Welcome, gifted viewers, to today’s Science and Spirituality featuring Dr. Theresa Ibis, of the US, a physicist, alchemist, Kabbalist, co-founder of the Universal Kabbalah Network and founder of Indigo Bridge In Service (IBIS). Dr. Ibis is also trained as a Celtic Shaman and Advanced Ritual Master of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Light in the lineage of King Salomon.

My interest in going into science was really driven by a desire to understand this vast Universe that we live in and to know how it works and what’s going on out there beyond our lives here on Planet Earth.

Theresa Ibis has a Ph.D. in physics and specializes in the fields of sacred geometry, true alchemy and personal growth, among others.

So it was really a moment of inspiration that I would say was more of spiritual experience that actually let me into the field of science to really understand how this Universe works.

In 2004 Dr. Ibis founded Indigo Bridge In Service, which conducts seminars on a variety of topics including personal empowerment and self-mastery, and offers mind-body-spirit self-help products. She also teaches “accelerated learning” techniques to help clients enhance their learning efficiency and expand their potential. Her last name is also an acronym for “Indigo Bridge In Service,” and refers to her work with the spiritual beings known as “Indigo children.”

These children perceive (things) differently and their biochemistry sometimes is operating differently, and their minds work differently. I think that they are a marker of humans evolving; like our consciousness is evolving.

Dr. Ibis next describes the physics research that led her to explore spirituality.

As I was studying physics, especially more modern physics theories, it was really giving me that look into the fundamental building blocks of our world. I have a Ph.D. in physics and my research spanned many different fields through that process of pursuing the Ph.D., everywhere from neutrino physics to atomic physics to nanotechnology to crystallography and crystal chemistry, and my dissertation work ended up being in working with crystals and the information of patterns of defects that are stored within those crystals.

Working with laboratory-grown, synthetic crystals as templates or models, Dr. Ibis’ research team found that defects are fundamental to crystal growth, that under certain conditions, screw dislocation, a particular type of defect, is necessary for this growth, and that these defects are propagated or transferred through crystal growth.

What I was doing, personally, was testing a theory on the origin of life (that) said that life started with information templates stored in crystal defects before you had biologically relevant molecules take over that information template for genetic information. So we were testing whether or not this theory had credibility. We discovered that information does transfer through crystal growth.

And the information stored within the defect patterns was non-random, which was a new discovery. We showed that it was based on the crystal symmetry and structure of the crystals themselves. There was information stored in there. Crystal growth is very complex so it’s very hard to control. There’s a lot of mutation that would also happen in the pattern of information stored within those crystals, and so it really would depend on the conditions more that were happening in the early pre-biotic life on Earth.

While pursuing her Ph.D., Dr. Ibis was immersed in physics research for 80 hours a week, and came to feel that her life was out of balance and something fundamental was missing. She then realized the need to incorporate spirituality into her life.

I started getting all these books on physics and spirituality like “The Tao of Physics,” on science and consciousness. I really wanted to find something where I could blend what I knew to be true scientifically with what I felt and intuited to be true spiritually. I wanted something where the two worlds could meet rather than feeling like they were having to be kept separate.

I found my way through that process, starting off more with the new science, some of the crossover between quantum mechanics and consciousness studies, then went deeper and deeper. Ultimately, it led me into the study of sacred geometry where we can see there are a certain fundamental set of patterns and shapes that are in nature and that are used to build up this Universe, but the sacred part of it is bringing the meaning back in.

What are those shapes and what is nature communicating to us by using those particular patterns? How can we know what those patterns are, and then embrace that and use that in our own creation?

Given her diverse background, Dr. Ibis has written extensively for a wide range of publications.

I’ve written articles for the Alchemy Journal. I have an essay in “Using the Whole Brain,” which was related to some of the work by the Monroe Institute that shows the synchronization of the hemispheres, and when we can move into a whole brain state. This is when we can learn more, and when we can process more information. And then I, of course, have a number of publications in the more scientific journals.

