Diving on Energy & Matter, Psychosomatics,
Subtle bodies to understand Complementary therapies
by Safih Choat

“A critical level of confusion has saturated the contemporary world. Our faith and our spiritual components of life, in the vital reality of our consciousness of values and God, are being eroded under the relentless attack of scientific materialism. On the one hand, we welcome with open arms the benefits generated by a science that assumes a materialistic worldview. On the other hand, this prevailing view fails to correspond to our intuitions about the meaning of Life” - Amit Goswami – Physicist

Introduction:

Among the energy systems that nourish our body, the biochemical and neuroelectric energy systems are well established in the Western scientific circuit.

New energy systems such as bioelectronics (biologically based electronic systems) and biophotonics (based on light) are already being validated by scientists. However, our body also uses other energy systems that involve a specific flow of energy that is perhaps even more important than those mentioned above, such as subtle energy.

Our body is not only sensitive, but energetically balanced by it.

Matter is energy, and it vibrates. Thoughts and emotions also generate energy. Therefore, our thoughts and emotions affect matter, since they are energies.

Since Einstein proposed his famous equation E = mc² at the beginning of the 20th century, humanity has become aware that matter is one of the ways in which energy manifests itself. We can say that matter is "crystallized" energy, that is, organized and integrated in such a way that it acquires varying degrees of density and vibrations at certain frequencies. The lower the vibration frequency, the denser the matter and the more accustomed the five senses will be to dealing with it.

In this way, the so-called physical world (the world perceived by the five senses) is made up of dense matter (with a higher degree of density) and subtle matter (with a lower degree of density). When the vibration frequency is higher, the matter will be more subtle and it will be more difficult for the five senses to perceive.

Every living being is energy, and just as everything in nature is composed of energy, crystallized in a dense or subtle form. These two types of matter interact to form the unity of the Living Being.

Everything that exists and manifests itself on the physical plane, from a stone, a plant to animals and man, also has a manifestation of more subtle energy, which can be called the ENERGY BODY.

Subtle matter is characterized by being more expansive. In other words, it occupies a larger space and is identified around the body as a halo of light, which we will call SUBTLE BODIES and which permeate all dense matter. In other words, they "cohabit" in the same area, with the subtle matter expanding around the dense body.

Just like the physical body, the subtle bodies are complex and have their own function and "physiology". They are extremely important for the organization of living beings, whose constant exchange of dense and subtle energy with the environment around them occurs at every moment throughout the life of the being. Without them, there is no life. This is because the subtle bodies (or morphic bodies for Sheldrake) are closely linked to emotion, physical energy and the balance of the organs.

Energies or vibratory patterns external to the being can influence its pattern, producing both disharmony and conflict as well as healing, harmony and evolution.

Thought and emotions act as vehicles for transforming energy. When energy is processed, it has qualities, and thought and emotions are the greatest forces that direct the processing of this energy. An emotion is capable of opening the being to the external environment, facilitating the energy exchange, or, on the contrary, closing it, that is, it is capable of making the energy of the being more positive or negative, giving the living organism more or less dense characteristics.

According to the most recent scientific research, animals are sentient beings and this applies to all vertebrate animals (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish).

Like humans, animals also have minds and these minds are just as complex, differing from human minds only in the degree of complexity, in the same way that the mind of a child is less complex than the mind of a human adult, and does not differ in gender or type of mind (in the same way that, despite the differences in complexity, the mind of a human adult is not of a different type from the mind of a human child – it is just more complex). “There is no fundamental difference between human beings and higher animals in terms of mental faculties. The difference between the mind of a human being and that of a higher animal is certainly in degree and not in kind” – Charles Darwin

Sentience is the capacity that a being has to consciously feel something, such as pain, fear, pleasure, joy and stress, longing, etc., that is, to have conscious perceptions of what happens to it and what surrounds it.

Therefore, regardless of the degree of intelligence that an animal possesses, we can conclude from the laws of physics that these sensations, such as pain or agony, or emotions, such as fear or anxiety, subjective states close to human thought, generate energy and therefore compose the same subtle field as we saw above, leading to the same consequences of its influence on the harmonization of the organism.

Nowadays, it is much more common to have access to psychological and emotional illnesses that are also emerging in veterinary medicine. Depressive states can alter behaviors, change attitudes and predispose to diseases. Anxiety can cause diarrhea, apathy, self-mutilation and aggression, opening the door to treatment for other diseases.

Furthermore, in this close relationship between domestic animals and their owners, both establish a certain unity, where the owner and the animal constitute a complex energy field, based on the sum of the energy fields of each one, considering that thoughts and emotions are and create energies as we saw above. For their existence and balance, one pole depends on the other. If we subtract the first, the second will disappear or reorganize itself. In other words, behind each polarity, there is a unity, which, once in disorder, affects the other polarity, thus affecting the relationship between them, that is, the unity itself, where the weakest opens the door to imbalance, giving rise to many symptoms and illnesses, in an attempt to teach both parties, since we understood above that symptoms are an attempt at communication.

The basis of illnesses is an internal imbalance, resulting from the disharmony of energies, caused by feelings that lead to suffering, by the objective inability to deal with them, opening the door to their attack.

From there, physiological dysfunctions arise, since the homeostasis of the living organism is directly influenced by nerve impulses and the consequent circulation of various hormones that are released according to the quality of their interaction with the environment.

