We Are Energy Beings
Scientifically and medically, we are living in exciting times…times of great change. One foot is still firmly planted in the old thinking of a mechanistic world view that can be described objectively and the body as little more than molecules and chemicals, while with the other foot, we are cautiously treading the waters of an entirely different understanding of the world.
While our senses tell us that only matter is real, the new science reveals that our universe and everything in it…molecules, atoms, sound, light, thought and we ourselves….are made of energy.
In the most literal way, we are beings of energy – beings of light – made of the same energy that makes up grass and dogs, and the stars and galaxies across our universe. All of the ‘stuff’ of the universe is energy, and the movement of this energy is the basis of all lifeYour body, and every organ and cell that make up your body emit energy, each with its specific, identifiable vibration. Together, these emissions create an aura of energy around you: your energy field, which is as unique as your fingerprint. Every organ and cell also emits its own unique energy field.
Together, these energy fields and the pathways along which your energy flows can be called your ‘energy body’. This is not the body of bone, blood and cells, but rather, the body of vibrating electromagnetic light energy emitted by those physical parts, and that flows in, through and around the physical body.
The energy body cannot be seen by standard medical equipment, but the energy it emits has been picked up by sensitive devices by scientists interested in studying such things. One surprise from the Reseachers at the HeartMath Institute is that the heart radiates more and stronger energy frequencies than any other part of the body, even the brain.
Some clairvoyants can see an aura, which according to ancient Vedic philosophy, is made up of 5 layers or sheaths, each with its own purpose and expression. This aura is said to be up to 1 metre thick, even more in very spiritually developed individuals.
New technology has been developed to capture an image of the aura, as you can see in these photographs. Thanks to other sensitive technology and experimentation, we now know that our energy field radiates even further, and interact with energy fields of people and living things that may be far away from us, even on the other side of the planet.
Entanglement: We are Energetically Connected
To make some sense of entanglement, the idea that our beings and experiences and the world itself are inseparable, let us consider a related quantum effect, that of non-locality, or action-at-a-distance. Research has shown that on the subatomic level at least, action at one place can influence action at another place without intermediaries and simultaneously.
Furthermore, particles can appear here, there and in different locations, but never in between. Pop! The particle is here, then pop, it is there!
We all have had the experience of popping in and out of time and events in our minds…we do it when we daydream, or our thoughts wander, or when one memory leads by free-association to another then another. Thought is incredibly mobile, and can transcend time and space with ease.
We dismiss these mental and emotional events as ‘not real’, figments of the mind. But what if they are real? What if your consciousness did actually pop in and out of your current reality, of other realities, of unmanifested probabilities?
What if your consciousness linked up with other consciousnesses, giving you access to others’ thoughts, feelings, memories and past experiences? What if we, all of us, formed part of a limitless universal pool of human experience, memory and information? This idea is not new. The ancient concept of the Akashic record has been around for thousands of years.
Entanglement is a mind-boggling concept because it has enormous implications for the way we see and intereact with the world. If we are indeed inseparable, and fundamentally entangled with the universe, then far out ideas like psychic phenomena, distance healing and an intelligent, self-aware universe are not only credible but true.
What else is in store for us?
We live in an Intelligent Universe
The energy of which is everything is made, the universal energy, is not blank. It carries information. What is more, every energy field responds to the information it carries, as well as to information received from other energy fields.
Every part of our bodies has its own energy field, and hence, its own kind of intelligence. It is this cooperation of many different intelligences that allows the body to naturally adjust itself to internal and external changes, renew and rejuvenate itself, and to respond to our healing thought and therapies. Each cell, organ, gland and bone in the body carries out these tasks daily without any assistance from us. All we have to do is to help create the conditions in which the body can function properly…or not upset the natural order as we have been doing for hundreds of years.
Because the energy fields of the body and other living things are made of the same energy as our thoughts, and that energy is intelligent, the energy fields of living things, especially our own bodies, responds to our thoughts.
In other words, we live in, and are in continuous interaction with a conscious universe.
This astounding self-managing, self-directing potential and self-adjusting potential exists in everything, from the smallest particle or the simplest 1-celled creature to the universe itself. We can call it the ‘power of nature’, the ‘dao’, Gaia consciousness or God. Whatever we call it, and however we choose to perceive it, this power is fundamental to the existence and continuation of life as we know it.
The Universe Remembers
Once we accept that our energy fields and all energy fields interact with, and influence each other, it seems to be a small yet profound leap to the idea of a universal memory. This concept has emerged in the new science as the ‘morphic field’, a field containing the memories of atoms, cells and organs of all living things. This field is continually evolving and exists everywhere equally. Others have taken this concept even further to propose that the morphic field is universal, that it contains within it all the information contained with every other energy field. Because it exists everywhere equally, this universal memory is accessible to, and influences every kind of development, from biological growth and processes to social forms to our most exalted spiritual experiences.
This is essentially what ancient teachings describe as the Akashic memory, the record of everything ever remembered, existing in dimensions beyond time and space, yet accessible to every psyche. If our bodies, minds and experiences are indeed the result of continuous interactions with other energy fields and a universal consciousness, then despite our unique individualities, we are well and truly one consciousness.
While this idea is ancient, it is only in the last hundred years of so that it has been scientifically tested and demonstrated. Even then, it is still mind boggling.
