Altered States of Consciousness and Perception

Normal 3d states of consciousness routinely morph into altered states of consciousness during energy work. ASCs vary in nature and depend most heavily on the natural attributes of practitioners.

Healers, for example, who are medically intuitive may perceive visuals ... images of a person's body with color highlights indicating areas of malfunction. Where one sees in color, another equally adept practitioner may sense via objects or sound … heavy metal contamination may look like an anvil or a frying pan, pinched nerves may sound like fingernails scraping a blackboard.

An intestinal blockage may make a healer feel like s/he is lugging a belly full of golf balls. Yet another may recognize the acrid aroma of dis-ease or catch whiff of an herb the body needs to augment its immune system. Many receive guidance from higher consciousness and angelic helpers.

There's no set standard in ASC perceptions … as a consequence, decoding them is a lot like interpreting dreams. With practice, however, workers become familiar with their personal penchants and develop repertoires for future reference.

My primary bent is toward the visual with auditory assists. What has become evident to me as well is that my role is often on the periphery. I work with environments surrounding subjects ~ which often turn out to be not people but the functional energies manifest in circumstances enveloping them.

One example of this is end of life transitions. In these settings, I am regularly an auxiliary facilitator, tasked with clearing emotional fields, subduing charged energy barbs and providing support in terms the individual as well as his/her relatives and friends accept.

While the calls I receive are sometimes local, the preponderance is non-local. 911 was the pivotal event that made me aware of my general propensity … it was also where it dawned on me that the supporting niche I fill includes assisting others also called to help.

There is no question whatsoever in my mind that many of us experienced analogous epiphanies then. It does not matter whether we are acquainted in 3d or cyberspace ... it's of no import if we are complete strangers from different lands ... the etheric connections created at that time, I have zero doubt, now serve as our operational templates when need arises and calls got out.

Entanglement Word Morph

Having danced with astral terminology, let's waltz with entanglement:

… the act of entangling
… the state of being entangled
… something that entangles; snare; involvement; complication*

Oh, for pete's sake, is it too much to ask a definition to exclude versions of the term it's defining?

Okay … let's take the backward step and look at entangle:
… to twist together or entwine into a confusing mass; snarl
… to complicate; confuse
… to involve in or as if in a tangle**

That's closer … no cigar, but closer. Obviously, the word entanglement isn't out of morph mode yet. In the mid-1930s, entanglement ~ as applied to quantum activity ~ was christened. The father of this baby: … Austrian theoretical physicist and winner of the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics, Erwin Schrödinger.

The word Schrödinger used, however, wasn't entanglement … it was verschränkung. As per The Center for Quantum Computation, there was loss in the translation:

"Entanglement" and "Verschränkung" are examples of translated words that indeed conjure up different images in their respective languages.

The German "Verschränkung" translates literally into English as "folding" or "crossing over", as in the folding or crossing of one's arms or legs.

The English "entanglement" translates literally into German as Verfangen, which is often used to describe a tangle of strings or of cables.

Both, it seems, bring out the correct notion of inseparability: the binding or linking of two systems in some physically fundamental way.

However, the meanings of these two are undoubtedly quite different."***

Quite different, indeed. German verschränkung implies far less anarchy than English's balled up entanglement version. It's important, ultimately, to keep this in mind because the bottom line is the difference in hodgepodge and harmony ... and that's a matter, whether we ponder the nature of the void or not, that underpins our personal world views and determines how we structure our lives. It certainly had an effect on Albert Einstein.

Einstein, who believed God didn't play dice with the universe and who had his own baggage when it came to quantum entanglement's non-local implications, objected. His take on the concept:

Spukhafte Fernwirkung ... aka ... Spooky Action at a Distance.

Well, spooky may be correct … but spooky doesn't mean it isn't true.
