Iron rules of health - 17

[Guest guest]

Perhaps not quite as nebulous as butterfly wings creating storms the

other side of the globe, solar flares affecting the navigational

ability of pigeons, or magnetic fields of our own planet disturbing

the body's electrochemical responses – nevertheless all of these

examples recognize that the body, in fact all bodies, are a

collection of electro-magnetically energetic cells which are deeply

affected by the environment. (Ref: Post #6733, #6740)

 

This author's fascination with such phenomena was sparked when during

a 10 day Vipassana meditation at Igatpuri he experienced prolonged

lack of sleep with no sign of either fatigue or exhaustion

whatsoever. The reasons for this were the concentrated electro-

magnetic energies created by both the special roof on the room where

he stayed and the specially designed dome on the meditation area.

Perhaps meditation itself and the group energies from those who were

meditating much longer had some stimulating effect?

 

On 1st July 1951, around midnight in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.A.

(Coordinates 27° 46' N, 82° 50' W) a very strange and amazing event

occurred. Mary Richter, a 67 year old widow was sitting in her

apartment in an armchair with inner springs. Her body suddenly caught

fire and despite the fire being very fast and very intense, the area

of the fire was limited to only one meter radius, the centre of this

circle being her body. The rest of the apartment was untouched by the

fire and Mary, who weighed nearly 80 kilograms, was turned into ash

weighing a mere 4 kilograms.

 

The investigation of this strange death was entrusted to Dr. Wilston

Cragman a forensic expert from the University of Pennsylvania. He was

astonished to see the state of her skull which had shrunk to the size

of an orange. According to the accepted rules of science, it should

have expanded or broken to several pieces. The rest of her bones had

turned to a soft ash. This too was quite extraordinary since human

bones do not turn to soft ash even after being maintained at 3000°F

for 12 hours according to previous scientific experiments.

 

This was a very special event indeed. The intensity of the fire

should have turned the whole apartment to ashes, but in this case, a

bundle of papers lying about 1.5m away did not even show blackening,

neither did any other surfaces, not even those which were close to

the body. "Without doubt this is a very strange event. I would have

called this black magic if we were living in the middle ages", said

Dr Wilston. "I have seen many burnt human skulls but no skull ever

resembled anything like this. I simply cannot imagine how strong and

intense such a fire would have been, to be able to reduce bones to

this extent".

 

Many such happenings are recorded in history and still remain a

mystery, the mystery of the Bermuda triangle is such an

example. `Biological Conditions Created by Electrical Properties of

the Atmosphere' is an important book by the French scientist Dr

Fredblage in which he attempts to solve such mysteries. He writes

that the human body is in fact a mobile power plant and that if this

power is used properly, as much work as is produced by a powerful

electricity generating station can be accomplished.

 

If properly used, the body of man can produce extra sensory energy.

Our bodies have an electric potential gradient of about 10**5 Volts

per centimeter. This voltage difference does not cause shock or death

but keeps the operation of chakras, glands, organs and nerves in

motion without any breakdown or error. This energy does not flow to

the earth, despite constant contact of the body, but when the

insulation breaks down, sudden fire can be the result. Events such as

these may be termed spontaneous human combustion but the mathematical

or physical theories behind these events remain an unfathomable

mystery even today.

 

"The amount of electricity used for our physical and mental

activities are the same as that required to run a big cloth mill. Our

bodies are like big industrial complexes containing several

factories, but when the electrical insulation breaks down somewhere

within the circuit, a fire like this can be caused. But when and why

this should happen remains a mystery", says Dr Frank Brown, an

American research scientist in this subject when asked about

electrical fields in the physical body.

 

Most of us have seen how Multiple Sclerosis causes slow degeneration

of the body when electric conduction of the nervous system's signals

deteriorate.

 

In today's post we are discussing electrical energy, termed also as

life energy, prana, chi, ki and many other names. This energy we

understand to be the innermost aura having sufficient strength to

stretch around living objects and we sometimes feel this energy as

various kinesthetic sensations such as heat or tingling especially

when transferring energy as a touch of the hands or Reiki or other

forms of "hands on" healing. It is also the energy that fuels our

sexuality and that we feel most strongly during orgasm. In message

#6733, existence of such energy was demonstrated by magnetism.

According to Maxwell's laws, electricity and magnetism can not be

separated, both exist together simultaneously.

 

This same energy circulates in our acupuncture meridians and its

vortices form our chakra system. The existence of such energy can

also be inferred by moving hand over the spine of an Indian cow and

comparing the experience with same action on any other animal.

