SHC – The “lightning discharge” hypothesis receives support
The “lightning discharge” hypothesis of plasma metaphysics, proposed in this author’s article Spontaneous Human Combustion and Electrical Discharges in the Subtle Body published on April 16, 2007 on this website, has received further support from recent research.
In the article, Jay Alfred proposed that spontaneous human combustion is caused by electrical discharges, similar to lightning discharges, within the body. The article says: “Lightning is an electrical discharge within this system. According to plasma metaphysics, the same phenomenon that occurs in space and on Earth can occur within our subtle bodies… The energies of our subtle body (high energy) Magma bodies far outweigh anything the biomolecular body can withstand.”
In December 2007, researchers at the University of Michigan discovered, to their surprise, “electric fields within cells as strong as those produced by lightning.” However, “scientists aren’t clear on what causes these strong fields or what they might mean.”
The unexplained electromagnetic field of the body
The researchers, led by chemistry professor Raoul Kopelman, used voltage-sensitive dyes injected into polymer spheres just 30 nanometers in diameter. When illuminated with blue light, the voltage-sensitive dyes inside the nanoparticles emitted a mixture of red and green light. Since the exact frequency of the emitted light is influenced by the strength of the local electric field, this gave the researchers a way to measure the strength of the field. Using these nanoparticles, Kopelman found electric fields of up to 15 million volts per meter in the internal fluid of brain cancer cells. This is five times stronger than the electric field found in lightning.
The existence of strong electric fields across cell membranes is accepted as a basic fact of cell biology. Maintaining gradients of charged molecules and ions enables many cellular functions, from control over cell volume to electrical discharges of nerve and muscle cells. However, the fact that cells appear to have powerful internal electrical fields has surprised scientists. Kopelman presented his results at the 47th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in December 2007. “There has been skepticism about the measurements,” says Kopelman, “but we don’t have an interpretation.”
These background electric fields in the body provide evidence of a bioplasma body (counterpart) that is coupled with the physical carbon-based body. A body of bioplasm generates electromagnetic fields. According to plasma metaphysics, bioplasma cells co-evolved with physical carbon cells (see the author’s article on Plasma Life Forms – Panspermia Obscura, 2007). The fact that these electric fields, discovered by Kopelman, cannot be explained by scientists using the limited physical carbon-based model of an isolated body shows that the bioplasma body, which has been referred to as the (lower) “physical-etheric” body in the metaphysical literature and which forms the basis for the study of Chinese acupuncture, can be progressively studied and verified only as current technology improves.
However, this is not the first time mysterious background electric fields have been noticed. Robert Becker, Harold Burr, and others have also documented a pattern of voltage gradients over the body that is consistent with Chinese acupuncture points but difficult to explain based on current scientific theories. Earth also has an unexplained background electromagnetic field.
The unexplained electromagnetic field of the Earth
Blake Levitt, in his book, Electromagnetic fields, noted that the natural background voltage increases with altitude. Between the lowest layers of the ionosphere and the Earth’s surface there are about 360,000 volts; from the top of the Empire State Building to the sidewalks at its base, there are approximately 40,000 volts; and between the head of a six-foot man and the sidewalk, approximately 200 volts. At the Earth’s surface, the voltage is about 100. This sounds alarming, however, there is almost no shock potential because there is (apparently) no current; it appears to be just background voltage and static DC fields. Scientists know very little about this huge reservoir of natural energy: how it works or what governs it.
It has already been noted in the author’s article. Acupuncture Meridians and the Earth’s Web, 2007 that the Earth also has a subtle electromagnetic “body”, an electromagnetic field generated by a higher energy plasmasphere; a counterpart to Earth that can also be identified with Earth’s low-density dark matter halo, as described in the author’s article Earth’s dark matter halo, 2007.
As an interesting incidental point, this vertical electromagnetic (vector) field in the Earth’s atmosphere will allow a body of charged bioplasma to separate or decouple from the physical-carbon body (temporarily during sleep or a near-death experience and permanently afterward). of the death of the physical carbon-based body) to ascend to the atmosphere neutralizing or reversing its charge. The charged bioplasma body would experience the local electric field in a particular direction. (As noted in Jay Alfred’s Our invisible bodies, 2006, bioplasma bodies can levitate and move by manipulating the body’s electrical charge.) Some may point to the ascension of the resurrected body of Jesus (of Nazareth) through the atmosphere, as reported in the Christian New Testament, or certain experiences close to death as providing anecdotal evidence of this type of phenomenon. Trevor James Constable claims the existence of invisible plasma “sky creatures” that live and move in the atmosphere and can be photographed on infrared film.
conclusion
Research conducted at the University of Michigan, as mentioned above, will have significant implications for Chinese acupuncture. According to plasma metaphysics, both our subtle bioplasma bodies and the Earth’s dark matter halo are composed of a magnetic (complex) plasma of high-energy (non-standard) particles.
