Sensing Unbroken Wholeness

 

We may then consider every cell in the human body as a library of

information. Each cell is made of molecules, each molecule is made of atoms, and

atoms are made of electrons, neutrons, and protons. In connection with

Einstein's familiar formula, E=mc2, we have been taught that matter and energy

are equivalent, that we can convert energy into matter, and that the energy in a

piece of matter is equal to the mass of the matter times the speed of light

squared. Thus, even minute amounts of matter represent a lot of energy However,

while in the past it was believed that electrons were particles-matter existing

at some point in space-now, according to particle physics, electrons are not

particles all of the time, but sometimes behave like waves of light. The current

consensus is that they are both wave-like and particle-like, as is all matter.

 

In fact, in the world of quantum physics, it seems these elementary "particles"

(including electrons) don't really exist at all. What does exist are

relationships, correlations, tendencies to actualize from a multifaceted set of

potentials. A quantum physicist might say that electrons, like all other

subatomic particles, are described by a "probability density state." At this

level it is strikingly evident that there may be no objective physical reality

at all. What the scientific community once thought was there in the sub-atomic

realm and what the educated world was taught to perceive as real simply does not

exist.

 

The new physics tells us that matter may actually be nothing more than a

series of patterns out of focus and that subatomic "particles" aren't really

made of energy, but simply are energy! The subatomic world of electrons,

protons, and neutrons may thus be viewed as patterns of vibration within what

Rupert Sheidrake calls a morphogenetic field, an organizing field that underlies

a system's structure.

 

We know we can convert matter into energy. We can burn wood and get heat. We

can mathematically determine how much heat we would get from a pile of wood by

using Einstein's formula. And the reverse is also true; energy can be converted

into matter. For example, high-energy laser light can be observed to produce

particle and anti-particle pairs. Cosmic rays, which are highly charged photons

of light, have been observed to change form and become matter. Light, X-rays,

and radio waves can all be converted back to particles. When their waves are

slowed down they attain mass while retaining some wave-like characteristics.

 

Light also can either be considered a wave or a stream of particles. We know

that photons carry energy, and that the amount of energy carried by a photon is

proportional to the frequency of the light. That is, the higher the wave

frequency, the more energy it carries. For example, X-rays and ultraviolet light

have high frequency and high energy, while radio waves and infrared waves have

low frequency and low energy.

 

Just as surprising as the apparent ethereal qualities of matter is the fact

that it is the observer who brings the possibilities of the micro-world into

existence. In experiment after experiment, it has been shown that when the

observed function, the wave, interacts with the observing system, the person

making the measurement, it changes to a new state. And whether what comes into

actuality is a wave or a particle depends solely on the structure of the

experiment.

 

One interesting aspect of the apparent dual representative state of matter is

that it is not a dual property of the particle, but rather a property of

experimental observations. Niels Bohr, who is regarded as the father of quantum

physics, pointed out that a particle only becomes a particle when someone is

looking at it. The new physics tells us that the observer cannot observe

anything without changing what he sees.

 

 

 

In addition, according to new scientific thought, all matter and we

our-selves consist of forms of light. In his book Vibrational Medicine,

physician Richard Gerber actually describes all matter as "frozen light," light

which has been slowed down and become solid. A quantum physicist would say that

light in this context does not slow down-it always moves at the speed of light.

Rather the light's photons get absorbed; its energy has been transferred. Gerber

points out that atoms are primarily empty space. What fills them, he says, are

packets of light that sometimes act as matter.

 

If our bodies, at least metaphorically, are made of frozen light, they

maintain the characteristics of light, which means they have frequency. Matter

then may be thought of as light of a higher density. Thus, drawing on the

implications of modern physics, we can conclude that human beings are made of

light held in matter.

 

It is important to stress that Gerber's concept of matter as frozen light

may not be merely metaphoric. Gerber describes the cellular matrix of the

physical body as a complex energy interference pattern, interpenetrated by the

organizing bio energetic field of the etheric body. The physical body is

therefore an energy field, and the field is made up of segments of vibration. As

physicist Max Planck determined, higher frequency light means higher energy

light. This concept also applies to what we think of as matter because we now

know that all matter, not just quantum matter, also has frequency and thus

waves-another scientific revelation that has radically changed the way we see

the physical world.

 

Using simple equations, Louis De Broglie discovered the wavelengths of waves

that correspond to matter, which are not visible to us. Breakthroughs in quantum

physics imply that all matter, including matter that makes up the human body, is

itself made up of waves of light. It is therefore interesting to note that many

ancient teachings saw humans as engendered by light, as children of light.

 

The Nobel Prize winning physicist David Bohm has written about what he calls

the implicate order of the holographic universe. This concept suggests that the

entire universe is an ever-changing cosmic hologram that is layered with

information. Each layer holds a higher order of information and each higher

order is enfolded in an aspect of space/time. The higher order may be thought of

as consciousness that filters wave-like into form. Because it is a hologram,

every segment contains information about the entire universe. Thus,

consciousness is indeed in all things.

 

Light is both the medium and the message.

 

Moreover, Bohm's work in quantum physics suggests that at the subatomic

level all points in space are essentially the same, and therefore nothing is

actually separate from anything else. This property is called non-locality.

Bell's Theorem, developed a few years later by J. S. Bell, a Swiss physicist,

provided mathematical proof of non-locality. If we think about locality in terms

of the particle behavior of light (a specific point in space), then non-locality

can be seen in terms of light behaving as a wave (indistinguishable and

interconnected).

 

What these concepts tell us is that, at the heart of our universe, there are

no separate parts to anything, and that everything is connected to everything

else. Moreover, they explain how information can be transferred superluminously,

or faster than the speed of light. For example, if two photons are non-locally

connected, communication between them can be instantaneous because they are not

truly separate.

 

These discoveries from quantum physics have important implications for the

evolution of human consciousness predicted by the Andean prophecies.

 

As Bohm states, the world is an "unbroken wholeness"; everything is non-locally

interconnected. We need to learn to perceive holistically because our world and

the entire universe is actually interconnected. It is erroneous to continue to

perceive our world as a conglomeration of separate, unrelated parts. In light of

emergent scientific principles, the Cartesian world view is decidedly

misleading.

 

Moreover, this holistic way of perceiving the world mirrors the teachings of

ancient people such as the Inca. . Buddhist and Hindu teachings have long told

us that everything is energy dancing in form, and that the dance is a continuous

weaving of the form and the formless.

 

Now research from the frontiers of science is telling us the same thing.
