Abstract: The organization of any biological system is established by a complex electrodynamic field which is, in part, determined by its atomic physiochemical components and which, in part, determines the behavior and orientation of these components. The holographic model of reality emerging from this principle may provide a scientific explanation of psychoenergetic phenomena. The pattern or organization of any biological system is established by a complex electrodynamic field, which is in part determined by its atomic physiochemical components and which in part determines the behavior and orientation of those components. This field is electrical in the physical sense, and by its properties it relates the entities of the biological system in a characteristic pattern and is itself in part a result of the existence of those entities. It determines and is determined by the components. More than establishing pattern it must maintain pattern in the midst of physiochemical flux; therefore it must regulate and control living things. It must be the mechanism, the outcome of whose activity is wholeness, organization and continuity. The electrodynamic field then, is comparable to the entelecy of Driesh, the embryonic field of Spehmann, and the biological field of Weiss. -- Burr and Northrop, 1935
Since the dawn of time there have been two conflicting explanations for the nature and structure of the world in which we live. Those can be most simply stated as the field and the particle. These two conflicting ideas appear in Greek thought, Democritus stressing the field and Heraclitus the particle. Today, fields are stressed in relativity physics, while particles are emphasized in quantum mechanics. Throughout history, many attempts have been made to synthesize the field and the particle theory. In current physics, those attempts fall under the name of geometrodynamics (Wheeler, 1959). It is our intent in this paper to show how a cross synthesis of particle theory and field theory will shed new light on living processes. Field theory can be interwoven with particle theory in an attempt to better understand biological processes. This effect will enable us to approach an understanding of life because we can conceptualize all structures and functions, all levels from the electronic to the super molecular, as one single unit (Szent-Gyorgyi, 1960: 135).
MECHANISMS A. Quantum Mechanisms Particles found in biological processes include photons, electrons, protons, elementary ions, inorganic radicals, organic radicals, molecules, and molecular aggregates. Photons act upon electrons by raising their energy state. This process is called excitation. Excited electrons can drop back to more stable energy levels and emit photons. Electron excitation can lead to the formation of an electronic bond between molecules. This is the traditional bond of classical chemistry. The breaking of such bonds can, by reverse process, lead to the excitation of electrons. In living systems the excitation of electrons by photons and the subsequent conversion of that excitation into the bond energy is called photosynthesis and is the basic builder of biological structures. The reversal of this process is called bioluminescence. This phenomenon is the transfer of energy from a bond to an excited electron, resulting in the emission of a photon.
It has been suggested by Szent-Gyorgyi (1957: 8) that the energetics of living creatures can be understood in terms of photosynthesis and its reversal, bioluminescence. All cellular processes are driven by energy derived from the breaking of chemical bonds and the excitation of electrons. Depending upon the particular environment and circumstances, the excitation of the electron can be converted in one of three ways: (1) conversion into heat and dissipation (2) translation of molecules or ions through the cell, or (3) transformation of the molecules' shapes which profoundly influences their biological reactivity. The formation of a certain type of chemical bond known as the resonance bond (which is most easily seen in the case of the Benzene molecule) leads to a peculiar situation in which certain electrons are freed from a local or particular location in the molecule. These are then free to travel around the entire molecule.
This means that the electrons occupy an energy shell of the whole molecule as opposed to any particular atom in the molecule. The existence of molecular systems with mobile electrons has been found to be of profound significance in the phenomena of life. Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, which compose 99 percent of all living systems, are among the atoms in the periodic table which form the multiple bonds most easily leading to mobile electrons. Sulphur and phosphorus, which are extremely important for life processes, also form such multiple bonds quite easily. All the essential biochemical substances, which perform the fundamental functions of living matter, are composed completely or partially of such mobile electrons. Molecules which contain these electrons are known as conjugated systems (Pullman and Pullman, 1963, chapter 18).
The essential fluidity of life may correspond with the fluidity of the electronic cloud in conjugated molecules. Such systems may best be considered as both the cradle and the main backbone of life. Conjugate bonded molecules may interact in a variety of ways. Among these types of interaction can be found the interpenetration of electron orbitals which permits an electromagnetic coupling. This coupling can permit activated electron energy to pass from one molecule to another in the same way a radio can transmit a message to a radio receiver.
There is also the possibility of the transfer of an entire electron which is known as charge transfer. It is possible for a molecular complex to contain several radicals at different positions on the main molecule, each of which are conjugated. If these are in close enough proximity, or can be brought into proximity by changes in the structural configuration of the molecule, a charge can pass between these two groups. This is the case of the transfer of electron charges on or around a single molecular complex.
It has been suggested by Szent-Gyorgyi (1968) that the sugars and phosphates that make up the side of the alpha helix of DNA can permit the passage of electrons, functioning as a conductor. The biological conduction systems operate primarily on an amorphous semiconductor mode as opposed to resembling metallic conductors (such as the new devices being developed for computer memories). These do not have sharply defined energy bands in which electrons may flow, as opposed to other bands in which they are bound rigidly. There is a spread or bell-curve in which the points or tails are bound more closely to a particular molecule. The hump indicates a conducting band that permits electrons to flow across the surface of a particular molecule or between molecules (McGinness, 1972).
This means, in essence, that protein molecules which are composed of amino acid sequences, may act as organic circuits. The amino acids each have a donor group and an acceptor group on opposing ends. This means that a string or series of amino acids could pass a charge along as if it were being passed along a series of spines sticking up from the main body of the molecule. Different pathways could be defined across the surface of a protein molecule by the amino acid radicals projecting out from the surface of the protein. The shape of the protein molecules is a function of the charges and the conjugate systems on the radicals that make up the protein. When a protein is manufactured and peels off the ribosome, it immediately assumes a three-dimensional spatial pattern that is directly related to the charges on its surface and the ways in which they interact.
The biological activity or specificity of action of various molecules is intimately related to their structure or their exact three-dimensional spatial configuration. Electronic energy and electrons can move through a protein molecule between its different parts and can pass among different molecules. We now come to understand a possible mechanism for biological regulation involving flows of electrons and transfer of electronic energy between molecules. These can change their shape and thereby change their specific action and activity. The fusion of electron clouds can exist within a conjugated system and among conjugated systems. This can account for cohesion or the adherence of such molecules to each other. Such fusion is a very important determinate of the structure of larger aggregates of molecules and portions of living cells, such as membranes.
B. Fields A liquid crystal in a cell through its own structure becomes a proto-organ for mechanical and electrical activity, and when associated in specialized cells in higher animals gives rise to true organs such as muscles and nerves. The oriented molecules in liquid crystals furnish an ideal medium for catalytic action, particularly of the complex type needed to account for growth and reproduction. A liquid crystal has the possibility of its own structure through singular lines, rods and cones, etc.
Such structures belong to the liquid crystal as a unit and not to its molecules which may be replaced by others without destroying them, and they persist in spite of the complete fluidity of the substance (Needham, 1936). Bernal's statement (1933) would seen to support Burr and Northrop's macro-atomic theory (1935), which postulates that there are two aspects to reality, the field and the particle. They associate the field with what they term the macroscopic aspect and the electron with the particle. They associate the field with what they term the macroscopic aspect and the electron with the particle. The particle is associated with movement. The structure of biological material seems to be associated with the field aspect.
The electric field causes polarization of the macromolecules in the solution due to the fact that molecules possess a dipole moment, and changes the position of protons in the molecule. Such action can affect the relative stability of different possible configurations of the macromolecules. The field affects the degree of structure present in the solution. A constant magnetic field can, in principle, affect the various processes in biological objects.
Three possible mechanisms for this biomagnetic affect are (1) the orientation of diamagnetic or paramagnetic molecules by the magnetic field (2) distortions of the angles in the molecules and (3) orientation of the spins of molecules in a magnetic field (Fowler and Bernal, 1933; Freedericksz and Zolina, 1933; Van Iterson, 1933; Osborne, Ambrose and Stuart, 1970). Presman (1970) has postulated that such electromagnetic fields normally serve as conveyors of information, from the environment to the organism, within the organism, and among organisms. He suggests that organisms employ these fields in conjunction with the well known sensory, nervous, and endocrine systems, in effecting coordination and integration.
INFLUENCES
Becker (1972) has stated that it is already established that electromagnetic forces can be used to change three fundamental life processes in mammals. These processes are (1) the stimulation of bonegrowth (2) the stimulation of partial multi-tissue regenerative growth and (3) the influence on the basic level of nerve activity and function. All these affects appear to be mediated through perturbations in naturally pre-existing bioelectronic systems. The organism's bioelectronic system also seems to be related to levels of consciousness and to biological cycles (Ravitz, 1970). Experimental evidence indicates that part of the environment of living organisms consists of a complex four-dimensional, space-time, field pattern, that the organism responds to and requires for a healthy existence (Brown, 1971).
