The field itself has intelligence as does the system being treated, which directs how the healing will take place. I believe that this interaction of consciousness functions so far beyond the realms of human intelligence into an area I like to think of it as "spiritual intelligence".

I've written about the effect of life-force energy on wine and various fluids, but I did not mention that some Quantum-Touch practitioners, including myself have seen that running energy into some damaged black tourmalines have caused "healing" to occur. This healing is seen most dramatically in areas where damage had occurred to the crystal. I’ve even observed seven distinct stages of transformation: from opaque, black and dull, all the way to glassy, translucent, transparent and brilliantly colored. Clearly, life-force energy directly impacts the very physics and chemistry of matter.

I have no doubt that serious research into life-force energy will inevitably transform our conception of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, psychology and botany leading to an entire new branch of science I like to call Life-Force Science. Including consciousness in science will not only change the sciences forever, but even more importantly, it will transform how we perceive our world and ourselves. The impact of the awareness of the life-force energy will also occur on a very personal level. I believe that a few of the most likely changes will include:

• Healers would work in every hospital, emergency room, ambulance. By today’s standards of patient recovery, the healing would look like something out of science fiction.
• Hands-on healing would become a part of the education of every child from preschool on up. When a child falls, the other children would gather around to help. When a child is suffering from ADHD, he or she could quickly be brought into balance with energy work. By the time each child finishes their education, they would all be exceptionally powerful and wonderful practitioners.
• Professional sports teams would all embrace it.
• People would naturally and casually be doing healing work on each other in public. We will see them helping to remove headaches, relieving back pain or whatever, in line at movie theatres, cafes, bookstores, etc.
• Health care in third would countries would transform. A report from the World Health Organization stated that Western Medicine could never be the solution for world health because it is too expensive.
• Direct spiritual experiences and the power of our own presence can transcend religious dogma.
• Humans will appreciate that their love is immeasurably valuable and has profound impact.
• Breakthroughs will be made that I can’t even imagine.

When life-force is considered real, we will have a new lens through which to view the world. The way we grow food and what we eat will be evaluated in terms of how it affects our life-force. Education will be evaluated by how creative and loving processes enhance the child’s life-force. Medical practices can be evaluated by how well the treatments enhance the patient’s life-force. The value of exercise, yoga, pranayama, tai chi, and other various kinds of bodywork can take on a new importance. We can see how laughter, the honest expression of emotions, and the impact of love, care, tenderness, and touch enhance the life-force. When we consider the life-force real, we will live in a world that can transform its priorities and be a healthier and more fulfilling place for us all.

I see a day when healing becomes a universal skill, and the level of pain and suffering on the planet is reduced to a small fraction of what we see today. I have seen families drawn close through the practice of healing each other. I foresee a day when the family of humankind can draw closer through the innate and universal power of loving each other with the use of healing energy.
