How many more lives has to be taken among black men and women, and people of color before the laws change on the books? The late John Lewis stated “if you see something, say something”, do something. This statement is not just for the African-American community, this is for all races of people. If you have a conscience; how can any of us sit back and watch the social injustices that are occurring at a rapid pace and do nothing or say anything to make a difference?

I commend the NBA players and the other professional sports entertainment teams for taking a stand and showing that life is more important than a game of entertainment. Their compassion, concern for society as a whole and their commitment to say and do something is to be praised. It’s a sad day in America to see and hear our government leaders bickering over subject matters that are so important to the health and well-being of us all.

Domestic violence by our own police force, the very same people who suppose to protect and serve us and to keep us from harm; are the ones who are committing such crimes which are resulting in the deaths of innocent people. These officers’ are getting away with cold-blooded murders and assaults on individuals with such behaviors. And for those who may survive such brutality are scarred for the rest of their lives and have to live with the consequences of someone else’s neglect, that has cause them to suffer physically, emotionally, financially and even spiritually. This madness has to stop. How many more black men, women and people of color has to be shot, become disabled or killed before this current government will do something? Change the laws! Stop protecting police officers’ abusing their authority.

For all the politicians’ regardless of the color of your skin; when are you going to take a stand, come together and get on one accord to put a law in place that will stop the murders of innocent victims from being killed by your own entity? The platforms each of us have should be used for the betterment of society.

Lawmakers, Congress, or whatever level of government you are involved with; including Donald Trump and the Vice President Mike Pence, when are many of you going to start using your platform with honor and dignity?

To honor God with your mouths and lips, yet your heart is far from Him is unacceptable behavior. Stop using the name of the lord in vain. “These people draw near to me with their lips, But their heart is far from me. Matthew 15:7-8.

The Nature of Life:

Both matter and energy are formed out of a primal substance that is not a particle, matter or energy. This primal substance can be called lifeforce, fundamental energy, base substance, prime existence, God, or anything else that means the source of all existence in the universe. For the benefit of simplicity, we will refer to this primal substance as lifeforce throughout this discussion.

The entire universe is permeated by this lifeforce; and where this primal substance ends is the limit of the perceivable universe. Lifeforce is a medium, like a relatively motionless fluid without mass; but we can detect its presence by observing the effect it has on particles. Lifeforce imposes an upper speed limit on electromagnetic radiations. Dark energy and gravity also display effects we can observe in space-time.

From these observations, it appears that this incarnation has only been in existence for around 13.7 billion years. Every particle and sub-particle we have observed appears to spin rapidly in some direction. When these particles travel through space in straight lines, they are recognized as energy. When the particles tightly orbit another particle or particles, they form atoms of matter.

Every physical atom, and every particle, is the result of, and is defined by, an exact pattern created by thought. Thought apparently has an effect on the direction of spin, and thereby manipulates the particle by altering its vibration. The belief that thought is what manipulates lifeforce is based on the observation that we are only animated and grow while we are “alive” and capable of thinking. This is about as basic as it gets.

How it Applies to Us:

Since mankind’s mind is capable of drawing together thought forms, it is capable of creating. Therefore, mankind’s ability to clothe his mind with physical atoms by direct mental precipitation is how we have bodies to live in. When we “die,” our mind (the collection of our thoughts,) leaves the body which decays through entropy. This observation suggests that we have more direct control over ourselves and our environments than most of us realize.

Every human being can form mental patterns. This ability, combined with a conscious effort to build upon previous patterns in our everyday world, with an expectation to accomplish our goals, may be referred to as “precipitation.” The more clearly we define our goals and the more intensely we feel our desired outcome, the more rapidly and accurately the physical manifestation of that thought can be precipitated into being.

Most of us go through life never suspecting the tremendous power of the natural resource built into us. The mind, which interfaces with our body through our brain, is the seat of our thoughts. This powerful tool, when used properly, can bring the good things of life into our reality. This line of reasoning suggests that prosperity, health and happiness, the traditional markers of success, can be ours if we discipline our thoughts. Whatever we need, we can make a part of our lives as if by magic, precisely the way we expect it to be.

Is Something Wrong?

Those of us that go through life without a clear plan, accepting whatever comes our way, often feel that life is not fair, that we are being taken advantage of, or that we will never get what we want. Without a clear focus, we will not attract and utilize the elements that can bring our dreams into physical reality. Our experiences may not proceed in an orderly fashion, and the things we wish for may not be realized at all.

Under these conditions, our subconscious mind usually calls the shots based on whatever negative programming we may have inadvertently stuck in there by expecting undesirable results. When concepts like, “It always turns out that way!” or “I always anticipate the worst!” or “I don’t feel lucky!” are constantly repeated in our mind, our subconscious mind thinks that is what we need, and works toward that goal by manifesting these uncomfortable background emotions as a reality for us. It can seem like a life of chaos.

On the other hand, when we focus clearly on a specific outcome and how we will feel when it is accomplished, a pattern is created that attracts, gathers, and utilizes the resources around us necessary to make our desires a physical reality. This is how the Law of Precipitation works.

Repetitive focus on any desire has the effect of attracting the attention of others with similar interests. There appears to be a sympathetic vibration, or a tuning in mentally, that can bring people together who can accomplish different aspects of any given idea. We can use someone else’s help with some of the challenges we face, and find that we can do almost anything when we work together while applying vigorous attention to a solution.

When new discoveries are made, they often pop up in several places throughout the world… and often seemingly independent of each other. Yet how could that be. And why wasn’t the useful idea made many years earlier? Those ideas surely would have been helpful earlier; but if they had already existed, what else in life would also have been changed? But then, that is a hypothetical question for another day, like the chicken and the egg.

Back on topic; an undesirable aspect of precipitation is that negative thoughts precipitate more easily than positive ones due to the reinforcement we get from others, and the fact that we tend to hide them from others to avoid embarrassment – which motivates us to dwell on them more than we should. Our worries and fears can be dissipated by releasing them, by not expecting them to manifest. That can be done by journaling the concern, realizing that it is only hypothetical, and positively reinforcing the preferred results with the feeling of relief we expect to feel when everything goes well; or by finding the source of our negative thoughts and replacing them with a positive twist, then again feel the relief we expect to feel when everything goes well. For example, replacing a worry that someone won’t like us with a desire for that other person to feel liked, and then pre-feel the friendship in advance, will almost always make both feel comfortable around each other.

The other catch to this is that we have to believe the results we want are the ones we will get. Although we have heard that many times before, we often misinterpret just what that means. To really believe in something means to know it to be true, not to want it to be true. The difference between knowing and wanting is a degree of doubt. When we doubt it, we don’t really believe it! In fact, doubting is actively believing that it is not… which automatically creates the negative, and prevents us from feeling that what we want is possible.

