+ | Amanda Fielding lives in a charming flat looking over London' | ||
+ | companion, Joey Mellen, and their infant son, Rock. She is a successful | ||
+ | painter, and she and Joey have an art gallery in a fashionable street of the | ||
+ | King's Road. Another of her talents is for politics. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the last two General Elections she stood for Parliament in Chelsea, more | ||
+ | than doubling her vote on the second occasion from 49 to 139. It does not | ||
+ | sound like much, but the cause for which she stands is unfamiliar and lacks | ||
+ | obvious appeal. | ||

+ | theory of evolution, the adoption of an upright stance brought certain | ||
+ | benefits to the human race, but it caused the flow of blood through the head | ||
+ | to be limited by gravity, thus reducing the range of human consciousness. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Certain parts of the brain ceased or reduced their functions while others, | ||
+ | particularly those parts relating to speech and reasoning, became emphasized | ||
+ | in compensation. | ||
+ | standing on one's head, jumping from a hot bath into a cold one, or the use of | ||
+ | drugs; but the wider consciousness thus obtained is only temporary. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bart Hughes shared the common goal of mystics and poets in all ages: he wanted | ||
+ | to achieve permanently the higher level of vision, which he associated with an | ||
+ | increased volume of blood in the capillaries of the brain. | ||
+ | of mind he sought was that of childhood. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Babies are born with skulls unsealed, and it is not until one is an adult that | ||
+ | the bony carapace is formed which completely encloses the membranes | ||
+ | surrounding the brain and inhibits their pulsations in response to heartbeats. | ||
+ | In consequence, | ||
+ | perceptions of the child. | ||
+ | neuroses. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To cure these problems, first in himself and then for the whole world, Dr. | ||
+ | Hughes returned his cranium to something like the condition of infancy by | ||
+ | cutting out a small disc of bone with an electric drill. Experiencing | ||
+ | immediate beneficial effects from this operation, he began preaching to anyone | ||
+ | who would listen to the doctrine of trepanation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | By liberating his brain from its total imprisonment in his skull, he claimed | ||
+ | to have restored its pulsations, increased the volume of blood in it and | ||
+ | acquired a more complete, satisfying state of consciousness than grown-up | ||
+ | people normally enjoy. | ||
+ | discovery with horror and rewarded him with a spell in a Dutch lunatic | ||

+ | experiments with LSD, and how he finds out about Bart Hughes.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | The time came when Joey felt he had preached enough and that he now had to | ||
+ | act. He did not agree with Holingshead that the third eye was merely a figure | ||
+ | of speech, believing in its physical attainment through self-trepanation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Support for this can be found in archaeology. | ||
+ | over the world give evidence that their owners were skillfully trepanned | ||
+ | during their lifetimes, and many of these appear to have been of noble or | ||
+ | priestly castes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The medical practice of trepanation was continued up to the present century in | ||
+ | treatment of madness, the hole in the skull being seen as a way of relieving | ||
+ | pressure on the brain or letting out the devils that possessed it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | By his scientific explanation of the reasons for the operation, Bart Hughes | ||
+ | had removed it from the area of superstition, | ||
+ | the second person to perform it on himself in the interest of enlightenment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bart had become a close friend of Amanda Fielding, and they went off to | ||
+ | Amsterdam together while Joey took care of Amanda' | ||
+ | opportunity he had been waiting for to bore a hole in his head. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The most gripping passages in "Bore Hole" describe his various attempts to | ||
+ | complete the operation. | ||
+ | medical curiosity would do well to read no further. | ||
+ | contemplate trepanation for and by themselves, Joey's experiences are a | ||
+ | salutary warning. | ||
+ | has ever recommended people to follow their example by performing their own | ||
+ | operations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For years they have been looking for doctors who would understand their | ||
+ | theories and would agree to trepan volunteer patients as a form of therapy. | ||
+ | Strangely enough, not one member of the medical profession has been converted. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In a surgical store Joey found a trepan instrument, a kind of auger or cork- | ||
+ | screw designed to be worked by hand. It was much cheaper and, Joey felt, more | ||
