You're welcome, Osiris.  Thank YOU for the opportunity of talking about quantum metaphysics [].

vikram88,
I was thinking of the Alain Aspect experiment which demonstrated that two photons coming from the same quantum event are still entangled, meaning that they are coupled to each other, even though they have sped away from each other with the speed of light.  This was the decisive test of nonlocality.

Wouldn't the measurement on one particle mess up the measurement on the other because the two particles are entangled?

Hello Osiris,

You have posted an excellent question.  How does the behavior of others affect us, since we are all integral parts of the same whole?  The answer can be subdivided into three parts.  The first aspect concerns how closely we are related to the "transmitting" group.  If they and we belong to a relatively small "whole," such as a close-knit family or a circle of friends, then the effect of mutual influence is stronger than for a large whole, perhaps a nation or even all of humankind.  
The second aspect depends on the mental/spiritual intensity of the transmitting group.  Is their behavior backed up by a concerted conscious intent with deep inner conviction, or is it just a casual twist of behavior?
The third aspect concerns our own "vulnerability."  We always have free will.  This means that we are never powerless victims of mental/spiritual influences.  The key is the individual's mindset. If his belief system agrees with the transmitting group's message, then he will be open to their influence.  If, however, his beliefs run counter to the other group, then he will not be affected and may even adopt a conscious position against that group's influence.  And, if he doesn't have any relevant opinion, then he may inadvertently fall in line with others.
In other words, it is up to us how much we are insulated from other's influence.  This also points out how important it is for us to be conscious of our own beliefs.  The more conscious we are of what we believe, the more control we have over our destiny, the less we are subject to uncontrolled influences.

Graytraveller,

One important conclusion of quantum metaphysics is that you will experience whatever you focus your attention to.  Please, try not to focus on those scientists who are not yet ready to accept the truth that transcends their scientific understanding.  This only enhances your frustration and perception of conflict.  Instead, try to enjoy the many signs of progress towards understanding of multi-dimensional reality.  You may find that you even gain a deeper understanding of your own experiences.  My own awareness comes from an experience similar to OOB and my development of quantum metaphysics is based on it.  However, don't take my word for it.  Many scientists are now dedicated to breaking the "sound barrier" towards multi-dimensional reality.  I have researched libraries and the Internet for such efforts and I have recently linked a selection of relevant websites to my site, www.quantum-metaphysics.com.  Please, spread the word about these trailblazers and forget about the disbelievers.  As you read more about quantum metaphysics, you will find that there is no basic difference between Observer 2 and Observer 3 of your 08 July post [].

I just noticed that my website address is misspelled in the preceding text. The correct spelling is:

Hi Graytraveller,

I believe that my interpretation of your fallen tree Gedanken experiment is only possible based on the assumption that unseen realms/planes/dimensions Do exist.  This is what I meant by multi-dimensional reality and this is EXACTLY what quantum metaphysics is about.  You may find it worth your while to read my article "Revolution in Common Sense" in my website www.quantim-metaphysics.com. It explains in detail why the higher dimensions beyond our limited subset of three are very real indeed and how their reality is the basis of the life that we experience in 3-D.  I agree with you, Graytraveller, that quantum physicists are "missing the boat" by denying that their abstract multiple dimensions correspond to an invisible reality.  
I feel that we have an obligation to spread the word about our point of view, because this view leads directly and logically to the basic ancient wisdom that Adrian is talking about.  Humankind appears to have lost contact with this inner knowledge and is heading towards disaster unless enough individuals stand up and reclaim this wisdom.  I believe that this Forum and similar ones are very important by providing a platform for public discussion.  The scientific and technical aspects are very interesting and challenging, but it is their deeper implication of leading us back to the spiritual (= multi-dimensional) nature of cosmic reality that is so urgent.

Jo.

P.S. I'll address the second part of your 08 July post later.

Hello Adrian,

I assume that the concept of an all-permeating ether corresponds to the quantum metaphysics concept of multi-dimensional reality that is immanent in all phenomena.

Greetings!

