VORTEXES APLENTY

 

 

There is always more than this

-Joseph Chilton Pearce-

 

 

 

Without immediate success, I searched the Oregon map trying to fit the vortex around Gold Hill into an isosceles triangle configuration similar to the one in Washington.  I was about to concede Oregon's anomaly as a stand-alone phenomenon, when I got a hit from the ring magnet a little east of Gold Hill.  After some fine tuning, it proved to be another 54-mile vortex abutting Gold Hill's corona line.  It is a positive field with the perceived center near the northern end of Upper Klamath Lake by the town of  Modoc Point.  Both vortexes lay on a true east-west line, rather than a magnetic line.

 

Odd discoveries like this were beginning to make sense to me.  These two vortexes are the same size as those in Washington, and it looked like they must be part of an even larger matrix.  If I were dealing with only magnets without the strange mix of paper maps, then I’d have to say that what I found in Southern Oregon would be at right angles to that which covers Washington. 

This "omnipotent" map view from above would be of the pyramid's apex, so I positioned the big ring magnet on edge halfway between the two positions on the map, which put it at right angles to both.  When I dangled the pendulum magnet in the field that was now orthogonal, or at 90-degrees to the map, it began bouncing on its string in a wildly abnormal way

I’d covered Washington and Oregon for anomalies, so it seemed that California should be next.  Inch-by inch I covered the whole state but came up with nothing, then remembering something on the Oregon map triggered an idea.  Without expectation, I drew a map line from Seattle to Gold Hill then into California, but putting the ring magnet on this line didn’t work either. I Tinkered with the line until it was drawn to the east between the two 54-mile vortexes in Southern Oregon, and from there it plunged straight through Northern California and entered the Pacific Ocean south of San Francisco.  At about the same distance as Seattle is from Gold Hill, about 450 miles, the line from Gold Hill ended in the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of Monterey Bay.  .    

  Monterey Bay is about as perfect a half-circle as one might expect nature to provide.   It‘s almost too perfect, but I plopped the ring magnet offshore, dangled the pendulum and watched it resolutely bounce back and forth.  It looked as though the entire half-moon of Monterey Bay is part of another 54-mile vortex.

In his 1953 edition of, Notes and Data, John Litster wrote that vortexes can be found elsewhere, and claimed an area of approximately 30,000 square miles had been "checked".  He didn't say how this much terrain had been checked, but it looked like Litster and I used a variation of the same method.  He sort of tossed in the name, Monterey Bay, claimed to know  of seven other Gold Hill type vortexes, but didn’t identify them.  Later, I heard that Litster claimed  a vortex existed off Santa Barbara in California’s Channel Islands.  When I heard this I was certain he had located these things using maps, because by then I had already found a 54-mile vortex encompassing San Miguel Island.

Litster was evidently unaware of the anomalies in Washington.  Had he known of the big "Great Pyramid" triangle up there, he would have realized that the Monterey Bay and San Miguel Vortexes form the baseline of another huge 51.43-degree triangle, the apex of which is to the west in the Pacific Ocean.         

In 1941, Litster traveled to Santa Cruz, California on the edge of Monterey Bay to help develop another vortex for public viewing that had just been discovered. It later became famous as the, Mystery Spot.  Litster was probably hired as a consultant as the crooked house at the Mystery Spot is a board-for-board copy of the Oregon Vortex’s slanted shack.  The dimensions of both buildings are the same, and things like a high, narrow table ledge by the front windows has been duplicated even though no one knows what purpose this ledge served for the original assay shack.  These days the main differences are that the Mystery Spot’s crooked house has a partition in the middle of the room with a doorway, and the golf ball ramp is not outside the side window.  The House of Mystery once did have a room partition, and the Mystery Spot shows its uphill ball trick at the front window.

Litster’s influence at the Mystery Spot is found in places outside the shack as well.  In both the Oregon Vortex and the Mystery Spot two concrete slabs, having with the main line of demarcation running between them is where both tours begin, and where I had the experience with the woman who would not shrink.  Even though Litster helped build the shack and locate the best demonstration points, he became upset that the Mystery Spot appropriated his story line, and he threatened to sue over copyright violations.  The differences were settled out of court, and ever since the early 1940’s the two vortexes have been in an arm’s-length competition. 

Legal filings and threats of suits have occurred more than once throughout the history of vortex roadside attractions.  In the early seventies The House of Mystery found itself in serious, close competition.  This new vortex was located about halfway from Gold Hill to Crater Lake, calling themselves, Uncanny Canyon..  The vortex itself was smaller than the one at Gold Hill, but some felt its effects were more powerful.  It had been in business only a couple of years when old timers in the area swear that the then Oregon Vortex owners forced it to close with some creative legal threats.  No one admits to this, but it does make juicy gossip.  

