CHAPTER 1
The New Way of Healing – the Transmission of Information
We are surrounded by a reality which we cannot perceive with our sensory organs. It has no flavor, no smell, you can't see it, hear it or touch it, and still it exists. It informs our brain, our nervous system, and our immune system; every bit of our body absorbs it. It is known to our spirit and, through extrasensory perception, it is also known to our consciousness.
In a holistic world-view, ancient civilizations, as well as tribal people living in natural settings, found it quite self-evident that man is an organic part of his environment, connected with the outside world in constant interaction and communication with all things. This is why they did not stifle the subtle-level resonances which they received through extrasensory perception.
The perception of what are called 'subtle energies' was a part of their experience, and thus their consciousness also worked with this factor. It was also self-evident that nature consisted not only of physical matter – that man's material body was only one dimension of the living organism. The energy of the spirit which permeates the entire world constituted an organic and indeed guiding part of everyday life.
As Hermes Trismegistus puts it in one of his tablets, 'As above, so below'. People were a part of the ecological unit of the Earth and nature. They knew and lived with subtle energies, both on the natural and the supernatural plane. They accounted for spiritual, emotional and energetic dimensions, and systematized their knowledge about this sphere no less than about the parts of the material body. They took care to heal the spiritual dimensions as much as to heal the material body. Indeed, often they attained the recovery of the body through the healing of the spiritual, emotional and energetic dimensions.
Ancient cultures gave various names to the field that carries information and energy. In Japan, Shintoism calls it ki; Chinese Taoism calls it chi. In ancient Hindu philosophy it was called prana, while in the traditional Judaism of the Near East it was called chaim. In Europe, Pythagoras among the ancient Greeks called it 'the central fire'. The alchemists of the Middle Ages spoke of azoth.
Ancient cultures viewed the world in many different ways, but one thing they shared is that they had not separated philosophy from their belief systems. Starting from the Middle Ages, while the Christian church retained, indeed, increased its hegemony, developments took a fresh course. After the invention of the telescope and the inception of the natural sciences in the time of Giordano Bruno and Galileo Galilei, the church could no longer retain its monopoly and so the natural sciences became separate from the moral sciences (philosophy and theology). As Galilei said in his Natural Phylosophy 'Primary is that which you can measure (weight, distance); secondary is that which we can perceive with our consciousness (color, beauty).' From that time on, the natural sciences were only concerned with exploring matter and measuring. As a consequence, people's perception in the Western world also became transformed and they ceased to care about the subtle-resonance information arriving through extrasensory perception. Even if some people had experiences of that kind, they considered it insignificant. The development of technology moved in in the same direction.
About 300 years ago Newton laid the foundations of modern thinking by establishing the laws of physics which seemed to offer a satisfactory explanation of the surrounding world. Over the past 300 years this material way of thinking went through a rapid and intense development. According to this kind of thinking, the world is organized on a purely material level. By examining matter, we can achieve practically everything and do not need to mix subtle or spiritual energies with the material approach. Belief in energies in spiritual dimensions was people's personal business.
In the modern period, medicine was the area where the concept of life-energy resurfaced. In the 18th century, Anton Mesmer called this force 'animal magnetism'. In the early 20th century Sigmund Freud called it 'libido' and Wilhelm Reich termed it 'orgone energy', to mention just a few examples.
In the technological, materialist civilization of the West, over the past 300 years, science took over the role of religion. Healing no longer formed part of the spiritual aspect of man's life, but was accorded a place among the natural sciences, and its development progressed at an amazing pace.
Most recently, however, scientific research has returned to the examination of subtle energies. This development can be seen as an upward spiral. On the bottom level we find the cultures of antiquity where man still formed a close unit with nature and perceived its subtle energies. As we move up the spiral, two types of development became increasingly distanced and the materialist side developed more intensely. As we move further up, we find that materialist technological civilization reached a level where, by using the methods of new physics, people could access subtle energies on the basis of scientific research. Although, Einstein already said fields govern the behavior of particles, it was only the research of the last 30 years that could access the subtle energy fields that people had sensed for thousands of years but were unable to study and explain for lack of adequate instruments.