+ | sensitive than an electric drill. | ||
+ | surrounded by a ring of saw-teeth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The spike was meant to be driven into the skull, holding the trepan steady | ||
+ | until the revolving saw made a groove, after which it could be retracted. | ||
+ | all went well, the saw-band should remove a disc of bone and expose the brain. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Joey's first attempt at self-trepanation was a fiasco. | ||
+ | medical experience, and the needles he had bought for administering a local | ||
+ | anesthetic to the crown of his head proved to be too thin and crumpled up or | ||
+ | broke. | ||
+ | his nerves and set to in earnest. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First he made an incision to the bone, and then applied the trepan to his | ||
+ | bared skull. But the first part of the operation, driving the spike into the | ||
+ | bone, was impossible to accomplish. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Joey described it as like trying to uncork a bottle from the inside. He | ||
+ | realized he needed help and telephoned Bart in Amsterdam, who promised he | ||
+ | would come over and assist at the next operation. | ||
+ | the Home Office, which listed Dr. Hughes as an undesirable visitor to Britain | ||
+ | and barred his entry. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Amanda agreed to take his place. | ||
+ | Joey reopen the wound in his head and, by pressing the trepan with all her | ||
+ | might against his skull, managed to get the spike to take hold and the saw- | ||
+ | teeth to bite. Joey then took over at cranking the saw. Once again he | ||
+ | had swallowed some LSD. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After a long period of sawing, just as he was about to break through, he | ||
+ | suddenly fainted. Amanda called an ambulance and he was taken to hospital, | ||
+ | where horrified doctors told him that he was lucky to be alive and that if he | ||
+ | had drilled a fraction of an inch further he would have killed himself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The psychiatrists took a particular interest in his case, and a group of them | ||
+ | arranged to examine him. Before this could be done, he had to appear in court | ||
+ | on a charge of possessing a small amount of cannabis. | ||
+ | another psychiatrist' | ||
+ | |||
+ | There followed a period of embarrassment as the rumor went round London that | ||
+ | Joey Mellen had trepanned himself, whereas in fact he had failed to do so. As | ||
+ | soon as possible, therefore, he prepared for a third attempt. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Proceeding as before, but now with the benefit of experience, he soon found | ||
+ | the groove from the previous operation and began to saw through the sliver of | ||
+ | bone separating him from enlightenment or, as the doctors had predicted, | ||
+ | instant death. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What followed is best quoted from "Bore Hole". | ||
+ | |||
+ | ' | ||
+ | bubbling. | ||
+ | like air bubbles running under the skull as they were pressed out. I | ||
+ | looked at the trepan and there was a bit of bone in it. At last! On | ||
+ | closer inspection I saw that the disc of bone was much deeper on one side | ||
+ | than on the other. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Obviously the trepan had not been straight and had gone through at one | ||
+ | point only, then the piece of bone had snapped off and come out. I was | ||
+ | reluctant to start drilling again for fear of damaging the brain membranes | ||
+ | with the deeper part while I was cutting through the rest or of breaking | ||
+ | off a splinter. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If only I had an electric drill it would have been so much simpler. Amanda | ||
+ | was sure I was through. | ||
+ | schlurping noises I decided to call it a day. At the time I thought that | ||
+ | any hole would do, no matter what size. I bandaged up my head and cleared | ||
+ | away the mess.' | ||
+ | |||
+ | There was still doubt in his mind as to whether he had really broken through | ||
+ | and, if so, whether the hole was big enough to restore pulsation to his brain. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The operation had left him with a feeling of wellbeing, but he realized that | ||
+ | it could simply be from relief at having ended it. To put the matter beyond | ||
+ | doubt, he decided to bore another hole at a new spot just above the hairline, | ||
+ | this time using an electric drill. | ||
+ | America and Joey did the operation alone. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He applied the drill to his forehead, but after half an hour's work the | ||
+ | electric cable burnt out. Once again he was frustrated. | ||
+ | flat below him was able to repair the instrument and next day he set out to | ||
+ | finish the job. 'This time I was not in any doubt. The drill head went at | ||
+ | least an inch deep through the hole. A great gush of blood followed my | ||