I once thought the Oregon anomaly was the absolute center of the bigger vortex, but that assumption caused problems with many of my measurements.  Some very interesting angles on maps finally revealed the center of the anomaly as a hill just east of the town of Gold Hill from which much early gold had been extracted.  This minor mountain is also called, Gold Hill, and the House of Mystery site is but a satellite on the twenty-seven-mile circumference of the larger vortex four and a half miles from the hill.  Along a short span of Interstate 5 on either side of the town of Gold Hill there are two unknown minor vortexes spun from the existence of the nine-mile diameter vortex surrounding the town.

See Illustration #

The radius of the 54-mile vortex from Gold Hill is 27-miles, and 40-degrees from true north of its center this radius line intersects the circumference line of the 54-mile vortex where Uncanny Canyon used to do business.

Regardless of whether the gossip about Uncanny Canyon being chased out of town is true, their existence as a business was not going to be long lived.  In the early 1970's the Lost Creek Dam on the Rogue River was built downstream of the anomaly, and now the site is part of Lost Creek Lake.

(Ill. #30)

On another twenty-seven and a half mile radius line, plus half of a nine-mile corona, or thirty-one and a half miles from the center of the Monterey Bay Vortex is the California equivalent of Uncanny Canyon; The Mystery spot.

I felt These measurements were uncanny in and of themselves, and it seemed they might help predict the existence of more undiscovered vortexes.  I went back to the Washington map and followed the line running down from Riverside to see where it would go on the other side of Seattle.  If a Mystery Spot vortex can be found mathematically, then there ought be an anomaly where the Riverside line intersects the 170-mile circumference surrounding Seattle.  So, at 31.5 miles southwest from the center of this 54-mile wide vortex there should be another Mystery Spot or Uncanny Canyon, and if so it should be found south of the city of Bremerton, Washington very near Hood’s Canal.  

Ultimately all these configurations on flat maps  must be regarded as spheres.  The big triangle in Washington, and the figure eight in Oregon both make the same size vortex spheres on an even greater scale.  They measure 216-miles across the diameters, have 36-mile coronas, which when doubled to 72-miles make complete vortexes with diameters of 288-miles, and circumferences of 905 miles.

The Gold Hill and Upper Klamath Lake pairs also have twins to the east and west, and together they form a huge vortex the same size as the greater Washington anomaly.  The center of this 216-mile diameter vortex is in the woods just north of highway 140 about halfway between the cities of Medford and Klamath Falls, Oregon.  On a radius of 108-miles, the 679-mile vortex circumference line passes close to the town of Cottage Grove to the north, and provides a stark example of how these things can sometimes be located on maps without magnets.

Roadmaps of mountainous country tend to show topography by default, because road makers follow the easiest routes through the countryside.  On an Oregon road map Interstate-Five betrays some of these vortex lines.   For instance, Gold Hill sits alongside a freeway that runs due east and west, even though it is a north-south highway.  The pavement was laid down to take advantage of the Rogue River Valley, so I-5 takes a sharp turn west just above Medford and doesn't turn north until the city of Grant's Pass.  Highway 140, though it doesn't connect with I-5, follows this same east-west line across the mountains to Klamath Falls.  Both highways, with occasional wiggles, line up with Modoc Point on Upper Klamath Lake.

North of Grant's Pass, I-5 turns northeast at Stage Pass, and runs straight for about seven miles until it turns north again at Azalea.  Nine miles north at Canyonville, the road jogs slightly northwest until it finds its northbound track on the way toward Eugene.  Azalea is 27-miles as the crow flies from Gold Hill, and the highway from there to Stage Pass follows the curve of the vortex, until it cuts back toward Canyonville nine miles away.  Nine miles, of course, is the width of the corona.

Fifty-five miles further north near the little town of Curtin, I-5 makes a northeasterly jog to Cottage Grove, where it cuts due north to make another little dip into Eugene 18 miles later.  A small part of the circumference line of 679-miles passes from Curtin to Cottage Grove, and the 18-mile jog toward Eugene is exactly twice as long as the 9-mile identical jog from Azalea to Canyonville.

Vortexes affect terrain.  It's not the other way around.   

I've heard of dozens of other vortexes from visitors to The House of Mystery.  North of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Canada is supposedly an old barn where one can witness the same effects.  There are many real vortexes, but the fakes; like the ones at Knotts Berry Farm, Calico Ghost Town near Barstow, CA, or Hoss’s Haunted Mine in the Bonanza replica ranch at Incline Village near Lake Tahoe seem more numerous. But the most repeated story has to be one of the most amazing simply because it is so often repeated. 

A huge number of people from widely divergent places have shared with me the story of "Gravity Hill", or "Magnetic Hill".  It goes like this:  "There's this stop sign at the bottom of a hill.  While stopped, if you put your car into neutral it will roll backwards up the hill."   

