Hello all,
After more than a year of research into parapsychology (the study of psi) I would like to put down a theory which many contemporary researchers agree could be a feasible explanation for psi. (Some of this is copied and pasted from a former post.)
First, I admit that, comparatively to telepathy, precognition, micro-pk, clairvoyance, and field consciousness, science has collected relatively little evidence for macro-pk. However, regarding other forms of psi, it is pretty well established that effects occur independent of distance or any form of material shielding. Through methods like electromagnetic barriers, deep sea submarines, and setting distances of thousands of miles, scientists have isolated psi to the point where its effects are almost certainly quantum in nature. This makes it easier to understand because quantum physics has already established that subatomic particles are in constant communication with all other subatomic particles through the Zero Point Field, a ground state of existence brimming with energy exchanges. The ZPF in fact, is the reason why nothing in the universe can reach absolute zero on the kelvin scale; the ground state of any portion of the universe contains energy that cannot be removed. How much energy? Well, famous physicist Richard Feynman has stated that a single square meter of space contains enough energy to boil all the oceans of the world. That's a lot of energy, especially when you consider that by comparison to other scientists, his estimate was very conservative.
Because of the similarities of psi to all of these quantum phenomena, it makes sense to assume that psi is literally "information", information that is able to appear at any place in the universe at any time. Most contemporary psi researchers agree on this model.
Most likely, when we are directing our intention at a psi wheel, we are sending information into the ZPF, encoding ALL the molecules of the wheel with the instructions to move. Exactly how this is accomplished is not presently understood, but one theory states that, because information exchange between particles is instantaneous (requiring no speed at all), the particles may have never really been separate at all. That means that by having a thought here, I can influence an object there because I and the object are essentially the same.
Today, using extremely cold next-to-absolute-zero temperatures, scientists can actually [i]see[/i] quantum non-locality at a macro scale. An object thus frozen appears to be in many different places at once but is one thing only. This is called a Bose-Einstein condensate. I propose that, at normal temperatures we are unable to see this connection (because if we could it would play hell with our brains) but it is still there. The practice of Magic, or psionics, is a wonderful way to unmask the illusion of separateness and reveal the extent of our shared oneness.
Basically, this theory states that:
[list]
[*]Psi is our experience of our fundamental oneness with everything[/*][/list]
[list]
[*]To effect macro psychokinesis, we encode the molecules of the object we wish to move with the instructions necessary.[/*][/list]
[list]
[*]All psionics effects occur through a non-local connection in the Zero Point Field.[/*][/list]
[list]
[*]Psi is the experience of the interconnection of consciousness, and consciousness extends through the ZPF like a fabric enveloping everything.[/*][/list]
[list]
[*]All things are part of the fabric of consciousness; that is why we can affect them. Some things may not have the physical organs to transmit consciousness into self-aware consciousness however.[/*][/list]
[list]
[*]Psi is an understanding of our interconnection, not a muscle or an energy (in the physical sense of the word "energy.")[/*][/list]
Please feel free to comment on this theory, but don't forget that it is not really mine. The "fabric of consciousness" part is a bit of a personal twist, but nothing that hasn't been talked about before.

[u]Modification of theory offering better explanation for macro-pk, energy constructs, and other phenomena:[/u]
Since the very start of investigations into [i]micro-pk[/i], parapsychologists have known that consciousness has the ability to create order in random susceptible physical systems. The PEAR lab did the most research on this; it was able to measure the subtle effect of wishing on random number generators.
It took awhile for this to click in my mind, but probably the most random physical system in the universe is the Zero Point Field. My previous macro-pk theory, where information from the sender encodes the molecules of an object with the instructions to move, possesses one simple flaw; there needs to be energy for there to be movement. It also fails to explain “energy constructsâ€
Second attempt to reply to this thread (dang storms).
Aside from terminology and a few nuances both of our theories are essentially identical. Once I get my pc running again I will go into more detail.
Oops! The theory just got bigger and scarier; now it involves energy too! That would probably make it more similar to your theory now.
- Johann
For such a young person you sure have a lot of technical study showing in your writings. I look forward to working together in the future to help each other and everyone else in a better understanding of psionics. As has been pointed out elsewhere, this field is also an art so knowledge alone will not do anyone good. But practice, belief and understanding combined will make an impact.
That's an impressive theory, sounds logical to me (with my basic understanding of physics >.>)! Question; where is zero point energy? It is on a quantum level yes, but where? in a different 'plane'? Or is it just present all around us?
