CHAPTER 1

WE ARE VIBRATIONAL BEINGS LIVING IN A VIBRATION UNIVERSE

There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings. -Mahatma Gandhi-

Vibration in The Universe

The noted British physicist David Bohm (1917- 1992) believed in the unseen unity of all matter. He was convinced that our thoughts are part of the unified field of the universe. Bohm was one of the first physicists to state that there is an implicate order to the universe. He also stated, based on his understanding of quantum entanglement, that our

1 thoughts are part of the collective energy in the universe. The latest research tends to support that our reality is affected by our thoughts, and our connection to the collective field of energy is present throughout the universe. In essence, we are part of that field of energy. The energy that makes up the universe is within us, as well as being all around us. So, what is this “collective field” concept that scientists keep talking about?

The Field

One of the first books I studied on the subject was Lynne McTaggart’s The Field, published originally in Great Britain in 2001. The updated version published in 2008 made its way to the market in the United States. Being fond of audio books, when I listened to it my interest was so piqued, I also bought a hard copy. I often do this so I can go back to revisit something I found interesting in the audio book and want to study more carefully.

2 At the time, there was very little available on the subject. It also held my interest because it was presented in a way that was easily understood even by readers who are not physicists. Lynne McTaggart made a pretty bold prediction in her book;

“We are on the brink of a revolution as daring and profound as Einstein’s discovery of relativity. At the very frontier of science new ideas are emerging that challenge everything, we believe about how our world works and how we define ourselves.”

It was obvious that she knew something the rest of us did not. Our awakening to these important events had barely begun, and can be compared to the meteorological conditions that form fog in the dark of night. To create fog, the amount of moisture in the air, or the dew point, must be just right, as must the air temperature. When the temperature and dew point are three degrees apart, we do not see fog. Then, as if by magic, when the temperature and dew point change by only one more degree…within two degrees of each other, something amazing happens,

3 fog appears, and we are aware that something in our world has changed. Some of us may not be aware of the scientific facts of how it happened, but we know something did happen because now we see fog all around us. Lynne McTaggart recognized that a revolution had begun, and alerted the rest of us with her book, The Field. She was aware of the changes happening in the atmosphere and knew what they would do when they came together. There were scientists before her who had also seen that the world was changing. They spoke out; trying to help us understand those universal laws and how they work. Now, years later, there are a significant number of books, recordings and videos proclaiming the facts of the interconnectedness of people and things with the universe.

Evolution of Scientific Understanding

Many scientific facts have been slow to be universally accepted. For example, very few people

4 realize that Max Planck, the German theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, and later received the Nobel Prize for it, was opposed by the scientific establishment of his day. He was very disturbed by that lack of understanding and acceptance. Later he referred to the establishment of scientists: “Science advances funeral by funeral.” I believe he was referring to the resistance that new scientific ideas face, and the time they take to gather momentum before they are generally accepted as fact. Planck’s quantum theory revolutionized human understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity revolutionized the understanding of space and time. Together they constitute the fundamental theories of 20th-century physics. Both have led humanity to revise some of its most cherished philosophical beliefs, and have brought about industrial and military applications that affect many aspects of modern life.

5 Albert Einstein, the widely hailed genius of twentieth-century physics, was very slow to be recognized. His Theory of Relativity gained very little acceptance for many years. It was his work on the photoelectric effect and his other contributions to theoretical physics that the “learned scientists” of his day objected to. Many physicists did not accept his revolutionary theories of space and time. Seventeen years later, he received the Nobel Prize for his persistence in helping his contemporaries understand his thoughts. Today, it is largely forgotten that Charles Darwin, who advanced the Theory of Evolution, endured extreme hatred from opponents who felt he was attacking the Bible’s version of creation. In the early days of this scientific revolution, the evidence of new discoveries was often incomplete. For example, when electricity was first being studied, it seldom relied on rigorous scientific experiments. Before Michael Faraday in his laboratory meticulously measuring the effects of

6 electricity, there was Benjamin Franklin experimenting with his kite in a thunderstorm. Before that, for thousands of years of people walking across carpets on dry days received electrical shocks, without knowing why. Before rigorous scientific research, there was the anecdote, the story. People’s slowness to accept new theories has not gone away. Fortunately, the time from story to scientific and common understanding is now shorter. The technology and understanding of neuroscience have advanced very rapidly, especially in the last five years. We can now measure phenomena in the brain that only a few years ago were purely speculation. As scientists measure all kinds of phenomena, our understanding of the “phenomena” evolves. Ben Franklin was able to demonstrate a natural phenomenon with his kite. From his scientific discoveries, Franklin helped us understand that the phenomenon of electricity has certain characteristics. Identifying the characteristics of phenomena is the first step to developing scientific understanding. The

7 data gathered provides important clues that can help science feel its way to a more systematic and rigorous approach, before it can lead to shifting a paradigm. Almost without noticing, the scientific revolution of Newton’s mechanistic approach, which said that the universe is like a machine, evolved into scientific understanding that the universe is not a machine and there are scientific principles that govern the universe and all things in it. The evolution from understanding quantum mechanics to creating a paradigm shift has enabled us to understand that the universe is a vibrating field of energy, and we are part of that energy field. As Albert Einstein said, “Everything in Life is Vibration."

Evolution of a Paradigm Shift

Unfortunately, at the start of a paradigm shift most scientists are not interested in conducting experiments on topics that are too far out on the cutting edge. If they do, they know they might lose

8 their funding, be unable to publish, and find their academic careers in jeopardy. It is therefore left to a brave few who are willing to risk it all, who have kept their sovereignty, and are not ruled by outside pressures such as academic institutions or restrictive grant funding practices. These souls have to explore the boundaries before others will be willing to follow. This is the key premise for taking a revolution to the point where there can be an evolution of phenomena.

