In fact he has yet to find any Qi effects that are not simply explained. Also after undergoing 5 years of accounted by a highly trained and very experienced Chinese acupuncturist, and having discussed Qi at length with her, the idea of Qi is simply 'breath' which is just a simple model for complex things going on in the body.

He traveled to the Phillipines once to find out a secret technique was something like a high-low-low combination instead of a high-low-high combination -- not much of a shocker there. He's met a lot of people that claimed to know the mystical death touch, although they haven't killed anyone with it. And he's met a lot of people that have claimed chi powers, but it didn't help them do a pullup, didn't put anything special behind a punch that body mechanics doesn't put into it, etc. He hasn't given up on it yet. -- "Let us learn to dream, gentlemen, then perhaps we shall find the truth...

The following is one such experiment. I'll continue my comments
further below after sharing it (it's from Glen Rein Quantum Biology) HEALING EXPERIMENTS WITH LEONARD LASKOW A). Experimental Protocol B). Healing States of Consciousness C). Experimental Results on Tumor Cells D). The Role of Thought, Image and Intent E). Experimental Results with Water F). Magnetic Field Emission from Laskow's Hands G). Modulating Laskow's Magnetic Field with non-Hertzian Energy " A). Experimental Protocol Based on these studies, it was of interest to explore the role of the consciousness in the holoenergetic healing process and to correlate different mental content (imagery, intent and thought) with biological effects in tissue culture. In order to help verify the hypothesis that the effects are target specific, a third biological endpoint was chosen. The growth of tumor cells in culture was chosen because it could be monitored quantitatively using state of the art biochemical techniques and was highly relev ant clinically. The protocol involved measuring DNA synthesis by quantitating ifs incorporation of radioactive thymidine. The rate of cell proliferation was then determined relative to the total number of cells which were counted in a hemocytometer. Leonard Laskow shifted into a specific state of consciousness and mentally and energetically focused on three petri dishes held in the palm of his hand. Another aliquot of cells from the same stock bottle was being held simultaneo usly by a non-healer in an adjac ent room. The non-healer was reading a book to minimize the interaction of his consciousness on the cells. Both sets of petri dishes (n=6) were brought back to the tissue culture hood where they were labelled (blindly) and scrambled. The author then labelled the cells with radioactive thymidine and processed them after 24 hrs growth to measuring cell proliferation. The same exact protocol was also followed in another parallel set of experiments done with distilled water contained in a plastic lid-seal ed tes t tube, instead of cells in a petd dish. This water, as well as control water, was then used to make statard tissue culture medium which was then added to the cells at the beginning of the 24 hr. growth period. B). Healing States of Consciousness Laskow explored five different mental intentions some of which are an integral part of the holoenergetic healing process. He describes an overall loving state that was maintained throughout all the experiments, which allowed him to be in resonance with the tumour cells. The technique for attaining this nonordinary state is a form of meditation which allows intentional focusing and cohering of energy. Laskow refers to these intentions as different contents of consciousness. He distinguishes the intentions as : 1) returning to the natural order and harmony of the cell's normal rate of growth, 2) circulating the microcosmic orbit, 3) letting God's will flow through these hands, 4) unconditional love and 5) dematerialization. Laskow describes the psychoenergetic state of consciousness as follows: I shifted to a 'transpersonal healing state' of consciousness by using a balancing breath which balanced and cohered both hemispheres of my brain followed by aligning, centering, and energizing techniques. These processes produce, for me, a loving state which allowed my mind to come into resonance with the tumor cells as 1 focused on them. While in this transpersonal loving state I varied the content of my consciousness to specifically evaluate the differential influence of changes in mental content on tumor cell growth. We evaluated five different intentions while I was holding petri dishes containing tumor cells in my hands for each of the mental intentions". "We were interested in varying what 1 was intending in my mind for these tumor cells. The first intent was the focused instruction that the tumor cells return to the natural order and harmony of their normal cell line. By normal I meant that the cells should grow at a\0 normal rate, rather than their present accelerated tumor cell rate. Another intention was let God's will flow through my hands, so (in this case) there wasn't a specific direction given. Unconditional love was giving no direction at all. When I do healing work, 1 shift into an unconditionally loving transpersonal state. While in that general loving state, superimposed unconditional loving intent without giving specific direction to the energy". "I had two forms of dematerialization, one was dematerialized into the light and the other one was dematerialized into the void. I wanted to see whether there was a 'reluctance' on the part of the cells to go into the unknown. Or is it better to give them a direction into the light. Obviously, this has import for people who are doing healing work in terms of giving direction to tumor cells and energy forms that you want to release. Is it easier to release them giving them a direction or releasing them into their potential, but without the light. C). Experimental Results on Tumor Cells The results indicate that the different contents of consciousness could be distinguished in terms of their biological responses. Of the different intentions studied, only three showed a significant effect on inhibiting the growth of the tumor cells. The most effective intention we tried with tumor cell cultures was returned to the natural order and harmony of the normal cell line" (39% inhibition). Allowing God's will to manifest appeared to be only half as effective (21 % inhibition). Under the same experi mental conditions, unconditional love neither stimulated or inhibited cell growth. Its effect was neutral and seemingly accepting of the present condition. These results have important implications for healers. The results suggest that certain healing states and contents of consciousness are more effective than others. As mentioned above, however, we do not know to what extent these effects are target specific. It is possible that other intentions would