The materials analysis machine David devised uses very low levels of static field resonant variations. It monitors responses from living entities and some life-compatible materials. It uses non-invasive wireless connections to observe changes in nearby material and living beings.

Steven Guth suggested adapting an instrument for emulating the work of Cleve Backster. David Beale made an instrument, circa 2007, to duplicate wirelessly the tasks previously done with probes affixed with ‘conductivity paste’ to living plant tissue - usually leaves - by Clive Backster. 

The new method can be described as an analyzing proximity detector. Backster’s Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) pads made actual electrical contact with the subject; David’s new instrument is totally noninvasive . 

The instrument uses sensing pads as aerials (see photos). These are insulated on the outside and slightly conductive inside. Many variations were tried. All are non-invasive. They use minute audio-frequency electrostatic field changes (alternations – changes to DC). The audio-frequency field variations are similar in size to distant communications radio signals.

The sensor pads in these photos were laminated with a simple office A4 paper laminator.

In the photos, the pads are gently in place alongside the geranium cuttings and the tree trunk.  The voltage readout for this version was a pair of digital multi-meters. The output selected was variations to one of the DC levels, indicating variations in the strength of the resonance, relative to a nominal DC baseline.

A later, more resent version of the instrument (photo directly above) has its own front-panel meter for either of its two waveform amplitudes, their frequency and phase relationship, as well as AC and DC outputs for digital meters and oscilloscopes.

 For these Materials Analyzer instruments, a computer oscilloscope is usually used, with a laptop computer and appropriate averaging-analyzing software.

Outputs, of the specially made GSR instrument, were included for the instrument to be read using ordinary DC meters.

These wireless GSR instruments draw typically under 1mA including processing into DC of the frequency of the resonances (Hz) the two AC Voltage measurements, and their timing relative to each other (Phase). They could be made more economically and easily by using modern components, which would use about the same power as a digital watch.

The instrument was the first materials analyzer of this type to be used for sensing changes in living plant cuttings and a tree when placed into interactions with people. Steven Guth consistently caused the plant to change outputs on DC millivolt meters, hugely above the stable base-line.

The DC levels were each taken from an AC signal rectified and compared with a matching DC level to get a scale-compatible baseline. Then the differences, between the reference and the variables, were amplified and sent as DC voltage, into simple cheap multimeters – as in the photos.

A plant cutting also interacted with the Earth’s energy field lines often called "ley" lines. Versions of this instrument also interact with such “dragon” or “Earth Grid” lines, very strongly; depending on the type of sensing aerials and how the instruments are adjusted.

Interesting, the plant had ceased responding to the known ley line after the fourth pass in the trolley. The first response was the strongest, with gradual decay as the experiment continued. This shows the difficulty of setting up experimental methods; and why we tended to see plants as closer to cats than to chemical reactions in a test tube. Consider waving a fish in front of a cat, and after about four passes the cat gets bored with the fish stimulus and the uncooperative experimenter.

In general, the responses were very noticeable – huge jumps in meter readings compared with a stable, small, wobbling low-frequency noisy baseline.

Simple band-pass filtering and integration was used. No signal averaging was needed!

So far instruments of this type have responded with types of lines that can be dowsed … including shallow underground water, aquifers, fractures and deep artesian water.

The present instruments have not yet been able to be adjusted to respond to Hartmann lines, perhaps because their aerial sensors are intended to relate to only static field levels. Previous instruments responded very strongly, to what the inventor believes are Hartmann lines. They had aerial sensors that depended also on inductive-magnetic effects additional to electrostatic field interaction.

Connections, of this type with the plants, use longitudinal microvolt variations (AC) to whatever static field levels are present. These experiments' aerials were insulated slightly-conductive plastic small flat (postage-stamp size) pads (see the photos).

In parallel with the bio-compatible signals, I believe, are other sets of biological signals that are compatible with static fields so might often accompany static field variations. Magnetic variations were not used, for reasons valid technically and for ethical considerations.  

Albert instructed Steven calmingly, slowly, “You dream, stay here in place. I help. You meet Clever Man from here he come, he help. No sleep, keep awake, remember.” Steven did as he was told. As his meditation deepened, he heard a roaring sound - bullroarers. There were two, one on each side of the crevice high above. Albert’s soft, slow voice came to Steven,

light come out of the holes in the cliff face and assemble  themselves into the shape of a man. It (or was it he) stood about 8 metres away. Clay marked his body, he had big eyes and no mouth. The man walked towards the pair sitting on the ground. Albert’s voice said, “Wandjina, come to unwrap your stone, I help, keep eyes closed, sit, sit, sit.” An indigo ball of light floated in front of Steven’s closed eyes. He felt that he had to look at the pattern on top of  the stone,

Somewhere out there, far away, was a planet that grew cauliflower trees. Maybe now it would grow leaves, someday. So that is how progress, how evolution happened; ideas were shared forward and backwards across the cosmos.

Steven heard Albert’s voice say, “All over, now.” Albert took hold of Steven’s left arm and pulled the sleeve back from his wrist. As Steven was opening his eyes he saw Albert flick a cigarette lighter into flame under his arm just below where he wore his wrist watch. Steven still spaced out from meditation felt no pain, but his eyes saw what was happening and asked, “Why, what are you doing to me?” Albert put the lighter back in a pocket and said in a soft calm voice, “That to make you not forget your dream story. Body help you remember this time, this place – you always be here.” Steven, still unaware of the burn on his arm, leant back against the tree and tried to pull himself together. In a little while he said, “Did you give me the pictures? Did you hypnotize me?” As Albert wrapped the stone he said,

“Dreaming picture true, we  share same picture. The Wandjina live here, I know him and call him many times. I ask him to help.” “Where did he come from? There are no paintings on the walls.” Albert, speaking in his calming, slow voice, said, “The water holes on walls home for Clever Men bones. Wisdom from bones it goes into walls, into stone. Dreaming come out when right person ask.” Steven now awake and curious asked, “And the shapes on the ground, the roaring sounds, what was that about?” “That Mia Mia making shapes, good and bad shapes to keep big bad spirits, bad magic away. Good magic and bad magic always come along at same time. Bad magic make you sick. Bad spirit make black fellow drink wine, kill him that way,

slowly like with pointed bone.” Steven sat, looking at the sun spots moving over the ground as the wind blew the leaves high overhead. “Albert, did you or Wandjina unwrap the stone and what happened then?” “Your stone special, it make very easy for you to visit Sky Being. Clever Men visit sky to get wisdom. Learn how to do this take me many years, nights in desert watching stars, waiting watching for message to come.” 115 116 “It was all so strange, did you see the cauliflower tree?” “Maybe no, I see trees here talk to far away in sky through you. You do good.” “Will that happen every time when I use the stone?” “Each place different. This a place for stars. Crevice in cliff make it easy, thin line of stars in sky. When new star come over top of rocks, it shines into your mind to make message come in clear, easy.” “And if I go to another sacred site?” “Not same, different, When stone working,

easy for you to go to other Dreamtime places. Some good, some maybe kill you.” “Kill me?” asked Steven, with curiosity, rather than concern in his voice. “I say before, you good fellow. Hard for bad spirit come to kill you slowly. Not able to take your blood away, to make you drink much wine. Mia Mia help.” “So why did I get the stone?” Albert, sensing Steven’s frustration said gently, “You ready, look like Aboriginal. Dream spirit who make stone want person to use. He find you when you at old, old place with round rocks.” “Oh,” said Steven, “That would be the Barwang rock temple. Say, how come you know about that?” “Wandjina give me picture at library,” said Albert. “Picture at the library?” “Yes, picture, always picture.”
