Key Takeaways

1. Beyond Newtonian Mechanics: The Einsteinian View of Life and Healing

Although the Einsteinian viewpoint has slowly found acceptance and application in the minds of physicists, Einstein's profound insights have yet to be incorporated into the way doctors look at human beings and illness.

Shifting paradigms. Traditional Western medicine operates on a Newtonian, mechanistic model, viewing the body as a complex machine of organs, chemicals, and enzymes. This approach, while effective for acute interventions like surgery and drugs, often overlooks the animating life-force and subtle energy systems that govern health. Vibrational medicine, conversely, embraces an Einsteinian perspective, recognizing that all matter is energy and that humans are dynamic energy fields.

Energy-based healing. This new paradigm suggests that illness arises from imbalances in these energetic systems. Vibrational medicine aims to restore health by manipulating these subtle energy fields, rather than solely focusing on physical or chemical interventions. It posits that by rebalancing the underlying energy, cellular physiology can be brought back into order.

Fundamental truth. Einstein's E=mc² proved that matter and energy are interchangeable expressions of a universal substance. This fundamental principle forms the bedrock of vibrational medicine, asserting that healing can occur by addressing the body's basic vibrational or energetic level. This approach moves beyond merely fixing symptoms to addressing the root energetic causes of disease.

2. The Multidimensional Human: A Symphony of Subtle Energy Bodies

The physical system, far from being a closed system, is only one of several systems which are in dynamic equilibrium.

Beyond the physical. Humans are not merely physical bodies but complex, multidimensional organisms composed of interpenetrating energy fields. These "subtle bodies" exist at different vibrational frequencies, coexisting in the same space without destructive interference, much like radio waves. They are invisible to the naked eye but are integral to our total functioning.

Energetic hierarchy. These subtle bodies form a hierarchy, with the physical body being the densest. They include:

  • Etheric body: A holographic energy template guiding physical growth and repair.
  • Astral (emotional) body: The seat of emotions and desires, influencing physical health through emotional states.
  • Mental body: The vehicle for concrete intellect and thoughtforms.
  • Causal body: Associated with abstract ideas and the Higher Self, storing karmic experiences.

Interconnected systems. The chakras (energy centers) and nadis (energy channels) act as vital interfaces, stepping down higher vibrational energies into usable forms for the physical body. They translate subtle energy into hormonal, physiological, and cellular changes, demonstrating a profound link between our spiritual and physical well-being.

3. The Etheric Body: Our Holographic Blueprint for Health

The etheric body is a holographic energy field or template that carries information for the growth, development, and repair of the physical body.

Invisible template. The etheric body is a subtle energy field that mirrors the physical body, acting as a holographic blueprint. It contains crucial spatial information for fetal development and cellular repair in adults. This template guides the physical body's organization, ensuring cells migrate to correct locations and tissues regenerate properly.

Precursor to illness. Disturbances in the etheric body often precede physical disease manifestation. Clairvoyant observations suggest that signs of illness can appear in the etheric field weeks or months before physical symptoms emerge. This implies that true preventive medicine could involve detecting and correcting these etheric imbalances.

Scientific hints. Early research by Harold S. Burr on electrical fields around living organisms and the "Phantom Leaf Effect" in Kirlian photography provide compelling, albeit controversial, evidence for the etheric body's existence. The phantom leaf, appearing intact despite physical amputation, suggests an organizing energy field that retains the spatial integrity of the missing part.

4. Water: Nature's Universal Medium for Subtle Energy

It would appear that water can be "charged" with and then "store" various types of subtle energies.

Energetic memory. Water, comprising 99% of the human body, possesses remarkable subtle energy properties. Experiments by Dr. Bernard Grad demonstrated that water could be "charged" with healing energy from healers' hands, subsequently influencing plant growth and enzyme activity. This suggests water can absorb and store subtle energies, even without direct physical contact.

Homeopathy's secret. This property is crucial to understanding homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies are prepared through extreme dilutions and succussion (vigorous shaking). While often containing no original molecules, they retain the "vibrational signature" of the substance, imprinted upon the water. This energetic essence, rather than chemical concentration, is believed to be the active therapeutic agent.

Qualitative changes. Grad's research showed that healer-treated water exhibited subtle changes in its molecular bond angle and surface tension. Robert Miller further found similarities between healer-treated and magnet-treated water, including altered crystallization patterns. These findings suggest that water acts as a universal storage medium for subtle, magnetic-like energies, which can then be transferred to living systems.

5. Vibrational Therapies: Healing with Nature's Frequencies

Vibrational medicines are usually essences or tinctures which are charged with a particular frequency of subtle energy.

