The Pre-Class on Energy Agriculture at the 04 Acres Conference drew over 50 people from around the world, which was a larger than expected crowd for a first time class of that type. Although the class covered many aspects of energy concepts in agriculture, one of the ideas expressed by four of the five speakers was the importance of “human intentionality” in dealing with your individual farm. As developer and chair of the class, I was concerned with the impact this would have on participants, since the concept is fraught with potential conflicts of the “world views” of those hearing the new ideas and concepts. My presentation at the main conference also had the potential to create similar conflicts. The participants in both took it all in stride, so I feel it is time to introduce the concept to the Acres audience at large.
Human intentionality is the secular term for what most people around the world would call prayer or incantation. It is the expressing through thoughts and/or words (verbal or written) what one desires to have occur in the present or future and is directed at a presumed source of “higher power” within the concept of their particular belief system. This immediately brings “religion” to mind, but it is not my intention to discuss religion, nor is it appropriate or necessary. What will be discussed is quantum physics, research on prayer/intentionality and practical uses in agriculture. To save a lot of time and confusion, I will take the liberty of creating the term P/I [Prayer or Intentionality] to mean the concept of a human attempt to make their desires known within a spiritual context and to have a response occur.
Let’s start with the science of quantum physics. The majority of the world’s population is still dealing with Newtonian physics, the science that deals with large objects that can usually be seen, sensed, smelled, touched, etc., either directly or with instruments like telescopes or microscopes. The basis of Newtonian physics goes to the 16-17th centuries, also known as the “Age of Reason”. It held sway until Einstein and others began to express different views.
Once we get down into the subatomic world, the Newtonian concepts no longer apply, and we can no longer rely only on our senses. We have to resort to mathematics and sophisticated detectors to glimpse the affects of those particles or waves which we can’t observe directly. It is here, in the sub-atomic world, that we encounter the strange concepts that begin to explain some of the things we observe in our Newtonian world.
In agriculture or your personal life, you might have encountered or observed radionics [subtle energy devices], homeopathy [a government recognized modality for treating diseases or conditions in humans or animals], dowsing [the ability to detect unseen things such as underground water while at the site or by maps thousands of miles away], kinesiology [the use of a living organism to indicate to the tester how substances or energy patterns will affect it], remote viewing [the ability to see and describe a site that you have never visited], or P/I [the ability to ask for and receive desired outcomes]. All of these phenomena are real, most have been researched and proven by the rules of Newtonian science, some are still being fought/questioned by the uniformed, but all are being used everyday around the world to accomplish “good” or useful ends.
The following are all recognized quantum physics facts, observations or current theories based on mathematical proofs awaiting verification:
FREQUENCIES: Everything in the universe is ultimately expressed by frequencies. Frequencies are expressed as waves. All waves are capable of carrying immense amounts of information which may seem like code to us. However, the code is easily read by our most abundant non-living matter, water, whether it is in its natural state or encased in living cells. [See The Hidden Message in Water, Masaru Emoto, 2004,] This provides the basis for the integrity of multi-cellular organisms such as humans, livestock, plants, microorganisms, etc. and allows each cell to be able to communicate with all other cells in the body. It is the basis for plants to perform photosynthesis and humans to manufacture vitamin D in the presence of sunlight. It also explains the precise movements of groups of living creatures like fish and birds that seem to be connected by unseen strings that enable them to move in unison without collision.
DUALITY: At the quantum level, the waves have a dual nature. They can appear as waves or particles and exist more as a probability than an exact location. When humans attempt to observe/measure them, our conscious attempts allow them to make a decision as to what state they will be in for our observation. In other words, humans have the ability to influence their reality on a moment by moment basis. Keep this in mind for the later discussion of how P/I can operate on your farm.
CONECTIVENESS: Once any two waves or particles have been in close proximity, they are connected to each other even if they end up on opposite sides of our galaxy or our universe. At the quantum level, this “truth’ forced one our most brilliant conceptual physics minds, Stephan Hawkings, to pay up on a friendly bet concerning “black holes”, those powerful energy sources in space. His position was: once matter had been sucked into a black hole, the information as to what happen to said matter was lost. However, “conectiveness” allows for the information concerning the sucked in matter to be transmitted to another particle that remained outside the black hole and therefore was discernable. Hawkings conceded his position and paid the bet. On a human level, many twins exhibit this phenomenon through out their lives. One of a set may feel or experience something happening to the other in real time, even though the twins are on opposite sides of the world. [Scalar waves have no time and distance limitations.] Human and animal connections happen all the time with livestock or especially with pets where the bond is extremely tight.
ENERGY: A second line of understanding has to do with nature of where the energy comes from to run the universe. Most of us would think of a vacuum as being totally empty once we had removed all gaseous or solids particles from the space in question. However, it appears that there are inconceivable amounts of energy in “empty” space. {There is enough energy in a cubic meter of “empty” space to boil all the oceans of the world!} There are constant disturbances in the empty space which constantly produces positive and negative particles, which may quickly rejoin or annihilate each other or form a basic particle of hydrogen, which is one proton encircled by one electron. This and other forms of energy will have to be harnessed and used by humans in the future in order to get us out beyond our solar system and ultimately beyond our galaxy.