Research carried out with organisms in fields lower than the normal magnetic field strength of the earth inevitably results in deterioration and death of the organisms involved (Purrett, 1971). Recent research indicates that an organism utilizes its sensitivity to cope with the complex electromagnetic and gravitational fields in its environment. This process serves to calibrate its internal biological rhythms with external factors such as (1) the rotation of the earth (2) variations in the earth's magnetic field (3) the transit of the moon around the earth and (4) the influences of the sun (e.g., short term field variations, yearly seasonal changes, sun spot cycles occurring every 11 years). Changes in these various external systems influence the organism profoundly (Burr, 1972; Garrison, 1971). Correlations have been drawn between collapse and reversal of the earth's magnetic field and extinction of various species (Purrett, 1971).
The complex field pattern also carries other information to living creatures. Fluctuations of the field patterns reflect the presence, location and other characteristics of different physical and biological phenomena in the environment (e.g., other creatures, physical objects). Alterations in electomagnetic parameters in the environment can be related to such physical phenomena as conductivity, permeability, and space and surface charges. Organisms themselves contribute to the environment by virtue of the end products of their various physiological processes.
These may alter the environmental electrical and magnetic properties. Weather systems also have electrical and magnetic correlates (Brown, 1971). One can see a very positive contact or connection between electromagnetic phenomena associated with weather and the behavior and health of organisms. A more advanced theory would connect weather changes and changes in the physical environment to behavior and biological products attributable to organisms. More precisely stated not only does weather in a variety of ways profoundly influence living creatures, but also it is possible that living creatures can influence weather.
CO-RELATIONS
Moving from a consideration of various mechanisms and influences of electromagnetic field phenomena upon living creatures, a more intimate role for electromagnetic fields in life phenomena will be examined. The first phenomenon that shall be considered is the relationship between electrodynamics and development. It is a current hypothesis that the electrical fields associated with a cell are intimately related to processes that have to do with structure and motion in the cell. The first such influence or effect would be that of providing a directive force in the laying down of substances in the growth of the creature. In dealing with extra-cellular electric fields, such fields most probably correlate the growth activities among cells, and thus determine the origin and orientation of symmetrical axes for the cell groups and the entire organism (Lund, 1945, chapter 6). The next area for consideration has to do with regeneration of damaged tissue. Recent research has shown that electrical current in living tissue can serve to precipitate regeneration and growth of new tissue (Becker, 1972).
This mechanism apparently operates by causing the cells at the site of the injury that are still alive, to dedifferentiate back into cells resembling embryonic cells and thereby to divide and grow. This new growth is guided to repair the damage and ceases when the damage has been repaired and the creature is again intact. From the very beginning, the electromagnetic field provides a sustaining and directing matrix for the cells and the biological substances in the creature. There is evidence that all creatures possessing a central nervous system have a direct current system that displays a field pattern expressing the anatomical arrangement of the central nervous system itself. It has been suggested that this DC system serves as a primitive data transmitting and control system which regulated the ability of the central nervous system to process data by a more sophisticated and neural transmission (Becker, 1963).
Consciousness may be seen as a frame of electrical charges in motion such as electrons bombarding a television screen; personality is a time series of these scintillating frames of consciousness. Personality becomes a reverberating input-output pattern of self creation seeking information or patterns of energy from the environment as well as from its own memories. The personality never recreates itself but creates only a close approximation which is accepted due to the principle of constancy as being the same. The phenomena of unique individuality and personal continuity depend on memory. Consciousness involves the most recent memory and thereby the most subject to erasure and loosening. Personality transformation becomes energy pattern modification of not only scintillating consciousness but also of recent circulating memories and older stored memories.
Thus consciousness can be conceptualized as an electronic phenomena occurring in the brain that involves both dynamic charges in motion and also stored structure (Tien, 1969). Referring to the mechanisms mentioned earlier, a very close connection between electronic activity and structure can be seen. A good deal of work on human psychological processes indicate that human beings are extremely sensitive to the various electromagnetic events in their environment. Daily variations are related to the rotation of the earth. Correlation has been found between deviant human behavior and alterations in consciousness to cycles of the moon. Work has been done on the correlation of deviant behavior in schizophrenia and sun spot activity (Becker, 1963). All these various factors indicate that human consciousness is modulated by electromagnetic events in the environment.
CONCLUSIONS
Mechanisms of molecular influence, influences of field phenomena on whole organisms, and various factors relating to human consciousness shed interesting light on ancient metaphysical systems having to do with psychophysiological regeneration. We suggest that the conscious experience of various profound electromagnetic events in our terrestrial environment can have a salutary affect on the health of the organism. When human beings consciously experiences a sunrise or sunset, a new moon or full moon, the equinoxes and solstices, as well as the points of maximal and minimal sun spot activity, a calibrating effect results which involves their various biological rhythmic systems. It has been shown that stress can uncouple synchronized and harmonious biological rhythms resulting in pathological conditions for the organisms (Burr and Northrop, 1935).
We are proposing that these biological systems can be resynchronized and recalibrated through conscious effort. The proposed mechanism for this influence has to do with the indicated coupling of these various external events to biological processes. The amplifying effect of consciousness has also been seen to be relatable to the various electromagnetic occurrences in the brain. At a deeper level of analysis, it can be suggested that the field phenomena which we have been studying and working with are in fact more real, if that term can be used, than the particulate matter and various objects of which we have been speaking (Wheeler, 1959).
Briefly stated, the fields and particles may be themselves composed of empty curved space, trapping lines of electromagnetic force. This is the holographic concept of reality. The structural configurations themselves or the geometry of the fields and the particles are more fundamental than either the fields or the particles themselves. We suggest that an epistemology based upon the concept of a human being as a material object composed of particulate substances in various configurations and patterns would be erroneous.
Human beings are better seen as on-going, dynamic, shifting, changing, field entities (or field patterns) that serve as a matrix for the flow-through of biological substances and various simple chemicals. This proposal has profound significance for human behavior, extending from the actions of the individual and personal ethics all the way to the actions of sociological aggregate systems such as nations and multi-national groups. We feel that many of the problems of society that are current today can be traced to our ignorance of, or refusal to embrace, this larger holographic electrodynamic reality in which we live. Furthermore, this knowledge is not new. It is the main core of the message of the social reformers throughout history. It is also discussed, in other terms, by many individuals who characteristically experience psychoenergetic phenomena (e.g., psychokinesis, clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition).
SUMMARY
As postulated by Northrop and Burr (1935), the pattern or organization of any biological system is established by a complex electrodynamic field which is in part determined by its atomic physiochemical components and which in part determines the behavior and orientation of those components.
Presman (1970) has postulated that such electromagnetic fields normally serve as conveyors of information from the environment to the organism, within the organism, and among organisms. He has postulated that in the course of evolution, organisms have come to use these fields in conjunction with the well-known sensory, nervous, and endocrine systems in effecting coordination and integration. Szent-Gyorgyi (1957, 1960) has theorized that cells and other biological components might have various electronic solid-state physical properties such as semi-conductors. He suggests that the use of quantum electrodynamics is necessary in order to understand biological processes which regulate the vital activity of organisms.
Becker (1963) has maintained that it is already established that electromagnetic forces can be used to change three fundamental life processes in mammals. Those processes are the stimulation of bone growth, the stimulation of partial multi-tissue regenerative growth, and the influence on the basic level of nerve activity and function. All of these effects appear to be mediated through perturbations in naturally pre-existing electronic control systems.
The neural electronic system also seems to be related to levels of consciousness and biological cycles, and we have developed the thesis that this system furnishes the linkage mechanism between electromagnetic forces in the environment and biological cyclic behavior. McGinness (1972) reported that melanins are excellent electron acceptors and have semi-conductor properties which appear to be important in midbrain structures. Melanins are known to act as an ultraviolet sun screen, but research indicates that they also have a fundamental biological role.
McGinness (1972) has proposed that melanins may de-excite certain biological molecules by converting electronic energy to heat. An analysis of data on melanins suggests that the electronic properties of melanins can best be explained in terms of a band model for semi-conduction in amorphous materials, which may also explain the behavior of proteins, and other biological macromolecules such as RNA and DNA. In amorphous materials, there is an essentially Gaussian density of electron energy states.
Muses (1970) has proposed the possibility of unit impulse functions evolving from the Gaussian. His work traces the relation of that mathematical concept to quantum biological indeterminacy in terms of a process of the modulation of random fluctuations by target-seeking perturbations which points the way to the understanding and computing of the parameters of volitional experience in quantum biological terms. He maintains that we are dealing with Gaussian wave packets, put to use in terms of a close-range reaction in turn resulting in the resonant microbiological specificity (arising from the relatively large number of specific molecular parameters) necessary to the essential life and evolutional processes of chromosome synapses, replication, and mutagenesis.