Frequency matching. Vibrational medicine utilizes the principle of resonance to heal. Illness is seen as an energetic imbalance, and therapies provide specific frequencies to restore harmony. This is akin to a tuned oscillator accepting energy only in a narrow frequency band.

  • Homeopathy: Matches the patient's symptom complex (energetic frequency) with a remedy's "drug picture" (vibrational signature).
  • Flower Essences: Primarily influence emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies, increasing alignment with the Higher Self. They contain the "life-force" of the plant.
  • Gem Elixirs: Imprint water with crystalline properties, affecting physical organs and subtle bodies, amplifying consciousness.
  • Color Therapy: Uses specific color frequencies that resonate with chakras to rebalance energy flow.

Beyond molecules. These therapies work at subtle energetic levels, often without molecular presence of the original substance. Their effects cascade down from higher subtle bodies to influence physical cellular structures. The human body's own biocrystalline network, including the pineal gland and blood cells, acts as a receiver and amplifier for these subtle energies.

Holistic approach. Vibrational remedies offer a non-invasive, less toxic alternative or adjunct to conventional treatments. They address the root energetic causes of illness, promoting self-healing by restoring the body's natural energetic balance and vitality.

6. Psychic & Spiritual Healing: Unlocking Innate Human Potential

The ability to heal is an innate human potential.

Magnetic influence. Laying-on-of-hands healing, or "magnetic healing," involves the transfer of subtle energy from healer to patient. Dr. Bernard Grad's experiments showed healers could accelerate plant growth and wound healing in mice, and that this energy could be stored in water or cotton. Dr. Justa Smith found healers' energies could repair damaged enzymes and selectively influence enzyme activity, demonstrating a "negative entropic" (order-increasing) effect.

Subtle magnetism. While early detectors failed to register magnetic fields around healers, later ultrasensitive SQUID detectors confirmed weak but significant magnetic emissions. These energies align with Dr. William Tiller's "magnetoelectric" (ME) or "negative space/time" energy, which moves faster than light and possesses negative entropy.

Distant healing. Dr. Robert Miller's experiments with Olga Worrall showed that healing energies could influence plant growth and cloud chamber patterns from hundreds of miles away. This suggests that spiritual healing operates at higher dimensional levels, transcending conventional space-time limitations, and is limited only by the speed of thought.

Learnable skill. Dr. Dolores Krieger's research demonstrated that nurses could be trained in "Therapeutic Touch," inducing measurable physiological changes like increased hemoglobin levels. This proved that healing is a learnable human potential, not just an innate gift, and can be integrated into healthcare.

7. Consciousness and Karma: The Deeper Roots of Illness

The real cause of disease lies in our own personality.

Inner disharmony. Illness is often a symbolic reflection of internal emotional unrest, spiritual blockage, and dis-ease. Edward Bach correctly intuited that emotional factors and negative attitudes predispose individuals to illness, long before modern psychoneuroimmunology. Disease can manifest when there's disharmony between the physical personality and the Higher Self.

Chakras as karmic repositories. The chakras, as energy centers, store karmic energy charges from past lives. Unresolved emotional and spiritual issues from previous incarnations can manifest as subtle energy blockages in specific chakras, leading to physical illnesses or handicaps in the current lifetime.

  • Heart Chakra: Blockages related to self-love or love for others can lead to heart disease, lung issues, or immune suppression (affecting the thymus gland).
  • Solar Plexus Chakra: Linked to personal power and control, imbalances can cause digestive problems or diabetes.
  • Sacral Chakra: Associated with sexuality and sensual expression, dysfunction can lead to reproductive or intestinal issues.

Spiritual lessons. From a reincarnational perspective, illnesses serve as learning experiences, offering opportunities for soul growth and transformation. By understanding the deeper meaning behind their "dis-ease" and addressing underlying emotional and spiritual conflicts, individuals can achieve lasting healing.

8. Technology's Role: Unveiling the Invisible Realms of Healing

The ability to change the mechanistic viewpoint of present and future physicians will depend upon the development of instrumentation which can extend our physical senses to perceive the subtle energies of this invisible realm.

Bridging the gap. New Age technologies are emerging to validate subtle energy systems, bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science. These instruments extend human perception beyond the physical, making the invisible realms of energy visible and measurable.

