Is it possible to diminish the negative effects of energetic pollution? In this lecture, I would like to discuss some aspects of the environment’s subtle energy conditions and how these conditions might influence us. We know that energy affects us on all levels: through meridians, energy centers, and structures that ancient science calls “subtle bodies.” Various ranges of SE affect the physiology, the nervous system, all of our organs and the systems of the human body, in the manner of some kind of software. The difference between our “software” and the software of computers is that what we eat, how we feel and how we think influences SE patterns in our system. In other words, we are self-organizing systems with bio-feedback between our “hardware” and “software.” Besides these factors, we are under continuous influence of the environment, which affects us not only physically and chemically, but also energetically. Obviously, we, as a society, influence the environment in many ways, too, including through our technologies. Unfortunately, we affect the environment in many negative ways, not only chemically, but also energetically. I would like to mention here one less conspicuous way in which we energetically pollute the environment, which is directly connected with the discussion we had earlier. Here, I mean the energetic pollution produced by electromagnetism-based technologies. The interaction between subtle energy and the EM field is confirmed by the experiment we discussed before, in the previous lectures. This interaction is a basis for the generation of SE by Vital Force Technology using plasma vibrating under an electromagnetic field impact. The fact that this interaction exists warns us that thoughtless use of EM-based technologies can pollute the environment with unnatural vibrations of the SE field, which, in turn, can negatively influence the functions of energetic systems of living organisms, including humans (Fig. 7.1). Page 2 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 Is it possible that SE can influence us on such a deep level as the genetic level? We will see from experimental results that we will discuss in future lectures, an indication of the influence of SE on genes’ expression taking place in human cells. But before that let us see whether we can find an answer to a more general question, which is practically important for all health practitioners: can environmental subtle energy influence the healing process? To answer this question, we will start with the discussion of the experiment that we conducted with Dr. Joie Jones on the restoration of cells damaged by gamma radiation, using SE patterns developed with the help of VFT, specifically for this experiment. Before our joint research, Dr. Jones had, for 10 years, conducted similar research using healers from the school of “pranic healing.” I mentioned his research in previous lectures. For this experiment Dr. Jones research demonstrated the ability of pranic healers to increase the survival rate of HeLa cells subjected to gamma radiation from the expected 50% for the untreated cells, to over 90% for cells treated by healers, both before and after radiation. This healing effect was independent of the distance between the healers and the cells. Shielding the cells from EMF and gamma radiation during the healing sessions had no effect on the results. Most important for our discussion is the observation made by Dr. Jones that the healing effect was dramatically different in “energetically clean” and “energetically dirty” environments. He conducted his experiments in three laboratories: 1) The “conditioned” lab”: a lab that had been regularly energetically cleaned by pranic healers over a period of 10 years of experimentation. Healers used subtle energy/prana projected by them using techniques developed in the school of “pranic healing”. 2) The “non-conditioned” lab: a fairly new and well maintained environment. Fig. 7.1. Features of Subtle Energy. Page 3 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 3) The “dirty lab”: a lab where experiments on dissected animals and other similar experimentation had been conducted over a lengthy period of time. Here are the results Dr. Jones observed in the three labs (Table 7.1): TABLE 7.1 “Conditioned lab” “Non- conditioned lab” “Dirty lab” Success Rate 88% (T = 854) 10% (T = 150) 0% (T = 150) Dr. Jones chose a line of cells called HeLa cells that have been used for experiments in radiation biology for decades. Their response to radiation is what makes HeLa cells convenient objects for research. In his experiment Dr. Jones pursued purely scientific goal and did not attempt to fine cure for damages produced by gamma radiation to human cells. In this table “T” represents the total amount of experiments. “Success rate” indicates percent of petri dishes with increased survival rate of gamma-radiated cells subjected to healers’ treatment. Dr. Jones’ experiments are the first experiments with human cells that clearly reveal the damaging impact of energetic pollution on the healing process. It is logical to assume that the human body, with its many varieties of cell types, is also very sensitive to energetic conditions in the environment. I believe future medical science will be comparing this discovery with Louis Pasteur’s discovery about the role of germs and microbes in the causes and prevention of disease, which revolutionized the health care science in the nineteenth century. These experiments raise some very important questions with huge implications. Obviously, medical clinics, surgical rooms, emergency rooms, psychiatric hospitals, etc. contain energetic pollution. This gives rise to two questions: 1) Is it possible to counteract the negative impact of energetic pollution on the healing process? 2) Is there any way to clean an energetically polluted environment? To answer these questions, we decided to set up another series of experiments to further explore the governing laws and properties of this “mysterious” subtle energy. Additional goals of our experiments were to shed some light on the energetic mechanism of the “power of intent” of the human mind, and to demonstrate that subtle energy is not just a bio- Page 4 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 field of the human body as many people believe, but an energy belonging to the universe, like electromagnetic energy. To pursue the objectives of our research, subtle energy patterns were produced and recorded with the VFT equipment, using two different methods: 1) Energy was imprinted by a pranic healer into a glass of liquid concentrated trace minerals; this glass was placed into VFT equipment to “map” the energy pattern. We will discuss this technique in more details when we consider the case of recoding an energy pattern created by verbal affirmations. 2) An energy pattern based on the electronically simulated element Erbium, known for its influence on cellular health, was generated by the VFT generator. Thus, “Erbium-PA” is one of the “phantom atom” patterns that I described in the previous lecture. In both cases, the energy patterns were infused into a standard Ringer’s solution and the solution was added to petri dishes with HeLa cells growing in that solution. The same amount of “uncharged” Ringer’s solution was added to the control samples with radiated and non-radiated cells. Both energy patterns produced an almost equal increase in the survival rate of cells (they differed by approximately 4%). For this reason, we used both of them together in all of the following experiments. Here are the results of these experiments – Fig. 7.2. Fig. 7.2 Percentage of survival rate of cells infused with healing (H) subtle energy patterns Page 5 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 Further, we will discuss only the most successful results, when the infused solution was added to petri dishes with cells both before and after radiation. The success rate (the number of Petri dishes with increased survival rate) was very different in the “conditioned”, “non- conditioned” and “dirty” laboratories (Table 7.2), much the same as in the pranic experiments reported by Dr. Jones. Again, here we see the tremendous impact the energetically polluted environment has on the experiments. The results show that energetic pollution literally jams the “energetic programs” capable of dramatically increasing the survival rate of cells subjected to gamma radiation in cleaner energetic environments. We need to draw your attention to the fact that the average percentage of increase in the cell survival rate in the successful experiments was practically the same in the “conditioned” and “non-conditioned” labs: 88.2% and 88.3%; although the number of the successful experiments was dramatically different – 89% and 11%, respectively. The phenomenon of the parity of the cells survival rates taking place in successful experimental samples in such different environmental conditions, mentioned above, is one of the examples demonstrating the distinction of the energetic healing from other modalities. This also demonstrates that rare (“miracle”) cures, happening in the energetically polluted environment, can become much more efficient (“regular”) phenomena if environment have been cleaned from the energetic pollution. These results inspired us to conduct additional experiments aimed at finding ways to protect the healing action of energy patterns infused into Ringer’s solutions from being destroyed by energetic pollution. For that purpose, new “protective” energy pattern (“P”) was produced by recording the energy of a pranic healer using the technique described earlier. The intent projected by the healer was “protection of cells from negative energy in the environment.” The next 45 experiments were conducted in each of the same three labs. This time, the Ringer’s solution added to the experimental samples was infused with the P-pattern, along with the healing subtle energy patterns (H). Pranic Healing H Patterns "Conditioned lab" 88% 89% "Non-conditioned lab" 10% 11% “Dirty lab" 0% 0% TABLE 7.2: Percentage of successful experiments with Pranic healing and H energy patterns Page 6 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 The presence of protective energy patterns dramatically increased the number of successful experiments in both the “non-conditioned” and the “dirty” labs (Table 7.3): Adding this protective pattern did not change the number of successful experiments in the “conditioned” lab, which is logical to expect; however, it did significantly affect the results observed in the two labs with the energetically polluted environments. Having succeeded in creating a “protective” energy pattern, we made an attempt to create a “cleansing” pattern that would be able to clean the entire space in the “dirty” lab. Using the same protocol we employed for the creation of the “protective” pattern, we made a “cleansing” energetic pattern. In our first experiments with the “cleansing” energy pattern, we used the following method for influencing the space with this energy pattern. The energy was recorded with the VFT equipment in a DVD-audio format using the highest possible resolution. We played this DVD— which lasts 20 minutes (no sound is produced and only the subtle subatomic energy of the “cleansing” pattern is emitted)—one time and produced the following results (Table 7.4): Note: When Dr. Jones’ lab was initially being prepared for experiments, it took pranic healers four months to condition the lab. An increase in the survival rate of cells was never observed in the “dirty” lab during Joie’s years of experiments with pranic healers. In our Pranic Healing H Energy Pattern H & P Energy Pattern "Conditioned lab" 88% 89% 89% "Non-conditioned lab" 10% 11% 87% “Dirty lab" 0% 0% 78% TABLE 7.3: Percentage of successful experiments Total number of experiments in each lab: 45 "Conditioned lab" 88% (T = 854) 89% (T = 30) "Non-conditioned lab" 10% (T = 150) 87% (T = 30) “Dirty lab" 0% (T = 150) 68% (T = 30) “T” is the amount of experiments in each case. TABLE 7.4: Percentage of Successful Experiments after treatment of laboratory spaces with “cleansing” energy pattern Pranic Healing Infused energy healing H- patterns Page 7 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 experiment, after spending twenty minutes energetically cleansing the space, we observed an increase from 0% to 68%, regarding successful experiments in the “dirty” lab. Here we need to make a remark about possible reasons for the difference in the “energetic atmosphere” of the “dirty” and the “non-conditioned” labs. Both of these labs had similar conditions regarding amount of electronic equipment and chemical substances. The main difference was that “dirty lab” was a place where students for many years practiced dissection on animals. Thus, question arises: can suffering of living creatures create additional energetic pollution? If you ask energy sensitive people about their feelings of the energetic conditions in, for instance, hospitals, you will definitely have a positive answer to this question. Hence, it becomes obvious that any place with sick people needs to be regularly cleaned not just chemically, but energetically as well, for better success of the healing treatments. We will have more discussion on this matter later. Now we need to come back to our experiment. In order to determine how long the energetic cleansing is effective, Dr. Jones repeated the experiments with radiated cells in all three labs at intervals of three days, from the time of the original cleansing. Here is what we found (Fig. 7.3): We can see that the continued presence of energetic pollution in the “dirty” lab jams the healing energy much faster than it does in the regular non-conditioned lab. I would like to mention Fig. 7.3: Effectiveness and duration of energetic cleansing in different labs Page 8 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 here that we also made a spray infused with “cleaning” energy. We found that this spray cleanses the space very effectively. We are repeating our experiments using a spray as the cleansing agent, because it is so easy to use and has great potential for application as an energetic cleansing tool for any space, including labs, offices, hospitals, hotels, etc. We are pleased to be able to present here the first clinical observations of positive results obtained as a result of cleaning the “energetic” environment using the spray we call “Clean Sweep.” Dr. Jeffrey Marrongelle of Schuylkill BioNutritional Health Clinic reported that after spraying Clean Sweep around his patients, he observed positive changes in the measured autonomic nervous system (ANS) response, using heart rate variability (HRV) testing. In chronically ill people, who are typically overly sensitive to EM radiation, he observed a drop in elevated heart rate up to 20 beats per minute, and a decrease in the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) response, up to 1.5 deviations towards normal. Even in people with no chronic conditions, he observed the spray had a calming effect on the SNS up to 1.5 deviations and improved the physical fitness parameters of these people measured by HRV test. These preliminary results demonstrate the necessity for further research to see how cleansing the environment of energetic pollution will impact the results of various healing modalities. We believe that the findings of this research will have important implications for the study and practice of energy medicine. We just begin to understand how environmental subtle energy might influence various aspects of our everyday life, including our wellbeing. Even for experienced health professionals the idea of the necessity to maintain an “energetically clean environment” for more effective healing often seems rather uncommon. When for the first time I discussed results of the experiments presented in this lecture, only a few practitioners decided to experiment with spray infused with cleaning energy pattern. But those practitioners who have been using it for a while in their offices (like Dr. Marrongelle) quickly began observe very positive effects of an energetically clean environment on the results of their treatments. This included psychologists, who reported that cleaning office energetically between visits of the patients made improvement of patients’ psychological conditions faster and also helped themselves to feel less tired at the end of the working day. Latter is not surprising if we understand that polluted environment definitely makes functions of body’s energetic systems more difficult and more energy-consuming. Page 9 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 It needs to be mentioned here that reports about being less tired in energetically cleaned office were coming also from people whose professions have been involving a lot of use of the various types of electronic equipment. This fact raises a question about effects of this specific type of environmental pollution -electromagnetic pollutions. Exponential growth of Wi-Fi technologies leads to increasing of the direct effects of electromagnetic energy related to existence in the body electrically charged particles (electrons and ions). Besides, as we already know electromagnetic vibration create vibrations in the subtle energy field, thus creating additional indirect effect on the body’s functions through the energetic system of the body. The research on various aspects of the effects of the growing electromagnetic pollutions on living organisms in general and on human’s health particularly is in the very beginning stage. Though, already some books are published where authors summarize alarming results presented by researchers of many countries. I recommend everybody to read the book “Disconnect” by Dr. Devra Davis, Ph.D., (Fig. 7.4). This book is devoted to, as the author puts it: “The TRUTH about cell phone radiation, what the INDUSTRY is doing to hide it, and how to PROTECT your FAMILY.” As anyone can see, the main area of the body influenced by cellphone radiation is the brain. Very well-known method of researching the brain functions is so called quantitative electro- encephalography (QEEG) for “brain mapping”. I am sure all of you know that it is based on registering and analyzing electrical brain activity in range of frequencies between 0-50 hertz, divided into several ranges, each of which is an indicator of specific neurophysiological states, and called delta, theta, alpha and beta rhythms. It seems logical to expect that research aimed to determine the effects of cell phone’s electromagnetic radiation on the brain would include in its arsenal the “brain mapping,”; strangely enough, you will not be able to find any publications Fig. 7.4 “Disconnect” by Devra Davis Page 10 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 containing results of measuring effects of cell phones on electrical brain activity. All tests of safety of the cell phones impact on the brain include only data of so called SAR (specific absorption rate) test that measures the amount of heat release under cell phone influence, in the brain model having electrical conductivity equal to the conductivity of the human brain tissue. It looks like it is advantageous for cell phone manufacturers to consider the brain simply as a piece of meat instead of as being an immensely sophisticated biological computer with a very delicate electro-neural network that can be affected by cell phone’s radiation. Obviously, strong enough external electromagnetic radiation might be disturbing for electrical activity of the brain. Besides, the vibrations subtle energy field produced by electromagnetic radiation frequencies of which are very extraneous to the energetic system of the body, can also disturb function of that system with unpredictable consequence for biological functions of the physical body. Hopefully researcher will begin soon to investigate this new extremely important area of biological sciences that now is nothing but a big white spot. Thinking about such a possibility, we asked Dr. Jeffery Fannin, founder of the Center for Cognitive Enhancement in Glendale, Arizona, to do a pilot research to see how “smart” cell phones influence electrical brain activity and whether specific subtle energy patterns might help the brain to maintain normal mode of functioning in the presence of the phone radiation. Here is a brief report about the results of this research, which was conducted with 10 subjects (5 male and 5 female) using the QEEG brain mapping equipment and software created by BrainMaster Technologies. Let us look at brain maps presenting electrical brain activity of control (no phone used), in subject talking for 3 minutes on “smart” phone, and the same subject using the same phone with the attached piece of plastic infused with a subtle energy pattern created for normalization of electrical brain activity. Colors on brain maps present level of electrical activity in the given area of the brain. Following color codes are used by the software of the QEEG system: Dark Green - normal amplitude of the brain’s electrical activity Yellow/ Orange - 2 standard deviation (SD) above normal Red - 3 or more SD above normal Light Blue - 2 SD below normal Dark Blue - 3 SD below normal Page 11 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 Fig. 7.5 presents example of the baseline brain maps of male and female participants of the experiment. Participants (5 male and 5 female, from 34 to 64 years of age) were normal healthy individuals, screened for absence of psychological and neurological abnormalities via QEEG brain mapping. During experimental sessions the QEEG of each participant was recorded while he/she was involved in a cell phone conversation using a “smart phone”. The cell phone was positioned 1-2 inches from the head, and conversations lasted for 3 minutes. The second set of sessions was conducted exactly the same way, the only difference was that the cell phone had an attached piece of composition material (plastic), infused with subtle energy pattern created with the help of VFT for normalization of brain functions. Fig. 7.5: QEEG brain mapping diagrams: male and female baselines Fig. 7.6: Cell phone radiation’s impact on the frontal lobe (left) and effect of “Transformer” energy pattern in points F7 and FP1 (right) Page 12 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 Fig. 7.6 (left) presents example of cell phone radiation’s impact on the frontal lobe. It is more than 3 SD above normal in the big part of the frontal lobe. This area includes points F7 and FP1 (left frontal lobe) – according to QEEG system of classification. Excessive activity in this region of the brain may cause problems with working memory – visual and auditory functions, divided and selective attention filtering, and semantic short-term memory buffer dealing with word retrieval. It also deals with verbal expression, speech fluency, and cognitive mood regulation. The elevation of neuronal activity using the cell phone at FP1 (left frontal lobe) and F7, suggests that an individual may have a lack of flexibility of logical attention and verbal expression. Figure 7.6 (right) shows that presence of plastic infused with specific energy pattern (“Transformer”) normalizes electrical brain activity in points F7 and FP1. Figure 7.7 (left) presents example of over excitation of the right frontal lobe that includes points F8 and FP2. This may present problems with working memory – spatial and visual, gestalt (configuring objects and experience), processing facial emotional expressions, possible problems with sustained attention. The elevation of neuronal activity using the cell phone at FP2 suggests that an individual may have less efficiency emotional attention and verbal expression. As you can see from figure 7.7 (right), the presence of energy pattern “Transformer” normalizes amplitudes in points of F8 and FP2 as well. Results that we just discussed are coming from pilot research and a lot of work needs to be done in this totally new area of knowledge about the effects of electromagnetic radiation on human brain’s functions. Nevertheless, these results show possibilities for using appropriately organized Fig. 7.7: Cell phone radiation’s impact on the frontal lobe (left) and effect of “Transformer” energy pattern in points F8 and FP2 (right) Page 13 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 subtle energy patterns to counteract negative effects produced by external electromagnetic radiation on electrical brain activity. Long term effect of this new type of environmental pollution is largely unknown, and the results of experiments on animals and observation of the effects on humans that are coming from independent sources are very alarming. We need to take into account that electromagnetic radiation is bombarding our bodies now 24/7 with the power growing every year. The earlier we start taking measures aiming to find ways to diminish the negative influence of EM radiation on our organisms, the better off we and future human generations will be. I strongly believe that all initial results of using subtle energy for fighting with harmful effects of energetic environmental pollution give us hope that tools protecting our future can be created. Let us now summarize what we learned from experiments showing effects of energetically polluted environment. 1. An energetically polluted environment can drastically diminish the effect of energy healing. We need to note here that it is logical to assume that energetic environmental condition can affect practically any healing modality, not just various energy healing therapies. Indeed, effectiveness of the energetic system – “software” of the body – regulating physiological processes, definitely depends on the external energy influence and can be damaged by “dirty” environmental energy. It is important to remember that, according to experiments of Dr. Jones, which we discussed today, energetic pollution might be coming not only from electromagnetic and chemical sources, but also as a result of emotional distress. Now we can understand why energy healers of various schools are often use traditional methods of cleansing environment like, for instance, burning sage. 2. Special protective and cleaning energies are able to dramatically increase healing effects. This suggests a new method for improving the effectiveness of various healing modalities. 3. Subtle energy can be programmed for specific purposes by the trained human mind, as well as with the help of technology like VFT equipment. The latter indicates that subtle energy is an energy belonging to the universe, like electromagnetic energy. You know that many people working in the area of energy medicine are talking about energies of the human body as a “biofield”. I hope that you can see now that energy acting in the human Page 14 of 14 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 7 body is of the same nature as subtle energy in the whole universe. The difference between energetic processes in various living organisms and inanimate matter is only in the “informational content” of their energy pattern. 4. The “intent” of the human mind can be technologically captured and reproduced, proving that the subtle energy field records and carries the information content of the “intent.” Here we are coming to a possible explanation for the mechanism of the “placebo effect” and the “biology of belief.” You remember that the carriers of the Subtle Energy programmed by the mind were liquid minerals. These minerals were serving as carriers of subtle energy pattern that was recorded by Vital Force Technology and used in experiments on healing cells damaged by radiation or for cleansing the environment. Our experiments show that energy patterns imprinted into minerals have a very long “shelf life” (many years, in fact). What it indicates is that intense and repeated thoughts might program SE patterns and imprint them into our body, which is 70% composed of water with minerals. Of course, other tissues of the body also might be carriers of the energetic patterns. These energetic programs might significantly affect our biological functions. Taking all of these facts into account we can conclude that ancient’s beliefs in such phenomena as “curse” might not be as ridiculous as the majority of people think. Another conclusion that logically follows when we realize the ability of our mind to program subtle energy effects on inanimate matter and living organisms is the necessity to discipline and carefully control our thinking process. This is one more example of reality and practical importance of ancient knowledge about the power of the human mind, reflected in sophisticated mental exercises of such systems as yoga. Our conclusion about the role of subtle energy as a carrier of “intent” also is applicable to the “placebo” effect: the healing intent of a patient’s mind can have a significant influence on the outcome of treatment. Training patients to consciously program and direct subtle energy to the problematic area in their body or to enhance the effectiveness of remedies might convert the placebo phenomenon into a powerful healing modality. attachment_11 Page 1 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 SUBTLE ENERGY 101 LECTURE 5 – Working with Subtle Energy. Technological Way of Harnessing Subtle Energy. In this lecture, first of all, we will review in detail everything we’ve learned about subtle energy, its properties, and its ways of interacting with physical matter, and we’ll follow that with an exploration of the possibilities for practically working with subtle energy. When we say “working with subtle energy,” we, of course, mean that it would be good to find ways to harness subtle energy using the methodologies of modern science as a guide. We will see that our picture of the interaction between subtle energy and atomic matter gives us a hint about how this can be accomplished. Then, we will look at how technologically generated subtle energy can be used for rigorous scientific research that clearly supports the model of interaction between subtle energy and physical substance we just mentioned. To begin, let us review the following picture (Fig. 5.1), which presents in graphic form all of the features of subtle energy we have discussed until now. When we analyze this illustration, a number of conclusions can be made. We have already discussed part of this information in the previous lectures, but as they say in Russia: “Repetition is the mother of learning.” 1) Subtle energy is a part of the spectrum of the energy field that acts in the world of “subatomic” particles, which modern science calls “dark matter.” Ancient seers called this pre-physical world “etheric.” This world, according to scientific calculations, occupies 96% of observed universe. 2) Subtle energy does not interact with electrical charge. As a result, it cannot be measured with electronic equipment currently used by modern science for measurements of electromagnetic energy. Fig. 5.1. Features of Subtle Energy. Page 2 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 The interaction of subtle energy with our physical universe happens through primal particles that belong to the subatomic world and are “ultimate physical atoms” of the physical/chemical world, which we are a part of. These primal particles are subquarks, speaking in the language of modern science, elements which scientists are still trying to detect, but which have been observed by the great seers, Anne Besant and Charles Leadbeater, more than a hundred years ago. 3) Changing the distribution of subquarks in the nuclei of atoms that comprise all physical substances, various patterns of subtle energy can produce a wide spectrum of change in properties of those substances. First of all, specific subtle energy patterns may strongly change the energetic pattern of a substance. Other changes might range from the altering of chemical activity to an increase or decrease in the radioactive decay rate. The latter means that subtle energy can even alter fundamental forces of the physical world that are considered by modern science as being unchangeable. 4) The world from which subtle energy enters physical substances—the subatomic or etheric world—has very different laws than the physical/atomic/electromagnetic world. It might be even more than three-dimensional—and modern science admits this possibility in various theories of subatomic particles. This is why all theories that try to describe subtle energy as a “by-product” of the interplay of the physical world forces—for example, “scalar (electromagnetic) waves,” or the result of spin- spin interactions (“torsion fields”)—are not able to explain the numerous, truly amazing properties of subtle energy. To say nothing of the ability of subtle energy to follow commands of the human mind: how is it possible to include this property of subtle energy into mathematical equations? 5) What we’ve discussed so far resonates very well with the picture of the universe’s development presented by ancient cosmologies. As it was mentioned before, according to these cosmologies the universe is constructed of a sequence of worlds. The substance and energies of each of them are created from the previous, more subtle world. This creation happens via the interaction of energies of the “parental” world with its substance, resulting in the formation of a “grosser” substance. And energies of a “newborn” world are created by means of intercommunication of the energies of the parental world with the substance of the “grosser” new world. As we look carefully at the process of creation of the atomic world, following from the observations of Besant and Leadbeater, and the scientific interpretation of their results by Dr. Page 3 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 Phillips, we indeed see a direct correlation with the picture presented by ancient cosmologies. That is, “ultimate physical atoms “(UPAs)/sub-quarks, the fundamental particles comprising all substance of the physical world, are created from a substance “of inconceivable tenuity” (Leadbeater and Besant, Occult Chemistry 1950, p.13) from the presiding world by “life force”— energy of that world. The flow and interaction of the “life force” with UPAs forms electrical and “colorful” charges (Phillips 1980, p.62), responsible for the appearance in the physical/atomic world of fundamental forces shaping it: electromagnetic, strong, and weak. UPAs also provide our 3-D world with some part of the energy spectrum of the previous world, that affects all living organisms—that is what we call here “subtle energy.” How does subtle energy affect living organisms? And, what is particularly interesting for us, how does it influence human organisms? One of the mechanisms of this influence obviously follows from what we discussed earlier about subtle energy properties. Since subtle energy can influence the course of chemical reactions, as was demonstrated by the experiments of Chinese scientists and many other frontier researchers, subtle energy can affect bio-chemical reactions in the human body. Many important conclusions that can affect our lives follow from this fact. For instance: since the food we eat consists of substances possessing certain subtle energy patterns, those patterns might influence the process of digestion. As we discussed in previous lectures, energetic patterns of substances can be altered by external energy. This means that the same zucchini squash, grown in a different energetic environment, might have a different effect on the body. Later, we will discuss experiments on growing wheat grass in water infused with technologically generated subtle energy patterns. These experiments demonstrated that even the taste of the juice made from infused wheat grass was dramatically different—ranging from being bitter to sweet—depending on what subtle energy pattern was used. If we remind ourselves that the human mind is also capable of influencing the actions of subtle energy, then we need to admit that the expression, “The best food is food made with love,” is more than just nice words. In fact, we will soon discuss some experiments demonstrating that a properly trained mind can very noticeably change the properties of substances and affect the course of physical phenomena. And I would add that you don’t need to be a Qi-gong master like Dr. Yan Xin to learn how to use your mind to direct the actions of subtle energy. Now, we need to note here that the effects of subtle energy on the human body by means of changing the properties of substances is not the only way in which subtle energy can influence Page 4 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 the human organism. Certainly, the human organism, as we have already discussed, has more subtle components than the physical body. Acupuncture meridians and energy centers (“chakras”) are parts of the “subtle body” that ancients called the “etheric body.” As we saw in the previous lecture, this part of the human organism, which is closest to the physical body, is still accessible for some experiments and measurements with existing scientific equipment, though such experiments are not simple and demand real ingenuity. The experiments of Dr. Jones belong to this kind of experimentation, and they suggest that acupuncture meridians might be made of the material of the subatomic (etheric) world. Given that modern science’s methods cannot help us to answer the question of whether or not there are other parts of the human structure even more subtle than the material of the acupuncture meridians, we can choose to be open-minded and take into account the experience and observations of those old-time researchers, who admittedly did not have the tools of modern science, but perfected the abilities of the “human instrument” to investigate nature. The 38 years of research conducted by Besant and Leadbeater is a good example of what the trained human mind can achieve when methodically investigating incredibly sophisticated questions about the structure of subatomic particles, which are the basic particles of the physical world. In addition to this research, Besant and Leadbeater spent a considerable amount of time on clairvoyant observations of the interaction between the human body and the energy and substance of the subatomic/etheric world. Results of their observations confirm the picture of the human organism’s structure depicted by ancient seers. According to this picture, substances and energies of all pre-physical — “subtle worlds” — are presented in the human organism as “subtle bodies” (Fig 5.2). Each of the subtle bodies Fig. 5.2. Human Subtle Bodies. Page 5 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 interacts with a particular system of the physical body: the “mental body” with the brain, the “astral body” with the nervous system, while the “etheric body” is a final conduit of the influence of the “programs” embedded in the subtle bodies, which—according to Leadbeater and Besant, as well as ancient traditions such as traditional Chinese medicine—regulate the functions of the physical body, including its physiology. I would like to mention here that many modern “seers”—gifted people who have devoted themselves to the description and analysis of the structure and functioning of the human’s subtle bodies—have also confirmed this ancient knowledge about the subtle body structure of the human organism. In the literature recommended for this course, you will find books by Barbara Brennan, Donna Eden, Rosalyn Bruyere and Cyndi Dale. The most important book for our discussion, though, is that of Arthur E. Powell, The Etheric Double and Allied Phenomena. In this book, Powell compiled materials from various publications of Charles Leadbeater. I recommend this book to anyone who is using energy medicine in their practice, to help advance their understanding of the workings of subtle energy in the human body. Other books by Powell include, The Astral Body, The Mental Body, and The Causal Body. I think these would also be very useful for a better understanding of the psychological and mental processes in humans. The important conclusion to draw from all the information we have been overviewing today is that subtle energy influences the human organism, not only through substances comprising the physical body, but also in a more direct way by affecting the energetic structure of the human system – the so-called “subtle bodies.” These “bodies” are conduits of both the cosmic and the more local energetic environments, all of which impact our lives and all living organisms on earth. The final conduit transforming energetic influences coming from more subtle bodies into energetic signals directly affecting our physiology is the “etheric