The Evolution Scientific Phenomenon

What is a phenomenon? As an illustration, consider the scientific facts and data related to a conscious phenomenon like remote viewing. Remote viewing is the ability to see and sense things at a distance. The U.S. intelligence community found that only about 1% of the people they tested were capable of the consistent, high-accuracy remote viewing required for military usefulness. Many scientists believe that we all have this ability, but that some

9 have a more developed sense of it. Different remote viewers use different methods, based on their personalities. One highly successful remote viewer with numerous documented cases to his credit is Pat Price, a retired businessman who briefly served as Police Commissioner of Burbank, California. There he became aware of his natural intuitive ability, which he felt had helped him solve some police cases. In the early 1970s he teamed up with physicist Dr. Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) to explore remote viewing. In one of their many sessions with Price, in 1997 he was given coordinates to enable him to remotely view a country house in West Virginia. Price actually missed his target, but in the process discovered that when the subconscious mind was faced with a boring target, and there was a very interesting target next to it, the subconscious will choose the more interesting one.

10 Pat Price began describing a building that was quite different from the little country house that he was supposed to be viewing. He described a circular driveway and a road that passed nearby, apparently designed to be secluded and difficult to see from the air. There was a round circular aperture out front, and a flagpole, and there were underground storage facilities and storage containers. Price said lots of records were kept there. He continued to describe an amazing amount of detail. He found, in this underground facility, there were many classified compartments and top-secret filing cabinets with code names on them. When Dr. Puthoff heard this, he asked Price if he could read some of the code names on the folders in the safes. Price came up with several of them: Cueball, Flytrap, Minerva. He also read the nametags on some of the soldiers who were present. It was difficult to believe that Price had simply made up all the information. When the sponsor of the project heard about it, he decided that the session

11 must have been a failure. What Price had seen wasn’t the country house that was supposed to be his target. Thinking more about it, the sponsor drove out to the area to see if anything resembled the site Price had described. Amazingly, only a couple of miles away he found a site that was fenced off with “U.S. Government-Keep Out” signs posted around it. He went back to his superiors and began making inquiries. Eventually, he learned that it was involved in eavesdropping on Soviet satellites and that much of what Price had said about it was correct, including the code words and personnel names.

The Backster Effect

Understanding of the vibrational universe, and our connection to it, can be evidenced in another series of remarkable experiments that have become known as the Backster Effect. The Backster Effect is the ability of simpler life forms, such as plants and single cells, to respond to the thoughts, intentions and

12 actions of humans, as evidenced by electrical response and other objective measures. Cleve Backster was an expert at operating the polygraph, better known as the “lie detector.” In the early 1950’s he was involved in creating standards and procedures for the CIA to use polygraphs to investigate their personnel for security clearance. Subsequently, he directed a school that instructed police officers and security officers from all over the world in the art of using the polygraph for lie detection. In 1966, Backster had been up late one night running his school when, on an impulse, he decided to connect a house plant to his lie detector to see what it would do. Clearly a case of too much time on his hands; where does the thought come from, in the middle of the night, to hook up a lie detector machine to your house plant? But that is what he did. First, let’s understand how a polygraph works. A polygraph generates a very weak electrical current that passes through the body of the subject. It

13 measures a voltage that indicates the skin resistance. As the emotional state of the subject changes, this voltage changes, and polygraph examiners are trained to monitor this signal. Abrupt changes indicate a strong emotional reaction. Backster wondered if his houseplant, a dracaena, would have an emotional reaction that would register on his polygraph machine. He connected the electrical contacts from the polygraph to the leaf of the plant, just the way he would to the fingers of a human subject. Then he left the plant undisturbed for a while to develop a baseline recording. He then gave the plant a drink by pouring water into its pot. What he expected was that the increased water would create an increase in conductivity, which would cause the needle to rise on the polygraph. But instead, it fell with a series of jagged saw tooth motions. What he noticed is that it resembled a human response corresponding to an emotional stimulation of short duration. It caused him to

14 wonder if the plant could possibly be showing emotion. One thing that polygraph examiners are expert at is inducing emotions in their subjects. They know how to make a subject experience stress in order to monitor the emotional response. Backster’s training would have probably led him to the next level of his new experiment, in which he decided to burn one of the plant’s leaves with a match, and see how it responded. What was amazing, the moment he thought of the idea, the plant’s trace on the polygraph went wild. He had not moved, nor done anything to provoke such a response. He only formed the thought in his mind of harming the plant. It was as though the plant was reading his mind. Backster did subsequent experiments and found that the plant would respond differently if he actually intended harm, as opposed to just pretending. It seemed that the plant could distinguish between true intent from mere pretense. This experiment would

15 certainly be considered a phenomenon. There are identifiable characteristics that can be measured, and have been replicated by others dozens of times with similar results. In another remarkable series of experiments, Backster demonstrated that our cells communicate with one another, even when outside the body and separated by many miles. This experiment has been repeated many hundreds of times; the person participating in the experiment is given a sterile saline solution (salt water), which they slosh around in their mouth. The discharges are then put into several test tubes. The sloshing washes loose cells from the lining of the mouth, known as oral leukocytes, into the solution in the test tubes. They are then centrifuged, which concentrates the cells at the bottom of the test tubes. After the saline solution is removed, two golden electrodes are placed into the cells at the bottom of the test tube. The electrodes are attached to a sensitive voltmeter, which amplifies the weak signals

16 from the leukocytes. No electrical current is passed through the electrodes. Only the voltage spontaneously produced by the leukocytes is recorded. The subject watches a movie, reads a book, or engages in other activity that occasionally evokes a strong emotional response. The voltage across the cells (leukocytes) in the test tube is amplified and recorded. When the subject experiences a strong emotional response, their cells are found to exhibit a strong electrical response seen on the recording device. This phenomenon is pretty amazing by itself, but when the leukocytes are taken some distance away from the laboratory, usually many miles, the effect still occurs. This experiment has been repeated at distances of hundreds and even thousands of miles. The effect still occurs.

