For some time, military laboratories have been working on secret technologies that reach far beyond the scope of conventional technology (e.g. the US military’s Philadelphia experiment in 1943, HAARP, et cetera). It is essential that global peace workers do to not react with projections of the occult toward technologies such as these, but instead respond with determination to use this kind of “secret” faculty to activate a global field of peace. These secret powers (powers of attraction, of resonance, of force fields) really do exist; they are inherent to life itself. Psychic powers are at our disposal if we are able recall and utilize them. We are working to overcome the collective barrier against thinking which has hindered generations from a similar mental and spiritual development in the intrapersonal and interpersonal realms as in the arena of science and technology. We human beings have caused the suffering on Earth; from a higher perspective it is self-evident that we need to and are able to reverse it.
With the decision to “switch off” war we rank ourselves alongside those people who make radical, life-long commitments to peace. I am thinking of, for example Gloria Cuartas, the former mayor of the Colombian city Apartadó, or Eduar Lanchero, speaker of San José de Apartadó, the renowned peace community with 1700 inhabitants, from which almost two hundred have in recent years been murdered by the military and paramilitary. During a peace pilgrimage that San José and Tamera carried out in Bogotá, Eduar stated,
The armed groups are not the only ones who kill. It is the logic behind the whole system. The way people live generates this kind of death. This is why we decided to live in a way that our life generates life. One basic condition, which kept us alive, was to not play the game of fear imposed upon us by the murders of the armed forces. We have made our choice. We chose life. Life corrects and guides us.2
Eduar died from a severe illness in 2012. The burden of the peace mandate he needed to carry in war-stricken Colombia eventually became too heavy. We remain connected to him. He, like Etty Hillesum, is part of our cosmic family.

Chapter 16: Healing in the Spirit of Oneness
Back to the Table of Contents
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.1
~ Albert Einstein
The writer Juergen Dahl narrates the wonderful story of the symbiosis between the bee and the sage plant.2 It is not a fictional story, but a scientific observation. He describes how the two species are tailored to one another in the minutest detail. Where does this come from? Did a great creator invent the sage first and then develop an insect perfectly adapted to it? Was it the other way around? Or is it simply a coincidence? In this example we recognize what a wonder creation is. It is not only the bee and the sage; all beings cohere with the whole down to the smallest details. Together they form a unity like that between the bee and the sage. Why does nature produce fruits that are “coincidently” delicious to human beings? Because the human being is one with nature. Why are humans equipped with cognitive organs with which we gain insight into the world? Because the human being is one with the world. Goethe brought the idea of unity into the sentence, “Were the eye not sun-like in itself, how could we see the sun?”3 It is a true mystery until one recognizes that it refers to the unity of the world.
In the spiritual domain the forces of healing work through reconnection with the whole. As soon as we are in this realm of oneness we are connected to that “something” that always heals. This something is within all beings. The laws of spiritual healing operate autonomically in this realm. We find ourselves in the space of oneness when we love, when we work creatively, and when we are focused on a higher goal. All of life is associated with this original power field. Only human beings are capable of withdrawing from it. However, we also have the option of reentering this field with another level of consciousness. The “Return of the Prodigal Son”4 occurs now – in the post-materialistic epoch – as an ethical, social, ecological, and political imperative. By returning to the spiritual realm of oneness, the human being opens to forms of healing inaccessible to him in the conventional biological and medical laws. These ways of healing are of course not new; they have been demonstrated to us by many healers. The shift from the physical to the spiritual dimension of healing is an aspect of the central system change we are going through today. This is what I mean by the term “transformation.”
The opening of the sacred space of oneness activates spiritual powers capable of reshaping material structures and of healing even the most serious illnesses. K.O. Schmidt describes the successful spiritual healing of a woman that had suffered from breast cancer. Suddenly a piercing pain traveled through her, after which the knot in her breast was gone. K.O. Schmidt concludes…
Is it possible, through spiritual ways of healing, to send a stream of divine love and divine life through soul and body which touches the realm of spiritual energy beyond the atoms and returns the atoms to their original, harmonious order, transforming the molecules in the twinkling of an eye?
Perhaps, when we put our hand into the hand of God and open up to the healing light, we touch the invisible, subatomic realm. In ways still unknown to us we thereby bring these electrons, protons, and neutrons into harmonious relation with one another and without time perceivably passing the cells of the body are immediately returned to their normal condition. Could it not be that way? It would not be beyond my grasp.
