Life & Living Systems

 What issues do you feel need discussed now that we can “create bioartificial organs” and “implant chips” in people?

Since science can now create bioartifical organs and implants in people, there are some serious ethical and even physical concerns to be discussed.  There is a substantial body of evidence to conclude that R.F.I.D. chips- which are surgically placed under the skin- are a way to track people wherever they are in the globe and perhaps that they are even a form of mind-control. Do we really need the government to be surgically inserting things in our skin and to know where we are at any given moment? The “convenience” of these chips are stressed as a way to store medical records when one goes to the doctor- but the chips actually have to be surgically removed before an M.R.I. can happen or else it is very dangerous to a person’s health. How “convenient” is that? Bio-artificial organs are a mixed bag in terms of health benefits versus detriment. While they could potentially save lives, the concern is that the host body might recognize the organ as an invading foreign body and the host’s immune system may fight the organ.

Based on what you know, how would you explain the term “Biosphere”?

The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It is also the global ecological system which integrates all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. Starting with a process of biogenesis or biopoesis, the biosphere is estimated to have evolved at least 3.5 billion years ago. In a broader sense; biospheres are any closed, self-regulating systems containing ecosystems.

What is your assessment of the value of Biophysics to Chinese Medicine?

Biophysics is a useful science which gives us measurements of the effects of acupuncture needles placed strategically in the body. Without data taken on physical effects of needles, we have nothing but faith or “the wisdom of the sages” on which to rely, which is not satisfactory to the Western mind. Although acupuncture as a physical and energy medicine transcends certain limitations of Biophysics which has no way of measuring the Vital Energies or emotions in any quantifiable way (with the exception of Kirlian photography which gives visual evidence of emotions that is still unquantifiable),  Biophysics is nevertheless a valuable tool with which to measure the physical effects of needles on the body.

Energy and Energy Medicine

What evidence is there for acupuncture being effective energy medicine?

“Vital Energies” is the term used to describe the energies of living bodies which are not capable of being measured by physical instruments nor fall under the umbrella of the Science of Physics. How could one possibly measure the energy re-organization or energy release of a good cry after Lung points have been needled (the Lungs being the organ connected to grief?) Emotion is energy is motion, but science has no way to measure emotions accept for their effect on the physical body. The intimate connection between the organs and non-physical states such as emotions show the deeply subtle and energetic basis of acupuncture. In contrast, allopathic medicine only deals with physical ailment in a way that doesn’t address the underlying cause of disease, which is often negative emotion. Also, the fact that an acupuncturist can needle a remote meridian point on the body that is somehow connected to an organ five feet away from the point is indicative of an energetic connection between that point and the organ.

What is the importance of Kirlian photography?

Kirlian photography is useful because it is able to give a visual representation of human emotions and energies in the body in a way that most standard instruments of measurement cannot. Such information is visually depicted by various degrees and variations of brightness, color, and patterns of light. This visual information can be interpreted through intuition and the knowledge of healers who can interpret the meaning of different aura colors. In fact, it is said by supporters of Kirlian photography that it photographs the aura or the etheric body, which gives evidence for non-physical energy and a spiritual or energetic dimension of animate objects that defies strict physical laws. For example, if part of a leaf is chopped off, the etheric body of the leaf still shows up on camera. This shows that there is an energy body associated with animate objects that has a distinct identity separate from the physical body. This evidence seems to point to a non-physical energy body of all animate objects- including humans- that survives after death. Kirlian photography also proved to be useful in visually revealing the 700 points on the human body associated with Chinese medicine which showed up brightest in photographing the human body.

Why might human intent effect health?

In Quantum Physics, we learned that the expectation of the experimenter determined the outcome of whether light showed up as a particle or a wave. We also saw that the experimenter’s thoughts affected the nature of reality down to a sub-atomic level. If human thoughts can affect and change reality on a sub-atomic level- and EVERYTHING is made of sub-atomic particles- including our bodies- it only makes sense that human intent and thought would affect the health of our bodies.
