Welcome to the Electricity of Life,
brought to you by The Thunderbolts Project™ at Thunderbolts.info
In part 1 of this presentation, our guest Dawson Church discussed his remarkable
investigation into the role of consciousness in one's physical well-being.
In his book 'Mind to Matter' Dawson cites voluminous scientific
research which suggests that our minds can profoundly affect our bodies and
even the external world.
Emotions can be "stored" in the body and over time can lead to imbalance and illness.
In this conclusion, Dawson begins by addressing the notion,
which is highly controversial in Western medicine, that energy exists in the body
and can aid in healing.
I've read critics, for example, who say there's no plausible role for energy in biology
or in medicine or in healing and when I read those comments, I think hey
guy, have you ever looked at an MRI of our magnetic field?
Our EEG is reading our electrical field, it's reading the electro-activity of the brain.
You can measure those fields of the body, 15 feet up from the body with a simple device.
I carry a little pocket device called the galvanometer with me when I
go to conferences or to do the demonstrations and in just a few seconds
I can show where your acupuncture points are because they have a different electrical
charge than the skin around them.
So we are energy beings and MRI’s, EEGs, all these things, use those phenomena to
diagnose and to treat people who are sick, so they're energy medicine too, energy
shifts produce dramatic changes in cells and in bodies and again, I have a lot of
these stories in Mind toMatter, a lot of these studies in Mind to Matter.
There's lots of case histories, lots of evidence, there are lots of
randomized controlled trials.
On our nonprofit website, we have over 600 studies, people healing from anything, from
Alzheimer's to ADHD to obesity to kidney disease to metabolic failure, all kinds of healing studies.
are people who use energy therapies like Reiki, like EFT, energy
medicine, Johrei, therapeutic touch and so on and so yeah, this isn't, you know, three
studies, this is over a thousand studies cumulatively of these kinds of
techniques and they show that energy therapies are, not only are they
often effective, they're often effective really quickly.
Dawson explores in 'Mind to Matter' the scientific research of Dr. Bill Bengston
which showed remarkable effects of quote 'energy healing' in many laboratory experiments.
While The Thunderbolts Project, as always, takes no position on
these questions, we asked Dawson to enumerate the findings of Dr. Bengston’s studies.
Yeah, Bill is unique because there are a lot of animal trials,
Bill's method which is called cycling.
It's the energy healing technique where people hold their hands over a human
being or over an animal and they do a mental process that is designed to
shift the energy of the disease and Bill's work is unique because there are
now 13 randomized controlled trials that various people have done of his method
on, usually on mice and the usual way these experiments are done is that
the mice were injected with a substance that causes them to develop
cancer and they develop these large mammary cancers which eventually crush
the organs and they die in usually 15 to 20 days. The longest a mouse has ever
survived in these trials is 21 days.
And in Bill's research, in the research of Bill's method, just a study
after, he finds that these mice heal.
These mice heal and not only do they heal from those cancers, they did
live out the full lifespan of a mouse, which is about two years, and they're
immune to cancer after that as well.
In one really cool trial I report in Mind to Matter, they had Bill sending energy to a
group of mice at a distant location and they were measuring the electromagnetism
in the room right below the cage that held the mice.
And so, at random intervals a buzzer was sound
in Bill's home a long way away, he would then send energy to this cage of mice in
a room at a university, distantly, and then there are other mice in other
cages in other parts of the university but only one, which was in a room painted
green, that he was targeting.
So mice in the green room got energy from Bill, the mice in the red and purple rooms,
different parts of the campus, didn't get that and they had this magnetometer
underneath the cage and at the very moments when there were those signals
for Bill to send energy to those mice, the magnetometer fluctuated by about 25
percent so massive shifts in electromagnetism, this is an energy field.
It supposed to be totally stable at any geographical point on the Earth's
surface, and energy fluctuated hugely and only at the very moment when Bill sent
energy to mice in the green room and the magnetometers in the purple and red
rooms were unaffected.
So energy heals, there's so much evidence for this that I really urge people to use
energy approaches, they're not invasive, there are no bad side effects,
they don’t hurt your body, in fact in one review I cover in the book in Mind to
Matter, I show that there are 175 studies published over
the last 50 years showing the beneficial effects of various energy therapies on
our bodies and these effects Nare not small.
