.. Here we are, each and every one of us, consciousness centred in our veryown •• custom-made psycho-physiological energy vehicle I(our body, ,that is), trying to figure out who we are, where we are and where we are going. It seems, howev __ er, that we are missing some obvious answers, or, more correctly, overJooking answers that we already know. We ponder whether time travel is possible, whilst forgetting that we are doing it right now. Each and every moment of our lives is spent travelling through time and spacc, our physical bodies doing so in a linear fashion, whilst our minds oscillate between the experi ence of the moment that is occurring now and the mental projections of possible pasts and futures. We long to know if there is other intelligent life in the universe, even though surround ed by intelligent and sentient life-forms other than our fellow human time-travellers. How easily we forget tha't the myriad species that populate the environmental envelope of our living planet-and the planet itself-are all foqns of living intelligence. We wonder whether reality consists of more dimensions than just those we detect with our physica~ senses, yet we fail to recognise that the 'mental spaces' we construct within our minds to even consider such a question, indeed, the very act of thinking itself, clearly takes place outside the physical dimensions of reality. It would seem that it is largely our own failure to recognise and accept the reality of our reality that is responsible for keeping us stumbling through life 'like ignorant fools. Even as we thirst for knowledge, we so often fail to notice that we are swimming in a sea of answers. 'Homo Electromagneticus' and The Infinite Ocean It appears that our capacity as self-aware entities to detect and interact with the various levels of reality with which we're capable of interfacing depends entirely on the manner in which we tune our 'reality engtnes', and thus the level of performance at which we can get them to operate. Our reality engine consists of all parts of our being, including our bod ies, brains, minds, souls and spirits. The energy that fuels these engines has been known in various cultures throughout the ages by differing names including chi, prana, kundalini, orgone, od, and so on, but let's simply refer to it as life-force. The concept of life-force can no longer be dismissed as unscientific or as a mere by product of irrational or mystical thinking. The highly respected two-time Nobel Prize nominee Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the field of electromedicine, makes this clear when he states: "...the latest scientific revolution has validated the ancient, preliterate concept of "life energy", not as some mystical, unknowable force but as measurable electromagnetic forces that act within the body as organised control systems. These electromagnetic forces appear capable ofbeing accessed through some ofthe techniques ofshaman-heal ers as well as through modem, direct intervention with similar forces. These ideas have led to the development of the new medical paradigm, energy medicine, which is currently being slowly integrated into orthodox medicine. "We have also seen how these control systems relate certain basic functions of living organisms to the electromagnetic environment ..., [a] little understood but vitally impor tant link. "I The electromagnetic environment to which Becker refers is the primary energy field through which we interact with the material dimensions of reality. We are literally embedded within it, and it within us. APRIL -MAY 1995 NEXUS • 31
