Quantum Physics & The Holy Grail - 1 -

Introduction

Quantum Physics and the Holy Grail is not a book on

mathematics or equations. It has been written to express the

insights that have been given to all humankind, not just to

academics, mathematicians, or physicists. As fellow human

beings, we all share equally in this participatory universe.

Quantum physics, from the 1920’s onward, began to point the

way to a universe that is not independent of the observer. That

is to say and imply, a universe that responds to the observer.

Physicists such as John Archibald Wheeler (1911–2008), John

von Neumann (1903-1957), and Amit Goswami1, to name a

few, all agreed that consciousness somehow effects the

manifestation and nature of the universe.

Historically speaking, this is not a new idea. From the

most ancient Eastern religions to the idealists of Europe and

the West, consciousness as a metaphysical foundation of

reality is a very old conception. Western culture, from the

Greco-Roman period onward, began to move away from such

a worldview little by little. What then made these modern,

Western-trained doctors of physics, so grounded in

materialism, change their position so radically? What

happened in the quantum theory experiments that forced these

men of science to sound more like teachers of Zen Buddhism


than physicists of modernity?

Western science, by the late 1890’s, had nearly closed

the door on physics, believing that all the mechanical laws of

the universe were now known and that there was little, or

nothing, beyond what Sir Isaac Newton and others had

prescribed. Matter was considered co-eternal with the universe

itself, and there was no creation or beginning to the universe.

There was also nothing beyond the Milky Way galaxy, as their

limited instruments had most assuredly taught them; seeing is

believing, is it not?

As providence would have it, this severe under

estimation of the world, from what it truly is, was destined for

destruction by the greater truth of reality. The findings of

quantum physics, which were verified from the 1980’s

forward, forever destroyed the hard objectivity of science. In

1964, the discovery of the echo from the universe’s Big Bang

provided the signpost needed for scientists to realize the

universe had a beginning. In addition, this beginning stemmed

from a point smaller than a green pea! Oddly enough, it was a

clergy scientist, Father Georges-Henri Lemaître2, who in

1927, proposed the Big Bang theory under the designation he

coined as the "hypothesis of the primeval atom.”

Even though science has a different nomenclature than

that of Eastern philosophy, both of their conceptualizations are

very similar, if not identical. From a Hindu3 perspective, the


out-breathing of Brahman, from a single point of

manifestation, creates the universe. This is similar to the Big

Bang theory of science.

Philosophers, both East and West, have been saying

for centuries that the foundation of the universe is based upon

consciousness and not upon physical matter. In fact, John von

Neumann himself remarked, “Consciousnesscollapses the

world.” See Neumann’s Mathematical Foundations of

Quantum Mechanics4 to get a glimpse of his genius.

The other aspect of this writing has to do with

consciousness itself and its relationship to everything. It has to

do with the Holy Grail and what it truly is. This then is a book

on metaphysics in the true philosophical meaning of the word.

It is about the ultimate foundation of truth. The one truth that

science, philosophy, religion, and spirituality all seek. We are

all pilgrims on the same journey seemingly going different

directions, yet with the same goal, all asking the same

question. What is the Holy Grail? The Holy Grail is the one

truth that answers the ultimate questions of science, religion,

philosophy, and spirituality. For there is no science, religion,

philosophy, or spirituality that stands higher than truth.

1. Definitions and Concepts

What is the Holy Grail? The Grail is many different

things to many different people. To some, the Grail is the cup

that Christ drank from at the last supper. For others, the Grail

is the body, bloodline, and womb of Mary Magdalene.1

Sometimes this is known by the Old French term sangrail,

meaning Holy Grail or royal bloodline. The movie, The Da

Vinci Code, makes these points quite explicitly.2 All of these

descriptions of the Grail are outward physical perceptions of

the Grail. The inner perception of the Holy Grail’s truer

meaning is much subtler.

The word Grail is derived from the Middle Latin word

gradalis, where we also get the Latin word gradus, which

means step or degree. Our modern Latin word would be

Gradient. In other words, the Grail itself is like a ladder with

steps on it. There are seven steps; each step is a grade higher

than the one below it. These are gradients (or steps) in higher

consciousness.

The word Holy is derived from the Greek word Helios,

which refers to the Sun. Thus, the Holy Spirit is the Sun Spirit.

The Holy Bible is then the Book of the Sun. The Sun is the

ruler of Sunday. Therefore, all the Solar Mysteries take place

on Sunday, such as Christianity in all of its forms. In the field

of astrology, the Sun represents the individual consciousness


of the person involved, while the ascendant of the horoscope is

the personality.3

Ultimately, what we are dealing with here are the

many different gradients of higher consciousness. Like the

seven chakras of Eastern philosophy, there are seven levels of

consciousness for each human being. To find the Grail is to

reach the higher stages of consciousness. The highest human

stage of consciousness in Western terms is Christ

Consciousness.

The Masters of Wisdom teach that there are seven rays

of creation. This is why we have seven days in a week. Each

day has a planetary ruler. Venus rules Friday. The Venus

mysteries take place on Fridays. Thus, the Muslim holy day is

Friday and it is part of the Venus mysteries. The Muslim star

and crescent are really the phases of Venus. Saturn rules

Saturday and is part of the Hebrew mysteries. The ancient

Hebrews paid homage to the star Chokma or Wisdom and is

recorded in the Old Testament (Amos 5:26). This is the planet

Saturn and it rules Saturday or the Jewish Sabbath. The Sun

rules Sunday and is, of course, the solar mystery stream. All

forms of Christianity are based on the solar mysteries.4

For every mystery stream there is a shadow stream that

is the counter image of the progressive stream. This counter

image or shadow is the unredeemed part of the mystery stream

and shows a misuse of the stream’s original energy. Thus,


there are counter solar mysteries that work against the true

light of the intended stream. In the solar mystery case, it

would be the anti-Christ stream. This counter image stream

can only hinder, but never defeat, the intended progressive

streams of the seven rays. These counter streams serve to

develop us and ultimately will be redeemed by us as we

evolve through them. The main thing here is to recognize the

difference and to not be taken in by the counter image.

The gradient or Grail of consciousness in humanity can

be divided into at least four main compartments, according to

modern science. True science will always reflect spiritual

truth, and true spiritual knowledge will always support the

findings of real science. The four levels of human

consciousness are waking or Beta, dreaming or Alpha,

dreamless sleep or Theta, and a trance-like state or Delta.

Brain scientists have measured these states of consciousness in

cycles per second (CPS). Each state has its own CPS or

wavelength. Beta is 14-21 CPS, Alpha is 7-14 CPS, Theta is

4-6 CPS, and Delta is ¼ to 4 CPS. A Buddhist monk, who has

been meditating for twenty years, can reach the Alpha state in

just under two minutes. (He also can reach the Gamma state of

40 CPS.)

Initiates are human beings who are ahead of the rest of

us in spiritual development by thousands of years. Any high-

ranking initiate has what is called a continuity of


consciousness.5 This means that at every one of the four stages

of human consciousness, they are fully self aware and

functioning. They do not dream, or sleep, nor are they ever

unconscious. They are consciously one with their Higher Self.

They have transformed the personality to be in absolute

harmony with our Spirit Man. They have reached full Christ

consciousness. They have obtained the Grail.

Thirteenth century stories, like Parzival6 by Wolfram

Von Eschenbach, tell of the grail knights who seek the Holy

Grail. Works such as this are the foundations for the stories of

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Parzival,

also known as the fool, is the one knight who finds the Grail in

this story. He actually finds the Grail castle twice. The first

time he is not developed enough to know where he is. He

needs to develop so that he can be aware when he is on higher

levels of consciousness. The story of Parzival is our story. We

are also in need of development in higher consciousness.

To find the Grail and not lose it is to see the spiritual

within the physical world. We are not to shun the physical

world. Ancient Eastern teachers taught that doctrine at one

time, and it was proper at that time in human history, but it

does not apply now. Consciousness is not static. Human

consciousness changes in time as well as the whole physical

brain and universe. We are to learn from the physical world. It

is our training ground. Use your time wisely. The goal is this,


eventually; all of humanity will find higher self-awareness as a

species.

At that time in the distant future, we will all have

found the Grail and will be ready to work consciously with the

higher progressive gods. Humanity as a whole is now known

as the Hierarchy of Love by the higher progressive gods. The

day will come when we will not experience death and

reincarnation anymore. That cycle will end. We will together

co-create a new Earth, esoterically known as the New

Jerusalem.7

We will then have the resurrected immortal

body/vehicle like the Christ and the Masters do. Our divine

body is the vehicle of the Grail itself and is the result of

spiritual development and consciousness. The higher gods

need us to complete their own evolution, just as we need them.

It is all for one and one for all. We eventually all get there

together. Those who are ahead of us at this time send their

love and inspiration and eagerly wait for the dawning of Sons

and Daughters of God to become manifest. I welcome you

today to join the great quest for the Holy Grail.

Greater Resolution

We have now asserted and concluded that the “Grail”

is a symbolic reference to the many levels of higher


consciousness that humanity will someday develop

sequentially. However, we do not have to wait for global

planetary initiations to occur, like the one predicted in

December of 2012 by the Mayan researchers, to obtain to

higher levels of consciousness. We can, individually and

collectively, work on them now.

The best way to work on these things is to first have a

basic understanding of occult history. This is the hidden

history as to how we really got here. If the eye is open and the

mind receptive, one will notice that we have four stages of

consciousness. We experience all of them every twenty-four

hours. These four modalities of consciousness are waking,

dreaming, dreamless sleep, and trance-like. Just as a study of

embryology can reveal a record of all the forms our human

body has gone through to reach the stage it is now at, so can

an understanding of our history of consciousness tell us even

more.

In the womb, we can clearly see that a human being

goes through a metamorphous transformation from a soft

mineral-like zygote, to something vegetable like, to an animal

with gills and a tail, and finally to the human form as we

recognize it today. This observation alone, it must be

remembered, is only a physical understanding, and does not

even scratch the surface of the greater history that led up to the

beginning of the physical world. You see, we do not evolve in


a vacuum; the solar system and the earth evolve as humanity

evolves. There is no major transformation in the development

of humanity without a cosmic parallelism. When the sexes

separated off from being androgynous, the current Moon8 of

today separated from the Earth about where the Pacific Ocean

currently resides. Every now and then, someone is born still

containing both male and female reproductive organs all in

one body.

This is one example of how the macrocosm is reflected

in the microcosm and vice versa. This spiritual fact led to

several occult expressions among the initiates. One expression

was found on the emerald tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, “As

above so below.” Another expression by Protagoras stated,

“Man is the measure of all things: of those that are, that they

are; and of those that are not, that they are not.”

By analogy, just as one may have an insight of

physical evolutionary history by the study of embryology, one

may also observe the history of self awareness and

consciousness development in humanity, by looking at our

current four levels of consciousness. It was Dr. Carl Jung, the

psychiatrist, who first pointed out that not everyone on the

planet earth is necessarily living in the same century, mentally

speaking. Even within our four types of consciousness we are

not all equally developed.


To reiterate, our four main categories of consciousness

are waking state, dreaming, dreamless sleep, and trance-like

state. To find out what these states are, how we got them,

where they came from, and in what order they were developed

is a tremendous task. To do this we must start with the

writings of Theosophy9 and Anthroposophy10. These two

movements of the 19th and 20th centuries came directly from

the impulses created by those high and mighty beings known

as the Masters of Wisdom. A great corpus of writings and

information has come from these spiritual impulses, and many

branch-like movements have sprung from them. It is from this

occult information that we shall glean our basic understanding

of these issues.

What we must first realize is that as humanity develops

and evolves, so does the solar system and the Earth itself. It is

taught that there are seven great incarnations of the solar

system and its planetary systems or chains as they are called.

We are in the fourth incarnation of our planetary system now.

This is why we have four levels of consciousness. Each one

was developed sequentially through each of the four

incarnations (or rounds) of our earth.

During the first incarnation, the roots of our physical

body were developed along with a rudimentary form of

consciousness known as the trance like state. This state is

similar to that of present day minerals and crystals.


Collectively taken, this could be called the mineral kingdom.

At this stage, humanity only had a warmth body. Our Divine

Spark (or Monad) hovered over the physical body but could

not yet enter it. The Divine Hierarchy of creators created this

warmth body for us.

During the second incarnation of our planetary system,

we developed the roots of our etheric body and a rudimentary

form of consciousness known as the dreamless sleep state.

This state is very similar to that of present day plants and

vegetables. Collectively taken, this could be called the

vegetable kingdom. At this stage humanity had two bodies,

one physical and one etheric, but not densely physical like

today’s matter. Our Monads still could not yet enter these two

bodies.

During the third incarnation of our planetary system,

we developed the root of our astral body and a rudimentary

form of picture consciousness now known as our present day

dream state. This state is very similar to that of our present day

animals. Collectively taken, this could be called the animal

kingdom. At this stage humanity had three bodies, one

physical, one etheric, and one astral. The planetary system at

this stage was now denser than the two prior stages. Our astral

body was still too wild and unrefined for our Divine Monads

to dwell within it.


During the fourth incarnation of our planetary system,

a recapitulation of all the prior stages of planetary incarnations

repeated themselves before the fourth stage could be fully

developed. This was a common occurrence in all the prior

stages of planetary incarnations and evolution, each according

to what had preceded it. In the fourth stage, we developed the

vehicle for our ego consciousness. This allowed us to have

self-awareness. This is what we call our waking state. Our

Divine Monads were then able to incarnate during what is

called the Lumerian Period of Evolution. At this point, the

bodies of humanity were evolved enough to allow for the

incarnation of our Monad, which brought forth the beginnings

of what would later become the waking state of the lower ego.

On our current globe, the Lumerian state preceded the

Atlantean Epoch, which preceded our current Fifth Epoch.

There will be seven great Epochs on our current Earth Globe.

Figure 1-1: The above is a thumbnail sketch of the Earth ChainRound, which is estimated to last for untold ages.


We now have four bodies, not just one physical body.

We have also four states of consciousness, not just one waking

state. We have experienced the human mineral, human

vegetable, human animal, and human being stage of our

evolution through the cosmos on various different planets or

globes.11 Then next key in our understanding is to understand

the sleep cycle of modern humanity from a spiritual point of

view.

Every night we go through all of our stages of

consciousness and return in the morning, awakened and

refreshed. During the sleep cycle, the ego and the astral body

completely withdraw from the physical and etheric bodies. At

death, the etheric withdraws with the astral body and the ego,

thus ending all relationship to the physical body, which then

quickly disintegrates into minerals and dust. To a certain

degree, we die every night.12

As stated earlier, initiates are awake at every one of

these levels of consciousness according to their own personal

stage of development. Rudolph Steiner, towards the end of his

incarnation, was awake at every level of consciousness and

therefore did not sleep at night the way we do. He had what is

known as continuity of consciousness. The Western initiates

have named the first four stages of planetary evolution

discussed this far. They are as follows: the first stage is the


Saturn stage, the second stage is the Sun stage, the third stage

is the Moon stage, and the fourth stage is the Earth stage.

We are all Earth initiates if we are self aware and

awake on the Earth (or fourth stage). To be awake on both the

Earth and the Moon stage is to be a Lunar initiate. This was

Helena P. Blavatsky’s level; she was a Lunar initiate. Rudolph

Steiner was a Saturn initiate, being fully awake at all four

stages of consciousness. This allowed him to read the

universal Akasic records directly, because they exist at such a

high level of consciousness that a Lunar initiate, for example,

would not have direct access to them. A Lunar initiate would

only see the reflection of the Akasic records in the astral light,

and could easily get distorted information. However, Helena

P. Blavatsky had the help of her Eastern Masters to keep her

accurate.

Some Conclusions

I do not expect a newcomer to esoteric philosophy to

grasp all that has been discussed in this chapter. It is not

necessary that you comprehend all the data presented here; it

is only a thumbnail sketch. However, the reader will see that

as we review the latest scientific conceptualizations and

theories, they begin to resemble the teachings of the Masters

and their students.


We have covered large chunks of data, though only

superficially, in this first chapter. If you care to delve deeper

into the areas discussed here in this chapter, you may like to

consider reading one of my earlier books, Essential Healing:

Therapy and Consciousness, which contains many graphics

and charts, endnotes, and a very ample bibliography that you

may find helpful.