Oregon has some these places.  California has four or five.  New Jersey has two, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Arizona, Alberta, Ontario, Georgia and many other places each have at least one.  The most famous is one called Spook Hill near Lake Wales, Florida. 

One day a man told me about Gravity Hill in Ogden, Utah, and even gave me instructions on how to find it. 

One hour later another man said, "You know, we have this place in Utah called Gravity Hill where cars roll uphill."

"Yeah, I know," I answered laconically, "it's in Ogden."

"Oh no," he quickly corrected.  "It's in Salt Lake."  He then told me how to get there.

Another day a man with an odd accent began telling me of a place near where he lived called, Magnetic Hill.

"Where do you live?" I interrupted.

"Jerusalem," He answered.

I've since had two others who’ve been to Jerusalem tell me the same story.  Evidently, cab drivers delight  in showing it off.

I thought for a long time these were no more than apocryphal stories generated by crooked landscapes.  Cars, like golf balls, do not really roll uphill, yet there are many people who swear they've seen it happen.  A voice on the  phone at the House of Mystery asks, "Is this the place where boulders roll uphill?"

I was sure there are no real Magnetic Hills, but then I stumbled across one just south of the city of Grants Pass, Oregon.  My car facing one way on this piece of road appeared to be parked on level ground, but when I lifted my foot from the brake it started rolling ahead.  I set the emergency brake, got out and looked back toward a stop sign a couple of hundred feet behind the car.  The road had an unmistakable 3 or 4-degree uphill slant!

There seems to be no shortages of real vortexes, inside of which reality is felt and perceived differently than outside.  Positioning, and even the names of some of these places, though, strains credulity.  For instance, if we follow that line from Gold Hill to Uncanny Canyon, an angle of 40-degrees from true north, across the southeast corner of Washington, diagonally through Idaho, and into Western Montana we find that it terminates near a whistle-stop town called Hungry Horse.   

Outside of Hungry Horse, Montana there is a roadside attraction called, The House of Mystery.  It’s a real vortex with a crooked shack.  I don't know if the name choice was deliberate plagiarism, but contrary to their litigious reputation the owners of Oregon’s House of Mystery haven’t yet filed legal papers against Montana’s House of Mystery.  About ten miles west of the north entrance to Glacier National Park, the Hungry Horse House of mystery is about the same distance from Seattle, as Seattle is from the Oregon House of Mystery.

It became impossible not to notice that these places were lined up on geometric lines making square grids.  But not all of them.

Right off Highway 101 about an hour’s drive south of Eureka, California is a real roadside vortex known as, Confusion Hill.  It too has a crooked house, but not a perfect copy of the others.  It also has other entertainment; a miniature train ride through the Redwood forest to the top of a nearby hill and back.  The shack and vortex are on a rather steep hill and is difficult to measure, but it is a small anomaly, perhaps no more than sixty feet or so.  Of all the vortexes I’ve visited it seems the most “friendly”.

To me, the Mystery Spot has a heavy feel to it, and then there is that standing joke about tour guides falling apart after a few years on the job.  When roaming the Mystery Spot’s grounds my tinnitis, contracted on the apple farm got worse by double.

The Oregon Vortex, which has places within its boundaries that are beneficial also has places that I instinctively avoided.  For instance, the outer corona line runs directly between anyone working the admittance window and the cash register.  This spot is also right next to the western point of that big pyramid Triangle where Litster could have set up a demonstration platform.  Some people when asked to step one foot into this 38-inch spot said it felt “soft”, as if the floor was going to give way.  Whenever I sat in the chair at the window my knees just across the line would go cold.  Many times I found I had unconsciously backed the chair on its casters into a corner to avoid that line.  When I worked at the Vortex my tinnitis never went away as I had hoped in the beginning, but at times it receded to a far-away whisper.

Litster was supposedly a bit “odd”, hard to get along with, and considering his legal history, may have suffered from a streak of paranoia.  To compliment that story it has been observed by ex employees that some who came after him have shared a certain, to be kind, similar eccentricity.  I don’t regard any of the vortexes to which I’ve been as benign.  They all seem to have an effect of one kind or another on people who spend long periods of time within them.  During my time in the Oregon Vortex, because of these reports and personal observations, I became convinced that the vortex might be able to act as an emotional feedback loop.  It appeared that whatever mental state a person is in while stationed at various places in the site, may be fed into these rotating lines, and then on the way back around reinserted into the person, where the feelings are then enhanced, amplified and fed back into the line only to come back around again and again.

I began to notice that if a tour guide came to work in a bad mood, he or she left in a worse mood, and the obverse was true.  For some, many days seemed to be emotionally dependant on how the day began, so the phenomenon wasn’t inherently bad or good.  The person’s own state of mind determined the result.   

