Robin
Kelly-
The Human Aerial
Continued.....
In one
instance, after treatment a lady returned home in a state of bliss,
and informed her family,
‘I
heard the angels sing.’ Later I asked her what precisely she
had experienced; was she talking metaphorically? ‘In fact,’
she explained, ‘I heard nothing, but the metaphor of the song
best conveyed the experience. I felt a joyful harmony, a sense that I
was resonating with the universe and was part of a divine song. The
joy lingered for an hour or two and then faded. It came unasked and
unexpectedly, as a blessing, but in that moment I was both the dancer
and the dance.’
This
of
course is not the usual consequence of acupuncture treatment, but it
seems to be cited as an example of how it assists in attuning a
client to a proper order of things. Robin describes how he had been
using this procedure every day in his practice and was curious about
the science behind it. In talking about his investigations, he
clearly describes for the layman the gist of scientific speculation
based on the solid foundation of validated mathematics of QM physics.
It is sound speculation but not proven fact, and thus Robin often
rightly presents the material in the form of questions: “Could
it be the case that…?”
The
prevailing theme in the book is the connectedness of all things. He
writes:
In
the
Auguries of Innocence William Blake invites us: To see the world in
a grain of sand, And heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the
palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.” Somehow,
one-and-a-half centuries before Dennis Gabor’s discovery [in
1971 that if a corner were cut from a holographic plate, and
subjected to another laser beam, the whole image could still be
recovered], William Blake had decided that we live in a holographic
universe, within a world of patterns whose origins existed beyond
the reach of our five senses. [page 45]
Robin
explores the symbolism of the Caduceus.
“The
symmetrical twin serpents of the Caduceus represents the balancing of
energies at the different levels of the body; the goal of the
acupuncturist was to help the patient achieve an ideal balanced
state by easing the exchange of energy between the body and
nature.”
[p.62] “The chakras were not the product of rational
scientific thought. Rather they were recognised intuitively.”
The
same may
be said of the acupuncture points of Chinese medicine. Interestingly
Descartes [1596-1650], who symbolises reductionism, “meditated
for three hours every morning, and attributed the development of his
theories… to a combination of rationality and intuition.”
Kelly
examines the human DNA as a superconductor and as an aerial. “Our
understanding of DNA deepens, as we perceive it as a vital link
between our earth-bound mortal/physical body and the more ethereal
realms of our immortal, timeless soul.”[p.74]. He discusses
Near Death and Out of the Body Experiences; the importance of prayer
and intent; Tuning in to the Dead; the Gift of Mediumship;
Precognition.
The
bulk of
the book is devoted to healing and wholeness at all levels of
development, and many doctors as well as lay people will find much to
stimulate thought.
Towards
the
end of the book, on page 313, Albert Einstein is quoted:
The
intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful
servant.
We
have
created a society that honours the servant, and has forgotten the
gift.
