Chile and Argentina

January of 2008

          Except for the trip to South Africa in early 2006, the Southern Hemisphere had been neglected. Ale and Javi, who live in Santiago, invited me to come to Chile. Ale planned to buy a pickup truck before the end of 2007, and wrote that we could use it to make a circuit from Santiago down to Peru and Bolivia, north again through Argentina up to Tierra del Fuego at the southern end of South America, and then south again to Santiago. Such was the plan, and in September I purchased tickets for the trip. In a tale of struggle and airline fraud too involved to be included here, together with carelessness on my own part, I arrived in Santiago on January 9, six days after setting out from home.

          Flying south out of Los Angeles, I had observed that the sheng canopy had ended just south of the Mexican border, and there appeared no more of it thereafter along the route to Santiago. We hoped to generate a new one as soon as possible. On Thursday the 10th we climbed a hill near where Ale and Javi were living, at the top of which slept a latent vortex of about average strength. Sometime biologist Ale told me that when the sheng qi began to come out of the ground, his eyes observed something like bacteria under a microscope. This first hill was typical of many that we climbed later (with the exception of those in the sandy desert), in that we had to deal with a plethora of burrs and/or thorns. Poor Javi had on only shorts, and due to the high thorn bushes, had to turn back after a rough start.
          Next day pursuing our second vortex, although it was on a higher hill, we were able to follow a trail the greater part of the way, and so made better time. This vortex was somewhat stronger than the first.

          By Saturday morning, the canopy had already formed over Santiago, and it was now time to commence our road trip. Since we were setting out a week later than originally planned, we reluctantly decided to omit Peru and Bolivia from our itinerary. Just after lunch, we set out in a packed pickup. About 50 miles or so north of Chile, we drove out from underneath the sheng canopy . About 40 miles further north we opened up our first latent vortex of the trip on a hill, not far from the highway.
          Several hours before dark, we halted at a shop on a dairy farm, where we ate some quite good cheese empanadas, and not far from there, we left the highway to gift a second vortex. It was on a beach, without public road access, and we had to drive to the northernmost part of the nearest town, and hike an hour or so along sand dunes:

The shadows were now growing long, and after a short rest, we strode vigorously back to the truck.
          After continuing north a short distance along the highway, we turned east on a country road, toward Qualitapia, to stay the night at the home of a certain Lorenzo, a friend of Ale and Javi. This man owned a quartz mine in semi-desert country. We arrived sometime after dark, and Lorenzo invited us inside to eat something, after which he took us out into his yard to show us some quite large crystals. I had not seen any of that size since several years previously, when John Scudamore had showed us one he had buried in one of his fields . There was a presence in each of the stones, and each of them was in need of a bit of help. After the qi-gong treatments, I turned in, wearily laying my sleeping bag out on Lorenzo’s living room floor.

          On Sunday morning the sheng qi was overhead, having caught up with us. Lorenzo took us out a short distance from his house, to show us a really huge 4 ton crystal which he was placing in a special arrangement. Here is the rock with Javi astride, the picture having been taken during a previous visit:

This stone also needed some treatment, after which, with with the hot sun and my lack of condition, I was glad to take a rest.
          Next we drove on to a place on Lorenzo’s property which had been a ceremonial site for the Molle Indians back in the pre-Spanish Inca days. There was a circle of stones, set within a natural amphitheater of hills, open on one end. The stone setup reminded me of the stone circles I had seen in Ireland, Germany and Scandanavia. In every previous case, when I had attempted to renew the function of a stone circle, it had been necessary to undertake some preparatory adjustment of the qi of individual stones -- and this was no exception. Before it had been necessary to reactivate the circular flow of qi through the stone circles: but with this site in Chile, it was the the surrounding circle of hills in which the flow of qi had to be renewed.
          The ground within the stone circle was not level, and so it was difficult to whirl about and avoid being drawn to the downhill side. In my first attempt, I gravitated too close to the edge, the centrifugal force driving me into one of the stones and slightly spraining one wrist. In the second attempt I whirled more slowly, succeeding in maintaining a central position, but after a time grew tired in the hot sun, and had to rest for a couple minutes. Finally in the third attempt came success, and the qi through the hills became alive once again.
          After a short rest, that which had been directing my work moved me to rise and begin a clockwise walk out of the stone circle in an ever-widening spiral towards the surrounding hills. Near As I can recall, it took three circuits before I reached the base of the hills, my progress ending about three quarters of the way up to the top, in a place opposite the opening of the amphitheater.

