CHAPTER 1 Promo

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.
