I am working with a group of scientists and lay people who are researching the nature of a "new" form of matter. We call this form of matter "ORMUS". We have found that it is possible to get certain elements into the ORMUS state using a variety of methods. We have also found that the ORMUS elements are quite common in nature though they are difficult to identify because they are practically invisible to spectroscopy.

Various researchers have noticed that the ORMUS elements seem to play an important role in biological systems. The ORMUS elements appear to do things in several different categories; they serve as the communication medium for your intent and they also have other functions. An example of these other functions is that ORMUS copper will restore the color of your hair but it does not seem to boost the immune system like ORMUS rhodium does.

As a communication medium, one or more of the ORMUS elements appear to work like the air, in that the air will carry any sound you can utter. The air does not care whether the message is one of love or of condemnation; it will carry both equally. On the other hand, communication itself is generally better than non-communication.

This means that it will facilitate the manifestation of intent whether that intent is loving or not.

Imagine that you have two bells at your house. One is made of loving intent (what you want) and the other is made of the fear based emotions like anger, judgment, fear or hatred (what you don't want). These bells are dinner bells. The love bell calls in the angels to support you but the fear bell calls in your demons.

Both of these bells depend on the air to carry their message. ORMUS is like the air in this way. If you ring the love bell it will call in everything which resonates with what you want--like love, abundance, health and connectedness. If you ring the fear bell it will call in those things that resonate with what you don't want--things like fear, pain, justification for anger, unhappiness and lack.

Each generation has its own way to describe the law of karma. One generation will say "he who lives by the sword will die by the sword" another generation will say "what goes around comes around" and yet another generation will say "you get what you pay for". This common folk wisdom is our way of acknowledging our personal responsibility for our individual and collective reality.

Even when we ring the fear bell we are expressing a basic good intent in that we know in our hearts that the results of ringing that bell include suffering. If we can look at our suffering we can often look back at how we called that suffering to dinner when we rang the fear bell. This looking-back process is easier if the suffering is more closely linked in time with ringing the fear bell. John Lennon called this "instant karma".

If you are to hear the resonance of a bell there must be air to carry the sound. If you ring a bell on the highest mountain where the air is thin it takes longer for the sound to travel to your ear than if you ring the bell at the ocean where the air is thick. You will hear the train coming with your ear to the dense, iron train track long before you will hear it through the air.

Imagine that it is possible to have infinitely thick air. The sound of a bell would travel instantaneously and everywhere this infinitely thick air existed. I believe that the ORMUS elements provide this sort of infinitely thick communication medium for our thoughts and intentions.

Modern physicists and other scientists have observed this kind of instantaneous communication. They have even coined terms to describe it. They call it "quantum coherence" or "non-local interaction".

Many modern scientists have also suggested that this instantaneous communication occurs in a "place" which underlies physical reality. The physicist David Bohm called this "place" the "implicate order" and he called our physical reality the "explicate order". The biologist Rupert Sheldrake calls this "place" the "morphogenic field". Lynne McTaggart has written a book that collects much of the scientific research on this "place" of instantaneous communication. She calls this place "The Field" and that is the name of her book.

To bring the ideas of modern physicists further into our analogy: modern physicists often speak of the field, which underlies physical reality, as a "plenum". This is like the plenum, which connects the ducts under the floor that bring warm or cold air to every room of a building. We can often put our ear down to a duct and hear conversations in other rooms of the building. In a similar way the non-physical plenum, which underlies physical reality, is believed to carry information instantaneously and without being limited by distance.

In 1924 Albert Einstein, building on the work of Satyendra Nath Bose, predicted that it should be possible for two or more atoms to get into the same quantum state and their wavelengths would become superimposed on one another. This state of matter is referred to as a "Bose-Einstein Condensate" or BEC. It took a long time but a BEC was finally created in a laboratory in 1995 by taking a small group of atoms to a millionth of a degree above absolute zero. This deed got the 2001 Nobel Prize for the physicists who did it.

A Bose-Einstein Condensate composed of many atoms would, in effect, be an infinitely dense substance. We believe that the ORMUS elements can become room temperature BECs. If this is true then they might form the basis for an instantaneous, non-local communication system like the mystical connection that sages of all ages have described.

I like to use the Internet as an analogy for such a communication system. Your physical body would be like an individual computer that connects to all of the information on the Internet through a modem. In this analogy, the ORMUS elements would be the connector (the modem) that allows you to access the information of the "Innernet" (or The Field, or plenum, or implicate order, or Unified Field of Being). While the basic modem connection is adequate for email and a bit of web browsing, most people would like to have the faster connection that broadband cable or DSL provides. This is true information abundance, an almost instantaneous way to bring sound and images to your computer.

We think that the ORMUS elements may need to reach a certain concentration in the body before they make the quantum leap into true conscious, coherent communication with the Innernet. Using ORMUS can help here but this coherence is also a function of something the ancient sages called "one pointed awareness". Another way to put it is:

"If two make peace with each other in this one house, they shall say to the mountain: "Be moved", and it shall be moved."

If we alternate between ringing the "love" bell and ringing the "fear" bell we create interference patterns in the air. In much the same way the interference patterns of these two feelings may tend to prevent the ORMUS elements from getting into a coherent BEC state.

It is like we always have the modem for the basic Innernet connection, which sustains life, but we are seeking a better connection which requires a synergy between the new hardware (broadband or DSL) and our own software. If we use ORMUS without learning how to focus our feelings on love then we will mostly succeed in bringing on instant karma.

Though the law of karma is a learning tool too, the law of grace is probably a less painful way to learn. We come more and more under the law of grace as we acknowledge that we called in each unpleasant feature of our life by ringing the fear bell. When we accept this responsibility for all that happens in our lives we begin to see the many ways in which we ring the fear bell.

The law of grace kicks in when we start actively appreciating each difficulty as a way to learn of its cause within ourselves and as we extend our hand in love to others as an example of the healing power of the connection of love.
