The handles, yes. that is important. you will laugh. I used two empty basic BIC pen shells (took out the rear cover, pulled out the ink and voila!) just improvised in a minute and it worked perfectly with my 3mm. copper wire.
I feel the same gratefulness for this new connection with you and we seem very similar in many aspects. I suppose this automatically happens to one when he just does what comes from within, disregarding what one is "supposed" to do in a certain age etc... never stop being a kid.
I´d love a banner, sure. I´ll think of the key words. thanks.
Love your idea for the handles! This is great. And very achievable for me ;)
Do you think it will work using 1.5mm copper or should I buy the 3mm?
You know it!
By the way, I checked out your website and was surprised to see so much focus on the Camino. It just so happens that this path was the path which led me away from my old life into the new one.
Am curious to know, what is your connection with the Camino?
For your banner I have produced a few images based on your words and felt like this was the best of them, though the man looks rather older than yourself!
Can you tell me please if you have a favourite artist or perhaps a style you think might work with this. Am currently using the style of Harry Clarke.
the 1.5mm might result a bit sloppy, but it should work the same.
I should register a patent on the BIC handles ; )
was always curious about the Camino. it seemed too crowded for me to actually do and this is when a friend in Basque country recommended me to do the GR11, the Pyrenees trail.
I have only been in Santiago de Compostela once, and cheated my way flying in from Mallorca..
I adore hiking and feel a strong bond to this old tradition and the beauty of the cultures, the people, the villages along the way.
I was amazed your daughter had her birthday. is it today or yesterday..?
today is my son´s. he just turned 8.
as for the old man above. I love him. I does look older then me, yes. but he seems to represent the wisdom I have inside. I´ll try it. thanks !!
For me it was a pivotal moment in my life and I will always be grateful to the Camino for my experience with it. There were certainly plenty of people but hard to call it crowded with so much open space around. The better video to show you would have been my time-lapse film which was created between St Jean Pied de Port and Pamplona. Am pretty sure I must be the only person who has ever done it with bare feet, a ton of time-lapse equipment, solar, laptop & tent.
In truth we didn't make it any further than Pamplona because at that point a friend offered me free accommodation in Barcelona next to park Guell, which opened up the door to the next time-lapse project, which opened up the door to a job offer in Thailand making time-lapse films, which led to me sitting down on a bus next to a beautiful french woman. And the rest is history!
Now that I am so focused on electroculture it is hard to imagine finding the time to walk the GR11 but certainly I would love this more than anything. I feel my desire for solitude deeply at the moment and it is hard to find around here. Another Camino of sorts would correct the balance I am sure!
What a wonderful connection there with our children's birthdays! Luna was born in Bali, just before we moved here.
For the banner it may be that it doesn't quite work due to the man's face being so close, so I could potentially try adding key words to push him further back? See what it looks like in place and let me know what you think.
yes. you did it sleeping in a tent. awesome. this way you avoided the crowded parts overnight in albergues and such. during the day, there is plenty of space sure. on the GR11 I hardly came across anyone on weekdays, a few hikers on the weekends.
My son was born in Mallorca. I bet they have chosen to be born on islands for a reason !
Barcelona also plays a big role in my the rest is history sequence of events. funny.
working full swing now on towers. wanted you and maybe Yannick to watch and comment on this video:
he talks about energies swirling clock or counter clock wise and this made me wonder about possible negative effects..? and made me think about how to actually choose the "right" or "best" place for a tower.
take good care, talk to you soon !
So many little connections here. Amazing :)
And great find with this video!
30+ years working in paramagnetics might just make him the world's most experienced teacher. Didn't know Callahan ended up in Australia till now! I suppose it makes the perfect place to test it out and prove effectiveness, alongside other producers who struggle to grow at all.
In the film he is clear, for us in the northern hemisphere the electron spin should be clockwise so if for some reason they spin the opposite direction, the tower will have the opposite effect, potentially rendering the land useless for up to ten years! Yannick doesn't mention this at all on his website (despite selling towers) so I will check this with him immediately. The first question which comes to mind is how do we measure coriolis effect on our land? Is it really just as simple as putting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and seeing which direction the water spins on its way out? Have seen various tricksters making money on the equator where they 'prove' how the coriolis effect changes direction when moved just a small distance across the equator line, and consequently I am a bit confused now if this is actually a genuine way to measure it.
