If you want to understand the world, consider it in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
Vittorio Gallese and Giovanni Buccino: from mirror neurons to compassion, Every individual has a natural tendency to ‘co-resonate’ with its fellow species. We do it in very simple situations, like those described, but also when we share with others moments of great pain or joy. A more recent discovery in the field of the neurophysiology lets us explain the mechanisms that our brain uses to let us understand other people’s actions and ‘co-resonate’ with them: the discovery of mirror neurons.9
“All interactions in the universe transmit not only energy, but also information. Particles not only collide, but calculate as well. With advancing calculation, the reality develops” (Lloyd 2006).
Quantum spins are subject to entanglement, this has long been known. Huping Hu and his wife Maoxin Wu used this knowledge to try out something. Is it possible to entangle the spins of water molecules with the spins of drugs and find then the effect of drugs in water? Exactly this works and is reproducible. The condition: To obtain the energy for entanglement a coherent source is necessary, like a laser, a magnetic field or a microwave. If you drink such an entangled water, the result are symptoms as if a drug – in this case an anesthetic – was taken (Hu/Wu 2006).10
We are connected with everything in the quantum field like everything in the universe, we are also in a way connected with a sea of information that exists beyond the physical space and time. Although we don’t come into contact with physical elements in the quantum field, and we are not even close to them, we can however influence them, and we are in turn influenced by them. The physical body consists of organized energy and information patterns, united with everything in the quantum field. You and all people send out a particular energy pattern or signature. Each material thing emits steadily particular energy patterns loaded with information. Your fluctuating mental state changes consciously or unconsciously this signature from one moment to the next, because you are more than just a physical body: You are awareness expressing various mental levels through body and brain.12
Where are we from? The explanation that we were made in stars sounds profound, elegant and attractive to me. It implies that most atoms in all of us consist of smaller particles created in the oven of long gone stars. Only our archaic blocks of hydrogen were born before stars.14
These rules build the foundation of Newton’s derivation of universal laws of gravity formulated almost a hundred years later.15
Like radio signals, our thoughts transmit our convictions and expectations into the quantum field (which I call the field of the limitless potential, FP). And what they draw in our life, is what matches exactly the waves radiated by us. Quantum physicists have proved that it was impossible to observe something without influencing it. It is called the observer effect. This effect turns on its head about everything, we have believed to know so far about the functioning of the world. But the possibilities that it opens are simply hallucinating! Then it means that:
Thus you live not only in a world swinging into forms and back out again, where there is an unlimited number of possible realities developing simultaneously, where everything swings and energy waves spread in all directions, but you swing in your body too, in the microcosm of your personal life.
I have often been asked the question: where does energy come from? From what source is it supplied? Could it dry up one day? The most important answer to this is: We deal here with a phenomenon, which most of the people haven’t understood yet in its entire infinite extent.
