“ All living cells have a cellular consciousness and are able to communicate with other cells of the same or other species even when they are distance apart”.

Deepak Chopra in The Spontaneous Fulfillment OF Desire; Harnessing The Infinite Power Of Coincidence (2003:55)

In 1995 in the Russian Academy Of Sciences quantum biologist Vladimir Popnin and Peter Gariaev were experimenting and obtained results that suggested that human DNA directly affected the physical world through a field of energy that connect them. It is called “Phantom effect”. The scientists took am empty tube, got the air out so it will be a vacuum. They looked at the photons (particles of light) and saw that the photons were scattered in the tube without any order. Then they put DNA into the tube and they saw that the photons arranged themselves in an order. The implication here is that DNA; the substance we are composed of was observed and found to have a direct effect on the quantum particles that our world is made of! When the scientists removed the DNA they expected the photons to go back to being out of order, but instead they remained in order. The scientists were forced to ask if the DNA left behind a residual force that stayed after the physical DNA was removed? Were the DNA and photons connected in some way or on some level? The scientist concluded that some new force structure was being excited. This experiment showed us that as old traditions and spiritual texts say, we have a direct effect on the world around us.

The “phantom effect” has great significance with the following experiment. It is well documented that our emotions influence the cell function in our body. The researchers wanted to further see if the emotions still have an impact on DNA cells when they are outside the body. A DNA sample was removed by a swab in the mouth, and taken to a different room in the building. The volunteer was shown videos that created an emotional response. While the emotion was high the DNA measurement (electrically) peaked as well, the same with the “dips”. The DNA acted as if it was still physically connected to the volunteer’s body. Dr. Cleve Baxter that created this experiment (for the army) kept testing in distances of several hundred miles, where the DNA and the donors were kept apart, and still the response was simultaneous.

In another experiment Cleve Baxter isolated white blood cells in order to study them. As part of the procedure he centrifuged his saliva to get concentrated number of white cells, them he placed them in a test tube and inserted gold wire electrodes connected to EEG-type instrumentation. He was thinking of inflicting a small cut on the back of his hand. He went to search for a sterile lancet on a nearby shelf, when he came back he glanced at the chart that was recording the electromagnetic activity of the white blood cells. It had already registered intense activity among the white blood cells, during his search for the lancet. In other words, his white blood cells were reacting to his intention to cut his hand even before he inflicted the cut.

These experiments prove that there is a connective field that connects everything in the universe. The experiments proved as well that the DNA in our bodies, give us access to this field, and this field could be tapped into by using our emotions.

Renowned author Deepak Chopra M.D. talks about sensations. He says that the universe has provided us with a mechanism that helps us make the correct choices spontaneously. It has to do with our body’s sensations, sensations of comfort and discomfort. One may ask his body “If I make this choice, what will happen?” If your body sends a message of comfort then it’s correct to take that choice. If on the other hand you get a message of discomfort then it’s the wrong choice. For some people the sensation is in the area of the solar plexus, for others it is in the heart area. The important point that Deepak Chopra is making here is that we must become consciously aware that our future is generated by the choices that we make every moment of our lives.

In his book The Spontaneous Healing Of Belief: Shattering The Paradigm Of False Limits (2008:62), author Gregg Braden tells a story about a conversation he had with the Abbot of an 800 years old monastery at the base of the Himalayan mountains. He had asked the Abbot, What do people see when they see them pray? The abbot replied to Gregg Braden that people don’t really see them pray, because they cannot see them pray. What people do see is what the praying people do to create the feeling in their bodies. “Feeling is the prayer”. Here Gregg Braden reminds us that in the Gnostic and Christian traditions we are given instructions on how to create feelings that produce miracles in the book of John (16:24):” Ask without hidden motive and be surrounded by your answer”

According to Ancient Sanskrit texts, the first three charkas are associated with the experience of emotions the upper ones are thoughts logic and communication. Thoughts have little power without emotions. Emotions are what propels us forward in life or what destroys us in life. It depends on our ability to harness them, and this is where we need thoughts. They are our guidance system. To create feelings author Gregg Braden says in his book The Spontaneous Healing Of Belief: Shattering The Paradigm of False Limits (2008:66)”when we marry the thoughts in our minds with the power of the emotions that emanate from our lower energy centers, we create feelings”.

