Hainline" Following is a rather haphazard bibliography on articles and books on material relating to what I termed a few days ago as "organizing fields". I am also quoting a rather lengthy article which I believe in a nutshell outlines the fundamental theory on this topic. If it gets too long I'll split it into 2 posts. Becker, R. O. (1963). The effect of magnetic fields upon the central nervous system. Medical Electronics and Biological Engineering, 1, 293-303. Becker, R. O. (1972). Electromagnetic forces and life processes.

Following is a quote from Gene Savoy's book, Project X: The Search for the Secrets of Immortality (1977). "...To date we have detected three radiant energy fields surrounding the physical organism. The first is very near the skin and appears to be a dark color (its true color is a flourescent red). The second extends about three inches from the body; the third extends, on the average, six inches from the body. The first field is simply the radiation of body heat, i.e., infrared. The second and third fields are the inner and outer edges, respectively, of eight distinct energy fields oscillating within this mixed range. The prodominant color of the edge closest to the body and of the outer edge have been observed to change continually as one force cen ter (and therefore the color field of that particular center) dominates the others. This color phenomenon is characterized by the continual change in dominant color brought about by the person turning towards different points of the compass or moving to different geographic locations. Thus no single color dominates the total field for a ny great length of time. In general, the energy field around the human organism appears violet or bluish, but fluctuates for various reasons. Individual energy fields may be discerned at various parts of the organism, such as the hands, elbows, shoulders, breasts, hips, knees, feet. Diseased areas give off distinctly separate radiation, usually in the form of infrared. It is interesting to no te that the human physical organism is composed of chemicals, predominantly water, held together in a state that is more representative of a liquid than of a solid. The energy fields enveloping the physical organism may be, not the product of the body's chemical components, but rather seperate electromagnetic bodies with INDEPENDENT NERVOUS SYSTEMS that react to radiation. This relationship would make the human orga nism as much an electrical as a chemical phenomenon. Therefore, we can no longer regard the physical chemical organism as more "real" than the non-physical electric organism. On the contrary, we must in fact consider the visible or physical organism as secondary to the invisible electromagnetic or cosmic/solar organism. (Here is strong support for the old metaphysical view that the human complex is more electric than chemical, more "spiritual" than physical.) There is every reason to believe that the energy fields are the source of life and may have the potential of surviving the death of the physical organism. The metaphysical question of immortality is bound up with these fields. Man is a photo-complex. Photosensitization of the energy fields and the ionization of the physical organism through the irradiation od sunlight has certain therapeutic benefits. The net result is an expanded state of being through development of the psy chic attributes. Metabolism is regulated by the endocrine glands, which control the chemical processes governing the generation of new cells and the destruction of old ones. To a high degree the endocrines are responsible for the continual health, youth fulness, long life, and states of behavior of the organism. While traditional science adequately describes the process of metabolism and the function of the endocrines, we must accept the possibility that these glands are governed by forces outside the human organism: solar rythms. States of health, youthfulness and longevity may be governed by built-in clock systems determined by factors inherited from our parents; however, the ability of an individual to alter endocrine regulation through certain techniques is something new and unsuspected. Although the fields are interrelated with the physical organism, they are representative of a more refined cosmic body which requires electromagnetic (not chemical) nourishment directly from the source of all life, the sun. The energy fields, I suspect, would therefore affect the biophysical organism."(pp164-166) This is getting long enough for now. I realize this is a bit off topic but would be glad to post more if there is interest. Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming's books, noted above in the bibliography, address the traditional chinese take on this field, which is quite extensive and deep, the basis of accupuncture and Taoist concepts of longevity and immortality, etc. Bruce Kanzelmeyer Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 03:51 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA14331; Tue, 25 Mar 1997 03:51:15 +0100 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA14338 Received: from by ella.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) id SAA18046; Mon, 24 Mar 1997 18:49:33 -0800 Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 18:49:33 -0800 Message-Id: <199703242146_MC2-133A-C1C4@compuserve.com> Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@ella.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@ella.mills.edu
