The Nonlocal, Entangled, Conscious Universe:
From the Spookiness of Limited Mind to the Undivided Wholeness of Reality,

Quantum mechanics brought in the role of observation in a primary way, and the participatory universe of John A. Wheeler is a natural consequence of measurement theory in standard John von Neumann quantum view established more than 80 years ago.
Recently, entanglement has been demonstrated in macroscopic diamond crystals, implying that non-trivial quantum e ects are not con ned to the microscopic realm.
Quantum theory in its foundations implies a primary role for the mind and interactions of observers with objects under observation.
Yet, despite these profound experimental results confirming quantum physics, neuroscience assigns mental activity to physical process and seeks explanations in neuronal connections and processes with no obvious role for the observer or agency implied by quantum physics.
Although advancing our knowledge of correlates of conscious experience and yielding great medical advances, brain science through its fundamental physicalist assumptions has yielded little in the actual understanding of experience and mind.
e emerging view proposed here is that entanglement, nonlocality and coherent structures are all manifestations of the universe which is basically living and conscious.
Consciousness manifesting as awareness, of objects and the observing agent, is primary, rather than derived through blind processes as current materialist approaches claim.
Entanglement is not a peculiarity of quantum mechanical phenomena at microscopic scales. It is instead the natural feature of the primacy of consciousness, operating through three fundamental principles of complementarity; creative interactivity and sentience; and recursion.
The main issue is not how such the universe is nonlocal and entangled but rather how it appears as made of distinct, physical objects.
What is proposed is that the mind creates a veiling of undivided wholeness.
It is both the new and also ancient vision of non-duality, which we should pass on to the next generations.
As I said before, the universe is one big cloud of stuff. This is not a metaphor.
[MENTION=4108]Radiant Shadow[/MENTION] Have you seen this research on how pets know when their owners are coming home?Here is your video for the weekend…I always like listening to Rupert Sheldrake talk…he would fascinating to just sit and talk with.
Enjoy…this is a good one too!
Rupert Sheldrake:
the Evolution of Telepathy
[video=youtube_share;2MOzlSF0a8M]http://youtu.be/2MOzlSF0a8M[/video]
The Perrott-Warrick Lecture by Dr. Rupert Sheldrake (February 9th. 2011), in which were described phenomena indicative of the existence of telepathy in both animals and human beings.
Abstract: Field observations have suggested that wolves and other wild animals may communicate telepathically over many miles, and surveys have shown that about 50% of dog owners and about 30% of cat owners believe that their pets may respond to their thoughts or silent commands.
Among humans, apparent telepathy is most commonly reported between members of families and between close friends and colleagues.
Experimental investigations of telepathy in animals and people suggest that telepathy may be a natural means of communication between members of animal and human groups.
Human telepathy is still evolving in the context of modern technologies, including the internet, emails, SMS messages and telephones.
Dr. Sheldrake will show how anyone can explore their own abilities in automated telepathy tests using mobile phones.
If you wish to post it here is the link - http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-becklund-breast-cancer-komen-20150222-story.html#page=1I work with so many people who promote this breast cancer awareness get your boobs checked every year nonsense. Chemo kills. Radiation kills. I know for a fact the doctors will push both treatments because they're covered by insurance even though the patient has only 6 months to live. It happened with my beloved B when he was diagnosed with colon cancer.
I feel for those who are still hanging on the idea that the medical industry has actual healing on their minds. It's all lies....and when those people finally get it through their closed minds what they've been peddling and promoting for all these years was actually an attempt to kill off the population - their hearts are going to break. No wonder heart attacks amongst women are on the rise. I think they intuitively know.... I know I did....because I stopped doing the annual pap and mammogram nonsense 7 or 8 years ago by reasoning and logic alone. People are sooooo conditioned. The last time I was in one of these rural health clinics I got into an arguement with a nurse over when the last time I had a mammogram. I was in there for something completely different and I told her I don't remember...maybe in 2009? She started that clicking her tongue thing and attempted to shame me in to going for one. I told her no...and she got mad at me. "Mad at me"!!!! Can you believe that??? THEY think we're all stupid....and the majority ARE.
So no. Your article does not make me sad....it makes me MAD at their audacity to wilfully kill us in horrible ways. Bah...makes me want to post this article every where....!!!!
