Hello, weโre 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 thatโs a rabbit hole we will keep going downโฆ 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.ย Thatโs not a new theory, itโs been around for decades. Not that most of us have traveled forward in time (well, maybe in our dreams ๐), 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.
Photonsโthose particles of a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiationโmay be the invisible bullet train that zips between the future, the present and the past.
ย โIf 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 Einsteinโs ideas of space and time โ an achievement that has eluded physicists for decades.โโAdam Becker, via New Scientist.
Letโs 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 โGod doesnโt play dice with the universe.โ 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 anotherโalmost like how behaviors and emotions such as fear become a social contagion in our networksโregardless of the distance between them. This became known as quantum entanglementโand it was put to the test by John Bell, a Northern Irish physicist in the 1960s, who showed the weird action of โnon-localityโ where quantum particles influenced each other at a distance, and influenced the โloophole-freeโ Bell test used today.
โNow is an illusion: past, present and future form a single, ever-existing blockโ
โ Matthew Leiferย at Chapman University in Orange, California, via New Scientist.
In our daily life, we most likely donโt experience or have ever been aware of backward causationโthe 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 โtime-reversal symmetry.โ 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 โstatesโ of the quantum world are still ongoing, as researchers attempt to develop a complete retrocausal theory.
Pastpresentfuture
โIs 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?โ
Jacques Vallรฉe, posed that challenge of time when he sat with ALICE in 2006.
An internet pioneer, computer scientist, venture capitalist, author, astronomer and ufologist, Vallรฉe was part of the Stanford Research Institute in the 70s, where he friended other SRI pioneers Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ, consulting on SRIโs classified Stargate Project remote viewing programs. Vallรฉe asserts that remote viewing is a rich opportunity for experimentation about how information can be transmitted from one part of the world to anotherโฆ โfrom one part of our world to anotherโ (that coming from the man who was the inspiration for the French UFO researcher in Steven Spielbergโs Close Encounters of the Third Kind.)
Below excerpt is from the ALICE interview:
โOne 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 weโre told that time is a dimension like the others thatโs 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 thatโs very difficult to do.โ
The Remote Viewerโs Address
Vallรฉe gave ALICE a third eye experience of remote viewing:
โI use my own metaphor of an address which could be โlongitudeโ or โlatitudeโ 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 whatโs 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 youโre 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, 1992โand that you might be able to access that particular location at that particular time. I donโt know whether thatโs 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 themโthat they can move back and forth in time. Again, I donโt know if thatโs reliable information or not.โ
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 โQuantum Evolution,โ 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:
โWe 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 movieโhighly 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 beโthere. And it makes so much sense. โ
The idea that consciousness is throughout the universe is not new.
There is consciousness in every atom.
โIt goes back to Medieval times and, more recently, to Teilhard de Chardinโthat 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 thatโs true, then the brain is processing consciousness with its own filters.โโJacques Vallรฉe
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
๐ง Remote Viewing 101
Sometimes called โanomalous cognitionโ or โsecond sight,โ 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 informationย and learn how to collect unconscious informationย 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.
๐ง Learn the Intuition of Billionaires
Udemy online learning offers a โRemote Viewing AdvancedโIntuition of Billionairesโ course for less than $20 USD (but you need to complete the Remote Viewing Basics course first.) The course claims to prepare you to โtoss the templates and use the full potential of your intuitionโ with little more than blank sheets of paper and a pen.
๐ง Research projects in progress: IONSx
Psi, Nonlocality, and Entangled Photons
IONSxย 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.
