Many thanks to Galahad for his link to the Field. It makes me wonder how many of those thousands of hits are repeat readers who took the time to return however often to finish it. It certainly says a lot more than I ever could on the subject of photons as a primary source of information, and also makes me wonder why there was so little response to Enlightened's original post, and all of the initial response so negative. Apparently a whole lot of people were moved to 'do the work' required to digest that voluminous post from Laura, and it seems that my innocent (and probably naive) attempt to come to another member's aid was misguided.
But I've been asked to shed some light on Rife and his ilk, as outdated (though still useful) that technology may be, and I'll offer an overview for those who may be interested, and then go on to my own take on the photon issue.
Royal Raymond Rife was primarily a biologist with an electronics background, and likely also well informed in the latest technological developments of the early twentieth century. In the early twenties he pioneered a light microscope that overcame the parallax problem (distortion arising from the crossing of the light path through microscope prisms) by passing the light through a magnetic field, and this allowed him to obtain never before realized magnification and resolution. He didn't stop there however, and eventually incorporated a pulsed square wave frequency generator that allowed him to find what he called the mortal oscillatory rate (MOR) for organisms he was viewing in the specimen field and zap them.
He listed many of these MORs, and identified what he called the BX virus, which he proposed as being responsible for many cancers. He then went on to develop a hand-held x-ray tube to transmit the MOR into the cancerous tumors of patients, and enjoyed tremendous success. When he approached certain patrons with the idea of developing and producing a generally available device for use in the medical field, he was beset by STS get-rich-quick types, and ultimately ruined by the newly empowered allopathic regime that was taking over American medicine. He eventually suffered legal proceedings, turned to alcohol, and died beaten and broken. Among others to suffer this same fate, in one form or another, were Ruth Drown, a pioneer in radionics, and Wilhelm Reich, a former student and colleague of Freud, and a pioneer in many technological devices related to Orgone.
The Rife/Bare device which I mentioned in a previous post was a modern adaptation of current technology that was used by so many experimenters that a Consolidated Frequency List was complied and published (available for download free) detailing the MOR frequencies for many known diseases. As I've already intimated, I've built and used this device successfully myself, and for others. Information is readily available on the internet, and interested parties are encouraged to seek it out. There are now ready made devices that require no more than quick and easy set-up, plugging it in, and getting familiar with its use and the frequencies. They are usually marketed and sold with the proviso that they are for experimental use only, preferably on animals.
And while academia poo poos the whole concept, be aware that the ultra violet lights you see in various places throughout hospitals and medical institutions are predicated exactly on the idea that those frequencies of UV are killing certain bacteria that could be epidemically infective in such institutions.
With respect to the photon challenge (LOL), and in view of what I now know to be available on the forum as a result of Laura's own untiring efforts, I can only offer my own personal take as an individual interested in spiritual evolvement, as opposed to the merely scientific aspects.
I'll ask the reader's indulgence as I attempt to navigate what may seem a rather circuitous path, but one which I hope will eventually lead to a satisfactory explanation for all who may be so interested. I should begin by saying that I am always reluctant to 'join', but as a willing participant in life, I am certainly not a loner (neither a joiner nor loner be? LOL). Nor am I one to tout my experience when I understand that the nature of experience is so subjective as to appear exclusive, and it was with all of that in mind that I tightened up my jock strap (if you'll forgive the analogy) and jumped in as a forum member here.
Since this thread seems to have taken on a life of its own, I'll willingly open myself to the scrutiny of the forum and venture into the world of appearances by sharing some personal experience. In that vein I would have to say that Light has played a more significant part in my evolvement than any other aspect of reality. Reading the piece to which link I posted re: Popp, I was immediately moved by the reflection of my own relationship to a higher understanding that came from a willingness to deprogram over forty years ago, the initial stages of which lasted for over two years, and an endeavor in which I still find myself deeply engaged.
