Unauthorized dam activity ;-)
Unauthorized dam activity. smile.This is smile material. It was an actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, State of Michigan. ***Mr. Ryan DeVries 2088 Dagget Pierson, MI 49339 SUBJECT: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County Dear Mr. DeVries: It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following unauthorized activity: Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond. A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity. A review of the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued. Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated. The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at downstream locations. We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and cannot be permitted. The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all activities at this location, and to restore the stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31, 2002. Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action. We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have any questions. Sincerely, David L. Price District Representative Land and Water Management Division *** Dear Mr. Price: Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County. Your certified letter dated 12/17/01 has been handed to me to respond to. First of all, Mr. Ryan DeVries is not the legal Landowner and/or Contractor at 2088 Dagget, Pierson, Michigan. I am the legal owner and a couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of constructing and maintaining two wood "debris" dams across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use of natures building materials "debris." I would like to challenge your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam work ethic. As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity. My first dam question to you is: (1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers or (2) do you require all beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request? If you are not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Information Act, I request completed copies of all those other applicable beaver dam permits that have been issued. Perhaps we will see if there really is a dam violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated. I have several concerns. My first concern is -- aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation -- so the State will have to provide them with a dam lawyer. The Department's dam concern that either one or both of the dams failed during a recent rain event causing flooding is proof that this is a natural occurrence, which the Department is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers
Re: OnT Does the benefit outweigh the detriment?
Dear Ed, Greetings from the Land of the Wizards of Oz I will try to start the ball rolling in this discussion. I use various Radionic devices to broadcast preps and other homeopathic substances. Mostly with satisfying results. Never have I been an advocate of continuous broadcast. Short broadcasts used intermittently, in series,with a gap between the series have given the best results. Initial broadcast may be for a period of 3 or 4 days, then a break of at least a day, another couple of days of broadcast and then another break. However radionic analysis will indicate time and frequency of treatment. If I could find an interrupter as developed by Malcolm Rae, with it's pulsing action, that would probably be the most efficient. I agree with you that pulsed cyclic broadcast could prove to be the most effective form. It is most important to constantly monitor what is happening in the subject area being broadcast to. I don't know about Stella Natura but from experience trials have shown that the effect of Mercury in retrograde is detrimental to the efficacy of any homeopathic substance. Try making homeopathic remedies with Mercury in retrograde and measure the energetic patterns of your remedies. Then spray them out and visually compare the effects. Fundamental ray strength is decreased during this period. Use your pendulum to measure the strength of the fundamental ray of a tree and you will see that it varies from day to day. Sometimes the pendulum will swing maybe 12 inches or more out from the tree, another time it may only be a few inches. Something varies from day to day, exactly what is impossible to say. It is only by conducting long term research work with very accurate record, such as that conducted by the Kolisko's that we will really understand the effects of Electronic Homeopathy on plants, animals and soils. You ponder that Maybe cyclic broadcasts might be more effective, keeping the chaos/order energy-building process in mind. (Would the energy patterns start reverting towards 'chaos' after the broadcast was stopped?). I have seen areas where the use of field broadcasters has proved detrimental, whether by the design, or placement of them, on the other hand there are many recorded instances where radionic broadcast have proved to be effective. Radionics is only one of many tools that can assist in farming. Understand the uses and limitations of each one. Whether a radionic broadcast during any period is detrimental, or not, I am unable to categorically affirm or reject, however my personal feelings are that to continually try to hold order instead of chaos/order will have long term detrimental effects. Life patterns are in a continual state of flux, with substance breaking down to form the building blocks for the renewal of life. How do we know when to enhance order and when to enhance chaos by not doing anything? The answer is continual radionic analysis to monitor the results of our actions. The beauty of radionic analysis is that you are able to pretest the likely effect of any proposed action. A classic case was at the last 'wizards conference' at Bellingen where we are able to indicate which of the BD preps would enhance the vitality of a particular soil, and which would decrease the vitality. BD preps are not benign substances, they are very powerful. Used in isolation they can just as easily as destroy productive soil as they can enhance life force in the soil or plants. I suppose that the point is are we prepared to work with nature, or are we going to try to enforce our will over the life forces, and all the elementals. To try to exert control over nature to conform with our wishes by the use of continuous radionic broadcast is really no different to genetic engineering. Both are attempting to modify life energies, without any concern for the elemental life forces. The task is to be able to use both with wisdom, while doing the least amount of damage, while experimenting as to how far we can modify life energies, without destroying ourselves. Use radionic broadcast to enhance nature, gently and in moderation. Develop an awareness of what is going on around you, note the effects of your actions on all things, then one day you may be able to state that this/ or that are true. Through an understanding of the underlying principles of radionics and continual analysis of our actions will we be able to gain the wisdom to use radionics effectively without having the need to control the processes of nature.