Muses holds that inherently indeterminate processes may be biologically used in achieving determinate ones such as our repeatable and commonly accepted volitional experiences of effort and direction. The range of quantum indeterminate fluctuation of biological efficacy is in the far ultraviolet, and it is in this spectral region that we should expect to look for any modulation effects on Gaussian wave packets by volitional energies manifesting as ultramicrobiological field perturbations. Biologically, there is a threshold of non-randomicity below which peaks tend to emerge that are sharp enough to possess biodirectiveness in an enzyme-guiding sense. Random biological quantum energies which are physiologically unassigned are the clue to psychosomatic directing, which can be beneficial or deleterious to the organism.
Muses (1970) describes the mechanism of this effect as a microbiolaser type process. Heisenberg explored the possible relevance of the quantum indeterminacy of elementary particles for biological systems, especially human systems (discussed in Koestler, 1972).
He stated that there are two places in the human system where the quantum indeterminacy of a single particle can have a profound influence. The first important effect is that of mutation in the genetic code. The second important influence is the alteration of the behavior of neurons during human thought processes. Tien (1969) has conceptualized mind as mass in relative motion and brain as energy at relative electrical charges in motion, like electrons bombarding a television screen, and personality is seen as a time series of scintillating frames of consciousness.
Personality becomes a reverbating input-output pattern of self-creation, seeking information or patterns of energy from the environment as well as from its own memories. The stability of any given personality of its identity, which is maintained by feedback upon the principle of most similarity. The personality never recreates itself, but creates only a close approximation which is accepted due to the principle of constancy as being the same. The phenomena of unique individuality and personal continuity depend on memory, of which consciousness is the most recent and, thereby, the most subject to erasure and loosening.
Personality transformation becomes energy pattern modification of not only scintillating consciousness but also of recent circulating memories and older stored memories of childhood. According to the holographic model of reality, all the objects we can observe are three-dimensional images formed of standing and moving waves by electromagnetic and nuclear processes.
All the objects of our world are three-dimensional images formed electro-magnetically, i.e., holograms. This concept and the models of human information processing based on the hologram, throw interesting light on the philosophical tradition which holds that the world of objects is an illusion. With the triumph of relativity and quantum physics, the interpenetration of the philosophical and the scientific is possible. LeShan (1969) has observed, in discussing some individuals who purportedly experience psycho-energetic phenomena, that their view of the universe as a great thought of which they are a part is quite similar to many physicists' view that they see reality only in their own mental image.
We propose that the "reality hologram" which appears as a stable world of material objects is the elementary particle which has a long-term existence and fairly simple rules of interaction. We also propose the existence of a "biohologram" which appears as mobile and evolving, through the DNA molecule. This "biohologram" projects a dynamic three-dimensional image that serves as a guiding matrix for the manipulation and organization of the "reality hologram." Thus we have mobile self-organizing holograms moving through a relatively static simpler hologram. The possibility exists that such "bioholograms" could achieve sufficient coherence to continue existence as a pattern of radiant energy apart from a material substate. We feel that such an occurrence could form the scientific basis of such psychoenergetic phenomena as psycho-kinesis, clairvoyance, telepathy, and precognition.

INTRODUCTION
Holography is the process of recording and recreating complex three-dimensional wave fronts in space. The holography with which we are most familiar deals mostly with the visible spectrum, so we tend to think of holography in terms of three-dimensional photography. However, holography can be conceived in different realms of the spectrum. The whole process of lasers and laser abilities to create images in space in visible light radiation is closely connected to microwave research and a device called a "maser" which broadcasts coherent radiation of microwave frequencies. It should be possible in theory, with the proper kind of equipment, to capture and broadcast complex three-dimensional wave form structures in space across a whole broad band of the electromagnetic spectrum. We can call this "broad band holography". Henceforth in this paper, when we are dealing with the term "holography" we suggest that it means a whole range of processes for capturing wave forms at different frequencies on the spectrum.
Some of the interesting properties of holography have to do with its differences from photography. In photography, the light from an object is reflected onto a flat surface where it essentially discolors that surface; or rather, the shadow that it casts discolors that surface. If you cut a photograph in half, you have half of the original picture that you started with. Holography is quite different. In a hologram, the pattern of light that is created by the object is recorded at each point of the film. Each grain contains the whole image. Each image is slightly different, however, and all of the images are very vague and very fuzzy. Detail in a photograph is not particularly connected to the size in the sense that a small piece of a photograph will have a lot of detail on a small area of the scene. A large photograph will have a lot of detail on all of the scene. In a hologram, each grain has some of the information about the whole scene. It has some detail about the whole scene. A large hologram has a lot of details about the whole scene.
So something different happens when you cut a hologram in half: you get the original picture, but it is less clear because you have lost detail. A lot of work has been done recently (for over 30 years) on the electromagnetic field phenomena that are associated with the biological processes. The idea is nothing new, of course. Farraday did some experimentation with animal electricity, and Galvanni (with his Galvannic cells) did experiments with animals. It was quite understandable in the growth of science to accept life as being electronic. However, within the last 50 years, our intense activity in the biological field and the breakthroughs in molecular biology (DNA research, etc.) have tended to obscure some deeper questions as to our understanding the nature of life. We are reaching the end of the paradigm in which we can afford to ignore the electromagnetic properties of the macro-system and deal with chemistry as if it were taking place in a neutral system.
This new field can be termed "bio-electronic": a term based on biophysics. Conventional biophysics seems to be centered around very minute detail of things, such as ion exchanges across cell membranes, etc. And very, very little contact is made with the idea that the electromagnetic systems may regulate the whole organism, the whole multi-cellular organism, and not merely function at the level of cells. The regulation of the nervous system is appreciated to be primarily a biochemical phenomena in the sense that it is the exchange or profusion of calcium and potassium across a cell membrane. And so, what you essentially have, is a ripple effect that travels down the process of the cell, caused by an exchange of ions. Thus it is a chemical signal. And the synapse transmits, again, chemical, so that you have another chemical signal, and even though electromagnetics is appreciated in the nervous system, it is seen as an epi-phenomena.
In other words, not really appreciated as being integral or central to the regulation of the system. However, the theories of regulation of the system are very poor. And they do no justice to the complexity and subtlety of a living process. Some of the specific electronic characteristics in the cell could pertain to the presence or absence of various chemicals that either accept or donate electrons. Electron donation or electron acceptance are connected to the older ideas of acids and bases, of chemical processes called oxidation and reduction.
One must then approach a biological solution, or interior body fluids, on the basis of the electrolytes in solution: the different ionized and charged particles. Both kinds exist. And this is only the beginning. We must deal with the fields that exist, the potentials and the polarities. And between the two of them the charged particles in the fields would then begin to generate the flows. Then we must deal with a process called electrophoresis, which is the movement of small particles by an electrostatic field. And we could also see the possibility of electrodynamic fields moving the particles in waves.
What we have, essentially, is a solution of charged particles under a very complex control via a complicated electromagnetic field system that moves those solutions around. But in moving the solutions, the charged distributions inside the organism change and modify the fields. There is a very complex feedback between flows of particles and electromagnetic fields. We have an incredibly complex situation compared to a motor in which a simple electromagnetic field system is cut by a simple metallic conductor. We have an organic system in which there are literally millions - billions - enormous numbers of fields being generateed by enormous numbers of particles, being created, changed, switched around, etc.
So we have a possible interaction between the structure of a physical system and the fluid flows within that system, with the heart being one of the most profound of those fluid flows. The heart could be seen as setting up a basic system of waves of movement that form the basis - the fundamental note - of the organic system. There are many other interesting bioelectronic characteristics. One of the most fascinating is the fact that protein-formed structures in the cellular space are based upon the charged distribution across their surface, the charged distribution is related to the sequence of amino acids in their particular side-chains and determines tendencies to act.
Amino acids have been characterized as being semi-conductor in nature on the basis of one end being an electron acceptor and the other one being an electron donor. These link up into chains. And then they have little side-spines, and these side-spines also have their characteristics. It is possible that charge movement takes place across the surface of a protein. A line of side-chains stick out of the surface of protein molecule, forming a charge distribution system that acts almost like an electrical conductor. The electrons could hop along the spines sticking out from the side of the protein molecule and actually flow across the surface as if they were going in a conductor. We have the possibility of electron conduction across the surface of the protein. We have any number of interesting prostheses, or special radicals in the sense of molecular substructures, that have a whole host of purposes.
For instance, the heme- of hemoglobin is a very fascinating iron prosthesis. There is a figure of iron and other atoms arrayed in space; very small compared to the size of the globin molecule to which it is attached, but very effective for acting as a grappling hook for oxygen. This is also under electronic control. We have the possibility of the rotation of the different parts of the molecule, if it breaks into several different sections in the sense that they are cohesive units, and those units are chained together. If those units change through a flow of electrons or through an input of a charge from the chemical space, then the shape could change.
