Answer 11

Unitary human being (Human field)

Question 12

• irreducible, pandimensional energy field identified by pattern and integral with the human field.
• Each _____________ is specific to its given human field

Answer 12

Environmental field

Question 13

The concept of the _______________ holds that energy fields are infinite, open, and integral with one another. The human and environmental fields are in continuous process and are open systems.

Answer 13

Universe of Open Systems

Question 14

Energy fields are boundless. Each person’s energy field interacts with others and with their environment, creating a dynamic web of relationships

Answer 14

Infinite

Question 15

This means that both human and environmental fields are not isolated; they constantly exchange energy and information with one another

Answer 15

Open Systems

Question 16

The idea that these fields are integral with one another means that they are essential to each other’s existence and functioning.

Answer 16

Integral Nature

Question 17

• changes continuously and innovatively.
• Each human field pattern is unique and is integral with the environmental field.
• changing continually and may manifest disease, illness, or well-being

Answer 17

Pattern

Question 18

variations in pattern manifestations

Answer 18

“longer versus shorter rhythms,”
“pragmatic versus imaginative,”

Question 19

Answer 20

RESONANCY/RESONANCE

Question 21

• continuous, unpredictable, nonlinear evolution of energy fields
