Mind Over Matter?
You might note that I am less interested in current events than I am more universal subjects that are meaningful to the story of mankind. This is a subject that I was turned on to by some members of this austere gathering. It is definitely brain nourishment. Or not, if you fear plunging into the abyss of what happens when new and ancient thought come together.
"We are the masters of our own universe."
At the subatomic level, science has shown that particles themselves come in and out of existence based solely on their intention to be observed.In a sense, the desire to see a particle .....manifested that particle. Heisenberghad hinted at this reality decades ago,and now it has become a fundamental principle of quantum science.In other words, Living consciousness is somehow the influence that turns the possibility of something into something real.The most essential ingredient in creating our universe is the consciousness that observes it.
The most astonishing aspect, however is the realization of the mind's ability to affect the physical world by augmenting through practice,.intention is a learned skill.(Ask any swami) Such as meditation,harnessing the true power of "thought"requires practice. More important...some people are born more skilled at this than others. Throughout history there have been those few who have become true masters.
This is the missing link between modern science and ancient mysticism. The new physics may well be a sort of neural science and along with the studies of Newton, Einstein and the like, we might find parallel studies in the Kybalion, the Zohar, or the Sumerian tablets in the British Museum.

Is it more likely that the tools chosen are affecting the particles in some way? Or, are having issues picking up what these particles are doing or simply measuring that they are there? Or that the entire concept of reality should be scrubbed?
I think the latter is absurd. There were similar issues when scientists were trying to observe the subatomic particles of electrons, protons, and neutrons. When using electron scanning microscope to try to observe them - the microscopes electron particles where affecting the subatomic particles they were trying to "observe". How long did it take before they were able to take any measure or even prove the existence of quantum particles?
To use the cutting edge of science in the quantum particle realm where proper measuring technique are still being discovered and even understanding the simplest of how these particles behave to attempt to validate mysticism is ridiculous.
I posit that those in the sciences that make any such claims - are already mystics and are reaching for validation of mysticism simply because they simply do not have the answers and methods needed to obtain concretes in their cutting edge studies. Sounds like the world of Galileo in reverse - where the scientists are pushing mysticism over rationality and logic.
.Ameador1 is a rather angry guy, isn't he/she?
That characterization described me well a few decades back.
I was of the conviction that current events were less important than the larger aspect of humanity.
I was wrong.
Locking ourselves into the "Ivory Tower" so to speak is the reason that evil is running unimpeded, fully aware that higher minds do not want to engage defeating him.
While I am still l of the mind of putting it into perspective, I am paying more attention to current events.
It is the molecular level of the universe, if you will. Just like the family is the foundation of society and what happens within families defines the outcome of how society functions, so are current events formulate the future of mankind.
It starts in kindergarten and goes on to college, systematically conditioning young minds.
Question remains if these nitwits will mature enough by middle age to realize they are working against their own best interest.
The family is still the basic and smallest unit of society and will remain so. Although I read stats that single households are outnumbering families in some areas of the country.
Current events definitely are excluded from that category.
I have to think it over twice what I am going to say when I open my mouth.
Even in stores: the other day I overheard a woman looking for ant repellent that it was Trump's fault she did not find the brand she wanted.
You are correct. We need to ignore it. Just wondering what the world has become.
the looked-down-upon nerd.
Note that in most fiction, especially SciFi the evil genius is always highly intelligent.
Yes, you are correct.
Not only genius, but larger than life, elevated to superhuman status.
Although he is always defeated by the "good guys", his status is not denied.
