What is Matter?

“Let us now magnify a piece of bone. Very soon an orderliness
will emerge: highly ordered bone crystals embedded like jewels in webs of long
molecular strings. Everything is vibrating. Suppose we now apply an electric
field to the bone. As soon as we do that, the crystal changes its length. It
shrinks or stretches instantly in response to the field. Some more
magnification will give us an even better look at this crystal: we see the
atoms weaving back and forth like a field of ripe wheat blown by the wind. They
move in unison and in beautiful rhythm. Acoustical energy is flowing through
the crystal. Next, we focus on the
atoms. At first, they appear as little shadowy balls vibrating about fixed
points in the molecule. As we magnify, we see less and less. The electron shell
has somehow dissolved, and we are looking at a vacuum. As we further magnify,
we see something tiny moving about. We focus on what we suspect is the nucleus
of the atom, located in this vast space within the atom. If we take the
diameter of the nucleus of a hydrogen atom to be 1 mm., then the diameter of
the electron orbit will be about 10 meters, a ratio of 1 to 10,000, and the
intervening space is vacuum. As we zero in and further magnify the vibrating
nucleus, it seems to be dissolving. We are looking at some shadowy pulsation;
some more magnification, and the nucleus is almost gone. We are sensing the
pulsation of some energy; it seems to be a rapidly pulsating field. But where
did the bone go? We thought that we were looking at a solid piece of matter!
Well, it seems that the real reality — the micro-reality, that which underlies
all our solid, good, common-sense reality — is made up, as we have just
witnessed, of a vast empty space filled with oscillating fields! Many different
kinds of fields, all interacting with each other. The tiniest disturbance in
one field carries over into the others. It’s an interlocked web of fields, each
pulsating at their own rate but in harmony with the others, their pulsations spreading
out farther and farther throughout the cosmos. Whenever a focus of disturbance
tends to drive these fields out of their harmonious rhythm, the irregularity
will spread and disturb the neighboring fields. As soon as the source of
disturbance is removed, orderly rhythm will return to the system. Conversely,
when a strong harmonizing rhythm is applied to this matrix of interlocking
fields, its harmonic influence may entrain parts of the system that may have
been vibrating off key. It will put more orderliness into the system.”
Is the ”vacuum” of empty space between the subatomic
elements of creation actually empty?
What implications exist in the fact that we (and this
whole creation) are made up of a set of interacting, oscillating fields instead
of separate “matter”?

“The electromagnetic and electrostatic fields making up
and shaping our bodies are relatively strong and serve to hold our atoms and
molecules together. They weaken as they move outside our bodies. We are
surrounded and permeated by several fields: 1. The so-called isoelectric static
field of the planet. 2. The electrostatic fields created by our bodies. 3. The
magnetic field of the earth. 4. The electromagnetic field, which has a very
wide spectrum, ranging from the very slow wave caused by disturbances in the
atmosphere, through the spectrum of the visible light, and into the ultraviolet
and higher frequency radiation. 5. The gravitational fields of the earth, the
moon, and the neighboring planets and the sun. 6. The electromagnetic fields
created by humans; the different broadcasting fields of radio and television
networks. We shall discuss the first two of these fields.
As you know, our planet is surrounded by a layer of
electrically charged particles called the ionosphere. The lower layer of the
ionosphere starts at about 80 km. from the surface of the earth. It is a
charged layer and is known to reflect radio waves. It is therefore essential to
radio communication around the globe. We are interested, however, in another
aspect of this layer. Since this is a highly charged layer, it forms a
so-called capacitor with the earth. This means that there is a difference in
electric potential between these two, the earth being negatively and the
ionosphere positively charged. This potential difference is evenly distributed
along the distance between the earth and the ionosphere and comes to about 200
volts per meter.
When standing on the earth, we are moving constantly
within this field, which is, so to speak, very “stiff.” It means that it
behaves like a fairly rigid jelly. We have all had the experience of handling a
bowl of jelly and know how sensitive it is to vibration. Visualize a few
raisins embedded in this jelly. Poke one of the raisins and vibrate it; you’ll
soon see that all the other raisins in this jelly are vibrating, too. We can
also add that the raisins are quite well coupled with this jelly field. By coupling
we mean that there is a good connection between the raisin and the jelly, that
the energy transfer between them is good. They can’t make the slightest
movement without the jelly transmitting it to the other raisins.
The electrostatic field of the planet is like the stiff
jelly. When our bodies move and vibrate, these movements are transmitted to the
environment, including all human and animal bodies on this planet. These fields
not only impinge on our bodies, but they also affect the charges inside our
bodies. But how effective is this coupling? Can’t we make the slightest move
without detection? What influences this coupling effect? The coupling is, in
fact, quite good. It has been shown by our measurements that when a human body
is standing on the ground under normal conditions, it is electrically grounded.
It acts as a sink for the electrostatic field and will distort the force lines
somewhat. But if there were a charge on our bodies, the interaction would be
stronger, independent of the polarity of the charge. It turns out that our
bodies do indeed have a charge. They keep producing a field around themselves
as long as they are alive.
The electrostatic field of the body can nowadays be quite
easily measured by commercially available static meters… The device is
sensitive enough to be able to pick up this signal at 16 to 18 inches from the
body. The large waves are again created mostly by the reaction of the body to
the ejection of blood from the left ventricle. The strength of this signal
changes with distance from the body…The strength of this signal depends very
much on the vitality of the subject. A person brimming with energy will produce
a big signal, while one whose vitality is low will produce practically no
signal at all. Thus, we have an electrostatic field around the body. This field
couples us well to the isoelectric field of the planet which means that the
motions of our bodies are transmitted far and wide around the planet. This is,
naturally, a very weak signal.”
What is implied by the fact that the layer between the
earth and the ionosphere is “stiff” like jelly?
What other labels might we use to describe this electrostatic
field surrounding the body?
The strength of the body’s electrostatic field differs significantly
depending on the “vitality” of the person – does this equate solely to cardio fitness
or does it include other elements?
Meditation
READ StWP pages 41-42
“We may say now that in deep meditation the human being
and the planet system start resonating and transferring energy. This is
occurring at a very long wave¬ length of about 40,000 km., or just about the
perimeter of the planet. In other words, the signal from the movement of our
bodies will travel around the world in about one-seventh of a second through
the electrostatic field in which we are embedded. Such a long wavelength knows
no obstacles, and its strength does not attenuate much over large distances.
Naturally, it will go through just about anything: metal, concrete, water, and
the fields making up our bodies. It is the ideal medium for conveying a
telepathic signal. We have said previously that when we stop breathing, the
amplitude of the micromotion increases by about a factor of three because the
body goes into resonance, and its movement becomes very regular?”
Can this resonant state be extended in some way?
What does it mean that this long wave frequency is an
ideal medium for conveying a telepathic signal?
