The Science of
Circulatory Health: A Key to the New Civilization
© 2009 by Gordon Davidson
The Origins of
Circulation
Full circulation to all parts of any organism is the
key to health, whether humans, nature, or our planet as a whole. Just as
stagnant water is unhealthy, and flowing water is oxygenated and generally
healthier (if it not polluted from other sources), so flowing energy in all
dimensions tends to be healthier for living systems. Our blood must circulate
freely to bring oxygen and nutrients to all our organs, and our nervous system
needs to circulate information to keep us safe and well-functioning.
Resources, goods, and services need to circulate widely around the world to
ensure the well-being of all life.
While any form exists, it is sustained by the
circulation of light energy, which is stepped down into light substance.
Energies flow from the more subtle, spiritual realms and are stepped down into
the denser, material realms. Forms in each dimension require specific types of
energies. Humans, for example, need circulating energies of air, water, food,
and sunlight to live and thrive, as do animals and plants. But humans also
require an exchange with other human beings. Every form of life is fed by a
web of circulating energies flowing to and through it from multiple
dimensions, many hidden from human view.
As it’s said in the Ageless Wisdom, all parts of the
solar system are interdependent; all the forces and energies are in constant
flux and mutation; all of them sweep in great pulsations, through a form of
rhythmic breathing, around the entire solar system.
Human beings and all life in the universe receive
prana (life energy) and active radiatory heat from the sun, which varies in
vibration and quality according to the life which receives it. Each life form
then changes and colors this energy and passes it on to other life forms. The
circulation of energies of all types, throughout all systems and all life, is
a key causal factor in all activity, experience and growth towards ever
greater perfection.
Karma also circulates. As it’s said, “what goes
around, comes around”—we reap what we sow. Causes we set in motion return to
us, providing opportunities for learning and growth. Many of the problems and
issues we face in the world today are karmic patterns of thought and emotion,
some set in motion centuries ago, which are still circulating today. The only
way to be freed from karmic cycles is to cease initiating new cycles of
negative causes and cultivate forgiveness for all past actions.
Health as Balances Circulation
In recognizing the principle of circulatory flow as a
core organizing principle of all life, humanity aligns itself with a great
Cosmic truth. We can then clarify what needs to be done to facilitate, enhance
and modulate the circulation of energies through every system, whether among
organs or energy centers in the human body, among other human beings, or among
humanity and the kingdoms of nature. All require a balanced circulation of
life force, light and positive intention to be truly healthy, life-giving
organisms. For example, humans exhale carbon dioxide, which plants use as
food, and plants in turn exhale oxygen which human beings then inhale, in a
life-giving, circulatory cycle.
Health, then, is the fully energized flow of life
force or vitality, which is determined by the benevolence and scope of a
human’s purpose, combined with the love consciousness and intelligence of the
soul. This is also true of other organisms, whether animal, plant or mineral.
Healing or “healthing” occurs through the removal of blockages due to present
or past causes, as well as excessive, inadequate or misplaced energies in any
part of the organism. Once the blockages have been identified, then a wide
variety of techniques can be employed to dissolve them and reestablish healthy
circulation. The greatest aid in this is conscious, watchful awareness to
register and record where the difficulties lie, and a commitment to resolve
the blockages or overstimulation in a particular area of life. This restores a
balanced flow to circulate and nurture all parts of the organism.
Spiritual Circulation
Greater circulation is needed on the spiritual,
mental, emotional or physical levels of our being. The greatest barrier to
circulation of spiritual energies on a planetary level is a lack of access by
many people to these high frequency, subtle energies that can help transform
the world. There is also a lack of properly attuned and aware people who can
register and work with these energies even when they are stepped down to more
accessible levels. Thus all training in meditation, inner attunement, and
sensitivity to higher energies contributes to humanity’s increasing ability to
understand and ultimately direct these energies --to circulate love, light and
spiritual purpose throughout the inner dimensions of the planet.
When humans develop the capacity to specifically
circulate spiritual energies to a region of the planet that is particularly
blocked or in crisis, such as the Middle East, they can assist those Spiritual
Forces who are ceaselessly working to bring love and light into active
engagement with human affairs. Working in a co-creative way, we can create a
pathway of solution for seemingly intractable problems. These energies work
like the leaven in the loaf to help create change by raising the frequency of
the entire human context, so that new solutions and approaches can be
visualized, experimented with, and ultimately successfully applied.
This work is powerfully enhanced when done in a group
or intergroup formation. This logarithmically enhances the effectiveness and
power, because a group provides a wide range of consciousness and
interpretations about the situation and issues. The different areas of focus
within a group consciousness lead to a wide spectrum radiation of energies,
covering many different levels of life in that location.
Mental Circulation
The work of identifying and eliminating blockages to
the flow and circulation of life energies can also be carried out on the
mental plane. Many of the problems in human life are the result of ancient
patterns of thought which are crystallized into massive thought forms. These
hold distorted ideas and interpretations which block the inflow of new,
lighted ideas.
