In 1996 I wrote a note to the
Ecological Economics forum on the subject of "Spiritual
Quantum Ecological Economics" (this is still on the web
HERE) In this note I mentioned
a number of sources that speak of a unified information field which
makes evolution a more cooperative activity than is generally
credited.
Since 1996 I have given this concept a great deal of thought and
have found a number of additional supportive writings on this
subject. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho (see:
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/genet.shtml
for a short bio) wrote this about cooperation in evolution in an
article on "Evolution":
"This paradox disappears, of course,
when one rejects the ungrounded assumption that selfishness or
competitiveness is fundamental to the living world. Animals
engage in competitive or aggressive acts, but that does not mean
there are inherent qualities of competitiveness and
aggressiveness which can account for those acts. Furthermore,
examples of cooperation among animals far outstrip those of
competition."
We need to ask how this cooperation
between and within species might happen. We might take a clue from a
similar cooperation which takes place between the cells of a single
organism. Dr. Ho has written a great deal about the role of "quantum
coherence" in consciousness. In the abstract
of her article titled "Quantum Coherence and Conscious Experience"
Dr. Ho writes:
"I propose that quantum
coherence is the basis of living organization and can
also account for key features of conscious experience - the "unity
of intentionality", our inner identity of the singular
"I", the simultaneous binding and segmentation of features in
the perceptive act, the distributed, holographic nature of
memory, and the distinctive quality of each experienced
occasion."
In her paper titled "Gaia
and the Evolution of Coherence" she suggests that
this same quantum coherence is a fundamental basis for
intercommunication between species on the Earth:
"Thus, it seems that the essence of
the living state is to build up and extend the coherent spatio-temporal
platform for communication starting from the energy of the sun
initially absorbed by green plants. Living systems are thus
neither the subjects alone, nor objects isolated, but both
subjects and objects in a mutually communicating universe of
meaning. In contrast to the neo-Darwinist point of view, their
capacity for evolution depends, not on rivalry or on might in
the struggle for existence. Rather, it depends on their capacity
for communication. So in a sense, it is not individuals as such
which are developing but living systems interlinked into a
coherent whole. Just as the cells in an organism take on
different tasks for the whole, different populations enfold
information not only for themselves, but for all other
organisms, expanding the consciousness of the whole, while at
the same time becoming more and more aware of this collective
consciousness. Human consciousness may have its most significant
role in the development and creative expression of the
collective consciousness of nature."
Also in her paper she postulates that:
"Organisms are thus emitters and
most probably, also receivers of coherent electromagnetic
signals which may be essential for their functioning."
Dr. Philip Callahan is an
entomologist who has been exploring the mechanisms of this coherent
electromagnetic reception for the last fifty years. Dr. Callahan has
his doctorate in entomology and about 1600 hours of training in
electronics. He has combined these two interests and developed
several interesting theories. His theories are based on experimental
evidence. One of his theories is that insect antennae are
dielectric, open resonator infrared detectors. He expounds this
theory in a paper published in the book "Molecular and Biological
Physics of Living Systems" edited by R. K. Mishra and published by
Kluwer Academic Publishers in 1990. His paper is titled "Nonlinear
Infrared Coherent Radiation as an Energy Coupling Mechanism in
Living Systems". Here is his introduction to this paper:
"A history of my observations of
moths and ants at light is given and the external infrared
environment of day and night described. It is pointed out that
insects have dielectric, open resonator, antennae, in the form
of sensilla, on their antennae. A table of the ELF vibration
frequency of various insect orders is presented and related to
the many parameters of infrared scatter emission from scent and
pheromone molecules. Experiments on moth oviposition, attraction
to candles, and response to colors of light are described, as is
the behavior of ants at candles.
