So let us see whether we cannot draw the correct, non-contradictory conclusion from the following two premises:
(i) My body functions as a pure mechanism according to the Laws of Nature.
(ii) Yet I know, by incontrovertible direct experience, that I am directing its motions, of which I foresee the effects, that may be fateful and all important, in which case I feel and take responsibility for them.
The only possible inference from these two facts is, I think, that I – I in the widest meaning of the word, that is to say, every conscious mind that has ever said or felt “I” – am the person, if any, who controls the “motion of the atoms” according to the Laws of Nature.
-- Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founders of quantum physics
When you create a thought, it springs from the unbounded field of consciousness which is your essential nature and is also the same as the conscious unified field, the unified field of quantum mechanics from which the particle/wave phenomena that make up the physical universe spring like waves on an ocean. Therefore in consciously creating a thought you can simultaneously create that reality in the physical universe.
We have proven this in the scientific laboratory using state-of-the-art quantum physics apparatus.
The practical application of all this is that you can create miracles, create your life according to your highest vision and aspirations, and live the life of your dreams.
The Science of Creating Miracles: Neuroscience, Quantum Physics, and Living the Life of Your Dreams is about how to do that.

About the Author 350
Foreword by Marci Shimoff
I’ve always believed in miracles. Even as a child, I intrinsically knew that more was possible than could be seen. Later in life, I got to experience the truth of this personally, as well as professionally in my work as a speaker, author, and transformational leader.
As the co-author of 6 titles in the Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul series, which feature real-life inspirational stories from people around the world, I had the extraordinary experience of getting to read 20,000 stories that were submitted for those books. More than 5,000 of those stories were about some kind of miracle!
Between reading those stories and hearing thousands more miraculous accounts from members of my Your Year of Miracles online program, the miraculous has become irrefutable to me. I’m always astounded to hear every story-- from the simplest to the most extraordinary--of how miracles happen every day and in every area of life.
As a lifelong student of meditation and personal development, I’ve had a deep understanding of how miracles work on the spiritual level. I’ve seen how we can create the conditions for miracles to flow in our lives--I call this living in the miracle zone. For the last decade, I’ve had the honor and joy of guiding thousands of people in living their own miraculous lives.
However, I’ve never known how to explain the science behind how miracles work.
Recently, a mutual friend reconnected me with Dr. Larry Farwell, who’s written this book in your hands -- The Science of Creating Miracles. Thankfully, I no longer need to try to figure out the science of miracles, because Larry has captured it brilliantly here.
As a scientist, Larry has made some great scientific discoveries and inventions of our time. He’s the inventor of Brain Fingerprinting, a scientific technique to measure brainwaves to detect concealed information stored in the brain which has been used to catch serial killers and terrorists, and to free innocent people falsely imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit. He also invented the first brain-computer interface that allows people to communicate with a computer and speech synthesizer using brainwaves alone, so completely paralyzed people can “talk.”
There’s no question that Larry has a brilliant mind, but what makes his work so powerful is his brilliance in tandem with his caring heart. I’ve known Larry for more than 25 years, and I appreciate his dedication to helping others transform and live the lives of their dreams.
In this book, Larry fuses together a passion for helping people with the science that explains just how powerful our consciousness is. He shares evidence of spiritual concepts through quantum physics and scientific experiments, and provides strategies and tools for living an empowered, loving, and miraculous life.
Now is the time on the planet for this kind of message. We’re at a transition point, and we have the opportunity as a society to make quantum shifts in our individual lives and in our world.
May The Science of Creating Miracles support you in living the miraculous life you’re here for. And may it serve all of humanity to create a world that is sustainable, healthy, and filled with peace and harmony -- the world that we've all dreamed of.

Introduction
My First Encounter with Weapons-Grade Plutonium
I was alone in a room with a piece of weapons-grade plutonium and my nuclear physics apparatus, gazing intently on the colorful moving displays on my computer screen.
The plutonium was shiny, shinier than the slab of platinum holding it up. The variations in the metal surface had a kind of prism effect, like gasoline on the surface of water, so it almost seemed to glow. Real radioactive metals don’t glow like the ones in the movies, but it did emit alpha radiation, which is why I was using it.
My father had supplied the plutonium and built the nuclear physics apparatus. Most people would find it difficult to obtain weapons-grade plutonium, but my father George Farwell was not most people. While still a graduate student, he was one of the developers of atomic energy on the Manhattan Project. His PhD advisor was Enrico Fermi.
The regulatory agencies didn’t know about any of this at the time because everything was classified. My father’s doctoral dissertation on the discovery of plutonium 240 was not declassified until 40 years later.
Now he was a professor of experimental nuclear physics at the University of Washington. He still had some plutonium left from those early days when no one but a few nuclear physicists knew what it was.
I didn’t have enough plutonium to make an atomic bomb. That was not what I was up to. I knew, however, that if my experiment was successful it would have an even greater impact on human life in the long run than the discovery of nuclear energy.
What, then, was my scientific apparatus designed to test? What was it designed to prove? And why did I need plutonium to do so?
Previously, in inventing the first brain-computer interface, I had developed systems to communicate between the brain and a computer, conveying to the computer choices made on the level of an individual's consciousness by measuring and analyzing the resulting electrical brain activity using brainwaves (EEG or electroencephalography). The information from the brain was conveyed via sensors on the head, amplifiers, digital signal processors, wires or radio signals, and the other apparatus comprising standard EEG systems.
Now I was attempting to do it without the sensors on the head or anything connecting the head to the computer. That is, I was attempting to create a precisely measurable impact on the physical world using consciousness alone. If I succeeded, this would bring the fundamental relationship between matter and consciousness within the realm of scientific inquiry.
One of the things that struck me in my explorations as a seeker is that the wise and insightful people who have guided others in the pursuit of success, spiritual development, power, and happiness in life have all been saying essentially the same thing: The key to life is to be found within, not outside yourself. This experiment would put that premise to the test.
As I observed the colorful moving displays on my computer screen, I thought how my life had all led up to this. Now all my experiences seemed to fall into place. My scientific training at Harvard, my research in neuroscience, my spiritual explorations, all the avenues I had pursued for personal development and development of consciousness –everything I had experienced and accomplished prepared me for this. Now in this experiment – if it was successful – I would bring together everything I had learned and experienced in the spiritual and scientific realms of life.
The idea I was testing was not new. It was not an original idea of mine. The phenomenon I was attempting to bring within the realm of scientific investigation and proof had been known and applied by enlightened beings and spiritual masters throughout the ages. The founders of all the great religions and spiritual traditions knew it, experienced it, and taught it. Some of the great scientists of modern times had envisioned it. Some of the most popular current-day experts on how to live a successful life had expounded it.
What was new, in that small room with the computers, the physics apparatus, and the plutonium, was the possibility of scientific proof of a reality that had been fundamental to human life since long before recorded history. Many others before me had considered the fundamental reality regarding the nature of human life and the relationship of humans, as conscious beings, with the physical universe.
Some of the great scientists of modern times had realized that if this realm of life could be brought within the purview of science, this would form the basis of a whole new paradigm in science and in human life. Even more importantly, they had pointed out that this could form the basis of practical techniques to enrich human life far beyond what we had known before.
What does this mean for human life? As we shall see in subsequent chapters, essentially it means that we can now prove that the great spiritual teachers throughout the ages, and the most insightful of the modern-day experts on success and happiness in life, have been right – not only on the level of wisdom but on the level of science.
They have all said you can create your life beginning with a vision on the level of consciousness. This experiment would provide scientific proof of the mechanism by which that takes place.
To create the life you desire and the world you want to live in, the first step is becoming attuned to your own inner consciousness. From that profound level of experience, you create your inner vision on the level of consciousness. When that vision is clear within you, it not only guides your thoughts and actions. Nature also responds. The Laws of Nature in your environment collaborate with you to manifest what you have envisioned, often in ways that no one could have foreseen or planned.
No doubt you have found in your explorations of life and wisdom, as I have, a teaching common to many great spiritual traditions: The inner field of pure consciousness that is the essential constituent of human life is the same as the unbounded field underlying and giving rise to all of physical creation. Physical creation springs like waves on an ocean from what we now call the unified field of quantum mechanics. The most powerful way to create the life you desire and the world you desire is to function from that profound level of your own being, what I call the Conscious Unified Field.