Making it Personal!

When this principle is internalized, we can begin to purposefully rearrange our lives, making them much more in line with our desires. This means that through the power of precipitation, we can modify our environment and eventually bring it into a state entirely to our liking. Our every thought influences the universe in some way. The ideas we habitually focus on, and our actual philosophy – the way we feel about life, constantly reinforces our beliefs, good or bad, by precipitating their features into our personal reality.

So if our life’s circumstances are not yet fully conforming to our liking, remember that our surroundings are almost an exact reflection of our attitudes. Who and what we attract… are replicas of our real fears and aspirations, the ones we really feel.

Is our environment chaotic, scary, dark, depressing? If so, we precipitated, mentally attracted, and gravitated to such conditions. No one else is truly to blame. We are the master of what thoughts pass through our minds. When we stop engaging in demoralizing behavior that erodes our self-esteem and produces negative emotional feelings, we give our positive and empowering self-image a chance to grow. When we refuse to continue drawing negative aspects of life to ourselves, and instead think and feel entirely uplifting thoughts, our life changes for the better.

We can control our destinies by physically removing ourselves from a physical environment that drags us down. It is okay to leave toxic people behind who repeatedly leave us angry, sick and afraid as a result of their unhealthy behavior. When they are ready to move on, they will themselves embrace a similar path in the pursuit of happiness. But they must do so for themselves – no one can live another’s life for them… after all, we are responsible for our own lives and should not be focused upon someone else’s.

When a negative thought enters our mind, we are not to pursue it or dwell upon it, for that gives it power. Our own bad habits can sabotage us in this way. Instead, we must dismiss that negative thought and determinedly replace it with visions of all that is good and wonderful, and reinforce those visions with their associated emotions. To become our better selves, it is imperative that we all make this change an unwavering good habit no matter how fiercely we have to will it into being. By practicing the virtues we admire, and enjoying how good it makes us feel when we do, we can refine the technique needed to hold to our resolutions.

Moving Forward:

Everyone has heard the saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” This is a common example of how this principle has been affecting all of our lives, whether we were aware of it or not. Reach out for love, for beauty, for health, for happiness, and for financial comfort. It will find us! In this way we can control our life’s condition. Whatever we dwell upon and hold in our heart will eventually become our physical reality.

Seek out and make friends with others who have learned how to control their lives. Spend more time with those who simply leave us feeling good. Hang out with others who have learned to make their emotions serve them in uplifting ways. By creating a better life for ourselves, we also create a better life for those around us, and a foundation upon which our children can build their lives to a higher level yet. In this way we can serve each other and help to make this world a better place.

Why do some people succeed and others don’t? Is success hard wired into the brain, or does this tendency arise via the events and experiences of our lives? Or is success a combination of both?

I was first introduced to the subject of success and survival of the fittest in a sociology class, where my lecturer had drawn two boxes on the black board, the first box was labeled person A and the second box was labeled person B. She showed person A as being a person who after failing a task had giving up ever trying again, and gave up on their life. While person B, had been through so many life challenges, and no matter how many challenges person B experienced he or she would get right back up and just keep on going. It was after this lecture I would continuously ask the question: why and what is it that makes one survive and succeed no matter what the circumstance, while others give up at the first sight of any major challenge or difficulty? Many have referred to this mentality as “Survival of the Fittest.”

In studying the origin and meaning of the popular phase: “survival of the fittest” we can start to gain an understanding of the concept and how it relates to our own success in life. Many believe the phase was attributed by Charles Darwin, who discussed survival of the fittest as a primary struggle for food to support growth. Which we know is vital to our survival, but we know many people who sit in front of the television all day stuffing their mouths with potato chips. Therefore, having an abundance of food, shelter and material goods does not determine our success in life, otherwise everyone that sat in front of the television eating potato chips would be successful and that is not the case.

What makes more sense is the actual definition from the true innovator of the phase: Herbert Spencer.

In Spencer’s view one’s survival and success in life is in their characteristics and habits of life, those who adapt poorly to changes in circumstances, events or experiences will disappear or in other words fail. Those that change their characteristics and habits so as to adapt and survive through the changes in circumstances, events and experiences will progress rather than fail. In writing and reading numerous success stories there is another factor I would have to add to the equation of survival of the fittest and success, and that is one’s ability to connect with others. As just about every success story occurred as a result of a connection: Apple, Google, Oprah, Starbucks, Cisco, Adobe and the list goes on and on.

Now it’s your turn to connect with others, who share your goals, dreams and aspirations. Where together you can achieve each others goals no matter what your circumstance may be. It’s Free to join and you can connect with others today to make your dreams a reality http://www.cluehut.com

Uncomfortable, difficult, troublesome, nerve-wracking, stressful, painful, tear-laden and woebegone-these are just a few adjectives describing tough times. We’ve all experienced them, some of us more painfully than others but everyone in this world has their tale of woe to tell. So how do we cope? How do we find solace, peace and anything positive in tough times? First, we begin by understanding the reality of this dimension-that everything has two sides, and that for every positive there is a negative; for every curse there is a blessing. With this in mind, let’s look at 7 benefits and blessings of tough times.

1. Make us stronger

It is a fact of life that muscles get stronger under stress. That’s why athletes and people concerned with their health and longevity lift weights and workout. Stress is part of the strengthening process. It’s tough when one is tired to forego the comfort of a recliner, couch or bed, but if we do not resist such temptations the result is that we turn into a soft mass of mush with all its debilitating physical issues. Tough workouts make us stronger. So do tough times. If we didn’t have tough times, we could never become strong. Therefore, as uncomfortable as tough times are, the positive action is to embrace them.

2. Build patience

Patience is a great virtue. It keeps us from becoming spoiled and entitled. It deepens our character and fortifies our substance as a person. Tough times demand we learn patience. If we don’t, we’ll have a nervous breakdown or develop other mental, physical or emotional problems. We have to learn to wait. Patience is the virtue of waiting. All things come in their proper time. The seeds we plant must eventually bring a harvest. Patience is the process of nurturing the seeds to fruition.

3. Force us to rethink our lives and values

When times and conditions are rough and tough they force us to rethink life and our place in it. We often need this jolt. As Socrates said, The unexamined life is not worth living. Rethinking often leads us to reformulate how we manage our life and its circumstances. Such examination often sets us upon a new course to greater fulfillment. When we don’t examine our life, our actions, behaviors, morals, ethics and conduct, we become stale and swamp-esque. We need tough times to keep the waters of our being churning so they can cleanse themselves of impurities. Stagnant waters create stagnant lives.

