EXPLORING THE HEART AND


AETHER IN ENERGY MEDICINE

by Karl Maret, M.D., M.Eng.

ABSTRACT
The heart is presented as the energetic center of the human subtle energy system that plays a coordinating
role in human physiology beyond its accepted role as a cardiovascular pump. As the body’s most dynamic
field integrator of life energy, the heart plays a formative role in the creation of the new paradigm of
energy medicine. This paper explores the role of the heart in cardiovascular functioning, healing, cognition
and subtle energy modulation. Water and blood are shown to play a central role in mediating conscious-
ness and intention. A hypothesis is presented that the heart utilizes diverse subtle energy and electro-
magnetic regulatory processes to coordinate complex information flows within the body and the environ-
ment. A new model of a non-material higher-dimensional Planck aether developed by Klaus Volkamer
is presented based on research of anomalous mass determinations with subtle energy detectors. The heart
becomes a metaphor for the new synthesis between science and spirit that was the theme of the 2009
ISSSEEM conference.