have been effective if other biological endpoints were chosen. For example, treating the tissue culture medium with microcosmic orbit (41 % inhibition) was equally as effective as treating it with returning the the natural order, although the two focuses of conscio usness were significantly different when treating the tumor cells directly. Alternatively, the content and states of consciousness that were effective in this experiment for Laskow, may not have been optimal for another healer treating the same tumor cells. Thus the results may be healer specific. These questions, however, are amenable to study using cultured cells in the protocol followed in this study. Future studies will in fact compare different sta tes of consciousness with different biological experime nts, albeit with one healer, Leonard Laskow. D).The Role of Thought, Image and Intent In these experiments we were interested in further defining the specific contents of consciousness in order to determine the relative role of non-focused thought and image as distinct from intention. These experiments were done by changing the thought and image content of a given state of consciousness and determining what the corresponding effect on the growth of the tumor cells would be. The results indicated that different biological effects could be observed by just changing the intent or the imagery as sociated with the healing process but nonfocused thought had no effect. Thus, while Laskow was in the microcosmic orbit state of consciousness, the mental image of visualizing only three cells remaining in the petri dish after the experiment caused an 18% inhibition of cell growth. On the other hand, switching the mental image to one where many more cells were visualized in the dish resulted in an increased growth of tumor cells (15%). The results are remarkable since not only could a different biological r esponse be observed by changing the mental image, but an actual reversal of the biological process of cell growth was achieved. We were then interested in determining to what extent intention, as a focused mental thought, might contribute to the healing response. This was achieved by Laskow intending and instructing the cells to "return to their normal order and rate of growth", while holding no visual image, thus separating intent from imagery. This experiment can be directly compared with the previous one, since the microcosmic orbit state of consciousness was maintained throughout and the previous experiment involved no conscious ly focused intent. We found that focused intent for the cells to return to the natural order of their normal growth rate produced the same inhibitory biological response (20% inhibition) as did imagery alone. When we included the intention for the cells to return to the natural order of the normal cell line together with the imagery of reduced growth, the inhibitory effect was doubled to 40%. These results suggest that imagery and intent each contributed equally in inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in culture. E). Experimental Results with Water Since previous studies indicated that healers could influence the physical/chemical properties of water (Dean, 1975) and that this energetically charged water could then influence biological systems (Grad, 1965), we were interested in confirming these experiments using the above protocol. Specifically, we wanted to determine whether there were differences in the energetic patterns associated with different states and contents of consciousness and whether these patterns could be transferred to water. If the energetic patterns could be detected in water using absorption spectroscopy, it might indicate that specific spectral patterns are associated with different states and contents of consciousness. The rational for this hypothesis is based on the reported ability of healers to change the spectral patterns of water (Schwartz, 199 1). Preliminary experiments with Laskow, indicated he could non-specifically alter the Raman spetra of water charged holoenergetically (Gough). In our approach to this question, we st udied whether changing the content of consciousness, while in a nonordinary state, could be used to alter tumor cell growth when tissue culture medium was treated psychoenergetically. The results indicated that water was in fact capable of storing and transferring the information associated with different contents of consciousness to the tumor cells. Thus water treated with the intention to return the cells to their natural order and harmony resulted in a 28% inhibition of cell growth, quite similar to that obtained when the cells were treated directly. Even more surprising, however, was the fact that two other focuses which were ineffective when the cells were treated directly, were eff ective when the water was treated. Thus unconditional love caused a 21% inhibition of growth and dematerialization caused a 27% inhibition. These results suggest that the efficacy of different focuses of consciousness depends on the target being healed. The data also suggest that water may be a more universal target. It is possible that pure water is more capable of picking up certain types of energy and information than cells. It other situations, with differe nt environmental energy influences present, wat er may not store or release information. The practical application of this observation is that healers can give their clients water o drink which had been previously charged with their healing energy. This may also be the basis for blessing food and wine. In conclusion, the summary of the biological experiments presented in this article indicate that 1) non-Hertzian fields can in fact have marked effects directly on biological systems, independent of the belief system of the individual (cinquirer note: the term "non-Hertzian was acquired from Tesla to refer to unconvensional energy as Rein explained earlier), 2) water is a key mediator in this response and 3) the nature of this interaction is quantitatively and qualitatively different from that occuring with conventional EM fields. If EM fields are just derivates of non-Hertzian fields and the latter can interact with matter at the nuclear level (rather than the electron shell), non-Hertzian fields have the potential to effect biological systems at a very profound level indeed and should constitute a key role in energy medicine of the future. F). Magnetic Field Emission from Laskow's Hands The previous results indicate that quantum information which is associated with specific intentions and images can manifest in our 4-D reality as patterns. In these studies, the patterns manifested as different brain wave spectra during the healing state (Cade, 1979; Tart, 1969) and spectrographic changes in water (Schwartz, 199 1) which had been charged psychoenergetically. To further study the correlation between these energetic patterns and the different