The Lost Book; Mikoli Nirishki and his Curious Gold-Finding Device

In an ancient dusty used bookstore, on a forgotten shelf above a section labeled ‘philosophy’, waits a publication that was printed in 1937 and written by Andrew Davis Hutchington. There, with some dusting, one may discover a curious little book, titled ‘Mikoli’s Gold Finding Device’.

Hutchington’s book describes an incredible invention, created by a 14th Century Polish inventor named Mikoli Nirishki, a device known simply as the ‘Gold Finder’. In meticulous detail, Hutchington translates the elaborate instructions that Nirishki had written down for the use of his gold finder, suggesting that the distinct wooden sphere contained something that would interface somehow with the human mind-- when in it’s proper functioning mode-- allowing the user to locate lost or undiscovered gold and treasure.

The 'machine', described as a “heavyish wooden globe with a small round cavity, and having no visible moving parts”, allegedly required a “primer” of real gold, in order to coordinate the needed frequency with the human user’s mind, and then point the user to fabulous lost treasure. 

With Nirishki's instruction, the hopeful operator of this gold finder first had to first tune the mind, and was required to go through a rather extensive meditation regime, coupled with an in-depth study of the hopeful treasure hunter’s own personal self-- training the mind to become a potent conduit for bringing pure consciousness into the physical world without distraction.

If you’ve ever tried becoming a potent conduit for bringing pure consciousness into the physical world without distraction, then you know what a task they had before them.

The Polish inventor was always helpful to anyone who wished to use the machine, as long as they could provide their own gold ‘primer’, he was happy to loan the intense tool to any fortune-seeker who asked. In time, Nirishki noticed that few of the people who borrowed his contraption were willing to look at themselves long enough to engage with the device.

According to Nirishki’s own accounts, there were people who believed in the machine so faithfully that they worked hard for many years to save up enough gold to prime the gold finder, only to abandon the hunt without doing the meditative exercises or soul-searching required to commune with the peculiar ball.

There does seem to be a certain irony in the idea that people would go to work in the real world for a bit of gold so that they could charge Mikoli’s mysterious gadget, in their hopes of finding greater riches. To then develop a keen concentration, and to delve into mind with such vigor as to become a laser beam of pure consciousness-- such work almost sounds harder than just going and getting a real job, and one can’t help but wonder if Mikoli Nirishki was considered a fraud in his day, or a creative genius, or perhaps both.

If Mikoli inspired even one person to teach themselves how to focus consciousness into the world, then his invention becomes priceless. It would neatly serve as a generator of true reality, as the successful apprentice would easily allow consciousness itself to interact with it’s own surrounding creation in an interactive series of acute moments of existence, so to speak. 

If you are hanging around an old book shop and happen to discover that forgotten shelf, be sure to look for ‘Mikoli’s Gold-Finding Device’, as the book is probably quite valuable, especially if you get a chance to read it.
