Unfortunately,signalsmaybemisinterpreted;forexample,

a human smile is seen as aggressive behaviour by

chimpanzees. The evolution of language in the human

species has greatly improved the sensorial means of

communication, but this does not necessarily mean an

improvement in understanding each other. Our genetic

and other practices to find peace and well-being isincreasing.At the same time,manypeople are sceptical

about the spiritual phenomena behind these practices.

They cite lack of “scientific proof”, dismissing the

Chapter one: About energy and matter

What are we, in a few words?

We are partly materialised energy. To

understand what this means, I have to

explain what I mean by the words

“energy”and“material”.

Energy makes things happen. Ourbody, the computer, the TV and the

telephone all need energy to work.

Energy gives us light in the dark and

warmthinthecold.Ouruniversestartedwithenergy;this

energyisstilleverywherearoundus.

Materialisthestuffwecantouchandsee.Ourbody,the

computer,theTVandthetelephoneareallmadeofsome

material that has substance, weight and volume. The

universe is also full of material: the stars, the sun, the

moonand,ofcourse,theearth.

Partly means that we are not only a physical (material)

being, but also an energetic entity. “Partlymaterialised”

implies thatwewere once only energy,but that in time,

ourenergystartedaprocessofbecomingphysical.Our

body came into being, butwe nevermaterialised allour

energy. Human beings are partly spiritual and partly

substance.



11

Thismaterialandnon-materialunityconstitutesour“self”.

Sinceweknowwhatourmatter,ourbody,feelsandlooks

like, it is good to get first a better understanding about

variousaspectsof“energy”.

Can we perceive energy with our five senses?

Whenawoodfireismade,wesee

the flames, we feel the heat, we

smelltheburntwood,wehearthe

cracklingsound,andwecantaste

the effect of the fire when it has

beenusedtobarbequeapieceof

meat. We saw materialised

energy in the form of wood and,

during the burning, we saw that

thewoodwasagain(partly)dematerialisedintothe form

ofenergy(someashremained).

Energy is felt when we want to jump over a wall: the

energyintheformofgravityhastobeovercome.Thanks

togravity,wecanwalkbutwecannotfly,andpeopleontheothersideoftheearthdon’tfallintospace.

Energychangesiceintowaterandwaterintosteam.We

can feel ice as a solid substance and water as liquid.

12

You may see it againwhen it materialises anew in the

formofcloudsinthesky.

What is the source, the origin, of energy?

Letusstartwithwind.A

windmill transforms air

moving in a certain

direction into the

rotatingmovement of a

fixedaxis. This rotation

canbeusedtoproduce

a certain form of energy such as electricity (which is an

importantsourceofenergyinourdailylife).

So far, so good,butwhy does theairmove;what is theoriginofthewind?Whenwemadeourfire,weobserved

thattheairabovetheburningwoodvibratedandmoved

upwards(thesmokemovedupinerraticways).

When thesunshinesuponacertain regionof theearth,

thisregionwarmsup.Whentheregionisadesert(ora

sandybeach),wecanseetheairvibratingwhenwelookoverthesurface.Asthesurfaceheatsup,theairaboveit

becomeslighterthanitwasbeforetheheatingstarted.

Becoming lighter means that the matter becomes less

attracted by the gravity force and thus, the (air-) mass

moves up towards the sky. However, because the

remaining air becomes “thinner”, cold air from other



13

regionsmovesintofillthespaceleftbytheairthatmoved

up.

This movement of air from colder to warmer regions iscalled“wind”.Apparently,thesourceororiginofthewind

is the energy of the sun, but how did the sun get this

energy?

This question cannot really be answered by scientists.

Theultimateoriginofenergyinouruniverseisnotknown.

All we know is that most probably, there has been an

explosion of some kind, an event that we call “the Big

Bang”.

What is the nature of energy?

Wecandepictenergyaswaves.Throwastonein

a pond (energy is

needed to do that) and

watch how the water

around the stone forms

wavesthatgoinall directionsandcontinue theircourseforquiteadistance(thekineticandgravitationalenergyof

Thestonemovesthewater,pushingitawayandupwards,

because the resistance of theair is less than that of the

surrounding water. The gravity force pulls the moved

watermoleculesbackwithmoreorlessthesameenergy



14

thatpushedthemupwards,resultinginadipinthewater

surface. This displaced water in its turn pushes the

neighbouringwaterupandawavepatternemerges.

Inshort,themass(m)ofthestonewastransformedinto

an energy (E) wave visible on the surface (remember

Einstein’s equation E=mc2). According to quantum

mechanics,particlesarealsodematerialisedintoawave

form of energy (sometimes they are called “wavicles”).

Changing its appearance from particle to wave may beinfluenced by an observer or the energy sent by an

observer;Iwillcomebacktothislater.

Thewave nature of energy is well known;we speak of

soundwaves, light waves, heat waves. Waves can be

verydifferentinformandtheirbase(carrierfield),shape

and frequency determine if and howwe perceive them.

An example of differences in electromagnetic wave

frequenciesisgivenbelow.



15

What is the ultimate source of energy?

We can trace the origin of

energyandthedevelopmentof

the earth andof our existence

back to a single event called

“theBigBang”.Physicistshave

discoveredthatonce,longago,

anexplosionoccurredthat led toamanyconsequences.

It was the creation of our universe. Unfortunately (or

fortunately?),wedonotknowwhatcausedtheexplosion

orwheretheenergybeforetheBigBangcamefrom.Itis

not known who or what determined the “celestial

harmony”,thecyclicalrhythmsoftheuniverse.

After coming into existence, the

universe started to expand and it

continues to do so. We can visualise

thisbyblowingbubblesusingadropof

detergentinsomewaterandaframe.A

tinydropofsomethingexpands,shows

beautiful colours on the surface and

starts to float in theair. Theenergyof

blowingcreatestheexistenceofabubbleinwhichourair

isomnipresent.

