Cells emit sparks of Chi
I had the awesome opportunity 2 days ago of looking at my live blood projected onto a screen. One of my new friends is a phlebotomist as well as a microscopist. She was looking at a drop of my blood under a high powered microscope. It was fascinating! I was watching what she could see under that microscope onscreen. I saw healthy single red blood cells and also clumps of them grouped together that are not able to get oxygen... as easily. I also saw white blood cells and various other things inside and outside of the various cells. There were things that looked like parasites, fermentation, yeast, toxins, rods, plaque, dark crystals and uric acid crystals.... I learned a lot! Blood can tell what is stressed in your body. (I touch on that in my DVD.) I sprayed just 10 sprays of the product ASEA under my tongue and we repeated the process with a new drop of my blood 10 minutes later. It was fascinating to see all the detoxing that was now going on in this microscopic world of a drop of blood.
I sat spellbound looking at a ring of light emanating from each red blood cell. I wondered, was that ring of light coming from the microscope above it or was the light originating from within the cell itself?
I'm pretty sure that God wanted me to find an answer. It seems He woke me up at 5:00 this morning. I didn't know why, but I felt compelled to get up that early. I read my scriptures for half an hour and then checked my e-mail. In one e-mail message a friend had asked for Farley Anderson's phone number so I looked in a book he authored for contact info. It wasn't there. However, there was a dog-eared page that had been turned down not once, but twice years ago. That double fold caught my eye. I felt I should see what I had once thought so important as to double dog- ear. What a surprise! It was a page that held answers to the question I had posed 2 days earlier about blood cells being surrounded by rings of light. I was ecstatic to read the following! Emphasis has been added by me.
"Internationally known Dr. Parris M. Kidd, Ph.D., health educator and biomedicalr esearch specialist,
and author of numerous books and articles, had this to say about how minerals support Chi, the vital force of life.
'Did you guess that the mineral supplement that you choose to add to your diet might have noticeable effect on your Chi energy? Chi is the life-force that flows through our bodies. In traditional Chines medicine, Chi is seen as the paramount vital energy. Herbs and dietary supplements, including mineral supplements, are used to boost Chi, and so restore healthful vigor. Here in the West, progressive health practitioners are embracing Chi as a major option in their holistic programs. Chi is an electronic energy that can be measured using sensitive electro-acupuncture machines. It is thought that Chi originates at the level of a single cell, which is the basic unit of life. The trillions of cells in the human body make electronic energy simultaneously with chemical energy in the tiny energy factories they have that are called mitochondria. The Chi energy leaves the single cells and moves out of the tissue, then travels through the organs and the entire body, as measured via the classic acupuncture meridian points. The correlation between Chi and minerals is that Chi is an electron energy, and the more charged atoms there are in the fluids, the better can the electronic energy flow. Much as in a battery, the more charged atoms (ions) there are in the battery solution, the stronger is the battery. Similarly, our cells make the sparks of Chi, but its flow is held by the minerals.
`'The better the balance of the minerals in the fluids, the better the Chi should flow. While we do know that there are 23 elements strictly proven essential for the body, we do not know that the others are not essential or not important. These may well contribute to Chi. . . . From my research into this phenomenon of Chi, it has become clear that by supplementing our diet with a well-balanced mineral supplement we can go a far way towards optimizing our energy and overall well being. (Used by permission from a 1996 speech.)' " (Quoted in Farley M. Anderson, Nature's Answer, Bear River, Utah, Replenishing Press, p 37-38)
I felt this author was a second-witness to what my new friend, Kathleen Erickson, taught. We both presented at a health conference in Provo recently where she showed us videos of live blood glowing with light after taking the product, ASEA. I was taking notes as fast as I could and felt I had found a kindred spirit. She spoke of being able to see both light and darkness in the cells. We both were excited about scriptures that speak of this. Wow! All truth fits together. Gotta love science and technology that agree with scripture!
Spiritual Radiation
SPIRITUAL RADIATION
Number three in a series
A COLLECTION OF QUOTES ON THE PRINCIPLE OF SPIRITUAL RADIATION
AN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION PAPER ON THE NATURE OF A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
by
Rex A. Wadham, Associate Professor of Elementary Education
Dept. of Elementary Education, Brigham Young University
Dept. of Elementary Education, Brigham Young University
Spiritual radiation is a central element for the transmission of knowledge between all organized beings. It is the unspoken but pervasive yet ineffable influence that surrounds all relationships; all interactions between all intelligent entities. If the principle of spiritual radiation is a true phenomenon then what are the implications of this force as it impacts upon the learning environment? What is the effect of the spiritual radiation that I emanate upon those whom I teach?