Concerning Graytraveller's falling tree quantum physics has demonstrated that our act of observation "collapses" one specific reality out of an infinite number of probabilities.  The infinite probabilities exist potentially in what I call multi-dimensional reality.  We call an event not "real" if it may occur but has not occurred (yet). However, the possibility for such an event can be very real indeed.   If I drive down the opposite lane of a super highway, the possibility of an accident is very real indeed, even if it does not occur.  So we can postulate that an invisible reality exists "beyond" ours where all possible potential events exist as potentials, as probabilities.  This abstract reality beyond ours is for instance described by the quantum wave function for a subatomic event.  It tells us exactly the probability that a uranium atom will decay at any particular time, but it does not tell us when we will observe this event.  
Quantum Metaphysics postulates that probabilities of events in our world do exist "for real".  These probabilities exist in a reality that is transcendent to ours with many more dimensions than our three.  It is a different reality than our space/time environment, but it is very real in its own way.  

Coming back to Graytraveller's Gedanken experiment, a high probability existed for trees to fall.  However, only when someone's consciousness experiences a tree-fall, only then does this fall become a reality in that person's reality.  If there is no person's consciousness, then no observation occurs, and no noise exists in 3-D reality!  We only believe that the trees made noise when we see them on the ground, based on past experience, but without the observation, the noise was not made real in our reality.  Each one of us creates his own 3-D reality by observing his subset of a multi-dimensional reality of probabilities.  The fact that we all tend to make similar observations is because our individual consciousness-es [] are so similar.
 
Graytraveller asked, "if both trees fell in the forest and nobody was alive to hear them fall and only one tree fall was caught on tape then did either tree make a sound while falling?  If the answer is Yes, then which tree made the noise?"
My answer is, both trees would have made a noise if a consciousness had heard them.  However, only the one noise on the audiotape was made real in our 3-D world.  The other tree's noise existed potentially in multi-dimensional reality but was not made real in our world because nobody listened.  The first tree's noise was the one on tape and the only one made real through observation.  The lost hiker said so on tape.

Referring to Lasher's June 29 post, there wouldn't even be any woods except in the minds of critters that may be around.  It takes a consciousness that is limited to 3-D in order to "create" a 3-D reality out of the nonlocal multi-dimensional reality.

Hello again, Wisp.

Many of your questions in your two recent posts are profound indeed, and depending on whom you ask, you'll get widely different views.  Let's first clarify the difference between Quantum Physics and Quantum Metaphysics.  Quantum Physics is the science about subatomic physics taught in universities.  It deals mathematically in multiple dimensions but does not attach any "reality" to them other than their usefulness to obtain verifiable physical results.  Most physicists don't believe in a "real" world beyond the physical world.

Quantum Metaphysics is a term that I have coined to describe what I believe is an invisible multi-dimensional reality that transcends our 3-D physical world.  I refer to the quantum because its quaint behavior indicates to me that it straddles both our physical world and the transcendent reality beyond.  By now, other authors are using the term Quantum Metaphysics also

Dreams provide a symbolic glimpse of activities in our unconscious, which I believe resides in the transcendent multi-dimensional reality.  The two realities, multi-dimensional and 3-D, are not separated, because the 3-D is an inherent subset of the multi-D.  We are not directly aware of the multi-dimensional reality because our senses are made of only 3-dimensional stuff.  

Your subconscious is always active trying to scope out possible ways for you to evolve.  Even if you don't remember a dream, the corresponding activity of your subconscious is not lost and is useful to you if you listen to your inner Self.  Of course, you still want to use your rational judgment, but your hunches can alert you to circumstances that you might overlook otherwise.

To understand any specific dream, you want to identify the symbolic meaning of the images, events, and persons involved.  What do ducks or geese flying into the sky mean to you?  What kind of feeling does this image produce?  What does the word "sleeve" imply?  Does it mean a "conduit", or a path to reach out?  Let your intuition suggest answers.

I am no expert in dream interpretation.  I'd rather like to suggest that you read Jane Roberts' "The Nature of Personal Reality."  Quantum Metaphysics leads naturally to the conclusion that the universe is full of intelligent life beyond our awareness, and Jane Roberts was an excellent psychic who channeled many books from a transcendent entity who calls himself Seth.  In addition to the book mentioned, he has dictated two volumes of  "Dreams, "Evolution," and Value Fulfillment."  I personally trust the information from Seth more than contemporary scientific literature.

I am sure that even this long answer won't satisfy all your questions, Wisp, but keep asking.  I'll try to explain what Quantum Metaphysics can provide.

Best of luck!  Jo.

Hello Wisp,
Yours is a valid question on the subject of Quantum Metaphysics, but I am so tied up right now that I'll have to postpone my answer, sorry.  I don't think that I can give you a specific reading of your dream, but I can comment about the role of dreams in our lives and how you might be able to interpret them. – See you later.

