Great Read: Energy Medicine and the Multidimensional Model

This article from IONS does a great job starting off with an explanation of physical reality that communicates an understanding so many don't have but should.


According to Einstein’s famous formula, E=MC2, energy and matter are interchangeable. Matter can be converted into energy, and energy into matter. Indeed, when physicists looked deeply into matter to find what we are made of, they discovered that matter is not solid but consists of subatomic particles comprised of mostly empty space. In turn, when they looked into the “empty space,” physicists determined that it was not so empty after all, that it is teaming with energy, effervescing, a quantum froth. This energy is at the core of everything in existence.

One does not have to stretch far to see the parallels between this underlying energy-essence that connects everything and the notion of unifying oneness that weaves its way through many spiritual traditions. One of the places where science and spirituality intersect comfortably is in the emerging field of energy medicine. Here ancient methods find their home in modern practitioners’ offices and in research laboratories.

The question then arises: If everything is energy, what constitutes the legitimate domain of energy medicine? In attempting to answer this question, I found a useful model that is shared by modern science and many ancient traditions. It accounts for the diversity in the field of energy medicine and helps to explain a vast array of energy-based phenomena. This theoretical model holds that a human being consists of multiple layers, or dimensions, that coexist simultaneously. Although individual models based on this principle differ slightly in terms of the number of layers and their labels, there is general agreement about four main dimensions: the physical-etheric, the emotional, the mental, and the spiritual. According to the ancients, the soul is encased in these successive layers.

The Ultimate Truth

You must stop seeing God as separate from you, and you as separate from each other.

The only solution is the Ultimate Truth: nothing exists in the universe that is separate from anything else. Everything is intrinsically connected, irrevocably interdependent, interactive, interwoven into the fabric of all of life.

All government, all politics, must be based on this truth. All laws must be rooted in it.

This is the future hope of your race; the only hope for your planet.

My new spirit blog

I've been bloggin for a while now.  I have different blogs for different things.  There's the band blog, an obvious "must have" for any modern musical act.  There's the political blog, my personal soap box for ranting about worldly things.  I even have an associated news feed where I collect important news items, hoping people will learn stuff they didn't already know. 

But something's missing.  The foundation.  The foundation for the world, the cosmos, for everything.  The foundation is spirit.

So this will be my spirit blog.  I have ideas and discoveries I want to discuss, but it seems inappropriate to do so in my other blogs, given the audience.  If you're here, chances are it's because spirit led you to me.  Chances are you already share many of my spiritual views.  If so, my hope is that you'll interact with this blog and contribute.  I envision this blog being less of a collection of posts - and more of a conversation.

Talk to me, my sisters.  Share with me, my brothers.  Grow with me, teach me, imagine with me, create with me.

Namaste.