9 Theosophy was a spiritual movement begun by Madame Helena P.Blavatsky under the direct permission of the Eastern Masters of Wisdom.


The outer movement was and still is human managed, but the inneresoteric circles within the movement were under the direct overseeing ofthe Masters themselves. This movement began in 1875 and is still heretoday. However, in my opinion, the Masters withdrew their interest fromthe movement at the death of Helena P. Blavatsky because of thequestionable actions of Annie Beasant and Charles Leadbeater, which werein certain areas, in direct contradiction to what Blavatsky and her Mastershad taught. See The Elder Brother: A Biography of Charles WebsterLeadbeater by Gregory Tillett, and H. P. Blavatsky: The Great Betrayal byAlive Leighton Cleather for more details. The two greatest works by H. P.Blavatsky are Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine.

10 Anthroposophy was a spiritual movement started by Dr. Rudolph Steinerin 1912. Originally, Steiner was a spiritual teacher and head of the GermanLodge of Theosophy. Steiner had a falling out with Theosophy whenAnnie Beasant and Charles Leadbeater wreaked havoc on the movementby announcing Jiddu Krishnamurti (a young Indian boy who wasdiscovered by Leadbeater) as the return of Christ, the new world teacher.The anti-Christian bias of Theosophy has never fully been abated eventoday. However, it did at that time create the right cosmic condition toallow Rudolph Steiner (who was, in fact, a higher initiate than evenBlavatsky) to balance out the karma involved. One of Steiner’s greatest foundational writings is An Outline of Occult Science. Steiner andBlavatsky may very well be, with a few exceptions, the two highestinitiates of higher consciousness to ever be allowed to speak publicly abouthidden truths in several thousand years.

11 In occult cosmology, the Earth has seven globes. Only the one we liveon now is visible. Our Monads (or Divine Sparks) will transverse each ofthese globes seven times each. This is known as a Planetary Chain Round.One Round is known as a Planetary Round, which is only one visit to eachof the seven Globes. Further, breaking it down, each Globe will have sevenconditions during each round known as root races. Humanity at the time ofthis writing is in its Fourth Round, on the Fourth Globe of Seven, and isnow in its Fifth Root Race or condition, on our current Earth. This teachingis part of the lower mysteries of initiation and occultism, which have beenmade public since the publishing of the Secret Doctrine in 1888.

2. Going Quantum: The Long and Winding Road

It is hard to believe that the electron was not

discovered until 1897, just barely over a century ago.

Furthermore, the neutron was not discovered until 1932. We

all naturally assume that science proceeds sequentially and

systematically along a logical path, each step being built upon

the knowledge that went before it. However, this is not the

case, because a flawed being, a human being, is doing science.

It was at the University of Windsor that I was first

introduced to a study course on the philosophy of science. The

person of study who most impressed me was Thomas Samuel

Kuhn and his famous book, The Structure of Scientific

Revolutions1. Kuhn presumed that science proceeded in a

piece-by-piece progression. He thought a book on the history

of scientific revolutions would be easy to write and would be

obviously chronological. However, he soon discovered that

this was not the case.

Using Western history’s record of the scientific

transition from a geocentric earth-centered solar system to a

heliocentric sun-centered solar system, a very different story

emerged. Kuhn discovered that science does not progress via a

linear accumulation of new knowledge, but actually undergoes

periodic revolutions or jumps, which he named paradigm

shifts.


Kuhn discovered that a scientist was never fully

objective and could never fully divorce himself from his own

subjectivity towards his own theories. When the heliocentric

theory was presented, it was not greeted with open arms. Even

though the heliocentric theory could explain more fully the

celestial movements of the planets, including the phases of

Venus, rather than change, astronomers revamped their old

theories to force them to explain what they could not explain

before. They even created the concept of epicycles to explain

why planets appeared to move backwards and forwards

through the heavens. Oddly enough, this worked even though

it was not true, and it allowed them to remain geocentric in

their theories. This also pleased the Roman Church, whom at

that time in history was theologically against heliocentricity.

So when does the change take place? It happens when

the new theory not only answers all the questions the old

theory could, but also answers all the questions the old theory

could not. At such a point, a crisis is built up and a paradigm

shift takes place in science itself. It is more like a paradigm

jump to a new worldview rather than a smooth logical

transition. Nevertheless, it takes a crisis and much tribulation

of the soul before scientists give up the ghost and make the

jump to a new paradigm (apparently theologians have this

problem also).

Albert Einstein himself, fell into this trap of subjective


obsessive behavior, and he could not accept the uncertainty

principle2 of quantum physics. Yet, all the formulas and

experiments absolutely verified the validity of the uncertainty

principle. He went to his grave looking for the unified field or

unknown variable to try to explain away the uncertainty

principle. Thus, his famous expression: “God does not play

dice.” Niels Bohr’s fast response to Einstein was, “Do not tell

God what to do with his dice.” In this statement, Bohr is

correct; a scientist is to be a passive observer with an open

mind. If God exists, then we should observe what God is

doing and not tell God how to do it. This applies to both

scientists and theologians

The Great Divorce

If we go further back into Western history, we can see

that there was a time when science, religion, and philosophy

were one reality. Pythagoras of Samos (495 BC) was an

Ionian Greek philosopher and

founder of the religious movement

called Pythagoreanism.3 He taught

his followers that numbers had

both a qualitative value as well as

quantitative value. One of his most famous teachings is his

Pythagorean theorem shown above. This formula or theorem


can be written A2 + B2 = C2. This is, of course, the formula for

finding the length of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.

We still use it today in our basic algebra and geometry classes.

This example shows his scientific aspect. However, he had

another side to his science, if I may use this term historically

speaking.

The Pythagorean Decade based upon the “sacred four”

or Tetraktys is a prime example of what I mean. Numerically

and quantitatively, it was expressed as

1+2+3+4=10. Qualitatively and visually,

it represented the four stages of universal

cosmology.4 From the One or Monad

came the duad or straight line, next came

the three or triad or triangle, and finally the four separated

points or tetrad becoming a solid square. The full meaning of

this symbol was never given out publicly.

The Monad or One is the point of manifestation of our

universe, the spiritual drive behind the physical Big Bang.

From this point, the original homogeneous substance of

existence becomes polarized (or dual) in nature. Through its

heterogeneous separateness and union, it gives birth to the

third. The third lays the foundation for the fourth, and the

fourth gives expression to the physical side of the universe.

Taken as a whole, all ten dots as shown above, are

representative of the noumenal spiritual Matter or Substance.


Together, they give birth to the manifestation of the

phenomenal world of the physical senses.5

Enter Democritus

Prior to the fall of Rome, which began the Dark Ages

and the suppression of free thought, there was another school

of Greek philosopher/scientists who

were not as spiritual as Pythagoras.

They are often classified as the pre-

Socratic philosophers. One such

philosopher was Democritus (460

BC - 370 BC). Democritus was the

co-originator of the belief that all

matter is made up of various imperishable, indivisible

particles, which he called atoma,6 from which we get the

English word atom.7 Many scholars have hailed him as the

father of Western science. I believe this is only partly true. I

would infer that he was the father of Western materialism,

believing that atoms were indivisible particles of matter. Of

course, quantum mechanics challenges this position fully now.

Democritus was also a pioneer of mathematics and

geometry in particular. He observed and created many volume

type formulas for cones and cylinders among others.

Unfortunately, like so many other great Western thinkers, his


writings did not survive the Middle Ages. The Christian

Church eventually closed down all philosophy academies and

independent schools of learning. The great divorce was then

waxed solid and fixed between science and religion. The Dark

Ages were now present and would not begin to wane until the

Renaissance. This was a sad time for the West.

Enter Rene Descartes

While there are many heroes we could choose from

who stood against the Church in the name of science, there is

none more pivotal than Rene Descartes (1596–1650). Being a

contemporary of Galileo Galilei (1564 –1642), he knew what

could happen to him if he crossed swords with the Roman

Church. What Rene did was to covertly sneak in his ideas

about physics, through a philosophical writing he called

Meditations. He presented this writing to the Faculty of

Theology of Paris, almost on his knees, and they accepted it.

While this Trojan horse trick worked with the Church,

the Devil wanted his dues to be paid for also. He was paid off

in what is now known philosophically as mind-body-dualism.

This is how Rene pulled it off. He convinced the Church that

the mind, soul, and spirit were not in the domain of science.

The physical world, however, was. The human body, like the

universe, is just a machine. Thus, we can play with a machine,


test it, measure it, weigh it, and do physics with it.8

The mind, however, was to be under the domain of the

Church. Thus, it could all be summed up with, “Matter is for

science, and Mind is for the Church.” However, Descartes was

left with a challenge. If the mind is of a different substance

than physical matter, how does it communicate to the human

body, which is made of physical matter? What is the medium

that transfers the force between them?

Descartes could not answer this question. He suggested

that the soul communicated to the body via the pineal gland

located in the center of the brain. However, this did not solve

the problem, and Descartes died of pneumonia before he could

attempt a resolution.

Modern materialist science will argue that there is no

resolution. This is due to the laws of thermal dynamics. These

laws emphatically state that there would always have to be an

exchange of energy between the mind and body. Since there is

no exchange that can be measured, the mind must be material,

albeit of a finer gradient of matter, but nonetheless physical.

When matter becomes sophisticated enough in its

composition, the mind emerges. At least, this is the

materialists’ catechism.

From Rene Descartes forward, scientific philosophy

began to form its creed. By the late 19th century, science was

confident that it had discovered all the laws of physics. All


that was left to do was just apply them for the benefit of

humanity. Then, a prophecy given by Helena Petrovna

Blavatsky, the great theosophist (1831 –1891), rang true. She

said that she would not be understood metaphysically until the

20th century. Her position being that consciousness is the

ultimate foundation of reality, not physical matter.

In the 20th century, quantum physics began to discover

these two things, put in the simplest of terms: 1) atoms are not

solid particles; 2) measurement, or consciousness, causes the

collapse of the electron into a particle from a wave.

Consciousness affects the physical world! Roll over Descartes,

and give the theologians of Paris the news.

Some Conclusions

We have roughly shown the origins of material

dualism as developed by Western culture. In the next chapter,

we will continue this line of thought to show just how deeply

entrenched this became in the Christian Church and how this

affected Western science for centuries. Along with great

advances in materialistic science came much suffering and

ignorance from organized theology.

3. Spiritual Dualism in the Church

What made the Roman Church so susceptible to Rene

Descartes’ propositions as presented in his Meditations? The

answer is easily found in the very beginnings of the organized

Church, starting with Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus,

anglicized as Tertullian (155–222 A.D.). Tertullian, known for

coining the term Trinity in reference to the Christian Godhead,

described it as Three Persons all sharing one substance. In

addition to this, Tertullian was very concerned about the

origins of physical matter. He knew that Greek thinkers (like

Democritus) believed matter to be eternal, thus this would

make physical matter co-equal to God.

Greek thinking and its affects on the early Church

cannot be overestimated. Even Saint Augustine of Hippo

remarked that the Greeks and Egyptians were Christians

before Christ came to give a name to the religion they already

believed.1 Concepts like the Logos are Greek in origin.

Furthermore, even the New Testament was written in Greek.

This may seem strange to the modern mind, but

Tertullian was battling against Paganism and Panpsychism.

Briefly stated, these views asserted that all physical matter

was endowed with mind stuff and that the whole universe was

a living organism. This would have challenged Church

doctrine in many areas.


If matter was eternal and pre-existent (like the Greeks

taught), then it was parallel to God; and this challenged the

absolute transcendence of God over His creation. This was a

problem for the Christian fathers. Moreover, if matter was

created, what was it created out of? The Hebrew account of

creation has no reference in Genesis to account for the

existence and creation of matter explicitly. Therefore, the

ontological status of matter for Christianity is somewhat vague

and ambiguous. Tertullian was perplexed by this theological

problem. Therefore, he decided to resolve it.

Having found no reference for it in any of the

scriptures, Tertullian created the doctrine known as Creatio ex

nihilo, or Creation out of Nothing2. Tertullian used a lot of

circular logic to justify his position, and while this doctrine

was not explicitly stated in the scriptures, he weakly argued

that it was implied. In my opinion, the only thing so far ever

created out of nothing, is this very doctrine of Tertullian.

This doctrine reinforced a more severe body-mind

dualism that orthodox Christianity has never recovered from

intellectually or theologically. This ultimately destroyed

Greek-influenced Christian Idealism and strengthened the

Church’s reception of Descartes’ body-mind dualism that

dominates theology even today.

To be fair, it should be mentioned that Tertullian

changed his theological position on other things towards the


end of his life. He believed that the canonized books of the

Church were not closed, and that God was still giving new

scriptural revelations to His Church. He became of follower of

Montanism3.

What is interesting here is that the majority of the

Church’s main doctrines were developed from trying to

combat the inquisitive minds of the Greek philosophers and

theologians. This dogmatic, defensive attack upon free thought

by the Church does not end here, but continues even today.

The early Church fathers did not like open-ended questions

and did not appreciate the depth of the Alexandrian Christian

Church. Instead, they desired truncated compressions of truths

in the form of closed arguments that reinforced their biases.

Perfection is Static and Transcendent

The Greeks had another concept known as the Prime

Mover. The Prime Mover moved the universe without moving

itself. It never changed; it was perfect and transcendent. It was

not a creator; it was the architect of the creation. This was the

image of Greek perfection: static, changeless, and

transcendent. As time went by, even the Greek schools of

thought became corrupted, and these doctrines were twisted

and misused for political ends.

Simply put, if perfection is changeless, then the more


something changes, the more imperfect it is. For example, a

woman’s body changes more than a man’s body due to

pregnancy and giving birth. Therefore, a male is more

perfected –more like the Prime Mover or God –than the

female. This concept opened the door for this Greek influence

on two later Church fathers: Saint Jerome (347-420) and Saint

Augustine of Hippo (354-430).

Both Church fathers were so inundated with this Greek

definition of perfection, they were fully convinced that at the

resurrection of the dead, at the end of the ages, no female

could go directly to heaven. Both church fathers speculated

that at the resurrection of the dead, all women must be

changed in some way to be more like males, in order to enter

heaven. This is the dark side of mind-body dualism. It justifies

sexism, racism, and disrespect to Earth as a living being

(allowing for the dismissal of responsible environmentalism).

First: No Eternal Matter; Now: No Eternal Spirit

The Church was not ultimately satisfied with just the

elimination of physical matter from eternity or with the

subjugation of women due to the static view of Greek

perfection. It had another problem. Was a human being a

spirit, a soul, and a body? If a human being was a tripartite

being, then what is the spirit? What if it is Divine in nature?


Then how do we justify the Church’s position on salvation?

Why would people need the Church to find God if God is

already within them?

At the Eighth Ecumenical Council: Constantinople IV,

in 869 A.D., it was decided that a human being had only a soul

and a body.4 A human being did not have a spirit. Even though

the Western scriptures taught that humanity had a spirit, a

soul, and a body, the Church disagreed with it. After all, the

body of Church fathers decided what the scriptures mean for

the body of followers.

This doctrine of no human spirit created what

historian’s call an unintended result. This doctrine allowed for

the development of an even stronger materialistic view of the

world. The bastard child of the Church itself is materialistic

atheism, along with the imitation Church currently known as

the corporation. However, this is not the worst of it. The

whole Christian Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic,

Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox closed the door on inner

spiritual development forever. Since there were no occult

powers for humanity to develop, and no Divine spirit in a

human being to be enlightened to, and the material world was

for science to explore, the whole Church became an

unconscious spiritual materialist. They became a static, dead

form of ritual without transcendent purpose or aims. Except

for going to Church on Sundays, atheists, materialists, and


Christians all lived in the same world of physics and

unconsciously shared a whole plethora of similar values5.

As a result, the Christian Church’s doctrines of

extreme exclusiveness reared its ugly intolerant head again

and again: in the Crusades to the Holy Land, the Spanish

Inquisition, the destruction of the Knights Templar, the

suppression of science and philosophy, and the demonizing of

any religion that taught the divinity of humanity or another

way of salvation.6

The Materialist Union of Science and Religion

By the end of the 19th century, the Church and science

were walking hand-in-hand down the materialistic highway of

life, both blissfully unconscious of each other. Matter was

made up of particles called atoms, and Newtonian physics

answered all possible questions. God was transcendent beyond

physical matter and could not be measured or disproved. Then

suddenly, without warning, the veil of Isis was slightly lifted,

and the crack between a post-Newtonian physics and Christian

dualism began.