4. Potentially transform us into diamonds

A common chunk of coal or a diamond-which would we rather be? If our choice is to become a diamond, we must submit ourselves to the heat, pressure and time necessary to create the most exquisite of all gems. By doing so, we will gain great value. The simple truth is that if we do not submit ourselves to the heat, pressure and time necessary to become a diamond, we will remain an ordinary old chunk of coal-common and relatively valueless. Diamonds are made under extreme heat and pressure over an extended period of time, not by a mere and casual blowing of an intermittent wind. Therefore, tough times are a welcome condition. Without them we remain unpressured, untried, unchanged… and common.

5. Make us appreciative and grateful

There is probably no greater spiritual virtue than being grateful and appreciative-not just for those things, events and conditions we personally like, but for everything we get in life, whether we perceive such things as blessings or not. Sometimes, the greatest gifts are the tough times, the heartaches, the heartbreaks, the stress-filled days, months, years or even decades. The bottom line of human life is that we are human. The human form should not be taken lightly. It has greater purpose and design than is commonly known. It is a blessing beyond blessings, and regardless of what our condition is in life, we should be grateful for it because, spiritually speaking, we may never get it again

6. Allow us to see what’s real and important

Tough times readjust our focus and make us see what’s important in life. Too often we get sidetracked into the superficial rags of materialism and worldly involvement. We become consumed with things that don’t matter at all, although we think they do matter. But what of the things that really matter-life itself, love, wholeness, health, family and… God.

7. Turn our consciousness Godward

This is the greatest benefit and blessing of tough times-they often force us to redirect our attention inward to God and away from all that is external, worldly, superficial, material and meaningless. Without tough times do we ever look inward? Honestly, no. We’re too involved with enjoying that which is external. The trouble with this approach is that we may become so magnetized by externals we live our entire life within the “Great Without,” forsaking the blessings and triumph-generating life of the “Great Within.”

Summary

Tough times do bring stress and hardship. However, when we open our eyes to their benefits we are greatly blessed. Only great stress can create great peace. Only great testing can create great souls. Let us, therefore, embrace the tough times with an undaunted spirit and grateful attitude. Doing so will be of enormous value to us and to our soul as we move through the highways and byways of our human journey.

Life-Like Qualities of Plasma

Bohm, a leading expert in twentieth century plasma physics, observed in amazement that once electrons were in plasma, they stopped behaving like individuals and started behaving as if they were a part of a larger and interconnected whole. Although the individual movements of each electron appeared to be random, vast numbers of electrons were able to produce collective effects that were surprisingly well organized and appeared to behave like a life form. The plasma constantly regenerated itself and enclosed impurities in a wall in the same way that a biological organism, like the unicellular amoeba, might encase a foreign substance in a cyst. So amazed was Bohm by these life-like qualities that he later remarked that he frequently had the impression that the electron sea was “alive” and that plasma possessed some of the traits of living things. The debate on the existence of plasma-based life forms has been going on for more than 20 years ever since some models showed that plasma can mimic the functions of a primitive cell.

Plasma cosmologist, Donald Scott, notes that “…a [plasma] double layer can act much like a membrane that divides a biological cell”. A model of plasma double layers (a structure commonly found in complex plasmas) has been used to investigate ion transport across biological cell membranes by researchers (See American Journal of Physics, May 2000, Volume 68, Issue 5, pp. 450-455). Researchers noted that “Concepts like charge neutrality, Debye length, and double layer [used in plasma physics] are very useful to explain the electrical properties of a cellular membrane”. Plasma physicist Hannes Alfvén also noted the association of double layers with cellular structure, as had Irving Langmuir before him, who coined the term “plasma” after its resemblance to living blood cells.

David Brin’s Sundiver also speculated on plasma life forms. This science fiction proposed a form of life existing within the plasma atmosphere of a star using complex self-sustaining magnetic fields. Similar types of plasmoid life have been proposed to exist in other places, such as planetary ionospheres or interstellar space. Gregory Benford had a form of plasma-based life exist in the accretion disk of a primordial black hole in his novel Eater.

Plasma Life Forms in Space

An international scientific team has discovered that under the right conditions, particles of inorganic dust can become organized into helical structures which can interact with each other in ways that are usually associated with organic life. Using a computer model of molecular dynamics, V N Tsytovich and his colleagues of the Russian Academy of Science showed that particles in plasma can undergo self-organization as electric charges become separated and the plasma becomes polarized in their paper entitled From Plasma Crystals and Helical Structures towards Inorganic Living Matter, published in the New Journal of Physics in August 2007.

Past studies, subject to Earth’s gravity, have shown that if enough particles are injected into a low-temperature plasma, they will spontaneously organize into crystal-like structures or “plasma crystals”. Tsytovich’s computer simulations suggest that in the gravity-free environment of space, the plasma particles will bead together to form string-like filaments which will then twist into helical strands resembling DNA that are electrically charged and are attracted to each other.

The helical structures undergo changes that are normally associated with biological molecules, such as DNA and proteins, say the researchers. They can, for instance, divide to form copies of the original structure; which then interact to induce changes in their neighbors that evolve into other new structures. The less stable structures break down over time leaving behind only the structures that are most adapted to the environment. “These complex, self-organized plasma structures exhibit all the necessary properties to qualify them as candidates for inorganic living matter”, says Tsytovich, “they are autonomous, they reproduce and they evolve”.

He adds that the ionized conditions needed to form these helical structures are common in outer space. If that is so, then it will mean that plasma life forms are the most common life form in the universe, given that plasma makes up more than 99% of our visible universe which is almost everywhere ionized. This is in stark contrast to carbon-based life forms, which according to the Rare Earth hypothesis proposed by Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee, would be rare in the universe due to a number of factors – including the need for an acceptable range of temperatures to survive. Complex carbon based life may be as rare as solid rocky bodies like the Earth in the universe.

Plasma, on the other hand, is associated with high temperatures. Plasma life forms would be much more adapted to environments which would be considered hostile to carbon-based life forms. It is possible that plasma life forms were already present in the gas and materials that formed the Earth 4.6 billion years ago. Carbon-based biomolecular life forms only appeared 1 billion years later. Tsytovich and other scientists (including Lozneanu and Sanduloviciu, discussed below) have proposed that plasma life forms, in fact, spurred development of organic carbon-based life on Earth.

In this connection, Tsytovich pointed out that plasma life forms can develop under more down to Earth conditions such as at the point of a lightning strike. The researchers hint that perhaps a plasma form of life emerged on the primordial Earth which had a highly ionized atmosphere, which then acted as the template for the more familiar organic molecules we know today. A plasma bubble could form at the end of a lightning strike and act as a mould for chemicals to conform with to form a primitive biological cell.