Everything is energy, this is the most advanced scientific and also the ancient spiritual definition of the universe. That’s why energies are not only capable to create and maintain us and our universe, but also to protect and heal us. It’s due to unhindered energy flows that we can have a healthy and happy life, in spite of all daily burdens. The quantum physicists answer these questions with a calm consistency. In the end, they say, the whole universe is a conglomerate of wave patterns. A homogeneous system, allowing a differentiation only at the perception level. Nevertheless, a substantial opposition of matter and energy could no longer be upheld.19
It is also related to resonance, or the ability of any system to absorb more energy than normal at a particular frequency (the number of peaks and troughs in one second). Any vibrating object, including an electromagnetic wave, has its own preferential frequencies, called ‘resonant frequencies’, where it finds vibrating the easiest. When it ‘listens’ or receives a vibration from somewhere else, it tunes out all pretenders and only tunes into its own resonant frequency. It is a bit like a mother instantly recognizing her child from among a mass of schoolchildren. Planets have orbital resonances. Our sense of hearing operates through a form of entrainment: different parts of a membrane of the inner ear resonate to different frequencies of sound. Resonance even occurs in the seas, as in the tidal resonance of the Bay of Fundy at the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine, near Nova Scotia. Armour discovered neurotransmitters in the heart that signal and influence aspects of higher thought in the brain. McCraty discovered that touch and even mentally focusing on the heart cause brainwave entrainment between people. When two people touched while focusing loving thoughts on their hearts, the more ‘coherent’ heart rhythms of the two began to entrain the brain of the other.23
Gravity: the fountainhead of cosmic order
Of the four fundamental forces of nature, only gravitation acts across cosmological distances. In this sense, gravity powers the cosmos. It is responsible for bringing about the large-scale structure of the universe, and it is within this structure that other forces perform their roles. It has long been appreciated by physicists and astronomers that gravity is peculiar in the way that it organizes matter. The key to the unique structuring capabilities of gravity is its universally attractive nature and long range. Gravity pulls on every particle of matter in the universe and cannot be screened. Its effects are therefore cumulative and escalate with time. The lesson of EPR is that quantum systems are fundamentally nonlocal. In principle, all particles that have ever interacted with one another belong to a single wave function – a global wave function containing a stupendous number of correlations. One could even consider (and some physicists do) a wave function for the entire universe. In such a scheme the fate of any given particle is inseparably linked to the fate of the cosmos as a whole, not in the trivial sense that it may experience forces from its environment, but because its very reality is interwoven with that of the rest of the universe.24
Not an atom’s width of space remains unused. There is activity everywhere. Everything is ruled by electrical energy. Most of us probably don’t feel it, but we are all electrical cells. The food we eat and the oxygen we breathe are combined in the cells into electricity. The reason we don’t give each other massive shocks or scorch the sofa when we sit down is that it is all happening on a tiny scale: a mere 0.1 volts travelling distances measured in nanometers. However, scale that up, and it would translate as electrical fields of 100 per meter, much stronger than the core of lightning.25
Convinced that they had uncovered an important means by which the brain connects with the outside world, Rizzolatti and his team wrote up a modest paper detailing a year of their research and sent it off to the prestigious science journal Nature, only to have it rejected out of hand as not sufficiently interesting to anyone outside of neuroscience. Through a personal connection, Rizzolatti eventually managed to publish the paper in the Journal of Experimental Brain Research. Five years later, after the paper was widely read and its full implications digested around the world, Brain, the most important journal of neurology, welcomed an updated version of their original research and published it immediately.
We not only mimic others’ emotions, but we also feel those emotions deep within our body. We are so attuned to the emotional landscape surrounding us, that a positive or negative environment affects our body and its ability to function. Natural killer cells – the immune system’s front line of defense against cancer and many viruses – are profoundly reactive to stress in our lives, particularly social stressors. Large dips in the number and activity of these cells have been observed during arguments and even minor conflicts.26
We always look for ourselves in others. If we’re on the same wavelength as our partner, crises or differences of opinion won’t set as apart. Every relationship goes through a crisis, especially the longer the relationship. But crisis can also mean catharsis and healing. That is the deeper meaning of crisis. We will grow, and we heal unsettled childhood concerns. This can often put a strain in and on partnership. But a couple that is in resonance will survive any stress test. Crisis is mastered together. Nothing in the world can put to question the feeling of belonging together.27
In a word: gravity! Gravity is a universal force of attraction between all masses. As far as we know, everything in the universe feels it. The force of gravity, though week, grows with mass. While negligible for small bodies, it’s appreciable for big bodies – Earth, Sun, galaxy.
What protects us from the dangers of space?
Charged particles, like protons (hydrogen nuclei) and electrons, zip through space at near light speed. High energy makes them dangerous. Earth’s magnetic field deflects these particles and keeps most away. Moon and Mars (very little field) are the most dangerous places.
Are we made of stardust?
