Electricity was never external. Every thought, movement, sensation, and emotional response in the human body is governed by electrical activity. Neurons fire through voltage shifts. Muscles contract through electrical signals. Perception itself is bioelectric. Yet this internal system was fragmented, minimized, and redirected outward, into machines and technology, while the body’s own electrical nature was treated as automatic, inaccessible, or fictional. Electrokinesis reclaims that missing understanding. Inside this volume, you will learn: How the human body generates and routes ...