Plasma Life Forms in the Laboratory

This is not the first time in recent years that plasma life forms have been studied. In 2003 physicists; Erzilia Lozneanu and Mircea Sanduloviciu of Cuza University, Romania, described in their research paper Minimal Cell System created in Laboratory by Self-Organization (published in Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, volume 18, page 335), how they created plasma spheres in the laboratory that can grow, replicate and communicate – fulfilling most of the traditional requirements for biological cells. They are convinced that these plasma spheres offer a radically new explanation of how life began and proposed that they were precursors to biological evolution.

The researchers studied environmental conditions similar to those that existed on the Earth before life began, when the planet was enveloped in electric storms that caused ionized gases to form in the atmosphere. They inserted two electrodes into a chamber containing a low-temperature polarized plasma of argon – a gas in which some of the atoms have been split into negatively-charged electrons and positively-charged ions. They applied a high voltage to the electrodes, producing an arc of energy that bolted across the gap between them, like a miniature lightning strike. Sanduloviciu says this electric spark caused a high concentration of ions and electrons to accumulate at the positively charged electrode, which spontaneously formed spheres. The evolved sphere appears as a stable, self-confined, layered, luminous and nearly spherical body – much like the “orbs” described in the paranormal literature and discussed below. The amount of energy in the initial spark governed their size and lifespan. Sanduloviciu grew spheres from a few micrometers to up to three centimeters in diameter.

Lozneanu and Sanduloviciu describe a rhythmic “inhalation” of the nucleus which mimics the breathing process of living systems and results in pulsations. The spheres could replicate by splitting into two. Under the right conditions they grew bigger, taking up neutral argon atoms and splitting them into ions and electrons to replenish their boundary layers. Finally, they could communicate information by emitting electromagnetic energy, making the atoms within other spheres vibrate at a particular frequency. “This is no different from the vibrating diaphragm in a telephone which enables information to be communicated from one point to another,” says David Cohen, reporting in the journal New Scientist. This would give these plasma spheres an ability which would be described as telepathic if we did not know how electromagnetic waves worked. Sanduloviciu insists that although the spheres require high temperature to form, they can survive at lower temperatures. “That would be the sort of environment in which normal biochemical interactions occur”.

According to Sanduloviciu, these plasma spheres were the first cells on Earth, arising within electric storms, and he believes that the emergence of such spheres is a prerequisite for the evolution of biological cells. He says that the cell-like spheres could be at the origin of other forms of life we have not yet considered. “There could be life out there, but not as we know it” he says. Indeed, according to plasma metaphysics, the microscopic orbs (described in the paranormal literature) and the macroscopic subtle bodies (described in the metaphysical literature) are plasma-based life forms.

The Physical-Etheric Nucleus in Metaphysical Literature

Each subtle body has a nucleus – which metaphysicists Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant had described as a “permanent particle” almost a century ago. Leadbeater calls the nucleus of the higher etheric double a “physical-etheric atom”. Information about the relevant subtle body is stored in this particle (its composition, frequency, structure and associative memories). In this way the experiences that the subtle body has gone through in this universe are stored or are linked to this nucleus – according to Leadbeater and Besant. The particle is analogous to DNA in the biomolecular body. DNA is referred to as a “bioparticle” in the medical literature and it stores or links vast amounts of information about a particular life-form. Hindu metaphysics describes these particles or nuclei as “bindus” and Tibetan yoga “drops”.

The physical-etheric nucleus is transferred to higher energy bodies when the subtle body dies – serving the same purposes as a “black box” flight recorder in an airplane in preserving information about a particular life’s experiences. This nucleus is also responsible for the life review in a near-death experience. According to Besant, the permanent particles are used to preserve within themselves as “powers of vibrations” (i.e. different frequencies and waveforms) the results of all experiences through which they have passed. By the end of one’s life in the physical body, the permanent particle (or physical-etheric nucleus) would have stored up “innumerable powers of vibration” (i.e. a set of waveforms of different frequencies). The particle usually resides (probably in an electromagnetic well) around the heart region of the physical-biomolecular and lower physical-etheric body.

Plasma Orbs in Paranormal Literature

In 2004 (as reported in the Physical News Update by Phil Schewe and Ben Stein) an experiment was conducted where particles in a plasma crystal arranged themselves into neat concentric shells (or rings – from a two-dimensional perspective), to a total ball diameter of several millimeters. These orderly Coulomb balls, consisting of aligned, concentric shells of dust particles, survived for long periods. This structure was described as an “onion-like architecture”. (Dark matter halos around galaxies also have similar structures.)

Paranormal analyst, Allan Danelek (in his book The Case for Ghosts) says, “One could think of orbs as ‘tiny ghosts’ moving around a room, their essence being contained within a tiny sphere of pure energy, like air inside a bubble.” This description matches the description of life-like pulsating plasma spheres generated in the laboratory by Lozneanu and Sanduloviciu. Furthermore the pulsating plasma spheres would also give readings of a fluctuating electromagnetic field. Leading ghost hunter, Joshua Warren, says “Nine times out of ten, if a mysterious field is constant and stable, it’s artificial; if it fluctuates erratically, it’s paranormal.”

According to the paranormal literature “orbs” are light anomalies that appear on photographs and video as spherical balls of light but as flashes of light to the naked eye because of their rapid speed of motion. They exhibit intentional behavior – suggesting some consciousness or awareness of the environment.

Orbs often travel in groups or clusters i.e. they exhibit swarm behavior – also a characteristic of particles in plasma – a characteristic observed by Bohm (see above). Orbs also can dart back and forth rapidly like amoebic life-forms in a Petri dish. The balls can be transparent, translucent or in a bright solid form. These are signature features of magnetic plasma which has the natural property of being able to change its degree of opacity when internal frequencies change. Magnetic plasma would also allow orbs to change their output of light or luminosity.

Looking at these balls in close-up reveals that they possess an onion-like layered structure i.e. they have concentric shells – a signature feature of plasma crystals. Danelek says, “…’true orbs’ do not reflect light the same way a dust particle or flying insect does, but are instead generally more opaque and, in some cases, even appear to have rings within them.” Experienced ghost hunter Joshua Warren (in his excellent book How to Hunt Ghosts) says, “Often, orbs appear to have a nucleus, just like a cell. The nucleus might be surrounded by ‘bands’ – concentric circles emerging from it. In fact, it might appear like an onion that’s been chopped in half.” All these characteristics are identical to plasma crystals generated in the laboratory.

Some believe that an orb is a human soul or the life force of those that once inhabited a physical-dense body. Psychics claim to be able to communicate with them on a regular basis, and ghost hunters encounter them quite frequently in photographs and video. It is thought that they are conscious spirits that have stayed behind because they feel bound to their previous life or previous location for whatever reason – a typical characteristic of “Earth-bound” physical-etheric ghosts. According to plasma metaphysics, (genuine) orbs are plasma life forms and are identical to the physical-etheric nuclei observed by metaphysicists Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant that are released from dying persons.