With regard to my attitude towards 'the work', I'll invoke the analogy of eating an apple (is that symbolic, or what?). Now, if I find myself enjoying an apple, and I want to share the experience, I'll offer to give you an apple. Perhaps you'd be reluctant if you've never had an apple, and you'll ask me to describe what I taste. I may go on forever and ever describing it, but we all know that you'll never understand the taste of an apple until you bite into one. And this could apply again to every variety of apple there is. If you are unwilling to bite, there is nothing I can do to convey that exquisite experience in the face of your reluctance other than to question your reluctance itself.
Reading the article on Popp - and I can only wonder if Laura felt the same way when she posted the Field, the feeling I had was an expansiveness of the experience of universal consciousness wrapped up in the role of the photon informing not only the apple tree, but the ground in which it grew, and the body in which it provided nourishment down to the most minute biological level. This is what you might describe as the totality of consciousness expressing itself in the life cycle of the apple as we participate in its larger purpose by intermingling it with our own.
Now this may seem rather esoteric, and I will not apologize. But those to whom this analogy makes sense will surely grasp its importance: nothing exists in the universe but an infinitesimally minute, invisible particle of consciousness which knows not only 'I AM', but more importantly 'I AM THAT', and the unfathomable mystery in that for me is that the 'isness' of its expression is as infinitely expansive as its minuteness is invisible. This is the ideation of All Is One, and in our own awareness in third density, we are informed primarily by the photon, right down to our deribonucleic acid. This leads me to the idea I heard somewhere that there is only one electron in the entire universe, which I'll extrapolate into the idea that there is possibly only one photon in the entire universe, and it is keenly aware of its presence in all of creation as it informs every infinite process of being. Perhaps this is THE Zero Point; consciousness; God; Us. Crazy? Yes, I do feel that way frequently, and it suits me just fine, thank you.
As a factor in my personal experience, which I am really reluctant to discuss in this format to any great degree, I have sought the informative nature of the Light in the most absolute darkness and solitude physically possible, absent resort to an isolation tank. Briefly, many years ago, 1987 actually, during a period of fasting and complete abstinence, gazing into the wee-hours darkness, I was knocked almost senseless by an explosion of Light in the center of my brain simultaneous to one at the external point of my gazing focus (which for those who have done extensive gazing, is really 'out of focus').
I had been at this darkness-gazing for some time after reaching a level of emotional sobriety, a la don Juan, without any guidance, and in the belief that even in the darkness there was a light of creation. I had fallen asleep one night while meditating and awakened in what I realized was the astral, and had a 360 degree view of my surroundings, which even in total darkness were brilliantly lit. But I was after much more, and I dare say the result scared the pants off me to the degree that I broke into a cold sweat. After I repeated the experience a second night, I gave it up in fear that I was beyond my own abilities. There is no doubt, however, that I was changed in ways that defy explanation.
Certainly I don't recommend this to anyone, but this period was equally intense in every aspect, and culminated in an event to which I alluded in my Newbie post that I believe was directly related to DNA evolution, and strictly as a result of Light: Photons? Waves? No matter.
So, while I may have seemed to belabor the point here, I will say that I meditated over this explanation this morning to the degree that I developed a knot at the third eye, which I consider to have been light information pouring into my being, a sign that I should just let go and say what I thought should be said.
As for the work, I am more than willing to share whatever little I may have to offer, but reading the Field, and being moved to even greater depths at the implications thereof, seeing that so many others had ventured the effort to take themselves to that level, never mind Laura's own efforts in both reading and posting it, there is no longer any question that I am not alone in my willingness to do the work. Witnessing the staggering amount of information available on these boards, I can appreciate the need some may have for a distilled essence of some subject, but in this case, I can only suggest that you avail yourselves of the thread linked by Galahad, and if you only read the posted replies, you will get way more than I could provide beyond my own experience.
I'd really be quite surprised if the Cs have not already said something regarding the nature of the photon and its effect on our DNA, given the attention its already received in the Field thread. But I remind myself frequently now: all there is is lessons, and they are the lessons that will eventually lead us to realize the Light Beings we truly are beneath the layers of these material illusions.
And I Thank You for This One.
