The way in
which energy behaves depends
on what the observer expects to see.
Physicist Max
Planck found that photons (units of light energy) acted as
either particles or as waves, depending on the experimenter's
intent. When a photon is placed in an experiment designed to
show that it acts as a wave, it will. And when the photon is
placed in an experiment designed to show that it acts as a
particle, it stops acting like a wave and starts acting like a
particle. In either case, Planck's intent did not simply
interfere with the energy's movement; instead it dominated what
the energy "chose" to do.
Planck's findings
have enormous implications. Since he showed that the behavior of
energy is influenced by the intent of the observer, the
implication is that you can intentionally impact how your
creative energy acts. If you intend to see certain events, your
creative energy will transform itself into those events. Or as
Wayne Dyer titled one of his books, You'll
See It When You Believe It.
In another
experiment, but in the field of psychology, Joseph Banks Rhine
found that intention influences matter. His research, which took
place in the Parapsychology Laboratory of North Carolina's Duke
University, focused on the ability of a person to
"will" the outcome of a dice roll. Through his
extensive and thorough research, Rhine determined that a
definite relationship exists beyond the margin of chance between
the intention of the person casting the dice and the outcome of
the roll. What could explain Rhine's findings? Could the dice's
energy have been influenced by the intention of the person
tossing the dice? Hypothetically, yes. Like Planck's photons,
Rhine's dice behaved as if influenced by the intent of their
observer.
In everyday terms
this means that, if you want to have control over what your
energy creates, you must maintain awareness of your thoughts and
intentions. If you expect to see yourself cheated, your energy
will transform itself to create experiences in which you are
cheated. Likewise, if you expect to see yourself winning, your
energy will transform itself to create winning experiences.
Still, one has to wonder: How does your energy know what to do?
How does it know what you think? Again, we return to quantum
physics.
Energy
Communicates
Particles of light energy
process information and communicate with each other.
Further
experimentation in quantum physics makes it clearer that photons
somehow process information and therefore appear to have
awareness. In Schrodinger's
Kittens and the Search for Reality, John Gribbin writes
of an experiment which showed that when a flow of photons faced
a two-slit passageway, the photons acted wave-like, heading for
both entrances. When the experimenter suddenly decreased the
passageway to one slit, the photon flow became particle-like
with the photons flowing in a bee-line straight toward the
single slit. Because no photons attempted to enter the missing
slit, physicists were left with the question: How did the
photons "know" that there was only one slit through
which to travel?
While physicists
continue to grapple with the implications of this experiment,
the evidence points to the phenomenon that photons have some
type of awareness that allows them to "know" what to
do. Consequently it can be assumed (though it has yet to be
explained how or why) that awareness and "knowingness"
exist at the energy level.
In addition, an
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (also known as EPR) thought
experiment addressed the hypothesis that subatomic particles
actually communicate with each other. They knew that a
two-particle system of zero spin behaves in a certain way: when
set in motion (traveling at the speed of light), one particle
always spins in the polar opposite direction from its mate.
Therefore, if particle A is spinning upward, particle B will
spin downward. If A spins to the left, B will spin to the right.
The EPR experiment
eventually showed that if, after the particles are set in
motion, the experimenter magnetically changes the direction of
one particle, its mate would also change its direction. Thus, if
A is initially moving to the right at the speed of light and
spinning on an upward axis, B will be moving to the left at the
speed of light and spinning on a downward axis. When the
experimenter magnetically distorts A's axis so that it spins to
the left, B instantly changes its axis so that it spins to the
right, even though the particles are going in opposite
directions at the speed of light.
How does B know
what is happening to A? While it may seem unfathomable,
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen's experiment illustrates that
energy particles communicate with each other in an
indiscernible, unrecognizable way.
Both these
experiments demonstrate that units of energy have a type of
awareness and that they "communicate" with each other,
though perhaps not in the same ways humans or other living
things are aware and communicate. (Humans, for example, process
thought through their brains, which energy particles apparently
do not have.) These experiments imply that our energy too has
awareness and can communicate; our energy can "know"
what we want and can communicate this to the energy outside of
ourselves.