THE ZERO POINT FIELD: The current name for the source of these perturbations or disturbances is called the Zero Point Field [ZPF]. This is the “mother of all fields” and the source of the scalar waves that are referred to in Radionics. It may also be the field where some of our memories are stored. Current thinking is that it is difficult to account for human ability to store and recall memory within the brain or body and we may be taping into the ZPF for many of our memories of the past. This can also provide a mechanism for those individuals who can see or dowse at a distance or even see past or future events. The “future” events can only be explained if one recognizes the Zero Point Field as being the record or memory of all past and future events. This is a very different and profound world view than most of us are able to grasp or accept.
DIMENSIONS: In order for all quantum physics to function or to make sense, we must accept the presence of more than the usual dimensions of space [3] and time [1]. The current thinking is that there are at least 7 more dimensions wrapped and hidden in our observable spatial dimensions.
Please keep in mind that these findings and theories come from scientists like Carey Reams, William Tiller, Deepak Chopra, Rupert Sheldrake, Fritz Albert Popp, etc. who recognize the spiritual nature of the Universe and the inter-connectiveness of all living things. Many suffered ridicule and worse at the hands of their contemporaries or superiors in bio-physics or other sciences in order to bring us their findings and later achieved the acclaim they deserved.
With just that barest of introduction to the difficult concepts of quantum physics, lets move right into P/I and its use on our farms. P/I fits perfectly with quantum physics, but there is still the question of Newtonian proofs. Although I assumed scientific research on P/I was fairly recent, a book entitled A Journey Into Prayer by Bill Sweet reveals that Bruce and John Klingbeil, a father and son team, began as early as 1969 and went “full time” into P/I research in 1975. As would be expected, they suffered financially, socially, spiritually and psychologically in their endeavors. They thought they were alone on their quest to bring Science and Religion/Spirituality together and were unaware of the previously mentioned bio-physicists or the prayer researcher, Larry Dossey.
One could write a whole book or books on the subject of P/I as Dossey did, but the important issue is what was “proven” or what worked. There is the good news and the bad news as I frequently say in conversation about P/I. The good news is that P/I works and the only news that might be considered “bad” by some is the fact that it works for all people of faith, knowledge or belief, regardless of the religious or non-religious context of their belief system. The conscious decision to ask for or seek benefit on behalf or someone or something else is enough to trigger quantum effects. Probability becomes a decision by the universe or the divine and desired results can manifest.
The other significant finding is in regards to the nature of the P/I. One might reason that a direct or goal-directed request for specific things to happen would be the most efficient type of P/I as opposed to a general request for “order”, “good”, or “divine will” to be manifested. However, both the original findings of the Klingbeils and Dossey indicate that non-goal directed P/I is the most affective. As an example, if one were offering P/I for the benefit of a human with an illness, your P/I is more effective if you ask that the outcome fit into the larger scheme of things. Using a Western Tradition, that might include words such as “Thy will be done”. That does not mean you cannot also make specific requests, but your P/I should always recognize a universal order or source or divinity for maximum effectiveness.
How can one make use of P/I for the betterment of your agricultural endeavor? Biblical admonitions suggest praying without ceasing. This could be translated into a broader term for “being conscious of your directed thoughts”, or think positively. In the everyday life of a grower or any human not in a monastery, that is a difficult thing to do at all times. Usually, P/I is practiced on a daily basis at a specific time(s) or on a Sabbath. Another common practice is to paste, staple or “magnetize” a cherished P/I somewhere in the house or barn. Research would suggest that the maximum effect would result if you personally wrote a P/I concerning your unique property. The P/I could include all aspects of your operation, such as soils, crops, wildlife, livestock, residents, workers and visitors and your wishes for their benefit as well as the appeal for a higher order as mentioned previously.
In working with the Towers/Broadcasters invented by Hugh Lovel, the author has found the most affective P/I written statements include temporal [time] and spatial [space] boundaries in which your P/I is to be effective. Otherwise, the energy/power contained within your P/I is diluted out to the universe instead of being active on your property. There is also the question of your right to “broadcast” any energy patterns that would accompany your P/I to your neighbors property The time limitations are usually expressed as “as long as is appropriate”. This avoids “infinity” which, as they say, “would be a very long time”.
The effectiveness of the P/I’s in broadcasters of any type is anecdotal, which means “it happened”, but there was not a control to see if cause and effect were connected. Personally, there is little doubt in my mind. In two instances, one in Australia and one in the US, the effects on people were almost instantaneous. In the Australian case, a grower had a hired hand and his family on a large grazing property. The Friday night I arrived to place the Broadcaster on the property, I was introduced to the hired man and I personally invited him to join in the activities the following day. He had just finished a lengthy shearing period, so it would be understandable that he might want the weekend off. However, he assured me that he would be around. In conservation with the owners, it was revealed that both the owner and the hired man probably had been thinking about changing the situation and that the change was long overdue.
Come Saturday morning, the hired man and his family were no where to be seen. The Broadcaster was installed on Saturday afternoon with the appropriate P/I asking for the good or benefit for all concerned. I left on Sunday for another property a few hours away. Monday evening, we received word that the hired man and his family returned on Monday, packed up and left. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
The US incident involved a 10 year long employee that I knew personally from long term contact with the property. At the installation visit, it was revealed by the owner that they were considering making changes, but as is human nature, they hesitated for a variety of reasons. Within an hour of installation, the “feel” of the main residence to a friend sensitive to subtle energy totally changed. Within a few days, the employee in question was gone, and new employees appeared that were well suited to the situation.
Your ability and methods of using P/I are only limited by your belief and your imagination. Quantum physics gives you a sound scientific basis, research in P/I clearly establishes its benefits and results, and your world view provides the context in which you will frame your requests. What are you waiting for?