Learning more about the 'how' really helps in progressing in regards to telekinesis. So keep the theories coming! Haha.
Also really looking forward to your and Wyndle's explanations on the physics behind flaring :P
cheers
my take on it would be like this: On the quantum level every perspective is the same, therefore space/time have no meaning, the past, present, and future are all in the same place, as are the places, so the zero point energy would not be affected by things such as space/time. This would mean that it technically is everywhere and at all times. Using this energy is technically an invalid way of thinking, using would imply that it was created for that purpose and disposed of after in some way, energy is infinite because it is re-cycled over and over again, so what you would be doing is directing the energy, telling it what it needs to do, or more like willing it to do as you percieve. -As I was writing this I was thinking about perspective and the quantum sciences. Perhaps, the only thing different in the quantum universe is the perspective. As in, say that everything in all the universe is really just one point, and the energy inside is so massive and chaotic that it created its own realities, or perspective as it were, in order to give order to the chaoticness of the place. In doing this, each perspective created a world for themselves, and since they all "spawned" from the same energy, a lot is similar to the point that it would seem "real" to the masses, but take the Matrix for example, I know that it is just a movie but the concept came from somewhere right? The point I'm trying to make is, what if perception is the only thing that seperates physical entities? Could we "break free" of this massively conformed standard of a universe and create our own new perspectives? Is that what psionics is really about? Is that what anything anywhere is about? And if all things are fundementally the same, then what is it that is blocking the human mind from realizing and accepting this fact? Is it because the human brain has not advanced far enough to fully grasp every single thing, and so the "subconscious" takes care and protects us, or in other words, survival instinct. Take ancient peoples as an example, they knew very little compared to what we know today, and yet they survived, and how? The subconscious. Anyways, this is just my thoughts at the time I wrote my opinion on the subject of this topic, oops, a little ramblish :p Ill take my leave now.
Wyndle,
Thank you very much; I look forward to working with you and your years of practice.
Sas,
Thank you as well. Its quite simple actually; subatomic particles vibrate according to a process called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. These subatomic vibrations release energy. This energy then causes the particles to vibrate again in an infinite cycle. Because there are astronomical numbers of subatomic particles, the energy of the ZPF is very great. I theorize that when we move something through psychokinesis, we are making use of the latent energy inside or around the object itself.
The Zero Point Field does not exist in another dimension, however other dimensions have been predicted to exist in physics. I am quite murky on that topic however.
About flaring...yeah... Well, I'm not totally sure about this but here's my best guess: Energy, waves, and light are really the same. Light behaves as a wave and as a particle. Therefore, the energy contained in the ZPF is basically non-visible light; flaring would consist of a process by which you somehow elevate the zero point frequencies to a visible level.
- Johann
As I stated in my theory post(s), the key to measuring the energy used is finding the frequency range that it resides at in nature. This specific portion of the theory does not help the practice of psionics in any way that I am aware of aside from having more scientists on your side.
Being a bit of a tech geek I tend to lean on technology as an example when I am teaching others in a one-on-one basis. I know it will not lend any value to the theory itself but it may make this conversation easier to read. For example, when teaching someone how to speed meditate I tell them to "bookmark" the way they feel. I can reach a state of relaxation that would take 10 minutes normally in roughly 10 seconds. Any faster and the body does not respond to the change in state. All I do is find a concept that is familiar and apply it in a new way. It doesn't have to be technology based, as long as it is a universal concept.
Sas,
Zero Point Energy, Spirit, light and sound are all one in the same essentially. They are all the result of a vibration at a certain frequency (wavelength) interacting with materials that respond to that vibration frequency (harmonic resonance). Science has finally frozen a photon in place. I have no doubt that eventually science will prove the existance of these other wavelengths and the particles that they emit/propel.
I have been pondering what light is and how it affects us these days. Since light comes from nothing other than massive amounts of energy moving very fast, than it itself is no different from energy, it is just in super abundance, and moving very fast. I've also wondered what the length of the radius of light is, as in, how far does it extend out? Magnets have a certain radius, Radio waves, basically everything has a radius. But seemingly light does not, we see stars that are billions of light years away, that probably aren't even in existence any more. So my question is, Is all energy, light and vice versa? To some extent anyway. This is perhaps why the ZPF is unseeable, it is energy that is not in constant motion, kind of like dark matter, it holds everything in place, like jello, but massively bigger and of course more structurally sound. Therefore it cannot be picked up by the human's rods and cones on the iris. (Look-up visible spectrum of humans, very interesting). Thus the ZPF, like light, is infinite and everywhere. Possibly causing the expanding of the universe. Energies reach is infinite, that is what I believe, I'm not trying to coerce anyone here, just sharing my thoughts. Any opinions, oppossing or otherwise?
