| In the late nineteenth
century, prominent physicists such as William Crookes and Oliver Lodge searched
for what they called the "psychic force" responsible for the mysterious
powers of the mind that was being exhibited by the mediums and other spiritualist
hucksters of the day. They thought it might be connected with the electromagnetic
"aether waves" that had just been discovered and were being put
to amazing use. If wireless telegraphy was possible, why not wireless telepathy?
While wireless telegraphy thrived, wireless telepathy made no progress in
the full century that followed. But even before the twentieth century saw
its first sunrise, the aether was found not to exist. By 1905, electromagnetic
signals were recognized as being carried by material particles we now call
photons.
Biological science developed within a totally materialistic model in which everything could be understood in terms of the same material particles and forces that were found in inanimate matter. From all we know in physics, chemistry, and biology, living cells are made of the same quarks and electrons as rocks. They interact with one another by the exchange of the same photons and gluons. Our understanding of the processes which go on below the quantum level adds another nuance to our metaphysical concepts of the "subtle body", the relationship of mind and matter, and the relative nature of reality. Whatever we find out about the nature of this realm, and its relationship to mass, applies to our own bodies and minds as well. We are one and the same as the structures that underlie the matter and
energy of our gross structure. That structure is continuous, interconnected,
and non-local in nature. We have, enfolded within our being, an underlying
reality even more fundamental than the structure behind the interconnected
wave patterns described by quantum mechanics. This very ephemeral virtual ether translates itself into matter by turning
and turning on its gyres, transforming itself from no-thing into something.
We perceive its real-time effect as electricity, without really comprehending
what that energy is. Two like charged particles with precisely antiparallel spin run right through each other when they meet, with no interaction at all, electrical or otherwise. This successful experiment at Argonne National Laboratory disproved the old idea of concrete, solid, material reality. Yet, once again, we are that! In the middle of being is non-being. Before we leave the descriptions of the sub-quantal electrical activity of the body, we can examine some of the implications of bioelectromagnetism. The most prominent researcher in this area is Robert O. Becker. Becker is famous for his research on applying electrical fields to the body for healing and tissue regeneration. But he has also done experiments relating the application of electromagnetic currents to the brain and results on consciousness. Some of the most interesting are recounted in THE BODY ELECTRIC, co-authored with Gary Selden (1985). "We also found we could work backward, using the [DC] currents to
produce anesthesia. A strong enough magnetic field oriented at RIGHT ANGLES
[orthogonal] to a current magnetically "clamped" it, stopping
the flow. By placing frogs and salamanders between the poles of an electromagnet
so that the back-to-front current in their heads was perpendicular to
the magnetic lines of force, we could anesthetize the animals just as
well as we could with chemicals, and EEG recordings of magnetic and chemical
anesthesia were identical. We got the same effect by passing a current
through the brain from front to back, canceling out the normal current
of waking consciousness, as in electrosleep. He recounts his physical findings from hypnotized subjects. "In each case, I found that the frontal negative potential of the head became less negative, often reaching ZERO, as the client attained deep trance. The reading changed in the same direction as in anesthesia, only not as far. Then, when the suggestion for pain control was given, the arm potential reversed just as it had in response to procaine. Conversely, when a control subject was asked in normal waking consciousness to concentrate forcefully on one arm, its sensitivity to pain increased, and the hand potential became more negative. We found we could use this difference to determine whether a person was really hypnotized or just cooperating. " Every physical change of a charged particle (from proton to neutron to electron) constitutes a modulation imposed upon its virtual photonic activity creating its electromagnetic field. These modulations collect, become coherent, and breach the threshold of the virtual dimension. It, in turn, amplifies the signal or information, passing to the frame of the electromagnetic field. The EM field plays an integral role in coupling the virtual state reality to observable state reality. Action, according to physics, is the fundamental constituent of physical reality. In metaphysics, action is the agent of karma, producing natural consequences. Action is non observable; only changes in action are observed, and then only partially. The photon is the basic quantum of action, uniting energy and time. All physical things are composed of rates of changes
in action. These action changes are totally internal to the mass itself.
Therefore, literally, the physical universe exists inside each and every
part of itself, and is a giant hologram. We cannot see time because it is continually being
destroyed by the change process, the very process of physical detection
or observation itself. This is similar to the annihilation of a photon
when it hits the retina and becomes absorbed. Individually, virtual photons cannot breach the
threshold of quantum change, and so cannot be observed or detected. But
in concert, they do breach the threshold. The totally unobservable, undetectable
virtual photons being emitted and absorbed are conceived as creating the
electric field at the same time as observable physical change (ordinary
quantum change) occurs. Each photon carries a small piece of time. And
the entire virtual state reality is hanging onto that small piece of time
as a modulation. That is where the probabilities are riding, in terms
of the ordinary monocular interpretation of quantum mechanics. All the
probabilities and possibilities are concretely real and occupy orthogonal
universes. Since they all share the same single time dimension, there
is a TIME BRIDGE OR TIME CHANNEL [QM wormholes] connecting the universes. Every possibility concretely exists in that manner, in the virtual state, timewise hanging into the time dimension of the detected physical world's four-space frame, but spacewise hanging out of the ordinary three space physical universe of objects. So indeed all possible realities, even the wildest and the most farfetched exist in the virtual state. Since the electromagnetic field represents a collection
of this vast array of realities, then by proper selection (i.e., by coherent
tuning) of multiple stages we should be able to select a particular virtual
reality channel. And indeed so we can. Any scheme for drastically increasing
signal-to-noise ratios should be adaptable to such a collection mechanism
for the detection of bioenergy. The introduction of superstring theory has stretched scientific minds even further. Superstring theory takes us beyond symmetry-groups to two further levels of abstractions. The third level of abstraction is the interpretations of symmetry-groups in terms of states in ten-dimensional space-time (sound Qabalistic?). The fourth level is the world of the superstring by whose dynamical behavior the states are defined. We are inviting you also into those rarified events beyond the observable limits of nature, at the core of the core, as far within as we dare speculate. Scalar phenomena, while not directly visible, can be inferred. The discerning will find that their own nature is truly reflected there, and its name is Mystery. |
