Do you think they are still doing psychic research in the Czech Republic? Just curious about the Truth to the book, "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain", written by Ostrander and Schroeder. An exerpt from the Book: When Ostrander and Schroeder first saw this collection of Pavlita generators, Robert Pavlita himself was in his mid-fifties, the design director of a Czech textile plant. He had been interested in the subtle use of energies since the twenties. Thirty years of research had taken him into several strange pathways, including a study of Ancient Egypt. Several scenes depicted in tomb paintings and wall engravings intrigued him, as they have intrigued other engineers. A common representation of a priest offering a libation to Osiris, for example shows the track of something emerging from a container and arching upwards over the god's head. A similar scene appears in a tomb at Thebes where the contents of a pot arc over the head of a mummy. Egyptologists routinely assume that what's shown emerging from the container is liquid. Bill Cox points out that, if this was so, the track of the liquid - which remains remarkably consistent in pictures of this sort - defies the laws of gravity, unless the liquid is pressurized.. .and this, given the containers shown, requires a source of energy. But there are doubts about whether liquid really is being depicted. The mummification process used in Egypt was designed to extract all moisture from a body and the last thing a servant would have done was pour liquid on a mummy. If not liquid, then what? Cox speculates that the Egyptians were actually indicating energy tracks or energy fields. Robert Pavlita went further. He decided to see if some of the devices depicted might generate some sort of subtle energy in their own right. {This chapter is headed "Psychotronics Today" and he is on the right track that we have shown hundreds of years or more of a device people like the 99 Lodge and Borgias used. It is called the tepaphone and was probably originally developed from the magic wands of Druids who had the harmonics of the "Lost Chord". We covered this in Hitler vs. Frabato! & The Charm of Making.} It took him a long time to prove his point. He quickly discovered that it was nowhere near enough to create, say, a sculptured ‘ankh' and hope that some sort of energy would manifest automatically. The metal - or, more often, specific combination of metals - proved important and even then the device had to be properly primed in order to be of any use at all. None the less, he persevered, driven by what amounted to an obsession. Eventually he created a device that produced observable results. Pavlita took his machine to Hradec Kralove University near Prague {Spelt Praha or Pranha in some languages and the site of much work by medieval alchemists.} and persuaded a physicist there to put it to the test. The results were so dramatic that, within days, the entire physics department was involved. What Pavlita had carried in was a sealed metal box, through which passed a shaft attached to a small electric motor underneath. When the motor was switched on, the shaft revolved. The only other part of the machine was a small, shaped metal object in one corner of the box. This object wasn't attached to any thing and did not seem to have any function whatsoever. For their tests, the scientists balanced a T-shaped piece of copper on the top of the shaft. When the motor was switched on, the shaft rotated and so, predictably enough, did the T-shaped copper. A high-speed automatic camera kept track of the number of rotations. Pavlita positioned himself about 2 m (6 ft) from the device and stared at it. After a moment, the copper T slowed, and then stopped, even though the motor was still running and the shaft still rotating. As the startled scientists watched dumbfounded, the copper actually began to spin in the opposite direction to the rotating shaft - an apparent impossibility. The test caused a sensation in research circles, but was gracefully marred by misreporting. Almost without exception, scientists assumed that what had been demonstrated was Robert Pavlita's natural ability as a psychokinetic medium - someone capable of exerting a purely mental influence on the physical world. {Of course, science really didn't accept psychokinesis either. The reversing of spin on atomic structure like electrons is key to the high spin atomics in conjunction with 'shem-an-na' stones in Egypt that Laurence Gardner attributes many of the benefits of the Philosopher's Stone to. Included among these benefits is levitation or anti-gravity. There is some question in my mind about the levitation of pyramid stones or other rocks of over 500 Tons and the on again off again nature of the weightlessness. There are other answers we will cover that make more sense to us - that does not disprove the actual performance of what may well have been done. The "White Powder" has been found at a secret manufacturing site of the Egyptians that ties in with the Biblical story of Moses and the 'burning bush'.} But Pavlita was doing nothing of the sort. The small metal shape, forgotten in the corner of the sealed box, was the world's first functioning psychotronic generator - or at least the MODERN world's first functioning psychotronic generator. It was this device that allowed Pavlita to demonstrate his 'impossible effect’.” http://www.raven1.net/psydisc.htm
Only quick observation: University in Hradec Kralove was founded after year 1989. There are only these colleges: pedagogical, management, humanistic studies. No physics or so...
I've never heard baout something like that or about some other "psychic" experiments that took place in CZ. From what I heard the US was greatly involved in this kind of stuff during Cold War.
There was (and still is) Faculty of Medicine at Charles University. Sorry T'om, I doubt it's right. The scientific research in communistic Czechoslovakia was manifold and sometimes very eccentric but always based on traditional conception of science. The only country in Eastern Blok engaged it such things was Soviet Union.

How and why did pavlita become interested in psychotronics? He studied alchemy books and Czechoslovakia had always been a center for the study of alchemy. There is a famous street in Prague where the famous alchemists lived.
Oh, never heard that our country has the most powerful mind-control technologies all over the world. I must ask why do we not take rule over the EU then? Let us cast those bureaucrats down from their golden thrones by our powerful psionic storms and psychokinetic impulses! Let us smash their armies with the sheer power of our enhanced will!! Let us take control over nations of Europe by means of our thought and let us make our former oppressors mindless drones and slaves of our mind!!! :shock:
T'om was mentioning alchemy. I've heard a little about this in history books and tv programs. What is it all about? Sorry to sound so clueless.
Alchemy was something like predecessor of today's science - but of course in context with historical conditions. Nowadays in popular culture are their goals represented mostly as transmutation of common metals into gold and philosopher's stone (which can provide immortality to man) and without doubt there were many of them who were pure charlatans and tricksters. But there were many others, like s Isaac Newton, Tycho de Brahe or Robert Boyle, who contributed to knowledge of humankind and without them, there mayby wouldn't be science as we know it and it's advantages we are use every day. Alchemy was tightly connected with astrology (which today's astronomy evolved from). Czech emperor Rudolf II (July 18, 1552-January 20, 1612) was known for support of alchemy and astrology and he invited many alchemists to Prague ( like Edward Kelley and John Dee). Rudolf gave Prague a mystical reputation that persists in part to this day, with Alchemists' Alley (Zlatá ulička - Gold lane) on the grounds of Prague Castle a popular visiting place.
Well, in occult circles, Prague is said to be a very mystic place. With Vienna and Paris, it figures as the most important place of vampiric legends and so. Alchemy, on the other hand, is, as it was said, a predecessor of modern science, especially chemistry (common etymology is clear). The problem of alchemy is somehow more complicated as I habe been informed recently. The history of alchemy is a long one starting in Dark Ages and continuing through Middle-Ages. This problem is closely related to architecture as particularly the cathedrals in Europe are said to contain vast amount of alchemist symbolism. It appears that alchemist movement was more widespread and influential that one has ever imagined (and there is of course the problem of the conspiration theorists who infer in this matter many ridiculous things).
Zlatá ulička. That is interesting. The art of alchemy, turn things into gold. A fanciful dream. But hey, science is often about disproving theories. Thanks to the alchemists, now we know you can't change other minerals into gold. Not familiar with Philosopher's stone.
