Vivaxis in The Stelle Group

 

     Vivaxis first became an influence in The Stelle Group in 1981 through Mr. Don Morrow, Malcolm Carnahan’s former supervisor when Malcolm worked for HUD in Chicago. Morrow had been a Colonel in U.S. Army Intelligence in Southeast Asia at a time when the CIA was very interested in investigating Oriental psychic methods of intelligence-gathering and surveillance such as reputedly were being used by the Russians. Morrow excited Malcolm’s enthusiasm in Vivaxis’ dowsing techniques for use in identifying elements and diseases, and Don asked Malcolm to allow him to teach Vivaxis to Stelle participants. This was begun at the Continuum House, and Malcolm began training to become a Vivaxis teacher.

 

     Malcolm asked Richard to become a student free of tuition to help check out the methods and theory of Vivaxis so Richard could give his official approval. The lessons in the beginners‘ course consisted of developing sensitivity to the etheric signatures of various elements which are present in a continuous invisible beam of these etheric vibrations. This beam encircles the planet in a serpentine pattern about 16 feet apart vertically and horizontally through the atmosphere at the Earth’s surface. Richard saw no danger in dowsing these natural phenomena, and he felt it was useful for Stelle members to learn to dowse. It became apparent that Vivaxis students were truly learning to ident­ify the etheric signatures because they were able to agree on the location of such beams penetrating walls and the ground when independently tested.

 

     When Malcolm moved to Dallas, he asked The Stelle Group Board of Trustees for approval to supplement his income as a co-teacher of Vivaxis with Don Morrow. Approval was given, and classes were thereupon conducted at Malcolm’s home. Malcolm spent much of his time in his TSG office practicing Vivaxis. Richard was again invited to be a guest student, and he attended a class with other Stelle and Adelphi members. Meanwhile, Don was complaining of dire interference by a woman from whom he had taken advanced Vivaxis lessons in Canada—a Fran Nixon. Morrow told us that she was very jealous of him because Don was more competent at Vivaxis and was moving beyond her knowledge since he was experimenting with advanced techniques on his own. Don said that she was trying to kill him psychically and that he was having to devote much effort to defend himself and do psychic battle with her. He later announced that he had won and Fran was dead. At a subsequent class he was asked if there was similarity between Vivaxis and witchcraft. His reply was that he had read a book on witchcraft and that it appeared to him that witchcraft is elementary Vivaxis.

 

     Don introduced a more advanced class in Dallas to what he called the “Love Beam,” which was touted to induce health-giving vibrations in a person who faces a specific direction while standing on a spot where that beam emerges from the ground or floor. Apparently this name is a misnomer, because some students who practiced standing on the Love Beam suffered mental confusion and rapidly deteriorating health. Those who complained of ill effects were told to double their time on the beam, but this resulted in worsening conditions. Richard was one of these, and he asked one of his Teachers about this practice when he was soon after contacted by one. Richard reported that his Teacher informed him that the so-called Love Beam has no association with love but rather is a channel that has been used by sorcerers for millennia to communicate with one another. Richard told us his Teacher said that exposing oneself to the Love Beam breached one’s protection from the Brotherhoods. People who stopped the “Love Beam” exercises recovered immediately.

 

     One of the other exercises the Dallas class was taught by Don and Malcolm involved diagnosing diseases by their specific etheric vibrations in anyone at any distance and presumably being able to cure those diseases at a distance by Vivaxis. The class was also being taught that psychic connections between people could be dowsed, and that all the past actions and thoughts of a person could be dowsed by asking the right questions, and that all lies a person may have told could be determined by dowsing the Akashic Record. By this time, Richard already had been objecting to the direction Vivaxis was being taken. Attempts at such divination were counter to the Brotherhoods’ teachings and warnings, since these are activities in which spirit entities can interfere so as to influence the answers. Experiments that Richard and other students con­ducted indicated that the answers obtained in these probings of other persons’ lives were mostly determined by the preconceptions of the questioner. Ethical concern about attempts at such secret probings into the lives of people was also brought into question. Richard complained openly and also privately to Don about these matters, and he quit the class in protest; but the exercises continued to be taught.

 

     Don Morrow had praised Richard’s mental tone as the highest he could find, and Don had long suggested to his students that Richard be tuned into by them to use as their standard to check their own tone. Even by Vivaxis rules, this would constitute a drain on Richard. Don pointed out that the “On Becoming an Initiate” recordings Richard had made were beneficial to listen to because of the soothing timbre of Richard’s voice and his positive vibrational projection. Don had pointed out that Richard’s home and peach tree were free of lead and the other pollutants that he dowsed everywhere else in Dallas. But after Richard objected to the sorcerous kinds of things being added to the Vivaxis courses, Don and Malcolm had only bad things to say about Richard and claimed he had become mentally unbalanced. The other students were asked to scan Richard whenever they could to determine if he was “off his beam” in spite of the class having earlier been instructed that whenever you think of another person, he or she is thrown off their natural beam. Some students objected to this as being harassment of Richard and voiced their ethical concerns.

 

Some time later, Don Morrow came up with exciting news that he had dowsed the identity of the “Brotherhood Guides” of three TSG members in his classes. Don told the three how it is possible to engage in communication with these spirit presences by means of Vivaxis dowsing. Beder Wood was one of the stud­ents Don approached with the offer to be introduced to his “guide,” but Beder flatly refused to have anything to do with it. However, Don successfully introduced his co-teacher, Malcolm, and a woman student in Dallas to their re­spective “Brothers.” In spite of all the warnings passed along by Brotherhood teachings against forming an alliance with spirits (since continuing influence from such connections with spirits cannot be broken, and real Brothers never operate that way), these two people let themselves be swept along by Don into becoming dominated by a spirit. The two recipients of this dubious gift described their experiences at a joint meeting of all the members of TSG and TAO in the Summer of 1986, and they both mentioned that they became uncomfort­able after awhile and ceased to be the initiators of subsequent communications with their presumed Brotherhood Guides.

 

          The Vivaxis classes dissipated after the students used much of their efforts to try to derive gossip items about members and former members of TSG and TAO through Vivaxis techniques. Since almost all their findings were questionable and almost invariably erroneous, interest in Vivaxis simply waned. Hearers of the gossip were simply not interested after awhile.