So charge flow and charge distribution on a protein molecule is critical to change in the shape. There is evidence of special tissue in the back of rats, in fatty pads, that can uncouple the oxidation energy instead of converting to ATP as is the usual process at the level of ribozones. The special enzymes convert the oxidation energy directly into infra-red radiation and radiate it out of their bodies. So it is conceivable that radiation of infra-red takes place as a result of bioelectronic processes on protein. Another possibility is that of visible light in the various creatures that are able to glow.
This process is carried on by special enzymes. And again, we have the different processes that are electronically keyed and involve electronic radiation. Microwaves have been detected in the regions of the brain and the heart of men and rabbits as indicated in recent research projects. We see that a living organic system is a very complex holographic entity. And by holographic, it is meant that we have seen different things that are done at the molecular level through complex E-M activity and then we have conceived of flows and fields at the organismic level. Let us speak of the creation of those fields, or rather, the coordination of those fields.
In the nuclei of each cell in the human body, the DNA (deoxiribonucleic acid) carries the structure of our whole body. Not just our physical form, but also the processes that that form undergoes in terms of survival. If all of these things are in truth locked in the DNA, how does that turn into a functioning being? The DNA could possibly be the holographic projectors. The DNA could be projecting a field that would be experienced by other DNA in the body. The DNA, in a sense, could be linked together.
The DNA are also linked to their own cells that they are controlling via mechanisms of RNA transfer and enzymatic action in the cell. We believe that it is likely that the DNA and the RNA are in communication. Recent research has shown the possibility that DNA activates the motion of an RNA sphincter or iris mechanism to permit or exclude ion entrance into the cell. If this is, in fact, true and if the DNA controls the action of the RNA that goes to the ribosomes and other sites to create specific enzymes in the cell which causes further reaction, it is possible that the enzymes are under the control of the DNA also.
We believe that the DNA is the projector of the biohologram, both at the cellular level and at the whole-organismic level. This means that the DNA creates a situation of a complex pattern of three-dimensional electromagnetic standing and moving wave fronts in the space that the organism occupies. We believe that these wave fronts interact with, interpenetrate with, and interdetermine the physical substance that makes up the creature. The biohologram has characteristic properties of affecting the DNA that occupies its specific position within the biohologram. We believe that the nervous system constitutes a coordination mechanism that integrates DNA projections of the rest of the cells in the system. We believe it is first and foremost a coordination mechanism. And it aligns these cellular holograms and the linkage of the whole creature hologram.
The DNA in a particular cell is not totally active. It has been determined that there may be as little as 1% of the DNA present in the nucleus of the cell acting as the determinant for the structure of that cell. The nervous system, interestingly enough, has the highest percentage of operating DNA of any cell system in the body, of up to at least 10% of the DNA in the brain cells. The neuron nuclei are most active.
We suggest that the nervous system projects a biohologram which interacts with the cellular bioholograms. If the membrane structure of the neuron nuclei are examined closely, it will be seen that the different cavity systems that enter the outer membrane and also enter the inner membranes, will be seen to topologically be a single membrane. So the nucleus is lacking a membrane, or the neurons are lacking a membrane in the sense that two of their membranes are topologically one membrane. We suggest that the neurons are not actually brain cells as such. We believe that the brain is the cell, and the neurons are like a distributed nucleus for that cell. That makes the glial cells oranelles in the giant brain-cell. But they are also cells in their own right, much more so than neurons are. We believe the glials are infinitely involved with the biohologram, in its projections, and its coordination.
To go further, the biohologram, projected by the brain, creates standing and moving electromagnetic wave patterns at different frequencies of the spectrum in order to effect different biochemical transformations. There may be specific electrostatic fields, or there may be electrodynamic fields varying at various frequencies all the way up the spectrum into visible light and beyond, from low radio waves. Another process of holography is called "acoustical holography".
AcoustIic holography employs sound waves to create a movement on a surface that is used as the basis for creation of an optical hologram. So we essentially convert between a pattern of sound waves reflected off an object in space into a pattern of light waves that can reconstruct the shape of that object. We have a transformation between two levels of vibration, two media as it were, preserving a pattern in space. We suggest that this happens to a much greater degree in the DNA control of our bodies. The liver, for example, contains special function cells. The special function of the liver cells is created by the influence of the projection of the liver pattern on the DNA in the cells in the area where the liver is created. We are suggesting an important feedback mechanism between the activation of the DNA in a particular cellular tissue type that causes it to be that tissue type, and the biohologram being projected by the nervous system. This is bioholography.
There is much more that could be said about bioelectronics and biophysics, but this has been a sufficient introduction to let us enter the field of embryonic holography.
CONCEPTION
Human sexuality is usually viewed as a physical-chemical complex, a more coherent viewpoint would see human sexuality in terms of electronics. We will not go into the detail of the electronic behaviour of the nervous system of the human being during intercourse. But we will begin the story with ovulation. Researchers have found that at the moment of ovulation there is a definite shift in the electrical fields of the body of the woman. The membrane in the follicle bursts and the egg passes down the fallopian tubes. As a sidenote, we feel that the phases of the moon quite probably influence the permeability of the membrane in the follicle, making it more likely that the egg will pass down the fallopian tubes at certain periods of time.
The sperm is negative with respect to the egg. When the sperm and the egg unite, the membrane around the egg becomes hyper-polarized. It is at this moment that the electromagnetic entity is formed. The fertilized egg cell contains all information necessary to create a complete operational human being. And furthermore, the biohologram begins to function at conception, and only ceases to function at death. So, perhaps conception is the proper place to mark the beginning of the individual. The zygote begins to divide as it travels down the fallopian tube. It is quite possible that it navigates its passage partially by sensing the biohologram of the mother. And this may actually assist in approaching and attaching to the wall of the uterus. As soon as attachment to the wall of the uterus is complete, the zygote begins the process of establishing the linkage with the mother's circulatory system that will permit the passage of blood carrying important nutrients into the zygote.
The womb is a special electronic environment in which an electrolytic solution provides an excellent framework for electromagnetic effects which are necessary in the development of the egg.
DEVELOPMENT
The developing zygote is spherical in shape at first. Then it flattens to become the embryonic disk. The disk differentiates into three layers: the inner layer (the endoderm) will become the visceria - digestion, blood, etc; the middle layer (the myosoderm) will become the musculature; and the outer layer (the ectoderm), furthest away from the wall of the uterus, will become the nervous system and the skin. Very early in development, one of the first appearances of discrete structure has to do with the formation of the neural tube.
From a point in the center of the embryonic disk, a line defines itself out to the edge of the disk - a radial line. On both sides of this line, which is called the neural groove, the flesh puckers up and curves over to form a tube. This is called the neural tube. Both ends of the neural tube are open, originally. And we feel that it is possible field lines could pass through the tube. The tube is actually entrapping electromagnetic lines of force. Eventually the tube closes on both ends, trapping the amniotic fluid in the cerebrospinal space. We are suggesting that cerebrospinal fluid is an analog of amniotic fluid, that the embryo develops in.
We think that the nervous system, and most especially the brain, retains some embryonic properties all during the life of the organism in question. It is a safe assumption that the brain is, in a sense, the most infantile tissue in the body. As we mentioned before, the greatest part of the genome is active in the brain, and this agrees well with the idea that it is neo-embryonic in a sense becouse originally all of the genome or the DNA in the nucleus of the embryonic cells is functional. It is only with development that most of the genome shuts down and specific cells begin to function, operating on only a fraction of their DNA potential. With the formation of the neural tube, one end (the end that is in the center of the embryonic disk) begins to expand and enfold, twist, and develop itself into a system of complex tissues in complicated geometrical structures, which will become the structure of the brain of the creature.
It is our contention that the brain is necessary and the nervous system is necessary for the development of the creature. It is one of the earliest formations and is prior to the generation of most of the structure of the body. Our contention is that the DNA at the center of each cell creates the multi-cellular creature hologram by influencing the DNA in the center of the cells. Initially, the problem of development centers around the flow of materials through space, and the establishment of material structure at discrete locations in space.
The study of cymatics has to do with the creation of structures due to the resonance of wave patterns. As an example, in two dimensions, if a drumhead is covered with fine sand and then is caused to vibrate by drawing a violin bow across the edge of the diaphragm or drumhead, the sand will arrange itself in geometrical patterns. It will flow into lines that mark nodal lines of zero motion that separate zones of the drumhead that are moving in different directions. The simplest would be a single line that would be a diameter of the drumhead, signifying that one half was pulsating differently than the other half. But the line between them is not moving. This is very important to an understanding of biological development.