  Although any given day might yield a rosy ending, long term exposure apparently hasn’t gone well for some of the longer lasting inhabitants.  Testimony of past observation tends to show that several years of exposure to the various magnetic fields in the Vortex might have an adverse effect on the brain, or other organs.  A person more at home with things medical than me once brought up the idea that the thyroid gland might be affected.  It’s been noticed that denial of iodine to the brain can cause short term memory lose, which then can lead to symptoms of paranoia.

I need to reiterate that these sorts of health problems are developed over long periods of time.  There’s certainly no danger to tourists spending an hour or two at the site, and after only two, seven and a half month tour seasons, I haven’t noticed anything wrong with me.

As I mentioned, the Confusion Hill vortex seemed to me to be the most friendly in this regard.  In only one afternoon while visiting the site the ringing in my ears literally ceased.  The place had what I can only call a light, airy feel about it.  Maybe I enjoyed being inside this vortex simply because the inside of my head was quiet.  Being friendly, however, didn’t protect it from law suits.  

The Confusion Hill vortex was found and developed in 1949 by a man named Hubbard.  It’s probable that he had been to the Oregon Vortex and took some ideas from there to help show off his find along Highway 101, but other than that familiarity he was able to put his attraction together without the help of John Litster.  Maybe that’s why in the early fifties Hubbard was sued by Litster.

I’m not sure why Litster thought only he had a right to display a vortex, even though Confusion Hill was a couple of hundred miles from Gold Hill, but he filed a proprietary right infringement case against Hubbard.  The judge was confused as to what a vortex even was, so he assigned a geologist to check both places.  The expert reported back that he didn’t know what caused the vortex, but what ever it was it was natural.  The judge explained to Litster that one can not own a phenomenon that occurs naturally, and brought down his gavel.

In 1954 it looks like Litster may have once more farmed out his expertise.  The Miner’s Haunted Shack in Knotts Berry Farm was such a perfect a copy of the assay shack that it’s hard to think that Knotts duplicated it without paying for protection from something like a law suit.  Perhaps, since there is no vortex anywhere near Buena Vista, California, Litster felt comfortable in helping them build the slanted shack on its concrete hill.  In fact, tour guides at the House of Mystery were told to mention The Haunted shack, and to point out that it was a fake. 

Recently, mention of The Miner’s Haunted Shack was rendered mute when Knott’s Berry Farm yielded to the American Disabilities Act and took out their slanted attraction.

A frequent question I got on tours at the Oregon Vortex referenced a roadside attraction in the Black Hills of South Dakota, a few miles from Mount Rushmore, called Cosmos.  Most wanted to know if it displayed a real vortex or if it was just another phony, crooked shack.  Not ever having been there I had no means to check other than to question folks who had visited the attraction, and was unable to fit it into the grid to which other vortexes conformed.  By the time I was finally able to make a trip to the Black Hills I was convinced that Cosmos is a fake.

What I saw, however, was disconcerting, almost disappointing.  By the time of this visit I had learned enough about the electromagnetic properties of vortexes to be able duplicate their distortion effects on the space-time fabric, and it was my intention, if Cosmos was fake, to sell them the real McCoy.  A problem with my intent showed up instantly on the first demonstration. The guide, a friendly young woman by the name of Ann, at a pair of eerily familiar concrete platforms, effectively shrank two folks right out in the bright sunshine.  Cosmos, is real!

After the tour I convinced Ann to take me back into the affected area so I could do some tests, and quickly found two active spots that the owners of Cosmos do not know about; at least they don’t display these spots to tourists.  By this time I had been more than an hour in the area and suddenly realized that just like when at Confusion Hill, the ringing in my ears had stopped .  Cosmos seemed friendly.

As I poked around, something else about Cosmos became evident.  The place is laid out, and the tours are conducted just like at The Mystery Spot at Santa Cruz.  I asked Ann how long the place had been in existence, but she didn’t know.  Even the word vortex as applied to Cosmos was foreign to her.  The tour takes only a half hour, which is about the same as the Mystery Spot, and about twenty minutes of this is taken up showing off the optical illusions in the crooked shack.  At Cosmos the spatial  distortions of the vortex are shown almost as an afterthought.  Cosmos is under shown.

I later learned that Cosmos has been in existence more than fifty years, and though they don’t admit to knowledge of a man called John Litster the place has his stamp all over it.

The examples of Cosmos and Confusion Hill indicate that a more subtle pattern of linked vortexes exist than just the obvious West Coast anomalies, and it is apparent that the list of real vortexes, and fake shacks can be made much longer. Even so, groups of vortex triangles and circles exist across maps in precise coordinates from each other.  Distance ratios vary because of the Planet's curve, and the farther north these areas are the closer together they get.  Vortexes are everywhere, and indeed, vortexes may be everything there is.

These sites are linked by straight lines and curved.  The straight lines were popularized in the 1920's by one Alfred Watkins, an English beer salesman, who took his divining rods to the English countryside.  He determined that places like Stonehenge, Avebury, and others form lines through Carnak in France and on to Egypt.  He popularized these lines by the name, ley lines. 