body” (see Powell’s The Etheric Double), which, as we saw, includes acupuncture meridians and energy centers – “chakras” in the Indian yogi’s terminology. The ancient Chinese and Indian medicine practitioners were perfectly aware of the importance of the etheric body’s role in human health – this is why they developed such modalities as acupuncture and energy–techniques (like Tai Chi, Qi-gong, etc.) for regulating the energy flow in the body. Again, we can clearly see the advantage of using people who have trained their “human instrument” (or have innate abilities) for investigating the part of reality that is inaccessible to the electromagnetism–based equipment of modern science. While today’s science considers “dark Page 6 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 matter” (96% of the universe) as some homogenous world of hitherto unknown subatomic particles, having nothing to do with living organisms, seers do see it as a sequence of progressively subtle worlds of substances and energies, having highly sophisticated structures, and both directly and indirectly participating in the various processes and functions of all organisms living in our physical world. Now, let us come back to Figure 5.1 and discuss what other conclusions we can make from analyzing it. So far, we have reviewed only one direction of the interactions between subtle energy and physical matter – the influences of subtle energy on physical/chemical substances’ properties. Let us now try to see how energy of the physical world – electromagnetic energy – can indirectly influence subtle energy. For that, let us look at the pathways of interactions presented at the lower part of the picture. We can conclude that the subtle energy patterns of substances, transmitted by their subquarks (“ultimate physical atoms”, UPAs), can be influenced by electromagnetic vibrations. This happens because of the electrical charge residing in quarks, which are comprised from the UPAs. And electrons, according to Dr. Phillips’ analysis, being just different states of the superstring, also carry an electrical charge, as well as “whorls;” (Fig. 5.3) the former interacts with the electromagnetic field, while the latter interacts (though in a very different way) with subtle energy. Accordingly, vibrations of an electrically charged particle stimulated by an external Fig. 5.3. Ultimate Physical Atoms (Phillips 1980, p. 13) Page 7 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 electromagnetic wave can change the interaction of “whorls” with the subtle energy (though in a nonlinear way), resulting in some changes of the subtle energy pattern of the substance. When I say “in a nonlinear way,” I mean that the vibration in the subtle energy field does not necessarily repeat the characteristics of the electromagnetic vibration, including frequency. Thus, electromagnetic vibrations created in our physical world can influence energy fields of the subatomic/etheric world and, consequently, processes happening in that world. This deduction is in compliance with numerous ancient cosmologies, which assert that each world in the universe is energetically connected with parental and offspring worlds, though their connection and communication is very sophisticated and happens via energy transformations. Energy transformation in the “opposite direction” – from the physical world to the subatomic/etheric world, does not happen so easily. If we subject a neutral substance – such as water – to electromagnetic vibrations, it will not produce noticeable changes in the conditions of electrons and protons comprising the atoms of the substance (unless the power of the electromagnetic vibrations reaches that of the ionizing magnitude). Because this energy transformation can effectively happen only under special conditions, the effect of atomic matter on the subatomic world is presented as a thin yellow arrow in Fig. 5.1. Such conditions can be achieved when a substance is in the state of electron-ion plasma – called the “forth state” of the matter – which can be created, for instance, by an electrical discharge in a gaseous medium. Electrically charged electrons and ions are free-moving in plasma and can be strongly affected by electromagnetic vibrations. As a result, “whorls” of “ultimate physical atoms” (UPAs), the smallest constituents of an ionized substance, can transmit vibrations into a subtle energy pattern delivered by atoms and ions of the gas. In other words, electromagnetic vibrations can change the subtle energy pattern of the gas used. This effect can be applied for creating subtle energy patterns for different scientific or practical applications. Although what is suggested above—a picture of the interaction between electromagnetic energy and subtle energy—is a hypothetical one, the experimental facts we will discuss below unquestionably prove the existence of this interaction. The generation of subtle energy patterns by an electromagnetically controlled plasma of ionized gasses More than 20 years ago, I began to experiment with the generation of subtle energy patterns using an electron-ion plasma, which was created, as it was said before, by an electrical discharge Page 8 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 in various gasses. Vibration of the plasma and control of the parameters of the vibration were performed by specifically designed electronic equipment. Depending on the plasma content and the type of its vibration, the equipment generates subtle energy with different properties. Subtle energy emanating from the generator was filtered from electromagnetic vibrations created by the plasma, so that electromagnetic noise in the subtle energy propagated beyond the filtration device was greatly diminished (more than 60 dB). Throughout the experimentation with this equipment (Fig. 5.4) (named “Vital Force Technology” or VFT), I discovered various methods for creating subtle energy patterns. A detailed description of these methods is beyond the scope of this course, as we are not in a class about technological methods used for the formulation of subtle energy patterns. This is a course about subtle energy properties and their beneficial use. But to have as much clarity as possible about the effects of subtle energy we are analyzing here, we will describe some of the methods for creating subtle energy patterns used in the corresponding experiment (Fig.5.5). Here is an example of one of those methods. HOW “PHANTOM ATOM” ENERGY PATTERNS WERE CREATED I have been greatly intrigued by the challenge of creating energetic counterparts of the cornerstones of our physical world: atoms of the periodic table of elements. As I thought of this possibility, I remembered a principle of ancient cosmology: “lower worlds” are created by multiple divisions of frequencies of all vibrations in “upper worlds” by two. Fig. 5.4. Vital Force Technology. Page 9 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 One thing we know about the vibrational characteristics of atoms is the frequency of the transition of their electrons from one energetic level (“orbit”) to another (Fig. 5.6). Those frequencies are located within the range of light frequencies—infrared, visible or ultraviolet. An important characteristic of electronic transitions is the “intensity” characterizing how strongly they interact with light waves. Combining the above-mentioned principle of ancient cosmology with modern experimental data on frequencies and intensities of electronic transitions in atoms, I created energetic blueprints related to many atoms with the help of the Vital Force Technology (VFT) generator. I accomplished this by applying several even sub-harmonics of electronic transitions to modulate plasma that was generating subtle energy. Fig. 5.6. Atom emitting photon when an electron jumps from one orbit to another. Fig. 5.5. Page 10 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 For this purpose, I used frequencies of the most intense transitions, choosing their sub- harmonics belonging to the range of audible sound frequencies. It is interesting to note that energetic “phantom atoms” created using the above principles, when being tested by many professional health care practitioners, demonstrated effects on the human body similar to effects known for their chemical counterparts. For example, the “phantom atom” for lithium was found to work against depression; the energy pattern related to germanium was reported to help the immune system; and the pattern related to oxygen was said to help assimilate more oxygen for people walking at high altitudes. All of these reports open the door for previously unimagined possibilities for using “phantom atom” patterns in the field of energy medicine—that is, to replace (or diminish the amount of) chemical elements used for treatment, and thus avoid their side effects. A good example of this is lithium, used in modern medicine as a strong anti-depressant, but which is also known to have a significant negative effect on the liver. The method of generating “phantom atoms”, as we mentioned above, is just one of many methods I am currently using. The following are examples of other methods used for creating subtle energy patterns. A. Generating subtle energy (SE) patterns with properties described by Traditional Chinese Medicine as “elements”: fire, earth, metal, water and wood, by determining the appropriate frequency ranges of plasma vibrations and the proper parameters of the plasma. It is well known in acupuncture science that each of the acupuncture meridians possesses specific “elemental” qualities. Therefore, using electro-acupuncture measuring equipment, based on Dr. Reinhard Voll’s methodology (EAV devices), it is possible to determine major elemental qualities of SE patterns by testing their effects on various acupuncture meridians. The efficacy of subtle energy patterns generated by VFT with particular elemental properties has been confirmed by many practitioners using different systems of the EAV devices. B. Part of the VFT used for reproducing SE patterns is also capable of copying the SE pattern of any substance (gems, herbs, essential oils, etc.) with great purity, due to the technology’s effective suppression of the electromagnetic noise, also mentioned above. We will be describing along the way some of the additional methods, including the recording of the subtle energy patterns of healers, as well as patterns produced while one is Page 11 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 5 pronouncing affirmations, mantras, prayers and so on. We will do so when we discuss experiments related to the effects of these therapeutic or consciousness-expanding actions. All of these listed properties of VFT have allowed us to create a “library” of SE patterns, which can be further used as constituents of more sophisticated subtle energy patterns that we will call here “VFT formulas.” For example, one of these complex formulas in the VFT library is “GI Aid.” It combines a subtle energy pattern that helps digestion--created according to Traditional Chinese Medicine rules--with patterns related to chromium and vanadium, both known for helping blood sugar regulation. Since SE patterns can be recorded and reproduced by VFT equipment, it opens up virtually limitless possibilities–including ones that never existed before–for rigorous scientific research into the properties and effects of subtle energy. The ability to repeat the same energy pattern as many times as needed allows us to satisfy all of the requirements of modern science, regarding the stability and repeatability of experimental conditions. While I plan to publish a book on the technical principles behind Vital Force Technology, in this course we will discuss the experimental results observed with subtle energy patterns created using VFT. One of the main purposes of these discussions is to remove the veil of elusiveness from the image of subtle energy, and show that its multifaceted effects on inanimate objects and living organisms confirm the reality of the title given to it by ancients: “the life force.” Another purpose is to experimentally demonstrate the ability of the human mind to “program” actions of subtle energy that can explain such phenomena as the power of prayers, laying on of hands, distant healing (Koopman and Blasband 2002), and many other “paranormal” effects. attachment_12 Page 1 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 SUBTLE ENERGY 101 LECTURE 4 – Interaction of Subtle Energy with the Physical World’s Substances “Even the glowing grin of the Cheshire Cat implies something else, some larger reality that supports it. Saying that it all gets down to cells and molecules and atoms and quarks, nothing else, seems to leave something out.” Donald Skiff (“The Cheshire Cat” 11/27/07; http://donskiff.com/cheshire_cat.htm) As we discussed in the first lecture, it is very important for those who repeatedly deal with the subtle energy, whether for research purposes or using energy medicine tools, to know possible way (or ways) of interaction of this immeasurable energy with physical matter. Knowledge of the mechanisms of this interaction, even if it is just a hypothetical one, may allow us to plan experiments and explain features of observed phenomena. Obviously, if we will be able to explain all observed facts, it would indicate accuracy of the suggested mechanism of the subtle energy’s interaction with matter. As we discussed in the previous lecture, the research results of Dr. Lu Zuyin with Dr. Yan Xin have established a credible foundation for the conclusion that subtle energy interacts with the subatomic particles that comprise our entire physical universe, and that subtle energy belongs to and acts in the subatomic world. Therefore, in order for us to make assumptions about feasible models of interaction between subtle energy and the atoms comprising the substances of our world, it is necessary to determine the elementary particles that might be responsible for such interaction. This means that we are looking for subatomic particles that are playing a role in the relationships between atoms and subtle energy, similar to the role that particles bearing electrical charge play in the relationships of atoms with the electromagnetic field. We also need to remember that all electrically charged particles are not only “receptors” of the electromagnetic field (which means that they react to changes of the electromagnetic field), but they are also the source of it (for instance, the vibration of an electrically charged particle produces an electromagnetic wave). Analogously, we need to determine the elementary particles that might be responsible for “delivering” the subtle energy in our three-dimensional world (i.e., the “source” of subtle energy), and at the same time, be “receptors” of the subtle energy responsible for the effect of it on atomic substances. As we discussed in the previous lecture, there is evidence that subtle energy might affect quarks and/or http://donskiff.com/cheshire_cat.htm Page 2 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 subquarks inside the nucleus of any atom. Thus, subquarks can be candidates for this role; but mainstream science does not yet have any evidence of subquarks’ existence. Consequently, we need to carefully investigate what lies beyond the borders of regular science. Below, we will discuss extraordinary research that can help us answer many questions about possible ways subtle energy interacts with our world. The authors of this unusual research were Annie Besant (1847-1933), the long-time president of the Theosophical Society, and Charles W. Leadbeater (1854-1934), a former presiding Bishop of the Liberal Catholic Church and a fellow theosophist (Fig. 4.1). They applied an ancient “power of mind” technique to investigate the structure of atoms—a technique developed by the 2nd-century B.C. sage, Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras, the most heralded classical text from the yoga school of Indian philosophy. “Frequent reference is made in the extensive literature of Indian yoga to extraordinary mental abilities (“siddhis”) that may be acquired through the practice of yoga… In Aphorism 3.26 of the Sutras1, it is stated that the yogi can acquire ‘knowledge of the small, the hidden or the 1 Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali, translated S. by Prabhavananda and C. Isherwood, in How to Know God (London: Allen and Unwin, 1953); also, The Science of Yoga, by I.K. Taimni (Adyar, Madras, India: Theosophical Publishing House, 1965). Annie Besant (1847-1933) President of the Theosophical Society Charles W. Leadbeater (1854-1934) Presiding Bishop of the Liberal Catholic Church Fig. 4.1 Prominent Frontier Researchers Page 3 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 distant by directing the light of superphysical faculty.’ The yogi can develop an inner organ of perception that displays ‘knowledge of the small’ in a visual form… The experience of a person in this state… is characterized by a vivid, subjective sense of actually being in the microcosmos, of being suspended in space amid particles in great dynamical activity. (Phillips 1980) The form of investigation they used could be called, in the light of modern research, “remote viewing of the microscopic world.” Leadbeater had been trained by Indian spiritual masters to develop this special form of “magnifying clairvoyance,” and he taught this technique to Besant, who later visited Leadbeater’s teachers in India to receive additional training. Let us look at some results observed by the authors of that research, long before our current science of physics had any idea about the existence of quarks. In 1907, these researchers discovered mass variations of atoms of neon, argon, krypton, xenon and platinum, which meant that an element of the periodic table could have atoms with different atomic masses. Six years later, physicists discovered this phenomenon and gave the name “isotopes” to chemically identical atoms with different quantities of neutrons in the nucleus. Several elements of the periodic table were described—with their correct atomic weights— that were not known to science, at the time; they were eventually discovered, only years later! (See Table. 4.1) One of the most amazing results of these researchers’ studies, which started at the end of the 19th century, was their discovery of the particle (which science later named “proton”) that consists of three smaller particles, two of the same kind and one different (Fig. 4.2). We now know that those small particles are two “up” and one “down” quarks. Scientific confirmation of the Table 4.1 Elements discovered by Besant and Leadbeater Years before Western Science Element# Scientific Name Published by Besant & Leadbeater Discovered by Science 87 Francium 1932 1939 85 Astatine 1932 1940 43 Technetium 1932 1937 61 Promethium 1909 1945 Page 4 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 existence of protons was completed in 1913. The existence of quarks was theoretically proposed in 1964 and experimentally confirmed in the mid- 1990’s, almost one hundred years after the research we are discussing here. Moreover, these visionary authors described particles we now call “quarks” as triplets consisting of two constituents, one “positive” and one “negative,” which they called “ultimate physical atoms” (UPAs) (See Fig. 4.3). In other words, they stated that, as a proton consists of a triplet of two quarks (which modern science later established), so, quarks themselves are made of triplets of two subquarks. That is exactly what current physicists consider as a possibility, although there is still no experimental proof of it . Fig. 4.2 A particle discovered by Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater Fig. 4.3. Ultimate Physical Atoms (Phillips 1980, p. 13) Page 5 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 Before going into a more detailed analysis of how “ultimate physical atoms” can help us to suggest a hypothetical model of possible influences subtle energy produces upon the physical world, let us briefly review the authors of the research mentioned above and the methodologies they used. During the 38 years of their joint research, Besant and Leadbeater “observed” and described the structure of 111 atoms (among them were fourteen isotopes), 29 inorganic and 22 organic compounds. The results of their studies were first published in the journal of the Theosophical Society in 1895 and later compiled in three editions of their book, Occult Chemistry (1908, 1919, and 1951). At the early part of the twentieth century, when Besant and Leadbeater were conducting their research, science was still quite far away from discovering the internal structure of the atomic nucleus. We need to remember that even the existence of the neutron was experimentally confirmed only in 1932, just two years before the death of Leadbeater. Thus, even if some open- minded scientists had been present around the time of their research and would have been willing to interpret their results, such an insightful, far-reaching observation would have been virtually impossible to verify. The idea that protons and neutrons are not the ultimate particles of the physical universe had not yet been born, and the existence of smaller particles—constituents of the proton and neutron—would be unimaginable for scientists of that time (not to mention Besant’s and Leadbeater’s ultimate physical atoms/subquarks). Throughout the nearly four decades of the extraordinary research they conducted, Besant and Leadbeater always observed UPAs as fundamental, indivisible constituents of physical matter. Perhaps even more significantly, they saw these rotating and vibrating UPAs as being made of ten non-touching, closed curves, which they called “whorls.” The whorls in the “positive” UPA spiral in a clockwise direction, while those in the “negative” UPA spiral in a counter- clockwise direction (Fig 4.3). Each whorl consists of seven coils (“spirillae”). Besant and Leadbeater even depicted how these coils would wind around each other! (Fig. 4.4) Fig. 4.4. Toroidal winding of 5th-, 6th-, and 7th-order “spirillae” (Occult Chemistry, Third Edition). Page 6 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 Nowadays, it is common to hear about the “superstring” theory of subatomic particles. According to this theory, all elementary particles are different harmonics of the vibration of tiny “strings” embedded into the homogeneous “Higgs field” filling the whole universe (therefore, no real vacuum or “absence of anything” ever exists). Now, let us look at Besant’s and Leadbeater’s whorls, which they determined were present in all UPAs—don’t they look like some kind of curved strings? Of course, to accurately interpret information and images presented by these two pioneering researchers, one has to be a nuclear physicist. Fortunately, an open-minded physicist in England, Dr. Steven M. Phillips, has undertaken a brilliant and scrupulous scientific analysis of their book, Occult Chemistry, and has presented the results in his books, the most recent of them being ESP of Quarks and Superstrings. (Phillips 1999) Let us look at some of his conclusions. The rigorous and thorough analysis accomplished by Dr. Phillips shows that UPAs are actually subquarks, the existence of which are currently assumed by modern physics, and the whorls observed by Besant and Leadbeater are constituents of the superstring. Dr. Phillips states, “The UPA is the subquark state of the superstring made up of TEN 26-dimensional strings, i.e., the superstring is itself a composite object.” Thus, a “superstring” is a much more complex construction than existing theories are currently considering. If this is, indeed, true, it seems unrealistic to expect that the “theory of everything” will be achieved in the near future, as today’s scientists expect. It should be noted, here, that these two researchers not only observed and described the structure of subquarks, decades ahead of any theorizing about such matters, they also described the forces acting between them as “lines of force” flowing into the heart-shaped depression at the top of a positive or a negative UPA and emanating from their pointed end. According to their observations, these lines of force bind together UPAs in many different configurations (Fig 4.5). For a comparison let us Fig. 4.5. Examples of hydrogen triplets (quarks) observed in the free (unconfined) state. (Phillips 1999, p. 63) Page 7 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 look at what string model suggest for connections between quarks that create various particles (Fig.4.6). The force that is responsible for binding quarks together, according to modern science, is the so-called “colorful force,” the existence of which was theoretically suggested by Oscar W. Greenberg in 1964 (Greenberg 1964), in an attempt to explain all the peculiarities of the interactions between quarks. According to this “quantum chromodynamics” theory, quarks, along with an electrical charge, carry a “color charge,” which can be of three qualities: “red”, “green” or “blue”. The fact that Besant and Leadbeater identified what appears to be the string structure of subquark combinations provides evidence that they were actually observing what much later became known as “colorful” force. Certainly, this is a radical notion, but the “proof” is in what they have clearly described and illustrated. Thus, Besant and Leadbeater confirmed basic ideas of the “string model” more than 50 years before its creation! If all of the above, which conveys significant evidence for what the “human instrument” can achieve, is not enough to boggle your mind, think about this: to observe the internal structure of atoms, Besant and Leadbeater, using the power of their minds, must have had to disintegrate atoms down to the subquark level, and then “dissect” subquarks to see superstrings. This means that they overpowered the strong force that holds protons and neutrons together in a nucleus. The strong force is of the four fundamental forces known to science. In his most recent book, Dr. Phillips writes about this phenomenon: “Does this therefore mean that, by the application of psychokinetic forces to individual subatomic particles, Besant managed what powerful atom- smashing machines may only now be starting to accomplish, namely, reproducing the extremely hot conditions of the early universe by causing the transformation from nuclear matter made up of Fig. 4.6 Bound states of quarks according to string theory. (Phillips 1999, p. 33) Page 8 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 distinct three-quark bound states (nucleons) to a plasma of free quarks? There seems no alternative explanation of her disintegration diagrams.” Interestingly, “atom smashing machines,” like the famous Hadron Collider outside of Geneva, Switzerland, cost billions of dollars; in comparison to this, the “human instrument” is almost free. You can likely imagine how different our science would be, now, if only scientists had the courage to seriously consider the results of Besant and Leadbeater’s research, and Dr. Phillips’ analysis of their observations. Unfortunately, today’s scientists are scared of the word “ESP,” extrasensory perception, or they have not given credence to those studies which have provided scientific evidence for the wide-reaching “power of the mind.” Instead, most have gotten used to believing only what instruments perceive, and they simply don’t believe in the potential of human perception. A thorough discussion of all aspects of the observations made by Besant and Leadbeater, deep inside the subatomic world, as well as Dr. Phillips’ comprehensive scientific analysis of their results, is beyond the scope of this course. Here, we will concentrate on the main features and properties of the UPAs, the ultimate physical atoms, established as a result of their observations and Dr. Phillips’ analyses. A basic understanding of these will be important for achieving the goal we are pursuing, namely to suggest a feasible hypothesis for a mechanism of interaction between subtle energy and physical matter. Main features of UPAs and the forces acting through them The two UPAs, positive and negative, have been described by Besant and Leadbeater as “alike in everything save the direction of their whorls and of the force which pours through them. In the one case, force pours in from the outside from fourth-dimensional space, the astral plane, and passing through the UPA, pours into the physical world. In the second, it pours in from the physical world, and out through the UPA, into the outside again, i.e., vanishes from the physical world. The one is like a spring from which water bubbles out; the other is like a hole, into which water disappears.” (Leadbeater and Besant Third Edition)2 Dr. Phillips’ analysis of the UPAs and their interactions allows him to make a statement: “In the modern terminology of fluid mechanics and particle physics, positive and negative UPAs 2 In Occult Chemistry, 3rd edition (p. 13), the authors referred to UPAs as “Anu.” For the sake of consistency, we have replaced the name “Anu” with the name “UPA” in all quotes. Page 9 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 are, respectively, ‘sources’ and ‘sinks’ of hypercolor gauge forces, i.e., respectively, positive and negative magnetic monopoles;” In other words, UPAs are magnetic monopoles predicted by superstring theory that current science is still looking for. According to Dr. Phillips’ analysis, some components of the force “pouring” through UPAs (and connecting them, and thus all physical matter with higher dimensional Multiverse) create a “strong force” responsible for the existence of all periodic table elements. Consequently, they are responsible for the existence of all chemicals comprising our world; that is, the “physical basis” of the Multiverse. Now, what about the energy field that the ancients throughout the world have called “life force” and which we, here, call “subtle energy”? Is there some connection between UPAs and this force? In the Leadbeater-Besant book, Occult Chemistry, they write: “The UPA can scarcely be said to be a ‘thing,’, though it is the material out of which all things physical are composed. It is formed by the flow of the life force and vanishes with its ebb. The life force is… the force of which all the physical plane forces are differentiations. When this force arises in “space”--the apparent void which must be filled with substance of some kind, of inconceivable tenuity–-UPA appears:” (Leadbeater and Besant Third Edition, p. 13). In other words, “life force” coming from another, more dimensional pre-physical world, create cornerstone of the physical world (subquarks in terms of modern science) from substance of pre-physical ‘astral” world. This observation of Leadbeter & Besant is in resonance with the ancient picture of sequential creation of “grosser” worlds from more subtle ones. As we can see from Dr. Phillip’s analysis, differentiation of the energy that Besant and Leadbeater define as “life force” into the “physical plane forces” happens by means of the interaction of that force with the UPAs. What is important to realize is that the “life force” of Eastern medicine and philosophy, which is held to be responsible for the support of all life, should definitely be only a small part of the “spectrum” of the immense force of the Multiverse that begets the whole physical universe by creating and maintaining the existence of ultimate physical atoms. This assumption about life force/subtle energy entering all physical substances and, therefore, the surrounding space, by means of vibrating whorls of ultimate physical atoms leads to a whole chain of conclusions about alleged properties of subtle energy and the laws of its interactions with other forces and with physical matter. Page 10 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 Though validity of this basic assumption obviously cannot be confirmed directly, we will discuss in following lectures some fundamental experimental facts about subtle energy that testify in favor of the reality of this assumption. Let us consider some consequences of this assumption regarding energetic properties of substances. Subtle energy signatures (patterns) of substances and their properties When we look at the nucleus of an atom as a combination of UPAs, each individual atom from this perspective looks like a big “molecule” made of many UPAs. For instance, the nucleus of oxygen consists of 16 protons and neutrons; each of these is made from 3 quarks, and each quark has 3 UPAs. Thus, oxygen’s nucleus contains 144 UPAs. The nucleus of gold, which has 197 protons and neutrons, contains 1,773 UPAs. If, as we discussed above, each UPA is a source (positive UPA) or sink (negative UPA) of subtle energy, then each atom presents a unique distribution of subtle energy flow, depending on the amount of positive and negative UPAs and their geometric configuration in the nucleus of a particular atom. In other words, each atom of the periodic table has its own unique subtle energy pattern. When atoms combine into molecules and/or crystal lattices, and create various substances, subtle energy (SE) patterns of those substances are even more sophisticated and unique. Accepting our hypothetical model, which states that UPAs are conduits of subtle energy from the Multiverse to the three-dimensional physical reality, leads us to identify the following general properties of SE patterns of substances: 1. Atoms within a substance work more as conduits of the subtle energy than they do as a source or capacitors of it. As a result, subtle energy behavior can appear very different from the behavior of the electrical field of the same substance (that is, the field created by electrically charged nuclei and electrons of its atoms). For instance, we cannot observe any “discharge” of a SE pattern of a substance, as the flow of the energy will continue until the substance is changed. A concrete example of this was mentioned in Chapter 1, regarding the catalytic converter in a car’s exhaust system, which uses platinum energy patterns to alter the chemical reactions within the exhaust gases. Later, in this course, we will present more experimental confirmations of this phenomenon. Page 11 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 2. External subtle energy can, under certain conditions, influence the configuration of UPAs inside the nuclei of atoms of a substance, which changes the SE flow distribution, naturally affecting the properties of the SE pattern of this substance. It is important to notice here that, since the total electrical charge of the nucleus stays unchanged, the alteration of a substance’s SE pattern can happen without any noticeable changes in the chemical properties of the substance. In other words, chemically identical substances can have noticeably different SE patterns. In following lectures, we will present experimental confirmation that specific subtle energy patterns technologically infused into substances can alter energetic properties of these substances. 3. It is possible that specific external SE patterns may change the behavior of whorls in UPAs, which might result in the change of the subquarks’ interactions. This can lead to the redistribution of electrical and “colorful” charges inside the nucleus—the former effect can alter electronic orbits in the atom, while the latter effect can influence the weak force. This makes it possible to explain why subtle energy is able to change the course of chemical reactions, as well as influence the electronic and vibrational spectrum of substances (Zuyin 1997, p. 137); (Swanson, Life Force, the Scientific Basis: Breakthrough Physics of Energy Medicine, Healing, Chi and Quantum Consciousness 2010, p. 86), (Smrz 1988). It also helps explain the altering of an isotope’s radioactive decay rate in the experiments conducted with Dr. Yan Xin, discussed in Chapter 1. It is important to recognize that the two researchers identified at the start of this lecture, Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater, were really the pioneers of “superstring theory,” preceding by many decades today’s nuclear physicists, who work with multi-billion-dollar atom-smashers to test the predictions of particle physics theories, all of which follow the lead provided by these two visionaries. In conclusion, we need to emphasize that the profound results achieved by Besant and Leadbeater in their “magnifying clairvoyance” observations of the subatomic structure of substances and the rigorous scientific analyses and interpretations of these results by Dr. Phillips opens, in my opinion, unimaginable horizons for science in the understanding of the workings of the universe and our human role in it. Page 12 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 All of the above discussed achievements also point to unprecedented possibilities for scientific research on and the interpretation of phenomena previously considered “mystical” or “superstitious.” The results of my research using technologically harnessed subtle energy, which had been inspired and directed by the material discussed above, will be presented in this course. We will see how “unusual phenomena”—at least from the viewpoint of mainstream science—which have been observed in a wide variety of experiments (including involvement of the human mind in the process of programming subtle energy effects) might be illuminated, explained, and practically used, with the help of the hypotheses presented above, regarding the interaction of subtle energy with physical matter. It is disappointing, yet true to say here that progress in the rigorous scientific investigation of this area—which is completely untouched, ignored and avoided by mainstream science—could be much faster if scientists would include in their research the possibility of using the “human instrument.” Such a possibility existed in the beginning of the 20th century, when some scientists were even members of the Theosophical Society and appreciated the research done by Besant and Leadbeater. Instead, however, the continuous pressure to confirm the existing scientific paradigm has led even leading-edge scientists to “conveniently” omit the contribution of the “human instrument,” in order to avoid embarrassment, ostracizing, termination of funding or loss of one’s position or career. The case of Francis Aston, a Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry, provides a telling example, as it is written in article “Occultism and the Atom: The Curious Story of Isotopes” by Jeff Hughes published in the Physics World, Sept. 2003. In 1913, after having discovered what he believed was a new element closely associated with neon, he announced his discovery in a paper delivered at the annual meeting of the British Association in Birmingham, England. In his address, Aston mentioned the relevance of work previously done by theosophists Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant. He stated the pair had used “theosophic methods entirely unintelligible to the mere student of physics” to determine the atomic weight of all the known elements and some unknown (at the time), one to which they ascribed an atomic weight of 22.33, which they called ‘Meta Neon.’ In fact, this is the name Aston chose for the new element he scientifically discovered had an atomic weight of 22 and which was closely related to neon (atomic weight = 20.2). Aston went on to receive the Nobel Prize in 1922 for his work with isotopes, but in his Nobel lecture and in a textbook he wrote that year, Aston, as Jeff Hughes said in his article, “reconstructed the history of his own work to make the link between neon-22 and isotopes seem Page 13 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 4 straightforward… dismissing the language of ‘meta-elements’… as a false path (and)… all reference to occult chemistry was eliminated.” Aston’s rewriting of scientific history disconnected his theory “from a set of ideas that he and his new mentors would have found embarrassing.” In just the same way, who knows how many significant discoveries have been marginalized by those scientists’ lacking commitment to the truth laid plainly before them? How many important findings are even now being suppressed because of the lack of truly open-minded scientific inquiry displayed by scientists like Francis Aston? One can only guess. attachment_2 (3) • IQUIM • / ► IW-606 • / ► Quizzes • / ► IW-606 - Midterm Exam • / ► Attempt 5 IW-606 - Subtle Energy IW-606 - Midterm Exam - Attempt 5 Question1 Marks: 1 Which of the following were early 20th century theosophists who introduced the idea behind the concepts of quarks and string theory before mainstream science?