Today, however, the latest findings of physics prove that we have transcended the materialist thinking of the last 300 years. The latest research shows that the universe consists not only of matter but also of what is called 'energy planes', energy that radiates in the form of waves. Indeed, organisms are variously dense wavefields. At the same time, by virtue of the fact that different types of waves emanate from the same energy field, all creatures connected with each other.
For a scientific explanation of this phenomenon we shall quote briefly from the work of Ervin Laszlo. Laszlo, like a number of other leading scientists, suggests the concept of quantum vacuum to resolve the anomalies of Darwinist biology and psychology. The quantum vacuum is the primordial phenomenon of the cosmos and can account for the remarkable connections that are otherwise inexplicable by science.
The quantum vacuum contains energy of an amazing density. Wheeler estimated its matter equivalent at 10 gram per cubic centimeter, which means that the energy contained in the vacuum is not only equal to the total quantity of energy in the matter but, according to calculations by David Bohm, exceeds it by about 10 times.
The quantum vacuum is not empty space. It is a significant element of the universe and it may be expected that in some way it should participate in all processes of the universe. The effects of the quantum vacuum appear in all the fields of the universe.
Fields exist in a curious form: their impact is observable, but they themselves are not. In this respect, they may be compared to a superfine net. If the threads of the net are finer than is visible to the naked eye, you cannot perceive the net itself. You might, however, be able to see the knots where certain threads intersect. It appears as if there were knots hovering in the air, even though they are connected by threads. Thus if one knot moves, the others shift as well. Therefore if we notice that the movement of one knot is related to that of the others, we must assume that they are connected by an extended net.
Fields can also store and transmit information. The above mentioned anomalies indicate that there is lasting information storage in nature. An effect (information) which has once emerged in one place and time, re-appears in other places and times. In physics, this is called 'temporal non-locality'. This means that the universe has memory. This, however, cannot exist in a vacuum: in empty space.
Laszlo claims that the subquantum field stores and transmits information in a holographic manner. In this way the memory of nature presupposes a holographic field for storing and transmitting information. Thus the vacuum is a connecting holo-field. The existence of this field resolves the anomalies experienced in physics, biology and other natural sciences.
Laszlo first called the subquantum field 'psifield'; and then he called it the Akasha dimension. The Greek letter ψ (psi) refers to the factor that complements Schrödinger's psi-function. At the same time, it refers to the connection between organisms to each other and to their environment. It connects people's consciousness as discovered in psychology and the epistemic sciences, including the mysterious connections known as 'psi-phenomena'. See Laszlo's books Science and the Akashic Field and The Akashic Experience.
The Role and Transmission of Information in Living Organisms
The importance of the role of information is evident throughout the living world. Bruce Lipton described how the operation of the brain and the nervous system creates high-level connections among cells. Experiments prove that the brain is capable of emitting parallel impulses simultaneously from different cerebral regions. The synchronization of these impulses is extremely important. Scientists have investigated how fast we can co-ordinate the different areas of the body. Results have shown that when our mind begins to work and starts emitting waves, they are sent at a higher speed than cells could transmit through neural connections. The experiments have shown that the brain communicates beyond the level of neurotransmission in the nervous system.
Dietmar Cimbal claims that the human body is a conglomerate of information organized within an energy field. This energy field is composed of scalar waves and it stores a tremendous amount of information. It is with the help of informational fields that the regulation of the body and its cells becomes possible. The human organism functions with the help of these informational fields.
According to the new scientific concept, the functioning of the human body is based not so much on the biochemical co-ordination of molecules, cells, tissues, organs and systems of organs, as on the exchange of biochemical, electromagnetic and quantum information.
Every organism has its own, localized information field connected with the localized fields of all other organisms in the world, just as all quanta are in instant connection with all other quanta. This is what spatial non-locality means in science. Living organisms are in contact with each other not only externally, but intrinsically. They are manifestations of a unified holographic field.
The holographic field is the internet of the natural world. Contact between healer and patient occurs through the transmission of quantum-level information. Thus the distance between healer and patient has no effect on the information transfer. Remote healing is physically possible.