This rent between Christian dualism and physics

begins with the discovery of quantum mechanics. Names like

Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Plank, von

Neumann, and Wheeler become the new apostles of a physics


that goes beyond Newtonian materialism and Christian mind-

body dualism. It is from here that our modern story can finally

begin. However, we first have to discuss the philosophical

views of metaphysics in the next chapter. Then our

foundations will have been laid.

Of course, most of these movements wereconsidered heresies or heterodox by many mainstream orthodox churches.The Charismatic movement was allowed to run its course in many CatholicChurches, perhaps just to monitor the membership.

6 To the average orthodox Christian, I have no complaint and I salute thegood works that they do. They are only the innocent victims of their ownmisguided theologians who are themselves the victims of tradition andanachronism.


4. Why Metaphysics?

I will always be grateful to my philosophy professors

at the University of Detroit Mercy for stressing the

fundamental importance of metaphysics. Metaphysics is a

subdivision of philosophy, just like ethics, epistemology,

political science, economics, or anthropology. Simply stated,

metaphysics is our theory of reality.1 In other words, what is

the basis of reality? How did the universe get here? Is the

universe real? Are we all asleep in some gigantic objective

dream? Do atoms exist? What is our theory of origins?

Unless one is a trained philosopher, theologian, or

scientist, one does not realize how one’s theory of

metaphysics determines one’s personal theory of anthropology

and ethics. Yet, trained or untrained, every one of us performs

this philosophical calculus everyday. Our personal theory of

anthropology will determine what we say a person is; and

what we say a person is, will determine our ethical value and

treatment of that person. All this is determined by our theory

of origins, or metaphysics, whether we know it or not.

For example, if I believe that the universe is one big

series of mindless, purposeless, materialistic events, then I will

see humanity as an accident having little worth or purpose. I

might even see humanity as a virus attacking the planet and

support holding back treatment of illnesses in third-world


countries, thereby allowing diseases to remove them so I can

survive. I might see abortion as a necessary survival tool to

control over-population.

On the other hand, if my metaphysics dictated that an

all-powerful God created the universe and oversees what is

happening, then my anthropology and ethics would be very

different than the materialist. I might see a human being as a

sacred creature made in the image of the creator. Thus, I might

be against abortion and the unkind treatment of the poor in

third world nations.

These two extreme examples are over-simplified to

make this point: we all suffer from a philosophical

determinism because of our theories of metaphysics. Whether

we get our metaphysics from our priest, pastor, professor, the

Bible, the Quran, the Torah, the Hindu Puranas, the Buddhist

Sutras, a book on science, television, the university, or a

dream, we are all philosophically determined. Thus, your

metaphysics is your worldview, your paradigm.

Monism versus Dualism

The famous Christian theologian C. S. Lewis once

remarked that materialism was for boys, and that the only real

choices for intellectual adults was between dualism and

monism. He himself, while fully rejecting monism, fully


understood its significance. Even though there are other

metaphysical paradigms such as pluralism, I believe C. S.

Lewis was partly right in his philosophical assessment. I have

also limited the discussion to just three views as shown in

graphic 4-1 below.

Graphic 4-1: Monism and Dualism

Under the Monistic Idealism2 heading, I have

illustrated what is most commonly known as Eastern

philosophy or religion. In this scenario, God is both

transcendent and immanent within the creation or universe.

There are three subdivisions to this view. They are:

(1) God is transcendent only, and all of creation does not


really exist; it is less than an illusion, it has never

happened. Therefore, God is not present in the illusion of

the universe since it does not exist. This illusion is

represented with the dashed circle labeled nothing. All that

is, which is God, is one.

(2) God is both transcendent and immanent within the

creation. The creation is a qualified illusion and appears to

be independent of the observer, but it is not. It is

dependent on God’s immanent presence to exist. All that

is, is one.

(3) Both God transcendent and immanent are equally both

real, but only the transcendent Godhead has eternal

duration. Universes and heavens may last for trillions of

years, yet they will all end, only to be born again after an

equally long period of rest. All that is, is ultimately one.

In all three general views of Monistic Idealism,

consciousness is the metaphysical foundation of reality. Mind

and matter are the results of consciousness. Consciousness

underlies all of reality and is in every atom on up to the

Godhead. C. S. Lewis considered this view to be a strong

challenge to Christianity’s Dualistic Idealism. There are many

minds, but only one consciousness, which all minds share.

In Dualistic Idealism,3 God is transcendent and

separate from His creation. God is not in the creation but

stands outside of it. Built upon a limited understanding of


Plato, this became Christianity’ssystem of metaphysics along

with Judaism and Islam. Thus, the creation, being separate

from God, is in a fallen state due to sin and corruption and

needs a Savior to reconnect and redeem it back to God. Thus,

all the legends of the fall of humanity have metaphysical

justification with this paradigm. God then is only immanent in

His Church, which leads to strong exclusivity between

believers and nonbelievers.

In graphic 4-1, the ladder between the Creation and

God transcendent represents the Savior who reconnects them

back to God. This Savior is comparable to Moses, Jesus, and

Mohammed. There are needs for Saviors or Avatars in the

Monistic Idealism system of philosophy also, however, they

come to rule over a humanity of who they themselves actually

are. Humanity is just a minor spark of the Divine Flame itself.

In Dualistic Idealism, a human being is a created being who

may gain immortality. Whereas, in Monistic Idealism,

humanity’s true Self is God. All contain the Buddha seed.

Finally, I have presented Monistic Materialism with

only one circle labeled the Creation. For the materialist, there

is nothing beyond the physical world. Matter existed first.

When it became sophisticated enough, life evolved; and later

on, consciousness emerged as a by-product of matter and life.

Even though there are materialistic pluralists who follow the

ways of Aristotle, science is proving Aristotle wrong.


Quantum physics had begun to demonstrate a substratum in

the physical universe where subatomic particles become non-

local in a void of non-local unity. Yes, materialistic science is

moving towards a monistic view of reality. Books like The

Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra are representative of this view.

In fact, at the Big Bang, the whole universe was compacted

and entangled in a primal atom smaller than a green pea!4

In my opinion, modern science is proving monism to

be true and dualism to be false. Monism is proving to be

another blow to the Western Church’s dogmatic dualistic

idealism and is even more threatening than the heliocentric

solar system and Darwinists’ theories of evolution

combined—both of which Sigmund Freud pointed out long

ago as being significant deathblows to Western theology as

well as the Western psyche.

Which monism will it be? Will it be the materialistic

monism that looks at consciousness as epiphenomenal?

Alternatively, will it be a monistic idealism, which sees

consciousness as the foundation of all reality? As we now

explore the implications of quantum physics, I believe the

contrast between these views will emerge with only one left

standing.


Some Conclusions

Having now finished our orientation historically and

philosophically, in the next chapter we begin to look at the key

aspects of quantum physics. We will begin to look at the

particle and wave theories of light and some of the inferred

consequences of the physics experiments themselves.

5. Waves + Particles = Wavicles

If we were to take an introductory biology or chemistry

course in high school or college, we would be confronted with

the particle –or corpuscular theories of light and the particle

theory of the elements. The table of elements is presented to

us in a graphic or chart in our textbook, and on the wall of the

classroom itself. Being babes in the woods, we accept these

premises as being true. However, if we continue in our studies

beyond the introductory level, we soon discover that on the

subatomic level of reality, these premises are not true.

So how do we do as the ancient mystics say and, “Lift

the Veil of Isis?” It all starts with a man by the name of

Thomas Young1 (1773–1829) and his famous double slit

experiment2. From Democritus to the time of Newton, it was

believed that everything, including light, was made up of tiny

atomic particles. Young did not have the coherent light3 of a

laser, like modern-day scientists do. Young believed that by

shining light through a double slit, you should get two light

images on the wall. If light were made up of particles, it would

be like dumping particles of sand from a bucket through two

slots and getting two piles of sand (see graphic 5-1 on the next

page). In the figure noted, notice how the sand creates two

piles because of being strained through two openings. If light

is made of atoms, and atoms are little particles like sand, then


they should also trace a neat outline of two slots on a receptive

screen.

Figure 5-1: Sand particles passing through two slots.

However, when Young did finally shine his light

through the two slots, he did not get two silhouettes of light on

the receptor screen.4 Instead, he got a wave pattern (see figure

5-2). This result was unexpected and baffling to Young. Many

years past until this experiment was redone with modern

instruments. This is where the anomalies begin to unwind

about the subatomic world, and where quantum physics begins

to form.

In figure 5-2, we have depicted a light source, shining


through two slots, emanating waves, similar to the ripples

created on a lake surface from a plummeting pebble. After

passing through the slots, these waves interfere with each

other, creating a series of crested impacts against a receptive

screen. This is similar to waves in the ocean hitting a sea wall.

Figure 5-2: Intersecting waves of light interfering.

In the more modern experiments, by shining a

coherent laser light source through a single square slit, one

should see a single square outline on the wall or photographic

plate. If light is made up of particles, then this is just what we

should get. This is exactly what happened; so far so good (see

graphic 5-3).


All the little photons or particles of light behaved just

like stones or pebbles being fired from a canon through a

square slot. The result was one line of photons, within the

parameter of the square slot impacting on a receptor plate.

This was, of course, to be expected; therefore, we can now

proceed to the next level of the experiment.

Graphic 5-3: Single slit shows single impact of photons.

It was believed, almost like a tautology, that two slots

should produce the same results. Two slots should allow for

the photons to create two lines of impact on the photographic

receptor plate. It must be noted, that in the modern version of

these double slot experiments, only one photon at a time was


fired from the special laser gun.5 This firing of one photon at a

time has to insure that there will be no interference with the

trajectory of the photon, as it travels through one of the two

available slots in the second iteration of this experiment (see

graphic 5-4).

Graphic 5-4: The Double Slit Wave Phenomena.

The result was baffling (to say the least) for our

modern-day physicists. The receptor plate showed a wave

interference pattern and not the two bands of photon impacts

as expected. Since, in the modern version of these

experiments, only one photon at a time was fired at the two

slots, how could this wave pattern emerge if photons were


solid particles? How could these light particles become waves,

interfere with themselves, and travel only through one of the

two slots, one at a time? This is where the quantum weirdness

begins and where the Veil of Isis is slowly lifting. Is light a

wave, is it a particle, or is it both at the same time: a wavicle?

Scientists were stunned at this and decided to set up a

camera/instrument to measure/observe which slot each particle

of light actually goes through (see figure 5-5).

Figure 5-5: The photon acts as if it is being watched.

The result was a complete shock. When the camera

was on and watching, the photon particles behaved like

particles and created only two patterns on the receptor plate,


just like the sand particles do when being strained between

two slots. How could a photon particle be aware it was being

watched?6 When the camera was switched off, the wave

pattern returned (figure 5-6).

Figure 5-6: Photon particle acts like a wave with camera off.

This is not even the weirdest part either. It was later

discovered, that if you did not turn the camera on until after

the photon wave had already passed through the two slots, it

would immediately behave like a particle, going back in time,

and recreate its whole trajectory and path! This is sometimes

called backward causality or the quantum eraser. However, we

will talk about this aspect a little more later on.


Lifting the Veil of Isis

What is implied here, metaphysically speaking, on a

subatomic level, is that observation, the act of measuring,

affects the outcome of the experiment itself. Many arguments

have been made over the explanation as to why this is so.

What are the true mechanics involved with this phenomenon?

As stated earlier, whatever a person’s or scientist’s biasis

metaphysically, will influence his/her explanation of the

mechanics involved.

A materialist scientist will not want to see the

consciousness of the observer affecting the experiment. He

wants to believe in an objective universe that exists

independently, whether it is being observed/measured or not.

Idealist7 scientists will consider how the consciousness of the

observer might be influencing reality, if not actually creating

it.

Today, many scientists have come out of the closet and

are not afraid to express an idealist point of view. Many

scientists, including John von Neumann, John Wheeler, and

Amit Goswami, to name just a few, are not afraid to express

their idealistic ideas about physics. Goswami himself names

his physics Monistic Idealism.8 He has authored many books

and videos on the subject. Many other scientists are afraid to

express their views, fearing losing tenure at the university or


being ostracized by the scientific community still so heavily

dominated by naive materialism and prejudice.

We shall continue this discussion throughout this

work, as the data to support it is shown to the reader. For now,

let us say that from my perspective, there is only one universal

consciousness. It has many minds, and it is the foundation of

all reality. The moon does not disappear when I am not

looking at it, because the one universal consciousness is

always looking at everything as it really is. This is closer to

Kashmir Shaivism, an Indian philosophy, and one that I have

perceived to be the most correct in shedding light on the

findings of modern physics.9 It must be understood, that from

the Shaivism point of view, the universe is being recreated

billions of times a second, by the one consciousness, giving

the illusion of continuity and the ability for constant change.

Finally, the implications of quantum physics are astounding to

the open-minded and dread to the closed-minded materialist.

2 The facts of what happened during the original double-slit experimentwere elucidated by Thomas Young in a paper entitled, Experiments andCalculations Relative to Physical Optics, published in 1803. Since thistime it has been discovered that electrons, neutrons, and atoms, as well asphotons, all have a wave/particle component.

Currently, the carbon molecule known as “Bucky Balls,” which are large carbon molecules made up of 60 to 70 parts, also have wave/particlebehavior.

3 Coherent light are light waves that are "in phase" with one another. Thisis similar to a chorus line of dancers moving in perfect synchronism witheach other. Young did not have access to such a light source since lasershad not been invented because quantum mechanics had not beendiscovered yet.

7 Idealism, in terms of metaphysics, is the philosophical view that the mindor spirit constitutes the fundamental reality. It has taken several distinct butrelated forms. Among them are Objective and Subjective idealism.Objective idealism accepts common sense Realism (the view that materialobjects exist) but rejects Naturalism (according to which the mind andspiritual values have emerged from material things), whereas subjectiveidealism denies that material objects exist independently of humanperception and thus stands opposed to both realism and naturalism.

6. Niels Bohr, Lord of the Quantum Rings

The double slit experiment, as shown in the last

chapter, is fundamental to quantum mechanics and quantum

theory. In the last century, it has been discovered that photons,

electrons, neutrons, protons, quarks, atoms, and certain carbon

molecules all display a wave particle behavior.1 Other

particles have been discovered besides these, which lead to a

new classification of subatomic particles into two main

categories, known as fermions and bosons.2 Fermions are

matter-carrying particles and bosons are considered force-

carrying particles. Electrons, neutrons, protons, and quarks are

classified as fermions. Photons and other particles are

classified as bosons. Actually, we should use the term virtual

particles, since they appear and disappear randomly. However,

we are getting ahead of ourselves here. Let us back up in time

to get a better perspective.

We must start with the basic structure of the atom, as it

was thought of in the early twentieth century. In addition,

energy was seen to be continuous, rather than being in discrete

packets or quanta. Scientists since 1750 had been heating

elements/substances and shining their light through prisms to

display the spectral colors.3 It was soon discovered that each

element gave off its own colors (Figure 6-1). Later, they

discovered that when heating solids, the colors told them the


gradient temperature. This allowed them to compute the heat

of the sun and other distant objects. Still, there were blank

spots in the spectral analysis, which could not be explained.

These blank, dark areas were called spectral lines. There were

also conflicts with the old wave theory of light that could not

match the test results done with black bodies.4

Figure 6-1: Shows the hydrogen gas analysis.

Black bodies absorb all the light and give off a

radiation as a result. Without being too technical, there was a

conflict with the predicted relationship between the intensity

of radiation and the frequency of radiation. A physicist named

Max Planck solved this conflict with a new formula, in


December of 1900. This would be the first of several

discoveries that would make Planck one of the founders of

quantum mechanics. Planck’s main contribution, at this point

in history, was to show that energy came in discrete packets of

energy and not as a constant flow.5 This concept was to allow

Niels Bohr to conceive a new model of the atom and Einstein

to explain the relationship of photons to black bodies. Einstein

proposed that black bodies give off packets of energy when an

electron interacts with a photon. Bohr would use this

proposition later to solve the atomic structure problem and the

spectral line problem since they are directly related.

The Structure of the Atom

Today, any high school student can tell you that an

atom has a nucleus, made up of protons and neutrons,

surrounded by electrons. This was not so obvious in the early

twentieth century. Earnest Rutherford, in 1912, presented his

model of the atom, sometimes called the solar system model.