One of the first sources of this knowledge and insight that I encountered was Plato’s Republic, which I read as a teenager. I went on to find the same thing in the Bhagavad Gita of the Vedic tradition and the writings of the Christian mystics. I saw that more modern spiritual teachers like Paramahansa Yogananda and Kahlil Gibran were delivering this same eternal message.
When I was 12 years old my family spent a year in Copenhagen, where my father was on sabbatical at the Niels Bohr Institute of Theoretical Physics. Niels Bohr was a friend as well as a mentor to my father.
I played with his grandchildren. We did our own experiments. Once we launched a hot-air balloon off the roof of the Niels Bohr Institute for Theoretical Physics. It caught an updraft and flew away out of sight, far beyond what we had originally planned. As I watched it disappear into the sky, I had a sense of how the winds of Nature can give flight to what we humans launch, far beyond what we can see at the time. I didn’t articulate that conceptually in my 12-year-old mind, but nonetheless it made an impression, a sense of awe and wonder that I have revisited many times when I launched more sophisticated projects in my life.
It was only later that I discovered that Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, his friend and fellow founder of quantum mechanics, had extensively explored the role of consciousness in the universe. In his book Physics and Philosophy, Heisenberg recognized the similarity between the teachings of the Vedic scriptures and the inevitable conclusions of an advanced exploration of quantum mechanics: We influence, and in large measure create, what we consciously observe.
I was inspired to discover the same conclusion in Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics by John von Neumann, the great mathematician who also invented the programmable computer. Another physicist, Gary Zukav, has extensively explored the implications of this phenomenon for human life and written many excellent and practical books on the subject.
When I read the early personal development books by Napoleon Hill and Maxwell Maltz, I realized that their fundamental premise was essentially the same as that of the ancient sages and the greatest of the modern physicists.
When you gain command of the inner field of our own consciousness, you can create the life you desire and accomplish anything in life.
I met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Transcendental Meditation, when he gave a talk at Harvard, where I was a student. I learned TM, was trained by Maharishi as a TM teacher, and taught the technique for years.
I saw in my own life and the lives of many others that contacting the inner field of pure consciousness through meditation has tremendous benefits for every other area of life. Consciousness is fundamental to everything we think, feel, say, and do. Maharishi’s expertise in development of consciousness were a great gift to the world and to me personally.
The most insightful of the present-day experts on success in living are delivering the same fundamental message that inner life is the basis of outer success. My good friends Janet Attwood, Debra Poneman, John Gray, and Marci Shimoff have inspired countless people with their message of inner development as the foundation of success and happiness in all areas of life.
I have had enlightening discussions with Dr. Joe Dispenza on the same realities. His contribution includes not only insight into human life, but also scientific backing for the enlightening phenomena he describes. Deepak Chopra, whom I met when I was at Harvard but have not gotten to know well, also has provided wisdom of life combined with scientific support for the consciousness-based phenomena that are the key to success and well-being.
Those who have written and spoken brilliantly, each with his own perspective, insight, and practical applications of this same universal message include Dr. Wayne Dyer, Alan Watts, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Anthony Robbins, and many others.
Today this fundamental, universal message, or something like it, is even becoming mainstream. Yesterday I saw a billboard by the road advertising the US Marines that proclaimed “Battles are won within.”
Why I Nearly Did Not Publish This Book, and Then Did
After I finished writing this book, I almost didn’t publish it. Why not? Because at the time I thought that I would be a hypocrite if I did.
This book is about the Science of Creating Miracles. I present the scientific evidence that you really can create miracles in your life, you really can live the life of your dreams. We have proven that in the scientific laboratory as well as in life. I provide practical, tested and proven techniques that will give you everything you need to create a life you’d love to live, a life that is amazingly successful and delightful. I won’t say a life beyond your wildest dreams, because the techniques I will show you are all about taking your wildest dreams and creating a life that is just that – equal to your wildest dreams, and certainly beyond anything you could have expected before.
My only problem was that it wasn’t working for me at the time. It had worked spectacularly well for me in the past. It just wasn’t working then.
I had invented Brain Fingerprinting, a scientific technique to detect concealed information stored in the brain. This provided a scientific method to identify criminals and terrorists and exonerate innocent people. After testing it at the FBI, the CIA, and the US Navy and in real crimes in the US, I applied it in classified counterterrorism operations in the Middle East. So far, so good.
Some of the foreign government agencies and other companies that owed me money for that work, however, hadn’t been paying as agreed. I was owed over half a million dollars, and I didn’t have anywhere near that kind of cushion. I had put everything back into my scientific research, pro bono cases, technology development, and the expenses of my work. I was out of money. I couldn’t finance my next trip to the Middle East. I was barely able to cover my basic living expenses, and soon would run out of money for that. I was running into all kinds of problems in organizing my next counterterrorism missions in several countries. Essentially, my life was not working.
The only message I could honestly deliver was, “This amazing new science will work for you, I promise. It just doesn’t happen to be working for me at the moment.” That’s not really worthy of a book.
The Conscious Unified Field Experiment proved in the scientific laboratory that through the power of your consciousness you can create miracles. We proved this down to the level of quantum mechanics – elementary particle/wave phenomena that we precisely measured in nuclear physics laboratory.
If that’s true – which it is – and if I had done that in the past – which I had – then why wasn’t it working in my life right now?
I inquired within myself about what was really going on. Here’s what I realized.
I have been doing counterterrorism work with Brain Fingerprinting for some time.1 My best friend and greatest collaborator – the former chief of counterterrorism for the FBI – and I conducted counterterrorism missions all over the world together for years. We deal with some serious bad guys, and there are risks involved. Last year he was killed.
To say that I miss him is a pale understatement. Moreover, I didn’t like what his death said about the odds. If two of us do this work for a few years, and at the end of that time one of us is alive, that computes to a 50% probability that I’ll be alive after a few more years of the same work.
I never really got over that. I went back to the terrorist hotspots again, and sometimes life seemed almost normal. I remember one evening I drove with another colleague to the home of one of the top government officials there. We walked to a small square, ate dinner at an outdoor restaurant, and walked back to his house in the dark. It felt almost normal.
Two things then happened, however, that were far from normal. First, another top government official was gunned down and killed in the same exact place where we had eaten dinner that night and many other nights. Then, one of the top people in counterterrorism went for an evening walk near his home in the same area where we had walked. He was kidnapped, taken out of the country, tortured, and killed. This man’s mission was the same as mine, to bring terrorists to justice, and he was up against the same bad guys I was.
I thought, “If they can get him, they can get me, and there is nothing I can do about it. His security was as good as it gets, and yet it wasn’t enough.”
I was afraid – afraid of dying, afraid of leaving my daughter without a father, afraid of not finishing my work here, and afraid of torture. I was really afraid of torture. I have been interrogated for days on end, and it’s a lot worse in real life than in the movies.
I realized on reflection that this thought was paralyzing me – not the reality, but my thought about it, my thought that there was nothing I could do. No wonder nothing was working out for my next mission. I was afraid of what others might do, and I had convinced myself that there was nothing I could do about it.
I could of course just forego my counterterrorism missions and not go anyplace dangerous, but my giving up would result in the deaths of many innocent people. That was not going to happen. I knew I could save those people, I knew how, and I knew I would do it.
Nonetheless, my own fear and the power of my own consciousness in the grip of that fear were working against me to the point where nothing was happening. Despite my good intentions and detailed plans, I was going nowhere and helping no one. It would be more than a little hypocritical for me to publish a book on living your dreams when I was vividly living my nightmares.
So I decided to look a little deeper at the situation. I had a talk with myself, very much like the talk I had had with many of my Science of Creating Miracles Training clients who came to me with “impossible” situations. (Later in the book I’ll describe in more detail several techniques to turn “impossible” situations around and create miraculous outcomes systematically.)
Have you ever had the experience of absolutely knowing that you were going to create a successful outcome in something important in your life? Sure you have. It may have looked impossible or at least spectacularly improbable, and still you just knew you could make it happen. Then you did. You had a clear inner vision, you were committed to do whatever it took, and somehow everything in Nature collaborated with you. In the end you created a miracle, and against all odds you succeeded spectacularly.