Hi folks! My son has written me asking for help with question regarding a project that he and others are doing in an agricultural production class in the geography department at the university which he attends. Does anyone have any articles or information which you think might be helpful for the question below?? Many thanks! Wayne * we are doing a short presentation in my agricultural production and global food distribution class in which we are to discuss the pros and cons of biosolids (human waste) for agricultural purposes. i thought that you may have some newsletters or something involving this topic so i thought that i would email you and see if you did. if you do happen to have any type of articles would you email them to me. our group is working on the con side of things. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Sharon and Wayne McEachern Expressing the Light http://www.ExpressingTheLight.com A Ministry Dedicated to the Divine Process and Light Expression Essences http://www.LightExpression.com A Divine Program for Healing and Transformation *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
for the Future of the Preparations workshop...
Unable to attend the Future of the Preparations workshop I am sending this along as a contribution to the meeting in Copake NY as to the biodynamic remedy making in Eastern Long Island...sstorch Eastern Long Island Biodynamic Develpement Group Stephen Storch, Johanna Halsy, Florence Rewinski, Laura Ricardi P.O. box 467, Water Mill, NY 11976, 631 726-6783 I have come to realize the role that the biodynamic remedies play in our lives and existence. Before elements or substance may manifest in a physical expression they must first be realized in a spiritual plane. Only after this realization occurs may it begin to fulfill its potential. In this spiritual plane exists the blueprint for substance, the possibility for base elements to be raised up into highly organized matter. The biodynamic remedies provide a refined substance and the pattern energy for the spirit to work with within the physical and spiritual realms. [inspired by sharon ingersoll, em working group] Human participation in the raising of livestock and the eventual harvest and gathering of the sheath material from this livestock raises the substance to a higher spiritual and physical plane, a higher vibrational energy. Human cultivation of the preparation plants treated with the biodynamic remedies compounds this synergy, again raising physical substance to a higher vibrational realm. The removal of the stag’s bladder reminds me of Arthur’s extraction of the sword from the stone making us not king’s; but farmer-priests in service of the Earth Mother. When we stir the water and create the vortex, the eternally creative intelligence of the Universe is imprinted into the ever malleable substance of water along with all of our love, divinity and human striving. The suctional energy of the vortex pulling in, pulling down the information of the moment streaming in from the universe, the home of the Logos. And the biodynamic remedies, becoming one with the water and the cosmic information coming down into the earthly realm. So the biodynamic remedies call forth this spiritual information from the cosmos and bring down to earth a new substance expressed in the form of grass or our foodstuffs and livestock. Eventually this reaches into earth’s humanity, for those who consciously choose to participate and live in this process. Over the thirteen years I have studied and worked with the biodynamic methods I have come to understand that it is a multifaceted discipline. There are things other great minds have said that ring true and help bring me to a deeper understanding of the potential that we call biodynamics. Wilhelm Reich, a researcher whose work describes orgone energy, bions and how humans and earth are effected by this pattern energy. My investigations under the microscope show an incredible expression of the bion energy in the biodynamic remedies and compost teas made with them. Bluish, vibrating bacterium in the teas exhibit the phenomenon. Blue particles of silica in earthworm castings bring it forth in another realm. Incorporatiing the theories of Viktor Schauberger into making earth healing fructigenic fertilizers with biodynamic remedies have brought astounding and dramatic results. For two years I have made horn manure and put the horns into an egg shaped urn buried in the earth to its rim back filled with barrel compost. The resulting humus substance is just like bd500, but used at the rate of one teaspoon per acre. Last year I had the opportunity to initiate the healing of twenty five acres of land in Southampton on Head of Pond Road just west of the intersection