Hello Joe,
Radio waves are light too, just non-visible. Again, vibrations, electromagnetic waves, energy, light--these are all names for the same thing. What we tend to regard as light are just visible waves.
Here's a good explanation of why we can't see the ZPF:
[size=80]"At every possible frequency there will always be a tiny bit of electromagnetic jiggling going on. And if you add up all these ceaseless fluctuations, what you get is a background sea of light whose total energy is enormous: the zero-point field. [b]The "zero-point" refers to the fact that even though this energy is huge, it is the lowest possible energy state.[/b] All other energy is over and above the zero-point state. Take any volume of space and take away everything else — in other words, create a vacuum — and what you are left with is the zero-point field. We can imagine a true vacuum, devoid of everything, but the real-world quantum vacuum is permeated by the zero-point field with its ceaseless electromagnetic waves.
The fact that the zero-point field is the lowest energy state makes it unobservable. We see things by way of contrast. The eye works by letting light fall on the otherwise dark retina. But if the eye were filled with light, there would be no darkness to afford a contrast. The zero-point field is such a blinding light. [b]Since it is everywhere, inside and outside of us, permeating every atom in our bodies, we are effectively blind to it.[/b] It blinds us to its presence. The world of light that we do see is all the rest of the light that is over and above the zero-point field."[/size]
The reason we can't see the Zero Point Field is because it is everywhere. "Non-visible waves" are just waves at a frequency that does not provide enough contrast with the Field for us to see them.
Here's the article from which I retrieved the quote: [url=http://twm.co.nz/zpf_haisch.htm]http://twm.co.nz/zpf_haisch.htm[/url] This physicist also postulates that objects acquire inertia through an interaction with the ZPF. In many respects, this particular article is revolutionary; the inertia hypothesis has still not been widely accepted.
Oh, and yes, [i]some[/i] physicists have postulated that dark energy is also Zero Point Energy, but there are still many hurdles to jump over.
- Johann
Yes, yes I agree with you. I was not saying they were one and the same, just to think of it as a similar effect. You explained that just now, since it is everywhere, as is dark matter "supposedly". I've also read about nuetrino's, which sound very similar to ZPF, as you described it. Has anyone else read or seen anything about these? I was watching a stephen hawking's the universe and they apperantly have these tanks very deep inside of the Earth's crust, which have detected these particles, nuetrino's. It's very interesting to consider. I'd like to hear more from you, you seem very versed in these matters. I am always thinking about the universe and psionics and how it all works together so perfectly.
Thank you for your response. I will not be able to completely answer it at this moment because this truly is my last post before I leave for summer. However, I promise to return and reply as accurately and intricately as possible.
Basically, my two short point are: "My" theory is based on the Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics, which is widely accepted, but not wholly. Second, considering that we know little to nothing about the [i]actual[/i] physical nature of psi, it is not reasonable to conclude that it cannot violate certain established laws, such as entropy.
Psychokinesis, in my theory, works like this: Because the energy exchange between particles in the ZPF is wholly random and unpredictable, it falls into the category of probabilistic systems that can be altered, according to PEAR research and 16 additional replications by other researchers. What I am proposing is that we are capable, through conscious intention, of altering the random nature of vacuum energy, such that it progresses towards order to the extent that it becomes manipulable. Essentially, we extend our consciousness into the space occupied by the object. I cannot fathom at present how this energy is actually used to move the object in question; my theory only goes so far as to provide energy for the movement directly from the ZPF.
I might add that labels such as "pseudosicence"or "quantum mysticism" are just that, labels. They are labels used by people attempting to dissociate themselves from those they do not agree with, a clever strategy to avoid cognitive dissonance. However, I do not use them because I recognize them for what they are. If anything, quantum physics has demonstrated that the world is a little bit more mystical than many would like to believe; Neils Bohr sought the teachings of the Tao; Wolfgang Pauli the Kabbala; other physicists other traditions. Quantum entanglement has demonstrated that things cannot be reduced to their constituent parts but that sometimes they must be considered as a whole. "Quantum mysticism" is just a [i]different [/i]way of looking at quantum physics. Given all the mind-boggling discoveries that have been made, there is nothing wrong with that.
Thank you for your reply. I have much more investigation to do.
