INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION
It is now eight years since Dr. Beasley came to me in London
to embark on the course which led him to write this book In that
time much has happened and still is happening in the whole field
of the vibratory body which cannot yet be documented due to
lack of time and lack of finances. Obviously no government
department or large foundation would think it safe to be risking
its name on this scientific borderline stuff called psychotronics,
Supersensonics or radionics. Hence grants are nonexistent and
only the sale of the books can help to defray the cost of
publishing further research. Even the first edition printed and
typeset in Barbados in a cramped, badly designed book without
a color cover sold out on its content matter alone. It was used as
a textbook by many schools investigating new energies and
therefore we have redesigned the book with the able help of Dr.
Robert Massy to become a textbook which has been brought up
to date with recent researches in negative ions, wholistic healing
and biomagnetics.

YOUR ELECTRO-VIBRATORY BODY
INTRODUCTION TO THE FIRST EDITION
When Victor Beasley came to me in 1970 and said that he
was thinking of getting a doctorate under a new program
which would enable him to choose his own field of inquiry,
he asked if I would help him to complete his thesis on
Nuclear Evolution. Inwardly I smiled because of the vastness
of the subject, but I nevertheless encouraged him to seek a
specific area of inquiry in that field, particularly as to how
the emanations of energy at different subtle levels, which are
often called auras, interact with the ability of humans to
communicate with each other. Since the world problems,
peace, political understanding as well as marital and social
understanding, all suffer from the inability of humans to
know from what level of consciousness they are speaking or
seeing, I felt it would be best if I gave Victor a few leads of
people to see, places to go, areas to look into and he would
soon be into the deep waters of our unknown selves. Since
those days he has rigorously limited his field to the graspable
evidence within the reach of anyone who would wish to
investigate and prove for themselves the truth of subtle forces.
To go beyond the immediate measuring devices of science
to a reality which can only be measured by developing new
conceptual comparative skills was a courageous decision
which would leave behind many people who would be
passing judgement on his work. The fact that these energies
are just as real, in spite of our scientific inability to measure
and understand them, can only be tested by those who are
prepared to venture into forbidden territory. The human
authorities which label all these “forbidden areas” are those
which may be afraid of discovering a different kind of Truth
from the one they already know. The ancient sages, through
direct perception, charted many of the kingdoms of nature
which science is slowly rediscovering.
The ancient yogis were both physicists and mathematicians,
but the discovery of consciousness dwarfed these disciplines
as it will again when man wakes up to his real nature.
The seven-layered atom and the causal energies which
witness the material universe through the consciousness of
man was the study of great researchers who were not held
back by the need to publish and report findings, or to establish
credibility through name and fame. They raced so far ahead
of ordinary man’s everyday experience to discover the life
force itself seated at the Center of the observer and witness
of creation. Man is a nucleus and the universe is its expansion
into seven thresholds of energy. Prana, or vital force of life,
is the cause of this expansion. It is often referred to as the
vital breath of the universe or “vayu” in Sanskrit. Prana
maintains the link between the manifest physical body and
the subtle worlds of the spirit. Prana is present in the unconscious
self during sleep as well as in the waking state. In its
expansion from the seed of Self-sense to awareness of the
seven worlds of Being, prana undergoes many modifications
as it passes through the seven chakras in man’s psychophysical
make up. During these modifications, however, it
never changes its true nature. Just as water can appear at
different energy levels to be a gas by the application of heat
energy and to be a solid in the form of ice through extraction
of heat energy and also as a liquid representing 90 percent of
the make up of our physical body, so can prana cause the
expansion and contraction of the normal operation of atoms
and molecules other than water in the human body.
This prana being under the control of consciousness in
advanced adepts and being under the unconscious control of
common folk, manifests whatever is in the ego of a person as
a reflection. If the prana is not flowing evenly through each
of the seven chakras the reflection will be warped and may
not even be visible on the outer limits of the seven thresholds.
We know in physics that every nucleus which is highly
energized has most of its orbits filled with electrons. Man is
no different at the micro-energy level.
The macro-universe in which he exists as a reflection in his
own chakra activity and the energy of his consciousness is
limited or enhanced by the amount of prana which expands
to the seven worlds or contracts to the one physical world.
Or if only two orbits are filled with prana his Being will be
limited to a dualistic world of mind and matter. The
confusions of the thought world and the physical world
cannot be understood nor controlled without getting a
vantage point in other worlds of imagination, intuition, direct
perception, etc., all of which are in turn subject to distortion
and modification by flow of prana through them.
The stilling of the flow of prana through these psychophysical
centers of Being is as difficult as becoming an opera
singer or achieving excellence in other fields such as physics
or art. The reader of these five volumes on the “Supersensitive
Life of Man”, of which Victor Beasley’s is the first introduction,
is encouraged to go step-by-step and persist to the end
even if the going may be intellectually or temperamentally
different. To persist until insight comes is the way of all the
creative seers and originators. Victor Beasley persisted in
personally following up all the leads he was given and now
you too may use his work to investigate deeper and further
into the Secrets of the Supersensitive Life.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
It is doubtful that an individual ever accomplishes anything
really alone. Even if one is without immediate, tangible
assistance on a particular undertaking, one is at least indebted
to all of one’s past experiences — to parents, to relatives, to
friends, to enemies, to teachers, to acquaintances, to successes
and failures, to profundities and frivolities alike — for having
conditioned one for the task of the moment. It has been said,
in fact, that if those of us who live today can see far, then it
is because we stand up on the shoulders of all the generations
of mankind who have preceded us. So it is with the present
work, for not only does it rest upon the shoulders of past
scientific and metaphysical achievements, but is also substantially
fortified by numerous contemporary inputs.
Many persons have given generously of their time and of
themselves that this volume might come into being. From the
very outset, the enthusiasm, encouragement, and criticism
received from various members of my Union Graduate
School Committee, named below, have been outstandingly
supportive:
Credit for the conceptual direction taken by this work must
be shared with an advisor, one trained in both science and
metaphysics, but who prefers to remain anonymous.
Then there are the investigators whom I interviewed for this
project, and others whose counsel and instruction I sought on
particular topics; they are listed in the bibliographic section
Dr. Roy P. Fairfield Core Faculty
Acharya Christopher B. Hills, D.Sc. Adjunct Faculty
Dr. Lloyd S.N. Kunar ” “
Mr. Aurobindo J. Jani ” “
Dr. Lee R. Steiner Student Peer