states and contents of consciousness associated wi th holoenergetic healing, temporal patterns of the magnetic fields emitted from Laskow's hands during holoenergetic healing were measured. The magnetic fields were measured using a flux-gate magnetometer sensitive from D.C. to 500 Hz. Laskow cuped his hand over the probe but did not touch it. The chart recordings begin on the right and end on the left side of the tracing. Non-healers were unable to influence magnetometer readings. Touchin or moving the probe gave characteristic, sharp patterns which were readily distinguishable from energetic patterns. An initial and critical part of the holoenergetic healing process is opening the crown chakra. The magnetic field pattern generated when Laskow opened his crown chakra was recorded. It appeared distinctly different from other patterns obtained in that it had a very sharp onset, an equally sharp dissipation and only lasted eight seconds. This result implies that the event was short-lived and caused a shift in the magnetic field pattern only during its duration. The return to normal baseline was characteristi c of patterns produced by other states of consciousness when Laskow consciously chose to shift into another state or end the particular experiment. It is interesting to note that in some tracings the energetic pattern shifts down, implying a decrease in the magnetic field strength in the environment around Laskow's hands. This unusual response could be due to the generation of a non-Hertzian field from Laskow's hands which cancels a part the background magnetic field causing its diminution. Since we had observed that only certain contents of consciousness resulted in magnetic field patterns which were different from an ordinary state of mind. it was of interest to compare the patterns from two states which gave different biological responses measured as an inhibition of tumor cell growth. We therefore compared the magnetic pattern obtained when Laskow was in an unconditional loving state and in the return to natural order state. The results indicates that indeed these magnetic patterns were di fferent from each other. Compared to the robust effect with the natural order state, the unconditional loving state produced a weak, non-specific pattern. The important point however is that there is a correlation between the magnetic patterns and the biological effects produced by these states of consciousness, since the unconditional love state did produce a biological response. This may be due to the lack of a specific image or intention (critical contents of consci ousness demonstrated above) associated with the unconditional love state which could be thought of as a universal carrier of subtle energetic information. The carrier by itself, without modulation, does not appear to influence the tumor cells, almost as if they were in unconditional acceptance of the situation. In general these patterns were obtained most consistently when Laskow was allowed to generate the different states and contents of consciousness spontaneosly, rather than being told a given sequence. One of the most interesting spontaneous magnetic field patterns was obtained when Laskow inwardly asked that Spirit flow through him. He asked Spirit to demonstrate its presence to science with a characteristic signature pattern. The tracing obtained gave a uniquely different pattern from the other patterns obt ained and was characterized by sharp, frequent peaks in the negative direction. G). Modulating Laskow's Magnetic Field with non-Hertzian Energy Since it is not possible at this point to measure the subtle energy emited from the body during psychoenergetic healing, it is difficult to test the hypothesis that this energy is non-Hertzian in nature. Since the magnetic field en-dssion pattern seems to be a measurable manifestation of psychoenergetic healing, we postulated that non-Hertzian fields might modulate the magnetic patterns. This is a novel experimental approach which has not been previously tested. We used the scalar shielding device (discusse d above) to test our hypothesis. The shielding device was placed in Laskow's energy field during one experimental sesssion. The tracing obtained indicates that prior to addition of the device, the magnetic pattern was repetitive containing numerous sharp, small positive peaks. Upon addition of the shielding device, the magnetic field pattern was substantially altered. The new pattern was qualitatively similar in shape but gradually increased in overall magnitude. T hese results suggest that non-Hertzian quan tum fields enhanced the magnetic field emitted from Laskow's hands during holoenergetic healing. ------------------------ (end quote) Back to cinquirer... Note: There are plenty of experiments done elsewhere. I'll look for them (esp. the double blind). I didn't collect them because my focus is to understand the physics of Qi and not to convince people. But I'll look for them and post today or tomorrow. Note also that some healers don't even know how it works. They don't know how to focus color Qi and their combinations for different effects. The scientists are equally mystified, they thought only the healers can do it. If scientists would learn to emit the Qi themselves and especially the different vibrations. They can affect their own specimen. In the Philippines, I can say our Pranic Institute is the pioneer in sharing incredible minute detail of how the Qi emission must be done, etc. Healing gurus from India have to come all the way here to learn the technical details. A challenge. If anyone has a good test equipment that can detect for micro changes in test specimen. I or my friend (the one who did the experiment with the japanese water expert) can emit the Qi to any part on the planet, United States or Russia or Middle East. The reason we can emit the Qi to any part of the planet is because Qi is some kinda of field that travel in information space and our intent couple with the Qi energy is what can alter the function of the test specimen. This is done in other countries but I'm not fully aware of the experiments because I don't travel abroad, only those full time Qi healers. I'm a businessman and just want to understand the physics of Qi. Once I understood. I'll forget the whole Qi thing fully aware in the background of my mind what they are and I'll focus full time on stem cell research (which has the best business potential in the coming genetic revolution). I'll answer each of your other inquiries later including Conforto's stuff, etc. c Bjoern Feuerbacher wrote in message ... cinquirer, it would be nice if you would answer some question simply instead of responding to every post with a long sermon, in which you basically say always exactly the same things you've said already 20 times before... You quoted my whole post below, so I marked all the places where you didn't answer a question with a simple "Hello?", and add some further comments. Care to answer these questions now? |