The complex far infrared maserlike
emission of candles is correlated with emission from insect sex
scents and pheromones, and a method of generating maserlike
scatter emission from scent molecules described. Several such
spectrum from ethanol are presented. Spectrum of nonlinear
emission, far infrared frequencies from breath are generated by
vibrating a metal plate with a 130 audio component of the OM
phoneme. The discussion relates the insect communication system
to other life organizing coherent systems. This work on Cabannes
and Rayeligh scattering of coherent radiation reinforces other
work on photon storage in biological systems."
There are a couple of quotes from this
paper which suggest that the principles that Dr. Callahan has
discovered might be common to many living systems:
"The occurrence of nonlinear
coherent lines in breath at body temperature leads one to the
conclusion that coherent radiations, especially from complex
scatter frequencies, are a part of the mechanism of self
organizing biological system and occur as readily, under the
right conditions, in the tubules of the blood vessels and at
cellular levels, especially in the visible region as shown by
Popp (17), and others.
A summary of elegant work based on
coherence in self organizing living systems is given in the
symposium "Synergic et Coherence dans les Systems Biologiques."
(18) Work on coherent information and energy transfer mechanisms
is a new and exciting area for research into the mysteries of
self organizing biological systems, and it is the scent coupling
of energy from organic molecules to insect dielectric antennae
forms in the infrared region that gives great insight into how
such coherent systems work. It is imperative that researchers in
this field answer criticism from those who are convinced that
coherence does not occur at room temperatures in living
systems."
"That coherent infrared is available for insect communication
systems there is and it is also available in both the visible
and infrared portions of the spectrum for utilization in self
organizing biological systems (17), and it is for this reason
that my work reinforces other work on coherent energy coupling
mechanisms in living systems.
Once this concept of coherent energy coupling in self organizing
systems is thoroughly understood, it is predictable that the
generation of coherent signals in the UV (virus and membrane
dimensions) visible and infrared (cell, organells and insect
antennae dimensions) can be utilized to resonate to the
biological antenna in order to control disease organisms or
reverse cancerous conditions. It might even be possible to
resonate to the form of the AIDS virus in the 0.1 mm region,
which is the dimension of most virus, and reverse the fatal
signals of that small "living" antenna, or to put it in more
poetic terms ’find God in little things.’"
Another phenomena which is associated
with quantum coherence is superconductivity. The search for a
material which will support superconductivity at room temperatures
is one of the "Holy Grail" quests of modern physics but there is
strong evidence that superconductivity is already present in
biological systems at biological temperatures. In her "Gaia" paper
Dr. Ho wrote:
"Recently, technology has progressed
to materials which can superconduct at much higher temperatures
above absolute zero. The solid-state physicist Herbert Frohlich
(1968) in Liverpool was among the first to point out that
something like a condensation into a collective mode of activity
may be occurring in living systems, such that living organisms
are in effect, superconductors working at physiological
temperatures. He suggested that much of the metabolic energy,
instead of being lost as heat, is actually stored in the form of
coherent electromechanical vibrations in the body. He called
these collective modes, coherent excitations."

Optical coherence effects have been
observed in microtubules which are a structure inside cells. An
interesting theory about how microtubules might function as a
biological computer by collapsing infinite possibilities into a
decision was proposed by Roger Penrose (a physicist) and Stuart Hameroff (an anesthesiologist) in their paper titled "Orchestrated
Objective Reduction of Quantum Coherence in Brain Microtubules: The
'Orch OR' Model for Consciousness":
"A critical number of tubulins
maintaining coherence within [microtubules] for 500 msec
collapses its own wave function (objective reduction: OR). This
occurs because the mass-energy difference among the
superpositioned states of coherent tubulins critically perturbs
space-time geometry. To prevent multiple universes, the system
must reduce to a single space-time by choosing eigenstates."
In another paper (Cytoplasmic Gel States
and Ordered Water: Possible Roles in Biological Quantum Coherence)
Hameroff suggests that this quantum coherence within the microtubule
might be a function of light coherence:
"Here we consider three proposals in
which ordered water may play a role in biological quantum
coherence essential for living systems and consciousness:
1)
quantum optical coherence in microtubule inner cores
("super-radiance" and "self-induced transparency")
2) cellular
"vision"
3) isolation of microtubules from environmental decoherence"
So, we see that both optical coherence
and superconductivity have been identified within biological systems
but what materials are responsible for these effects and how might
they relate to ecological connections?
