The
law of resonance
If an object vibrates at a certain rate
of vibration,
everything in its vicinity that has the same
vibration as a dormant possibility will start vibrating at that
frequency.
This law applies to everything, from subatomic
particles to cosmic proportion
Examples:
If you start a big tuning
fork on a wood base in one end of a room, and have a similar tuned
big tuning fork on a wooden base (amplifier) somewhere else in the
room, the tuning fork that you did not touch will start by itself,
sparked into reaction by the first tuning fork.
A bus stops at an
intersection, everything that previously were relatively still starts
vibrating inside, the lower tone of the motor had the frequency of
the bus’ interior.
A huge bridge collapsed during a storm in America some years ago - the reason, the wind had the same frequency as the bridge, had the wind been stronger, nothing would have happened.
In
terms of human receptivity, this means that if somebody harbour a
quality or problem that we to some degree harbour ourselves, we will
resonate with the person, and knowledge of ourselves will thus help
us knowing something about the other person.
Morphic Resonance
LAWS OF NATURE, OR JUST HABITS?
[…] I am going to discuss
the concept of collective memory as a background for understanding
Jung’s
concept of the
collective unconscious
(taught later in this course). the
collective unconscious
only makes sense in the context of some notion of collective memory.
This then takes us into a very wide-ranging examination of the nature
and principle of memory-not just in human beings and not just in the
animal kingdom; not even just in the realm of life-but in the
universe as a whole. Such an encompassing perspective is part of a
very profound paradigm shift that is taking place in science: the
shift from the mechanistic to an evolutionary and wholistic world
view.
[…] The alternative is that the universe is more like an
organism than a machine. […]. With this organic alternative, it
might make sense to think of the laws of nature as more like habits;
perhaps the laws of nature are habits of the universe, and perhaps
the universe has an in-built memory.

Morphic Resonance: How does form arise?
The
hypothesis of formative causation, which is the basis of my own work,
starts from the problem of biological form. Within biology, there has
been a long-standing discussion of how to understand the way embryos
and organisms develop. How do plants grow from seeds? How do embryos
develop from fertilized eggs? This is a problem for biologists; it’s
not really a problem for embryos and trees, which just do it!
However, biologists find it difficult to find a Causal
explanation for form.
[…] How did structures appear that
weren’t there before?
[…] The question of biological
development, of morphogenesis, is actually quite open and is the
subject of much debate within biology itself.
An alternative to
the mechanist/reductionist approach, which has been around since the
1920s, is the idea of morphogenetic (form-shaping) fields. In this
model, growing organisms are shaped by fields which are both within
and around them, fields which contain, as it were, the form of the
organism. […].
Edited from Rupert Sheldrake article on the internet: http://www.sheldrake.org/
Morphic
Resonance and
the
collective unconscious
The
field’s structure has a cumulative memory, based on what has happened
to the species in the past.
[…] Each species has its own fields,
and within each organism there are fields within fields. Within each
of us is the field of the whole body; fields for arms and legs and
fields for kidneys and livers; within are fields for the different
tissues inside these organs, and then fields for the cells, and
fields for the sub-cellular structures, and fields for the molecules,
and so on. There is a whole series of fields within fields. The
essence of the hypothesis I am proposing is that these fields, which
are already accepted quite widely within biology, have a kind of
in-built memory derived from previous forms of a similar kind. The
liver field is shaped by the forms of previous livers and the oak
tree field by the forms and organization of previous oak trees.
Through the fields, by a process called Morphic
Resonance, the
influence of like upon like, there is a connection among similar
fields. That means that the field’s structure has a cumulative
memory, based on what has happened to the species in the past. This
idea applies not only to living organisms but also to protein
molecules, crystals, even to atoms.

Morphic
Resonance and the
collective unconscious
It
is not necessary to assume that memories are stored inside the
brain.
When we consider memory, this hypothesis leads to a very
different approach from the traditional one. The key concept of
Morphic
Resonance is that
similar things influence similar things across both space and time.
The amount of influence depends on the degree of similarity. Most
organisms are more similar to themselves in the past than they are to
any other organism. I am more like me five minutes ago than I am like
any of you; all of us are more like ourselves in the past than like
anyone else. The same is true of any organism. This self-resonance
with past states of the same organism in the realm of form helps to
stabilize the morphogenetic fields, to stabilize the form of the
organism, even though the chemical constituents in the cells are
turning over and changing. Habitual patterns of behaviour are also
tuned into by the self-resonance process. […]. If this hypothesis
is correct, it is not necessary to assume that memories are stored
inside the brain.