Perhaps cow has been regarded holy for this reason. It is not only

fundamental to most paranormal or psychic phenomena, but is also the

healing agent in many natural therapies. Homeopathy can only be

understood as a bio-energy phenomenon which is why it is so strongly

rejected by conventional medicine. While bio-energy is being

recognized by mainstream science only recently in the form of EEG,

ECG and MRI for example, each of these giving results which have

become an essential part of medical diagnosis, this energy is also

experienced by many sensitive individuals as a very natural and

everyday occurrence.

 

Bio-energies are part of the vast range of etheric energies

characterized by their long wavelengths and low frequencies. Just as

electromagnetic energies have a wide range of wavelengths or

frequencies so also do the etheric energies have similar ranges.

On one side of the spectrum they border on the electromagnetic, while

on the other side of the spectrum they merge into the emotional

energies. Furthermore, as visible light is part of the

electromagnetic spectrum, so bio-energy, being the life force of the

body, is also part of the etheric spectrum.

 

Again, in message #6733, bio-energy was demonstrated by rubbing both

palms of the hands together and another relatively easy and

practical way to feel this bio-energy is to shake the body,

especially the arms and hands rapidly for about a minute, together

with deep and fast breathing and then stop suddenly. Remain

completely still with the arms slightly raised in front of your

abdomen or chest as if holding a large foot ball. Concentrate on the

sensation in your hands and arms. Tingling and vibration are

indications of energy coming out of hands. Extremeties are emitting

energy all the time and toe, the biggest finger, where the sciatica

nerve traversing the whole spine and charka system ends, carries

maximum current of bio-electricity. This may be the reason that toe

in hand and foot is assigned `Agni' (fire), the first fundamental

element making the universe. The reason may be clear now as to why

Indians touch both hands completely together when bowing to someone,

or why the toe of a saint is touched while requesting his blessing.

In Germany too, a large amount of research along these lines was

carried out by Wilhelm Reich. However, in 1957 the FDA burned six

tons of his books and he still died in a federal jail despite the

value of his bio-energy work.

 

As noted in Message #5886, in addition to food, water and air which

cover three fundamental elements, we still need a balanced intake of

electromagnetic energies which include sunlight, colors, the Earth's

magnetic field and the electrical field between the ionosphere and

the ground. This completes the fourth fundamental element. Amongst

all the essential nutrients discussed so far, only photon light

remains to be discussed in any further detail. Ancient acharyas

correctly knew the importance of the input of this energy; hence they

devised various naturopathic techniques such as sun bath, sun gazing,

utilizing sun rays to make certain medicines and also Kutir Pravesam,

where one remains in the dark for long periods of time in order to

wipe off accumulated photon toxins and earthing bad energies. The

influence of the moon on the mental processes, on digestive enzymes

and on the menses was also well known, as well as the importance of

the sun on periodic cycles of life here on earth. Acharyas knew the

importance of the sun and moon on man's health all too well, hence

they built a way to worship the sun thrice daily using the Trisandhya

ritual and some of the medicines which they also designed to use this

energy, needed to absorb moonlight for a fortnight before being given

to the patient.

 

Having introduced the topic of electromagnetic energies as being an

essential part of life, further discussion on their use in obtaining

and maintaining optimal health will be continued in the next post.

Reduction of sleep after deep meditative practices is not a miracle or mysterious. More you "teach" your brain to produce alpha brain-wave patterns the less is the need of the sleep. This well documented in medical lietrature.

 

It is also possible to achieve these deep meditative states by simple non-invasive brainwave entrainment methods. Those who want to explore this may contact me privately.

Designs for anthroposophical buildings and Steiner schools also have the domed shape mentioned by Dr Bhate - ostensibly to enhance brain function in the students - just as the doors in Steiner houses are not the usual square design - is there in fact much medical information on the effect of this type of building shape on brain function? Yes there is masses of information on enhancement of brain function by meditation, but how much is there on building shape?

This is a fascinating subject. I was recently put through a ct scan of the

brain and an mri of the knee and all I could think about was that my heart

runs on electricity, they are putting me in a giant magnet, and magnets and

electricity do weird things together, what will this do to my heart. I am

not sure these are a good idea. I had palpitations for days afterwards.

Can't decide if those were from being freaked out about the process--or from

the process itself. Many forums about people who have had these tests talk

about feeling very strange afterwards. The results of the tests were that I

had a perfectly normal looking brain and arthritis of the knees, which I

already knew. I did not request either test; I think an xray of the knee

would have told pretty much the same story.

I never thought about this - but now you come to mention it - the allopaths get all this info in a format they can relate to - and as you say it doesn't change anything you and they already know - but i was thinking about this today driving along in the car - I wonder if it does any harm to the injured parts being examined? Long term I can't see that the heart would be affected - but just as x-rays are harmful I would not be surprised if down the track they will find something that is harmful to the rest of the body - meantime they have to justify the purchase of such expensive equipment and what better way than to make the patients pay hundreds of dollars for the privilege of being rediagnosed??
