With Magic and Magic Word
Friday, April 27, 2007
Since ancient times sacred names, magic words and mantras, as
well as specific symbols, have been attributed to “magic power”. Can their
effect today be confirmed with the help of measuring instruments? Does their
possible influence depend on the respective person who is using them, or do
words and signs have their own effect?
With the help of various tests in the field of alternative medicine the attempt
was made to elucidate this ancient riddle.
By Ulrich Arndt
For
centuries mankind has drawn strength from prayers and mantras, used talismans
and holy signs or specific magic words – for good purposes but sometimes also
for bad ones. The names of gods, guardians, angles and certain spiritual beings
are said to be effective in themselves. Esoteric books on the “cosmic
ordering-service” and the American “positive thinking” have made ancient forms
of religious requests and prayers popular again. “Modern forms” of different
magic words can be found in advertising today. Products receive catchy names and
smart, short slogans, which together with emotionally strong images and
repetitious TV commercials, are strongly impressed upon our memory. Surely
everyone has experienced a slogan coming to mind quickly when seeing a certain
product on the shelf of a store. But can the influence of ancient and new
“magic” words and symbols be measured and proven or is it negligible and minor?
The Effect of the Energies of Words
Six years ago, the images of water crystallization of the
Japanese Dr. Masaru Emoto caused a sensation in Japan and, in the following
years, also in Europe. They demonstrated that water can form different crystals
during freezing, depending on a spoken word. Positive terms such as “love” lead
to a more structured crystal than negative terms such as “demon”. Similar
changes were also observed with different harmonious or disharmonious pieces of
music.
The power of the word has been known from alternative medical research in
Kinesiology. It was discovered that the human organism positively reacts to
words such as “love” in the muscle test. In speaking a negative word such as
“hatred”, the candidate weakens his energy system. And it should be pointed out
that expressing or thinking a word has this effect, the candidates did not have
to try to fit the term emotionally. For it has been demonstrated by research
from the Californian “Institute of HeartMath“ that in fact emotions vehemently
change the organism. There the scientists stated that praise, recognition, and
love measurably harmonize the heart beat, strengthen the vegetative nerve system
and the immune system, support thinking and the ability to concentrate and
harmonize the entire human being. The same thing happens if the positive emotion
is only remembered or recalled. A word of recognition and a short beautiful day
dream, e.g. of a nice holiday at the beach, are pure medicine. All this shows
the positive effects of auto-suggestion and how important thoughts and words are
for ones own health. But are words effective as well, if they are not spoken
aloud, thought or heard? Is there an autonomous “magic” effect of holy names and
words?
This question was addressed at the LIFE-TESTinstitut. Dr. Manfred Doepp, a
member of the board at the Gesellschaft für Energetische und Informationsmedizin,
and Rainer Lüdtke, who works at the Institut für Medizinische
Informationsverarbeitung der Universität Tübingen, have successfully carried out
preliminary tests related to this question.1 The results of the tests were very
amazing for all participants. In double-blind tests English and German words
were written on slips of paper, which were folded and mixed. The candidates took
the slips into their hands without reading, and at the same time the values of
the meridian energies were measured with the help of a medicinal apparatus.
While measuring, neither the candidates nor the persons carrying out the test
knew which word was written on the slip of paper. Only at the end of all
measurements were they opened. The result was spectacular.
Indeed, some words significantly changed the human energetic level, they
increased or decreased the life energy of the person – bear in mind, without
being read! The most significant results were observed with the words “god”,
“love”, “guilt” and “sin” and in German “Liebe”, “Friede“ and “Hass“. In German
the word “Liebe” (love) has the most positive effect. “Friede” (peace) is
slightly negative and “Hass” (hatred) is distinctly negative. In English the
word “God” has a very strong effect and “love” is very positive, but the words
“sin” and “guilt” were distinctly negative.
Thereafter the tests were repeated, and the words were read silently. Here as
well the measurements turned out to show a similar tendency. Related to the same
words the reaction was also positive and negative. It was amazing that the
reactions were more distinct in the previous double blind test by “feeling” –
the word “love” was unconsciously felt even more positive and “hatred” more
negative. A word in the own mother tongue shows a stronger energetic effect than
the same word in a foreign language. Thus the energetic effect of the word
depends on the understanding during the “reading”, amazingly in the previous
feeling test as well. Persons who do not understand English do not react to the
English word either – neither when reading nor feeling. Only if a completely
unknown word is hidden in a nice advertisement or in a mystical ambience, do we
react to it again! Thus an “effecting word” obviously needs a cultural and
emotional background that is known to the test person. Is there somewhere deep
in ourselves the knowledge about the word and does a yet unknown inner authority
of consciousness recognize the word only by “feeling”, then this word does have
an effect on us – even without reading it. These sensational results of the
tests should make us more sensitive for a more conscious and careful use of
words. The humorous advice to sleep with a book under the pillow in order to
gather the contents may not really be helpful. But the single word “love”
written on a slip of paper can support our well-being “in a magic way”.
