Foreword

If you want to know someone who all his life hoped to find out everything about “energies”—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual—and how we can activate them for health, these chapters are for you. In addition, they are an autobiographical adventure story, for Norman Shealy almost always tested the energies himself. For instance, when we were investigating psychic surgeons in Manila and surrounding territory, he allowed himself to be a subject—something that Alyce and I didn’t want to experience. After all, if a so-called “spiritual healer” can insert a hand into your body and stroke your heart, as Neo did for Trinity when she was wounded by gunshot in The Matrix Reloaded, would you, as a medical investigator, allow yourself to be the “experimental subject” as well? Norman did—and the reason was, and still is, that he “personally” wanted to test everything that was said to be therapeutic whenever he had a chance. Fortunately, certain “chances,” such as open-heart surgery, seldom come.

The first few chapters of this book will be news for non-medical people, but the chapters on acupuncture, electrotherapy, and forward will have “news” of the Edgar-Cayce type for everyone. After all, we are “empty creatures” in the physical sense, for all structures in us, physical/emotional/mental, are spiritual realities in a spectrum of densities. And the questions are: “Who are we—we who are encased in a fabric of energies?” And, “How can the multiple outside ‘energies’ of the Kosmos be used to keep the fabric healthy?

Those are Norman’s questions, and his discoveries and organization of knowledge make fascinating reading. In succeeding years, he may change some of his theoretical positions, but even Columbus didn’t have every detail right the first time. But like Columbus’ descriptions of what he found and saw, this book is history in the making.
