[Old] Book Two: Goethe, Steiner and the Ancient Greeks – or – Rethinking the Nature of Substance
This book – if I even manage to write it(!) – will be a big philosophical work. I intend it to be based on a number of ideas and indications I discovered in the course of my researches on the original book…

[Old] Chapter 17: Conclusions – Rethinking the Nature of Substance [New Ch.21 V0.2]
In this book I hope to have introduced the minimum of knowledge necessary to attain at least the beginnings of an understanding of one of the greatest scientific challenges that I am aware. The existence of the phenomenon of biological transmutation of chemical (isotopic) elements would not be denied by pretty much every scientist on…

[Old] Chapter 16: Chemistry, the Atom & the Harmony of the Spheres [New Ch.21 V0.1]
In which a synthesis of the previous chapters is attempted, linking them all with biodynamics and the harmony of the spheres.

[Old] Chapter 15: Nick Thomas – Space and Counterspace [New Ch.19 V0.2]
Nick Thomas, based on indications by Rudolf Steiner, developed a mathematical formulation of his etheric conceptions based on projective geometry. …

[Old] Chapter 14: Rudolf Steiner – A Spiritual Scientific World View [New Ch.16 V0.1]
Rudolf Steiner took the philosophical ideas which were implicit in the works of Goethe and took them further. Significantly further. It has taken me many years to even begin to understand just some of his philosophical and scientific ideas…

[Old] Chapter 13: Goethe’s World View [New Ch.15 V0.1]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was an observer of nature and laid the foundations for a phenomenological science. His collected scientific works were edited by Rudolf Steiner. Goethe’s ideas and methodologies inspired Herzeele, Preuss and Holleman. Holleman recommended that the biological transmutation phenomenon might best be studied using a Goethean scientific methodology. Unfortunately he did not…

[Old] Chapter 11: Biberian’s Marinobacter Experiments [New Ch.11 V0.2.2]
As if Holleman’s appearance and disappearance of potassium wasn’t strange enough, Biberian’s marine bacteria results were even more challenging. For every measured chemical element increase in one culture container, an equal but opposite decrease occurred in the other. Whilst it is always possible that errors occurred, in both cases the results and methodologies were such…

[Old] Chapter 9: Vysotskii and Cold Fusion [New Ch.12 V0.2]
Vysotskii and Kornilova’s most convincing experiments and the only explanatory theory inline with mainstream physics and the ideas of cold fusion. The key concept here is that this work shows that a chemical isotope (element) transmutation may be enabled using the safe, low energies, of chemical and biological processes, without having to resort to extremely…
