Amongst pagans and similar traditions, we are bombarded with the information that we are residents of a living planet. While the importance of such a sentiment cannot be understated, nor should such a notion be disputed... the tools, and even the empirical tools , of such a distinction concern both the accuracy of our concepts and the appropriateness of our actions, our level of credibility as proponents of ecological concerns and lifestyles, and so on. Just as we are likely to silence our own voices as ecologists or enviromentalists if we strive to complain of toxins pumped into our environment, and inevitably coming into the possibility of contact and ingestion, while we out of sheer tradition rather than discerning are guilty of adding deadly poisonous plants to our own backyards or those of others through advocacy of their cultivation, so too, do we have certain needs to know those things which allow us to present ourselves in a credible and thoughtful fashion to the world.
Likewise, the distinction is of some concern to alchemists and aspirants to palingenics and resurrection... just as it ultimately may serve in the most advanced equipment for the detection of whether or not a human being or other organism has truly experienced death as we know it, or whether, as reports have evidenced to us (It was not that long ago when a major network news program announced that the “six minute barrier” had been broken, wherein the declaration of death after six minutes had been overturned by determined doctors restoring a human being to life after nearly a half an hour of apparent death; the ramification, both glorious and horrifying seem to have been almost completely ignored) are in the routine habit of embalming and burying persons who are not truly dead, notwithstanding that in the face of solid fragments of actual techniques for resurrection, the term itself requires some careful reconsideration...
One of the striking things to come out of Eric Dollard’s work in Tesla Technology is the discovery of a force that seems to be able to distinguish living matter from non-living matter, and is featured in one of Borderlands Sciences Research Foundation’s videos. By lighting an incandescent lightbulb without using wires by its close proximity to a Tesla device, the lightbulb seems to emit an energy that attracts non-living matter, but repels living matter. More research, and even speculation and conjecture, are vastly appropriate in the area of this important discovery.
I have also experienced this effect while plugging a guitar into a small portable electronic amplifier designed for this purpose; emitted by the flat end (“military-style” audio plug) of the cord as it went into the input jack, was an energy which could be felt “streaming” and exerting repulsive force on my hand, and yet was attractive to lint and small peices of torn paper; I was not able to ascertain the exact reason this effect occured in that situation, I suspect the probably unorthodox wiring done to power up the band instruments had some bearing.
A paper, "Evidence That Atoms Behave Differently In Biological Systems Than Outside Of Them" is available on the internet from KeelyNet... while it does a superb job giving Louis Kervran’s work in Biotransmutation a fair and honest look, and providing context, were it that it were striking even deeper into the heart of the matter.
We can perhaps infer much of what is involved, if we listen carefully, from the ideas of Ilya Progogyne, and those of Thomas Bearden... when we begin to talk about how in a given living system is able to somehow incorporate matter into a breathtakingly complex thing as a bioorganisms, we are imply the complexity we have come to associate with fractal, so-called chaotic, or non-linear systems.
Certainly, this consititutes in itself considerable support for one of the great and avoidable follies of modern science, somehow believing that living matter is going to behave the same in vitro or in vivo, just as it is often pointed out that it is folly to believe that experiments conducted on animals appropriate represent results relevant to human beings, or even that experiments on humans of one gender appropriately represent the results we can expect from the other gender.
This also brings us to the matter which many pagans, vegans, animal rights activistists and many others- including many Christians- are deeply concerned with: possessing the tools to truly forego, and to equip others to truly forego, the exploitation of animals in testing medicines. As we try to find context to assure ourselves that the wonderful gift of tradition that we have in Medical Divination can truly and effectively afford us this, the precise definitions, or at least our closest approximations, of life itself may be of great service to us.
While it may seem mind boggling to begin looking for such patterns of complexity within the atom, perhaps we can have the good fortune to successfully identify some simple and singular component that is characteristic of, and particular to, living matter. While the results of Eric Dollard’s expiriment seem to be mere expression of the attractive and repulsive forces which depend on the polarity of electricity or magnetism, we should not mistake the outcome for the cause; an underlying reason why the result is different polarities depending on animacy needs to be identified.
Furthermore, I should like to point out here that there are images from Occult History that bear striking resemblance to fractalized patterns of atoms. The visions of Saint Hildegarde of Bingen are not only extraordinarily Theosophical in their character, but they seem extraordinarily fractal and holographic in nature, as if her rendition of a sphere occupied by choirs of angels were actually an example of Thesophical “Occult Chemistry” and the clairvoyant or psychic seeing of atomic and subatomic matter that had gone far beyond what the Thesophists had presented near the turn of the present century, and had proceeded so far as to see infinitely finer detail in the structure of matter.
One example suggests that each atom features a hologram of the organism to which it belongs, labelled within her spiritual context as an apparation of Christ; it is uncertain whether the visionary Saint precisely understood the context of what she seems to have been seeing, and yet such holographic ideas as “the macrocosm and microcosm” were stikingly common within Christendom at the time.
While it seems commonplace to still stuggle to make precise definitions of the ramifications of what current science is pointing to, it may in the end be the same familiar terms applied by both the scientific approaches to Palingenics and resurrection that are found on these pages, and those that were applied by the classical spiritualists and Theosophists- who perhaps should have connotated the term they used, “Magnetism” as literally as they did liberally... although many stiking instances demonstrate the use of the term Was quite literal, as in the magnet-tipped wands they advocated in practices of conjuration...
While this is but a coarse overview-- the finer points need to be carefully applied to a number of areas, from understanding the “living salts” of the alchemists and the related concerns of their particular methods, and accomplishing the majestic alchemical feats of Palingenics and the creation of the Homunculus, to resolving many modern conflicts over the fine specifics of the role of minerals in human nutrition-- it is perhaps as concrete as the most initial starting point needs to be.
Enthusiastic looks at a great many phenomena in many areas will hopefully lend much creedence and utility to such a point of view.