"Double Blind Method" was used in at least one of the Qi experiments. It is mentioned on Page 391, the second paragraph - "A double blind method was adopted for the experiment....." Best Qi, Yuan cinquirer wrote: Mark, Tadchem, Bjoern, I don't know how to explain Qi in physics.. as its physics is not yet discovered. It's like explaining blood in the 16th century. People know it existed but only 20th century science can explain it. Likewise with Qi. Only 22th century physics may explain it (although many scientists have tried. And I'm seeking alternative theories and especially want to understand how you can fit it all in the Standard Model or enhanced one. Now what is Qi. Well. I have discussed this at length in the newsgroup alt.sci.physics.new.theories spanning over months where every theory by different scientists are put forward (such as Glen Rein, Dr. Hunt, Barbara Brennan, and dozens of others). See what they say by searching "cinquirer" in http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...s.new-theories Let's just focus on the experiments here. Know someone who can setup the proper instrument with utmost sensitivity that can test reaction time in enzyme activities, cells, etc. even water molecules. You can change their parameters by simply emitting Qi to it from your hands. Dr. Tiller has done this and his experiments can be repeated by others and I'm awaiting details of it in his book. See www.tiller.org The organization Subtle Energy Research has also many scientists working on it. see http://www.issseem.org/journal.html I'm still awaiting their full materials and so one can get more references and facts by going directly to those organization. There are also many references elsewhere and I'd search for them again as I've lost track of them (but I will look for them again including double blind studies (this can increase exponentially if scientists would only be open minded but unfortunately majority don't even consider its possibility making any tests so how can they confirm it is not real with even any test).. I deal with Qi extensively. This is because I live in the same country as the founder of Pranic (Qi) Healing which has branches in almost all countries and thousands of practioners including many doctors worldwide. I am categorical of the existence of Qi and its non_local effects from extensive hands on and I'd give $1 million dollar to anyone who can debunk it.. lol... ![]() The following is a manual we use in pranic or qi healing. In there is shared the different vibrations of Qi (corresponding to "colors" and how different cells, tissues and their states (such as disease, health) can give different vibrations and how we directly manipulate it. Tests have shown how they can affect cells and controlling its behaviors. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...oks&vi=reviews (read this editorial comments for some intro about the different vibrations of qi as someone inquired and a doctor experience on it, as well as thousands of others. Different books by different authors also document it. It just so happen I know the group very well) Right now. I want to focus in understanding the physics of Qi even if Superstrings or other theories (which may be connected to it) is not yet perfected. I just want to have a rough idea of what Qi is. Normally qi healers don't care what it is. So I can't discuss physics with them. So physicists who are open minded or even have experience with Qi are the best ones to discuss with to make sense of whether Qi is a fifth force or part of material not yet understood by science. I don't know if it interacts with individual atom or larger unit such as cell in a long range kind of interaction. Glen Rein and others are inquiring about this too (see his book Quantum Biology). That's why I research the stuff of Guliano Conforto in her book as I want to understand whether single atoms or bigger unit such as cells that make functioning part that involves consciousness is what interacted with Qi. To understand the physics of Qi. It is important to know first if they are just misunderstood ordinary phenomenon such as ATP cell fuel process, etc. But they are not. They seem to be connected to a subtle part of matter. If we would say, are they virtual particles. We may collide with the physicists definition of them that is already understood. So let me avoid any scientific linking and just use the generic term Qi. And not speculate whether they may be shadow symmetrical particles or anti/mirror particles, etc. as I did in the past few messages. They are just hypothesis of what Qi may be based on, and the truth may be altogether different and more complex than them. c Bjoern Feuerbacher wrote in message ... cinquirer wrote: (Below after the text are many references such as research web sites, experimental proofs, etc.).

Note Qi is not biology or physics but Bio-particle-physics that may even use substructure of the Superstrings and beyond. How do you know? Whatever Qi ultimately is. It is not a misunderstanding of ordinary phenomenon (as explained below). Let's say for now that each atom or cell of our body needs Qi (or Life Force that is as real as photons). Atom or cell? Why not something in between? And why should we say this? And what is "life force"? How can we measure it? Without Qi, our cells can't function optimally. It's as if the ATP cell fuel needs Qi in one of its reactions. Well, we understand the ATP reactions quite well, so I don't know where Qi would be needed there. Qi is not oxygen nor glucose but seems to be an extention or working part of matter itself. "seems to be"? Which experiments suggest this? It's as if the antiparticle of every particle of our body has a virtual energy state that can tell the integrity of the physical body or perhaps an anti-mirror energy particle? Sorry, I don't understand what you try to say here. One very vital application of Qi is in Qi therapy. When we have diseases like infections in our body, the Qi in the affected part has grosser vibration. What vibrates there? And how do you know that the Qi in the affected part has grosser vibration? This can affect the nearby cells How? And where is the evidence that this happens? and slow down the healing since the biochemical structure is intimately interactive with Qi. Evidence? So what we do is clean the dirty Qi and replace with fresh ones. How? The patient gets dramatic relief much faster than without Qi treatment because the biochemical reactions can be affected by Qi. Ever heard of the placebo effect? Ever done any double-blind tests? And this is enough to prevent amputations like in gangrene infections where the Qi treatment can make it subside very fast. This works in all infections too where Qi therapy can prevent fatal infections, etc. as well as accelerate the healing. Sounds like placebo effect to me: