Energy Without Information Is Chaos!

In the previous blogs I discussed in detail what is meant by Energy is Everything! You are Energy! Everything in and around you is energy! To truly understand how you and the universe around you function we must be able to accept this premise. This is not my theory, this is scientific fact!

It is also necessary to understand the role Information plays in the total picture. The body is a complex array of energy and information systems (fields) that control our biological function or “dysfunction”! These Information Fields are located within us as well as, all around us and throughout the Cosmos! This subject can get extremely complex so  rather than have me ramble on from a lay person’s point of view, here is the best explanation of how information relates to        energy and our life in general, that I have found to date.

The following excerpt comes from Harry Massey and his book “Healing Your Self and Others Through Energy and Information ” which I highly recommend reading if you like this kind of information!

“What is reality anyway? To answer this question, we have to look beyond manifest reality, beyond the substance that makes matter appear solid. We know, in fact, that all matter, at the level of atoms and of electrons and other elementary particles, is mostly empty space. Most of us are familiar with Einstein’s equation E=mc2, where “E” is energy, “m” is matter, and “c” is the speed of light. It tells us that matter and energy are equivalent. It tells us that matter is pure energy, albeit energy that is in a dense form.

However, because science has mostly ignored the concept of information, we aren’t taught about the implications of how information plays into this insight. There are many philosophical debates about how to define “information.” In biology, information is often associated with pattern formation, with organizing principles—with how individual bits coalesce into a functioning whole where the sum is greater than the parts. Information drives a process called “emergence,” which explains how order arises from seemingly chaotic activities embedded in a process.

The body is a beautiful example of information, organization and emergence, for it starts from a single cell, which divides over and over, making trillions ofother cells, which then specialize into different kinds of cells (there are about 200 types of cells in the human body). Then those cells organize themselves into groups of similar cells, forming tissues and organs—until eventually they make a fully-formed and functioning human being. Information both describes the state of organization of a system and also directs the development of that system, from which “life” emerges.

It takes only a moment to realize that energy itself is not enough to describe and direct organization. Information must be included, because it is what organizes energy. Without information, energy would move chaotically. So, really, we need both energy and information. We need information to describe pattern and function and to organize the parts of the system into an ordered whole. Then we apply that information to energy, organizing it into patterns.

We can now write a new equation: Information + Energy = Reality.

When we apply this equation to the body, we come to understand in a whole new way how biology works. Research at the frontiers of biology reveals that the body is a structured network of information and energy fields. When we ask “What is a human being?” the most fundamental answer is just that—we are structured networks of information and energy fields. The great mystery of conventional biology is how we are “self-organizing” systems. Once the egg is fertilized, it knows what to do, with no outside influence or help.

For the human body, and nature at large, to function intelligently, they must have information. At every structural and functional level, different kinds and qualities of information are needed to keep the body in equilibrium, where it can maintain its optimal performance, which is one way to define health. These levels of information involve the various aspects of the body, from the cell level up to higher and more structured levels such as the organs and organ systems. It also directs less substantive but no less highly structured networks, such as our immune, nervous, hormonal, lymphatic, blood – and other – systems.

According to this view, the control centers of the body, such as the nervous system and brain, are really not command centers at all, but can be better thought of as accumulation points, where the controlling informational fields are concentrated. They are not exclusively responsible for the body’s physiological co-ordination, but are instead concentration points for some of the most intense and active high-level information fields. Even in such complementary medical theories as the Indian Ayurvedic system or traditional Chinese medicine, information is also at play, directing the chakras and meridian systems.

If you shift your perspective from what the word “matter” means in a conventional sense and instead view it—and the human body—as structured networks of information-energy fields, then many surprising insights arise.

It becomes obvious that what we see and experience through our senses is  energy that is dense (matter, light, etc.). We also perceive at an unconscious or subtle level, with our autonomic nervous system and subconscious and other aspects of ourselves reacting without our awareness, to the waves of information and energy that are coming from everywhere in the universe at once. As you increase your awareness and perceptual sensitivities, you are able to discern more of the information and energy spectrum, to which many psychics and people who have expanded their consciousness can attest. Being able to receive and transmit information more easily opens up a whole new world just waiting to be explored. This increased awareness can help you make wiser decisions about how you interact with the world and how you take care of yourself and your body. Information and energy, therefore, are the core of what we think of as the material world—the world of matter— and they are also at the core of what we acknowledge as the world of our individuality, of our personal perceptions and awareness.

In the next blog we will discus how our mind and our thoughts come into play as part of our Information System! In the mean time here is an interesting little  “lead in” from Bruce Lipton. This is Part 1 and Part 2 will follow next time!
