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.

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.

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.

This book doesn't contain ANY of the diagrams Ed created to go with the text. It's impossible to understand without them.

I found a copy of them online, and it helped a LOT.

A complete copy of Ed's writings & diagrams can be obtained by calling the Coral Castle cashier at: 305-248-6345

After studying Ed Leedskalnin for a while now, I just had to buy the book. But really for only one reason. To get the original picture of the perpectual motion holder drawing that came with the original pamplet. Instead I recieve a book with a picture of a atom with electrons on the cover. Which anyone one who has studied Leedskalin knows that Mr. Leedskalin did not believe in the existence of Electrons. This was a big disappointment. Other than that the book seems is very interesting and a must read for anyone interested in alternative physics. I do believe though that the publisher should include this picture if they are going to say they print up old and rare books in their entirety.

First of all, this book is an important work. The man that wrote it re-discovered forces that, as yet, cannot be duplicated by anyone else, at least in this century! You will get out of this book what you put into it. At first glance, it's reads like a jumbled bunch of words that mean nothing, but then you would miss the point. This book is not for the casual reader looking for scientific answers to seemingly impossible feats, but it does gives insights into a complex man and his works. This book is in his own words and not perfect english, but is clear enough with re-reading to comprehend the message he is trying to convey.
I enjoyed the book and will study it for years to come. If Ed really did know how the pyramids were built, wouldn't his only work on magnetism deserve more than a cursory reading?

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TRUE REPRINT!!!!
This reprint is not true to the original. It has no Illustrations and has been changed.

To those reviewers who want to attempt to insult the man and denigrate his accomplishments.Bottom line. Until you can explain how he did it, and more importantly, SHOW how he did it, you really show your own ignorance by your condescending commentary. All a degree shows is that you can regurgitate what you were told, like a parrot, and that other parrots agree you do so very well. It does not in any way denote intelligence.
You need to look at the content instead of attempting to belittle the form. In the end, you only make yourself look small. He did it. You CAN'T. NO ONE CAN. Until you can your opinions means nothing.

The confusion with this book involves the fact that the Product Page contains a Seachable book that is WRONG. It shows illustrations within the book, as was originally published. But the version of MAGNETIC CURRENT that is sent to you when ordered has NO illustrations whatever.


If illustrations are a fundamental part of taking in the information (as I have heard) than this printing is a disservice to the author. You are not getting the book he wrote, which is reason enoough to reject this edition.

I've been to Coral Castle and seen part of the generator he built. I brought a magnetometer with me and checked the generator. It still has a substantial magnetic field coming from the magnets. From what I understand there were other items that Ed used that were stolen many years ago under strange circumstances, so what is displayed at the Castle now is only part of the story, not the whole story. Ed was incorrect about a few things though.

If I recall correctly, Ed wrote that "between the poles there is a semi-neutral part where there is not much going in or out", referring to the direction that the magnetic fields travel around a magnet. He was almost right. Felix Bloch discovered that there is a domain between the North and South poles of a magnet. It is called the Bloch Wall. At the direct center of a magnet (between the two poles) there is NO MEASURABLE MAGNETIC FIELD. A brilliant scientist named Albert Roy Davis discovered that the North and South pole energies reverse polarity in the Bloch Wall, in a broken figure eight. He was also the first scientist in the world to discover that magnetic fields SPIN, the North pole in a counterclockwise direction, and the South pole in a clockwise direction. Another discovery of Davis's is that magnetic fields flow in TWO directions, North to South AND South to North, not only one direction.

The diagram on the previous cover of "Magnetic Current" is the old concept of how magnetic fields travel in and around a magnet. It's based on Michael Faraday's experiment to show the magnetic lines of force, and it is WRONG. To see the correct diagram of magnetic energies and a detailed explanation as to how it was discovered read "Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System", by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C. Rawls, Jr. You can also find the diagram if you read an article written by Davis and Rawls titled "The Scope of Biomagnetism", on the web that summarizes some of their discoveries. Ed also wrote that "...on the earth there is no place where the magnets are not going in or out." He's a little off there too. According to Davis and Rawls, "A natural law operates the same, wherever it is found---in the research laboratory, on the earth, the moon, the sun or on some distant star." Therefore, the Bloch Wall is present wherever magnetism exists.

Ed's work is very interesting and is still a mystery, but if you want to learn about magnetism you should read all of the books by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C. Rawls, Jr. I have read them and I've successfully duplicated some of their experiments too. I promise you there is no better source to learn about magnetism. The most technical books (they aren't too technical, though) by Davis and Rawls are "Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System", their first book, and "The Magnetic Blueprint of Life", their fourth book. Here is a quote from their first book. "There have been more books written on magnetism than possibly any other subject in existence today. None offers the desired answers to the natural laws that are offered by actual physical and biological studies of the effects of magnetism on matter or on the living system itself." As you'll see, their discoveries are INCREDIBLE. They're right up there with Tesla's! There is a great interview with Walter Rawls on the blogtalkradio website. Just type "Dr. Walter C. Rawls, Jr." in the search box and you'll find it. Would it interest you to know that Buckminster Fuller, Lao Russell (Walter Russell's wife), Dr. Robert Yerkes, and many other famous scientists took great interest in their work? Many of their discoveries have been verified by scientists at numerous universities around the world. Lockheed Georgia (now Lockheed Martin) successfully tested one of their patented inventions too. And might it interest you to know that Davis and Rawls were "unofficial" consultants to the U.S. government on the use of magnetic energies? Years later the government wanted Dr. Rawls to go to Los Alamos to work for them, but the deal they proposed would have given them control of Davis and Rawls's work, so he declined the offer.