17 The Vibrational Universe Connecting with Us

In another amazing example of this phenomenon, the donor of some leukocytes had been in the U.S. Navy stationed at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack at the start of World War II. He served as a gunner during his naval wartime experience. For this experiment, he watched the movie entitled, The World at War. During the only facial close-up of a naval gunner in action against enemy aircraft, his leukocytes responded with a strong voltage pulse. This was the only scene in the movie that related closely to his direct wartime experience. Later, when he was questioned, the subject confirmed that this one scene had a powerful effect upon him because he too had been a naval gunner in that war. Other scientists including Dr. Marcel Vogel, a senior research chemist at the IBM Advanced Systems Development Division Laboratory, have confirmed Backster’s work. Vogel added to the quality of the

18 research by recommending that quieting the mind before the experiment played a significant role in the quality of the vibrational communication between the person and their leukocyte cells. René Descartes pretty much dismissed the idea that the mind influences the physical character of the body. His belief was that the body is made out of matter, and the mind is made out of an unidentifiable immaterial substance. Since Descartes could not identify the nature of the mind, he believed that only matter could affect matter, and was stumped as to how the immaterial mind could be connected to a material body. Our knowledge of quantum physics and neuroscience has helped us to understand that a little better, but we still have a long way to go for more complete knowledge on that subject. I would also include the definition of PSI. The word 'psi' is pronounced, “sigh”. Psi refers to a wide range of fascinating and controversial phenomena that include ESP (mind reading) extrasensory perception, psychokinesis (mind over matter), psychic healing

19 and precognition. I mention these terms as phenomena that have been researched and offer data that is scientifically valid to confirm their existence. Let it suffice for now that they are real phenomena that exist, the laws and principles that guide them are real, and have been applicable through all time and space.

ESP – Extrasensory Perception

Extrasensory Perception refers to the ability to receive information by means of telepathy, precognition or clairvoyance. At the Princeton PEAR Lab, through thousands of experiments, it was found that remote viewing and ESP transmission and reception appear to be independent of distance. In other words, they can be transmitted and received from one room to another, and just as easily transmitted and received to the other side of the universe. This makes them very different from electromagnetic or gravitational signals, which

20 weaken and lose effectiveness with the square of the distance. Physics Professor Robert G. Jahn explains, “All forces known in physics, like gravity for example, diminish with distance. And no forces in physics operate freely across time like this. It’s as if consciousness is somehow able to direct its influence directly across space and time, an understanding that certainly poses a challenge to science”.

The NASA ESP Experiments

Captain Edgar Mitchell, Ph.D., NASA Astronaut and the sixth man in history to walk on the moon, wrote of his experiences in space in his book The Way of the Explorer. Mitchell was curious about ESP and telepathy long before he set foot on the lunar surface. In his book, he gives a personal account of the ESP experiment performed in the Apollo 14 spacecraft. The mission to the moon was complete; now all they had to do was get home safely. Crammed into their tiny vessel were the three NASA astronauts: Mission Commander Alan Shepard, the first American ever to go into space back in 1961, Command Module

21 Pilot Stuart Roosa and Lunar Module Pilot Dr. Edgar Mitchell. Dr. Mitchell was an engineering graduate of Carnegie Institute of Technology and the Naval Postgraduate School, with a Ph.D. from M.I.T. in aeronautics and astronautics. He had flown fighter jets off aircraft carriers in the nineteen fifties, and served as a research pilot for the Air Development Squadron. He graduated first in his class from the Air Force Research Pilot School, and had later been an instructor there.

“Extrasensory Perception is not a matter of belief. There is a great deal of serious scientific work being done in it, and it has been established over the last thirty years that it is a matter of probability, and the probabilities have been established beyond chance. I think it is important work. I happen to be curious about it, and thus far have been pursuing it for many years. This happened to be an opportunity [Apollo 14 Lunar Mission] to do another little step – a piece in the scientific puzzle of what man’s all about.” - Apollo 14 Astronaut Captain Edgar Mitchell

22 As the astronauts settled in for the long trip home from the lunar landing, Mitchell began a secret experiment he had not mentioned to the others on board the spacecraft before now. He pulled out a piece of paper containing images of a deck of cards, each bearing a strange design. The images were chosen in random order. One by one, he began concentrating on the cards, visualizing each image as intensely as he could. He had arranged for several psychic “receivers” back on earth to tell which card he had picked. He repeated the experiment many times during the long ride home, conducting the longest distance ESP test ever carried out. The aim was to test whether it was possible to send a psychic message across the vacuum of space, across 200,000 miles to human receivers on earth. When he got back, he compared his cards to the choices made by his psychics on the ground. The experiment was not perfect because, due to the rigors of his schedule aboard the spacecraft, he had

23 not been able to perform all the tests, nor perform them at regular time intervals. Nevertheless, there were over 200 cards selected in sequence and transmitted mentally during the test, and the accuracy rate was well above chance. Two of the four subjects correctly guessed 51 sequences, “far exceeded anything expected.” The odds of these results being due to chance alone were 1 in 3,000. Therefore, it was considered a significant and successful demonstration. Subsequent papers were published in a scientific journal, in June 1971 Journal of Parapsychology.

Of this experiment Mitchell later said:

“To me the paranormal event now has been sufficiently well established, using classical techniques, to prove to anyone who desires to study a little bit that these events are real. I’m trying to get the world of science to awaken itself to the world of consciousness…If you have a mule and you want him to do something, the first thing you have to do is get his attention, and that usually takes a two-by-four between the ears. In my opinion, forcing the

24 scientific community to look at the so-called paranormal or psychic event in its reality is a two- by-four between the ears.”