We believe that the biohologram projected by the embryonic nervous system forms a three-dimensional pattern of resonant structures; including points, lines, and planes that electromagnetically behave as the acoustic waves - the material waves - of the drumhead.& nbssp; In other words, these electromagnetic points, lines and planes form locations of no movement. Essentially the matter that is flowing, the electrolytic solutions that are flowing, that have been drawn from the blood of the mother, are caused to move rhythmically through the developing embryo.
As they reach certain points, lines and planes their motion stops. This is where structures are laid down and built up. This process is the key to embryonic holography. The zygote acts like a three-dimensional nozzle. Electrolytes from the blood stream of the mother flow through this nozzle and into the cymatic structure of standing wave patterns distributed through space inside the embryo and becomes fixed, solidified structures. This accounts for the different zones and the separation of the zones of the different kinds of tissue groups.
The picture is completed by the effects of the biohologram on the DNA of the cells that have formed along with the migration of the substances. You have an actual migration of cells, and a migration of substances throughout the embryo that take up locations dependent upon resonant structures of standing wave patterns. The cells, having arrived at their proper location and beginning to involve themselves with the materials and the fluids that are flowing in the three-dimensional nozzle are then specified in their particular tissue nature by the biohologram being projected by the nervous system. They are refined and developed as their genome is shut down until only the DNA that operates in a particular cell is just that DNA which defines the structure and operation of that particular kind of tissue group. So, through a complex interaction of three-dimensional electromagnetic fields rapidly dividing cells and a flow of electrolytes that is directed by the field but also feeds back on the field and influences it, a multi-cellular organism achieves the proper structure that will permit it to exist apart from the specialized environment of the womb.
This brings us to the close of the embryological development. When the proper point is reached at which a potentially self-sustaining entity has been created, then the conditions begin to change, leading to the expulsion of the new self-sufficient entity from the womb of the mother. We are now ready to enter another section that concerns itself with the postnatal stabilization of the new entity.
POSTNATAL DEVELOPMENT:
Birth occurs. The fetus is expelled from the electromagnetic environment of the womb, and enters a world of separate gases, liquids, and solids. The biohologram which led to the development and stabilization of the entity now takes on its important control behaviour that is necessary to keep the organism alive and well throughout its whole life.
The biohologram changes its action with the change in media. Its responsibility is no longer the actual development of structures, but rather the regulation of processes within those structures. Very little has been said about the potential interaction of the biohologram of the mother and the developing baby. We do not know very much, except that the possibility exists. However, at the moment of birth that intimate interlocking of holograms ceases to exist. Now the entity enters the world in which it is alone. In a sense that only under certain conditions can it interact bioholographically with other creatures.
Evidence has been found that certain kinds of salamanders have a complex system of electromagnetic sensing that is based on a string of spots along the side of the salamander. As long as this salamander is in salt water, which is an excellent electromagnetic conductor, this system of spots serves to detect three-dimensional electromagnetic field changes around the salamander; thereby alerting it to food, enemies, etc. But the salamander spends part of its time on dry land. When it comes out on dry land, holographic detections system withers away and ceases to function because there is not a medium that will sustain the electromagnetic fields necessary.
However, when the salamander re-enters the water, the holographic detection system comes back into operation. We suggest that humans and other multi-cellular land creatures have such an external holographic detection system in the womb. But that just like the salamander that external system tends to atrophy in the atmosphere because it does not have sufficient media to sustain the necessary electromagnetic fields.
However, there is still a very slight leakage of the biohologram beyond the skin of the entity. We feel that this slight leakage is the basis of a great deal of paranormal phenomena and is definitely the origin of the concept of the aura. Under certain circumstances and in certain individuals in abnormal states, the projected bio-field becomes faintly visible. It is possible, as recent research has shown, that the human eye can detect other frequencies than the strictly visual frequencies of light, that the leaking biohologram may actually be on a different frequency than the visible spectrum. And our eyes are merely transducing it, or translating it, into the visible spectrum.
So we feel that the aura is intimately connected to the biohologram that causes the body to continue to function properly. We will return later to some other interesting facets of the manipulation of the biohologram. For the moment, we will simply say that dowsing might possibly be related to an external functioning of the bioholographic system of the organism. Experiments have shown that dowsers detect extremely minute changes in geo-magnetism. And these minute changes are most probably connected to the presence of water underground.
We are mostly water, and the structuring of water in our systems is very closely connected to the bioelectronic behaviour of our systems. So it is conceivable that we have some sort of sympathetic resonance that can permit us to detect a very tiny minute magnetic field change that is associated with underground water. Ionization of the air is extremely important to health. Ionization of the air also would potentially permit the expansion of the bioholograms further beyond the skin, or the expansion of what is commonly called the aura.
We find that areas of high ionization (such as mountain tops, sea coasts, areas around waterfalls, etc.) have been known since time immemorial as holy or magical places. This might be connected to the fact that the increased ionization in the atmosphere permits the expansion of the aura or biohologram to the extent that bioholograms of individuals can interact or to the extent that an individual can manipulate this biohologram to cause external effects that would be perceived by the ancient superstitious people as magic. As long as the biohologram is functioning properly, as long as the nervous system is continuing to coordinate and project the complex three-dimensional fields that support the biological processes in the organism, the organism survives.
When the biohologram ceases to function properly, the organism suffers. And when the principle action of the biohologram stops, the organism dies. If there is any scientific correlate to the concept of Soul, it is most probably this bioholographic pattern system. It is composed of the ultimate stuff of the universe, electromagnetic field energy. Which does not die in the sense that creatures die, so it fulfills the attribute of the Soul of being immortal in that sense.
However, the pattern does change with growth, with learning, with experience, and with age. So there is a development of the Soul or the electromagnetic field entity. It is conceivable, although a great deal more research needs to be done, that the electromagnetic field entity might be capable of an independent existence which would form the basis for the concept of life after death.
However, a free electromagnetic field entity without a biophysiological matrix might have a difficult time in interacting with creatures, such as ourselves, that are still utilizing the biophysiological matrix. This might be the origin of stories of ghosts and so forth, in which a disembodied biohologram attempting to communicate with a physical creature could only enter the nervous system of the creature and cause hallucinations of forms in space that upon examination disappears, or turn out to be merely hallucinations, having no scientifically verifiable existence.
REGENERATION
In reptiles, tissue regeneration of a profound nature is possible. Entire limbs can be replaced. The process goes something like this: A leg is lost. The damaged cells on the stump revert back to a neo-embryonic condition. They now undergo explosive growth. The growth slows as the crude size and shape of the leg reappears. Refinement continues. Details appear. Growth slows even further. And finally, a new leg exists. Such regeneration is not possible in mammals. Several reasons suggest themselves, but we favor the concept that the greater detail and sophistication of the biological machinery in mammals is made possible by the greater sophistication of the bioholographic projection system, which we call the nervous system.
It is the recreation of the nerve linkages that permit the very sophisticated fields to exist, that define our appendages, that is lacking. We can generate new tissue, but to regenerate nerve cells seems to be much more difficult. And without those nerve cells being present in the new limb, the final sophisticated stages of coordination are not possible. Many theorists are now tending toward the concept that cancerous tissue is tissue that has been damaged in some fashion and has reverted to a neo-embryonic condition. However, because the necessary coordination control is not possible for regeneration to proceed, the cancerous tissue is stuck in the earliest stages of regeneration and merely continues to divide and expand without any control whatsoever.
We also believe that this behaviour is electromagnetic properties to such a great degree that the physical biohologram is no longer capable of controlling the tissue. Therefore, it is in a runaway condition. If this is actually true, that cancerous tissue is runaway neo-embryonic tissue caused by a partially functioning regeneration system, then if we can understand the process better, not only could we control cancer, but even more important and profound, we may be able to unlock the key of complex mammalian regeneration processes. So that some day it may be possible to regenerate an entire limb that has been lost from a mammal, up to and including human beings. Becker, in a series of experiments, has shown that bone regeneration can be tripled in speed by the proper application of electromagnetic fields from the outside with no implants necessary.
This proves that EM fields have a profound role in the generation and coordination of biological structures. As mentioned earlier, we feel that the biohologram is closely connected to paranormal phenomena. It is quite possible that psychic healers who "lay on hands" are, in essence, exporting the power of their own bioholograms and asserting the control of that biohologram over the sick, weak biohologram that has permitted the disease condition to occur in the patient. Just in the way that two oscillators that are connected will tend toward the frequency of the more powerful oscillator, if two biohologram systems are connected, the more powerful biohologram may entrain the weaker biohologram and restore it to its proper coordination function. I
t is possible that psychic surgery occurs via a process of the location of the diseased tissue through EM sensing inasmuch as diseased tissue has different electromagnetic properties than healthy tissue. An invasion of the body of the patient by the hand of the psychic surgeon occurs through manipulation of electromagnetic fields that actually cause the skin to part and help to locate the diseased tissue and then cause the skin to reclose. It has been shown in experiments that blood vessel is reversed from its natural, undamaged condition. In other words, when a blood vessel is damaged, its polarity changes.