Rutherford himself was a world-leading scientist at the time,

having won a noble prize in 1908 in chemistry. He proposed

that the hydrogen atom, which contains a simple nucleus and

one electron, was similar to the solar system. The atom simply

orbited the nucleus.


Around this time, Niels Bohr began to understand

Rutherford’s atomic model and realized it could not be

correct. The electron of the atom would collide into the

nucleus within a thousandth of a billionth of a second and the

atom would collapse. The universe would disappear! Of

course, this analysis was based upon Newtonian classical

physics, since quantum physics was not yet discovered.

However, Bohr understood Einstein’s photoelectric theory and

the photons’ effect on black bodies. He also understood

Planck’s frequency theory, which showed energy to come in

packets or discrete amounts. By combining aspects of these

two theories, he had an insight, which forever named him the

father of quantum mechanics.

In the hydrogen atom, there is only one proton and one

electron. Yet, the spectral result for hydrogen gas showed four

discrete spectral lines in emission and absorption, and they

were spaced apart from each other in discrete mathematical

packets. The answer for Bohr was this: when the electron

absorbed the energy from a passing photon, it jumped to a new

orbit further out from the nucleus, similar to the photoelectric

effect on electrons of black bodies (Figure 6-2). When the

electron gave off energy, it jumped back to an orbit closer to

the nucleus of the atom. In each case, the atom could only

jump to exact discrete orbits, similar to Plank’s understanding

of why energy had to come in discrete amounts. This was the


literal quantum leap of the electron. Each time it jumped, it

gave off light—the spectral light!6

Figure 6-2: Shows the electron jump between orbits.

Now, at this time, Bohr only considered the electron to

still be a particle. However, the electron did not travel from

one orbit to another. No, the quantum world is much stranger

than that. The electron disappeared and reappeared at each

discrete orbit of the atom. This is the quantum leap. However,

where was the atom between jumps? Could this be known?

The Uncertainty of Heisenberg and the Dismay of Einstein

In 1927, Warner Heisenberg published his famous


uncertainty principle.7 Simply stated, the more precisely the

position of an electron is determined, the less precisely the

momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa. If we

measure/observe where the electron is, we cannot know its

momentum with certainty. If we measure its momentum, then

we do not know its position. We can never know these two

factors at the same time with certainty.

Heisenberg was not saying this because we lacked the

tools or the knowledge to solve this measurement problem.

No, he meant that this really is the nature of the subatomic

quantum world! When Einstein heard this, he nearly went

berserk. How could the subatomic world be a world of chance,

while the larger classical world of molecules, planets, and

galaxies was predictable in all sorts of measurements?

Einstein could not wrap his head around this, thus, his famous

statement, “God does not play dice.” To which Bohr

responded, “Do not tell God what to do.” This disagreement

led Einstein on a lifelong quest to find the missing variable to

prove Heisenberg wrong. However, years after Einstein’s

death, Heisenberg and quantum mechanics were proven to be

correct and Einstein to be wrong, at least about quantum

mechanics. Brilliant as Einstein was, he was a man of his

historical time, and in his antitheses to quantum physics, he

contributed as much to it. The physicists who still follow

Einstein’s lead are looking for the unified field that unites all


four forces of physics, both classical and quantum, under one

theory. Sometimes this is called the theory of everything. One

attempt to solve this is the so-called String Theory.8 So far,

this has not happened.

Historically, at this time during the 1920’s, a

philosophy known as Logical Positivism was sweeping

Austria and Germany. It was a call to only speak about what

could be verified by the senses and observation.9 This

philosophy had a strong influence upon the scientific

community in Europe at the time.

Therefore, to try to even speak about where the

hydrogen atom is between jumps is absurd, since it cannot be

known or observed. Thus, it has no sense data to confirm it;

therefore, it is nonsensical to speak of it. This type of

influence upon the quantum fathers gave birth to a type of

interpretation of quantum physics known as the Copenhagen

interpretation.10 This Copenhagen interpretation became the

standard orthodox interpretation of quantum physics for many

years. However, there are many more divergent views in

contemporary physics today concerning quantum physics. In

the next chapter, we will discuss where the atom is between

jumps, in spite of the Copenhagen interpretation and because

of it.

7. Wave If You Don’t See Me

Because of the philosophical and scientific background

discussed in the last chapter, we are now in a position to

discuss the famous wave function formula of Erin

Schrödinger. Niels Bohr predicted that the hydrogen electron

could only appear in one orbit at a time around the nucleus of

a hydrogen atom, and then disappear, only to reappear at the

next, fixed, numerically discrete orbit. Where was it between

orbits? Erin Schrödinger proposed a mathematical solution to

this question, which is known today as his wave function

equation.1 This is probably the most important equation in

quantum mechanics.

Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Einstein, Heisenberg, and a

few others had contributed much collectively to the

understanding of quantum mechanics. Einstein established

light as a constant in the macro world. However, Max

Planck’s constant2, concerning energy at the quantum level,

set up the mathematical environment needed for Erin

Schrödinger’s wave function equation.

Erin Schrödinger’s wave function equation allowed

for a descriptive representation of the mechanical propagation

of the wave function of an electron or any other quantum

object. In other words, when the electron is in-between orbits

during its wave function, can we mathematically describe its


mechanical probability of where it is? According to Erin

Schrödinger’s wave function equation, the answer is yes. In

other words, we can calculate, most likely, where the electron

is going to be. In this sense, this wave function is a

mathematical tool and a representation only, and is not the

actual wave itself. It is a mathematical distribution of the wave

function.

When an electron is in superposition, it is everywhere,

it is nowhere, and it is in every place at once. Thus, the wave

function equation was developed to figure out the most likely

place the electron wave is propagating to. Today, some

electron cloud photographs have been taken, showing the

electron to be in more than one place at the same time.

Ukrainian researchers at the Kharkov Institute for Physics and

Technology in Kharkov, Ukraine, have taken this picture3

showing various arrangements of the clouds of electrons

surrounding a carbon atom (Figure 7-1).

Figure 7-1: Two photos of carbon electron clouds surrounding the

atom.


According to modern day physicists, the actual wave

of a subatomic particle is very real. In fact, many scientists

now say that the wave function represents, not only a

mathematical abstraction, but also an independent true reality4.

In truth, no scientist really knows what the wave function truly

is, but the math still works anyway. When the atom or particle

is in superposition, it is in a universal quantum energy field,

where the entire universe is connected by wave functions. In

fact, according to Einstein, “We may therefore regard matter

as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field

is extremely intense. There is no place in this new kind of

physics for both the field and matter, for the field is the only

reality.”5

Quantum Energy Fields and the Ether

What is the nature of the quantum energy field?

Whenever two or more waves interact, they are said to be in

superposition and entangled. They are actually waves in a

quantum field of energy. The quantum field is different than

the larger world of macro objects, which range from

molecules on up to galaxies. The quantum field has its own set

of rules. However, there have been experiments done with

large carbon molecules known as “bucky balls” by Anton

Zeilinger6 and associates. These bucky balls, when sent thru a


grated membrane, created a wave pattern similar to the

photons in the double slit experiment. These carbon molecules

actually demonstrated a quantum-like wave function. What is

significant here is that physicists consider these carbon

molecules to be macro objects, not quantum objects. These

bucky ball molecules consist of 60 or 70 carbon atoms.

It appears that in the quantum field, time does not

necessarily progress in a forward manner. In addition, space is

nonlocal. In quantum nonlocality, waves can affect each other

instantly, no matter how far apart they are from each other.

Therefore, when a particle goes into superposition, it is now a

nonlocal wave phenomenon until it re-collapses back into a

particle. Therefore, in the quantum field, everything is

connected or entangled.7

In the double slit experiment, when the photon or

electron is measured/observed, we “collapse the wave

function” into a specific time-space particle or event. This

concept of collapsing the wave is fundamental to all

discussion about quantum mechanics.

What is this quantum energy field? It has many names.

Most scientists call it the zero-point energy field. Other non-

physicists and researchers, such as Gregg Braden8, call it the

“divine matrix.” Researcher and journalist Lynne McTaggart

titled her well-documented book on this subject, The Field:

The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe.9 Yet, others


refer to it as the lost ether of history that science rejected long

ago as being non-existent.10

Oddly enough, the great genius himself, Albert

Einstein, did not reject the concept of the etheric field

completely. In a lecture given on May 5, 1920, at the

University of Leyden, titled Ether and the Theory of

Relativity, Einstein stated:

According to the general theory of relativity, space

without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there

not only would be no propagation of light, but also no

possibility of existence for standards of space and time

(measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-

time intervals in the physical sense.11

The zero-point field is also referred to as the Casimir

Force.12 The space between all atomic particles and all matter

is not exactly empty space, even though it is called the

quantum vacuum. In the quantum vacuum/field, atomic

particles appear, disappear, and reappear creating fluctuations

in the quantum vacuum. These fluctuations are balanced. A

photon can degrade into both a positron and an electron. This

is okay since they both cancel each other out and add up to

zero. This gives the quantum vacuum a zero-point energy

balance without disturbing the macro world very much. In

addition, since no particle can ever be brought to an exact state


of zero movement, there are perpetual fluctuations within the

field.

The Dutch physicist, Hendrik Casimir, first theorized

them to exist in 1948.13 In 1996, these quantum fluctuations

were experimentally measured.14 Two very small, uncharged

plates were put parallel to each other in a vacuum with very

little spacing between them (Figure 7-2). The fluctuations in

the quantum vacuum drove the plates together! Many fields

such as nanotechnology have been the result of this unique

discovery. It has also been discovered by the Russians that the

Casimir effect can repel as well as attract many types of

metals.

Figure 7-2: The quantum imbalance drives the plates together.


How Much Energy is in the Zero-Point Field?

Based upon a whole host of experiments, physicists

have calculated just how much energy might be in the zero-

point energy field. In other words, how much energy is in this

quantum vacuum? Estimates do vary between physicists to

some degree, but they do all estimate large numbers. If the

nucleus of a hydrogen atom were as large as a soccer ball, its

electron would be the size of a green pea orbiting the nucleus

from twenty miles away. This gives you an idea of just how

much space is in an atom (or for that matter, the entire

universe itself).

In the film, ‘What the Bleep Do We Know?’,scientist

William A Tiller of Stanford University made some energy

estimates about the quantum vacuum. I was so shocked at

what he said that I had to play the movie over several times to

make sure I was hearing him correctly. In essence, this is what

he said:

The empty space in a hydrogen atom contains 10-23

cubic centimeters.

This space contains one trillion times the energy that is

equal to all the stars and galaxies in a 20 billion light-

year radius.

The whole Quantum Vacuum itself contains 1094

grams of energy per cubic centimeter.


This is equal to several trillion times all the energy that

is in the known universe.

These figures are beyond human comprehension and

are overwhelming. Nevertheless, also something else is

unique. Tiller goes on to say that this quantum energy is

amendable to human intention. In other words, it responds to

human intention! Tiller further states that if all human

consciousness can do is collapse one atom, then that is still

saying a lot from an energy perspective.

What makes the zero-point energy in the quantum

vacuum so unique is that it does not suffer from entropy. In

the macro physical world as we know it, a pendulum will

eventually spend its energy and slow down over time to a dead

stop. If you could build a pendulum to run from the energy

provided by the zero-point energy field, it would never stop.

The energy in the quantum vacuum does not entropy and it is

everywhere! Space travel to other galaxies may be possible if

this energy source can be harnessed by humanity. Ultimately,

we must ask ourselves, how does the zero-point field relate to

the macro world of classical Newtonian physics?

Is Unification Possible?

Einstein spent his life looking for the unified field that


would unite all four forces of physics and capture the

wayward quantum physics back into the fold of classical

physics. The four forces are gravity, magnetism, strong and

weak nuclear. In the quantum world, quantum gravity has not

been found. In addition, the gravity in the macro world is too

weak, according to physicists. Einstein told us what gravity

does, but not what it is. However, the English mathematical

physicist Roger Penrose has come up with a formula that may

very well describe quantum gravity. He may very well have

found the very missing variable that Einstein could not.

The astrophysicist, Bernard Haisch, in his book The

God Theory presents a compelling argument that light itself is

the unifying factor. Haisch and his partner, physicist Alfonso

Rueda, came up with the theory that the zero-point field was

the cause of the inertia in matter. While under a grant given to

them by NASA, they were able to perfect the mathematics.

They published two papers that confirmed that inertia of

matter could be traced back to the zero-point field. The

scientific community has not greeted this finding with open

arms. It challenges too many scientific dogmas and postulates

about gravity, mass, and the zero-point field.

Haisch goes on further in his book and points out that

from the point of view of light, all space would shrink to a

point, and all time would collapse to an instant, based on

Einstein’s general relativity. There would be no space-time.15


Inertia is the resistance you feel when you try to push your car

to the gas station. The implication is that the zero-point field

sustains the classical world of matter and inertia. Mass is

therefore and illusion, created by the resistance felt from the

zero-point field’s influence on the macro world of matter. For

Haisch, a form of light is the force within the zero-point field

that sustains the world. If correct, it would explain much of the

phenomena in the quantum world and perhaps unify the two

sides of physics: the quantum and the classical.

A similar but different concept, made popular by the

new age researcher David Wilcock,16 is the theory of Dewey

Larson.17 Larson called his proposal the Reciprocal System of

Physical Theory. In his theory, motion was the foundation of

all reality. Space and time are two aspects of motion. All three

are needed for reality to exist. There is also a reciprocal

relationship between space and time. Like two sides of one

coin, we have 3D coordinate space with linear clock time (one

dimensional time), and on the other side, we have 3D

coordinate time and linear space (non locality). This very

much sounds like a good description of both quantum and

classical worlds.

Other attempts to unify physics have taken the form of

string theory, which encompasses at least ten dimensions to

make the math work. So far, no one has solved the issue of

uniting both levels of physics. At the time of this writing, the


search continues for the Holy Grail of physics, which may

only exist in the Holy Grail of consciousness.

8. The Quantum Eraser Phenomenon

Einstein once said, "...for us physicists believe the

separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion,

although a convincing one." This is an interesting quote about

the macro world of physics, but what about the micro quantum

world of physics? Theoretical physicists, like John Archibald

Wheeler (July 9, 1911 –April 13, 2008), had some definite

ideas about time and the zero-point field. In 1945, Wheeler

devised a thought experiment that would show that time past,

future, and present is quite different in the quantum field from

our everyday experience. In 1986, the ability to technically

perform this experiment emerged, and it was completed

successfully.1 Wheeler’s predictions were proven correct. The

details of this experiment are what we shall next consider.

This test is also known as the “Delayed Choice”2 or

“Retro-causality” experiment (Figure 8-1). It was based on a

variation of the double slit experiment using lasers, half-

silvered mirrors (M1, M2), detectors (D1, D2), and full-

silvered mirrors (A, B). In the Figure 8-1, a laser burst

encounters M1 and splits into one or two directions,

unobserved, like the double slit experiment. Next, it reflects

off mirrors A or B, still unobserved. As the particle crosses

over point P, it is detected as a particle by either D1 or D2,

which tells us which path the photon took as a particle


expression of light.

Figure 8-1: Without the second half-silvered mirror.

Figure 8-2 is the same as Figure 8-1, except that we

add the second, half-silvered mirror (M2). M2 allows the split

beam to now interfere with itself at point P, thereby creating a

constructive interference wave pattern, always detected by D2.

This shows that the split beam is always traveling both paths,

or there would not be interference with M2. This displays the

wave property of the photon. Remember: it can be either one.

It depends upon the choice of the experimenter whether to use

M2 or not. This choice decides whether the path of the photon

is a wave traveling both paths or a particle traveling only one


of two possible paths.

Now here is where it gets interesting. What would

happen if we delayed our choice about using M2? The laser

would split at M1, reflect off mirrors A or B as potential

particle, and would be ready to collapse into a particle at point

P and be detected by D1 or D2, telling us what path it took.

However, if at the last nanosecond we insert M2, the particle

instantly becomes a wave and changes its whole trajectory

from the laser to the detector instantly! It would have had to

travel both paths to be a wave that interferes with itself. This is

called backward causality or the quantum eraser.

Figure 8-2:D2 always detects a wave when M2 is inserted.


