Chapter One
What is an SE-5?
Walking through the crowded isles of the Future Technology Symposium, the
gentle feelings of peace and serene calm surprised me as I passed a crowd
of people at one of the booths. As I nuzzled into the crowd to get a closer
look, I noticed that everyone was listening intently to a friendly looking
man that had a slight look of what I imagine an extra-terrestrial could
look like. I can't say that it was anything in particular in how he looked,
but more in the eyes. Yes, that's it. It was the look of the future showing
through his eyes.
I moved in a little closer until I could hear his words as he was giving
his spiel. ``By bringing in the higher vibrational frequencies, they naturally
become the stronger pattern of resonance within the body. Healing is a
natural outcome as these frequencies are of a higher order and contain,
what we would think of as, more life energy.''
My ears picked up considerably when I heard the words, healing and more
life energy, as that is just what I needed about now, more life energy.
I wouldn't say I was a hypochondriac, but I certainly had my share of problems
with my health. After growing up with asthma, severe allergies to about
everything, and later developing hypoglycemia, and migraine headaches,
I felt like a little more life energy would do me just fine. At the moment
I was only running on about two cylinders, and it felt to me like it was
all my body could do to get through the day. Healing itself seemed out
of the question. I didn't know what all of these vibrational frequencies
were that he was talking about, but I assumed it had something to do with
the small instrument that was on the table before him. I listened further.
``The key here is balance,'' he continued. ``When we bring the system into
balance, there is naturally more energy available for healing and other
areas of life. Here's an example. Try hanging your head down as far as
it will go. Just let it hang there and relax. Feels good doesn't it?''
I had to admit, I felt better, at least for a while. I soon noticed that
my back was beginning to complain. Then he said, ``Now let you head fall
backward.'' Again I tried this, but this time it didn't feel good from
the beginning. My back was definitely screaming by this time. After letting
us stay in that position for an excruciatingly long thirty seconds he said,
``O.K., now see if you find the point in the middle where your head is
neither falling forward nor backward, but is in a perfect state of balance.''
His point was well taken, as I instantly felt relieved of the burden of
holding my head with my neck muscles.
``Your entire system works on the same principle. Imagine how much better
your body would feel if everything was balanced and all of your energy
was available for whatever you want in your life. Let me have a volunteer
from the group?'' he asked.
By this time what he said was sounding very good to me, so I shot my hand
up and he said, ``Come on up here young man.'' At the moment I didn't feel
so young, but I moved through the crowd next to him. He said, ``Do you
have any health problems, or complaints?'' I didn't know where to start,
but somehow I croaked out the words, ``My back.'' It wasn't making me feel
any better standing out in front of the crowd as I was always nervous in
front of a group, especially when I had to talk. Little by little I began
to calm down, and he felt very reassuring.
He then asked me to stand next to a blank screen at the back of the booth
while he took my picture. As the picture slid out the front of the camera,
he continued talking while the picture was developing. ``By taking a picture
of you, the crystals in the film emulsion are `cut' to resonate with your
subtle vibrational field. This will act as a tuning device much in the
same way as your television has a channel selector.'' He then slipped the
picture into a slot on the side of the small computer that he had in front
of him. I noticed that he was pushing some buttons and rubbing one hand
on the instrument while turning a knob with the other. He said that he
would explain the procedures later to anyone that wanted to stay but he
mentioned that everything looked good and there weren't any interferences
at the moment.
After a few more movements of similar fashion on the instrument, he walked
over behind me and asked, ``Does it hurt right here?'' I thought I was
going to go through the ceiling as he pushed on the exact spot where the
pain was coming from. When I somewhat loudly yelled ``Yes,'' he simply
said ``I thought as much,'' and went back over to the instrument and started
pushing some buttons again. In a moment he asked me to lean my head back
and feel my back. I slowly let my head glide backward and a surprising
thing happened. I felt a kind of click and movement in my back, and all
of the pain disappeared. `Amazing,' I thought to myself, `I usually only
feel this way after seeing a chiropractor.'
After telling him how good my back was feeling, I asked, ``Did your machine
do that?''
He replied, ``No, your body did. All I did was send new information to
your system and it did the rest. You see, our bodies, as well as all life,
come preprogrammed for health and vitality. It has intelligence and knows
how to repair itself if there is a problem. As a race, we are learning
about separation, and individuality, and therefore have cut ourselves off
from most ideas of wholeness. We grow up separating ourselves from everything
to find out who we are. Since we are spending most of our time with these
thoughts, our bodies begin to respond in like manner. I guess you could
say that I reminded your system that it was indeed a system and that it
could work together regaining wholeness through the subtle dimensions.''
