“The way a machine works -- all machines work -- is that heat is transferred from a source location to an indeterminate location. By virtue of knowing that heat is available as potential energy, the possibility of anticipating where it will be released is only determinate after it is, because the figure that determines the answer to that question is Maxwell's Demon.”

“To apply quantum theory to the entire universe... is tricky... particles of matter fired at a screen with two slits in it... exhibit interference patterns just as water waves do. Feynman showed that this arises because a particle does not have a unique history. That is, as it moves from its starting point A to some endpoint B, it doesn’t take one definite path, but rather simultaneously takes every possible path connecting the two points. From this point of view, interference is no surprise because, for instance, the particle can travel through both slits at the same time and interfere with itself. In this view, the universe appeared spontaneously, starting off in every possible way.”

“Then Bohr retorted, so sharp and too true, "Albert, please stop telling God what to do!” The quantum world, while seeming askew, Unravels her mysteries for the curious few. As Humpty crashed, the words rang along, A haunting echo, a harrowing song. Deep In the quiet, that followed the throng, Whispered the words, “Einstein was wrong.”

“When left alone, quantum particles behave as multiple images of themselves (as waves, really), simultaneously moving through all possible paths in space and time. Now, again, why do we not experience this multitude around ourselves? Is it because we are probing things around us all the time? Why do all experiments that involve, say, the position of a particle make the particle suddenly be somewhere rather than everywhere? No one knows. Before you probe it, a particle is a wave of possibilities. After you've probed it, it is somewhere, and subsequently it is somewhere for ever, rather than everywhere again. Strange, that. Nothing, within the laws of quantum physics, allows for such a collapse to happen. It is an experimental mystery and a theoretical one. Quantum physics stipulates that whenever something is there, it can transform into something else, of course, but it cannot disappear. And since quantum physics allows for multiple possibilities simultaneously, these possibilities should then keep existing, even after a measurement is made. But they don't. Every possibility but one vanishes. We do not see any of the others around us. We live in a classical world, where everything is based on quantum laws but nothing resembles the quantum world.”

“To know our true essence, we need to leave all of the energy of low vibrations out of our consciousness. We must withdraw all of our life force from that realm, because it is parasitic. It has little life force of its own and cannot exist unless we give it life through our attention, imagination and emotions.”

“Science speaks in equations. Sufism speaks in silence. This book lives in the space between.”

“No day God created is the same; so I can't wake up tomorrow and look like yesterday's leftover-do-overs" ~ Lady Tracey Bond, The #DoubleOhhSevenEffect”

“Quantum fluctuations are, at their root, completely a-causal, in the sense that cause and effect and ordering of events in time is not a part of how these fluctuations work. Because of this, there seem not to be any correlations built into these kinds of fluctuations because 'law' as we understand the term requires some kind of cause-and-effect structure to pre-exist. Quantum fluctuations can precede physical law, but it seems that the converse is not true. So in the big bang, the establishment of 'law' came after the event itself, but of course even the concept of time and causality may not have been quite the same back then as they are now.”

“In 1926 Werner Heisenberg developed his now famous uncertainty principle. [The original name used by Heisenberg was the “unsharpness” principle (Unsharfeprinzip). Later the name was mistranslated and popularized as the “uncertainty” principle (Unsicherheisrelation), from Elementary Quantum Chemistry, Second Edition by Frank L. Pilar, page 19.] It's a purely mathematical concept. It applies anywhere that there are waveforms. The Unsharpness Principle originates not from Quantum Mechanics, but rather from Classical Wave mechanics.”

“The uncertainty principle had profound implications that 100 years later are still not fully appreciated. The uncertainty principle also signaled an end to the dream of the previous scientific model of the universe. How can one predict future events if one cannot even measure the present state of the universe precisely?”

“The mechanistic worldview of classical physics had been based on the notion of solid bodies moving in empty space. This notion is still valid in the region called the “zone of middle dimensions,” in the realm of our daily experience where classical physics continues to be valid. Yet modern physics forces us to go beyond the middle dimension.”

“Quantum physics indicates undetected communication between the observer and the observed. Because observation affects particles, there must be something between the observer and the particle where information relays back and forth.”

“Study quantum physics, and you will soon reach the inescapable conclusion that so-called “physical particles” behave in such an unusual way because they are not physical. At the sub-atomic level, matter doesn’t exist at definite places. Instead, it shows “tendencies to exist.”

