Healing and the Holographic Principle, Part 3

Ancient traditions describe a universal library of mystical information that contains record of events, thoughts, intents, and emotions from all time (including the future!) and in all places. Many ancient cultures: Druids, Indians, Moors, Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, Tibetans, and more, held the belief that, with the proper preparation, humans could access these records.

Modern day prophets and spiritualists like Edgar Cayce also claimed that this storehouse of information, this Akashic Records (Akasha is Sanskrit for “sky,” “space,” or “æther”)1, is what is presented to us for review upon our passing from this world. In today’s terms, this cosmic library can possibly be described as “the Universe’s super computer” and has been written about for æons.2 Hey! I just used the weird character “æ” twice in one paragraph! I’ve used a ligature! Wow! Ummm… Sorry for interrupting.

This Akashic Records talk is just crazy “woo woo” stuff, you say? Hold on a second, pardner. Science seems to be “catching up” with this ancient thought.

The “A-Field” I mentioned in my last posting is a contraction of the Akashic Field, so named by physicist Ervin Laszlo in his book Science and the Akashic Field, as an intersection of ancient and “modern” thought. He describes the field as “an interconnecting, information-conserving, and information-conveying cosmic field” which “informs…the entire web of life, [including] our consciousness.”3

So, let’s say this field exists. Let’s also throw caution to the wind for a moment and give credence to the ideas of nonlocality (that entangled particles react as one, regardless of the distance separating them) and the quantum hologram (simply, the parts contain the whole). Anyone see a pattern beginning to emerge here?

An Akashic field pervading the Universe that transcends time (it has to if all information—even future potentialities—is stored there, right?) and matter sounds a lot like the theory of the quantum hologram. Nonlocality, for that matter, could be a direct result of the field, couldn’t it? If one piece of the field contains non-time-constrained information about the whole field, then seemingly unrelated parts that react to one another are certainly possible. For example, let’s say our two familiar particles—A in Minneapolis and B in Paris—are set a’ spinnin’ clockwise again. Our intrepid researchers in Minnesota tweak A to spin counterclockwise. Immediately and without the slightest delay, particle B in Paris begins to spin the same way, when it would have taken a beam of light 0.184 seconds to travel the 4213 miles between Minneapolis and Paris. But if particle B in Paris already “knew” when and how particle A was going to change its spin, the complementary movement wouldn’t be such a big deal, would it? That’s the idea of the A-Field: everything informs and is able to act upon and interact with everything else in the Universe. Instantaneously.

OK, OK! Uff da! Enough with the Minnesotan particles, already! What the heck does this have to do with healing? Well, I’ll tell ya.

Let’s say our friend Jane has developed the skill of interacting with the A-Field. She can, as the ancients described, prepare herself in such a way that the Akashic Records are accessible to her. Let’s also say that Jane knows she can increase the healthy state of my liver (just as our Parisian particle “knew” about its Minnesotan partner’s spin). Because everything in the Universe informs, is able to act upon, and can interact with everything else in the Universe (and Jane and my liver are things in the Universe, right?), she should be able to “read” the less-than-optimal health state of an organ then influence its spin to bring it back into health. Instantaneously.

If we believe what science is now telling us about our Universe, then we need to evolve into the knowledge that we hold an inherent power beyond any we’ve ever dreamed possible. It seems as though our “less evolved” ancestors already knew of this power. We’ve forgotten it, in large part. It’s time to un-forget.

How, though? How do we harness this power? How do we un-forget how to use it?

All we need to do is think about it.

Healing and the Holographic Principle, Part 2

The first study on the effectiveness of spiritual pursuits on health was one published in 1872 by Sir Francis Galton entitled “Statistical inquiries into the efficacy of prayer.” (link) Galton correlated various strata of society at the time (i.e., Members of Royal Houses, Clergy, Lawyers, Gentry, Officers of the Army, etc.) to both their published longevity and “prayerfulness”—unfortunately, this is a label Galton arrived at by means less-than-accepted by today’s more advanced scientific methods. Interestingly, Galton found no correlation between prayerfulness and longevity.

Regardless of outcome, an important bit to take away from this study is that spirit’s effect upon health has been intriguing scientists for over 130 years.

Since this study, there have been a myriad of investigations conducted on the effects of concentrated thought and intention upon one’s own health. The placebo effect and biofeedback are two examples of well-researched and documented phenomena in psychophysiology. It has been proven beyond much doubt that, with proper preparation, we can affect the state of our physical body’s health using only our mind.

But what about trans-psychophysiology? Can we affect physical change between persons?

As the Magic 8-Ball would shout, “All signs point to ‘yes!’”