The delayed choice of the experimenter causes the

singular particle path to become a double path or wave, being

reflected at both mirrors A and B. One solution to this is that

the photon is always a wave in superposition until detected or

observed. Even still, the choice of the experimenter still

determines the photonic path taken and the modality of light

expressed, wave or particle; and the choice can be delayed.

Thus, backward causality happens at the quantum level

instantly, faster than light. Space is nonlocal and time is not

linear.

Classical World Implications

Since macro-systems in the classical world are made

up of subatomic quantum systems, what are the effects of the

quantum world upon the classical, in regards to causality? Or

more succinctly, what if the zero-point field, which consists of

what I like to call three-dimensional (3D) time and one-

dimensional (1D) space, coordinates coherent time space

events? In 3D time, past, present, and future are all present at

once. Space is nonlocal and 1D. At the deepest level of the

zero-point field may exist what has been called scalar waves.3

These waves are beyond the laws of electromagnetic waves,

are amendable, and respond to coherence and consciousness.

They also travel faster than light.


Considering all this, what is implied by the delayed

choice experiment is that, perhaps, future causes are

contributing to present day effects. In addition, by being in the

present moment, it may be possible to change the past.4 This

may actually be the explanation behind spontaneous healing.

Spontaneous healing may be the erasing of the original cause

of the disease to begin with.5

When a laser emits one photon toward a beam splitter,

it becomes two twin entities, which are tied together in the

quantum world. This is called entanglement.6 No matter how

far apart they are from each other, if one is affected, the other

one instantly is affected, faster than light speed. Einstein did

not like this scenario and referred to it as “spooky action at a

distance.”7 For Einstein, nothing could move faster than light.

Physicist Alain Aspect, in 1982, carried out his best-

known experiments, which confirmed that “quantum

entanglement” for twinned photon pairs is irreconcilable with

Einstein's worldviews.8 Aspect showed that if one of the twin

photon’s spin vector is changed, so would its twin’s vector

change accordingly, faster than what light speed could account

for. This is because the twin photons are entangled and

coherent. At the Big Bang, everything that is, was entangled

and compressed into a point smaller than a green pea.9 From

the point of view of the quantum field, everything is still

entangled.


From the Real to the Hypothetical

As a hypothesis, how would entanglement,

superposition, coherence, wave functions, backward causality,

and the zero-point field that contains them look as twin events

in the classical world? What kind of events would qualify as

reflections of this kind of quantum phenomenon generated

from the field? Like splitting a laser beam and getting two

entangled photons, could a singular time potential event split

into two entangled space-time realities? What qualities might

it have? Let us consider this possible list:

The events must be synchronized in and beyond time.

The events must be coherent to each other and resonate

measurable comparisons: names, relationships, dates,

etc.

The events should be entangled in the quantum world,

and that entanglement should be reflected as two

collapses of related events that have correlated

meaning.

From a delayed choice perspective, each event could

have been the cause of the other, excluding linear time

frames.

The zero-point field would be the best explanation of

such paired events.


Two events I believe that fit these criteria are the twin

assignations of John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln. It may

not seem obvious at first, but the list compiled below is

beyond random chance mathematically. Lincoln also dreamed

of his own assassination one week before it actually happened.

So here are the entangled space-time items listed below.

Notice the harmonic of 100 years between the events, as well

as the inversion of the names of key people and relationships:

1a. Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

1b. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

2a. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

2b. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

3a. Lincoln’s secretary was named Kennedy.

3b. Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.

4a. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in

1808.

4b. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in

1908.

5a. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in

1839.


5b. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born

in 1939.

6a. Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford’ in box

number 7.

6b. Kennedy was shot in car number 7 called 'Lincoln' made

by 'Ford.'

7a. Lincoln was with his wife when he was assassinated.

7b. Kennedy was with his wife when he was assassinated.

8a. Lincoln was shot in a theater, and his assassin ran and hid

in a warehouse.

8b. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse, and his assassin ran

and hid in a theater.

9a. Booth was assassinated before his trial.

9b. Oswald was assassinated before his trial.

In the classical world, these two events are experienced

with Lincoln being assassinated one hundred years before

John F. Kennedy. From the quantum field, both assassinations

happened at the same time. In fact, everything happens all at

the same time in the zero-point field. Events only take on

meaning and distance when we experience them in our


classical world of linear time. Therefore, John Archibald

Wheeler’s definition and purpose of time was “to keep

everything from happening all at once.”

From a quantum point of view, these two events are

entangled, synchronized, and coherently reflective of each

other. What it leaves us asking as a possible hypothesis is:

which event caused the other to collapse? Did the

assassination of Kennedy cause the assassination of Lincoln in

a backward causality scenario? Can we even ask such a

question?

My point here is not to prove the quantum relationship

between these two assassinations, but to use it as a thought

experiment that promotes thinking. How many times a day do

we all encounter synchronistic events? You begin humming a

song that has not been on the radio in over twenty years. You

get in your car, turn on the radio, and there it is coming

through your car speaker system. Are these events entangled?

I believe they are. What do you think? Just because you do not

know how to reproduce them in a laboratory does not mean

they did not happen. Currently, we do not really know how to

test for these types of phenomena using the current scientific

methods and equipment.


Backwards Causality and Theology

What might be the ramifications of theology, both East

and West, in regards to quantum backwards causality? In the

East, the laws of karma would simply be transcended. The law

of karma, simply stated, is that you reap what you sow. This is

sometimes called the “sowing and reaping” doctrine, and it is

in every religion. Perhaps what is indicated here is that, like

the law of gravity that binds us to the earth, we may learn to

fly by understanding the laws of karmic aerodynamics. By

understanding the zero-point field, our consciousness may be

able to change the past!

In the West, the doctrine of the “vicarious atonement”

of Christ might also take on another dimension, affected by

this quantum eraser. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, in her two

great works, The Secret Doctrine10 and Isis Unveiled,11 was

very critical of this Christian doctrine and for very good

philosophical reasons. She argued that if someone murdered a

person, and then was forgiven through the vicarious

atonement, the only way it would make sense is that all of

history would have to be changed. In other words, the pain

that was created through such an act to the family of the

murdered victim, to the parents of the murderer, and countless

other ramifications from such an act would have to be erased

from history, not to mention the restoration of the victim back


to life as if nothing ever happened.

This is a very good argument and she had many more

besides this one. However, if the past can be erased as if it

never happened, this potentially sheds new light on the whole

argument. Perhaps the atonement is a symbol for us as

individuals to know that we can change our past if we change

our habits. If we learn to focus our consciousness, become

mentally and emotionally coherent, we can effect our past

from the very present. Then from the point of view of the

zero-point field, it has already happened, like spontaneous

remission of disease and karma. Perhaps the atonement is the

at-one-ment of the zero-point field.

9. The Classical-Quantum Brain

Having already touched upon many aspects of

quantum physics, it is now time to turn our attention to

consciousness itself. No one really knows what consciousness

is. Some believe it is just an emergent property, similar to how

simple elements create storm clouds that create rain or a

hurricane. The hurricane simply emerges from the aggregation

of simpler elements but did not exist beforehand.

Another view, as postulated by physicist Amit

Goswami, is that consciousness is the foundation of all

reality.1 Goswami further suggests that matter is the emergent

property of consciousness. Of course, the consciousness that

Goswami refers to is universal and non-local in nature.

To overcome the duality of Descartes, Goswami

further asserts that mind and body exist in a parallelism, united

and directed by consciousness. Therefore, there is no violation

of the conservation of energy according to the law of thermal

dynamics. With this kind of concept, we can then have an

etheric world, an astral world, and a spirit world all existing in

parallelism, coordinated by consciousness.2 Therefore, there

does not have to be a measurable exchange of energy between

each world, as they are mapped into each other by

consciousness. In this scenario ofGoswami’s, we can draw the

following axioms:


We have our own thoughts and ideas, but we do not

have consciousness. We are consciousness.

Consciousness has many modalities: unconscious,

subconscious, preconscious, sentient, or self-aware.

There is only one consciousness, and we all share it.

Consciousness without self-awareness is capable of

processing and choosing. This is what universal

consciousness does as it chooses what will be

collapsed from the quantum field of potential.3

Consciousness with self-awareness or sentience is

capable of observing and collapsing, but not choosing.

For Goswami, universal consciousness chooses what

will be, while a sentient self-aware consciousness will

observe, measure, and cause the wave function to collapse.

For Goswami, when absolute consciousness becomes self-

entangled, or self-referential, it becomes self-aware and

experiences the world of classical physics (of self and others).

It becomes the lower ego.4 As philosopher Krishnamurti has

said, “The observer becomes the observed.”

Consciousness, as a necessary factor in quantum

physics, was originally defined by the “Copenhagen

Interpretation,” because it reflects the attitude of Niels Bohr

and Warner Heisenberg. Since Bohr was so forceful and was a

Dane by birth, his interpretation inherited the tag of


Copenhagen. Erin Schrödinger thought this interpretation to

be so outlandish that he created a whole scenario to poke some

holes in it. His scenario became known as “Schrödinger’s

Cat.” The relationship of consciousness and its influence over

matter is sometimes called the observer effect.

Figure 9-1: The cat is both dead & alive until someone looks.

Schrödinger’s Cat

Imagine, if you will (Figure 9-1), that a cat is placed

into a black box and sealed in. In this box is a radioactive

isotope that randomly ejects an ion every twenty to thirty

minutes. Also in the box is a Geiger counter that will beep


every time a random particle is emitted from the radioactive

isotope. When the counter beeps, a receptive device will swing

a hammer, crashing a vile full of poison gas, thus killing the

cat.

This was only a thought-experiment to try to show the

absurdity of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum

physics. The argument being that the radioactive particle could

not collapse its wave function until it was measured or

observed. Therefore, the charged particle was in superposition.

This would also, by logic, dictate that the cat was also in

superposition of being both dead and alive and every other

possibility as potential. Thus, the wave function of the cat and

the wave function of the charged particle were entangled, until

someone opened the box and looked. Here are some

considerations:

If consciousness collapses the wave, is the cat dead or

alive before or after you look?

In the Copenhagen-interpretation, the cat is either dead

or alive when you look.

Until you look, it is both dead and alive. Therefore,

whose consciousness decides if the cat is alive or dead,

Schrödinger or his friend?

The cat’s wave function collapses at 10-37 seconds, so

you could not see it happening anyway.


As you can see, this is quite a quagmire of logical

inconsistencies. Below is a list of some of the leading

possibilities of how to answer the enigma of Schrödinger’s cat

paradox:

1. Copenhagen view: The cat is neither dead nor alive

until you look.

2. Amit Goswami’s view:Consciousness is transcendent

and non-local. There is only one consciousness and it

is hierarchally entangled, therefore, there can be no

conflict over choices. Consciousness chooses and

causes the collapse.

3. Quantum Decoherence view: When quantum systems

interfere with classical systems, they are quickly

suppressed and the wave function collapses without

consciousness being involved.5

4. Idealistic View: Platonic laws and values are chosen by

consciousness at the Big Bang. In this scenario,

decoherence would be another law similar to the laws

of thermal dynamics, chosen by transcendent non-local

consciousness when creation began.

5. Roger Penrose –Stuart Hameroff: Consciousness is a

system in isolation, which does not experience

decoherence, but self-collapses when a certain

threshold is reached, known as Orchestrated Objective

Reduction.6 This view would support both decoherence


and consciousness as the cause of the collapsed wave

function with Schrödinger’s cat.

6. Hugh Everett and The Many-Worlds Interpretation of

Quantum Mechanics: One cat is dead in one universe;

one cat is alive in another universe or world. For every

superposition, a universe exists for it.7

All of these views are not the only ones, but they at

least capture the majority of the views out there. In the

Copenhagen view, the cat is in superposition until you look.

The cat is both dead and alive, and entangled with the charged

particle, which also is in superposition. Due to the success of

the delayed choice experiment, proponents of the neo-

Copenhagen view would argue that even if the cat died one-

half hour before we look, backward causality would allow for

this. Non-local consciousness can move backwards in time

and collapse the dead or alive cat the moment we observe it. In

addition, the collapse is too fast to ever see it.

Goswami’s view is similar to the Copenhagen view,

except he would also argue that universal consciousness has

decided already, before we look, whether the cat is going to be

dead or alive. Therefore, when we look, we are only seeing the

collapse of the choice already given by non-local, transcendent

consciousness. Since absolute consciousness is singular, there

can never be any conflict. Otherwise, who would decide


whether a traffic light should be green or red at a cross section

of many competing types of consciousness? For Goswami,

this would lead to chaos or solipsism.

The quantum decoherence view is the war cry of the

anti-Copenhagen schools of interpretation. Decoherence

guarantees that quantum systems will not destructively

interrupt the classical world of big things. If this were not so,

then big objects might not be there whenever we are not

looking. Being made of quantum particles, they might begin to

behave like them. Remember Einstein’s moon: he wants it to

be there even when he is not looking and asleep. Therefore, a

chair remains a chair, and Schrödinger’s cat can die or live

without an observer being present. Further research will show

that this view has many problems of its own and does not

solve the hard problem of consciousness itself or the

thousands of experiments showing the observer effect capable

of influencing matter.

Lynn McTaggart’s two books, The Field and The

Intention Experiment, document nearly the entire mind-over-

matter experiments done worldwide since the 1970’s. For

example, over 2.5 million combined throws of dice, with

2,500 participants, positively show that mind/consciousness

influences over matter are real.8 The odds of the results

occurring from chance were 1076.


From CIA and Russian remote viewing studies, to

influencing electronic REG machines, and healer’s influences

over bacteria, plants, animals, and humans, research shows

conclusive evidence of the observer effect. It is only by blind

prejudice that the official scientific community tends to

overlook this data. That, and the fear of being ostracized and

losing one’s career at the lab or university keep this shameful

practice in place.

The Quantum Brain Computer

A quantum computer is a machine that uses quantum

superposition and entanglement to do computations that could

not be achieved by a classical computer. One such operation

would be finding the prime of large numbers, which is what

all bank encryptions are based on. Since a quantum computer

could do this faster, the race is on to build it. Several

prototypes exist today.

Instead of using bits like a classical computer, the

quantum computer uses qubits. A qubit is known as a Bloch

Sphere and encompasses superposition, entanglement, spin,

etc. Just like Schrödinger’s cat is both dead and alive while it

is in superposition, likewise, quantum computers have all the

right and wrong answers all at once while being in

superposition. All the particles used in quantum computing are


controlled, and they represent all possible classical positions

and answers all at once. Thus, with the right query, the best

answer is found faster than with conventional classical

computers.

The biggest problem facing quantum computers is

decoherence or interference from the classical world. If that

happens, then the wave functions collapse before the answers

are found or computed. To offset this, scientists are trying to

work at-or-near zero temperatures, to stop thermal oscillation

from the classical world. Thus, isolating the quantum

computer from decoherence is one of the biggest challenges

being faced.

One of the arguments against Roger Penrose and Stuart

Hameroff and their model of the quantum brain is the fact that

the brain is too warm for quantum computation. It is this

model that we will consider next.

Orchestrated Objective Reduction

If an electron is in superposition and is isolated from

decoherence, it will take about 10,000,000 years before it

reaches its threshold and collapses. However, this is most

unlikely when dealing with the human brain. For Penrose and

Hameroff, the brain is both a classical and a quantum

computer.


The classical part of the brain is the neurons and

dendrites. Inside each neuron are microtubules, tubulins, and

special proteins known as microtubule associated proteins

(Maps). Together, they make up the quantum side of the

brain.9

Simply stated: the microtubules, with the help of the

tubulins, are brought into a state of coherence as a system in

isolation, protected from decoherence by the Maps, which

detach from them, thus suspending them independent and

protected. When the answer is found, a self-organizing

principle with the Maps reconnects to the microtubules, which

connect to the classical brain, creating the collapse and a

moment of conscious experience.10 Penrose and Hameroff

know this phenomenon as Orchestrated Objective Reduction

(OOR). The classical neurons compute at 10-15 CPS, and the

microtubules compute at 10-27 CPS in the quantum brain.

This collapse happens forty times a second, according

to Penrose and Hameroff. When the microtubules are in

superposition, they are in the quantum field of proto-

consciousness. Every time the microtubules collapse, we

experience a packet of consciousness. Just like in a 35mm

movie, it only takes 24 frames-per-second to appear

continuous. Thus, we have a streaming consciousness like a

streaming video off the Internet at 40 frames-per-second—too

fast to see or notice the collapse itself (Figure 9-2).


