# Exploring the Connection Between Electromagnetism and the Soul
Written on
Chapter 1: The Electric Soul
This essay was inspired by my dear friend, Doctor Bob, a retired psychiatrist residing in California. Our friendship, which began online, has blossomed through rich correspondence, where I've gained invaluable insights from him. He frequently shares thought-provoking literature, particularly esoteric and existential works penned by long-ago hippies. I can't help but dream of living in a commune of my own! Alongside these treasures, he sends me articles from medical journals, like one discussing the controversial theory that human consciousness may be linked to electromagnetic phenomena.
Understanding the Human Energy Field
Isn’t it fascinating? Just yesterday, I pondered the idea that electromagnetism might serve as an analogy for the soul, rather than being the soul itself. We possess a physical body, an electrical body, and perhaps even a soul body—and potentially a consciousness body as well. Doesn't consciousness require a point of reference for us to convey ideas effectively?
Have you ever reflected on your thoughts? Or contemplated the essence of consciousness? It appears we often shy away from discussions about consciousness. We might mention conscious and unconscious motivators, especially in a counseling setting, but we seldom recognize the underlying influences that shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Moreover, we rarely consider sentience, its implications, and its relationship with consciousness. Many of us instinctively converse with our pets, believing they comprehend us in some way. For instance, a dog trained to respond to commands in German may not react to commands in English, indicating that something beyond mere tone influences its behavior. The fact that very few researchers studying consciousness acknowledge Koko the gorilla as evidence of sentience beyond humans suggests that we often overlook the nature of our own thinking.
Is Consciousness Electrical?
Could the complex question of human consciousness find an answer in simple electromagnetic waves? One unconventional dualist scientist proposes that the human mind consists of both physical matter and an electromagnetic field. This notion raises significant questions and is certainly contentious.
I wonder, can one still adhere to dualism while asserting that the soul represents the electromagnetic facet of existence? For example, when you hold a lodestone, it possesses a magnetic field as an intrinsic property of its material composition. Similarly, the human body generates an electromagnetic field, which is also a characteristic of its physical structure.
However, electromagnetism alone does not serve as proof of the soul; rather, it indicates the presence of elements that elude our direct observation. Hypothetically, can a lodestone retain a memory? Consider audio tapes, which are capable of storing memories through magnetic material. What if rocks hold some form of memory within their magnetic fields? The human body contains iron that reacts to magnets, and we generate electric fields through electrochemical processes. Might these elements play a role in memory retention?
There are accounts of heart transplant recipients reporting memories from their donors. Could this phenomenon be attributed to the heart's electromagnetic characteristics? It produces the strongest field in the human body. Even if the heart's field is deactivated before transplantation, could it leave an imprint on the heart's structure? Is it even possible to completely remove all the blood from a heart? If you've ever eaten meat, you're consuming blood—did you know that's what gives steak its flavor?
Could Memory Be Embedded in Tissue?
According to Doctor Pearsall's book, "The Heart’s Code," all tissues might carry the memories of their donors, including during blood transfusions. Wouldn’t it be straightforward to investigate this further? Society donates a significant amount of blood! Imagine if we surveyed donors about their moods and tracked changes in the recipients' emotional states. While mood shifts may not directly indicate electromagnetic memory—considering blood also carries neurotransmitters—there could be intriguing insights to uncover. Additionally, if a donor were meditating on a positive mantra, might their blood offer greater health benefits compared to someone who was neutral or negative?
Johnjoe McFadden from the University of Surrey suggests that consciousness might be the brain's energy field. This perspective positions McFadden's dualism as a matter of energy and matter, rather than the traditional "body and mind" distinction.
Could this elucidate phenomena like remote viewing? If human consciousness is indeed electromagnetic, might it interact with the Earth's magnetic field? This could shed light on Carl Jung's idea of the collective unconscious. We all exist within Earth's magnetic field, fostering a wireless connection much like our phones connecting to 5G networks.
Newsflash: Your brain functions as a receiver/transmitter for the soul, rather than being the entirety of your existence. If a materialist argues against this, claiming, "I can poke your brain and turn you off," it's true that they can do so. But consider this: if you have a radio and cut some wires, it too will cease to function.
This article suggests an additional mechanism within a wireless-controlled system. Our bodies consist of mechanical components, chemical-electrical systems, hardware, software, static memory, and virtual memory. The notion that the brain acts as a transceiver for the soul is not novel. However, what is new is the development of DNA-sized antennas. I’m not fabricating this; allow my friend Aton to elaborate on this groundbreaking science!
If this holds true, it becomes less far-fetched to consider that your body and genetics serve as the means by which your soul communicates wirelessly with your cells. Cleve Backster conducted an experiment where he placed human tissue in a petri dish connected to a lie detector. When he poked the human subject, the tissue responded, irrespective of whether the person was in the lab or miles away.
Of course, cellular communication transcends mere physical proximity. A genuine scientist would take this information and investigate any time delays in signal responses relative to electromagnetic signaling. For example, radio signals from the moon take approximately three seconds to reach Earth. The next time we send an astronaut, we should place some of their cells in a petri dish and have another astronaut poke them. For science's sake! If the cells react instantly, it implies another medium is at play. If it takes about two seconds, we may be looking at an electromagnetic consciousness!
In Voodoo practices, practitioners take a sample of a person's hair to perform rituals. Could this serve as further evidence of wireless communication? You can send a signal, but if you possess an antenna, you can direct your transmission.
If consciousness operates electromagnetically, it might explain telepathy. Telepathy will not vanish just because some scientists dismiss it. Some researchers, like Dean Radin, affirm its reality. Many individuals are aware of its existence. Here lies a potential pathway.
Yet, even if electromagnetism plays a role, it does not account for everything. Remote viewer Ingo Swann occasionally performed psychic viewing from within a Faraday cage, a space shielded from electromagnetic fields. If electromagnetism were the sole factor, one would expect to find no signal inside the cage.
In conclusion, this article presents an engaging read. What are your thoughts on all of this?