When we return we’ll learn more about Dr. Theresa Ibis’ views on blending science and spirituality and her knowledge of alchemy. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television.

Welcome back to Science and Spirituality featuring Dr. Theresa Ibis, physicist, founder of Indigo Bridge In Service and co-founder of the Universal Kabbalah Network, who teaches, conducts workshops and speaks at conferences. Through her Ph.D. work on the growth of crystals, Dr. Ibis realized that her life’s mission was to unite spirituality and science so as to help others better understand themselves and the Universe.

From sacred geometry I was led into the study of alchemy. I ended up reading a book on the Emerald Tablet, which is the main, foundational formula that alchemy is based on.

This is not about turning lead into gold unless we take that “lead into gold” as a metaphor for taking anything in nature, at a base level, where it’s got impurities and defects and things that we’d like to clear away from it, then taking that thing and transforming it into a more perfected state, where we've cleared out the impurities and we've made it more perfect and brought it to a heightened level where it embodies more subtle energy and it’s vibrant and alive with that spiritual essence as well.

According to Dr. Ibis, much work in the field of science and spirituality involves esoteric theories and so is not readily applicable to our everyday lives. For example, the observer effect principle in quantum mechanics states that the observer and the observed are intimately interconnected. Thus an experimenter’s act of observing determines what he or she ultimately sees.

For example, if I want to look at an electron; if I set it up to see it as an electron, as a particle, then my experiment will show, yes, it is a particle. But if I set up my experiment to see it as a field of energy or as a wave, then my experiment is going to show, yes, it's a wave. So our consciousness is intimately connected with the state of that energy, whether it's a wave or particle.

Classical mechanics says that we can predict everything and measure everything to exact certainty, but quantum mechanics says you can't do it and be exactly 100% certain about the state of that matter. That uncertainty gives room for our own consciousness to affect the matter and how it shows up. Traditional science doesn’t translate that into consciousness and your thoughts being able to affect things at a macroscopic level, which is very mechanistic.

In the new science field, a lot of theories, a lot of good concepts that are there, but there is a real lack of “Let's bring it into a more practical realm.” Science is based on testability and practical, experimental results, where you can take those theories, verify them, and repeat them. If we really want to accomplish anything within the more mainstream scientific theory to really reintroduce spirituality and the effect of consciousness, we need to bring this to a testable level.

US writer Lynne McTaggart is a well-known figure in the area of human consciousness research. In her writings, such as “The Field,” she pushes the frontiers of science with respect to the study of human thought and intentions, and reports on researchers studying unseen forces like intention at the experimental level.

Other authors are also reporting on such experiments, which support the idea that consciousness and the body are essentially comprised of energy. For example, in her book “Infinite Mind” US scientist Dr. Valerie Hunt shows that the energy of the human body can be measured.

So we’re not just about biochemistry and particles and matter. We have energy within our own system, and this is where we can start bringing both consciousness and precognition and intuition into the realm of testability. One of the things that I want to do is to create the bridge to bringing more testability to that realm of science and spirituality, and I believe that alchemy is how we can start.

Alchemy is an art and a science of how we can speed up our own evolution or perfect nature, (at) whatever level we want to apply to. Just like the laws of the Universe and the forces of physics and so forth that are just there. That chemical pattern of transformation is a part of the Universe, it’s just there.

And our process in alchemy is to understand what that pattern is and to work with it actively, and to then use it and test it and experiment with it in our world at a very practical level. Ultimately, I think the goal would be to spiritualize matter, to bring our material world into a more elevated state, create Heaven on Earth, for example.

