partner, even though distant, immediately developed the same pattern of EEG
brain function (Standish, Kozak, Johnson, & Richards, 2004).
A gifted faith healer might be considered, in quantum terms, to be an observer
who routinely collapses space-time possibilities into the probability of healing.
A prayer is an intention that might also collapse the swarm of possibilities
present in the possibility wave in the direction of a certain probability.
In
The Intention Experiment,
her book about large international experiments
that gauge the effect of human intention on physical matter, Lynne McTaggart
states that the observer effect implies that “living consciousness is somehow
central to this process of transforming the unconstructed quantum world into
something resembling everyday reality,” and that “reality is not fixed, but fluid,
and hence possibly open to influence” (McTaggart, 2007). According to Bill
Bengston, “This suggests that human consciousness, individually and
collectively, produces what we call ‘reality’” (Bengston, 2010).
Robert Hoss, an expert on the neuroscience of extrasensory phenomena such
as near-death experiences and precognitive dreams, asks a provocative question:
If it is only the act of observation that is collapsing the waves of energy into the
particles of matter that make up the world around us,
who or what is doing the
observing?
Who is the grand observer catalyzing the creation of all the matter in
the physical world? Hoss believes it is consciousness: the great nonlocal
consciousness of the universe itself. That is, the universe itself is consciousness,
continually creating matter out of mind (Hoss, 2016).
This view has increasing support from mainstream scientists. Gregory Matloff
is a veteran physicist at the New York City College of Technology. He argues
that our individual local minds may be linked to the nonlocal mind of the cosmos
through a “proto-consciousness field” that extends through all of space. In this
model, the minds of stars might be controlling their orbital journeys through
matter. The entire universe may be self-aware. His views are shared by many
others (Powell, 2017).
When we as human beings release the fixation our local minds have on local
reality and instead align our local consciousness with the nonlocal consciousness
of the universe, we bring local mind into coherence with nonlocal mind. In this
coherent state, what we create with local mind is a reflection of nonlocal mind.
We’re no longer limited by our old, conditioned thinking, so we no longer create
the same present-day reality out of the stale experiences of our past.
Instead, we think outside the box. We see possibilities we were blind to when
trapped in local mind. We explore the potential of our lives found in the
expansive awareness of nonlocal mind. We perceive ways in which the world
can change that we simply don’t see when stuck in a noncoherent personal
reality field. The observer effect demonstrates that reality is plastic. Bringing the
power of coherent mind to our experience, our perception creates events that are
extraordinary.
In my own life, I find it easy to get sucked into the conventional view that
“facts are facts” and that the outside world just is the way it is. To correct this
tendency, I practice framing my experiences, good or bad, in ways that support
my goals. When I’m acting with awareness, I use my mind to create and
maintain a “reality field” that is congruent with what I want.