The source of this radiation is identified by Parley P. Pratt as the Holy Spirit and its counterpart, found in one’s own body, he refers to as spiritual magnetism. Brother Pratt suggests that one of the component structures contained within the Holy Spirit is that of an invisible but tangible substance. The Holy Spirit is also “the purest, the most refined and subtle of all these [invisible] substances, [such as, electricity, galvanism, magnetism, animal magnetism, spiritual magnetism, essence, spirit etc.] and the one least understood, or even recognized, by the less informed among mankind…”(Keys to Theology, Parley P. Pratt, p. 46)
The law that governs the flow of these two spiritual “fluids” and the communicative properties they contain bear some resemblance to the laws that govern electricity. Like electricity, the flow is imparted between two or more bodies through the channel of the nerves. (Keys to Theology, Parley P. Pratt, pp 99-100)
This statement helps us respect the effect that drugs may have on the nerves to retard the flow of spiritual communication between each other, and between us and God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Brother Pratt has been frequently quoted over the years about the natural effect that the Holy Ghost has upon one who has been baptized and has developed within himself the gift of the Holy Ghost, or in other words, the presence of the Holy Ghost. He said: “The gift of the Holy Ghost adapts itself to all these organs or attributes. [Man, created in the image of God, possesses every organ, attribute, sense, sympathy, affection that God himself possesses]. It quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands, and purifies all the natural passions and affections; and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use. It inspires, develops, cultivates and matures all the fine-toned sympathies, joys, tastes, kindred feelings and affections of our nature. It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness and charity. It develops beauty of person, form and features. It tends to health, vigor, animation and social feeling. It invigorates all the faculties of the physical and intellectual man. It strengthens, and gives tone to the nerves. In short, it is, as it were, marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, light to the eyes, music to the ears, and life to the whole being. In the presence of such persons, one feels to enjoy the light of their countenance, as the genial rays of a sunbeam. Their very atmosphere diffuses a thrill, a warm glow of pure gladness and sympathy, to the heart and nerves of other who have kindred feelings, or sympathy of spirit” [such as little children who are protected by Christ through His atonement and dwell in His spiritual light. See Moroni Chapter 8]. (Keys to Theology, Parley P. Pratt, p. 101).
President David O. McKay gave a major statement on spiritual radiation to the faculty and student body on the Brigham Young University campus in 1948. The title of the address was “Mission of the Brigham Young University.” He talked about this spiritual radiation flowing not only from each other but from the physical buildings—offices, and classrooms—where we work. In essence he said that all things radiate a spiritual influence.
“I have quoted often before, and shall again because I like it, in referring to the influence of an individual. There is one responsibility which no man can evade and that responsibility is personal influence. Man’s unconscious influence, the silent, subtle radiation of his personality. The effects of his words and acts. These are tremendous. Every moment of life he is changing to a degree the life of the whole world.
“Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other. So silent and unconsciously is this influence working, that man may forget that it exists. Man cannot escape for one moment from this radiation of his character. This constantly weakening or strengthening of others. He cannot evade the responsibility by saying it is an unconscious influence. He can select the qualities he would permit to be radiated. He can cultivate sweetness, trust, generosity, truth, justice, loyalty, nobility, and make them vitally active in his character. By these qualities he will constantly affect the world. This radiation to which I refer comes from what a person really is, and not from what he pretends to be.
Every man by his mere living, is radiating sympathy, sorrow, or morbidness, cynicism, or happiness or hope or any other of a hundred qualities. Life is a state of radiation and absorption. To exist is to radiate. To exist is to be the recipient of radiation.” (Mission of the Brigham Young University”, and address given by President David O. McKay at BYU, April 27, 1948).
Brother McKay said he has often referred to the principle in his talks. He continued to do so on several later occasions. In his conference address of April, 1963 he said: “Every man and every person who lives in this world wields an influence, whether for good or for evil. It is not what he says alone, it is not alone what he does. It is what he is. Every man, every person radiates what he or she really is.
Every person is a recipient of radiation. The Savior was conscious of that. Whenever he came into the presence of an individual, he sensed that radiation—whether it was the woman of Samaria with her past life; whether it was the woman who was to be stoned, or the men who were to stone her; whether it was the statesman, Nicodemus, or one of the lepers. He was conscious of the radiation from the individual. And to a degree so are you, and so am I. It is what we are and what we radiate that affects the people around us.
As individuals, we must think nobler thoughts. We must not encourage vile thoughts or low aspirations. We shall radiate them if we do. If we think noble thoughts; if we encourage and cherish noble aspirations, there will be that radiation when we meet people, especially when we associate with them.
That it is true of the individual. It is true of the home…Our homes radiate what we are, and that radiation comes from what we say and how we act in the home. No member of this Church—husband, father—has the right to utter an oath in his home, or ever express a cross word to his wife or to his children. You cannot do it as a man who holds the priesthood and be true to the spirit within you by your ordination and your responsibility. You should contribute to an ideal home by your character, controlling your passion, your temper, guarding your speech, because those things will make your home what it is and what it will radiate to the neighborhood.
“…as men of the priesthood, as women of the Church, we have greater responsibilities than ever before to make our homes such as will radiate to our neighbors harmony, love, community duties, loyalty. Let our neighbors see it and hear it. Never must there be expressed in a Latter-day Saint home an oath, a condemnatory term, an expression of anger or jealousy or hatred. Control it! Do not express it! You do what you can to produce peace and harmony, no matter what you may suffer.
“The Savior set us the example. He was always calm, always controlled, radiating something which people could feel as they passed. When the woman touched his garment, he felt something go from him—that radiation which is divine.
