Hello Jason,

Thank you for alerting me to your lucid dream message.  Your experience is indeed intriguing.  I have no expertise in lucid dreaming, but I can comment from a Quantum Metaphysics point of view.  According to QM and many trustworthy channeled messages, we create our own reality through the contents of our mind, with what we focus on and what we believe.  This goes for our dream reality as well as our daytime experiences.  The difference between these two is that our dream experiences give us glimpses of untold probabilities, of potential physical experiences, whereas our daytime consciousness is aware of only one particular selection from these many possibilities.  In QM, the world of possibilities beyond our three-dimensional physical experiences is called "multi-dimensional".

To use a somewhat simplistic metaphor, the multi-dimensional world is like a giant department store with an overwhelming choice of possible events. We pick only a few of those events and make them "real" in our 3-D environment.  This selection occurs usually unconsciously and is determined by your mindset, which attracts those events that "resonate" with it.  In a dream, you pay attention to some possible selections before we make our choice.

Clearly, the 4" quantum mechanics book caught your fancy and it is up to you whether you want to pursue this subject and pull it into your physical life eventually, in this incarnation or later.  It is a question of what you want to do with your life.  Does the pursuit of advanced quantum mechanic technology fit into your long-term goal?  Or do you want to become a channeler of advanced quantum mechanic information?  In each case, you would have to be quite knowledgeable in this field to be successful and/or to be accepted.

You have asked for my opinion, Jason, but without knowing you, I can only tell you how I personally would react, which may not be applicable to your situation.  I believe that humankind's big problem now is that its spiritual development lags its technological development.  Advanced technology poses a certain danger because humanity lacks the spiritual maturity to use it without endangering its own survival.  I personally prefer to focus on multi-dimensional (spiritual) understanding.  I am all for advanced technology (I spent my career on it), but I wonder whether it is a good idea to push it with all means.  Only your "heart" can tell you whether this is right for you.  For questions of this nature, I like to use a very simple and effective criterion suggested in Tom & Linda Carpenter's channeled book, Dialogue on Awakening: Communication with Jesus.  It advises to choose whatever brings you peace, period.  To quote:

The reason to choose peace is that it is not of the illusion.  It is a reflection of Reality.  Choices made that do not bring you peace validate the illusion and keep your attention on it.

In other words, when you choose peace, you choose the path to spiritual Awakening.

My best wishes, and happy dreaming [] !

Hi Marcus,

Your experiences may well indicate your spiritual Awakening, where you ultimately experience your union with All-That-Is.  

Congratulations!
Jo

That's quite a different story, Tisha.  Your first plea sounded like you were in deep trouble, but apparently you have matters well under control.  Still, good luck!

Jo

Hello Tischa,

I would suggest that you contact your future employer and ask for more detailed information about your planned assignment.  You might want to hint that you have not applied your math knowledge for quite some time and that you want to brush up on it to prepare for your job.  Once you have this information, you can still decide whether you want to go through with this job.  No one would blame you for being honest.  

The kind of math you are talking about takes years to absorb.  Simple memorizing wouldn't do.  Yet, with your genius IQ plus some "astral help", you could probably pull it off.  You have all the right "connections" here [:X].  First priority is to overcome your fear.  One way to do this is to realize that even the worst possible outcome would not be the "end of the world".  Face this and know that you can handle it somehow.  This calms you down enough to use the psychic tools available to us.  

If you have experience with the pendulum, you can receive appropriate advice.  You may want to use Seth's "point of power", with which you can create the future that you desire.   If you are not familiar with it, you could blow $16.95 and read about it in my book Understanding the Grand Design: Spiritual Reality's Inner Logic (see my website www.quantum-metaphysics.com, and I don't say this to peddle my book [] ).  Who knows, perhaps your situation is a welcome challenge to overcome seeming insurmountable odds through the spiritual means that are now available to us.

I wish you lots of luck, Tischa!

Jo.

Thank you for your reply, Nick.  Your passage from the Kybalion is a good description of how I imagine the Great Reality.  An interesting aspect of this view is that it seems to oppose common sense.  We tend to think that the most "solid" is also the most real.  In court proceedings, the most  "solid evidence" is physical evidence, and nearly everyone thinks that rocks are more real than mental subjects.  Yet, on the scale of cosmic realities, the "grossest matter" is the most illusory one and therefore the least real.  

Also, in spite of the apparent divisions between reality levels, no divisions and separations exist, as viewed from the highest, most real, level of Reality.  This seeming contradiction is caused by the limitations in consciousness experienced by the inhabitants of the lower levels.  The smaller the scope of an individual's consciousness, the more separated and divided its world appears, simply because it can perceive only a limited subset of the Whole and cannot experience the interconnectedness of everything.