These statements acknowledge some of the long- distance ESP experiments conducted by the U.S. space program. Adrian Clark, a NASA rocket scientist involved in Skylab and Apollo 5, confirms that Mitchell did indeed participate in successful ESP transmission experiments when aboard Apollo 14. One of the key telepathic receivers on the ground was the well-known psychic Olof Jonsson, who participated in numerous scientific studies of his psychic ability. He was able to pick the correct sequences being sent by ESP in a high percentage of the trials in which he was involved.

Edgar Mitchell became so impressed by the positive results of these experiments that, after retiring from the space program, he established a national organization to study psychic phenomena. It is called the Institute for Noetic Sciences and is still

25 active in research studies today. Of his continuing effort in ESP research, Mitchell said: “I’m one of those guys that if I happen to get a glimmer…that there’s something in it for real, even though we may not know the answer, I’m a bulldog. And I’m bound and determined to get good solid evidence, and good theory, and good fact. And hang onto the wheat and throw away the chaff. But I don’t mind wading in and looking at it. And I’ve done that for over 30 years, because I knew I was on to something.”

The former Soviet space program has also conducted long-range ESP experiments in space. An excerpt from a 1972 Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report says, “In 1967, the Soviet Maritime News reported, “Cosmonauts, when in orbit, seem to be able to communicate telepathically more easily with each other than with people on earth. A psi (short for psychic faculty) training system has been incorporated in the cosmonaut training program,” but the News provided no further details. Some informal reports related to Ostrander and Schroeder indicate that the Soviets are working on psi systems for space use, involving not just telepathy, but also

26 precognition.

The U.S. Army became interested in ESP when they analyzed field data from Vietnam suggesting that certain soldiers may be able to psychically sense the presence of the enemy, thereby avoiding ambush. According to Dr. Ken Kress, a CIA officer who oversaw the early remote viewing program research.

“The Army Material Command learned of CIA interest in the paranormal. We discovered the Army interest was generated by data, which emerged from Vietnam. Apparently certain individuals called point men, who led patrols into hostile territory, had far fewer casualties from booby traps and ambushes than the average. These point men, needless to say, had a following of loyal men and, in general, greatly helped the morale of the troops under a brutal, stressful situation. The Army gave extensive physical and psychological tests to a group of unusually successful point men and came to no conclusion other than perhaps that paranormal capabilities may be the explanation.”

Professor H. J. Eysenck, Chairman of the Psychology Department at the University of London, wrote in 1957:

“Unless there is a gigantic conspiracy involving some thirty University departments all over the

27 world, and several hundred highly respected scientists in various fields, many of them originally hostile to the claims of the psychical researchers, the only conclusion the unbiased observer can come to must be that there does exist a small number of people who obtain knowledge existing either in other people’s minds, or in the outer world, by means as yet unknown to science.”

Extrasensory perception (ESP) has undergone scientific testing since the 1930s. Contrary to what the public has been told, ESP has been thoroughly demonstrated in the lab. It has been subjected to rigorous statistical tests and proven as a scientific fact. Many laboratories have conducted the experiments carefully over an eighty-year period. The statistics are valid; the results have been replicated many times over. Even now, some of this work is beginning to appear in the mainstream physics and biological scientific journals. Since the 1940s there have been 142 published articles describing 3.6 million trials using 4,600 separate participants.

28 The ability to use the mind for effective use of intention, prayer, and visualization to bring about change in the physical world is not a new idea. It is as old as mankind. What is new is the scientific evidence that it actually works, that “thoughts are things” and that the intentions, hopes and dreams of the mind, if held with persistence and intensity, can change the world.

Psychokinesis – Mind Over Matter

A definition of Psychokinesis or “PK” would be the ability to move or affect objects or living beings at a distance without touching them, involving only mental and psychic interaction.

Many people who were alive in the 1970s have heard of Uri Geller. He demonstrated psychokinesis on many occasions, for the likes of President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalyn, Henry Kissinger, the President of Mexico Lopez Portillo, and rocket scientist Dr. Werner Von Braun, just to name a few.

29 In 1975, I met Uri Geller at an U.S. Armed Forces radio and television facility in Stuttgart, Germany. At the time I was a television producer for the U.S. Air Force, stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Geller’s reputation was growing, and public interest in the psychokinesis phenomena was misunderstood but also growing.

I was skeptical when I heard about this guy that could bend keys with his mind. Like many others, I thought there had to be some kind of trick. A demonstration had been arranged with a few rules attached. As a television studio we had the luxury of being able to position cameras and lights in the manner that would give us the best view of the demonstration. We placed one camera at the opposite end of the table, facing where Uri Geller would be sitting. Another camera was mounted on a boom dolly to provide a view from above, looking down onto the table. The third was placed to show the

30 underside of the table, in a position that gave a clear view of Geller’s hands.

A rule imposed on the demonstration required that he could not touch the table with his hands, legs, or any other part of his body. He was required to suspend his hands in the air, forward of his body, touching nothing.

The television studio in Stuttgart was somewhat notorious; during World War II, the building had been used as a Nazi SS headquarters. It is an opulent building, with beautiful mahogany wood paneling and hand carvings at every turn on the staircase leading to the upper level offices. Below the main floor, there was a catacomb of rooms and bunkers to house and protect the officers and staff that used the facility during WWII. Each room in the catacomb had a large, heavy metal door. These doors had locks; and the locks had keys. The keys were no longer being used, and were kept in a very large box, all thrown in together. When Allied forces took over

31 the facility at the end of the war, for security reasons, they changed all the locks …not knowing who in the town might have unaccounted for keys.

From the large box I selected six flat, heavy-duty, sturdy looking keys. Even though we were only going to use three keys during the demonstration, I selected six. The keys remained in my pocket until it was time for the demonstration to begin. I can testify that at no time did Uri Geller ever touch the keys that I had in my possession. I also had three envelopes tucked into the inside pocket of the blazer that I would be wearing during the interview. I can also testify that at no time did Uri Geller handle the envelopes prior to the demonstration.