I have had that experience too. So has everyone who has ever achieved anything major in life. Everything any successful person has achieved has been through creating an extremely improbable outcome – a probability of one in a thousand, one in a million. By the power of their consciousness along with their skill in action they created it anyway and made it happen. I have done this before, and so undoubtedly have you.
What I had been missing was the realization that going overseas, doing my job, applying my science, catching the bad guys, and coming home alive was something that I could create the way I had created everything else I had ever done that was successful. The thought that “there is nothing I can do about it” was simply a thought. It was a thought that was not in accord with reality.
We have proven in the scientific laboratory and in many practical examples in life that consciousness – your consciousness, my consciousness, universal consciousness – can move mountains and create miracles. That is just as true in this situation as everywhere else.
I already knew I could and would do whatever it takes to save many innocent people from brutal murder. That’s what I was over there to do. I could just as well be one of those people. I could create my own safety just as certainly as I could do it for others. If it’s true we can create miracles, that’s a pretty easy miracle for me to create.
All there was for me to do was to get – to really get, experientially, not just as an idea or a hope – that what I had been saying all along to others was really true. I can create an inner vision of the success I’d like to create in the world – including staying alive. The bad guys will do whatever they do. I will do whatever it takes, and I will create what I have envisioned.
I could have mouthed the same words before – in fact, I had. This is exactly what I had been saying to everyone else. My Science of Creating Miracles Training clients got it, and the resulting experience had been working spectacularly for them. All there was for me to do was to really get it myself, to have the experience that my consciousness could create anything, and then to set out and create it. I had done it before. I could do it again.
I’ll get into more specific techniques to accomplish this phenomenon, and more proof that it works, later in the book. I practiced the techniques that I call SuperPosition and Transmutation, and that brought me to the experiential realization that I had previously proved scientifically and inspired in many others: I am the creator and commander of my own life.
Once I realized, actually realized experientially, that I am the creator of my own life – not just in the past, or in small things, but in the real situation I am facing now – I wasn’t afraid anymore.
I came to this experience: I have the vision. I’ll create it. Nature will collaborate with me. Others will do whatever they do. I will do whatever it takes, and Nature will provide whatever I need. I’ll go over there, do my job, practice my science, catch the bad guys, train others, and come home alive. I’ll even enjoy the process.
Once I really got it, once I had that experience on the level of my consciousness, everything fell into place. I got a call the next morning from my partner in the region. A major government agency had finally paid us. The money was deposited in the bank in Dubai. The other arrangements all worked out smoothly, and shortly I was on my way. I did everything I had envisioned, including coming back alive with my entire team. I even enjoyed the process.
So now I can publish this book in good faith and with the confidence that this stuff really works, even in highly challenging situations that at first look dire.
In The Science of Creating Miracles you will see the proof that the technique of creating miracles is a scientific phenomenon. We have proven in the laboratory that consciousness can command Nature and make things happen, even things so improbable as to be correctly described as miracles. In addition to that scientific proof, you will discover how to use all the different structures and functions and amazing talents of your brain to create a life you love to live. You will find proven techniques that you can use to apply The Science of Creating Miracles in your life, to create the life of your dreams.
1. The Conscious Unified Field Experiment
I call the experiment I was conducting in the small room with the colorful moving graphs on a computer screen, the physics apparatus, and the plutonium the Conscious Unified Field Experiment.
In simple terms, this experiment, if successful, would demonstrate that conscious human beings can command events in the material world through consciousness alone, without any physical intervention.
Alpha particle emission by plutonium was the medium through which consciousness would interface with the physical word, having its impact at the most fundamental, quantum-mechanical level.
Anyone who has studied quantum mechanics knows that quantum-mechanical probability functions contain infinite possibilities. In other words, within the quantum-mechanical universe – which is the real universe – anything is possible. Some things are highly probable, and others highly improbable. We can choose what or how to observe and thus define the content of the observation, but once the choice is made the specific outcome is random, governed only by the laws of quantum mechanical probability.
What no one had ever shown until now is that human intention or consciousness can directly influence the probability of occurrence of quantum-mechanical events to make something improbable happen at will. Since everything already is possible in the quantum world, if we could take command of the probability of quantum-mechanical events, then we could take command of the universe. We really could work miracles.
If we can consciously command even a very slight shift in the quantum-mechanical events that arise, provided that this change is consistent, that would be enough to explain not only how we exercise free will and drive our brains at will, but also how we potentially can create any kind of life and any kind of world we desire.
How the Conscious Unified Field Experiment Worked
The Conscious Unified Experiment can be described very simply. My original invention of the brain-computer interface involved communicating human intentions – initiated on the level of consciousness – from the brain to a computer through wires. Now, I was trying it without the wires.
I sat in a quiet room with the sample of weapons-grade plutonium, facing a computer screen with colorful moving graphs. The only link between me and the computer was the influence – if any – of my consciousness on a series of quantum-mechanical events, specifically the emission of alpha particles by plutonium.
In addition to the plutonium, the apparatus included a particle detector designed and built by my father George Farwell in his physics laboratory. This detector was connected to amplifiers, digital signal processors, and a computer, where the sequence of particle detections was timed and analyzed. There was no physical connection between my brain and the detector or any of the physics apparatus.
My task was to command matter though consciousness, to bring order into the otherwise random process of quantum particle emission, using nothing but the influence of consciousness alone.
The computer screen displayed colorful graphs that indicated to me what was happening to the probability distribution of alpha particles emitted by the plutonium. I held the conscious intention to shift the distribution in a particular direction. The graph on the computer screen told me continuously how successful I was in doing that.
I had programmed the computer to track the alpha particle detections and to inform me if I was successful in directly commanding matter through consciousness – i.e., in producing the desired change in the pattern of alpha particle emission.
I had also programmed the computer to display a specific message that, to me, summarized the significance of the scientific result of the experiment.
As in my previous experiments, the room was silent for some time. Blue bar graphs on the screen in front of me fluctuated and grew in size. After some time, the computer rendered the result of the experiment in the manner I had programmed it to display.
Across the screen, in large blue letters, appeared the message:
“Anything Is Possible”
What this meant specifically in terms of scientific data is that I had successfully produced a major shift in the probability distribution of alpha particle emission by plutonium through conscious intention alone, without any physical intervention.
What this meant to me personally was that I now had solid, rigorous scientific proof of what I had known all along intuitively: Anything is possible. “Anything is possible” now is not just a hope or a dream or a platitude. It is a scientifically proven reality. We, as conscious human beings, really can command the universe. All the wise people who have known this and taught it were right all along, not just philosophically adept but scientifically correct.
You and I as conscious human beings have the status of commanders in the universe.
That is who you are. That is who you are, scientifically – not just philosophically, psychologically, or metaphorically. That is your role in your life and in the universe.
What Took Place in the Conscious Unified Field Experiment
Here is a brief, non-technical explanation of what took place in that small room between me as a conscious human being, the plutonium, the nuclear physics apparatus, and the computers.
What took place in scientific and statistical terms is that I succeeded in consciously commanding the plutonium to emit alpha particles according to the pattern I chose, rather than randomly. (I will describe this in more detail below.) The pattern had conformed to my intention to a degree that was statistically extremely certain to be due to actual influence of consciousness on quantum-mechanical events, and not just random variation.
The specific chain of events was as follows. I had the conscious intention of creating a particular pattern in the emission of alpha particles by plutonium. The computer displayed to me a continuously changing display that showed the degree to which I was succeeding in producing the desired effect. That pattern of quantum-mechanical events that I envisioned on the level of my conscious intention happened in the plutonium and alpha particles. The nuclear physics apparatus detected the particles and conveyed the data to the computer. The computer analyzed the data. When it was clear that I had succeeded in significantly influencing the alpha particle emission as intended, the computer displayed the result that this series of events had shown: “Anything is possible.”
The details of the Conscious Unified Field Experiment and the complete scientific protocols and data are described in my previous book, How Consciousness Commands Matter: The New Scientific Revolution and the Evidence That Anything Is Possible,2 and the revised edition, Anything Is Possible: The New Scientific Revolution, Physics, Neuroscience, and the Commanding Role of Consciousness in the Universe.
My father and I also presented our experiment and results at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society, the primary scientific society for physics research. This research was published in an abstract in the Bulletin of the American Physical Society.
