Hopefully, this rather lengthy overview of the evolution of electromagnetic treatments is laying a secure foundation for understanding the promise of healing in the future. My own studies go back to the early 70s so I am going somewhat from memory, but this is safe so long as the principles are understood.
Initially, all the investigative work done by Dr. Albert Abrams involved direct contact with the patients. Since some patients were in very poor condition, occasionally medical students stood in for the patients by using some sort of connection, such as a wire and much later a sample, what is often called a witness. This might be a drop of blood, saliva, hair, or a photograph. Over time, this evolved into remote treatments that, of course, raised some eyebrows as well as many accusations that have to be understood in context.
My apologies that some details slip my mind, but an experiment was done in England using unexposed film and a frequency device. The subject was to visualize pictures lost in bombing, photographs with sentimental value. After a very successful day, one of the staff noticed that the machine had not been plugged in. It is easy to imagine the restlessness in the room as well as the attempts to explain how this might have been possible.
At this juncture, we obviously have to ask if the results has any relationship to the frequency device or merely to thoughts. This is very important because reliance had been placed on the equipment rather than the much more subjective nature of an invisible factor that defies both time and space.
Personally, I do not think the one theory negates the other, but both require examination.
Since the advent of the germ theory, a lot of attention shifted from the individual to the pathogen. If we examine the history of medicine, there were epochs when compassion seemed lacking and the burden of sin or karma weighed heavily on the human psyche. Doctors sometimes withheld treatment on the grounds that patients deserved to suffer for their misdeeds. Shifting the blame to a microorganism lifted the guilt by implicating an impersonal causal factor. This was potentially very broad since it could include hygiene, contamination of water or food, or microscopic organisms that only a few specialists had ever actually seen.
We could argue that the pendulum swung very far in the opposite direction. However, in doing so, all the blame tended to fall on the germ. Within the radionics world, these pathogens had specific identifiable frequencies that could be negated. From a sociological and psychological perspective, this was liberating, but the responsibility placed on the doctor was now greater than ever. In short, the doctor could be blamed for the failures . . . and patients tended to place inordinate faith in their skills.
Meanwhile, the psychospiritual patterns underlying the manifestation of disease were largely ignored, even ridiculed as unscientific. Somewhere in between these extremes, there is a lot to explore so the fact that an experiment succeeded despite the fact that the frequency device was unplugged takes some explanation.
At 80, it feels justifiable to include personal observations even if they lack footnotes. The idea of a vibratory factor being causal is probably not new, but we probably have to see that the concept of an invisible force gave rise to an avalanche of alternative healing practices, not all of which are entirely grounded in either science or reality. That said, in the right hands, many of these practices have both integrity and efficacy.
We cannot, however, appreciate them unless we understand the underlying principles. Just as pathogens have frequencies, all life forms not only have patterns but the capacity to respond to internal and external influences. To make this as clear as possible, try to visualize the unexposed photographic plate or film responding to the thought of the individual who wanted to reconstruct an heirloom photograph. It is very easy to understand the sentimental value, but exactly how is that energy transmitted to the film? We can speculate that the clearer the inner visualization, the better the image outcome would be, but can we explain this in medically acceptable terms?
Two points stand out for me. First, the subject or patient has a blueprint that he or she can project. Second, this pattern could be stronger than a temporary application of a frequency.
This leads to the question of whether a frequency treatment involves one session or multiple sessions. We find practitioners on both sides of this fence, but I will argue in favor of multiple sessions because patterns are often very deep and persistent. Applying a frequency or a psychological understanding to a pattern may shift it, but it may or may not be a permanent fix since the tendency to get back in the same rut may be quite strong.
Perhaps my father said it best. One day, he showed me a horoscope. I asked,
”What’s this?” He said, “I’m going to marry her.” I said, “What? Another Piscean named Ruth?” He said, “Yes, it’s easier to make a mistake you are used to than a brand new one.” Well, he did have a sense of humor, but . . .
It is very easy to go off on tangents because the subject matter is actually vast. As a music therapist, I cannot separate “frequency” from “waves” so the interface between something like radionics and music is cymatics. Here, we see that sound and frequency actually cause movement and formation of patterns, but they are not necessarily permanent. The patterns are formed by the “application” of sound, but when the sound is no longer vibrating, the forms tend to reshape after the frequency application is suspended.
If we define frequency broadly enough, it will include not just the devices stemming from the work of Abrams, Rife, Voll, and others, but all the tuning forks, singing bowls, hands on healing and noise of our civilization such as endless audible and inaudible use of waves for broadcasting, the noise of machines and vehicles and planes, as well as the sounds of babbling brooks and wind. To this, we can add the songs of birds and music. On top of this, we can add all the electromagnetic pollution, everything from Wi-Fi to the circuit boards in our appliances. This is a soup, and everything affects everything so none of us are exempt from influence, probably not even if inside a Faraday cage, but thoughts probably ignore the barriers that block EMF. Moreover, as we have seen, thoughts are actually both creative and powerful. The work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, Messages from Water, certainly points this direction.
Yesterday, I added a new section on music, mostly without commentary. The purpose is simply to share performances that are outstanding. For me, sound is inseparable from frequency, but this series of essays still has a little ways to go.
