An amazing truth occurs to those known as quantum physicists, in that nature’s invisible energy: photons, electrons and atoms move through space in waves, just the way that we would visualize a wave in the ocean. They all move that way until someone observes them. But when someone watches, the wave collapses and a particle, the smallest bit of matter, appears to pop out of nothing. Only when the electron or photon is observed does this occur. If no one is watching the wave form exists, until someone looks and then the particle exists. Physicist John Wheeler states that it is only the presence of conscious observers in the form of ourselves that have collapsed the wave function and made the universe exist. Without the observer there can be nothing. The collapse of the wave function happens to atoms, electrons and photons, the smallest building blocks of matter. Within us the wave function of atoms, electrons and photons collapses whenever we watch, observe or meditate. Science says that the electron waves on earth collapse because the entire universe is looking. Stephen Hawking then makes the startling statement that there must actually be something outside the universe to look at the universe which collapses its wave functions. You look at yourself, the universe looks at you, - but who is looking at the universe?
In 1957 at Long Island’s Brookhaven National Laboratory what could be the most unhearalded event of the previous century occurred. Two Chinese Nobel Prize physicists, Tsung Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yong together with their nuclear physicist partner, Madame Chien-Shiung Wu, proved that consciousness exists in matter. This exceptional team proved that radioactive cobalt can distinguish left from right. In the emission of its electrons the cobalt appears to be able to make a choice between which direction it will take. The conclusion suggests that there may well be a universal mind pervading all sub-atomic particles from deep within all matter.
We are not all here by chance and there is a magnificent intelligence overseeing and interpenetrating all of existence.
We have also learned that when scientists perform experiments at the microcosmic level, their thoughts and presence in the lab influence the experiment. If they intended a positive result to the experiment and were present during it, this is the result they achieved. When they did the exact experiment again, and wished for a negative result, the result was negative. Thus it seems that awareness (consciousness) directs thought and thought directs life-energy. Today our theoretical physicists all believe that the universe is both conscious and supremely intelligent and that our thoughts and observations can influence its unfolding. We are not all here by chance and there is a magnificent intelligence overseeing and interpenetrating all of existence.
Theorists and scientists also suggest that the entire cosmos is an integrated system that is deeply and totally unified in some mysterious way. Immense levels of energy flow constantly through the universe and continuously regenerate it. As physicist Brian Swimme describes it, “The universe emerges out of an all-nourishing abyss not only 15 billion years ago, but in every moment.” Thus everything in the universe is a flowing movement that arises with everything else, moment by moment, in a process of continual regeneration. What’s more, the cosmos itself may be a hologram, such that each part of the flow as it continually recreates itself, contains in miniature the whole expanding picture. If the cosmos is a hologram, and most contemporary scientists now think that it is, all is within all - the totality is present within each part and within each part fully connected to the whole.
