    Mysterious Energy of Life    
    Tuesday, September 07 2010 @ 10:39 AM GMT+5
    Contributed by: Homey

    Sci-TechI believe we are all putting out something like a "personal electromagnetic energy" that does all kinds of things vibration-ally that we barely know of. Life is more than it seems, including all life forms even plants.

    We have barely an inkling of what is going on here. Dowsing for example is one small demonstration of it. Taichi studies this mysterious energy, calling it "chi." NBA basketball players depend on it, to play at a level they themselves can't explain. Creating great art depends on it too.

    Cats show up not by chance. It apparently can't be approached scientifically, because the conditions of experiment stop it from happening. The Tao has to flow naturally, can't be forced at all.

    Relevant quotes:

    "Under the conditions of scientific experiment ... the person experiences boredom rather than excitement, and so the evidence for ESP disappears. That is why scientific experiment fails. The experiment necessarily excludes the human emotions that make ESP possible."

    Freeman Dyson, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey


    "I'll suggest that these transactions are characterized by a paradox that helps explain why we haven't acknowledged them, must less found ways to understand them. They reflect human capacities to which we can't gain access in customary ways. They're peculiar capacities in that they're least likely to become available when we deliberately try to access them. We cannot reach these new sources simply by "tuning in" to something new; paradoxically, we must also "tune out" much of the ordinary information that continually bombards our senses."

    Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer, Ph.D, author of "Extraordinary Knowing."

    Went to Wikipedia to look up chi and found these two beautiful lines:

    "The etymological explanation for the form of the qi logogram in the traditional form; is [Chinese symbol here] steam rising from rice as it cooks...;.

    The earliest way of writing qi consisted of three wavy lines, used to represent one's breath seen on a cold day.

    This is what the film the 'secret' is attempting to reveal,
    and my work in creating a new understaing of how much
    power and ability we actually have to redirect the
    paradigm for a better outcome, through the 4 laws of the
    universe:
    manifestation, intention, allowance, balance and
    harmony.
    Money is a flow of energy, often confused with currency,
    and to let go of the how it is going to manifest, and
    instead hold the absolute faith that (we can) redirect the
    flow of money to benefit the people- so our friends and
    neighbors are happier, and even our enemies have less to
    be peeved about, is the goal.
    Handbook for a New paradigm, is a resource about these
    ideas, it is free online,
    good luck !
