Smile, You are a
Human Energy System!

By Bob Belinoff

A biomechanics professor recently reported he had developed a rucksack that captures electricity from a walker’s bounce, generating as much as 7.4 watts with each step. Gears turn gears thrusting a wire coil in and out of a magnet - turning the common pedestrian into a human battery pack. The gizmo produces enough electricity to power an MP3 player, a palm pilot, night vision goggles, a cell phone and a bar code reader - for starters. There’s just no stopping the slog of science when there’s a potential market at the end of the march.

This human powered energy system may seem at first glance like a real accomplishment. But it pales rather quickly when one considers what can be accomplished without the gears and coils, through the mere application of the bio-spiritual powers each and every one of us was born with.

Consider this: The new understandings of the biology of the brain and cellular chemistry, presents life as a cooperative journey between our beliefs and the invisible meridians of energy that course through our bodies. These internal energies are in synch with the frequencies of the cosmos and the Earth under our feet. All minds are connected, prayer has been proven to work and spontaneous healings are not unexplainable anomalies; more and more all of these phenomena can be attributed to something in the mind, in the air or in our collective unconscious.

These sets of complex interactions between our minds, our bodies and our environment are the way we were meant to operate. Our cells come equipped with energy receptor “antennas” that function like tuning forks and can read irrational energy fields such as light, sound and radio frequencies.
Biological behavior can, in many cases, be controlled internally by invisible forces such as belief just as they can be controlled externally by the likes of Glaxo Smith Klein, the pharmaceutical powerhouse that spends $670 million dollars a year to influence our belief systems by marketing its various cholesterol reducers and serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Of course, medical technology companies are tuning into the power of harmonic frequencies, using everything from radio waves for shattering kidney stones, to prayer meetings in hospital wards. But since there is no profit in prayer, we are not likely to expect these kinds of programs to be marketed anytime soon on television the way Pfizer pushes Viagra.

Ancient civilizations, such as the Native Americans, Tibetans, Chineses, Indians and cultures from nearly every country on the planet have long relied on faith, belief, invisible energy channels and the immaterial world to heal—at no cost—the ills using methods that modern science is re-configuring and branding as some kind of medical advance.

Certainly there are currently wondrous advances in treatment, and few of us caught in an emergency room would want to be anywhere else when confronted with a sudden or violent trauma. But let us not mistake emergency management, or repairing the body, for true healing. Healing, according to the art of the ancients, involved not only physical repair but spiritual wholeness and a balance of the body’s complex energetic systems. The more we understand that ancient art of healing - its vocabulary, its elements, its invisible systems and the people who ply our hidden channels of healing energy - the healthier we can become, as a people and a planet.