The Relationship Between Subtle Energy and Dark Energy 2. Frontier Research of the Subtle Energetic Structure of the Human Body Before starting our discussion, I would like to make some general remarks. We are going to analyze some sophisticated scientific experiments involving advanced concepts of modern physics. I don’t expect you to learn and remember all of these concepts – this is not the purpose of our course. The intention here is to figure out the fundamental properties of subtle energy following from the frontier scientists’ experiments that will help to advance our practical use and scientific research of the “life force.’ However, there are many opponents to energy medicine and we need to be sure that our supportive arguments are rigorously scientific. Therefore, while you are not obligated to remember all of the concepts of physics involved in our discussions, I would recommend that you at least look at Wikipedia to better understand them and thus be more equipped to use the material upon completing this course. The Relationship between Subtle Energy and Dark Energy To find out whether it is possible that subtle energy represents some range of dark energy, we suggest analyzing the experiment conducted by Qigong master, Dr. Yan Xin, M.D. (p. 6, Introduction) on changing the radioactive decay rate of the element Americium, known as isotope 241 Am. This experiment was part of long-term research conducted at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and at Tsinghua University. Chinese scientists researched the various effects produced on substances by subtle energy/ “chi” (qi), projected by Dr. Yan Xin, whose expertise in Qigong is world renowned and who is also the chief physician in Chongqing, Sichuan province, China. As a result, over sixty scientific articles were published, reporting many amazing phenomena observed in these experiments (Swanson, p.84) demonstrating the reality of the effect of the subtle energy/chi on the chemical and physical processes in our world. The experiments with Dr. Yan Xin were supervised by nuclear physicist Dr. Lu Zuyin, a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences, who wrote a book about this research (Zuyin, Lu 1997). “The work with Dr. Yan Xin is characterized by careful and rigorous procedures, the use of the Page 2 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 most modern and accurate laboratory equipment, and the involvement of other faculty members to form an expert, scientific team” (Swanson, 2010). Part of this team was comprised of Chinese scientists working in the USA. They published an article in the Journal of Society for Scientific Exploration about the results of the experiments with Dr. Yan Xin, describing in detail all of the equipment and the methods of measurement (Xin, Lu and Hongjiang, et al. 2002). Unfortunately, the mainstream scientific community totally ignored this outstanding research that if analyzed, could open new horizons for science. The experiments that are important for our discussion - altering the half-life of 241 Am - were repeated 50 times. In a different part of this experiment Dr. Yan Zin projected chi over short, long and ultra-long distances (2,000-10,000 km) towards the 241 Am radioactive source. The decay rate was measured by counting gamma rays and alpha particles (helium nuclei) emitted by 241 Am in two different sets of experiments. Dr. Yin Xin’s chi transmission changed the decay rate of gamma rays by up to 10%, and alpha particles up to 12%. Not only was he able to do this from a great distance, he was able to decrease or increase the decay rate at will! In one series of experiments, the decay rate was changed from +9.5% to- 11.3%. In another series, changes were from +6.7% to - 12% (Xin, Lu and Hongjiang, et al. 2002, 407). Obviously, Dr. Yan Xin mentally programmed energy “to do the job” (Fig. 3.1). Fig. 3.1 The effect of external qi emitted by qigong master Dr. Yan Xin at the distance of about 3 m on the count rate of gamma (γ) ray decay of 241Am. You can see the decrease in count rate during the qi- emission sessions. The error bars in the figure do not include the uncertainty due to the reposition of the 241Am radioactive source (Zuyin, Lu 1997, p. 379). Page 3 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 It is important to remember at this point that neither electrical nor magnetic fields, no matter how strong, can influence the decay rate of radioactive elements. This means that the nature of subtle energy/ chi is quite different than the nature of the electromagnetic field. Like dark energy, chi cannot be detected by regular scientific equipment (again, it means that chi does not interact directly with the electrically charged particles, including protons). Nevertheless, the chi directed by Dr. Yan Xin dramatically changed something inside the nucleus, which consists of protons and neutrons. What could this “something” be? The only logical conclusion is that chi interacts with the particles that make protons and neutrons, quarks, or the even tinier particles, subquarks, that make quarks. It means that subtle energy/chi, like dark energy, belongs to and acts in the subatomic world. This suggests that subtle energy/chi represents some range of the immeasurable universal energy that modern science calls “dark energy.” To influence the decay rate of a radioactive element, subtle energy/chi must be able to alter the action of one of the fundamental forces in the universe, the “weak force,” which is responsible for the existence of the phenomenon of radioactivity. The weak force modifies the character of particles -- for instance, converting neutrons into protons; during this conversion, the nucleus emits an electron. This process is called beta-decay. Since negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons are attracted to each other by the electrical force, there should be another force that separates them and pushes electrons away. This force is called the “weak force”. The ability of subtle energy/chi to alter the action of the weak force means that subtle energy may be the fifth fundamental force of the universe, in addition to the four fundamental forces known to science – electromagnetic, gravitational, strong force and weak force. We will discuss in later lectures other experiments confirming this statement. Another earth-shattering conclusion comes from the fact that Dr. Yan Xin is a famous healer. Being an M.D. and Qi-gong master at the same time, he uses his ability to manipulate chi in his healing practice with great success. “He studied Western science at Mianyang Medical School and Jiangyou Medical School. He graduated first in his class at Chengdu Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine… When he began his healing practice in 1982, he quickly became known as ‘the miracle doctor,’ because his treatments were so quick and effective. He became famous within China for his ability to cure difficult health problems. This led to his collaboration with scientists to document his abilities under controlled conditions (Swanson, p. 84). Page 4 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 We can see now that the same type of subtle energy/chi - this “fifth force”- that affects subatomic particles inside the nucleus may also affect human health! It is important to note that, as you know, more and more progressive health care professionals are using various modalities of what is generally called “energy medicine” or “vibrational medicine” in their practices. The branch of the healing arts we call by these names has been known for centuries. Energy medicine “has had many names through the centuries, including laying-on-of-hands, psychic healing, spiritual healing, reiki and therapeutic touch. There is evidence of laying-on-of-hands in ancient Egypt as documented in Ebers Papyrus, dated 1552 BC. The Greeks used hands-on-healing in their Asklepian healing temples. Currently, some hospitals have “healing touch” courses for nurses, and the book, Touch for Health by John and Matthew Thie, (Thie and Thie 2010) is popular among energy medicine practitioners. During the last two centuries, several new healing modalities have appeared that use “immeasurable energies;” among them are homeopathy and “structured water,” both of which might be using subtle energy as a source of healing effects. We will discuss experiments supporting this supposition in the next lecture. The distant healing effects of prayers, recently validated in scientific double blind studies described by W. Harris in A Randomized, Controlled Trial of the Effect of Remote Intercessory Prayer on Outcomes in Patients Admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (1999) also cannot be explained without consideration of subtle energy. It is clear that the subtle energy involved in all credible methods used in energy medicine has the same nature as the energy used by Dr. Yan Xin in the experiments discussed above. In other words, it is reasonable that energy medicine actually uses the “universal energy” belonging to the subatomic world that occupies 96% of the universe. Among the many experimental results demonstrating the effect of subtle energy on living organisms, we would like to mention here the astounding research on “pranic” healing (remember that chi is the same as prana - hence, “pranic” healing is the same as chi healing) that has been done in the University of California, Irvine, by Professor Joie Jones and his group. Let us look at his results, which he presented at the NIH Think Tank Working Group Meeting on BioField Energy Medicine March 29-31, 2006, in Bethesda, Maryland (J. P. Jones 2006). “Here we present a summary of our studies of pranic healing conducted over the past decade. Pranic healers, using techniques established in China thousands of years ago, were able to mediate the effects of gamma radiation on cells in culture. Treatment of cells with pranic healing, both before and after radiation, increased the survival rate from an expected 50% to over 92%. Page 5 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 Such enhanced survival rates were independent of the distance between the cells and were not changed even when the cells were shielded from all electromagnetic radiation, including X- rays and gamma rays. In addition, using fMRI, we have measured neurophysiological changes in subjects treated by a healer. Shielding both the healer and the subject from all forms of radiation had no effect on the results, even when the two were separated by a great distance. Clearly these findings are difficult to explain in terms of the standard scientific paradigm.” We know what gamma radiation does to cells: it severely damages them, tearing the DNA to pieces. If subtle energy/chi/pranic healing is able to restore cells after this kind of damage, we can understand why traditional Eastern medicine called this energy the “life force”! It is important to note that the healing effect observed in the experiments conducted by Dr. Jones did not depend on the distance between the healer and the subject. The same phenomena were observed in Dr. Yan Xin and Dr. Lu Zuyin’s experiments on influencing the radioactive decay of Isotope 241 Am using chi directed by Dr. Yan Xin. It means that subtle energy/chi does not obey the same law as electromagnetic energy, which diminishes with distance “x” from the emitting source proportionally to reversed x2. Here we have a typical example of the fundamental contradiction between the experimentally observed properties of subtle energy and the expectations of modern science about the “behavior” of any energy field. All energy fields known to science diminish as you move away from the source of the field – an electrically charged object or a massive object, as in cases of electromagnetic or gravitational fields, respectively. The scientific community at large has the preconceived idea that it is not possible for the effects of subtle energy to be independent of the distance from its source. As an example, here is the reaction of a prominent theoretical physicist to Dr. Yan Xin’s experiment on altering the radioactive decay rate of 241 Am from a distance of 2000 kilometers: “There is no way I can believe it, even if I have seen it!” (Swanson 2010, p. 87). The amazing (and sad) fact is that even after discovering that dark matter/dark energy occupies 96% of the universe and that modern scientific equipment is only capable of taking measurements on the remaining 4%, mainstream science still adheres to the principle proclaimed by British astrophysicist Arthur S. Eddington, “No experiment should be believed until it has been confirmed by theory.” So far, no reasonable theories of “dark energy” have been suggested, which applies to subtle energy/chi as well, because, as we discussed above, subtle energy seems to belong to the same realm that “dark energy” belongs to. Page 6 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 The necessity of considering the experimental facts observed by frontier scientists about subtle energy, no matter how unusual these facts may be, is of paramount importance in our attempts to understand both the universal and practical role of subtle energy. The attitude of mainstream science towards the properties of subtle energy is reflected in mainstream medicine’s attitude towards “energy medicine.” The unexplainable (and therefore “unacceptable”) properties of subtle energy also show up in observations of its actions in the human body. A good example of this is the amazing way that subtle energy functions in the acupuncture meridians, as observed by frontier researchers. Now we will discuss the experiments that demonstrate how important information on the interaction of subtle energy with the human body can be obtained when scientists follow the principle: “Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity.” Acupuncture Meridians – A Unique Energy Network in the Body According to Traditional Chinese medicine, the acupuncture meridians are the channels through which chi flows, influencing the functions of the physical body’s organs and systems (Fig.3.2). During thousands of years of study and practice, acupuncture practitioners developed a sophisticated art and science of using specific points on the meridians for diagnosis and treatment of various illnesses. Acupuncture points are the “gateways” for moving the energy in the corresponding meridians and consequently in organs belonging to the sphere of its influence. Acupoints traditionally are activated by needles, heat or by pressure (“acupressure”). Modern acupuncturists also use electrical stimulation of the acupoints. Dr. Reinhold Voll, the founder of electroacupuncture, showed that the electrical conductivity of the body tissues is different in acupoints than in the tissue around them and changes depending on the health status of the organ corresponding to that meridian. This fact is used for diagnosis and has led to the development of electro-acupuncture equipment that is used both for diagnosis and treatment. In spite of five thousand years of history and modern confirmation of the efficacy of acupuncture, Western medicine still does not believe in the existence of the acupuncture channel network as a separate system. This is due, in part, to the fact that it is not possible to directly Fig. 3.2 Acupuncture meridian points. Page 7 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 measure the flow of chi/subtle energy in the meridians, which leaves the basic nature of the acupuncture process largely unknown. Research conducted by Prof. Joie Jones and his colleagues (Cho, et al. 1998) (Jones and Bae 2004) (Jones and Bae 2008) gives us a new and powerful confirmation of the accuracy of ancient perspectives about the acupuncture meridian network. Researchers used conventional ultrasonic imaging, as well as very short impulses (40 nanoseconds) of high frequency ultrasound (50 MHz), to investigate the “anatomy” of the acupoints. They found that the acupoints correspond to regions of enhanced elasticity of tissues, which leads to increased ultrasonic attenuation (in other words, the reflection of ultrasound from these regions is diminished). This phenomenon allowed them to receive information about the location and size of the acupoint by sending impulses to the area of the acupoint and analyzing the pulse-echo reflecting from the tissue. It even allowed them to recreate a three-dimensional image of the acupoint! Their investigations showed that all acupoints are located within the connective tissue. Ultrasonic imaging revealed the following properties of the acupoint: The acupoint changed in size and its center moved slightly over the 12-day period that the measurements were taken (Fig 3.3). When stimulated by needle or ultrasound, the acupoint twisted and changed shape back and forth, as depicted in the images in Fig. 3.4 and Fig. 3.5. The stimulation process was communicated to other acupoints on the same meridian at speeds of 5 to 10 cm/sec. If the meridian was stimulated between acupoints, the stimulation process stopped at the nearest of them. Fig. 3.3. Acupoint size change over the 12-day period (Jones and Bae 2004). Page 8 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 An impact made on the surface of the skin or deep into the muscle tissue produced no stimulation of the meridian. Another very interesting phenomenon was observed while researchers investigated acupoint BL-67, located on the lateral side of the small toe (Fig. 3.6) the last acupoint on the urinary bladder meridian. Fig. 3.5 3-Dimensional image of acupoints, changing shape under influence of a needle. (Jones and Bae 2008) Fig. 3.4 3-Dimensional image of acupoints, changing shape under influence of a needle. (Jones and Bae 2008) Before After Page 9 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 This point in traditional acupuncture is considered to be vision related. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), researchers observed excitation of the visual cortex in the brain when point BL- 67 was stimulated. This excitation was similar in magnitude and brain location to the excitation produced by stimulation of the visual cortex from flashing light into the eyes. Obviously, this is confirmation of the ancient acupuncturist’s statement that point BL-67 is related to vision. The biggest surprise came when researchers compared the speed of the signal coming to the brain from the BL-67 acupoint with the speed of the signal coming from the flashing light. The time it took for the brain to respond to flashing light into the eyes was 180-200 milliseconds, while the time between the ultrasonic stimulation of acupoint BL-67 and brain response was less than 0.8 milliseconds! This means that the signal from the acupuncture point comes to the brain more than 200 times faster than it does from the flashing light. We also need to take into account that the signal from acupoint BL-67 travels a much longer distance to the visual cortex of the brain than the signal coming from the eyes. The obvious conclusion is that this outstanding research confirms the reality of the existence of acupuncture meridians as a unique energetic network in the body. It also demonstrates the fundamental difference of the processes in the acupuncture meridians and acupoints from any known neurophysiological processes in the body. It is interesting to note here that researchers reported that “highly sensitive” subjects associated their feelings during these experiments with the flow of energy along the meridians. At the Society for Scientific Exploration Conference, Boulder CO, in 2008, Dr. Joie Jones made the following conclusion: “The pathway between the acupoint and the brain is different than the nerve pathway. This result is consistent with the concept of the subtle energy field” (Jones and Bae 2008). This leads us to the question, “What are the acupuncture meridians made of?” If subtle energy/chi, which flows in the meridians, is part of the world of dark matter/subatomic particles and interacts with these particles, it is logical to assume that the meridians are made from this same substance – subatomic particles. This assumption resonates with ancient science’s description of Fig. 3.6. Acupoint BL-67 Page 10 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 the acupuncture meridians as a part of the “etheric body,” which is made from pre-physical (“subatomic,” in modern terms) substance. It is important to note, that when we speak about immeasurable dark matter as a substance consisting of “subatomic particles,” it sounds like we expect these particles to be very small; but we actually don’t know if they are really smaller/lighter or bigger/heavier than the building blocks of our atoms, protons and neutrons. The fact that some of the detectable “subatomic particles,” like the “top” quark, can have a mass almost equal to that of the nucleus of gold gives us a hint that some of the undetectable “dark particles” may actually fall outside of what we usually mean by the term, “subatomic.” At first glance, these conclusions sound a little bit like science fiction; but let us remember that even mainstream scientists are now inclined to believe that dark matter can consist of complex combinations of particles that form atomic-like substance. The properties of this substance and the forces acting there are largely unknown. Therefore, any new phenomenon demonstrating possible interactions of this atomic-like substance and the energies comprising 96% of the universe with physical matter, and especially with the human body, should be carefully considered. Changes in the electrical conductivity and elasticity of tissue in the area of the acupuncture meridians indicate that the substance and/or energy present in the meridians somehow interact with the cells of the tissue! Although we don’t yet know the mechanism of this interaction, the fact of its existence can be used to investigate some properties of subtle energy/chi. We will discuss hypotheses of possible mechanisms of interaction between subtle energy and physical matter later in Part 2. The following is one example of an investigation conducted by Prof. Joie P. Jones and the author. Dr. Jones repeated the experiment on registering the signal coming from BL-67 to the visual cortex with the help of fMRI. In this case, excitation of the acupoint was stimulated not by ultrasound, but by a drop of oil infused with a technologically generated subtle energy pattern specifically developed for stimulation of the urinary bladder meridian. BL-67 is the end point on this meridian. The energy infused oil stimulated the acupoint and sent the signal through the meridian, exciting the visual cortex similarly to the excitation produced by needle or ultrasound impulses (Fig. 3.7). The only difference was that the effect of the energy infused oil lasted longer than the other types of acupoint stimulations. This experiment indicates that universal subtle energy (“external chi,” in Qi-gong terms), in this case technologically captured, is of the same nature as what is often called “bio-energy” – the subtle energy that acts in the energetic system of the human body. This situation is analogous with electrical energy that functions in the cells and nerves of the body and is of the same nature as the electrical energy that acts in our environment. Page 11 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 In addition to research on the properties of the acupuncture meridians, there have also been investigations in other areas of the human subtle energetic structure - the energy centers called “chakras,” in yogic terminology. According to ancient science, the chakras are responsible for energy transfer and conversion between different layers of the energetic structure. The most well-known research was done by Dr. Valerie Hunt, who found consistent correlations between an “aura reader’s” description of the color changes in chakras and the patterns of electrical signals coming from electrodes attached to the body at the location of the chakras. Details about Dr. Hunt’s research can be found in the books of Dr. Claude Swanson, Life Force, the Scientific Basis: Breakthrough Physics of Energy Medicine, Healing, Chi and Quantum Consciousness (2010), and of Rosalyn Bruyere, Wheels of Light: A Study of the Chakras (1989). “After the wave forms were recognizable, there was direct correspondence in every instance throughout all the recordings between these wave forms and the reader’s description of primary and secondary colors in the specific chakras.” (Bruyere 1989) It is one more indication that changes in the subtle energetic system of the body cause changes in physical characteristics of the tissue. Obviously, it shows that immeasurable subtle energy has some way of interacting with physical substance.