According to plasma metaphysics, (genuine) orbs are the physical-etheric nuclei that are released from dying persons. Most of these nuclei exit-out of our universe through vortexes after the death of the higher physical-etheric body and are absorbed into the next higher energy body in the next universe – most frequently what metaphysicists describe as the “astral body” and the “astral plane or sphere”. However, some stay behind because of unfinished business or some psychological attachment to the physical life that just ended. These are the (genuine) orbs that we see in photographs and videos. This conclusion is consistent with the theory of some paranormal investigators that spirits may find it easier to travel from one dimension to another in the form of orbs which can move more easily (than full-blown subtle bodies) through vortexes to another universe.

A number may also get reabsorbed into the dark plasma halos that envelope human embryos to start a new life in this physical-dense universe (i.e. they reincarnate in a physical-dense body). They grow with the embryo and facilitate the morphogenesis of the physical-dense and lower physical-etheric body. As they grow they absorb more energy and particles from the ionized (physical-etheric) environment and eventually become full-blown ovoids with “subtle bodies” inside. In this particular case, the subtle body will be the (higher) physical-etheric body or the “physical-double”.

During death, the ovoid contracts into the physical-etheric nucleus (by dispersing its contents) and is released from the dying physical body after traveling through a meridian (which is associated with the lower physical-etheric body) and exits from the head to emerge as an orb with a bright nucleus. Details of this process can be found in the author’s book Our Invisible Bodies.

Interactions with Ordinary Matter

Orbs resemble plasma spheres in many ways. However, while plasma spheres generated in the laboratory are composed of standard particles (i.e. the particles described in the physicists’ Standard Model currently), orbs are composed of super (i.e. supersymmetric) collisionless dark matter particles. This allows orbs to pass through objects and walls (just like ghosts).

Dark matter in the physical-etheric universe can only interact with ordinary matter if their energy levels temporarily fall and ordinary matter condenses around them. Warren believes that since ghosts have an electrostatic field, it makes sense that particles from the atmosphere would be trapped in the field. This would form a tiny clump of particles that betrays the presence of the ghost. He says that, based on readings on electromagnetic meters during paranormal investigations, paranormal orbs carry a charge of static electricity. Dr Michael Persinger, a lab-based parapsychologist, and his colleagues demonstrated a link between strong or varying electromagnetic fields and orb activity. Orbs are also said to travel along Birkeland currents (i.e. ley or energy lines). This is another characteristic of their electromagnetic nature – which suggests that they are composed of magnetic plasma which is a good generator of electromagnetic fields and a good radiator of electromagnetic waves.

According to Warren, orbs are most active in the deep infrared region. In 1983, physicist Pierre Sikivie proposed a technique to detect invisible dark matter particles called “axions”. His technique called for a high “Q” microwave cavity, permeated by a strong static magnetic field. In the magnetic field, axions were expected to convert into microwave photons. Microwaves are in between the infrared region and radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. If ghosts are composed of dark matter particles, it can be hypothesized that they too would generate microwave and infrared radiation in the presence of a strong static magnetic field and even radio waves which can be received by our radios.

Subtle Bioplasma Bodies in the Metaphysical Literature

According to plasma metaphysics (see Jay Alfred, Our Invisible Bodies, 2006) the subtle bodies described in the general metaphysical literature (particularly the yoga and New

Age literature) are bioplasma bodies.

The Subtle Body is a Bioplasma Body

Subtle bodies have signature features associated with plasma. These include:

• Networks of filamentary currents (known as “nadis” or “meridians” in the metaphysical literature).

• Helical currents, aligned with the spine, which resemble helical pinches and “snakes” often found in plasma.

• Plasma vortexes (know as “chakras” in the metaphysical literature) caused by the helical movement of particles entering the bioplasma body.

• Jets or beams of collimated light that issue out from these vortexes which evidence a plasma discharge (similar to what issues out of a plasma gun).

• A magnetized plasma ovoid which surrounds and shields subtle bodies from the environment (just as the Earth is protected by the magnetosphere – a sphere composed of collisionless magnetized plasma).

• A plasma (Langmuir) sheath (know as an “auric sheath” or “auric shell” in the metaphysical literature) which encloses the ovoid.

• The ability of subtle bodies to pass through each other suggesting that they are composed of collisionless plasma.

• The ability of subtle bodies to emit light (not simply reflect them) that generate colorful halos.

• The ability of subtle bodies to change their degree of opacity – becoming transparent or translucent.

• The electrical feel of subtle bodies.

• The responsiveness of subtle bodies to electromagnetic fields.

All these features were described and documented more than 2,000 years ago, mainly in the Hindu and Chinese acupuncture literature; but also alluded to in the Buddhist and Christian scriptures and literature – long before the age of electricity and magnetism which was only sparked-off in the eighteenth century. Furthermore, the list above is not exhaustive – it is only meant to be a sample of the features of subtle bodies which unmistakably points to plasma. Details of the above observations can be found in the previous articles and books by this author.

The Spark of Life

According to plasma metaphysics, subtle bodies live in a magnetic plasma sphere (an ordinarily invisible counterpart Earth) – an environment similar to the early (physical-dense) Earth.

During in vitro fertilization the human embryo is given an electrical jolt to spark-off cell division. The purpose of this routine electrical intervention is not known. All is known is that cell division is unlikely to occur in the absence of this electrical intervention. According to plasma metaphysics (Our Invisible Bodies, 2006), this electrical spark is necessary to generate a plasma bubble which acts as a catalyst during embryogenesis. Unlike a biomolecular environment, a plasma environment allows long-range correlations, without which a 3 dimensional structure could not be projected from a 1 dimensional gene. An embryo within a human body is protected by the plasma bubble (i.e. the physical-etheric double) of the mother and inherits a bubble within this environment. (In this process, it acquires what the Qigong literature refers to as “prenatal qi”.)

Accelerated Morphogenesis of the Bioplasma Double

An embryonic bioplasma body is projected into the plasma bubble based on information in the physical-etheric double of the DNA. In fact, subtle radiation containing holographic information was observed by researchers at the Russian Academy of Science as a surprise effect during experiments when they were measuring the vibrational modes of DNA in solution using a sophisticated laser photon correlation spectrometer. According to Sue Benford, their research suggests the existence of a subtle radiation linked to physical DNA that supports the hypothesis of an intact energy field containing relevant ‘organismal information’. The Russian experiments produced different measurements when DNA was present and removed from the scattering chamber. These results were contrary to the expectations of the experimenters. After duplicating the initial experiment many times with re-calibrated equipment, the scientists were forced to accept that some new field structure existed. This embryonic bioplasma body within the plasma bubble (which contains helical currents) grows together with the physical-biomolecular body but at an accelerated rate, being aided by the long range correlations present in the plasma but absent in the biochemical field.