With everything set, we turned on the lights, rolled the videotape to begin the interview and demonstration. On the set I exchanged pleasantries with Uri Geller as he gave his explanation of psychokinesis - mind over matter. Mr. Geller seemed quite comfortable with our skepticism and

32 was most professional, with an agreeable disposition and manner. I don’t think that I was quite prepared for what happened next.

I laid out three keys approximately eighteen inches apart. The part of the key that you hold to insert it into the lock was furthest away from where Geller was sitting, the narrow end of the key pointed directly at him. I took the three envelopes out of my pocket and placed each one above the widest part of a key. Inside each envelope was a drawing that I had made prior to Mr. Geller’s arrival. They were simple stick figure drawings with four items to a page. All eyes were focused on the first key, slightly to the left of Mr. Geller. Uri put his hands out in front of his body, holding them approximately five to six inches above his legs as we had requested. Mr. Geller’s chair was approximately eighteen to twenty-four inches back from the edge of the table. The television cameras showed a precise view from each

33 angle that he was in no way making contact with the table the keys were sitting on.

The first key began to vibrate slightly. At that instant, he thoroughly had my attention. I wondered how this could be possible? Astonishment is too tame a word for what filled my mind as I watched the narrow end of the key begin to curl up from the table. Slowly, it curled until it was at a forty-five-degree angle. I looked at Geller, then back at the key, and then back to Geller. I could not believe what my eyes were seeing. He didn’t break a sweat, he made no sound, and he made no movement at all. He just had an intent focus on each key as he moved his gaze from the first to the second key, then on to the third. Each key in turn would begin to vibrate and then by some unknown force would curl to a forty-five- degree angle.

After he succeeded in bending all three keys, in a process that took only about seven minutes…he was given a pad of paper to draw what he believed was

34 inside each envelope. Taking the paper tablet from him I placed it on the table so that the overhead camera could clearly show what he had drawn. One- by-one I opened each envelope and placed my drawing next to the paper containing Mr. Geller’s depiction.

At the moment I took the pages from Uri to place it on the table, I was the only person in the studio who knew what the result of this part of the demonstration would be. I could see that each of his drawings was exactly like my drawing as each envelope was opened. There were no words to describe what I had just witnessed. To this day, I am still amazed. I saw it with my own eyes, and realized that there was some amazing force in the universe. I wanted to learn more about it.

Uri Geller’s fame grew further over the years, and so did the controversy about whether it was a trick of some kind. Sometimes the spoon bent on its own, and Geller was nowhere around. One very well

35 witnessed event occurred in 1983 at a “spoon bending” party held by some highly respected military officers who were familiar with the U.S. Army’s remote viewing program. Among these were Major General Albert Stubblebine, the U.S. Army Commander of INSCOM, and Major General Edmund Thompson, Deputy Director for Management and Operations, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIAO). Also present was Deputy Director of the CIA John McMahon: “General Thompson watches as his own spoon began to curve down at the point, he was holding it, down and around as if it were melting in his hands. John McMahon’s spoon bent too. By the time all the psychokinesis had stopped the deputy director’s spoon looked vaguely like a corkscrew. He went into the CIA headquarters the next day and told some of his friends and aides about it.”

In 1986, at a dinner party hosted by the wife of the President of Mexico, Lopez Portillo, President Jimmy Carter’s wife Rosalynn shared a table with

36 Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Uri Geller. At the same table was also the American Ambassador to Mexico and the son of President Ford.

During the dinner, Mrs. Carter wanted to see a demonstration of spoon bending. Geller had Mrs. Carter hold the spoon while he lightly stroked it with one finger. It soon began to curl upward in the usual manner, and Mrs. Carter was delighted. Then Geller took his hand away completely, and the guests watched in astonishment as the spoon continued to bend until there was a right-angle bend in it. “Oh, my!” said Mrs. Carter. “I wish my friends could see this. I must show it to Jimmy.”

Kissinger and Geller had their own little experiment at their dinner table. Uri asked Kissinger to draw something on his napkin in secret, and then, keeping it hidden from him, facing Geller and stare into his eyes. As he did, Geller described the drawing

37 perfectly. Kissinger recoiled in alarm and ordered Geller not try to read his mind for any secrets.

The most convincing aspect of Geller’s spoon bending ability is that it did not require Geller at all. People soon discovered that spoon bending is a teachable skill, and that many people can do it. They just followed Geller’s instructions, relaxed and sent “energy” into some part of the spoon. Then they were to visualize the spoon bending. At a certain moment a “softening” of the spoon would occur and it could be easily bent. Some spoons were twisted up like a pretzel, when under normal conditions it would take all of one’s might to make one simple bend.

Literally thousands of ordinary people found they could bend spoons at parties such as this. Some gifted individuals such as aerospace engineer Dr. Jack Houck, have led hundreds of such spoon bending parties across the country, removing any doubt from those that engaged in spoon bending is something very real. It is not due to trickery. It tells

38 me something important about human potential, and it tells us that there are some things that science is only now beginning to explain. “Geller has bent my ring in the palm of my hand without ever touching it. Personally, I have no scientific explanation for the phenomenon.”

Electrical Measurements During Psychokinesis

In 1993, Dr. Elmer Green of the Menninger Clinic constructed a laboratory in which talented PK subjects were electrically isolated from the walls and floor. There were instruments to measure any emissions of electrical charge or voltage, which would be trapped by metal plates.

The energy issues surrounding psychokinesis were a great curiosity to Elmer Green. He wanted to understand the mechanism behind it, and wondered whether it consisted of charges of electricity, or some other form of energy? And how much voltage or charge was produced in a PK event?

Green found that people capable of PK were able to generate very large voltages in their body, and to

40 project beams of this energy to distances of several feet. Subjects were selected from a group of people who were identified as “energy healers,” or “Qigong masters,” who had demonstrated this ability to “project” energy.

