Martha RogersScience of Unitary Human Beings

“A unitary human being is an irreducible, indivisible energy field and a unitary one... In fact, human beings and environments do not have energy fields; they are energy fields. They are open for exchange and extend to infinity. Energy fields are pandimensional, transcend time and space, and therefore may have imaginary boundaries that are unique and changeable."