on Scuttlehole Road. It was chemically farmed since the war years without rest and what we would call care. It was not properly limed, rested or subsoiled because it was rented land and the potato farmer did not care. A horse barn was raised and a pasture planted. Late in the Spring of 2002 I did one spray of this “new” horn manure with equisetum, barrel compost and Agnihotra Ash. The pasture grew beautifully all summer with no irrigation and no rain. The roots quickened in the earth as if under bd care for three to five years. The urn acts as an amplifier and increases the effectiveness of the cowhorn vessel. The visual and physical evidence cannot be denied. This method merits further attention. Horn silica was also made this way. Similarly astounding results were noted on brassicas, strawberries and raspberries. We are also making yarrow, chamomile, nettles, and dandelion preparations. We will be creating an artificial “creek” for making oak bark and have several valerian plants to grow and propigate this spring. The vi neyard where I consult in Mattituck, Long Island keeps a herd of Texas Longhorn cattle. Here we harvest sheathe material several times a year, really more than we can use. Last summer the dandelion was collected dried and made into a beautiful
horns
I know the topic came up awhile back, but SStorch's post about 'sheath material' struck a chord. Before we moved back to the farm, my neighbor ran some of his cows over here. They were old and even once I had my own herd, his insisted on coming 'home' to calve. A few, as they aged, died here. When I could find them, I'd let the fire ants clean up the skulls and I'd haul them to the house. If you've ever handled a cow skull, you know the horn sheath is actually just a loose covering (after the cow doesn't need it anymore). The horn material inside is normally much like a large sponge. When the horn is alive, the sponge is blood-filled and actively moving heat and wastes through the top of the cow's head, but once the horn is dead, the material calcifies and looks like a hardened piece of coral that actually goes the length of the cow's sinus cavity. (Or so it seems to me). My question is, would 4 - 6 horns from these old, wild (and hopefully happy) cows be enough to work with the horn manure? I'd prefer them over anything my vet or a slaughterhouse would provide, I'd think. And, if I asked my neighbors for their dead cow's horns, they'd think I was either doing something highly profitable (artistically), or something involving witchcraft.

Dear James, Can I put a different twist on the short broadcast? (I dont think there's all that much wrong with longer broadcast times - as long as we dodge the no go zones as you and Ed have already covered - trines, nodes, mercury retrograde etc etc) - What I do think is happening is that with shorter broadcast periods there is much more active and effective participation by the person doing the treatment, and that is very important.(I jokingly spoke of 'serious intent' at Bellingen - thats what I mean here) I believe now that without that involvement, passive radionic devices like a field broadcaster will not work to anything like their true potential. Some people can maintain that active participation from afar (Peter Bacchus - Hugh Lovel) others make it like a little ritual setting up treatment, new potencies, putting it out there for a specific time etc. That seems to be what works for me. So my take is its the better operator involvement that is the main factor - What do you think? Cheers Lloyd Charles

OT: Important Bush Lawsuit
Hello. FYI, I've sent the below article to a couple of (what I consider to be) cutting-edge journalist/commentators here in the US, with a note asking them to consider incorporateing in one of their columns, commentary considering that these individuals [joining in the below-described lawsuit] are very brave and that media on them will help make violence upon them less likely. And sugesting that a hook (if I understand that journalistic term a-right) for a column, might be the below-described lawsuit as one of many kinds of atempts by American citizens to take concrete steps to stop what seems to amount to a coming atrocity, including the mass demonstrations (that have occurred these past weeks, and are intended to occur in a day or so all over the country not to speak of the world) against this threatened, unprovoked attack [on Iraq, which the lawsuit seeks to stop] by a certain faction of our U.S. Govt, AND including the women and others who take their clothes off and lie prostrate on the ground to show by their naked bodies not only their (and Iraqui citizens') human vulnerability, but also their commitment level (it takes a high comitment to