Because Watkins’ ley lines were so exact it has been proposed that ancient man must have possessed greater geographical knowledge than they've been given credit for.  My own guess is that ancient man put his monuments where the "lines of the World" cross, rather like our cat, Misha, who sensed them as good places on which to rest and take baths.  Vortexes naturally make ley lines, and they may even influence geography itself.  Ancient man did not need a flying machine in order to line up his monuments.  They may not have even known of other monuments, or that they lined up.

The curved vortex lines were described about 800 years ago by a man who apparently didn't know anything about vortexes, Leonardo Fibonacci, an Italian Mathematician who is known today for a particular set of numbers called the Fibonacci Sequence.  He took the number 1, added to it another number 1, and the 2 thus provided was then added to the last 1.  The resulting 3, he added to the 2, which makes 5, and the sequence continues in this fashion: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and so on.  Some of these numbers seem familiar, and in fact they describe a natural spiral when each number is plotted on straight lines radiating out from a common center on precise angles.

Long before Fibonacci, the Greeks plotted these spirals, not as numbers, but as geometry.  They called it the Golden Spiral, or the Golden rectangle, or the Golden Section, or the Golden Mean.  They seemed stuck on the word Gold, and as we will come to see, it’s a word that in several languages seeps out of the subconscious to get stamped on to the very rocks and dirt of this planet in an amazing, unbelievable fashion.         

The Golden Rectangle can be divided by a line into two parts, one part a square, and the other part a smaller rectangle.  A curving line is drawn from one corner of the square to an opposite corner, and then the next smaller rectangle is divided into another rectangle and square, which supports the next curving line from corner to corner. Continuing in this way from rectangle to square to curving line, so long as there is enough paper to draw it, yields a shape that is found in all kinds of architecture, but also in nature.  Sea creatures such as the Conch or Nautilus shellfish, and other animals like snails produce the most prominent natural objects, although it’s a pattern displayed on the seed head of a sunflower, or the swirl of seed coverings of a pine cone.

With a pyramid, or a vortex, the Fibonacci Sequence produces a Golden Spiral by dividing its base, or diameter by seven finite Fibonacci sections.  The Great Pyramid's base is thirteen square acres, therefore the radius of the base is segmented into thirteen equal spaces whatever its size.  Across the diameter, counting the two center spaces as one, there are 26 points but 25 spaces.  There are 13 concentric circles, and 13 is the seventh number in the sequence.  The twelfth number in the sequence is 144. 

In the same manner that no radius line touches the true axis of the Gold Hill Vortex, the first number 1 is plotted on the number one line, allowing for a center "dead zone".  (At the Vortex, that would be four and a half feet from the axis.)  The second number 1 is located on the same line, but at either 120-degrees, or 90-degrees from the first radius line.  The determining factor of whether to use 120-degrees or 90-degrees is polarity and direction of spin.  

Once the Fibonacci numbers,1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13 are plotted on straight lines of either 90, or 120 degrees of arc, the missing numbers, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12 fall on the intersections of the Fibonacci spiral lines and the concentric ring lines.  Radius lines crossing all three of these points furnish all the angle ratios found in the Great Pyramid and the Gold Hill Vortex, and they do so regardless of whether the spiral was plotted on 120-degree lines, or 90-degree lines.

(Ill. #33, 34, 35, 36)

 

These spirals are easy to diagram, but one aspect of this phenomena is not easy to draw.  I have no idea how to draw a two-dimensional picture of the 142857¥ clockwise negative polarity spin.  Such an illustration may not even be possible.  However, I have constructed a mathematical grid that shows the repeating nature of such an irrational number, and it fits in perfectly with the Fibonacci Sequence as it applies to the Golden Spiral.   The Greeks and Romans came at the same thing from two different directions, and now a Norwegian is going to try and cement them together.

For this feat I need to revisit my allegorical treatment of the story of Moses.  Three times four equals twelve, and three plus four equals seven.  I call this the Nelson Coordinates:

Set up two rows of numbers like this:  

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.  

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. 

Each row has twelve separate numbers.  Counting both rows prepare thirteen vertical spaces so that there are 144, plus 12 spaces in the grid.  Just as in the Fibonacci Sequence, the object is to add only the last two numbers.  For instance, in the last two vertical spaces the two numbers are 4 and 3, so 7 is the next number in the third column.  Then 7 and 3 are added, and the zero from the resulting 10 is dropped, making the next iteration 7 and 1.  All zeros are dropped.  We still live in that nine-based universe.  After ten more columns are filled in with what look like random numbers, the twelfth, and thirteenth rows read: 

8, 7, 6, 5, 8, 7, 6, 5, 8, 7, 6, 5 

8, 7, 6, 8, 7, 6, 8, 7, 6, 8, 7, 6 

In the 8, 7, 6 row where's 4 and 5? In hyperspace?  They add up to nine which is also missing.

