Speaking of his inventions, Forest |
Cheney spoke as follows: Invention |
is the simplest thing in the world. 1t
is so simple that it's perfectly absurd.
All facts that exist may be found
somewhere in the atmosphere around
us, either in their latent form or in
some form that is already perceptible
to ordinary human Consciousness. In
vention is simply the reaching out In
to the invisible and bringing these
facts and combinations of facts forth
into the visible. The magnetic aura
enables this to be done. When | in
vent a thing, never experiment. |
never fuss around with models, or tin
ker with experimental devices First.
1 determine what ! want to accom-
plish. Then find the combination of
facts that will do 1t, already knowing
that what | am searching for exists
For invention is not creation. 1t is
merely putting together, or rearrang-
ing what already exists. | attract
these latent facts, and latent combine
tions through the attractive power of
my aura. This power makes these
facts and combinations fugitive. |
simply reach into the latent and bring
them into the objective"
Forest Cheney is declared to be the
greatest living authority on accous-
tics. He is writing a book on this
subject. Attached to the head of his
/ bed there is dictaphone. A good
share of his new book has been die
tated while lying in bed, and at weird
hours of the night. If one were to
pause at his door, he might hear the
quiet flow of scientific phraseology, in
stead OF the snoring of the tired slum-
berer. as
Late Ia February, he gave the first

members OF the Colonial club and