if the patients feels that he is cared for, and beliefs that the treatment helps, it *does* help. This is entirely ignored in the medical field Well, maybe because they are no double-blind studies which demonstrate its effectiveness? (if there are such studies, please point them out to me) and the next step in medicine breakthrough is to study this Qi interaction with the biochemical pathway and their balancing. Qi is non_local too. How do you know? It's as if the anti-mirror part of each particle is located in a higher spacetime where distance doesn't matter. New age gibberish. We can treat the qi of people even miles away. Evidence from double-blind studies for this, please. What we do is we tap into the information space What's this? and make intent to remove the diseased qi of the patient to faciliate faster healing and this altering in the information space is reflected in real time in the body of the patient. This does work only if the patient knows that you are "working" on his Qi, I bet. Parallel to the concept of qi is the Bioetheric body or what Dr. Tiller called Conjugate Body. The Bioetheric body (excuse the term as there is no exact term yet) is simply the energy extension (its anti mirror particle?) of the particles in our body. What does "energy extension" mean? And Qi is what powers it or maintain its organization and interconnected. How do you know? Does anyone knows of any atomic model that includes a constant interchange of virtual particles with the space. Exchange of particle with the space? Huh? What is this supposed to mean? Maybe Qi is the force carrier of the Higgs Field that relay the Higgs bosons to the particles?? Huh? What do you mean by "relaying" here? And why do you think that Qi has anything to do with Higgs bosons? Or something along that line? Any theory. First please present double-blind tests which show the existence of Qi. The following is an experiment where organization of water can be affected at a distance, even countries apart. One of the Qi emitter is someone I know so we can repeat the experiments if you have a sensitive measuring device or sorta. http://www.aiis.com.au/AIIS%20Subweb/news.htm The experiment described there doesn't sound double-blind to me, and isn't statistically significant (one trial only, apparently!). The following is the website of Dr. Tiller who has done extensive research and has setup experiments (reproducable) that can make you change the enzyme activies at will by simply using intent and/or qi coupling. His theory is a bit complicated and I'm seeking other alternative one from amongst you. http://tillerfoundation.com/science.html Are his experiments double-blind? I bet, no. The following are some general references about Qi and research centers. http://www.islandnet.com/~global/pranic.html http://www.issseem.org/journal.html Any double-blind studies there? Read again the China Qi experiment as we can produce the same changes in matter as done in other experiments. http://www.accessv.com/~yuan/yansci/...Qigong_JSE.pdf Quickly scanning the article, it seems that lots of high-tech equipment was used, but not one single double-blind test was done. If I am wrong on this, please correct me. Some worldwide directory where I corresponded with the thousands. http://www.pranichealing.org/directory/usa.htm http://www.pranichealing.org/links.htm Any double-blind studies there? Bye, Bjoern |

To discuss fully about Qi. We need to take into account another
equally strange idea, that of bioetheric body or bioplasmic body. What is a bioplasmic or bioetheric body?? It's related to Qi because it is the part of our body where it interacts with Qi. I've once asked whether the bioetheric body is just the mapping of the biological body ATP cell fuel process, etc. So I and other Qi healers investigate those with amputated legs. We found out that their missing legs bioetheric matter slowly dissipate and after a year, it is no longer there. Upon amputation, the bioetheric foot outline is still there, then it slowly disintegrate. With this observation, we can say that it is not the body cell fuel mapping, because with the absence of flesh, it is still connected to the entire bioetheric body like some kind of hologram. Now in my other investigations. I looked into inanimate matter with a group of seers. Inanimate matter doesn't have a bioetheric body but just some kind of energy. With living matter, the energy is so dynamic. As if Qi is related to consciousness... as if Qi is some kind of "conscious energy". When a person doesn't sleep for days, the bioetheric body can't absorb Qi. I guess the primary function of sleep is for the bioetheric body to re-structure its energy web. If consciousness or awareness or being alive constantly uses the bioetheric body, it can't re-structure itself and has difficulting absorbing Qi. This resulting in weaknesses in the body with decreased immune function so the main purpose of sleep may be related to this bioetheric and Qi thing. In the latest Scientific American Nov. Edition. It discusses at length about sleeping and it can't find the reason why we sleep even though it investigates so many facts, like our unconscious function or cellular function dependent on it. At the end, it is quoted as saying, "As we further study the mechanisms and evolution of sleep, we will probably gain insights into exactly what is repaired and rested, why these processes are best done in sleep". My answer is that of the above. Note this sleeping connection is only a theory I believe, and it may be wrong, and it no way remove the existence of the bioetheric body. So what is the bioetheric body. Maybe some kind of informational field that informs living system, and Qi being some kind of power that maintain the energy matrix of the information field?? What is the function of this information field. This was what I've asked myself. Does morphogenesis or the growth of the body shape of an embryo depend on genetic or cellular signaling or does it needs the field. Suppose it doesn't need the field, then the purpose of the bioetheric field is to conduct consciousness, so the mystery lies in what is consciousness. Is it merely the firing of neurons that create consciousness. In part, one can say yes. When you decrease some neurotransmitters, the person can get depressed, so it can act on consciousness, but does the entire brain creates consciousness itself. Or does conciousness or being biologically alive (be it rats or humans) depend on some kind of fields. This is the clue where the determination of what is the bioetheric body and its qi requirement lies. The investigation goes on. I'm also studying the real nature of matter (thru particle physics) like how does the bioetheric body get interfaced to the atoms of the body. c Mark Fergerson wrote in message ... cinquirer wrote: Mark, Tadchem, Bjoern, I don't know how to explain Qi in physics.. as its physics is not yet discovered.