From physics to alchemy, Dr. Theresa Ibis explores the fundamental rules of life and the Universe and reveals esoteric knowledge out of her passion to benefit people in all aspects of their lives. We thank Dr. Ibis for sharing her personal journey and perspectives on physics, quantum mechanics and alchemy. For more information on Dr. Theresa Ibis, please visit

Welcome, friendly viewers, to today’s Science and Spirituality and Part 2 of our program featuring Dr. Theresa Ibis, of the US, a physicist, alchemist, Kabbalist, co-founder of the Universal Kabbalah Network and founder of Indigo Bridge In Service (IBIS). Dr. Ibis is also trained as a Celtic Shaman and Advanced Ritual Master of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Light in the lineage of King Salomon.

Theresa Ibis has a Ph.D. in physics and specializes in the fields of sacred geometry, true alchemy and personal growth, among others. Today Dr. Ibis delves more deeply into the philosophy and science of alchemy and explains the concept of the seven stages of transformation, which she says can be applied to both the physical and spiritual planes to produce constructive change in our lives and the world around us.

Alchemy is the study of and the science and art of transformation, so how we can transform anything from a base state to a more elevated or perfected state. That's the most simple definition we can give alchemy. They have identified a pattern of steps that anything, when it's going from point A to point B will follow, and it will go through these various stages as it transforms from a state that has impurities into a state that has more perfection. Whether you’re applying it at a spiritual level, at a psychological level, at a physical level, you can see the same pattern showing up.

Dr. Ibis says that alchemy’s roots may be traced to Europe and Asia, and that both the Western and Eastern schools of alchemy employ the same underlying formulas because both are based on observing natural processes and how nature transforms mind and matter.

Take evolution for example; evolution will go through those same stages. But what alchemy does is it takes evolution, and it applies our own consciousness, our own intentional involvement in that process of evolution. And from understanding the pattern at a scientific level, we can then interact with the evolution and speed it up.

Words like “calcination” and “dissolution” and “separation” are still used today in modern chemistry. Modern chemistry, modern physics, modern pharmacology, medicine, all these things are branches of what used to be alchemy. So alchemy paved the foundation for all of our modern sciences, including psychology.

The basic theory says there are seven stages of transformation. The first stage, let’s apply this at a consciousness level, (is) how we can transform our own consciousness psychologically.

Calcination, for example is the burning of the ego. You got out there in life, and some event happens, someone says something rude to you, or gives you a piece of feedback that maybe wasn't so gentle, and your ego gets really burnt and inflamed and you might get angry, and there’s a lot of fiery energy, and yet there's that kind of pain of having to suddenly face yourself. So the calcination is the burning of the ego.

And usually that then starts the process; the calcinations start the fire and the transformative process within us. From there some of the emotion comes up, whether it’s sadness that they really think that about me or I'm not good enough, or whatever subconscious patterns start to rise up to the surface and we become very disillusioned.

So that next stage is called dissolution, where you’re dissolving that part of the ego that was burnt. You’re dissolving it into the waters of the subconscious mind. Then the next stage would be for us to go into separation, trying to gain some clarity and allow our mind and our reason to come and go, "Okay, well this is true, I’m going to be honest with myself and say, ‘Yes, I have an issue here, and okay, so where do I need to clear it up? And where did it come from?’”

So you’re separating out, “What do I want to keep; what do I want to get rid of?” After you go through some purification of those pieces that you’re separating out, it’s really like, “Who am I?” and “What am I here for?” Then you start coming to the level of clarity, and you’ve let go of some of the hurt and you’ve let go of some of the emotional attachments. And then you bring your pieces back together, and you form this new sense of self.

At this point, awareness of a new self-identity is a temporary state. To remain in this higher state, one still needs to practice to consolidate the new self.

So the next stage is to allow it to mature. That maturing is what they call fermentation; you’re maturing that new sense of self. After you reach a certain level of maturing, you go out into the world and you are met with new challenges, and things that can reflect back to you, where there’s still some refinement to be done. So there’s more of a subtle level of refinement and purification and allowing that new self to distill and to really become more pure.

