Creatures of Habit

When we first start our work with creating the magical device, it sure seems obvious how simple this is to do.....  Falling arms,  levers strings and weighted parts fill our minds with the same path, that I am sure many have followed, including Bessler himself.   The natural progressions of creative innovation, is not out of the ordinary skill sets of most tinkerers and home brewed craftsmen.  It seems that Bessler would have had such an incredible set of hands and skills that I am still in awe of his prowess, but to be able to build a watch by hand still escapes my comprehension.  I am pretty good with my hands, and have built a business from the skills that my father taught me, in our back shop area where I first picked up a chisel and hammer as we carved a half of an oak log into a soap box derby.  He instilled in me a great appreciation for hand tools and the eyes of a master craftsman.  Dad was a watch maker by trade and his love and appreciation of machines and machinery helped to instill in me the time honored steps of paying the price and doing a good job.   If you don't take the time to do it right the first time you Will have time to do it over.

Bessler talked about how many times he tried and failed.   It reminded me of Thomas Edison and the 10,000 plus attempts that he made trying to figure out how to make a light bulb.  He stated that he never figured out how to make a successful light bulb, he just ran out of things that would not work.  If we can take his lead and not leave a single stone unturned in the garden of our imaginations, we will be successful.  However, it seems that this quest is not for the faint hearted or the person with limited time that can dedicated to the creation of a device that will convert a constant force, such as gravity, into a rotary motion.

There is a line in my favorite song about  having mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice...  and that single look into the human experience       We are all just prisoners here, of our own device.

Normal thinking cannot complete this task.  A systematic attack must be administered with careful notes and drawings.  We must find out what will not work and look for that activity the reveals itself and having a positive action.  Always looking to his words, and works

My thanks to John Collins for his leadership and guidance through his many years of slogging through the trenches to bring us to the eve of 2017, the year filled with so many wonderful things yet to be realized.   God bless us all as well enter this new phase in the evolution of mankind.

Shining through the darkness......

We are all organic.   Built to express the magic of  Life.

Through us,    expression of Life is in our DNA

The unraveling of the beauty of the chain of our DNA was only a dream for a very few

Then, a glimmer of  the magic that it contains.  An unknown connection that exists between all of us

This connection is what make us humans.  

We can think       and dream

Dream of a better world that was not obvious previously.

Now we stand on the threshold a new era in civilization

The energy that we can use to make the world a better place was placed here for our benefit

and now            a few of us can envision the   CRAZY   possibility that we can create a device that will use one the most natural events of our environment,      Gravity,        to create  NO  transform this  source of energy into our servant           wherever it is available.

Bessler was able to uncover this phenomenon      but was not able to find a path to share it with us

So           here we are          visionaries,       dreamers,      and doers.         DOERS.......Makers

Those of us who would risk that fragile pivot of artistic expression,   EGO        to move past the Fear of being ridiculed       for the benefits that are behind the veil........

We must never look back or question our goal        A better place to live for us all

Sawdust       shavings of metal      mixed with our sweat     and sometimes our own blood are the basis of the DNA of this new discovery          I am committed to success and I ask God to bless my hands with his divine guidance

for I am        without a shadow of doubt

BESSLER         clever          creative        gifted        a showman          and   Blessed

The blog season is alive and well, and there is much spirited banter back and forth regarding the most simple of ideas.

A wheel in balance          cannot turn            unless some force is added

I have sat at the edge of my 8 ft wheel and with the twitch of my finger been able to maintain the rotation..... not much input, just a little

the larger wheel, the more power, if the wheel "sees" the excess weight in the right place at the right time  

Thanks again to John for his tireless pursuit and patience with us all