The universe, with its black holes, nebulae, & exploding stars, seems unconnected with our lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. The iron in your blood, calcium in your bones, oxygen that fills your lungs… All forged inside stars that died before the Earth was born. Astrologers are not guilty of being crazy, but of not being crazy enough. We are far more connected to the stars than they ever imagined. Want to see a bit of a star? Hold up your hand. You are stardust made flesh. You were literally made in heaven.
How does the moon influence the Earth?
Contrary to popular belief, the Earth’s tides are not caused by the gravity of the moon, but by differences in the gravity of the moon.
Is our solar system special?
Th solar system has ordered structure: planets orbit the same direction, more or less in the same plane. Probably related to system’s origin.
What do radio telescopes intercept?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves longer than 1 cm wavelength. They constitute the lowest energy part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are cosmic rays?
About 90% of cosmic rays are protons (nuclei of hydrogen atoms); 9% are alpha particles (helium nuclei); 1% are heavier nuclei. When colliding with air molecules, cosmic rays produce showers of secondary particles and very faint glow known as Cerenkov radiation. Ground based particle detectors, spread over a large area, register air showers. Ultrasensitive light detectors register Cerenkov radiation.28
Love. The most wonderful thing in the world – or a box of enmeshed feelings? Is it something complicated – or the simplest thing in the world? Is it possible to explain it scientifically? It dominates our life – we savor it, or we look for it – and when we are deprived of it, the world seems to collapse. The numerous facets of love keep us so busy, that since time immemorial almost every poem, every book or musical piece and each movie deals with love and over and over again she is new and fascinating. And that is right – because love is the key to the continued human existence. No wonder that love is commanded by strong and surprisingly simple biologic mechanisms. These mechanisms however influence not only our love life, but also large aspects of our social behavior. Recent hypothesis suggest that the complex consequences of social links are co-responsible for the complexity and even for the exceptional size of the human brain (Dunbar and Shultz 2007). Love is so simple, but it has far-reaching consequences. (…)
And for neurobiologists: certainly love cannot be controlled voluntarily, it seems to be domiciled in primitive, deep brain areas – no surprise that it has meanwhile been proved by experiments on animals and human brain scans. And also, it is no surprise that the latest research at the molecular level on brain reveals a close connection between addiction and love.
On the whole, it emerges that our human activity is surprisingly strongly determined by our biology – partly by genetically inherited behavioral patterns, partly by childhood experiences that leave their marks in the brain. Certain behavioral patterns and personality differences can already be explained biologically – but this does not release us from the responsibility for our decisions and actions. Being biological organisms is a part of human nature.
First off: We like most to decide ourselves who suits us best, the intuition is unsurpassed here. No agency, no advisor, no psychological form to fill out can beat this. (…)
You attract me!
The searching for partners similar to ourselves is typical for many species, and the biological term for it is ‘homogamy’. But how a man (or a woman) manages to find a partner genetically as close as possible? The answer is really simple: Genetic relatives are similar to us in outward appearance. And how you can recognize it (especially when you as a prehistoric man don’t have a mirror)? An answer to this problem is called ‘sexual imprinting’. As parents are the closest relatives, you look for a partner (man or woman) who resembles as close as possible your parents.
Thus, on an average, people follow fundamental biologic criteria while searching for a partner – in spite of cultural, social and cognitive influences. However, it should be pointed out, that our behavior and also our choice of partner are complex. Many influences are still largely unknown and unexplored, and many influences have more in common with us as cognitive individuals than with us as biological, evolutively optimized actors.
One more thought: Whether at the end we are happy with our partner does not necessarily depend on the fulfillment of all biologically relevant, genetically optimal or evolutively beneficial criteria. These criteria determined by the evolution help only to transmit our genes as far as possible. Our personal happiness could be situated entirely elsewhere.