Therefore, our advancement up the scale towards THE ALL is not a matter of overcoming separation.  (Nothing is separated from form the Whole of THE ALL, or THE ALL would not be Whole.)  Rather it is the Awakening to the fact that we are already ONE, you, me, the Pleiades, Everyone and Everything [].

Warm Greetings!
Jo

Excellent comments, Adrian!  When we talk about expansion and contraction of the universe, we mean our physical, 3-D universe.  That's what astronomers are talking about.  However, viewed from the higher, spiritual reality, space and time do not exist and are "illusions".  Therefore, the Big Bang and the Big Crunch are not occurring at the level of "All-Entity", as I call the transcendent Whole of All-That-Is.  However, according to Quantum Metaphysics and many channeled sources, The Whole and its parts are One.  The difference is only in the point of view.  Therefore, the Whole experiences whatever its parts experience.  In fact, this appears to be the "purpose" of all creation, that the Whole/All-Entity/God experiences Its own potential through experiences within Its creations.  This does not mean that the root essence of The Whole changes, which we can only vaguely describe as the Union of Love, Peace, Joy, Energy, Life, etc. However, The Whole does change "internally" continuously as an expression of life.  Without this constant change, "God" would be dead.

Warm Greetings!
Jo.

Some scientific theories, as well as channeled messges, say exactly that: the universe is "breathing" in and out, eventually returning back to the "Big Crunch".

Right, beavis, that's why I gave T_Kman0610 the website reference to make up his own mind.

Hello T_Kman0610,

Some very smart people have spent a lifetime to study your question about life after death.  One good example is Victor Zammit.  He is a lawyer and claims that he has enough evidence of life after death that he could win his case in any legal court.  You may want to visit his website www.victorzammit.com.

Greetings!
Jo.

I would say that "real" as something that exists.  By this definition, even a dream is real, or an illusion, because if I have an illusion, it does exist as such, if only in my mind.  This means that there are different levels of reality, an illusion being the most fleeting one.  On the other end of the "reality-spectrum", the "most real" reality is whatever is the basis of everything.  I believe that this basis is the transcendent, unifying Whole of All that Is, which I call "All-Entity" because the prevailing concepts of God tend to be inadequate.

Hello shaman,

Our problem with matter/energy duality is due to our limited view of reality, IMO.  We have the same problem with the Einstein/Minkowski 4-dimensional spacetime and with body/mind.  Our minds are limited to 3D thinking whereas reality is unlimited.  It's like trying to enjoy a symphony when we can hear only three notes.  Think, for instance, of the transcendent dimensions discussed in this Forum.  
There is a way to overcome this problem, however, and I have no difficulty visualizing the particle/wave situation.  For every duality, there is a common, unifying whole.  It's the old Hegel thesis/antithesis/synthesis idea, or the philosophical whole-versus-parts problem.  If we can't see the synthesis/whole, it is not because it does not exist but our perception is impaired, usually because of our limited concepts of reality. In my www.quantum-metaphysics.com website I have explained this with the help of Abbott's "Flatland" 2-D creatures who cannot visualize our 3-D environment.  Maybe you want to have a look (click [Quantum Metaphysics] button).  Once you understand the holistic relationship between a whole and its parts, you can enjoy the "Grand Design" of Everything, sort of a Grand Unified Theory [].

Hello Soulfire,

Please read Neale D. Walsch's book, "The New Revelations, A Conversation With God."  It provides an eloquent and exhaustive treatment of your own argument concerning the claimed infallibility of Holy Scriptures.  It concludes with clear logic how the misinterpretations of "God's Word" are the root cause of humankind's problems, and that only a new understanding of spiritual reality can solve the present deadlock in human affairs.  In fact, it warns us that human evolution may come to an end unless we have the courage to make drastic changes in our belief systems.  

Love!  Jo.

Hello T_Kman0610,

I have read a number of Jane Roberts' books and I believe that Seth is genuine.  His later books, such as his Dream books, are difficult to understand unless you have read his first ones, "Seth Speaks" and "The Nature of Personal Reality" that Nick mentioned.  I would recommend to read at least the latter.  It is a good introduction to "multi-dimensional" reality.

Good luck!
Jo.

Thank you, Mark.  Re. other reading (other than my own book []), here are some that I like:

Discussions of modern physics:
John Gribbin,  "In Search of Schroedinger's Cat, Schroedinger's Kittens."
Amit Goswami's books, for instance, "The Self-Aware Universe."

About multi-dimensional/spiritual communication:
Jon Klimo, "Channeling, Investigation on Receiving Information From Paranormal Sources."

Discussion of multi-dimensional reality (channeled):
Jane Roberts, "The Nature of Personal Reality" and other Seth books.

About spiritual Awakening (channeled):
Tom & Linda Carpenter, "Dialogue on Awakening, Communion With Jesus."
Bartholomew / Mary-Margaret Moore, "I Come as a Brother, A Remembrance of Illusions."