Excitation of the Visual Cortex in the Brain by Energy Infused Oil A B C A Page 12 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 Summary Experiments conducted in compliance with the rigorous methodologies of modern science allow us to make the following conclusions: Subtle energy acts in and belongs to the world of subatomic particles, and therefore might represent a range of what modern science calls “dark energy.” Thus, subtle energy may be active in 96% of the universe, while electromagnetic energy acts only in 4% of it. The nature of subtle energy is very different from that of electromagnetic energy. The strength of its action does not diminish with distance and it influences the process of radioactive decay, which is not influenced by the electromagnetic force. These facts indicate that subtle energy might be the 5th fundamental force of the universe, able to alter the action of the other fundamental forces known to science. To validate this hypothesis, scientists first of all need to open their minds to all the unusual phenomena observed by researchers of subtle energy. So far, there has not been any reaction from the scientific community on experiments such as Dr. Yan Xin’s ability to change radioactive decay rates by directing subtle energy/chi with his mind. Though subtle energy cannot be measured using existing scientific tools, it nevertheless interacts with substances of the physical/atomic world, including the tissue of the human body. Undetectable subtle substance of the subatomic world participates in the construction of the human structure as a conduit for the flow of subtle energy, which affects the functionality of the physical body. One of the most amazing features of subtle energy is that it can be directed and its action can be programmed by the human mind. This fact opens up new perspectives and possibilities in all fields of science, from physics to biology. It also raises many questions about the necessity of finding adequate methods of exploring this vast area of knowledge, which currently seems “extraneous” (at best) in Western scientific thinking. It looks like it is not possible, using existing mathematical techniques, to describe an energy field that communicates with human consciousness, and which human consciousness can direct and program for specific effects. The phenomenon of subtle energy-human mind communication raises fundamental questions about the nature and origins of human life. For example, is the ability to communicate with this universal energy field an accidental consequence of the evolutionary process or is this ability pre-programmed? Page 13 of 13 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 3 Summarizing all of the above, we can say that the research conducted by modern frontier scientists brings: 1) ever more confirmation of the wisdom passed down in the ancient traditions and practices of Eastern medicine and philosophy, and 2) raises thought-provoking (even paradigm-shaking) questions for both open-minded scientists and truth seekers from all traditions. In the following lectures we will look at a wide variety of experiments conducted with technologically generated subtle energy, which validate many of the statements in this Summary. At the same time, these experiments demonstrate the tremendous benefits that come from combining ancient wisdom with modern scientific knowledge and technologies for research and for practical applications of this possible “fifth force of the universe” – subtle energy. attachment_4 Page 1 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 SUBTLE ENERGY 101 LECTURE 1 – Introduction Dear students of Quantum University, we begin today the first of ten lectures in this course about Subtle Energy. I am sure that, as students of integrative medicine, all of you know that this name—subtle energy—is used by modern frontier researchers to present in a more contemporary language the ancient concept of “life force,” which was used by practitioners of Eastern medicine and philosophy for millennia. You also know that the ancient Eastern paradigm of health and healing is very different from the paradigm of modern Western medicine. Eastern traditional medicine considers the human organism as an integral unit composed of body (“essence”), energy and spirit. Under the term “energy,” ancient science understands not only the energies known to Western science, but also what it calls the “life force,” which permeates every cell and tissue of the living body and activates all its functions. It is called “Chi” in China, “Ki” in Japan (Fig. 1.1) and “Prana” in India. This is a Chinese hieroglyph “Chi” . . . It seems unusually symbolic to me. You can see that the upper part of the hieroglyph is reminiscent of the capital “E” that is very often used by Western scientists as a symbol of energy – for instance, in Einstein’s famous formula: E=mc2. However, this hieroglyph has an additional part beneath the “E”, as if it says to us that something is missing in our understanding of energy. While modern science does not, at all, include the “life force” in its consideration of the forces shaping the material world and the phenomena of life, in Eastern traditional medicine and philosophy, this force is considered to be the driving and organizing force of the whole Universe and thus vitally important for the human being. Let us look at how Lao Tzu, one of the giants of ancient philosophy, considers the role of subtle energy/life force in the life of humanity. Lao Tzu, who lived 2500 years ago, is the author of the most famous ancient book called Tao Te Ching that presents in poetic form the fundamentals of Dao philosophy. Fig. 1.1 KI CHI Page 2 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 “There are numberless energy rays in the Universe… All rays… come from the subtle nature of the Universe… The interwoven energy net influences the lives of individual human beings, whole societies and entire races… A virtuous individual who responds to the high, pure, harmonious subtle energy rays and integrates them with the positive elements of his own inner being may strengthen his life, enhance his health and power, and lengthen his years.” ---Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching, 500 B.C., Translation and elucidation by Taoist Master Ni, Hua-Ching Speaking in the language of modern science, this subtle energy/life force plays the role of software for the living organisms on all levels. If this is so, how does modern science not notice it? One of the reasons is, as you probably know, subtle energy cannot be directly measured by the equipment of modern science. We can observe the effects of subtle energy on inanimate matter and living organisms, but we cannot measure the amount or properties of energy producing these effects. What does this mean? To answer this question, we need to remember that all scientific equipment, in one way or another, uses electromagnetic energy. The electromagnetic field is created by particles of the physical world bearing electrical charge—positive and negative (electrons and ions); and the interaction of EM energy with these particles allows us to measure EM energy. The fact that subtle energy is not measureable by existing equipment means that it does not interact with electrically charged particles in the same way as EM energy. How is it possible, then, that subtle energy interacts with the physical world and produces, as we will soon see, incredible changes, ranging from healing effects on humans to changing a particle’s radioactive decay rate? Obviously, to answer these questions, we need to identify and understand any possible mechanisms of interaction of subtle energy with physical matter and with living organisms. I would like to emphasize that this understanding is absolutely necessary, if we want to successfully use and develop further the integrative medicine modalities that include energy medicine. We will discuss this fundamental question as part of this course. To understand what other important questions need to be raised (and answered) about subtle energy, let us, first of all, briefly discuss what information about subtle energy frontier scientists have collected through their experimentation with it. Page 3 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 Just to summarize and discuss the enormous body of information available on subtle energy would demand a special book. Fortunately, this book already exists. In the 700 pages of his book, Life Force, the Scientific Basis, (Swanson 2010), Dr. Claude Swanson, presents a wide range of experimental research on subtle energy, including theoretical attempts to describe its nature and properties, compiled from all over the world. This book is highly recommended for students and included in a list of books prescribed for this course (Fig. 1.2). In the very beginning of his book, Dr. Swanson illustrates the challenges for those who get involved in researching subtle energy. “It manifests itself in many ways. Usually a scientist examines only one aspect of it at a time. Therefore, most scientists who investigate it only see a part of the picture. Their description is reminiscent of the fable of the six blind men and the elephant. One man felt its tail and concluded it was a rope. Another felt its leg, and described it as a tree. A third felt its ear, and described it as a large leaf, while a fourth touched its side and described it as a wall.” Dr. Swanson makes the following statements about the role of subtle energy: “In the case of subtle energy, it alters the other physical laws in many different ways. It responds to and affects consciousness, and also modifies electricity, magnetism, gravity, time, even nuclear processes. It is a many-faceted phenomenon.” (Swanson 2010, p. 49) “A scientific revolution is underway, as the effects of the ‘Life Force’ are being demonstrated, documented and measured. It is like no other force known to science... It is intimately involved with life processes, and plays a central role in growth and healing. It does not weaken with distance and penetrates most materials and shielding. In many ancient cultures, manipulation of this energy is one of the central arts of medicine.” (Swanson 2010, p. 51). The above quotes from Dr. Swanson’s book show that any research in the area of subtle energy science is an extremely challenging endeavor. However, when working in the energy medicine field, any practitioner inevitably becomes, at the same time, to a certain extent, an experimenter in that field. One of the goals of this course is to help you to knowingly perform this function. Fig. 1.2 Page 4 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 The most unusual feature of subtle energy among those listed above by Dr. Swanson is, obviously, its ability to interact with human consciousness. If you’ll reflect for a moment or two on this, I am sure you will see the tremendous significance of this feature of subtle energy. If it is indeed real, we would need to revise all existing theories about the origin of the universe and the roles of all known forces in its functioning. Besides the philosophical and theoretical importance of it, this feature of subtle energy has immense practical importance for many aspects of our lives, including health and healing. Therefore, we will certainly want to have some detailed discussions on the relations of subtle energy and consciousness, as well as all ensuing phenomena: the “power of intent,” the phenomenon of “hands on” and distant healing, healing with prayers, role of mental states of health practitioners during the healing process, and so on. Of course, a legitimate question is whether such an unusual property of subtle energy (i.e., the interaction of subtle energy with human consciousness) is somehow confirmed by the methods of modern science. To answer this question, let us briefly look at the summary of research conducted at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and at Tsinghua University. Chinese scientists researched the various effects produced on substances by the energy (called “Chi” or Qi in China) emitted by the famous “miracle doctor,” the chief physician recognized by the Ministry of Health for China, Dr. Yan Xin: “Experiments with the Qigong master, Dr. Yan Xin, showed that a wide variety of physical and chemical processes can be affected (by Qi). These include radioactive decay rate, the bonding characteristics of water, generation of infrared (IR) pulsed energy, creation of pulsed and DC magnetic fields, scintillation (light emission) of lithium fluoride crystals and the bending of laser beams. The experiments illustrate the wide spectrum of effects Qi (subtle energy) can produce.” (Swanson, p. 51) An entire book, Scientific Qigong Exploration, was written by Professor Lu Zuyin about the results of this research Fig. 1.3). In my opinion, the research of these Chinese Fig. 1.3 Page 5 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 scientists could open a new era in science; unfortunately, it has been completely ignored by the scientific community at large. Now, when we see the importance of understanding subtle energy science, the next question is: how do frontier researchers explain the origin and properties of subtle energy? Having knowledge of modern science in our possession, do we now have any deeper understanding of subtle energy than traditional Eastern medicine? Let us look through the 700 pages of Dr. Swanson’s book, who, as I said before, collected experimental and theoretical research on subtle energy done all over the world. The answer is: we are not even close to a consensus, even within the frontier scientific community itself, about the nature of subtle energy. Just the number of names used by different researchers for subtle energy— “orgone,” “bioplasma,” “scalar waves”, “torsion field” and many other—indicate the lack of a common language, let alone a common understanding, amongst those who speak about it. At this point, we need to emphasize a very important point. When speaking about any energy field, including all of those known to science, we cannot ask the question, “What is it?” or “How is it made?” because science is not yet capable of answering these questions. For example, we don’t know what the electromagnetic field is or how an electron is made. All we know is how electrical and magnetic fields interact with each other and with electrically charged particles of matter. These interactions are described by the famous Maxwell equations, which were created on the basis of the fundamental experiments of Michael Faraday and others. Maxwell’s equations precisely describe the behavior of the electromagnetic field in space and time and its interaction with physical matter. They adequately predict all possible results of any experiments involving electromagnetism, and they made it possible to invent the many technological miracles we use every day. In contrast, when we look at the different theories about subtle energy, we have quite a different picture. No unified theory exists, and different researchers suggest very different mechanisms for the “production” of subtle energy in nature. These suggestions vary from considering subtle energy a longitudinal electrical and/or magnetic scalar wave—see, for example, the research of Dr. Meyl (2011)—to “being produced by the interactions between elementary particle spins, which generate a twisting of space” (Swanson 2010, p. 63). Page 6 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 The main feature of any true, accurate theory is its ability to interpret experimental observations. In the case of theories suggested for subtle energy, the biggest trouble is that none of these theories explain the fundamental properties of subtle energy that have been known and used in practical applications for millennia by all acupuncturists and other TCM practitioners. I am sure many of you know them: these properties are called the Five Elements of subtle energy: “Fire,” “Earth,” “Metal,” “Water” and “Wood.” These qualities were discovered in ancient times and named in this way to stress that different ranges of subtle energy, depending on their elemental qualities, can either support each other’s activities or suppress them. Fig. 1.4. The generative or expansive cycle. Fig. 1.5. The overcoming or constricting system. Thus, “Fire” supports “Earth,” “Earth” supports “Metal,” “Metal” suppresses (cuts) ”Wood,” “Fire” suppresses (melts) Metal, etc.1 (Fig. 1.4-5) 1 See more on this (Swanson 2010, p. 449) and in books (Chin 1995), (Connelly 1971) and (D. Eden 1998, 2008) Page 7 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 Given that the ancient knowledge of the Five Elements of subtle energy has provided the basis for successful use of them in Eastern medicine (both Traditional Chinese Medicine and India’s Ayurvedic medicine) for thousands of years, it seems obvious that the elemental properties of subtle energy are highly important and need to be considered in any theory of subtle energy. Unfortunately, as I said, none of the suggested modern approaches to subtle energy is able to describe this ancient, experimentally observed basic feature of the subtle energy field. Why do scientists have such a difficult time explaining properties of subtle energy? In my opinion, it is because our frontier researchers approach the immeasurable field of subtle energy using standard methods of mainstream science. We have examples in regular science demonstrating that as soon as a phenomenon cannot be perceived by our physical senses or measuring devices, all theories about the phenomenon resemble the theories of a blind man explaining “how to use colors for creating art.” A good example of this situation is the trouble scientists are currently having making sense of what they call “dark matter” and “dark energy,” which has been scientifically calculated to occupy 96% of the universe, yet which continues to baffle scientists around the world simply because they cannot measure or see it. We will discuss this phenomena later and will see that “dark energy” very well might be related to the topic of our course—subtle energy. Subtle energy, according to both ancient Eastern science and modern frontier science, definitely belongs to the same kind of phenomena: we cannot measure it directly; we can only measure the effects it produces in our three-dimensional world. There must be a more effective way to study subtle energy than creating new “blind man theories”! After all, the practical reason to research subtle energy is to find a means to harness it for our needs, whether it is for our health and well-being or spiritual growth, and for finding non-toxic alternatives to existing technologies that are severely polluting our environment. To conceive of a different approach for researching natural phenomena such as subtle energy, let us briefly review how researchers of the past have interacted with the forces of nature and investigated them. After all, our modern science is only two hundred years old, and it would be a mistake to disregard the methods and practical achievements of our ancestors. Page 8 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 Our ancestors did whatever they could to harness the forces of nature. It did not bother them that some of these forces were “invisible” and that they did not understand the precise laws governing them (in scientific language, they did not have equations to describe these laws). They spent time observing the effects produced by these forces and made attempts to use them for practical purposes. As you know, we still can see today some of those ancient achievements, even thousands of years after their creation. For instance, the Assyrians built aqueducts, sophisticated irrigation systems, to carry water efficiently from one place to another, using this force (which many centuries later would be called “gravity”) and practically applied their knowledge of it to build monumental structures that have lasted thousands of years . . . all without the use of sophisticated mathematics (Fig. 1.6). Ancient Aqueducts The Nazca of ancient Peru designed aqueduct systems more than 1900 years ago. This aqueduct was built in the 1st century in Spain. It is estimated that it will stand another thousand years. The first Roman aqueduct was built in 312 BC.