“Each individual soul has it. That is you! The body is only the house in which you live. God help us to radiate strength, control, love, charity, which is another name for love, consideration, best wishes for all human beings.
“The Church is reaching out, radiating, not only by bodies and meetings, but now through the kindness of the radio owners, the television owners, we have touched them [members of the church and non-members in Alaska and other places] from the center…radiating throughout the whole world.
“God help us as members of the priesthood, as members of the Church to radiate faith, love of humility, charity, control, consideration, and service to his people wherever they are, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.” (David O. McKay, Conference Report, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, April, 1963, pp. 129-131)
At another time he made this comment: “The first thing to do, my brethren, is to look to yourselves, to see whether or not you are prepared to teach. No Man can teach that which he himself does not know. It is the duty to teach that Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of the world, that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God, and that to him in this last dispensation there appeared God the Father and His Son in person. Do you believe it? Does the testimony radiate from your being when you enter into the home? If so, that radiation will give life to the people whom you teach. If not, there will be a dearth, a drought, a lack of that spiritual environment in which the Saints grow. (David O McKay, Conference Report, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, David O. McKay October 1916, pp.58-59). Note the emphasis he gives to the fact that positive spiritual radiation gives life to those to whom we serve. In still another conference address when speaking about free agency he said: “There is another responsibility correlated and even coexistent with free agency, which is too infrequently emphasized, and that is the effect not only of a person’s actions but also of his thoughts upon others. Man radiates what he is, and that radiation affects to a greater or lesser degree every person who comes within that radiation”. (Conference Report, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, David O McKay, April 1950, p.34)
David O. McKay was not the only president of the church to make a reference to the spiritual phenomena associated with radiation processes. President Spencer W. Kimball in his book, The Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 107, used the quote from the BYU address of President David O McKay to emphasize the truth that our thoughts can and do influence others.
This radiation is also referred to, in the scriptures, as the manifestation of spiritual light which is sometimes quoted as being analogous to a lighted candle. Mathew 5:15, Mark 4:21, :Luke 8:21, 11:33, 3 Nephi 12:15 are some examples.
President Heber C. Kimball has warned us that we cannot live on borrowed light (Life of Heber C. Kimball, Orson F. Whitney, pp. 449-450). More recently President Harold B. Lee quoted Brother Kimball in a conference address given in 1956 (Conference Report, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Harold B. Lee Oct. 1956 p. 62). The same warning was cited again in the Relief Society Courses of Study, 1979-1980, pp. 24-25. The Book of Revelation, in the New Testament, also describes the condition that has always prevailed for those members who continually live on borrowed light and who do not seek to become their own source of original light” “And the light of the candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by the sorceries were all nations deceived.” (Revelation 18:23). The light is the Holy Ghost, the bride and the bridegroom symbolize the union that exists between Christ and the members of the church, the merchants (where the source of light could be obtained) were the great men of the earth—the prophets both living and dead, the sorceries denotes an absence of light or the desire to gain power from the assistance of evil spirits or of men. The Melchizedek Priesthood Personal Study Guide, 1979-1980 in Lesson 11 quotes President Joseph F. Smith in a similar statement: “But all this availeth little or nothing, unless the Saints consider themselves of some consequence, and let their light shine, collectively and individually; unless they are model in their behavior, honest, zealous in the spread of truth, tolerant of their neighbors,” then he adds, “One fault to be avoided by the Saints, young and old, is the tendency to live on borrowed light, with their own hidden under a bushel; to permit the savor of their salt of knowledge to be lost; and the light within them to be reflected, rather than original” (Gospel Doctrine, Joseph F. Smith pp. 87-88).
Sad to say that what President Joseph F. Smith referred to as lost knowledge is evidently lost to the present generation of the church. There is a body of knowledge that was restored to the earth in the first generation of the restoration that is not commonly known or understood today. A case in point can be taken from the five-year course, 1908-1912, for the Melchizedek Priesthood, titled The Seventy’s Course in Theology, edited by B.H. Roberts, In the manual for 1912, part one of the course (six lessons) deals with the principle, “Divine Immanence.” Sadly, this precept is rarely understood by the present generation of prieshood holder; yet it is the heart and soul of the principle of spiritual radiation and light being discussed in this paper. Divine Immanence, as taught by B.H. Roberts, is the indwelling of God’s light within us plus power—His power. (The Seventy’s Course of Study, Fifth Year, Part 1, edited by B.H. Roberts.) Here is another example of the principle of indwelling as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ. He is speaking to the Twelve Nephite apostles he had called to preside over His church. He said: “And if it so be that the church is built upon my gospel then will the Father show forth his own works in it” (3 Nephi 27:10). What the Lord is saying is that if His Gospel is not actively within us then the works of the Father cannot be made manifest in us. His works cannot flow through us. And what is the gospel? Brother Bruce R. McConkie said: “It embraces all of the laws, principles, doctrines, rites, ordinances, acts, powers, authorities, and keys necessary to save and exalt men in the highest heaven thereafter. Later in the same discussion he said: “The scriptures bear record of the gospel, but the gospel itself consists in the power of the priesthood and the possession of the gift of the Holy Ghost” (Mormon Doctrine, Bruce R. McConkie, see “Gospel”, p. 331-334).