Pardon my flip answer, but these developments excite me. Imagine it: for the first time in recorded (read: discovered) history, mainstream science—traditionally the ultimate in accomplished groups of naysayers—is finding that people can bring about real physiologic changes in others, regardless of the time and distance separating the two. (Time? Really? Yup. We’ll get back to that in Part 3…)

Mystics and sages have been practicing what scientists are calling transpersonal psychophysiology for centuries. Like other true practitioners, they have ignored any external derision and skepticism and have simply worked to create positive change in their “patients.” Blessedly, they continue.

But I think we can all feel the change that’s afoot these days. The energy level of the world and its inhabitants is elevating. The traditional “one-sy, two-sy” healing and preparatory approach is still very effective, but it’s simply too slow to keep us all in synch with the vibrational frequency changes now occurring. That’s why, in my opinion, we’re seeing so many groundbreaking studies in parapsychology these days: “critical consciousness” has been reached, and it’s leading our best and brightest to examine previously-shunned areas of study: ESP, energy healing, telekinesis, etc. We need to know how this stuff works and start using it. Now.

But how does it work? Back to quantum physics.

In Part 1, I described the theory of nonlocality. This is, according to John Cramer of the University of Washington at Seattle (link), “the mysterious ability of Nature to enforce correlations between separated but entangled parts of a quantum system that are out of speed-of-light contact, to reach faster-than-light across vast spatial distances or even across time itself to ensure that the parts of a quantum system are made to match.”

Kind of thick for the layperson. Let’s break it down a little bit.

The first part states that nonlocality is “the mysterious ability of Nature to enforce correlations between separated but entangled parts of a quantum system…” OK. Some definitions are in order here.

In basic terms, a “quantum system” is something that can be described using the theories of quantum mechanics. Not that helpful, huh? Let’s define “entangled parts” first, and see if that helps.

An entangled system is made of objects that are related by “quantum entanglement:” parts that have been complementary to each other in the past and, regardless of separation, continue to affect complimentary states instantly. How about an example?

Let’s say we have two particles, A and B. In our laboratory in Minneapolis, A and B are prepared so that when particle A spins clockwise, B spins counterclockwise, and vice versa. Now we box up particle B and ship it off to our other laboratory in Paris, 4213 miles away. There, our researchers call us in Minneapolis then take a look at the spin of particle B. We note that particle A is still spinning clockwise, particle B still counterclockwise. While on the phone, we in Minneapolis nudge particle A to spin counterclockwise. “Sacré bleu!” the researchers in Paris exclaim. “Particle B has just begun to spin clockwise!” Then we nudge particle A back into a clockwise state. “Mon dieu!” they cry. “Particle B is now spinning counterclockwise!” Particles A and B are said, in this case, to be entangled. Seemingly instantaneously, they communicate and then respond to changes in their current state, regardless of separating distances.

The speed of this “communication” between entangled particles has been estimated at a billion times the speed of light (186,000,000,000,000 miles per second, or 31 light years per second, or 0.82 seconds to Vega!), but there are ongoing discussions as to whether this is way too high or way too low. Regardless, it’s an amazing development.

If 186,000 miles per second is the speed limit of matter in the Universe, how can communication travel so much faster?

Enter the A-Field.

Healing and the Holographic Principle, Part 1

The universe is really nothing but energy. It’s what “New Age” gurus have been telling us all along.

Quantum physicists tell us that the source component of the molecule, atom, quark, photon, lepton, and all other units of discovered universal matter are energy. That’s all. Just energy.

Then the quantum mechanics theory of nonlocality shows us that instantaneous communication and influence over matter is possible regardless of separation by time or distance. Sorta makes the kooky ideas of ESP, mediumship, energy healing, telekinesis, energy work, etc., etc. seem not so kooky after all, eh?

What if, instead of communication over large tracts of space or time, every packet of energy contained the sum total of everything that has happened, is happening, or will happen at every point in the Universe? Sound even kookier?

That’s precisely what scientists call the Holographic Principle: that our universe is organized like a giant hologram–a light painting that, when illuminated with lasers, shows a brilliant 3D image. Holograms also display the curious property of “containing the whole within the parts:” when divided, holograms still display the whole, albeit fuzzier, original image. Smaller divisions of the original still contain the original, as well.

So, what’s this have to do with healing? Before we delve into this, let’s summarize what we have here.

First, matter is an illusion. A perception. It’s only energy.

Second, there appears to be no Universal “speed limit:” the speed of light can be routinely exceeded within the theory of nonlocality.

Third, every piece of matter (therefore every packet of energy) is encoded with information about all past, present, and future events everywhere in the Universe.

Whoa. This means that, if we knew how, we could ostensibly access full knowledge about anything that ever happened, is happening, or will happen.

It’s the explanation of all “paranormal” activities. All of them!