Most of this was above my head, but I didn't really care at the moment,
as I was feeling great. I hadn't felt this good in years. As I was reveling
in this feeling of gratitude and joy, I drifted back to consciousness and
awoke next to my beloved, who was still sleeping next to me.
I quietly rolled over and searched for my dream journal and penlight in
the darkness to write down everything that I could remember from my dream.
I was so excited that it had worked. Before falling asleep I had programmed
myself to have a lucid dream and learn more about interesting technology. I had heard about Radionics and thougt perhaps this might be what he was talking about.
I wrote furiously as to not miss any of the details of my first meeting
with the dream teacher. With my thoughts whirling I staved off the temptation
to wake my lover and tell her everything that I had experienced. Finally,
the weight of the night enveloped me once again as I drifted back to the
fair.
I found myself once again standing at the booth and the presenter seemed
to sense both my elation and my dumbfoundedness.
He said, ``Let's begin at the very beginning and then straighten out any
confusion that this may create for you.'' He continued, ``The letters SE-5
stand for Subtle Energy -- 5th model. The SE-5 is the fifth model of a
digital device that allows you to measure and balance subtle energy fields.
You might think of it as a computer that you can use to detect whether
or not something is emitting a life field, and then send out information
to help restore the balance of these subtle fields. Sounds a little like
Greek doesn't it?'' I nodded. ``Well, let's look at it step-by-step,''
he replied.
He turned slightly to the right and pointed what looked to me like a kind
of remote control for a TV into the air. Then, before the whole crowd,
words appeared before us floating in a ghostly three dimensional hologram.
It said,

``In the beginning we thought that these subtle fields were a form of energy,
hence the name Subtle Energy Field. We have since determined that we are
not working with energy at all. It would be better described as a pure
field of information that is emitted from all creations in nature and all
parts of those creations, down to the very atoms that make up everything.
We will discuss this in detail later, but as we all know, nothing is really
solid even though it feels that way to our touch. Way down inside are the
tiny atoms moving at incredible speeds inside of everything that we know
of. But how does an atom know how to move the electrons in such numbers
and ways to produce specific elements and build molecules of distinct shape
and purpose? We have called the blueprints that govern this creative process,
Intrinsic Data Fields. (IDFs)
As it turns out, everything is designed from these blueprints and normally
they are found encoded in, or riding on some form of energy like light,
electromagnetics, atomic, etc. Since they are usually associated with an
energy field, it was only natural in the beginning to think that they were
energy. Some people have called these fields, Life fields or L-fields for
short because they seem to appear in all forms of life, animate and inanimate.''
He continued, ``There have been many names for these fields, but we refer
to them as Intrinsic Data Fields or sometimes Subtle Information Fields.
They are so subtle that experiments can be affected by thought. This is
one reason that it is sometimes difficult to get 100% repeatable experiments
with subtle fields, Radionics or any other type of experiment. The very thoughts of
the people involved can affect the experiment! Even the establishment scientists
are beginning to recognize this in experiments with atomic and sub-atomic
particles. Scientists are beginning to think that they have a personality,
because they sometimes misbehave,'' he mused.
I chuckled under my breath as I thought about atoms talking to one another,
planning tricks to play on the scientist.
``Are we saying that every living thing in the universe is emitting these
subtle fields of information?'' Not waiting for an answer he replied, ``Yes.
Not only that, but every `non-living' object, such as a stone or metal,
is emitting a subtle field of information. In a sense everything in our
universe is alive as everything is made up of spinning atoms that are built
from these informational blueprints (IDFs). Let's look at a plant for example.''
He pressed a button on his remote control and floating before us was a
leaf with lights pouring out around the edges. (See fig. 1.1)
With a special photographic process called Kirlian Photography, one
can take a photo of, let's say, a leaf, and all around the edges of the
leaf you can see a brilliant glow of light.''
He continued, ``This corona or `aura' of the leaf is the subtle field blueprint
of this leaf. This blueprint remains for some time even after taking away
a part of the leaf.'' (see 1.2)
``It is really the pre-physical shape of the leaf that is similar to an
architect's blueprint that, in the architect's mind, is very real and he/she
knows exactly how the building will manifest and take form. Of course,
Nature's architects don't have home owners that change their mind half
way through the process,'' he laughed, ``most of the time Nature turns
out objects of perfection.''
I was beginning to enjoy myself as the information flowed into my mind
effortlessly.

He continued, “The SE-5 plus can be used to measure the strength and clarity
of this information field of life. Now let’s take for an example, the heart
of a dog. It would make sense, that if the subtle information field of
the heart was strong, then the heart would be able to create and maintain
itself in a healthy manner. It would be full of vitality and energy which
is normal by Nature’s design.
“Likewise, if the heart was to have a very weak subtle information field
around it, it may not be so healthy. One would need to go to a licensed
veterinarian to be sure, or in the case of a human, a recognized medical
authority like a licensed medical doctor. This way both your rational mind
is content, and you don’t disrupt the power struggles of the medical system,”
he said with a glint in his eye.
