"built-in" review
You are an energy field. You might think of the concept of the human aura and think of that as an energy field around your body. In fact, the dense matter of your body is also energy. Your body is the densest part of that field and what has been classically referred to as the "aura" is the least dense part of that energy field. Yet what you experience is a heavy, earth-bound vessel that you experience as "physical" and dense. Still your body generates electricity, an electromagnetic field, and nuclear force. You are an amazing vortex of spinning and interactive energies. Yet all of these energies are locked into place by one "master" energy, and that is Gravity.
We have discussed the fact that you have an interior, psychic correlate or elemental to Gravity, which I refer to as EFFORT in these lessons.We took a look at the intimate role that Gravity plays in our own lives in the Gravity section of this course. We learned that Gravity influences and controls much of our experience as physical beings. As physical beings were are bound by the influence of Gravity in more ways than one. Resisting Gravity develops strength within us: not only physical strength but a type of psychic strength that we refer to as "EFFORT" in these lessons. The exercise of Focused Sitting promotes tremendous amounts of mental strength and can be adapted for use by anyone.
Not only are you and I an energy field, but we live within an ocean of energy. The visible world as it appears to our eyes and our other senses, is really nothing more than a collection of tiny moving particles seemingly held into place by energy relationships. You have heard the cliché by now, that even a solid wooden table is really a mass of moving, spinning particles that have significant amounts of space between them. "Solid" is really nothing more than our perception/relationship with what we perceive as objects.
Every person you come in contact with,
every person you know, is an energy field. Your eyes do not directly tell
you this but this is now something we as a species know about our physical
condition. Every person you encounter is a mass of spinning atoms
and subatomic particles. Each atom and each particle communicates
with each other to produce the overall effect. One central energy, directly
connected to what we think of as the "lifeforce" , is the energy of electricity.
We know that our bodies depend upon electrical currents and functions.
The human brain, the heart, the nervous system, all involve electrical energy.
When you think of of all subatomic communications occurring within your
body, along with all of the electrical communications taking place, is it really
such a leap to think of empathic communication between living things?
Electricity results from an electromagnetic
field. Electromagnetic fields result from electricity. Electromagnetic
fields are everywhere in our world. Living things all generate
electromagnetic fields. You are a walking, talking, breathing, thinking
electromagnetic field. You live in an ocean of electromagnetic
energy. The physical world itself emanates an electromagnetic field and the
civilization in which you live utilizes electromagnetism extensively in the
technology which supports it.
It is not my intent to take away the charm
and the romance from empathic communication. But I would like to suggest that
the possibility of "psychic" communication is not really so supernatural or as
fantastic as we used to think. There is plenty of possibility and
even probability that communications take place from person to person at the
imperceptible level of energy, especially electromagnetically. My purpose is
not to provide a scientific platform here, instead, it is to suggest a grounded
approach to understanding empathic communications from all levels - from the
perspective of our experience, rather than empirical observation.
I strongly suggest that Empath students to read the book "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot in order to gain an intelligent perspective of psychic functioning and to overcome "old school skepticism." Take time from these lessons to complete the book. It will enhance you study of the Psychology of Energy many times over.
As we start our discussion of
Electromagnetism, we begin to look at the inner workings of the human being. Due
to this, our focus will change and a great deal of this material will center on
what will be called "EM Nodes." This is of special interest to Empaths because
here is where we "live" so to speak. The very essence of our experience as
Empaths occurs on the inner levels of mind and being, which have been mapped out
through "Nodes." What we are receiving as communication also comes
from these inner levels (Nodes) of the people around us. Here is where we
should specialize but in reality, here is often where we are the least informed.
It is not necessary for an Empath to get a degree in Psychology – although it would be highly relevant. Yet it is important that you, as a developing Empath, take the time to learn the common issues which affect all people around the world; issues that are the result of human biology and psychology. Being well informed as an Empath only increases the amount of support and resource you have available to you.
EM Energy/Innergy
Electromagnetic energy is referred to as the Alpha level within these lessons. You were introduced to Alpha in the first course on Dreamtongue. You will not need a scientific understanding of electromagnetism to appreciate the influence it has in your life.
First, let's think about the nature of Alpha communication. Remember: Alpha communication is related to a sense of feeling attraction or repulsion – push or pull. What does that sound like? Yes, magnets. If you put the opposite poles of magnets together they instantly attract. If you put the same charge poles of magnets together, they resist and push apart. People behave very much the same way as magnets but the polarizing comes from a "psychic" or psychological place more so than a "physical field of electromagnetism." So, just like we looked at outer Gravity and inner Gravity, we will also look at outer EM (electromagnetism) and inner EM.
That last reference alone should have caught your eye and your interest. The initials for electromagnetism, EM are also the first letters of the word EMpath. Here you will be learning about your first set of truly empathic skills and the way electromagnetic relationships play out in your life: through EMotion.
In the "Gravity section" we talked about the Master energy Gravity and how it controls our inner and outer worlds. But there is oh, so much more to us than that. We can now talk about what it takes to escape or transcend the influence of Gravity. There is a phrase I like to use as a metaphor, "Escape Velocity." Escape velocity is the speed & energy required for a rocket to break out of Earth's gravitational field. As an Empath you can learn to develop your own personal level of escape velocity and achieve an energy state that transcends your own inner Gravity, in order to reach higher states of consciousness and perception.
