One of the most thoughtful explanations of
mental projection that I have seen (as it
applies to creation and evolution) is a book
by William Fix titled "The Bone Peddlers: Selling
Evolution."
Most of the book deals with how the politics
and personalities of paleontologists (scientists
who study fossils) influence the formation
and dispersal of theories about human origins.
One of latter chapters in "The Bone Peddlers"
lays out Fix's concept of "psychogenesis"
as an explanation for how mental processes
could have materialized physical forms in
the ancient past.
Fix defines psychogenesis as "the initiation
of a novel form of creature through the activity
of a psychic -- that is mental or spiritual
-- agency."
Fix begins his argument for the holistic nature
of humans by citing the abundant literature
on spiritual and mental healing.
He postulates that such healing is simply
a manifestation of "mind over matter," which
in parapsychology is called psychokinesis.
Presumably, due to involution over many millennia,
most souls have lost the ability to perform
psychokinesis in any obvious way.
Occasionally we hear of a guru who reportedly
can perform psychokinesis phenomena such as
levitation or materialization on demand.
More frequently, positive reports of psychokinesis
come from parapsychologists who announce significant
findings based on subtle effects, such as
the ability of certain individuals to psychically
influence the output of random-event generators.
Some of the most convincing psychokinesis
experiments make use of random-event generators
that measure the time intervals between electron
emissions produced by the radioactive decay
of strontium 90.
Although these emissions are supposed to be
random events, Fix reports that some individuals
are apparently able to predict and/or influence
the rate of radioactive decay to the extent
that the odds against this happening by chance
are about 30,000 to 1.
If consciousness can detect and/or influence
events at the atomic level in a highly controlled
experiment, what about the physiological processes
within the human body, even at the level of
genetic material?
Perhaps this is the explanation for mental
and spiritual healing.
In terms of creation and evolution, this could
account for the ability of souls to create
thought forms that gradually materialized
into physical bodies.
Manipulation of the genetic material of such
biological entities via some form of
of psychokinesis (such as psychogenesis) sounds
very much like the "moulding" process cited
by Cayce as means by which souls gradually
formed pre-human flesh bodies in Mu and Atlantis.
Instantaneous projection of flesh bodies (as
in the fivefold projection by Amilius and
his soul group) is the same process as the
unfathomable power of the divine Mind to influence
the physical universe.
Thus, psychogenesis is a profound example of Cayce's
metaphysical assertion that spirit is the
life, mind is the builder, and the physical
is the result.