The Stone of the South in Lebanon “…there is not a crane today that can even think of lifting a 1000-ton weight, never mind a 1200-ton weight like the stone block left in the quarry”. Fig. 1.7 Look at this 1,200-ton stone in the photograph above (Fig. 1.7), which was precisely cut and moved — no modern equipment is capable of doing this! It appears the people who accomplished such a feat had some knowledge about the forces of nature we do not currently have. And as you know, Eastern civilizations, specifically China and India, long ago developed very sophisticated systems to employ the energies of nature, deal with the environment, and support peoples’ well-being, using forces that modern science has yet to discover. We can say that, in the distant past, the methods used for investigating the universe were phenomenological: researchers observed various phenomena and made attempts to develop practical models and describe rules that made it possible to use these phenomena.

Another famous model of universal energies functioning in the world is the Tree of Life (used in the esoteric tradition called the Kabbalah). Speaking in modern scientific language, ancient researchers developed algorithms of natural phenomena, which of course included energies (“emanations,” as they were described in the Tree of Life). As Ervin Laszlo states in his book, Science and the Akashic Field, “. . . It is enough to identify the basic constituents of a system and give the rules – the algorithms – that govern their behavior. A finite and surprisingly simple set of basic elements governed by a small set of algorithms can generate great and seemingly incomprehensible complexity merely by allowing the process to unfold in time. A set of rules informing a set of elements initiates a process that orders and organizes the elements, so that they create more and more complex structures and interrelations” (Laszlo 2004). We will see that this definition is totally applicable to ancient algorithms like the Tree of Life. My goal is to present to you a “set of basic elements governed by a small set of algorithms” that can be applied to subtle energy for the purpose of harnessing it and making it accessible for rigorous scientific research and beneficial, practical applications. We will do this through an analysis of the results of crucial experiments conducted by mainstream and frontier science, including my own 20 years of research into the nature and fundamental properties of subtle energy. I invite you to participate in this analysis, applying reason and common sense to the process. The following topics will be discussed in this course: 1. The nature of subtle energy. As it was stated above, electromagnetic energy belongs to the world of particles bearing an electrical charge, and it acts upon physical matter through them. What “world” does subtle energy belong to?’ 2. The possible mechanisms of subtle energy’s interaction with physical matter and with the human body. Obviously, it will be valuable, actually essential, to understand these mechanisms, if we plan to accurately and purposefully use subtle energy for improving human well-being and environmental conditions. Page 11 of 11 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 1 3. The relationship of subtle energy to the other known fundamental forces. As we discussed above, existing theories of subtle energy are struggling to present subtle energy as a byproduct of forces familiar to modern science. Resolving this puzzle would certainly be helpful for finding ways to harness subtle energy and the development of its practical applications. 4. Finding an approach that makes it possible to satisfy all the demands of modern scientific methodology for stability and repeatability in experiments with subtle energy. This would open doors for further rigorous scientific research of the properties and potential applications of subtle energy. 5. Experimental proof demonstrating that the interaction of subtle energy with physical matter and living organisms critically depends on the information encoded in the subtle energy. These experiments suggest the possible participation of subtle energy in such phenomenon as epigenetics (altering gene function without altering DNA). 6. Experimental proof that the mind interacts with matter by means of subtle energy, programming the subtle energy to do the job. This unique property of subtle energy gives us a key to understanding the mechanisms of such phenomena as the placebo effect, as well as the potential healing power of affirmations, prayers and all spectrums of “biology of belief” phenomena. 7. Necessity to use “energetic tools” to help people develop the ability to feel and see in the realm of subtle energy, using the subtle receptive organs that all of us have, but only a few of us have developed highly enough to be consistently effective. How important is it for us to develop these abilities? If you have read the books of modern seers, such as Donna Eden (D. Eden 1998, 2008), Rosalyn Bruyere (Bruyere 1989), and Barbara Brennan (Brennan 1987), I am sure you would agree that our knowledge about the forces of the universe would be quite different if all of us (including scientists) could perceive the realm of subtle energy as well as they can. What the developed “human instrument” can do to expand our scientific horizons, we will see in the following lectures. attachment_5 Page 1 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 SUBTLE ENERGY 101 LECTURE 2 – The Nature of Subtle Energy and Where It Belongs To begin to answer some of the most fundamental questions about subtle energy – “What IS its nature?” and “Where exactly DOES it belong in an accurate view of our universe?” – we need to look into the structure of matter as it is presented by modern science. When talking about the concepts of modern physics, we will do so using as simple language as possible. Current scientific theory holds that all substances of our physical/chemical world are made from the atomic elements listed in the “Periodic Table of Elements,” first formulated by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. The modern periodic table (Fig.2.1) starts from the lightest element, hydrogen, and advances through progressively heavier and heavier elements, like lithium, carbon, magnesium, calcium, chromium, iron, silver and gold, then further to radioactive uranium, finishing with the elements like Copernicum (#112), which are artificially created by nuclear bombardment and very short-lived. These elements, and thus all substances in the billions of galaxies in our universe, are combinations of only three stable elementary particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. The nucleus of all elements is comprised of various combinations of protons and neutrons; the former have a positive electrical charge and the latter are neutral. The number of electrons in the “orbits” around the nuclei of each atomic element is equal to the number of protons, which makes atoms electrically neutral. Different atoms have different numbers of electrons in their external “orbits” and this defines the difference in their chemical properties. Fig. 2.1 Page 2 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 Let us briefly examine what the proton and neutron, the two cornerstones of our universe, are made of. In the beginning of the 20th century, scientists believed that the proton and neutron were fundamental, initial particles of the physical universe. Following decades of theories and very costly experiments using particle accelerators, scientists concluded that the proton and neutron are not elementary particles, but contain much smaller objects, which they named “quarks.” Among the six quarks known to science, only two of them, called the “up” and “down” quarks, participate in the creation of the proton and neutron (Fig. 2.2). These quarks have fractional electric charge values: the up-quark has +2/3 of the value of the electron’s charge, and the down quark has -1/3 times of that value. Combining in sets of three, the “up” and “down” quarks create protons and neutrons: 2 up + 1 down = proton, with an electrical charge of +1 +2 x 2 3 – 1 3 = +1 1 up + 2 down = neutron, with an electrical charge of 0 2 3 – 2 x 1 3 = 0 What are quarks made of? Are there even more elementary particles than quarks? Some physicists have suggested that quarks are not the most fundamental particles, but are composed of three “subquarks.”1 As it stands today, science does not know whether this is true or not. 1 We will see later, that unconventional research proved beyond reasonable doubt that subquarks do exist! Fig. 2.2 Page 3 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 So far, the “ladder’ from our physical/chemical world to the subatomic world, according to conventional science, looks like this: Does something else exist in the universe to suggest there are more steps on this ladder? And where does subtle energy fit into this picture? Before answering these questions, we need to discuss some anomalies observed by modern science. Anomalies, Small and Big A majority of us, impressed by all the technological achievements made possible by the scientific discoveries of the last two hundred years, have the impression there are only several small holes in the fabric of our otherwise complete understanding about how the matter of the physical world is constructed and what forces participate in its construction and functioning. In fact, it’s generally recognized that scientists have always encountered and continue to encounter “anomalies” that cannot be explained using current theoretical and experimental frameworks. Fig. 2.3 Page 4 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 For those interested in an in-depth analysis of various anomalies observed by different branches of modern science—quantum physics, cosmology, evolutionary biology, etc. – I recommend the book by Douglas Kinney, Framework of Reality— Understanding our Subtle Spiritual Nature. (Fig. 2.4) As we are interested in phenomena directly related to subtle energy, I would like to give you here an example of this anomaly many of us are familiar with in our everyday lives. This anomaly is a good example of how modern science typically responds when discovering “anomalous” phenomena. We are talking about the catalytic converter, which is a part of virtually all modern automobiles (Fig. 2.5). As you probably know, it is installed to improve the chemical content of the exhaust coming from a standard internal combustion engine. This device significantly diminishes the amount of poisonous gases emitted, including carbon monoxide. The action of the catalytic converter is based on the presence of platinum in the device, which causes dramatic changes in the reactions happening in the exhaust gases. Nevertheless, no change happens to the platinum itself! It does not participate in the chemical reactions directly. This phenomenon suggests that platinum contributes some kind of energy to the chemical reaction, because a dramatic change occurs. If you ask a chemist what is going on in the converter, however, the answer you will probably get is that platinum is a catalyst that stimulates certain reactions, resulting in changes in the content of the exhaust gases. But what is the mechanism of “catalytic action” of chemically inert platinum? What property of platinum causes the chemical reaction that doesn’t happen if the platinum is absent? Why, if we replace platinum with gold, do we get no reaction? Chemists do not have answers to these questions and they do not ask these questions themselves. This is most likely because from the beginning, they have been taught a definition of catalytic chemical Fig. 2.4 Fig. 2.5 Page 5 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 reactions that creates the impression of knowing how these reactions work – though, in fact, they do not have an explanation for those catalysts that are totally chemically inert. The logical idea that some type of energy is involved in a catalytic process has been ignored by science, because no measurable energy comes from catalysts like platinum during catalytic reactions. Modern science continues to ignore many facts that suggest the existence of types of energy different than electromagnetic energy, which participate in shaping the physical world; but, with the recent discovery of a huge anomaly—“dark matter” and “dark energy”—the existence of other types of energy can no longer be ignored. Cosmic Saga: Puzzles of “Dark Matter “and “Dark Energy” A discovery was made in 1933, via astrophysical observations and measurements, concerning the motion of galaxy clusters in the far reaches of the universe. Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky was the first to observe that the galaxies were moving in ways that could not be explained by normal laws of mechanics. To explain this movement, it was necessary to assume that the cosmos must contain enormous amounts of an invisible substance, which interacts gravitationally, but does not react with electromagnetic energy, and so could not be measured via light or radio waves (Trefil 1993) (Barbree and Martin 1995). Later, astronomers estimated that, for different galaxy clusters, the total mass in a “galaxies plus cloud complex” could be as much as 30 to 400 times what they could see in their telescopes! This invisible substance was named dark matter. The invention of ultrasensitive radio telescopes gave scientists the ability to view the movement of hydrogen atoms in the far reaches of space; not only in the galaxies, but also in the seemingly “empty” distances between galaxies. What scientists observed was that these hydrogen atoms moved as if they were part of a “cosmic gravitational soup” (Trefil 1993). In other words, the void of space is not empty at all. In April 2001, three teams of scientists reported the same conclusion, when calculating the contents of the universe: the mass of all of the galaxies, stars, cosmic dust, planets, people, and so on, “accounts for less than 5% of it all. The rest takes the form of “dark matter”(30%) and an even more enigmatic “dark energy” in space (65%) that is causing galaxies to rush apart from one another at an accelerated rate” (Studies Shed Light on Universe in the Moments of Creation 2001). No matter where we look, what scientists call dark matter and dark energy keeps showing up everywhere (Glanz 2001). Page 6 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 This discovery was not predicted by existing theories of physics. It’s no wonder this situation has created a high level of frustration and discussion within the scientific community. The last two decades of research in the fields of astrophysics and particle physics have not brought any progress to our understanding of the dark matter and dark energy phenomena. Here is a series of quotes covering the period from 1993 until 2012 and expressing opinions of a number of distinguished scientists: 1993: “Dark matter is strange stuff. It’s all around you, but you can’t see it. It’s whistling by your ears, but you can’t hear it. It is arguably the most important material in the universe, but until recently scientists had no idea that it existed. It will decide the fate of the universe, but we have no idea what it is. How can scientists, after so many centuries, still know so little about the workings of the cosmos?” (Trefil 1993) 2003: “The universe around us is not what it appears to be. The stars make up less than 1% of its mass; all the loose gas and other forms of ordinary matter, less than 5%. The motions of this visible material reveal that it is mere flotsam on an unseen sea of unknown material. We know little about that sea. The terms we use to describe its components, “dark matter” and “dark energy,” serve mainly as expressions of our ignorance… It almost certainly consists of a hitherto undiscovered type of elementary particle… Ultimately, the details of these dark components will have to be filled in, not by astronomy, but by particle physics” (Cline 2003). 2007: “The discovery of “dark energy” is arguably the most important scientific breakthrough of the last 50 years. A full understanding of it eventually could have an effect on our daily lives. But first we have to figure out what exactly dark energy is… We call it “dark” because we don’t directly see it. “Dark” is code for: “We have absolutely no clue what it is!” (Urry 2007) 2012: “Far from shedding light on dark matter, our first experimental glimpses of the elusive stuff have only deepened its mystique… The trouble is that dark matter appears to be different things to different detectors. It appears heavier in one detector than another; it appears more ready to interact in one experiment than another. In the most extreme case, it shows up in one instrument, but not in another - even when both are made of identical material and are sitting virtually next door in the same underground lab… ‘This is like the story of the elephant,’ says Feng, referring to Page 7 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 the Indian parable in which a group of blind men all touch a different part of an elephant and then compare notes to try to work out what the beast looks like” (Clark 2012). Obviously, mainstream scientists have the same troubles with attempts to understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy as frontier scientists have with understanding the nature of subtle energy: they even use this same parable to describe these troubles. At this moment, you might ask, “But what does this cosmic phenomenon have to do with the topic of our course—the subtle energy that is acting right here, on Earth?” Very soon, we will discuss some important results of scientific research indicating the connection between these two energy fields—“dark” and “subtle”. To begin this discussion, let us summarize and analyze the properties of dark matter and dark energy derived from scientific observations and the latest scientific hypotheses: Dark matter consists of hitherto undiscovered subatomic/elementary particles. The fact that dark matter is invisible to modern scientific equipment means that these particles do not interact with the electromagnetic field. Dark energy, like dark matter, is undetectable by today’s scientific equipment, which means that it does not interact, at least in a noticeable way, with the electrically charged particles (electrons and ions) that are used for detecting the EM field in scientific equipment. When we say “in a noticeable way,” it means that if dark energy is able, for instance, to change the configuration of quarks in the nucleus of an ion, this change would not be registered by any modern equipment. It is logical to assume that dark energy interacts with dark matter, and dark matter, in turn, interacts (at least gravitationally) with atomic matter - otherwise, how does dark energy move galaxies apart? In other words, dark energy belongs to and operates in the subatomic world. Some scientists even suggest that dark matter consists of particles able to comprise “the dark equivalent of a hydrogen atom – a dark electron orbiting a dark proton” (Clark 2012) (Kaplan, et al. 2010). If so, then “dark atoms” can radiate “dark light” – and vibrations in the dark energy field would be analogous to electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic field. It needs to be noted here that this assumption raises a “heretical” question about the possible participation of dark matter in the functioning of the human organism. We will discuss this possibility later. Page 8 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 The discovery of dark matter and dark energy dramatically changes our view of the universe and our understanding of what modern science is capable of investigating with the equipment it currently has. According to the latest calculations, only 4% of the universal mass-energy is occupied by atomic matter and electromagnetic energy. This 4% is the only part of the universe where scientific equipment is able to take measurements. We need to realize that the immeasurable substance and energy of the other 96% of the universe is right here, on Earth, around us and (Fig.2.6, 2.7), as James Trefil said, “…whistling by your ears, but you can’t hear it” (Trefil 1993). It is logical to expect that in this situation scientists would be asking questions like these: Can it be that some unexplained phenomena observed by science are related to the actions or influences of dark energy? For instance, recently scientists have observed changes in the decay rate of radioactive elements under the influence of solar flares. Is it possible that those flares have a ‘dark energy” component that causes the change of the decay rate? Does dark energy have something in common with the “life force” recognized by all Eastern cultures, but which, as of yet, remains also not measurable by modern science? In other words, does the chi/prana of Eastern philosophy and medicine, or subtle energy in modern terms, present some range of dark energy? Being part of nature, are we, human beings, influenced by this all permeating, universal substance and energy? More than that, is it possible that dark matter and dark energy participate in the construction of the human structure and play a significant role as the “life force” in our well- being? Let us remember that, for thousands of years, yogis have spoken about the existence of the “subtle bodies” of the human structure and their crucial influence on the functioning of the physical body (for example, refer to Katha Upanishad in the Vedic literature of India). What are these “bodies” Fig. 2.6 Fig. 2.7 Page 9 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 made of? To answer this question, we need to look into the picture of the universe as described in ancient traditions. In most every ancient tradition, our material universe is thought of as having originated from a “world of creation,” which contains all the algorithms for the process of materialization of all things. The process of creation of physical matter, according to such ancient cosmologies, happens through several steps. In each step, a new world is created, with its own laws governing the “substances” and “energies” of that world and their interaction. Some modern thinkers are in agreement with this point of view: “The physical world is a reflection of energy vibrations from more subtle worlds that, in turn, are reflections of still more subtle energy fields. Creation, and all subsequent existence, is a progression downward and outward from the primordial source.” (Laszlo 2004) In other words, the universe is constructed of a sequence of worlds, each one made of a successively grosser or denser substance. The substance and energy of each of these worlds are created from the previous, subtler world. Therefore, our physical world originates from a more subtle world, which many have called the etheric world – or the “subatomic world,” in terms of modern science2. According to ancient and modern day “seers” the substances of each world are represented in the human being as sophisticated structures - “bodies”- communicating with each other and with the physical body. The substance of the etheric/subatomic world, which is closest to the physical world, comprises the “etheric body” that contains the acupuncture meridians and energy centers called “chakras” by yogis. In light of the current scientific hypothesis about dark atoms this idea about subtle bodies suddenly does not sound so mystical, esoteric or “off the charts.” We know that all periodic table elements, which form the basis of our chemical/physical world, were created inside the stars from the most abundant atom of our world – hydrogen. Is it possible that interactions between “dark hydrogen” atoms create more complex “dark atoms”? If so . . . where there are atoms, the formation of molecules is possible. Where there are molecules, the formation of sophisticated structures can be expected. In fact, it is logical to assume that structures of the “subtle bodies” can be made according to the same general principle, just as our physical body is made from substances of our world. 2 We will talk more about the ancient picture of universe and its relation to modern scientific theories in the next chapter. Page 10 of 10 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 2 We need to note here that the structure and functions of the subtle bodies and their influence on a human being’s physical body have been described in great detail by some seers, for example The Etheric Double and Allied Phenomena (Powell 1954) and The Subtle Body: An Encyclopedia of your Energetic Anatomy (Dale 2009). The basic components of our physical body are not any different than the components of everything else in the physical world – all inanimate objects and living organisms are made from periodic table elements. What makes living creatures different from each other and from the soil of the Earth is the difference in their structures. So, the question becomes, is it not possible that “dark atoms” create various structures in the world of subatomic/dark matter and some of these structures also exist within the human body? Of course, you cannot find a discussion of these “heretical” questions in modern scientific literature. Nevertheless, we will see from the analysis of some experiments conducted in compliance with rigorous scientific methodologies that the questions raised have real merit. Let us summarize the main points of our discussion. 1. According to modern science, the whole physical universe, including all living organisms, is made from only three elementary particles: two quarks and the electron. Therefore, if subtle energy affects objects in the physical world, it must be able to interact somehow with these three particles. This interaction should be very different from that of electromagnetic energy, since subtle energy doesn’t interact with an electrical charge. 2. “Anomalies” that cannot be explained by modern science suggest the existence of energy unknown to science. The discovery that “dark matter” and “dark energy” together occupy 96% of the whole universe leaves no doubt that some immeasurable energy acts throughout the whole universe, while electromagnetic energy acts only in the atomic part of it, which makes up only 4% of the whole. 3. These recent fundamental discoveries actually support ancient science’s statement about the existence of a pre-physical (“etheric”) world that contains energy, which influences processes in the physical world, including the functioning of living organisms. Since “dark matter,” according to modern research, consists of subatomic substance, it raises a question about possible relations between “life force”/subtle energy and “dark energy.” In the next lecture, we will consider facts confirming the existence of these relations. Also, we will discuss experiments supporting another ancient statement: the participation of “pre- physical”/subatomic substance in the functioning of the human body. attachment_6 (1) Page 1 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 SUBTLE ENERGY 101 LECTURE 10 – Subtle energy and mind-matter interaction. Practical use of mind’s ability to “read” and “program” subtle energy. General principles behind energy medicine’s devices: some advices and warnings about their capabilities In this, the last lecture of the course, we will discuss several topics. First of all, we will put together all the results that show us the role of subtle energy in the phenomena of the mind-matter interaction. These phenomena attract more and more attention from frontier scientists and writers, and many books already have been written on this topic. I am sure that you have read some of them. Here, I will mention only the most well-known books written by the scientists who have researched the phenomena of the mind-matter interaction experimentally. These are (in chronological sequence): Jahn, Robert G., and Brenda J. Dunne. Margins of Reality: The Role of Consciousness in the Physical World. San Diego, New York, London, London: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1987. Zuyin, Lu. Scientific Qigong Exploration - The Wonders and Mysteries of Qi. Malvern, Pennsylvania: Amber Leaf Press, 1997 (1994, in Chinese). Radin, Dean. The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena. New York: HarperCollins, 1997. Tiller, William A., Walter E. Dibbie, Jr., J. Gregory Fandel. Some Science Adventures with Real Magic. Walnut Creek, CA: Pavior Publishing, 2004. Lipton, Bruce. The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles. Santa Rosa, CA: Mountain of Love, 2005. Radin, Dean. Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality. New York: Paraview Pocket Books, 2007. Tiller, William A.. Psychoenergetic Science: A Second Copernican-Scale Revolution. Walnut Creek, CA: Pavior Publishing, 2007. Radin, Dean. Supernormal: Science, Yoga, and the Evidence for Extraordinary Psychic Abilities. New York: Deepak Chopra Books, 2013. In these books, you can find a great deal of experimental evidence demonstrating the mind’s effects on various processes observed by modern science, including influencing the Page 2 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 outcome of random number generators (Dunne, 1997) and altering the interference pattern of light coming through two slits (Radin, 1997, 2007, 2013). To those of you who are interested in the detailed discussions of these experiments I recommend the most recent book by Dr. Dean Radin, Supernormal. In addition, I’d like to bring back to our attention—from one of the earlier lectures—two demonstrations of the amazing ability of the human mind to influence matter, even on the nuclear level. The first was the disintegration of the nucleus up to the sub-quarks level by Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater, and the second was changing the radioactive decay rate by Dr. Yan Xin. We can hardly have any doubts about the human mind’s ability to affect physical matter and even the fundamental forces acting in the physical world. It is important to note that these abilities of the mind can be trained and enhanced by special mental exercises, some of which were developed millennia ago. This has been confirmed by the experiments of modern frontier scientists. For example, Dr. Radin writes in his book, Supernormal, that in one of his many experiments with changing the interference pattern of light going through two slits, experienced meditators “obtained combined odds against chance of 107,000 to 1. Non-meditators obtained results close to chance” (Radin, Supernatural, p.254). Dr. Radin also discusses what is known about ancient yogis’ techniques of achieving higher states of mind that lead to gaining supernormal powers – “siddhis.” As you know, along with the mind’s effect on objects and events in the physical world, the human mind is able to perform physic healing. We have discussed, although briefly, the scientifically proven healing abilities of Dr. Yan Xin. It needs to be mentioned here that fairly recently (2008-12), several new experiments have been conducted with Dr. Xin – on suppression of the proliferation rate and changing cancer cells (Xin, Yan, et al. “External Qi of Yan Xin Qigong induces G2/M arrest and apoptosis of androgen-independent prostate cancer cells by inhibiting Akt and NF-kB pathways.” Mol. Cell Biochem (2008) 310:227-234; Xin, Yan, et al. “External Qi of Yan Xin Qigong induces cell death and gene expression alterations promoting apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation, migration and glucose metabolism in small-cell lung cancer cells.” Mol. Cell Biochem (2012) 363(1-2):245-255), including changing the biochemistry in several types of cancer cells, as well as the alteration of the cancer cell’s genes expression promoting apoptosis of cells. The healing power of Dr. Xin is not limited by distance, just like his ability to change, from a great distance, chemical reactions or the radioactive decay rates we discussed in the past. Reports of distant healing observations appear in Western literature, as well (for instance, “Two case Page 3 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 reports of distant healing: New paradigms at work” by Barbara G. Koopman, Ph.D. and Richard A. Blasband, M.D., published in Alternative Therapies in Jan/Feb 2002, vol. 8, No. 1). As you probably know, on April 26, this year, Lynne Mctaggart ran the Healing Intention Experiment, which randomly chose one of two patients suffering from extreme anxiety. This time she worked with Dr. Jeffrey Fannin, director of the Center for Cognitive Enhancement. Dr. Fannin holds a Ph.D in psychology, has been involved in neuroscience for many years and has a good deal of experience in ‘brain mapping’ states of mental disorder such as anxiety, depression or attention- deficit hyperactivity disorder. Two patients of Dr. Fannin suffering from anxiety generously offered to donate their time, and allowed themselves essentially to be experimented upon using what is, by any regard, a most unusual therapy: the power of strangers’ thoughts. One was to be chosen as the target, and the other would be the control. As they were broadcasting on web television through Quantum World TV, they were able to make use of a split screen, enabling the audience to see Lynne Mctaggart, Dr. Fannin, the patients and their brain waves all in real time. The results of this experiments showed, that: The red spots on 12 Hz – the brain-wave pattern representative of patient’s PTSD – turned almost completely normal during the experiment. More of his alpha waves started working together and stayed that way (they became 'coherent'). We also need to add here the experiments on healing using prayers. The effectiveness of prayers for healing has been demonstrated not only on humans, but also on animals (Lesniak K.T., “The effect of intercessory prayer on wounds healing in nonhuman primates.” Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine (2006), Nov-Dec, 12(6): 42-8). You can find references to many experiments involving prayers in this article. As we know, the placebo effect is not applicable to animals, thus, we are left to conclude the results observed by Dr. Lesniak are totally objective. Now, when we are convinced by the overwhelming evidence of the ability of the human mind to alter processes in inanimate objects, as well as in living organisms, a very important question arises: is it possible to scientifically determine the mechanism of the mind-matter effect? You could say, “Well, it is pretty obvious that all observed effects of the mind on physical matter Page 4 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 and living creatures are possible due to the force we call here ‘subtle energy’ – the main subject of our course.” After all, in all of the experiments involving Dr. Xin, Chinese scientists use the term “External Chi,” meaning that Dr. Xin somehow directs “chi” energy existing outside of his body, and “programs” this energy with his mind to produce the intended effect. While our common sense tells us that this interpretation is of course true, still, from the rigorous scientific point of view, there is no real proof that Chi or subtle energy is the carrier of intent of Dr. Yan Xin. The reason is, as we know, that we do not have an instrument suitable for measuring a flow of subtle energy, or any changes in the subtle energy field, indicating that Dr. Yan Xin manipulates this energy. In all such experiments, scientists can only observe the source of the influence – in this case, Dr. Yan Xin, and the result of the influence. However, what is happening in the space between the source and the recipient of the effect is totally unknown –that is from the Western science point of view. This is exactly the reason why the wide range of so-called psychic phenomena, including distance healing, is considered by many to be ‘miracles.’ Can we find out whether something is happening in the space between the source of the effect and the target? In other words, can we demonstrate there is a carrier of the effect “delivering’ this effect to the target? The answer is: “Yes, we can!” The tool allowing us to accomplish this task is a technology that harnesses subtle energy. To demonstrate this, I need to remind you of some of the experiments we discussed in the previous lectures. I hope you remember the experiments conducted by Dr. Joie Jones, which demonstrated a dramatic increase of the survival rate of cells damaged by gamma radiation under the influence of pranic healers, as well as by subtle energy patterns produced by Vital Force Technology. Among the technologically produced subtle energy patterns used was a particular pattern recorded with the help of VFT from an energy medicine healer. This pattern increased the survival rate of cells to the same percentage as the pattern of erbium (a “phantom atom”) used in the experiment, with the deviation of +/- 4%. Two other subtle energy patterns, used in the experiment of Dr. Jones – the “Protection” and “Clean Sweep” patterns, were also subtle energy patterns created by the intent of energy medicine healers and recorded by the VFT equipment. These provided an increase in the survival rate of cells in a “dirty” lab from 0 to, respectively, 67% and 78%, Both of these patterns were created in the following manner: the energy medicine healers projected their intent for about 15 minutes to a glass of concentrated trace minerals water solution located in my lab, which they Page 5 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 could see using Skype. After that, an energy pattern of the solution was copied with the help of the VFT equipment and infused afterwards into the cells’ growth media (in the case of the “Protection” subtle energy pattern) or into water (in the case of the “Clean Sweep” pattern). A similar procedure was used when the subtle energy pattern “Quantum Balance” was produced. This pattern was targeted for the support and strengthening of the muscle system of the body. The initiator of this pattern was Dr. Jim Suiter, D.C., from Dunkan, Oklahoma. He had created an affirmation he had successfully used with his patients, and after many testimonials about the effectiveness of this affirmation, he suggested to me that we record the energy pattern corresponding to the affirmation. The procedure of this recording was similar to the procedure just described, with the only difference being that Dr. Suiter looked at the glass with the trace minerals water solution placed in front of him (not through Skype). The recorded subtle energy pattern, which Dr. Suiter called “Quantum Balance,” demonstrated an ability to noticeably enhance the muscle strength in people. Here are examples of many testimonials provided by Dr. Tim Toula, who is a trainer of “extreme” athletes, on Quantum Balance’s effect experienced by his trainees: “Sunday, May 4th. Performed a bench press on a hammer strength plate loaded machine... the most I had ever done was 255 lbs... after 8 drops of “Quantum Balance” in 6 ounces of water and 40 minutes later, I set a personal best of 280 lbs. of plates… I consider this more significant than anything else I have done with “Quantum Balance.” I just keep adding plates until I had reached my max effort... I could not believe that when I counted the plates, it totaled 280 lbs... This was methodically done… and the weight increase is phenomenal… it was really hard to believe.” “Tuesday, April 29th. Performed a single weighted pull-up with 140 lbs. of weight; my previous best had been 135 lbs. Thirty minutes prior to the maximum attempt, I drank 6 ounces of water with 8 drops of “Quantum Balance” mixed in. In my previous best attempt, I tweaked (i.e., strained) a few things in the process and had to go through a period of retraining for a max. After this attempt, I suffered no pain or ‘tweaks’ or anything.” “Wed., April 30th. Performed 70 consecutive pull-ups after 6 ounces of water with 8 drops of “Quantum Balance.” My previous best had been 60 pull-ups. My biceps were brutally pumped, but I was able to make it to 70.” Page 6 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 “Dec 8th, 2007. Little Rock City bouldering comp. Climber Ronnie Jenkins had been given a mixture of 8 ounces of water and 8 drops of “Quantum Balance” prior to the comp. One notable result was that he did Bed Wetters, a V10 boulder problem, on his first try. He had never been able to do this particular problem prior to that day.” We understand that the more results from different experiments we collect in this unusual, emerging science of the mind-matter interaction, the more persuasive our arguments will be about the reality of these phenomena. For this reason, I would like to present here one more experiment conducted at Beech Tree Labs using the subtle energy pattern, which we call here “G-Channel.” This energy pattern was created in a very unusual way – unusual even for us, having worked in the area of subtle energy-related phenomena for years. That is how “G-Channel” was created. There is a healing system called “Cosmic Energetics” (www.cosmoenergy.org), which is based on the use of so-called “cosmic energetic channels” that have specific properties. (Do you remember Lao Tzu’s words about “numberless energy rays of the universe” that I quoted in the first lecture of our course?) These channels can be “opened” by a special procedure using “keys” that are different for different channels. Sounds pretty “out there,” does it not? That is what exactly what we thought when we first heard about this system. Nonetheless, we decided to check out the healing effectiveness of these “energetic channels.” We first learned the system (which took us a year), and then found out that sensitive people (including ourselves) can feel a difference when an “energetic channel” is open. As for the next step in the process of investigating these “channels,” we created the subtle energy pattern “G-Channel,” by “opening” this particular “channel” and mentally directing it to a glass of the trace minerals solution. After that, the energetic pattern of the solution was copied by VFT. Scientists of the Beech Tree Labs conducted an experiment, which tested how the “G- Channel” subtle energy pattern affects the activity of genes responsible for the formation of adhesions. The next diagram (Fig. 10.1) presents the results of this experiment, comparing the effects of “G-Channel” with the control and with another remedy (“Adhesion”) known for healing internal adhesions. We can see that the “G-Channel” subtle energy pattern affected many genes connected to the adhesion process, and its effect is different from the one produced by the remedy http://www.cosmoenergy.org/ Page 7 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 “Adhesion.” Although the effect of “G-Channel” registered in this experiment is not big (from 19 to 48% of the down-regulating genes’ expression), all data are statistically very reliable (p << 0.05). This means that the effect of the subtle energy pattern “G-Channel” is real. I need to mention here that cells used in this experiment were grown in a subtle energy- infused media for only 24 hours. As we saw in the previous lecture, 24 hours’ time interval is not enough to significantly affect properties of the cells, and cells being in the subtle energy-infused media for 72 hours demonstrated much more pronounced effects. Nevertheless, as I said before, an experiment with the subtle energy pattern “G-Channel” showed a statistically reliable result of “G-Channel’s” effect on the genes’ expression. Taking into account the highly unusual source from which this subtle energy pattern was derived, we might come to the conclusion that mainstream science is not aware of some of the features of the immeasurable 96% of the Universe, which are very important for the understanding of the phenomena of life. Now, I would like to direct your attention to one aspect of the phenomena we just discussed that most certainly has a practical value. I’m referring to the possibility of training our minds to enhance their ability to affect various processes in the outer world. Of course, this applies also to Fig. 10.1.