When a process is established at a physical level, it is because the conflict has already spread from the nervous level to the cellular level, through the etheric-physical synapses, lowering immunity and culminating in a condition that results in physical illness, dysfunction of the affected organs, pain, etc.

Let's take an example:

A car has several indicator lights that only come on when there is some serious malfunction in the vehicle's operation. If, during a journey, one of these indicators were to come on, it would be contrary to our intentions. Because of the signal, we feel obliged to stop the journey.

As much as we might be bothered to, we understand that it would be a waste of time to get angry with the little light; after all, it is warning us of the occurrence of a disturbance that we would never discover quickly enough, as it is located in some hidden and "inaccessible" corner.

We therefore interpret the warning given to us as a recommendation to call a mechanic who can fix whatever is necessary to turn off the light so that we can continue our journey. However, we would be outraged, and rightly so, if, in order to achieve this, the mechanic simply removed the bulb.

It is obvious that the indicator would stop flashing - and that is exactly what we wanted; however, the procedure used to achieve this would be too simplistic. It would be more correct to eliminate the cause that caused the light to come on, rather than remove the bulb. To do this, however, it would be necessary to look away from the light and focus on deeper areas in order to find out what is not working. The light was simply trying to warn us and make us wonder what was wrong.

The symptom, in the subject we are addressing now, is nothing more than the indicator light in the example we have just given. What manifests itself in the body in the form of a symptom is the visible expression of an invisible process that seeks to interrupt our usual routine through this signal, to warn us that there is an anomaly and to force us to report what it might be.

In this case too, it would be foolish to get angry with the signal, and no less absurd to try to suppress it, thus preventing its manifestation. What we need to eliminate is not the symptom, but the cause. Therefore, if we want to discover what the symptom is signaling to us, we will have to look away from the symptom and look further.

However, modern medicine seems incapable of taking such a step, and therein lies its problem: it allows itself to be dazzled by symptoms. For this reason, it equates symptoms with illness, that is, it is incapable of separating form from content. This is why it does not spare technical resources to treat organs and parts of the body, while at the same time underestimating the Being who falls ill.

In short, illness is a state that indicates that the Being is no longer in order or harmony at the level of its consciousness. This loss of internal balance manifests itself at the level of the body in the form of a symptom.

From this perspective, the symptom is a signal that carries information, since through its appearance it interrupts the rhythm of our life and forces us to become dependent on it.

The symptom signals to us that, as Beings endowed with a soul, we are ill, that is, we have lost the balance of the forces of the soul. It informs us that something is missing, it indicates a defect, a flaw. Consciousness has realized that in order to remain healthy, there is something we are lacking. This deficiency manifests itself in the body as a symptom.

When we understand the difference between illness and symptom, we stop considering the symptom as the great enemy whose destruction should be our priority objective, and instead see it as an ally that can help us find what we are lacking in order to overcome the illness.

At that point, the symptom will be like the Master who helps us to be attentive to our development and knowledge, a severe Master who will be hard on us if we refuse to learn the most important lesson. Illness knows no other purpose than to help us repair our “deficiencies” and become healthy.

The symptom tells us what we are lacking in order to understand it. However, to do so, we need to relearn the language of symptoms.

As we have seen, as humans, we know very little about using our brains, let alone studying and understanding others? In other words, much of it is still little explored by us. The media, culture, conventional dogmas and paradigms usually guide us on how to think, act, accept and conceive of ourselves...

In addition, within these little explored potentialities of our brain there are those that are mythologized as something supernatural, aimed at religious purposes, as in the case of extrasensory perceptions and insights, many proven by quantum physics as Rupert Sheldrake did in his theory of the Extended Mind.

If we use and know our brain little, and therefore understand that we still have a limited capacity to think, knowing little about ourselves, increasing this knowledge about ourselves and everything that surrounds us involves having to demystify a series of concepts imposed on us by society, whether motivated by control or lack of deep knowledge about life. And, to accept them, we must prepare our internal territory.

Before this, disagreeing with what we do not know would be to demonstrate as a “negative” quality an arrogantly pretentious attitude (which would actually be ignorance) regardless of the scope of the issue.

On the other hand, as if in order for us to see the light, there must be shadow, there are people dedicated to understanding these little-discussed mysteries, in a gradually successful attempt to open a door in our cerebral window, or symbolically our soul, so that we can grow and understand much more about the universe and ourselves.

This was the case with Edward Bach and his flower remedies, Hannemann and homeopathy, Mikao Usui and reiki, traditional Chinese medicine and its Taoist principles, Rupert Sheldrake, Amit Goswami, Fitjof Capra, Vivaldi, Mozart, Bethoveen, with his music with cathartic properties for the soul, and many others...

Everything that we mentalize, imagine or feel, humans and animals, in their proportions, takes shape in a subtle dimension of existence, causing action and movement, vibrations or waves in the atmosphere, and can materialize, projecting, altering the environment, somatizing, attracting a type of matter to itself and/or creating conflicts within itself, and even communicating telepathically, all according to the process described above by the laws of physics.

The difficulty in accepting holistic therapies and quantum physics is intrinsically linked to self-blindness.

Taking refuge in the arms of habitual casualty to search for a cure for diseases,

we'll just investigate their aspects or the result will be based in just a side of a prism."

Given the facts, let's began to understand the benefits of some vibrational therapies, such as Chromotherapy and Bach Flowers, in humans and other kingdoms such as animals, birds and plants and how to use them for better harmony.
