The human body is a sophisticated multi-faceted antenna system composed of a crystalline matrix that is constantly transmitting and receiving (transcepting) all kinds of informed energies. The matrix is mainly made up of two special types of crystals known as piezo and liquid crystals. In the first part, we cover the function of piezoelectric crystals and how they convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa, creating piezoelectricity. In the second part, we will investigate the roll of liquid crystals in the matrix of the body.
Like piezocrystals, liquid crystals also detect mechanical stresses and change shape. These are the same type of crystals found on many flat screen computer monitors and televisions. The slimy substance that forms on the bottom of a soap dish also contains liquid crystals.
According to Professor Peter J. Collings, who wrote the de facto standard book on this topic titled Liquid Crystals: The Delicate Phase of Nature’s Matter, liquid crystals have become an important source of research since the 1960s. They are of particular interest to biologists because liquid crystals can also detect minute changes in electromagnetic radiation levels.
Cell membranes are liquid crystal structures. The configuration they form helps to segregate different parts of the cell from each other. Investigating cell membrane function can lead to a greater understanding of why some anesthetics work so well, even at low doses. A better understanding of how liquid crystals work in the body can also help treat conditions such as multiple sclerosis, sickle cell anemia, and even cancer. Because the arrangement of DNA on chromosomes also has a liquid crystal structure, geneticists are also investigating these unique components.
Collings also suggests that “the ability of biological organisms to form fluid structures of a certain rigidity in an aqueous environment is fundamental to the existence of life on this planet.” James L. Oschman, author of Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis, echoes this sentiment by stating that “crystalline arrangements are the rule, not the exception, in living systems.” He goes on to suggest that body and energy workers using quartz, shells, and stones, which are also crystalline materials, create resonant interactions with liquid crystal structures found in tissues. He states that “the crystalline components of the living matrix act as a coherent molecular antenna, radiating and receiving signals.”
The way to tune in to this antenna is by repeating practices like yoga, martial arts, or even playing an instrument. These disciplines also involve training, which is mindfulness to the rhythms of the breath and the heartbeat that bring the activity of the body and the brain waves to a synchronous and harmonious state. The dragging of the crystalline matrix in this way brings the whole being into a state of coherence. In other words, the whole being becomes one great resonant antenna.
Coherent states are also an important subject of study in quantum physics. Much attention is currently being paid to the properties and characteristics of a Bose-Einstein condensate. Instead of the molecules of a substance acting as individual entities, when cooled to the point of reaching a level of condensate, they suddenly act as a unit. Point particles acquire a wave nature, overlapping and interacting in such a way that they lose their individual identities.
Oschman goes a step further by saying that the training process is aided by phonons, which are a unit of measurement for the sonic vibratory energy that occurs in a crystal lattice structure. He specifically defines them as “electromechanical waves in a piezoelectric medium”. Phonons couple the body’s natural sounds, such as those produced by the heart and lungs, with the crystalline lattice structures of the body.
Phonons are to sound waves what photons are to light waves. Phonons are considered quantum harmonic oscillators, which means that they are spaced at regular, discrete intervals. Mathematically, they obey the same statistical relationships found in quantum coherent light systems, such as a laser.
Most beginner meditation practices focus on breathing and slowing the heart rate. Through sound, this pulls the activity of the body and brain into a synchronous state and begins to properly align the body’s antenna system to transcept higher frequencies by inducing a coherent state.
From our bones to our cells, the body’s crystalline matrix makes it a great antenna for the transmission and reception of many types of informed energies, including those that are filtered through subtle energy bodies. Ancient traditional Chinese medicine claims that this flow between the physical body and subtle energy bodies occurs through entry and exit points along the meridian system. Placing the body in certain ritualistic postures, such as those found in Tai Chi and yoga, helps to transcend these informed energies.