The
ORMUS elements appear to
support both superconductivity and optical coherence at biological
temperatures and above. I believe that I have demonstrated
superconductive magnetic levitation at room temperature on my
kitchen table using ORMUS goldas the superconductor. You can watch
a short "video" of this demonstration.
I have spoken with Dr. Callahan
extensively about the ORMUS elements and we agree that they probably
are the "mechanism" underlying the coherent coupling phenomena that
he describes. He also has noticed that a similar coherent coupling
phenomena couples living plants to their environment. He postulates
that paramagnetic soils are the basis of this coupling phenomena. In
his book on this subject "Paramagnetism - Rediscovering Nature’s
Secret Force of Growth" he writes:
"Sometime during the decline of the
great Tang dynasty (894 AD) the gates to China were closed by
Japan and garden geomancy became garden art, an aesthetic
undertaking. It had lost its connection to the sun. Placement
and shapes were no longer antenna design, but were more in line
with the visions of artists who had little knowledge of
low-energy force fields. There it stagnates today, endlessly
fostered by Eastern and Western practitioners who have not the
slightest knowledge of the physics of nature’s low-energy
forces. If one thing should be learned from this book, it is
that not only do the laws of physics connect chemistry to
biology, but they also connect mankind to the sun!"
In this book, Dr. Callahan
explains that paramagnetic properties of the soil are taken up into
plants where they become diamagnetic but when these plants burn or
rot the ash is paramagnetic again. We have noted that the ORMUS
materials will change from paramagnetic to diamagnetic depending on
their exposure to moving magnetic fields (an example of this
transition can be seen in the "video" above) and that
they become diamagnetic when they are in water.
Using this principle we have devised "magnetic traps" to
magnetically "levitate" a more diamagnetic portion of water so that
this portion can be concentrated. Three magnetic trap designs are
linked from:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/magtrap.htm
An Australian geologist named Kevin
Massman has used one of the magnetic trap designs to extract
ORMUS elementsfrom the air. Kevin has also found that dew collected
at the time of the full moon has more of these elements in it than
dew collected at other times of the month. This has led us to
postulate that these elements respond to tidal forces. There is some
evidence that tidal forces might help "pump" the sap in plants
assisting capillary action.
Dr. Callahan also has speculated on this tidal phenomenon:
"As in the case of plants, water is
diamagnetic. The atmosphere, because of the oxygen, is
paramagnetic. Some of my preliminary experiments at night,
during the full moon, indicate a paramagnetic/diamagnetic,
plant, moon, water and soil relationship in nature. We know that
the moon, which is highly paramagnetic, has a very strong effect
on tides, which are of diamagnetic water. The many volcanic
and/or meteorite cones indicate a paramagnetic moon body even
though I could find no data on this subject from moon rock
measurements.
It has long been known that certain Indian tribes planted by the
full moon. There is little doubt in my mind that the American
Indian knew more about good agriculture techniques than modern
agriculturists! As the Sioux brave remarked while watching a
farmer turning under virgin prairie grass, "wrong side up!"
(in Altars of Unknown Stone, by
Wes
Jackson)."
Philip Callahan also suggests that there
is a relationship between the earth’s
Schumann resonance and human
brain waves:
"The so-called "Schumann"
waves,
which would better be called atmospheric "brain waves," occur in
the 8- to 30 Hz region. Since they exactly match the human brain
waves (8, 14, 21, 27 and 33 Hz). I consider that the EEG brain
waves are actually the low-frequency atmospheric waves "in the
air" of our brain. We are, after all, mostly water and air. The
organic molecules of our bodies are only little photonic
oscillators that fill the spaces between the water and
atmosphere of our body. It is highly unlikely that the exact
match between low-frequency atmospheric ELF (8, 14, 21, 27 and
33 Hz) and so-called brain waves is accidental."
From this he concludes:
"In summary, every living human
being is like a sponge in a bowl of jelly (the atmosphere). When
the atmospheric jelly shakes (ELF waves), then the jelly in the
sponge also shakes at the same frequency. The organic photon
oscillators of our body superimpose their messages on this
atmospheric brain/body continuum (think about ESP)."