When the grid addition is continued, the twenty-fourth, and twenty-fifth rows are the same as the first two rows, 1, 2, 3, 4, three times, and 1, 2, 3, four times.

Every row adds up to either 3, 6, or 9, which is the sequence in the magnetic negative polarity pole, after 142857 has worked its way through the positive pole.

Vortexes are composed of three elements: Concentric rings.  Spiral lines.  Straight lines.  Wherever these lines cross more vortexes are created, and wherever one vortex infringes on another's "space'' reality shimmers into existence.   Each vortex is a finite structure, but part of an infinite number of structures.  Each line of demarcation is reached after seven Fibonacci iterations, but between 12 and 13 numbers, a new, larger sequence is started on the same line as 1 and 1.  The old sequence can be considered the "dead zone" of the bigger vortex swirl, because the infinite number of structures are connected only at the lines of demarcations.  Vortexes are created on the circumference lines of other vortexes, not from their centers.  

Call it a field:  Gravitational, biological, magnetic, planetary, solar, galactic, or universal.  A vortex is pretty much the same boring thing no matter where it's found, but the way they all interact combine to make structures that are infinitely interesting.  Tiny vortexes are electrons that make atoms, which are larger vortexes that make molecules, which are even larger vortexes that become stuff like us, so that perhaps through us electrons can behold themselves.

Vortexes hold each other in place.  For instance, the Seattle Vortex anchors both the Okanogan and Tri City vortexes to an oscillation of no more than the width of their own coronas.  The entire triangle acts like a pendulum with Seattle as the fulcrum point. 

Gold Hill is a different kind of fulcrum point in regards to the Klamath Lake Vortex, which rotates toward and away from Gold Hill much in the same way as the driver pushes and pulls the wheels of an old steam locomotive.   

Once we start looking beyond our world of solid objects, vortexes and the influence of vortexes seem to be everywhere.

There are three linked vortexes on the Giza Plateau, and they have names:  Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren), and Menkaure (Mycerinus).  It's been noticed by others that the configuration on the ground of these three pyramids match exactly the three bright stars that form the Constellation Orion's belt.  If these pyramids, or at least the positions they occupy relative to a true north alignment on the Earth is gauged to the time when Orion's Belt was in a matching celestial position, then either these pyramids, or the marks for their foundations were put on the ground around 10,500 BCE.

Starting with Plato's account of the sinking of Atlantis, legends abound about lost civilizations.  Catastrophes like the story of Noah's Flood, or the loss of a continent called Lemura, have been said by some to have been caused by the Earth tipping erratically, and violently on its axis every now and then.  Suppose one of those lost civilizations figured out how to stop this erratic behavior of the planet, and was able to stabilize the axis tilt to a dependable, pendulum-like 23.4-degrees of arc?  Maybe someone learned how to ballast the Earth's geometry by linking a natural anomaly to a contrived anomaly.  Perhaps together, the three Giza pyramids may cast an influence that reaches around the Planet, and anchors a huge vortex we call the Earth?  I say this, not just because of that 20-degree magnetic north line that crosses the globe from Gold Hill to the Nile Valley, but also because of that which the Oregon Vortex is a part. 

On a map of the west coast of North America, let's center a square representing the base of a big pyramid on Seattle, and align a flat side of this square about 22-degrees off true north.  We'll center another square between Upper Klamath Lake and Medford, Oregon, and align it 20-degrees from true north.  Lastly we'll lay a slightly smaller square at the mouth of Monterey Bay, and position it about 18-degrees from true north.  These alignments are to correct for compass lines to magnetic north, and when this is done, the placement of the squares on a fair-sized chunk of the Continent presents a mirror image of the placement on the ground of those three Egyptian pyramids at Giza.

Seattle is Khufu (Cheops).

The dividing point between Upper Klamath Lake/and Gold Hill is Khafre (Chephren).

Monterey Bay is Menkaure (Mycerinus).

(Ill. #39)

 

The North American group is aligned magnetic north.  The Giza group is aligned true north.  The  North American Group is 20-degrees east of true north, and the Giza group is 20-degrees west of true north.  The two groups are connected by 20-degree lines to the Bermuda Triangle, and the Yucatan Peninsula.  But most importantly they are connected on the line that crosses the North Magnetic Pole between them on great circle route. When we locate the North Magnetic Pole above Hudson's Bay on a globe, then tip the globe so as to look at it from the axis, the North Magnetic Pole from the axis measures one-sixth the distance to the equator if the view is considered to be two-dimensional.  The corona of the Oregon Vortex is one-sixth the diameter of the vortex itself.

The North Magnetic Pole of the Planet Earth is the equivalent of that big "electron" orbiting the axis of the House of Mystery Vortex!  

