INFOGRAPHIC #003: THE TAO OF PHYSICS

  

 

 

 

Infographic caption:

Tao of Physics (1975) and Invisible Rainbow (2016) - how ancient Eastern knowledge fits into a modern scientific paradigm.

Infographic explanation:

I highly recommend these two books as a starting point in understanding how energy and electromagneticism works from a modern scientific point of view and relates to biology, as well as sexuality.

The first book is an integrative classic: The Tao of Physics An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism (1975/2010). It began my own journey into exploring the nexus points of mysticism and rational affirmation.

Even better: Invisible Rainbow A Physicist's Introduction to the Science behind Classical Chinese Medicine (2016). It is my current favorite read and does a great job of connecting the ancient practices of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) to advances in modern science.

Author quotation: "The humble truth is that we are both blind and deaf to most of the world."

Invisible Rainbow gives experimental evidence of postulated energy acu-meridians (AKA nadi's), acu-points, orbits, auras, chakras, etc., that are part of the invisible electomagnetic spectrum and tell us how alternative medicine can use this knowledge via acupuncture, acupressure, qigong, ayurveda, etc., to unblock, balance and heal people. This is also essential information in Taoist and Tantric dual cultivation energy exchange practices. Not woo woo nonsense, despite being from a "Ghost World" of entities beyond our meager sensory abilities.

The materialist point of view that long dominated physics has slowly shifted to a more "spiritual" way to explain the Universe and allows for the existence of invisible forces (like gravity and other forms of energy - see footnote infographic), moving from old atomic concepts (ultimately indivisible particles) to thinking the "material" world is hard cores of energy and tight wave packets dispersed in vacuum fluctuation, where the field and the wave are the essence of everything. Meanwhile Western medicine, molecular biology and even psychology has tended to go in the materialist direction - saying the secret of life and consciousness may be a tangible particle or molecular construct.

Changlin Zhang, the Chinese physicist author of Invisible Rainbow challenges materialist viewpoints and makes an important distinction between Classical Chinese Medicine and the less effective Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that was created as a watered down "scientific" compromise during the Chinese Cultural Revolution in the mid 20th century.

Energy, vibration and even information is ethereal. Integrative or Complementary Medicine is now utilizing Energy Medicine that posits a healer can transmit healing energy into a patient. Vibrational Medicine claims to transfer various forms of frequencies of vibrations into the human body and its energy field to heal the patient. Cognitive Science is exploring how the mind and radiated thoughts and emotional content can be healing. Much is still unknown, so we call applications that aren't fully understood Magick.
