From the book titled "What Happens When We Die" - Chapter 4

In 2022 I wrote and published a book titled What Happens When We Die. I made no attempt to promote the book, but I did self-publish it and it is available on Amazon. It is available as an e-book and in paperback. I never purchased a copy of the book personally and chose a standard cover from Amazon’s cover choices so I can’t attest to the quality of the book in paperback format.

One might ask why would you write and publish a book that you didn’t choose to promote. I don’t have an answer to that question. I guess it has to do with the fact I didn’t write it for financial gain, and further, it has to do with biblical matters, and I don’t believe - for me at least - I should charge money for promoting God’s word. If what I have to say bolsters people’s faith in an afterlife - in bolstering their belief in the matter of the bible being God’s word - then it seems wrong for me to put a price tag on the words I write.

I have for several decades believed that when the bible says God came into the material world as light, we should take those words literally, not metaphorically. That belief has led me down a path of study that I find very profound and in perfect synch with the words in the bible. It is only in the last 100 years or so that we’ve been able to understand the nature of light, and what we’ve learned is that our material world would not exist without light - i.e., photons.

The following is the full text of Chapter 4. I’ve decided to post this chapter on my Substack website. Choosing this chapter instead of publishing the book a chapter at a time starting with the first chapter seemed to make sense to me. Perhaps if this post generates enough interest I will regress and post the entire book a chapter at a time. I will share with you the table of contents and then move on to Chapter 4:

I think it useful to drive home a point mentioned in the preceding chapters regarding the process of indoctrination. Max Planck was responsible for introducing us to one of the most profound discoveries in history, and his work along with many others in the field of quantum mechanics is well accepted fact today. Planck stated that the orbit of the atom had to be the result of a conscious mind and that conscious mind then was the matrix of all matter. So how is it that such a brilliant physicist would find himself scorned in the community of scientists today who unequivocally in the majority deny even the possibility of a conscious mind being the mind responsible for our very existence? The answer of course has to do with the hijacking of science by an atheistic satanically influenced group of people.

I mentioned in the last chapter that I think the only way to answer the question posed in the title to this book is to start with a clean slate absent any bias arising from a process of indoctrination and to then look at all the evidence from all sources as it relates to how we came to be and what happens to us when we cease to be as far as this world is concerned. One of the things we must then look at are the religious texts that might shed some light on Planck’s perspective regarding a conscious mind.

Keep in mind it doesn’t make you a dummy to give some consideration to the possibility that a higher power – a God if you will – does exist. Certainly, it would be an incredibly absurd stretch to assume that Max Planck was a dummy. And, when one considers the numbers of doctors who hold a similar view to Planck in our times we have to ask a question – are these doctors dummy’s as well? Surely nobody sees the community of doctors in our times as lacking intelligence.

When it comes to my own thought processes, I have no problem going to religious texts to see if there are things we read – in the Judeo-Christian bible for instance – that will provide us with some answers. Let’s do that right now – that is let’s take a look at a verse from the bible:

1 John 1:5

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Keep that verse in mind as I explain to you how the electron manages to stay in orbit around the proton nucleus of an atom. The answer has to do with light particles called photons. We are talking now about the world of energy – not matter. These photons have no mass, but they do have energy. Electromagnetic energy is defined as a stream of massless particles called photons traveling at the speed of light.

Photons are unique in our universe in that they possess some really strange traits. They can exist as a wave or as a particle. We’ll talk more about that in a minute, but for now let’s stick to the photon’s influence on the atom itself – or more to the point to the electron part of the atom. The reason the negatively charged electron doesn’t implode inward toward the positively charged nucleus due to the positively charged protons residing in the nucleus has to do with the absorption of a photon thus imparting the photon’s energy to the electron. In this state the photon then is a particle, not a wave, and when the photon is absorbed by the electron it ceases to exist. The energy of the photon then gives the electron enough energy to push back away from the magnetic pull of the nucleus keeping the electron in a perfect state of balance that keeps the electron in orbit around the nucleus. The electron field that orbits the atom’s nucleus doesn’t maintain a consistent distance from the nucleus though. Rather it pushes outward away from the nucleus and then falls inward toward the nucleus and then back out again. The reason it falls inward is the result of the electron emitting a photon thus losing energy only to instantly absorb a new photon and gaining energy.