Meridian diagnostics:

  • Motoyama AMI Machine: Measures electrical imbalances in paired acupuncture meridians, correlating with organ dysfunction.
  • Voll Machine (EAV): Measures electrical parameters of individual acupoints, diagnosing specific organ dysfunctions, sensitivities (e.g., to phenolics), and matching homeopathic remedies through resonance.
  • Radionics: Utilizes a "witness" (blood, hair) to remotely tune into a patient's energetic frequency, diagnosing illness and broadcasting healing frequencies. It relies on the operator's "radiesthetic" (psychic) sensitivity.

Future imaging. The potential for an "EMR Scanner" (Electromagnetic Resonance) is envisioned, combining CT and Kirlian principles to image the etheric body. This could detect illness at the etheric level before physical manifestation, enabling truly preventive medicine.

9. Stress and Wellness: A Holistic Perspective on Health

The state of "OK" is, in reality, often a state of neutrality. That is, "OK" is defined as a state of "no symptoms" This is the goal of traditional medicine-to get the patient to a state of no symptoms or to a state of no identifiable problems.

Beyond symptom relief. Traditional medicine often aims for a "neutral" state—absence of symptoms. Holistic medicine, however, defines "wellness" as an optimal integration of body, mind, and spirit, encompassing happiness, purpose, and continuous growth. This requires addressing subtle, often unrecognized, stressors.

Multifaceted stress. Stress extends beyond psychological factors to include:

  • Nutritional: Deficiencies (vitamins, trace elements like gold) and sensitivities (food phenolics).
  • Environmental: Chemical pollutants (aluminum, mercury, petrochemicals), electromagnetic radiation (ELF fields, microwaves).
  • Geopathic: Abnormal Earth energy fields that can disrupt the body's energetic polarity and hinder healing.
  • Psychic: Negative thought energies from others, or "divine discontent" from inner spiritual urging.

Vibrational solutions. Vibrational medicine offers tools to identify and neutralize these subtle stressors. By rebalancing the human bioenergetic system through therapies like flower essences, homeopathy, and crystal healing, it aims to restore vitality and immune competence, preventing illness before it fully manifests.

10. Ancient Wisdom, Future Medicine: Reintegrating Science and Spirituality

The basic principles of holistic and natural healing, as well as vibrational medicine, are actually thousands of centuries old, dating back to the times of Atlantis and Lemuria.

Cyclic knowledge. Humanity is experiencing a resurgence of ancient spiritual wisdom, particularly concerning healing. Legends of Atlantis and Lemuria describe advanced civilizations that understood subtle energies, consciousness, and crystalline technologies for healing and daily life. This knowledge, once suppressed, is now resurfacing as modern science catches up.

Spiritual science. The integration of science and religion is crucial for a unified understanding of the universe. Ancient cultures gained insights through meditation and inner exploration, while modern science uses empirical methods. Both paths are converging on the realization that all matter is conscious energy, and that humans are spiritual beings.

Evolutionary imperative. The current global discord reflects humanity's collective emotional and spiritual imbalances. Vibrational medicine, by addressing these deeper causes of "dis-ease," offers a path for personal and planetary transformation. It encourages self-responsibility, love, and forgiveness as fundamental to healing and spiritual evolution.

11. Suppressed Cures: The Hidden History of Energy Medicine

It appears that a possible cure for all types of cancer may exist in the form of specialized frequencies of electromagnetic energy.

Lost knowledge. The history of energy medicine includes instances where groundbreaking discoveries were suppressed by powerful orthodox institutions. Royal Rife, in the 1930s, developed a "Universal Microscope" and "Beam Ray" device that purportedly cured cancer and infections by destroying microorganisms with their specific "Mortal Oscillatory Rate" (MOR) frequencies. His work was allegedly suppressed by the AMA.

Pioneers of energy. Other researchers like George Lakhovsky (multiwave oscillator), Antoine Priore (electromagnetic fields), and Wilhelm Reich (orgone accumulator) also claimed success in treating cancer with energy devices, often facing similar opposition. Gaston Naessens, with his somatid theory and 714-X treatment, continued this lineage, proposing a pleomorphic microbial etiology for disease linked to immune system destabilization.

Bioenergetic theory. These suppressed theories often point to a bioenergetic basis for illness: external stresses (radiation, chemicals) and internal imbalances (nutrition, emotions) devitalize the organism, leading to immune impairment and disease. The pleomorphic microbe theory suggests that harmless internal organisms can turn pathogenic under these conditions.

Resurrection of Rife. Despite suppression, remnants of Rife's technology and similar devices are being researched today, often clandestinely. The potential for non-toxic, highly effective cures for diseases like cancer and AIDS, based on specific electromagnetic frequencies, remains a compelling, yet largely unexplored, frontier in vibrational medicine.