The last sentence is importantbecausewe alsohave to

realise that the energy that started the universe is still

omnipresent; “the zero-point field” is an expression that



16

referstothisphenomenon.Theanalogywithourbubble

stops here. The bubble started with detergent (and a

frame) as material that was affected by energy. Our

universe startedwithoutmaterial; therewasonlyenergy

(noframethatweknowof)inanintenselyhotspot.

As the universe expanded, the heat diminishedand very

small particles emerged (like the clouds emerge from

moisturecoolingdown).Manyofthesefirstparticleshave

beenidentified;theexperimentscarriedoutbytheCERNinGenevaaredesignedtofindevenmore.Theseprimal

particlesdevelopedintomorecommonlyknownprotons,

electrons,atomsandmoleculesastheuniverseexpanded

furtherandcooleddown.

It is important to know that, during thematerialisationof

the original energy, part of it continued to be “in”, or

“boundto”,thematerial,aswillbeexplainedlater.

How did the earth come into existence?

The primal matter contained energy (positive and

negative) and a continuous interplay of attraction andrepulsion developed. Moreover, energy continued to

materialise; more andmore matter filled our expanding

universe-bubble.Thismeantthatmoreandmoreparticles

clumped together, forming larger, heavier and cooler

matter.



17

I can describe what

happenednextonlyin

very basic terms. A

positive electric

charge attracts

negative electric

charge in the form of

anelectron.Asimple

atomcalledhydrogen (H) isbuiltofoneprotonandone

electron.Duringthetimewearediscussing,moreprotons

entered the nucleus of atoms and consequently, more

electronswere bound. Theatomsbecame heavier and

bigger(leadisagoodexample)andstartedtocombineto

formmolecules. Thebest known iswater, consisting of

two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen; i.e., H2O (O2

andH2Oarebothessentialforlife).

The stars, planets, suns and whatever we see in our

galaxyaregiantclumpsofenergyandmatter(molecules)

ofdifferenttemperaturesandage.Theyallinfluenceeach

other.Forexample,wefeelthewarmthofthesunandour

seas react to themoonwithwhatwe call high and lowtide.

Our earth is still hot and fluid inside; the outside has

cooled down to such an extent that thewater does not

completely evaporate or freeze. There is just enough

oxygen forus humanbeings to thrive. Or is it theother

wayaround?Didwecomeintoexistenceonthisplanet



18

because of the conditions that developed during earth’s

existence?

Regardless of the answer to this question, what isimportant is to realise that we area follow-up of a long

historyofdevelopment;westartedasprimalenergyand

primalmattertodevelopintowhatwearenow.

What is the importance of the universal energy?

Energyisaforceinmanymovements;itcanmovethings

and itmovesus.Physicistsnow recognise several forms

of energy: gravity, strong and weak nuclear forces and

electro-magneticforces.Anotherformofenergywaswell-

knowntoourwiseancestorsand iscommonknowledge

to our present day bio-energetic healers, shamans andother people who have found wisdom that is not fully

basedonmodernscience.Thisenergyisomnipresentin

theuniverse;itprovokeswhatscientistscallthezero-point

fieldanditsnatureisnotyetfullyunderstood;itisnotan

electro-magneticforce.

Thisenergy(theChinesecallitCh’í)isveryimportanttousand I will refer to it as “the Field”. This energy is

everywhere; it is in us andweuse it. It is probably the

basisofthemanyofthephenomenamentionedbelow.

Science based on quantummechanics teaches us that

thesmallestparticles“disintegrate”,“fallapart”,and“jump

back”intoenergyagain(theword“wavicles”reflectthis).



19

This dematerialisation happens unpredictably, and the

energymayagainpopupasmaterialatanotherplace.An

observermay influence this; itsenergy is used to trigger

the change. Observers may be human beings or

measurementinstruments,forexample.

The basic matter of our body also dematerialises and

materialisescontinuously.Normally,wearenotawareof

this;forexample,whenwatchingafilmonTV,wedonot

realisethatwearelookingataseriesofrapidlyprojectedpictures instead of continuous (uninterrupted)

movements.

Another important phenomenon discovered by quantum

physicists is thenon-localityprinciple. When two similar

moleculesare separated, andone is brought to another

lab,theyremain “incontact”.Whenachangeismadeto

oneofthemolecules,exactlythesamechangeoccursin

theotherone,atexactlythesametime!Themolecules

remained in the same field, the zero-point field.

Experiments with people also demonstrated that

instantaneous changes in brain waves occurred in one

person when similar changeswere triggered in another

person,bothwellisolatedfromeachothertopreventthe

transferofthesignalviaelectro-magneticwaves.

What has been described in this chapter is based on

present day science and can be checked using the

Internetorrecentlypublishedbooks

Chapter two:About cells

What became of the molecules?

Atoms started to form complexes called molecules.

Molecules also started to organise and form complex

substances. They became water, air, rocks. Stars and

planets, including the earth, are all organised primal

energyandmatter.

Primal particles and themolecules formed by them are

thebasisofeverythingweknowthathassomesubstance,

evenifwedonotsee,feel,smellortasteit.

Let us take the example of steam

(water,moisture)intheair.Mostofit

wedon’tsee,butwhenthemoisture

formsclouds,weareawareofitand

see it. When the clouds become

denseranditstartsraining,weevenfeelit!

DuringthemanyyearsfollowingtheBigBang,molecules

such as carbohydrates (fuel and bread contain a lot of

them),proteins(meat,fish,eggs)andfat(toowellknown

tomanypeople!)wereformed.Thesefamiliarsubstances

also became organised and this resulted in the

developmentofthefirstcells.

Viruses, bacteria, algae, plants, animals and human

beings are all cells or collections of cells. At a certain



21

moment in the long history of theearth, something very

exciting became apparent: certain cells started to

reproduce!

Someoftheearliestlivingcells(organisms)arewhatwe

call bacteria. Bacteria are versatile and ingenious cells

who lived(andcanstill live)underveryharshconditions.

