Hello, weâre Alice and we are always in a state of wander. What does precognition, remote viewing, quantum particles and retrocausality have in common? Hint: the conscious universe. Wow, now thatâs a rabbit hole we will keep going down⌠but for now, jump into the mind field and see if we truly live in a pastpresentfuture continuum.
The idea that the future can influence the present, and that the present can influence the past, is known as retrocausality. Thatâs not a new theory, itâs been around for decades. Not that most of us have traveled forward in time (well, maybe in our dreams đ), or have seen effects happen before the thing or event that causes it. But in the weirdly random quantum world, this is happening all the time.
Photonsâthose particles of a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiationâmay be the invisible bullet train that zips between the future, the present and the past.
 âIf the theorists going back to the future with retrocausality can make it stick, the implications [of time travel] would be almost as mind-boggling. They could not only explain the randomness seemingly inherent to the quantum world, but even remake it in a way that finally brings it into line with Einsteinâs ideas of space and time â an achievement that has eluded physicists for decades.ââAdam Becker, via New Scientist.
Letâs Do The Time Warp Dance
When the theory of quantum mechanics emerged in the 1930s, it went against conventional wisdom with its randomness, inciting the famous Einstein reaction that âGod doesnât play dice with the universe.â The quantum theory implied that subatomic particles (i.e. photons) exist in a vague cloud of randomness until they are measured, at which point they snap into a definite state. But more mind-blowing was that physicists postulated that measuring one subatomic particle could instantly influence the state of anotherâalmost like how behaviors and emotions such as fear become a social contagion in our networksâregardless of the distance between them. This became known as quantum entanglementâand it was put to the test by John Bell, a Northern Irish physicist in the 1960s, who showed the weird action of ânon-localityâ where quantum particles influenced each other at a distance, and influenced the âloophole-freeâ Bell test used today.
âNow is an illusion: past, present and future form a single, ever-existing blockâ
â Matthew Leifer at Chapman University in Orange, California, via New Scientist.
In our daily life, we most likely donât experience or have ever been aware of backward causationâthe flow of time forward that causes a present effect. But most of the basic laws of physics today obey time-reversal, or what Huw Price, a philosopher of physics at the University of Cambridge calls âtime-reversal symmetry.â The fundamental laws of physics work the same going backwards in time as they do going forwards, (mathematically speaking), making retrocausality inevitable. Yet the investigations into the crazy âstatesâ of the quantum world are still ongoing, as researchers attempt to develop a complete retrocausal theory.
Pastpresentfuture
âIs there really such a thing as time? Does time, itself, have multiple dimensions? If time is a dimension, why should we only be able to go one way?â
Jacques VallĂŠe, posed that challenge of time when he sat with ALICE in 2006.
An internet pioneer, computer scientist, venture capitalist, author, astronomer and ufologist, VallĂŠe was part of the Stanford Research Institute in the 70s, where he friended other SRI pioneers Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ, consulting on SRIâs classified Stargate Project remote viewing programs. VallĂŠe asserts that remote viewing is a rich opportunity for experimentation about how information can be transmitted from one part of the world to another⌠âfrom one part of our world to anotherâ (that coming from the man who was the inspiration for the French UFO researcher in Steven Spielbergâs Close Encounters of the Third Kind.)
Below excerpt is from the ALICE interview:
âOne of the surprising claims of remote viewing is that this can be done in time. If that could be validated then we would have another need to research what time really is.
