Did you know that of the full EMF spectrum, we can only see about 2% of it? Depending on how it’s measured, it may even be less. The point is, visible light only represents a small portion of the electromagnetic waves that are out there. So what’s the difference between you and someone who is considered completely blind? Not much. It occurs to me that we’re all mostly blind since our eyes are unable to detect all but a small portion of what could be seen if we had the capacity to see all wavelengths.
The same goes for our other senses. Our ears can only pick up a small portion of the vibrations in the air. Touch, is at best, a very rough sense. Taste and smell – equally limited. Compare these senses to the majority of other mammals and you can see just how limited we are. But even then, compared to all the vibrations, frequencies, etc. that are out there, even the animals are not much better than us.
So then, where is the logic in someone saying that if they can’t detect something with their own senses, then it doesn’t exist? We’ve developed all kinds of instrumentation that can help us detect many things that our senses cannot. Did X-rays exist before they were discovered in 1895? Of course they did. Did gamma rays exist before they were first detected in 1900? Naturally! The list goes on. What else is out there that we do not now have the technology to detect effectively?
At the risk of offending some people, allow me to switch from the scientific to the spiritual. (If it does offend you in any way, please refer to some of my previous blogs about the limitations of science and how too many people treat science as if it were a religion.) In my practice as a Chiropractic Physician (yes, that’s my official title), I’ve always leaned away from the medical approach and more toward the original philosophies of chiropractic. I’ve always emphasized that chiropractic is not just a “therapy” to help back and neck pain. That was not the original purpose of chiropractic. The idea is that, as we remove interference in the nervous system by aligning the spine, the body is allowed to function better, resulting in improved health and quality of life. There are a number of techniques that are used to achieve that, but that’s the basic idea behind fundamental chiropractic.
In spite of my devotion to old-time chiropractic philosophy, I’ve been pretty conservative and what I considered to be scientifically-minded. Although I’ve been a chiropractor for over 30 years, I became converted to energy work just several years ago. I rely on muscle testing for a large portion of the work that I do (Emotion Code, Body Code, NAET, etc.). There’s also a great deal of intuition involved. This not only helps me in my muscle testing, but in helping me to know what questions to ask in my testing. The objective, scientific part of me is still not entirely confident in my intuition. However, I have found that the more I am aware of and follow my intuition, the more I’m able to help my patients.
The purpose of this post is not to make a statement about ESP, clairvoyance, or other mind powers. However, I will say that there are many things we can’t just dismiss. Might we have other senses, other than the five basic ones, that we’re not very aware of, which, if we learned to use them better, could be used as effectively as sight or hearing or any other sense? When you get a distinct “feeling” about something, it should not be ignored. As they say, sometimes you have to just “go with your gut”.
