In Power Vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants Of Human Behavior (2002), David R. Hawkins tells us about the presence of "attractor fields" in the realm of energy and human consciousness. He tells us that, "Each of us possesses a computer far more advanced than the most elaborate artificial intelligence machine available, one that's available at any time—the human mind itself. The basic function of any measuring device is simply to give a signal indicating the detection by the instrument of slight change. In the experiments to be described in this book, the reactions of the human body provide such a signal of change and conditions. As will be seen, the body can discern, to the finest degree, the difference between that which is supportive of life and that which is not." He goes on to say "This isn't surprising: after all, living things react positively to what is life supportive and negatively to what is not; this is a fundamental mechanism of survival. Inherent in all life forms is the capacity to detect change and react correctively—thus, trees become smaller at higher elevations as the oxygen in the atmosphere becomes scarcer. Human protoplasm is far more sensitive than that of a tree." Emotions are part of this human bio-machinery that discerns what is life supportive or not, and reacting to events at an emotional level is a natural part of this sensing mechanism.

We could say that the emotional field of a human being is the detection system of the human brain, which gives signals identifying thoughts and actions as supportive of life or not. He agrees with Esther Hicks that a negative emotion is an indication that one's thoughts or actions are out of balance with source, and a positive emotion is an indication of resonance. In the attractor field theory of David Hawkins, which is supported by other scientific research, is the proposal that there are hidden attractor fields within the realm of human consciousness, which, in effect, pull us, as with gravitational pull, toward what is supportive of life, the actions and thoughts most supportive of life resonating with the strongest field, and actions and thoughts which are the least supportive of life resonating with the weakest fields, positive and negative emotions being the indicators, to us, of these hidden fields. This is a fascinating way to look at emotions, to begin to understand their importance as direct messages to us about how to think and act in life-supportive ways.

Jane Roberts speaks of electromagnetic energy units, or EE units, in her books The Seth Material (1970), Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity Of The Soul (1972), The Nature Of The Psyche: Its Human Expression (1979),and Dreams, "Evolution," And Value Fulfillment: Volume I (1986). These EE units are produced by consciousness. They are made up of emotional, mental, and intent charges that come from consciousness in itself. They could be thought of as the messengers of consciousness that are sent out by the self to "fetch" the reality that matches them. I personally feel that this is a most interesting idea, and by working with the concept I have shifted my reality in many ways just by thinking of these little EE units as extensions of myself into physical reality that retrieve what I desire. The following are a few things that she says about these EE units:

"Each unit of consciousness (or CU for consciousness units) intensifies, magnifies its own intent to be—and you might say, works up from within itself an explosive spark of primal desire that ‘explodes' into a process that causes physical materialization. It turns into what I have called [an] EE unit… These EE units also operate as fields, as waves, or as particles, as the units of consciousness do—but in your terms they are closer to physical orientation. Their dye is cast, so to speak: they have already begun the special kind of screening process necessary that will bring about physical form. They begin to deal with the kinds of information that will help form your world. There are literally numberless steps taken before EE units combine in their own fashion to form the most microscopic physical particles…that will allow for the production of atoms and molecules impeccably suited to your kind of world. First, you have various stages of, say pseudomatter…that only gradually…coalesce and become physically viable, for there are endless barriers between the matter that you recognize and the antimatter of physicists' theories."

Roberts sums it all up by saying that electromagnetic EE units are "solidified emotions, with solidified subjective states, given physical materialization." This gives one much to think about pertaining to the actual creation of reality. These EE units work outside of and inside physical reality. For instance, the actual desire for something, like wishing for a new car, is a thought that consciousness is having. This is outside of physical reality. With this wish, the EE units that will create this manifestation are created and set into motion. They run around the universe, so to speak, and look for anything that will match this desire for a new car.

Now, if one were to "unwish" this with an inner dialogue like, "Oh, but I'll never have enough money for a new car" or "I don't deserve a new car," these EE units are neutralized and new ones are created and sent out to look for the appropriate matter that matches the reality manifestation. Of course, beliefs and thought-forms would be quite involved in the formation of these EE units, for they are made up of thoughts, emotions, beliefs and intentions.

In her book Feelings: Buried Alive Never Die (1991), Karol K. Truman talks about the energetic frequencies of all things. She says, "In any given matter, the closer together the vibrational frequencies, the higher the vibration and the closer the matter is to its source. She tells a powerful story to illustrate this fact:

"A very vivid and profound illustration of the power of feeling and thought frequencies was told by Dr. W. Jerome Stowell. Here is his story. "I was almost a devout atheist. I did not believe that God was any more than a conglomeration of everyone's mind put together, and the good that was there, that was God as far as I was concerned. As for the real, all-powerful God existing and loving us all, with power over everything, I did not believe that. Then one day I had an experience that really set me thinking. I was in a large pathological laboratory where we were attempting to find the wavelength of the brain. We found a channel of wavelengths…wherein the different wavelength of each individual's brain further separated an identity more clearly than are the fingerprints of each individual's hand…

"We wanted to make an experiment to discover what took place in the brain at the moment of transition from life to death. We chose first a lady whose family has sent her to a mental institution but who'd been discharged. The doctors could find nothing wrong with her other than the fact that she had cancer of the brain. This affected the balance of her body only. As far as her alertness of mind was concerned and in every other way, she was exceptionally brilliant. We knew she was on the verge of death and she was informed, in this research hospital, that she was going to die. We arranged a tiny pick-up in her room to ascertain what would take place in the transition of her brain from life to death. We also put a very small microphone, about the size of a shilling, in the room so that we could hear what she said, if she had anything to say. Five of us hardened scientists—perhaps I was the hardest of the group—were in an adjoining room with their instruments prepared to register and record what transpired.

"Our device has a needle pointing to zero in the center of the scale. To the right the scale is calibrated to 500 positive, to the left the scale was calibrated to 500 points negative. We previously had recorded on this identical instrument the power used by a 50 kW broadcasting station in sending a message around the world. The needle then registered nine points of the positive side.

As the last moments of this woman's life arrived, she began to pray and praise the Lord. She asked the Lord to be merciful unto those that spitefully used her, she reaffirmed her faith in God, telling him she knew he was the only power and the only living power. He always had been and always would be. She praised God and thanked him for his power and for her knowledge of his reality. She told him how much she loved him.

"We scientists had been so engrossed with this woman's prayer that we had forgotten our experiment. We looked at each other and saw tears streaming down scientific faces. Suddenly we heard a clicking sound on our forgotten instrument. We looked and the needle was registering a positive 500, desperately trying to go higher only to bounce against the 500 positive post in its attempt! By actual instrumentation we had recorded that the brain of a woman alone and dying in communication with God had registered more than 55 times the power used by a 50 kW broadcasting station in sending a message around the world."

This experiment makes one wonder if the emotional body has anything to do with the output of energy that comes from human experiences. Not only was there great mental activity in that room during the event of death, but also the activity of the emotional body in rapture and ecstasy. Is it possible in the future that emotions could be measured as to their electrical or magnetic output, perhaps even identifying frequency patterns?