For example, in one experiment an electrode attached to each earlobe revealed unusually high voltages when the Qigong master attempted to project energy. Instead of 0.010 volts to 0.015 volts, a typical range for normal adults, the earlobe voltage measured as high as 30 volts up to 300 volts. This is over 10,000 times the normal value.

In another experiment, during a single thirty-minute healing session, a healer produced fifteen large voltage pulses, each greater than 30 volts. Also measured were voltage pulses from the healer of 30 to 50 volts, with voltage changes at the wall capturing the energy in fractions of a volt. Measurements revealed that the majority of energy pulses, thirteen out of fifteen, originated at the

41 second chakra of the subject. The second chakra represents sexuality, creativity, finances, personal power, relationships, sensuality, and pleasure. This is commonly identified as the dan tien, in the vicinity of the navel.

Qigong masters are taught to build up and store their “energy” before projecting it. This technique is consistent with explanations given by oriental healers. It is believed that these large voltage changes are due to “subtle energy.” Subtle energy is defined as, but not limited to the following: David Bohm says, “One or more forms of energy that does not appear to be within the electromagnetic spectrum. Unknown at this time is the interaction or the impact that subtle energies have on measurable electromagnetic forces, nuclear energy and/or atomic bonds, gravitational effects, or mass.” Some described energy forms or systems which furnish partial or limited descriptions of subtle energy are: chi, ki, prana, the force, love, kundalini, orgone,

42 space energy, zero-point energy, aura field energy, energy of thought, energy of consciousness, spiritual energy, life-force energy, energy of intention, and intuition.

Subtle energy appears to be compatible with the theories of Quantum Physics and may not be equated with Newtonian conceptions of “force” and “work. “

Forms of subtle energy have been identified in a variety of cultures around the world. The Polynesians call it mana, the Iroquois Indians call it orendo, the Souix (Lakota) call it waken or wakonda, in North Africa it is known as Baraka, the ancient Greeks knew it as pneuma.

Traditional healers in those cultures, as well as Chinese doctors, Hindu yogis, shaman and medicine men from many countries practice controlling and balancing this energy in their patients. The hidden traditions of many mystics also include the practice

43 of consciously manipulating this energy and have developed it to a fine skill.

New discoveries are proving that this energy is real. Korean scientists have identified and photographed the tiny channels called acupuncture meridians that are fundamental to Oriental medicine, and which carry this energy throughout the body. Russian and Eastern European physicists have demonstrated in the laboratory that this energy obeys certain laws that are unlike those applied to any other force. They have developed mathematical equations describing its behavior, and even applied it to new patents and inventions.

Psychic Healing

Through the study of subtle energy, we are learning that it is central to life and an essential component of our existence and well-being. Bruno Gruening was a German mystic who gave lectures on faith healings in the 1940s and 1950s after World War II. He said,

44 “I don’t tell you anything new. I just want to inform you about the most important thing in life if you have forgotten. There is a higher force, which you can’t see, but it exists and helps and heals. Everyone can easily absorb it. God sends this force for everybody, regardless of their religion. It is the divine or healing power. You can call it “Life Energy.” I call it the “Healing Energy.” If you get to know the forgotten laws of this force again, you can use it for free at any time and place for your personal health and benefit.

“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” - Jesus, The Bible, Matthew, 10:8

Bruce Lipton, author of the award-winning book “The Biology of Belief” and former medical school professor says:

“As admiring as I am of the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine, I do not want to bash Western doctors who prescribe massive quantities of drugs that contribute to the health profession’s lethality. Medical doctors are caught between an intellectual rock and a corporate hard place; they are pawns in the huge medical industrial complex. Their healing abilities are hobbled by an archaic medical education founded on a Newtonian, matter-only universe. It is evidence that the massive quantities of drugs prescribed in this country violate the

45 Hippocratic oath taken by all doctors to ‘First, do no harm.

There are two kinds of miraculous healing. The first is so rapid that it may be called instant healing. In a matter of seconds, or most minutes, the diseased or deformed parts or tissues of the body are changed to healthy normal ones.” Max Freedom Long spent decades in Hawaii studying kahunas, the shaman and “spiritual supermen” who for thousands of years have provided traditional guidance and healing to the Hawaiian people. In his writings he explains that some illnesses are healed instantly, sometimes leaving no trace of the injury, not even a visible scar. Some healers explain this by saying that through deep meditation they take the client into an alternative reality, a parallel universe, in which that injury never occurred.

Max Long recounts that at a beach party, a man stepped out of his car, somewhat intoxicated, then

46 tripped and fell. There was a characteristic snapping sound of bones breaking, and close inspection showed a compound fracture above the right ankle, with bone pressing out against the skin. Amid calls to get the man to a hospital right away, an elderly Kahuna woman knelt beside him, straightened the foot and leg, and pressed her hands on the break as she began a low chanting. After a few minutes of this prayer, she stood and told the man “Stand up. You can walk.” Long recounts, “The injured man, now entirely sobered, rose wonderingly to his feet, took a step and then another. The healing was complete and perfect. The leg showed no indication of the break in any way.

Long points out that while such “miraculous” healings are reported in every culture, in most cultures the events are rare, while among the Kahunas, they are the expected result. Long’s research explains the Kahunas say that such healing involves three levels of “reality.” At the highest is a

47 High-Self which has a high mentality and the ability to affect the healing. This may be similar to our mental causal body, which maintains a record of the ideal form of the being. It is a form of energetic template maintained at a higher dimensional level. At the intermediate level, there is the “high voltage of vital force or mana,” that enables the High-Self to effect changes at the physical level. This is another name for subtle energy, in the Indian culture called prana (a Sanskrit word for life force). The Japanese identify it as Ki, while the Chinese call it Chi. It serves as the bridge between the physical level and the higher dimensions. At the lowest level, there are the body tissues of the injured person. The physical body together with the other two levels creates a lower dimensional holographic form which maintains growth and repair. The lower dimensional template is often called the etheric body, and contains detailed information about every cell in the body.