Stem cells regenerating, stem cells adhering to diseased tissue and repairing it,
telomeres lengthening, enzymes that are helpful to our metabolism--increasing
in amounts; stress hormones, like cortisol-- decreasing, immune factors like
immunoglobulins increasing, all of these things happening on the basis of energy treatments.
So even though it's energy, its producing massive shifts to the
physical material of our bodies.
When I began to look at the science of how our consciousness affects the world around
us, I thought I would find a few suggestive studies.
What I was surprised at was how many things I found and what they show.
And so it turns out that there is evidence, either subjective evidence or
really solid evidence, that our consciousness, human consciousness
affects the four fundamental forces of physics and those are electromagnetism,
gravity, the strong nuclear force that holds the atom together, and also the
weak nuclear force which is measured in the radioactive decay of
uranium, plutonium, americium, francium, all of those elements, they give off
these particles and then degenerate over the course of years.
That is the weak nuclear force, but there's evidence that all four of these forces are
affected by human awareness and the most interesting practical studies I
talk about in the book are those conducted on water.
And so, water is a very simple molecule, it has one big oxygen atom, two small hydrogen atoms
attached to it and the bonding angle between those three atoms is 104.5
degrees and that's just a constant, it's been measured for
close to a century, we know the angle at which those two hydrogens join
that big oxygen, is always 104.5 degrees.
That's just a fact, so one of the most intriguing
studies was done looking at that bonding angle after water had been blessed by a
Healing Touch practitioner.
So the practitioner held his hands over the vial or glass of water, didn't actually touch
it but held his hands near it, had the intention of healing flowing through his
hands and then the water was measured again.
And that bonding angle between those two hydrogens changed from 104.5
degrees to less than that. There was a substantial change in the actual
molecular structure of water that was blessed by a healer.
Then in another series of studies, researchers took water
that had been blessed and used it to water plants and they found that the
plants that had been watered with blessed water, grew much faster, much stronger,
had a higher chlorophyll content than those that were watered with control water.
And so it looks from these kinds of trials
that we are literally able to shift, purely by intention, the molecules at least
of water around us.
Now, there's other research which I talk about in the book showing that we can
affect DNA and this series of phases was really intriguing because they had
people intend to change the configuration of DNA and DNA of course
is a double helix, has certain degree of twist, it looks like a ladder but a
twisted ladder and the amount of twist, the degree of twist in a sample of DNA
can be measured using some elaborate equipment, so researchers said to
these volunteers in the study they said, ok, here's a beaker containing
human DNA and we want you to make that DNA twist tighter and so these people
sat there in the room at the beaker thinking of DNA, focused their attention on the DNA
to put the twist tighter, the scientists measured the DNA after the attention,
nothing happened.
But then they had those volunteers enter a deeply coherent state
so when you're meditating, when you're in deep meditation, your heart rhythm
becomes coherent, your brain rhythm becomes coherent and those entrain your whole body.
When those coherent people projected their attention into the DNA
flask, the DNA did indeed twist tighter.
So then, the researchers (they) did a whole series of these experiments and then said
ok, we'll leave you three vials of DNA.
So they're across the lab, you see there's a middle one, there's a left hand one,
there's a right hand flask of DNA, identical samples of DNA.
We want you to intend to twist the one, the DNA in the middle flask tighter and leave the
flask on the right and the left untouched.
And again, when they weren't in coherence then it happened, when they
were in coherence, they changed the middle flask but not the two other flasks.
The researchers then said ok, let's see if this is an effect, an
artifact of your own individual energy field, let's move these things 50 miles away.
They then put the three beakers 50 miles away, they then said okay, now we
want you to change the twist at only the right-hand one, and not the other two
and the meditators were able to do that.
So here we have human attention literally affecting the conformation of
the DNA molecule and if that isn't exciting, think that your thoughts,
your consciousness, your degree of coherence is literally shifting molecules,
distantly away from your body in the next group, 50 miles away, in the case of
one Chi master 1,200 kilometers away, the effect was
still seen so this is really amazing that science is now giving us the tools
to show these effects and we're just at the dawn, of being able to use them
therapeutically and for human good.
