25.0 Energy Fields – General Page 1 of 11 25.0: Energy Fields - General Every object, whether living or inanimate, is comprised of atoms and is therefore endowed with an energy field. This field is a collective expression of all the individual atomic fields contained within the object. It has been known for thousands of years that crystals emit energy at different frequencies which will affect the human body in different ways: 1 The first historical references to the use of crystals come from the Ancient Sumerians, who included crystals in magic formulas. The Ancient Egyptians used lapis lazuli, turquoise, carnelian, emerald and clear quartz in their jewellery. They also carved grave amulets of the same gems. The Ancient Egyptians used stones primarily for protection and health. The human body, too, being constructed from atomic particles, has an energy field which is readily detectable both by other sensitive people and machines built for that specific purpose. This field which exists around each human being has many names; usually the ‘Aura’ or ‘Human Energy Field’. Of this field the spiritual healer and author Barbara Ann Brennan notes: 2 There are many systems that people have created from their observations to define the auric field. All these systems divide the aura into layers and define the layers by locations, colour, brightness, form, density, fluidity and function. Each system is geared to the kind of work the individual is "doing" with the aura. The two systems most similar to mine are the ones used by Jack Schwarz, which has more than seven layers and is described in his book, Human Energy Systems, and the system used by Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere of the Healing Light Centre in Glendale, California. Her system is a seven layer system, and is described in her book, Wheels of Light, A Study of the Chakras. If we scale this up a little further, then, we can see that the whole universe is comprised of objects all of which have different energy levels and therefore we can assume that the universe has a similar but much larger energy field – usually, and not surprisingly, referred to as the Universal Energy Field. An alternative name was coined by the American New Age author Gregg Braden who used the term ‘Divine Matrix’. In his book of the same name he wrote: 3 There are three more attributes that set the Divine Matrix apart from any other energy of its kind. First, it can be described as being everywhere all the time ...Second, it appears that this field originated when creation did ... The third characteristic of this field, and perhaps the one that makes it so meaningful in our lives is that it appears to have "intelligence". In other words, the field responds to the power of human emotion. Extreme emotions, both good and bad, are powerful; they generate waves of direct energy. This fact, according to Helen Wambach in her book ‘Reliving Past Lives’, we were given by a teaching spirit known as Seth who used the New York writer and trance medium Jane Roberts as a channel. Helen, one of the earliest scientific researchers into past lives and reincarnation, explained that: 4 DAJ 08/11/2019 09:28:17 25.0 Energy Fields – General Page 2 of 11 A directed emotion operates on a subatomic particle, which Seth calls the EUG, or monopole - a tiny bit of energy with one magnetic pole and a magnetic field. Emotion pulls together the monopoles, which in turn form electrons, neutrons, and so on down the line. Thus, the world of physical reality is built up from the emotional energy generated by consciousness. Perhaps this may explain, to some extent, why objects move when some extraordinary people become very emotional. This thought was brought to my mind after consideration of something Gary E. Schwartz, a professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, psychiatry, and surgery at the University of Arizona, wrote in his book ‘The Afterlife Experiments’: 5 My dear friend Paul Pearsall has suggested that gravity and ghosts share the identical conceptual problem - they can be known only indirectly through their inferred effects on objects or beings. Understanding of these types of events and the relationship of emotion to thought to energy seems to be a valuable avenue for further extensive research. Brian Weiss grew up during the time when energy fields were starting to be considered and appreciated. He was an American psychiatrist who researched into reincarnation, past life regression, future-life progression and survival of the human soul after death. The conclusion he arrived at after over 40 years of such experience was that the physical and the spiritual worlds: 6 …are connected, that all is energy. …and, during Brian’s formative years in the 1960s, the Cambridge schoolmaster and renowned mystic and spiritual writer Frederick Crossfield Happold recognised that: 7 ...scientists have now moved towards a new conception of matter, one not as something solid and indestructible, but as a concentrated form of energy. ...matter is energy, and that it is only energy that is indestructible. It was the exceptional scientist Albert Einstein who, as Sue Minns, the psychotherapist with many years' experience of past life work, recalled: 8 ...proved that energy and matter are interchangeable. Matter is simply energy that has slowed down. Scientists can readily research into aspects of life for which they can reproduce experiments and from which conclusions can be reached and verified. When dealing with animate beings, who exist as emotional beings and whose actions depend upon so many factors (thereby making each one unique), scientists have difficulty – results are not necessarily reproducible. According to Mary Carroll Nelson, the spiritual teacher Don Miguel Ruiz realised that: 9 We cannot take love into the laboratory and say 'This is love'. We do not prove that an emotion exists, but we know that love exists because we can feel it. It is not matter, but it is energy. It is energy because it exists. Everything that exists is energy. Energy cannot be destroyed. It can only be transformed. Energy has no DAJ 08/11/2019 09:28:17 25.0 Energy Fields – General Page 3 of 11 beginning and no end. This message of the indestructibility of energy has comes to us from many sources. Hazel Courteney was told by a spirit that the energy field: 10 ...emanates from the beginning of time, it has always existed. Energy never dies - it is only transformed. Linking energy and love was also a theme of the author and medium Julie Soskin who confided that: 11 Heart energy is what you call unconditional love. It is unconditional, it is not an ideal, nor is it a hope. It does exist! It is a heart-ray energy force which is the central line of balance of all forces - the middle path, the middle way. It holds the positive and negative energies of the whole cosmos. By this we do not mean the negative destructive energy, we mean the male and female energy as you understand it. It is the heart-ray that holds these forces, acting as the bridge. Peter Spink recalled that the scientist Michin Kaku said in his book ‘Hyperspace’ that he believed that: 12 …one of the deepest experiences a scientist can have, almost approaching a religious awakening, is to realise that we are children of the stars, and that our minds are capable of understanding its Universal Laws that they obey. The atoms in our bodies were forged in the anvil of nucleo-synthesis within an exploding star aeons before the birth of the solar system. Our atoms are older than the mountains. We are literally made of stardust. Now these atoms have in time coalesced into intelligent human beings capable of understanding its universal laws governing events. We have the same laws on our tiny planet as there are everywhere in the universe. We are stardust! The atoms of which we are comprised were brought into being during the creation of the universe and will continue to exist for ever. What an amazing thought. This indestructibility and connectedness of all life in the universe is not just a recent, scientific, realisation: 13 “Throughout mankind's cultural history there has existed the metaphysical concept that man and cosmos are interconnected by a ubiquitous, all-pervasive sea of energy that undergirds, and is manifest in, all phenomena. This pre-scientific concept of a cosmic energy goes by many names in many traditions, such as ch'i, ki or qi (Taoism), prana (yoga), mana (Kahuna), barakah (Sufi), élan vital (Bergsonian metaphysics), and so forth." [Hal Puthoff, Searching for the Universal Matrix in Metaphysics] This perhaps would account for many unexplained phenomena. One example would be the use of energy fields in the technique of psychometry which The New Zealand medium Jenny Crawford described as: 14 Psychometry is being able to read an object, be it a letter, jewellery, photos, houses, DAJ 08/11/2019 09:28:17 25.0 Energy Fields – General Page 4 of 11 rocks, trees, and so on from its vibrations. Another good example is dowsing; that mechanism that people down the ages have used to detect underground water, minerals, buried material, etc., may be explained by the existence of a Universal Energy Field, at least that is what Ralph Whitlock believed: 15 It seems that the only tenable theory [for dowsing working] is that the whole of Nature and of the universe should be regarded as one integral whole, and that it holds in store all possible information about itself. And dowsing is a method - imperfect and not properly understood, it is true - by which we can tap that store.
