The organized energy field acts unseen as a virtual database of medicine. “Medicine” and “organisation” intersect in several ways, encompassing both the structure of healthcare systems and the organized approach to medical practice, research, and drug development.
Organized healthcare systems, like hospitals and clinics, are essential for delivering medical care. Additionally, the pharmaceutical industry relies on organized research and development to create new medicines.
Healthcare Systems: organized delivery: Hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities are organized structures designed to provide medical services to patients.
Management and administration: These organizations require efficient management and administration to ensure smooth operations, resource allocation, and patient care.
Public health organizations: organizations like the World Health Organization(WHO) and national health agencies play a crucial role in public health and disease prevention.
Regulation: government agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulate the safety and efficacy of medicines and medical devices.
Medical practice and research: organized knowledge: medicine is a body of knowledge, organized into specialties (like cardiology, oncology, etc.) and subspecialties.
Research institutions: medical research is often conducted within organized institutions like universities and research hospitals.
Clinical trials: drug development involves highly organized clinical trials to test the safety and effectiveness of new medications.
Connection to the organised energy field : in your model, the organised energy field acts as the blueprint and memory system behind biological organisation. Medical healing could be seen not only as restoring physical function but also as re-aligning the body’s energy field with its original “memory of health.”
Regeneration and repair may depend on how well the cells and tissues can reconnect to this field’s organising pattern. This view supports the idea that beyond biochemistry, there’s an informational/spiritual layer guiding recovery and health.
This chapter discusses the connection between health, medicine, and the spirit. It highlights the importance of good health for happiness and well-being, emphasizing that many illnesses, especially in the Western world, are caused by a combination of factors such as stress, diet, environmental conditions, and genetics. When faced with life-threatening diseases, people often reflect on their lives, seeking peace and resolution.
While Western medicine has significantly increased life expectancy through technological advances, it may not always provide solutions for patients with unclear health issues, leading some to turn to alternative therapies.
These approaches often focus on holistic healing, addressing psychological, emotional, and dietary factors, and aim to boost the immune system. Methods like acupuncture, which addresses energy blockages in the body, are highlighted as successful alternatives in some cases.
The chapter also explores the concept of the spirit as an encompassing force in both organic and inorganic matter. It argues that a more spiritual, less mechanistic approach to medicine, integrating intuition and a holistic view, could prevent many health problems and bring relief where conventional medicine falls short.
Good health is dear. Happiness and welfare for a great deal depend on it. Many people find it self-evident that they are healthy, until a severe illness changes their lives and they find it frustrating to accept physical limitations. If it’s a life-threatening disease, it is considered to be inevitable and people spend much time thinking on what caused it: physiological and psychological factors, the living environment and diet.
The main illnesses causing death in the Western world are cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases and chronic illnesses. They are usually caused by a mixture of the abovementioned factors as well as stress, unbalanced diet, contact with dangerous substances and hereditary factors.
The first, innocent, warnings of a disease are usually met with a rigorous change in behaviour in order to prevent worse. A fatal illness causes much suffering and a phase of dying, when a wonder is being hoped for or people resign themselves to their fate and spend time reflecting and letting go of their old life and fixed routines.
Conflicts are solved so people can die in peace. People reflect on what they could have done better, if the illness allows. The science of medicine and knowledge of environmental circumstances becomes ever more advanced, as does the life expectancy of Western population. The quality of life, however, is threatened when doctors try to keep patients alive as long as possible.
People in good health will inevitably be confronted with physical defects and wear and tear because of old age. Old age is programmed in the genes and the spirit. If there were immortality, nature would be disturbed, progress and evolution would be impossible and procreation would lead to overpopulation.
Genetic differentiation would be too small to obtain statistically significant mutations, necessary for a successful evolution. Here, too, the spirit plays a prominent role as a carrier of identity and memory. Immortality would mean an escape from the cycle of death and rebirth. There would then be no spiritual cleansing of karma, which opens a new path of life in order to gain spiritual and intellectual progress so eventually Nirwana can be reached. Striving for immortality out of desire and a fear of dying would leave evolution and progress impossible to achieve.
The human body with its inherent mechanism of regulation, its resilience and its complexity is a tour de force of nature. The finely attuned feedback mechanisms that improve stable and adequate actions are the epitome of subtle and sophisticated engineering.
The mentioned factors contributing to illness and bad health often achieve this combinedly. In the course of history, humanity applied various approaches to cure people, based on different views, backgrounds and scientific experiments. The science of medicine in the western world has become prominent due to its technological innovation.
Before that, humanity had to make do with herbal treatments based on ancient legends. Medicine also had religious and political aspects: evil spirits had to be dispelled and good spirits should be cherished and stimulated. It resembled occult, paranormal and mythological methods of healing.
The closer to nature a person was, the more prominently present naturopathy was. The results were not all bad, sometimes even spectacular, but this method of healing, based on natural ingredients, has been surpassed by the western scientific approach.
Pharmacology, sophisticated means of diagnosis and operation techniques strongly increased man’s life expectancy. The importance of measuring and objective science led to a broad range of specialisations providing a treatment for any ailment in order to give people a longer and better life. It has unmistakably delivered progress and success.
But there is always a group of patients with indistinct health problems that cannot be remedied. Eventually they turn towards so-called alternative therapies for help, with varying degrees of success. A person does not want to suffer discomfort or pain, even if nothing can be done about it. They need to hope, even if it is against their better judgment.
Here a healing method that is more oriented to nature can be successful. It offers more attention for psychological factors and tries to boost the immune system. Patients are approached in a more personal and intuitive manner and are advised on diet or paranormally redirected. Sometimes this leads to actual healing or relief. I will discuss the paranormal aspect later.
Another form of naturopathy, not yet mentioned, is acupuncture. An ancient method, based on a natural image of man having a physiological body that contains fictitious meridians of energy. Fictitious, because the western science of medicine is unable to prove their existence. By acupuncture blocks in the flow of energy are cleared, so energy can flow uninterruptedly through the body. This method of natural healing is successful, because it prevents further damage while it is not as invasive as some medical operations are.
There is a broad range to diagnose medical ailments. The western science of medicine has the broadest and most elaborate range of them all. Testing blood samples and observing organs by means of state-of-the-art technology does not leave anything to chance.
Western medicine is far advanced in its diagnosis and repair techniques. Alternative methods of healing take a different view of a patient. They try to adjust a patient’s way of living, to establish possible shortcomings psychologically as well as socially and to give dietary advice. It requires intensive and personal contact to find the proper treatment.
The way a diagnosis is obtained is different for homeopaths, iridologists, reflexologists and paranormal therapists. They hold a holistic view, very much different from the traditional view of western medicine. The body is considered in its entirety, where everything is connected and communicates. For example, a problem with an organ can be seen in the eyes, feet, aura or meridians of the body, while they may be meters apart.
An alternative therapist is successful in the areas where western medicine is not. Problems that are difficult to trace or unclear can be identified by less mechanical but more intuitive methods of treatment and bring relief where western science has nothing more to offer.
The view of the spirit also applies to the inorganic world of matter: the synthesis of spirit and matter applies both on micro and macro level. The spirit encloses organic material in the same way as it does inorganic material. It is non-local and dimensionless, but it is omnipresent.
A contradiction in terms, which links physics and metaphysics. A holistic view does not have to be excluded from it. The spirit is universal, all-encompassing and dimensionless. A more spiritual, less mechanic and less reductionist approach to medicine would help to prevent a lot of health problems.
