Book summary “The greatest power in the universe”: summary

Introduction

You feel the constant strain of burnout and endless striving despite your best efforts to achieve peace and success. You push your mind and body to the limit without finding the profound mastery or sustainable energy you seek.

U. S. Andersen reveals that you can unlock deep physical, mental, and spiritual power by aligning your consciousness with the universal balance of Space and Time. You will learn to treat your brain as a precise feedback computer, harness specific brainwave states, and manage your inner ecology.

The book guides you through a clear path from fundamental mental mechanics to advanced psychic integration. You will discover answers to several vital questions.

• How does your brain operate through feedback control and electronic frequency regulation?
• What methods allow you to enter the subconscious through passive volition?
• How do cosmic forces of Space and Time affect your physical well-being?
• In what ways can you cultivate psychic abilities and connect with the Master Mind?

1. Discoveries of Cybernetics and Brainwaves

Your brain operates like an electronic computer using feedback control, and you can consciously regulate your mental frequencies to unlock learning and creativity.

Cybernetics and Feedback Control

The human brain functions similarly to an electronic computer, utilizing automatic feedback control devices in the nervous system to govern physical actions. Norbert Wiener coined the word cybernetics in 1948 in his book describing these automatic feedback control devices.

To achieve complex skills like driving or playing an instrument, actions must be practiced repeatedly until they become automatic responses handled by the nervous system without conscious thought.

An expert salesman seminar in upstate Illinois proved that teaching feedback control and goal-setting drastically improves human performance and business success.

You can apply these mechanics directly:

• Select a skill you want to acquire.
• Form a clear mental picture of yourself performing that skill.
• Practice the necessary steps repeatedly until the actions become automatic in your nervous system.

Focusing solely on material goal achievement without spiritual balance can strain human resources to the breaking point and cause severe physical or psychological collapse. The author observes that high-achieving individuals who push themselves unceasingly through intense goal-setting regimes can experience catastrophic burnout, heart attacks, or profound depression.

A prize pupil who worked a 16-hour day, seven-day week to become company president suffered a heart attack at age 42, and a young man who made over two million dollars in nine weeks on the commodity market suffered severe despondency and attempted suicide.

Brainwave Frequencies and Bio-Feedback

Brain activity is categorized into four principal frequency ranges measured in Hertz, split between conscious and unconscious mental processes. Researchers classify brainwaves into delta, theta, alpha, and beta. Beta and alpha are associated with conscious processes, while theta and delta correspond to unconscious processes.

• 1-3 Hertz, the frequency range of delta waves associated with unconscious processes.
• 4-7 Hertz, the frequency range of theta waves associated with unconscious processes.
• 8-13 Hertz, the frequency range of alpha waves associated with conscious processes.
• 14-26 Hertz, the frequency range of beta waves associated with conscious processes.

Studies of Zen masters and yogis showed that intense meditation produces high percentages of alpha waves and long trains of theta waves. Training the brain to produce high percentages of alpha waves through bio-feedback enhances relaxation, well-being, accelerated learning, and memory recall.

Natural alpha producers can learn via bio-feedback devices to increase wave amplitude, slow frequencies, and improve mental performance, correlating strongly with faster learning and better retention.

Researchers like Thomas Mulholland at the Veterans Hospital in Bedford and Barbara Brown in Sepulveda used EEG feedback systems linked to slide projectors and light shows to help subjects control their attention levels. There is an approximate proportion of 8 percent of tested subjects on whom researchers draw blanks regarding recordable alpha.

You can master these states yourself:

• Attach yourself to a portable alpha detector or EEG feedback device.
• Practice relaxation techniques with eyes closed for 8 to 16 training hours.
• Learn to generate and sustain alpha rhythm voluntarily to achieve serenity and optimal mental states.

2. Subconscious Doors and Psychoactive States

You enter the subconscious mind through passive volition and alpha-theta brainwave states, which you can access by dissolving physical armoring and understanding substances.

Passive Volition and Muscular Armoring

Producing alpha brainwaves requires passive volition, an elusive state of permitting an event rather than ordering it to happen. Conventional conditioning teaches you to hold back and exert pressure, creating high firing thresholds in neurons and excessive inhibition. To generate alpha, you must stop trying to force results and instead align with the rhythm of the source producing the brainwaves.

The author initially failed to produce consistent alpha on his newly acquired alpha meter because the harder he tried, the greater the silence.

Chronic muscular spasms act as an armor that restricts the flow of energy and blocks the generation of alpha brainwaves. Drawing on Wilhelm Reich's theories, the author notes that unconscious muscular spasms develop around the spine to prevent the free flow of life energy and block spontaneity. Using physical heat and vibration successfully dissolves these spasms, immediately allowing a strong alpha baseline to emerge.