The precision of this process is astounding. It is happening so fast, and it is happening in every atom inside our bodies – all 7 octillion of them. It occurred to me somebody might have made an attempt to calculate the numbers of atoms in the universe and so they had. The number they came up with is between ten quadrillion vigintillion and one-hundred thousand quadrillion vigintillion atoms. When building matter out of non-material particles it takes a lot of those non-material particles – a whole lot. Some might shrug their shoulders in a gesture of indifference to the enormity of it all. I would not be one of those people. And, just to add a little more flavor to the process, it is presumed that all this absorption and emission of photons is happening really fast – 186,000 miles per second. The complexity of it all literally boggles the mind.

Richard Feynman was among the brilliant minds that introduced us to the quantum world back in the early part of the last century. I am always amazed at the humility of those who made these profound discoveries in the quantum world. If only the scientists of today possessed such humility. Feynman said many things regarding the mysterious world of quantum mechanics. I will share with you just one of them:

“What I am going to tell you about is what we teach our physics students in the third or fourth year of graduate school... It is my task to convince you not to turn away because you don't understand it. You see my physics students don't understand it... That is because I don't understand it. Nobody does.”
― Richard P. Feynman, QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter

You see there are two things going on with atoms that defy the natural laws of physics. The first is the fact that all these positively charged protons in the nucleus of an atom are able to stay bunched together when they should do the opposite. Like charged particles repel one another after all – at least everywhere in the universe with the exception of the quantum realm. Science fixed that by conjuring up a new force of nature they called the strong nuclear force.

The second thing going on with atoms has to do with the fact that the negatively charged electron stays in orbit around the positively charged nucleus when that shouldn’t be happening since opposite charged particles attract one another. We actually understand why that happens. It is through the absorption of light particles thus adding energy to the electron allowing it to push away from the protons.

We might want to see the process in the context of centrifugal force. Think of a tether ball attached by a rope to the ball on one end and a tall pole on the other. The ball just hangs there against the pole until a player grabs it and strikes it at which point the ball begins to go around the pole at a distance that is dependent on the amount of force the player used when striking the ball. With enough force the ball could actually move to its maximum distance that would leave the ball on the rope at a 90-degree angle to the pole. The ball will continue to circle the pole but will gradually slow down if left alone, and as that happens the orbit distance becomes less and less until at some point the ball comes to a stop once again hanging against the pole. However, if the player hits the ball again as it begins to fall downward the ball will jump back away from the pole again.

That is not at all unlike the way in which the electron stays in perfect orbit around the nucleus. When the player strikes the ball, he is imparting energy to the ball and when an electron absorbs a photon the photon imparts energy to the electron. Viewed this way the electron is pushing away from the proton, but the force of the electron is also pushing back against the nucleus. Newton’s Third Law of Motion states: Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.

Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion does appear to work consistently within the universe, so one might ask why science needed to declare a new force – the strong nuclear force - that doesn’t work anywhere else in the universe except as it pertains to the nucleus of an atom? The scientific method should not permit a de facto declaration of a new force to explain away a phenomenon that purportedly cannot be explained otherwise.

It is reasonable then to assume that if the electrons orbiting the nucleus absorbed multiple photons – enough in fact to keep it moving away from the nucleus - at some point the protons themselves would fly apart as the electrons force would no longer be present as the distance would be too great to have an impact on the protons in the nucleus.

The energy of the electron then has to be perfectly synched to maintain the orbit, to keep a force against the protons that is just enough to keep them bunched together, and not so much that the electron moves well beyond the nucleus thus reducing the magnetic force that tends to pull the negatively charged electron into the positively charged proton. Too much force and the electron no longer has influence over the proton nucleus, and too little force and the electron implodes inward toward the nucleus and the space between the two disappears at which point there is no longer an atom.

We can think of it as a person riding in the passenger seat of a high-powered car. As the driver exerts a force on the car by stomping on the accelerator the passenger is pressed back against the seat of the car. That is the opposite force spoken of in Newton’s Third law. The car lurches forward and the passenger is pushed backward. Then if the driver slams on the brakes the passenger lunges forward as the car slows down. If the driver then accelerates the car again the passenger is pressed back against the seat. The atom then would work much like that in my hypothesis. When the electron emits a photon the protons in the nucleus would move ever so slightly apart at which point the electron would absorb a photon and jump back away from the protons thus causing Newton’s Third law of opposing force to push the protons back together again. It would only work in a constant stop/start action as Newton’s Third Law only works as the result of acceleration. Speed itself has no impact on the passenger. It is the acceleration that matters, and so the electron has to be in a state of constantly accelerating in a stop/start fashion, and that is what the electron in fact does do, and it is doing it as light speed – that is 186,000 miles per second.

