Many people who have a disease in their body think they have to change the particular disease to make some “thing” like a tumor go away. As a result, they take the time to perform all the prescribed treatments and protocols. They may change their diet, take chemotherapy, practice yoga, drink kale smoothies, undergo surgery, and so on. 

While these actions can certainly be effective, and while it is definitely important to eat healthily, exercise, and take care of your physical well-being, the belief that these prescribed steps are the only way to heal has to change. Why? Because if you understand that the disease exists as a pattern in the field (in addition to existing in matter), then if you change the field, you change matter. What do I mean?

Mystics have always said, and now scientists, that physical reality is an illusion. To dissect this idea, we first need to look at what reality is, or rather, what it is generally accepted to be.

At first glance, the 3D reality in which we live is made up of people, places, things, objects, and time. Time is when you move from one point of consciousness to another point of consciousness (as in, I am sitting at the kitchen table and want to get something from the refrigerator). When you collapse those two points of consciousness, you collapse space, and as you collapse space, you experience time.

Attention

If where you place your attention is where you place your energy, and if you are constantly placing your attention on all of the elements in your outer environment that cause you emotional stress (for example, people, places, objects, things, and time), then over time you become habituated into living by the hormones of stress, as well as the resulting chemicals they produce. Because those very chemicals heighten our senses, they cause us to narrow our focus on material things. The more we do this, the more we become addicted to inflammatory emotions. This is how we become materialists only, seeing matter as separate from its radiant field of light energy.

In addition, by living in a constant state of survival, in time we rob the body’s natural field of light by turning it into a limited chemistry. The chronic long-term effects of living under this type of survival-stress limits our ability to feel connected to the field. The result is we start to experience separation, and we fall into the illusion of matter trying to change matter. Then the healing takes time because we have to get up and move our body through space to get what we want.

As a materialist, because we are so focused on the people, places, objects, things, and time in our environment, the understanding is that if you can’t see it, it doesn’t exist. But this is the great cosmic joke or the grand illusion—just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. To believe the opposite is how we get conditioned into putting our attention on everything material.

If where you place your attention is where you place your energy, and all your attention is invested in this 3D reality, then you will have to play by the rules of Newtonian physics. Thus, if you have a tumor or a disease and you want to heal or change your life, because you are matter trying to change matter, it’s going to take time. The more you believe you are your body—localized in space and time—the more you try, force, control, predict, manipulate, or do whatever it is you think you have to do in order to heal or change your life.

But that’s not the end of the story…as there is an inverse of materialism. Let’s look at what happens when you disinvest your attention out of this 3D reality and invest it into the field, a place in which only energy, light, and information exists as frequency.

To the Inverse of Materialism

If you took your attention off of your body, your life, your identity, the things you own, the people you know, the places you go, and the concept of time, the only thing you’d be left with is pure consciousness. That means you’d be disinvesting your attention and energy out of this 3D reality and placing it on this immaterial realm called the quantum field—a place in which only energy, light, and information exist as frequency. 

And if where you place your attention is where you place your energy, and if you place all of your attention on this invisible field of energy that can’t be experienced with your senses—only with your awareness (or consciousness)—then you would be investing your attention and energy into the field. This is the realm that gives birth to matter. But how does matter take form?

If you stripped an atom down to its raw essentials, all that exists is energy and information, but the atom is not without design. Even at that quantum level, there exists within a structure and orderliness. So, there must be some intelligence or force that is unifying and ordering the atom. 

The question then is—if you could get beyond your body, beyond the people in your life, the things you own, the places you visit, and time itself—if you took your attention off of everything material, could you connect to this energy? And if you could connect with this more organized, more coherent energy, would it not bring more organized and coherent energy into your body and life, both internally and externally?

What gives life to matter is energy. Every form and structure of life—from humans, to plants, to plankton, down to the cell—has an energy field around it. That field creates a pattern around the life form—and that pattern also exists as energy in the field. Most people think that matter is emitting some type of vibration, light, or information, or that it’s matter which is emitting the field. But according to the quantum model of reality, it’s not matter that emits the field—it’s the field that creates matter.

So, if the pattern exists as a frequency or as light in the field, in order for you to begin to really heal something or change something, you would have to get beyond everything known in your life and enter the unknown where healing exists. When you do that, now you’re swimming easily, returning to source, and you’re no longer putting your attention on the tumor or whatever that thing is in your life that you’re trying to alter or create. Instead, what you’re doing is changing the pattern in the field. And if you understand that you are changing it in the field—and you continue to change it in the field—if you can keep changing the pattern in the field, then something new will begin to holographically be projected into 3D reality.

Think of it this way: Imagine for a moment the lightbulb of a slide projector shining outward. Then imagine a photo slide existing in the light field of the projector. The slide is the pattern in the light, but the reality we are observing that appears on the screen is nothing more than a hologram projected from the pattern. 

Trying to change a health condition matter to matter is like trying to change the image projected on the screen instead of changing the slide. Now, if you apply this concept to the idea of health, the appearance of that healing in your life occurs because the hologram being projected from source is changing the pattern in the field.

So, if you are trying to change matter with material things, then you are believing in the illusion that matter is more real than energy, but the reality is you can’t have life without energy, so you have to get beyond matter in order to change matter. Every time you change the pattern in the field, you are literally changing the pattern in 3D reality. When you become a powerful enough creator, then you don’t have to worry about changing matter as matter.

Instead, you’ll focus on changing matter by changing the pattern in the field. Change the field, you change matter.

Since 2010, he has partnered with scientists and universities to perform extensive research on the effects that meditation has on the brain and body. During his advanced retreats around the world, his team has gathered more than 8000 brain scans (quantitative QEEG) and 4000 heart-rate variability measurements (HRV) in an attempt to correlate the effects that sustained elevated emotions and self-regulation have on heart and brain function, immune response, and overall mind-body health. He and his team have also studied gene expression, protein regulation, immune response, neurotransmitter changes, telomere length, and variations in bioactive cellular metabolic particles in both novice and advanced meditators.
