My neighbor on vox, farfaraway http://farfaraway909.vox.com/ posted this today and I'm passing it on:
"The truth is that our bodies are holograms in which every part contains information about the whole. We know from quantum physics that at the subatomic level, matter and energy–which can also be called spirit–are interchangeable. The best expression of this that I have heard is that matter is the densest form of spirit and that spirit is the lightest form of matter. We can view our bodies as manifestations of spiritual energy. Our mind and daily thoughts are part of this energy, and they have a well-documented effect on matter and our bodies. The quality of our daily thoughts and emotions actually sets up an electromagnetic field around us (and every cell in our bodies) that attracts to us our vibratory equivalent. This tendency is known as the law of attraction and is the most fundamental law that governs the universe. Like is attracted to like. As we vibrate, so we attract."
