![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 3. A Matter of Energy
![]() The third insight claims that everything in the world has a field of sacred energy that we can interpret and use. He goes on to say that if we concentrate hard enough, we can affect the frequency of the aforementioned "coincidences" by directing more energy into our lives.
![]() "We now experience that we live not in material universe, but in a universe of dynamic energy. Everythin extant is a field of sacred energy that we can sense and intuit. Moreover, we humans can project our energy by focusing our attention in the desired direction (where attention goes, energy flows), influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives."
![]() Where is his proof? The subject unfortunately has been changed by now in the book, relieving him of any need to elaborate or produce evidence, and instead he simply proceeds as if what he has said has been accepted. I looked it up, and theres no evidence to prove that concentrating your attention to influence an area of your life works, in fact the idea is so harebrained that nobody has even bothered to waste their time researching it. He goes on to say that Issac Newton was proved wrong by Albert Einstein concerning the nature of energy. He mentions a few of Einstein's theories, such as the theory that matter isn't ultimately solid and that time is relative to the mass or speed of a particular object. This is all true, however it is also irrelevant to his argument. It doesn't prove that concentration in effect projects energy into a desired field of life, nor that the frequency of coincidences relies on this energy. He makes an ambiguous statement later in the chapter saying:
![]() "Other research in physics has discovered particles appear in two places at the same time or disppear and reappear in places totally inaccessible under the laws of the Newtonian worldview."
![]() And what research would this be? Note that he does not attribute anyone as his source of this information. When writing in argumentative form, this is a tactic writers use when they simply wish to flesh out their argument but can't find any dependable proof of what they're saying; thus its fleetingly worded in this case as "other research". What he really means is that this is his humble opinion, but that would look weak in the argument, so he makes out that it is a tried and tested theory, proven by professionals in the field.