It must also be clarified what it means in the context of neuronal dimensions: a cube of 3x3x3 millimeter, i.e. 27 cubic millimeters contains according to certain estimations and depending on the brain area from 500,000 to 2 million neurons, for which you obtain an average value every two seconds.30
Your present personality is additionally shaped by a third biological factor, which we want to introduce to you: the tenth cranial nerve. It constitutes the principal connecting line between your brain and your body and is also called vagus nerve. It issues from the brain stem and runs through the internal organs. But principally, it connects your brain with your heart. You know already that your heart rate rises when you feel offended or threatened – it can be attributed to the Fight-or-Flight Reaction, inherited from our ancestors, however you may not know that it is your vagus nerve which calms your beating heart by engaging (together with oxytocin) another, also primeval, Calm-and-Connect-Reaction.
Against the background of the information that love equals attachment, it becomes clear that your vagus nerve is a biological active post supporting and coordinating your love experience. This nerve escapes your awareness. It stimulates tiny facial muscles responsible for creating eye contact and the synchronization of your facial expression with that of another person. It adjusts even the tiny muscles of your middle ear, so that you can better hear the voice of another person in spite of background noises. In a gentle but still radical way, the vagus nerve increases the chances for an attachment between both of you. It increases the chances for a positive resonance.
The new science of love makes it clear that your body functions like a verb. Of course, some features of your body – like your DNA or your eyes color – remain relatively constant. But your brain registers unceasingly the permanently changing living conditions and coordinates the flow of biochemical substances, which in turn change your body and brain from inside, on the cellular level. Your body takes initiative. In a remarkable way it sends everything that you feel – your moments of positive resonance or their absence – to all body parts, prepares you either for being healthy or ill and more or less for the loving attachment too.
Characteristic features of love are concern and care for others, a warmth and a genuine interest, bringing you to give trust and empathy. An article that appeared some time ago, attempting to identify the most important feature of love – applying for all love variations from romantic through parental to platonic – determines concern and care, or more abstractly, the ‘investment in the well-being of another person and only for the sake of his/her wellness’, as the essential, always present fingerprint of love. Concern and care cause that you pay more attention to other people’s needs, you receive and process incoming information more attentively, to protect your fellow humans from a loss. Besides, at the next meeting with people, who you share micro-moments of positive resonance with, love leads to even more automated positive reactions – both of you assume, that you are favorably disposed towards each other, what allows you to experience further moments of positive resonance. Studies have even revealed that your daily interaction with friends and colleagues would become much more cheerful and pleasant as soon as you learn to take care about the micro-elements of love.
Put simply: Love leads to a fundamental change of heart.
Think how a soccer match or a concert can evoke a positive resonance on a large scale. By means of intense synchronized calls, songs, marches, dances or other simultaneous actions a deep feeling of group solidarity may be created – capable to absorb even a whole stadium.
Become
Over time, love triggers wave movements. The more frequently you experience a positive resonance daily, the bigger is its influence on what you are going to become.
Future prospects
We have seen how love sends its wave movements through time and space. According to studies, your awareness expands automatically in a moment of positive resonance, so that you learn to appreciate this moment as well as other people more than it is the case normally. Also, automatically your body begins to lean towards another person and agree with him/her, starting a subtle, synchronized dance that reinforces your attachment. Over time, these powerful moments change you. They contribute to the extension of your social network, reinforce your resilience, increase your wisdom and ameliorate your physical health. Furthermore, love is deeply personal. It develops in your mind and body and with their help, like a wave, culminates in every new micro-moment of attachment – in every smile, laugh or this knowing or agreeing regard that you share with others. So although these micro-elements are deeply personal and volatile, they become more and more objects of scientific investigation. Thus, for the first time you can look at and appreciate love not only through personal, subjective glasses but also through scientific, objective ones. In this way, you understand better, why your body and mind are created for love and can only benefit from it. Learn how to look for love more often, and it will not only lift up you but also your surroundings and our world – far beyond what you and I can imagine today. There are numerous occasions for love. It is up to you to use them and thus lead a fulfilled life.31
