Walking through the crowded isles of the Future Technology Symposium, the gentle feelings of peace and serene calm surprised me as I passed a crowd of people at one of the booths. As I nuzzled into the crowd to get a closer look, I noticed that everyone was listening intently to a friendly looking man that had a slight look of what I imagine an extra-terrestrial could look like. I can't say that it was anything in particular in how he looked, but more in the eyes. Yes, that's it. It was the look of the future showing through his eyes.
I moved in a little closer until I could hear his words as he was giving his spiel. ``By bringing in the higher vibrational frequencies, they naturally become the stronger pattern of resonance within the body. Healing is a natural outcome as these frequencies are of a higher order and contain, what we would think of as, more life energy.''
My ears picked up considerably when I heard the words, healing and more life energy, as that is just what I needed about now, more life energy. I wouldn't say I was a hypochondriac, but I certainly had my share of problems with my health. After growing up with asthma, severe allergies to about everything, and later developing hypoglycemia, and migraine headaches, I felt like a little more life energy would do me just fine. At the moment I was only running on about two cylinders, and it felt to me like it was all my body could do to get through the day. Healing itself seemed out of the question. I didn't know what all of these vibrational frequencies were that he was talking about, but I assumed it had something to do with the small instrument that was on the table before him. I listened further.
``The key here is balance,'' he continued. ``When we bring the system into balance, there is naturally more energy available for healing and other areas of life. Here's an example. Try hanging your head down as far as it will go. Just let it hang there and relax. Feels good doesn't it?''
I had to admit, I felt better, at least for a while. I soon noticed that my back was beginning to complain. Then he said, ``Now let you head fall backward.'' Again I tried this, but this time it didn't feel good from the beginning. My back was definitely screaming by this time. After letting us stay in that position for an excruciatingly long thirty seconds he said, ``O.K., now see if you find the point in the middle where your head is neither falling forward nor backward, but is in a perfect state of balance.'' His point was well taken, as I instantly felt relieved of the burden of holding my head with my neck muscles.
``Your entire system works on the same principle. Imagine how much better your body would feel if everything was balanced and all of your energy was available for whatever you want in your life. Let me have a volunteer from the group?'' he asked.
By this time what he said was sounding very good to me, so I shot my hand up and he said, ``Come on up here young man.'' At the moment I didn't feel so young, but I moved through the crowd next to him. He said, ``Do you have any health problems, or complaints?'' I didn't know where to start, but somehow I croaked out the words, ``My back.'' It wasn't making me feel any better standing out in front of the crowd as I was always nervous in front of a group, especially when I had to talk. Little by little I began to calm down, and he felt very reassuring.
He then asked me to stand next to a blank screen at the back of the booth while he took my picture. As the picture slid out the front of the camera, he continued talking while the picture was developing. ``By taking a picture of you, the crystals in the film emulsion are `cut' to resonate with your subtle vibrational field. This will act as a tuning device much in the same way as your television has a channel selector.'' He then slipped the picture into a slot on the side of the small computer that he had in front of him. I noticed that he was pushing some buttons and rubbing one hand on the instrument while turning a knob with the other. He said that he would explain the procedures later to anyone that wanted to stay but he mentioned that everything looked good and there weren't any interferences at the moment.
After a few more movements of similar fashion on the instrument, he walked over behind me and asked, ``Does it hurt right here?'' I thought I was going to go through the ceiling as he pushed on the exact spot where the pain was coming from. When I somewhat loudly yelled ``Yes,'' he simply said ``I thought as much,'' and went back over to the instrument and started pushing some buttons again. In a moment he asked me to lean my head back and feel my back. I slowly let my head glide backward and a surprising thing happened. I felt a kind of click and movement in my back, and all of the pain disappeared. `Amazing,' I thought to myself, `I usually only feel this way after seeing a chiropractor.'
After telling him how good my back was feeling, I asked, ``Did your machine do that?''
He replied, ``No, your body did. All I did was send new information to your system and it did the rest. You see, our bodies, as well as all life, come preprogrammed for health and vitality. It has intelligence and knows how to repair itself if there is a problem. As a race, we are learning about separation, and individuality, and therefore have cut ourselves off from most ideas of wholeness. We grow up separating ourselves from everything to find out who we are. Since we are spending most of our time with these thoughts, our bodies begin to respond in like manner. I guess you could say that I reminded your system that it was indeed a system and that it could work together regaining wholeness through the subtle dimensions.''
Most of this was above my head, but I didn't really care at the moment, as I was feeling great. I hadn't felt this good in years. As I was reveling in this feeling of gratitude and joy, I drifted back to consciousness and awoke next to my beloved, who was still sleeping next to me.
I quietly rolled over and searched for my dream journal and penlight in the darkness to write down everything that I could remember from my dream. I was so excited that it had worked. Before falling asleep I had programmed myself to have a lucid dream and learn more about interesting technology.
I wrote furiously as to not miss any of the details of my first meeting with the dream teacher. With my thoughts whirling I staved off the temptation to wake my lover and tell her everything that I had experienced. Finally, the weight of the night enveloped me once again as I drifted back to the fair.
I found myself once again standing at the booth and the presenter seemed to sense both my elation and my dumbfoundedness.
He said, ``Let's begin at the very beginning and then straighten out any confusion that this may create for you.'' He continued, ``The letters SE-5 stand for Subtle Energy -- 5th model. The SE-5 is the fifth model of a digital device that allows you to measure and balance subtle energy fields. You might think of it as a computer that you can use to detect whether or not something is emitting a life field, and then send out information to help restore the balance of these subtle fields. Sounds a little like Greek doesn't it?'' I nodded. ``Well, let's look at it step-by-step,'' he replied.
He turned slightly to the right and pointed what looked to me like a kind of remote control for a TV into the air. Then, before the whole crowd, words appeared before us floating in a ghostly three dimensional hologram. It said,
