Electric Swans™ will ignite many great breakthroughs in science and technology, medicine and art, culture and spiritual understanding. On the horizon, new theories of information, energy and electrodynamics will propel a massive shift in human creativity to one with more fluidity.

Hello, we’re Alice and we are always in a state of wander. Let’s dive in! As we move away from the current mechanistic approach to genetics to understand that the genome is much more fluid in nature, capable of being greatly influenced by many environmental factors such as nutrition, emotional states, spiritual beliefs, and yes, even bacteria—there will be greater personal responsibility for our life-long health creation associated with our energetic levels.

Non-local healing, consciousness and our human instrument

Electric Swans force us to ask new questions: "Can we evolve our materialist scientific methods, does wellbeing have a spiritual aspect?” For many, the answer is yes. Important signpost: the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) in their five-year strategic plan, hopes to get a conversation started about how they may thoughtfully include spirituality as one of the domains of research on whole person health.

Psychiatrist Anna Yusim, author of "Fulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life" (Grand Central Publishing, 2017) states “According to quantum physics, at a level of reality that is invisible to the human eye, everything and everybody is interconnected with one another and to all living organisms.” The point of connection between science and spirituality is everywhere. Literally. Spirituality sees the world as more complicated and connected than people perceive with their senses—quantum physics says the same.

Dr. Becca Levy, leading expert on the psychology of successful aging and author of "Breaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long & Well You Live" (Harper Collins, 2022) draws on ground-breaking research to show how age beliefs can be improved so they benefit all aspects of the aging process, including the way genes operate and the extension of life expectancy by 7.5 years. The results of Levy’s science offer stunning revelations about the mind, body, spirit connection. She demonstrates that many health problems formerly considered to be entirely due to the aging process, such as memory loss, hearing decline, and cardiovascular events, are instead influenced by negative age beliefs. If one form of energy can affect another, and if everything in the universe is entangled — it only makes sense that our “inner” world has an effect on our outer world.

Will spiritual journeys unveil our inner wisdom
to help us navigate our ability to heal?

Creative collaborations between MIT and Harvard-MGH hypothesize that oral supplements with L reuteri will boost oxytocin levels and favorable behaviors including empathy, altruism, and spirituality. Actionable outputs will inspire public health change, with vast potential to improve human existence. Scientific evidence implicates a gut–immune–brain axis in our sense of self, raising the possibility that our microbial partners and hormone oxytocin offer a sense of connectedness and liberate our ancestral archives to sustain us during challenging times. Taken together, this neuronal engagement forms the basis of our instincts, gut feelings, and intuition stored on the dusty shelves of our brains until times of need. In this way of thinking, a vast universal wisdom is actually a hippocampal directory of primal information accumulated across generations, and then passed to progeny via sexual reproduction, gestation, and nursing. These neurological archives help us navigate through difficult emotional and spatial journeys to find our way back to the safety of community.

“Perhaps meditations with our microbial muses summon our inner wisdoms for inspiration and salvation during challenging times. Mystical journeys reveal seemingly miraculous knowledge deeply rooted in our ancestral experiences. With feelings of gratitude, we thank our distant forebear holobionts for inner wisdoms that take care of us all.”—Susan Erdman PhD, Alice Archive Library, Principal Research Scientist in the Division of Comparative Medicine at MIT. Her research is funded by DoD, NIH and Templeton Foundation grants. She studies how bacteria and inflammation contribute to systemic health and diseases.

Mind-Body-Spirit and the impact on our technology

As society recognizes that thoughts and emotions are powerful modulators of our biological codes, new educational systems will arise to teach people how to control their emotions and thoughts through self-regulation biofeedback. This will rapidly advance the current field of Mind-Body-Spirit medicine and lead to a new collective awareness of the effect that our feelings and belief systems have on our health. The current science of psychoneuroimmunology is already laying the scientific basis for this new medical approach.

“As people come into their greater energetic awareness, which is happening over time throughout the world, as people come into their greater understanding about energy and their greater perception of it, it’s going to impact industry in a number of different ways. The electronic industry, the impact for the electronic industry will be to help begin to create devices that are more compatible with the human energy field, and to create devices that help to make the devices that already exist more compatible with the human energy field. It’s going to be important in the drug industry because medications may have energetic effects. Why is it that a drug like Prednisolone causes proximal muscle wasting? Well, the answer may be energetic, we don’t know. But it merits looking at. Energy will become an important factor, an important consideration in creating workspace and home space and in maintaining that. And how does our energy and working with our energy, can that impact machines? And can it help machines work more effectively and more efficiently? And, if it can, is that a learnable skill? I believe it is a learnable skill.”—Wendy Hurwitz, MD, Alice Archive Library, expert on Stress Mind Body Medicine, Graduate of Yale University School of Medicine, former medical researcher for ABC News, she has a forthcoming book on stress.
