In the 1920s, the physics moved into the strange and unexpected reality of the subatomic world. Experiments involving nature returned paradoxical answers. Physicists now accept that paradox is part of the sub atomic world upon which our physical reality exists.
Our old world of solid objects and deterministic laws of nature has dissolved into wave-like patterns of interconnections. The whole universe appears as a dynamic web of inseparable energy patterns. The universe is thus defined as a dynamic inseparable whole which includes the observer in an essential way. (p 25)
She argues that if the universe is in fact such a web, there is no such thing as a part. We are not separated parts of the a whole, We are a whole.
The ordinary model of the body consisting of systems (ie the digestive or cardiovascular) is insufficient. Dr Valorie Hunt argues that the body needs to be ‘viewed from a quantum concept of energy stemming from the atomic cellular nature of the functioning body, which cuts across all tissue and systems’.
Dr Khalsa (p20) argues to have any true workable knowledge of this [molecular] healing force, we must go beyond the physical, into the ethereal.”
These emerging concepts parallel the theories and practices of some ancient medical practices. For example everything is connected in TCM, hence it supports the interconnectedness of the body, Spirt and Soul. Everything we hear, feel, touch and detect is reflection of the underlying Qi. For health, the qi needs to be abundant, clear and flowing smoothly. Traumas and other life experiences can affect one’s spirit and soul, which in turn affects the quality and characteristics of the Qi. That is, the expression of Qi (through emotions, health and relationships) affects the underlying nature of Qi.
Some researchers believe the ethereal body can bring healing power to the physical body and the physical body can bring healing power to the ethereal body. Dr Khalsa argues that this view introduces artificial distinctions. We are all one, in body, mind and spirit.