A Finnish physicist named Matti
Pitkanen has outlined a theoretical framework for
superconductivity in biological systems. (Exotic atoms and a
mechanism for superconductivity in biosystems-
HERE)
He has also outlined a hypothesis which suggests a physical ORMUS
connection to psychokinesisand other psychic phenomena.
Matti Pitkanen claims that the movement of matter by mind
which occurs inside of the microtubule is virtually identical to psychokinesis or moving objects outside the body by the power of
mind alone.
In a May 1997 email Matti wrote:
Dear Barry,
Certain person claiming to have ability to do psychokinesis
contacted me and he encouraged me to think about a possible TGD (topological field quantum)
inspired model of psychokinesis. Although I have worked only
less than week it seems that this will turn out to be a good
question. As a matter of fact it seems that separate pieces of
TGD inspired model of biosystem begin to fit together very
nicely.
The key concept is what I call topological field quantization.
Magnetic field in TGD decomposes into flux tubes parallel to the
flux lines of field. These flux tubes are cylindrical surfaces
with outer boundary. If one requires that there is no ordinary
matter inside them one obtains hollow cylindrical flux tubes
with opposite charged wormhole densities on the inner and outer
surfaces of this cylindrical surface. Note that wormhole flux
tubes involve always two spacetime sheets with opposite magnetic
fluxes. Wormholes form a BE condensate and this topologically
quantized magnetic field becomes quantum object of macroscopic
size and a potential conscious being if TGD inspired theory of
consciousness is correct!! Jim and other people seem to speak
about White [ORMUS] Gold almost as a conscious being: they might
be right!
If PK-able person is able to control this kind of macroscopic
field associated with his body then PK (psychokinesis) becomes possible by
levitation in this field, provided the object is wormhole super
conductor (recall that wormholes can give rise to super
conductivity in which wormholes are charge carriers as well as
ordinary electronic super conductivity). By changing voluntarily
the quantized magnetic fluxes in flux lines of magnetic field PK-able
person can control the magnetic field at will and thus create
levitating force.
Actually also DNA inside cell could perform similar control of
motion. In fact, the genetic code might be transcribed into the
structure of the wormhole magnetic field surrounding DNA and
this would make possible the translation of genetic code to biostructures. So called
phantom
DNA effect is in accordance
with the hypothesis that DNA in presence of coherent light
(created by microtubules by quantum antenna hypothesis!) gives
rise to wormhole magnetic field. Wormhole magnetic fields might
the key feature of biological systems behind coherent photons.
Matti Pitkanen has expanded this
concept on his web site. In his paper there he writes:
"The basic philosophy of the model
is following. PK is not just some isolated exotic phenomenon but
only a special case of the voluntary control of bodily motions,
which we all routinely perform. The only difference is that the
range of voluntary control extends over the boundaries of the
body in case of PK. This leads to important conclusion:
PK (psychokinesis)
phenomena must involve classical long range fields, which give
for biosystems spatial extension larger than what is visible
(that is hands with which to grasp on external object!).
According to TGD (topological field quantum) inspired
theory of consciousness, cell and even
DNA can be conscious and perform choices. Thus the model should
also provide understanding about small scale biocontrol such as
the (voluntary!) control of the motion of cell organelles
performed by cell nucleus. A related problem is how genetic code
is transformed into spatial structures during ontogeny and the
idea that each DNA sequence corresponds to a characteristic
classical field configuration, is attractive. Thus the model in
question is not meant to be an ad hoc solution of a particular
problem called PK but a general solution of several basic
problems in biology."