+ | withdrawal of the drill. In the mirror I could see the blood in the hole | ||
+ | rising and falling with the pulsation of the brain.' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The result was all he had hoped for. During the next four hours he felt his | ||
+ | spirits rising higher until he reached a state of freedom and serenity which | ||
+ | he claims, has been with him ever since. | ||
+ | sharing a flat with Amanda, and when she came back from America she | ||
+ | immediately noticed the change in him. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This encouraged her to join him on the mental plane by doing her own | ||
+ | trepanation. The operation was carefully recorded. | ||
+ | camera, and Joey stood by, filming, as she attacked her head with an electric | ||
+ | drill. | ||
+ | white robe. She shaves her head, makes an incision in her head with a scalpel | ||
+ | and calmly starts drilling. | ||
+ | lays aside the drill and with a triumphant smile advances towards Joey and the | ||
+ | camera. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ever since, Joey and Amanda have lived and worked together in harmony. | ||
+ | the business of buying old prints to color and resell, they have progressed to | ||
+ | ownership of the Pigeonhole Gallery and seem reasonably prosperous. | ||
+ | also started a family. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is nothing apparently abnormal about them, and many of their old friends | ||
+ | agree in finding them even more pleasant and contented since their operations. | ||
+ | There is plenty of leisure in their lives, mingled with the kind of activities | ||
+ | they most enjoy. | ||
+ | trepanation. | ||

+ | interested people, showing the film of Amanda' | ||

+ | Vanguard Notes | ||
+ | |||
+ | Several years ago we had come across this information on intentional | ||
+ | trepanning to awaken a more spiritual quality and it got misplaced. | ||
+ | pleasing to find it again because it was of great interest at the time and | ||
+ | led to quite a bit of speculation relating to expanding ' | ||
+ | creating a hole in the Pineal region. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The idea was based on increasing oxidation in certain parts of the brain which | ||
+ | would ' | ||
+ | ability and children often have ' | ||
+ | audible communication with recently deceased loved ones. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is intriguing that babies have a soft spot in the top of their head for | ||
+ | many months before the skull actually closes. | ||
+ | side which allows it to partially expand for the first few years of life. As | ||
+ | the person ages, this expansion ability diminishes, resulting in less blood | ||
+ | flow in certain regions of the brain. | ||
+ | amount of available oxygen to cause desensitizing and atrophy of the affected | ||
+ | brain tissues. | ||
+ | |||
+ | These imaginary friends which children claim to play with are quite possibly | ||
+ | real entities existing on a higher frequency that is visible to an excited, | ||
+ | oxygen-enriched pineal gland. | ||
+ | the first several years of a childs' | ||
+ | flow provides this pineal stimulation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As the child is subjected to the teasing of adults about his imaginary friend, | ||
+ | he learns not to discuss it publicly for fear or ridicule or embarassment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, the combination of ridicule by adults and the childs' | ||
+ | conjunction with the hardening of the skull, causes this unique extra visual | ||
+ | sense to atrophy and become relegated to an imaginary episode in life. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is therefore quite plausible that intentional trepanning in the pineal | ||
+ | region would allow the brain tissue in that area to breathe, following the | ||
+ | pulsations of blood from the heart. | ||
+ | new sensations which would have to be assimilated or ' | ||
+ | perception in a rational, understandable way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The paper I had on this trepannation procedure said once the hole was created, | ||
+ | the blood pressure would cause the exposed brain surface to pulse in and out | ||
+ | of the hole, kind of like an expanding and contracting lung. The writer who | ||
+ | calls himself Lob-Sang Rampa said his third eye (pineal gland) was opened with | ||
+ | a sliver of wood which was made larger over time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The effects of this trepanning are not exactly clear, but it appears to | ||
+ | mollify violent or temperamental outbursts, making the person sociable and | ||
+ | pleasant to be around. | ||
+ | criminals who are repetitive in such behavior? | ||
+ | imagine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Despiccable as mind control and behavior modification techniques are, I think | ||
+ | when people intentionally hurt other people in a violent way and on a regular | ||
+ | basis, they automatically make themselves candidates for such correction | ||
+ | techniques.........................................................>>> | ||
