Look i didn't read all your post but i also viewed the dr two slit experiment thingo and yeah that blew my mind for about a week, and in that week i was reading up more about it. Just realise that when the electron (tiny piece of matter) was getting "observed" it was actually getting "Measured" meaning that to find out what slit the electron was going through they couldn't use a microscope, but they had to use other means and these other means meant interacting with the electron which they believe collapses the wave function of the quanti (electron) and is henceforth a particle (electron). Thereby taking away the seemingly conscious interaction that was us medlesome humans viewing an electron and the electron knowing we were watching so its not anywhere else but there...

That doesn't explain such phenomenon like having a randomness generator working on a computer spitting out either a 1 or 0 ie a yes or no at random. Then having someone sit in front of the computer and thinking yes, 1, and the randomness suddenly tilting to the 1, yes side more than before. Or how saying positive words to a plant can help it grow, while saying negative words to a plant can stun its growth. Or how sayig a prayer such as "bless this water, make it pure", can actually make the water cleaner and change it's "stucture" if that can be said about water, lol.
This reminds me of a TV experiment with the national lottery numbers as the test. The show (I think) was The Paranormal World of Paul Mckenna. My memory is a bit sketchy but I think he pulled six numbers from a hat and showed the audience and the viewers at home and asked everyone to focus on them for the following weekend lottery. All six numbers didn't come up but the closeness of the winning numbers to the ones in the test was close and SOMEONE decided that this experiment was not to be repeated. Strange thing is I can't find anything about it on the internet. I wonder why??

So where am I going with all this? Well, what if we can activly change reallity with our consciousness? As part of the global we should have influence over the world around us in a very real way. The movie has an example, an experiment where they took 2000 (or was it 4000?) people to Washington DC, with the aim to meditate every day over a period of time. It was believed that this would lover crimes by 25% based on previous stats. It did indeed work according to the movie during that time crimes actually went down! This shows that surely we are all connected in some way!
I don't necessarily believe everything I think either. But I think it's okay to think about them and discuss them. You never know, we might not be accurate but we could be very, very close to the truth.
Originally posted by TwixlyLet me just say I am not religious. I dont nessesarely believe what I am about to write but I always love to explore possibilities and this is what I got.
I think it was Edgar Cayce, during one of his trances, who said that in the beginning there was only one entity (god) who because he/she was lonely, broke off parts of himself then they became independant thinkers and creators and this multiplied till we're all here today with all our problems. I think it's highly possible/probable we do create reality with our thoughts and emotions. The reason we don't get everything we want is because we can't control these emotions and this causes what I'd call a mis-firing of our desires. Kind of like, say, you've always wanted this fancy car. You dream of it for years and years and then.., your neighbour gets one. Bummer.I think that focussed thoughts, with a calm and clear mind, can bring your desires a lot closer. But I might be wrong. lol. Great thread btw.

Let's say first there was God. I will refer to him as he even tho I dont believe God has any particular gender, should God exist at all.
Being alone in the universe God would controll 100% of the consciousness, or Global Consciousness for that matter.
This would by my theory above, state that he has total controll of everything. He see every possible reallity and can activly choose any one of them into existance all the time. Effectivly creating things with pure will, since if he can imagine it it's a possibility hence he can choose that one also.
Seeing every possible reality aswell as activly choosing among them is indeed as close to God as I can imagine.
Skip forward a bit. He creates Adam, but since Adam is a conscious beeing, God gave up either 50% of the Global Consciousness, or maybe only a small part of it (more likely). Effectivly loosing the 100% controll he once had. This could explain the errors I personally feel are taking place after this, like not creating both Adam and Eve at once since God should have known Adam needed Eve right away. Anyhow no problem he creates Eve. The problem is as he goes on creating more and more conscious beeings, like animals, trees and plants (yes it's debated by some that a single cell is the smalles conscious beeing there is.

That's where you reach the limit of your personal ability to modify reality, because this is not just your reality, it's everybody's and everything's, from the tiniest little bacterium on your tongue to every skin cell in your finger, to the biggest galaxy-sized brain 100,000,000 light years away.

If you're using this example to show opposition to the idea of a collective consciousness, i'm not sure i follow. It's entirely possible that the electron acts differently when we observe it BECAUSE the moment we observe the electron and become aware of it, it becomes aware of us. I'm not saying the electron is a living thing, but if everything is made up of energy, then maybe ENERGY is the life, the thing we are all a part of. An electron could exist as an individual and also as part of a whole.