The Mitchell-Hedges Skull
King of the Crystal Skulls the
most widely celebrated and mysterious crystal skull is the
Mitchell-Hedges
Skull, for at least
two good reasons. First, it is very similar in form to an actual
human skull, even featuring a fitted removable jawbone[…]. Second,
it is impossible to say how the Mitchell-Hedges
Skull was constructed.
From a technical standpoint, it appears to be an impossible object
which today’s most talented sculptors and engineers would be unable
to duplicate. […]
The Mitchell-Hedges
Skull is made of clear
quartz crystal, and both cranium and mandible are believed to have
come from the same solid block. It weighs 11.7 pounds and is about
five inches high, five inches wide, and seven inches long. Except for
slight anomalies in the temples and cheekbones, it is a virtually
anatomically correct replica of a human skull […].
"The
Mitchell-Hedges family loaned the skull to Hewlett-Packard
Laboratories for extensive study in 1970. Art restorer Frank Dorland
oversaw the testing at the Santa Clara, California, computer
equipment manufacturer, a leading facility for crystal research. The
HP examinations yielded some startling results. Researchers found
that the skull had been carved against the natural axis of the
crystal. Modern crystal sculptors always take into account the axis,
or orientation of the crystal’s molecular symmetry, because if they
carve "against the grain," the piece is bound to shatter —
even with the use of lasers and other high-tech cutting methods. To
compound the strangeness, HP could find no microscopic scratches on
the crystal which would indicate it had been carved with metal
instruments. Dorland’s best hypothesis for the skull’s construction
is that it was roughly hewn out with diamonds, and then the detail
work was meticulously done with a gentle solution of silicon sand and
water. The exhausting job — assuming it could possibly be done in
this way — would have required man-hours adding up to 300 years to
complete. Under these circumstances, experts believe that
successfully crafting a shape as complex as the Mitchell-Hedges
Skull is impossible;
as one HP researcher is said to have remarked, "The damned thing
simply shouldn’t be."

Morphic
Resonance,
Collective Unconscious and the archetypes
The formation of
archetypes
Jung
thought of the
collective unconscious
as a collective memory, the collective memory of humanity. He thought
that people would be more tuned into members of their own family and
race and social and cultural group, but that nevertheless there would
be a background resonance from all humanity: a pooled or averaged
experience of basic things that all people experience (e.g., maternal
behaviour and various social patterns and structures of experience
and thought). It would not be a memory from particular persons in the
past so much as an average of the basic forms of memory structures;
these are the archetypes. Jung’s
notion of the
collective unconscious
makes extremely good sense in the context of the general approach
that I am putting forward.
Morphic
Resonance theory would
lead to a radical reaffirmation of Jung’s
concept of the
collective unconscious.

Morphic
Resonance and the
collective unconscious
Inheritance
of acquired characteristics
[Jung’s
concept of the
collective unconscious]
needs reaffirmation because the current mechanistic context of
conventional biology, medicine, and psychology denies that there can
be any such thing as the
collective unconscious;
the concept of a collective memory of a race or species has been
excluded as even a theoretical possibility. You cannot have any
inheritance of acquired characteristics according to conventional
theory; you can only have an inheritance of genetic mutations.
Under
the premises of conventional biology, there would be no way that the
experiences and myths of, for example, African tribes, would have any
influence on the dreams of someone in Switzerland of non-African
descent, which is the sort of thing Jung
thought did happen. That is quite impossible from the conventional
point of view, which is why most biologists and others within
mainstream science do not take the idea of the
collective unconscious
seriously. It is considered a flaky, fringe idea that may have some
poetic value as a kind of metaphor, but has no relevance to proper
science because it is a completely untenable concept from the point
of view of normal biology.

Morphic Resonance and the collective unconscious
THE MYSTERY OF Mind
The approach I am putting forward is very similar to Jung’s idea of the collective unconscious. The main difference is that Jung’s idea was applied primarily to human experience and human collective memory. What I am suggesting is that a very similar principle operates throughout the entire universe, not just in human beings. If the kind of radical paradigm shift I am talking about goes on within biology-if the hypothesis of Morphic Resonance is even approximately correct-then Jung’s idea of the collective unconscious would become a mainstream idea: Morphogenic fields and the concept of the collective unconscious would completely change the context of modern psychology

