‘In the spring of the year 1792, William Tuke made thememorable proposition to a meeting of the Society ofFriends held in York, that it should have an institution underits own control, for the care and proper treatment of thosewho ‘laboured under that most afflictive dispensation – theloss of reason’. But the proposition was far from meet-ing, in the first instance, with a cordial response. Some ofthe speakers denied the want of any such institution; othersmaintained that it was entirely out of the province of suchan assembly to enter into a consideration of the subject; andthe greater part manifested (what might naturally have beenexpected) little acquaintance either with the extent to whichinsanity existed, or with the actual condition of the insane.A small number, however, including his eldest son, and thewell-known grammarian, Lindley Murray, warmly seconded theproposal. At the subsequent conferences on the subject muchfresh evidence, which had been collected, was earnestly putforward, and at length the non-contents were satisfied, andallowed the following resolution to be carried: ‘That in caseproper encouragement be given, ground be purchased, and abuilding be erected sufficient to accommodate thirty patients,in an airy situation, and at as short a distance from York asmay be, so as to have the privilege of retirement; and thatthere be a few acres for keeping cows, and for garden groundfor the family, which will afford scope for the patients totake exercise when that may be prudent and suitable’ – aresolution which indicates, very clearly, the enlightened benev-olence of its authors. This was also evinced by the name pro-posed for the establishment – “The Retreat” – by which itwas “intended to convey the idea of what such an institu-tion should be, namely a place in which the unhappy mightobtain a refuge; a quiet haven in which the shattered barkmight find the means of reparation, or of safety’’.’ 19

The Retreat expanded and the community ethos that served William Tuke so well was quick- ly forgotten. Quaker involvement was lim- ited and the institute began to look unrecog- nizable from its early days. Statistics for The Retreat between 1880 and 1884 show that the majority of patients were non-Quaker and suffering from schizo- phrenia and mood dis- orders. Drug therapy was the common pre- scription and over a third of patients had a history of assaulting each other or the staff.

MM: This takes me to another point. Ok, so we want to change, we want to change our patterns, we want to do it. So, suddenly – I read in your book like I read in Plato and the Oracle of Delphos and in the old Greek wisdom, that you have to know yourself. You have to explore yourself and you have to be aware of the things that are happening inside of you.

history and physics of negentropy - implosion in blood How human DNA participates in the broad spectral- implosive - negentropic - phase conjugate pump wave. Summary:1. The recursive braiding golden ratio molecular geometry contrib- utes to the mid range frequency component ( khz- mhz). Probably relates to the so-called psychokinetic measuring ‘BOSON 7’ or ‘Micro -chloridians in the blood’stories. Doing real power spectra of DNA to measure psycho kinesis/evolution is of course a political hot potato.2. The implosive geometry of hydrogen - golden ratio proven orbits - at the DNA ladder rung core, contributes to the very high fre- quency phase conjugate component.3. The low frequency phase conjugate component seems likely to be largely generated by the below 50 hz beautiful harmonic cascades- from the heart/brain during peak experience/coherent emotion/ bliss (much of my life’s work was on this). The EKG harmonic cascade during peak emotion appears to be a linear, octave based harmonic series which, however, seems to move closer to a con- jugate .618 hz (key signature) during love/empathy etc. Whereas the EEG harmonic series, during bliss, psycho kinesis or projec- tive plasma events, appears to take on a beautiful golden ratio: precisely phase conjugate harmonic series (see BLISSTUNER - at goldenmean.info/clinicalintro). In addition what may be even more beautiful, as we discuss in the frequency cascade graphic at the top of this article, the key signature ALPHA EEG frequency seems to lock on to the Schumann resonance (planetary embedding) which is also profoundly phase conjugate to Planck length and time (meaning precisely atomically implosive). 43