If we can prevent that polarity change, we can prevent blood from clotting. This may even explain the mastery of bloodless, tool-less psychic surgery in which a surgeon with his bare hands can enter a human body and withdraw without leaving a cut. It is more an actual interaction between bioholograms than an actual interaction between physical substances. The physical substances are moved aside and then rejoined by the operation of the biohologram, thereby preventing the loss of blood or the appearance of a scar. In closing, we should like to state that the earth, the sun, and the galaxy are all very complex electromagnetic entities; and that we feel that from the earliest existence of a bioholographic entity in the womb, the sun, earth, moon, other planets, and even stars beyond the solar system influence and to some extent direct the development of the entity.
This is a very concrete electromagnetic connection that could serve as a scientific basis for explaining astrology. Not only do these conditions influence prenatal development, but they are also present postnatally and continue to influence the organism in a variety of interesting ways. Evidence has come to light that the brain can intercept various frequencies of radiation from astronomical and terrestrial phenomena. If this is so, then it provides a very real scientific basis for the statement of the mystics that we are all inextricably woven into the fabric of the universe; we are not separate, distinct physical entities, but we are rather partial interacting electromagnetic entities that partake of the rich electromagnetic life of the universe. We will cover these concepts and the other concepts of para-normal phenomena at a later date in other papers. Holographic modeling is the next great revolution that awaits biology.

INTRODUCTION
Holography is the process of recording and recreating complex three-dimensional wave fronts in space. The holography with which we are most familiar deals mostly with the visible spectrum, so we tend to think of holography in terms of three-dimensional photography. However, holography can be conceived in different realms of the spectrum. The whole process of lasers and laser abilities to create images in space in visible light radiation is closely connected to microwave research and a device called a "maser" which broadcasts coherent radiation of microwave frequencies. It should be possible in theory, with the proper kind of equipment, to capture and broadcast complex three-dimensional wave form structures in space across a whole broad band of the electromagnetic spectrum. We can call this "broad band holography". Henceforth in this paper, when we are dealing with the term "holography" we suggest that it means a whole range of processes for capturing wave forms at different frequencies on the spectrum.
Some of the interesting properties of holography have to do with its differences from photography. In photography, the light from an object is reflected onto a flat surface where it essentially discolors that surface; or rather, the shadow that it casts discolors that surface. If you cut a photograph in half, you have half of the original picture that you started with. Holography is quite different. In a hologram, the pattern of light that is created by the object is recorded at each point of the film. Each grain contains the whole image. Each image is slightly different, however, and all of the images are very vague and very fuzzy. Detail in a photograph is not particularly connected to the size in the sense that a small piece of a photograph will have a lot of detail on a small area of the scene. A large photograph will have a lot of detail on all of the scene. In a hologram, each grain has some of the information about the whole scene. It has some detail about the whole scene. A large hologram has a lot of details about the whole scene.
So something different happens when you cut a hologram in half: you get the original picture, but it is less clear because you have lost detail. A lot of work has been done recently (for over 30 years) on the electromagnetic field phenomena that are associated with the biological processes. The idea is nothing new, of course. Farraday did some experimentation with animal electricity, and Galvanni (with his Galvannic cells) did experiments with animals. It was quite understandable in the growth of science to accept life as being electronic. However, within the last 50 years, our intense activity in the biological field and the breakthroughs in molecular biology (DNA research, etc.) have tended to obscure some deeper questions as to our understanding the nature of life. We are reaching the end of the paradigm in which we can afford to ignore the electromagnetic properties of the macro-system and deal with chemistry as if it were taking place in a neutral system.
This new field can be termed "bio-electronic": a term based on biophysics. Conventional biophysics seems to be centered around very minute detail of things, such as ion exchanges across cell membranes, etc. And very, very little contact is made with the idea that the electromagnetic systems may regulate the whole organism, the whole multi-cellular organism, and not merely function at the level of cells. The regulation of the nervous system is appreciated to be primarily a biochemical phenomena in the sense that it is the exchange or profusion of calcium and potassium across a cell membrane. And so, what you essentially have, is a ripple effect that travels down the process of the cell, caused by an exchange of ions. Thus it is a chemical signal. And the synapse transmits, again, chemical, so that you have another chemical signal, and even though electromagnetics is appreciated in the nervous system, it is seen as an epi-phenomena.
In other words, not really appreciated as being integral or central to the regulation of the system. However, the theories of regulation of the system are very poor. And they do no justice to the complexity and subtlety of a living process. Some of the specific electronic characteristics in the cell could pertain to the presence or absence of various chemicals that either accept or donate electrons. Electron donation or electron acceptance are connected to the older ideas of acids and bases, of chemical processes called oxidation and reduction.
One must then approach a biological solution, or interior body fluids, on the basis of the electrolytes in solution: the different ionized and charged particles. Both kinds exist. And this is only the beginning. We must deal with the fields that exist, the potentials and the polarities. And between the two of them the charged particles in the fields would then begin to generate the flows. Then we must deal with a process called electrophoresis, which is the movement of small particles by an electrostatic field. And we could also see the possibility of electrodynamic fields moving the particles in waves.
What we have, essentially, is a solution of charged particles under a very complex control via a complicated electromagnetic field system that moves those solutions around. But in moving the solutions, the charged distributions inside the organism change and modify the fields. There is a very complex feedback between flows of particles and electromagnetic fields. We have an incredibly complex situation compared to a motor in which a simple electromagnetic field system is cut by a simple metallic conductor. We have an organic system in which there are literally millions - billions - enormous numbers of fields being generateed by enormous numbers of particles, being created, changed, switched around, etc.
So we have a possible interaction between the structure of a physical system and the fluid flows within that system, with the heart being one of the most profound of those fluid flows. The heart could be seen as setting up a basic system of waves of movement that form the basis - the fundamental note - of the organic system. There are many other interesting bioelectronic characteristics. One of the most fascinating is the fact that protein-formed structures in the cellular space are based upon the charged distribution across their surface, the charged distribution is related to the sequence of amino acids in their particular side-chains and determines tendencies to act.
Amino acids have been characterized as being semi-conductor in nature on the basis of one end being an electron acceptor and the other one being an electron donor. These link up into chains. And then they have little side-spines, and these side-spines also have their characteristics. It is possible that charge movement takes place across the surface of a protein. A line of side-chains stick out of the surface of protein molecule, forming a charge distribution system that acts almost like an electrical conductor. The electrons could hop along the spines sticking out from the side of the protein molecule and actually flow across the surface as if they were going in a conductor. We have the possibility of electron conduction across the surface of the protein. We have any number of interesting prostheses, or special radicals in the sense of molecular substructures, that have a whole host of purposes.
For instance, the heme- of hemoglobin is a very fascinating iron prosthesis. There is a figure of iron and other atoms arrayed in space; very small compared to the size of the globin molecule to which it is attached, but very effective for acting as a grappling hook for oxygen. This is also under electronic control. We have the possibility of the rotation of the different parts of the molecule, if it breaks into several different sections in the sense that they are cohesive units, and those units are chained together. If those units change through a flow of electrons or through an input of a charge from the chemical space, then the shape could change.
So charge flow and charge distribution on a protein molecule is critical to change in the shape. There is evidence of special tissue in the back of rats, in fatty pads, that can uncouple the oxidation energy instead of converting to ATP as is the usual process at the level of ribozones. The special enzymes convert the oxidation energy directly into infra-red radiation and radiate it out of their bodies. So it is conceivable that radiation of infra-red takes place as a result of bioelectronic processes on protein. Another possibility is that of visible light in the various creatures that are able to glow.
This process is carried on by special enzymes. And again, we have the different processes that are electronically keyed and involve electronic radiation. Microwaves have been detected in the regions of the brain and the heart of men and rabbits as indicated in recent research projects. We see that a living organic system is a very complex holographic entity. And by holographic, it is meant that we have seen different things that are done at the molecular level through complex E-M activity and then we have conceived of flows and fields at the organismic level. Let us speak of the creation of those fields, or rather, the coordination of those fields.
In the nuclei of each cell in the human body, the DNA (deoxiribonucleic acid) carries the structure of our whole body. Not just our physical form, but also the processes that that form undergoes in terms of survival. If all of these things are in truth locked in the DNA, how does that turn into a functioning being? The DNA could possibly be the holographic projectors. The DNA could be projecting a field that would be experienced by other DNA in the body. The DNA, in a sense, could be linked together.