According to Hameroff, this collapse may be all that is

ever really happening to us. He does not know for sure. The

outer world may only be our experience.

Figure 9-2: Consciousness is a series of collapses 40 CPS.

Penrose traces OOR back to the moment of the Big

Bang itself. The zero-point field for Penrose is the field of

proto-consciousness. Before the Big Bang, all possible

universes existed in superposition. Through the mathematical

formula E = h/T, a threshold is reached, and a type of quantum

gravity forms, which collapses the potential universes into one

choice. At that moment of the collapse, consciousness is

experienced, the choice is made, and OOR takes place. For


Penrose, Platonic values such as good, beauty, and so forth,

exist in the substratum of the quantum field. This is where the

laws of physics come from and exist.

Penrose disagrees with Everett’s many worlds

scenario. For Penrose, superposition occurs when an electron

is smeared all over the place, and this is where the fabric of

the universe is being torn apart. Since each superposition is so

close to each other, based on E = h/T, there is a self-

organizing collapse when the threshold is reached. Therefore,

many worlds are not needed, and using Occam’s razor, the

simpler answer is the best.

Thoughts and More Thoughts

As I said early on, it is rather interesting that science

seems to be approaching the very threshold and presence of

God. The OOR theory of Hameroff and Penrose echo and

reflect nearly the same scenario as Kashmir Shaivism. As said

before, it must be understood that from the Shaivism point of

view, the universe is being recreated billions of times a

second, by the one consciousness, giving the illusion of

continuity and the ability for constant change.11 It might be

that the absolute proto-consciousness of God is analog or

constant, whereas all other forms of conditioned


consciousness are digital and come in packets, maybe at forty

CPS for humans.

10. Emerging From Plato’s Cave

There have been many astounding studies on Buddhist

monks and their various states of consciousness while

meditating. Scientist, Richard Davidson, and his associates

have a special relationship with the Dalai Lama, who

volunteered several of his senior monks to them for such

consciousness experiments. The Dalai Lama is a known

science buff himself and wanted to help. In June of 2002,

Davidson's associate, Antoine Lutz, positioned 128 electrodes

on the head of a French-born, Tibetan Buddhist monk with

over 10,000 hours of meditation time.1

The monk was requested to meditate upon

"unconditional loving-kindness and compassion." Almost

immediately, the EEG machine showed the monk’s

brainwaves to be about 40 cycles per second (CPS). These

particular brain wave frequencies are described by scientists as

gamma waves. Rather than being the usual (meditation) alpha

wave state, it was a state of calm, focused hyperawareness.2

Any psychology book can teach you about the four

states of consciousness that all human beings share. A yogi or

Buddhist monk with twenty to thirty years of daily meditation

experience can reach any of these states within one minute.3

Notice the chart listing on the next page (Table 10-1).


Wave Length CPS Human States of Consciousness

Delta ¼ to 4 Trance-like state

Theta 4 to 6 Dreamless sleep state

Alpha 7 to 14 Dreaming state

Beta 14 to 21 Waking ego state

Gamma 40 to 70 Hyperawareness state

Table 10-1: Cycles per second in human states of consciousness

As with all human beings, our level of consciousness

transverses from beta, to alpha, to theta, to delta every night as

part of our sleep cycle. The gamma wave state is found in

highly criminally insane people, autistic people, epileptics,

and heavy-duty meditators. It is a very controversial subject,

and many argue that it is a state of heightened awareness. The

beta state, which is the everyday waking state for human

beings, is contrasted by the focused hyperawareness state of

the gamma brain wave. Some even suggest that the gamma

wave state is the state of the empirical self. Thus, we could be

most acutely self aware in the gamma wave state or oblivious

in the delta wave state.

JZ Knight, the famous trance-medium, astounded

scientists when they connected her to an EEG machine as she

channeled a spiritual entity named Ramtha. This was because

her brain waves were in the delta wave cycle.4 She could not

be conscious in the delta state, so who was speaking through


her body?—Ramtha, of course. JZ Knight has testified many

times that when Ramtha is speaking through her, she is not in

her body, and she has no idea what he is saying. During such

times, she is said to be traveling in the spiritual world where

she can, and has, visited the future as well as the past, at will.

While this is interesting, what does it have to do with

quantum physics and the holy grail of consciousness? The

answer is found among the experiments done worldwide to

test the effect of human intention-consciousness upon matter.

It is here that we turn to next as we free ourselves, like the

prisoner in Plato’s cave, from the bonds of materialism, and

we make our way into the daylight of the good and true Sun.

The Power of Human Intention

No one is more impressive than Dr. William A. Tiller

of Stanford University, when it comes to applying human

intention to physical matter via the zero-point field. It is

through his experiments that he concluded that the zero-point

energy field responds to human intention. In a brief White

Paper, A Brief Introduction to Intention-Host Device

Research, Tiller discusses his experiments using special

devices to hold human intention.5 Tiller also discusses these

experiments in the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know!?


Tiller and associates believe that there are two types of

states of physical reality: the classical world and the world of

the zero-point field. These two fields exist but do not interact

with each other directly. However, when human intention is

added, a coupling takes place between these two realities, and

the classical world is altered in some way. Otherwise, they

usually remain uncoupled.

One particular experiment consisted of seasoned

meditators, with a common intention between them. Their

intention was to raise the pH level in a vessel of water by one

unit. The specially designed electronic devices, which held the

human intentions, were wrapped in aluminum foil and sent to

various labs throughout the country. The test was double-blind

and was successful. The experimenters in the blind test did not

even know what the electronic devices were supposed to do.

They were just instructed to place the devices near the water

and take measurements. The fact that human intention can be

stored and unite the classical field with the zero-point field is

astounding. The pH level of the water was increased by one

unit. To convey the significance of this degree of increase, if

this same rise happened worldwide, life on this planet would

end.

What is going on here? Not only is the observer able to

collapse a wave function through observation and

measurement in quantum physics experiments, but also is able


to affect all the atoms and molecules in a whole batch of

water. Are five meditators better than one? What could a

hundred trained meditators do? How much effect could they

have? If human intention can affect reality, what is the

threshold that must be reached before a collapse can happen in

the physical world due to intention? This is truly telekinesis or

mind-over-matter.

The Maharishi Effect

In 1960, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi predicted that 1% of

a population practicing the Transcendental Meditation (TM)

technique would produce measurable improvements in the

quality of life for the whole population.6 From the years of

1976 to 1993, groups of people trained in TM were placed

strategically throughout the world. There were fifty

demonstrations and twenty-six published studies, each

showing what became to be called the Maharishi Effect.

In many cases, crime dropped by 50-75%, heart

disease by 87%, cancer by 55%, and the need for major

surgery by 76%. It was discovered that the number of

advanced meditators, who could do the TM siddhi/powers

meditation, only needed to be the square root of 1% of the

population to affect the greater whole. The regular TM


meditators needed 1% to affect their given threshold or whole

of the population.

If taken at face value, for the world at large, it would

only take 7,745 advanced TM meditators to affect

6,000,000,000 people or 60 million regular TM meditators to

have the same affect. It would only take 1,732 advanced TM

meditators to affect the United States of America or 3 million

regular TM meditators to have the same affect.

Regardless of the size needed to create the Maharishi

Effect, there are other things to consider. All of these

practitioners were trained in the same method. Thus, they all

had group coherence and individual coherence. Human

intention and consciousness scientists have discovered that

order (or coherence) dominates disorder. If this were not so,

the Maharishi effect could not work. Nor would the

experiments of Dr. William Tiller fare any better.

Just as two entangled quantum particles are in

coherence with each other, so must the minds and brains of the

meditators be coherent. In fact, a meditator’s intention is much

stronger than a disorganized brain intention. Whether we are

dealing with telepathy or telekinesis, coherence is a major

principle involved in influencing the zero-point field.


The DNA Phantom Effect

Another strange effect from the zero-point energy field

was the one done by Russian scientist Vladimir Poponin.7 This

experiment is highly controversial but has never been

disproved by anyone so far. The experiment included some

highly sophisticated equipment and a controlled vacuum tube

containing nothing but random photons of light. Within the

virtually empty vacuum tube, light was found to be randomly

located. This came as no surprise to Poponin and his

associates. It was to be expected.

Next, Poponin inserted samples of human DNA into

the vacuum tube. For no known reason, the photons began to

become coherently organized around the DNA helix. There

was no known reason for this to happen. As if this wasn’t

strange enough already, it gets even better. When Poponin

removed the human DNA from the vacuum, the photons

remained in coherent order. Poponin named this phenomenon

the DNA Phantom Effect.

Poponin concluded that there had to be an unknown

field connection between the human DNA and the photons.

The connection between the field and the human DNA is

similar to William Tiller’s explanation as to how human

consciousness connects the zero-point energy field to physical

matter. In this case, human DNA carries a field of


consciousness—or vibration—within it, perhaps even still

linked to its donor. DNA also has its own molecular frequency

or vibration.

Good Vibrations

According to a leading researcher of biophotons,

German biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp, light is constantly

being absorbed and remitted by DNA molecules within each

cell's nucleus. These biophotons create a dynamic, coherent

web of light.8 In fact, Popp hypothesized that all cells

communicate to each other via the vibration of these

biophotons of light. It may be that cellular waves or vibrations

trigger all chemical reactions. In fact, you may only need the

vibrations or waves and not the chemical at all.

A group of French scientists decided to take this

hypothesis further by causing a guinea pig’s heart to speed up

and slow down by only using the vibratory signal of the

chemicals needed to cause the effect. They never needed the

actual chemicals to cause any effect; they only needed to send

their signals. In fact, they even proved that you could send

these signals over the Internet and get the same results.9

Imagine the significance this has on the causes of

disease. Cancer has its own vibration—a signature vibration of

its own—as does every other disease. However, we will


discuss those implications later. The United States Army

conducted another experiment involving human DNA:

GI Joe and DNA

In Gregg Braden’s book The Divine Matrix, Bridging

Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief10, there is an interesting

experiment involving human DNA. In the early 1990’s,

scientists took DNA samples from a donor and separated them

from the donor by two different, remotely located, insulated

rooms (Figure 10-1).

Figure 10-1: The donor and the DNA both reacted to the samestimulus at the same time.


The donor was in one room and the DNA in another.

These rooms were equivalent to Faraday chambers, shielding

all electromagnetic rays. When the person (donor) was

stimulated, let’s say with a burst of light, the back of the brain

would react and cause a readout to be recorded on an electrical

device like an encephalograph. Simultaneously, in the other

room, the DNA did also react at virtually the same instant, at

faster than light speed, and recorded a virtual identical

electrical readout. This experiment was successfully repeated

several years later at a distance of over 350 miles between the

donor and the DNA sample.

Again, we see another example of the zero-point

energy field becoming the medium of communication between

two coherent objects. Human emotion and human

consciousness was involved at some level with the zero-point

energy field, a field that responds to human intention.

Some Conclusions

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the sensitive

equipment needed to measure and test for fields that lay

beyond the electromagnetic levels just did not exist. Like

Plato’s analogy of the cave, we could only see shadows on the

wall. A few pioneers broke loose of their materialistic bonds

and began to see the Platonic forms that were creating the


shadows on the cave wall. They noticed that there was light

behind the forms, creating the shadows. They found the mouth

of the cave and sought to ascend to the light outside the cave

of traditional ignorance.

Those who looked directly into the Sun felt the pain

created from so many years in the cave of ignorance, upon

their unused, over-sensitive eyes. When they came back to the

cave to free the other prisoners still trapped there, they were

attacked, spat upon, and rejected.

The names of these heroes of science, religion, and

philosophy are countless, ranging throughout all of human

history. In the twenty-first century, we now have the devices

to begin to see the Sun from within our cave. Unlike Plato,

who was an initiate of higher consciousness while Aristotle

was not, we have for centuries followed the way of Aristotle

towards materialism. Now we come full circle, back to the

beginning, and see the truth for the very first time, as Plato did

two thousand years earlier.

11. Entrainment, Coherence, Resonance

In science, entrainment, coherence, and resonance are

equivalent in meaning. In quantum physics, physical healing,

telepathy, telekinesis, and all other physical systems, where

meaningful communication takes place, there must be

coherence.

An example of entrainment would be a room full of

grandfather clocks with their pendulums swinging each in its

own pattern. However, after a sufficient length of time, all the

pendulums would eventually become entrained and swing

back and forth in synchronicity. They would then be coherent,

and as a group they would resonate a composite vibration.

We have mentioned thus far that living cells can

communicate to each other without physically touching. All

communication in the body, whether by chemical molecules,

hormones, or the nervous system, guarantees a vibrational

relationship is involved. Each type of cell has its own

vibration. When an isolated cell gets out of phase, the

surrounding cells will entrain that cell back into vibrational

alignment. That is what health is. If the entrainment fails, the

cell becomes diseased. Collectively, the human body taken as

a whole has a composite vibration as well as its individual

parts.


One human physical system that has been deeply

understood only in the last decade is the perineural system.

This system consists of all the connective tissue in the body,

which stems from the nuclear to the cytoskeleton cellular, to

the periosteum on bones, to the muscular system, skin, organs,

and everything in-between.1 Thanks to the tireless efforts of

Dr. James L. Oschman, many of the latest discoveries about

this system have been brought to light.

Due to the canals of water between each of the cells,

the perineural system works as a unit or living matrix, with a

semi-conduction of electromagnetic waves. Oschman goes on

further to point out that the human body generates both

electrical and magnetic pulses.

Two Measurable Forces

The human body generates electrical fields, which in

turn generate magnetic fields. These are often named

bioelectrical and biomagnetic. The bioelectrical fields are

limited to the body structures, but the biomagnetic fields are

not and emanate beyond the physical body. Two movements

generate electricity in the tissues of the body: mechanical and

hydraulic.

One example is how charged particles or ions traveling

through the cardiovascular system interact with static tissues


and create bioelectricity. The other form of bioelectricity is

caused by structural deformation, muscle contraction, and the

crystalline structure of the bones. This bioelectric effect is

known as piezoelectric. The whole perineural system is like a

liquid crystal. Living crystals are soft, pliable, and composed

of long flexible molecules.2

The perineural system, like a composite liquid crystal,

is a semiconductor. A semiconductor is the middle ground

between a conductor and an insulator. It is capable of carrying

bioelectrical signals throughout the whole body at once. It is

considered by Oschman to be faster than the nervous system

in relaying communications throughout the body.

Remember that the model of consciousness by

Hameroff and Penrose was based on the microtubules in the

brain cells (known as neurons) being able to vibrate, isolated,

into quantum superposition. This idea first came to Hameroff

while watching a one-celled paramecium reproduce, look for

food, and solve problems without a nucleus, brain, or nervous

system. The microtubules knew how to cause cell division

without a physical brain directing its actions. Microtubules are

part of the perineural system; therefore, many evolutionists

believe that the perineural system is the original proto-nervous

system.


The Biomagnetic Fields

Superconducting quantum interference devices

(SQUID) are very sensitive magnetometers, used to measure

extremely weak magnetic fields. Due to the SQUID’s use in

many nations and the research involved at the Institute of

HeartMath, it has been established that the heart’s magnetic

component is about 5000 times stronger than the brain’s

magnetic field and can be detected several feet away from the

body.3 This shows that biomagnetic fields are not limited to

the body and that they emanate outwards towards the

surrounding environment. These magnetic fields both affect

and are affected by the magnetic environment.

In order for health to exist in the body, the body must

be biologically coherent. Through clinical experiments, it has

been discovered that biomagnetic frequencies contain

information. This information jump-starts the healing process

and stimulates faster mending of broken tissues. Specific

discrete frequencies send different messages to different

tissues, using various electronic instruments. See Table 11-1.

and fibroblast proliferation25 & 50 Hz Synergist effects and nerve growth

Table 11-1: Biomagnetic frequencies that affect health.


Both Lynn McTaggart4 and Dr. John Oschman5 have

documented many of the studies done on the hands of healers

from all persuasions and traditions. It was found that the

magnetic fields emanating from the healers’ hands scanned

between 0.03 to 50 cycles per second (CPS) but mostly

hovered at 7.8 CPS. This becomes interesting because this is

where the Schumann waves of the Earth tend to resonate.