To live and multiply, they need energy in one form or

another. They take energy stored in whatever they

consume for their survival, as well as in the form oftemperatureorsunshine.

What happened to the first living cells?

Thefirstbacteriaplayedanimportantroleinshapingour

planet,usingwhatevermaterialandenergywasavailableto produce other materials, particularly organic matter.

Eventoday,theyplaythisroleandareveryusefulforour

survival;theyliveinabundanceinourintestinesandhelp

usdigestourfood.

Algae in particular have been key players in the

development of our climate. They were (and still are)capableofusingtheenergyofthesuntoproduceproteins

and,ofutmost importance,oxygen. Withoutoxygen,we

wouldsimplynotexistinbodiessuchaswehavetoday!

Another reason for our existence is that the first cells

started to form “colonies”; they clumped together,

diversifiedanddivided theirskills. For example, cellson



22

the outside of a colony started to

make protective material to

enhance their collective survival.

Cellsunderneathstartedtomakea

kind of glue to fix the colony to a

surface (brushing our teeth is a

healthyhabit!).

Our body is an extreme form of organised cells. Bone

cellsgiveusthestructure,andmusclecellsthestrength,tomove.Bloodcellsprovidethemuscleswithnecessary

energy and oxygen. Blood vessels transport the blood

cells throughourbody thanks to thecollectivepumping

action of our heart cells. The blood cells can get the

oxygenthankstotheparticularstructureofourlungcells,

and theenergy in thenutrients thanks to the function ofthecellsinourintestines.

Of particular importance are our nerve cells, mostly

locatedourbrains,but foundthroughoutthebodywhere

they command many of the other cells. Some other

functionsofthenervecellswillbediscussedlater.

To finish this description of the incredible diversification

andspecialisationofcells,letmeremindyouthatallliving

cells, whatever their function, still have a protective and

regulatorymembrane(skin)astheirouterboundary.

Beforewe go further, let’s ponder the followingquestion

for amoment: Dowe call living cells such as bacteria



23

(micro-) organisms because they are organised, or did

welearnwhatorganisingmeansbylookingatnature?

Does energy play a role in our development?

Ihaveexplainedthatatacertaintimeafterthe“BigBang”,

when the sun and the earth had come into existence,

(with atoms and molecules as building blocks), cells

startedtoorganisethemselves.Accordingtomyversion

ofthecreationoftheworld,“themselves”meansthatthey

tookitintheirown“hands”.Therewasnokidwhostarted

tobuildbodieswithlivingLegoblocks.Butwhat(orwho)

startedtheorganisation?

Darwin would tell us that by chance, two, three, four or

morecellswereclumpedtogetherandthatsuchaclumpwasbetterequippedtosurvive.Survival,aswewillsee,is

aprimarydriveroflife.Thishascertainlyplayedarole,but

Iwanttogoonestepfurther.

To survive, a cell needs external

energy in the form of nutrients and,

for instance, sun rays. However,energyisalsopartandparcelofthe

makeup of a cell (E=mc2,

remember?).Animportantaspectofthisinherentenergy

is that it facilitates storage of information, as will be

discussedlater.



24

Thiscapabilityofstoringinformationmakesitreasonable

toacceptthattheknowledgeobtainedduringthelifeofa

cellispassedontoitsdescendants(orfellows,aswewill

see later). Forming clumps, organising the tasks in a

colony of cells, and so on, appeared to be important

knowledgeinthestruggleforlife.

Chapter three: About memory and its use

What is memory?

Memoryisanearlyfunctionoflife.Theouter“skin”ofa

cell, the membrane, has openings (pores) that can be

opened and closed. They will open when a nutrient or

waterhastobetakenupbythecell;theywillcloseagainst

poisonoussubstances.Thecellhasdevelopedamemory

that,whenconsulted,“tells”thecelltoopentheporesand

closethemagain,ortokeepthemclosed.Whena“good”

element comes into contact with the pore, thememory

sendsasignal:“Irecognisethiselement;youcanletitin.”

Memory is stored information, and information is an

arrangementof“on”and“off”states.Therearemanyways

of storing information but they all boil down to

combinations of “positive” and “negative” (in electrical

systems),“1”and“0”(incomputer language),“black”and

“white”(inimages).



25

To give an example of how we

recogniseapicture,wehavetostart

withagrid,amatrix,afieldofsquares

(thereare120inthepicture!).

Signals are sent to this grid, and a

fewsquares“lightup”.

The picture of white dots in a dark

Still, we do not see something that

particularly when we reverse the

26

cellslearnedtheirparticularskillsduringthelongperiodof

specialisation.Ourbraincellsareparticularlyspecialised

inmemorisingandrecognising.

When lookingat the smileyabove, anelectricalsignal is

sent from our eyes to our brain. In our brain, a

complicated seriesofreactionsare triggeredandoneof

theresultsisthatapictureofwhatwesawisstored.This

storageisdonebyswitchingbraincells(neurons)inour

neural network “on” or “off”, creating an image as doneabove.

How is information transmitted?

Todealwiththisquestion,Ihavetogobacktothesubject

ofwaves.Whenyouthrowapebbleinapond,awaveinthe formof a rippleappearson thesurface. Your friend

standing on the other side of the pond sees the ripple

Bytheway,whenasecondstoneisthrownintothewater,

the waves produced by this stone form “interference

patterns”withthoseofthefirststone.Whenthesepatterns

are analysed, we can reconstruct the events leading to



27

them; the events are

“memorised”.

Interference patterns

are the phenomena

behind the memory

holograms;moreaboutthislater.

Thewaterandtheairintheseexampleswerethe carriers

theinformationemittedinoneformoranotherbyallliving

cells.

Scientifically, there are still a number of questions

concerning this energy to be answered,butpeoplewho

have well-developed extra-sensory perception, such as

shamans, mediums and bio-energetic healers,

successfullyusetheinformationstoredintheField.

Telepathyhasbeenstudiedextensively. Itisbeyondany

doubt that this phenomenon exists. People can

communicate messages and pictures without mobile

telephones or other modern means of communication.

