Psychic entanglement.
Stolen from The Remote Viewer
Fascinating...
As the world becomes one, it also becomes more entangled. As we benefit from the inter-connectedness of the Internet, for example, we also suffer the unwanted computer viruses and spam.
Although the word entangled has negative connotations of frustratingly intertwined objects that resist sorting into their individual components, the most modern usage of the term comes from quantum physics. Two electrons are said to be entangled when they behave as if there is an invisible communication link between them, such that what happens to one happens to the other, instantaneously, even over great distances. In other words, in physics, entanglement refers to a phenomenon which should be impossible, but which occurs with scientific predictability, to confound scientists' attempts to figure out how it might be possible and what, exactly, causes what. This type of "psychic" effect in the mathematical precise world of physics has often been used to justify, explain, or promote psychic phenomena in the messy world of human experience. The latest example is *Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experience in a Quantum Reality* (Paraview Pocket Books) by Dean Radin, Ph.D., Laboratory Director at the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
He expresses the essence of his book thusly: "Quantum theory and a vast body of supporting experiments tell us that *something unaccounted for is connecting otherwise isolated objects.* And this is precisely what psi experiences and experiments are telling us. The parallels are so striking that it suggests that psi is-literally-the human experience of quantum interconnectedness."
Oneness is the new paradigm. The world of separate things is dissolving into a new world of inter-connected experience. A thought, or brain event, in one part of the world affects brain events, and thoughts, in other parts of the world, faster than CNN can keep up with the news.
Radin builds this vision first with a uniquely structured survey of the scientific evidence for psychic phenomena, presenting a compelling case for the most common types of psychic events while introducing some intriguing and novel new experimental procedures. After reading this comprehensive, and entertaining, account of psychical research, anyone who would now dispute the reality of ESP should join the Flat Earth Society, where they would find many like-minded individuals who also have their heads buried in the sand. Radin proceeds to show how entanglement theory provides as good a framework for understanding psychic phenomena as it does for explaining the astounding results from modern physics. What is of interest to our readers is that the explanation Radin provides is quite analogous to the story and model of creation provided by Edgar Cayce.
What is missing, however, is the implication of psychic entanglement for our experience of psychic sensitivity. I'm thinking of people who have unwanted, or intrusive psychic experiences. Edgar Cayce was often asked about upsetting psychic experiences and still today the A.R.E. receives a steady stream of inquiries about how to deal with these experiences that are "too close for comfort." At A.R.E.'s annual conference, "The Edgar Cayce Legacy: Be Your Own Psychic," there has been a regular special interest group, named "Battered Boundaries," devoted to exploring ways to deal constructively with the many negative manifestations of "the entangled mind." In that group we ask, "whose dreams, whose feelings are these, anyway?"
Learning to live in a world of oneness--a world that includes earthquakes, famine, plane crashes, municipal bankruptcies, pandemics, terrorists and child pornographers--requires skills more sophisticated or subtle than building stronger barricades to the unwanted (look at the situation with illegal immigrants). If we are entangled with the minds of others, and if we share a common root mind, a mind born of the cosmos and rooted in the earth itself, then what is our responsibility to this entanglement? On the one hand, Cayce often remarked that "thoughts are things" and have an effect on others, thus reminding us of the Golden Rule. What about the effect that other people's thoughts have upon us? Cayce often repeated a timeless truth, that "like attracts like." Our Battered Boundaries work reveals that disruptive psychic experiences are often wake up calls, not merely to our psychic nature, but also to the fact that we have some housecleaning to do. If we have a psychic dream about an actual violent event, for example, chances are there is some anger within us that needs to be resolved. As we learned in kindergarten, "it takes one to know one." Coming to consciousness about our entangled nature hopefully will inspire us to clean house as well as to help others with our prayers to do so also.
