EXPLORING THE HEART AND AETHER IN ENERGY MEDICINE

by Karl Maret, M.D., M.Eng.

ABSTRACT

The heart is presented as the energetic center of the human subtle energy system that plays a coordinating role in human physiology beyond its accepted role as a cardiovascular pump. As the body’s most dynamic field integrator of life energy, the heart plays a formative role in the creation of the new paradigm of energy medicine. This paper explores the role of the heart in cardiovascular functioning, healing, cognition and subtle energy modulation. Water and blood are shown to play a central role in mediating conscious - ness and intention. A hypothesis is presented that the heart utilizes diverse subtle energy and electro - magnetic regulatory processes to coordinate complex information flows within the body and the environ - ment. A new model of a non-material higher-dimensional Planck aether developed by Klaus Volkamer is presented based on research of anomalous mass determinations with subtle energy detectors. The heart becomes a metaphor for the new synthesis between science and spirit that was the theme of the 2009 ISSSEEM conference.

Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine • Volume 20 • Number 1 • Page 54 for new understanding when only 1/25 th of what we can directly quantify with our scientific instruments can be incorporated into our accepted scientific theories.

Let us start with the sun. From an esoteric perspective, the sun is the nearest great heart of the macrocosm. It is the origin of all our life force. Once we sent the two Pioneer spacecraft past the sun, we started to discover an undulating heliospheric Figure 1. Warped current sheet of the sun current sheet, the largest structure in the solar system, shown in Figure 1. It results from the influence of the sun’s rotating magnetic field on the in the interplanetary medium (called the solar wind). Figure 2 shows this spiraling pattern associated with the sun, as seen from above, resembling the yin yang symbol of ancient Chinese cosmology. The ancient Taoists, however, saw these matters with their inner sight, not with outwardly directed scientific instruments.

Scientists have recognized that sunspot cycles are about eleven years long, as seen in Figure 3. You can think of this as an Figure 2. Sun’s rotating plasma sheet out eleven-year cosmic heartbeat of increasing to two astronomical units and decreasing magnetic activity. We are at a low point in this cycle right now, with few visible sunspots forming. Scientists had predicted that the current cycle (Cycle 24) was expected to have even greater magnetic activity than the last sun cycle that peaked in 2000. Paradoxically, the sun is at this time (July 2009) unusually quiescent, in fact abnormally so. It actually feels like the calm before an approaching storm. Something big is potentially going to shift by 2012. It includes, of course, the ending Figure 3. 10.7 cm flux from sun showing eleven-year solar rhythm Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine • Volume 20 • Number 1 • Page 55 Figure 4.

The according to Spanish anatomist Francisco heart’s field may play a significant role in Torrent-Guasp structuring the energetic matrix of the body with complex information flow, which I will illustrate further in this presentation.

The heart’s muscle fibers join together in sheets of dynamic spiraling bands. There are seven different layers of heart muscle cells, so that gives us again an interesting correlation. The heart fibers in the ventricle have a spiraling form (Figure 9), with the papillary muscles linked to the valves being connected to the apex or lower pole of the heart. The Spanish anatomist Francisco Torrent-Guasp (1931-2005) dissected the heart along the internal planes of heart fascia. This makes it apparent that the heart muscle forms a complex topology, a kind of knot, which unrolls to form a large contin - uous band, seen in Figure 10 (Aguilar 2005).

During embryological development, the heart comes from two different cell lines. Essentially, two different heart fields come

It uses only a small Figure 11. Spiral blood flow percent of energy and oxygen to sustain its in aortic arch own basal metabolic rate. The majority of the energy of the heart warms the blood and streams into the body’s watery matrix as infrared heat radiation. So the heart is primarily an organ of warmth, as well as pressurizing the blood streaming through it. Perhaps that is why we say, “I feel so warm towards you” when we express emotions of love and compassion. The heat is generated in the vast numbers of mitochondria that are especially numerous in each heart cell.

The heart is also an endocrine organ. It produces hormones like oxytocin, which are also produced in many parts of the body. It also produces a hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which the body uses to control the circulating volume of

They play an important role in heart rate variability, which is increasingly being investigated also in the field of cardiology.

All positive as well as negative Planck masses are found in these two other space-like domains, respectively. The whole theoretical construct requires a twelve- dimensional model with the possibility of explaining dark matter (positive Planck masses) and dark energy (negative Planck masses) interacting with our universe, as tabulated in Figure 35.
