This article is the second of two about released energy, the first having been published in the fall 2009 issue of Nexus. In the first article, we discussed whether energy released during a Healing Touch treatment still exists somewhere in our energy field. We learned that if the blockage is only released on some of the energetic levels, perhaps the pattern of this blockage in the remaining levels can surface later on, as a memory for instance. When congested energy is released, it is possible that the lower frequencies of this blockage are transformed into a higher frequency (i.e. love and light). If the energetic release occurred at the source, the blockage is removed from the entire vibrational matrix and it’s as if it never existed.
Linda McCuaig, a student of Healing Touch, shared some valuable thoughts with me about this first article. “The memory of the burn might remain in (Shelley’s) energy field, but buried under the surface of her consciousness if she felt the need to hold that memory because:
She has a strong past life association with the act of being burned; and/or, When she thinks of the burn, she directs her thoughts more to the (painful) feeling rather than to the wonderful feeling of the healing.
Linda mentions a very important factor that contributes to our ability to completely release a blockage: our thoughts. “Thought is creative, and each moment in our lives we are busy creating our own realities (…) in the present and in our unfolding future, though for many of us this is an unconscious process.” Perhaps if our thoughts are focused strictly on the healings rather than on the related events, our blockages will be removed from our entire vibrational matrix?
Following are the next two questions about released energy:
After a blockage has been released from our energy field, did the experience (that caused the blockage) ever exist? Does the fact that the blockage has been released create change in the past, the present and/or the future?
“It is in you, my mind, that I measure time… As things pass by, they leave an impression on you… It is this impression which I measure. Therefore this itself is time or else I do not measure time at all.” St. Augustine (note 4)
In The Holographic Universe, Michael Talbot presents physicist David Bohm’s assertions about the implicate and the explicate orders. Our everyday, tangible reality is labelled by Bohm as the explicate order. In the explicate order, time is measured by our human brain which has evolved as a temporal tool crucial to our survival.
The underlying, deeper order of existence, “a vast and more primary level of reality that gives birth to all the objects and appearances of our physical world” (note 5) is labelled by Bohm as the implicate order. The intangible, implicate order is atemporal, a state to which none of our ordinary notions of time apply, (note 6) unchanging, and unaffected by time.
Bohm compares the implicate to a river and the explicate to the eddies and whirlpools created by the river. The eddies and whirlpools have their own independent existence, but it’s impossible to determine where they end and begin in the river. The explicate and the implicate are constantly interacting to form new realities (by way of our thoughts, experiences and feelings), and when a reality leaves the temporal explicate, it merely returns to the atemporal implicate (the eddies and whirlpools eventually become part of the river again).
According to Bohm, the implicate represents the basic matter or wholeness of the universe and “every portion of the universe enfolds the whole. (…) in principle the whole past and implications for the whole future are also enfolded in each small region of space and time. Every cell of our body enfolds the entire cosmos.” (note 7)
If Bohm is right, when a blockage in our energy field is released, the blockage and the event that caused it might leave the explicate to return to the implicate, where they will exist in each small region of space and time. All our experiences, thoughts and emotions will always exist everywhere simultaneously in atemporal space.
Like the frames of a movie that can be viewed separately or flowing together to present the illusion of movement, in a holographic universe “it is the viewer’s changing perspective that provides the illusion that (the entire activity) is unfolding in time.” (note 8 )
An example of the illusion of an event unfolding is astrophotography. In tangible reality, a star may have disappeared millions of years ago, but the record of its existence is still carried by light (a higher frequency) across the universe where it was interpreted by a viewer’s changing perspective. The proper time of particles that travel at the speed of light is zero or atemporal.
To summarize, from an atemporal perspective, the blockage released from our field has always existed simultaneously in the present, the past and the future. From a human, temporal perspective, even if the blockage was released throughout our vibrational matrix and doesn’t exist anymore for us, that blockage still existed in our past and influenced our life (consciously or unconsciously) up until the moment of its release. Whether or not we remember it now, the experience has still influenced who we are and was very much a real event at some point in our life.
