Moving energy with art: Duncan Laurie's book on radionics, The Secret Art, discusses how.

The history of radionics is the story of how various inventors designed devices that employ directed intent to affect the real world. With these tools, they promoted healing without pills or surgery, grew crops without fertilizer, restrained insect predation without pesticides, and performed a host of other seemingly impossible feats that defy mechanistic science.

Coincidentally, radionic inventors discovered by trial and error that even drawings and bizarre technology could function radionically. This discovery followed a long process of design innovation that started with mechanical devices, proceeded through a generation of electronic instruments, and most recently has been applied to computer and software technology. Conceivably, the theory and techniques outlined in this book could provide artists with a revolutionary approach to the creative process that is at once both new and timeless. A potential exists today for radionic ideas to empower creative individuals to develop skills in working with Nature that achieve profound real world results.

Author Duncan Laurie, a sculptor with 30 years experience in architectural glass design, was introduced to the world of alternative technology and inventors in 1980 by the late Richard J. Reynolds III. Reynolds was the last heir to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into alternative cancer research. Thus began a journey of discovery whereby the world of art and subtle energy technology slowly began to reveal their commonalities of function and purpose.