That's how theories come to be. BTW I insist that you show rigorously how Qi is outside the Standard Model because you insist that "living matter" (which you haven't defined) shows Qi effects in a way the SM doesn't account for. So, show me the border. (Oh, and don't go directly to exotic supersymmetry stuff when I say "Standard Model"; first eliminate mundane mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and chemistry.) If you think the border will be fuzzy (that Qi can affect "dead" matter too), then you need to predict how fuzzy it is, and exactly where the overlap is, which will integrate your eventual theory of Qi and the SM. If you do find some unaccounted-for facts, at some point you'll need to construct a mathematical framework for your (proven) rules, and if some correlation is seen between that and the math underlying the SM, there's hope of incorporating both into a larger whole. But don't put your faith in math exclusively; the "beauty" of a mathematical structure is no clear indicator of its relationship to reality. Mark L. Fergerson |

To discuss fully about Qi. We need to take into account another equally strange idea, that of bioetheric body or bioplasmic body. What is a bioplasmic or bioetheric body?? It's related to Qi because it is the part of our body where it interacts with Qi. "Qi" and "bioplasmic/bioetheric body" are assumptions, not facts fit for discussion until their properties are described in reproducibly testable terms. By "reproducible", I mean by anyone, and no bushwa about how some people are better at it than others. Come up with some Minimum Phenomena anyone can observe about both. Science is not elitist. I've once asked whether the bioetheric body is just the mapping of the biological body ATP cell fuel process, etc. So I and other Qi healers investigate those with amputated legs. We found out that their missing legs bioetheric matter slowly dissipate and after a year, it is no longer there. Upon amputation, the bioetheric foot outline is still there, then it slowly disintegrate. With this observation, we can say that it is not the body cell fuel mapping, because with the absence of flesh, it is still connected to the entire bioetheric body like some kind of hologram. Yeah, yeah, Kirlian photography. Not reproducible as described above. Now in my other investigations. I looked into inanimate matter with a group of seers. Inanimate matter doesn't have a bioetheric body but just some kind of energy. With living matter, the energy is so dynamic. As if Qi is related to consciousness... as if Qi is some kind of "conscious energy". What is the dividing line between animate and inanimate? Is it at the atomic or molecular level or what? If the former, why aren't diamonds alive? If the latter, is a single molecule of sucrose alive? If elsewhere, why isn't a million-year-old fly in amber still alive? What is the "some kind of energy" possessed by inanimate matter and how does it relate to Qi? How is it perceivable by a "Qi sensitive" if it isn't Qi? What determines one's degree of sensitivity? unfounded speculation snipped I repeat: Until you positively eliminate known physics in explaining your observations, why should we (or you, for that matter) not believe you're merely fooling yourself?

I noticed that you *still* ignored most of my questions - but this time, you snipped them, so it isn't as obvious to everyone as the last time. Why do you do this? Are you interested in discussion, or do you only want to preach? Oh, I see that you promised to answer my questions later. We'll see... Nevertheless, I would have preferred it if you had *first* answered my question and *then* posted something about experiment - or even better, if you had waited with posting stuff about experiments until you had found a properly controlled study! cinquirer wrote: The following is one such experiment. I think by "one such" you mean a double-blind experiment? I'll continue my comments further below after sharing it (it's from Glen Rein Quantum Biology) HEALING EXPERIMENTS WITH LEONARD LASKOW A). Experimental Protocol B). Healing States of Consciousness C). Experimental Results on Tumor Cells D). The Role of Thought, Image and Intent E). Experimental Results with Water F). Magnetic Field Emission from Laskow's Hands G). Modulating Laskow's Magnetic Field with non-Hertzian Energy " A). Experimental Protocol Based on these studies, What studies? it was of interest to explore the role of the consciousness in the holoenergetic healing process and to correlate different mental content (imagery, intent and thought) with biological effects in tissue culture. In order to help verify the hypothesis that the effects are target specific, a third biological endpoint was chosen. What does this mean? The growth of tumor cells in culture was chosen because it could be monitored quantitatively using state of the art biochemical techniques and was highly relev ant clinically. The protocol involved measuring DNA synthesis by quantitating ifs incorporation of radioactive thymidine. The rate of cell proliferation was then determined relative to the total number of cells which were counted in a hemocytometer. Leonard Laskow shifted into a specific state of consciousness and mentally and energetically focused on three petri dishes held in the palm of his hand. Another aliquot of cells from the same stock bottle was being held simultaneo usly by a non-healer in an adjac ent room. The non-healer was reading a book to minimize the interaction of his consciousness on the cells. Both sets of petri dishes (n=6) were brought back to the tissue culture hood where they were labelled (blindly) and scrambled. The author then labelled the cells with radioactive thymidine and processed them after 24 hrs growth to measuring cell proliferation. The same exact protocol was also followed in another parallel set of experiments done with distilled water contained in a plastic lid-seal ed tes t tube, instead of cells in a petd dish. This water, as well as control water, was then used to make statard tissue culture medium which was then added to the cells at the beginning of the 24 hr. growth period. Interesting test - but not a double-blind one! B). Healing States of Consciousness Laskow explored five different mental intentions some of which are an integral part of the holoenergetic healing process. He describes an overall loving state that was maintained throughout all the experiments, which allowed him to be in resonance with the tumour cells. The technique for attaining this nonordinary state is a form of meditation which allows intentional focusing and cohering of energy. Laskow refers to these intentions as different contents of consciousness. He distinguishes the intentions as : 1) returning to the natural order and harmony of