Our brain waves are picked up by others, particularly

whenweare“intune”.

Everyone knows that we have to look for a specific

wavelength when we want to receive music from our

favouriteradiostation.Whatnoteveryonerealisesisthat



28

we also are permanently

emitting all kind of waves

containing information. We just

have to look at an Electro-

Encephalogram (EEG) to see

this. Electrodes fixed on the

outside of our skull receive

electrical impulsesmadeby the

neuronsinourbrainandthesesignalsaredepictedona

piece of paper or a screen. These (and other?) brain

wavesgoinalldirectionsandgoveryfar!

ThewavesweproducedonotjustvanishintheField;they

are stored in a kind of collectivememory. Its existence

has been scientifically demonstrated, usingexperimental

animals. What we call “instinct” is behaviour using thiscollective memory. Learned behaviour can be passed

overtobeingsviaasharedknowledgebase.

Can we find an analogy with computer informatics?

Nowadays, we are totally accustomed to usingcomputers, smart phones and the like to obtain and

exchangeinformation.Some35yearsago,thiswasstill

moresciencefictionthanreality.Letmetrytofindsome

analogies between the development of computer

technologyandthearchitectureofourbeing.Thismakes



29

it, perhaps, easier for some of us to realise that we are

livinginacollective,global,“we-world”.

Let us startwith thehardware. Our computer is like ourbrain.Itneedsenergytoworkandallkindsofcircuitsare

embedded in its interior. To seewhat is cooking in its

interior,ascreenisattachedtothecomputer.Ourbrain

projects virtual images, which can be very explicit and

very lively; we have no problem with reading and

watchingthem.

The computer needs an operating

system, comparable to our basic

limbicneuralsystem(theoldestpart

of our brain). Software such as

Windows or Linux is installed to

create an interfacebetweenusand

themachine.Thefirstthreeyearsof

ourlife,wealsoareprogrammedbyourparentsandour

ownexperiencestointerfacewithourenvironment.

Additionalsoftwareprogrammescanbeinstalledtomake

the computer even more useful to us, making it our

personalcomputer.Duringthesecondperiodoflife,we

also add our own preferences to our being, becoming

personswithcertainspecificcharacteristics.

To operate a computer, a keyboard is needed and a

mousecanbeadded.Withthekeyboard,weformulatea

question,whichistranslatedintoabinarylanguagebythe



30

installed software. This can be compared with the

“rational”partofourbrain(thepre-frontalcortex).

Our computer is part of a global network thanks to theInternet, but it has also its private memory. Our body

clearly has its private memory, but it can also tap the

collectivememoryinthesamewayasisdonewithsearch

engines such as Google and Bing. We have only to

connectwiththeFieldandfindtherightkeywords(tobe

honest,connectingisnotthateasyformanyofus).

Ourcomputercanbepartofawirelessnetworkathome.

We canshare informationwith our familymembersand

ask them questions even if they are in other rooms. Is

telepathy not comparable to this? Experiments have

confirmed that telepathy between intimates is not that

uncommon and easier than between less emotionally-

linkedpeople.

“Healingatdistance”ispracticedbybio-energetichealers;

to have effect, thepatientmust accept that thehealer is

helpinghimorher. Hereagain,wehaveaniceanalogy

with computer informatics. Specific software allows

remote assistance. A helpdesk somewhere can fix a

problemwithyourcomputerbyhavingaccesstoit.The

helper asks whether you allow him to transfer your

computervirtuallytohisdesk.Whenyouaccept,yousee

thecursermoving, all kindsof programmes appear and

(you hope), after some time the problem is solved! Of



31

course, you thank him and close the programme that

allowedhimtoenteryourcomputer.

The collective memorymentioned before can be

compared with Wikipedia, and

there are certainly more

analogiestobefound.However,

theessenceofthisexercisewas

to demonstrate that the virtualworldcreatedbycomputersand

global networking is not that

different from what nature has

provided to us. There is an old

saying,“asabovesobelow”,whichreflectsthis.Whenwe

seetheFieldas“above”andourworldas“below”,wecanperhapsbettergraspsomeofthephenomenadealtwith

Chapter four: About our body

How is our physical body created?

After some (difficult to imagine, for me at least) basic

science,let’sturntothebasicsofourselves.Howdidwe

developwhentheDNAintheeggofthemotherandthe

DNA in the sperm of the father came together?

Fortunately, the DNAs are complementary; together they



32

contain all the genetic material

pertinent to the construction of our

cells.DNAisaverycomplexmolecule;

it has its own energetic part and is

specialised in making all kinds of

proteins, the main substance of our

body.

The egg startsmaking stem cells soon after fertilisation.

Thephenomenonofreincarnationisbackedupbymany

cases; histories of children remembering past lives and

providing evidence of the correctness of their



33

recollections. Reincarnation is,

moreover, inherent in the religions of

old civilisations, Eastern, and

increasinglyinWesternthinking.

When it was time for a reincarnation,

the “higher-self” looked for the best

conditions to experiencewhat he/she

wanted to experience and learn, and

(s)he merged with the energy of theembryoofchoice.Thehigher-self”hasalltheknowledge

remains incontactwithourenergeticorigin,our “higher-

How are we involved in creating our physical body?

This is alsowhat happenswhenwe buildour individual

body a bit differently from the general blueprint. The

general information concerning how a human being is

built and functionscomes from theenergeticpart of the

genes inherited from the parents and the collectivememory. Furthermore, babies are from conception

exposed to themagnetic fields of earth,moon, sunand

However, it goes without saying that our spiritual,

reincarnating self has a say in our physical andmental

development. We start our reincarnationwith a certain

purpose;afamousesotericmessageis:“createyourown

What should we know about our evolution?

