Magnetic Current [Paperback]

Edward Leedskalnin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1988

Following is the result of my two years experiment with magnets at Rock Gate, seventeen miles Southwest from Miami, Florida. Between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Latitude and Eightieth and Eighty-first Longitude West. The earth itself is a great big magnet. Now I will tell you what magnetic current is. Magnetic current is the same as electric current is a wrong expression. Really it is not one current, they are two currents, one current is composed of North Pole individual magnets in concentrated streams and the other is composed of South Pole individual magnets in concentrated streams, and they are running one stream against the other stream in whirling, screwlike fashion, and with high speed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to read, but still very interesting, April 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Magnetic Current (Paperback)

Mr. Leedskalnin's book is difficult to read, but one must consider that English was not his native tongue. According to those who knew him, he was very friendly and extremely intelligent, but also entirely secretive about certain things. For example, he claimed to know how the pyramids were built, and he also stated that he knew the secrets of anti-gravity. Of the latter, at least, he proved it by creating Coral Castle near Homestead, Florida -- in the process he managed to lift numerous up-to-30-ton blocks of coral WITHOUT MODERN MACHINERY. (Now that is a wonder.) Perhaps my fascination with this man colors my opinion of him, but I can overlook his misspelled words, et cetera, when I consider his intelligence. (In my own personal life, I happen to have a younger brother who is dyslexic and blind in one eye -- he can barely spell/write -- but he's also one of the most brilliant people I've ever known.) In any case, anyone thinking of reading or purchasing this book needs to prepare for its difficult style of wording. There will be a great deal of reading and re-reading, plus deciphering to be done.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rating depends on reason for reading, June 17, 2004

This review is from: Magnetic Current (Paperback)

I saw a blurb on some scifi show regarding Edward Leedskalnin and his Coral Castle, which prompted me to do more research on the Internet. I was fascinated and curious and I thought I knew what I was getting into when I purchased this book along with "How to Read His Writings" by Marlinski. My complaint is about the reprint and editing of "Magnetic Currents" and not about the content or Ed's writing technique. If you want to try to decode Ed's notebooks, DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION (Reprint by Health Research). They fixed spelling, grammar and did not use the original type fonts - all of which are believed to be clues about his work. They did not use any of the pictures from his original pamphlets, so that part of the puzzle is also missing. I gave it only one star because I could not use it for the reason I purchased it. If you buy this book to learn more about magnetic currents, I'm not sure you'll be too happy, either. Ed is kind of hard to follow, which makes me think there is more to his writing than his words. The Coral Castle website has a Gift Shop where they sell his writings, but I don't know if the booklets are copies of the originals or if they are also selling a "fixed" version.

4.0 out of 5 stars Leedskalnin: secret of magnetics and vibration., November 11, 2000

By 

Miles Dyson (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magnetic Current (Paperback)

Edward Leedskalnin, despite his lack of flare and articulate speech, most definatley has an emense understanding of energy and magnetics. Although he seems to speak in riddle, one can eventually sift out his meaning. If you can overlook the fact that he constantly labels the flow of electons as "magnets", you can surely and eventually understand his meanings. This may be a hard read but beleive me his knowledge is sound. You need only rotate a perfectly balanced- 30ton block of solid coral (Coral Castle) with your finger tip to realize his principles converge to sound knowledge and principle. Leedskalnin doesn't reach any conlusions, however, he does press upon the reader to understand his principles so that you may form a strong foundation and understanding of magnetics and even vibration. To what end? Anti-gravity of coarse.