After using a vibrator to relieve a muscular back spasm caused by a wave while swimming at Malibu, the author immediately produced a strong alpha baseline for fifteen minutes.

Stretching exercises rejuvenate muscles and activate energy, unlike traditional exercises that bunch and tire muscles. Because traditional exercises bunch muscles and drain energy, you can utilize yoga stretching postures to stretch the musculature around each segment of the spine. This practice serves as a preparatory step to dissolve muscular armoring before using a vibrator and alpha meter.

You can establish a daily physical and mental preparation routine:

• Perform fifteen minutes of yoga exercises upon arising in the morning.
• Spend thirty minutes with the length of the spine against the vibrator.
• Spend thirty minutes hooked up to the alpha meter.

Substances and Brainwave States

Marijuana usage can increase alpha wave production and lead to relaxed, visual states of consciousness. The author tests an artist named Bob before and after smoking marijuana, discovering that the drug increases his alpha baseline significantly and helps him reach the alpha-theta border where visual creativity flows.

Bob smoked a marijuana cigarette in his studio above the Sunset Strip while hooked up to an alpha meter, producing a strong thirty percent alpha baseline that surged into continuous beeping.

Alcohol consumption initially provides mild relaxation but ultimately destroys alpha wave production as drunkenness sets in. Drinking alcohol causes a temporary minor increase in alpha as it converts to glucose, but as drunkenness develops, alpha production becomes impossible, replaced by slowed beta and occasional delta rhythms.

Psychedelic drugs like LSD dramatically increase alpha-theta brainwave production and facilitate profound mystical and creative experiences. Administering LSD to subjects like Kay produces extremely high alpha baselines with deep theta rhythms, leading to intense inner visions, feelings of duality, and spontaneous artistic creation.

Bob and Kay took small purple pills of LSD, and within an hour Kay produced a ninety percent alpha baseline with eyes closed and fifty percent with eyes open.

3. Space and Time Ecology

Space and Time are fundamental, antagonistic yet complementary universal forces that govern all physical, biological, and psychological phenomena through a dynamic point of balance. Space represents expansion, cold, lightness, and the female principle, while Time represents constriction, heat, heaviness, and the male principle. All things are combinations of these two forces, operating in cycles like the sine wave, heart contractions, and atomic structures.

An atomic system has a sun-like proton surrounded by planets of electrons held together by electromagnetic forces, mirroring the solar system.

Your physical and mental well-being depends on maintaining an ecological balance between the antagonistic cosmic forces of Space and Time.

The Principles of Space and Time

Body weight is regulated by an ecological balance between energy expenditure and energy intake, corresponding to space and time. When you consume more energy than you expend, the surplus turns into matter, leading to weight gain. Conversely, expending more energy than is taken in turns bodily substance into energy, causing weight loss. Maintaining the correct balance of energy restores the body to its ideal weight, which the author terms Inner Ecology.

The author's weight dropped at the rate of two pounds per week from 237 down to 187 pounds where it stabilized, totaling fifty pounds lost.

Devoting one hour daily to a structured regimen of mental and physical exercises achieves inner ecological balance. Treating yourself as a spiritual athlete requires dedicating sixty minutes every day to spiritual conditioning, divided across six specific practices in precise proportions.

• Dedicate one hour daily to spiritual exercises
• Spend fifteen minutes on meditation
• Spend five minutes on concentration
• Spend fifteen minutes on physical postures
• Spend five minutes on breath control
• Spend fifteen minutes on chanting
• Spend five minutes on color imagery

Inner Ecology and Nutritional Balance

Foods are categorized into Space and Time elements, where natural raw foods maintain a healthy high potassium to sodium ratio, while processed and cooked foods drastically increase sodium and deplete potassium. Sodium is considered a Time element promoting substance and fat, while potassium is a Space element promoting energy. Natural foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds naturally favor potassium by a ratio of at least 25 to 1, whereas canning, cooking, and processing foods invert these ratios and disrupt the electrical potential of nerve cells.

Canning beets increases sodium from 60 to 236 milligrams while decreasing potassium from 335 to 167 milligrams.

The Ecology Diet restores health and causes permanent weight loss by balancing the body's sodium-potassium ratio and eliminating processed foods. Processed foods and commercial baby foods are excessively high in sodium and deficient in potassium, which causes potassium loss from cells, water retention, edema, low blood sugar, and fatigue. The Ecology Diet corrects this by emphasizing raw fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts, which naturally supply potassium and regulate metabolism.

Dr. L. K. Dahl fed baby rats canned meats and vegetables prepared for infants, producing fatal high blood pressure in four months.

