 Consciousness, Vorticity, and Dipoles
Abstract
As spin is a fundamental feature of the universe, preliminary evidence suggests that its
study could help in understanding consciousness. Research detailed in this paper further
develops the author’s work in Reference 1. The findings demonstrate that rotating
objects generate fields that are also associated with mind-generated fields. Numerous
quantitative properties of these fields generated by rotation are shown to be very different
to fields associated with static objects. Dipole antenna radiation patterns are also
discovered. The conclusions suggest that vorticity is not only involved in consciousness,
but also has wider implications in understanding our universe, and therefore the subject
warrants further research.

Objectives
Spin is a fundamental property of the universe at whatever scale one chooses – be it
rotating galaxies, planets revolving in solar systems, planets spinning on their own axes,
electrons spinning around nuclei of atoms, or the spin associated with fundamental
particles. The latter particles that carry the fundamental forces of nature, such as the
photon and the gluon are bosons, which have integer spin, whilst the quarks and leptons
that make up matter are fermions, which have half-integer spin (1/2, 3/2 …). The
objectives of the research described in this article are to further the author’s quest in the
study of consciousness, its connection with vorticity, and the mind’s interaction with the
structure of the universe.

Scope
For thousands of years, numerous civilisations around the world have been aware of
“spiritual aspects”, “earth energies”, “auras”, and other sensations that are not yet
detectable by instrumentation. As will become apparent, this approach may at first seem
unusual, but is proving to be very productive in the study of consciousness. In this
context, it will be demonstrated that dowsing is a useful, relevant, and powerful tool in
this research.

The findings, as detailed in this paper, are compared for four different situations. These
are:-

A. Static Solids
B. Rotating Solids - special
C. Rotating Water - special
D. Rotating Objects - general

Each is examined in turn.

Static Solids
Starting with static objects such as crystals, enables a benchmark to be set against which
observations of rotational experiments can be compared. A brief recap of an aura
associated with tangible matter is a useful starting point. (Reference 1, chapter 10)

Figure 1

Figure 1 is a horizontal cross-sectional plane through any object, and illustrates auras
associated with solids, the properties of which may be briefly summarised and quantified
as follows.

1. Auras comprise a series of ellipsoidal shaped inner fields.

2. These ellipsoids are concentric with the centre of the source object.
3. These ellipsoid fields have 7 boundaries. i.e. there are seven different fields.
4. The separation distances between these boundaries form an Arithmetic Series.
5. These ellipsoids comprise Type 1 Fields. (Reference 1, chapter 13).
6. These auras are present in all 3 dimensions.
7. The size of the core aura (the inner most field) is a function of Mass (Reference
1, page 69). The formula for the Range (the distance of the core aura boundary
to the centre of the source object ) is given by:-

R = a log M + b
Where R = Range; M = Mass; a & b are constants.

Page 3 of 15
 In other words, a megalith has a larger aura than a grain of sand.
8. An aura’s outer arms comprise a series of conical shaped spirals.
9. These arms seem to extend to infinity.
10. The separation distances between adjacent spirals also form an Arithmetic Series.
11. The spirals are Type 3 Fields. (Reference 1, chapter 13).
12. Finally, natural every-day objects, untouched by humans, do not posses Type 4
fields. (Reference 1, chapter 13).

The following sections compare the above static aura and field properties with those
observed and measured in rotational experiments.

Rotating Solids

If any solid, such as a crystal or stone is spun, even at high speeds, there is no change in
its aura’s dimensions, location, or structure.

• The Aura as described above is not affected by either spinning the object on its
axis or by its rotation in a circle.
• Type 1 boundaries stay the same.
• Type 3 spirals stay the same.

This is counter intuitive, and on the surface seems very strange. The obvious question is
“Why does the aura and its fields appear static when the source is rotating?” This
observation could be most profound, and is discussed further in the Conclusions of this
paper.

Rotating Water
This section moves on from spinning solids to rotating liquids. Unlike solids, liquids can
form vortices. What happens with the simplest and commonest liquid – water? When a
bottle of water is moved vigorously in a circular motion to form a vortex, the range of its
aura is increased. This is illustrated in Figure 2. (Reference 1, page 78)

The aura’s size is an asymptotic relationship to the number of turns of the vortex. In one
experiment the size of the water’s core aura eventually doubled. After 200 turns of a
vortex the core aura increased from 1.5m to 3.0m. It is not just the core aura that
increases. All 7 ellipsoidal fields expand in unison, together with the associated Type 3
spirals. The other interesting finding is that the expanded aura retains its increased size
after spinning stops. These observations only occur for rotating liquids and are discussed
further in the conclusions of this paper.

Rotating Objects and their Fields - general

This section discusses in depth the third category of rotation, where the observer’s intent
is different to the previous experiments. As will become apparent, in general (as opposed
to the special cases discussed above) every property observed and measured relating to
rotational generated fields and auras is different to all the previous results. The following
experiments and findings are numbered to facilitate referencing and comparisons.