When the first cells became alive, they were already

carrying geneticmaterial; viruses are an example. This

geneticmaterialgotinformationonhowtoreproduce;to

makecellslikeitself.Thiswasacomfortablesituation;it

increased the likelihood of a sustainable form of life.However, sometimes something in the information

changed(e.g.,duetoenvironmentalinfluencesorcosmic

built into the newly developing cell. Note that modern

epigenetics shows that changes in genetic expressions

When thischange turnedout tobeasurvival-enhancing

factor,itbecamepartandparcelofthenewlineofcells.

Whentheenvironmentaroundbacteriabecamedryer,the

more low-moisture resistant bacteria survived and

multiplied, others succumbed. In this way, as Darwin



36

explained, all living beings developed their present form

duringthemillionsyearsofevolution.

This can still be seen in thedevelopmentofhumanembryos.Inour

I like to add here that “forms of life” are mentioned as

survivorsandnot“bestfittedindividuals”.The“strugglefor

life and survival of the fittest” is not a law for individual

beings. This leads to greed, jealousy and misuse of

power.Theconsequencesofthesenegativeenergiescan

Altruistic behaviour has been studied extensively in

animals as well as in man. The results are convincing:

actively participating in social behaviour, helping others,

acting in the interest of the group are all important to

survival.

Chapter five: About our ”self” and our behaviour

Are certain we-feelings built-in?

Cells in our body also function better

together; a single muscle cell will not

succeed in moving a finger! However,

even when a whole bundle of muscle

cells are ready to move the finger, they

still need nerve cells to trigger them into action. To

continue functioning, they need blood cells to provide

themwithenergy.Theneedtocollaborateisinherentin

This necessity for working together is also apparent in

The urge to belong to a group is another trait of the

human species. It is a very important one for the

developmentof a “we-world”. Unfortunately, itmayalso

consequences have been disastrous throughout our

Altruism,puttingtheselfasideinhelpingtheother,isalso

deeply engrained inhuman and evenanimal behaviour,

as scientific research has shown. Brain scans have

demonstratedthathelpinggivesusa“helpershigh”,and



39

that giving causes the same reaction in our brain as

receiving.

As a last human trait (it is even apparent in certainanimals),Iwanttomentionfairness.Wehavenoproblem

hunters in Indonesia have a

fairness.Formanygenerations,

they have been huntingwhales

together; it comes totallynaturally to them to divide the

catch in a fair way. Scientists

conducting behavioural studies

around the world found the

highest scores for fairness in

thesepeople!

How do we interact?

When we meet someone new, we are quick in our

reaction:he/sheissympathetic,unsympatheticorneutral.

We use our normal sensory perceptions to form our



40

impression,which isbasedon the person’s looks, smell,

talk and behaviour. However, many more signals are

received that influence our “judgement”. He/she sends

vibrations/waves thatmay ormay not resonate with us,

“primitive” judgements, ourmemory is enlarged andwe

become more sophisticated in our appreciation of

someone.



41

An important player in human interactions is the

phenomenon of resonance. Most humans have

experienced at least once the very emotional reaction

towards someone called “falling in love”. It is an

irresistible, overwhelmingemotion;ournormal reasoning

(left brain action) has been outwitted, someone stirs

something deep inside you, you resonate to something

sent by the other person.

The physical phenomenon

of resonance iswell-known

and understood. When a

tuning fork is hit, another

one starts to vibrate in

response when it has the

samepitch.Whenyoupluckastringonaviolinorguitar,

it starts to vibrate. This may be picked up by another

string,whichstartstovibrateaswell. Itmayproducethe

sametoneoroneanoctavehigherorlower.Resonance

can be a very strong force: singing a certain tonemay

causeawineglasstoexplode(andpeoplemay“losetheir

Resonancedoes notonlyplay a role in love affairs, less

We are indeed very receptive to

to each other and, for instance, laughing and crying

produce vibrations that easily touch emotional strings in

others.

Resonance is a very important attribute for being inharmonywithnatureandourenvironment, includingour

fellow human beings. It facilitates sharing experiences,

actingtogether,being“intune”and“insynchrony”.Being

“on the same wavelength” with others greatly helps in

creatinga“we-world”.

What is “good” behaviour?

Aschildren,wearetaughtwhatisgood,andwhatisbad

behaviour. This is basedon thevaluesacceptedby the

parentsandotherpeopleinthedirectenvironmentofthe

parents proud that their

offspring are well

“programming” has been

mentioned at several

phenomenon;upbringingisoftenmentionedincourt!

However, forgetting cultural, religious and other values,

asanimportantdriverofourexistenceonearth,the“we-

When we see the purpose of our being on earth as

45

What is the role of competition?

Thebestequippedandadaptedgroupofcells,animalsor

human beings in a certain environment has the best

chance ofsurvival. Thebest diversified, specialised and

organised group has certain advantages over other

groups.Withinagroup,therewillalwaysbesomecells,

animals or human beings who have, within their

Competitionbetweengroups is,unfortunately, something

more natural than competition between individuals.

When, during our development as homo sapiens, food

andshelterwerearoundinabundance,wehadnoneed

to compete or make war with others. Being on good

terms with other groups meant that cross breeding(marriage between tribes) was possible, preventing in-

breeding(whichmay lead togeneticallybasedabortion,

malformationanddisease).

However, our successful development caused

Regardless of this development, I consider that we are

meant to explore the various possibilities that life offers

and to select the best ones as models for our

development. As individuals,wearemeant toact in the

After leaving the womb, certain reflexes are fully

These reflexes are essential for

our survival; they areas oldasthe development of the

mammal species. The five

senses are becoming

operational; they are the tools

usedtoconnectwiththe“outof

48

howtobehave!

Ourrightbrainreceivesallkindsofinformation,butourleft

brain needs to analyse its meaning, determine itssignificance and, (in close collaboration with the right

half), decidewhetheraction needs to be taken. Our left

brain is essential for creating our reality: the outer

boundariesofourbody,themeaningofasmile,andlater,

themeaningofwords,objects,theartofusingourhands

Asababyandduringour first threeyears,we learnalot

fromourparentsandotherpeoplearoundus,particularly

how to behave in the real worldof our tribe. We learn

manythingsourselvesbytrialanderror,butwealsolearn

alotfromour“higherself”andfromspiritualentitiesthat

are in contactwith us. In our early years, wemayalso

knowthingsthatwehavelearnedinearlierreincarnations.

