An intriguing part of the HDR legend is that the machine only constitutes part of the system. The electromagnetic vibration produced by the HDR affects the energy system of the human body, causing it to synchronize with fundamental energy vibrations of the Earth. At certain physical focal points where these several energies merge, portal form either naturally or artificially through the use of the HDR or HyperDimensional Resonator. It's a fascinating idea and possibly could be behind some of the most hotly disputed legends of ancient and modern America. Stories of people who vanished in plain sight of witnesses and were never seen again could be explained as accidental encounters with vortex points, if such things do exist. Most people would believe they do not, but I've had such an experience myself and do entertain this as a serious possibility.

Steven Gibbs says there's a way to create one of these vortex points by building a simple structure

above and below ground. The photo here shows a gateway portal built according to his instructions. Although nothing unusual has happened around it in the several years since we built it, that may be because I have never activated the portal with the HDR. That's a project I hope to do this Spring.

There's some confusion in the HDR literature over the orientation of the gateway -- whether it should face north and south or should face east and west. I see it described in both ways, and because of certain old shamanic practices I know, we were very careful to orient ours east/west. In electromagnetic terms it should make no difference since structures resonate no matter what their orientation to the EM field, but this may not be electromagnetic energy we're trying to work with. So maybe we got it right, and maybe not.

The part of the gateway that exists below ground is an orgone accumulator made of two separate sections of copper pipe. Some designs show these pipes sealed with masking tape at the ends but I used soldered copper caps and the result should be fairly permanent -- at least good enough to last for a decade or two. Again there's considerable argument over whether orgone energy is real or not, but my own experiences would indicate that it is, and I'm fairly sure that the only way to test such technology is to build it.

More advanced versions of the gateway include PVC pipe, wrapped with coils of copper wire in specific patterns and filled with crushed anthracite coal. The illustration here comes from the now archived and inactive website MadScience. Ours is not that advanced, but according to the stories of users, when activated it could affect a surrounding area of about one hundred feet in diameter, as well as opening a direct portal to other time periods. That would be exciting if it did happen, so I was careful to locate the portal over a hundred feet from the house, just in case.

Building the portal was not easy. The timbers are massive (four feet of them is sunk into the ground) and heavy. We didn't own a vehicle that would carry them, and buying them from a local mill was out of our budget range. A helpful thunderstorm tipped a tree over on the worksite and provided enough timbers for the structure. Erecting this beast is one of the scariest things I've done, in retrospect. Setting the top timber in place was a process of stubborn ingenuity and unrepeatable dumb luck and I don't care to do it again. I have acquired considerable respect for the people who created Stonehenge.
