Last week, I read about a nine year old girl who published in a major medical journal, with the help of her mom. They were out to debunk the myth of therapeutic touch—the nursing movement which says that humans have an energy field which is affected by other human energy fields and that general health is bettered when the energy field is healthy.

Clearly, science in its previous incarnation can't deal with a fluid reality (see Reality is Fluid and Sense the Vibe). Science was invented to put an end to unfounded conjecture. And in our daily lives there remains room for lots of unfounded conjecture. We still need science to decipher reality.

Yet the tools of since are inadequate to the task of understanding reality as our minds come more and more closely intertwined with the creation of reality | sustenance of reality | development of reality | defining reality | reality of reality. Perhaps science is simply missing a few premises: the mental/physical/psychic state of the participants materially affects the experiment when the experiment deals with mental/physical or psychic phenomena.


Reality is fluid. We create it as we go. What do we want? We must answer first, then act. (impossible in practice, life is constantly creating itself, long before we were born and as we are deciding what we want.)

What you look for determines and confines and refines what you will find. Look for methods of making large atoms release lots of energy in sudden bursts for the purposes of destruction and reap the rewards of mass destruction. A nuclear bomb need never have exploded to wreak the havoc the technology has brought us. The thought of nuclear bombs and pursuing the action has brought nuclear accidents, nuclear waste, billions in construction and unstable politics both before and after the end of the Cold War.

The fault doesn't lie with those damn Nazi's or the Japanese that unannounced bombed Pearl Harbor and were unfairly overrunning the nice Americans. It's not the guys on the Manhattan project, or Einstein's buddies before the war. It lies with all of us. Humanity as a whole is on the same planet, on the same course. We think and act as one being because the end result of all the actions of all the individuals is One—One Planet.


I digress. Rules for the New Science of Subjectivity
Clean your heart. Know that what you believe creates the outcome of your experiments. Seek science in questions whose answers will bring more peace (or more of what you want) into the world. Know that you will find the truth you seek. Name your truth carefully.