But now, back to healing.

To heal is defined as “to restore to health or soundness.” For simplicity’s sake, let us presuppose that those needing healing were (a) once healthy and/or sound and (b) this healthy, sound state is again attainable.

Let’s take the example of my liver. Let’s say it was operating at a less-than-efficient level (this isn’t the case, by the way!). This crucial organ, made of matter, ensures my life or death as a more complex organism, also made of matter. Quantum theory states that matter is an illusion. It’s only energy.

So my liver’s “unhealthy” functioning is based on an energy state, as is its healthy functioning. Something must have changed in the energy or its “flow” in order to change from a healthy state to an unhealthy one.

Ancient “energy healers” (as well as some modern ones) knew this. They concentrated on repairing the energy flow, or Qi of an individual. Reiki practitioners know that, by strengthening and revitalizing another’s energy fields through willful intent and channeling of “Universal life force” energy (the Universe is nothing but energy, right?), they can bring about miraculous and sometimes instant physical healing.

But where is the scientific evidence? We already know that, if the Holographic Principle is valid, then all knowledge is available to us. But is there scientific proof that the makeup and/or flow of matter/energy can be influenced? Is there proof that energy can be brought from one state into another with “mere” intent?

Yes. Lots of it.

More to come…

Indoor Air Pollution and Your Health

The quality of the air inside the home or office can significantly impact one’s health. Many people are aware that breathing outdoor air pollutants (ozone, particulate matter, diesel fumes, carbon monoxide among others) increases the likelihood of developing serious health problems, such as asthma, heart disease and cancer. However, many of us do not realize that the air inside our home can be up to 10 times dirtier than outdoor air.

Indoor air pollution refers to air pollutants that occur inside buildings or other enclosed spaces. Examples of indoor air pollutants include dust, fibers, smoke, bio-aerosols, radon, pesticides, asbestos, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Some sources, including building materials, furnishings and household products like cleaning sprays and air fresheners, release high concentrations of pollutants. High pollutant concentrations can remain in the air for long durations, increasing the potential for serious health problems and illnesses.

Evidence has proven that individuals exposed to chemicals, even over short periods of time, may develop immediate health effects, including eye and throat irritation, nasal congestion, chest tightness, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. Long-term health effects may develop years after exposure to pollutants. These effects include cancer, heart disease, asthma, allergy and other respiratory diseases, all of which can be severely debilitating or fatal.

Inadequate ventilation increases indoor pollutant levels by not allowing in enough outdoor air to dilute indoor air pollutant sources and by not carrying them out of the home. Unless homes are built with special mechanical means of ventilation, such as outdoor-vented fans, or air handling systems, “airtight” homes may have higher pollutant levels than other homes. When there is limited ventilation, the air exchange rate is low, and the level of pollutants then pose health and comfort problems.

Research has proven that a freestanding air purifier with a medical-grade HEPA filter and activated carbon is effective at reducing particulate levels and trapping harmful chemicals, gases and vapors. Austin Air, a USA-based manufacturer of portable air purification systems, is regarded by leading doctors, allergists and indoor air quality experts as the air cleaner of choice. The Austin Air HealthMate, their most popular unit, features Hospital Grade HEPA filtration for the removal of 99.97% of all airborne particulate matter larger than 0.3 microns (dust, pet dander, bacteria, viruses, germs, pollen, and mold spores). This unit also includes activated granular carbon for the elimination of over 3000 toxic gaseous chemicals, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and noxious odors. Unlike many of the cheap ionizing-producers sold via television commercials, Austin Air purifiers do not emit harmful ozone gas, which can aggravate asthma and irritate the upper respiratory system.

Acupuncture and Pain Relief

Many chronic pain patients seem to be helped by acupuncture. This is fortunate, since several common prescription and nonprescription painkillers aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and indomethacin, for example can cause liver and kidney problems, ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.

For kidney-stone pain, acupuncture was found to be as effective as drug treatment. And almost half the subjects receiving drugs had side effects, while no one receiving acupuncture did.

Still, it’s curious that the studies aren’t more compelling-especially since acupuncture is more accepted in this country, and more likely to be covered by insurance, when used to treat pain than when used for other conditions. Physicians who pooh-pooh the idea of using acupuncture for other problems believe in using it for pain.

Perhaps this is because research has shown that the painkilling effect of acupuncture seems to be connected to endorphins (natural, narcotic-like substances produced by our brains). Conventional Western doctors have trouble with the concept of energy traversing invisible channels, but endorphins are something they understand. It’s known that trauma can increase these natural opiates, and one argument used to dispute the effectiveness of acupuncture holds that it works merely by the counterirritant effect (that is, the pain of the needles takes your mind off whatever problem you’re being treated for).