While many books speak about this ability and even suggest various systems of mental training, I have not seen many health practitioners using the mind’s healing abilities in their everyday practice. Definitely, one of the reasons for this is the fact that such an education is not a part of our culture. In contrast to Western culture, Eastern countries—India, China and many others—traditionally included mental discipline and mental exercises as a part of education. However, the “westernization” of these countries significantly suppressed this tradition. To encourage you to find some mental training system that will be effective for you, I would like to give you an example of what the health practitioner could accomplish if he/she would continuously practice a mental discipline and healing work. I am speaking here about your colleague, a student of the Quantum University, Laura Ellis Graye. I met her at the congress of the Quantum University in 2012, when she came to me after my lecture and said she is a “psychic healer.” At that time, I was experimenting with the recording of subtle energy patterns produced by the prayers practiced in different religions. It happened that in my pocket, I had a 0.5 oz. bottle of a mineral solution infused with the energy pattern of a prayer used in Judaism to be pronounced after finishing the meal. I gave the bottle to Laura, and let me say it did not have any label on it. I asked her to describe to me what she feels about this bottle. Laura focused for several seconds on the bottle and then gave me her answer: “This energy helps very well with digestion. It spreads energy produced during the digestive process all over the body.” I was, as you can imagine, very impressed by the precise match of her description to the purpose of the prayer. For me, it was one more confirmation that prayers, affirmations and the like, being pronounced by a human being, are “programming” subtle energy, producing a pattern that can be recorded and reproduced. I suggested to Laura that we work together and asked her to help me figure out some peculiarities of subtle energy’s behavior. Laura lives on the East Coast, while I live on the West Coast, so she asked me how we might best manage working together. I told her that distance, in my opinion, would probably not be a problem for her, and that we could work using Skype. To make a long story short: we tried, and it worked out. Since that time, we have been conducting many experiments together. In our first experiments to try Laura’s sensitivity for testing on the distance, I was showing her, using Web-camera and Skype, several bottles of solution infused by VFT with several Page 9 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 variations of the subtle energy patterns—all aimed at the same goal. I then asked Laura to “feel” which one was the best, showing her the bottles, one by one. After the “best” energy pattern had been chosen, I changed numbers on the bottles and we repeated the experiment again. Pretty soon, with more than a 90% success rate, Laura began to choose the same energy pattern as the best again and again and again. During the two years of our collaboration, we performed more than one hundred experiments of this kind, with the success rate close to 100%. To give you an example of what the trained mind can achieve, I will describe for you one of our experiments. Two sets of the subtle energy patterns, created by VFT—six variations of “Pattern A” and three variations of “Pattern B”—were tested by Laura in several “blind” sessions, as described above. - Pattern A3 was chosen by Laura as the best among A1-A6. - Pattern B1 was chosen as the best among B1-B3. After that, another test was conducted to determine the optimal number of drops of the mineral solution infused with the subtle energy patterns A3 and B1 that should be added to 15 milliliters of some juice to make this juice’s effect on the human body as good as possible. Several people were tested with the juice in their hands, and Laura suggested 7 drops of the solution with the subtle energy pattern A3 to be added to the juice. For the subtle energy pattern B1, she suggested 3 drops. After that, I repeated the same testing with another sensitive energy medicine healer whom I have known for many years. To my astonishment and great satisfaction, she (we will refer to her as G.K.) chose as the best combination the same energy patterns – A3 and B1, and exactly the same amount of drops to be added to the juice – 7 drops of the solution infused with the subtle energy pattern A3 and 3 drops of the solution infused with the subtle energy pattern B1. If you estimate the odds of this event, taking into account that the number of drops of the energized solution needed to be added to the juice could be up to 100 drops (about 3 ml), you will find that it is less than 1:10,000,000. We conducted dozens of tests of a similar kind using Laura’s and G.K.’s abilities to sense various subtle energy patterns’ effect on people from a great distance, and we always had a great match (more than 90%) using these energy medicine healers’ choices. Page 10 of 16 Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10 After a while, I suggested to Laura that we record the subtle energy patterns she “generates” during her healing sessions. She agreed and we did it in the following way: Laura would hold in her hands vials containing various usual trace mineral solutions during a session and, after that, she would send them to me to copy the subtle energy pattern of the solution with the help of VFT. Now, we have a series of the subtle energy patterns created during Laura’s healing sessions, and we have sent them to several health practitioners for testing. After the effects of these subtle energy patterns are verified (which we expect), we plan to do more rigorous scientific research on their healing effects. I plan to demonstrate one of Laura’s healing energy patterns during the Quantum University congress in October 2014, and you will be able to watch this demonstration on the Quantum University website. My purpose in presenting to you the experiments connected with the mind’s extraordinary ability to analyze the properties of substances and to program and direct subtle energy for healing purposes is not just to offer you more proof of the reality of “mind over matter” phenomena. My purpose is a very practical one. I want to demonstrate to you that training and using your mind’s abilities can dramatically enhance your success in treating your patients. Now, after discussing the mind <–> subtle energy <–> human body functioning, we can
formulate the practical applications of all we have learned about subtle energy’s properties and its
role in the Universe, as well as in the functioning of all living organisms.
Let us start with the last topic we just finished to discuss – the mind-matter (and body)
interaction. What do you need to take into account as a health practitioner?
First, as follows from our discussion, when we interact with other people, we influence
them by our thoughts, whether we aware of it or not. It is obvious that for a health care practitioner,
it is better to be aware of this phenomenon, if you really want to enhance the effectiveness of a
treatment.
Let us, one more time, think about the possible mechanisms of how our mental processes
influences other people’s bodily functions. As you likely remember, we have ascertained that an
intent and concentrated thinking (for example, affirmations and prayers), whether pronounced
aloud or inwardly, program subtle energy and form an energetic pattern that carries the
informational content of the thoughts, and that pattern can be “imprinted” into a mineral solution.
This has been confirmed many times by the fact that the energetic pattern of the mineral solution
Page 11 of 16
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10
can be “copied” and amplified by the VFT equipment; and it has been proven by several
experiments that this energy pattern “does the job” programmed by the mind (recall the
experiments of Dr. Jones and Dr. Suiter and those conducted at Beech Tree Labs).
Now, taking into account that 70% of the human body consists of a mineral water solution,
we can assume the subtle energy pattern programmed by the thinking process can be imprinted
into the human body. As I’ve mentioned in the past, the mineral water solution can hold the subtle
energy pattern for a very long time. The technologically infused patterns have a “shelf life” of
many years. Of course, the thinking process does not typically project subtle energy as strongly as
the VFT equipment, but strongly enough to be able to “write” the energetic pattern into the body’s
water. The pattern interacts with the body’s energetic system – acupuncture meridians, chakras,
etc. – and potentially can change their effect on bodily functions.
Just like the unspoken rule, “Leave your personal troubles outside of your office,” the
process described here suggests that the mental discipline of a health practitioner and his/her
positive, supportive affirmations related to each patient’s problems can enhance the effect of any
modalities used for the treatment.
The sad truth is that practitioners of conventional medicine not only do not believe in the
importance of this principle, but also often use the opposite way of communicating with their
patients. When I visited a doctor for checking my electrocardiogram, I was “inspired” by him in
this way: “Your cardiogram is absolutely normal, but it doesn’t mean you will not have a heart
attack in the next month or two.”
I hope that you, practitioners of integrative medicine, will use the power of your minds
similar to how Laura Graye and other effective healers use it. This doesn’t mean that I want to
persuade all of you to become energy healers. I am just suggesting that you be aware and respectful
of the power of your thinking process and use it in a conscious, positive way.
Just learning to feel subtle energy and to be able to distinguish the positive and negative
energetic effects produced on you by different sources (places, substances, materials, etc.) is a big
step forward, one which helps you more effectively assist your patients.
I want to stress here another important point that is necessary for the efficiency of
treatments: an energetically clean environment. You probably will remember the experiments of
Dr. Joie Jones that demonstrated a significant inhibition of the healing effect by an energetically
polluted environment. Cleaning your office energetically, using whatever method you find
Page 12 of 16
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10
effective, would help your patients to recover faster and would help you to be less tired at the end
of your work day. We’ve had many testimonials about the quite noticeable, positive effects of
cleaning an office space with water infused with the energetic pattern used in Dr. Jones’
experiment (“Clean Sweep”). Whether you use this kind of modern method for energetic cleaning
or any of the ancient methods, like burning sage or a system used by the school of “Pranic Healing”
– any of these cleaning techniques will improve the effect of any modality you use for your healing
treatments.
Now let us talk about a common component of the tools often employed by integrative
medicine practitioners – herbs, supplements and the like. As we’ve learned from our discussions,
any substance has its intrinsic subtle energy pattern that influences the energetic system of the
human body and, thus, might affect its physiology. In other words, any consumed substance
produces a dual effect on the human body – both chemical and energetic. Sometimes the energetic
effect can be stronger and more beneficial than the chemical one, like, for instance, in the case of
lithium. While the chemical effect of lithium is mainly damaging, the energetic pattern of lithium,
as I mentioned in one of the lectures, has a very positive effect on one’s psychological state.
Here I can give you an opposite example: according to the observations made by many
energy medicine practitioners, some pharmaceutical drugs, while being useful chemically for the
improvement of a health issue, energetically can be damaging. A reason for this can be understood
if we take into account that drugs, being man-made substances, might possess an energy pattern
very different from the patterns of natural substances, and thus unfamiliar to the human body. The
effect of this type of pattern on the bodily energetic system can be compared with the effect of a
virus on computer software. Many practitioners have reported about acupuncture meridian system
imbalances when patients are under the influence of pharmaceutical drugs. These imbalances
sometimes lead to patient’s having paradoxical reactions to natural medications (herbs,
supplements, etc.) and/or energetic remedies (homeopathies, energy infused solutions, and so on).
As we saw in Dr. Marrongelle’s report, the paradoxical reactions of a patient can be reversed with
the help of specific subtle energy remedies.
Taking into account these not-so-simple relationships between a substance and its subtle
energetic pattern, it’s obviously necessary to check the energetic properties of substances used for
healing purposes. When using more than one substance, it is very important to ensure there is an
energetic compatibility of the remedies. In the energetic world, one plus one does not always equal
Page 13 of 16
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10
two. When two natural remedies that produce a positive effect on someone’s body when used
separately are then used together, it might diminish or even negate each other’s effectiveness. The
most direct way of testing the energetic compatibility of remedies is to use a high quality electro-
acupuncture device or an advanced kinesiology method. Of course, those practitioners who have
developed (or have it naturally) a high sensitivity to subtle energy effects are able to feel directly
the compatibility or incompatibility of various remedies.
Now we come to the question of the effectiveness and validity of the various devices being
used nowadays by energy medicine practitioners. You know there is a large and continuously
growing variety of these devices appearing every year on the market. Many of them allegedly possess
both diagnostic and healing capabilities. Some of them express rather incredible claims, like the
ability to analyze the health condition of any organ of the body down to the cellular and even genetic
level. Sometimes, you can even find claims that these devices are able to perform a diagnostic
procedure from a distance – I would say, this is a claim that the device has acquired psychic abilities.
While you and I know that psychic abilities are very real, for an electronic device to possess “psychic
abilities” is, from my point of view, not possible to affirm. The abilities of supersensitive people,
like your colleague Laura Graye or the famous Donna Eden, to analyze health conditions of a
person’s body, even at a distance, can exist due to the human being possessing a sophisticated
energetic structure—“subtle bodies”—that include a so-called ‘mental body’ among them.
As I said in the past, a detailed description of the mental body function can be found in the
Arthur Powell book titled, The Mental Body. Indeed, this is the mental body that (in principle)
allows the human being to reach information “recorded” in the universal “library of knowledge”
– often called the Akashic Records, as well as information of the subtle energetic programs that
“run” the body’s physiology. A piece of electronic equipment, no matter how sophisticated the
hardware and software it has, cannot possess the mental body. Thus, the only imaginable way for
such a device to receive information about peculiarities of a person’s health conditions is to
correlate parameters of the physical characteristics of the body, that are measurable by the
electronic equipment, with those conditions.
Let us look, for instance, at the electro-acupuncture devices created according to the Dr.
Reinhold Voll system. We need to stress here, that they are not directly measuring subtle energy
flowing through acupuncture meridians – we know that subtle energy is immeasurable – but they
are measuring conductivity in the area of meridians, which is changing depending on the amount
Page 14 of 16
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10
and quality of subtle energy propagating through them. Dr. Voll spent many years correlating the
conductivity data of all meridians, which he observed, with various health conditions of his
patients. As a result, his system of testing the acupuncture meridians, based on such meticulous
research, when used by an experienced practitioner, can give a very accurate accounting of the
conditions of a particular acupuncture meridian and, consequently, the conditions of the organ
related to this meridian. In my opinion, only a statistically reliable correlation between the physical
parameters of the body (which are the only parameters measurable by any electronic equipment)
with the specific conditions of the bodily organs and/or system can assure the accuracy of the
measurement claimed by any energy medicine tool.
In other words, claims about such tools’ diagnostic abilities should be confirmed with
independent methods – for instance, by using regular medical diagnostic tools. We need to
remember that modern computerized equipment is capable of demonstrating amazing features.
Unfortunately, some of these features make it possible for unscrupulous manufacturers of energy
medicine tools to make over-exaggerated claims about the diagnostic and healing abilities of the
equipment.
I can give you an example from my own experience. Several years ago, a friend (also a
physicist) and I, being mesmerized by the incredibly impressive computer graphics generated by
a foreign diagnostic and healing device, bought one, hoping to use it for our subtle energy research.
After a while, we decided to test this device’s validity in an unusual test. As a part of its equipment,
the device came with a pair of “headphones” that were supposed to send the sophisticated
analyzing signals through the brain. Instead of using somebody’s head, we placed these
headphones on a frying pan, typing in the prompt a random human name, with a random age of 75
years and a randomly selected blood type, all of which were “required” by the device’s manual.
The device “analyzed” the health conditions of “Mr. Old Pan” and found “his” health contained
many borderline threats, including pre-diabetic conditions. Then we used the treatment protocol
on the pan, which had been prescribed by the device’s manual. After several sessions, we observed
on the computer screen—with its eye-catching graphs—that the health condition of “Mr. Old Pan”
had improved. We then took the same pan and gave it another name, another blood type and typed
in “22” years of age. “Mr. Yang Pan” appeared to be in good shape and had one minor problem –
some tension in muscles, probably as a result of playing baseball or football. You can imagine our
reaction to the results of these “experiments.”
Page 15 of 16
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10
I need to mention here that nowadays the “more advanced model” of this particular device
is on the market and costs many thousands of dollars.
As you know, I am not a health practitioner, I am a physicist, and I cannot present you
analysis of all energy medicine devices that are available now. My goal is to give you some general
principles and examples that can help you to make a right decision when choosing the device you
want to use in your practice.
Now I would like to say some words about the healing principles often used in existing
energy medicine devices. A widespread method of creating healing energy patterns is to develop
a recording of the energetic imprints of various remedies, herbs, etc. and upload them into the
computer. Usually, the recorded energy patterns are used for treatment with the help of electrodes
as tools to deliver the energy to the patient’s body. While this energy recording and delivery
methods are in principle possible, in the research we’ve conducted for several years in association
with Dr. Lee Cowden, M.D., we have found the energy patterns of the remedies recorded into
many computerized devices are significantly less effective than the energy patterns of the original
remedies. This happens mainly due to the strong electromagnetic noise associated with the
recording devices. The research with Dr. Cowden, who is a well-known teacher of integrative
medicine, helped me to develop a very low-noise system for “mapping” the energy patterns of the
substances I’ve mentioned in the past.
Some of the energy medicine devices use a direct method of generation of subtle energy
patterns. As an example, take a device made in Germany, which uses bulbs with modulated
electrical current in inert gases. Without going into the analysis of the methods used for the creation
of specific subtle energy patterns emitted by the device, I would like to make just one general
comment about this type of energetic tool. It doesn’t matter whether or not such a device generates
beneficial, healing energy patterns—the fact remains, any practitioner using this device and all
personnel working in his or her office can easily be energetically overloaded when using the device
frequently and for many patients. As you know, subtle energy easily penetrates walls (unless the
whole room is metal-covered), so even your close neighbors can be affected by the emitted energy.
A while ago I suggested to one doctor, who has participated in our experimental work for
many years, to check the conditions of his and his staff’s acupuncture meridians at the beginning
of a working day, while using on his patients the German device mentioned above, and at the end
of the work day. Being a very experienced user of EAV, this doctor did the necessary
Page 16 of 16
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 10
measurements and was astonished by the imbalance in everybody’s acupuncture meridians, which
appeared at the end of the day.
Examples like this constitute one of the reasons that make me, among many others, believe
that the use of substances like trace mineral solutions infused with specifically targeted subtle
energy patterns is a much safer and more effective way to deliver the healing effects of these
energy patterns to patients. Not to mention the possibility of infusing into such substances very
sophisticated combinations of subtle energy patterns, as well as much more precisely determining
the dosage necessary for each individual and his or her health condition.
At the end of this, the last lecture of our course, I would like to encourage you to actively
and creatively use in your practice and everyday life your knowledge about subtle energy and the
appropriate tools of energy medicine. In addition, I hope that these ten discussions we’ve had with
you on the nature, amazing properties and importance of subtle energy, the universal force for all
life, that which the ancients called “the life force,” will help you in every aspect of your life and
your practice.
Unfortunately, society at large reminds me a group of fish that lives in water, knows and
investigates only water, and doesn’t realize that it is alive thanks to the air dissolved in the water,
which came from another world – the atmosphere of the Earth. You, practitioners of integrative
medicine, are destined to be among those who bring a vitally important understanding of the life
force/subtle energy to the public. In addition, the more you yourself will “dive” into the world of
subtle energy penetrating all of our physical reality, the more successful will be your mission.
So, may the force be with you, always!

SUBTLE ENERGY 101
LECTURE 8 –
Subtle Energy Effects on Plants and Animals
The study of subtle energy’s effects on various living organisms can definitely help us to
understand more about the laws of interaction of the “life force” with the human body. We begin
with a discussion of subtle energy experiments conducted by biophysicist W.C. Levengood (1925-
2013) on the germination of seeds of different plants. Later we will also review some research
regarding subtle energy’s effects on plant growth.
In his research, Levengood was using subtle energy patterns corresponding to various
elements of the periodic table. These patterns were created with the help of Vital Force technology
by using the method described in the previous lecture. Levengood was the one who suggested
naming those patterns “phantom atoms.” Levengood’s interest in testing such energy patterns led
to his first experiments on seed germination, which were done using water infused with “phantom
atom” energy patterns.
It is worthy of noting that seed germination is a very convenient natural process for
researching subtle energy’s effects—in that, unlike growing seeds in soil, standard seed
germination research involves only water as the variable.
All of Levengood’s experiments with germination were conducted using standard
procedures prescribed by the American Society of Seed Testing. Using special germination paper,
up to 30 seeds per roll were hydrated and placed in a germination chamber with constant
temperature. Spring water was used for the control seeds, while the experimental seeds were
hydrated with water from the same source, but which had been infused with various energy patterns
of “phantom atoms” (PA). Germinated seeds were counted and the seedlings’ heights were
measured on the third, fifth, and seventh days of the experiment.
The first experiments—conducted in 2002—were implemented using seven-year-old
wheat seeds. It is well-established that older seeds have less vitality, creating a stricter condition
for demonstrating the potential effects of subtle energy patterns. The experiments referred to below
employed energy patterns of the following “phantom atoms”: silver (Ag-PA); gold (Au-PA); iron
(Fe-PA); lithium (Li-PA); selenium (Se-PA); and zinc (Zn-PA). The patterns demonstrated very
different influences on germination and growth of wheat seedlings, ranging from suppression to

very significant enhancement of germination rate and length, as well as seedling vitality. A
summary of the results for the seventh day of the experiment is presented below in Table 8.1, using
a parameter introduced by Dr. Levengood, which he called the “development factor” (DF):
These results indicate that different subtle energy patterns can produce dramatically
different influences on internal biochemical processes that determine seed germination and further
development. Fig. 8.1 presents photos of seedlings developed on the seventh day under the

influence of the most beneficial energy pattern—which turned out to be the “phantom atom” of
lithium (Li-PA)—in comparison with the control.
One can see (Fig. 8.2) that water imprinted with the energy pattern Li-PA stimulated a
superior germination rate of 83% in comparison with 43% in the control; in particular, seedlings
growing in that water have much more vigorous root systems and stem development.
Fig. 8.3 shows that the difference between seedling development factors of the sample with
the Li-PA energy pattern and the control was increasing day after day.
The next data for us to review is the result of an experiment Levengood conducted with
fresh wheat seeds. The purpose was to determine if there would be a difference between the effects
that the same energy pattern produces on old versus fresh seeds. What he found is not only
interesting from a scientific point of view, but also might have a practical significance in the
development of future subtle energy applications in agriculture. Interestingly, Levengood found

that 100% concentration of water infused with the same energy pattern of lithium “phantom atom”
(Li-PA) that proved to be so beneficial for “old” seeds did not help to improve the growth factor
of the “young” seeds.
Assuming that it might indicate an excess of the energy needed for those seeds, he tested a
set of progressive dilutions of the energy-infused water. His results are presented in Fig. 8.4.
We can see that for young seeds, enhancement of the development factor reaches
practically the same magnitude as for old seeds at a dilution of the energized water equal to
1:10,000. This finding opens the possibility for practical applications of subtle energy to increase
crop growth and improve plant vitality. Indeed, there are a number of feasible ways of using
modern agricultural watering systems to add a small percentage of energized water to benefit
growing plants.