Transform your diet and health habits using specific practical steps:

• Throw away bathroom scales and stop counting calories.
• Concentrate on building good health through proper nutrition.
• Avoid buying and consuming foods that endanger health to create an economic boycott.
• Include nutritional supplements when traveling extensively, such as natural vitamin and mineral compounds.

4. Psychic Power and the Master Mind

You can cultivate psychic abilities, accelerate your learning, and connect directly with the Master Mind by purifying your blood platelet chemistry and utilizing biofeedback.

Outer psychology uses biofeedback devices like a galvanometer to measure electrical skin resistance, allowing individuals to locate and clear emotional charges tied to past memories and resisted ideas. The galvanometer measures the electrical armor surrounding the human body. When you recall a traumatic memory and experience high resistance, the meter needle spikes; reviewing the memory repeatedly until the needle drops to zero removes the emotional charge.

The author used the galvanometer to process suppressed memories ranging from a childhood fire accident and his mother choosing his initials to a near-fatal hanging incident and a severe head fall in Portland, Oregon. You can purchase a galvanometer from an electronic wizard for $150. A suicide attempt once left the author unconscious for twelve hours before waking up.

Hook yourself up to the galvanometer and probe your past memories starting from the earliest recollections. Identify spikes on the meter resistance needle indicating resistance to specific ideas or memories. Repeatedly run over the memory and examine the underlying concepts until the needle drops to zero and the emotional charge is fully released.

Bioplasmic Energy and Telepathy

Every living organism possesses an exact duplicate energy body, known as the bioplasmic body or astral body, which mirrors physical health and disease. Semyon Kirilian, an electrician from Krasnodar, photographed plant and animal forms in high-frequency fields ranging from 75,000 to 200,000 oscillations per second. Illness and emotion originate in this energy pattern before manifesting physically. An optimal state for thought transference occurs when the sender operates in the theta brainwave state and the receiver operates in alpha.

During a test in Southern California on a rainy evening, a sender in a hypnotic theta state transmitted cards to a receiver in an alpha state, resulting in sixty-three correct guesses out of seventy-five. Another run correctly named twenty-three out of twenty-five cards. The tobiscope locates acupuncture points on the skin measuring 1/10 millimeter in diameter.

Information can be absorbed into the subconscious at accelerated rates by combining deep physical relaxation, music, and alpha brainwave states. Dr. Georgi Lozanov claimed a fifty times speed-up in learning, allowing students to master two-year language courses in twenty days or absorb five hundred new words in a single fifteen-minute session.

Relax both mind and body completely. Play two tape recordings simultaneously, one containing the educational material and the other soothing music. Focus attention entirely on the music so the spoken words fade into the background.

The Master Mind and Universal Structure

Psychic power relies on a specific biochemistry centered around the blood platelet receiving an electrical charge as it passes through the pineal gland. The blood platelet has three poles that receive positive and negative charges when passing through an unconstricted pineal gland. Ingesting pork disrupts this electrical charge because pig blood platelets carry opposite charges compared to human platelets, requiring twenty-seven days for a perfectly functioning psychic organism to recover.

The universe is structured like a pyramid according to a system of geometrical progression originating from a balanced Source that divides into Space and Time. The Great Pyramid of Egypt, along with pyramids in Mexico and Atlantis, was built by waterpower using gravity and fire-induced vacuums to illustrate this structure. Realigning the earth's magnetic pole with its geographical pole requires thrust devices housed inside giant pyramids built in Los Angeles, Tenri, Stonehenge, Bimini, Easter Island, Peking, and a reactivated Great Pyramid.

Take a tiny pinch of ginger with herb tea or water several times a day to remove positive charges from the body. Dissolve a teaspoon of ginger in a quart of water to withdraw positive charges from the home environment. Eat raw most of fruits, nuts, cereal grains, and vegetables to maintain physical strength and nutrition.

Learn to laugh at what the world calls great misfortune and weep at what inspires it to laugh. Look behind each name for the existence of its opposite. Strike judgment dead and hold opinion in abeyance. Become empty of self, soul, name, goals, and desire. Work with the dark and illusion, reigning in human attention like a bit and bridle. Swear to abandon all desire, forsake the self, abandon judgment, and have no goal except the art of suggestion.

Progress through the Seven Sacred Scrolls starting with Truth. Undergo training as leaders of the New Age at Atlantis University. Seek personal guidance to the Philosopher's Stone. Place the Atlantis University trademark on alpha meters, theta meters, and compliant Tesla coil variations. Subject individuals between the cosmic coil and resonator to achieve mental and physical rejuvenation. Reactivate the Great Pyramid of Egypt by outfitting it with an ascension device and replacing the missing caprock with the Philosopher's Stone. Tune the pyramid into the Master Mind to house a thrust device for realigning the earth's poles. Use distilled water to avoid the Forces of Imbalance.