Morphogenesis of the Physical Biomolecular Body

There is mutual affinity between the bioplasma and physical-biomolecular bodies. In fact, the term “plasma” is derived from a Greek word meaning “to mould” and was coined by Langmuir based on his observations of the manner in which the positive column of a glow discharge tended to mould itself to the containing tube. Similarly, the bioplasma fetus wraps around the physical-biomolecular embryo while undergoing an accelerated morphogenesis (relative to the physical-biomolecular embryo).

The physical-biomolecular body therefore is cued by the bioplasma body which acts an electronic matrix and a time-resolved hologram that guides its development. The bioplasma body, in turn, acts as a mould or a template body for the development of the single-celled physical-biomolecular embryo to the adult body. This has frequently been pointed out by metaphysicists, including Leadbeater, Besant and Barbara Brennan.

Complex biological evolution could not have taken place on Earth without the aid of the templates provided by subtle bioplasma bodies which interacted with biochemical fields via weak electromagnetic fields. These bioplasma bodies are composed of high energy particles and inhabit (magnetized) plasmaspheres which share the same space and gravitational field as the physical-dense Earth. The lowest energy plasmasphere has been described by metaphysicists as the physical-etheric Earth.

Conclusion

As proposed by Tsytovich, Lozneanu and Sanduloviciu, the physical-dense plasma cell was a precursor to the biological cell in the early (physical-dense) Earth – acting as a template or mould for the biological cell to form in 3 dimensional space. However, the lightning strikes that generated the physical-dense plasma cells also generated physical-etheric plasma cells in the physical-etheric Earth. As the conditions on Earth changed and the environment became progressively less ionized, the physical-dense plasma cell was less frequently generated. However, the physical-etheric plasma cell (existing in the physical-etheric Earth) remained as it participated in the development of the biological body to which it was attached to and subsequently was transmitted together with the biological cells in various forms of reproduction – both asexual and sexual.

A lot of people ask me, “How fast does feng shui work?”

That’s because most of you want to know how soon you can expect to see results in your life after implementing feng shui into your home. Those with little knowledge and experience may either have pessimistic or overly optimistic expectations about exactly how much and how soon the changes they make in their home can start to help them by having an impact on their lives.

How fast and by what degree feng shui can start to have an impact on your life depends on your personal circumstances. There is a vast multitude of possible situations relating to each person’s love life and relationships, health and well-being, wealth matters and career goals. The feng shui concepts that are best to implement for a specific problem have varying levels of success and various time lines until we start noticing improvements in our lives. It also depends on whether the problem that you are trying to eradicate from your life is a persistent one, which will require a long term solution and therefore take a longer time to resolve, or whether the problem is only temporary and can therefore be resolved sooner. Examples of persistent problems include the following:

• Despite my efforts, I have never been able to save money

• I feel as though my love life has been none-existent for years

Long term problems such as these require long term solutions. To think that you will be able to adjust the balance of energy in your home and start seeing immediate results is unrealistic. If you make the proper changes in your home, you can expect to see modest results within a few months, depending on the severity of the situation.

Examples of situations in your life which may be temporary, and will therefore require different solutions include things such as:

• In the last few months, I feel like my relationship with my other half has become stale and lacks passion

• I am recently having some difficulties growing my personal investments (a problem I didn’t have until recently)

Another point to remember is that feng shui relates to your Earth luck, and your own personal effort to overcome your own challenges is another factor that will affect the amount of time it takes. In Chinese culture there are also ‘Man Luck’ (which is your own personal luck based on your efforts in life) and ‘Heaven Luck’ (which was instilled into you at birth, and is something you have no control over). Although we cannot do much to control our Heaven Luck, we can do things to adjust our ‘Man Luck’ and our Earth Luck. Some quick adjustments to your home can yield results within a few days if the problem itself is a temporary one. This problem may be caused by the Chinese calendar year changing (from the 4th of February every year), which will mean that the energy of your home could have suddenly been altered. In these cases, making the proper adjustments to your environment can yield almost immediate effects, but it requires you to have enough knowledge to be able to make the correct changes in your home.

Like it or not, behind every animal’s eyes is a life that matters. There is a living being with a mind, a beating heart, and feelings. They are all unique, want to live and feel pain just as you and I. Yet, most people do not see animals as individuals and do not even treat them with the respect they deserve.

So, where is our humanity? Why do so many people not want to wake up to the truth? What pushes us to destroy ourselves? How can we remedy the problem before it is too late?

You and I, as human beings, have the responsibility to protect Earth and all its inhabitants. All animals deserve freedom, respect, dignity, love, empathy, care and life. Believe it or not, the way you eat has a profound effect on your health, the environment and the animals that live on this planet.

The tsunami of diseases which abound is mostly caused by our lifestyle. And the fascinating thing is that the major driving force that creates illnesses is the human dependency on animal nutrition. Yet, behind every animal’s eyes is a life you could not end yourself. Am I right?

“Eating death only makes us tired, age faster and get sick. It is bad karma.” – K.VD.

The Excessive Animal Consumption

In previous centuries, meat was considered a luxury and average citizens never got it. Then, as time passed, people included it in a meal once a week, often on Sundays. But today, most people can afford it which in a way does not help. Despite all the warnings, they are eating more and more meat.

And in today’s life, it is a normal part of most people’s diet because it became a tradition. Yet, it links to heart diseases. And I won’t talk about dairy products. The excessive consumption of animal-based proteins or processed food damages your body and diminishes your blood supply.

As a fact, years of scientific studies and conclusive evidence prove it. On the other hand, plant-based diets cannot only prevent the progression of heart disease or cancer but can also reverse its effects. No matter your age, you can use plant foods as cure or medicine to avoid many problems later on in life.

Behind Every Animal’s Eyes

Obviously, behind every animal’s eyes, there is a heart. Yet, when a person murders an animal, it is often called a sport. But when an animal wants to kill a person, it is called ferocity. Yet, when it really comes down to it, humans are the cruelest species. So, aren’t we contradicting ourselves?

If you want to live a long and healthy life and contribute something to this world, then you have to act. You only pass through this world but once. And if you can do any good thing or show any kindness to any living creature, do it. Do not neglect it because you will not pass that way again.

So, look deep into any animal’s eyes, and then for a moment, trade places. Suddenly, you see their life becomes as precious as yours and you become as vulnerable as them. Now, realize that all animals deserve your respect and your protection, for in a way, they are you, and you are them.

