Re: Austr. Workshop/ Was there a higher purpose?

Hi! Lloyd, Hugh, James and the list.

I am puzzled at the suggestion of advertising. Advertising is like 
evangelism in religion. Only those who have something they do not 
believe in, need to convince others about it. Just as the person who is 
content with his belief structure, rarely feels the need to talk of it, 
uninvited, to others, the person with fully firing agricultural system 
will soon attract the interest of others. My work in revegetation has 
resulted in countless millions of trees in the ground. I have never 
knocked on a door and tried to sell a tree.

I also question the idea of going "Head to Head" with anyone over 
Radionics/ Quantum Ag. Do you want to spent much energy trying to 
disprove something you do not believe in? By doing that, you only 
strengthen the resolve of those who promote them. In straight numbers, 
we are unlikely to be spectacular, as they are thrashing the guts out of 
the land. It is only the unbiased examination of the end product and the 
paddock that will show what we are on about. I do not think a chemical 
company is going to agree to a taste test! We are offering something 
which is getting close to sustainable. We are offering a better end 
product with reduced imputes, usually with a better yield ratio, and 
higher unit price, if lessor total crop in the short term. We offer a 
replicatable system that will produce over long periods with a net 
improvement of the land. Radionic Agriculture is solidly over fifty 
years old. I know one of those who make the first experiments in the 
early nineteen fifties and have specifically Ag. Instruments from 1954. 
I have eaten vegetables from land treated Radionicly for 45 years. The 
quality was as one would expect, absolutely superb. As far as I could 
see, all the formally trained Radionic Practitioners in the UK, kept 
their heads down, simply because all had all the clients they could 
reasonably care for and most had long waiting lists. They are highly 
respected and protected by a code of conduct, accreditation and a 
professional body.

We do not have a problem finding clients, we have a problem find people 
suitable to train as practitioners. By this I mean practitioners who set 
them selves up as professionals. I have now worries about  those who are 
working on their own patch, but I am most concern as soon as anyone 
proclaims them selves as a professional practitioner. Out side the US 
there have been three court cases that have been very harmful to 
Radionics and essentially ruined these at the receiving end. In parts of 
the US it is illegal, so I assume no one makes a public proclamation.

I am more interested in supporting those who want to learn to work 
initially on their own patch and to do that successfully through several 
seasons, while they learn and gain conference. Let's try and pick up 
some of those  who have un-used instruments and do something about 
giving them the conference to experiment on their own patch, as they learn.
