03) Defining Radionics in Art

Radionics is the name given to a largely forgotten medical technology that employs directed intention to cure illness. Radionics is based upon the supposition that all matter gives off radiation, in frequencies particular to the object or substance under observation. By devising a methodology to identify and measure these radiations in both healthy and unhealthy tissue, the operator of a Radionics device can send a signal to the body of the patient to restore itself to health. This is accomplished both by neutralizing the frequencies of the disease and by importing healing frequencies, called ‘rates’ into the patient, by use of a device, called a Radionics box.

In the context of this book, I have chosen to expand the notion of ‘Radionics’ beyond the purely medical context. I look at it more as a metaphor for how human intent can be employed to move energy and do work. In the simplest sense, Radionics is a methodology by which Information can be used to move Energy, abbreviated as “I>E”.

The existences of technologies that employ consciousness to move energy have been explored in numerous contexts, mostly outside of science. In examining how the observer may affect the outcome of any observation, there is an implied contamination of objectivity. How does one objectively examine consciousness and its effect upon the world? The design and application of any Radionic technology operates on the premise that by changing the nature of the information our consciousness utilizes to effect reality, in effect we implement the energy necessary to alter that reality. So far, what appears to be changed by radionic treatment exists deep within the semiotics of the body/mind connection

Due to the growth of media based technology we have adapted to the rapid rate by which one type of Information changes into another type of Information, abbreviated here as “I>I”. In this sense, a picture of the ocean becomes pixels re-assembled on your TV screen, and a song becomes bits and bytes on the hard drive of your computer. Information is in a fluid process of constant transformation, before and after it reaches the brain of the observer. It is not hard to imagine how certain types of information can precipitate huge energetic changes within us. We loose all our money on an investment and fall into suicidal despair. The person we love agrees to marriage and suddenly we are walking on air. Information moves Energy, I>E; it is a common fact of everyday life. Yet, when we say that we can design a piece of technology to effectively optimize I>E, it sounds like magic.

In fact, the magic we all know that routinely does change Information into Energy is Art. Many people have experienced a life transformative moment (I>E) as a result of being impacted by the power of a work of art.

This is the reason for the book you are holding. It is a manual on how to understand and apply the way I>E works in nature. The method is Radionic technology. Radionics has to its credit survived over an hundred years of being ostracized by mainstream medicine and science. It is still widely used throughout the world to cure people and animals. Recently, Radionic technology has become computerized, and with the increased processing speeds, has also been successfully applied to healing large tracks of land decertified by environmental contamination. Other inspired uses await the creative practitioner.

Artists who did not want to make products could use Radionic technology as an alternative artistic venue. We see this in traditional societies. Navajo sand painting is used to treat disease. Likewise, the Hopi Indians routinely perform ritual dance to invoke rain. I personally witnessed such an occurrence. Within half an hour following the dance (on a 90 to 100 degree dry day), huge thunderheads rolled in and soaked fields and villages which only receive as a rule, six to nine inches of rain a year.

Radionic technology, coupled with art, provides amplification and tuning characteristics. Both may incorporate electronics, but are not dependent upon electricity to work. Tuning allows pinpointing, allowing the operator to target an objective in a more precise fashion. An artist using radionic tools can learn to work with nature in much the same manner as a shaman, but on a world-wide scale.