There are two differences:  One's a lot bigger than the other, and one's in our space, while the other is in hyperspace.  The measurement ratios are the same right down to the precession of the equinoxes wobble.    

I know that this information is not the kind of fodder found in textbooks, and I would have given up this weirdness long ago if this stuff hadn't just kept falling into place.  One number, angle, or real-world observation after another continued to support the next number, angle, or observation.  I would have been happy with just the knowledge about magnetic fields, but the data flowed over into the idea of greater vortexes.  Every thing dovetails into the other. 

Consider John Lister's measurement of the Vortex's diameter?  He called it 165 feet 4½ inches, or in decimal terms, 165.375 feet.  My own tinkering and math doesn't quite agree.  Once I had wrung everything out, my figure was 165.34375 feet, or about 165 feet 3 11/12 inches.    The difference is only seven-twelfths of an inch. 

Seven-twelfths? 

There is still enough of a skeptic in me to wonder if I subconsciously engineered this result.  I don't think so, but it looks a little pat.

165.34375 feet, off by a few twelfths or not, is a real-world number, and so far as I can tell, those bigger vortexes of 54 miles, with 9-mile coronas are also numbers from the "real world".   But I was still in a quandary, because the two don't seem to connect to anything. One day, while half daydreaming, I was playing a little 7 and 12 bingo with my calculator, when I entered this simple equation:

12 X 165.34375 = 1,984.125

This meant nothing to me.  I let it ride:

12 X 1,984.125 = 23,809.5

This was also a number of no interest, so:

12 X 23,809.5  = 285,714

I remember staring at this result for a long time, repeating the numbers to myself slowly.

2...8...5...7...1...4...?

The result of dividing 7 into 2?  Could it be that 285,714?

I suddenly came awake.  My finger hit the divide sign, and then tapped in the number five thousand two hundred and eighty. 

165.34375 is an expression in feet, and so too is 285,714.  5,280 are the number of feet in a mile.

Breathing hard, I mashed the equal button.

The LCD window of my calculator screamed, 54.1125 miles!

So, defenders of the Metric System, try to match this one.

A direction, and an unlikely destination was beginning to come into the open. 

I backed up the 12 times 12 equation from the smallest known value I had, 165.34375 feet.  When I reached what I thought to be a logical starting point, I moved the entire 12 times 12 equation forward for a series of nine iterations.   Why nine?  Because, in this Universe, as we've been learning, everything starts over after reaching nine.  The results wrung the skeptic out of me for good.

Start at 0.095685033 of a foot.  (A tiny bit   more than an inch.)

1.  12 X .095685033 = 1.1482204 feet

2.  12 X 1.1482204   = 13.778647 feet

3.  12 X 13.778647   = 165.34375 feet

      (Oregon Vortex)

4.  12 X 165.34375   = 1,984.1251 feet

5.  12 X 1,984.1251  = 23,809.501 feet

      (4.51 miles.  Gold Hill Vortex radius)

6.  12 X 23,809.501 = 285,714.1 feet

     (54.1125 miles.  Large Gold Hill Vortex)

7.  12 X 285,714.1   = 3,428,568.1 feet

      (649.35 miles)

8.  12 X 3,428,568.1 = 41,142,817 feet

      (7,792.2 miles)

Before going to the ninth iteration, I want to discuss numbers 7 and 8.  649.35 miles plus a 109-mile corona on both sides is the total diameter of the Bermuda Triangle.  Ivan Sanderson and others determined this as fact long before I started playing with a calculator.

Number 8 was not unexpected.  It seems this 6 sextillion, 388 quintillion short ton planet of ours measures 7,926 miles across its diameter, and after subtracting an equatorial bulge due to centrifugal spin, 7,792 miles is at least close enough for government work. 

9.  12 X 7,792.2 miles = 93,506.4 miles

It was incredibly tempting to change 93 thousand miles to 93 million miles and proclaim the distance from the Earth to the Sun, but there was a more honest way to decipher the meaning of number nine's product. 

93,506 miles is half of 187,012, which is one-sixth of 1,122,072, which should be the diameter of the next higher iteration, which is number 2 on the next series of nine.  The Earth is the nut of Planet Byrd's corona, and like the Bermuda Triangle it slides back and forth while drawing an oblong circle on Byrd's surface.  Just as the Okanogan Vortex has to make two passes to get around once, the Earth is doing the same in relation to Planet Byrd.  We are just like that big "electron" out behind the House of Mystery, slipping in and out of hyperspace, going on and off like a blinking light, and rubbing our bellies while patting our heads.

Flight 19 may have dropped through the last six iterations of reality, and found themselves on a planet we would think of as about thirteen-twelfths of an inch across.  Nothing on Planet Taylor got smaller for them, but from our point of view their airplanes would be significantly smaller than viruses, let alone their bodies.

