Scientific Explanations For Remote Viewing

Eighteenth and nineteenth century physical science had completed andembellished the "golden age of a mechanistic and deterministic modelsof the universe" where the universe and its constituents are ruled byrigid interactive forces that can be measured, phenomena that can bepredicted using mathematical tools, and where the universe or anysystem operating within it is made of the sum of its parts.

Lightwas thought to be an electromagnetic wave vibrating in an undetected,and later experimentally disproved media: "the ether", at certain ratesof vibration that would define its color. It was part of theelectromagnetic wave spectrum that allowed one to perceive anelectromagnetic wave as heat, light , radio waves, or otherelectromagnetic radiations depending on the frequency of itsvibrations. This spectrum had been well-defined by the equations of theEnglish physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1864.

Man's biology wasreduced to a mechanical system albeit of extreme complexity, andthought was perceived to be but an epiphenomenon of the mechanicalbrain.

All this was very hygienic, logical, and comforting. Itallowed to view the so-called invisible world of spiritual forces orentities as a personal unproven hypothesis, and permitted thejustification of atheistic concept to be scientifically sound.Basically it allowed for purely atheistic politico-philosophies alikecommunism to find a sympathetic resonance within the "intelligentsia"and the masses.

It also gave a great mechanistic impetus andapproach to the fields of biology, microbiology, psychology,neurobiology, and the allopathic technical mechanistic approach to thehealth sciences. Technology was "king" and the understanding ofinteractions between well-defined separated systems would bring thepossible conquest of disturbances and imperfections in the "machinery"of biological entities.

Man having created a new religion called"science", which revered himself and his intellect, had the perceptionof having attained a Godlike control over nature.

By the end of19th century the ultraviolet catastrophe - as it came to be known - putthis whole hygienic view of the world in question, and the theory of"quanta" of Max Planck was introduced in 1900. The German physicist MaxPlanck introduced the notion of packets of energy that he called"quanta" in order to explain why the wavelength (color) of theradiation given off by heated objects did not rise in a continuousmanner but in discontinuous spurts from value to value as they grewhotter. Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who was to become later one of thefathers of the "Manhattan Project" that developed the first US A-bombduring WWII, used in 1913 the theory of "quanta" of energy in order toprove that the whole world of atoms was full of "quantum" jumps. Anelectron could jump from one level of energy (so-called orbit) toanother without appearing in-between these states. Discontinuity hadbeen introduced in our equation of the universe!

In 1905 AlbertEinstein defined light as made of quanta of energy or particles that hecoined "photons" in his famous paper explaining the photoelectriceffect for which he received a Nobel prize in 1923. He neverthelessacknowledged that light could also be defined as a wave, depending onthe mode of observation used in a chosen experiment, and theparticle/wave duality was introduced in our attempts to grasp themysteries of nature.

The new physics of the beginnings of thetwentieth century gave a mortal blow to the deterministic principles ofthe old school of thought. Time and space became relative notionsaccording to the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein. Quantumphysics stated that all particles of matter could be viewed either asmaterial bodies or as waves. It allowed for one electron (or any otherparticle) to be in two locations at once (double slit experiment), andproved that one could not predict the next location of a particle byknowing its present one.

In the strange world of quantum physics,particles dematerialized themselves into waves (such as in transistors)and rematerialized themselves later into particles. This depended onthe type of experiment they were subjected to, and most importantly:the choice made by a conscious observer as to how he or she would viewthese particles.

To most theorists, the phenomena of natureexisted only as determined states as a conscious observer witnessedthem, either directly, or through the artifacts of a measuring device.Quantum mechanics was born, and with it our view of reality would beforever changed.

In order to comprehend events in the phenomenalworld, one needed to introduce a major variable that had until thenbeen ignored: The consciousness (self reflective thought) of theobserver. Without the perception of a material world by a consciousentity, there were great doubts as to the existence of that materialreality independently of its observation.

In other words we makea potential reality manifest itself by our choices, even retroactivelythrough time and immediately across the perceived infinite space, asthe two experiments mentioned hereafter have proven, to the surprise ofmost physicists. Or, in other words, volition and free will operateoutside the confines of time/space, and our impression of makingchoices is but a delayed awareness of events that higher levels of ourminds have already made for us and therefore project to our awareness(ego) as a holographic packet of sensory information, post facto. Weare therefore, at a higher level, the maker (subject) of our realityprojected to one's self (object) within the web of probabilities of thequantum world that we "materialize" for both the subject and the objectthat are but two mirrors of one same reality: Consciousness, defined asself -reflective awareness.