The Role of Information in the Functioning of the Living Organism The organism consists of particles which cohere to form atoms and molecules, which, in turn constitute cells, tissues and organs, and finally the living organism. Every part of the organism has both a material and an informational aspect.
In regard to the material aspect, quantum particles conglomerate into atoms, atoms into molecules, cells into tissues, these into organs, and the organs into organisms (Figure 1). In regard to the informational aspect we recognize that on the various levels of organization self-organizing processes take place as wave-frequencies of the components enter into phase. In this way coherence is created on multiple levels. According to Folker Meissner, this coherence is a vast information system in which the exchange of information among every single cell guarantees that every cell knows what is happening to all the other cells. If this coherence fails to come about, the organism falls apart. Death is the disintegration of the coherence of the organism.
The decisive role and the importance of information increases at each successive level of organization. On the physical level, for instance, the role of the kind of information that connects quanta to atoms is far smaller than the role of the information that ensures the coherence of the level responsible for interconnecting organs into the living organism. (Figure 2)
Biology and classical medicine study the physical and biological processes that ensure the coherence of living organisms. The informational sciences, however, also examine the kind of information that governs biochemical and physical processes. Just as on the internet you get the information that you used on entering the system, also molecules and cells are organized according to the information encoded in them.
Every living creature has its own unique character in terms of the information that governs it. Within this information we distinguish different layers, including the general information characteristic of the species. Within the organism, organs are governed by the information characteristic of them, and by the information characteristic of the individual. It is the general information that allows, for instance, for organ transplant, but at the same time it is also what causes difficulty because, due to the individuality of information, the body can reject the organ that has been transplanted.
The biochemical mechanisms of the organism are governed by information. Researchers realized this when they saw that giving a living organism different information makes it function differently. The biochemical process can be changed by information. For instance, as regards cancer, it has been pointed out that the problem is caused by the way in which the cells communicate with each other, i.e. by a block in the information flow. Dr Pier Mario Biava discovered that cancerous cells can be transformedinto healthy cells if the cancerous cells come in contact with proteins that carry the right kind of information.
What Happens If a Living Organism 'Breaks Down', i.e. Becomes Sick?
In order to answer this question, the medical sciences that developed over the past 300 years on the basis of biology and chemistry examined biochemical processes and identified their shortcomings. The information sciences, in turn, examine the connections that sustain life-functions through information in the organism. When something is not working properly in the living organism, classical medicine treats the molecule itself through allopathic medications. These alter and rectify the operation of the organs with the help of biochemical substances. Information medicine does not interfere with biochemical processes but merely changes the information that organizes them. In the case of functional disturbances, faulty biochemical processes can be changed in this manner; it is not necessary to address the biochemical molecule itself. Today, a number of researchers and healers (Fraser, Lipton, Cimbal) claim that disease is merely an insufficiency of the information flow in the information system – it is flawed information. If we can access the appropriate information, we can eliminate the disease.
Every method of information medicine assists healing by rectifying the problems of information caused by pathogenic processes. Of all the innumerable methods of information medicine, I mention classic homeopathy as an example, as it works on this principle. In the case of high potencies, the homeopathic remedy introduces the information of the molecules into the body through a carrying substance. The healing information may be carried by water, an alcoholic solution, a sugar tablet, etc. (It must be noted, however, that the biochemical materials which are responsible for the nourishment of the body – in other words, the material aspect – do need to be introduced into the body: food cannot be replaced by the information on food.)
To use a metaphor from information technology, if something in our computer is not working properly, there are two possible solutions. One is that we take out the hard drive and replace it with another that is intact. In this case we are acting like a surgeon because after this operation the electrons run through the printed circuit in the modified way. The other solution is to rewrite the program. The program represents the information. When we rectify the program we are 'merely' changing the information; we don't need to take the computer itself to pieces.
There are multiple levels through which we can cooperate and interact with a complex system. There are material or physical interventions and there are informational interventions. There are cases where the computer is chronically malfunctioning which means that we need to replace the hard drive. In the case of a living organism this is when people say you need to cut out a cancerous growth or transplant an organ. At other times, when there are minor functional difficulties, no such intervention is required; it is enough to change the information, in other words, to provide the kind of information that restores normal functioning (Table 1).