It looks like the ORMUS elementsmight provide the missing link in our understanding of the
relationship between mind and matter. I believe that this
understanding will help us to facilitate the movement of science
toward a more holistic world-view and that this will, in turn,
foster alternative solutions to most of the ecological problems that
we face. Dr. Callahan has a very good sense of this. In his
Paramagnetism book he wrote:
"Most university funding now comes
from large grants made by corporations or from government
agencies which are controlled by large corporations through PACs
and lobbyists. Corporate control of university research is a
phenomenon that slowly developed from university agricultural
experiment stations’ acceptance of money from chemical companies
in exchange for insecticide testing. I am an authority on that
subject. In the fifties and sixties I tested just about every
insecticide known to mankind at the time.
As corporate conglomerates take over more and more in a
desperate attempt to make life linear, we are developing a form
of dictatorship I term "corporate communism." Two excellent
books on the demise of the scholastic university are Prof Scam,
by Charles J. Sykes, and The Closing of the American Mind, by
Allan Bloom.
Why do I ask what will happen when the common-sense research by
Princeton researchers begins to yield solid results? Quite
simply, it is because today’s intellectual atmosphere is infused
by a desire to control nature. Put more simply, modern
researchers tend to practice manipulation and not science.
Science is discovery, manipulation is the belief that one can
utilize discovery to shape nature to man’s will. That, of
course, cannot be accomplished, for nature’s plan is God’s plan.
One does not need to read this book to come to the realization
that manipulation is today synonymous with science. Almost every
newspaper has articles on man’s unique ability to manipulate DNA
in order to create "better", more "vigorous, or "more money
yielding" plants. DNA research lends itself to this man-is-God
syndrome. Materialistic skeptics will maintain that farmers
manipulate nature. That is very true of chemical farming where
one imposes on nature what are, in essence, poisons to eliminate
problems.
Eco-agricultureis not manipulation, but simply replacement
agriculture. It is the ancient, or Irish-Celtic if you prefer,
form of agriculture where mankind worked very hard to replace
what he took from the land. Crop rotation is one example of this
sort of farming."
Dr. Callahan suggests that an
understanding of the energetic relationships between soil,
atmosphere, plants and insects will lead to the greatest revolution
in agriculture that the world has ever known:
"When I went to school at Arkansas
and Kansas State, the agricultural experiment stations
encouraged the scientific study of efficient gathering. Dr.
Reginald Painter, with whom I worked at Kansas State, was the
world’s most renowned gatherer. He went out into the fields of
Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska and found individual wheat plants
that were resistant to disease and insect damage. He brought
them back to the laboratory and in his greenhouses worked on
breeding, by natural means, large populations of these naturally
resistant varieties.
My job was to discover why they were resistant. In particular, I
studied corn resistance to the corn earworm moth. I soon
discovered that if I grew my small, 1/8-acre plots on poor soil
they attracted far more corn earworm moth eggs than plots on
dark, well aerated, bottomland soil. In other words, healthy
plants require healthy soil. And healthy plants, like healthy
people, simply do not attract disease or insects. Why?
It took me forty years to find out why and that is the subject
of a much longer, more complex, scientific paper that will be of
little use to the family farmer trying to grow food for my
family and others who like to eat. Put quite simply, it is
because unhealthy plants from "sick," poison-fed, soil give off
slightly higher ethanol and ammonia infrared signals than
healthy plants. This is particularly true of modern farmed
ammonia-drugged plants. Ask any professional entomologist what
are two of the most universal attractants of insects, and they
will agree they are ethanol and ammonia, both precursors of
fermentation and death. Farm crops should be harvested before
they reach old age, the attractive state that brings hoards of
nature’s scavengers, disease and insects, to feed on them."
