Vampires seem to be very popular nowadays. I thought that this little canter may interest people who have an unusual interest in blood, their own or other people’s.

On August 26th 2006 I posted here an essay entitled “We are all Orchestral Players.” In it, as usual, I connected dots from various research projects. I explained how Backster with his lie detector discovered that plants register human emotions, and are affected by them, and how Vogel discovered that distance had no diminishing effect on the ability of plants to receive thought energy from humans. The inverse square law so beloved of physicists did not apply. This work is summarized in the The Secret Lives of Plants by Tomkins and Bird.

I also went into the George Lawrence experiments in the Mojave Desert. These were written up in scientific journals, and showed clearly that the plants there are continually receiving extra terrestrial energy messages that seem to come from the region of The Great Bear constellation.

And I ended the article with the work done on mapping the human DNA in sounds instead of chemical symbols, how healthy cells produce music like the music of Bach and unhealthy cells produce music like heavy metal and rock. The riddle, “Does the tree falling in a forest with nobody around make a sound,” has been solved by measuring the effect on trees of the presence of human beings.

If you didn’t read it you may like to do that before reading this one, about the extensions that have been made public since.

Many people have been introduced to metaphysical materials, beautifully presented in the movies “What the Bleep do we Know? and “Down the Rabbit Hole.” Applying these quantum physics concepts of how the mind creates the universe we live in was explored from the practical point of view of how to attain mundane goals of health and prosperity in the DVD “The Secret.” You can pick up clips from it and The Bleep on the web site www.Universeofpower.com, which is dedicated to showing ordinary people how to do extraordinary things using the principles behind The Secret.

The movies are now on DVD and I recommend that anyone with the realization that
there’s more to life than Big Macs and Big Bank Balances gets a hold of these three, from the library, the video store or the Web. Each is an investment in spiritual progress that will pay off handsomely, at the very least in entertainment.

A very important new set of dots for us to take into account appeared when Masaru Emoto brought out his book Messages from Water He has amazing photographs of how water can be positively and negatively affected by thoughts, music and even words taped to a container of water. By applying the thoughts, music or words to distilled water and then photographing the crystals when the water is flash frozen he has given us a gallery of the constructive and destructive effects of subtle vibrations on what constitutes about 80% of our bodies and 70% of our planet.

The crystals of water from polluted rivers are as grotesque and ugly as those in the water that had the words Adolf Hitler taped to it. I wondered what would happen to water with the names of Cheney or G.W. Bush taped to the container.The pictures of the crystals of water taken before and after prayers had been uttered over it show an amazing response from randomity to the perfection of the hexagon pattern, which is the most potent of the ancient symbols used by magicians.

Witnessing a photo gallery of Emoto’s work was what brought about the transformation in the heroine in What the Bleep. A man said to her, “If thoughts can do that to water, think what can they do to us.”

Those readers who are into any kind of magick are encouraged by this Elder to check out the DVD’s and the book mentioned above. You will undoubtedly see ways in which to incorporate these data into your rituals, particularly those involved in drinking ritual fluids that are water based. Those who still go to the Latin Mass may have ideas now as to how and why they feel better after the Eucharist. A nod is as good as a wink to a blind gargoyle.

One very important fluid in your body that can be affected by thought is blood. We know from all our vampire movies how important blood is to vampires as a source of life. “The blood is the life,” says the scriptures, and so does Count Dracula. They agree.

But apart from the fact that the addiction to drinking human blood can be pretty dangerous in the current AIDs epidemic, and who wants to be immortal, with AIDS for ever, apart from that, we can take a positive lesson from the scriptural comment about the blood being the life.

Rural people in the know, who kill their own livestock, long ago realized that keeping the cow calm and peaceful, talking to it gently and stroking it, before shooting it, ensured that the meat tasted fine. Frightened animals with their blood saturated with adrenaline and waste material did not make for good tasting beef. Hunters know the taste difference between game that is run down and game that is shot while gently grazing. It’s the stress hormones.

Many of the health problems in this country where people are under constant stress are due to the hormones constantly pumped into a blood stream under stress, i.e. danger conditions. The body can only take so much stress before the weak link in the health chain snaps. Different people have different weak links and the descriptions of the conditions they encounter are labeled and called diseases. Then the body usually encounters an extra stress called medical treatment. Often it's the last straw and the body dies. The doctor blames the disease.

How does the blood approximate water in being affected by thought? Well the effect is not identical because blood is a constantly varying mixture of components so it doesn’t crystallize like water.Remember that, there is no such thing as pure blood because blood is a mixture. But it is certainly affected in ways that resemble the Backster experiments on plants.

In the case that I read about, the research was being done under the auspices of Deepak Chopra. The effect on various subtle stimuli on human blood was being investigated. The researchers were using their own blood and linking it up to sensitive equipment.

One researcher sat down to pass the time away reading a magazine while the experiments were continuing in the background, some distance away. He found in the magazine a picture of Bo Derek in all her exposed glory and definitely had a reaction to it, as many men have done. When the graphs were checked he realized that the sudden spike in a component of the graph dedicated to his blood coincided with his visceral reaction to the picture of Bo Derek.

Now remember that the blood was not even in his body, but even outside there was a measurable effect in the electrical configuration of his blood. Further experiments showed, that as in the Backster effect, distance made no difference. I don’t suppose they all involved photos of Bo Derek. The blood inside and outside the body reacted instantly, no matter what the distance between the two sources.

Just as in Quantum physics, once two particles are connected, what happens to one happens to the other, even if they are galaxies apart. This is an example of a signal going much faster than light. Maybe you could think now about some of the blood transfusions you have had, and the thoughts that were transferred into you with the helpful blood plasma.

In Russian space communication experiments it was found that the telepathy messages passed instantly to the targets, whereas there was a slight lag in the radio signal which can only move at the speed of light.

Put these dots together in your hopper and see how you do or can create a positive or negative effect on your own blood, with your usual thought patterns. One of the reasons a positive mental attitude has helped so many people may be explained by one of the dots in this little essay. Experiment. If thoughts can do that to water, think what they can do to you. Know Thyself and Happy Trails.