If the hypothesis I just set forth is actually true, then there is no need for what scientists call the strong nuclear force – a term they just conjured up as a way to explain what they deemed inexplicable as it relates to all the natural laws of nature. Science will tell you that centrifugal force is not really a force of nature, and they would be right. It is not a real force in that it depends on an outside energy force, but it is a real phenomenon in that once that external force is applied the outcome is exactly what we expect it to be.

So, let’s ask a question. What then is the force that keeps the atom in orbit? The answer is light in the form of photons. An objective person starting with a clean slate absent any bias resulting from a process of indoctrination would likely reach the same conclusion Max Planck reached:

We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.

That position is bolstered by the fact that the bible tells us God Himself stated that He came into the world as light. Our question in this book has to do with what happens to us when we die. In chapter two we dealt with the divided camp with one side denying an intelligent creator – a God – and the other embracing the idea of a God. Light is of paramount importance here. We need to understand the nature of light in order to make sense out of the matter. We can now say with certainty that light indeed is necessary in order for our material world to exist, but are there other areas we can explore regarding the nature of light as it relates to the bible? Can we for instance make sense out of the non-sensical claim that God is omniscient, that He is omnipresent, that He is omnipotent?

Do we have a spiritual essence as well as a material essence? We now know that our DNA is a unique marker, and that each of us is unique as far as our DNA is concerned. Do we also have a unique spiritual marker? Maybe we do, and maybe it is once again science who made such a discovery.

There are two experiments conducted on DNA that fascinate me and line up perfectly with my fascination with lights impact on our lives. We are talking about consciousness now as the question before us is this – does consciousness originate in the brain, or does it exist outside our physical body? Dr. Parnia has successfully documented the fact that consciousness does indeed linger outside our physical bodies, at least for a time, after our physical body is pronounced clinically dead. The question is important in terms of answering the bigger question before us – do we just die and remain dead when our physical bodies die as those scientists in the atheistic camp claim, or is there a spiritual essence that is unique to each of us just as there is a physical essence that is unique to each of us that being our DNA?

I will expand on that just a little and then discuss these two experiments. There are two realms that exist in our world – the realm of energy, and the physical realm. Electromagnetic energy is everywhere in the ether – the space that surrounds us is full of these energy waves. They are everywhere. You can’t see them but we know they exist. Electromagnetic energy is defined as a stream of massless particles called photons moving at the speed of light. A photon can be a part of a wave or it can be a particle. When it moves from a wave state to a particle state it impacts our physical world in that it is the very thing that allows the atom itself to exist by imparting energy to the electron that orbits the nucleus of the atom. When it acts as a wave it can move information through the ether. The following graphic gives us a good depiction of these waves (Source: NASA)

You will note the graphic ranges from the shortest wavelength which is a gamma ray to the longest wavelength which is a radio wave. Gamma rays are small – smaller than an atom. They can move through physical matter.

In recent years we have harnessed the power of gamma rays for use in medical procedures. We can now use the energy from a gamma ray using a procedure referred to as gamma knife surgery in lieu of traditional surgical procedures. The procedure is explained as follows:

Gamma Knife surgery is a painless computer-guided treatment that delivers highly focused radiation to tumors and lesions in the brain. Gamma Knife surgery is used to treat brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, trigeminal neuralgia, acoustic neuroma and tremors. (Source: Cleveland Clinic)

In essence we are focusing beams of light with pinpoint precision on a part of the body that we want to remove such as a tumor. But we don’t cut the body open to do that. Rather the gamma ray can pass through the tissues that make up our bodies. It can penetrate the skull and the brain tissues surrounding the tumor.

At the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves – the largest in size and the weakest in terms of energy. Still these waves are the same as gamma waves in the sense that they too consist of a stream of massless particles called photons traveling at the speed of light. The important point here is that we can in fact harness these waves to send information from an originating source point to a receiving source point. Radio waves are used for instance to transmit information to our radios, televisions, telephones, and computers.

