Has your Beemer got the
blues? Does the minivan’s air
conditioning have issues? Local author
and holistic healer Charles Marshall
says the problem might not be with the
car or minivan but with your own
connection to Mother Earth.
Marshall comes out of the
U.S. Air Force, where he developed
specialties in plumbing, electricity,
air-conditioning, heating and motor
vehicles—a hands-on guy, it would seem:
ratchet wrenches and grease under the
fingernails.
But he also is what he
calls an “empathic intuitivist” and the
creator of an innovative energy
technique called Soular Expansion that
specializes in connecting and increasing
one’s unique spiritual energy to the
Universal Divine.
And now Marshall is the
published author of The Soul Mechanic,
a book he was due to discuss May 9 at
Changing Hands Bookstore and which
captures the lessons he has been
teaching at Southwest Institute of
Healing Arts, also in Tempe.
The institute charges $96
for an 8-hour introductory course to
Marshall’s Soul Mechanics. A few days
prior to his scheduled appearance at
Changing Hands, Wrangler News
interviewed him via email.
Marshall’s publisher,
Lulu.com, promises that The Soul
Mechanic “will explore how our cars
mirror our physical, mental, and
spiritual lives” and “will guide a
person in becoming more in tune and
intimate with one’s past, present, and
future as well as one’s body, mind and
spirit, all by observing one’s car.”
Wrangler
asked him to elaborate.
“Everything on the planet
is made from the basic elements fire,
water, earth and air,” he said.
“Everything—from our
houses, clothes, money, food and
cars—(is) made up from the same
elements. Every part of a car came from
the Earth; the rubber, metal, plastic,
etc., all came from the Earth. The Earth
produces energy and is energy itself.”
So far, so good. But then
Marshall’s explanation gets a little
harder to follow, mixing science and
religion in Marshall’s unique formula:
“Science says that
anything in motion is energy and because
everything on planet Earth is in motion,
including humans, everything is energy.
Science explains that humans formed from
single-celled organisms that emerged
from the muck or mud puddle. Some
religions say, too, that we came from
the mud.
“Science says the atom is
a basic building block of life.
Religions say Adam was the first, which
later subdivided into Eve. Science, too,
subdivided the atom. Both names are
spelled different but we pronounce them
the same. More to the point, no matter
your belief, we came from the Earth.
“Humans came from the
Earth, and humans created the cars which
came from the Earth. We are all energy.
“When we express our
energy via our emotions, our emotions,
too, are energy.
“Energy breaks down
thusly: E = energy. Energy moving is
motion. E+motion = Emotion.”
“When we humans emote it
is vibratory energy,” Marshall wrote.
“If a human is emotional
to an extreme, its vibration will
resonate and affect other energy fields
… If we are highly emotionally charged,
our electrical field begins to affect
other electronic devices.”
Marshall even offers
specifics for diagnosing our personal
problems as manifested by our automotive
ills.
“All emotions can be
categorized into fire, water, earth or
air,” he said. “Anger equals fire.
Sadness or depression equals water. If
we are expressing through
communications, then our cars will
encounter air issues like flat tires,
air-conditioner, and other air related
devices.”
Which means, it seems,
that the minivan’s air conditioning
problem might be caused by its driver’s
problems with communication.
To Marshall, “the most
important thing in our lives is our
BREATH.” Most people don’t get that, he
says.
“Sure, they tell me that
the most important thing in our lives is
money, family, search for God, spiritual
enlightenment and other great answers.
However, they all try to answer the
question by thinking logically. The
answer is too obvious so they all miss
it.
“We should see ourselves
not as physical, mental, and
spiritual, but more simply mechanical,
chemical and electrical. This is what we
are. Anything beyond this is
complicating and confusing … Understand
that the electrical runs the chemical
and the chemical runs the mechanical. If
the mechanical is imbalanced then it
means the chemical is imbalanced and
therefore the electrical system is
imbalanced. Focusing more on the
electrical body should be the first
section addressed.
“If one is in need of a
tune up, have the electrical system
addressed first with therapies such as
Polarity, Cranial, or my own modality,
Soular Expansion. Soular Expansion
addresses the electrical system by
amping up one’s Universal Divine
Connection, which is created by
developing spiritual individuality.”
Got that? Marshall said
he knows some pilots who get it.
“I have a few friends who
are pilots with major airlines who
themselves are spiritually aware and
they understand that when a glitch or
other anomaly suddenly appears, they
first check in with their energy to see
if they are emotionally charged or
imbalanced. I fly recreational aircraft
myself and have encountered full
electronic malfunction. Immediately I
check in with myself and became aware
that I was still thinking of a situation
that I was still charged over hours
prior.”
And K.C. Miller, founder
of the institute where Marshall teaches,
seems to get it. She wrote of Marshall’s
book, The Soul Mechanic, that our
automobiles “may just be the messenger
that the Angels are using for life
lessons to be revealed to you.”
So, Mr. Marshall, what
life lessons can be learned from, say, a
1989 Honda sitting on jackstands because
it needs a new clutch?
Does a new BMW offer
better lessons than an old clunker?
“Not necessarily. A
clutch is representative of a person who
has difficulty engaging in forward
progression somewhere in their present
or future mental states. If a person has
difficulty engaging in forward
progression and buys a brand new BMW, it
won’t be long (about 3 months) that the
BMW will be in the shop.
“If I have a client who
has a particular issue and buys a new
car, I can normally tell them what to
look out for if they become emotionally
charged. Since everything is made up
from the Earth and the Earth then is
made up from the universe and the
universe is a collection of energy, one
can infer that Mother Earth then is
feeding us information via her essence
(fire, water, earth, air).”