1. Spin generates Type 4 fields. An easy experiment to detect Type 4 rotational fields
is to switch on an electric fan. Type 4 fields are not there before the fan is rotating.
2. This Type 4 field can then be compared experimentally to, say, a mind created
floating dowsable line, or mind created energised water. (Reference 1, chapter 12).
This comparison shows that the rotational generated fields are the same as mind
created fields.
3. Type 4 fields are also associated with spiritual concepts such as prayers. They can,
for example, be detected in religious scrolls, altars in active cathedrals, or
worshipped Buddahs.
4. The next simple experiment can be to detect that rotational fields comprise nine
Type 4 field boundaries, and not seven as with static objects.

Page 5 of 15
 5. This experiment can be followed by measuring the separation distances between
the nine boundaries to demonstrate that they form an approximate Geometric series.
An example is given in Figure 3.

Figure 3

As is common when measuring the separation of aura field boundaries, or the turns of a
dowsable spiral, the series are neither a precise Geometric nor Arithmetic progression.
However, it is reassuring that there is usually a clear and consistent indication as to which
of the two series is applicable. As is often the case in science, perturbations appear to
spoil simple relationships. This should be treated in a positive attitude, as it usually leads
to further, deeper understandings.

In the above chart, the expected “constants” have increasing values if the boundaries are
deemed to form an Arithmetic series, but reducing ratios if they are considered to form a
Geometric series. In Figure 3, boundary 1, the core aura, presents the biggest problem.
However, let us see what happens if we attempt to “normalise” or inject a “vorticity
constant”.

Figure 4

Figure 4 illustrates what happens to the measurements in Figure 3 if we move the origin
of the tape measure further back an arbitrary 2 metres from the centre of rotation. The
Arithmetic progression remains the same, but we obtain a good approximation to a
geometric series with a constant of 1.2. A question for future research work is to enquire
“why?”

6. A simple observation establishes that there are no Type 3 fields being generated
from a rotating fan.

7. When the rotation stops, the Type 4 Aura disappears.

8. A very heavy spinning object generates exactly the same Type 4 aura as does the
same sized light object. A rotating object’s Mass is irrelevant to the size of the
created Aura.

9. Simple experiments prove that faster and larger spinning objects produce bigger
auras. Range (R) is a function of revolutions per minute (ω) and radius (r). The
concept of Vorticity is relevant here, where

Vorticity, V = ½ . r2 . ω (i)

Page 7 of 15
Figure 5 plots graphically the results of several experiments involving different
sized spinning objects rotating at different speeds. It is apparent from the graph
that increased Vorticity increases the aura’s Range, (i.e. the size of the Type 4
aura), with a linear relationship of the form:

Range, R = cV + d (ii)
(where c and d are constants, which in this case are 0.056 and 717
respectively).

This relationship has a 0.85 correlation coefficient. This is fairly good, but is not
exceptional.

As always in science, results differ from expectations. Treated positively, this is
usually useful as it demonstrates there are no pre-conceptions affecting the results.
It also leads to discoveries that are more fundamental.

The graph in Figure 5 also highlights some of the challenging idiosyncrasies. For
example, as the spin/vorticity tends to zero the Range of the Type 4 aura should
also tend to zero, as per experimental observations when objects are stopped
spinning. However, it does not. When there is no spin, there is a 0.5 – 0.9m core
aura. i.e. in equation (ii) d should equal zero. There is therefore a Zero anomaly.

It may be useful to examine the components of this graph in an attempt to analyse

this discrepancy.

Figure 6

Figure 6 is a simplified graph of Figure 5 that separates the components of

vorticity by
(a) Increasing the radius but keeping the rpm constant
(b) Increasing the speed of rotation, but keeping the radius constant.

In other words, these graphs illustrate how the Range increases as the radius of
the spinning object is increased, and how the Range increases as the revolutions
per minute are increased.

However, there is still a Zero anomaly. It would be expected that all the curves
should go through the origin. No radius should produce no Type 4 Fields.
However, once again in science, common sense does not prevail! We will return
to this later.

10. Unlike the aura of static solids, rotational auras are not present in all 3 dimensions.
This is easily shown by means of a simple experiment to measure the Range of, say,
the 9th (outer most) field boundary along a horizontal axis of rotation. The
maximum Range is found to be along the axis of rotation (θ = 0°). If the fan is
turned around a vertical axis through 90°, or by laying the fan on its back, (so that
the axis of rotation is vertical, not horizontal), there are no observable Type 4 fields.
In other words there is a zero field at 90° to the axis of rotation (θ = 90°). It would
therefore be expected that a normal cosine relationship exists.

 R = Fn(V) = ½ . r2 . ω . cos θ (iii)

To prove if this is true, a series of readings were taken for different angles of spin
(θ), but keeping r and ω constant in equation (iii). The results appear in Figure 7.
Between 0° and 90° the findings adhere closely to a fourth power relationship
between R and θ with a correlation coefficient of better than 0.99.

The observations do not adhere to the expected Cosine relationship, which is

superimposed in Figure 7. Once again, there is a perturbation effect. This creates a
challenge to determine the cause of the perturbations.

