The reason for this suspension of beliefs is clear. We have grown into a belief system of tunnel vision focused only on reference to one level of dimensional existence. It is a natural process of limitation propelled by easy observation and awareness of this primary material dimension of experience. What we are readily able to see and touch holds a certainty of truth of reality but may not be the whole truth. This has been the catalyst for division between science and spirituality for hundreds of years. To illustrate the perception of half-truth, consider a small metal bar. Seeing and touching may provide the surety of existence and knowledge of shape, weight and colour. You may throw it, drop it or use it as a paperweight but your perception may only be half the truth. You could continue for years never recognizing that this particular bar had unseen magnetic qualities that would expand your comprehension of its uses. This is a simple and acceptable understanding only because under certain repeatable circumstances the unseen ability of magnetism can easily show its physical process. Also, you do not marvel at this ability as your ancestors would because the concept of magnetism has been thoroughly documented in human knowledge for a long time.

I pose the theory that we may never be done discovering the reality of unseen forces in this dimension. However, in the course of history the simpler concepts of physical reality have been securely rationalized into so solid a belief structure that makes it easy to rest in our discovery process. Except for the fact that we are often confronted with phenomenon that seems to have no explanation or possibility under standard conventions. These unknown occurrences are often clinically ignored or considered by conventional believers as a profound action of Spirit intervention. It is this intensive spiritual belief that propels us towards unknown possibilities of spiritual or inter-dimensional potentiality in healing. I believe this is a beginning point for science and spiritual comprehension to reunite for the good of our collective future. I believe that while these potentials are commonly regarded as mystical and extraordinary to known Worldly Science because they seem to cross the threshold of current accountabilities they will eventually be proved spiritually scientific under a heading of Universal Sciences. Our knowledge of such sciences are in infancy with current researches in quantum physics but consider that there may be a complete inter-dimensional realm of scientific laws cradling this dimension of matter and the scientific laws we normally experience. A corner of this exploration leads us into Mind-Body medicine that is being studied by many who dare to cross conventional thinking to try and rationalize extraordinary results of an apparently mystical or spiritual or inter-dimensional concept of higher mind and unseen but technically measured energies. For the purpose of this work, please consider our universe as a dynamic energy field of matter within a larger energy field; one that is oscillating at levels that we can not even recognize or measure. Matter, is this energy slowed down to levels of this dimension. Everything we perceive as solid is vibrating at molecular levels and as such has interaction in multidimensional levels of existence that we may only occasionally perceive during an extraordinary example.

Later, I will consider a concept of a multidimensional true self in more detail but first I want to reinforce a concept of your openness to consider that what we physically see and experience may not actually be the essence of cause and effect that governs our physical process. Our experience of physical health or malady may not rest on a physical catalyst in this dimension. Our physical experience may only be a symptomatic reflection of occurrences from another integral dimension of our consciousness life. As an example, in a seminar, Dr, Deepak Chopra explains that the modern medical model has resolved an understanding of collective evidence indicating that measurable, common bio-markers identify the current status of aging in the human body. In all cases this would seem to be concrete proof of the inevitability of a timed physical deterioration. Such scientific theory instills a common collective belief system that we must age and die. Consider though, that our mindful beliefs may have, from another integral dimension of our experience, the direct ability to shape the outcome of our experience, especially the experience of our biological bodies. Consider that the collective power of all minds focused within the physical dimension manifest the commonalities of life experience.

Dr. Chopra goes on to reference a clinical experiment that was carried on at Tuft University of Medicine. This experiment introduced a physical fitness program including progressive weight training to numerous people between the ages of sixty and ninety five. After a significant period, ten aging bio-markers were remeasured to discover that in all of the subjects the measured level of aging had reversed. Some between the ages of sixty and seventy were actually experiencing more physical endurance than others at twenty-five years of age. Psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer of Harvard University carried out an even more extraordinary mindful time experiment. Dr. Langer provided a number of people over the age of seventy-five an extended stay at a secluded retreat that totally replicated the environmental time period of 1959. These people who were asked, "to be as you were in that time period," totally relived the cultural sensory experience of the time through environmental and media perceptions. The scientific objective of the study was to consider that a remembered experience can create the same flux of neurotransmitters and hormones as the real experience of mind. The benign sensory or imagined experience replicated the same physical, bio-chemical responses in the body as the real experience. This experience did not include physical exercise interventions, medications or meditation that have also shown ability to affect the physical bio-chemical experience. Bio-marker measurements including such things as hearing, eyesight, flexibility and length of fingers indicated a reversal of aging after one week. Dr. Chopra concludes that chronological age may not be directly correlated to biological age and that human aging may be fluid based on mindful experience. A number of studies like this also indicate that stressful experience accelerate your aging process, while the harmonious experience of falling in love can slow and reverse this biological action. The mindful harmony in your perception of life experience is directly related to the process of aging. This is the factor of young people who experience severe stress and burnout and display advanced biological aging just as it is equally visible to encounter elderly people who continue an active and youthful appearance long after expected ages of deterioration. This is early evidence that the mind has an integral command of health and disorder based on our perception of life experience.

