♡professor Grad's Bizarre bioenergetic Experience Poem by Paul Hartal

♡
Born in Montreal in 1920,
Bernard Grad was a professor of gerontology
at McGill University in Montreal.
A pioneer of cancer research
and an investigator of the ancient healing art of laying on of hands, Bernard gained the title: 'the father of healing research'.

In the 1980s I collaborated with Professor Grad in the investigation of creativity as a source of subtle energy
and we became friends.
Bernard once suggested to me to bring some of my paintings
to his laboratory where he would scientifically demmonstrate
the presence of subtle energy trapped in the art works.

Professor Grad was an extremely sensitive person
concerned with the human condition and the development
of the human race.
He recalled that one summer day,
which looked perfectly normal,
without any actual reason,
he suddenly felt a severe electric shock,
a violent spasm throughout all his body,
as if he put his fingers into an electrical socket.

It was August 6,1945,
the day that the atomic bomb was dropped
on the Japanese city Hiroshima.
Grad's extraordinary bioenergetic experience
is documented in Tom Harpur's book,
'The Uncommon Touch', Toronto: McClelland & Stewart,
1994, page 104