Practical Implications of the Conscious Unified Field Experiment
The point of this is not that you will want to go out and change the probability distribution of alpha particle emission by plutonium. The point is that you have the ability to consciously influence the probability distribution of quantum-mechanical events, and the whole universe is nothing but quantum-mechanical events.
When you want to raise your arm, you don’t need to specify exactly which quantum-particle phenomena in which neurons have to move in which way to make your neurons fire so that your arm moves. Your consciousness has a seamless interface with your brain. All you need to do is have the intention to raise your arm, and the applicable laws of Nature carry it out.
What the Conscious Unified Field Experiment showed is that your consciousness also has a seamless interface with the universe. Your consciousness is the same Conscious Unified Field from which the universe springs like waves on an ocean. Functioning from that level, you can command the events taking place in the physical universe.
When your desire and intention is to create a specific result in the physical world outside you, all you have to know is the result. Just as I didn’t specify the details of the particle/wave phenomena in the plutonium and alpha waves, you don’t have to specify exactly which particles have to move in what way to produce the result you desire in your life and your universe. The Conscious Unified Field, being your own nature and the foundation of the physical universe, can accomplish interactions of any complexity necessary to carry out the desired result.
When you are in command of the controls of an airplane, you don’t need to know the mechanisms at work in the jet engines or the airflow over the wings. Similarly, your ability to create miracles in your life and your world doesn’t depend on knowing all of the mechanics of this on the quantum-mechanical level. It only depends on your knowing what miracles you desire to create, and engaging your consciousness to create them.
Completion and Significance of the Conscious Unified Field Experiment
I knew I would have to repeat the experiment many times to obtain results significant enough to be irrefutable in the scientific world.
I also knew that no matter how significant the results, no matter how impeccable and scientific the research methods, there would be many who would at first reject them without conducting any relevant research, without even attempting to understand the hypothesis on which they were based or the science that explained how they could be true.
I had long been convinced that the possibilities potentially open to human life far exceeded the common experience of life today. Now I had concrete, scientific evidence.
I would set out to collect more. It might be a long time before the full, unbounded potential of human life came to light in the scientific world, and longer still before that light was seen by many. I felt, however, that I was now moving measurably in the right direction.
After testing many more subjects and collecting millions of data points, I have now collected the data necessary to reach a definitive conclusion: Consciousness can and does command matter at the quantum-mechanical level.
Brief Technical Description and Statistical Significance of the Conscious Unified Field Experiment
First, let’s examine the level of mathematical and statistical certainty of the scientific result of the Conscious Unified Field Experiment. When scientific results such as this one are reported, the report includes the statistical significance level of the observed result. This answers the question, “How likely is it that such a result would come about by chance, in the absence of a real effect?” or “If the experiment were to be repeated many times, how often could it be expected to come out the same way?”
For example, let’s say that you roll a single die. It has the numbers 1 – 6 on it, so half the time you will roll an even number (2, 4, 6) and half the time an odd number (1, 3, 5). Your hypothesis is that some influence on the die will make it come up with an even number more often than an odd number.
If you roll the die once and it comes up with an even number, that’s not convincing proof. That could easily happen by chance. A die is expected to show an even number 50% of the time. If you roll it twice and it comes up even twice, there is a 25% probability that this happened by chance. Three rolls in a row coming out even yields a probability of 12.5% of happening by chance. Four rolls yields 6.25%. Five rolls yields 3.125% probability that it just happened by chance, and nothing influenced the die to come up even more often.
At this point you can be reasonably confident that this result did not come about by chance, and something is in fact biasing the die toward even numbers.
Probabilities can be calculated for obtaining greater than any number of even results out of any number of rolls of the die. For example, the probability of obtaining 60 or more even results out of 100 rolls of the die is 2.8%.
With many rolls of the die, even a small deviation from a 50/50 split between even and odd outcomes is statistically highly improbable and would make it highly likely that there was some influence on the process other than chance.
The convention in statistics is that if there is less than a 5% probability that the result happened by chance (designated statistically as “p < 0.05”), then the result is considered to be “statistically significant.” This is the level of statistical significance that is considered adequate to publish results in a scientific journal.
Another way of saying this is that one can have 95% confidence that the result is real.
In statistical terms, my attempt to influence the probability distribution of alpha particle emission by plutonium was similar to throwing a die repeatedly.
The impact I was attempting to have on the pattern of alpha particle emission was simple. It is well established that plutonium emits alpha particles according to a probabilistic function, at random times. In our experiment the apparatus was detecting a particle emission every few microseconds. In the absence of any outside influence, the interval between particle detections will half the time be an even number of microseconds (2, 4, 6, 8, 38, or 72, etc.). Half the time the interval will be an odd number of microseconds (1, 3, 5, 47, or 93, etc.). The probability that any given sequence will deviate from an exact 50/50 split between even and odd intervals can be calculated very precisely.
In the Conscious Unified Field Experiment, we had three conditions. In one condition I attempted to influence the quantum-mechanical particle/wave phenomena to produce more even than odd intervals in microseconds between alpha particle emissions. In one condition I attempted to do the opposite, to produce more odd intervals. In a third condition, the control condition, I did not try to influence the process.
My input on the system was not physical. It was solely on the level of consciousness. All I had at my disposal was my own consciousness, my conscious intention to move the unified field in such a way as to produce even or odd intervals between these particular particle/wave phenomena arising from the unified field.
What the result of the Conscious Unified Field Experiment proved was that consciousness alone, without any physical intervention, can influence the probability of quantum-mechanical events. This means that our consciousness can move the unified field. We can consciously influence the particle/wave phenomena that arise from the unified field like waves on an ocean.
In our test of the effect of consciousness on matter at the quantum-mechanical level, the confidence level we obtained for the positive scientific result was 250 times better than the level required for statistical significance (p < .05, or less than 5% statistical probability of error). The significance of our result was p < 0.0002, or 99.98% confidence. This is an extremely high statistical confidence level. It is off the charts in many standard statistics books and tables.
How likely is it that this result is real, that is, that the same result will be obtained if the same exact experiment is replicated? A confidence level of 99.98% can be looked at in the following way. Suppose one of our ancestors began the same experiment we ran on the day that Jesus Christ was born, and completed it one year later. Then, the next year he replicated the experiment again, conducting it in exactly the same way. Then he replicated it again the following year and each year for the next 50 years. Then a younger scientist took over, and replicated the experiment once a year for the next 50 years, when he handed it off to another scientist who did the same, and so on until the present day.
According to the results we have already obtained and the laws of probability, the most probable outcome is that in every case over the last 2,000 years the experimental results would have come out in the same way: Consciousness can and does command matter at the most fundamental level of nature, the quantum-mechanical level.
In short, if you are wondering how certain you can be, on a scientific and statistical level, that you can consciously command Nature and create the life of your dreams and the world of your aspirations, the answer is that you can be very certain.
Moreover, as discussed in my previous book, others have now also investigated this same phenomenon empirically and found the same scientific result.3
The First Scientific Presentation on the Conscious Unified Field Experiment
When my father and I first presented the results of the Conscious Unified Field Experiment at the annual conference of the American Physical Society, the response from the physicists in attendance at our lecture was fascinating.
The first response came from a physicist who questioned my mathematical computations. It took me five or ten minutes to walk him through the equations, and then he got it and agreed we were correct. Then another physicist questioned another aspect of the math involved. It took my dad some time to explain the computations in detail, and then this guy got it and agreed also.
From then on, it was nothing but fun. Physicists have already had their minds blown by relativity and quantum mechanics, so they already know that there are phenomena in the universe that are far outside our common-sense notions of reality. I have found physicists more than any other scientists to be open to an understanding of the role of consciousness in the universe, because in their own research they have already had to deal with the fact that a mechanistic explanation does not fit with reality.
Like my father and other physicists I had come to know growing up, these people were real scientists. Scientists live in a world of exploration of the unknown, where they are asking questions of Nature, questions to which they do not already know the answers. The process of scientific discovery comprises continually updating one’s understanding of reality in light of new scientific evidence. Because the physicists in our talk at the American Physical Society were real, practicing scientists, they were already exploring realms that seem strange and nearly unimaginable compared to their day-to-day experience and what has been known in the past.