Schumann Waves and Planetary Entrainment

Physicist Winfried Otto Schumann mathematically

predicted the existence of the resonance between the Earth and

the Ionosphere in 1952. However, it was not until

measurements made by Balser and Wagner in 1960-19636 that

proved its existence. The Schumann Wave resonates roughly

between 1-40Hz. This is similar to the range of human

brainwaves and the array of healing energies emanating from

healers’ hands.

Figure 11-1: Schumann Waves


The Schumann Wave is created by a combination of

lightning activity from around the world (Figure 11-1). There

are about 200 lightning strikes every second of every day.

Therefore, the field is constantly being charged. These pulses

tend to occur mostly in the daytime and are influenced by

solar, lunar, and planetary positions, as well as sunspots.

This overlapping between biological fields and the

Schumann resonance is not accidental but part of our

evolutionary history. Our health is so dependent on it that

NASA and the USSR studied the effects of prolonged space

travel, where the astronauts did not receive any normal

Schumann resonance. The astronauts were more disoriented

than expected to be. It is now believed by many researchers

that NASA shuttles are now equipped with Schumann wave

generators.7

What is known and has been studied are the

entrainment effects on organisms, both internal and external.

For example, many animals can sensethe Earth’s geomagnetic

field. Geomagnetic rhythms also cue up and affect biorhythms

in multiple ways. The ancient acupuncture belief in circadian

rhythms of the human body has now been verified.8


Entrainment Internal/External its Effects on People

There have been arguments, both pro and con, on the

effects of external entrainment upon human beings. However,

the evidence over the last two decades supports the effects of

weather, the geomagnetic field, solar storms, and sunspots on

human behavior. Just a spike in humidity alone will drive up

all the pain indicators for chronic arthritic conditions.

Many studies have concluded that the brain has its own

built-in entrainment system, located in either the thalamus or

the pineal gland.9 According to researchers, a thalamic

oscillation takes place with the buildup of calcium ions, which

oscillates between 1.5 to 28 seconds. When this threshold is

reached, a silent phase begins that lasts for about 5 to 25

seconds. During this silent phase, external entrainment can

dominate.10

Researcher Gregg Braden’s view11 is even more

extended. He perceives a galactic rhythm affecting the Sun. In

turn, the Sun affects the Earth, and the Earth affects the

biorhythms of our heart, rather than our brain. It is through our

heart of compassion and clarity that we influence the world.

Oschman’s model on how external entrainment works

is a little less ambitious than Braden’s model, but just as

exciting (Figure 11-2). Oschman perceives the Schumann

resonance entraining the pineal gland12, which in turn entrains


the whole perineural system, which in turn allows the healer to

transmit the vibration to an injured tissue site. Remember:

coherency dominates the disorganization found in disease, and

magnetic fields are not limited to body structures for

containment.

Figure 11-2: External to Internal to Healing Entrainment.


Geomagnetic Fields and the Power of Intention

While Oschman’s work is remarkable, Lynn

McTaggart’s documentation on the effects of external

entrainment go to the next level. She shows that the power of

human intention increases when the Earth’s geomagnetic field

is activated. Healers are able to affect their clients more easily

and are more successful on such days.13

To the contrary, on very calm days when the

geomagnetic field is silent, and the solar storms are abated,

telepathy is stronger while healing and telekinesis is weaker.

This would make sense from the point of view of quantum

mechanics. It takes a sufficiently strong wave to reach its

threshold before it prematurely collapses from decoherence

and interference from the classical world of physics.

Some Conclusions

The purpose of this chapter is to show that even on a

materialistic level, the universe is made up of electromagnetic

waves. These waves are amendable to entrainment, coherence,

and human intention. Order dominates disorder. Order is

health, and disorder is disease. Just the vibrational signal,

minus its chemical molecule, is all that is needed to cause

cellular changes. Two cells can communicate without


touching, just by oscillating the right frequency. This is

starting to sound like Star Trek’s Dr. McCoy’s tricorder,

which emitted vibrations of entrainment to facilitate healing in

his sick bay.

Finally, for those who would like to know what space

weather is like on a daily basis, I suggest the Space Weather

Prediction Center, better known as NOAA.14 A G1 is a mild

storm and a G5 is a severe storm. Check it out for yourself.

See if you are psychic more so on some days than other days.

You may find that you have more synchronistic events happen

to you during strong geomagnetic storms or magnetic solar

mass ejections.

We live in a universe of geomagnetic waves of varying

frequencies, not solid particles. While this chapter is

interesting, we still have not connected it with the deeper

levels of the zero-point field. We will consider that later. For

now, we will continue another aspect of this conversation. We

will follow the lead started by Harold Saxton Burr, taken up

by David Bohm, and carried on further by Rupert Sheldrake:

the theory of morphogenesis and the form fields involved.

12. Form Follows Function, or Does It?

Wolff’s law is a theory, developed by the German

Anatomist/Surgeon, Julius Wolff (1836–1902), in the 19th

century. In short, it means that the way a bone functions soon

will cause a remodeling in the bone itself, due to the demands

placed upon it. However, we could extend this definition to

cover the complete human body. If you walk bent over for a

substantial length of time, you will change the shape of your

organs, muscles, and connective tissues as well.

This is one way to look at form remodeling in the

biological divisions of matter and could be extended to non-

living matter as well. The question is thus begged, how does

the initial form of a cell, a bone, a muscle, or the human body

take place? If you argue that it comes from the genes or DNA,

you would be wrong. The DNA is identical in every cell of a

human body. So, where does the information come from to tell

the DNA what type of cell to make, how many to make, and

what form it should take?

In molecular biological circles, the process of

formative causation is known as morphogenesis.

Morphogenesis is taken from the Greek morphê shape and

genesis creation, and literally means “beginning of the shape.”

Morphogenesis is a problem for biological scientists of all

camps and divisions of theory.


Dr. Harold Saxton Burr (1889-1973) first presented a

theoretical solution to the problem of morphogenesis publicly

from 1916 to just before his death. He had worked many years

upon the subject but did not become that vocal about it until

he had secured tenure at Yale University School of Medicine.

In his book The Electrical Patterns of Life1 he states, “The

Universe in which we find ourselves and from which we can

not be separated is a place of Law and Order. It is not an

accident, nor chaos. It is organized and maintained by an

Electro-dynamic field capable of determining the position and

movement of all charged particles.”2

Burr’s research and experimentation led him to

conclude that all living things –from men to mice, from trees

to seeds –are molded and controlled by electro-dynamic

fields. These fields could be measured and mapped with

standard voltmeters. Thus, it was the electro-dynamic fields

that caused form to happen and not the DNA.

It must be mentioned that the concept of the field was

relatively new to the 19th and 20th centuries. From the 17th

century to about 1840, matter was still considered the

fundamental reality and comparable to little round billiard

balls interacting with each other. It was not until Michael

Faraday (1791 –1867) had discovered electromagnetism, that

the concept of the field entered physics. However, it was not

until the 1860’s that James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)


created the mathematics needed to describe the

electromagnetic fields for physics. Yet, the concept of the

subtle energy of ether was still believed to exist and played a

part in the foundation of the field.

It was not until the Michelson-Morley experiment of

1887 that physics convinced itself that ether did not exist.

Later, even Einstein hedged back and forth on the subject

several times. Today, it is believed that the equipment used by

Michelson-Morley was too crude to actually measure for

etheric fields. Therefore, ether may actually exist at some level

of reality, as Max Planck suggested in 1944.3

Thus, we have many fields in science today and many

electromagnetic waves of varying frequencies. We have

gravitational fields, electrical fields, magnetic fields, and zero-

point fields to name a few. This has led science to the search

for the one ground or unifying field. String theory and other

pursuits by physics represent the effort to find the Holy Grail

of physics: the Grand Unified Field. So far, it has not been

found, but most physicists believe it will be found later if not

sooner. Thus, the passion for reductionism in science is

reinforced because it is believed that by understanding the

tiniest pieces of matter, we will understand the whole

universe. Some scientists call this the “God Particle4.”

Reductionism as scientific method has spilled over into

molecular biology, because molecules are the smallest units


within the life sciences. Microbiologists believe that the

answers to incurable diseases and more will be found at this

sub-cellular level of existence. Therefore, reductionism

theories get the most funding in universities. However, some

pioneers in biology, as well as in physics, have heard the

sound of a different drummer and have gone in another

direction. They believe the answer to how formation takes

place in both living and non-living matter is not found in

reductionism, or in holistic views, but rather in the fields of

formation-ism.

The Revolution Begins

The concept of the field has entered biology through

Burr and many others, such as Robert Becker and Gary

Selden.5 There has also been pioneering work by Richard

Gerber in his book Vibrational Medicine.6 Yet, one of the

most well-known pioneers is Rupert Sheldrake7, who has

taken his understanding to both the academic world and to the

common citizen.

Sheldrake has probably done more than anyone to

make the concept of morphogenic fields more comprehensible

and scientific. In his earlier work A New Science of Life, he

demonstrates his basic foundational concepts concerning


morphogenic fields. He also has many videos on the Internet,

free to anyone who has the inclination to view them.

In one such Internet video8, Sheldrake states that no

one understands embryology or the mechanism behind the

formations taking place. We have limbs, yet one limb is a right

limb, and the other is a left limb. The DNA is identical. How

does the body get instructions to form right limbs and left

limbs? Thus, the concept of a morphic field as a working

hypothesis is then presented by Sheldrake.

One great concept that shows how electro-magnetic

fields relate to living morphogenic fields can be shown with

an ordinary bar magnet. See Figure 12-1 below.

Figure 12-1: Break a bar magnet into four pieces and you will thenhave four bar magnets.

If you take a bar magnet and break it into four pieces,

you have not destroyed the magnet or its magnetism. Instead,

what you have created now is four new magnets, each


containing its own magnetic field. The field remains, but in

smaller parameters. What you see reflected here is a

regeneration of the original bar magnet into four complete

smaller units.

Regeneration is also a huge problem to explain with

mainstream molecular biology. Imagine taking a flatworm and

cutting it into three equal pieces (see Figure 12-2).

Figure 12-2: Shows how one flatworm after being dissected into threepieces can regenerate as three complete flatworms.

By comparison to the regeneration of the magnets

mentioned above, the flatworm regenerates as three

completely new flatworms. This is a good comparison to show

how morphogenic fields have properties similar to magnetic

fields. For Sheldrake, morphogenic fields can be affected by

magnetic and electrical fields, but are themselves neither.

Human beings can regenerate a liver, but not a limb.

Yet, newts and salamanders can regenerate their limbs.


Sheldrake takes this a step further and shows that after

removing the lens from the eye of a newt, it was able to

regenerate the whole lens from the edge of the iris.9 This is not

what happens in the newt’s embryonic development, which

originally creates the lens from a skin covering the newt’s eye.

So where does the new ability come from? It comes from the

morphogenic field that surrounds all newts as a species.

Sheldrake proposes that there are many morphic fields

and different types. There are social fields, mind fields,

behavior fields, and fields that even form crystals. Sheldrake

reports that when a new crystal is made in a laboratory for the

first time, it takes time for the form field or morphic field to

assimilate and form the crystal. Yet, in subsequent

experiments, the new crystal is forming faster and faster

because the morphic field for that species of crystal is able to

learn.10

Resonance is the term Sheldrake uses to explain the

causative ability of morphogenic fields to learn from the past

and from other fields. To his credit, Sheldrake does not

consider morphogenic fields to be made of mass or waves and

to be non-energetic.11 However, without the morphogenic

fields, the universe would be in chaos. Sheldrake also sees no

reason why morphogenic fields should have to obey the

known laws of classical physics and that future resonances or

causes could possibly happen.


Morphogenic fields, for Sheldrake, explain how

telepathy can and does exist between people and animals. He

considers this to be very natural and not supernatural. When

showing picture puzzles for the first time to a group of people,

it took them so long, on average, to figure out the hidden

image. As one might guess, the more the experiment was

done, the faster each new group could solve the picture puzzle.

This demonstrates a possible collective unconscious, similar to

what Carl G. Jung proposed.

Finally, for Sheldrake, the laws of the universe are

merely habits that have been built over time. These habits

could also be described as memory. Sheldrake indicates by

analogy that morphic fields are hierarchical in nature. Just as a

city is in a county, a county is in a state, a state is in a country,

and a country is in a world, so are morphic fields configured

(Figure 12-3).

Figure 12-3: Here is shown a Chinese series of hierarchical sets ofthrees. Each one is nested in the other.


Therefore, as shown in Figure 12-3, Sheldrake sees

morphic fields as being nested in each other hierarchically.12

For Sheldrake, the morphic fields are natural but cannot be

measured directly, due to the limitations of current science and

technology. He believes that someday they will be found. Yet,

he does not deny that electromagnetic fields and chemistry can

affect morphogenic fields and the resultant forms, but they

cannot explain them.

Electromagnetic Stimulation

For those who live closer to the earth, there were two

more experiments done to see if animals not having the natural

ability to regenerate could be stimulated to do so through

artificial means. In 1967, Stephen D. Smith, at the University

of Kentucky, implanted tiny batteries into the amputated limbs

of a frog. Frogs cannot regenerate their limbs like salamanders

can. Smith was successful showing that electromagnetic

vibration could stimulate regeneration.13 There were also some

successful experiments on rats and other small mammals, but

not as dynamic as a true morphic field could accomplish.14

As we have already shown in the last few chapters,

vibrational medicine is becoming more accepted everyday.

Electromagnetic instruments with specific frequencies can

stimulate soft tissue and bone growth. However, none of these


magnetic stimulations can explain form. Just as chemistry and

steroids can stimulate growth into form, they of themselves

cannot explain it.

Group Souls and Morphogenic Fields

The problem of form goes all the way back to Aristotle

and Plato. Yet, as time goes by, Plato seems more right than

was at first accredited him. Could a morphogenic field be the

extension of the perfect form of a species as Plato taught? Are

there Universal Forms and Essences that learn and change?

C. Jinarajadasa, a theosophist and faithful follower of

H. P. Blavatsky, taught the esoteric doctrine of group souls.15

A group soul can account for the group intelligence of a

species, whether it be animal, mineral, or vegetable. How do

bees know how to build geodesic hives? How does the whole

species of monkeys learn something when a threshold is

reached, such as the 100th monkey syndrome?16

In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were

providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand.

The monkeys would spend hours picking off the sand particles

before eating the sweet potatoes. Then one day, a young

female of about 18 months accidentally dropped the sweet

potato into the beach water. When she picked it up, it was

washed clean of all sand particles. From that day forward, she


began to teach other monkeys to do the same. Except for a few

old-timers, every monkey had mastered the skill of washing

the sweet potatoes by 1958. This would be reward enough,

except that it gets even better. When the scientists visited the

neighboring islands, all of the same species of monkeys had

already adopted the same skill of sweet potato washing. This

knowledge and ability had jumped the oceans to other islands.

A threshold had been reached, similar to the wave function in

quantum physics, and the whole species adapted at once to the

new skill and knowledge. Thus, it was named the 100th

monkey syndrome to represent the unknown threshold.

The famous Jesuit scholar, Teilhard de Chardin,

proposed that an event or threshold was going to happen to all

of humanity in the future. He called this threshold the “Omega

Point.” At this point, all of humanity would unite as one

conscious mind—the Earth’s mind.

Another indirect interpretation of morphogenic fields

is found in the works of Rudolph Steiner, the famous

Anthroposophist. His view of universal forms is closer to

Sheldrake’s view of morphogenic fields. For Steiner, the

eternal forms were non-static (moving and adapting).

Steiner, through direct clairvoyant perception of the

more subtle realms of existence, could see what theosophists

name group souls (see Figure 12-4). He saw that a human

being had seven vehicles, not just the physical body. He


perceived that the higher vehicles had the perfected form of

the man, but the lower vehicles, due to karma, had many times

become distorted, creating disease.

Figure 12-4: Schematic of the Constitution of Man, Angel, Archangel,and Archai. For Man: 1. Physical Body, 2. Etheric Body, 3. AstralBody, 4. Higher Ego, 5. Spirit Self, 6. Spirit Life, 7. Spirit Body.

In his writings, Steiner proposed that the physical body

of an archangel is no longer connected to the archangel

directly. In fact, it is now many physical bodies of a single

species, perhaps an animal.17 The archangel itself is the

overlord or ruling soul of the group. This spiritual being is the

intelligence behind the morphogenic field. What the perfect

form of a tiger should be is already known in the spiritual

realms. It is the consciousness of the group soul that preserves


the plan, or architecture, and commands the etheric-electro

and magnetic fields of builders to direct the DNA and

chemicals, on the physical plane, to create the form as already

blueprinted.

