Sometimes when I consider health or life or a puzzle I’m attempting to solve, I find another ‘something’ I’m personally familiar with – an analogue of sorts, perhaps granting one a better ‘you are here’ dot so that the lay of the land is more easily visible. So, this … idea, concept, thought experiment has been kinda burning a hole in my pocket for a while. And in order to convey it, I’m going to lay out a few foundations with the hopes of illustrating a larger point that may point to a ‘larger truth.’ And I use the words ‘larger truth’ for a simple reason: we may not KNOW or be able to firmly define something, but we do get a hint that the unknown something exists simply because we can see evidence of that unknown x-factor for the visible shadow that it casts. Sometimes you don’t see the bird flying overhead, but you do see its shadow on the ground as it passes above.

Life is always a process, with the desire that the process itself grants us the wisdom to gain insight leaving us with greater coherence in the understanding of the whole and how we, our circumstance(s), or health may fit into that larger matrix of coherence. We live in crazy, uncommon times – an historian’s wet dream, a world, in many ways, turned upside down, and in which, we must still find a way to function. And in reality, there is nothing that forces us to crack the whip and find a way to function. This is a personal choice. I’ve never been able to figure out how NOT to try to keep moving forward, attempt to overcome, keep reaching higher … apparently, I’m dyed-in-the-wool curious!

Whatever presses me forward, keeps me turning things over in an attempt to gain a different vantage point, I’m always surprised how, by questioning differently, looking at some thing from a different view point, like climbing up on top of your desk and looking down (cause that is genuinely a different view!) instead of sitting in the same old chair, makes a difference. All that to say, let’s see if we can get a glimpse of the field of play we actually exist upon.

Anyone recall Masaru Emoto’s water experiments of the 90’s? Dr. Emoto discovered/proved that water has ‘memory’ and those ‘memories’ create a very visible crystalline structures when frozen and viewed under a microscope. His experiment involved having average people focus a particular emotion upon a glass of water, the water was then frozen and photographed. Emotions like love, hope, peace, abundance resulted in crystalline structures beyond description in terms of precision, beauty and awe-inspiring wonder. Emotions like hate and jealousy gave rise to disorganized, chaotic and rather abhorrent crystallizations. The point: we can choose how and with what we ‘program’ water. And this of course begs many questions in my world! Could we focus our attention on, say our own personal ‘body of water?’ Our bodies are comprised of about 70-75% water. A city’s drinking reservoirs? How about rivers, lakes, oceans?? Farmland (it’s irrigated with water)???

Also recall Dr. Emoto’s Rice Experiment. Emoto experimented with directed thoughts/concepts at jars of cooked rice kept on the counter top, requiring daily interaction of an experimenter over 30 days. One jar did not bear a label and therefore was simply a control and ignored; the experimenter directed gratitude at the jar labeled ‘thank you’ and anger at another jar labeled ‘idiot’. At the end of the month, in Emoto’s experiment, differing results were observed in each jar of rice:
1.) the jar that was thanked everyday fermented perfectly and contained no black mold
2.) the jar that received anger turned entirely black with mold
3.) the control produced even more black mold than jar #2

Many have done this experiment at home and posted YouTube videos. I’ve seen several report thirty day result showing less black mold in the control jar then the ‘anger’ jar. All this to point out: food is also comprised of a high concentration of water, and that water is also programmable therefore the food is programmable. Last point worth noting: not making use of directed thought upon bodies, food items, beverages and whatever else we may choose to use on our bodies may not be a productive path and if fact, may prove tricky for lack of any consideration whatsoever.

Ya’ll remember the prayer experiment Oprah did? If my rather full memory serves correctly, satellites picked up very positive changes in the magnetic field surrounding earth after she directed her audience to place their focus upon a specific aim! Did you ever hear of the Russian experiment into language patterns and DNA patterns and how language could be utilized to positively affect DNA? How about the fact the Russians discovered about 25-30 years ago that DNA literally emits visible light? Or even more fantastic was the Russian experiment of turning a frog embryo into a salamander embryo by beaming the salamander embryo onto the frog embryo using laser light. Ever hear or read about that one? That’s right. Last I looked (easily a dozen years ago) only a list of experiment results was translated to English, but if you spoke German, you could read the Russian study. I mention these more off the beaten track items only to point out that intrepid souls are investigating some very interesting items that remain largely unknown and are representative of the very tip of the iceberg of possibility.

Then, there is cymatics, which shows the influence of vibration and sound upon matter. When specific frequencies are applied to sand or grains of rice sitting on top of a plate vibrating with that frequency, that sand or rice is directed by that specific frequency to move itself into geometric patterns. When a bowl of water is permeated with those frequencies, very specific organized patterns (simple to complex) visibly emerge on the surface of the water.

How about Solfeggio Frequencies? These are musical sounds, tones and tuning which promote a healthy body and mind and greater level of bodily and environmental harmony.

All of these things are searchable on the internet. And interesting, that by the mid 2000’s, much of the phenomena I’ve mentioned above, that was actually getting national attention, is no longer mentioned in more mainstream destinations. I can also add: as someone who has assisted many in overcoming bodily injury and weakness, one hundred percent of the time, there existed a ‘stuck’ energy on that body part. When that energy was ‘cleared’, the body part began healing and growing stronger.

So how much do we really have the ability to captain our personal ships? Actual, provable, external phenomena gives us hints that this power to direct is quite immense. The very few modalities, (of which there are many) I list above unequivocally give us fantastic data that we do truly hold this power, and in many forms.