Belief is a form of feeling. When we hold a belief about something, we usually have a feeling about it, a strong feeling. As Gregg Braden writes in his book The Spontaneous Healing Of Belief: Shattering The Paradigm of False Limits (2008:68):”Beliefs, and the feelings that we have about them, are the language that “speaks” to the quantum stuff that makes our reality.”

Sometimes our beliefs are caused by body resonance, known to most of us as vibes and not by thoughts. Resonance, the exchange of energy between two things, it is a two way experience. It lets one thing come into balance with the other. For example if we put two guitars in the opposite side of a room, and we pluck the lowest string on one of the guitars, the other guitar across the room will vibrate on the same octave, as if we plucked it. Both guitars are equal in their ability to share the energy of a wave traveling through space, across the room.

Resonance has a very big part in our lives, from turning to our favorite television station to the feeling we have when someone says nice things to us. Our experience of our belief is about the resonance between that and us which is in front of us. Our physical body responds to our experience by directing our thoughts to what we see, hear or feel. When our experience resonates with us our body’s response says to us that it’s “true” at that time. The response of “True” is not necessarily “the truth”, but it holds true to us at that moment. In our experience of body truth we get physical sensations: goose bumps, ringing in the ears, flushing of the face, upper chest and arms.

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung coined the term “shadow” to describe the hidden side of the human psyche. There are hidden (unconscious) aspects of ourselves, both good and bad, which our ego repressed or denied, and we do not realize.

“The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside of fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out conflict and be torn into opposing halves.” Dr. Carl Gustav Jung.

There are patterns that repeat in our lives in relationships, at work, in our actions. We can keep thinking that it’s the circumstances and the other people’s fault or we can choose to wake up, look at ourselves, and ask why is this keep happening in one’s life?

The Shadow is an archetype, typically in consciousness for everyone. Confrontation with our shadow is needed for self-growth and self-awareness. The way we see our shadow is through other people. The way we interact that is reflected by others.

The first phase to overcome our shadow is to just enjoy it if it’s a positive aspect, or to take full responsibility for our own life, it it’s a negative aspect. No one but yourself is responsible for your life! Throughout our life when anything goes wrong there is always another person or circumstance to blame, but when one takes full responsibility for their life one is more careful of his choices. One should not let circumstances decide for him/her. We each need to be conscious creators and see what deliberate choices we want to make. When we take on the responsibility the inner world is reflected in our outer world. When we examine the repeating pattern in our lives we can start to see where we make wrong choices and how we can improve on our choices to change those patterns.

When we meet people that we have problems with, we can rest assure that there is an aspect of our negative shadow that is brought into play. For example, if someone always has a problem collecting the money they are owed for goods and services, the shadow aspect could be that they don’t value what they do. In their subconscious they might think they are not worthy (to get paid for their work). In the outer world it will show up as people taking advantage monetarily and not paying that person. When this person will look at himself and figure out that he always has problems with people not paying him. He may come to the conclusion that he needs to value his work, and himself. then the outer world will match the inner world by people starting to pay him on time. It could also be that his shadow lies in him not putting the correct border so people he works with think that he is their friend and they could string him along, not pay him, or pay him late. Whatever his subconscious belief is he needs to bring it into the light; to be aware or conscious of it, and he needs to deal with it.
It works this way with a positive shadow, people that one might be attracted to, mirror the positive shadow for this person.

As long as we are in a physical body, we will keep having “shadows” to discover and work through. We need to look at our shadows, use them if they are positive, and work on them if they are negative.

Happy “hunting” for your shadows.