Levengood continued his experiments with “phantom atom” energy patterns using other
plant seeds, as well. He found that the maximal effect on the development factor of different seeds
was achieved with different energy patterns. Thus, for carrot seeds, the most effective energy

pattern happened to be a pattern related to gold (Au-PA), while for pinto bean seedlings, it was
zinc “phantom atom” (Zn-PA). Fig. 8.5 presents photos of the pinto beans seedlings control group
and a group geminated in the water infused with the energy pattern Zn-PA.
One can see that from the beginning of their development, pinto bean seedlings germinated
in energized water are stronger than those of their control group. The difference between the
seedlings’ vigor becomes much more pronounced on the seventh day after germination (Fig. 8.6).
While less than 15% (2 from 14 germinated) of the control group reached 30 cm, 75% of seedlings
in the experimental group (12 from 16 germinated)1 reached 30 cm or more.
Fig. 8.7 shows the distribution of seedling heights in a control group and in experimental
groups germinated in water infused with subtle energy patterns Li-PA (that was the most effective
subtle energy pattern for wheat seedlings) and Zn-PA. Looking at the results, it is obvious that for

pinto beans, the zinc “phantom atom” energy pattern produced the most robust seedlings. On
average, they were 50% taller than those in the control group. The lithium “phantom atom” pattern
was also beneficial for pinto bean development, producing on average seedlings that were over
20% taller than those in the control group.
Looking at the experimental results presented above, we may conclude that to enhance the
growth of different plant varieties, we need significantly different energy patterns. Though this
deduction seems logical—and might be true in some cases—we need to take into account that the
energy patterns used for the experiments presented here are actually pretty simple ones. They are
simple, not in the sense of the number of frequencies used during the creation of those energy
patterns—for some of them, more than 30 frequencies are involved—but in comparison with the
number of energy patterns influencing plant growth in nature. That is, here we are talking about
chemical compounds in the soil in which plants grow.
Generally, soil contains many minerals combined in complex molecules that have much
more sophisticated subtle energy patterns than single periodic table elements. Taking this into
account, we can assume that it is very possible to create sufficiently sophisticated subtle energy
patterns capable of producing beneficial effects on a wide variety of plants.
Certainly, the development of energy patterns for practical applications in agriculture
demands long-term experiments in open fields. Opportunities for this kind of research have
not yet been made available. But we can see the possibility and potential benefits of applying
subtle energy in agriculture from the results of a year-long experiment that demonstrates the
potential of using complex subtle energy formulas to enhance the quality and productivity of
plant growth.
This experiment was conducted in 2009 at Angel’s Organic Farm located in southern
Oregon, USA. At the farm, wheatgrass (used for juicing) is grown in a greenhouse environment
using standard-sized flats. Based on the farm owner’s initiative, staff at Angel’s Organic Farm
conducted experiments using a subtle energy formula—developed with the help of Vital Force
Technology —to increase plant growth. This formula, named “Healthy Plant,” was composed from
more than 10 energy patterns created with Vital Force Technology. These patterns included
energetic copies of several composts and soil activators used in agriculture, energy patterns of
chlorophyll and humic acid, and several “phantom atoms,” including those corresponding to
phosphorus, sulphur, silicon, manganese, gold and silver.
Page 8 of 18
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 8
The greenhouse was divided in half: one side was set up as a control, and the other side
was set up to test the “Healthy Plant” formula. The wheatgrass in both the control and experimental
batches was grown using the farm’s standard sprouting method. The only different was in the water
used. The control batch was watered using the farm’s well water. The test batch used the same
well water, but which was also run through a filter containing man-made crystals that had been
infused with the “Healthy Plant” formula (using Vital Force Technology).
After two months of testing, it was clear that the wheatgrass grown with the “Healthy Plant”
water was superior in comparison to the control.
After a year of observation, the following conclusions were presented by the experimenters
at the farm:
1. Juice from wheatgrass growing with “Healthy Plant” water has a superior taste; it
is sweet and rich tasting, a pleasure to drink.
2. “Healthy Plant” juice has lower sugar than the control’s juice, as measured by the
Brick test. (This result is actually surprising, since the experimental wheatgrass tastes sweeter.)
3. Wheatgrass growing with “Healthy Plant” water showed a 10% increase in growth
rate (when compared to the control).
4. “Healthy Plant” wheatgrass has a stronger leaf and root structure and is heartier and
more vibrant (see Fig. 8.8-9).

5. The wheatgrass from treated flats produces an average of 60% more juice (in
comparison with the control).
6. Wheatgrass growing with “Healthy Plant” water has a longer shelf life, while
maintaining good flavor. (Normally, wheatgrass turns bitter after a few hours. “Healthy Plant”
wheatgrass maintains its good flavor for up to 2 days.)
Observations made during the experiments described above allow us to make conclusions
that can be useful while working with more advanced forms of living organisms than plants,
including the human body. Let us formulate these conclusions.
Different energy patterns can have very different effects on the same plant, from
strong support of germination and initial growth processes to significant suppressions of them.
Therefore, we need to meticulously test the effects of various energy patterns when pursuing the
stimulation of any specific biological function.
Old seeds demand a much higher amount of energy to stimulate their germination
than young seeds. Obviously, this demonstrates the necessity of carefully determining the dosage
of the energetic influence, based on the conditions of the subject.

Comparison of wheat grass crops
Grown in “Healthy Plant” Control
Page 10 of 18

Different plants demanded different energy patterns for optimal stimulation of their
development. This signifies that when trying to influence various bio-chemical processes, we
might need to use distinctly different energy patterns.
Some complex energy patterns are able to produce more sophisticated changes in
the biochemistry of plants. This was confirmed by results showing that the “Healthy Plant” energy
pattern, which is much more complex than the “phantom atoms,” positively affected not only the
germination, growth and amount of wheatgrass, but also significantly changed the chemical
content of it, which was reflected in the taste of the wheatgrass juice and its sugar content.
These last two observations, when combined together, lead to the conclusion that the more
complex biological processes we intend to influence, the more sophisticated subtle energy patterns
we likely would need to use. In other words, those energy patterns should have informational
content that is sufficiently complex.
From this point of view, statements made by some energy medicine practitioners about
human organs being characterized by single frequencies (e.g., “the frequency of the liver is…”)
seem unfeasible. This is like saying you need just one note to play a symphony. While a specific
frequency can have some effect on that organ, to affect the complex biochemical activities of an
organ, a subtle energy pattern should have a much more sophisticated structure than simply using
vibrations with one frequency. Not to mention the fact that frequency, by itself, cannot be
considered an adequate characteristic of any object or process without pointing out what kind of
vibration it is – electromagnetic wave, electrical current, sound, etc. As regards the properties of
the subtle energy field’s vibration, they can be quite different, depending on what kind of physical
vibrations affect the subtle energy field, even when the frequencies of those vibrations are the
same. As we discussed before, even the same kind of vibrations – vibrations of the electron-ion
plasma, – but made from different inert gases, generate subtle energy with the different properties.
Example of Subtle Energy’s effect on animals
You know that pharmaceutical drugs are tested on animals to verify their effectiveness.
While the similarity of many physiological processes in animals and humans is very well known,
their psychological functions can be significantly different. It raises questions about whether the
same subtle energy patterns that are effective in humans are equally effective for animals, and
vice-versa.

At this moment, you cannot find any data on scientific experiments evaluating the influence
of subtle energy on animals. Even Dr. Swanson’s book, Life Forces: The Scientific Basis, which
compiles the experiments on subtle energy conducted by frontier researchers from all over the
world, does not have any information on this topic. Here, I would like to inform you about some
unique experiments that have recently been done measuring the effects of subtle energy on
animals, which will be published in the journal Explore. Also, I will present to you some
“anecdotal” results of a noted veterinarian who experimented on animals for years with subtle
energy patterns, developed with the help of VFT.
The most recent study I want to share with you was conducted on mice at the Laboratory
of Behavioral Pharmacology, University of Latvia (in Riga, the capital of Latvia), using the subtle
energy formula called Stress Relief.
The test that was used in this research is the “Open Field Test,” (Fig. 8.10) which is a
validated method commonly used in neuroscience and pharmacology to measure changes in
movement—exploratory and emotional behavior (risk assessment and anxiety-like behavior)—in
response to stress and/or remedies. We would like to emphasize that this is the first time in the
history of science when subtle energy’s effect on animals was tested using standard pharmaceutical
methodologies.

It is worth noting that in tests conducted with pharmaceutical drugs, animals are usually
injected with these drugs. During the study in question, mice were not injected, but were simply
drinking water with trace minerals in it – some infused with the Stress Relief energy pattern and
some not. During the 9 days of the experiment, all mice were drinking water with trace minerals
(TM), using a concentration of 2 drops per 250 ml of water. Mice drank 4-5 ml of water per day,
which corresponds to approximately 66 drops per day of trace minerals for a human weighing 160
lbs.
40 mice were divided into 4 groups.
Two control groups, 10 mice in each, did not drink Stress Relief. One control group didn’t
go through the stress test (Group #1). The mice of the other control group were stressed using the
“Porsolt Test” (Fig. 8.11) – 5 minutes of swimming in a high-sided container of water (Group #3).
Two experimental groups, 10 mice in each, dranking water with trace minerals infused
with “Stress Relief.” The mice of one experimental group didn’t go through the stress test (Group
#2), while the mice of the other experimental group were stressed using the same “Porsolt Test”
(Group #4).
As I’ve already mentioned, exploration and anxiety-like behaviors were measured using
the Open Field Test, a pharmacologically well-validated test.
The software program that was used, Spontaneous
Motor Activity Recording and Tracking (SMART), allowed
automatic tracking of the position and movements of the mice
and calculations of:
The distance traveled
Maximal speed of movements
Duration of fast movements (how many
seconds)
Zone crossing

We would like to note here that for the purpose of maintaining an energetically clean and
harmonious environment in the lab, water with the energetic pattern “Clean Sweep” was sprayed
throughout the lab each day, prior to testing the mice.
Fig 8.13 presents an example of the mice’s tracks recorded by SMART software in the
Open Field Test.

One can see with the naked eye that mice from both groups-drinking Stress Relief (the non-
stressed experimental Group #2 and the stressed experimental Group #4)-were much more active
than the mice of both the non-stressed and stressed control groups.
Let us look at the parameters of the mice’s behavior, as calculated by the SMART software.
Below, we will see a number of charts indicating both the control and experimental groups’
performances

The first is a chart (Fig.
8.14) illustrating the distance
walked by the non-stressed and
stressed mice of the control
groups that didn’t drink Stress
Relief (SR). We can see that
stress definitely diminishes these
mice’s activity.
When we compare the
activity of mice drinking “Stress
Relief” with the activity of the
control group (Fig. 8.15), we can
see that mice of both groups,
stressed and non-stressed, were
noticeably more active than mice
of the control groups.

Mice of both groups drinking water with the Stress Relief formula also significantly
outperformed non-stressed mice of the control group in maximal walking-speed, as well as
(Fig.8.16) in duration of fast movements (Fig.8.17).

An especially
large difference can be
seen between the
behaviour of the mice
drinking Stress Relief
and those not drinking
water with Stress Relief,
in the parameters
presenting the mice’s fear
level, namely, the
numbers of the “no fear”
zone crossings (Fig.8.18)
and time spent in that
zone (Fig.8.19).
It needs to be
noted here that stressed
mice drinking Stress
Relief dramatically
outperformed all groups,
including non-stressed
mice drinking Stress
Relif – in fact, the
difference with stressed
mice not drinking Stress
Relief exceeded 500%!
This result shows that the Stress Relief energetic formula effectively normalizes the adaptive response
to stress, which is neccessary for safeguarding the body’s health under the impact of stress.
Summarizing all of these results, we can conclude that this experimental study proved the
Stress Relief formula stimulates a strong anti-stress action. Since exposure to the Stress Relief
subtle energy pattern not only reverses stress-induced hypomotility, but also increases the number

of “no fear zone” crossings, it can
be concluded that this energetic
formula reduces the fear and stress
of the treated animals.
Along with the Open Field
test, the blood glucose level in all
mice groups was measured to
determine physiological changes
produced by stress (Fig.8.20). Tests
showed that mice in the stressed
group that didn’t drink water with
Stress Relief had significantly
elevated levels of glucose in the blood – 30% higher than in the control group. The stressed mice
that drank water with Stress Relief had the same glucose level as the non-stressed mice in the control
group. Test results showing normalization of the blood glucose level of the stressed mice group to the
level of the non-stressed control group also supports the efficacy of the Stress Relief formula.
At the end of this lecture, I would like to mention some other results that were observed by
veterinarian Dr. Gary Tran at the Animal Emergency Center in Lousiville, Kentucky. Over a period
of a decade, he used various subtle energy patterns created by VFT on animals he was treating for
a variety of disorders. This is what Dr. Tran says about these energy patterns’ effects on animals:
“They speed up the recovery of many severe and sometimes seemingly hopeless
conditions. Reversal of severe symptoms like coma, intractable pain, shock and hemorrhage,
occurs in hours, instead of days, like before.”
Some of the subtle energy patterns, according to Dr. Tran, “are very useful before and after
risky and prolonged surgical procedures in traumatized and debilitated patients. Uneventful and
rapid healing can be expected.”
In summarizing all of what we have discussed today, we can conclude that properly
arranged subtle energy patterns can very significantly influence plant germination and growth, as
well as animals’ health and behavior. Thus, through the many experimental results we have
observed, it is clear that subtle energy has earned the title of “life force.” We will see even more
proof of this in the next lecture.

SUBTLE ENERGY 101
LECTURE 9 –
Subtle Energy Effects on Cellular and Systemic Levels:
Can Subtle Energy Affect Genetic Processes?
In this lecture, we will continue to discuss the wide spectrum of effects of subtle energy on
living organisms on a systematic level as well as on cellular and even on genetic levels.
We already agreed that, if the energy field that we call here “subtle energy” really
represents the “life force” expressed by ancients throughout history, we can expect that it should
affect all living organisms, from bacteria and plants up to humans.
This influence, of course, should be noticeable on all levels of the organism’s structure and
functioning: cells, organs, their communications, etc. – in other words, all operating systems of
the living organism.
As we saw in previous lectures, there is strong experimental evidence that subtle energy is
able to significantly affect the vital functions of cells (the experiments of Dr. Jones – increase in
the survival rate of cells damaged by gamma radiation), plants (increase in the germination rate,
vitality of sprouts, and quantity of crop), and animals (normalization of response to stress on
behavioral and physiological levels). When we speak about the effects of subtle energy on humans,
especially on systemic levels—for example, on the autonomic nervous system, immune system,
metabolism or overall well-being—one can say there are no clinical studies confirming this
important “claim” about subtle energy.
It is true, and obviously we will not have clinical research on subtle energy effects until the
mainstream scientific community will recognize the necessity to do it. However, we cannot wait
for this, and if we want to move forward, we need to advance our knowledge about subtle energy
in the same way ancient practitioners did. For instance, Chinese acupuncturist collected—
speaking in modern terms—“case studies” and summarized their experiences, thus developing
algorithms for using acupuncture, including the principle of “Five Elements.” Nowadays, creative
practitioners of energy medicine are doing the same, and many of them have achieved remarkable
results using energy medicine tools separately and/or in combination with other healing modalities.
As an example I would like to offer to you here the results of some experimental case studies done
by Dr. Jeffrey Marrongelle, D.C., C.C.N. Dr. Marrongelle studied for many years the effects that
Page 2 of 14
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 9
trace minerals infused with various subtle energy patterns produce on patients with different
conditions. The heart rate variability (HRV) test was utilized as a reliable scientific measurement
on autonomic nervous system response and several thousand patients were tested in the course of
this study (Schuylkill Bio-Nutritional, Inc., Schuylkill Haven, Pa, http://bioenergimed.com/).
Here’s a short digression from our topic: For those of you who don’t know about the HRV
test, I would recommend you learn about it and consider using this test in your practice. There are
several different HRV systems on the market. Dr. Marrongelle recommends the “Nerve Express”
system (www.nervexpress.com), which has been approved by the FDA. All HRV systems are
based on statistical analysis of heart rate variability, which serves as a dynamic window into the
functioning of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Measuring variability in heart rate reflects
the synergistic action of the two branches of the ANS, the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and
the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).
As you know, the autonomic nervous system governs practically all physiological
functions, including the action of the heart, secretions of different glands, and the assimilation and
utilization of nutrients, among many other vital activities. We can make an analogy – the ANS is
like a computer running our physiology. Therefore, data about the condition of the ANS is a very
important indicator of the body’s overall wellbeing. Positive or negative changes in a person’s
condition—as indicated by one’s HRV test—occurring as a result of a treatment can show whether
the treatment was successful or not.
Let us go back to Dr. Marrongelle’s experiments with subtle energy patterns. His
conclusion was the following: “Across the board and regardless of category or condition,
consistent repeatable responses were observed. Positive shifts were observed in most of the heart
rate variability (HRV) parameters, particularly in the relationship of the sympathetic to
parasympathetic response. Shifts in heart rate, myocardial response, high frequency and low
frequency neurological function, ‘total power’ and vascular compliance were observed repeatedly.
Positive reactions in reserve power; vascular compliance, reserve capacity, and physical fitness
measurements were seen consistently.
It stands to reason, if one can provide positive influence to the autonomic nervous system
as viewed by the HRV parameters, keeping in mind that the autonomic nervous system is
responsible for 99.99% of all life functions, the use of subtle energy to induce/initiate improvement
of the ANS system can significantly improve one’s physiology and thus one’s quality of life.”

Volume 18, Nos.1, 2, 3, 2002.)
Then he says: “One of the major observations on the use of subtle energy patterns over
time is their ability to enhance the biological actions of all other therapeutic modalities. In many
cases once patients had a sufficient energetic influence induced and supplied by a specific energy
pattern they began to utilize homeopathic, herbal, nutritional remedies and pharmaceuticals in a
more predictable and beneficial way. The data shows there was a decrease in paradoxical reactions
to all forms of therapeutic intervention with the influence of these patterns.”
Dr. Marrongelle’s conclusion supports the notion of subtle energy as a regulator of all
physiological processes in the body.
Let us look at some examples of Dr. Marrongelle case studies (Table 9.1):
The parameter of optimum variability is an important one. An optimal level of variability
of the heart rate is critical to the inherent flexibility and adaptability that characterize healthy
functioning systems. In a health individual, the heart rate represents the effect of the PNS (“rest
and digest”) response, which slows heart rate, and the SNS (“fight or flight”) response, which
accelerates it.

The next two diagrams (Fig.9.1 and Fig.9.2) are other examples of changes in parameters
of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems of patients in upright and supine position, as
measured by the HRV test.
The HRV data presented here, as well as the accumulated data from hundreds of other HRV
tests performed by Dr. Marrongelle and others, confirm once more the ability of subtle energy to
influence all bodily functions, including the so-called “supercomputer” of the body, the autonomic
nervous system.
You might be wondering, “How do you determine which pattern of subtle energy to use to
improve a specific function (or functions) of a particular patient’s body?” This is a very good
question. I know that Dr. Marrongelle used EAV (electro-acupuncture according to Dr. Voll), a
device named “Avatar”, for testing the energy on acupuncture end points and many various energy
patterns from the library of patterns created with the help of Vital Force Technology. Patterns were
chosen that showed the best result in balancing and invigorating the meridian(s) connected to an

organ (or organs) which had a problem. As a rule, energy patterns were infused into concentrated
trace minerals, which made for an easy way of delivering those patterns to the patient’s bodily
systems—that is, by drinking water with several drops of trace minerals added.
As far as I know, many practitioners of integrative medicine are using electro-acupuncture
devices for testing various energy medicine remedies – homeopathics, flower essences, energy-
infused substances, etc. Advanced kinesiology is another modality that has become more
commonly used by integrative medicine practitioners for this purpose. As we’ve already
mentioned in previous discussions, you can find on the internet many books that teach kinesiology.
An example is the popular book, titled, Applied Kinesiology by Robert Frost, Ph.D. and George J.
Goodheart, D.C. (2013).
Let us continue our discussion of the effects occurring on different levels of living
organisms when they are exposed to subtle energy patterns. As we have said before, the name “life
force,” given by the ancient medicine practitioners to subtle energy, suggests it would affect all
levels of the body’s functioning, including the cellular and genetic levels.

Now, I would like to present here some scientific experiments indicating that, indeed,
subtle energy is the force acting on these levels of living organisms. We have already seen the
effect of subtle energy on cells in the experiment of Dr. Jones with cells damaged by gamma
radiation. But one could say the cells used in that experiment, so-called HeLa cells, are not normal
human cells—that they are a cell line of tumor cells that have been used by radiation biologists for
decades. While using them to show that subtle energy is capable of counteracting the damaging
effects of gamma radiation is quite appropriate, it would also be valuable to investigate subtle
energy’s effects on the healthy cells of a human body.
For this purpose, let us look at the experiments conducted at Beach Tree Labs in Rhode
Island and at the Department of Pharmacology in the University of Latvia. Both experiments were
reported at a recent conference of the Society for Scientific Exploration (in San Francisco,
California, in June of 2014). The experiment conducted at Beach Tree Labs was aimed at observing
the effects of various energy patterns created with Vital Force Technology on human dermal
fibroblast (HDF) cells’ viability and longevity. HDF cells were grown in a standard growth medium,
while the experimental cells were grown in the same medium, but were infused with four different
energy patterns: “Cell Longevity,” “Peak Performance,” “Stress Relief” and “Anti-Cancer.” Cells
were seeded at a concentration of 50,000 cells/wells in 2 ml of media in 6-well plates. Each media
infused with one of the energy patterns was placed in its own 6-well plate. Growth was measured by
exposing the cells to a chemical called Alamar Blue (Invitrogen, Inc.). As the cells actively grow,
Alamar Blue is metabolized and a florescent tag is formed. This tag is then measured by a plate
reader to see the relative growth rate of the sample, as compared to the control.
To create stricter conditions and thereby display more prominently the potential effect of
subtle energy patterns, all of the HDF cells were put in a condition of “food deprivation.” To
generate this condition, the growth medium was not changed throughout the entire course of the
experiment. That is, cells grew until they began to die.
Fig. 9.3 presents a comparison of the growth rates of cells during the last stage of growth
(Day 6) and after they began to die (Day 9).
One can see the growth rate of cells grown in all of the energy-infused media is
significantly higher than the control during the growth stage. The best result (82% more than in
the control) was demonstrated by the energy pattern called “Cell Longevity,” which was created
Page 7 of 14
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 9
with VFT specifically for the support of cells’ functioning. The “Peak Performance” energy
pattern, known for enhancement of physical endurance, also significantly stimulated the cells’
growth and viability.
It should be noted that cells in the energy-infused media died much slower than the control
cells: on the 9th day, compared to the control, there were 83% more live cells in the medium infused
with “Stress Relief” and 50% more in the media infused with “Cell Longevity” and “Peak
Performance.” This preserving effect of the subtle energy patterns on the cells situated in the toxic
environment was a surprise for the researchers.
The next experiment was done at the Riga Stradins University in Latvia, focusing on subtle
energy’s ability to influence a cell’s viability and the mitochondrial membrane potential under
“food deprivation” conditions. In addition, the researchers studied subtle energy’s effects on cells
when strong mitochondrial toxins are present (see Table 9.2). The human embryonic kidney cell
line (HEK-293) was used for this experiment. On the first day, cells were grown in 96-well plates
(100 mcl/well) using a medium (DMEM/GlutaMAX-1) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
On the second day, the medium and serum in the plates were changed: the experimental plates

with the medium and serum that were infused with “Cell Longevity” or “Peak Performance.” The
control used the regular medium and serum. On the third day, the media were changed again to
the same media without PBS, in order to create serum deprivation conditions that lasted for the
next 3 days before testing. Then, cell viability was tested by the MTT colorimetric assay, using
the Tecan spectrometer. The cell viability of the control cultures was taken as 100%.
Results of a comparison of the cells grown in energy-infused media and the control are
presented in Fig. 9.4. The “Cell Longevity” energy pattern, like in the previous experiment,

produced the best effect on cell viability – 46% higher than in the control; and “Peak Performance”
showed a 21% increase in comparison with the control.
The next experiment was done with the addition of mitochondrial toxins (i.e., included
with the previously described serum deprivation conditions). Two well-known types of toxins were
used: MMP+ (1-methyl-phenylpyridine) and Rotenone (Fig. 9.5 and 9.6). One can see from the
experimental results (Fig. 9.5) that in the infused media, the viability of cells was better (for both
energy patterns, actually)—not only in comparison with the control containing mitochondrial
poison, but even in comparison with the non-poisoned control.
In case of the Rotenon toxin (Fig. 9.6), “Cell Longevity” improved the viability of cells
more than in the non-poisoned control, while the “Peak Performance” energy pattern enhanced the
cells’ viability to equal that of the control cells.

comparison with non-infused controls. The measurement shows that cells in subtle energy-infused
media had higher membrane potential than even the non-poisoned control with regular growth
media.
Conclusion
All of the experiments discussed above, conducted in two separate laboratories,
demonstrated that subtle energy patterns targeted for the support of cellular health showed an
extraordinary ability to provide high viability and proliferation of cells in food deprivation
conditions, even when mitochondrial poison was added to the media where cells grew.
The last question I would like to discuss in this lecture is the relation of subtle energy to
the genetic processes. Starting in 1990th, a new branch of the molecular genetics appeared in the
biological sciences. As you probably know, this branch is called “epigenetics.” Here is the
description of this branch of science from Wikipedia:
“Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression caused by certain base pairs
in DNA, or RNA, being “turned off” or “turned on” again, through chemical reactions. In biology,
and specifically genetics, epigenetics is mostly the study of heritable changes that are not caused
by changes in the DNA sequence; to a lesser extent, epigenetics also describes the study of stable,
long-term alterations in the transcriptional potential of a cell that are not necessarily heritable.
Unlike simple genetics based on changes to the DNA sequence (the genotype), the changes in gene
expression or cellular phenotype of epigenetics have other causes, thus use of the
term epi- (Greek: επί- over, outside of, around) -genetics.[1]”
All biologists involved in the research of the epigenetics phenomena agree the
environment plays a decisive role in changing the gene expression. Some of them think an
environmental effect has more influence on the cell’s life than the classical genetic changes in the
DNA sequence.
In his book, The Biology of Belief, Dr. Bruce Lipton, states:
“…cell’s life is controlled by the physical and energetic environment and not by its genes.
Genes are simply molecular blueprints used in the construction of cells, tissues and organs. The
environment serves as a “contractor” who reads and engages those genetic blueprints and is
ultimately responsible for the character of a cell’s life. It is a single cell’s “awareness” of the
environment, not its genes, that sets into motion the mechanisms of life.”