I am going to get to those two experiments in a second, but this subject so fascinates me that I need to expound on a thought that surfaced in my mind years ago. I liken it to the thought Einstein had about riding atop a beam of light that eventually led him to form his Theory of Relativity. The thought I had is this – what if Jesus had control over these electromagnetic waves. Would He be able to deconstruct His physical body and move to a pure electromagnetic energy state such as a gamma ray, move through a wall, and then reconstruct Himself as a physical body? The bible says He did just that after He was resurrected. Jesus said we must be born again to know the Kingdom of God. When born again we purportedly become immortal – at least that is the case if we believe the bible, and pretty much all of the various religious doctrines say the same thing. If it turns out to be true, then would we too become immortal energy beings with the power to control our energy in such a way that we could construct and deconstruct our physical bodies at will after we go through the process of being born again?

That is what I call out of the box thinking by the way. I often ponder one of the things the bible says about the Kingdom of God. You see the bible says we will have immortal bodies, and that we will reside in those physical bodies on a new earth inside a city called New Jerusalem. The city’s dimensions will be 1500 miles high, 1500 miles wide, and 1500 miles long. Would we then be able to move back and forth from our physical body self to our energy self? If so, we would be able to escape the constraints of time when in the energy state. We could decide to visit a friend in an apartment on the top floor of a 1500-mile-high apartment building and be there in an instant. What puzzles me is the fact that this city would be described as 1500 miles high. In the material world of time, it would take a very long time to get to the top floor of such a building. Not so in the timeless world of energy. In truth we would be energy beings, not physical beings, but that said the illusion of a physical body does give us a way to interact with one another that is perhaps more intimate than would be the case if we were pure electromagnetic energy. Perhaps God’s purpose for creating a physical world had to do with that intimacy we are able to experience while in a physical state.

I have often pondered the nature of God and the nature of Jesus. God demonstrates a clear lack of empathy at times toward His creation. On the other hand, Jesus demonstrates an inordinately large amount of empathy toward mankind. There are indeed good things a physical body can experience, and perhaps that isn’t the case for a being who exists in the immortal and timeless universe of energy.

So that brings us back to the question – is there a unique energy essence to us as well as a unique physical essence? Do we possess an energy consciousness that exists outside the physical body? Keep in mind this idea is not as farfetched as one might think. We too can exert a certain amount of control over these electromagnetic waves even with our limited knowledge. We use gamma rays, x-rays, infrared waves, microwaves, and of course radio waves in our daily lives after all.

Remember earlier I made note of the need to investigate a subject by starting with a clean mental slate by eliminating any preconceived notions of what is true and then to examine all the evidence that might lead us to the answer we are seeking. As that relates to consciousness and an existence beyond the life of our physical body, I noted that I deemed it of paramount importance to examine religious texts as a part of that search for an answer. In that context then I find this passage from the Book of Daniel to be of some importance:

Daniel 12: 4

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

You need a point of reference to fully appreciate how totally profound this verse is. According to words purportedly being delivered to Daniel by God, Daniel was given prophetic information about specific events that would come to pass over time. Daniel was to keep secret what he was told until the time of the end, and at the time of the end people would move about in ways that were foreign to Daniel, and also knowledge would increase.

Einstein and his contemporaries introduced us to a world never before known to us – the world of atoms, of photons, of electromagnetic energy – a world that was invisible to us, but did in fact exist. The world of energy. Einstein and others made note of the fact that both time and our physical world were mere illusions implying that the real world was in fact the world of energy – the world that existed but was invisible to us, foreign to us. Do these discoveries qualify as “knowledge shall be increased” at the time of the end? I have already mentioned statistical outliers but these discoveries of an invisible world that really did exist would take the cake in my mind in terms of being statistically improbable. That is to say only a being that lived outside of time would be able to know the future in the context of our physical world. My next question – if one is to give credence to all of this – is this the time of the end?

All this is a process of dot connecting. There is so much more that we read in religious texts that – specifically in our time – correlates perfectly with the world we live in today. The prophetic parts of the bible literally boggle the mind in the degree to which the future was predicted accurately in ancient writings. Those who deal with these questions without starting with an unbiased mental slate by throwing off all the things they were taught and therefore believe to be true will abjectly refuse to consider the evidence – in fact they won’t even look at the evidence. Their indoctrination was so complete, so thorough that from their perspective they know all they need to know, and what they know is that God doesn’t exist so why then would they choose to waste precious time investigating a myth? I would, and have for that matter, made the point to these sorts of people that the very first sentences in the very first book of the bible that discusses the state of the universe in the beginning describes the universe exactly, and I mean exactly, as those scientists who explain the state of the universe in the beginning after the Big Bang and before the Era of Recombination. That is evidence of a being that exists outside the constraints of time.