48 Dr. Bruce Lipton explains that it was only 700 million years ago that single cells found it advantageous to join together in tightly knit multicellular communities, organizations we recognize as plants and animals. By tightly regulating the release and distribution of these function-controlling signal molecules, the community of cells could coordinate their functions and act as a single life form. The flow of signals within the community of cells provided an elementary “mind,” represented by the coordinating information shared by every cell. In such organisms, each cell directly reads environmental cues and adjusts its own behavior. Dr. Lipton goes on to explain, as more complex animals evolved, specialized cells took over the job of monitoring and organizing the flow of behavior regulating signal molecules. These cells provided a distributed nerve network and central information processor - a brain. The brain’s function is to coordinate the dialogue of signal molecules within the community. He teaches

49 us that in a community of cells, each cell must cede control to the informed decisions of its awareness authority, the brain. This is important to point out, as we tend to blame the cells of our organs and tissues for the health issues we experience.

The real issue is that the information communicated within the community of cells is dysregulated and out of balance. Our thoughts are part of the vibrational communication that is so vital to our well-being. Thought is the fuel that drives the system to either be in alignment and healthy, or be misaligned and dysregulated, leading to disease and poor health.

Changes in Brainwave (EEG) Patterns in Distant Healing

Dr. Norm Shealy in 2001 conducted experiments with healing energy at a distance. Interestingly, he found that the brainwave patterns of the healer and the recipient begin to resemble one another. The recipient in his experiments was located at distances

50 ranging from 100 feet to 160 miles from the healer. Six healers and 110 recipient subjects were used, with the recipients unaware when the healing would begin. Brainwave patterns were measured for resting baseline periods before the healing period began, as well as during and after periods of healing.

Dr. Shealy commented, “In all instances, there were moderate to quite striking changes in the subjects’ EEG, usually occurring within the first five minutes of sending the healing energy, but sometimes appearing most dramatic twenty minutes after the completion of the healing. Almost always there was a marked increase in delta activity in all areas of the brain, with less significant increases in theta and alpha activity…It appears that human mental intent to heal, especially by trained healers, is transmitted through space from over 100 feet to 160 miles.”

Shealy’s brainmap reports show an elevation of delta activity in the range of 1-3 Hz - frequencies that are often associated with, as some call it “the unconsciousness.” Others refer to it as the collective conscious or the morphogenic field. Dr. Shealy explains that it is unusual to find strong delta waves

51 in the EEG’s of subjects who are awake, and concludes that a substantial increase in delta waves is significant. He believes that it shows that the healers had a powerful effect on the brainwaves of the recipients.

For 50 of the recipients, the healer was directed to send energy to a specific part of the brain, first the frontal area, and later to areas at the back. The targeted area of the brain showed a much higher level of EEG activity. His researchers concluded that healing effectiveness worked over the entire range of distances, and did not seem to diminish with distance.

According to Sugano, et. al. the pattern of brainwave activity in the healer and the recipient are similar during the healing session, which shows that they are energetically linked. He explains, “It was found that a healer caused changes in the activity of [acupuncture] meridians, increase in corona discharge of leaves [Kirlian photography], and synchronous changes in the EEG

52 of both a healer and a receiver during healing. The origin of healing energies has not been elucidated yet, but the existence of subtle energy is demonstrated.”

Four kinds of physiological change were measured during healing sessions: 1. Changes in the consciousness of the subject, as measured by his brainwave patterns on EEG;

2. Changes in autonomic function such as pulse rate and blood pressure;

3. Changes in acupuncture meridians, as measured by the AMI device. This measures conductivity and other aspects of the acupuncture meridian system;

4. Changes in Kirilian photography images of leaves that are the target of energy healing.

It was found that during healing, the energy in both the healer and the recipient increases dramatically. This in itself is strong evidence of linkage. Sugano

53 suggests that the energy patterns in the healer and recipient become synchronized, and that this shows that remote energy healing is occurring. He says the basic pattern of the recipient mirrors that of the healer.

After the healing session, the alpha energy in the brain of the recipient is much more evenly distributed, with the hemispheres of the brain being brought closer to balance. Sugano adds that the distribution of energy in the healer’s brain and the recipient’s brain are now very similar in magnitude as well as frequency and spatial distribution. Both are strongest in the center of the brain, and are nearly balanced between left and right hemispheres. Another interesting occurrence is that the recipients become drowsy during the healing session. Considering the findings of Dr. Shealy, the elevation in delta activity may account for the drowsiness. Sugano says, “As seen in the EEG experiments, subtle energies are not influenced by shielding nor distance. This

54 fact presently cannot be explained by the traditional sciences.”

Precognition Another phenomenon worth mentioning is Precognition, the act of becoming aware of something before it actually occurs. There are many documented cases of precognition, such as when a vision of the future occurs in a dream, a meditation, a prayer, or sometimes in an altered state like a near- death experience.

Dr. Dean Radin conducted a series of experiments to test whether an individual is capable of going into the future to detect what his or her emotion would be at a later time. He devised an experiment where the individual, identified as the “operator,” was shown a series of pictures. Some were very calming, others were arousing, either of a violent or sexual nature. The individual was connected to instruments that measure physiological response to each types of picture.

55 A focal point of the experiment was that the pictures were selected randomly. The viewer did not know whether the next picture would be calm, violent or sexual. Yet the subject’s response, as recorded by the instruments, showed them responding as though they knew what the picture would be. In other words, the subject responded as though they were already viewing the picture. If the next picture was a calming one, the subject would begin calming down a couple of seconds before seeing it. Likewise, if the next picture was going to be arousing, the subject began reacting appropriately before the picture appeared.

