About the Book

    We are in the age of turbulence. To have turbulence subsided is a matter of national security. However, the national security policy of the United States is rather problematic. To help Americans cope with turbulence and related problems, this book presents a theory of the interlocking zone of the particle, molecule, and socials, as well as an empirical methodology for bioelectric energization, "refined by God" specially for the kind and caring people, particularly Christians, who are our best hope to manage turbulence and to make this a better world for all.
    The central themes of this book are that (a) we as human beings are an aggregate of partical beings, molecule beings, and social beings and must live accordingly; (b) the lives in the interface of the molcule world and the social world are too often under the influences of forces from the particle worlds; and (c) we must apply what we know about the particle world and the forces that act on us so to enhance effective personal growth and development. The nine chapters of the book presents a detailed discussion on the theory of the interlocking zone and the refined empirical methodology, as well as the strategies and tactics for reforming the American national security policy and for the kind and caring people, particularly Christians, to get energized and to effectively as "national guards" in counter-terrorism.

Preface

    This book presents to readers a theory of the interlocking zone of the particle, molecule, and social worlds that is essential to human survival and growth in turbulent times. An empirical methodology for energization of the kind and caring people, particularly Christians, to enhance the needed capacity to make this a better world for all is also delineated in this book for readers striving to live a meaningful life.

    This book draws on theories and propositions from various academic disciplines and sources of wisdom, as well as my empirical research conducted in the past 11 years. This book reveals to readers some of the best-kept "secrets" about the so-called "supernatural power," which in essence are power that we all could have after bioelectric energization - a process through which ways physiological, psychological, and cognitive improvements can be enhanced.

    The "secrets" are to serve as the basis for readers to become what they could become - kind, caring, empathetic, responsible, rational, intelligent, effective, and spiritually transcended. More importantly, the kind and caring readers, particularly Christians, will be able to effectively play their proper role in American national security in the turbulent times, making substantial contribution to mankind.

    Whether or not readers practice what this book prescribes, they would at least realize how far-out they are in shaping and reshaping their own life and destiny in turbulent times.

    As this book touches on the missing foundation of the current American national security policy, readers who are concerned with the effectiveness of the policy, as well as readers who themselves are employees of the public agencies involved in national security work, would find this book useful to their pursuit of making the United States a safer place in the era of international terrorism.

    It should be noted that throughout this book I redundantly use the expression "the kind and caring people, particularly Christians," as there is the need to highlight the fact that the kind and caring may not be Christians, while Christians may not be kind and caring, with the implication that we should avoid labeling. By the same token, while seemingly I write this book for Americans, those kind and caring people in other parts of the world are in fact also the targeted readers; so are those who are involved in national security work in other nations.

    All in all, there are many high quality books that we would read over and over again. Hopefully, readers will read this book many times in the process of their personal growth and development, and will have their lives, as well the destiny of mankind, changed for the better.

Table of Contents

Chapter 1: Introduction

    The 911 Tragedy signals the kick-off of an undeclared world war in which Americans could be victimized by militant acts without prior warning. The Tragedy also serves to document that we are now in the age of turbulence.

The Age of Turbulence

    Yes, we are in the age of turbulence - an environmental condition under which things are somewhat beyond our control: for example, there is no telling when we would die or get seriously injured by terrorist acts. Then, turbulence can be transformed into hyper-turbulence - a condition under which things are totally beyond our control and imagination. Living in a hyper-turbulence environment is like living in a war zone. We need not go into details about the hardship in such an environment. All we have to do is to imagine how life can be like if we were being locked in a cage full of wild animals, which impulsively behave by instinct and do not act according to the norms and values we human beings have internalized.

    To have turbulence subsided or to avoid the occurrence of hyper-turbulence is a matter of national security. However, the national security policy of the United States is rather problematic. Many scholars and strategic defense analysts have done enough work to point out the various deficiencies of the policy.

    Here, I only need to add one more point: the policy is based on faith in rationality - rational in identifying problems, selecting objectives, formulating actions, optimizing technology's values, and efficiently deploying resources. The world we live in, however, is blended with non-rationality and irrationality. The national security policy so formulated is inevitably ineffective in protecting American citizens.

    Notwithstanding the impressive efforts expended by the United States in neutralizing international terrorists, more tragedies are expected. For the hatred in those being suppressed by "American might" will eventually intensify to the extent that they are willing to die for revenge, at massive scale. These people, on individual or group basis, will do whatever is necessary to terrorize Americans. Unless we kill them all, the nightmare is to continue, but how could we do that when there are millions of them? In short, terrorism will not end until the American national security policy employs a fundamentally effective strategy, which will be discussed in the subsequent pages.

