The Integratron

              George Van Tassel built the Integratron with the claim it was capable of rejuvenation, anti-gravity and time travel. This structure was built in Landers, California supposedly following the instructions from visitors of Venus. After George Van Tassel’s death in 1978, it went through multiple ownerships and left in a horrible condition. But in the early 2000’s, the Karl sisters purchased it and restored the Integratron. The sisters now give tours and offer sound baths with quartz bowls in the Integratron.
               Now the most interesting part about the Integratron was Tassel believed this machine could rejuvenate living cells. He also considered it to be a time machine and an anti-gravity device. But yet there have been no evidence of time travel just yet. The most incredible part about the Integratron was the acoustic in the dome. Tassel did not use a single metal screw or nail to build the Integratron but only wood, fiberglass, and concrete. Now if you stood on one side of the dome and another person stood directly across you, the person will think you’re talking into their ears. If you stood in the middle and sang, you can hear your own voice in your ears.
             The Karl sisters now have open the Integratron to the public and offer regular tour with a Sound Bath. The sound bath was considered to be an hour long session where the visitors laid in a circle and just listen to the sound produced by quartz bowls traveling around the dome. It was weird to lay down on a blanket, looking up to the sky as the sound movement around you. The quartz player would use her instrument and gently make a circular motive on the quartz bowl. The sound would grow to be longer and longer and I felt like I could see the sound moving up toward the sky. It was like I was in a trance where the wood grain of the done ceiling started to move. It was a quite an experience where I repeatedly told myself this isn’t real, it can’t be happening. Maybe this is what time traveling was like. Maybe this is what looking at Earth from space looked like. Maybe aliens were taking over my body. Your mental state separated from your body as you listen to this out of the world experience. It’s a very personal experience where it’s nearly impossible to describe to another person what it felt like when I heard the sound through one ear and left through the other ear. My body unconsciously twitched and it was freaky because I couldn’t figure out why did my left feet moved all of a sudden.  When the sound bath came to an end, it did feel like I was rejuvenated and all the negative energy in me was gone.
          It’s an out of the world experience because you’re surrounded by nature with no technology and hear sounds which will refresh and energize our mind. My body did feel energized and rejuvenated after this sound bath.
