First of all, this is video is made by "Ramtha's school of enlightenment". If your mind is still 'blown' by this video and you don't know who Ramtha is (or claims to be) I highly urge you to do at least one minute of research on this person!

That said, the video is misdirecting. It implies the experiment is dealing with marbles, when in fact the double slit experiment deals with fields, and the particles that we observe are quantum excitations of that field. The field has wavelike properties, hence the "behaving like a wave" but it's eigenstates are particle states, so we only observe particles. Quantum field theories like I just described are the most accurately tested theories of physics ever. Next it implies that consciousness has some effect on the observed particles. In this experiment, observing the path of the particles requires the use photons, which interact with the experiment itself.

It's nothing more than a contaminated experiment.

Yeah, if the universe is an illusion, then who created the super advanced beings who created the simulation? <- MIND FUCK, RIGHT HERE FOLKS.

And if the universe is an "illusion", that means we have the potential to become super advanced beings aswell and hijack the simulation and come into the "real" world!
 Quoting: Conspiruz


This remembers me of Star Ocean 3, in the game the universe were the characters existed, the third dimension was a creation of fourth dimensional beings, they created that universe in the form of a video game and the characters became aware of it.



This was the moment they entered the fourth dimension to fight the game master that was destroying the third dimension universe because they became aware of the universe being a game.

I have created my reality and still am everyday. I'm pretty wealthy now, I own my own home with NO MORTGAGE and I have a great husband and a wonderful life. I am so much more aware now and living conciously... I may not be able to physically fly yet..but don't hold your breath...that may be down the road for all of us..if we can wise up enough to unlock the so called "junk DNA" that we don't use.

So far as I can tell, you among several others in this thread are stating that the video is implying we can create our own reality and that we are gods so to speak with powers over reality creation.

I certainly don't subscribe to that, and I don't see the experiment as relayed to us in the vid suggesting that.

What I see is just the opposite, we have no control over reality however we can affect our reality. That strikes me as a combination of free will and determinism (call the latter natural law if you want) which I think is probably closer to the truth.

I've seen some other intelligent posts in this thread commenting that the experiment itself may be contaminated, and thus the results are suspect due to use of photons for observation of quantum matter. I think that's plausible and would like to look into that more. I think that's a much better approach to attacking the results of the experiment rather than attacking the video maker whoever they are.

You have a point, however, may I suggest doing an experiment yourself. Focus on something simple in your life that you would like to have. and I mean something that you believe is acheivable. for example; someone giving you a red long stemmed rose...draw a picture of it and focus on it every morning when you wake up before you start your day...Don't start doubting. Just do it. And then let it go and get on with your day. I tried exactly this when I wanted to prove to myself that I create my reality. Within one week I received a long stemmed red rose. I was at work and they were handing them out to all of us as we walked in the door. It was not expected and I never talked to anyone about it. Try it. Prove it to yourself.

Just the very act of observing matter changes its behavior.

Everything is made up of quantum matter.

Double slit experiment of quantum physics shows the holograhic nature of our world.





Lesson here?

Nothing you observe with your five senses is what it may seem.

Just the very act of learning of this, you have increased your consciousness immensely.

Use this new understanding of the world to decrease fear of the future and your place in the 3d space-time dimension.

 Quoting: AuthorAuthor


There is a misunderstanding here. You are assuming that the electron has some sort of path before it is measure, that it is real object in reality before it is measured, and thus somehow we're just disturbing this objects path by measuring it.

This is completely missing the point of why QM is so strange. Before the electron is measured, it is not a real entity in any way. It is a "wave", but people misunderstand this, its not even a physical wave out there in reality, it's only an abstract mathematical wave of probability before it is measured.

Nobody's ever in any seen or measured this "wave" physically, or will they ever be able too, because its absurd to try to measure an abstract wave of probability.

Your thinking that we're just simply not seeing an electron before it exists, that its just hidden from us, when its more accurate to say it doesn't even exist before it is measured.

So if a tree falls in the forsest and no one is there to hear it. It doesn't make a sound, becuase if no one is watching it there is no tree?

or

Matter doesn't need a multiverse theory? Even though we as people can percieve only one reality inanimate objects experience all possible realities, or have the potential to be any reality?
 Quoting: Tw0P3rc3nt


Well it does make a sound, simply being in the forest. There are other trees there likely filled with animals and even more so insects that would be around to witness the fall. Now, a tree in the middle of a desert with no living creatures around..who knows, because as soon as we place any recording equipment there to find out we are observing it.