          The area hereabouts had many vortices, and in this respect reminded me of the land about Sedona, Arizona, and that about Mount Hua in Shaanxi Province in China. We picked what seemed the most accessible latent vortex, which was on a hill several miles away. Lorenzo was able to show us the way to drive somewhere near the base of the hill, whence Ale and I climbed to the top.
          In spite of Javi and Ale buying me a good local hat, I had a bit more sun than was good for me that day, and picked up an unbecoming sunburn. Javi loaned me some of her sunburn lotion, which I liberally applied to my cracked lips. While dozing in the car as we made our way north, the lotion combined with saliva dribbled down my chin, creating a rather singular imbecilic look. Of course Javi captured this on film, and it is in the interest of suppression of publication, that the characters of my companions are treated with consideration throughout the present report.

          That night we stopped in Punta de Choros, at a little inn belonging to another friend of Ale und Javi, whom they called Dogui. On Monday morning Doqui took us (along with other tourists) out on his boat to see the dolphins and sea lions. I had seen many of the latter in caves along the Oregon Coast, but this was my first opportunity to meet dolphins in the wild: they are quite charming.

We halted for a few minutes on an island having a good latent vortex, but the boat did not pause long enough for us to make a trip to reach it, so we had to be content with an alternative one, situated on a point of the mainland.
          The sheng canopy had once more caught up with us. It remained overhead throughout the day, and continuing north, we stopped to gift latent vortices from time to time.

          On Tuesday we drove through Caldero, and the highway extended along the coast for some way. It being generally easier to reach latent vortices along the coast, we took advantage of this while we could. At Chanarai, the road turned out into the great Atacama Desert, but returned to the sea again at the City of Antofagasta, where on Wednesday morning we paid a short visit to another of Ale and Javi’s friends, planting one of the CBs we had brought along in his front yard:

Further up the coast we stopped at Tocopilla, where we had a contact Fernando, who was also interested in setting up a CB . There had recently been a destructive earthquake in the area, and the site for the CB was in the yard of a place which had been destroyed by the quake, on which the family was now rebuilding. We had forgotten to bring a stabilizer for the CB , but one of the the builders quickly cobbled one together from building scrap.

          The country about Calama and San Pedro inland was said to be special, so we decided to drive east out of Tocopilla.
          Ale is perhaps the best locator of Haarp arrays that I have met. Time and again during the trip, before I had even been able to see a tower, he had seen and identified the typical layout. His passion for gifting them after finding them is ardent. Driving east through the desert, he descried an impressive Haarp array off to the north. It turned out that there was a latent vortex on the way as well, and so he elected to turn off road and drive to the vortex. Fortunately for Javi and me, there were grab bars over the windows in the pickup cab, and we hung on as he wound through gullies and over bumps for five miles or so, stopping at last about halfway up the vortex hill.
          In December, Manfred Hotwagner in Austria had made a discovery: that planting six pipes along a circle in the earth, and placing TBs over the pipes, caused a quite strong concentration of sheng qi to appear in the surrounding area. I reasoned that if this apparatus were turned upside done, it might act somewhat like a CB, attracting sha qi and transmuting it into sheng qi . On this South American trip we had decided to test out these ideas to some extent. We had prepared enough TBs and pipes to make about twenty of these devices, and had been burying the inverted ones at various locations across the Atecamba Desert. The pipes were about a foot long, with the consequence that burying them required a hole about a foot in diameter and 18 inches deep. Thitherto, the hills on which we had gifted vortices, had been too rocky to bury the pipe devices. This one was different: the top of the hill was soft and sandy. And so we decided to experiment.
          After burying the device and retreating down the hill to the pickup, we paused to observe. Normally after a latent vortex is opened, sheng qi begins slowly to emerge from the ground, and begins swirling up into the air describing a curve along an inverted cone -- only gradually does the strength increase until it reaches a more or less constant flow after some hours. In the present instance, there was a strong rush of qi from the sky in a column directly down into the hill. While we sat watching for about five minutes, this flow seemed to pause and renew several times.
          For some time previous to our arrival at the vortex hill, the sky had been overcast from a dense Haarp cloud cover. Now the sky was was as below:

I would have liked to remain and observe for a longer time, but it was getting along toward dark, and we had to be on our way. The only other instance I can recall of qi coming directly down out of the sky into a newly opened vortex, was when Georg and I opened the Magaliesburg vortex in South Africa. Since the vortex hill was within a half-mile or so from the Haarp Array, we decided against proceeding out into the desert any further, but rather to return to the road and observe how the newly opened vortex would affect the towers.
          After getting back onto the highway, the sky looked as follows:

Driving ahead far enough that we could get another view of the Haarp towers, I found that these were now positive. Continuing east, I kept looking back to observe. The qi -action around the vortex was quite strong, stronger than with any vortex I had observed before.

