The Electric Fields of Life

"The human biological machine is a powerful dominant electrical field which can-
if its transformational functions are activated by the waking state,
act electrically upon the essential self... "
another, less powerful but more subtle electrical field which forms the true self."

The Human Biological Machine is a powerful dominant electric field.

The Essential Self is a less powerful, more subtle electrical field.


What is an Electric Field?

Elecb.jpg (22582 bytes)


The space between and around "charged bodies", in which their influence is felt, is called the electric field.


A body exerts forces on other bodies some distance away by electromagnetically altering the space around itself. The other bodies then feel forces because of the altered space. The altered space is the field of force.

An electric field is an altered space.

An electric field is a field of force. elecg.jpg (24692 bytes)
elech.jpg (23682 bytes) An electric field is a sphere of influence.

When electrodes are introduced into a system or medium,
an electric field is created in the space around them.

An electrode is a conductor used to transport "charge" into or out of a system.

There are two electrodes, one at each end of the flow of "charge".

The "Cathode" or negative electrode. (The charge flows out from here.) elecm.jpg (13518 bytes)

The "Anode" or positive electrode. (The charge flows into here.)


BIRTH


DEATH

Think of these "events" as the two poles in the two interlocked electric fields: the machine and the essence. The charge flows from Birth (the negative electrode) through the electric current we call Life to Death (the positive electrode) ... and then back to Birth (through the "outer currents" we call the Bardo).

Stop for a moment.
Look around you and ask yourself:

elecx.jpg (14718 bytes)

Where and what is the Machine?
Where and what is the Essence?
and
What is the "charge" that creates them out the Void?


From a perspective of Four Dimensions, Time is a fourth direction and our past and future are all shapes that interlock with other shapes in a web of fields.

elecy.jpg (15700 bytes)
elecza.jpg (17053 bytes) Our future, our wishes, our fears of the things to come, are all things that not only already happened... they have always been!
They are eternal fluctuations of electric fields which have always been there and will always be there!


"Life, as we will come to understand it, is not a progression from the Past to the Future; it is an Eternal Return, an endless series of passages through, and at right angles, to the life of the Machine..."


eleczc.jpg (14410 bytes)


A "charge" flows out from one point to the other, creating two intelocked fields of force around itself: the Machine and the Essential Self.

"Because both the essential self and the machine are electrical in nature, the two fields impinging upon one another produce a third electrical field..."
"Each field can radically affect the other..."


Under certain conditions, the Essential Self electric field can be changed by the more powerful electrical field that is the machine.
eleczd.jpg (8259 bytes)
elecze.jpg (4998 bytes) But for this to happen, the Machine must be in what we call "the Awakened State", a particular electrical state of the Machine which is very rare in our present society.

eleczf.jpg (9336 bytes)


What is this "awakened state of the machine" in electrical terms?
Why would we want to transform the Essential Self field?
and, assuming that we would want to,
How would this Transformation be accomplished?