“Here is another way of looking at it. If you were to do a Radionic analysis of a fruit
tree, and you found a high subtle information reading of a bacteria, does
this mean that this tree has a bacteria in it? Since we are not physically
looking through a microscope we are not able to see whether or not there
is a bacteria in this tree, but we have found some very interesting correlations.
It appears that when we find a low IDF reading of bacteria, that little
or no physical element is found. Occasionally, it has been observed that
even when there is a high reading found, physically there would be no bacteria
found. We have termed these readings as Miasms, which would be described
as a blueprint in which the ‘building project’ has not progressed to the
physical level.
“It seems as though everything in the Universe has its own individual
resonant information that it emits, as individual and readable as your
fingerprint. So it would make sense that there is a bacteria present that
is emitting that field. The only way to know for sure, is to take a portion
of the tree and look at it under a microscope. After making this comparison
you may soon learn to trust that when certain IDF readings are found, there
is also a physical correlation.
“There is one person that uses his SE-5 plus to analyze the content
of the precious metals that he receives for making jewelry. This is very
precise measuring, but he has found that it is extremely reliable to measure
the information field to know the physical metal’s content.”
I could tell he was warming to his subject, as his eyes were glowing
with excitement.
He charged ahead. “The amazing part of the SE-5 plus is that it can
not only detect and measure the strength of these subtle fields, but it
can also send information to try and balance the IDFs as well. How is this
possible? This is actually a natural phenomenon, using predictable laws
and principles. “We can begin by using the metaphor of a TV broadcasting
station. Most TV stations are capable of not only transmitting information,
like Saturday Night Live, but also of receiving a show from a satellite
or microwave tower. Our bodies seem to work in a similar fashion, but at
a much higher level of efficiency. We transmit and receive information
all of the time through our five senses as well as our sixth sense, all
at the same time.
“How many times has it happened to you that you were doing some task
like washing the dishes or cleaning up the house, thinking of someone and
perhaps keeping an eye on the kids, and maybe even watching TV all at the
same time?” he asked and took a deep breath. “Then the phone rings and
it is the person you were just thinking of? The human system is capable
of doing many things simultaneously.
“The SE-5 plus is really a fine-tuning and amplifying system to bring
into conscious awareness some of the things that you may already be doing.
With the help of the SE-5 plus, we are able to tune in, very precisely,
to any energy emanation in the universe no matter what the distance is!
“I have a friend who was on vacation and had rented a car. He had locked
the keys in the car and walked to a hotel to call a locksmith. The locksmith
told my friend to wait right there and he would come and get him. By the
time he drove by to pick up my friend and take him to the car, the car
had vanished. The locksmith felt very bad for my friend and offered to
give him a lift back to his hotel. After calling the police and getting
no hope of results there, he sat and brooded over his fate for a couple
of hours. He thought back and realized he had heard about someone finding lost people with Radionics.
“Then he remembered that he had his SE-5 plus with him and decided to
give it a go. He figured that if the car was emanating subtle information
fields, perhaps he could trace it down. He got out a map of the area and
using the map scanning technique, he found the location of the emanations.
He called a cab and had the driver take him to the location that he had
found on the map. It turned out to be a construction project of a high
rise building and sure enough, the car was sitting right there in the parking
lot! He called the police and they contacted the rental company for a new
key. He was up and running again, but this could have gone very differently,”
he said and then paused for a quick drink of water.
I looked around at the crowd and noticed that several people had caught
the impact of this story. Others had a slight look of disbelief on their
face. I was feeling caught in the middle, perhaps a little detached. My
interest was certainly there, but I was not yet a true believer. But my
back was feeling much better...
“So by now this SE-5 plus must sound to you like a combination of a
Star Trek Tri-Corder and the little glowing cylinder that ‘Bones’ uses
to ‘look’ inside of his patients. I must admit that sometimes it feels
like even Star Trek is a little outdated. The SE-5 plus can be used for even
more exotic projects. It has many applications for business, agriculture,
mining, and health, with many new areas being developed every day.”
Then he asked if there were any questions so far. The woman next to
me seemed a bit impatient and asked, “This is very interesting, but can
you tell us what all these buttons are for?” as she pointed to the instrument
on the table. I didn’t mind, as my curiosity was also becoming aroused.
“OK,” he said, “let’s have a look at the instrument itself and the purpose
of each of its functions.” He clicked his remote control once again and
hovering in front of us was a holographic image of the SE-5 plus with little
numbers and letters pointing to different part of the instrument. (see
Fig. 1.3)

The SE-5 plus:
1. On-Off Switch. This turns the SE-5 plus On and Off.
2. 100-1000 Switch. This changes the scale of the digital Amplitude
Readout (#5) from 0 - 100.0 to 0 - 1000. This determines an actual percentage
readout of whatever you are taking a measurement of. Simpler instruments
from the past had different measuring modes and this switch accommodates
those who are familiar with older instruments.
