Through the Back Door! by Jim Kuebelbeck Some time ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at the Archaeus Project Research Group at the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis. The Bakken Museum was founded by the late Earl Bakken, the inventor of the world-famous heart pacemaker. His goal was to establish a research center for the continuing development of medical and other innovative concepts. Researchers from all over the world were regularly invited to speak and present the results of their ongoing discoveries. The topics were varied, and ranged from medical research, to puzzling discoveries in psychic abilities, to unusual phenomena and the “paranormal”. The Archaeus Project was formed in 1983 as a small discussion group which met monthly at the home of Earl Bakken. The group was soon joined by Dennis Stillings, a researcher in his own right, who had earlier built the collections of arti- facts at the museum. The Bakken Museum is now a renowned library of material focusing on the subject of “electricity in life”. Stillings went on to become the director of the Archaeus Research Project. In a relatively short time, under his direction, the size and activities of the group expanded. A speaker program was developed which involved inviting some eight or nine speakers a year to present on a very wide range of topics related to human potential. The main requirement for speakers was they be one of the best representatives of the particular topic on which they were invited to speak. The Archaeus Project took no official position on the subject matter; but required it be an open forum to discuss ideas and theories, however controversial. The purpose of the group was to discuss, and attempt to assess the claims arising out of the emerging “Human Potential” movement. The group included professionals with impressive backgrounds in science, technology, business, medicine, and the humanities. In addition to these activities, Stillings was given free reign to investigate the growing world of research. Stillings had read newspaper articles about my successful locating of under- ground water sources (by the dowsing method) in areas where all previous attempts had failed, and invited me to speak to researchers at the Bakken Museum about my work and my theories about the little understood practice of dowsing, and water dowsing in particular. On the evening of my talk, I spoke at length about my work and the resistance I often encountered from geologists and hydrogeologists who refused to accept the possibility that any human could somehow sense the presence of underground water sources. I concluded my talk by asking: “Why is it, that those who know the least seem to have all the answers, while those who know the most have only questions?” Many of the researchers in the audience came up to me after my talk and stated they also had often encountered great resistance in their early research by daring to challenge long-held views about “established science”. Albert Einstein was once quoted as saying, “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” I don't consider myself a great spirit by any stretch of the imagination, but I no longer pay much attention to those who attempt to deny the value of water dowsing as a legiti- mate method of locating satisfactory groundwater sources. The statements and comments in this article are based on information and references believed to be true and fac- tual.