The DNA are also linked to their own cells that they are controlling via mechanisms of RNA transfer and enzymatic action in the cell. We believe that it is likely that the DNA and the RNA are in communication. Recent research has shown the possibility that DNA activates the motion of an RNA sphincter or iris mechanism to permit or exclude ion entrance into the cell. If this is, in fact, true and if the DNA controls the action of the RNA that goes to the ribosomes and other sites to create specific enzymes in the cell which causes further reaction, it is possible that the enzymes are under the control of the DNA also.
We believe that the DNA is the projector of the biohologram, both at the cellular level and at the whole-organismic level. This means that the DNA creates a situation of a complex pattern of three-dimensional electromagnetic standing and moving wave fronts in the space that the organism occupies. We believe that these wave fronts interact with, interpenetrate with, and interdetermine the physical substance that makes up the creature. The biohologram has characteristic properties of affecting the DNA that occupies its specific position within the biohologram. We believe that the nervous system constitutes a coordination mechanism that integrates DNA projections of the rest of the cells in the system. We believe it is first and foremost a coordination mechanism. And it aligns these cellular holograms and the linkage of the whole creature hologram.
The DNA in a particular cell is not totally active. It has been determined that there may be as little as 1% of the DNA present in the nucleus of the cell acting as the determinant for the structure of that cell. The nervous system, interestingly enough, has the highest percentage of operating DNA of any cell system in the body, of up to at least 10% of the DNA in the brain cells. The neuron nuclei are most active.
We suggest that the nervous system projects a biohologram which interacts with the cellular bioholograms. If the membrane structure of the neuron nuclei are examined closely, it will be seen that the different cavity systems that enter the outer membrane and also enter the inner membranes, will be seen to topologically be a single membrane. So the nucleus is lacking a membrane, or the neurons are lacking a membrane in the sense that two of their membranes are topologically one membrane. We suggest that the neurons are not actually brain cells as such. We believe that the brain is the cell, and the neurons are like a distributed nucleus for that cell. That makes the glial cells oranelles in the giant brain-cell. But they are also cells in their own right, much more so than neurons are. We believe the glials are infinitely involved with the biohologram, in its projections, and its coordination.
To go further, the biohologram, projected by the brain, creates standing and moving electromagnetic wave patterns at different frequencies of the spectrum in order to effect different biochemical transformations. There may be specific electrostatic fields, or there may be electrodynamic fields varying at various frequencies all the way up the spectrum into visible light and beyond, from low radio waves. Another process of holography is called "acoustical holography".
AcoustIic holography employs sound waves to create a movement on a surface that is used as the basis for creation of an optical hologram. So we essentially convert between a pattern of sound waves reflected off an object in space into a pattern of light waves that can reconstruct the shape of that object. We have a transformation between two levels of vibration, two media as it were, preserving a pattern in space. We suggest that this happens to a much greater degree in the DNA control of our bodies. The liver, for example, contains special function cells. The special function of the liver cells is created by the influence of the projection of the liver pattern on the DNA in the cells in the area where the liver is created. We are suggesting an important feedback mechanism between the activation of the DNA in a particular cellular tissue type that causes it to be that tissue type, and the biohologram being projected by the nervous system. This is bioholography.
There is much more that could be said about bioelectronics and biophysics, but this has been a sufficient introduction to let us enter the field of embryonic holography.
CONCEPTION
Human sexuality is usually viewed as a physical-chemical complex, a more coherent viewpoint would see human sexuality in terms of electronics. We will not go into the detail of the electronic behaviour of the nervous system of the human being during intercourse. But we will begin the story with ovulation. Researchers have found that at the moment of ovulation there is a definite shift in the electrical fields of the body of the woman. The membrane in the follicle bursts and the egg passes down the fallopian tubes. As a sidenote, we feel that the phases of the moon quite probably influence the permeability of the membrane in the follicle, making it more likely that the egg will pass down the fallopian tubes at certain periods of time.
The sperm is negative with respect to the egg. When the sperm and the egg unite, the membrane around the egg becomes hyper-polarized. It is at this moment that the electromagnetic entity is formed. The fertilized egg cell contains all information necessary to create a complete operational human being. And furthermore, the biohologram begins to function at conception, and only ceases to function at death. So, perhaps conception is the proper place to mark the beginning of the individual. The zygote begins to divide as it travels down the fallopian tube. It is quite possible that it navigates its passage partially by sensing the biohologram of the mother. And this may actually assist in approaching and attaching to the wall of the uterus. As soon as attachment to the wall of the uterus is complete, the zygote begins the process of establishing the linkage with the mother's circulatory system that will permit the passage of blood carrying important nutrients into the zygote.
The womb is a special electronic environment in which an electrolytic solution provides an excellent framework for electromagnetic effects which are necessary in the development of the egg.
DEVELOPMENT
The developing zygote is spherical in shape at first. Then it flattens to become the embryonic disk. The disk differentiates into three layers: the inner layer (the endoderm) will become the visceria - digestion, blood, etc; the middle layer (the myosoderm) will become the musculature; and the outer layer (the ectoderm), furthest away from the wall of the uterus, will become the nervous system and the skin. Very early in development, one of the first appearances of discrete structure has to do with the formation of the neural tube.
From a point in the center of the embryonic disk, a line defines itself out to the edge of the disk - a radial line. On both sides of this line, which is called the neural groove, the flesh puckers up and curves over to form a tube. This is called the neural tube. Both ends of the neural tube are open, originally. And we feel that it is possible field lines could pass through the tube. The tube is actually entrapping electromagnetic lines of force. Eventually the tube closes on both ends, trapping the amniotic fluid in the cerebrospinal space. We are suggesting that cerebrospinal fluid is an analog of amniotic fluid, that the embryo develops in.
We think that the nervous system, and most especially the brain, retains some embryonic properties all during the life of the organism in question. It is a safe assumption that the brain is, in a sense, the most infantile tissue in the body. As we mentioned before, the greatest part of the genome is active in the brain, and this agrees well with the idea that it is neo-embryonic in a sense becouse originally all of the genome or the DNA in the nucleus of the embryonic cells is functional. It is only with development that most of the genome shuts down and specific cells begin to function, operating on only a fraction of their DNA potential. With the formation of the neural tube, one end (the end that is in the center of the embryonic disk) begins to expand and enfold, twist, and develop itself into a system of complex tissues in complicated geometrical structures, which will become the structure of the brain of the creature.
It is our contention that the brain is necessary and the nervous system is necessary for the development of the creature. It is one of the earliest formations and is prior to the generation of most of the structure of the body. Our contention is that the DNA at the center of each cell creates the multi-cellular creature hologram by influencing the DNA in the center of the cells. Initially, the problem of development centers around the flow of materials through space, and the establishment of material structure at discrete locations in space.
The study of cymatics has to do with the creation of structures due to the resonance of wave patterns. As an example, in two dimensions, if a drumhead is covered with fine sand and then is caused to vibrate by drawing a violin bow across the edge of the diaphragm or drumhead, the sand will arrange itself in geometrical patterns. It will flow into lines that mark nodal lines of zero motion that separate zones of the drumhead that are moving in different directions. The simplest would be a single line that would be a diameter of the drumhead, signifying that one half was pulsating differently than the other half. But the line between them is not moving. This is very important to an understanding of biological development.
We believe that the biohologram projected by the embryonic nervous system forms a three-dimensional pattern of resonant structures; including points, lines, and planes that electromagnetically behave as the acoustic waves - the material waves - of the drumhead.& nbssp; In other words, these electromagnetic points, lines and planes form locations of no movement. Essentially the matter that is flowing, the electrolytic solutions that are flowing, that have been drawn from the blood of the mother, are caused to move rhythmically through the developing embryo.
As they reach certain points, lines and planes their motion stops. This is where structures are laid down and built up. This process is the key to embryonic holography. The zygote acts like a three-dimensional nozzle. Electrolytes from the blood stream of the mother flow through this nozzle and into the cymatic structure of standing wave patterns distributed through space inside the embryo and becomes fixed, solidified structures. This accounts for the different zones and the separation of the zones of the different kinds of tissue groups.
The picture is completed by the effects of the biohologram on the DNA of the cells that have formed along with the migration of the substances. You have an actual migration of cells, and a migration of substances throughout the embryo that take up locations dependent upon resonant structures of standing wave patterns. The cells, having arrived at their proper location and beginning to involve themselves with the materials and the fluids that are flowing in the three-dimensional nozzle are then specified in their particular tissue nature by the biohologram being projected by the nervous system. They are refined and developed as their genome is shut down until only the DNA that operates in a particular cell is just that DNA which defines the structure and operation of that particular kind of tissue group. So, through a complex interaction of three-dimensional electromagnetic fields rapidly dividing cells and a flow of electrolytes that is directed by the field but also feeds back on the field and influences it, a multi-cellular organism achieves the proper structure that will permit it to exist apart from the specialized environment of the womb.
