Chapter 1. Energy is Everything

Okay, so why another book on these subjects? Why would I take the time to put pen to paper (Well, tap keys on my computer at any rate.)? Maybe I am just like you; maybe I want to know not only what happens to this body of mine, but also how it happens and how to stop it happening.

The what that happens is easy: Hit finger with hammer, big owie, pain and swelling, and with time all is well again. That’s what happened. But how did the pain happen? How did the body repair itself? How did my brain know that some part of my body was injured? How did the cells respond; how did it all work? That’s where my brain goes.

I remember as a young boy asking incessant questions every time my dad asked or told me to do something on the farm. My never-ending questions drove him nuts. I could always see what he wanted, but I always asked "Why?" and "How would this or that be the right thing to do or the right way to do it?" I think I left home at 17 to save my dad from an early grave -- bless his soul. I had the same issue with most of my school teachers: I just drove them to despair. Especially my science teacher, but not my engineering teacher: That I got. I not only understood the what happened, I understood the how it happened.

I loved engineering with a passion, because it’s all about the how: how to build a bridge, how to design and build a sky scraper, how to build an airplane. Speaking of airplanes: One of the first jet airliners, the Comet 4, kept falling out of the sky and nobody knew why. The what happened was easy: the bloody thing broke and fell out of the sky. That’s what happened. But the why and how were the tricky parts that took many months to figure out. You see, the main structural parts were solid metal and could take many more tons of stress than it took to hold the aircraft together in flight. But they broke.

The engineering guys and girls, and many scientists, had to drill deep into something they had not dealt with before. You see, the chemistry of the metal was okay, but something else made the metal parts just break in half. Well it soon transpired that, as the aircraft traveled through the air, a resonance built up -- a vibration, an electrical field was generated (energy if you like) and that resonance -- that vibration -- was such that it affected the bonding of the atoms within the metal. The metal molecules got to a certain frequency, a certain energy vibration, and they just let go hands and the metal fell apart. It’s what we now know as metal fatigue. The electrical fields in the molecules got out of phase, and the energy bonding of the atoms failed, and the part broke, and down went the aircraft. We would not have modern reliable aircraft, tall buildings, and large bridges if the engineers did not look into and come to understand the energy, or electrical or vibrational side, of what takes place on a molecular level. The modern design process of all large structures and aircraft relies on this knowledge and understanding of energy. Because all things in this universe, including this body of ours are constructed and work on this energy reality. We are made of atoms. We are electrical. We are energy.

And without understanding the energy part of life, we can never understand this body or this life we are living.
One more example: Years ago when our family was on the farm in New Zealand, I used to take in old, emotionally and physically broken race horses for my daughter, Karen, to ride. We used to let them loose in a large field so they could just be horses again, and Karen would love them and ride them. Anyhow, one old silver horse, Sam, was getting a bit ornery, and Karen didn’t always finish her ride in the saddle. So it came to that time, as Sam was in pain and slept most of the day, to send him off to the large grassy field in the sky. When the vet was on the farm one day, I suggested we had better send Sam off, because I did not want him to suffer any longer.

So I went up to Sam and cradled his head in my arms as he lay there, giving him as much love as I could, while the vet went back to his rump, tapped it a couple of times and injected the bye-bye drug into his muscle. As the vet pushed in the syringe, Sam’s head just let go into my arms and he passed.

"Hey," I said to the vet. "That’s a drug you are using, right?" "Yap, why?" he asked.

"How long does it take the blood to get pumped around a horse’s body?" I asked.

He replied: "About three minutes or so."

Then I stepped back from the now-very-dead Sam and said: "Well, that could not have been a chemical reaction because as you were still pushing in the syringe, Sam’s brain died and he was gone. The drug did not even get anywhere near his brain or heart or anywhere in that fraction of a second, so it can’t be a chemical reaction. It must have been an electrical action, an electrical energy impulse process that turned off all the systems."

The vet stepped back, looked at me, looked at the horse, back at me and said: "You have just destroyed my 30 years of pharmaceutical knowledge. You are right: that could not have been a drug-only response."

That little episode started a long friendship between us, and we spent many hours discussing how life works on an electrical- impulse level or, as I say, as an energy system. We are energy and when the energy system goes wrong, disease and physical issues transpire.

So good people, this is why I am writing this little book. We all get told what is happening to our bodies. The what might be a heart attack, cancer, a bladder infection, or whatever, but we never get told the how, and without knowing the how we can never stop our diseases or even avoid them. Just like the engineers with the metal fatigue on those early jet aircraft, it was only by understanding how the metal broke in the first place that they are now able to prevent it from happening.
It’s the same with our diseases, health, wellness, beauty and the aging process. Unless we understand the how, we will never stop our problems from happening. We need to understand the energy -- the electrical part of this body -- to get anywhere.

We came to live this life full of love, joy, and happiness, with vibrant health, and to look and feel great well into our old age. We came to dance, to be a little crazy, and to live every moment to its fullest. We cannot do that if we are ill, and we can’t stop being ill unless we understand how this thing called a body works. We can’t stop, cure, or change a darn thing unless we understand how it happens in the first place.