the cell's normal rate of growth, 2) circulating the microcosmic orbit, 3) letting God's will flow through these hands, 4) unconditional love and 5) dematerialization. Laskow describes the psychoenergetic state of consciousness as follows: I shifted to a 'transpersonal healing state' of consciousness by using a balancing breath which balanced and cohered both\0 hemispheres of my brain followed by aligning, centering, and energizing techniques. These processes produce, for me, a loving state which allowed my mind to come into resonance with the tumor cells as 1 focused on them. While in this transpersonal loving state I varied the content of my consciousness to specifically evaluate the differential influence of changes in mental content on tumor cell growth. We evaluated five different intentions while I was holding petri dishes containing tumor cells in my hands for each of the mental intentions". "We were interested in varying what 1 was intending in my mind for these tumor cells. The first intent was the focused instruction that the tumor cells return to the natural order and harmony of their normal cell line. By normal I meant that the cells should grow at a normal rate, rather than their present accelerated tumor cell rate. Another intention was let God's will flow through my hands, so (in this case) there wasn't a specific direction given. Unconditional love was giving no direction at all. When I do healing work, 1 shift into an unconditionally loving transpersonal state. While in that general loving state, superimposed unconditional loving intent without giving specific direction to the energy". "I had two forms of dematerialization, one was dematerialized into the light and the other one was dematerialized into the void. I wanted to see whether there was a 'reluctance' on the part of the cells to go into the unknown. Or is it better to give them a direction into the light. Obviously, this has import for people who are doing healing work in terms of giving direction to tumor cells and energy forms that you want to release. Is it easier to release them giving them a direction or releasing them into their potential, but without the light. Lots of blather, but still no double-blind test. C). Experimental Results on Tumor Cells The results indicate that the different contents of consciousness could be distinguished in terms of their biological responses. Of the different intentions studied, only three showed a significant effect on inhibiting the growth of the tumor cells. The most effective intention we tried with tumor cell cultures was returned to the natural order and harmony of the normal cell line" (39% inhibition). Allowing God's will to manifest appeared to be only half as effective (21 % inhibition). Under the same experi mental conditions, unconditional love neither stimulated or inhibited cell growth. Its effect was neutral and seemingly accepting of the present condition. These results have important implications for healers. The results suggest that certain healing states and contents of consciousness are more effective than others. As mentioned above, however, we do not know to what extent these effects are target specific. It is possible that other intentions would have been effective if other biological endpoints were chosen. For example, treating the tissue culture medium with microcosmic orbit (41 % inhibition) was equally as effective as treating it with returning the the natural order, although the two focuses of conscio usness were significantly different when treating the tumor cells directly. Alternatively, the content and states of consciousness that were effective in this experiment for Laskow, may not have been optimal for another healer treating the same tumor cells. Thus the results may be healer specific. These questions, however, are amenable to study using cultured cells in the protocol followed in this study. Future studies will in fact compare different sta tes of consciousness with different biological experime nts, albeit with one healer, Leonard Laskow. Same comment. D).The Role of Thought, Image and Intent In these experiments we were interested in further defining the specific contents of consciousness in order to determine the relative role of non-focused thought and image as distinct from intention. These experiments were done by changing the thought and image content of a given state of consciousness and determining what the corresponding effect on the growth of the tumor cells would be. The results indicated that different biological effects could be observed by just changing the intent or the imagery as sociated with the healing process but nonfocused thought had no effect. Thus, while Laskow was in the microcosmic orbit state of consciousness, the mental image of visualizing only three cells remaining in the petri dish after the experiment caused an 18% inhibition of cell growth. On the other hand, switching the mental image to one where many more cells were visualized in the dish resulted in an increased growth of tumor cells (15%). The results are remarkable since not only could a different biological r esponse be observed by changing the mental image, but an actual reversal of the biological process of cell growth was achieved. We were then interested in determining to what extent intention, as a focused mental thought, might contribute to the healing response. This was achieved by Laskow intending and instructing the cells to "return to their normal order and rate of growth", while holding no visual image, thus separating intent from imagery. This experiment can be directly compared with the previous one, since the microcosmic orbit state of consciousness was maintained throughout and the previous experiment involved no conscious ly focused intent. We found that focused intent for the cells to return to the natural order of their normal growth rate produced the same inhibitory biological response (20% inhibition) as did imagery alone. When we included the intention for the cells to return to the natural order of the normal cell line together with the imagery of reduced growth, the inhibitory effect was doubled to 40%. These results suggest that imagery and intent each contributed equally in inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in culture. Same comment. E). Experimental Results with Water Since previous studies indicated that healers could influence the physical/chemical properties of water (Dean, 1975) and that this energetically charged water could then influence biological systems (Grad, 1965), we were interested in confirming these experiments using the above protocol. Specifically, we wanted to determine whether there were differences in the energetic patterns associated with different states and contents of consciousness and whether