At the levels of the electromagnetic, karma happens,

fields are distorted and deviated from the Divine Plan, and

malformation takes place. This is where acupuncture and

many forms of vibrational medicine work to correct the energy

body of the patient to insure healing.

Steiner also mentions that the group souls of nations

are archangels and that the archai rule whole ages of

evolution. These beings are also evolving and changing. These

group souls might also be Sheldrake’s morphic fields.

According to esoteric sciences, every being exists in the field

of a greater being. This is similar to Sheldrake’s nested

hierarchy concept of morphogenic fields. Cells exist in our

bodies, our bodies in a community, etc. Therefore, it is not

inconceivable that the morphic field of a group of monkeys is

the group soul of an archangel.

Some Conclusions

The problem of dualism still haunts Sheldrake’s

theories of morphogenic fields, even though he may think it

does not. He has already regulated his hypotheses to the non-


detectable by inferring that the morphic fields are neither

waves, nor particles, nor subject to time and space limitations.

Inferring a material monism or an implicate order such as

David Bohm’s theory of physics will not do the trick either.

The second law of thermal dynamics is violated if there is no

exchange of measurable energy between the morphic fields

and the physical form.

Plainly speaking, Sheldrake is right: the morphic fields

do in fact exist. They are a necessity. However, if we borrow

from Dr. Amit Goswami’s hypothesis that absolute

consciousness is the foundation of reality, then the dualism

disappears. Through a parallelism of realms, consciousness

maps in the directions given in the morphic fields to the

physical forms. No exchange of energy need be happening and

the second law of thermal dynamics is not violated.

This does not mean that self-consciousness is not an

epiphenomena; it most likely is. Self-consciousness is the

epiphenomena of proto or absolute consciousness reflecting

back on itself. Comparable to light, which remains invisible

until reflected back, self-awareness is the result of absolute

consciousness reflecting back on itself through the physical

brain. The brain is both a receiver and a sender of information,

a tool of consciousness. The brain is a fun house of mirrors for

consciousness to become its own subject. Thus, as

Krishnamurti proclaimed, the observer becomes the observed.


However, absolute consciousness is proto consciousness or

Divine Consciousness. Remember: higher consciousness is the

Holy Grail and there are gradients or degrees of consciousness

between ego personality and the Divine.

13. Morphogenic & Zero-Point Fields and Scalar

Waves

Ultimately, what is the purpose of man’s search into

quantum physics all about? Is it just some strange curiosity

that plagues only the human race, causing it to seek to be more

than what it appears to be to the five senses? I think not. I

believe science and its discoveries are to serve humanity,

something Wilhelm Reich also believed.1 The true purpose of

all our research into the mysteries of being is to heal our

diseases, improve our lives, and to know the truth. As Jesus is

quoted in the Bible as saying, “And ye shall know the truth,

and the truth shall make you free.”2

How will knowing about the zero-point field, scalar

waves, and morphogenic fields help free humanity? Well, for

one, apparently within the vacuum of space is all the energy

we could ever need, want, and use. It does not entropy or

cause oil spills. Dr. William A. Tiller3 has made this

abundantly clear and has demonstrated, through his research,

that the zero-point field responds to human intention.

What we think, feel, and observe matters. Whenever

we observe, we are making a measurement in the field of our

perception. Our left-brain filters all the excess data from our

right-brain, in accordance to our conditioning. In a sense, our

complete brain is the result of the collapse of the morphic field


that programs it. Change the morphic field and you change the

collapse of the wave function, no matter what it is. This is how

instant healing and spontaneous remission of disease happens.

Sheldrake has argued that there are morphic fields

nested within other morphic fields.4 By analogy, I would argue

that every system in the human body has a unique morphic

field interacting with others. There is a morphic field copy of

every organ in the human body. As consciousness affects the

zero-point field, the zero-point field affects the scalar waves.

The scalar waves affect the morphic fields, which affect the

electromagnetic fields of the body through vibration, which

programs the DNA, which results in either health or disease.

In a sense, scalar waves are the inverse of

electromagnetic fields, and vice versa. James Clerk Maxwell

originally understood this in his original twenty-four

quaternion equations. Together, they are the unified field

Einstein was looking for.5 When Maxwell died, Oliver

Heaviside took over his work and edited the equations down

to a simplistic four equations. No copy of the original work by

Maxwell remained and has been lost to history. Perhaps, the

reason Einstein failed to unify gravity with the other forces of

physics is because he was building on the truncated versions

of Maxwell’s equations.


Dr. Richard Bartlett and Matrix Energetics®

One researcher who has been doing some exciting

work in applying quantum physics and consciousness to

healing is Dr. Richard Bartlett.6 At his seminars, many people

are instantly healed of various problems, such as scoliosis.

Others receive healing over a measure of time. Significant

personalities, such as the Dali Lama and Dr. William A. Tiller,

have been seen at his seminars. Bartlett has not produced any

statistics as to what percentage of people are helped by his

methods, and perhaps he feels that this is not the issue. His

seminars are to train people to do what he does, for themselves

and others.

Building on what Bartlett calls the quantum physics

mythology, he has explained and taught his concepts. For

example, he teaches what is called the “Two-Point”

application.7 Since it takes two points to have a measurement

between them, like in quantum physics, the practitioner finds

two points on the client’s body. Just as two photons can

become entangled, so eventually the two points become non-

local and one—kind of like a double phase conjugate.

The practitioner has to be in a “drop down” heart

consciousness to begin to observe or notice what he notices.

He observes from the heart space what is different both

internally and externally. Observing without judging allows


for a new pathway or space to be created.8 The main key is to

do nothing and allow the morphic field to collapse on its own.

When successful, the related morphic field is collapsed anew,

even causing the client to swoon in a wave-like motion. A

kind of restructuring takes place. This phenomenon often

results in spontaneous healing. Of course, there is much more

to this theory by Bartlett, but this is a good thumbnail sketch

of his concept for our purposes.

Other Methods of Quantum Energy Healing

Other methods of healing are taking place at quantum

levels by the consciousness shifting of the healer him/her self.

The practitioner, such as of the Yuen Method, makes

corrections energetically to the patient.9 By scanning the body

energetically, using muscle testing, the problem is identified

and corrected by the consciousness of the practitioner.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)10, made popular

by Gary Craig (now retired), is another example of quantum

physics and consciousness leading to healing. By gently

tapping on Chinese meridian points (the same ones

acupuncturists use), healing is initiated. The current

Newtonian model of physics cannot explain this; it is another

form of quantum healing.


Some Conclusions

Morphic fields and the patterns of scalar waves often

seen in sand dunes, ocean currents, and cloud formations may

only be the results of long-term habits. The basic laws of the

universe might only be the buildup of morphic fields that are

able to learn and remember what works. Maybe they can learn

because they are the vehicles of conscious beings (angels).

Perhaps an undercurrent, a master morphic field, or

Platonic form exists and is the self-correcting impulse in the

universe. This would explain why Bartlett’s patients recover

by allowing rather than by doing. The master morphic field,

the Platonic “Good” form, is the foundation of all the other

forms. It would also contain all the other forms in their

pristine perfected form, before their copies became corrupted.

The intention of the master morphic field had to be put there

by some cosmic consciousness or intention (God).

So then, what is evil? Does it exist? What are the

ramifications of humanity’s latent unconscious abilities of

telekinesis? Lynn McTaggart calls this possibility of negative

manifestations the Voodoo Effect.11 The problem of negative

intention is what we will deal with in the next chapter.

14. The War of All Against All

Spiritual scientist and Doctor of epistemology,

Rudolph Steiner, spoke many times of the war of all against

all. This never made sense to me until I began to understand

the implications of quantum physics and the power of human

intention. Steiner stated:

Mighty flames of fire destroyed ancient Lemuria, and

mighty floods ancient Atlantis. Our civilization will

also perish, through the war of all against all. This is

what we must face. Our fifth root-race will perish,

because egoism will reach its highest pitch.1

If we couple extreme egoism with human focused

intention, what will then be the result? If, over time, all of

humanity gets in touch with the awareness of telekinesis and

the power of intention, will we turn on each other like a pack

of mad, rabid, infested wolves? Steiner goes on further to say:

But at the same time, a small group of men will

develop the power of Budhi, of the Life-Spirit, through

the force of thought, in order to carry over Budhi into

the new civilization. Everything that is productive in

the striving human being will grow stronger and

stronger, until his personality reaches the summit of

freedom.2


It would appear, from Steiner’s point of view, that the

war of all against all is unavoidable and will result with a

remnant of survivors who will carry on the human race. This

remnant will develop the higher mind/spirit inner guidance

that will help them survive the global transition. The higher

ego is to be honored and the lower ego to be transcended and

redeemed through completion.

Steiner is not alone in his concern about the misuses of

egocentric-directed power struggles. The great high priestess

of the occult, H. P. Blavatsky, stressed many times the power

of human intention and focused imagination to create dark

results. This could happen both consciously and

unconsciously. Anyone who dabbled in such dark arts

consciously, to kill or cause harm to another, was known as a

black magician or Dugpa in India.3 However, even

unconscious dark intentions still can happen with unaware,

negative-intentioned people.

Blavatsky herself was quite a master of telekinesis. She

could precipitate letters from the Masters out of seemingly

thin air. She could transmute metal, such as turning a lead set

of apartment keys into a whistle for a present. She could also

duplicate objects like a hand mirror. She claimed to do these

things through the Indian practice of Kriya Shakti or Mind

Power.4


On a more contemporary note, Lynn McTaggart tells

of her experience with her own non-intended negative

intentions.5 When McTaggart discovered that her house

cleaner accidentally cleaned off all of the chrome from her

new expensive bathroom faucets, she went ballistic

emotionally. Later she discovered that at the exact time she

felt this way, her house cleaner fell down and hurt herself.

This is, of course, anecdotal, but it makes the point.

McTaggart calls this the Voodoo Effect.

McTaggart documents studies for us that show how

many times healers use negative intention to get desired

results. One such time would be when healers are intending

that cancer cells die.6 Healers, through negative intentions, can

also inhibit bacterial growth.

Other healers are afraid to use negative intentions.

They are afraid that the negative intention will move beyond

the bacteria or cancer onto the patient. The Canadian healer,

Olga Worrell, feels this way and will not use such negative

intentions.7 It was also discovered that distance is no limit for

negative or positive intentions. Bacterial cultures could be

affected 15 miles away during experiments for telekinesis.

Qigong practitioners’ outward intentions have the

power to destroy or enhance.8 Qigong masters can

intentionally weaken their opponent from a distance by


sending negative qi or chi towards them. On the other hand,

they can also strengthen others and themselves.

One practitioner using chi corrections in a positive

sense to allow for pain relief and healing is Kam Yuen.9 Kam

Yuen, inventor of the Yuen Method TM, is able to many times

relieve a person’s pain in a matter of minutes. Being a former

martial artist, he discovered that he could quickly weaken his

opponents through certain intentions, or he could strengthen

them with the opposite intentions.

Mass Minded Implications and the Media

By implication, if a collective morphic field of

consensus thinking exists for humanity, and human intention

collapses the world into existence, think of the power the

media has. People do not have to consciously know they are

part of a consensus morphic field to be manipulated into

manifesting what the media wants them to create. Propaganda

mass media machines actually create what the elite want to

manifest. This is the secret behind ad campaigns and mass

media exposure. If Oprah Winfrey promotes your book on her

show, you’ll sell millions of copies overnight. Thank God for

Oprah; she is well intentioned, and she uses the media

correctly to do well.


Mass exposure is one thing, but programming for

manifestation is another. Somewhat similar to the movie, The

Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves, newscasters are doing more

than reporting the news; they are literally creating it. Even if it

is done unconsciously, the media’s message is literally

programming people; and the mainstream media enforces

materialism as the one true reality. Instead of a field of human

batteries, like in the Matrix movie, we have a field of

unconscious human co-creators. Once a consensus is reached,

like the hundredth monkey analogy, gravity rules, and the

populace cannot levitate. Another collective wave collapses

from the Zero-Point field, and materialism is reinforced. Only

mystics and Gurus, who think outside the collective morphic

field, still can literally walk on water.10

However, the Internet can be an alternative to mass

media domination. Chat rooms, Internet blogs, and other

interactive communications have the potential to challenge the

mass mainstream media and force it to be more honest.

Some Conclusions

In my opinion, there are secret societies that have held

back this knowledge of co-creation and manifestation of

reality from the general society for good reasons originally. At

least, this is what has been argued and taught by esoteric


philosophy. However, it is obvious that the time has come

where the greater truth needs to be made clearer. The veil of

Isis has now been publicly rented, like the Jewish inner temple

veil at the time of the crucifixion of Christ. The separation

between God and humanity is gone, even if it was never there.

We all have equal access to the Zero-Point quantum field. An

intermediary or organization is no longer needed in the

traditional sense.

As the many branches of twenty-first century science

catch up with the perceptual doors opened by quantum physics

in the twentieth century, the one truth that science, philosophy,

and religion all have sought is at hand. Even if quantum

physics turns out to be only a useful fiction, it did lead us back

to the Grail castle and the truth. The truth is that consciousness

collapses the universe. Blessed are those whose eyes are open,

and whose ears do hear. For those who can bear it, the

Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand.

15. Afterward

In this work, I have tried to show the implications of

quantum physics and its relationship to consciousness. I do not

consider this book to be a work of mainstream science, but

rather of spiritual science and philosophy. And like the ancient

seafaring maps, where the navigator would fill in the unknown

charted areas with a serpent, we have been swimming with the

serpents during this work.

The archetype of the serpent was a symbol in the

ancient Eastern cultures of Wisdom. It was also the symbol

used to refer to initiates of higher consciousness, who were

considered twice born: once as a human, and again as a god.

Therefore, Jesus could speak in code when he admonished his

followers to be wise as serpents, but gentle as doves.1

We are at a crossroads in human evolution, socially

and individually. Our relationship and responsibility to our

own thoughts, feelings, and intentions are being made

apparent. Our very lives and health depend on it. Drug

induced medicine is slowly failing with prescriptive side

effects more malignant than the symptoms being treated by

them. Modern medicine is on the brink of a revolution,

moving towards vibrational medicine and energy healing

work.


Organized religions that are flexible enough to

embrace the change in human consciousness may survive. If

they cannot, they will be replaced by those that can. Science

and Spirit are coming together in spite of the inertia

encountered with the former religious and scientific status

quo.

Political and economical systems are failing, being

based upon primitive materialistic models and crippling

morphic fields. The creation of all poverty is based upon the

belief in poverty as a necessary fact. Yet, the facts are that

poverty is politically created through the belief and intention

of the collective morphic field that allows it to continue.

For we wrestle, not against flesh and blood, but against

principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the

darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high

places, and morphic fields of large investment.2

In my book, The Gospel of Co-Creation,3 I discuss in

fuller detail the implications and ultimate teleology of

humanity. We are not the only gods in the universe. No, we

are just the youngest. We are learning to be conscious

creators, how to form a square in our imaginations, you might

say, when we want to.

All the gods before us have been human at some stage

in their development. They too had to go through their war of

all against all. Nevertheless, they ultimately learned to work


together as a community of willingly submitted egos. You see

this theme reflected in the Star Trek series by the relationship

between humanity and the Vulcans. The Vulcans are a higher

race that takes humanity under its wing, after we develop

warp-drive spaceships, which allow us to fly outside of our

solar system. At that point, the Vulcans take an interest in

humanity and make first contact.

This archetypal theme is also reflected in the New

Testament’s Book of Revelations with the New Jerusalem4

symbol of the city that comes down from the heavens to earth.

This symbol is the archetype or morphic field of the

community humanity will fully collapse into the particle of

experience. It will be heaven on Earth. We will someday

replace our current world morphic field with the intended and

perfected morphic field of the City of Peace.

Final Conclusions

I do not believe we have to have a war of all against

all. I believe we can choose a different path. Yet, that path will

have to be one of cooperation and sharing of resources on all

levels. The choice is ours; it always has been. I believe there is

a Divine Plan and we are part of it, but we must choose it. We

can create heaven or we can create hell. There is no one else to

blame but us.


Therefore, I call heaven and earth to record this day

against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing

and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed

may live.5