An example of an old distorted idea is the concept of
survival of the fittest and the competitive model of human development. This
outmoded thoughtform stands in opposition to brother/sisterhood and the
reality that all life on the planet shares in the One Life. This idea is
slowly being worn away by the new thinking resulting from the greater light
pouring into humanity's mental field. Humanity is awakening and recognizing
the truth that we are one interdependent, interwoven species inextricably
linked to all kingdoms of life on the planet. Our only hope for a better
future is to ensure the circulation of life and light to all aspects of human
and natural life on our planet.
New ideas flowing in from spiritual dimensions and
circulating through the mental field of humanity are often picked up by
intuitive, open minded thinkers around the world at the same time. This has
happened with many discoveries and inventions. Higher vibrational messages
also circulate through our mental synapses at very high speeds, giving us
flashes of inspiration or insight.
Creative ideas are often generated through mental
circulation modes such as brainstorming, where human minds get excited by the
rapid circulation of ideas and spark off each other. The internet circulates
mental energy and ideas around the planet very effectively in ways that both
enlighten and harm humanity.
Emotional Circulation
Emotional energies circulate through the emotional
bodies of humanity, creating tsunamis of emotion that can sweep through entire
populations, causing fear, anger or jubilation, and even move around the
entire planet. This is studied by researchers in what’s called “mob
psychology”. We have seen waves of fear and anxiety, for example,
circulating through the human emotional field with crises in the world
financial and economic systems. We’ve also seen positive examples, such as the
world celebrations of the new millennium in 2000, as a wave of inspiration and
joy moved around the planet in celebrations in each time zone
Because so many members of the human family are
emotionally focused in their daily lives, the transmission throughout the
human family of emotions, positive or negative, occurs rapidly and with
relatively little resistance. This fact is fully utilized by those negative
forces and who wish to keep humanity lost in its emotional reactions, and
unable to think clearly about their manipulations. One of the great services
we all can render is to maintain our center of spiritual intuition, to provide
clarity of understanding amidst the chaotic emotions circulating through the
planetary field. This is a core discipline needed at this time of crisis
within humanity.
Positive emotions, experienced in the heart, such as
generosity, compassion, peacefulness, joy, and a steady commitment to making
your highest contribution, can function as a great stabilizing influence on
the planetary emotional field. Positive emotional energy generated through
the arts, such as music and dance, can also circulate beneficial energies
through the planetary field. The circulation and synthesis of many different
types of music from multiple cultures and countries into a new “fusion music”
or “world music” is another beneficial example.
Recognizing the divine nature of all human beings and
all life is a contribution we all can make, regardless of who we are.
Maintaining a positive emotional and heart field around yourself and radiating
this to others is a sign of a highly developed spiritual individual or group.
Physical/ Etheric Circulation
If we look at our planet today as a living organism,
on the physical/etheric levels we see a gigantic imbalance in the flow and
circulation of energies throughout the body of the planetary being. We see
that some parts of the planet are suffering from severe material deprivation
-- a lack of basic resources for life -- food, shelter, clothing, health care,
education and economic opportunities. In other parts of the planet there is
over accumulation of energy and excessive wealth, resulting in all the
diseases of excess-- pollution, obesity, stress, and often massive spiritual
malnutrition and deprivation.
The collective ills of humanity today closely
correspond to disease in an individual. The key for well-being in an
individual is sharing or circulation, and likewise for the well-being of
humanity. Chinese medicine, which defines illness as too little or too much
energy in one location in the body, would say that our planet has phlebitis --
massive clots or blockages of energy in its economic and social body. There is
a lack of the free flow of the necessities of life to all members of the human
family and the nature kingdoms. Only through humanity's recognition of the
principle of sharing will our disastrous human situation be resolved.
One of the ways this blockage is being resolved is
that people are circulating more rapidly and freely around the world,
migrating to countries where there are economic opportunities and relative
safety and security. Many European nations with strong social safety nets have
attracted large numbers of poor immigrants, legal and otherwise, from Africa
and the Middle East. This circulation contributes to a greater circulation of
resources to greater numbers of people, balancing economic resources
throughout the world.
Free trade policies, although unfairly designed to
favor the Western developed countries and often harmful to workers and the
environment, are also promoting much needed economic circulation throughout
the world. World trade with formerly isolated societies, such as China, is
also positively impacting them politically and culturally, leading eventually
to more openness.
Worldwide circulation through vacation travel is also
increasing, and creating more tolerance and respect for different cultures and
traditions. Travel to pristine places of natural beauty is also growing,
exposing people to the healing power of the wilderness, and also leading to
initiatives to protect environmentally sensitive areas for future generations.
As humans enjoy the peace and harmony of nature, we circulate our loving
energies to nature and it responds in kind.
Conclusion
The principle of circulation is present in every
aspect of life and can be a guideline for us in considering what is the right
course of action in different circumstances. We can ask, “Does this proposed
activity, policy or principle promote circulation to all parts of the whole,
or does it create blockages and hindrances? Will the health of the organism(s)
be enhanced by a greater flow of information, resources, love and
consciousness by the choices we are making?”
Thus the cosmic principle of circulation becomes a
practical tool we can use to guide our way forward into the new civilization,
so the Good, the Beautiful and the True can freely flow and circulate to all
parts of the system.