Very advanced "remote viewers" knowat which points volition is part of the higher levels of one's self andat which points it is made available to the lower (conscious level), asthe quantum self or higher self merges with the lower self (ego).

Ourcourses attempts to allow the conscious part (reactive sensoryapparatus operating as intellect) and the much higher vibratory mind(deep subconscious level) to merge with each other in awareness inorder to allow a human individual to be more in control of one'sreality and probable future. At the level of the higher mind time/spaceis instantly bridged. "Remote Viewing" and especially "RemoteInfluencing" allows one to connect to that level.

Mr. O'Donnellonly mentions quantum physics in order to allow for the comforting viewof reality of most individuals to be shattered and at the very leastquestioned. Each one is to find his or her own truth, using eventuallyhis or her own path. The course is only meant as a guide to a newworld, an opening to a new way of viewing and experiencing reality.

In1982 at the Institute of Applied Physics and Theoretical Optics at theUniversity of Paris, France, the team of physicists composed of AlainAspect, Jean Dalibard and Gerard Roger made what may prove to be thegreatest scientific discovery of this century. They provedexperimentally that the world is non-local or non-separable. This isequivalent to saying that space, as we perceive it to be, does notexist, but is an illusion of our senses. Projected by whom? This is thebig question that science tries to answer.

In the same field ofquantum theory, time is not only relative but one can experimentallychange the past, as the delayed choice experiment, carried out byscientists in the 80's at the University of Maryland and the Universityof Munich has proven.

Although this all seems to belong to therealm of science-fiction, it is a reality, albeit hard to accept, forall the minds that dwell in the world of the quanta: a world full ofseemingly contradictions, surprises, and a certain sense of humor.

Allmodern disciplines are nowadays affected by it, short maybe of modernbiology, neurobiology and surprisingly psychology that are stillembracing a mechanistic view of thought and have not, as yet, been ableto define it.

Quantum physics gave us the invention of the atomicbomb, the transistor, the computer chip, laser and devices using laserlight as a conduct for information, Josephson junctions insupercomputers, superconductors etc.

You should never doubt yournatural-born ability to operate at such a high vibratory level ofthought. This ability has been proven since antiquity, and is stillutilized successfully by highly secretive intelligence units belongingto the major world powers.

This is one case where a dose ofskepticism in the field of thought orientation and exploration isunhealthy, and the fear of ridicule even more so. You have to becomeopen-minded, as a child is. All major shifts in scientific thought haveincurred the ire of the static-minded old Praetorian Guard of proveninadequate sclerotic systems that are beginning to hit too many wallsloaded with points of singularity.

The methods taught in ourcourses are probably part of the dawn of a new paradigm shift inscientific thinking that will revolutionize and change the "oldclassical scientific concepts" of the late 19th century that still rulefor most of us our interpretation of our perceived material reality.This will have major implications in the natural and health sciences,the biological perceptions and their assumed correlations, all otherphenomenal science, and the understanding of what the mind is.

Ifwe are in the process of constantly creating our reality by thinkingabout it in an individualized and global manner, and that sciencereflects but a snapshot of our attempt at understanding our Creation, amajor shift in our thought- perception will induce totally differentways at experiencing the phenomenal world and controlling it to ourdesires.

All aspects of our lives in this new Millennium will, most likely, be profoundly transformed by it.

Theintroduction of consciousness as a major factor in the equation ofreality by modern quantum physics is at the core of one of the majorparadox of so-called psychic research. According to quantum physics,the thought of the observer has an influence upon the result of anexperiment. Therefore, if we are co-creator of our reality by merethought, the natural imbued skepticism of many scientists and theirmethodologies introduce a negative bias in the results that they wouldobtain in thought experiment such as "remote viewing" etc.

Inother words, in order to achieve 100% success at proving the efficacyof "remote viewing or influencing " one would need to deal withscientists and tests subjects that are of the firm belief of the easyachievement of such mental feats, which would automatically be called abias experimental protocol by the skeptical scientific community. Thatis why the best results at remote viewing were always achieved withinintelligence and military secret units that pragmatically only caredabout bridging time and space effectively using mental technologies,and were not the least concerned about peer recognition and the fear ofbeing ridiculed.