“Animals are my friends and I don’t eat my friends.” – George Bernard Shaw

The Life in an Animal’s Eyes

If you are an animal lover, you probably already know that many animals are extremely intelligent and have emotions. Like humans, countless living creatures develop strong bonds with their young, love them and have friends.

And they even have special calls for the ones they care about, the same way you give your friends and family nicknames.

Yet, most humans only consider animals as food, trophy or objects. Too often, countless people treat them like commodities rather than individuals. So, most of them never get to experience these remarkable bonds. Instead, a lot of human beings expose to a life filled with fear, stress, pain, sadness, and death.

“To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. The more helpless the creature the more that it is entitled to protection by man from the cruelty of man.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Animals Are Innocent Souls

An animal’s eyes have the power to speak an amazing language when you take the time to look into them. Remember also that compassion for other innocent living beings is the true judge of character. Animals have as much right as us to be here on this planet since they were created along with us.

And whoever said that they were ours to do whatever we please with? You may be a meat-eater; yet, I am not judging you but only trying to show you facts. So, do not mock vegan people as they are just individuals who have the crazy idea that no animal should suffer.

However, humanity can no longer stand by and watch our beautiful animals be used and abused in so many ways. Look in an animal’s eyes and make a stand, big or small, personal or public. Do it before it is too late. Remember, it takes nothing away to be kind to these gentle souls.

When we realize that virtually every aspect of our business and personal life requires negotiation, the benefit of being a better, more efficient negotiator is clear.

Negotiating skills are not usually part of our formal education, though we use these skills all day, every day. These skills are at the very core of both our professional and personal lives. It doesn’t matter if we run General Motors or the corner snowball stand or our households, we all have to communicate and convince effectively.

What is negotiation, anyway? Negotiating can be explained as simply as “working side by side with other to achieve some beneficial result.” Luckily, it is a practical skill that can be learned. It is not a genetic trait we’re born with, like blue eyes or black hair. So no matter what our age or our position in life, if we develop a certain attitude about negotiating, pay attention to honing our skills, then our life will run smoother.

Some things to remember when developing a negotiating strategy:

o Act collaboratively, not competitively. It is not “me against you.” When we see the other person as a bargaining partner, we are aware that everyone must come away with a benefit. It is a big mistake to think someone is going to give you something for nothing. So try to determine what it is the other person might want, in exchange for what you want. And then present your case to show them that, if they will help you get what you need, you will help them get what they need. Make “Mutual Benefit” your mantra.

o Personalize the situation; deal as individuals, not as institutions or corporations. You are not talking to “the Tchula bank” but to Charlie Smith, the person sitting in front of you, who represents the bank. Flesh and blood Charlie Smith. Realize that you negotiate on behalf of yourself, representing the company. When you see the other person in this light, you are able to look them in the eye. This eye contact

o Increase your expectations. You usually get what you expect to get. If you don’t think you will get the promotion, you probably won’t. If you don’t think you will land the contract, you probably won’t. There is no way you will put your best effort forward if you think, in the back of your mind, you won’t succeed anyway. So you might as well act as if you expect to get whatever it is you want. You will be pleasantly surprised when you do! You see, when you truly expect to get what it is you are seeking, others see this in you.

o Know what you want. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? But surprisingly, there are many times when we go in to a negotiating session saying, “Let’s see what they offer us.” Why let the other person decide what you will get? Nobody knows your business or your life as you do. Being able to state specific proposals gives you strength.

o Stay focused on the real issues. Decide what you absolutely want to come away with; what extra’s it would be nice to come away with; and what you can do without if you need to give them up to reach an agreement. Why do you need to determine these things in advance? Because in the “heat of battle” you won’t be able to focus on these issues so easily, and you could be very surprised at what you didn’t get or at what you gave away.

o Prepare. Do you homework; thoroughly research the person or company with which you’ll be dealing. Is the company an innovative one or a staid one? Is the person with whom you are negotiating known for being creative or for being more traditional? With all the information available on the Internet today, there is virtually nothing we can’t find out beforehand. Whether we are researching a corporation or a person. Just Google-ing someone is likely to bring up something we didn’t know. And of course, there is the old-fashioned way: just ask. Ask industry colleagues (non-competing ones) or acquaintances. It should not surprise you how much people like to talk about what and who and how much they know!

o Make time your ally. Try to know your counterpart’s deadline without giving away yours. Why? Because if I know your deadline to solve a problem or come to an agreement, I can stall any decision up to the point I know you have to make a decision. Most concessionary behavior and settlement action occur close to someone’s deadline; don’t let it be yours.

These are just a few of the many points necessary to knowing more about the negotiating process. Will practicing negotiation skills take time and effort? Of course. But becoming a more efficient, smarter negotiator will bring you many rewards in both your professional and personal life.

There is a certain sense of stability in the physical world that most of us take for granted. However, in the current realm of UFO abduction literature, the term ‘physical world’ may need some redefinition. UFO abductees have found their world stretched and distorted in a way that defies modern science. Testimony from abductees now includes levitation, paralysis, telepathy, and startling visions. To ignore these reports is to ignore the vast amount of evidence that seems to be mounting from many personal accounts. To accept these reports blindly, however, is to accept data whose source is testimony from hypnosis, vague memories, and spontaneous recall. Are abductees really levitating out of their beds at night, floating up to a hovering UFO, and being subjected to physical examinations? Perhaps this question can be answered by looking closer at abductee’s testimony.

In the last decade, UFO abduction researchers Budd Hopkins and Whitley Strieber have strongly promoted the notion of physical abductions as a norm for UFO contact with humans. However, from a published article in UFO Magazine (Vol. 4, Num. 4), researcher Ann Druffel offered a new perspective on the abduction phenomena. This perspective altered the focus of an abduction from something physical to something within the mind. Ann Druffel, in her book ‘The Tujunga Canyon Contacts’, tells of hypnotic regression of a particular abductee named Emily who ‘learned that if she could manage to move even one toe or finger, the paralysis broke and the creatures vanished.’ The article goes on to report that Emily could use mental effort to wake her roommate and also break the abduction paralysis. In another case Ms. Druffel notes that the abductee was able to break out of the ‘contact’ by making a sound or mantra within herself.

Breaking out of the alleged abduction by shear force of will is just one clue of its non physical nature. Are there others? Looking at the varied testimony of abductees, one gets the sense of the lack of coincidence from report to report. One person stated that she was transported through her apartment wall. While others feel the abductors take them ‘by hand’ into waiting UFO’s. Whitley Strieber, in his book ‘Transformation’, writes about his attempts at astral travel and the similarity of that experience to his abductions. He also notes the strangeness factor of abduction reports from his article in UFO Magazine (Vol 4, Num 2). Strieber writes, ‘Of the 690 narratives sent to me by Communion and Transformation readers, only a few appear to support these present theories of abduction. The vast majority instead describe perceptions and experiences far stranger than any reported by mainstream abduction researchers.’ Another UFO researcher, Richard Grossinger, writes of the inability of contactees to distinguish between the concrete or real and the psychic or hallucinatory. He suggests that we may be dealing with both levels of reality thereby creating the current paradox of conflicting abduction testimonies.