From my personal experience of a time before I was studying such things, I will relate a story about my suffering of extreme chest pain. During a forty-minute trip, returning home from across town, I mistook the severe pain of a gall bladder attack for the perception of heart attack. Frightened by the possibility, all the way home I was verbally talking to my heart, telling it, "everything would be fine and to calm and slow down". On reaching home that Saturday evening, a family member took me to the hospital emergency department. At emergency I only described my pain and was looking for some pain relief medication. After taking my vital signs the staff scrambled into procedures to check or monitor my cardiac condition. I was not aware of what the medical staff were thinking and continued to ask for pain medication throughout the EKG testing etc. Finally, I was given 100ml of Demerol for the pain. From that point I slipped in an out of consciousness without pain. I have a vague memory of being taken to x-ray and a later commentary from the doctor but no recollection of his finding. I awoke back at home at mid-day on Sunday with no knowledge of the outcome at hospital. I continued to endure the chest pain at half the intensity until calling my family physician on Monday morning. While he had not yet received a report from emergency, he told me to come in immediately. He ordered immediate blood work and an ultrasound that confirmed his suspicion of gall bladder attack. That Monday evening, I had an emergency gall bladder surgery. Ten days later, in his absence, I saw his colleague for examination and removal of surgical stitches. The following day I received voice mail from this doctor who summoned me immediately to the office. The tone and message were urgent as I was directed if necessary, to come after office hours and he would be waiting for me. His urgency turned out to be the original report from emergency that had just arrived at their office. This report detailed my arrival at emergency with severe chest pain, and an abnormally low heart rate of 40 beats per minute that eventually eased to normal conditions, (under the effects of drug induced sleep), before I was released. Since he had just examined me the day before, he could not reconcile how a man of my age and condition could have been in this cardiac state and he wanted to reexamine me to be sure he had not missed something. His second examination found nothing abnormal nor answered his query. It was quite sometime before I realized that this was a profound personal experience to prove to me the ultimate power of mind over the body condition. All of these examples indicate that if we alter the personal perceptions or expectations of experience we can alter the physical experience itself. If you were to meditate toward or intensely imagine an experience lets say, walking through a snowy winter scene with no coat you can lower your body temperature, or, if you imagine you are desperately running to catch a bus you will experience an increase in heart rate. Likewise, if you perceive that you are biting into pizza there will be an immediate release of salivary enzymes. Or, if you imagine reliving a past stressful experience you will have a system release of cortisone and adrenaline, and possibly hydrochloric acid in your stomach that can provide a current experience of heartburn. All of these effects are the direct influence of mindful perception not reality experience. The reason for this is that your physical experience is a reflection of mindful perception. By the same token there is a long term programming influence of mindful perception, as it is deeply difficult for people to succeed if they have been constantly told they are unworthy. It is just as true that our long-term indoctrination to the physically focused belief systems of science limit our mindful acceptance of such inter-dimensional theories.

Research in Mind-Body medicine is coming to the conclusion that our physical world is more illusory than solid. This is a thoughtful understanding of our collective and personal expectations that could actually be the catalyst that form what we can touch and feel. Our observations of the physical reflection of mind are so potent a dream state reality that the reflections seem more real than the quantum truths that make them cohesive in this dimension. This may sound unbelievable because of the tunnel vision we use to observe only the physical dimension. However, when we try to reconcile unbelievable medical outcomes we find no basis in physical scientific laws because such things do transcend our knowledge gained by physical observation. So far, we cannot deny the observation of the impossible and can only wonder how such miracles are possible. I believe that within a quantum physics level there is a real sub-material dimension of pattern and form that generates the physical experience. This level interacts with the spiritual energy dimension of mind and is unbounded by current dictates of physical scientific laws, theories and linear time. Further, while we assume the clinical observations of physical body reality are the actual cause and effect of physical malady, they may not be. What we can see and touch may only be a physical reflection of a truer cause and effect process that is eluding us. The history of physical observations we conventionally use to diagnose medical expectations and outcomes may only be accurate as a reading of the reflection of a quantum energy process. A process of mindful experience generated by the patterns of sub-material energy that shows a congruency to most physical maladies, interventions and outcomes. This history may only continue to be accurate if there is not some kind of intervention at the sub-material level that shows itself as impossibility according to known physical factors.