Cross, Ankh, Odil and OM
The secret influence of some words and the way their effect is
transmitted to us is already mysterious enough, but then the magic effect of
symbols and signs is even stronger. There have been some tests over and over
again, aimed at examining the effect of a symbol by measurement methods. The
most widely known tests are from Prof. S. Callahan and the esoterically
interested scientist Dr. Patrick Flanagan, an alternative water scientist and
inventor of the “neurophon” with the holy Indian symbol of Sri Yantra.2 They
discovered that the geometric form of the Sri Yantra is able to direct infrared
light coherently in the same way as a laser. The infrared waves oscillate in the
same pulse and go further and deeper into substances. This is a highly amazing
effect from a symbol. Indeed, the scientists were not able to grasp its
spiritual effect in this way. According to Indian teachings of wisdom, similar
to the original sound “OM”, “Sri Yantra” symbolises the holy sound of “OM” and
reveals in its geometry the universal knowledge of the creation. For millenniums
the symbol of Sri Yantra has been used as an aid for centering the mind and for
the harmonization of places energetically. Thanks to scientific tests it was
confirmed now that in fact the Sri Yantra does effect the arrangement of at
least certain light waves. An important hint of the general function of symbols
was discovered: they organize the “chaotic surroundings” in a typical way and
thus cause a subtle effect.
With
the help of standardized tests with a pendulum the radiologist Hartwig Fritze
examined the effect of symbols3 – of ancient holy signs as well as modern
company logos (which sometimes resemble old symbols amazingly). His tests with
various symbols with a size of 5 cm, showed a clear difference of the intensity
of their radiance. For instance, the energetic power of a roman cross is
perceivable per pendulum up to a distance of 1.5 m. The cross (in form of an
“Y”, similar to the ancient „Man“-rune) is still perceivable at a distance of
2.2 m and the Christogramm even at a distance of 3.2 m; the sign OM shows a
radiance of 3.6 m and the Egyptian Eye of Horus even radiates in a distance of
7.2 m.
But also company logos have such effects. According to Fritze e. g. the sign of
Mercedes is perceivable up to a distance of 1.8 m and the Shell (of Jacob) of
the petrol Shell company up to 1.7 m – they rank only little behind the force
fields of holy symbols. This means, even though one does not suppose that
nowadays symbols and signs generally are effective next to being optically
pleasant, they do have an influence on our energetic system. And this is all the
more true when it concerns symbols we wear directly on our body, like for
instance the logos of name brand clothes. Thus, when buying clothes we should
not only be aware of how the garment fits, but should also find out if we really
feel well in it.
In the old alphabets of the world such as the runic writing, Sanskrit and the
hieroglyphs, even single letters themselves have an amazing effect. The Odil
rune e. g. radiates up to 2.8 m, the Nyd rune up to 2.1 m; the As rune 1.6 m and
the Fe rune 1.5 m. Fritze also tested how the candidates energetically reacted
to the “magic power of letters” – and whether the intensity of energy fields
itself or also an associated quality of effect is relevant. Whereas the
energetic powerful Odil rune only showed a positive effect for one out of ten
candidates, the rather weak Fe rune was beneficial for no one, the influence of
the As und the Nyd rune were positive for all. Contrary to the previous
described effect of the words in the test, with these forces of symbol it was
not necessary that the candidates understood the ancient meaning of the letter
symbols.
The following tests of different symbols at the LIFE-TESTinstitut show that the
“magic” use of symbols is effective in a more universal way than the use of holy
names and word formulas. With the help of alternative medicinal diagnostic
devices measurements of meridian energies were carried out with the Prognos
device and the segmentary diagnostic (Segmentardiagnostik) per “Amsat device” as
a double-blind test. The geometric symbol “Flower of Life”, the Xiom amulet and
the symbols of the new energy jewels “Signs of Colour” were tested in their
effect on persons, without the candidates being able to see the symbols. The
measurements showed that the geometric form of the “Flower of Life” (which is a
well known energy symbol that can be found in all cultures of the earth), have a
balancing effect on meridian energies; the candidates were harmonized (20 %
showed a neutral effect).
On the other hand, the Xiom amulet, originally found in Egypt, increased the
energetic level and at the same time had a relaxing and mentally stimulating
effect, measured by the increase of Delta and Theta waves in the brain (with a
neutral effect in 40 %).
The four different glass amulets “Signs of Colour” with different energy symbols
also had different effects. The symbols are superimposed letters of runic
writing. In the tests the energy flow of the candidates was influenced in a
positive way by the aqua blue (called “harmony”) and the “crystal”-transparent
amulet (called “protection”) and for the rest of 20 % the effect was neutral.
Neither of the candidates showed a negative reaction. 60 % of the candidates
reacted positively to the orange coloured and green amulet (themes “love” and
“transformation”). 40 % of the candidates showed a decrease of the energy
level.4 Each candidate reacted positively to at least one of the theme related
symbols, and one was clearly rejected –in individual combinations.
With these tests of amulets and signs it is clear that symbols can have an
amazing energetic effect. But the real influence in quality and the spiritual
dimension of symbols and signs can only be determined to a small degree with
present-day measuring methods. If a symbol is really beneficial for a person,
should therefore be felt by the own inner attentiveness or perhaps with the help
of kinesiological muscle tests – but not only in regard to amulets, which we
consciously choose, but also to other logos and symbols of companies, by which
we are surrounded daily.
