Assumption:
Physical reality is an illusion created
by our five senses. Matter consists of interrelat-
ing energy fields vibrating at different frequencies.
Most people have a difficult time coming to grips with
the idea that our physical reality is an illusion created
by our senses. Ken Carey confirms the difficulty we
144
have grasping this concept. In his book, which was a
channeled work, the souls
talking through him
made
an interesting observation.* They said that when they
got inside Carey’s body and experienced all his senses,
they were simply amazed. Only then did they under-
stand why human beings felt the physical world was
real. Our senses make the illusion so convincing that
even these disincarnate souls appreciated why we
would have great difficulty getting beyond it. Indeed,
it is difficult to remember that the physical world is sim-
ply an illusion. However, we are beginning to move in
a direction that fosters that memory. Recently, scien-
tists have begun talking about the human body in terms
of a
mind/body continuum
.
Such terminology gives
us the sense that our bodies are, indeed, more than
cells, molecules and atoms. Energy science tells us
that, in reality, our bodies are
dense condensations
of interrelating energy fields
and that, just like a holo-
gram, all matter consists of energy vibrating in certain
patterns
.
Holograms are those seemingly real, three-
dimensional images created by laser beams. Quan-
tum physicists have theorized that the entire universe
is a hologram and everything in it, including each one
of us, is a hologram as well.
Some energy fields vibrate at frequencies that enable
them to be observed and measured. They can be given
physical qualities like weight, volume, hardness, and
fluidity. We give such energy patterns names like wood,
steel, leather, or whisky. Everything physical simply rep-
resents energy vibrating at a rate we can
detect
with
our five senses.
Yet, this concept seems strange to us. We have devel-
oped such faith in our five senses to detect the physi-
cal world around us that we have difficulty imagining
that our bodies consist of more than just what we can
see and feel. Yet, in a very real sense, the physical
world is an illusion
created
by our senses.

Consider for a moment one of the metal beams hold-
ing up a building. It looks solid enough, and our senses
of touch and sight tell us that it is solid, as well as strong
and heavy. However, we also know that this beam is
composed entirely of atoms and, furthermore, that each
atom is composed of a nucleus of protons and neu-
trons around which orbits, at ultra high speed, one or
more electrons.
To get a feel for the spatial relationship between the
nucleus and the electron, imagine a basketball sitting
in the middle of a football stadium. Now imagine an
object the size of a golf ball orbiting the basketball at
several thousand miles per hour and describing a circle
with a diameter as large as the stadium. This gives us
a rough picture of the kind of size difference we are
talking about between an electron and a nucleus and
the immense space between them.
From this, we can say that an atom is composed of
somewhere around 99.99% space. Since matter is
composed entirely of atoms, matter must be composed
of 99.99% space. Thus, the aforementioned metal
beam is 99.99% space.
You
are 99.99% space as well.
The beam looks so dense for the same reason that an
electric fan when running looks solid. When such a fan
is not rotating you can see the spaces between the
blades, and you can put your hand through those
spaces. When the blades spin very fast, you can no
longer see the spaces. In addition, if you try putting
your hand between the blades, they feel like an impen-
etrable wall. Like a fan’s blades, any piece of physical
material is comprised of a mass of electrons spinning
so fast that they appear solid to our senses.
If the electrons in the beam holding up the building were
to stop spinning, the beam would disappear in an in-
stant. If all the other electrons around it stopped spin-
146
ning too, we could imagine the whole building disap-
pearing.
No debris would be left, no dust, nothing. To
a viewer, it would appear that the building had simply
evaporated or disappeared.
Matter is simply vibration — nothing more, nothing less.
Our senses are tuned to these vibrations, and our minds
convert them into matter. Sounds weird, but it's true.