          Next day (Thursday) we drove through a small oasis town Chiu Chiu, which Javi told me had the oldest church in the country.

It was built on two quite pleasant sheng lines , which crossed just at the altar inside. The sheng beings within the church were quite nice as well. We took the route to San Pedro passing through Caspana. On the way, we found a latent vortex on a hill not far from the road. We were now in the Andes proper, and the elevation of that hill was about equal to that of Mount Rainier in my home State of Washington. I found that I could not walk too fast without causing my lungs to labor. We buried another device at the top, but the result was not so sensational as that of the day before.
          We opened one more latent vortex, in the normal way, before reaching San Pedro, where we spent the night. Looking back at sunset, in the direction whence we had come, I found that the sheng qi was especially strong in the direction of the special vortex we had gifted the previous day.

          Early on Friday morning the pass across the Andes was closed, but later it reopened, and we set out for Argentina. Due to extreme elevation, the pickup did not have its usual power. We passed through an area of dense fog, but eventually made it to the border. As we passed through the vicinity of Mount Licanbur, I felt considerable sha qi in the volcano. However, as had been the case the past summer near Mount Etna in Sicily, gifting it did not seem advisable.
          The Argentine police were pleasant to us at the border crossing, which treatment we found during our trip through that country to be rather typical. And it seemed that we were welcomed into Argentina by the high spirits of the sky. Not the strongest proof of that, but perhaps the most visually impressive, was the array of sylphs pictured here:


          It was dark when we reached Jujuy, the first Argentine city of any size. We arrived in a thunder and lightning storm, but it subsided while we ate dinner, and we decided to stay the night. It was high tourist season, and there were no rooms available, so Ale and Javi pitched our tents at a campground. My tent had been purchased in Malaysia more than a year before, and this was the first time it had been out of the box. It performed well up until the time the rain storm recommenced, and even through the first hour thereof. But when the water began to run down the hill in waves, it entered the tent, and the sleeping bag began to feel wet and spongy. I quickly donned my clothes, and beat it to the nearest shelter, which happened to be the bath and shower room for the campground. I spent the next two hours in the mens’ section, accompanied by two sleeping dogs, one of which was apparently visited by ticks. At the first decent hour, I woke up Ale to let me have the truck keys so I could rest more privately.

          Next day we continued eastward, stopping once to gift a latent vortex on a hill close to the highway. After Javi buried the last TB at one of the vortex points, she observed that the birds in the woods there began to chirp. We reached the town of Tucuman at lunch time. We were now travelling south and the sheng canopy , which had followed us over into Argentina from Chile, was extending south as well.
          The arterial we were following had few crossroads. Due to the large size of the farms/ranches in the Pampas, most of the roads coming into the highway were just private driveways. Consequently we had some difficultly accessing latent vortices, but we were able to find a few within walking distance from the side of the road. There was one vortex which seemed ahead and slightly to the right, that we never seemed to reach -- like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow -- and like the the river of qi Hari and I had followed north in Malaysia all the way (almost) to the Thai border. So, my educated guess was that we had another river of qi to deal with. These normally flow within a few hundred yards of the ground, and can can go hundreds, even a thousand or so miles, from their source. This river was flowing from south to north, and since we were headed south, we could at least hope eventually to come to the source.
          We reached the town of Recreo about the time we were ready to halt for the night. Ale had noticed many towers in the town while we were driving in, and there was also a vortex within the city limits. We left the car in a small field, and took a trail that seemed to be leading in the general direction of the vortex. It actually led to one of the cell towers, but the vortex turned out to be on the same hill, and only about 20 or 30 feet away. We opened the vortex, and purposely left alone all the other towers in the town, that we might see what effect, if any, the opened vortex would have on them overnight.