And part of that has to do with walking the talk and living in integrity with the new beliefs and so forth. Ultimately, after many, many rounds of that purification and distilling of that new sense of self, you will come to the congealing of it. It is integrated as a part of who you are. You don’t have to be consciously trying to strive towards something anymore. It’s just you.

When Science and Spirituality returns, Dr. Theresa Ibis will provide examples of how she applies alchemy in her work. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television.

Welcome back to Science and Spirituality, where Dr. Theresa Ibis is discussing how she applies alchemy, the ancient science and philosophy of transformation, to her work.

My work with alchemy, for the most part, has been in the spiritual realm, to help people not only to improve their spiritual life, but to improve their lives in general at a real, practical level. Taking those principles and applying them into life, applying them into your job, and into your relationships, and into your own personal growth. I have also done work with creating herbal elixirs and working the alchemy processes on plants and so forth.

My aim is to ultimately bring the alchemical process into laboratory-type research, not just for working with herbs to create medicines, but for really bringing in scientific research guided by alchemical principles and methods.

I think that using these methods we can really start to take our technologies to a level that is more holistic, more sustainable, more beneficial, and create new ways to tap into the energy that is all around us, in the vacuum, and bring that energy forward in a way that can help us to “unpeg” from the oil dependency that we have.

Dr. Ibis says that like her, many others around the world are also working to advance society and science through alchemy.

We had the (International) Alchemy Conference last October (2009). We had Dr. (Masaru) Emoto, Don Miguel Ruiz and Nassim Haramein. We had really amazing people come forward to speak and to share from the different approaches how that process of transformation is being applied, whether it’s in individual lives or at a scientific level, and how we can become aware of where we’re really at this amazing time on the planet.

We’re at this event horizon of making another big leap forward in our scientific theories and how we relate to or apply those into our lives, and the paradigms that we embrace for what we’re here for, and what role we play in the grand scheme of things: Are we separate or are we connected? Is it just a materialistic world or is there this side where we actually have an active role to play in how things manifest?

Through high-resolution photographs of frozen water crystals Dr. Emoto has shown that prayer, blessings and strong feelings physically change the crystalline structure of water molecules. And since the human body is largely composed of water, Dr. Emoto’s fascinating discovery implies that our thoughts and emotions have a direct impact on our overall health.

I think that Dr. Emoto has done an amazing thing for the planet to just bring awareness and some form of visual representation of how energy really does translate itself into the patterns that we see in nature, and into the way that macroscopic things grow, like the water. And how water really holds memory and is very receptive and susceptible to the energy that it is exposed to.

I think that he’s done an amazing job, because we’re 70% water, and our Earth is 70% water. If we can start becoming more conscious of how our energy and our thoughts affect that water, affect us, it’s great.

Dr. Ibis would like to re-direct the current course of scientific thinking so that all research is done with a pure, noble purpose in mind.

I have a lot of admiration for those scientists who have the bravery, the courage, to branch away from the mainstream and the pressure of credibility within that mainstream of science, and really pursue what they believe is a path with heart and something that can really help humanity in a more holistic and sustainable way.

Like many of us, Dr. Ibis clearly sees the great potential of young people to follow pioneering new paths in the sciences that can uplift our world.

In the younger generations, the people who are going through the system now and being educated in science, I’ve definitely seen more open-mindedness, more interest in other areas. The younger generations of scientists are not as willing to just put the blinders on and go into the tunnel vision mode. They like diversity. They have many different interests, and I think that diversity is leading towards more and more inter-disciplinary work and collaboration and more openness to alternative ideas.

Through their devotion to working for the betterment of humanity, Dr. Theresa Ibis and other broad-minded researchers are introducing their fellow scientists to fresh, new ways of viewing humankind and the Universe. We applaud Dr. Ibis’ goal of uniting the timeless philosophy and spiritual discipline of alchemy with modern science, and thank her for taking the time to speak with us about her thoughtful work.