To better understand this principle let me refer you to a statement made by Elder Hugh B. Brown on the spirit’s ability to speak to the spirit of others. The occasion was a visit to the American Fork Training School—and institutional school for the retarded—where he challenged the seminary teachers to teach the gospel to the mentally handicapped spirit to spirit. He told the teachers that the children were handicapped only in the body and mind, but that their spirits were not handicapped and if they would teach them spirit to spirit there would be no communication problem (Church News, December 10, 1977, p. 10). Spiritual Radiation then , is a flow of communication from the true self. It is a flow of information from one tabernacle to another tabernacle. Note the following statement from the 93:35; “The elements are the tabernacle of God; yea, man is the tabernacle of God, even temples; and whatsoever temple is defiled, God shall destroy that temple.” A temple is where God’s truth can indwell with power. And what is power? John A. Woodstoe in his address on “Temple Worship” defines power as “knowledge made alive and useful—that is intelligence; and intelligence in action—that is power. Our temples gives us power—a power based on enlarged knowledge and intelligence—a power from on high, of a quality with God’s own power” (The Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine, “Temple Worship”, John A. Widstoe, April 1921, pp. 49-64). Orson Pratt defines knowledge as our perception of truth. But what is truth? “Truth may exist without knowledge, but knowledge cannot exist without truth” (“Absurdities of Immaterialism”, Orson Pratt p.1).
Orson Pratt provides further insight to the indwelling nature of God’s power in his discourse on the “Powers of Nature.” He refers to God as being the great source of truth and power contained within the cosmos: “The great Architect of the universe did not construct the magnificent machinery of nature, and endow the materials thereof with certain fixed powers, and then withdraw Himself, or step aside to see the mighty fabric operate. Unintelligent materials are incapable of being endowed with any kind of power, much less with the wise and intelligent powers that characterize the workings of the universe. God is every moment in nature, and every moment acts upon nature, and through nature, the same as the spirit of man acts in, and through, and upon the tabernacle of his body, [2 Nephi 2 enlarges this idea]. If God should withdraw himself from nature, or should cease to act upon it, that portion of it which is without life or intelligence (if there be any such portion) would immediately cease all action: and while thus apart from nature no laws could be given to it which could be obeyed: no gravitative or cohesive tendencies could be exerted upon it; no chemical combinations or organic operations could be performed; or in other words, unintelligent nature would be entirely dead, and no voice or power could awake it, or have the least effect upon it, without entering into it, an operating upon it, and through it. It is only living and intelligent substances that hear, and understand, and obey a law. And if unintelligent nature, appears to act and obey a law, it is not in reality the acts of nature, but the operations of a living, intelligent substance inhabiting nature.. Unintelligent nature could no more act than the body without the spirit could act. Therefore, all the grand and magnificent movements of the universe as a whole, and all the minute and imperceptible operations of it particles, are the continued effects of the living, moving all-powerful substance diffused through the whole. This all pervading, omnipresent substance is the Holy Spirit existing in inexhaustible quantities, and extending though the immensity of space: it is the light, and the life, and the power of all things. To search out the laws of nature is nothing less than searching out the laws by which the Spirit in nature operates. Man is continually beholding these wonderful operation, but because he does not behold the acting agent, he ascribes the effects to blind, unintelligent and unconscious matter: as well might he ascribe the attributes of the divinity to a wooden idol. The light shines all around us, and is manifest in an infinite variety of wise and beneficial results, but so great is the darkness of man, that he perceives not the light; or as our great Redeemer has said, “The light shineth in darkness, but the darkness comprehendeth it not” (The Seer, Orson Pratt, p. 227).
Since life is a continual state of radiation and absorption what must we do to absorb a greater proportion of God’s light? “The Lord is no respecter of persons, and to all who are willing to seek in prayer, with preparation, and work, having a desire in their hearts for spiritual light and understanding, He will grant abundantly without reproach. But no light will come to the unwilling, for they will not ask. The promise that they shall receive is made only to those who ask; and that they shall find, only to those who seek” (Joseph F. Smith, Improvement Era, Vol. 19, p. 173).
And what should we be doing with this light? “We ought to be full of light and life and the power and spirit of the living God and feel that we are messengers to the nations of the earth; we ought to feel the word of God burning like fire in our bones, feeling desirous to go and snatch men from the powers of darkness and the chains of corruption with which they are bound and lead them in the paths of life. We ought to be prepared to go forth weeping, bearing precious seed that we might come back again rejoicing bringing our sheaves with us.” (John Taylor, December 15, 1878, Journal of Discourses, 20:228).