Moreover,thechannels

to our “collective

memory” are still wide

openbut,unfortunately,

we lose most of the

channelling abilities

during the first seven

years.

Muchofouradultbehaviourandmanyofourvaluesresult

from what happens in the early years of life. We are

“programmed”, so to speak, by our parents and their



49

environment. We had the possibility to make certain

decisions ourselves, but often there were not many

alternative behaviours to choose from; choices were

madeforus.

During the revolution that comeswith adolescence (the

periodbetween14and21yearsofage),weprovokeand

test what we have learned or are learning. We make

opportunities to “create our own reality”. When we are

grownup,wemoreorlessaccepttobehavesociallyinamannerthatisacceptabletoourtribebutthatisalso,as

Unfortunately, though we are unconsciously

valuesandthe“rulesofthegame”theytaughtusmaynot

be appropriate any more, or not really in line with our

characterorthechoiceswemake.Onceweareawareof

this unconscious steering, we can “rewrite” our

programme.

In this respect, it is very important to

know that nowadays, many so-called

indigochildrenarebeing(orhavebeen)

advanced than many of their parents

and see the world differently. Their

inborn rules of the game may be

different from those learned from, and

However, this behaviourmaynotbe thebest forus and

Fortunately,therearemanypossibilitiestolivealifeinthe

helpers(God,AllThatIs,angels)andwehavethepower

to change things. The programmed competitive

behaviour,the“us”against“them”,canbechanged,thus

helping to create amore successful (and necessary for

oursurvival)“we-world”.

What is our “dream world?”

In dream worlds, we have experiences that are not

necessarilyobtainedthroughour fivesenses. Theymay

occurduringoursleep,orinmomentsofdeeprelaxationor meditation when we are in a state of altered

consciousness. In our dream worlds, we may be in

familiar or un-familiar settings; known people or various

types of spiritual beings may be encountered;

premonitions andothermessagesmaybe received that

52

What is our consciousness?

Being conscious of something means being aware of

something; realising that something “is there”. We mayreflectonwhattodowithit,whethertoreacttoitand,if

yes, what kind of action it should be. The brain, and

particularlytheleftside,isthemainactorinthisprocess.

Weareconstantlybombardedwithallkindsofinformation

in the form of waves of energy. Most of the time, the

information waves are received and registered onlysubconsciously;wedonotpayattentiontothemandthey

donotenterourconsciousness.

Sounds and pictures aremerely noise

andblurreddotsandlines,colouredor

not,untilwerealisethatwehearmusic

or see a book on a table. Through

focussing, paying attention to it, we

make something real and meaningful.

When something enters our consciousness, it is like a

radiotuningintoacertainstation,transformingnoiseinto

musicortalk.

The human being is capable of self-reflection, abstract

thinkingandcreativethinking.Wedothisconsciously;our

mind is at work. Thoughts may come from different

sources; we may read, hear or see something that

provokes a reaction in our brain and we may want to

“makeupourmind”aboutit.Indreams,allkindsofthings

happenandthoughtsoccurthatremainunconscious.Itis



53

only afterawakening thatwemay remembersomething

and start thinking consciously about it. Many scientists

admitthattheirdiscoverywasinitiatedbysomethingthat

entered their mind while waking up. Where did the

“eureka”ideaoriginate?Coulditbethegoodworkofthe

subconscious energies, with or without the use of the

collectivememoryandassistancefromspiritualhelpers?I

leaveittoyoutomakeupyourmind.

For me, if one accepts that living in a “we-world” is animportantconcept, it isessential torealise that thoughts,

feelings and actions arepartlyoriginating in a collective

memory.Thiscommondatabasecanbecomparedwith

Wikipedia,theweb-encyclopaedia,writtenbyallandused

by all. When a global set of rules and common

knowledgebecomesthebasisofourbehaviour,chancesofsurvivalinaturbulentenvironmentwillincrease.

Do we always act consciously?

Asmentionedabove,beingconsciousmeansthatweare

aware of what we perceive and what we think. Weperceivealotwithourfivesenses,butarenotconscious

of most of it. We also have a continuous stream of

thoughts and emotions, but many are filtered out, an

importantroleoftheleftbrainhalf,whenwearefocussing

on something. If youwant proof of this, put aside your

thoughtsofthemomentandtrytothinkofnothing!



54

However,whensomethingentersourconsciousness,we

know it and memorise it for later use (or not). But, as

mentioned before, all of that information is not handled

consciously; is stored subconsciously in a kind of data

base.Thisdatabaseislinkedto,orpartof,thecollective

memory in the Field. Because of all the information

subconsciously available to us and the rapidity of its

transfer in this energy field, we have a first reaction to

something,a“gutfeeling”,withoutthinkingaboutit.When

asked why it was said or done (or not), we rationalise

(later) aprior subconscious reaction! Note that the first

reactions are often the best; the conscious, left brain

reasoningisoftencolouredbyitsengrainedprogrammes,

its preconceptions spoon-fed during the early period of

life.

The heart is also involved in our actions and reactions.

Aboutsixtypercentof thecells inourheart areneurons,

thesame cellsas in our brain. Therearemany studies

concerning behaviour changes after receiving a donor

heartthatofferconvincingevidencethatwealso“feeland

The heart also participates in the decision making

process. Who has not had the experience of doingsomething with our heart, putting our reasoning on the

sidetrack?Theroleoftheheartinourbehaviourisclearly

Let me finish with the remark that “opening our heart”

playsanimportantroleincreatinga“we-world”.

Chapter six: About our “self” and “higher-self”

What is reincarnation?

