reading the paper "A Perceptual Channel for Information Transfer over Kilometer Distances: Historical Perspective and Recent Research", by Harold E. Puthoff and Russell Targ, published in the Proceedings of the IEEE Vol. 64 No. 3, March 1976. Surprisingly enough, I came across this paper in the course of my "day job" as a Professional Engineer! It is now available on Targ's website at http://www.espresearch.com/espgeneral/IEEE-329B.shtml

These same authors also had a paper published in Nature: "Information Transfer Under Conditions of Sensory Shielding", Targ, R. and Puthoff, H. Nature 252, 602-607, (1974). They also wrote the book Mind-Reach, (Granada Publishing Ltd, 1978) which I bought at the time.

Without going too deeply into the controversial and occasionally sordid history of Remote Viewing, including the serious attempts by the CIA and others to discredit it to the general public, I'll just say that I have enough experience of it to know that:—

i) It can sometimes work, giving interesting and useful results.
ii) The results are erratic. They are not always reliable.

Remote Viewing Bessler's wheels — sessions

I'm aware of two well-organised, high-quality attempts to remotely view Bessler's wheel(s): one German, and one British. 

The German (Evert/Jelinski) sessions

In 2001, German Free Energy investigator Prof. Alfred Evert and Remote Viewing expert Manfred Jelinski arranged some sessions with Bessler's wheel as the target. 

The "tasking" written down by Jelinski for these sessions was  (in German): "The Bessler-Wheel (1712-1714), Construction and functional characteristics while running. Draw most exactly the effective parts."  This was followed by three reference numbers: 170601, 175090, 892575. In accordance with the usual protocols for Remote Viewing, these numbers were the only information given to the viewing teams. (There were initially five teams, each consisting of a viewer and a monitor).

The results are summarised on Evert's website, at http://www.evert.de/eft704e.htm and http://www.evert.de/eft782e.htm, and are well worth a look for anyone interested in Remote Viewing and/or Bessler's wheel.

The British (Collins/Smith) sessions

On his blog for 9 January 2012, John Collins mentions an episode of Remote Viewing involving six viewers that was carried out on his behalf in 2008. As we now know, the project manager for this work was Remote Viewing expert Daz Smith. The "tasking" in this case was "Move to the optimum location/s to sketch and to Describe and sketch in full detail the interior mechanisms in Johann Bessler's first machine which was exhibited in Gera, Germany on 6th June 1712." Once again, only a numbered reference: 1991-7381, was given to the viewers.

Comments on Results

Apart from one interesting possible reference to Bessler's fall to his death from the top of a windmill he was building (which occurred much later than the target date), John Collins thought the 2008 Remote Viewing reports, available at http://www.orffyreus.net/html/report_summary.html, were "disappointing to say the least."

As I said, in my comments of 17 Jan 2012 02:29 on John's blog, I did find some items of interest in these reports. But overall I found the 2001 Evert/Jelinski sessions somewhat more interesting; although still very far from anything that could be turned into a specification for a working perpetual motion wheel. Of course I know that it is completely unrealistic to expect such a cut-and-dried "specification" result from Remote Viewing; nevertheless some important clues can still be obtained. Talent, discipline, training and experience are required of the viewers, and those same attributes are also necessary in anyone trying to analyse, and to interpret their results.

Oscillations, and "bended time"

In these 2001 sessions, several viewers drew and wrote descriptions that strongly suggest oscillatory motion, but of a non-uniform kind, e.g:—

"up and down endless uneven changing hard and soft..."

"soft and hard up and down swinging upwards with a bend until around an edge softly downward falling slinging back and ahead like slow-motion..."

"construction hot pulsating chamber... chamber pulsate receiver strong heat...  very exciting [because] pulsating results [in] increase-of-masses drive..."

"Mode of operation: surplus of mass, pulsation, effect of trampoline, controlled reaction, starting impetus by men... comes and goes, thus pulsating..."

Against the "hot/pulsating" comments, Evert remarks: "Jelinski does know by experiences, viewers often describe energy by terms of 'hot' or 'heat'."

One viewer repeated several times that the following was "urgent and decisive":— 
"at start hesitant + braked, movement downward, goes fast ahead then slowly back, like by slow motion... when certain point is achieved, time runs backward like slow motion, thus stretched/bended, is decisive factor, without bended time project is not to realize." 

Another comment concerning time was:— 
"past + future, hard to capture for us, from somewhere else, 'time-shifted'". 

I think that these "stretched", "bended" and "shifted" time comments are important, and I may even have made some progress in understanding them. (But I could be wrong — it is certainly "hard to capture" new and useful information at this level!)

Series Conclusion

This concludes my series of blog posts about Bessler's wheels. Next time: an important "out-of-sequence" video.