How should a missionary use this light? “…missionaries are now going to school [such as the MTC and BYU] to [learn what to teach. The spirit already knows the “how” of teaching.] teach others, and in teaching others they themselves will be instructed, and when they rise to speak in the name of Israel’s God, if they live in purity and holiness before Him, He will give them words and ideas of which they never dreamed before. I have traveled hundreds and thousands of miles to preach this gospel among all grades and conditions of men, and there is one thing that always gave me satisfaction—I never yet found a man in any part of the world who could overturn one principle that has been communicated to us; they will attempt it, but error is a very singular weapon with which to combat truth; it never can vanquish it. When men go forth in the name of Israel’s God there is no power on earth that can overturn the truths they advocate…they have the light of revelation, the fire of the Holy Ghost, and the power of the priesthood within the—a power that they know very little about even themselves, which, like a well-spring of life, is rising, bursting, bubbling, and spreading its exhilarating streams around” (John Taylor, April 14, 1867, Journal of Discourses 12:21-22).
What is the law that governs this light? “There is not a man born into the world but has a portion of the Spirit of God, and it is that Spirit of God which gives to his spirit understanding. Without this, he would be but an animal like the rest of the brute creation, without understanding, without judgment, without skill, without ability, except to eat and to drink like the brute beast. But inasmuch as the Spirit of God giveth all men understanding, he is enlightened above the brute beast. He is made in the image of God Himself, so that he can reason, reflect, pray, exercise faith; he can use his energies for the accomplishment of the desires of his heart, and inasmuch as the Spirit of God giveth all men understanding, he is enlightened above the brute beast. He is made in the image of God Himself, so that he can reason, reflect, pray, exercise faith; he can use his energies for the accomplishment of the desires of his heart, and inasmuch as he puts forth his efforts in the proper direction, then he is entitled to an increased portion of the Spirit of the Almighty to inspire him to increased intelligence, to increased prosperity and happiness in the world; but in proportion as he prostitutes his energies for evil, the inspiration of the Almighty is withdrawn from him until he becomes so dark and so benighted, that so far as his knowledge of God is concerned, so far as the future or hopes of eternal life are concerned, he is quite as ignorant as a dumb brute” (Joseph F. Smith, February 17, 1884, Journal of Discourses, 25:54).
Brigham Young explains the power of the radiated light: “I long for the time that a point of a finger, or motion of the hand, will express every idea without utterance. When a man is full of the light of eternity, then the eye is not the only medium through which he sees, his ear is not the only medium by which he hears, not the brain the only means by which he understands. When the whole body is full of the Holy Ghost, he can see behind him with as much ease, without turning his head, as he can see before him If you have not that experience, you ought to have. It is not the optic nerve alone that gives the knowledge of surrounding objects to the mind, but it is that which God has placed in man—a system of intelligence to intelligence, and truth to truth. It is this which lays in man a proper foundation for all education. I shall yet see the time that I can converse with this people and not speak to them, but the expression of my countenance will tell the congregation what I wish to convey, without opening my mouth” (Brigham Young).
What is the difference between knowledge and intelligence? “There is a difference between knowledge and pure intelligence. Satan possesses knowledge, far more than we have, but he has not intelligence or he would render obedience to the principles of truth and right. I know men who have knowledge, who understand the principles of the gospel, perhaps as well as you do, who are brilliant, but who lack the essential qualification of pure intelligence. They will not accept and render obedience thereto. Pure intelligence comprises not only knowledge, but also the power to properly apply that knowledge” (Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine, p. 58, April 1913).
Brother B.H. Roberts understood the problem of imparting knowledge to others. In his discourses, “The Nearness of God” he said: “We have to preach our truth in fragments; it is beyond our power to present it as a whole in any one discourse, or in one hundred, or in a thousand discourses. We may only teach it in fragments—a line here, a word there, precept upon precept, and so build up the truth in the hearts of men (Cited in the Masterpieces of Latter-day Saint Leaders, compiled by N.H. Lundwall, p. 47). Notice that he said “build up truth in the hearts of men” and not build up truth in the minds of men.” Brigham Young clarifies the function of the heart in obtaining truth by asking a question: “Do you think that people will obey the truth because it is true, unless they love it? No, they will not. Truth is obeyed when it is loved” (Brigham Young, June 27, 1858, Journal of Discourses 7:55). President Heber J. Grant, back in 1923, in speaking about the specific purpose of the Church School System, had this to say about educating the heart: “To my mind, and I have repeated time and time again whenever I have spoken in our Church Schools and in private in regard to schools, the specific purpose of the Church School System is to make Latter-day Saints—to educate the heart, so to speak. The heart is the engine and if it is alright, we can generally get along pretty well so far as the head and the other parts of the body are concerned; but unless the heart of a man is right, unless a man is determined to do good, unless he believes in God and in Jesus Christ, and believes in the divine mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith, he cannot accomplish what he might achieve in this Church if he had that knowledge. It is to implant that knowledge in the hearts of the people that we have a school system and if the thing for which it was organized, that which is expected of it, and which we all hope and pray for it to do. I am very sorry indeed that a great many simply study and learn the words, so to speak, the letter of the things, without getting the spirit of them. The spirit, we are told, gives life and animation and power, and it is to develop the spirit of man that we have established this Church School System” (Improvement Era, “Spiritual Development Needed in Education” by Heber J. Grant, Vol. 26, No. 12, October 1923, pp. 1091-93).