A Resonance with the cosmos was experienced in human speech.
When
there was still an instinctive understanding of these things, in the
time of atavistic clairvoyance, clairaudience, and so on when
speaking, Man felt himself within the cosmos. When the child learned
to speak it was felt how what was experienced in the divine spiritual
world before birth, or before conception, gradually evolved out of
the being of the child.
It may be said that if Man could look
through himself inwardly he would have to admit: I am an etheric
body, in other words, I am the echo of cosmic vowels; I am a physical
body, in other words, the echo of cosmic consonants.
Because I
stand here on earth, there sounds through my being an echo of all
that is said by the signs of the Zodiac; and the life of this echo is
my physical body. An echo is formed of all that is said by the
planetary spheres and this echo is my etheric body.
1.Physical
body = Echo (or resonance) of the Zodiac
2.Etheric body = Echo (or
resonance) of the planetary movements
3.Astral body = Experience
of the planetary movements
4.Ego* = Perception of the echo of the
Zodiac
* (In Steiner’s terminology the Ego is very high,
something like the Self in Jung’s
terminology)
Rudolf
Steiner: …The Alphabet… p. 8 - 9
(Lecture from December 18.
1921)
The universe as a whole is in an ongoing cosmic energy-dance.
The research of the subatomic world in the 20th century has laid bare the inherent dynamic structure in matter. It has shown, that the components making up the atom , the subatomic particles, is dynamic patterns, they do not exist as isolated unities, but only as integrated parts of a insoluble net of interactions. These interactions includes a constant stream of energy, manifesting as a exchange of particles, a dynamic interchange where particle is created and dies in a constant changing energy-pattern. The interchange between the particles results in the stable structures, that the material world consists of, even though they are not static, but constantly vibrating in rhythmical movements. The universe as a whole is part of perpetual movement and activity in an ongoing cosmic energy-dance.

they surround him as the fish is surrounded by water, and he contains

Australian Water lily
Flower
Remedies are not new. The Australian Aboriginals have always used
flowers to heal the emotions as did the Ancient Egyptians. They were
also very popular in the middle Ages. Paracelsus in the 15th Century
wrote about how he collected dew from flowering plants, diluted it
and used the liquid to treat imbalances.
This healing method was
rediscovered by Dr. Edward Bach sixty years ago through the use of
English flowering plants. Today our society and its needs are totally
different to that of sixty years ago. There has been a great need for
remedies that would help people deal with the issues of the nineties
- sexuality, communication skills and spirituality to name but a few.
The answer to this need has come from the Australian plants,
developed and researched by among others naturopath, Ian White.
Edited from the Australian bush flower essence http://www.ausflowers.com.au/intro.html
Australian bush flower essence
Australia
has the world’s oldest and highest number of flowering plants which
have both beauty and strength. Also Australia is relatively
unpolluted and metaphysically has a very wise, old energy.
The
Bush Remedies not only help to give clarity to one’s life but also
the courage, strength and commitment to follow and pursue one’s goals
and dreams. They help to develop a higher level of intuition, self
esteem, spirituality, creativity and fun. The more the Essences are
used, the more one is likely to experience greater awareness and
happiness in one’s life. Then everyone benefits….the individual,
society and the planet.
The effect of these Essences is
similar to that of meditation in that they enable the person to
access the wisdom of their Higher Self. This releases negative
beliefs held in the subconscious mind
and allows the positive virtues of the Higher Self - love, joy,
faith, courage etc. to flood their being. When this happens the
negative beliefs and thoughts are dissolved and balance is restored.
ADMINISTERING THE REMEDIES
The majority of the remedies
should be used for a maximum of two weeks at a time. If at the end of
that period it appears that the remedy has not totally resolved the
problem, take a week’s break, then repeat or use a different Essence
to address the issue, if necessary.
DOSAGE
Seven (7) drops
(from dosage bottle) taken morning and night (on rising and
retiring). Take for ten to fourteen days unless otherwise specified.
This dosage is most effective and easy to remember.