get naked in our somewhat uptight society AND cold!) to justice, AND including the VoteToImpeach effort spearheaded by former Atty-Gen. Ramsey Clark (thank you, Markess, for that post a while back). I'm sure there are plenty of other signs of citizen discontent with Resident Bush's ( Co.) illegal [IMHO] moves, but these are the only ones I've personally read about. Take care, -Lily http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Anti-War-Lawsuit.html February 13, 2003 Lawsuit Challenges Bush Authority on Iraq By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 1:17 p.m. ET BOSTON (AP) -- A group of U.S. soldiers, parents of soldiers and six U.S. House members filed a lawsuit in federal court Thursday seeking to stop the president from launching a war against Iraq without a declaration of war from Congress. The lawsuit seeks an immediate injunction against Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to prevent them from launching an invasion of Iraq. Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich., and the other plaintiffs in the lawsuit say a resolution passed by Congress in October did not specifically declare war and unlawfully ceded the decision to Bush. Conyers cited an excerpt from Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution that states, ``Congress shall have power ... to declare war.'' ``Get it? Only Congress,'' Conyers said Thursday at a news conference in Washington. John Bonifaz, the Boston attorney who filed the lawsuit, said Bush is rushing to war without seeking approval or even a thorough debate by Congress. ``We have a message for President Bush today -- read the Constitution,'' Bonifaz said. ``The president is not a king,'' he said. ``He does not have the power to wage war against another country absent a declaration of war from Congress.'' Congress has not formally declared a war since World War II. A similar lawsuit filed against Bush's father before the Gulf War by 54 members of Congress was denied by a federal judge in December 1990. That judge said he agreed in principle that the president must seek congressional authorization for war, but said the elder President Bush had not clearly committed to a course of action. The judge also noted that only about 10 percent of the Congress had asked for the injunction -- a percentage he said wasn't representative of the entire body. Bonifaz said this new lawsuit is different because in addition to the six members of Congress, soldiers have asked for the injunction. ``They are facing the possibility of death,'' he said. One of the plaintiffs, Nancy Lessin, said the people planning the war aren't facing the possibility their loved ones will be killed. She said she has 25-year-old twin stepsons, one of whom is in the Marines. ``We'd like to challenge George Bush to send one of his twins to war. Then let's have a discussion about whether or not we should go to war,'' she said. The president has 21-year-old twin daughters.
Re: OnT Does the benefit outweigh the detriment?
Hi! If folk would like to discuss the technical side of designing and building the electronics to make an Interrupter of like device. I am prepared to help. I think it should be off list as it would be outside most people's area of interest. To be able to do this, one will need to be able to build up circuit board and understand a little about the 555 timer chip. (I say a little as that is about my limit.) I have ideas of how this can be included into broadcast devices. Gil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Folks, It has come down to my attention, a view, regarding the continuous broadcast of the preparations using radionic devices. It seems there is a concern that broadcasting these patterns during detrimental time periods (nodes and other Stella blackout periods) might bewelldetrimental. My initial reaction was that these time periods are small portion of the whole of time and that the beneficial broadcast time should out weigh the bad . After thinking about it a while I landed on that maybe discontinuous broadcast might have advantages. After all a blinking light has more impact than an even brighter continuous light. Maybe cyclic broadcasts might be more effective, keeping the chaos/order energy-building process in mind. (Would the energy patterns start reverting towards chaos after the broadcast was stopped?)(The broadcast does create more order?) So here I ponder. Would it benefit one to keep the Stella in hand when using a broadcast device? Which events would one want to let occur without a broadcast? Would a scheduled broadcast be more effective than one not? How does one figure this out? I know a number of list members do broadcast. It might be beneficial to discuss techniques and process.