The ORMUS elements appear to be Cooper
paired Bose Einstein condensates. If this is so, it would explain
why they are so difficult to identify using chemical and
spectroscopic assay methods. The Cooper pairing would tie up valence
electrons so that chemical bonding would not happen. The
Meissner effect would exclude magnetic fields disabling
spectroscopy.
If you cannot readily identify a substance it is difficult to modify
agricultural or dietary practices to favor that substance. Dr.
Callahan has developed a cheap paramagnetism detector which should
help to remedy this problem with the naturally occurring ORMUS
elementsin soil:
"With this meter many a farmer can
save his soil from the destruction advocated by present day
chemical propaganda. This author estimates that 60 to 70% of
this volcanic paramagnetic force has been eroded away worldwide.
A meter to measure this force is therefore absolutely necessary
in order to save our chemically raped and eroded soil. Soil
should be alive with living organisms such as bacteria and
earthworms, diamagnetic plant material such as compost, and the
rich soil paramagnetic force.
Mineralization of the soil by adding
separate minerals does not, I repeat does not, mean that the
paramagnetic force has been added. We know little of the effect
of living forces in rock, but we do not install into the soil
the living paramagnetic force by blind mineralization of the
soil.
Complex mixtures do not necessarily contain a high CGS/paramagnetic
factor. It is an absolute fact that all chemical fertilizers
measured by this inventor, even those labeled organic, impart or
contain the CGS force at such a low reading as to be totally
useless in reinforcing the remaining natural volcanic force of
the soil.
I have never asked a person to follow my advice without some
sort of common sense method to test it. That is what real
science, not manipulation, is all about. The farmer that
measures this force, or follows my simple flower pot experiments
(see Appendix), is just as much a scientist as a university-type
who uses the fine Bartington instrument to get down to the last
decimal place. We scientists love decimals."
David Bohm, the great physicist,
postulated that time, space and matter unfolds from a non-physical
"plenum" he called the "implicate order". Further, this
unfoldment
is directed by a field of intelligence he called the
"super-implicate order":
"The first implicate order is like
the field, and there is a super-implicate order which organizes
the field into discrete units which are particle-like. Without
that superimplicate order however, the field would just spread
out without showing any particle-like qualities."
(Unfolding Meaning: a Weekend of
Dialogue with David Bohm)
Various scientists in different sciences
seem to be converging on the idea that the universe is a cooperative
venture which is informed by instantaneous quantum coherent
communication.
How can we best use the knowledge that I have presented above to
heal the Earth and her creatures?
Our current economic and governmental structures were largely formed
using Darwinism as a model. They are based more on competition than
on cooperation. These structures have solidified and taken on a life
and agenda of their own.
These structures were initially competitive with and eventually
supplanted the religious and political structures of the middle
ages. Humanity is no longer ruled by religious structures, we are
now ruled by corporate structures. In both cases we gave our power
to our creations and these creations are destroying the natural
world and living rights.
Life is dynamic. Structure is static. Structure should serve and
support life. Life should not serve structure. When a new social or
economic structure replaces an old one, the struggle between the two
structures continues to promote the power of structure over life.
"Structure is an organizational
factor in the universe, although a secondary and derivative one.
It is love which first brings order out of chaos, but structure
implements the durable patterns of orderly arrangement. Love
built your home; structure holds the walls in place. Love built
your nation, structure administers it. Love determines the
parameters of right conduct, structure formulates the laws which
enforce it. Like the mind, structure is good if it serves, and
tyrannical if it dominates inflexibly, never submitting to the
revisions of love.
"Structure represents the predictable, agreed upon patterns of
existence which start with simple forms and build to complex
ones. It is the patterning which causes the differences of
potential, and holds organizational formulas in place. For
example, structure is what makes the difference between steam,
water, and ice even though the ingredients are the same. But
structure is not the 'will’ which determines whether H20 will
become steam or ice. That is determined by harmonic adaptations
to the environment (love).