Distance Healing Science Experiments
I John 5:8 totally fascinates me. The verse previous reads, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." Following that it reads: "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." That tells me that Spirit, water and blood all record information and therefore have a ‘voice’ to bear witness. It seems to me that the Lord is teaching us here that water, blood and Spirit record and keep data that can also be sent out as information.
Remember the blood above the door mantles at Passover? I John 5:8 has astounding ramifications in light of what scientists and physicists have learned about water, blood and subtle Energy or what some call Spirit. Scientists have demonstrated that water, blood and our energy systems (intelligence/spirit) each record information. The information copying function of water is evidenced in homeopathy. It is also evidenced in the findings of Dr. Masaru Emoto whose experiments show that water records information! He is an internationally renowned researcher who claims there is an intrinsic vibrational pattern at the atomic level in all matter and that words influence those vibrations. His experiments of photographing frozen water crystals show that water is affected by words and connected to our consciousness. (see hado.net or The Hidden Messages in Water or The True Power of Water)
It is obvious to us today that DNA records information. Anecdotal evidence regarding blood's capability to do that is found in cases of blood transfusions, during which recipients have seen images of places they’ve never been and memories which are not their own. There are also books about transplant recipients who suddenly find themselves craving different food and activities... only to find upon investigation that their new tastes match the donor's habits and cravings. In the scriptures the Lord asked the murderer Cain, "What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground." (Genesis 4:10 emphasis added; see also Rev 6:10; 2 Nephi 28:10;Alma 14:11; Mormon 8:27;Ether 8:22; D&C 87:7; D&C 109:49, D&C 135:7 ) "They have shed innocent blood which crieth from the ground."(D&C 136:36) I believe these verses are speaking (okay, that pun was intended) more than just figuratively.
The verse in First John supports experiments by Dr. C. Norman Shealy in addition to the studies Gregg Braden and Larry Dossey write of concerning energetically affecting non-localized events. What that means in everyday language is that distant energy healing is possible. The Bible has examples of this done by the Savior as well as mere mortals.
A post on Dec 15, 2004 by guest "Dr. G" on the Global Healing Center website tells of 3 different astonishing experiments done on DNA. Dr. G's message is titled "DNA Activation for Healing" and says:
"In his recent program entitled Healing Hearts/Healing Nations: The Science of Peace and the Power of Prayer, Gregg Braden discussed how in the past we lost huge amounts of information from ancient spiritual traditions (when the library at Alexandria burned we lost at least 532,000 documents), and that there may be information in those traditions which could help us understand some of the mysteries of science. To this end he reported on three very interesting experiments. Gregg Braden started off as a scientist and engineer, before he began pursuing these larger questions. "
"EXPERIMENT #1 The first experiment he reported was done by Dr.Vladimir Poponin, a quantumbiologist. In this experiment, first a container was emptied (ie a vacuum was created within it), and then the only thing left in it were photons (particles of light). They measured the distribution (ie the location) of the photons and found they were completely random inside the container. This was the expected result. Then some DNA was placed inside the container and the distribution (location) of the photons was remeasured. This time the photons were LINED UP in an ORDERED way and aligned with the DNA. In other words, the physical DNA had an effect on the non-physical photons. After that, the DNA was removed from the container, and the distribution of the photons was remeasured again. The photons REMAINED ORDERED and lined up where the DNA had been. What are the light particles connected to? Gregg Braden says we are forced to accept the possibility that some NEW field of energy, a web of energy, is there and the DNA is communicating with the photons through this energy.
"EXPERIMENT #2 These were experiments done by the military. Leukocytes (white blood cells) were collected for DNA from donors and placed into chambers so they could be measure electrical changes. In this experiment, the donor was placed in one room and subjected to "emotional stimulation" consisting of videoclips, which generated different emotions in the donor. The DNA was placed in a different room in the same building. Both the donor and his DNA were monitored and as the donor exhibited emotional peaks or valleys (measured by electricalresponses), the DNA exhibited the IDENTICAL RESPONSES AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. There was no lag time, no transmission time. The DNA peaks and valleys EXACTLY MATCHED the peaks and valleys of the donor in time. The military wanted to see how far away they could separate the donor from his DNA and still get this effect. They stopped testing after they separated the DNA and the donor by 50 miles and STILL had the SAME result. No lag time; no transmission time. The DNA and the donor had the same identical responses in time. What can this mean? Gregg Braden says it means that living cells communicate through a previously unrecognized form of energy. This energy is not affected by time and distance. This is a non-local form of energy, an energy that already exists everywhere, all the time.