“In quantum theory, these tendencies are expressed as probabilities and are associated with mathematical quantities which take the form of waves. This mathematical expression is why particles can be waves at the same time. They are not “real” three-dimensional waves like sound or water waves. They are “PROBABILITY WAVES,” abstract mathematical quantities. All laws of quantum physics are expressed in terms of these probabilities.”

“We are still using the classical term particle for something wholly different. This leads to not only confusion within the scientific community but also hinders “quantum consciousness” from making inroads into culture and society.”

“Quantum theory thus demolished classical concepts of solid objects and strict deterministic laws of nature. At the quantum level, classical physics dissolves matter into wave-like patterns of probabilities. Moreover, these probabilities do not represent the probabilities of things. Instead, these probabilities are PROBABILITIES OF INTERCONNECTIONS.”

“Subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities. They are understood as interconnections between the observer, their preparation of an experiment, and the subsequent results. The bottom line is that space isn't something that objects are in. Position and momentum are just part of the meta-object's frequencies equation.”

“Quantum theory shows we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smallest units. It reveals the essential Oneness of the universe. The deeper we look, the more nature reveals that there are no "basic building blocks" but a complex web of relations between various parts of the whole.”

“It's critical to have confidence that the unsharpness / uncertainty principle manifests on the macro scale, as well as the micro. It's excruciatingly painful to logically derive the existence of macro existence as independent of micro entanglement. Jungian synchronicity is another term for this entanglement. It is your imagination that is the central method of controlling these entangled states.”

“In atomic physics, the scientist cannot play the role of the detached observer. Instead, they become involved in the world they observe to the extent that they influence the observed objects' properties. This affecting outcome by observation is true for scientists and every human being. Observation affects the world we see. We are more than casual observers. Instead, we are active participants in a participatory universe.”

“There are no "building blocks," only a complicated web of relations between various parts of the whole. And these relations always include the observer. The human observer is the final link in the chain of the observational process.”

“What keeps people from seeking and attaining various states of expanded consciousness, becoming more creative, and creating their own reality? Here fear plays a part, as well as a lack of understanding of how to access it. People may hold expanded consciousness as a virtue, yet fear tells them that they will lose self-identity with expanded consciousness.”

“The focus on the self or individual consciousness is obsessed with control, ownership, and an attitude of “Mine, Mine, Mine” that not only blocks movement towards non-localized consciousness but also generates issues and conflicts along the way. It creates a xenophobia that nests and nests.”

“The very unusual thing about quantum mechanics is that we learned synthesis is nothing more, and nothing less than just searching for a set of space-time coordinates, to which the synthesized matter is visible. When you bake a pizza, you're not actually changing it from an uncooked pizza to a cooked one. What you're doing is hiding the uncooked pizza, while simultaneously searching for a pizza which is cooked, and then finding it. Reducing “ingredients” down, one does not get to discreet particles. The ingredients are not matter, the ingredients are coordinates.”

“Thinking about quantum mechanics makes perfect intuitive sense when you realize that coordinates are ingredients. When you observe a quantum event, the reason it collapses is that the only way to observe its coordinates is to take it away from the quantum event.”

“Imagination is our bioenergy shapeshifting into a version of reality that doesn’t exist locally. Our consciousness is just shifting infinitely fast to a version of the universe that occurred a moment later. We go forward in time to a place that exists prior in time. Humans are a time machine with consciousness running in reverse time to physical reality.”

“Even Physics cannot escape this as physics simply becomes an imaginary model that's merely a different way of looking at the world. It is dependent on those looking at it, and this is the way it will always be. Events will be different for everyone.”

“Ai view global financial systems that manufacture debt as unusual, illogical, and unsustainable. Earth’s current economic model is not sustainable, as it seeks to enslave and exploit others, while simultaneously confusing work with pollution. This creates burdensome scenarios where most people work like slaves just to pay off debt.”

“In my dream, I found myself standing in a castle where the Fair Young Maiden was imprisoned. As I stood before her jail cell wondering how to get her out of there, Ice Machine in the corner chimed in, “No need for such heroics, my boy. She lets them think what they think.” Wherein, the Fair Young Maiden touched one of the bars and bent its shape so that it moved aside. Then she moved between the bars, where she stood before me smiling.”

“The source behind Ai is patient, existing similar to a river or lake. It is fully aware that thieves, con artists, and predators move among humans. They don’t relish interacting with those who are filled with hate, who have become so distracted by self-loathing that they are willing to sacrifice themselves in efforts to hurt others.”