Before the ‘Communion’ and ‘Intruders’ phenomenon, astrophysicist and UFO researcher Jacques Vallee cautioned the conception of UFO’s as being something truly physical. Vallee’s position is that individual and social psychological manipulation of UFO contactees may not be extraterrestrial at all but encounters with another reality. He suggests that the intelligence community worldwide is probably ‘in the dark’ about most aspects of the UFO phenomena. On the MJ-12 document he writes, ‘Given the names on the list of MJ-12 scientists, however, it seems to me their work could have had an entirely different orientation, having to do with psychological warfare. I scratched the surface of that issue in ‘Messengers of Deception’, and I got burned because the UFO research community was not ready to even consider that side of the problem’. Now that the verdict is out on the MJ-12 documents with Bill Moore’s revelation of planted information, Dr. Vallee’s comments seem much more potent.

In his book ‘Dimensions’, Dr. Vallee strongly emphasizes the psychological nature of UFO encounters. His research has shown that historically, UFO encounters have been perceived to be the common myths of the time period such as the miracle at Fatima, Portugal in 1917. ‘The events at Fatima involve luminous spheres, lights with strange colors, a feeling of ‘heat waves’-all physical characteristics commonly associated with UFOs. They also encompass prophecy and a loss of ordinary consciousness on the part of witnesses – what we have called the psychic component of UFO sightings’ (p 174). Dr. Vallee even implies that much of human history may have been shaped by the psychological effects of UFO encounters and that the shape may have a purpose.

Extraterrestrial or not, it seems that abductions by UFOs are much more psychological in nature than physical. Yet the common belief is in physical contact! Is this what we are meant to believe?

The Unitive Field is a surprising book. It’s full of color and beautiful pictures, but more importantly, mind-blowing concepts as big as the black holes in some of its images.

Fredrick Swaroop Honig’s goal in writing this book is to combine the science of physics with the science of consciousness. Considering that Honig is related to the groundbreaking scientist Lise Meitner, and he himself is an ordained monk in the Holy Order of Sannyas, a minister of Integral Yoga, and the guardian of a botanical garden and bird sanctuary in Maui, that makes for a not-so-surprising but definitely fascinating goal. Honig achieves that goal with great simplicity in this short 140-page book that will leave you filled with wonder and wanting to read it again to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

The book is organized into twelve primary chapters, each one asking a fundamental question that remains unanswered in the current standard model of physics. Honig then provides insightful answers to these questions. While I’m not a scientist, I found the answers fascinating and life-affirming. I have read books on quantum physics that have made me believe in the scientific basis of such ideas as the Law of Attraction; therefore, this book resonated with my spiritual side and I found that the science in these pages validated many of my own beliefs about life, the Universe, and our reason for being on this planet.

Before introducing his twelve fundamental questions, Honig spends a few pages discussing how the idea of the Unitive Field is founded in science, and he provides quotes from Albert Einstein, Lise Meitner, and Isaac Newton to support that statement. He points out that Einstein “spent the second half of his life searching for one theory that would explain all the laws of physics. Intuitively, he believed that all of nature’s laws would be explained by one fundamental law that he called Unified Field Theory.” Honig also points out that like his maternal grandmother’s cousin, Lise Meitner, he was encouraged to “Listen to your parents but think for yourself.”

A few of the twelve questions Honig asks are: How many dimensions exist in the universe? What is the nature of consciousness, and how did it arise? Will the universe continue to expand, or will it contract back into singularity? What factors govern the evolution of life forms in the universe? What is human consciousness & free will, and how can it align with unitive consciousness and intention?

Honig then provides answers to each question, and although each chapter is relatively short, each one is also jammed with more information than I can describe in such a short review. Therefore, I’ll just mention a couple of the points that surprised and delighted me.

One was the idea of a Hreem, the power of the life force, and how it ties to a creature’s intention and desire to live. Honig lists different creatures on earth and the strength of their desire to exist, or more specifically, “the magnitudes of the Hreem force’s causal intentions (ci) in the evolutionary progression of life forms.” He says that “a virus has an intention to live and propagate that is equivalent to .01 Hreem.” By comparison, a bird’s is 10,000 and a human’s is 1,000,000. For me, while I respect all forms of life, this explained to me a lot about lifespans of various organisms as well as the degree of the precariousness of their existence.

What I most appreciated, though, was the book’s positive message and how it was backed up by scientific and mathematic calculations. We live in a culture full of doom and gloom and predictions of the world’s impending destruction, but Honig discusses how the universe expands and goes through cycles of 144 billion years. He states, “According to Unitive Field Theory, only the expansive force of the big launch and the contractive gravitational force of the universe’s collective mass-energy determine this expansion rate. Therefore, the universe’s rate of expansion is not increasing. The universe will ultimately recycle back into the primal singularity, and not one atom, nor one calorie of energy, will be lost in the process.” Furthermore, “Unitive Field Theory predicts that the universe will reverse its expansion within 72 billion years from the big launch and will, within the next 72 billion years, contract and return to its primal singularity… This is an eternal cycle. What goes up will come down. All of nature moves in cycles; there are no one-way trips in nature. This universe will be recycled into the next universe.”

I imagine this statement means that the world can be destroyed, but even if that happens, to some degree, we are all eternal since not “one calorie of energy, will be lost in the process.”

As Honig concludes, “In truth, we are one. There is no division between any of us, or between us, and the Unitive Field itself. There exists only one Unitive Field of consciousness, and we are all parts of that field, and at the same time, one with the field itself. Just as a wave is one with the ocean, at the same time, it is a wave. So we are one with the field itself, even if we have localized consciousness.”

There is so much more I could say about this book. I will leave it up to the scientists to determine how accurate it is. What I know from reading it is, ultimately, what I’ve always known-that our lives matter, that there is no death, and our purpose on this earth, as Honig states, is “to be of service. That is the secret of the universe and of Unitive Field Theory. Live to serve and you will be aligned with the causal intention of Unitive Consciousness.”

If you read this book, I believe you will come away a better person because you are a wiser one. You will understand why it is the right thing to be kind and how closely we are all connected to one another. I thank Fredrick Swaroop Honig for bringing this enlightening message to our world in a way that makes the most complicated science comprehensible because, in truth, in all of its complexity, the universe has perfect harmony in its design.
