Horror, Sleaze and Trash.

Ed’s shoes and why your grandma’s bones hurt before it rains.

A man named Ed Leedskalnin built the Coral Castle years ago. He said he understood the secrets of the pyramid builders and did his own same similar feats by himself. He also spoke much about polarity and electromagnetism. He cured his own illnesses via unorthodox methods via their principles.
These were his shoes:

To understand why he did this to his shoes it requires a bit of background explanation of sorts about some principles of nature.
1st principle is that there is a duality to all things. This normally takes as a certain polarity charge. It is easiest to look at this as positive or negative anything, north or south magnetism, acids and bases, positive or negative voltage, male and female. basically something that has an opposite. In all cases to complete a circuit you need both of these things. Without a flow of both of these a circuit can build up a certain polarity charge. Some examples of this are : grounding an electronic circuit(you need to connect things to the earth to prevent a buildup of charges ; washing machine and such are connected to the earth) , sweaters and stuff can build a charge up on people and you will get zapped and it will equalize if you touch metal and get a shock.
2nd principle is that of Current:
Connecting a battery - terminal without the + does nothing. You need both + and - hooked up running against each other in opposite directions in a circuit.
Ed L(who made his own electricity) described electricity as the following diagram :
He is showing that the one polarity of magnetism(dark circle and line) runs against the opposite polarity(the clear dot and lighter colored line). pay no attention to the up and down line with the N and S on it. It just extra in his diagram that I picked to explain the opposite running of the polarity in the wire.
When there is lightning there is also dark lightning. You one see one bolt but there are always two. One comes from the charged - clouds and there is also a + charged bolt that comes from the ground. The positive charged bolt does not give off photons or light.
So this system you need to run a positive - against a +.
That is all for the polarity background that you will need to understand that mans shoes. Next you will need to understand a bit of geometry of polarities quickly.
For this just look at this diagram
of an atom:

(I personally feel this model of the atom is wrong but it explain the geometry of the polarities just fine). The point being, Positive polarity is in the center and negative is around the outside. The actual drawing of this atom doesn’t matter at all, just know positive charge is in the center and the negative charge stuff goes around it. The balancing of these two polarity forces keeps it together and working.
Now look at:

Same thing in terms of charges. The Sun can be thought of as Positive charge and the planets as overall Negative charged objects in this system.  The balancing of these two polarity forces keeps it together and working.

Ok now lets look at the earth:

The earth and its stuff(including us) are normally overall charged negative.
When there becomes too much of a negative charge build up in the clouds there appears a positive charge below. Older people and others are sensitive to this charge and can feel it. Being in this area of positive charge is no good. A person charged up like this will become out of balance and gets sick more often than others. When it rains it releases negative ions that join up to the positive charge and neutralizer it. Your grandmas old trick knee should be feeling better after a storm in theory.
There are all sorts of negative ion generators out commercially. Here is a video about negative ions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PolyPIGRc4I  When people get these it neutralizes a charge on the person. All it is is just once again running the the negative polarity ions towards the positive polarity buildup and creating balanced energy and therefore seemingly health.
Here is a tree

As you can see it is half above ground and half below. A tree gets half its energy from the positive polarity sun and half from the negative polarity Earth. It runs the two opposite polarity energies against each other to create balanced energy and overall health. So the trees negative half is in the air connecting to the suns positive light and the trees positive half is stuck in the earths negative charged ground. These opposite charged parts of the tree in opposite charged parts of the areas draw the energies together.
A person or human being also needs this same stuff. A connection to the ground or earth and one to the sun. We like all the other previous examples need to run the two energies against each other to maintain balance.  An imbalance, as noted by the example of the positive charge build up causing pain, is mostly caused by a build up of a certain charge and just needs to be released or neutralized.
Mainstream science and such is aware of the one side, the sun connection. The sunlight or its positive charge as it is retained in the body is called Vitamin D right now. There is also another charge you must get to maintain balance as a person from the ground. You can honestly just do this by being barefoot on the ground. That is it. If you do this you will balance out the buildup of charge on a person. It works the same way as a circuit does. You have to ground it (connect it to the Earth) to let extra built up and charge neutralize. Without this a person can become out of balance and sick.
Being grounded prevents a buildup of charge on a person. You would have no electrical polarity buildup. This is why people in factories making circuits and stuff are always tethered to a ground to prevent them zapping and damaging an electrical component. Another way to do this is with:

This image is taken from this ebook here : http://www.scribd.com/doc/142476581/EarThing-Book check out page 103 in the pdf. Its pretty good. And if you are too lazy to read it here is an audiobook version here for free .  It is the story of a cable guy who learned about grounding that way to balance cable tv signals without static or noise in them. He eventually connected his bed and stuff to the ground and others did and all sorts of stuff worked out well for them. Their pain went away or at least reduced when this electrical buildup was balanced via grounding. It is not currently accepted widely and in a mainstream light that an Earth ground is beneficial to your health. Elderly should have Earth grounds on their beds to reduce pain. Most of the shoes people wear are rubber soled. This is a electrical insulator. So most people are not taking in this other polarity and maintaining balance. You absorb moon light as it is also negative polarity (it is a 180 phase shift reflection of positive polarity wave). Waterfalls give off negative polarity ions, and going out on a porch during a rainstorm.
Those just neutralize the positive buildup on a person.  But the easiest way is to ground yourself and prevent no polarity buildup.
Think of this.. sunlight is positive charge. Too much of that on your skin destroys you. Too much Positive polarity is what sunburn is. And remember about the plants. The above ground part of plants are negative charged to get the positive light. I think this is how aloe vera works. The above ground portion of the plant is super concentrated negative charge.  That negative charged goop cancels out the inflammation by running the negative charge against the positive and maintaining balance.  In the Earthing book I linked to above, they discuss how the grounding of people reduced inflammation as well.
Now Ed’s shoes..
I feel these should be pretty obvious now why he had them for medical reasons. But the OTHER reason would be for dowsing. He was a known guy who could dowse. Now days people scoff at the idea of dowsing but until this recent generation this was a known real thing. And it is comical because the people that laugh at this stuff still use electricity and have no idea what that is themselves.  Dowsing with a stick is as each as finding a forked stick and pointing its a side with a certain polarity at the ground and trying to watch it move or attract.  This is so so very similar to the circuit guys tethering themselves so their charge buildup doesn’t affect anything. When dowsing some shoes to ground yourself might also wise.
I could do write ups like this every single day on all sorts of subjects if there was any interest. Let me know. or like/reblog it. As always ask any questions as you want.