It is by the way hard for most of us to even conceptualize timelessness. Maybe the best way to think of it is to consider a movie. In times past we had to watch the whole movie to know how it all turned out. Not so today. We can adjust the time bar on the movie we are watching from our computers and move it to the end and know in an instant what happened. Or, if we were the one who wrote the script we would know the end of the movie before it ever started playing. Scientists today will tell us that if we are moving at the speed of light time doesn’t pass – it doesn’t exist. And we know the world of energy – electromagnetic energy – does in fact move at the speed of light, so if this is true – that is times stops at the speed of light – then the energy world is timeless. And if there is an intelligent mind orchestrating this whole process the possessor of that mind most assuredly resides in that eternal world of energy, not in the illusory physical world that we live in.

So, back to the question – is there evidence that supports the notion that we not only have a unique physical essence, but also a unique energy essence? In an article published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry we read about two Russian scientists who conducted an unusual experiment regarding the effect human DNA has on photons. For me at least the results of this experiment was an epiphany moment. It suggested to me that we do in fact have an energy essence that is unique to us just as we have a physical essence that is unique to us. Here is an excerpt from the article discussing the experiment:

A Russian research team of geneticists and linguists have scientifically documented the ability of sound and light to heal DNA. The research carried out by Russian scientists Peter Gariaev and Vladimir Poponin, showed that DNA has a special ability to attract photons causing them to slide along the helical molecule of DNA instead of along a linear pathway. This implies that DNA has the amazing capacity to bend or wrap light around itself! Recent studies by Dr. Rao and his team showed that DNA undergoes helical change from normal B-DNA conformation to Z-DNA in Alzheimer's disease and this alters gene orientation and function. Thus DNA helicity alters depending on brain function and stress. (Source: Indian Journal of Psychiatry)

The scientists started by inserting photons into a vacuum. The photons had no appearance of a discernable order to them. They then placed human DNA into the vessel and the photons reacted to the introduction of the DNA. They suddenly became ordered in response to the DNA. What was most interesting though is that when the DNA was removed they expected the photons to revert back to their random disordered state, but that is not what happened. The photons retained their ordered state suggesting the introduction of human DNA to the energy world of the photons, once it occurs, creates for us a unique identifier in the world of energy. In other words, we may well have a unique energy essence as well as a unique physical essence.

Other experiments have demonstrated that to the degree we can control our thoughts and emotions we can impact our physical bodies – heal them in fact. This was proven by an experiment where researchers taught a group of people to feel certain emotions – specifically love, gratitude, and appreciation. The group was then given vessels containing human DNA. By eliciting these emotions, they were able to literally alter the shape of the DNA. The DNA responded by unwinding, elongating thus becoming more healthy, and more capable of performing their intended functions in our bodies. We will discuss this more completely in Chapter 6 as it is indeed a fascinating area of science that we are only in the last few years discovering holds great promise within the field of medicine. Things we didn’t know we could do – in particular from a scientific perspective – we can now do with regard to fine tuning our bodily functions in a way that serves to heal our bodies, and we can do it with thoughts, but not the old fashion power of positive thinking method where we try to force our minds to think of certain desired outcomes, but rather through the process of eliciting certain emotions.

In other words what we think matters to our bodies – to our health. Our conscious thoughts matter in a way we never expected. Certainly, we have known for a long time that what we think matters in terms of the way we experience life, but this experiment was different – it established that we could literally impact our physical health based on the way we thought. And, interestingly, it wasn’t the power of positive thinking that made the impact. It wasn’t a process of saying to oneself I will be healed from this cancer over and over. To the contrary, what made the difference were the emotions elicited by the people who were attempting to impact the DNA. The emotions of love, gratitude, and appreciation had an impact – not a mantra repeated over and over such as “I will be healed.”

There is a phenomenon that exists in our world called multiple discovery. It is defined in Wikipedia as follows:

The concept of multiple discovery (also known as simultaneous invention) is the hypothesis that most scientific discoveries and inventions are made independently and more or less simultaneously by multiple scientists and inventors.

An objective person might ask how is it that we arrive at a point in time where mankind makes a profound and life changing discovery, and multiple people – unbeknownst to each other – suddenly begin to think outside the box, and in so doing revolutionize the world we live in. To suggest they made these discoveries as the result of a brain centered thought is, in my opinion, ludicrous. Certainly, they had to think about the matter in ways mankind had never done before, but the purportedly unanswerable question has to do with where did those thoughts come from?

