TOPIC: Quantum effects in the macrocosmic world.
DATE:  1 September 1992   (v 1.1)

It is a common misconception in the physics community that quantum effects 
only prevail at the sub-atomic level, and that Newtonian laws prevail in the 
macrocosmic level of existence. WRONG.  This is like saying that there is 
something essentially different about dollars and pennies, because dollars 
are made of paper and pennies are made of metal.  But a hundred pennies 
still compose a dollar in an underlying if not literal sense.  By the same 
token, quantum effects can make themselves apparent in the macrocosmic 
world. You just have to know where to look and, more importantly, 
how to reconceptualize the macrocosmic world.

First, let's define what is meant by quantum effects.  In quantum mechanics 
the observation of matter defines its existence.  That is, an electron does 
not exist as an independently defined particle prior to an observation of it.  
Before we look for an electron it exists only as the possibility of an 
electron, defined as an "electron cloud" surrounding the nucleus. It is 
in fact nothing more than a quantum wave form which collapses into a 
particle once an observation is made.  This is a typical quantum effect.

Similarly, light behaves as a wave and as a particle (a photon) depending
on the means we use to observe it.

But at the level of existence to which we are all accustomed things appear 
the way they are and seem utterly unchangeable.  After all, if you leave your 
home all the things in it don't dematerialize because you're not there to 
observe them, nor can you choose to make a cat into a dog
just because you wish to observe it is a dog.  In other words, objects which
can be observed with the unaided eye appear to be consistent at all times.

WHY?  How is it possible that, at the subatomic level reality is 
malleable to an almost unbelievable degree (and I've only scratched the 
surface here -- those familiar with quantum theory know that time 
can run backwards and forwards and that information can travel 
faster-than-light) and yet we all participate in a consensual reality
base in real time?  

ANSWER: Until now, a crucial component has been missing in our 
model of what reality is.  Each of us has an individual consciousness.
But we exist against a ground which is known as REFERENT 
CONSCIOUSNESS.  This is an admittedly radical new definition of 
the Godhead, but bare with me.

Many -- including some world-renown scientists -- conceptualize The 
Creator as the Being who set the universe in motion, then just sat
back and watched it as a child would watch a spinning toy.  Some 
even question the need for a Creator at all, postulating a universe which
came into existence spontaneously.  But we need a Creator to recreate
the universe nano-second by nano-second, a universal observer who 
watches each and every atom of matter everywhere at all times.  
Referent Consciousness sees all, which is what establishes the reality
of mass and energy for each of us.  

With me so far?  Now the question is, if an individual physicist,
working in his individual lab can create an individual sub-atomic
particle by observation, what can referent consciousness do?
Answer: PLENTY.  Which brings us to the topic of manifestations.
  
For those of you wishing to participate in exercise one: the volitionally-
induced movement of very low mass objects in very low density space, the
following texts are assigned reading:
The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav
Chaos by James Gleick
Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Mind and Matter by F. David Peat.
The I Ching ( the Princeton University Press Edition ONLY) by Wilhelm.