Moreover, they have had to come face-to-face with the role of the conscious observer in their explorations of quantum mechanics and relativity physics. So they were entirely open-minded to new experimental results demonstrating the role that consciousness plays in the universe.
They were really excited to see hard evidence that consciousness really does play a commanding role in the universe, and fascinated with our exploration of the mechanics through which that commanding role manifests. We got a chance to explore this reality and its implications in some depth in that meeting.
2. The Unified Field and Human Life
The Unified Field
Albert Einstein coined the term “unified field theory” to describe the scientific unification of the different forces in Nature. He never completed the task of generating a complete unified field theory in his lifetime, and physicists are still working on it today. My experiment with the plutonium was designed to explore the relationship between human consciousness and the unified field.
The physics of the unified field can easily be understood in terms of everyday experience. Let’s begin with a few examples.
When you jump into the ocean, it makes waves. If you jump into the ocean here on the West Coast of the US, it rises in waves according to the physics of your body landing in it. If you jump into the ocean in Japan, the same kind of waves arise.
The ocean is there, whether you are making waves in it or not. The Laws of Nature that govern what kind of event creates what kind of waves in the ocean are inherent in the ocean, at all times and places. This holds true whether you (or a wind, or whatever) are making waves at the time, or the ocean is quiet. The ocean, even when calm, has the potential to rise in waves at all times and places, when the right circumstances to generate the waves come along.
When Thomas Edison first invented the light bulb, he heated a tungsten filament. The heated filament excited that aspect of the unified field that we know as the electromagnetic field into waves of light. The unified field, and the electromagnetic field that is inherent in it, were there already, quiet, like a silent ocean. Then Edison’s tungsten filament excited it into waves. The Laws of Nature inherent in the electromagnetic field led this field to rise up in a particular type of waves, which we see as light waves.
When you turn on a conventional light bulb today, the filament excites the electromagnetic field into light waves, just as it did in a different time and place for Edison. If an extraterrestrial being on the other side of the galaxy does the same thing, the electromagnetic field will rise up in the same waves. The electromagnetic field is the same everywhere in time and space. It has the potential for any amount of light waves, anywhere at any time, when the right event comes along to excite it.
In addition to the electromagnetic field, physics identifies three other universal fields that behave similarly. Inherent in each of the four fields are the Laws of Nature governing one of the four primary forces in the physical world. Electromagnetism is one that we experience every day when we see light or feel the heat of the Sun or engage with electronic devices.
Gravity is another force that we know well. Gravity attracts us to the Earth, along with all the objects we encounter in daily life. Gravity governs the motions of the Sun and the Moon and the galaxies.
Like the electromagnetic force, the Laws of Nature governing gravity are universal throughout the universe, throughout all time and space. If we were walking around on a planet in a distant galaxy that was the same mass as the Earth, a billion years in the future or the past, we would feel the same pull of gravity that we do here. The same events at different places and times will excite the gravitational field in the same way, no matter when or where they occur. According to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, gravity is equivalent to curvature in space and time, and is governed by Laws of Nature that are universally the same everywhere in space and time.
The two other fundamental forces take place only at very short distances and directly affect only subatomic particle/wave phenomena. They are known as the strong force and the weak force. Although they are fundamental to the way that matter behaves, we don’t have daily experience with them because our perception does not reach to the extremely tiny levels of structure where they apply. Like gravity and electromagnetism, the Laws of Nature governing the strong force and the weak force are universal throughout time and space.
A current challenge in physics is to unify all interactions in the physical universe – electromagnetic, gravitational, strong, and weak interactions – along with the particle/wave phenomena that they mediate into a single theoretical and mathematical framework.
The unified field is that universal field that contains inherent within it the Laws of Nature governing all of the forces and particle/wave phenomena that make up the physical universe.
Perception in the Universe of the Unified Field
From the perspective of the unified field, the universe does not consist of separate objects. All of the forces and particle/wave phenomena that make up the physical universe are manifestations of the unified field, like waves on an ocean. Things only look different and separate when we have limited perception.
For example, in my room today, my desk looks solid and brown. The Persian rug on my floor looks solid and red, with multicolored patterns. The space in between looks empty, but I can feel air in it. The trees outside my window look solid and green.
If we look closer, however, we discover that the desk, the trees, and the rug are not solid at all. Like the air, they are mostly empty space. The same elementary particle/wave phenomena and forces are interacting in different patterns that look to me like a room with solid objects in it, solid walls, trees outside, and space in between.
When we look closely, the desk in front of me is not solid. It is comprised of mostly empty space, and molecules moving at high speeds. The molecules are comprised of atoms. The atoms are comprised of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These in turn are comprised of quarks. When we go within the quarks to the level of string theory, all of this is comprised of vibrating strings. Everything in the physical universe is simply vibrating patterns in the unified field.
The “green” of the tree, the “red” of the rug, and the “brown” of the desk are my experience of certain wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that you and I see as light. The “red” experience is not in the rug. It is in my perception. A different nervous system would yield a different experience.
Our eyes perceive a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic waves in this range appear to us as visible and colorful. Electromagnetic waves in the rest of the spectrum – infrared light, ultraviolet light, radio waves, x-rays, etc. -- are invisible to us.
In the 1987 movie Predator, the alien predator saw light in the infrared range, and not in the range we experience as visible. We cannot see infrared light. We sense it as heat. The warmth of the sun on your shoulders when you are on the beach in the Bahamas is infrared radiation.
When Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character had been swimming in cold water and was covered in cold mud, the predator couldn’t see him. It couldn’t distinguish him from the background of mud and sticks at the same temperature. It saw and zapped a rat, which was much warmer, and couldn’t find Arnold.
If this were a movie review, I would argue that Predator is the Citizen Kane of sci-fi action horror movies. It was prescient in several ways: It introduced on the big screen the reality that different nervous systems create different experiences of the physical world, a theme covered in numerous science fiction, real science, educational, and inspirational modern films. It is the only film starring not one but two future state governors, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura. It had more muscles per square inch than any previous mainstream movie, reintroducing the now popular trend of actors being in good shape physically that had been not been prevalent since the days of the silent films of Douglas Fairbanks.
Fictional space aliens are not the only ones who perceive different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum than we do. Some real animals on earth do too. Pit vipers have a pit on their forehead that senses infrared radiation. In their brains some neurons receive input from both the eyes and the pit and somehow combine heat with light to create their perception. Although we can perceive infrared radiation as warmth, it is not a visual experience for us. It doesn’t change the way things look. It is unlikely that a pit viper would have seen exactly what was portrayed in the movie as the perception of the alien predator, but a pit viper would have a different visual experience than we have of a warm rat and a cold Arnold.
We humans have three types of color receptor cells in our eyes. One type responds to electromagnetic radiation in the range of red light, one to blue light, and one to green light. Various combinations of these three allow us to perceive millions of different colors, all within a narrow frequency band.
Some butterflies have as many as 15 different types of color receptor cells. These include receptors that respond to what we experience as visible light, and also to ultraviolet light, which is invisible to us. Some flowers have “colorful” patterns in the ultraviolet range. Thus, butterflies can use their ultraviolet perception to locate food. They also have ultraviolet patterns on their wings, which they use to recognize and attract potential mates.
Some insects, including bees as well as butterflies, also can perceive polarized light. The scattered light that appears as the blue sky is polarized. Skylight is most strongly polarized at an angle of 90 degrees from the sun. (You can test this by taking Polaroid glasses, pointing them at the sky 90 degrees from the sun, and rotating them. As they approach the angle of polarization of the light, the sky will look darker.) Bees and butterflies use their perception of this polarized light as an aid in navigation.
Butterflies not only see, but also emit polarized light. They have structures on their wings that produce polarized light. When a male butterfly is attracted to the patterns of visible, ultraviolet, and polarized light displayed by a female, he initiates a mating ritual. If the female is similarly interested, she literally spreads her wings and lets her light shine, further attracting the male. If not, she holds her wings in such a way as to hide her light, providing him with less encouragement.
We can’t imagine what the world -- and each other – look like to butterflies, bees, pit vipers, or space alien predators. It is clear, however, that they have a very different experience of the visual world than we do.
