DESCRIPTION
The Electric BridgeIntroductionWe will discuss some developments in the realm of science, which are particularly of interest from the point of view of the Ageless Wisdom and electricity and magnetism.Please note that although most of the information we will discuss has been published in official and renowned scientific journals, much of what we have to say is not yet “main stream” science. In moments of crises there is often resistance and confusion. Main stream science produces a lot of resistance, whereas “new” science too often is trapped by glamours of all kinds. Science will not rapidly admit to be in a crisis - it has invented a word for that: “paradigm shift.”Not all recent discussions about paradigm shifts, however, correspond with real shifts in scientific thinking. We hope to shed some light on the cross roads emerging in the scientific research of today.As the title indicates, the focus will be on electricity (and magnetism). But also on the bridge: Electricity plays a role in many, if not all, areas of manifestation, and we will touch upon concepts as vast as galaxies in the sky as well as upon topics as small as cells in the human body.To not get lost immediately we will first give some basics from the point of view of the Ageless Wisdom.Then we will explain what we mean by “the Electric Universe.”And we will see what that implies for galaxies, our Sun, and our planet Earth.Finally we will have a short look at its implications for the human cell.The scientific community of today takes as premises of cosmology: * The evolution and current behaviour of the galaxies, stars and planets is mainly an effect of the laws of gravity. At high school you may have learned the laws of Sir Isaac Newton (classical gravitation) which were later extended by Albert Einstein to include special and general relativity. * The universe as such is electrically neutral. As gravitation governs the global behaviour of celestial bodies, there is no need to take electrical phenomena on board in our cosmology – the equations of general relativity are already complicated enough. * These equations, with some further assumptions, lead to a solution which implies the “ Big Bang.”The term “Big Bang” was originally proposed as a mockery by Sir Fred Hoyle, one of the opponents of the theory of the Big Bang. Science cannot explain what happened before the Big Bang (the laws of physics are said to simply break down there). * To keep the explanation of the current cosmology consistent with new observations, black holes were invented: objects which would absorb everything, even light. As some time later radiation was detected from the location where black holes were supposed to be, the theory was cleverly adapted. * “ Dark matter” was invented also to keep the observed velocities of certain objects in the universe in correspondence with the framework of gravitational cosmology. Concepts which were never seen or detected on earth, but are needed in order to explain recent observations. Currently one estimates that over 90% of the universe exists of this never seen dark matter (which by definition is not directly observable).Historically the first observations were done in the window of visible light, which is only a small part of the full spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Now, with modern equipment, we can observe the sky in almost any area ranging from X rays to radio waves. With the amazing power and precision of modern telescopes like the Hubble telescope in the Sky and the Very Large Telescope in Chile we are now receiving images of the sky with constant surprise and amazement.TRANSCRIPT

Cell biology (current scientific point of view):
It is by the DNA that most of our physical features are determined, hence the enormous interest in the search for the “human hence the enormous interest in the search for the “human genome.”The “genetic point of view” plays a dominant role in both biology and academic physical medicine.The “genetic point of view” sometimes interferes with the field of psychology too.
Ageless Wisdom
Time and Space are but states of consciousness.(AAB, Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle, p10)
There is no gravitation in the Newtonian sense, but only magnetic attraction and repulsion… it is by their magnetism that the planets of the solar system have their motions regulated in their respective orbits by the still more powerful magnetism of the sun, not by their weight or gravitation.
(HPB, Isis Unveiled, p271)
Ageless Wisdom
Believing but in the law of mutual magneto-electric attraction and repulsion… come to the conclusion that ‘universal gravitation is a weak force,’ utterly incapable of accounting for gravitation is a weak force,’ utterly incapable of accounting for even one small portion of the phenomena of motion.
(HPB, Collected Writings, V, p152/53)
The earth is a magnetic body; in fact, as some scientists have found, it is one vast magnet, as Paracelsus affirmed some 300 years ago. It is charged with one form of electricity — let us call it positive — which it evolves continuously by spontaneous action, in its interior or centre of motion.
(HPB, Isis Unveiled, I, p xxiv)
Ageless Wisdom (Oliver Lodge, Evolution and Creation, 1926)
1. Æther full of intrinsic circulation2. Everything flows, nothing is stagnant.3. Fusing of specks of æther into electric charges.3. Fusing of specks of æther into electric charges.4. Cohering of these charges to constitute atoms of matter.5. Agglomeration of matter into clouds endowed with rotation.6. Gradual increase of rotating speed until masses emit rays
which break into great stars of high temperature, the radiation loss from which makes them shrink into compacter stars from whence are born the germs of life.
7. Stars loose their substance, shrink, darken and perhaps ultimately disappear, leaving once more Æther and Radiation so that the whole process can conceivably begin again.

Sir Oliver Lodge in “Evolution and Creation” (1926) concludes:
Matter tends to be swallowed up by electricity again.Matter tends to be swallowed up by electricity again.
Ageless Wisdom
Fire by friction is to be somewhat understood by the scientists of the world, and we are harnessing to our needs the fire which heats, which gives light, and which produces motion. heats, which gives light, and which produces motion. This is in the physical sense of the words.
One of the imminent discoveries will be the integrating power of electricity as it produces the cohesion within all forms and sustains all form life during the cycle of manifested existence.

It produces also the coming together of atoms and of the organisms within forms, so constructing that which is needed to express the life principle.to express the life principle.
… This will be released in fuller measure during the Aquarian age, through the agency of the seventh ray. One of its earliest effects will be the increase of the understanding of brotherhood and its really scientific basis.

The etheric body is the next aspect of the world substance to be studied by scientists and investigators.
The time will be hastened if thinking men and women can formulate intelligent ideas anent this interesting subject.

magnetic (the electro-magnetic force is much, much stronger than gravity - 1039).
� Steady-state model: no begin, no end.� No Big Bang.� No need for black holes, dark matter, dark energy,… .

Plasma:
� A neon tube is filled with plasma.� State of matter less dense than gas � State of matter less dense than gas

i.e. not bound to atoms.� Within a plasma different bodies tend to form cells,
separated by a wall (double layer).

Plasma:
� Phases of plasma include (increasing electric tension):
o Dark: non-emitting.o Glowing: radiating light.o Arcs: lightning, thunderbolts.
� Plasma physics the same in the laboratory and in the universe.
� Only on a cosmic scale processes can take much longer time.

Cells
We are used to think of the cell as:
� Nucleus� Cytoplasm� Membrane
Wall� Wall
where the nucleus contains the chromosomes which are composed largely of DNA.Because DNA is thought to be the determining factor, we also believe the nucleus to be the ‘brain’ of the cell.
Cells
A simplified cross section of a cell, with nucleus, cytoplasm nucleus, cytoplasm and membrane.
Cells
Through the cell membrane positively charged particles are charged particles are mechanically, actively transported to the outside, whereas negatively charged particles stay on the inside of the membrane.Hence an electric potential.
Cells
The cell membrane contains special cells, called receptors which can selectively respond to other cells, called to other cells, called effectors, in the environment, thus telling the DNA how to behave.
Each second for each cell membrane there are approximately 10,000 biochemical reactions.
The study of these phenomena is called “epigenetics.”
Cells
The cell membrane plays a much more important role:It is the interface with the environment. environment. This environment determines how a gene
and its composing DNA will behave. And not the other way around!
If we want to compare the nucleus with the “brain” of the cell,we can compare the membrane with the “soul” of the cell.
This comes close to the morphogenetic fields of Rupert Sheldrake.