You can definitely notice when Dr. Lipton—who is the author of many popular books on
“frontier” biological science—speaks about the “physical and energetic environment” that
influences the gene’s activity. Can it be that the subtle energetic environment plays an essential
role in the phenomenon of epigenetics? While many frontier researchers, including Dr. Lipton,
believe this to be true, there has been no experimental proof to substantiate this belief, up until
recently. Just last year, the first experiments have been conducted (at Beech Tree Labs in
Providence, Rhode Island) confirming subtle energy’s influence on gene expression.
Let us briefly look at the results of the experiments. These experiments were conducted in
vitro using human dermal fibroblasts (HDF). The experimental cells were grown for 24 hours in a
medium infused with a specific subtle energy pattern created with the help of Vital Force
Technology. Then, using a sophisticated technique utilizing microarrays tailored to a specific
disease or a cell process (like inflammation, immune response, etc.), the activity of the cell’s genes
was measured.
I need to mention that growing cells for just 24 hours in an energy-infused media is not a
sufficient period of time to significantly influence the cell’s physiology. In this first experiment,
the researchers, of course, didn’t know that. As we will see later, longer amounts of time growing
cells in the energy-infused media produces much more pronounced effects. Nevertheless, in this
experiment, statistically significant evidence of subtle energy’s effect on the gene regulation was
observed.
TABLE 9.3: Reducing Pain
10:3 Pain Formula:Genom

Let us look at the results of this experiment, in which HDF cells were exposed to a subtle
energy pattern aimed at reducing pain (Table 9.3). One can see a series of genes responsible for
the reaction of the body to pain were down-regulated. One of these genes, a very important gene
TACR1, was down-regulated significantly (up and down regulation for more than 2-fold is
considered as being significant). This receptor 1 (TACR1) is the gene that encodes for the receptor
neurokinin 1 (NK1R). When stimulated by being bound with its activator, this receptor is
associated with the transmission of stress signals and pain as well as the contraction of smooth
muscles and inflammation. Down-regulating this gene would lead to less receptor being produced
and would potentially result in a diminished response to the stimulating pain, decreased
inflammation and less stress on the body. It should be noted the NK1 receptor can be found in both
the central and peripheral nervous system.
Conclusion
Subtle energy alone decreased Tachykinin receptor 1 by -2.14 fold (more than twofold).
Tachykinin receptor 1 is important in the transmission of stress and pain signals in the
central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.
The next experiment conducted in the Beech Tree Labs answered an important question:
“Can subtle energy enhance an effectiveness of drugs?’ The experiment was done using the subtle
energy pattern “Anti-Aging II,” which intends to slow down the aging of cells of the human body.
As a drug, M2 was manufactured by Eudaemonic under the name RVI (Rubeola Virus
Immunomodulation – U.S. Vet. Lic. No.: 385). It is an inactivated Rubeola virus combined with
histamine phosphate in physiological saline. It contains phenol as a preservative and aids in the
healing process leading to the decrease or elimination of myofascial inflammation.
In this experiment, M2 was added to the growth media of cells. Another group of cells
grew in the same media, but was infused with the subtle energy pattern “Anti-Aging II.” This time
cells were grown in the energized media for 72 hours. To explore any possible effect of subtle
energy on the drug, M2 was added to the cells grown in the energized media. Then, the genetic
activities of the cells of both groups were compared.
Let us look at the results (Table 9.4). The “Anti-Aging II” formula enhanced M2’s impact
on Gene C3 by 58% and the impact on CX3CL1 by 136%. Additionally, the subtle energy
significantly (more than 3-fold) up-regulated genes that M2 alone does not. We can see that
growing cells in the energized media for longer time leads to a significantly stronger effect on the
Page 14 of 14
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 9
gene expression. Interestingly, most genes being regulated with M2 (and M2 with subtle energy)
are genes involved in the immune system.
It needs to be pointed out here that Gene BUBIB, promoting a proper chromosome
segregation, was down-regulated by M2 alone, which is not a good thing. An addition of the subtle
energy pattern to M2 up-regulated this gene almost 3-fold back to normal.
Summary
We can now see subtle energy really affects our life on all levels, including the deepest level
of the regulation of biochemical processes in the body: the genetic level.
The pilot experiments we’ve discussed—focusing on the targeted regulation of drug activity
by the technologically produced subtle energy patterns—open a totally new perspective for the
creation of tools for integrative medicine.
The effect of subtle energy on the genes’ activity can explain many puzzles of the
environmental influence on our lives, including the phenomena of epigenetics.
Of course, we have made just a small step in that direction, and a huge amount of work needs
to be done for the understanding of subtle energy role in the area of genetics. Our hope is that
conventional science will soon understand the reality of subtle energy’s effects on our lives and
will include subtle energy research in its agenda.

SUBTLE ENERGY 101
LECTURE 6 –
Properties of Subtle Energy
In this lecture, we begin surveying the results of the experiments on subtle energy
properties that became possible after development of the technology capable of generating,
recording, and reproducing subtle energy patterns. As we discussed before, this development
allows us to conduct experiments with subtle energy that follow the rules of modern science. One
of the main rules is the demand for repeatability of the experimental conditions.
First of all, we will discuss experiments that answer many questions about the properties
of energetic patterns of substances. We will see that knowledge of these properties opens new
opportunities for the practical use of specifically targeted subtle energy patterns. This knowledge
also makes it possible to suggest an explanation for the mechanisms behind some unusual
phenomena, including the effects of the human mind on water, observed in the experiments of
Masaru Emoto. So, let us start with experiments related to…
Subtle energy patterns of substances
and their response to external influences
As we established in the previous lectures, subtle energy patterns of various substances can
be significantly different from each other. This statement was confirmed by the original
experiments with Vital Force Technology. It was found that precisely identical vibrations of
plasma made of different gases—for instance, inert gases: helium, neon, argon and krypton—
created subtle energy patterns with different properties. This finding was confirmed by
observations of their effects on both acupuncture meridians and the autonomic nervous system
(measured by EAV devices and Heart Rate Variability tests, respectively). It supports the
conclusion that each periodic table element is characterized by a unique subtle energy pattern.
At the same time, as we discussed in the previous lectures, chemically identical substances
can have somewhat different subtle energy patterns.
Indeed, it is logical to assume that the subtle energy pattern of a particular substance, to a
certain extent, depends on the environment where the substance was formed. For example, the
same herb growing in different places might have slightly different subtle energy patterns. Similar
Page 2 of 15
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 6
phenomenon can be expected in the case of crystals: alpha quartz crystals that have been formed
in different places of the earth will have different SE patterns.
Obviously, deviations from the ideal crystalline structure can create some difference in
their SE patterns. In addition, it is important to realize that the energetic conditions of the
environment at the time of their formation can also be significantly different. This can lead to
variations in the configuration of UPA’s in the nucleus of silicon and oxygen, resulting in
supplementary variations of the subtle energy patterns of the crystals. However, since all of these
crystals are made up of the same substance, silicon-oxygen tetrahedral (SiO4), and belong to the
trigonal crystal system, we can expect that their subtle energy patterns are, nevertheless, very
similar.
Thus, an analogy could be made that chemically identical substances “sing the same song,
but with different voices.” The question then arises: how stable are these “voices”? Are external
influences able to change just “voices,” or can even the “song” be changed? In other words, could
some external source of subtle energy dramatically change the subtle energy pattern of a
substance?
To find an answer to this question is of practical importance. As it follows from our
previous discussions, any substance when introduced to the human body has dual effects on the
bodily functions: chemical and energetic. Energetic influences occur through the flow of subtle
energy in acupuncture meridians, which can be influenced by the SE pattern of the substance. This
may explain why chemically identical substances sometimes have noticeably different effects on
the body.
Also, we will see that answering this question can help to open some innovative avenues
for research and practical applications of subtle energy.
Changing properties of the trace minerals solution
by subtle energy patterns created with Vital Force Technology
As an object for experiments with altering subtle energy patterns of a substance by using
an external energetic influence, we selected a concentrated solution of trace minerals in water,
which is commonly used as a supplement of the trace minerals: Omnimin TM Solution,
manufactured by Mineral Resources Int, Inc., Utah. This choice was based on the assumption that
changes in the subtle energy patterns of the trace minerals in water would be reflected in the
Page 3 of 15
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 6
structure of water. Basically, changes in the water structure are simpler to register than changes in
properties of more complicated chemical substances. It is known that changes in the structure of
water and other liquids can be analyzed by a Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) device (Korotkov
2002).
In the middle of the 20th century, Semyon and Valentina Kirlian discovered the existence
of the form of a luminescence coming from the live matter exposed in a high-voltage, alternating
electrical field. This effect has received the name, the Kirlian Effect.
The GDV device is a computerized Kirlian camera (Fig. 6.1) that employs photographic
images of electrical coronal discharges of objects placed in a strong alternating electrical field.
When a drop of liquid (trace mineral solution, in our case) is analyzed, the GDV calculates the
amount of fragments in the luminescent emission coming from the liquid. Obviously, the amount
of fragments reflects the degree of the solution’s structuring: a smaller amount of fragments
corresponds to a more structured solution.
Several energy patterns were considered for the experiments. As a criterion for the
difference between them, we took into account their very different physiological activities. We
chose the following SE patterns:
1. The water droplet is suspended at the end of a syringe.
2. A current comes through the camera, stimulating Kirlian luminescence.
3. The camera captures an image of this luminescence.

#1. An SE pattern affecting the brain’s electrical activity
#2. This pattern demonstrated the ability to rejuvenate damaged cells
#3. The same SE pattern as #2, but with the addition of the elemental quality “earth” to
the “wood and fire” qualities of energy pattern #2. The purpose of this addition was to see if
changing an elemental quality of a pattern without changing its frequency spectrum would change
the effect of the pattern on the trace mineral solution’s structure.
#4. A pattern affecting the autonomic nervous system
#4a. The same SE pattern as #4, but infused into trace minerals three times longer. The
purpose of this extended infusion was to see if a longer exposure would produce a noticeable
change in the solution’s structure.
The results of the experiment demonstrating how these subtle energy patterns influenced
the trace mineral solution’s structure are presented in Fig. 6.2.
Fig 6.2 shows the GDV parameter, “Number of Fragments” (of Kirlian luminescence), as
Fig. 6.2
GDV Parameter: Number of Fragments
Page 5 of 15
Copyright © 2014 by Yury Kronn – Quantum University – Subtle Energy 101 – Lecture 6
registered by the camera during several seconds of measurement. This parameter indicates to what
degree the luminescent area (and, correspondingly, the solution) is structured. The fewer the
number of fragments, the more structured the solution is. Each measurement was taken three times,
to ensure consistency of the results.
One can see the subtle energy patterns used in this experiment produce very different
structuring effects on the solution into which they are infused. The amount of fragments in the case
of the mineral solution infused with the subtle energy pattern #1 is practically no different than in
the un-infused solution (approx.340 fragments)1. However, pattern #4 produces a very strong
structuring effect (approx. 56 fragments).
All other subtle energy patterns produce a structuring effect that falls in between these two
numbers. What is most important to note is that curves for the various subtle energy patterns are
clearly distinguishable from each other.
It should be emphasized that SE pattern #3, with the elemental qualities of Wood, Fire, and
Earth, clearly has a different effect than pattern #2, which has the elemental qualities of Wood and
Fire. This indicates noticeably different properties of the pattern with the same frequency
spectrum, but with different qualities of the Five Elements.
This finding confirms what follows from Traditional Chinese Medicine—the properties of
subtle energy (or “chi”) cannot be adequately described by the “amplitude-frequency” language
currently used in electromagnetic energy field theory.
Comparison of the curves for patterns #4 and #4a shows that infusion of the same pattern
into a trace mineral solution three times longer caused a step-down of the fragments counted by
the GDV, but the reduction was less than three times (1.5 times). This result indicates the presence
of a saturation effect when the substance is subjected to the strong subtle energy emission for a
longer period of time.
Important conclusions can be derived from this experiment, when we take into account that
changes in the structure of water indicate the interaction of water molecules is changed as a result
of the infusion of subtle energy patterns. This is possible only if the configuration of water
1 We need to remember that even an exactly equal amount of fragments in liquids does not necessarily indicate the
presence of the same structure and consequently identical biological properties of the liquids.
Page 6 of 15

molecules is changed. The molecules of water, H2O, geometrically form a triangle (Fig. 6.3).
Changing the interaction between molecules, which is necessary for altering the water structure,
can occur only if the “H2O triangle” is changed (Fig 6.3). This, in turn, is evidence that the
interatomic bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms have been changed as a result of the
infusion of subtle energy patterns. The latter finding indicates the alteration of the properties of
hydrogen and oxygen atoms by subtle energy patterns.
As we discussed in the previous lectures, these alterations can be a result of structural
changes in the configuration of the “ultimate physical atoms”/subquarks in the nuclei of hydrogen
and oxygen. Such a hypothesis seems very logical. (I invite any researcher to provide an alternative
hypothesis to explain these experimental findings.)
Another confirmation of the changes happening in the water molecule under the influence
of subtle energy is the experimental observation of changes in the frequency spectrum of vibrations
of the molecule, detected with the help of Raman spectroscopy. The latter is a laser-based
spectroscopy, which measures any shift in the frequency of the scattered laser light occurring due
to the vibrations of the water molecules (Fig. 6.4). The intensity and frequency of the scattered
light allow for the determining parameters of chemical bonds in the molecule. Changes in the

Raman spectrum of water under the influence of subtle energy were first observed in the previously
mentioned experiments involving Dr. Yan Xin (Zuyin 1997, p.325) (Swanson 2010, p.34).
Subtle energy (“external qi,” using the language of Chinese researchers), which was
directed by Qi Gong master Dr. Yan Xin, dramatically changed the parameters of the Raman
spectrum in various liquids: water, saline, glucose and medemycine solutions. Examples of
changes in the Raman spectrum of water are presented in Fig. 6.5 (Zuyin 1997, 334 Fig. 6).
It is worth mentioning here that, just as in experiments conducted on the alteration of the
radioactive decay rate, Dr. Yan Xin was able to induce changes in the vibrational spectrum of
molecules from a great distance (more than 1,000 miles). Such a finding once more clearly
indicates the nonlocal nature of the subtle energy field and its intrinsic connection with the human
mind.

Like in the case of structural changes in water discussed above, changes in the vibrational
spectrum of water detected by Raman spectroscopy signify changes in the chemical bonding of
the water molecules, which is possible only if the properties of hydrogen and oxygen atoms are
changed.
It should be noted the huge peak induced in the Raman spectrum of tap water disappeared
within two hours. We can assume this happened due to the dissipation of the energy infused into
the water by Dr. Yan Xin.
Raman spectroscopy is widely used in conventional physics, and we turned to it in an
attempt to confirm the results presented above, which were achieved with the help of the GDV
method, a protocol not yet accepted by the scientific community at large. Samples of the mineral
solution infused with several subtle energy patterns generated by Vital Force Technology were
sent to Penn State University’s Materials Research Laboratory, which at the time was involved in
the “Bios-Materials Research Initiative,” aimed to investigate phenomena at the interface between
materials science and living organisms. The author of this initiative, Professor Rustom Roy, was
one of the world’s most distinguished and honored materials scientists and widely known as an
initiator of many frontier projects, among them “Whole Person Healing.”
As shown in Fig. 6.6, Raman spectra of the samples confirmed that different SE patterns
infused by VFT equipment into a mineral solution produced diverse changes in the vibrational
spectrum of water molecules.
Below is a quote from one of the researchers from the Materials Research Lab, Dr. Tania

“Our chemical analyses confirmed Kronn’s claims: all samples were chemically identical
within reason. Structurally, however, the initial Raman spectroscopy data indicated that they were
different: each had a unique structural signature corresponding to differing vibrational energy
states” (Slawecki 2007).
Thus, both the GDV method and Raman spectroscopy showed that external subtle energy
flow, whether generated technologically or directed by the human mind, can significantly change
the SE pattern of a substance. Changes of the vibrational frequencies of water molecules under the
influence of an energy medicine practitioner employing therapeutic touch technique was also
observed using infrared spectroscopy (Schwartz, et al. 1990).
Using the analogy suggested earlier, we can say that a strong external subtle energy
influence is able to change not just the “voice” singing the “energetic song” of the substance, but
the “song” itself, as well.
As we discussed earlier, along with the change of the subtle energy pattern of a substance,
the structure of the molecules of this substance can be altered, as well. In such cases, if this
substance is later involved in a chemical reaction, then the parameters of this reaction, such as its
speed or its outcome, can be demonstrably changed, when compared with the same reaction
involving the same substance that has not been influenced by subtle energy. This can explain
experimental observations that have been made of subtle energy’s effects on the speed of chemical
reactions (Zuyin 1997) (Chen 2004).
Summarizing the above, we need to stress that substances that seemingly look chemically
identical can produce a distinctly different biological effect on a human organism. The differences
in the substances’ SE patterns can exhibit themselves in two ways: through their effect on the
energetic system (acupuncture meridians, chakras, etc.) and through changing the path of the
biochemical reactions in which the substance participates.
The practical importance of this phenomenon depends, of course, on how long the
energetically altered state of a substance can last. To begin to answer this question, we can look at
the results of all the experiments conducted by the research scientists in China (noted earlier) on
changing properties of substances using energy directed by Dr. Yan Xin, as well as our own
experiments with using technologically generated subtle energy.
As we saw, the Raman spectrum of tap water in experiments with Dr. Yan Xin came back
to its original state in just two hours. In another experiment conducted by the same scientists,
Page 10 of 15

changes in the spectrum of a saline solution lasted for at least four days (Zuyin 1997, 335). During
these four days, no reversion of the spectra of the glucose and medemycin water solutions were
observed, either. Unfortunately, no report on the observations of the long-term behavior of these
spectra have been published.
In our own rigorously controlled experiments with a concentrated mineral solution, specific
biological properties of the SE patterns (such as pattern #4 on page 4, affecting the autonomic
nervous system) infused into the solution could be observed several years after the infusion!
The results discussed above indicate that the lifetime of energetically altered water depends
on the amount of minerals (i.e., periodic table elements) that have been diluted in the water.
Organic, as well as crystalline, substances infused with SE patterns using VFT equipment also
demonstrated lifetimes spanning years. One can see these findings open up a wide range of
possibilities for scientific research and practical applications of subtle energy.
Another practically important question is this: How efficiently do substances infused with
SE patterns pass on their energetic properties to other substances, especially water, which is the
greatest common constituent of all living organisms on Earth?
Undoubtedly, answering this question can provide keys for understanding the mechanisms
of subtle energy’s effects on living organisms, as well as show new ways of developing
contemporary tools for energy medicine.
For instance, if the substance carrying a subtle energy pattern with specific energetic
properties is able to effectively transfer its properties to the bodily fluids, it is easy to see how the
whole energetic system of the body can be affected by these substances.
On the other hand, this phenomenon obviously can be used for delivering the healing
properties of SE patterns to living organisms. An experiment we will discuss next shows that a
mineral solution is one of the vehicles that can be successfully used as a subtle energy delivery tool.
Subtle energy transfer between mineral solution and drinking water
To investigate an example of the subtle energy exchange between substances—which has
both scientific and practical significance—we used the GDV method to see how several drops of
mineral solution infused with a specific SE pattern could change the structure of regular drinking
water. The results are presented in Fig. 6.7 below.

Three samples with a concentration of 10 drops of mineral solution per 4oz of water were
used in this experiment. The curves on Fig. 6.7 represent the results of tasting of these water
samples using a GDV camera:
a) Water with un-infused minerals
b) Water with minerals infused with pattern #4 (see page 4)
c) Water sample directly infused by VFT equipment with pattern #4.
In the case presented, 10 drops of trace mineral solution infused with the SE pattern #4
placed into 4 ounces of drinking water (dilution of about 1:200) decreased the average number of
fragments in the luminescence of water from 280 to 40. One can see the structuring of water created
by these drops is close to the level of the structuring of water produced by direct infusion of the
same SE pattern (see Figure 6.7, Curve “c”).

This means that just a small number of drops of mineral solution infused with a specific
SE pattern actually transferred properties of that pattern into a volume of water 200 times larger.
We can say that the unique information (including distinct biological activity) of the pattern was
assigned to the whole volume of water. This fact can also be reaffirmed by direct testing of the
biological properties of the water – we will discuss this topic later.
We need to make some remarks here about possible mechanisms of the biological effects
produced by water structured in different ways than described above. Our experiments indicated
that each SE pattern creates a unique water structure. This suggests that, just as any substance has
a unique SE pattern, so any water that has been structured (no matter how the structure was created)
will have the subtle energy pattern specific for this structure.
Thus, the conclusion can be made that the healing properties of structured water (if any)
are therefore defined by the subtle energy pattern specific to this structure.
Because we now know that a mineral water solution can be an effective delivery vehicle
for SE patterns, a wide range of possible practical applications and scientific investigations of the
properties and effects of subtle energy has been opened up. In the following lectures, we will
present a wide spectrum of experimental results achieved with the use of SE-infused mineral
solutions. Of course, other substances, including organic ones, can be used as carriers of subtle
energy patterns.
At the end of this lecture, I would like to mention that the effect of the structuring water by
various subtle energy patterns that we discussed today suggests the mechanism of Masaru Emoto
effect (Fig. 6.8). I am sure all of you know about Emoto’s famous experiments with water under
the influence of different “intentions.”

When this water was frozen the ice crystals produced were radically different in shape,
depending on the nature of the intent. Some of these shapes are depicted in Fig. 6.9.
This experiment confirms, once again, that subtle energy is the agent that transfers
information from the human mind – in this case, to water. Since different subtle energy patterns
produce different structures of water, we can expect that this will be reflected in the differences
between the ice crystals formed by the water.
In the next picture (Fig. 6.10), we can see experimental confirmation of this conclusion
that various subtle energy patterns are responsible for formation of different crystalline water

structures. In this experiment, the ice crystal formations were produced by infusing different
energy patterns into water, using the Vital Force technological process.
As you can see in Fig. 6.10, different energy patterns produced very different crystal
structures. These experiments provide further confirmation that subtle energies, whether
programmed by the mind or technologically, can cause changes in the water’s structure and
consequently in the shape of frozen water crystals. The energy patterns used for this experiment
were the same patterns that were used in the GDV experiment we discussed today.
Conclusion
1. The process of the formation of the substances and energies of the physical world,
following from Dr. Phillips’ analysis of the observations of sub-quarks by Besant and
Leadbeater, makes it possible to understand there are “connecting points” between
electromagnetic and subtle energy. Consequently, this allows us to figure out technological
methodologies to harness subtle energy.
2. A technological way of generating specific (as well as repeatable and consistent) subtle
energy patterns opens wide the door of possibilities for rigorous scientific research into the
properties and effects of subtle energy.
3. In the course of experiments with generating subtle energy using electron-ion plasma it
was confirmed that each of the periodic table elements—which are the cornerstones of all
substances—is characterized by a unique subtle energy pattern.
4. The generation of SE patterns with distinctly different properties—carried out by applying
precisely identical vibrations to plasma made of different inert gases—confirmed that mere
“frequency-amplitude” language is not sufficient to describe subtle energy properties. This
supports the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach to subtle energy as having five
elemental properties (“fire,” “earth,” “metal,” “water,” and “wood”).
5. Experiments with trace mineral solutions (i.e., a mixture of many of the periodic table
elements) infused with distinctly different SE patterns showed that a strong external
influence can dramatically change the SE pattern of the solution; also, these changes can
last for years.
6. Subtle energy, generated technologically or directed by the human mind, can change the
structure of molecules. As a result, SE can influence the path of some chemical reactions
(including biochemical ones).

7. “Structured” water healing properties, widely discussed by alternative health professionals,
are characterized by specific subtle energy patterns corresponding to particular structures.
The “lifetime” of structured water’s effects depends on the amount of mineral content in
the water. Demineralized water holds an infused SE pattern only for a matter of hours.
8. A relatively small volume of mineral solution infused with a specific SE pattern is able to
transfer the properties (including biological activity) of the pattern to a volume of water
hundreds of times larger. This finding makes it possible to practically apply this
phenomenon for creating “energetic remedies” with specific biological effects. It also
paves the way for research on the mechanism of homeopathic remedies formation.
It needs to be stressed here that we are currently just in the beginning of building up a
hopefully vast library of phenomenological scientific research on subtle energy. Many questions
need to be answered to fully understand the wide-ranging “rainbow” of properties and practical
applications of subtle energy. For instance, the results discussed in this chapter cannot explain why
demineralized water is not capable of retaining subtle energy patterns infused into it. Does this
mean that only periodic table elements heavier than oxygen (and therefore having a more complex
nuclear structure) are capable of “holding” changes produced by an external subtle energy
influence?
We hope that future research into the nature of subtle energy will answer this and many
other questions. Nevertheless, we will see in the following lectures that what we have already
learned about subtle energy, combined with the ability to technologically generate SE patterns, can
rapidly propel forward our understanding of how to beneficially use subtle energy for scientific
and practical purposes, as well as explain many puzzling “supernatural” phenomena, previously
either ignored or denied by mainstream science.
