Quantum Activism For Better Health and Healing
Health and healing the world over is in crisis primarily as the result of skyrocketing costs. I submit that the rising costs are fundamentally due to the exclusive use of costly allopathic medicine which has harmful side effects and, brings only temporary relief often not healing the disease which ultimately returns. Costs rise also because there is no real understanding of what healing consists of, or of what health actually is. As a result of this non-understanding there is very little investment in the idea of disease prevention. Health, as I will show, is when not only the physical organs function properly, but also when all our other “subtle bodies” function properly. Physical health is defined not only by the proper functioning of the physical organs, but also by the proper functioning of their correlated morphogenetic fields, and the correlated mental body that gives meaning.
The major shortcoming of the current philosophy of allopathic medicine-— is that it is based on scientific materialism—the idea that all things including our body are made of matter and its interactions. In contrast, there are alternative medicine practices gradually coming into vogue (because they are cheap and effective). We see the rise of traditional Chinese medicine including acupuncture, traditional Indian medicine, homeopathy, mind-body medicine and last but not least, spiritual medicine as in Christian Science (Baker-Eddy, 1906). The first three of these alternative medicine practices hold that we have not only our material bodies but also vital bodies connected with “life force” whose energies are variously called chi ((in Chinese), prana (in Sanskrit), and vital energy (in the West).

Quantum physics in the form of its famous observer effect (how an observation transforms quantum possibilities into actual experiences in the observer’s consciousness) is forcing us into a paradigm shift from the primacy-of-matter
