The first person known in Western history who developed a scientific model of life

The first person known in Western history who developed a scientific model of life energy was Franz Anton Mesmer. He called life energy "animal magnetism." He developed methods to magnetize ("mesmerize") people for healing. He also set up devices that seemed to cause a healing. These devices were wooden barrels that he had filled with iron filings and that had iron rods sticking out. People who wanted a healing held these rods in their hands.

History has shown us that we can accomplish seemingly impossible feats

History has shown us that we can accomplish seemingly impossible feats by applying the laws of Physics properly.

Like any other emerging technology Psionics is widely misunderstood. The principles that are at work in "Causal Engineering" are the same principles that created the universe and all life in it. The mind, when properly trained and utilized can bring about Causality. Things considered "paranormal" are normal, you can create your own reality suited to your needs.

The promise of Psionics is personal freedom. You can unleash the potential in your mind and bring about tangible changes in your life. The reason it can do all these things is that it harnesses the universal energies required to do these things on your behalf.

Imagine you having the mental discipline of a Kung Fu Master, or the creative abilities of a famous actor.

Philosophers have written countless works that explain these principles in the technology of their time. This is the missing "key" to understanding the secrets of personal power.

We have to apply these principles utilizing the technology of "our" time. There is no secret to "magick" or "sorcery" these are examples of Causal Engineering. What is it that makes a great spokesman?, Personal magnetism is the usual answer. A more accurate answer would be that the person has learned to maximize his or her potential causality. The simplest way to explain it is "Focused Intent". It's the look in the eyes of the Athlete breaking a record, or the transformation of an actor into the role he/she is taking on. They are changing the frequencies output by their natural bioelectric body to mimic those of others, or in the case of the athlete to provide "superhuman" abilities.

We often hear that Adrenaline can make a 110 pound woman strong enough to lift a car to save a pinned person. Have you ever wondered what keeps the bones from breaking or the arms from being pulled out of the sockets. It's not Adrenaline it's Focused intent summoning the power of the universe to temporarily strengthen the molecular structure of the bones and tendons to withstand the load.

Among the ancients, all religion was more or less a mystery

Among the ancients, all religion was more or less a mystery, and hence religions, and especially the mystery of religions, were closely associated with philosophy. Among pagans, the multitude of allegories and symbols in the religions became accepted as realities, and the worship of celestial luminaries, imaginary deities with human passions, appetites and lusts, and of idols in the forms of stones, animals and even reptiles was commonplace.

The animal that coils in a circle is the serpent

"The animal that coils in a circle is the serpent; that's why so many cults and myths of the serpent exist, because it's hard to represent the return of the sun by the coiling of a hippopotamus."