    Terrorism, nevertheless, is only one likely prime cause of hyper-turbulence in the coming years. There are more. One particularly relevant social phenomenon, which could be another prime cause, is defective decision-making. Researchers have done enough to document that even great leaders would for stupid reasons make some totally irrational decisions that lead to irreparable damages. News reports have also shown that even prominent Church leaders or high caliber business executives would non-rationally act in ways that are legally or morally unacceptable.

    Somehow no one on Earth could avoid making non-rational or irrational decisions, no matter how rational they usually are. And the consequences are often that wrong decisions are made at the wrong time to generate the worse effects.

    Consider the following hypothetical scenarios: a senior staff in the Department of Defense might for no good justification withhold critical information and as a result succeed in misleading the President to make a seemingly noble, but in essence evil, executive decision, eventually killing hundreds of non-Americans; a totally rational President could abnormally make an unnecessary invasion decision, causing the death of many American soldiers. Could these happen? We can easily give affirmative answers. After all, we as mature persons could recall that invariably we have had in various points of life got into some decision-making situations and made irrational decisions, and then regret for their rest of our lives.

    Different people can give different but plausible explanations to account for the irrationality in decision-making. Here, I would offer a path-breaking one: that they are under influences from external forces - the forces that they do not notice. Details are to be presented in the subsequent chapters.

The Incompleteness of the
Current Knowledge Base

    We need to manage turbulence in order to avoid its being transformed into hyper-turbulence. Unfortunately, the current knowledge in application at this point of turbulent time is insufficient for us to enhance the needed management.

    The insufficiency stems from the conventional approach that we have employed to generate usable knowledge. This approach considers that we live in the physical world in which all matters (organic or inorganic), including human bodies, are composed of molecules - we the human beings can therefore be called Molecule Beings. The approach also dictates that we human beings act and interact among ourselves to create a social world, through objectification and then reification. In this social world, regularities and predictability of social behaviors can be prescribed and enhanced, by persuasion, by manipulation, and/or by force. Members of this social world live, grow, experience, and leave footprints. We human beings can therefore be called Social Beings.

    This conventional approach directs our attention to the essence and change of substance in the overlapping zone of the physical world and the social world. This approach prescribes that when things are not in order, we can do something to manage disorder. And if we cannot assert control, it is because we have not done enough to enhance the needed knowledge and technology for effective control.

    If and only if we were merely Social Beings and Molecule Beings, then this approach (that focuses on the interface of the physical world and the social world) can help us generate knowledge about how the two worlds work and how we can optimize our control of the two worlds. This conventional approach could then indeed be the best available for us to employ in order to manage our lives on Earth.

    Yet, we also live in the particle world even though most of us do not realize that. Thus, we are more than Social Beings and Molecule Beings - we are in essence an aggregate of Molecule Beings, Social Beings, and Particle Beings, and we in fact live in the interlocking zone of the molecule world, the social world, and the particle world.

    As such, we need to dump the conventionally used approach, and adopt a totally new one that readily takes into account the ramifications and implications of lives in the interlocking zone. By doing, we can then develop a new knowledge base that can help us manage turbulence, and avoid turbulence being transformed into hyper-turbulence under which pain and agony are epidemic.

Towards a Theory of the Interlocking Zone of
the Particle, Molecule, and Social Worlds

    This book is about how we can survive and grow in turbulence times. The central themes of this book are that (a) we as human beings are an aggregate of particle beings, molecule beings, and social beings and must live accordingly, (b) the lives in the interface of the molecule world and the social world as we seemingly know are in fact under the influences of forces from the particle world, and (c) we must apply what we know about the particle world and the forces that act on us in order to manage problems in the molecule and social worlds. When these three themes are put together, readers would then realize how the national security policy of the United States should be reformulated and what critical role the kind and caring people, particularly Christians, could play to make this a better world for all.

    It is with the understanding above that we proceed to elaborate on the theory of the interlocking zone and the empirical methodology for energization, as well as the strategies and tactics in counter-terrorism for helping us surf through turbulences. In Chapter II, I am to discuss some problems of our being trapped in the social world and molecule world.

    In Chapter III, I present some relevant information about the empirical methodology for enhancing a better understanding of the operation of the particle, molecule, and social worlds. Recorded in Chapter IV are details about the theory of the interlocking zone of the particle, molecule, and social worlds.

    With reference to the theory, I then elaborate in Chapter V the issues of national security and implications for the kind and caring people, particularly Christians. Chapter VI focuses on the empirical methodology of energization, while Chapter VII elaborates on ways to maintain continuous expansion of capacity of the kind and caring people, particularly Christians.

    In Chapter VIII, I present the strategies and tactics that the energized kind and caring people can enhance survival and growth in turbulent times while making major contribution to American national security generally and counter-terrorism in particular. Chapter IX then further highlights other missions that the energized kind and caring people, particularly Christians, can achieve to better serve their fellow Americans.

