Hi! Dan deGrassi, If you want a few crushed ants, just check your shoes. Unless you can walk on air and water, you must do nasty acts to all manner of things in your every day life. Ever considered the safety of the dust mites in your mattress when you roll over in bed? How about the parasitic worms and bacteria in you gut when you eat a "bring a tear curry" or a meal laced with a good dose of garlic? What about the millions of microscopic life that lives on your shedding skin, that are washed down the plug hole, every time you shower?
Re: the hypothetical ants, I could have offered to create a Radionic solution, based on a photo and description, but I feel I have pushed the envelope enough on the issue. (I can feel threatening shaking of stirring paddles and drumming of Prep barrels.) In any volume of nature, (one can not think in terms of a square metre or square yard of land, but must also consider the cubic metre (yard) below and the several above.), there are many organisms, but there is the potential of many times, what ever is present. In any portion of land, there are a great number of seeds, spores, eggs and other potential life that have not germinated, hatched or what ever. This is because each organism has a set of conditions, in which it feels is right for it to exist. If these conditions do not present, many organisms have the ability to stay in some form of suspended animation, until those conditions come around. An extreme example of this is the "Fairy Shrimp" of inland Oz. It lives in the "under 5 rain inch zone". This is a huge area of the inland and may go many years without any rain and then a few inches, possibly in a thunder storm. These little critters grow to about an inch in length and hatch from eggs preserved in long dried out mud in the bottom of "Clay Pans", (dry lakes, only filled on rare occasions). They hatch as a population of all females, but no ordinary females, they develop with fertilized eggs within them, which are laid in days and hatch in days, producing descendants of both sexes, who set out on a life of unbridled sex and reproduction, producing a huge increase in population. In weeks or months, when the water starts to reduce, they change to egg laying critters and bury their eggs deep in the mud, these eggs go into suspended animation until the next rain and the next generation of pre fertilized females. I love the story of a glass jar of dried mud on a shelf in the basement laboratory in the South Australian Museum in Adelaide. It had stood on that shelf for sixty years, awaiting some one to do something with it. A broken window allowed rain to enter and over time, it rotted the shelf and in the resulting crash, the jar broke and the dried mud lay in the puddle of rain water. When some one got around to cleaning up the mess, they found a population of Fairy Shrimp in the puddle!!!! After that diversion, let us look at what governs which organisms choose to live in a space at a time and which choose to stay in dormancy, in hope of better times. In any cubic measure of nature, there are a prolifera of energies. There are all the energies of Geomancy, of Astrology, of Astronomy and dare I say it - Biodynamics, among others. There are also a countless number to do with different organisms. We all know of trees that have nothing growing under them. We know of some plants that grow better in company with certain others and some that do poorly in company with certain other plants. There is a saying in popular folk lore "that every dog has his day", the same is for plants. Or as Will Shakespeare put it, " There is a time in the affairs of man, if taken at the flood....." Sorry it is a long time since may school days! We have all experienced a space in which we feel at peace, safe and comfortable. But we also have experienced a space in which we feel ill at ease and want nothing more than to leave. The penultimate space from which we want to leave is that occupied by a deteriorating member of our own species. I remember talking to an Australian Vet from the meaningless Korean War. (Are not all wars meaningless?) The Oz Unit was cut off and fought to the literal last round and the only way out was across a Mine Field. Lacking mine detection equipment, they crawled out over the bodies of a Chinese force that had been caught in the Autumn and in the spring thaw they were past the pleasant stage. The only way out was to crawl over them in the dark between sun set and moon rise. Ken assured me it was weeks before anyone wanted to be in their presence. (Sound like a BD Cure?) It is the same for all organisms:- plants, animals, insects, fungi, algae etc. All are aware of energies that are life supporting or life non supporting. In Biodynamics (Yes, I am prepared to use it in the face of false claims to ownership.), we set up an energy that is life supporting to a selection a life forms. The organisms are not at all fussy if this is stirred (no James Bond quips, please) and flicked or vortexed and sprayed or even broadcast by a Radionics Device. The receptive organism will readily accept the energy and act on it, regardless of it's mode of transmission. This can be a life supporting energy, such as the BD Preps or a life non supporting energy, such as :Pest Cures and the like. In Radionics we have the choice of a number of energies to do much the same thing. Hugh was asking for help in the area of Radionics in which he works, that of Malcolm Rae type Instruments to prepare witnesses for his broadcasters or for direct broadcast.. Those of us using Base 44 Type Instruments can choose from the following, when dealing with rats. "To make unattractive to rats", "To prevent rats breeding in.....", To prevent rats over wintering in ....", To prevent rats crossing the boundary of ...", "To keep .... free of rats". There are of course, the like range of possibilities, for each of many pests. You will note, that with both Biodynamics and with Radionics, we set up an energy to make a specific organism feel uncomfortable - not to kill them! I think this is important and I have no qualms setting up a Radionic Energy Field to make an organism feel uncomfortable, and if I need to take a small number of organisms and do something nasty to them, such as making a Pepper and then potenising and working out a Rae Card or Rate for it and then using this to set up an energy field to make a very specific organism feel uncomfortable and not want to occupy that space. Should Hugh get an overwhelming response to his request for Rat Pepper, maybe a dozen Rats will have been killed and skinned to produce the required peppers, from which the best will be selected. But should he produce a workable Rae Card for Ratus ratus, it will save countless thousands being trapped, poisoned or shot. I think any animal liberationist should welcome this action. The displaced Rats will come up against the population governing factors that control the adjoining area. In any area, there are natural forces that control such things as population levels. But, man with his chemicals and such upset these. Of course, as both BD and Radionics is specie specific, each specie of Rat requires specific energy for it. Thus we can send Ratus ratus a message that a specific area is not for them, while allowing, say Ratus australus to happily live in a National Park, without the competition of the imported feral. One can not do this with strychnine or 1080! I think that Biodynamics and Radionics, when considered at an Energetic level are closely allied, if not interchangeable. They are undoubtedly the lowest impact systems we have at our disposal to do good in Agriculture or in my special area of interest, the Environment.