Consider DNA for a moment. Did you know the bits and pieces that form the foundational shape of base pairs is very much constructed like an antenna? All of the studies and disciplines above operate off of the principal of applied frequency whether through words, thought, emotion, sound, vibration, light, etc.

Did you know that cutting edge memory storage is being developed to use DNA as the storage medium for data and information? In 2020, Liam Critchev reported: “DNA molecules can store up to 215 petabytes, or 215 million gigabytes, of data in a single doubled stranded molecule, making it one of the highest storage density mediums in the world.” Let’s put this in perspective. If you have a laptop, a common memory capacity is only 500 gigabytes – 2 terabytes of storage space. One terabyte is 1000 gigabytes. Desktop computers on the higher end of the scale can have several internal/external drive bays, so you may have a 20-30 terabyte capacity. But Liam just told us that a single strand of double helix DNA can hold 215 million gigabytes! And remember, each double strand of DNA is MICROSCOPIC. While it would be almost impossible to calculate the actual DNA contained in a single human body (due to the ecosystems that live within the human body but are not themselves human in origin; think bacteria, enzymes, parasites, etc.), some place that guesstimate at 60 grams of DNA per body. Are you getting the idea of the sheer volume of intelligence and data available within your own cells, your own body? Do you think ALL THAT data and intelligence just sits there? Doing nothing? The question becomes: how much are we directing, using and leveraging this capacity?

How is it that our chromosomal DNA throughout the body is the same, but a liver cell knows it is supposed to be a liver cell and not a brain cell? How is it that birds incubated and raised without ever meeting the parents or seeing the environment where the parents lived know exactly where to find food when released into the parent’s environment without ever physically being in it? If you really consider it, DNA is literally microscopic, biological, living machinery that creates a whole body out of not much. Pressing further: Is DNA part of or ‘connected to’ the ‘information field’ that lends organization, coherence, intelligent design to our overall bodies and managing our state of health? Does it contain your genetic heritage on a literal memory level? Can we take a hand in directing this informational field? Or are we just at the behest of external forces?

I’m suggesting we do have the power to direct this intelligent design. We see evidence of this in every story of someone beating severe injury and disease and healing. Many of those folks made the choice to overcome. All physical items, when broken down to the atomic level are more actual space than hard, physical matter. Leaving us with: the basis of all physical matter is energy (perhaps space may be a better word here) as we can observe a physical item … that seems to be made of mostly space … but is actually solid matter … so what force is holding all that matter together?? Energy! The solid reality that we live within may simply be a persistent illusion that is waiting for us to step into the driver’s seat of life. Nothing I’m saying here is new, but it does seem very forgotten in our present landscape.

Another example: In 2021, I was able to create an inert, unpowered device containing no moving parts that positively affects the energy of the space it occupies. I call it a BioVortex. The BV, simply through its presence, maximizes biological expression of nature, making food last longer, agricultural operations more productive through heartier plants, longer shelf lives, and decreases in spoilage, and generates greater harmony within spaces. It simply leverages the power of energy to make physical differences in food and space. And if you’re affecting space, you’re affecting the bodies that exist in that space.

Every aspect of health that I’ve studied only increases my wonderment and amazement of life itself and the human form, how readily it adapts, and keeps right on going. Our own bodies are the most complex biological systems, we still haven’t even scratched the tip of the iceberg in terms of basic understanding and creating and maintaining health. Perhaps thoughts like ‘stronger (or healthier or more abundant – the sky is the limit here) with every breath’ are the means of mental expression (rules of the game) to direct our bodies, environs, and reality.

We’ve never been trained to use these thought ‘resources.’ Many of us may have never even considered that we can have a hand in such endeavors. If we choose, we can begin by imbuing our food with thoughts and emotions such as gratitude, love, joy, excitement, awe, serenity, etc. and see what happens over time. We might choose to spend a minute or three on a daily basis focused upon a bodily energetic field that brims with health and vitality, a mental state that is happy, content and excited about life and wisdom that is ever expanding.

It is easy to look out at life and see many more failures than successes. AND, our failures have the capacity to literally teach us how to win – we learn the most from our failures. We will all fight ‘battles’ that we ‘lose.’ We can choose to keep learning, keep getting up from our failures and trying again. But do we ever in fact lose or fail? Can we ever realistically predict which battles we will win or lose? My hazard on winning, losing, failing and succeeding is that each is its own lesson. I will also hazard: We are much happier when we feel ‘in charge’ of our lives and much less happy when we feel like we have no control over external circumstances. How much has our own health been pitched at us much like an external force in which we have no control? And even in states where it appears we have no control over external circumstances, we can still choose to use the power of directed thought, intention and creation in those circumstances.

For a moment, look at life like a game we are familiar with – doesn’t matter which ‘game’ – basketball, softball, Monopoly, poker – you get the idea. Just pick a ‘game’ in which you KNOW the rules very well, one for which you have a knack, and pretend that that game is the entirety of your universe. I’m betting you are very confident and feel very competent when you play that game. Those feelings are a factor in ‘winning.’ If we can hold onto that level of confidence and competence even though we traverse some truly grand unknowns (you could also call that exercise faith), we will still win. Here’s my last thought (cause all ‘o that above is quite enough!): perhaps, while we may be still unable to actually define the entire scope of the ‘playing field of life’ we exist within, by choosing to direct our thoughts, and having discipline over time in directing our thoughts, we will create the circumstances with which to experiment and learn the ‘rules of the larger game’ governing this plane. By saying YES to such an endeavor, we will also begin to have greater and greater faith in ourselves as a co-creator of our own bodies, in harmony WITH ALL THAT internal intelligence YOU PRESENTLY HAVE, as well as every day reality … and that’s where the rubber meets the road.