The double slit experiment is a parlor trick, an optical illusion come obstical delusion.

It is a puzzle not solvable from its' own parts. Thusly you have to know the solution *before* you see the trick.

Get it? Once you see the trick you are tricked by it and cannot ever resolve to a real answer.

Yep, if your thinking of reality as physical objects out there in space as most people are taught, then right, QM makes no sense. Now if you have a different or more expansive conception of reality, that the mathematical wave of probability is part of reality, (I kind of think of it as information and "data"), then its not so strange. And interesting point about the particle being the illusion :) I think everything is "illusion" in sense, its a construct of your mind.

Anyone else ever zone out, eyes open, and realize very faint waves to everything?

But when you blink or snap back to alert focus the solidity returns also?

I think looking without 'observing' allows some of the wave to come through, albeit a small fraction.

Focus on something simple in your life that you would like to have. and I mean something that you believe is acheivable. for example; someone giving you a red long stemmed rose...draw a picture of it and focus on it every morning when you wake up before you start your day...Don't start doubting. Just do it. And then let it go and get on with your day. I tried exactly this when I wanted to prove to myself that I create my reality. Within one week I received a long stemmed red rose. I was at work and they were handing them out to all of us as we walked in the door. It was not expected and I never talked to anyone about it. Try it. Prove it to yourself.

You're not eludicating quantum mechanics you are interpreting a theory.

And your interpretation isn't supported by the evidence.

Well, I don't think I missed your point, I just have a different interpretation of the same data...you are looking at the data through your own filter. Your filter meaning a very small box that doesn't allow for completely new possiblilities to enter into your mind. The impossible is possible. until you say it isn't.

Re: Are we living in a hologram? Nothing you see is real. Here's the proof - total mind f#ck
...


So far as I can tell, you among several others in this thread are stating that the video is implying we can create our own reality and that we are gods so to speak with powers over reality creation.

I certainly don't subscribe to that, and I don't see the experiment as relayed to us in the vid suggesting that.

What I see is just the opposite, we have no control over reality however we can affect our reality. That strikes me as a combination of free will and determinism (call the latter natural law if you want) which I think is probably closer to the truth.

I've seen some other intelligent posts in this thread commenting that the experiment itself may be contaminated, and thus the results are suspect due to use of photons for observation of quantum matter. I think that's plausible and would like to look into that more. I think that's a much better approach to attacking the results of the experiment rather than attacking the video maker whoever they are.

I would kindly suggest that anything is possible, but for the here and now - where we exist - we are bound by natural law. That means while anything may be possible outside our space-time 3D existence, but within it there are limits to possibility; for example the law of gravity is in effect on our planet where we live, we are bound by those laws. As other posters have gleefully stated, we just can't go step off buildings no matter how much we imagine that we can fly.

Those laws may be the rules written within our existential "hologram" if you will, sort of the like the programming code of a computer game outlining the rules. However the programmer himself may live within a completely different paradigm absent those laws or under different ones. Obviously no one really knows at this juncture.

What you say is true to an extent. The reason we fall from a building if we step off of it is because deep in our unconscious we believe very strongly that we will fall. If we can override this deep belief, then we can walk on the air, and to do that we must step outside of our minds. The mind is very limiting because it is completely based on beliefs, anything we believe becomes our reality.

It's only small because you don't use it. Humans only use ten percent of their brain. What is the rest for? Well, if you used your consciousness, you would find out. There are adventures awaiting those who explore their unexplored selves.

I am taking the ground between determinism and randomness where I believe the truth lies. If I am not mistaken, you are suggesting there is no natural law and everything is random, and that we are gods of our destiny. Not only is this not true, it is destructive to those that believe it. You are not god, and you are bound by natural law whether you choose to be believe it exists or not. You ARE bound by natural law and while you have some measure of control over your destiny you DO have limitation and if you violate them there will be consequences. I believe that that is the programming of the hologram in which we live.

I'm afraid the ego doesn't like to hear this, because the ego likes to say that something or somebody else is responsible for the things that we dislike in our lives, likes to lay blame outside of ourselves. The ego has a vested interest in laying responsibility on the outside, because it knows that as long as we think that we have no power over our lives the ego stays in power.

So, people will vehemently resist this idea that we create everything in our lives, because they are still children, there needs to be a certain amount of maturity to accept responsibility. But every soul will become mature eventually, it just takes thousands of lives to get there.