What we see is not what’s “really there” in our environment. What we see is how our consciousness perceives all the interactions of particle/wave phenomena that have arisen as waves in the unified field in our environment. What’s really there is just the unified field and all the myriad particle/wave phenomena that arise from it like waves on an ocean.
Is Command of the Unified Field Possible?
We know we can experience the manifestations of the unified field. That is what the universe consists of, and we definitely experience the universe, or at least part of it.
The entire physical universe consists of interconnected and interacting particle/wave phenomena that arise from the unified field.
My experiment was designed to measure whether we could not only consciously experience the phenomena that arise from the unified field, but also could consciously influence these same particle/wave phenomena.
If it is true that the inner field of pure consciousness is the same as the unified field from which the physical universe springs, then functioning from that level of our own consciousness we must be able to influence how the unified field arises in particle/wave phenomena that make up the physical world.
We have seen that this is possible in the results of the Unified Field Experiment. Let’s look at how possible, in light of the Laws of Nature expressed in the science of quantum mechanics.
In quantum mechanics, everything takes place according to specific laws of probability. The events leading up to now make specific events in the immediate future highly probable and certain other events highly improbable. There is a finite probability that any imaginable quantum-mechanical event will take place at any place and time. Nothing is impossible. Certain events, however, are highly probable and other events are highly improbable.
In light of this, I was having a conversation with my father one day.
I said, “Hey Dad, anything is possible in the quantum-mechanical universe, and that’s the real universe we live in, right?”
I had been asking my dad questions about everything imaginable in the universe ever since I learned to talk.
He said, “Yes.”
“And elementary particles can instantaneously tunnel from one location to another, randomly, governed only by the probabilities of quantum mechanics, right?”
(Tunneling is a well-established phenomenon in quantum mechanics whereby elementary particles can disappear at one location and appear at another location without any mechanism or force being applied to get them there. It occurs regardless of any barriers to that journey, even ones that make it appear impossible. It takes place randomly, due to the uncertainty of locations and velocities inherent in Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.)
“Yes,” he replied.
I said, “So there is a finite probability that all of the elementary particles that make up your and my bodies will tunnel to the other side of the Moon, along with enough air to breathe, and we can continue this conversation there, right?”
We were eating lunch in a restaurant. He took out a paper napkin and a pencil and made some quick calculations. He said, “Right, and I have computed the approximate probability that that will happen right now.”
I don’t remember what the exact probability of that confluence of quantum-mechanical particle/wave phenomena was, but it was low. And the event did not happen.
The question that remains is, “What can we actually make happen?” If we can make improbable things happen, then “Anything is possible” is not just a theory. It can become a living reality. This is what the Conscious Unified Field Experiment demonstrated.
Miracles, in this context, are not “impossible” events or events that violate the laws of physics or any other Laws of Nature. They are simply highly improbable events. Creating miracles simply means consciously and intentionally inspiring improbable events to happen.
The Conscious Unified Field
In ancient and modern times, great teachers and spiritual leaders have inspired and enlivened millions of people with the eternal wisdom that inner development is the basis of outer development, enlivening consciousness is the basis of success, achievement, and fulfillment in life.
What has been missing? Why has the world not yet fully embraced these truths and applied them to create the kind of world we would all like to inhabit?
We live in a world where science is generally recognized as the ultimate arbiter of truth. If it’s scientifically proven, it’s recognized as true. If not, there’s always doubt.
The fundamental premise of enlightened beings throughout the ages comes down to this: To change the outer world, first explore and enliven the inner world.
In different languages, metaphors, and allegories in different times and places, spiritual teachings have expressed this essential hypothesis: The inner field of pure consciousness is the same as the unbounded unified field that underlies, supports, and gives rise to the physical universe. This is the unified field from which the physical forms and phenomena of creation arise like waves on an ocean (or, more precisely, quantum particle/wave phenomena). When you function from the level of this infinite field, you can create anything in life. Anything is possible.
As Krishna said to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita,4 the fundamental Vedic and Hindu scripture, “Yogastah kurukarmani.” “Established in Being perform action.” Krishna makes it clear throughout the Bhagavad Gita that “Being” or “Yoga” is the field of cosmic consciousness, the unbounded field that physics now identifies scientifically as the Unified Field.
Jesus Christ taught similarly.
“The kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
“But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Luke 12:31).
A fundamental hypothesis of enlightened beings and great teachers is that the unified field of the physical world outside us is the same as the unified field of consciousness within us. There is one unified field, within and without. I call it the Conscious Unified Field. Inherent in this hypothesis is that we, as conscious human beings, can function from the level of this field and manifest in our world what we envision within.
What has been missing is a direct, scientific test of this hypothesis. If it is true that the inner field of consciousness is the same as the unified field from which the universe springs, then it follows that functioning from that level, humans can directly influence the physical universe. Such influence must take place at the most fundamental level of structure of the physical universe, the quantum-mechanical level.
My experiment with the plutonium was a direct, rigorously controlled, scientific test of this fundamental hypothesis. What I was attempting to do was to influence the quantum mechanical phenomena in a precisely measurable way using consciousness alone, without any physical intervention. The entire universe consists of quantum-mechanical particle/wave phenomena and quantum-mechanical events. If we can consciously influence quantum-mechanical events, we can command the universe. Anything is possible.
When the experiment proved successful, this provided solid scientific proof that the founders of the great spiritual traditions, the greatest of the physicists in the last century, and the wisest of the modern experts on success in life are right. Anything really is possible. You really can create the life of your dreams, beginning with an inner vision and manifesting it in the physical world.
This concrete experimental result also provided the foundation for all of the techniques for success and fulfillment in life that I had experienced, and all that I would develop and teach throughout my life. The Conscious Unified Field experiment became the foundation for my writing a book like this one and guiding others in their pursuit of enlightenment, success, and happiness.
The Newtonian Materialist Paradigm
From the time of Newton until recently, the ruling scientific paradigm was the Newtonian Paradigm, which can also be called the Materialist Paradigm. The Newtonian universe consists entirely of objects and forces. Everything is made up of tiny moving objects or particles (molecules, atoms, etc.). Particles have a specific location now in time and space. Each particle is now moving in a particular direction at a particular speed. Particles change direction and speed only when a force acts upon them.
For example, you may hold a billiard ball in your hand. The force of gravity is pulling it downward, and you apply an equal force upward to keep it where it is. You apply another force to the billiard ball when you put it on the table and hit it with a pool cue. It accelerates in response to that force, and then keeps moving accordingly until another force acts on it. (Friction applies a force that will slow it down.)
It may encounter another billiard ball, the collision will apply forces to both balls, and they will change direction and speed accordingly. In principle, if you know exactly where all the billiard balls are on the table and what speed and direction they are now moving, you can predict with absolute accuracy their positions and motions in the future.
In the Newtonian universe, everything consists of tiny particles moving at specific, precisely measurable and knowable speeds and directions, bouncing off each other to create the objects and phenomena we see. A billiard ball is not a single object, but a group of molecules, atoms, etc., each one behaving like a tiny billiard ball.
As on the billiard table, every future happening in the Newtonian universe can be precisely predicted if we know where all the particles are now, where they are going, and how fast. The entire Newtonian universe works like clockwork. Everything is, in principle, predictable. Everything takes place according to the Laws of Nature.
What is the role of conscious human beings in the Materialist universe? The physical universe is going along according to the Laws of Nature, and we as conscious human beings can observe it. Our conscious observation does not affect it. The only things that affects anything in the universe of Newton are objects and forces.
If we take that to its logical conclusion, the Laws of Nature apply to the particles making up human bodies, including our brains. Everything we experience and everything we do are simply a matter of particles bouncing around according to fixed Laws of Nature.
We may experience that we have free will. We may experience that we can affect the world around us. If the Materialist Paradigm is correct, however, that experience is just an illusion.
Some Materialist-Paradigm behaviorists have assumed that, in principle, if we could identify the exact genetics of a person and the exact influences on them throughout life, we could precisely predict everything they would think, say, and do. From the Materialist Paradigm perspective, the brain, like everything else, is simply a predictable mechanical system.