"All structure is derivative summarization, and is subject to
revision, suspension, or development. You might say that
structure is the conservational imprint which allows desirable
creations to be stabilized, retained, and combined into larger
aggregates of form and matter. Structure is what holds things in
place.
"Laid upon this gridwork are many mind-generated patterns and
structural models used by man for control. There are no ’sacred
designs’ which preceded reality. This idea has been invented to
make you afraid to revise or to dispense with unworkable
structures, and to give structures dominance over you."
"In society, structure is most protected by those who have
attained what they want. Ironically, it is also blindly obeyed
by those who have so little they fear any and all change,
thinking that change will only bring more loss. This is the
harmony between the rich and the poor. By contrast, those who
establish and implement values based on moderation and mobility
use enough structure to make life work without inhibiting
growth.
"You experience the structures of life as blocking attachments,
and they actually rob you of your true wealth. Your true wealth
is on a much higher level. It is the harvest of love. You have
to experience letting go in order to receive. Learn the power of
letting go. This lesson is as important as loving your enemies,
because when you let go of structure, the real wealth that is
there will multiply many times.
"The first thing you will learn is that you simply cannot lose
your true wealth. The only thing you ever need to diminish is
structure. With that realization, you will make real steps
toward overcoming your enslavement by structure and move into
the greater reality of brotherhood."
If these ideas are valid (regardless of
the validity of the source) then we cannot eliminate the problems
caused by one structure by empowering another structure. Our action
strategy must come from an intimate awareness of the field of
knowledge which David Bohm calls the super-implicate order,
which Mae-Wan Ho calls quantum coherence, which Philip
Callahan calls "God in little things" and which
Glenda Green calls love.
A simple technique for implementing this action strategy has been
suggested in many great spiritual texts. The Bhavagad Gita
says, "grounded in being, perform action".
The Tao Te Ching says:
The way to use life is to do
nothing through acting,
The way to use life is to do everything through being.
When a leader knows this,
His land naturally goes straight.
"As for the actual method of
working, like all fundamental things, it is simplicity itself.
All you have to do is this: Stop thinking about the difficulty,
whatever it is, and think about God instead. This is the
complete rule, and if only you will do this, the trouble,
whatever it is, will disappear."
To expand on this concept a bit, in the
context of bringing change to structure, one can outline a desired
outcome and the ways in which this desired outcome will feel
different from the structure in need of change--our creative input
involves the formulation of this desired outcome. Once we have
defined what we want, we simply quit thinking about it and put our
consciousness in as much coherence with the super-implicate order as
we can manage.
When I do this, I notice that events conspire to show me my next
step along the path toward my desired outcome. Of course I must be
ready and willing to take that step. As I take the step I get a
sense of value fulfillment because I can see how the step is leading
me to my goal. When I am doing this, every task becomes easier and
serendipitously fortunate events often happen.
In her book, Glenda Green wrote:
"Spirit must be understood as whole,
continuous, and unbroken. Whenever a person views spirit as the
opposite of matter he has entered the world of misconception and
duality. It is not true that Earth is material and Heaven is of
the spirit. Spirit is the unity of us all, and of Heaven and
Earth. It is through the oneness of spirit that the miracle of
prayer can work. It is through the oneness of spirit that the
power of dreams, of visions, and of prophecies can work. In the
spirit we are one. Therefore in spirit we live one life, unified
in a state of brotherhood, in a state of common awareness and
seeking-either enlightenment and uplifting, or darkness and down
pulling-whichever way one chooses it to be. Regardless of how
your experience unfolds, we are of one spirit, and your
experience is shared by all.
"As a matter of fact, the greatest breakthrough of modern
physics, the one that every other discovery hinges on, was the
discovery of the unified field. Every development in modern
physics would have been impossible had that breakthrough in
consciousness not occurred. Scientists just have not realized
yet that what was discovered is the physical presence of
spirit."
I would like to help move society toward
a greater awareness of the unified field of being. As this awareness
becomes more and more widespread, structure will loose its power
over people. Since science is generally the arbiter of truth in our
