Lecture Abstract

A brief introduction of the micro-world will be provided, and several quantum phenomena will be
explained.  It will be shown that our material world is in reality almost all empty space, a void,
the vacuum.  We as humans experience the world as solids, fluids, and gases.  Physics,
however, tells us that what our senses experience is energy or electro-magnetic fields.  We can
never know the outside world directly.  Instead, our consciousness is creating the images of the
outside world which evoke thoughts and conjure feelings.  No matter how real they appear to
us, these images in our mind are not the outside world.

It is obvious that we as human beings are magnificent creators of what we perceive to be our
reality.  However, most of our creation processes occur unintentionally and/or unconsciously.  It
is as if we were programmed by some higher forces of nature to function by default.  It is one of
the organization’s goals to research and present knowledge and techniques that may enable us
to create more deliberately and purposefully and allow us to live increased freedom and
happiness.  This may be accomplished by turning within and enlivening the unbounded treasures
of the universe through our connection to the source of well-being.


Major Lecture Points

    1.  Introduction
    Definitions, organizational points.

    2.  What is Reality?  What Our Senses Experience or What Scientists Tell us?
    Constructing wholeness from incomplete data.  Sensory fallacies and illusions.  What
    would 4D vision be like?  Excuse me - the Earth rotates which way and is exposed to what
    speeds?  

    3.  The Universe of the Atom
    Expensive microscopes and nothing to look at?  The worlds of vibration and of
    thought/emotion.  Atoms engaged in love affairs, but touching impossible.  Where exactly
    is our physical world?  Electromagnetic energy, charges, empty space,  ripples in fields,
    virtual particles, zero-point energy - are all there is.  Well 99.999%!  Get this:  The
    remaining 0.0001% of matter isn’t exactly matter.  But if it were, what space would it
    occupy?

    4.  Analysis of the Human Sensory Perception
    Electric impulses traveling to the brain.  The world isn’t out there, dummy, it’s in here.  In
    here are images miraculously and mysteriously created by our consciousness.  The grass
    is never green.  Would there be sound in the forest?  Maya.

    5.  Quantum Mysteries
    The secret life of the “quantum creature.”  Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle leaves no
    uncertainties.  The limiting world of waking, sleeping, and dreaming.  Consciousness as the
    basis of existence.  Newtonian versus quantum physics.  What!?  Particles behaving like
    waves and waves like particles?

    6.  Consciousness as Central Role
    Say again:  By whom, where, when, and why exactly is the wave function being collapsed?  
    EPR, kitty-cats, Wigner and his friend, and John Wheeler’s “here’s looking at you,
    universe”.

    7.  What Does It All Mean?
    When nothing short of paradise on Earth will do….  Is there a way to stay happy
    regardless of outer circumstances and events?  Connecting to the source energy of well
    being.  When you ask, it is given.  Allowing the good we desire and deserve.  Let your
    feeling be your guidance.