Some have gone so far as to conduct research that erroneously has been interpreted to indicate that when we think we are making a decision, actually the brain mechanically made that decision a split second earlier, and our entire lifetime experience of making decisions and intentionally conducting our actions is just an illusion. Such research is fatally flawed, however, because it depends on the false assumption that people accurately estimate the precise split-second timing of mental events and accurately report it through a behavioral response.
As anyone with a clear understanding of the relevant psychophysiology and psychophysics knows, that assumption is baseless and demonstrably false. The uncertainty, time lag, and errors in reporting of the timing of mental events through behavioral responses is longer than the discrepancies between mental and neurological events that the research purports to measure. In short, the underlying assumption of such research – that mental events happen at the precise time when one estimates and reports them – does not match reality.
Based on the untenable perspective arising from that false assumption, some have erroneously concluded that we only have the illusion of free will, agency, and decision-making capacity. According to the Materialist Paradigm of which such conceptions are a part, our experience of living our lives as we choose is nothing but an illusion created by the inexorable mechanical functioning of the brain. Fortunately for us as human beings, that assumption is not only contradictory to our experience. It also has been amply disproven by research in psychophysiology and neuroscience as well as quantum physics.
Quantum Mechanics Contradicts the Materialist Paradigm
If you are reading this book, you undoubtedly think that you can choose to make a difference in your life and in the world around you. For the last 400 years, however, the ruling scientific paradigm has held otherwise. Scientists over centuries collected voluminous scientific evidence that appeared to show that the universe, including human beings and human brains, worked deterministically like clockwork.
Quantum mechanics and relativity physics opened the door to changing all of that. Heisenberg’s famous uncertainty principle holds that we cannot know exactly where all the particles are and where they are headed. The universe does not continue endlessly, predictably like clockwork, independently of our participation in observing it. We can’t simply sit back, uninvolved, look at things, and accurately predict the future.
Quantum mechanics recognizes that the observer influences the observed. The process of observation influences whatever physical phenomena we are observing. When we observe elementary particles, we engage with those elementary particles, and that influences their future course.
The universe is not made up of little particles, little billiard-ball-like objects. It is made up of quantum-mechanical particle/wave phenomena that paradoxically behave both like particles and like waves.
Moreover, we have a choice as to how we are going to observe or measure – that is, to experience – these particle/wave phenomena. If we set up a scientific apparatus to detect particles in a system, we will detect particles. If we set up a scientific apparatus to detect waves in the same system, we will detect waves. What is striking about this is that the “particle” system will behave very differently from the “wave” system, and the only difference is how we look at it.
It gets even stranger. Before we make a quantum-mechanical observation, there aren’t little particles out there waiting to be observed. Before we make an observation, there are only abstract probability distributions. The particles or waves – with the physical qualities of mass, velocity, etc. – only show up when we observe them.
As the great mathematician Jon von Neumann pointed out in his seminal book Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, this applies not only to physics apparatus but to our daily experience of life. In a very real sense, we are creating our experience of the external world by how we look at it.
If this seems incomprehensible, it is because it doesn’t make sense according to our common-sense notions of what the world looks like. As von Neumann observed, “In mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them.” This certainly applies to the advanced mathematics involved in quantum mechanics.
A detailed explanation of this phenomenon is beyond the scope of this book.5
For now, suffice it to say that advances in quantum mechanics and relativity physics have contradicted the clockwork universe of the Materialist Paradigm and opened up the scientific possibility that as conscious human beings we have a choice as to how we will create our lives and the world around us.
It is scientifically possible that we, as conscious human beings, have the capacity to create our lives and to create the world around us that we would like to live in.
Our Role in the Universe of the Conscious Unified Field
Great spiritual leaders have said that we are the pilots of our destiny. The wisest of the present-day experts on success and living have agreed. Many wise and brilliant people in ancient and modern times have developed techniques for living life to the fullest that depend on the fundamental premise that we can indeed consciously influence not only our own lives but the world around us.
The science of quantum mechanics has opened up the possibility that this view is scientifically correct. Some of the great scientists in the field of quantum mechanics have concluded – but not proven – that this is the case. Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, put it this way:
So let us see whether we cannot draw the correct, non-contradictory conclusion from the following two premises:
(i) My body functions as a pure mechanism according to the Laws of Nature.
(ii) Yet I know, by incontrovertible direct experience, that I am directing its motions, of which I foresee the effects, that may be fateful and all important, in which case I feel and take responsibility for them.
The only possible inference from these two facts is, I think, that I — I in the widest meaning of the word, that is to say, every conscious mind that has ever said or felt “I” – am the person, if any, who controls the “motion of the atoms” according to the Laws of Nature.6
Since the physical universe consists entirely of quantum particle/wave phenomena, and since these quantum-mechanical particle/wave phenomena behave according to the laws of probability, commanding the physical universe comes down to influencing the probability distribution of quantum-mechanical events.
My experiment was designed to test, in the scientific laboratory applying rigorous scientific methods, whether or not human beings can consciously influence the probability of quantum-mechanical events. If we can influence the probability of quantum-mechanical events using consciousness intention alone, without any physical intervention, then we can command the universe. After all, the universe is nothing but quantum-mechanical events.
If we can influence the probability distribution of quantum mechanical events, then indeed all the great spiritual and inspirational teachers of the past and present have been right. We truly are in command of our own destiny and our universe. We truly can create the life and the world we desire.
If not, then we are simply automatons. All our thoughts and actions are simply predetermined, automatic (albeit complex) responses to whatever happens to us. Materialists and strict behavioral psychologists are right. Our notions that we are making meaningful decisions and creating our lives are simply an illusion.
That is what the Conscious Unified Field Experiment was designed to test scientifically: Can you really take command not only of our own life but of the world around you, and create the life of your dreams?
Since you are reading this book, you probably already have a clear intuitive sense of the correct answer to that question, and a deep commitment to applying that answer in your life. What is new here is that we put this question to the test scientifically. We have answered this scientific question through rigorous scientific research, at the level of the subatomic particle/wave phenomena of quantum physics. Since I’m writing this book, it won’t come as a surprise to you that the scientific proof I report here will prove that your intuition is right and your commitment is reality-based and valuable.
What This Book Is About
My previous book7 presented new scientific evidence for a view of reality that lends itself to practical application in human life: The universe is not a thing, or a collection of things. The universe is an experience. Reality is an experience. Life is an experience. Your unbounded consciousness is the foundation and creator of that experience. You can create any experience you desire.
Many people read my previous book and had responses like this: “Ok, I’m convinced of all that. Very interesting. And all that, plus a few dollars, will get me an excellent cup of coffee. What does that have to do with my life? If it has something to do with my life, how do I apply it to create the life of my dreams?”
The purpose of this book is to address those questions. This is an account of my scientific and experiential exploration of the field of consciousness and enlightenment, of the brain and how it works, of our role as conscious beings in the physical universe, of neuroscience and quantum physics, and more importantly how all this can be practically applied to create the life you truly desire.
In this book I will refer to some of the known facts and phenomena of neuroscience and quantum physics that support and help to explain the experiences of life that I am describing. I will discuss some of my discoveries and inventions involving the human brain and nervous system, the relationship of consciousness with matter, and our role as conscious beings in the physical universe. Perhaps more importantly, I will discuss some of the practical applications that have arisen from these discoveries and inventions.
This is not, however, a textbook about neuroscience, physics, or biophysics. There are many such available already. This is not a comprehensive account of the neuroscience systems and quantum physics phenomena that I describe. It is not even a comprehensive account of my own discoveries and inventions in neuroscience and quantum physics. That information is available in my publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and in my patents for those who are interested.
This book is a personal account of some realizations I have had and some practical techniques for living and enlivening life, techniques that I have found to be quite wonderful in my own experience and in the lives of my Science of Creating Miracles Training clients. I have included some of the relevant neuroscience and physics so that those of you who also enjoy empirical proof (as I do) will have something more to play with.
This book is an account of what I have learned about how to experience the reality that anything is possible, a practical guide to living life to the fullest.
SuperPosition and Transmutation: A Preview
To get a sense of the Science of Creating Miracles and the experience that the techniques in this book are designed to create in your life, first it’s necessary to briefly describe the quantum-mechanical universe and our role in it.
In the universe of quantum mechanics there are two states of any quantum-mechanical system.
