In every culture of the world, we find mentions of a life energy flowing within and around the physical body. Enlightened humans are often portrayed surrounded by a luminous halo or aura. Eastern spiritual tradition gives a great importance to radiation emitted by living creatures. The colored layers of light enveloping an organism are said to be images of its various physical, mental, and spiritual states. Mediums and psychics claim that any person can learn to see this auric field.

In ordinary conditions, we are blind to radiation except to that we call "visible light." With proper equipment, however, we detect the infrared aura of warm objects, the electromagnetic field of charged particles, or the bursting rays from radioactive substances. Why doubt that higher perception may allow to visualize the bio-energies of other Eternons?

For several thousand years, Chinese have investigated Chi, the vital force of the human body. They have recorded hundreds of points of acupuncture where implanting fine needles reinstates the balance of the organism. Yet, when scientists dissect bodies in search of connections between these superficial points and internal organs, they find none. Chi works through channels which are not visible features of the organism.

In India, chi is called prana and chakras are its focus points. Although chakras seem to match the plexuses of blood vessels and nerves, here again our body shows no marks of where prana is said to flow in and out.

Like all traditional and folk medical knowledge, Chinese chi and Indian prana are direct insights into Eternon energy. This is why they were known long before the discovery of magnetism and electricity in body tissues, long before the finding of endocrine glands and hormones.

Bio-energy flows not only within persons but also between persons. When humans meet, they do not need to exchange a word. Their Leading Eternons instantly evaluate each other and what they decide generally holds. As we say: "first impressions count."

Charisma is another remarkable out-going bio-energy. Charismatic individuals exert an extraordinary influence on others. Political or religious leaders galvanize crowds. Artists and media people subjugate their public. Charisma may be so intense as to be irresistible.