The
Healing System
http://www.saisanjeevini.org/
The Sai Sanjeevini Healing System is made up of:
The
Sanjeevini Healing Cards: There are over 200 different Sanjeevini
healing cards. They are divided into two major categories. Body Part
Sanjeevinis (of which there are approximately 50), and Disease
Sanjeevinis (of which there are approximately 142). These numbers are
approximations because new cards are created periodically.
The
Sanjeevini Multiplication and Broadcasting Card used for distance
healing, and the reproduction/duplication of existing remedies. Once
a remedy is prepared for a particular ailment, it can be easily
multiplied for refills by using the Multiplication & Broadcasting
Card without having to go back to the Sanjeevini Cards. Individual
and group distance healing is done with it.
The Sanjeevini
Neutralization Card which is used for neutralizing already prepared
Sanjeevinis. This allows you to start with a clean slate by erasing
the energies from an existing remedy.
All you need is a glass of
water and a desire to be well.
The Sanathana Sai Sanjeevinis are
patterns which represent highly focused prayers to God, to heal
various diseases and body parts. The Sanjeevinis are subtle
(spiritual) vibrations of all of Mother Nature’s own healing forces.
These vibrations have been "harnessed" through highly
focused prayers on to cards as patterns.
Sanathana is a Sanskrit
word meaning "valid for all time" or "timeless"
Sai means "Divine Mother"- that Shakthi, that Cosmic
Power, that God Power, which is the Knower of All, the Moving Force
behind All, and the Doer of All in this Creation.
Sanjeevini
signifies eternal health at the physical level and symbolises the
Eternal Knowledge of Liberation (Immortality) at the spiritual level.
The Sanathana Sai Sanjeevini Healing images are therefore focused
prayers to the Divine Mother, in total surrender, to awaken the
timeless healing force within each one of us.
Each Sanjeevini is
a focused prayer that will heal a particular body part or a disease
using Divine Healing Energy which includes all known and unknown
healing forces in Nature (including all systems of medicine and
healing).
The Sanjeevinis do not have any side effects. The
Sanjeevinis do not interfere with other systems of medicine that the
patient may be using - either Allopathic, Homoeopathic, Ayurvedic or
any other healing method including naturopathic, herbal or spiritual
e.g. Reiki, Mahakari, Pranic healing, Hands-on healing, Vibronics.
Using the Sanathana Sai Sanjeevini system is extremely
inexpensive. Remedies for virtually any ailment are prepared by
keeping a medium of your choice - water, food (including tea bags and
spices), herbs, powders, blank homoeopathic globules etc on the
desired Sanjeevini patterns for 15 seconds each. Repeating an
affirmation, a mantra or a prayer from any religion or faith, while
preparing the remedies certainly adds to the positive vibrations
going out to the patient besides doing immense good to the healer and
the planet in general.
How to Administer the Sai Sanjeevini
Remedies
Healing with the Sanjeevini healing system is very
simple - no prior medical knowledge is required to use this system
for healing. A selfless, loving desire to relieve suffering with
prayers is the only prequalification needed. The system provides a
simple, effective, inexpensive way of doing selfless loving service
for the community we live in as well as for the under-privileged.
A
very important aspect of the Sanjeevinis is the spirit of surrender -
"Thy Will be done" is the yearning with which a healer is
best able to use the Sanjeevinis without allowing the ego to
interfere.
A special note: These remedies are not intended to
replace any medication. Taking these remedies will neither conflict
with other medications nor cause side effects in those who take
them.
1.Discuss with your patient what their problem is, and
select the appropriate card(s). There is no limit to the number of
Sanjeevini remedies that may be administered to a patient at one
time.
2.Decide how you will divide the remedies up. Many
Sanjeevinis may be combined, however some patients may prefer to take
them separately. Also some remedies may be needed longer than others.
Use your best judgement and consideration to your patients’s
perceptions regarding the taking of medication.
3.Decide what
medium you will use. Water, sugar pills (as used for homeopathic
remedies) tea bags, tinctures, juices, powders, etc. The bottle or
container you choose may be any shape or size.
4.Place the
container with your chosen medium on or in the circle of the selected
Sanjeevini card for 15 seconds. If more than one Sanjeevini card is
used (which is often the case), simply place the container on each
card for 15 seconds. 15 seconds is all the time that is needed to
infuse the medium with the healing energies of the cards.
5.Use
the 15 seconds to pray and/or visualize. The prayer should be
directed towards the Supreme Being (in whatever way you wish to
acknowledge Her/Him).

Multiple Choice questions and answers
for Week 2
The law of resonance
Multiple Choice Answer 1:
True / False (Cross out
the wrong answer): The
law of resonance describes how something vibrating with a
certain frequency vill start the same vibration in anything in its
vicinity that harbours that vibration potentially.
For example two
similar tuning forks in close proximity, both set in positions so
they can vibrate freely, if one is set to vibrate, the other will
start too even if untouched.
This law implies that whatever happens is more or less powerful, more or less confused by the resonances between for example what is said and body language, what is said and what is thought of, what is said and how the speaker go about the same issues in his own life etc.
Multiple Choice Answer 2:
True / False (Cross out
the wrong answer): Morphic resonance describes how we are
formed according to fields within fields within fields, according to
resonances, vibrations ever so subtle somewhere.
This means that
we are not free, that we are just a product of a previous vibration.
Multiple Choice Answer 3: True / False (Cross out the wrong answer): The law of resonance is not an important law to understand if we want to help another person
