Much of the healing by mystics as well as modern science works at the quantum level of energy movement.

So let's look a minute at quantum mechanics because the question, if we look deep enough, is "what the heck is moving"?

The traditional answer is "tiny particles of energy separated by billions of relative miles"? For awhile this answer works, but then if we look deeper we see that at some stage all the tiny bits reach a stage where Newtonian science no longer works.

The tiny bits of stuff start shifting and acting part of the time like stuff and part of the time like energy. "So what is this stuff-energy", we must ask? The startling reply? "This stuff is our intention, or attention or observation". Consciousness is the root of all being and we are as affected by these tiny movements of nothing as we are by the huge particles that swirl above us in space (the sun starts and planets).

This is where the scientists and mystics come together. Astrology Yagyas, mysticism and quantum science are all ways of affecting intention.

A yagya is a specific prayer chanted or thought by a pundit who is a priest trained since childhood to chant each prayer with a specific intention. There are yagyas to ameliorate bad planetary influences. There are yagyas for good health, for wealth for the removal of obstacles and delays, etc. For example the mahamrityanjaya yagya is a prayer that must be repeated 100,000 times and takes one pundit about a month.

I so strongly believe that these chants when chanted with the correct intention work at what scientists would call the quantum level. For example on Merri's birthday I hired a pundit in India to do yagyas for her every day for an entire year! She continues to be thrilled daily over this gift.

Scientific quantum theory is just a different way of working at this deepest subconscious level.

Mystics and scientists are connected to experiences that are controlled by consciousness via our chakras.

These charkas are energy processors and our intention affects this energy. This energy is connected to some infinite intelligence so when we deal at this level all things now, past and present are understood. Sometimes this understanding leads us to know something of the past or present that we cannot explain.

Look at the Quantum aspects of life. Begin with our physical selves which-to our five senses look, feel, smell, taste and sound solid. Yet if science is to be believed we know that we are not.

We are told (and most of us believe) that if we dig deep enough we'll find that the solid stuff that makes us is just a bunch of molecules swirling around one another separated by vast amounts (in relative terms, the molecules are as far from each other as earth is to the sun) of space. And as you'll see in a minute if we believe it, it is real.

Plus we also believe that if we look deeper we find that even these molecules are not solid, but are again composed by bits of stuff we call atoms swirling in vast amounts of space. Nor is this the end. These atoms are also broken down into even tinier parts, electrons, neutrons, protons that are made of even smaller bosons, quarks and such.

Finally we reach a point where these smallest bits act differently than anyway we can imagine in our physical world.

This is their Quantum state, a place where the essence of all physical things sometimes acts like bits of matter and other times acts like energy.

Here is the crunch. Science tells us that it is the act of observation, or our intention or attention that determines whether these bits are energy or stuff. In other words if science is to be believed, we literally create the universe in which we live.

This first dramatically came home to me when I read an article in USA Today entitled, "Quantum Computer" which states Atomic Quantum computers (QC) will probably take the world into the next era of information technology. The QC works in Qubits of processing power and has a different type of logic (which works on the principles of quantum mechanics) that makes their speed immense. For example a forty qubit (IBM labs have already created up to three qubit computers) processor would have all the power of today's super computers, but would be enormously faster. A Quantum computer would be a billion times faster than a Pentium III PC. According to the article, a current super computer trying to find one number in a database of all the world's phone books would take one month. A quantum computer would take 27 minutes! Labs around the world are pushing this science hard. IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Bell Labs, UC Berkeley are just a few U.S. concerns that have invested heavily in this technology. Because these computers will be able to break any type of code or encryption, the CIA, Pentagon etc. are both very nervous yet interested all at the same time. The government has set up a well-funded quantum computer lab at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The point? What I am about to write is not science fiction nor airy-fairy stuff. Billions are already being invested by some of the largest companies and governments in the world. Yet all this investing is in something none of us may be able to understand or even worse can't even believe. According to the article, Charles Bennett, IBM's best known quantum computer scientist says, "It takes a great deal of courage to accept these things. If you do, you have to believe in a lot of other strange things." MIT's Neil Gershenfeld, who with IBM's Issac Chuang built the most successful Quantum computer to date, says, "Nature knows how to compute. We just don't know how to ask the right questions."

Here is how the computer works. All atoms have a spin of up or down, so scientists can use these spins in the same way that transistors are currently used in today's computers to represent a 0 or 1. So far so good, but here is where the quantum factors come in that are the source of the amazing power of these computers. Atoms can have both an up or down spin at the same time until they are measured. The act of measuring forces the atom to choose between up or down. In essence what these scientists are saying is it's not the atom that has the spin, but the act of observation! In other words, these computers do not depend on matter but on motion.