This is the beginning of a great adventure.

Escape Velocity
So, just like we looked at outer Gravity and inner Gravity, we will also look at outer EM (electromagnetism) and inner EM.
For research into electromagnetism I recommend the Fusion Anamoly site for it's "TechnoShamanism" twist to the subject: Electromagnetic . It is not a formal science site, it is a "curiosity and interest" site.
Our primary interest is in working with energy from our own subjective level of experience. For the purpose of these lessons we will refer to shifts in the EM field and states of EM as "EMotions." Emotional states are forms of EM states that are of particular interests to EMpaths.
As an EMpath you are particularly interested in emotions. The popularized image of an Empath is that of an individual that can read, sense, and interpret the emotions of others -remotely, or otherwise. The appeal of the Empath concept was essentially around the idea of someone who could read hidden emotional and mental states of others. This is entirely probable, but as you may have already ascertained from these lessons that I promote the idea that Empaths can read VISIBLE as well as INVISIBLE signs. This has been a source of controversy (for some reason) due to individuals who become offended that I suggest that Empaths can ALSO read visible signs. I see no reason why we, as intuitives, should ignore 90% of the information available to us. It does not at all detract from our intuitive abilities. Instead, it ENHANCES our abilities and grounds our efforts. We want to be grounded in our efforts, otherwise we get written off as another "lunatic fringe" and dismissed as superstitious and self-deluded.
If you have been following the lessons in order, you will understand that I like to refer to "circles." Circles are pieces of information that have holographic properties whereby a unified relationship exists between two conditions. In the discussion on "Gravity" we talked about how "your outer world is a reflection of your inner world" and that "your inner world is a reflection of an outer world." There is a seamless relationship between the two perceived levels. That is what I am calling a "circle." I use the circle as the most important metaphor in all my written work.
The circle we will look at now is: changes in emotional states represent changes in the electromagnetic field of a person:" and "changes in the electromagnetic field represent emotional changes in a person." To create a "shortcut" to this information I will say "your emotional states represent your EM state." Although the actual changes in electromagnetism are difficult to measure, the influence is definitely measurable. The influence of emotional states on the body is a documented fact at this time. Negative, stressful thoughts produce stress hormones and other harmful influence in the body. Positive, optimistic thoughts stimulate healthy responses within the body. Negative emotions represent changes in your EM field which in turn create changes in your cells/molecules/atoms.
When you encounter someone who is in a "bad mood", either depressed or angry (or both) the person gives off an "aura" that lets you know something is wrong. That aura consists of his or her visual presence, body language, spoken language/absence thereof, behavior, and of "unseen qualities" - that come from the EM field. We have referred to this in slang as "bad vibes." Someone who is in a highly negative or depressed state has a very closed, constricted aura- which "feels" heavier, slower, and resistant to change. If that highly negative state becomes too compressed it turns into anger and potentially violence of some sort. When I refer to violence I am referring to the entire spectrum of violence ranging from verbal attacks to physical attacks.
The purpose of our lesson is to learn how EM fields work for us, as Empaths, and how they work for people in general. This will be a gradual lesson that introduces layers upon layers of information that will eventually all fit together to form one larger picture. If you are a student of the Psychology of Energy I encourage you to ask questions and to seek clarification as you go. Post your questions inside the Empaths Group, that is why it is there.
It is at this point in your development that I am going to introduce the concept of "Nodes" into your Empath Vocabulary. This will be one of the most useful and powerful concepts that you will learn as an evolving Empath. For, as you will see in the long term, your Empathic impressions from other people come from these things I am calling "Nodes."
First, let's get the dictionary definition.
American Heritage Dictionary -
n. "Node"
A knob, knot, protuberance, or swelling.
Botany. The point on a stem where a leaf is attached or has
been attached; a joint.
See knot1.
Physics. A point or region of virtually zero amplitude in a
periodic system.
Mathematics. The point at which a continuous curve crosses
itself.
Computer Science. A terminal in a computer network.
Astronomy. Either of two diametrically opposite points at which
the orbit of a planet intersects the ecliptic.
Either of two points at which the orbit of a satellite intersects the orbital
plane of a planet.
[Middle English, lump in the flesh, from Latin ndus, knot. See ned- in
Indo-European Roots.]

As you can see, there is quite a variety of definitions but I think you get the overall picture that a node indicates a place or position within something, such as a system. I realize that is a very vague explanation but it is sufficient for now.
Nodes
In this course the EM field refers to the "overall" energy field of a person. Whether that person is yourself or someone else, we all produce an EM field. This field has electromagnetic properties but our interest is in the EMotional field generated by people. Emotions are connected to mental states and mental states are connected to emotions.
There are eight primary Nodes in the EM field of every person. Remember the key axiom for Empath knowledge: "what you know about yourself, you know about everyone else." So I will primarily be referring to your own experience with the Nodes in order to make the information meaningful.
