Chapters 4-6

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am really enjoying this book. It has been on my mind all weekend and it has sparked some pretty interesting conversations between my fiancé and I. I have found myself walking around and thinking about the ideas and concepts brought up in these chapters and the effects that they could potentially have on how we as a human race see and understand things.
This book has given me a new found sense of awe for water and all it can do. The concept of water as a conductor and amplifier of bodily processes, let alone the idea that each and everything that exists has a frequency is amazing. Could you imagine how much cheaper health care would be if you could imprint the frequency of a life saving (and ridiculously expensive) drug into a vile of pure water and have the same desired (live saving) affect? Not only that but basic science as it is taught now would be turned on its head. I had to laugh at myself this weekend. On Friday, I had only just read the first (4th) chapter and was totally engrossed in my own thoughts about water. I went for a run and the whole time I was imagining the lightning fast impulses of information sent to my body to continue to function, not as I had been taught in the chain-reaction sort of way, but in super-sonic fast waves and pulses sent out and through the water in my body. It made me think about heat-stroke and dehydration. These seem (according to the reading) to be issues of loss of communication. When we run out of the amount of water needed to transmit communications to our bodies, they shut down.
Other thoughts I had while I was reading these chapters were those surrounding the idea of the connections between our consciousness and that of those around us. How are we able to affect our surroundings and vice versa. While I have never personally experienced a moment of clairvoyance or anything like it per se, I can see that we are able to tap into this connection in certain involuntary ways. For instance, every single one of us has experienced this at one point in their lives or another. If you are in a group of people and one person is a total downer, it affects you. You feel their bad mood resonating outward to everyone else. An incredibly happy and boisterous individual can have the same outward reaching affect on your mood. In a moment, someone who really knows how to liven up the mood can single-handedly change the entire mood of the room.
This brings up another question to me. How are some people able to emit their moods more strongly than others and not submit to the majority of those around them and vice versa? What makes you dominant or submissive in receiving or sending out your own signals? Is this a personal thing or something that we can focus on and train ourselves to do better? Are some people more naturally in-tune with the ZPF?
This book continuously makes me think of what I have learned about eastern religions and the account of people who have experienced enlightenment or have had the opportunity to experience these kinds of connections with the whole of the universe. Do we all have the potential to break through our own sheltered understanding of the universe and how it works, or how we really fit into it? Or do you have to be born with a certain ability to break through? If it is just something that our bodies have prevented us from doing until we are safely able to handle and control this immense understanding and load of information, then how do we go about breaking through it? I found myself pondering this all weekend. I was almost trying, with no avail, to will myself to understand these ideas and this connection better. I wanted to just be able to break through it. No luck… I think something so great as this, as enlightenment is (I find this to be an incredibly appropriate analogy for breaking into the ZPF) really requires work and dedication. It has inspired me to sit and meditate again. A process that one my not forget how to do but one must start as a beginner again if they have been away from it for so long.
