of our hypotheses suggests that the surviving consciousness may become
a subtle energy based system. The term Subtle Energy (SE) is of recent
origin. SE could mean a physical energy, such as electromagnetic or acoustic,
that is of such low intensity we have no means of measuring it presently.
The sensors we have designed in the laboratories are not sensitive enough
to directly discern these fields. In this definition of SE, we are dealing
with a physical field which is of very low magnitude.
Several scientists in the United States (Tiller, Bearden, Rein, Putoff,
Green, and Srinivasan) have studied SE and its effects. Though each has
developed his own nuanced theory of SE, in general they all tend to concur
that SE phenomena is related to a type of unified energy, and is not just
a physical field of very low magnitude.
Contemporary quantum physics has mathematically described and predicted
the presence of a unified energy which underlies conventional transverse
electromagnetic (EM) vectors. The concept of a subtle energy underlying
EM fields was first introduced by Bohm and Aharonov in describing quantum
potentials as an implicate order "embedded in" our normal 3-D
space. It has recently been proposed that an additional implicate order
is embedded within the quantum potentials.
This higher-dimensional space is composed of an energy, which has been
called time-reversed waves, non-Hertzian waves, longitudinal waves, scalar
waves, or zero-point energy.
The classical EM fields have been under investigation since the laws of
Maxwell were established more than 150 years ago in England. We know all
about the physical fields; we can generate, manipulate and use them for
purposes such as long distance communication, computer applications and
measurement techniques that are proliferating all around us. However,
our knowledge regarding SE fields is expanding slowly. Subtle Energy fields
might be a fundamental manifestation of energy that underlies classical
energy systems.
We need to invoke current theories in physics to postulate possible scenario
for SE production. It is known that what we thought of as vacuum or empty
space is not really so. Quantum theory predicts this vacuum is really
a container of enormous amounts of energy. Particles seem to appear and
disappear out of this vacuum. Such processes are presently called Zero
Point Fluctuations (ZPF), providing an infinite energetic background for
the physical world.
Now, one might ask, how is this ZPE connected with SE?
SE fields emerge out of ZPE, they may be beyond physicality (and hence
not possible to measure); however, after transduction, they seem to manifest
as quasi-physical energies. Or they directly influence the behavior of
classical field phenomena. After such a change in energy format, SE fields
become 'useful' and take part in energy interactions with physical fields
such as electromagnetic and acoustic.
Prof. William Tiller of Stanford University (former Chairman of the Materials
Science Department and Guggenheim Fellow), provides a more detailed explanation
of the possible mechanism of causation.
Prof. Tiller has proposed that magnetic vector potentials are the means
by which energy exchanges occur between subtle energy fields and the physical
world of electromagnetics. It is likely that the energy generated through
magnetic vector potentials from the fundamental ZPF is 'pure', and can
influence fields and matter around it through resonance effects.
Resonance occurs when two objects have frequencies of oscillations that
are close to each other. When two such systems are in proximity, then
they will resonate at the frequency dictated by the stronger of the two
oscillations. For example, when a string in a guitar is plucked, any string,
which is at a nearby resonance, will start oscillating at the driven frequency.
Similarly, the strong oscillations at the fundamental ZPE level will couple
with other material oscillations and organize them to its proper frequency.
Further, the ZPE generated field is considered coherent
Thus, resonance and coherence are two important aspects of SE fields.
The physical field that emanates from the SE device is highly coherent
and induces resonance in material objects as well as electromagnetic force
fields around it. The property of coherence is important in many systems,
including the psychophysical. For example, information is transmitted
across junctions in the human nervous system because of coherence. Even
at the gross level, activities such as speech, movement of limbs and other
functions are possible because of a coherent behavior of many subsystems.
Tiller summarizes the four ways subtle energy can relate to and influence
classical electromagnetic phenomena:
(1) Subtle energy may directly influence the ordering
of fundamental magnetic properties, which would regulate the fundamental
magnetic behavior of all electromagnetic fields in the range of the subtle
energy device.
(2) Subtle energy may be related to magnetic vectors, such that the vectors
serve as the media whereby the properties of subtle energy are able to
impact electromagnetic phenomena.
(3) Subtle energy may be the rarefied form of magnetic vectors, or one
and the same phenomena.
(4) Other properties of subtle energy may exist that impact sub-atomic
particle phenomena through quantum field interactions, and thus they would
indirectly influence forces such as magnetic phenomena.
If
the magnetic vector were used as a medium or vehicle to store and transport
and disseminate this energy, it would carry the new magnetic value to
the electromagnetic phenomena in the environment, most likely through
the mechanism of resonance. The same result would occur if the magnetic
vectors were physical attributes of non-physical subtle energies, as if
they were the flip side of the same coin.
Because electromagnetic radiation is composed of both an electric component
and a magnetic component, the electric component will be always be directly
affected by magnetic shifts. This is based on the principles of magnetics,
where magnetic fields influence charged particles in motion such as photons,
the carriers of electromagnetic force.
Thus, if a SE device can influence electromagnetic phenomena; it would
be theoretically expected to influence a wide variety of phenomena spanning
physical, chemical, biological, and psychophysical systems.
Under this hypothesis, the ghost can only be detected when it is interacting
with its environment, producing electromagnetic fields and waves. To many
ghost hunters this would make sense as often we only acquire short “spikes”
of energy on our EMF meters. The problem with this hypothesis is that
it cannot be proven until subtle energy can be detected and measured.
