Modern science tells us that Energy and Matter are interchangeable – both have their foundation based in electrons, atoms, photons. These days we use the term Electromagnetism (EM) a lot and we understand that the whole range of lightwaves and soundwaves, even those beyond the human senses, are part of the EM spectrum. But Magnetism can be considered in its own right, independently from Electricity.

What I am being told by my friend in astrophysics now is that the secrets of the Sun may be more to do with Magnetism than Electricity, so perhaps we should reflect on the former for a moment. Magnetism is neither matter nor energy – it is a Force. Most of us are aware of a Trinity or Trilogy of terms, including ‘Mind, Body, Spirit.’

Being ever mindful that playing with words and terminology is akin to negotiating a minefield, we may still take a moment to consider that Force does not consist of electrons or protons. Yet, I suggest, it is behind both of these and must exist before they manifest its principles.

I see Force as being the non-physical, non-material cause behind our existence on this Earthly plane. The Nobel Laureate Sir Rabindranath Tagore (1861 – 1941) said, “It appears that the idea of causality is not in the elements, but that some other Force builds up with them an organised universe.”

Some mystical societies like to refer to the Absolute as the God-Force. And, of course, this month the fans of Star Wars celebrate ‘May the Fourth’ as the day of the Force – even though it is a work of fiction, much has been written lately about the writers of Hollywood being used to convey deeper messages to the public.

In my case, this article represents the beginning of a new series I need to write about… it will involve a lot about Force, Magnetism and the manifestation of Spheres.