Literally,itmeansbecomingmeatagain.Itreflectswhat

was said at the beginning of this booklet: we are partly

materialisedenergy. Our “higher-self” is pure energy; its

origingoesbacktotheenergyreleasedattheBigBang.

Stars, planets, rocks, plants, animals and man are all

manifestations of partly materialised primal energy. The

createdmaterialisnoteternal,itdecomposesintime,but

theenergyremains.

Thematerial is “real” in the earthly realm; it follows the

physical lawsdiscoveredbyourscientists. Animportant

oneisthelawofconservationofenergy. Itstatesthatthe

total amount ofenergy in a system (our universe, for

example)remains constant (is conserved) over time.



56

Thus, energies produced and

is not extinguished; it is used again during the next

reincarnation.Itisjust(temporarily)outsideourconscious

The “self” is a reincarnated, materialised, part of our

“higher-self”; it is self-aware, it sees theworld in itsown

way.Duringourlifeonearth,weexperienceandlearna

savedinthecollectivememorytothebenefitofallhumanbeings living at the same time or later. Acquired

knowledge that may favourably serve our survival is, of

course,oftheutmostimportanceinevolutionarythinking.

Our individual experiences are also memorised by our

“higher-self”,whichhelps this entity tobecome “wiser” in

the course of its cycles of reincarnations. Unfortunately,

many of us are not aware that we have had many

previous lives. Also,muchof theacquiredknowledge is

notreadilyavailable;wecanmakethesamemistakesall

Fortunately, there are also people that do remember

certain things, or have access to the personal and



57

collective memory. Mediums,

clairvoyants, “holy men”, bio-energetic

healersandshamans, to namea few,

use“channels”togetinformation“from

in1687;gravitykeepsourfeetonthegroundandthestars

and planets in their orbits. His laws still describe quite

accurately the macro-physicalworld that is experienced

byourfivesenses.

However, for understanding the world of the infinitely

small, other laws have to be applied; Newton's laws do

not explain all kinds of phenomena. The very small

particlesthatformthebasisoftheplanetaryworldbehave

according to other laws, such as those described byquantummechanics.

My understanding of modern physics is very poor;

explainingthenewertheoriesgoesbeyondmycapacities.

However,whatIdounderstandisthatphysicallawscan

be noted down in mathematical equations, Einstein’s

make certain predictions; these predictions can then be

validated by experimentation or observation. Without

validation, the predictions remain in the domain of

theories.

However,itmaybehelpfultoplay

withthese.Theycanleadtoother

equations that may explain

certainphenomenabetter.Some

of these theories make theexistence of parallel worlds and

multiple dimensions very

plausible. This fits in very nicely

with the existence of dream worlds, altered states of

consciousnessand otherdimensions as experienced by

mystics,shamans,Easternholymenandothers.

The point made here is that wisdom found in old

scriptures and taught by gurus around the world is re-

discoveredbymodernscientists.Canoldwisdomvalidate

the newest mathematical equations, or can modern

sciencevalidateoldwisdom?

What can quantum mechanics tell us about ourselves?

Aboveand in variousotheranswers, I touchedupon the

whenthescaleofourobservationisreducedtoits limits,

Newton’slawshavetobechangedintothoseofquantum

The smallest particles we

knowarealsowaves(thatis

why they sometimes are

called wavicles). I have

mentioned several times the phenomenon ofmaterialisation ofenergy (the emergenceofmatter) and

dematerialisation of particles (their transformation into

waves). Particles change atunpredictablemoments into

wavesandbackagain.Ourtiniestbuildingmaterialsare,

ofcourse,alsotheseparticles,andthus,wemovetoour

ourcase,thetimeasawaveisshort.Thephenomenonof

“theobserverinfluencestheobserved”alsoplaysarolein

whyweseeourselvesassolid.

Considering this continuous play of materialisation and

dematerialisation of energy at the quantum level, it

becomes easier to understand the principle of

reincarnation.Ourexistenceafterdeathmeansthatmost,

if not all, particles change into thewave form andmay

stay there much longer (the notion of time becomes



62

irrelevant) than during our physical life. When we

materialiseagain, thesituationdescribed in theprevious

paragraphemergesagain.

Another phenomenon of quantum

mechanics, the non-locality

principle, is important for

understanding distant healing and

extra-sensory communication.

When two sister molecules areclose together (entangled) andwe

take one a few (or many) miles

away, they still remain in contact.

When something in the structureof the one is changed

(forinstanced-cholesterolintol-cholesterol),theotherwill

changeatexactlythesamemomentinthesamemanner.Apparently, theenergy partsofmoleculesare in contact

with each other in ways that classical physics cannot

explain. Thediscoveryof thezero-point fieldbymodern

physicists provides an explanation of this phenomenon

and thusourcapability of telepathy,distanthealing (bio-

energetic healing of persons without making physicalcontact) and other human traits. This non-locality

principleisalsodescribedas“entanglement”;itunderpins

Thediscoveriessuggestingthattheuniversecanbeseen

everypartofitcontains the informationaboutthewhole.

Thesamepatternthatmakesuptheuniversealsomakes

up the pattern of the earth and molecules. Only the

scalingchanges,not thepattern.Thehologramconcept

isanaturalextensionofquantummechanics.

Lastly, quantum mechanics predict the existence of

parallelworlds andmulti-dimensions (in physical terms).

Theexistenceof theseconcepts isparamount inEastern

and Western mystic thinking and accepted by naturalhealersandshamans.

Chapter seven: About changing our world

Can our reality be changed?

Whenweareborn,wearesubjecttothegravitationaland

otherenergiesoftheearth,thestars,sun,moonandother

planets. According to astrology, they determine several

aspects of our character. We inherit the DNA of our

parents, which determines to a certain degree specific

traits of the physical body and

how some of the energetic

influencescanbeexpressed.

