There was an engineering school dropout who was tired of losing power every time a car hit a telephone pole or lightning hit the electrical substation near his home. For some inexplicable reason, these kinds of events happened frequently. His electricity bills kept increasing despite receiving poor and intermittent service. He was tired of tossing out spoiled food from his refrigerator, resetting his clocks, and paying more and more for unreliable power derived from fossil and nuclear fuels. He thought there had to be a better way to generate and deliver electrical power safely.

He studied everything he could about alternative forms of energy. He followed every lead no matter how far-fetched it seemed. He studied wind and solar power, but he wasn’t satisfied with these technologies for a number of reasons: vulnerability to environmental factors and human actors, inability to be effectively scaled in both directions, poor energy density, inconsistent output, and negative aesthetics. He wanted a compact technology that could power an entire community, a family home, and even be made small enough to reliably power his cell phone without needing a rechargeable battery. He also wanted to achieve these kinds of results without destroying the environment. 

During his research, he had learned that many people had tried to realize similar dreams before him but had failed. He was determined to learn from their mistakes and succeed. After years of trial and error, he developed several small prototype generators that had the ability to transform energies from the highest frequencies of the invisible part of the electromagnetic spectrum into usable electricity. According to his own testing, he found that the technology worked at all times, in all places, and under all conditions. No matter how much energy he generated, there was always more where that came from. The supply was inexhaustible.

He invited trusted family members and friends to help him build an enterprise  to produce and deliver the technology to the world.  Eventually he received all of the necessary patents, secured investors, and acquired a facility to manufacture and distribute his invention to realize his dream of freeing people from harmful systems of power generation and distribution.

A few months after production had started, a large coronal mass ejection from the sun hit the earth. It destroyed all of the earth’s satellites, including the entire constellation of global positioning satellites. It plowed through the magnetosphere and overloaded the global electrical grid, causing massive and persistent power failures and the destruction of critical components of the system. Everything dependent upon the grid (including cellular networks and the Internet) failed. The most developed countries and cities were thrown into chaos.

In the aftermath of the global devastation, the new technology became one of the factors that allowed humanity to rebuild a new civilization of balance and harmony.

Secrets of the Story

This story was based on my current understanding of natural and divine law. Twenty years ago I became convinced that it was possible to generate electrical power from the high frequency electromagnetic fluctuations that pervade space-time. I assumed that the technological applications of this knowledge would be widespread by now so that we could work toward healing the earth from the ravages of a global economy based upon acquiring energy through combustion and nuclear fission (along with their harmful side effects) to one where energy was acquired in ways that were more in harmony with natural law.

Obviously, I was spectacularly wrong and still am. Part of the reason I wrote this story was to encourage people to consider the possibility that everything we truly need can be acquired in ways that are harmonious and not destructive.

This story suggests that it is not only possible to generate electricity without combustive and nuclear processes, but that energy captured this way is unlimited in its availability. The universe is the material manifestation of Divine Abundance and Providence and is not the vast blackness of indifference to life that so many suppose.

This story intimates that living in harmony with natural law is similar to living in harmony with divine law. Just as we need to learn how to “ask” the universe for power through creating “antennae” to receive invisible electromagnetic fluctuations for power generation, so do our souls need to learn how to “ask” the Creator of the universe to experience the benefits of the Divine Power that is invisibly omnipresent, yet freely available to all.

The word that I most commonly apply to the soul’s desire to receive Divine Power is prayer. Truly heartfelt prayer is the spiritual “technology” that allows the soul to receive invisible Divine Energy so that it may not only be empowered but in the process be transformed from a natural being into divine entity. In other words a human soul cannot only receive Divine Power but can progressively become a more powerful instrument of the Source in the world.

There is nothing in all of creation that can come between a sincerely seeking soul and the Power of Divine Love that flows from the heart of the Creator. There is nothing in all of existence that can stop this miracle from happening except the refusal of the soul to receive this power in the first place. Once the soul seeks in the correct way, it must receive, because Divine Power flows according to law (just as electricity flows according to law) and not according to any arbitrariness or capriciousness that has been attributed to the Creator.

It will be some time before our material technologies operate in much greater harmony with natural law given our species’ current level of spiritual development. But each soul can seek to live in harmony with Divine Law right here and right now through heartfelt prayer for the Power that changes the very nature and essence of the soul from corruptibility and mortality that are the legacy of our created natures to the incorruptibility and immortality that we may inherit if we so choose. As we do, our ability to understand how to live in greater harmony with natural law will reveal wonders beyond imagination.