Hello Everyone,

Referring to 13's post of June 18, let me try to remove the confusion between multiple universes and higher dimensions.  Using a metaphor, imagine a 3-D object such as a crystal.  It has multiple 2-D surface planes.  In fact, the 3-D space of the crystal contains an infinite number of potential 2-D planes with all possible orientations.  In this sense, the three-dimensional universe includes an infinite number of 2-D universes.  By the same token, a 4-D environment contains an infinite number of 3-D environments.  Our senses are made of 3-D material, so we cannot expect them to perceive 4-D reality.  But that's our problem and has nothing to do with how reality is.  There is no reason whatsoever to assume that total reality is limited to the 3-D limitation of our senses.  

Now, try to imagine that your senses were made of 2-D material (ignore the question whether this if feasible) and you lived on one of the crystal's surfaces.  You would experience only whatever occurs on this particular plane and you would be unaware of the other planes because they are in 3-D space, which is "transcendent" to your world.  I believe that this corresponds to how we perceive a 3-D world that is actually only one of infinite possible subsets of a multi-dimensional reality.  It makes a lot more sense, IMO, to assume one unified reality with many dimensions, of which we perceive only a subset, rather than many separate realities with only three dimensions each. (My June 13 post is based on this assumption).

When we talk about multi-dimensional space, we usually try to imagine our 3-D space with added dimensions.  Instead, I believe that our 3-D space is a construct in our minds that helps us to sort out the tremendous stream of multi-dimensional information that is all around us nonlocally.  Information itself is mental and independent of space.  It is like plotting the Dow Jones index on a 2-D surface while the information itself is "non-physical".

Yes, the article mentioned by Person gives an excellent description of how contemporary science is approaching a better understanding of the greater, "higher" reality.  We should understand, however, that the hologram is only a metaphor to describe certain aspects of higher reality, particularly the fact that each part contains information of the whole to which it belongs.  Other aspects of higher reality are not represented by the hologram.  I have discussed this subject in my book "Understanding the Grand Design" which is mentioned below.

Hello James,

Perhaps there is yet another interpretation of the double-slit experiment.  Suppose that the quantum is an object that has four dimensions rather than three.  Our senses can perceive only three dimensions and therefore see only one 3-D aspect of the quantum at a time.  To visualize this, we can think of a situation where the object has three only dimensions, say a tree, and our consciousness is limited to two dimensions, like a camera that creates 2-D pictures of  3-D objects.
We can simultaneously take a couple of pictures of the tree from different angles and get different images of the same tree.  If we would line up the two photo negatives on top of each other, they would interfere with each other, whereas each individual negative shows a clear, well defined picture of the tree.  For the double slit experiment, we can ratchet everything up again by one dimension. In other words, we make two 3-D observations of the same 4-D object from different perspectives and get an interference pattern while any single observation shows clearly one single aspect.  I believe that the many-world interpretation of quantum physics is just that, the appearance of many different aspects of one and the same multi-dimensional reality.
Greetings!

Thank you for the plug, Nick [].

Hi, I am "the new kid on the block". Adrian was so nice to introduce me, my website www.quantum-metaphysics.com and my book "Understanding the Grand Design". I believe that this Heisenberg uncertainty principle discussion goes right to the heart of how we view reality. Our scientists tend to view reality as if our material world of particles and waves is the "real reality" and the "behind-the-scene" effects of nonlocality and probabilities are some mysterious part of it.  I postulate that it is the other way around, that the "real reality" is a multi-dimensional environment, an environment with more than three, perhaps infinite dimensions. Our senses cannot perceive this reality because they are limited to three dimensions.  It is like listening to a symphony when we can hear only three tones. Once we adopt this point of view, the seemingly mysterious riddles such as the double-slit experiment, the nonlocal interconnection of entangled particles, and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle become quite plausible.  That's what my website and my book are about.

Thank you very much, Adrian, for creating this forum and for referencing my website and my book.  Both are dedicated to helping others become acquainted with the Grand Reality of which our physical 3-D world is but a small part.  As you pointed out in e-mails to me, Adrian, this knowledge has been available to humankind for millennia in restricted form.  Now, humanity is entering a new evolutionary phase, and modern science is at the threshold of rediscovering this advanced knowledge.  I'll do my best to explain my own understanding of this process in this forum.
  Joachim "Jo" Wolf.