About enlightened living (channeled):
Neale D. Walsch,  "Conversations With God, an uncommon dialogue."  Others.

I have listed more channeled books because they describe the higher reality that I experienced better than scientifically based books.  The key is to change one's point of view.  Science is still based on the assumption that everything is based on physical reality, whereas all reality is based on the "Whole", that is the transcendent union of all that is.  It is possible to understand the relationship between the 'whole' and its 'parts', whereupon everything falls in place beautifully – at least is did for me.

Best wishes!
Jo.

Yes, Tab, but most scientists do not yet accept this viewpoint.  As Max Planck, who initiated quantum physics, said:
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

Jo.

Hello Mark,

thanks for your comments.  As I understand it, no holographic universe theory exists in the strict sense of the term.  In other words, scientists have not come up with a scientific theory based on the holograph metaphor.  As far as I know, there is only a general comparison of quantum phenomena with certain aspects of the hologram, mainly its capability to reproduce images of a whole scene from only parts of the hologram.  This means that the whole scene is imbedded in each individual part of the hologram.  
This is indeed representative of universal reality, because the "nonlocal" whole of the universe is immanent in each part.  Immanent means inside but transcendent, like your soul is inside in but transcendent of yourself.

Now, to clarify what I said before, or at least what I meant to say, the hologram is only a metaphor, yet I agree with most ideas expressed loosely under what is called  "holographic theory".  These ideas never came together as a coherent scientific theory and the apparent paradoxes of quantum physics are still not fully understood.

Instead of the word "theory", I prefer "paradigm", which Ken Wilber used in his book, "The Holographic Paradigm and Other Paradoxes".  Wilber is one of the foremost living philosophers.  In the mid-80s, he coordinated contributions from many recognized experts, and here is his conclusion about the holographic paradigm, in his own words:
"It is a bad model, but I'm not sure it's even a good metaphor.  The holographic paradigm is a good metaphor for pantheism . . ., but not for the reality described by the perennial philosophy".
Wilber's perennial philosophy is a consensus-type unification of world religions and philosophies.  It just so happens that quantum metaphysics as described in my book comes independently to the same conclusions, using "Holistic Logic" supported by quantum phenomena and relativity theory.  It also agrees with Carlos Castaneda.

Greetings!

GTP, other theories explain paranormal events as well, perhaps even better.  The metaphor of the holograph is helpful but does not explain all aspects of higher reality.  I believe that the Holistic Logic of Quantum Metaphysics does, as explained in my book "Understanding the Grand Design: Spiritual Reality's Inner Logic".

Yes, beavis, I agree that none of our human concepts, such as "dimensions," can explain the totality of "what's really there".  Only a total spiritual Awakening can do this, and such experience cannot be communicated.  Nevertheless, I believe that we will always try to explain reality because we want to understand it.  Therefore I think that we need concepts such as "dimensions" to communicate how we experience our environment, even though this environment is only a small part of the Whole Reality.

Thanks a lot, Osiris, we had a great time!
Greetings!
Jo.

It all depends on the point of view.  Looking down from the highest "Whole" of the universe, where everything is united in one undivided "nonlocal" Entity, no dimensions exist.  This is because no separations exist at that level. Everything and everyone is included in the One, so much so that distinctions of different dimensions make no sense – at that level.  This is why religions talk about God's unconditional Love, because nothing and no one is excluded or "discriminated".  

However, we perceive only a rather small portion of total reality.  Humankind has settled into a pattern of distinguishing four basic environmental dimensions, 3 space and one time.  However this system ignores already vast regions of mental activity.  Clearly, "thought" is a dimension that transcends our 3-D + time.  Nobody can claim that thought does not exist, but humankind is not calling it a 4th dimension of our environment.  Beyond thought, total reality has untold additional aspects that are still unknown to most of us, and it is impossible to agree on a "standard nomenclature" for the invisible aspects of reality, and philosophers don't agree on a system.
Every time we drop a major misconception of total reality, we perceive a "new dimension".  In other words, the concept of dimensions is a human invention that helps us cope with the immensity of reality, but ultimate reality has no dimensions, which is synonymous with "infinite" dimensions if we want to hang on to the concept of dimensions.

vikram88, I am not aware of an entanglement demonstration of the Alain Aspect type for other subatomic particles.  However, the principle of nonlocality is generally accepted in quantum physics.  Even the double slit experiment implies that the electron can exist at more than one place simultaneously, otherwise it wouldn't interfere with itself.  Quantum METAphysics assumes that our 3-D environment is a subset of a higher, multi-dimensional reality where the quantum events occur.  Our view of these events with our limited 3D range can create the illusion of separation where none exists in 4D or higher.
David Bohm, the outstanding quantum physicist of his time, compared this situation with observing a fish in a tank with two TV cameras from different directions. We see the two different TV images in 2D but they come from the same 3D object.  Thus our observed separation is only an illusion.