Conclusion

    We are in the age of turbulence, which can be transformed into the age of hyper-turbulence. To have turbulence subsided or to avoid the occurrence of hyper-turbulence is a matter of national security. However, the national security policy of the United States is rather problematic.

    To help Americans cope with turbulence and related problems, this book presents the theory of the interlocking zone of the particle, molecule, and socials, as well as an empirical methodology for bioelectric energization, which serves as a basis for readers to realize how the national security policy should be reformulated and what critical role do kind and caring people, particularly Christians, could play to make this a better world for all.

    I have discussed in details how the energized kind and caring, particularly Christians, could do in counter-terrorism particularly and national security generally. In reality, unfortunately, the kind and caring people are rare species in the interlocking zone of the particle, molecule, and social worlds. In comparison, energized kind and caring people are even harder to find.

    It is thus hopeful that this book could serve to help drastically increase the numbers of the kind and caring and the energized ones, so that there could be more "national guards" in action to neutralize inbound beings' influences in the United States and, in turn, avoiding unnecessary violent acts in America generally and terrorist attacks in particular.

    It should be noted, however, that the kind and caring, particularly Christians, as national guards in national security threatened by international terrorism is only one of the critical roles that they could play in turbulent times.

    Specifically, I have reported in Chapter VI that the methodology for energization refined by God is based on a holistic approach and has a listed of prescriptions, including "how the kind and caring, particularly Christians, can make good use of the expanded outbound energy capacity to serve mankind as well as inbound and outbound particle beings." Readers, particularly qualified recipients, should therefore bear this important point in mind so as to avoid misleading themselves to believe that counter-terrorism is the only mission they should and could accomplish.

    There are at least four other missions that can be best achieved by them. First, the energization of the kind and caring, particularly Christians, in churches/chapels of a town or city would create an extraordinarily strong outbound energy field that makes the churches/chapels fully and continuously outbound-oriented.

    As such, particle beings who got out from molecular bodies of Christians or non-Christians (due to physiological collapse - death in our ordinary word) can safely reside in the churches or chapels before their deciding what to do next (contrary to conventional wisdom, the majority of these particle beings do not necessarily go to Heaven, hell, etc. or get "incarnated").

    More importantly, these particle beings may have the privilege to interact with outbound particles beings (who reside in Heaven) who typically stay in churches or chapels when performing outbound-oriented duties on Earth to help particle beings and kind and caring people, particularly Christians.

    Second, the increasing number of the kind and caring, particularly Christians, in a city is positively related to the increasing intensification of the outbound energy field (in that city) that prevents the continuous extension of the inbound forces. The mushroom effect can be astonishing in intensifying the outbound energy field in the United States and even the whole world (as I have mentioned in Chapter V).

    Third, the subscription of the kind and caring, particularly Christians, to the ideology of the fundamental values in promoting human growth and development as a social goal and then put their words into deeds would help foster a social culture that focuses on how members of society could strive to enhance human goodness rather then power, wealth, fame, and glory, that carry nil currency in our next life. By fostering such a social culture, the kind and caring would in effect help change the inbound energy field of most members of the American society to outbound-oriented, and thus reduce the influences of inbound forces in the United States.

    And fourth, the energized kind and caring, particularly Christians, are the only few in the United States capable of helping many American soldiers and law enforcement officers who by official duty have pursued violent acts, particularly the killing of "enemies" or "criminals," and then got extremely depressed (while some might be declared "nutcase" by clinical psychologists).

    Many of these psychologically disturbed, but honorable people of the community/nation are in fact under the influences asserted by inbound particle beings. They are to suffer for the rest of their life unless outbound beings intervene.

    The energized kind and caring, particularly Christians, are the ideal persons to provide help and assistance, as they not only can neutralize inbound forces but communicate in words and body language with the victims to tell them how to forgive their own "mishaps" - which are not when they committed the violent acts in order to save or protect other innocent people - and how to change their energy field's orientation to outbound to neutralize all those inbound influences.

    All in all, the kind and caring, particularly Christians, are rare species; so are energized kind and caring people. Hopefully, readers will actively contribute to making more people kind and caring, and energized. Further, we need to bear in mind that the empirical knowledge of the interlocking zone is meager.

    Hopefully, researchers from different fields and disciplines would find the theory of the interlocking zone and the empirical methodology presented here provocative and then pay due research attention.

    In turbulent times, human beings really need to have more empirical knowledge about the interlocking zone in order to survive and then grow and develop. Indeed, many critical jobs and tasks must be performed as soon as possible if we are to have turbulence subsided or to avoid the occurrence of hyper-turbulence.