Remember I am simply passing on what USA Today says IBM, Hewlett Packard, the U.S. Government and others are spending billions on right now. But Quantum weirdness does not end here. The article continues by saying that qubits don't do calculations in linear form like current computers. They instead do all possible calculations at the same time, straddling all possible answers until the act of measuring the qubits forces them to settle on an answer.

Weirder still?

According to the article, the Quantum computer holds an infinite number of right answers for an infinite number of universes (remember I am not writing this, the USA Today article and the computers already exist). The computer just gives you the right answer for the universe you happen to be in at the time. To believe in Quantum computers (which our government and private industry is spending billions on) we have to believe in parallel universes.

This is hard to grasp and then it gets even harder! Quantum computers gain even more power because of a process called entanglement. When two atoms are observed by the same force, they become entangled and remain so even though they may be light years apart. Their spins are in all positions at once, but the instant one entangled atom is observed its spin goes one way. At that same instant, the spin of the other particle locks in the opposite direction (even though they are then light years apart). This is essential to the increased speed of Quantum computers. Today's computers are limited to the speed, which an electron can pass through a wire (the speed of light). With entanglement, a quantum computer's speed can blow by today's computers because the shift in spin even over light years is instantaneous! In addition because of entanglement according to USA Today, there are ways to do Star Trek type teleportation. Remember I am not writing these words. According to USA Today, Stan Williams of Hewlett-Packard says, "The potential is so huge and it would be so disruptive it could completely change the way at least some computing is done."

So in short our attitude, our attention or intention or focus or beliefs or let's use the word, faith, is what creates our world.

This explains many phenomenon (such as faith healing) and makes these ideas very scientific. If we can affect our beliefs at the very deepest levels, the place where we connect with our Quantum state we can do anything, including making ourselves ill or well.

This is why doctors work so well (good and bad) in the western world. They believe in themselves and their patients believe in them too. Society has imbedded a set of ideas and values within us that are very real. Words such as virus, cancer, etc. have developed a meaning at our deepest level so if someone whom we believe says, "You have cancer", that can create certain belief patterns (frequencies) to work at our Quantum core. This belief then creates the physical manifestation of what we believe. This becomes even subtler at the level of medical testing. If we take a test for PSA as an example and the piece of paper that comes to the doctor says this value is high, we begin to believe we have cancer.

In Quantum terms, one could say we move into a universe where this condition exits. This seems to counter intuitive to be real, but if the Quantum computer is to be believed, then the multiverse exists. (Read Michael Crichton's book, "Timeline" for more about the multiverse).

The book "Healer, Shaman and Sage" shows that many indigenous cultures view themselves as energetic beings that have created a physical form. This is compared to the Western philosophy that we are physical forms with an energetic portion. (Quantum science by the way sort of supports the shamans view.) Thus in Western medicine we have this concept of testing our form to look for illness (which we then give names to). We have devised a series of tests each that gives us a clue that some physical imbalance might exist, such as a mammogram, PSA etc.

There are other cultures that believe that all illnesses are energetic imbalances and that as energetic beings we are all one energy deriving from the cosmic consciousness (call it the Quantum field, Godhead or whatever). They believe that this is a source of universal energy and that we can at any time balance these imbalances.

Another way of looking at it is as a different form of digestion. The process we call life is a continual blending of all types of energy (or differing frequencies) through the food we eat, water we drink, air we breathe, sights we see, sounds we hear, stimulation we feel, smells we snort, etc. The energy we pick up at the Quantum level is through our Chakras (there are seven main charkas and these Chakras process this energy through specific points of the spinal column (hence why chiropractors work). Each of these specific points of the spinal column is connected to an organ or gland.

By looking at clues about the balance of these charkas we can see the balance of each organ. For example what the doctors called Leukemia is an imbalance in the spleen and blood. By rebalancing these elements, the symptoms and manifestation can be dramatically reduced or even go away.

This is not to say we should abandon Western medicine. Many parts of it work very well (though a leading cause of death in the industrialized world today is incorrect or excessive prescriptions). But we can enhance our health and well being by understanding the chakras and how they balance the system.

My logical mind has a very difficult time grappling with these ideas but believe me I have seen them work so often I now have a great deal of respect for this.

This is where I see a link between meditation, prayer, biofeedback, astrology, yagyas, faith healing and all types of scientific quantum healing. Each is a different way of getting in touch with our most profound level of existence because each relies on faith and in terms Quantum mechanics faith (our beliefs, our attention, intention, attitudes etc.) is the key to life.