The article I referenced above was discovered in the process of doing my research for this book. I was merely searching for supporting evidence for the experiment on the interaction between DNA and photons conducted by the Russian scientists. What I found in my search is the article referenced above which did indeed offer supporting evidence for the Russian experiment, but it offered so much more. The epiphany was this – I said to myself, “good land I am not the only one who is seeing this stuff.” You see I have had a view for multiple decades on the matter of light. I never thought the mention of God as light was to be interpreted metaphorically. Rather, I thought God was light in a literal sense. In other words, I thought of God as the supreme energy being. The mere fact that light travels at such a high speed allowed me to make sense out of the nonsensical. How could God be everywhere at the same time for instance. He could if He were light in the literal sense.

The following excerpt is from the article referenced above. It is an introduction to a new world of study and research that hold immense promise for healing our bodies. That is not an area I have much interest in although I admit it does fascinate me. My interest is more in the area of eternal existence, of finding ways to explain the inexplicable things we read in the bible such as an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent supreme being we identify as God. I want to know if the bible is true or not, if we might actually become immortal beings, and if so, what will that be like. To me science matters in this quest. When reading this excerpt one might conclude that many of my ideas on these matters came to me through a process of study – that is, I read things and liked what I read and so I subjected myself to a process of indoctrination. That is simply not the case.

As I said my fascination with the idea that God was light in the literal sense came to me decades ago, and not through a process of reading anything. I often ask myself where did that thought come from, but as I write this book the answer seems obvious to me – God wanted me to go down this path, and He was the one that started me along this course of study. There is no other way I can explain how profound discoveries are made – for instance in the arena of quantum mechanics. How did a diverse group of physicists at the turn of the last century suddenly, all at the same time, begin the investigation of the quantum world – a world they literally could not see? Where did those thoughts come from? Certainly not the brain as there was virtually no readable material on the matter. It had to come from outside the brain – from a conscious being who had a way of silently accessing the brains of these great men and women. There is simply no other plausible answer.

As you read this quote you will note a number of things I have mentioned so far in this book – things like electromagnetic energy, light, DNA, and consciousness:

Exploring avenues for stimulating and harnessing the tremendous self-healing potential of the human genome, is one of the hot spot areas in current research.

A prime candidate for illness is a person whose life is devoid of love or of any level of human warmth. Add to this, unresolved or deeply consuming emotional, psychological or spiritual stress along with a disempowering belief system-you have a perfect recipe for creating disease.

When a person feels that he or she has no choice in the matters of his or her own life, their emotional response can lead to the development of a disease. The violation of a person's choice, often, is teeming with hostility, fear, anger and rage.

‘The Lost Soul Syndrome’, when a person is in ‘Existential Vacuum’, where suffering is accompanied by the absence or loss of meaning in one's life, could be a significant contributor to illness. This is primarily because, a life sans meaning, more often than not, leads to despair, depression and worthlessness. This implies that the physical body is strongly affected when one's state of mind and emotions are full of suffering, stemming from feelings of emptiness.

Life is a learning experience. By redirecting our focus, we bring about a new course of events into focus while releasing an existing course of events that may not serve us any longer. Nowhere this is more significant than where our genes are concerned.

Of late, geneticists have begun to address the DNA (NOT the Brain) as our Bio-computer. It can be hypothesized that, in order to set the “bioenergy system” right, it is vital to access the source of electromagnetic malfunction in our genetic code. To facilitate this, it is essential to employ special sounds and intention.

According to Dr. Valerie Hunt, the author of “Infinite mind: Science of the Human vibrations of consciousness”, the mind actually exists at the dimension of electromagnetic fields, rather than residing in the brain. Natalie Dobrova believes that an individual's system comprising organs, has its own electromagnetic rhythm. Disruption in this cellular symphony signifies disease.

DNA is regarded as the master blueprint for our biology. Vedas state that “In the beginning was Brahman with whom was the WORD”. A parallel for this can be found in The New Testament where John states “In the beginning was the WORD.” A reference in Genesis 1:3 reads “And God said, Let there be light: And there was light.” All these point to the potential of light (electromagnetic waves) and sound (electromagnetic waves) on DNA and their EXPRESSION.

Parts of this narrative I like. In particular the last paragraph. I am not entirely sure that we can modify our thinking and the way we live our life with the result being positive. That said, I do believe it is possible to connect with God. If we do that we can expect a better existence even in those times where the experience of living life is not so very kind to us. Connecting to God is of paramount importance on so many different levels, and it is something, if we are honest with ourselves, that very few of us attempt to do.