"EXPERIMENT #3 The third experiment was done by the Institute of Heart Math and the paper that was written about this was titled: Local and Non local Effects of Coherent Heart Frequencies on Conformational Changes of DNA. (Disregard the title! The info is incredible.) This is the experiment that relates directly to the anthrax situation. In this experiment, some human placenta DNA (the most pristine form of DNA) was placed in a container from which they could measure changes in the DNA. Twenty-eight vials of DNA were given (one each) to 28 trained researchers. Each researcher had been trained how to generate and FEEL feelings, and they each had strong emotions. What was discovered was that the DNA CHANGED ITS SHAPE according to the feelings of the researchers: 1. Whenthe researchers FELT gratitude, love and appreciation, the DNA responded by RELAXING and the strands unwound. The length of the DNA became longer. 2. When theresearchers FELT anger, fear, frustration, or stress, the DNA responded by TIGHTENING UP. It became shorter and SWITCHED OFF many of our DNA codes! If you've ever felt "shut down" by negative emotions, now you know why your body was equally shut down, too. The shut down of the DNA codes was reversed and the codes were switched back on again when feelings of love, joy, gratitude and appreciation were felt by the researchers. This experiment was later followed up by testing HIV positive patients. They discovered that feelings of love, gratitude and appreciation created 300,000 TIMES the RESISTANCE theyhad without those feelings.
"So here's the answer to what can help you stay well, no matter what dreadful virus or bacteria may be floating around. Stay in feelings of joy, love, gratitude and appreciation! These emotional changes went beyond the effects of electro-magnetics. Individuals trained in deep love were able to change the shape of their DNA. Gregg Braden says this illustrates anew recognized form of energy that connects all of creation. This energy appears to be a TIGHTLY WOVEN WEB that connects all matter. Essentially we're able to influence this web of creation through our VIBRATION." (taken from http://www.ghchealth.com/forum/post-170.html )
The second experiment spoken about above is also mentioned in a wonderful book by pastor Joel Osteen. He says, "I read of an interesting study done in 1993 by the United States military. They were curious about what traits get passed down from one generation to the next. We know that physical traits do. What about emotional, mental, and spiritual characteristics? What about bad attitudes and additions? Or what about good qualities such as integrity, compassion, and godliness? Can they be passed down as well?
"The researchers extracted some white blood cells from a volunteer and they carefully placed them in a test tube. They then put a probe from a lie detector machine down in that test tube, to measure the person's emotional response.
"Next, they instructed this same volunteer to go a couple of doors down and watch some violent scenes from an old war movie on television. When this man watched the scenes, even though the blood that was being tested was in another room, when he got all uptight and tense, that lie detector test shot off the page. It was detecting his emotional response even though the blood was no longer in his body.
"The experimenters did this with person after person with the same results. They concluded that the blood cells seem to "remember" where they came from. Now, if sicknesses and addictions and wrong mind-sets can be passed down, how much more can God's blessings, favor and good habits be passed down through our blood? As important as it may be to understand the generational curse, it is vital that we understand the generational blessings we can obtain." (Joel Osteen, Become a Better You p 60-61)
I can't help but think of the verses in D&C 88:11-13 when I read the above experiements. "And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings; Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space- the light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things." That is a most amazing scripture! The light from God sharpens our understanding of everything. This same light fills our vast galaxy and universe and all of space. This light is IN all matter and gives life to all creation. This light is the very law by which all matter- visible and invisible- is governed. This light is the answer Gregg Braden and world renowned scientists are still searching for! The answers ARE in the scriptures!
In light of the understanding that all creation is connected energetically, it should not come as such a shock that energy therapists are able to work with clients over the phone and EFFECT CHANGES. Although there is a distance between the facilitator and the client's physical selves, there is no distance between their energy bodies because it is a unified field. At first, it took awhile to wrap my brain around that concept. We are individual souls, yet we are all connected energetically.
It is obvious to us today that DNA records information. Anecdotal evidence regarding blood's capability to do that is found in cases of blood transfusions, during which recipients have seen images of places they’ve never been and memories which are not their own. There are also books about transplant recipients who suddenly find themselves craving different food and activities... only to find upon investigation that their new tastes match the donor's habits and cravings. In the scriptures the Lord asked the murderer Cain, "What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground." (Genesis 4:10 emphasis added; see also Rev 6:10; 2 Nephi 28:10;Alma 14:11; Mormon 8:27;Ether 8:22; D&C 87:7; D&C 109:49, D&C 135:7 ) "They have shed innocent blood which crieth from the ground."(D&C 136:36) I believe these verses are speaking (okay, that pun was intended) more than just figuratively.
The verse in First John supports experiments by Dr. C. Norman Shealy in addition to the studies Gregg Braden and Larry Dossey write of concerning energetically affecting non-localized events. What that means in everyday language is that distant energy healing is possible. The Bible has examples of this done by the Savior as well as mere mortals.