3. Normal - Scan switch. In the normal mode, you can take a measurement
with the amplitude knob (#7) and see a readout on the Amplitude Readout.
(#5) The Scan mode was originally designed for the scanning of new IDF
Tunings. A Tuning is a number that represents something like an apple,
for instance. We could call it an apple or we could scan for a numerical
Tuning and it may turn out like this. “201-878.” To the SE-5 plus, this
is the same as typing the word “apple” into the computer, but I am getting
ahead of myself.
Another interesting application of the Scan mode is by using an attachment
called the scanning probe. (Appendix C.) For example if you had many small
vials of food substances and you wanted to check your subtle fields for
IDF compatibility of these foods, you could use the probe to touch each
little vial and feel for a change on the Detector Plate. (#8) This saves
a lot of time.
It is also used when using an external computer and the software like
that developed by Human Services Development Center. (For more about the
software, see Appendix A.)
4. Measure - Balance Switch. This switches the SE-5 plus between being
a receiver (Measure mode) and being a transmitter of subtle information
fields (Balance mode). You would use the Measure position to ‘pick up’
the information field of someone or something, and the Balance position
to send information back to them.
5. Amplitude Readout. This displays the numbers for the percentage readout
when making a measurement.
6. Cell. The Cell is a small slot on the side of the instrument in which
a photograph or small physical sample of the animal, person or object is
placed. For example one can clip a small piece of hair and place it into
an envelope and slip it into the Cell.
7. Amplitude Knob. By turning this knob, the numbers on the Amplitude
Readout change from 0-100 or 0-1000 depending on the scale switch. (#2)
8. Detector Plate. This is sometimes referred to as the ‘rub’ or ‘stick’
plate because one rubs the fingers over the plate while turning the Amplitude
Knob and waits for a change in the sensation on the plate. To me it feels
like, at first, stroking velvet. Then it changes to a sticky table top
that someone had spilled pop on and then it dried. The change happens when
the Amplitude reaches the resonance peak of the measurement.
9. 25-pin connector. This has several purposes. Sometimes it is used
to plug in the Output cable. The Output cable can be used for many different
applications. For example I know of one person that used it to ‘charge-up’
his gasoline in his car and more than doubled his gas mileage. Another
use of this connector is to hookup a larger computer (like a laptop or
palmtop) so that you can have all of the convenience and power of a personal
computer. (see Turbo Method, Appendix A.)
10. AC adapter jack. This is so you can run the SE-5 plus on normal
120V house current. This saves the batteries when you have the opportunity
to plug it in.
11. Battery Compartment. This is where the 9V battery is kept. To change
the battery, simply open this compartment and unsnap the battery from the
battery clip and snap on a new one.
12. Built in computer. This is where different programs are stored.
For example, the Agriculture Program, General Analysis program, Chakra
program, etc. can be activated, depending on what software you use. This
is also your main control center to type in whatever you would like to
analyze or balance.
He said, “The letters A-K (Fig. 1.3) are references to the onboard computer.”
A. is the On/Off switch for the computer.
B. is the [CA] Clear All button that works like the clear button on
a calculator. It clears the computer screen of whatever is showing at the
time.
C. is the [CE] Clear Entry key. This is used if you make a mistake in
typing and will clear the screen but keep you in the same program.
D. is the computer window that displays words and numbers.
E. are the Funtion Keys. Each key performs a different function, ie.
to call up the main menu (see F), build a custom program, run a custom
program, etc.
F. is the Menu Key (One of the Function Keys.) Used to call up the main
menu.
G. YES key. This is used to select items from the main menu.
H. No key. Used for going backward in the menu items and other functions
as well.
I. is the [ENTER] button that is used to move from one Tuning to another
in a program. For example, when you first begin the Subtle Balance program,
a Tuning appears on the screen, 9062755 Align Chakras. By pushing [Enter],
it advances the program one step to 9424459 Aural Balance. By pushing [Enter]
again, it moves to the next Tuning, 6975766 Auto toxicity, etc. There are
40 Tunings in this program. (Note: Not all SE-5s come with the same programs
in the computer. I refer to the one that I use the most, the B-4 program.)
J. is the number keypad.
K. is on the side of the computer and is a contrast control for the
computer screen.” the man finished.

I felt deeply satisfied as I awoke and began writing down my adventure.
The day continued on its normal course, and I tried to keep busy to make
it go by faster. My mind was pulling toward the evening, when I could return,
once again, to the symposium.