In part of the experiment, a random generator selected the picture at the instant it was shown. Even in these cases, the subject began reacting several seconds before he was shown the picture. At that moment, the picture had not yet been selected, even by the computer, yet the subject’s response was correct for the picture shown. His body reacted as if

56 it knew which picture had been selected, even though the random generator had not yet made a selection.

Radin conducted extensive statistical tests to ensure that the data were not biased and could not be explained by coincidence. He found the probability that coincidence could explain the results to be about eight parts in a thousand. His work has been replicated by other researchers, who concluded that the subjects responded precognitively to the pictures. Therefore, the “effect” of their emotional response preceded the “cause,” which was the photograph.

The uncertainties of quantum mechanics are considered in “chaos theory.” Often the term is shortened to just “chaos.” Chaos is when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future. Chaotic behavior can be observed in many natural systems, such as weather.

57 Thought is part of consciousness, and each of these phenomena involves the process of thought. In 1926, Walter Russell published a book that was revolutionary for its time, and has become evolutionary to the scientific process being understood and practiced today. Many of the ideas he presented in his writings have since come to be validated by science. He wrote,

“To think in light is not a new power being developed by evolving man. It is a power, which is now within him awaiting only his knowledge of the use of that power. It is merely the recognition by man of his absolute control of the many dimensions of the universal constant of the energy which constitutes the thinking process of Mind exactly as he can control the changing speeds of his motor car.”

The Nature of Wave Patterns

For a long time we accepted that Descartes’ beliefs about the universe in Traité de l'homme (Treatise on Man) (1664) and Passions de l'âme (Passions of the Soul) (1649) were considered to be accurate.

58 Namely, that the universe is a plenum (the state or a space in which a gas, usually air, is contained at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure) in which no vacuum could exist. Descartes believed that matter had no inherent qualities, but was simply the "brute stuff" which occupied space. He divided reality into the res cognitas (consciousness, mind) and res extensa (matter, extension).

However, scientists in physics, neuroscience and biology have put these disjointed pieces back together, giving us a new understanding of the universe’s mechanics; explaining how the physical body can be affected by what is suggested to be the immaterial mind. I love Dr. Bruce Lipton’s explanation of how the quantum universe reconnects what Descartes took apart. He explains that thoughts are the mind’s energy; they directly influence how the physical brain controls the body’s physiology. Thought energy can activate or inhibit the cell’s

59 function-producing proteins via the mechanics of biology.

Vibrational Output to The Field

Our senses: seeing, touching, tasting, smelling, and hearing are interpreters of vibration. Our brain interprets those vibrations and adds meaning and emotion to our experiences. When you taste a piece of chocolate your tongue determines whether it is sweet, bitter or sour. We then decide if it good, pleasurable, that we like it or dislike it. Some of our other senses join in and we recognize what chocolate looks like. Our sense of smell records what it smells like so when we are at an ice-skating rink and catch a whiff of hot chocolate in the air, we might instantly get a craving to go get a cup.

These vibrational experiences are interpreted and recorded in our brain for future reference. That is part of how we learn. We translate those vibrations into our experience of reality. As energy beings, without

60 our senses interpreting those vibrations we would not be able to expand or grow. Whether we know it or not, our perception of our reality is constantly changing. A great many of us continue to do the same things again and again. We tend to do the things that are familiar to us. Our growth and expansion depend on our ability to use our curiosity for the things around us. Sometimes we forget to use our desire and how to focus our intention with our thoughts to manifest new things in our life. Most of humanity limits their personal change to creating the same thing, feeling the same feelings, following our daily routine to the letter each and every day. By doing so we keep getting what we have always gotten. Not realizing that the vibrations we experience, interpret and record in our brain and in the cells of our body continue to produce the same results. Vibrationally, what we put out there is what comes back to us. The Law of Attraction is very, very consistent in that way. Because it is so consistent, we can count on it.

61 That also means that it is not about what someone else is doing, it is about what YOU are doing.

Here is a shocker for you…most of your vibrational output into the field is based on our experiences. We need to stop blaming everybody else for what our reality is or is not. No one can vibrate for us. No one can perceive for us. No one can focus for us. No one else is responsible for your reality and how you are living it. Other people might influence you to make different choices; but no one can vibrate for you or create your reality. Only you can do that. Your reality is congealing around your vibration. That vibration has formed into your individual perception and experience; even if many people are experiencing the same thing. The lesson here is stop blaming anyone else for your reality. Stop blaming anyone else for the conditions that you were born into or the fact that you never had the opportunity for the kind of education you wanted. Stop blaming others for your lack of money. The only reason you live a life of lack

62 is simply because that has been deeply rooted into your belief system. Remember, a belief is nothing more than a thought you continue to have over and over. The tough part of this lesson is that we continue to allow those beliefs or the influences from others to dictate the reality that we are willing to settle for ourselves. Basically, we are creating by default. We have not yet become deliberate thinkers and are not in command of our own thoughts. The tail is wagging the dog instead of the other way around. As we continue to focus on what we have instead of what we desire, focusing on the problem instead of the solution we continue to create a jumbled desire that is compromised by our negative beliefs. That is what is transmitted into the field and that is why we get inconsistent results.

You get what you think about. Ask yourself, do I think purposefully? Could I command thought energy to the level that Uri Geller did in order to bend keys or spoons? We all have the ability to use the

63 laws of the universe in ways that others have, commanding that powerful energy that fills the universe. The question is will we? If you are mostly observing what is happening to you in the here and now, then you are not likely to change much nor will you effectively use your ability to manifest that which you desire. Remember, we are vibrational beings living in a vibrational universe and we are vibrationally connected to everything and everyone. In the next chapter we will explore the scientific principles to increase our understanding that we are truly connected to everyone and everything and how to begin the process to be more in command of our own thoughts.