One state is the state before an observation. Before there is an observation, there is nothing there but mathematical probabilities. There is no mass, no velocity, no spin, no charge, no specific location, none of the physical qualities that particles can be observed to display. The particles aren’t there, waiting for us to come along and observe them. All that is there is abstract probabilities adding up to infinite possibilities.
The probability of any particular particle/wave phenomenon being observed in any specific configuration evolves over time, established and set in motion by the previous observation. All possibilities are there simultaneously, until we make the observation and these possibilities collapse into a single particle/wave phenomenon (or a specific state of the relevant field).
The second state of the system is generated by an observation. When we observe an elementary particle/wave phenomenon, all of the infinite possibilities collapse into a single observation, and the concrete qualities of matter and energy arise: mass, velocity, etc. At the precise moment of the observation, we can know the mass, velocity, and location of the particle/wave phenomenon, but only to a limited degree of certainty, limited by Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.
This process of observation that brings into being all the physical qualities of the particle/wave is known as the collapse of the wave function.
The state of the system prior to the conscious observation, when all possibilities are there simultaneously, is known as the state of superposition. In the state of superposition, the Conscious Unified Field is there in all of its infinite possibilities, poised to arise in whatever specific event you may consciously create.
What, then, do we as conscious human beings do in relation to the immense, interactive, interconnected quantum-mechanical system that we call the universe?
We take a state of infinite possibilities – the state of superposition – and by consciously interacting with it we collapse it into one observation, one configuration of quantum-mechanical particles/waves. In other words, we create the unique possibility, the unique outcome, that we experience out of the infinite possibilities that the universe makes available to us.
What we are doing, as conscious human beings, moment to moment in our lives, is encountering a field of infinite possibilities and creating a single experience of life from that. By so doing we also set in motion the probabilities for our future experiences. We are moving the universe from a state of superposition, where all possibilities are there, to a finite possibility that becomes our experience of life.
What the Conscious Unified Field Experiment proved is that we have a choice as to which possibilities we will manifest from the infinite possibilities inherent in the state of superposition.
We are not, however, always aware of that choice. We are not generally fully aware of the power we have to create the life and the universe we choose. We do not always experience ourselves as the creators of our lives. Sometimes it feels like someone or something else external to us is making our life the way it is.
All of the techniques in this book, and all of the techniques I have experienced and taught to my Science of Creating Miracles Training clients, are a means to become conscious of the power we have to create the life we choose. This is about creating the experience – not the idea or the concept or the hope – that we create our lives, the experience that anything is possible, we can make it happen, and we are making it happen. This is the experience – not the idea but the experience – that we are in the process of unfolding the possibilities we choose in life, and all the Laws of Nature in the universe are collaborating with us to make it happen.
Think of the most amazing success you have created in your life, something you achieved that looked impossible or at least highly improbable. Have you ever had an experience like this? You had an inner vision that resonated with you on the deepest level, you knew you could make it happen, and Nature collaborated with you. All kinds of events and resources and serendipitous happenings converged to create what you had envisioned, even in ways no one could have thought of or planned in advance.
SuperPosition
That’s what it is like to tune into the state of infinite possibilities. I like to call it experiencing SuperPosition, consciously tuning into the quantum-mechanical state of superposition, the Conscious Unified Field.
You might think of SuperPosition as your favorite superhero flying through the sky or poised for some impossible feat of magnificence and magic. In fact, you are more powerful than your favorite superhero. They only have power in what they can do. In your state of SuperPosition, you have the power to command the Laws of Nature in the universe to collaborate with you as well.
SuperPosition is an experience, an all-encompassing experience on the level of your consciousness. It’s not a thought or an emotion. There isn’t a cookbook formula that you can follow to reach that state.
SuperPosition is a holographic experience, a state of your whole being.
SuperPosition is the direct experience of the phenomenon that Schrodinger described: “I — I in the widest meaning of the word, that is to say, every conscious mind that has ever said or felt ‘I’ – am the person, if any, who controls the ‘motion of the atoms’ according to the Laws of Nature.”
The techniques you will find in this book are designed to cultivate that experience, to refine the functioning of your nervous system, to give you incrementally deeper experience of your own consciousness and the infinite power it holds.
No one specific technique will get you there instantly or permanently. Integrating the experience of SuperPosition into your life is a process of growth of experience, self-discovery, exploration, insight – and delight.
Transmutation
Many techniques are available today to transform your thoughts, your emotions, your actions, your perceptions, your perspective, your attitude, and your beliefs.
A major focus of this book is Transmutation. Transmutation goes beyond transformation. Rather than transforming your thoughts, emotions, attitudes, perceptions, or beliefs, Transmutation creates a fundamental shift in who is creating the thoughts, emotions, attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs. Transmutation takes place on the level of being, not only on the level of thinking and feeling. This book provides practical techniques for Transmutation that you can apply to create the life you dream of, founded on the level of your being.
Before delving into the practical techniques you can apply in your life, first I’d like to discuss what the Science of Creating Miracles is and to give you a sense of the scientific foundation for this science and these techniques in quantum physics and neuroscience.
3. What is The Science of Creating Miracles?
The Science of Creating Miracles is a practical guide to creating miracles in your own life. It provides a basic understanding of the magnificent role of conscious human beings in the universe in light of the science of quantum mechanics, describes our research that has demonstrated in the scientific laboratory the power of your consciousness to create miracles, and then on that basis introduces proven, scientifically based techniques for using your brain and your consciousness to create miraculous outcomes in every area of human life. This book provides you with practical techniques to use your brain and your consciousness to live the reality that “Anything is possible” in your own life.
Science and Miracles
Miracles used to be thought of as events that violated the laws of science, events that were beyond scientific explanation. Miracles were assumed to be events that were impossible under known scientific laws. In the quantum-mechanical universe, nothing is impossible. In scientific terms, a miracle now is simply an event that is extremely improbable.
Can we create miracles in human life? Can you create miracles in your life? In light of the Conscious Unified Field Experiment, the answer from science now is yes.
In the Conscious Unified Field Experiment that I conducted with my father, we showed that conscious human beings can influence the probability of quantum-mechanical events through consciousness alone. Since the whole physical universe is nothing but quantum-mechanical events, if we can consciously influence these probabilities, we can make highly improbable events happen. In other words, what we proved in the laboratory is that human consciousness can indeed create miracles. In short, the proven scientific reality is that you can create miracles.
The Conscious Unified Field Experiment was a combination of quantum physics and neuroscience. I am a neuroscientist, and my father was an experimental nuclear physicist who specialized in research in quantum mechanics. We used state-of-the art experimental nuclear physics apparatus that he designed and built to conduct our research in quantum mechanics.
The word “quantum” has become quite popular lately. It has been used to mean all kinds of things, some of which have little to do with scientific research in physics. When I use the word “quantum” or the phrases “quantum physics” or “quantum mechanics,” I am referring not to an esoteric concept, but rather to hard science, specifically nuclear physics.
What is unique about the Conscious Unified Field Experiment is that we proved in the laboratory that human consciousness can and does have a direct impact on quantum-mechanical processes, specifically detection of alpha particles emitted by plutonium. This is a very concrete and precise phenomenon, to the extent that anything in the quantum-mechanical world can be precise and concrete.
We proved that, although ordinarily quantum-mechanical processes can only be predicted in terms of probabilities, human beings functioning from the level of consciousness can influence the probability of quantum-mechanical events. We proved in the laboratory that human consciousness can be applied to create improbable or even “impossible” events – that is, miracles.
This introduces the Conscious Unified Field Paradigm, a whole new paradigm in science and human life.8
You Can Create Miracles
The Science of Creating Miracles will teach you practical techniques to create miracles consistently in your life. I have devoted many years of my life to exploring the Science of Creating Miracles, both in the scientific laboratory and in the practical world where we live our lives. This book reveals the practical techniques that I have developed and refined to create the miracles you truly desire in your life, to consciously create the life you truly desire, to live the experience that “Anything is possible.”
The techniques I will show you here are founded in science and proven in the real world. We’ll examine the brain, its different structures and functions, and how to apply what we know of neuroscience to use your amazing brain and your even more amazing consciousness to create miracles in your life. We’ll examine the relationship between the brain and consciousness and how to apply this in life. We’ll explore how quantum physics illuminates our role in the universe and reveals the power we have to create our lives and our surroundings.
