INTRODUCTION TO SUBTLE ENERGY SCIENCE:

A subtle energy signifies an existence or quality of energy that is not easily detected by conventional instrumentation. Subtle energy phenomena range from latent frequencies inside the earth and ionosphere to remote viewing and precognitive experiences. Like specific phenomena within quantum physics, subtle energies are often dependent on, or directly created through, the presence or subjective state of the observer(s) or participant(s).

This element of subjectivity and the difficulty of detection are some of the reasons why subtle energy research is frequently ignored or discredited by mainstream scientists. More telling is our observation that many scientists are unwilling to apply the scientific method in areas of research not officially sanctioned by their peers.

A true scientist places the scientific method above all else and values the results of that methodology more than predisposed bias or foregone conclusions. Hundreds of well documented experiments, with statistically significant results, prove that subtle energies directly interact with consciousness and that energy medicine works. These results provide an initial scientific foundation for us to confidently seek out the causality and mechanics involved in subtle energy science.

At the beginnings of the 19th century, many scholars discouraged students from pursuing physics because they believed everything had already been discovered. Since then, nearly all substantial theories and findings indicate that our scientific reality describes an increasingly miniscule and incomplete slice of a fundamentally interconnected, multidimensional and unimaginably vast universe(s). Modern physics shows us that within a cubic centimeter of empty space there exists virtually infinite energy and hence information.

This is the realm of subtle energies - the vast majority of universal energy that exists as the “unseen” framework for the reality we typically perceive with our senses or measure with our devices. So why do we call them subtle? That is a good question because subtle energies carry more energy and information than the non-subtle energies, the tip-of-the-iceberg conventionally experienced as “reality”.

The word “subtle” seems to only apply within our modern cultural bias of avoiding the unexplainable and discrediting subjective states of awareness, including meditative, healing, visionary and dreaming states. This bias originates from worldviews that overly define and limit each person’s relationship with the unknown.

In the midst of the unknown, many of us repeatedly struggle for a sense of control and safety. We become over zealous in asserting scientific or religious views, and we cling to these abstractions like pieces of wood assembled into a raft - floating on the endless multidimensional sea of the unknown. Understandably, people sometimes become defensive or attack when their raft of abstractions is challenged or brought into question. We wouldn’t experience that clinging fear about the raft if only we learned to swim, or fly as the case may be.

Swimming or flying into the realm of subtle energies does not mean abandoning abstractions. Abstractions, after all, are the very basis of knowledge, science, math and language. They enable us to re-express causal conditions that reliably yield specific outcomes, and by so doing create technology. Modern technology primarily involves abstractions that consider three dimensions of space and the single dimension of forward linear time. In contrast, subtle energy technology arises from a more multidimensional, non-linear and fundamentally interconnected approach to energy and information transfer.

Interconnectivity presents profound challenges for those who seek to determine causality. How do we determine causality amidst the dynamic of so many simultaneously interdependent variables? The answer to that question begins by first acknowledging the innate capacity of the ultimate scientific instrument - the human being.

Within each of us lives a capacity rarely realized in our waking lives. Think about the level of intelligence expressed during dreaming states, where we create entire holographic worlds, populated with characters and details so rich and nuanced that they are indiscernible from waking experience. Then consider that during one minute of actual dreaming we can experience an entire day inside a dream. This unbelievably accelerated level of parallel information processing is handled effortlessly by our native inner intelligence.

After questioning characters inside a lucid dream, you might discover that each of them is uniquely motivated by their own deep-seated awareness, needs or desires. These self-aware entities do not follow some predefined script, but rather the dream creates itself through their non-linear interactions. In fact, the entire dreaming landscape exists as a non-linear process of co-creation - where information, causes and effects transfer across all dimensions. In exactly the same way, non-linear causality creates the holographic physical reality we experience while awake.

The physics of spacetime mirrors the physics of the psyche because they unfold via the same universal dynamics - as one fundamentally interconnected creative force. Viewing the psyche as an inner science, inseparable from outer science, presents extraordinary new possibilities and corresponding responsibilities.

In this unified-enlightened view, the universe exists within us and we are powerful beyond measure. So rather than relying on passive objectivity and rigid abstractions, we directly engage infinite human potential in the process of creation. During the process we apply scientific method to help illuminate our shared experience of the vast, multidimensional web of subtle energy causality.