these patterns could be transferred to water. If the energetic patterns could be detected in water using absorption spectroscopy, it might indicate that specific spectral patterns are associated with different states and contents of consciousness. The rational for this hypothesis is based on the reported ability of healers to change the spectral patterns of water (Schwartz, 1991). Is this the same Schwartz who is thoroughly bashed at James Randi's web site? Preliminary experiments with Laskow, indicated he could non-specifically alter the Raman spectra of water charged holoenergetically (Gough). In our approach to this question, we st udied whether changing the content of consciousness, while in a nonordinary state, could be used to alter tumor cell growth when tissue culture medium was treated psychoenergetically. The results indicated that water was in fact capable of storing and transferring the information associated with different contents of consciousness to the tumor cells. Thus water treated with the intention to return the cells to their natural order and harmony resulted in a 28% inhibitionof cell growth, quite similar to that obtained when the cells were treated directly. Even more surprising, however, was the fact that two other focuses which were ineffective when the cells were treated directly, were eff ective when the water was treated. Thus unconditional love caused a 21% inhibition of growth and dematerialization caused a 27% inhibition. These results suggest that the efficacy of different focuses of consciousness depends on the target being healed. The data also suggest that water may be a more universal target. It is possible that pure water is more capable of picking up certain types of energy and information than cells. It other situations, with differe nt environmental energy influences present, wat er may not store or release information. The practical application of this observation is that healers can give their clients water o drink which had been previously charged with their healing energy. This may also be the basis for blessing food and wine. Still nothing double-blind here. In conclusion, the summary of the biological experiments presented in this article indicate that 1) non-Hertzian fields can in fact have marked effects directly on biological systems, independent of the belief system of the individual (cinquirer note: the term "non-Hertzian was acquired from Tesla to refer to unconvensional energy as Rein explained earlier), 2) water is a key mediator in this response and 3) the nature of this interaction is quantitatively and qualitatively different from that occuring with conventional EM fields. If EM fields are just derivates of non-Hertzian fields and the latter can interact with matter at the nuclear level (rather than the electron shell), non-Hertzian fields have the potential to effect biological systems at a very profound level indeed and should constitute a key role in energy medicine of the future. Perhaps. Repeat the experiment properly controlled, using double-blind studies, and then we will talk again about this. F). Magnetic Field Emission from Laskow's Hands The previous results indicate that quantum information which is associated with specific intentions and images can manifest in our 4-D reality as patterns. In these studies, the patterns manifested as different brain wave spectra during the healing state (Cade, 1979; Tart, 1969) and spectrographic changes in water (Schwartz, 199 1) which had been charged psychoenergetically. To further study the correlation between these energetic patterns and the different states and contents of consciousness associated wi th holoenergetic healing, temporal patterns of the magnetic fields emitted from Laskow's hands during holoenergetic healing were measured. Magnetic fields aren't "emitted". This makes no sense. The magnetic fields were measured using a flux-gate magnetometer sensitive from D.C. to 500 Hz. Laskow cuped his hand over the probe but did not touch it. The chart recordings begin on the right and end on the left side of the tracing. Non-healers were unable to influence magnetometer readings. Touchin or moving the probe gave characteristic, sharp patterns which were readily distinguishable from energetic patterns. Still nothing double-blind here. An initial and critical part of the holoenergetic healing process is opening the crown chakra. The magnetic field pattern generated when Laskow opened his crown chakra was recorded. It appeared distinctly different from other patterns obtained in that it had a very sharp onset, an equally sharp dissipation and only lasted eight seconds. This result implies that the event was short-lived and caused a shift in the magnetic field pattern only during its duration. The return to normal baseline was characteristi c of patterns produced by other states of consciousness when Laskow consciously chose to shift into another state or end the particular experiment. It is interesting to note that in some tracings the energetic pattern shifts down, implying a decrease in the magnetic field strength in the environment around Laskow's hands. This unusual response could be due to the generation of a non-Hertzian field from Laskow's hands which cancels a part the background magnetic field causing its diminution. Since we had observed that only certain contents of consciousness resulted in magnetic field patterns which were different from an ordinary state of mind. it was of interest to compare the patterns from two states which gave different biological responses measured as an inhibition of tumor cell growth. We therefore compared the magnetic pattern obtained when Laskow was in an unconditional loving state and in the return to natural order state. The results indicates that indeed these magnetic patterns were di fferent from each other. Compared to the robust effect with the natural order state, the unconditional loving state produced a weak, non-specific pattern. The important point however is that there is a correlation between the magnetic patterns and the biological effects produced by these states of consciousness, since the unconditional love state did produce a biological response. This may be due to the lack of a specific image or intention (critical contents of consci ousness demonstrated above) associated with the unconditional love state which could be thought of as a universal carrier of subtle energetic information. The carrier by itself, without modulation, does not appear to influence the tumor cells, almost as if they were in unconditional acceptance of the situation. In general these patterns were obtained most consistently when Laskow was allowed to generate the different states and contents of consciousness spontaneosly, rather than being told a given sequence.