I tried to find further information about Juergen Schmidt online but there is nothing at all, which is strange. With only one clunky film on his youtube page and a pretty basic website there is something about this which doesn't add up, especially as he says he has been surveying properties and making towers for 30 years. Regardless, he clearly knows his stuff and I will write him an email to see if he is willing to share more details. If Yannick doesn't know him already am pretty sure they two of them will enjoy chatting!
Let's see...
So, my reaction to this is similar. I was surprised because I never considered a tower can have a negative effect. he without a doubt knows his s**t.
would it be to scary people so they "need" his services..?
I would like to take all the necessary trouble to produce a good quality tower, and to have it well positioned to actually have the best possible results.
I do love the idea of "getting rid" of frosts. this for me will be a real game changer !
I´de love to see Yannick´s opinion on that.
thanks.
I have written to Yannick. Let's see what he says...
The idea of frost protection is not entirely out of line with Yannick's claim that an array of his antennae work as hail protection. Though he failed to give me any direct source for this claim when I asked him, saying it is referenced in lots of "old books". I actually lost a bit of respect for him in this moment. You can't make such bold claims on your website (next to a product you are selling) without having the source data at your fingertips. That's just my opinion of course.
I particularly enjoy the idea that if a person is not in a hurry they can live anywhere in the world now. Even the places where the soil is regarded as not appropriate for growing food. Stick up two towers, wait five years and Bob's your uncle!
Ah wait! I just checked and I see Yannick has responded!
"For me this guy tells lot of nonsense and shows not one serious result from 30 years. I'm totally against using metal for round towers. What he is doing is something else."
Wow. Not sure what to say now.
The video is awesome ! made me want to do the Camino ; )
so is your BCN one. awesome eye !
Thanks. I miss making these films sometimes. It is a lovely feeling sitting in nature for a few hours while the camera and tracking system do their thing. I actually shot a bunch of time-lapse when I first arrived here, inspired by the region, but never got around to editing the film. Maybe one day ;)
Hey, wanted to let you know that Sabrina & I started dowsing yesterday! Using your very effective BIC system ;)
And my mind has been blown again. My experience as a cameraman appears to lend itself perfectly to dowsing. I have steady hands and movement. Sabrina found it quite difficult to get consistent results but for me the effect was evident and it would appear we have lines everywhere! Three of them run through our house. Many more on our land. Have started to map them out. Not sure if you are aware but one can also detect magnetised cables, which having dug in four of them already made it a bit confusing. Should have done the dowsing before putting in the cables and I realise now I must write a post to clarify this for people.
Is there any way to know the difference between ley lines and the flow of underground water? Perhaps both are beneficial?
After finding an area of our home which had no influence I started dowsing various objects late last night and have concluded that EVERY physical form has an effect, relative to size and shape. Even a piece of paper flat on the floor. Or a small stone. So I am confused again. If this is the case, how can we know what we are really finding on our land?
Hope you don't mind I am always bombarding you with these long comments!
Ah yes, and before I forget I just wanted to link you to this great article which shows some really basic towers and their effectiveness. I fancy making some like this.
Hey, this is so awesome !
I´ll pass you this video to help you wrap your head around the lines.
the Hartmann lines create a grid (both east-west and north-south) about 2m. apart. they are 21cm thick.
the Curry lines run in diagonal. they are 40cm thick and are considered more potent and more harmful.
you do pick up buried cables and water pipes, yes.
underground water is not running in straight lines.
I am considering mapping parts of my farm so as to avoid planting on line crossings. most trees suffer from the radiation of the crossings (elderberry, kiwi and few others actually thrive there).
insects actually benefit from these places (bees love their hive right over line crossings, ants build hills along lines etc.)
your cats sense these energies and can be a canary in the mine. where a cat likes lying, is safe for people too. a dog will not sleep in a dog house that is over a line or crossing..
here goes the video. an image is worth a thousand words.
this is such a big subject. we barely scratch the surface ; )
Many thanks for all this great info and also the video link. My Spanish is not all that great however and for some reason I can't get the auto-translate subtitles to work on any of his videos! By intention? Who knows. But I am at least starting to find some English speaking people with what appears to be great information. I say appears to be because it seems one never knows these days what are the intentions of the creators! And YouTube loves to push the inaccurate videos to the top of the list, while making the ones which 100% hit the nail on the head almost impossible to find.
how about this ? this is my current banner text: Old soul Starseed spreading abundance since 1971