This brings us to the close of the embryological development. When the proper point is reached at which a potentially self-sustaining entity has been created, then the conditions begin to change, leading to the expulsion of the new self-sufficient entity from the womb of the mother. We are now ready to enter another section that concerns itself with the postnatal stabilization of the new entity.
POSTNATAL DEVELOPMENT:
Birth occurs. The fetus is expelled from the electromagnetic environment of the womb, and enters a world of separate gases, liquids, and solids. The biohologram which led to the development and stabilization of the entity now takes on its important control behaviour that is necessary to keep the organism alive and well throughout its whole life.
The biohologram changes its action with the change in media. Its responsibility is no longer the actual development of structures, but rather the regulation of processes within those structures. Very little has been said about the potential interaction of the biohologram of the mother and the developing baby. We do not know very much, except that the possibility exists. However, at the moment of birth that intimate interlocking of holograms ceases to exist. Now the entity enters the world in which it is alone. In a sense that only under certain conditions can it interact bioholographically with other creatures.
Evidence has been found that certain kinds of salamanders have a complex system of electromagnetic sensing that is based on a string of spots along the side of the salamander. As long as this salamander is in salt water, which is an excellent electromagnetic conductor, this system of spots serves to detect three-dimensional electromagnetic field changes around the salamander; thereby alerting it to food, enemies, etc. But the salamander spends part of its time on dry land. When it comes out on dry land, holographic detections system withers away and ceases to function because there is not a medium that will sustain the electromagnetic fields necessary.
However, when the salamander re-enters the water, the holographic detection system comes back into operation. We suggest that humans and other multi-cellular land creatures have such an external holographic detection system in the womb. But that just like the salamander that external system tends to atrophy in the atmosphere because it does not have sufficient media to sustain the necessary electromagnetic fields.
However, there is still a very slight leakage of the biohologram beyond the skin of the entity. We feel that this slight leakage is the basis of a great deal of paranormal phenomena and is definitely the origin of the concept of the aura. Under certain circumstances and in certain individuals in abnormal states, the projected bio-field becomes faintly visible. It is possible, as recent research has shown, that the human eye can detect other frequencies than the strictly visual frequencies of light, that the leaking biohologram may actually be on a different frequency than the visible spectrum. And our eyes are merely transducing it, or translating it, into the visible spectrum.
So we feel that the aura is intimately connected to the biohologram that causes the body to continue to function properly. We will return later to some other interesting facets of the manipulation of the biohologram. For the moment, we will simply say that dowsing might possibly be related to an external functioning of the bioholographic system of the organism. Experiments have shown that dowsers detect extremely minute changes in geo-magnetism. And these minute changes are most probably connected to the presence of water underground.
We are mostly water, and the structuring of water in our systems is very closely connected to the bioelectronic behaviour of our systems. So it is conceivable that we have some sort of sympathetic resonance that can permit us to detect a very tiny minute magnetic field change that is associated with underground water. Ionization of the air is extremely important to health. Ionization of the air also would potentially permit the expansion of the bioholograms further beyond the skin, or the expansion of what is commonly called the aura.
We find that areas of high ionization (such as mountain tops, sea coasts, areas around waterfalls, etc.) have been known since time immemorial as holy or magical places. This might be connected to the fact that the increased ionization in the atmosphere permits the expansion of the aura or biohologram to the extent that bioholograms of individuals can interact or to the extent that an individual can manipulate this biohologram to cause external effects that would be perceived by the ancient superstitious people as magic. As long as the biohologram is functioning properly, as long as the nervous system is continuing to coordinate and project the complex three-dimensional fields that support the biological processes in the organism, the organism survives.
When the biohologram ceases to function properly, the organism suffers. And when the principle action of the biohologram stops, the organism dies. If there is any scientific correlate to the concept of Soul, it is most probably this bioholographic pattern system. It is composed of the ultimate stuff of the universe, electromagnetic field energy. Which does not die in the sense that creatures die, so it fulfills the attribute of the Soul of being immortal in that sense.
However, the pattern does change with growth, with learning, with experience, and with age. So there is a development of the Soul or the electromagnetic field entity. It is conceivable, although a great deal more research needs to be done, that the electromagnetic field entity might be capable of an independent existence which would form the basis for the concept of life after death.
However, a free electromagnetic field entity without a biophysiological matrix might have a difficult time in interacting with creatures, such as ourselves, that are still utilizing the biophysiological matrix. This might be the origin of stories of ghosts and so forth, in which a disembodied biohologram attempting to communicate with a physical creature could only enter the nervous system of the creature and cause hallucinations of forms in space that upon examination disappears, or turn out to be merely hallucinations, having no scientifically verifiable existence.
REGENERATION
In reptiles, tissue regeneration of a profound nature is possible. Entire limbs can be replaced. The process goes something like this: A leg is lost. The damaged cells on the stump revert back to a neo-embryonic condition. They now undergo explosive growth. The growth slows as the crude size and shape of the leg reappears. Refinement continues. Details appear. Growth slows even further. And finally, a new leg exists. Such regeneration is not possible in mammals. Several reasons suggest themselves, but we favor the concept that the greater detail and sophistication of the biological machinery in mammals is made possible by the greater sophistication of the bioholographic projection system, which we call the nervous system.
It is the recreation of the nerve linkages that permit the very sophisticated fields to exist, that define our appendages, that is lacking. We can generate new tissue, but to regenerate nerve cells seems to be much more difficult. And without those nerve cells being present in the new limb, the final sophisticated stages of coordination are not possible. Many theorists are now tending toward the concept that cancerous tissue is tissue that has been damaged in some fashion and has reverted to a neo-embryonic condition. However, because the necessary coordination control is not possible for regeneration to proceed, the cancerous tissue is stuck in the earliest stages of regeneration and merely continues to divide and expand without any control whatsoever.
We also believe that this behaviour is electromagnetic properties to such a great degree that the physical biohologram is no longer capable of controlling the tissue. Therefore, it is in a runaway condition. If this is actually true, that cancerous tissue is runaway neo-embryonic tissue caused by a partially functioning regeneration system, then if we can understand the process better, not only could we control cancer, but even more important and profound, we may be able to unlock the key of complex mammalian regeneration processes. So that some day it may be possible to regenerate an entire limb that has been lost from a mammal, up to and including human beings. Becker, in a series of experiments, has shown that bone regeneration can be tripled in speed by the proper application of electromagnetic fields from the outside with no implants necessary.
This proves that EM fields have a profound role in the generation and coordination of biological structures. As mentioned earlier, we feel that the biohologram is closely connected to paranormal phenomena. It is quite possible that psychic healers who "lay on hands" are, in essence, exporting the power of their own bioholograms and asserting the control of that biohologram over the sick, weak biohologram that has permitted the disease condition to occur in the patient. Just in the way that two oscillators that are connected will tend toward the frequency of the more powerful oscillator, if two biohologram systems are connected, the more powerful biohologram may entrain the weaker biohologram and restore it to its proper coordination function. I
t is possible that psychic surgery occurs via a process of the location of the diseased tissue through EM sensing inasmuch as diseased tissue has different electromagnetic properties than healthy tissue. An invasion of the body of the patient by the hand of the psychic surgeon occurs through manipulation of electromagnetic fields that actually cause the skin to part and help to locate the diseased tissue and then cause the skin to reclose. It has been shown in experiments that blood vessel is reversed from its natural, undamaged condition. In other words, when a blood vessel is damaged, its polarity changes.
If we can prevent that polarity change, we can prevent blood from clotting. This may even explain the mastery of bloodless, tool-less psychic surgery in which a surgeon with his bare hands can enter a human body and withdraw without leaving a cut. It is more an actual interaction between bioholograms than an actual interaction between physical substances. The physical substances are moved aside and then rejoined by the operation of the biohologram, thereby preventing the loss of blood or the appearance of a scar. In closing, we should like to state that the earth, the sun, and the galaxy are all very complex electromagnetic entities; and that we feel that from the earliest existence of a bioholographic entity in the womb, the sun, earth, moon, other planets, and even stars beyond the solar system influence and to some extent direct the development of the entity.
This is a very concrete electromagnetic connection that could serve as a scientific basis for explaining astrology. Not only do these conditions influence prenatal development, but they are also present postnatally and continue to influence the organism in a variety of interesting ways. Evidence has come to light that the brain can intercept various frequencies of radiation from astronomical and terrestrial phenomena. If this is so, then it provides a very real scientific basis for the statement of the mystics that we are all inextricably woven into the fabric of the universe; we are not separate, distinct physical entities, but we are rather partial interacting electromagnetic entities that partake of the rich electromagnetic life of the universe. We will cover these concepts and the other concepts of para-normal phenomena at a later date in other papers. Holographic modeling is the next great revolution that awaits biology.