Oneorgandeepinthebrain,the

pineal gland, seems to have a

function in our communication



64

with the energies in the universe. This gland produces

hormonesthataresimilartocertainherbaldrugsusedby

shamanstoenterotherrealities,orparallelworlds.Maybe

our“wefeelings”,our“feelingsofoneness”,arestimulated

by these hormones, because shamans are, during their

“voyages”,incontactwiththespiritofallthatis.

However,thereismoretoit.Theglandcontainsparticles

This scenario looks very promising; scientists predict an

continue(orstart)toworktogethertowardsa“we-world”

to preventasmuch aspossible a furtherdegradation of

Do collective intentions have power?

A lot of scientific research has explored the power of

thinking, the power of articulating and of expressing anintention.Ithasclearlybeendemonstratedthatintentions

“miracles”. People have been healed, crime rates

Our common intention to create a “we-world” will be a

What is the purpose of our life on earth?

Since the higher-self “lives”,

“exists”, “is”, in the form of

energy inanotherdimension“above”, we assume that

there is a purpose for

materialising (partly), for

existingtemporarily,onearth.Tolive“below”wehaveto

survive sufficiently long toexperience something. When

we dematerialise again (when dying), what has been



67

manner to enrich thespiritual selfwithmore knowledge

andwisdom.

Thiswayofthinkingleadstotheconclusionthatspiritual

enrichment is thedriver of ourexistence;beingonearth

duringareincarnationisameansoflearning.Thehuman

being is most probably the only animal (materialised

energy) who thinks like this. Moreover, he can createmany varieties of reality (the most opportunities for

learning); therefore, he regards himself as the most

advancedcreatureontheevolutionarypath.

Starting with the “Big Bang”, we went through all the

phases of materialised existence, from primal matter to

cells,plants,animals,tothecurrenthumanbody.When

thenon-materialselfhaslearnedenoughfromtheearthly

experiences (“the below”) it has no need to reincarnate

again,itcanstay“above”.

Unfortunately, it seems that theway the human species

has evolved and acts may, in the long run, destroy the

earth as a learning space. Overpopulation,

overexploitation, pollution, greed and all kinds of other

“factsoflife”arerapidlydecreasingthechancesofsurvival

of homo sapiens. It is reasonable to assume that

changingfroma“me-world”toa“we-world”increasesour

chances of survival and it will add new learning

experiences.

The first tribes of hunter-

at a sufficient distance and as

balance with nature. Things

changedwhenspace,foodanddrink(survival)becamea

matter of “us” versus “them”. The “us” versus “them”

feelingswerealsoinstigatedbyreligions:“believinginour

God (us) is the way to eternal bliss; those who do not

worship our God (them) will suffer in hell. Fear of not

surviving was skilfully employed by people who sought

power andwealth, thus using “us” feelings to satisfy the

“me”. Working towardsbecoming oneglobal tribe (with

tolerancefordifferencesinvalues)governedbywiseand

noble people is worth the effort. To paraphrase the

esotericmessagementionedbefore:“Createyourshared

reality”.

Summary

Every period of our world had its challenges as things

changed: new religions, new political structures, newscientific discoveries, new communication systems

needed to be addressed. Our current period is not an

exception; we are faced with rapid climate change,

overpopulation,overexploitation,localisedfoodandwater

shortagesandtheneedforaglobalgovernance,toname

afew.

To meet the challenges, increasing numbers of people

think that attitude change is an option to explore. They

take scriptures of old cultures and the wisdom of

civilisations living in harmony with nature as guidance.

Changes in attitudes are also shown by increasing

numbers of young people, who have some of this old

wisdomalreadybuilt-in.

Accordingtothiswisdom,weareallspiritualentities,but

wearetemporarilypartlymaterialisedtoliveontheearth,

subjectedtothephysicalconditionsinherenttoourplanet.

The concept of materialisation of energy is concurrent

with the current day science of quantum mechanics.

Energy andmatter aremanifestations of the same thing

and they continuously change their appearance from

wavestoparticlesandback.

Modern science also discovered, but has not yet fully

understood,theexistenceofa“zero-pointfield”ofenergy



70

thatfillsouruniverse;needlesstosay,wearepartofthis

energy.Thisfieldsustainsthecarrierwavesforuniversal

information exchange and a data base for information

storage. A collective memory of everything that has

occurred, what was developed or thought, during the

existenceofouruniversehasbeenbuiltupinthisfield.As

human beings, we can tap this memory via our non-

materialised energy part. Mediums, clairvoyants, bio-

energetichealersandshamansusethiscapacitytohelp

others.

Man evolved from primal energy/matter into a highly

complex collective of cells with various functions.

Neurons are important cells throughout our body; they

allow perception and interpretation of the world we

inhabit. Ourheartandbrain receiveall kindsof signals,which are sorted, used or not, and memorised. These

signals are, for instance, gravitational, electro-magnetic

andnon-electro-magneticenergiestowhichweresonate

ornot. Signalsarenotonlyreceived, theyarealsosent;

weconstantlytouchandareintouchwitheveryoneand

During the thousands of years of evolution, mankind

developed all kinds of survival skills, memorised in our

genesandthecollectivememory.Acting“socially”,putting

the interest of the group above the interest of the self,

About the author

Mick was born in 1938 in theNetherlands, the son of a

Protestant minister. While still quite young, he realisedthathisfather’sreligiondidnotallowsufficientfreedomof

thought and he started to seek answers to existential

questions elsewhere. After his study of veterinary

medicine, he specialised in food microbiology at the

NationalInstituteofPublicHealthandobtainedhisPh.D.

attheUniversityofUtrecht.In1980hewasengagedbyaglobal foodcompanyinSwitzerland,whichgavehimthe

opportunitytotraveltheworldandmeetpeopleofmany

traditionsandcultures. Heworked inmanyprofessional

organisations,conductedmanytrainingcoursesandhas

been teaching at the University of Wageningen, the

Netherlands. He authored and co-authored over 150scientific publications including several books. After his

retirement, he had more time to continue his quest for

understanding how “things between heaven and earth”

work through reading and shamanic voyaging. The

resultsarecondensedinthisbooklet.