Spirit is the origin of human life. Our mental and spiritual imagination folds back to the body. If spirit arises beyond the Earthly, finer, higher frequencies pulses through the building of cells and bring about health. This is undoubtedly the effectiveness of laws, therefore no miracle, but reality, because alongside the laws of physics there are the equally unchangeable laws of spirit, of the spiritual world.5
If we struggle to comprehend the impact of spiritual powers on the material world, we can consider that at the micro scale material is not made of matter. At the subatomic level, precisely there where we have searched for the essence of matter, modern physics refers to energy fields or fields of potentiality (see Glossary). The material world is not composed of tiny particles, but fields. Thus it becomes quite imaginable that such fields are changed by the permeation of spiritual powers. I believe this understanding to be a basic element of the upcoming worldview. Spiritual healing will thus not be the exception, but the norm. We will heal by creating fields of sacred spirit. Every future community will be carried by this spirit. What today still seems unrealistic and divorced from reality will soon be common knowledge, for it is the way of collective healing.
Collective Healing
One area of spiritual healing work is distance healing. The spiritual long-distance effect takes place when the spiritual transmission (a thought or image) meets a corresponding point of reception in the consciousness of a person. Distance healing can also be applied to groups or whole regions. In order to be effective, healing information sent into the world must address the “collective subconscious.” The overarching information of Healing Biotopes, which we want to send into the world, will become effective when it is received in the collective subconscious of humanity, activating the archetypal picture of an intact world. This works – as has been describe
d above – when the information sent is compatible with the Sacred Matrix, which all human beings carry as a genetic pattern within themselves.
The phenomenon of mass healing is a special form of collective healing. The happenings at the mass gatherings of the American preacher Kathryn Kuhlman or the German miracle healer Bruno Groening show the power with which a healing message can enter people when a collective field is generated. Many people seen as incurably ill were suddenly healed. People walking with crutches put their crutches aside, paraplegics left their beds, those dependent on wheelchairs got up and walked, and the blind saw. I think this can teach us a great deal for the upcoming healing and peace work. The impossible becomes possible when we open other mental and spiritual doors.
We are facing a new assignment to spread knowledge in the current digital age. Awoken by the miracle of the digital world, we approach those similar miracles that require no technologies – the miracles of the spiritual world: the phenomena of spiritual information transmission, of telepathy and telekinesis, spiritual healing and distance healing, the wonders of prayers finding fulfillment, of spiritual guidance, and of new connections in the circuit of the universe. Evolution will not stop with the digital age. This could be the prelude to an era in which digital information technology is, bit by bit, complimented or even superseded by spiritual information systems.
Why do Religious, Therapeutic, and Moral Appeals Fail?
We are about to set out into a new world of spiritual healing for those near and far – for human beings, animals, landscapes, waters, and eventually the entire planet – but this triumphal march of spirit demands a different societal foundation. K.O. Schmidt, representatives of “New Thought,” and many others have time and again tried to initiate a worldwide healing movement. It has not come to be, for societal conditions have not allowed it. The concept of spiritual healing remains accessible to only a few people. A society in which people mistrust one another does not support spiritual healing. In the framework of the existing relations of production and power, spiritual healing exclusively remains a peripheral issue for some specialists.
Humanity has long sought healing and redemption. To this end we have developed many religious and therapeutic systems; we have tried following the “Sermon of the Mount,” the guidance of Buddhism, of bioenergetics, of positive thinking and so on. None of these systems have had long-lasting success, for the simple reason that they addressed the individual, not society. The societal causes of misery were not removed. The sick or evil individual was healed, but not the society that had generated sickness and evil. This was a fundamental flaw that foiled even our best efforts, for hardly anyone could be permanently faithful to the ethical and spiritual precepts of the divine within a society founded on war. To enable sustainable, long-term healing and liberation, the structures of society must be changed. Healing and redemption is thereby revealed as a social, political, and revolutionary issue.
This is the parting of the ways. Many people have wanted to lead a new and good life, but few were ready to step out of the old societal tracks. We have thereby remained in the old dichotomy – with on one side the “good,” leading ethical private lives, and on the other, the revolutionaries who abandon morality so as to reach their political goals. A new kind of revolutionary is now needed; one who changes society while following ethical guidelines because he has experienced life and love.