When weâre told that time is a dimension like the others thatâs obviously not true because time only goes in one dimension. I can move back and forth in x, y, and z. I cannot move back and forth in time. Or can we? Now if we can then that would give us insight into something that has been a mystery ever since mankind has existed, and it will immediately raise a lot of spiritual, religious questions. What is left? If time can be reversed then we exist forever. Or we can access other consciousness that may not be tied to the human body, to the human brain. That would open up all kinds of new areas. So the moment we break out of the multidimensional model that we have today, all kinds of things become possible. The problem is to have very rigorous experimentation in those areas, and thatâs very difficult to do.â
The Remote Viewerâs Address
VallĂŠe gave ALICE a third eye experience of remote viewing:
âI use my own metaphor of an address which could be âlongitudeâ or âlatitudeâ or it could be a key word, a channel is open in some way between the person doing the remote viewing, the operator, and the site, and the simplest level that you can describe whatâs going on in the middle of the Gobi Desert right now. You would first become aware that that particular location is a desert. Then you would become aware of some of the physical parameters of that area: the heat, the wind and so on. Then you might become aware of aesthetic impact of the area: the beauty of the sky. You might become aware of dangers about the area, of the emotional impact of the area. And then you might, if youâre really good, become aware of detail. The claim is also made that you could be given instruction to look at the Gobi Desert a year from now or the Gobi Desert on July 17, 1992âand that you might be able to access that particular location at that particular time. I donât know whether thatâs true or not. There have been experiments that have been done that way, claims by many remote viewers that, in fact, time is indifferent to themâthat they can move back and forth in time. Again, I donât know if thatâs reliable information or not.â
The Quantum Mind: Your Brain is WiFi
In the quest to understand the nature of consciousness, Johnjoe McFadden, professor of molecular genetics and Director of the Quantum Biology Doctoral Training Centre at the University of Surrey in the UK, and author of âQuantum Evolution,â believes that the brain taps into the electromagnetic field that encodes lots of information. Could, perhaps, the electromagnetic field be the highway on which remote viewers navigate?
McFadden sat with ALICE for a podcast on his research on the role of quantum mechanics in life, evolution and consciousness. He shared another metaphor that could explain how remote viewing works:
âWe all have these mobile phones, which download a signal, which is being transmitted miles away. And if I can download the signal here, and if I move a mile away, I can still download the same signal, because it's part of a field. And again, it's an electromagnetic field. It encodes lots of information, and I can watch a movie on there. So from a tiny antenna right in here, I can encode, I can download this entire movieâhighly complex information. And I can do that a mile away, as well. And that's kind of remarkable. It tells you that same information is at two points in space, separated by a mile, or many miles. And it just occurred to me, that's where it's got to be. That's where consciousness has to beâthere. And it makes so much sense. â
The idea that consciousness is throughout the universe is not new.
There is consciousness in every atom.
âIt goes back to Medieval times and, more recently, to Teilhard de Chardinâthat consciousness is not limited to particular entities but that there is consciousness in every atom. So not only would there be consciousness on other planets but there would be consciousness in everything. And I tend to gravitate to that particular view: that consciousness is really a distributed quality. If thatâs true, then the brain is processing consciousness with its own filters.ââJacques VallĂŠe
You can potentially argue that remote viewers may be removing some of those filters to transmit and receive information in the collective consciousness. Calling all positive precogs!
Indicators: Third Eye Training
đ§ Remote Viewing 101
Sometimes called âanomalous cognitionâ or âsecond sight,â remote viewing is a trained skill that the average person can learn to do. About 80% of the sensory information you experience each moment is generated by your brain, using a small sample of the environment around you. With remote viewing, you need to tap into very subtle information that is much weaker than your active conscious currently perceives. According to Gaia, the key is to increase your sensitivity to subtle information and learn how to collect unconscious information before your conscious mind interferes. They offer 14 steps to try your eyes at remote viewing. You just need 5-10 pictures, an envelope, pen & paper and an assistant.
Another great third-eye trainer is meditation. Remote viewing involves digging deep into the sub-layers of your mind, having meditation experience will multiply your chances of success.
đ§ Learn the Intuition of Billionaires
Udemy online learning offers a âRemote Viewing AdvancedâIntuition of Billionairesâ course for less than $20 USD (but you need to complete the Remote Viewing Basics course first.) The course claims to prepare you to âtoss the templates and use the full potential of your intuitionâ with little more than blank sheets of paper and a pen.
đ§ Research projects in progress: IONSx
Psi, Nonlocality, and Entangled Photons
IONSx is the moonshot of Institute of Noetic Sciences, currently researching the question: Can focused awareness modulate the strength of nonlocal correlations between entangled photons? This experiment tests the hypothesis that orthodox quantum theory is a special case of a more comprehensive theory that includes consciousness as a fundamental factor. It will test if focused awareness can modulate the strength of nonlocal correlations between entangled photons.