          Sunday morning found all the towers in the town positive, and the tower near the opened vortex radiating sheng qi extremely strongly.
          We still followed the river of qi, gifting whatever latent vortices we could access from the road. One of these was of the type which touch the earth, not just at a few points on the earth’s surface, but in an area extending a mile or more in diameter. Merlina and I run across a similar one along the Russian border of Poland the previous spring, and I had seen another in South Africa heading north from the Kalahari a year before that. These types of vortices, though rare, are usually stronger than average, and this one was no exception.
          We had lunch in Santa Rosa and continued south. About 50 miles north of Bahia Blanca on Route 36, we came upon an anomaly. There was a tower of qi not far from the highway. The qi in the tower was neither moving up nor down, but was visible from some distance. It seemed right to gift it, so Ale drove off the highway to it, and I placed a TB directly on the spot from which it emerged from the ground. We drove back a way, and paused to watch what would occur. Sheng qi began swirling up about the tower, but not in an extended cone vortex -- rather in a very narrow vortex within the confines of the original tower: if anything, the vortex became narrower as it rose, instead of wider. High up, the qi was quite positive: of a degree that normally emanates form a being of high degree, but I don’t believe there was such a being then present.
          We slept in Bahia Blanca, and had outrun the sheng canopy . However this was the last time we were to do so: for the remainder of the trip, the sky was always covered by it.

          On Monday we finally reached the source of the river of qi, not far from the Atlantic Ocean. It was not particularly striking, being in a flat dry field. But shortly after gifting, the flow of qi in the "river" turned from negative to positive.
          Nothing of unusual interest occurred the next few days as we continued south. Near Punta San Juian we gifted a latent vortex, and the towers in the town turned positive the next morning.

          On Thursday evening we reach Punta Arenas, the southernmost city of the world. The ground beneath the city, as well as the ground on the large island of Tierra Del Fuego across the bay, was quite negative. It seemed like an ideal place to test out Manfred’s device. So on Friday morning Ale drove us to outskirts of the city, and we found a secluded spot in the woods where we dug a hole, planted 6 pipes (one foot long and one inch in diameter) in a circle of about 1 foot diameter, placed a TB on top of each pipe with the crystal pointing down into the TB , and filled the hole up again with soil. Four hours later, we returned for a look, and found that the ground below was filled with sheng qi . As we drove back to town, we calculated that this sheng qi in the ground had extended about a mile from the pipes. Unfortunately, I cannot say at present, how far it eventually spread.
          We now began the long journey back north to Santiago, passing back and forth across the Chilean-Argentine border enough times to nearly fill what was left of my passport visa pages. There were much really beautiful country and animals

but for some time not much of interest to write concerning the latent vortices we gifted.

          On Wednesday, eighteen days after we had left Santiago, I noticed that sheng qi had begun to enter the tips of the trees along the road. Javi kept a record of the depth of penetration into the trees from the top versus the distance from Santiago to the north: 3 inches at 421 miles, 1 foot at 360 miles, 2 feet at 311 miles, 3 feet at 249 miles, 6 feet at 121 miles, the last measurement being actually taken on Thursday.

          We had planned to do some experimenting in Santiago before I left for home, but due to Copa Air unexpectedly cancelling my trip home, and me having to make other arrangements to get back to the Palouse, where my wife was coping with heavy snow, I left the following Tuesday, several days earlier than planned.
          We did however do a few experiments, one which impressed me enough that I will mention it here. There is a hill Cerro San Cristobal in the middle of the city, rising about 300 yards from the flat, and on which stands an impressive statue of Saint Christopher. On one peak of the hill though, has been erected a large number of ugly towers: cellular and otherwise. Close to the hill lies a narrow strip of greenbelt, stretching between major thoroughfares, and hosting a famous UN building. The hill and surrounding area, including the greenbelt, was suffused with sha qi .
          On February 2, at about 2PM, we placed six pipes and TBs , just as we had done in the little woods at Punta Arenas on the trip. Several hours later Ale and I drove downtown for a different purpose, and had opportunity to observe the hill. The ground of the hill, from just below the summit about a third of the way down, was now filled with sheng qi .
          The next day about 7:30PM, we all drove between the hill and the greenbelt on the way to the airport. Now the sheng qi reached all the way down the hill, and as far into the ground as I could feel. Furthermore, this effect extended about the hill in a radius of about a mile and a half (including the greenbelt).

          We did not just gift vortices on the trip. As indicated before, largely due to Ale’s enthusiastic and indefatigable efforts, a large number of cellular towers and Haarp Arrays were gifted and turned positive. Javi has described this elsewhere in more detail.
          I must thank both of them for their hospitality and help on this trip, and in particular for the photographs above.

          On the flight back, I stayed awake to see how far the sheng canopy had extended north. Surprisingly, the plane flew continuously under the canopy up to the Mexico/Guatamala border. I am speculating that this may have had something to do with the river of qi. If it did continue far to the north of South America, it might have pulled the sheng canopy north with it. I do not know at present what the situation is in the northeastern part of the continent.