The deeper I get into these kinds of results the more outlandish examples of what Reason would like to consider as coincidences show up.  One example is the nine-foot dead zone at the Oregon Vortex, and the nine-mile dead zone at the Okanogan Vortex. Another good instance of such a coincidence is that ninth iteration, which caused me to mention a desire to change 93 thousand to 93 million, so as to justify the product of the equation to equal the distance from the Earth to the Sun.  Quite frequently, an actual number measurement will agree with a ratio comparison.  I always wonder if both explanations might be correct?

My habit of celebrating results sometimes prevents me from writing down results.  For instance, after returning home from the 1998 trip to Gold Hill, I realized I had failed to measure the actual size of that gap in the line of demarcation.  I remembered it looked to be less than two-feet, and was maybe a foot and a half, and I was mad at myself because I really wanted to know the actual distance. 

I tried various mathematical solutions using the measurements I had, such as Litster's 165.375 diameter calculation.  After multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting that measurement in every way I could think of, it always boiled down to the corona, which left me with either Litster's number, 27.5625 feet, or my number, 27.114582 feet.   

The next thing I did with both numbers was to apply my old half-way-to-infinity rule of dividing a number by 2.  After four iterations, I ended up with a number that translated to 19.25 inches, or to 19.137 inches.  I rounded them off to 19, and decided to keep it.  The result looked even better when I finally reread Notes and Data, and became reacquainted with Lister's expansion and contraction of 19-inches.  Later, after learning the gap I discovered opened and closed, I decided I had simply rediscovered Litster's expansion and contraction point.

While fiddling with other sets of numbers that sometimes made sense and sometimes didn't, I kept running across that same 19, to 19.5 result.  If there is a number that doesn't appear to have any direct connection to pyramids, it's 19, but whether it's an actual distance measurement or a comparison ratio, it keeps popping up in vortex measurements.

At the end of March, 2000 a man by the name of Igor Shnaper was on one of my tours through the House of Mystery.  I mentioned to the group that the fall of gravity should be about ten per cent less inside the Vortex than outside.  Mr. Shnaper said he would be happy to do the calculations to prove or disprove this contention.  

To be frank, I had never known the correctness of this assertion regarding the fall of gravity in the area, and had no idea how he might prove it.  After the tour broke up, I took him back into House where a brass plumb bob hangs on a string from a rafter.  He measured the length of the string, and then allowed the plumb bob to swing.  He counted ten swings, timing them with the second hand of a watch.

He thanked me, said he would take the observations home, do the calculations, and send us the results.

Six days later he E-mailed the following:

Period = 2*Pi*Sqrt(l/g),

Where Pi = 3.1415

         Period = 1.9 sec

         l = 2'8" = length of the string

         g = gravitational acceleration

          (normal 9.88 m/sÙ2 or 32 ft/sÙ2)

Inverting the formula

g = l*(pi/Period)Ù2

we are coming up with 8.89 m/sÙ2, or

 29.16 f/sÙ2

Which is about 10% smaller than normal!!!

 

Mr. Shnaper went on with four more lines of calculation to show how he estimated any error in timing the pendulum swings, and then gave his credentials, which included a BS in applied physics from Cornell University, and an MS from Stanford in aerospace.

It was nice to have confirmation of something I'd been telling folks on the tours, but I was also interested to learn that the two-foot eight-inch string we used to hang the plumb bob provided a ten-swing period of 19 seconds!

Coincidences like this were becoming a bit disconcerting, but none more so than some off-the-wall-measuring I did on my little six-inch globe one day. 

The Giza Plateau, and the center of the Bermuda Triangle are both on the same latitude line, 30-degrees of arc.  The Tropic of Cancer is naturally at Latitude 23½ degrees.  Suppose, I wondered, if a line parallel to the axis was drawn up from the equator, how far would 30-degrees on the Earth's curvature be measured from that perpendicular line?  I cut a piece of cardboard so as to square my little globe, and then measured over to the 30-degree latitude line.

The gap was five-sixteenths of an inch.  My globe is six inches in diameter, or 96 sixteenths.  By dividing 5 into 96 I was left staring at 19.2 segments of five-sixteenths across the diameter of the Earth!

Does, I wondered, any of this have to do with the investigator?  Am I making this stuff up?   Do I dare put any of this in print, and hope at the same time to be taken seriously?  Should I tell the folks the rest?

It's comforting to know the center of the Bermuda Triangle is six plus degrees above the Tropic of Cancer.  If it was in the Southern Hemisphere and below the Tropic of Capricorn, and then someone found out I was born in January...? 

To make matters worse, where would my credibility be when it was discovered I was born January 19th?

Since Litster’s time the 20-degree compass declination at Gold Hill, Oregon has been corrected to 19.5-degrees.

At least I was too young back in December of 1945 to blame for assigning the "Lost Patrol" its flight number of ...19!