11. To see if this anomaly is a result of a directional background effect, the horizontal
Range was measured through 360°, by keeping both the vertical axis, and the
horizontal axis of rotation constant. Once again, the Range does not adhere to the
expected Cosine relationship, as illustrated in Figure 8.

aura can be obtained by visualising this diagram being spun around this axis of
revolution. It is similar to two back-to-back pears. The aura is not very
symmetrical. Is this due to experimental error, background effects, or are more
perturbations present?

Conclusions
Once again, there is confirmation of the power of using the technique of dowsing in the
scientific study of consciousness. As is apparent, the properties of auras generated by
spinning objects, or rotating liquids, are totally different to auras associated with static
objects. This statement seems to apply to all of the characteristics as elaborated above.

From experiments involving spinning solid objects, the auras produced do not spin with
the associated source object. Conceptually, if a sphere or an ellipsoid is spun, its shape
could appear the same as when static. There may be an element of doubt. However, in
auras the arms of the Type 3 spirals are not spinning with their source object, and remain
static. There can be no confusion about this observation. These arms, therefore, cannot
be physically connected to the source object, even though the latter is creating the
observed aura. And, by inference, the Type 1 ellipsoids are also not physically connected
to the source object producing them. The implied conclusion is that the auras we
perceive are not physically there – “they are all in the mind”.

This is further evidence that supports the theory that auras of physical objects seem to be
a result of matter interacting with a universal field. The latter concept has numerous
names ranging from the Akashic Record from thousands of years ago, to the Zero Point
Field, the Information Field, or more recently, the Cosmic Internet. Whether physical
matter is spinning or not, does not seem to change the quantum phase interference
patterns that matter would appear to generate in the Information Field. Are we looking
for the mechanism that produces auras, which also has the property of being invariant to
rotation? i.e. a mathematical transformation of axes that is invariant to rotation.

Experimental results suggest that rotation affects liquids differently to solids. For
example, unlike solids, liquids retain their enlarged auras resulting from spinning. Why?
The most tempting reason is because of the vortices created. After the macro and visible
effect of these vortices has subsided due to friction and viscosity, these vortices seem to
leave a permanent effect at the micro level. It would appear that a permanent impression
is left on the molecular vibrational or spin states of the water molecules, that in turn

Page 13 of 15
enlarges auras. Once again, there is a strong hint that vorticity has its own special
relationship with the Information Field.

The preference for arithmetic series in Type 1 fields (associated with physical bodies),
and for geometric series in Type 4 fields (associated with mind and vortex generated
activities) is consistent with other reported general observations and laboratory
experiments.

Non-adherence to a simple cosine relationship for the angular pattern of a rotationally

generated field is possibly because the perceived radiated field pattern is not emanating
from a single source, even though physically the source is a single rotating object.
Allowing for experimental error, the 3-dimensional polar diagram of rotational generated
Type 4 fields is very similar to the radiation pattern associated with a dipole antenna,
which possibly has a separation distance of a half wavelength. Further theoretical
research is justified as this connection could lead to a fundamental discovery.

Mind generated fields (which would include prayers) have similar properties to
rotationally generated fields. Experiments with Tibetan Spinning Prayer Wheels
reinforce this view. These prayer wheels comprise a cylinder holding an inserted written
prayer. The cylinder can be made to rotate on a spindle attached to a handle, assisted by
a swinging chain and weight attached to the cylinder. Typically, the Type 4 field
emanating from the prayer when static extends for about 0.5 metres. When spun the field
extends to several metres.

The implication of this research is that consciousness, intent, the mechanism of dowsing,
and the associated phenomena of remote viewing, healing etc are all linked to vorticity
and the structure of the universe. This paper therefore adds yet more evidence of the
commonality between the structure of the universe, geometry in general and polyhedral
and vortex structures in particular, and how all of these link in with connectivity and
consciousness. We are indeed living in exciting times. This conclusion suggests that
further research is warranted.

Further Research
The following are suggested areas of future research.

1) Perturbations
i) Why should a 2m vorticity constant give a perceived improved geometric
constant?
ii) Why is there a zero calibration error when measuring vorticity and the size of
the associated aura?
iii) Why is there a zero error when measuring vorticity and radius?
iv) Why is there a discrepancy in the cosine relationship and angle of spin? Is the
fourth power relationship in Figure 7 the same as would be expected from a
field radiated by a dipole antenna?

Page 14 of 15
 2) Rotation of Earth
i) What effect, if any, does the Earth’s rotation have on the above experimental
results?
3) Tibetan Spinning Prayer Wheels
i) What is the connection between Tibetan Spinning Prayer Wheels, Type 4
fields, vorticity, and the Information Field theory? Is there any measurable
difference between spinning the wheel clockwise, as opposed to the preferred
traditional anti-clockwise motion?
4) Dipoles
Whether an analogy of fields associated with antenna and dipoles is useful in
finding a theoretical explanation for the perceived rotational generated fields
observed in this paper.

As always in research, there are more queries than answers!
