Wind Sucking Sequence:
The Earth "is then, very clearly to us, a place in the Universe where energies are being collected and impounded and put away. Apparently, then, as we would have in our weather, there are low pressures and high pressures. We have discovered of course that the high pressures don’t blow the wind from here to there. It’s the low pressures that suck the air from here to there.
“You know, I’ve found that you can’t push air any distance at all. The minute you push it it turns right around-- and stuff like this. But you can pull it over enormous distances. You can’t push the air through the house, but you can pull the air through the house. Open the front door and open all the windows and all the doors inside and have a fan exhausting. . . Anybody got a piece of fabric? Just hand me quick a piece of fabric. Because you can just take a handkerchief and put your fingers like that and find out how you can pull it. It pulls around corners. You can pull it around the windows and the doors. You can’t push it around those corners at all, but tension will pull it. So tension can pull the air over enormous distances.”