As I mentioned, there are examples of distant healing in the Bible by the Savior as well as distant healing by mere mortals. Paul is an example in the New Testament and Elisha an example from the Old Testament. Modern day apostle Parley P. Pratt wrote, " As the electric fluid obeys its own laws upon the wire, so also does the spiritual or holy fluid convey itself, through certain channels, from one body to another, in accordance with certain legitimate laws. . . . A person commissioned of Jesus Christ and filled with this spiritual substance, can impart of the same to another, provided there is a preparation of heart and faith on the part of the receiver. Or if, as in cases of healing, casting out devils, etc., it happens that the receiver has no command of his own mind, as in cases of little children, persons swooned, fainted, deranged or dead, then the faith of the administrator alone, or in connection with other friends and agents, in his behalf, is sufficient in many cases to perform the work. However, the touch or laying on of hands, is not the only means of communicating the gift of healing. A word spoken, a mandate issued, or even a handkerchief, apron, or other garment, worn or touched by a person full of this Spirit, and conveyed to another, has, according to sacred history, and also the experience of the present age, proved sufficient to communicate the spiritual fluid between minds of strong and mutual faith. So well acquainted was the Prophet Elisha with this principle, that he sent his servant to lay his staff upon a dead child, in order to raise it from the dead; but in this instance, the undertaking failed. The prophet could only resuscitate the child by placing face on face, eye to eye, mouth to mouth, hand to hand, etc., so as to give the greatest possible effect to the imparting of the spirit of life."(Parley P. Pratt, Key to the Science of Theology, 2000, Archive Publishers Heber City, UT, p 110-111)
I firmly believe that science and religion can work together in teaching truth, for that describes the last few years of my experience. The science I have come across has strengthened my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s not so surprising since all truth comes from God and He makes no distinction between scientific truth and religious truth. It is all His truth! It appears that scientists are telling us the very things that prophets have told us all along! The spirit world really is right here. It vibrates at a faster rate than our earthly plane and so most people don't tune in to that frequency. That is why it is said to be invisible to us. But it is here and it IS possible to see it among us with our spiritual eyes. I know that to be true!
Amega Wand Experience with Gout
It warmed my heart to see a friend who was suffering from gout experience relief with the Amega Zero Point Energy wand 2 days ago. He had been limping, but was soon walking more normally after just minutes of wanding. He said he was feeling much better. Being sensitive to subtle energy, he also noticed energy shifts going on in his chest. This occurred although we were wanding clear down by his feet. We trusted that the energy was indeed intelligent and knew what was best and where the energy was needed most. He is the first person to tell me that the sensations he felt were becoming uncomfortable, even somewhat painful. Continuing to trust, we wanded over his chest and within minutes, the sensations experienced marked improvement. We were both relieved. What a blessing! We give God the glory for this amazing nano technology.

Does the Amega wand really work?
Does the Amega wand really work?
I've been asked over and over if the wand really works. The answer is yes! A friend came over the other day with knee pain and left without any knee pain at all. He asked if he could wand his foot again and was happy that new skin was growing over an open sore there. His wife wanded her wrist and felt that it was moving more loosely after a minute or 2. She asked if I had any experience with people using the wand for carpal tunnel.
I said yes, our cook at the health food store had major issues with that very thing. (She is the one whose swollen, bruised thumb I wanded and watched as her bruised skin color went back to pink as reported in a previous post.) I related to my friends that our cook's hand had not hurt her at all for 2 days after I wanded her thumb. I happened to see our cook again and she was amazed for a 2nd time that the pain left her hand as I moved the wand clockwise over her hand. The cook laughed and said it was a magic wand, but I corrected her, stating that there was science behind it. She said, "I feel this tingling going on in my hand again. That's what I felt last time, too." I told her that was a good thing and explained that the Amega wand literature says it is actually altering the molecular structure, thereby changing matter to resonate at a zero-point energy. That is a healing energy folks! I got on fire with enthusiasm just reading about this Zero Point energy wand. I wanted to buy one even before I saw a demonstration of it. Of course, I've been reading books about cutting edge science and technology to give me a beginning understanding of what could be going on.
Back to my story. My friend with carpal tunnel pain asked if she could get wanded again on her wrist a few days after I saw her. She wanted to try it again since she had noticed a difference after the first time she used my energy wand. I met her in a parking lot and wanded her wrist again. I'm looking forward to hearing what that did for her long term. It felt better on the spot.
Another friend didn't have any pain so we wanded her head just for fun for a minute. Within a few minutes she said she was experiencing a metallic taste in her mouth. She admitted she had been concerned about some old fillings in her teeth and wanted to have a trained dentist in that procedure remove them. I commented that "the energy is channeled to those points where it is needed most" (direct quote from the literature) and that must have been the health priority she needed worked on all right.
I used the wand on an energy worker I just got acquainted with. She wasn't having any physical pain at the moment, so I just wanded circles over her head. Right away she declared that she was releasing a whole lot of negative energy. She said she had worked on a client the night before doing emotional release work and felt like she had taken on some of their energetic "stuff." Her hip had hurt her in the night, she hadn't slept well which was unusual, and she just felt a little off. She was SO PLEASED to be able to release so much so quickly! God is so good to us to bless us with this nano-technology! I am so grateful to be alive to see this day. It continues to amaze me that scientists, doctors and physicists came up with this technology in MY lifetime.
I came across an interesting chapter in the book Vibrational Medicine by Richard Gerber, M.D. on the healing power of crystals. I smiled when I read that Amethyst has the capability of altering the molecular structure of things. Hmm. I wonder if that's part of the minerals included in Amega's proprietary technology!? It wouldn't surprise me!
The way I look at it, this little device is worth its weight in gold. It will likely pay for itself quickly in saved trips to the pharmacy.... And it is wonderfully more healthy to wand a few circles over your body than to ingest chemicals in pill form for pain. I think it's a great value!