Chapter 17: It is Life Itself that Heals
Back to the Table of Contents
The French resistance fighter Jacques Lusseyran wrote a formidable report of the healing he experienced in the Buchenwald concentration camp. He was fatally ill and was left in the mortuary. There he observed, with full consciousness, as one organ after the next failed until he should have surely been dead. He was not dead however, but fully experienced life for the first time. He writes…
I watched the stages of my own illness quite clearly. I saw the organs of my body blocked up losing control one after the other, first my lungs, then my intestines, then my ears, all my muscles, and last of all my heart, which was functioning badly and filled me with a vast, unusual sound. I knew exactly what it was, this thing I was watching: my body in the act of leaving this world, not wanting to leave it right away, not even wanting to leave it at all. I could tell by the pain my body was causing me, twisting and turning in every direction like snakes that have been cut through.
Have I said that death was already there? If I have I was wrong. Sickness and pain, yes, but not death. Quite the opposite, life, and that was the unbelievable thing that had taken possession of me. I had never lived so fully before. Life had become a substance within me. It broke into my cage, pushed by a force a thousand times stronger than I... I drew my strength from the spring. I kept on drinking and drinking still more... That was the one battle I had to fight, hard and wonderful all at once: not to let my body be taken by the fear. For fear kills, and joy maintains life.1
Lusseyran recovered soon after. It was not medicine that healed him; it was life itself! Life is unfathomable, unlimited, and eternal. It is the unknown variable beyond all things. It shines with a sacred light originating from unknown sources. Life itself is full of healing powers, which are not yet explained by science. It is life that carries out miraculous healing in the same way as it carries out all the other daily miracles: sprouting plants, bleating sheep, playing children. Life itself is the unknown master who generates and directs this all. All the magnificence we have projected into God belongs to life itself.
Love is a particularly intimate state of being in life in which very special healing powers become effective. Arcady Petrov represents a group of doctors in Moscow who are carrying out pioneering work in this field. Petrov describes the case of a man so severely injured in a car accident that he had no medical chance of survival. With the help of a nurse with psychic ability, the medics activated the man’s love for his two-year-old daughter. His organs suddenly began working again; the patient became healthy and was released from the hospital after only four weeks.2 It was love that guided his entire organism from imminent death back to life! Life and love are healing powers par excellence as soon as they are freed from all cages and blockages. We hold the achievement of lasting love as a primary goal in our work. Do we have enough power within us to imagine a world driven by the essential forces of life and love?
The Principle of Self-Healing
We can picture the universe as a giant organism, which constantly receives information from its organs and returns corresponding impulses. Whenever a disturbance occurs anywhere, powers are mobilized, like in a cybernetic circuit, to remove it. When people create wounds in nature, through for example mines and quarries, the healing forces of the Sacred Matrix are set into motion. At the point of injury healing plants arise; the biotope cures itself. The information necessary for healing the place is recalled from the cosmos and activated. This is the self-healing and self-organization we can observe everywhere in nature, including our own bodies. When I have cut my finger cellular processes instantly begin operating to close the wound. The organism knows which correction is needed. W
e ourselves are this organism; we actually know what corrections are necessary and how our human life would look if it were in order. The idea of planetary Healing Biotopes developed from the application of these observations to the social and political realm.
Where nature is destroyed to the degree that it can no longer receive and make manifest the cosmic information of the Sacred Matrix, we can help it along by giving a “kick,” restoring its receptiveness to healing information and to its inherent impulses. We can do this by, for example, creating a Water Retention Landscape on degraded land, as seen in the work of the aforementioned Austrian ecologist Sepp Holzer.3 Nature responds immediately, and in a short time we might have, depending on our intention, a blossoming landscape or a fertile Permaculture farm.
The human organism is, in like manner, no longer able to fully absorb cosmic healing information because our channels are blocked. We are blocked by what Wilhelm Reich refers to as body armor (see Glossary) in the heart, belly, and sexual areas, but above all, by the collective trauma which is written into our entire cellular system. In order to restore the receptiveness of the human organism to cosmic healing, it needs a kick strong enough to dissolve the old blockages. This kick could be an experience of love, of death, of God, or of witnessing misery in crisis areas. It could be a decision to work, an observation of animals, an experience of a functioning community, or of friendship. Participation in a collective peace action or in the creation of Terra Nova can also restore our connection to cosmic healing information.
