Bentov: The Sub-atomic World

What is Matter?

Read Stalking the Wild Pendulum (StWP) pages 35-36

“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?

No, it’s filled with various kinds of interconnected, interlocking, oscillating fields (e.g. electric, magnetic, gravitational, acoustic, etc).

These fields could make interference patterns as they vibrate at different frequencies, unless they become rhythm entrained or aligned.

This “unified field” of energy or light proceeds from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space – “fill” being truly literal in this case (see D&C 88:5-13).

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”?

We are much more connected to each other (and to God) than we think.

The fact that disturbances or changes in one aspect of the interlocking fields affects all of the others to various degrees, shows how what we individually think and do influences, or at least affects, everything else in creation. 

Matter is not what we think it is.

There is an orderly rhythm at the heart of things in this universe – a way they are “supposed” to be or are naturally; this begs the question of whether or not these natural rhythms are lower than what they could be – that they could be “quickened” and what would happen if they were. 

The harmonic influence of entrained rhythms can speak to either a healing effect (the idea that disease is a result of being out of resonance) or that of a collective “group think” of the natural man (that we need to awake from our current state of being and ascend to something else – something that would be viewed as “out of rhythm” with the norm of this current reality).

“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?

Everything we do affects everything else – at least on some level.

We are a “system” which is connected – which means that if one person begins emitting a particularly strong frequency, people (plus animals, plants… really all of creation) near them will be affected by it – and could begin to resonate at the same frequency due to the principle of entrained harmonic rhythms; this can either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the type of frequency being emitted.

At a minimum, a person would need to be connected to an even stronger frequency to avoid being affected – this is an interesting idea that I hope to continue to explore: the idea of “subtle” frequencies that only some people can pick up because they are “tuned” differently or more finely. 

What other labels might we use to describe this electrostatic field surrounding the body?

Spirit; as in “you have a sweet (or a dark) spirit about you”

Aura

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?

A strong heart within a fit person will enable blood to be efficiently pumped across the body, enabling higher levels of vitality and energy.

However, other factors – some physical and some not – also effect the level of vitality within a person – sleep and food are physical factors, and depression and anxiety are examples of mental or emotional factors. 

Spiritual factors also effect the vitality of the person – if thoughts produce energy, a person who is strongly tuned or connected to God and is filled with the mind of God (Holy Spirit) will demonstrate a high level of mental activity and vitality as a result, regardless of the health of their heart. 

 

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?

Slowing the breath and aligning it better with the resonating frequency of creation can be accomplished through mediation.

“Techniques of extending this harmonious resonant state have been known for thousands of years. These are the different meditative techniques. They slow down the metabolic rate of the body so that much less oxygen is required to keep the body going. Moreover, as one becomes proficient in meditation, the breathing becomes so gentle as not to disturb the resonant state of the aorta. It seems that an automatic process develops in which the lungs and the diaphragm regulate the heart-aorta system so as to keep them well tuned and thus extend the resonant behavior in spite of some shallow breathing. The resonant state will naturally apply to the whole body. The skeleton and all the inner organs will move coherently at about 7 cycles per second. It so happens that the natural frequency of the normal body seems to lie in this range. It therefore takes very little effort on behalf of the heart-aorta system to drive the body at this rate. It is similar to pushing a swing in correct timing. The normally occurring destructive interference ceases, and the body starts acting in an increasingly coherent fashion.” (StWP, p 42).

What does it mean that this long wave frequency is an ideal medium for conveying a telepathic signal?

The fact that this frequency can go through just about anything, including our bodies, implies that it can be used for communication from one person to another.

The issue, though, is the receiving of that communication – as the receiver must be tuned to that same frequency to hear and understand the communication; that doesn’t mean that the sender can’t send the message – and it might be understood to a lesser degree or sensed by another person who is operating at a different frequency; it’s just that the message won’t be nearly as clear and complete.

This idea begs the question: is this part of how God and angels communicate with us?  If the Holy Spirit is the mind of God and we can begin to resonate at a frequency that allows us to hear and understand those messages, does this begin to describe the science behind obtaining the will of the Lord and rending the veil/communing with heaven?  It might also explain how some people communicate with other spirits.  The implications into the way we pray, or more especially, how we listen for answers and communion after we pray, is huge.