of this work. In every instance, I was fortunate to have
received the patient and unselfish cooperation of these
persons, and without their willingness to share, this work
would not have been realized in its present form.
Over a period of nearly three years, the many stages of
typing, re-typing and correcting the original manuscript saw
the unstinting efforts, aye labors of love, of three lovely
persons: my wife Sonia, and my friends and colleagues Janet
Naidu and Barbara Taylor. I am further indebted to several
friends and associates for proofreading the many stages
through which this volume has passed and for otherwise
assisting in its preparation.
I extend an additional note of gratitude to my wife who
yielded to my innumerable hours of domestic truancy, thus
allowing me the freedom of unmolested time — without this,
this project could not have been undertaken.

PREFACE
What man does is inextricably conditioned by what man is.
The social affairs of mankind are a consequence, not an
antecedent, of man’s existence as an entity of nature. Thus, it
would seem that a deeper appreciation of human social/
behavioral motivation is not possible without first gaining
fuller comprehension of how man is governed by those
natural forces to which he is subject as a creature within the
Universe’s complex. Accordingly, a fundamental sentiment
which prompts the present work is that the motive forces
behind human social behavior are not fully understood or
dealt with, within the confines of many existing approaches.
The accounts presented in this volume are concerned with
the possible influence which certain radiational or “electrovibratory”
forces might exert upon human behavior. The
term “electro-vibratory” is meant to have a generic application.
We might have substituted in its place the standard term
“electromagnetism,” but electromagnetism, as understood by
science, refers only to a definite spectrum of what is probably
an infinite range of vibrations occurring in nature. Under the
circumstances, to identify as magnetic the varied forces
mentioned in this work, would perhaps be confusing — as
well as misleading — when judged by scientific criteria.
Hence, with an “electro-vibratory” concept, the attempt is to
reflect an identity which is thought to be common to the
different forces, all of whose promulgation is understood to
involve the vibration, oscillation or radiation of energy, and
whose composition, whether at physical or meta-physical
levels of inquiry, is thought to entail charged electrons or
similar particles.
This, then, is a wide interdisciplinary perspective, accomplished
by a review of some of the accepted tenets of the
physical and biological sciences, together with the presentation
of original research findings as maintained by various investigators
in different fields. Also included are reports of
“electro-vibratory” phenomena from the areas of metaphysics
and clairvoyance, where the detection of possible sociobehavioral
causal factors presently lies outside the defined
boundaries of either the physical or the social sciences. A
more critical view, however, suggests that the line of demarcation
between the Physical and the Esoteric is really a
question of how keenly a particular researcher perceives the
phenomenon under his investigation.
Obviously, those radiational phenomena mentioned in this
volume by no means represent the totality of such forces
which could influence human behavior. And even for those
forces which are discussed here, vast areas of research and
understanding remain to be accomplished. Therefore, the
author, governed by the limitations of time, the accessibility
of source materials, and his own understanding, has confined
this inquiry to those areas herein presented.
Thus this work attempts to be an integrative one, as reflected
in the observation of Mr. William O. Judge, Co-founder of the
Theosophical Society, that, “No science is complete which
leaves out any department of nature, whether visible or
invisible” (19, P. 1).
