17. Anything Is Possible:
Create Miracles Through Conscious Manifestation
The Conscious Unified Field Paradigm Revisited
The Materialist Paradigm was the ruling paradigm for 400 years. The Materialist Paradigm held that the universe consisted of objects and forces that worked predictably like clockwork. If you could observe the condition of any system, you could predict mechanistically any future state of that system. The basic building blocks of the universe were atoms, small hard objects not unlike tiny baseballs.
The Materialist Paradigm was instrumental in our developing a considerable level of control over the physical universe. It resulted in many advances in science, and in understanding how the human body works on the level of biochemistry and biophysics. Science proceeded in the Materialist Paradigm through reductionism. Any system could be broken down into its constituent parts, and if you knew all the parts and how they interacted, and also knew the present state, you could predict precisely any future state of any system. In the Materialist Paradigm, everything is either inevitable or impossible.
During the last century, the data of quantum physics, relativity physics, and neuroscience have proven to be entirely incompatible with the Materialist Paradigm. The universe does not work like clockwork, independent of our conscious observation of it.
As discussed above, the elementary particle/wave phenomena that make up the physical universe – protons, neutrons, electrons, photons, etc. – are not things. They are not objective events that exist independent of our observing them. They are more like tiny rainbows than tiny baseballs. They are observations. They are empirical experiences.
What we observe depends on how we observe. If we observe a particle/wave phenomenon in such a way as to observe a particle, we observe a particle. If we observe a particle/wave phenomenon in such a way as to observe a wave, we observe a wave.
Before our conscious observation, all that is there is the Conscious Unified Field. There are no protons, neutrons, electrons, or photons. There is only an abstract probability distribution that defines the probability of the outcomes of future observations at particular places and times. The outcomes of the observations are the elementary particle/wave phenomena such as protons and photons. They have specific existence only once the observation is made.
In this way they are like a rainbow: How, when, where, and if you observe them depends on how, when, and where you make the observation.
Our conscious participation is a major factor not just in observing but in creating the universe that we experience. The universe is not a thing. It is not an object. The universe is an experience. Everything in the universe is an experience. As the great physicist Niels Bohr put it: “The task of science is both to extend the range our experience and reduce it to order…in our description of nature the purpose is not to disclose the real essence of phenomena, but only to track down as far as possible relations between the multifold aspects of our experience.”
Eugene Wigner, another Nobel laureate in physics, expressed the reality quite succinctly: "The laws of quantum mechanics cannot be formulated ... without recourse to the concept of consciousness."
This is very different from the universe of the Materialist Paradigm, and very different from what scientists thought science to be up until that time. As Werner Heisenberg, another major contributor to the scientific revolution that brought in the Conscious Unified Field Paradigm, said "Anyone who is not upset upon first hearing about quantum mechanics certainly did not understand it."
The Conscious Unified Field Paradigm has arisen to explain reality as revealed by modern science – particularly quantum physics, relativity physics, and modern neuroscience – and as revealed by many experiences we have as human beings that cannot be explained by the Materialist Paradigm.
The Conscious Unified Field Paradigm recognizes that the fundamental basis and essence of the physical universe is the same as the fundamental basis and essence of human life. The physical universe consists of perturbations or vibrations in the Conscious Unified Field that arise probabilistically in accord with the laws of quantum mechanics. Our essential Nature as human beings is that same unbounded Conscious Unified Field that is also the essence and foundation of physical creation.
The units of time/space in the Conscious Unified Field Paradigm are not objects, forces, or events. The units of time/space in the Conscious Unified Field Paradigm are observations, conscious experiences. The conscious observer is a necessary and fundamental aspect in any observation. As conscious beings we create the universe that we experience through the process of observation.
The Conscious Unified Field Paradigm recognizes that in the quantum-mechanical manifestation of particle/wave phenomena that constitutes the physical universe, anything is possible. Some things are highly probable. Some things are highly improbable. Nothing is impossible, and nothing is inevitable.
We, as conscious human beings, have command of the experience of the universe that we generate. As the Conscious Unified Field Experiment proved, we can consciously choose the outcome. We can consciously affect the probability distribution of the quantum-mechanical events that make up the universe. This takes place to a greater or lesser degree depending on the level of our consciousness.
The Conscious Unified Field Experiment proved to an extremely high level of statistical confidence that we as conscious human beings can influence the probability of quantum-mechanical events using consciousness alone, without physical intervention. Our data showed that this influence is possible down to the elementary particle level in space and matter, and down to the microsecond level in time. Both of these are far beyond what our senses can perceive in time and space. Since our consciousness is that unbounded field of pure consciousness that is the essence and foundation of creation, however, we can have an intentional, conscious impact even at this fundamental, imperceptible level.
We could have chosen any physical process to test the influence of human consciousness. We chose alpha particle emission by plutonium as a dependent variable in our experiment, because the probability distribution in quantum mechanics is extremely well known and well established. We showed that conscious human beings can, through conscious intention alone, influence the probability distribution of quantum-mechanical events at will.
Since the entire universe consists of quantum-mechanical events, the implication of this is that anything is possible. Some things are probable, some things are improbable, and we have the ability to consciously choose among the probabilities that actually manifest.
Again, the Conscious Unified Field paradigm reveals that anything is possible. Some things are more probable, some things are less probable. You have command of these probabilities through your consciousness.
This has practical implications for your life. No doubt you have desires and aspirations to do and experience things that are highly unusual, improbable, or commonly thought to be impossible. No doubt people have told you that your highest dreams and goals and aspirations are unrealistic.
If your goals are magnificent, then certainly it is statistically extremely unlikely that you will achieve them. Statistically, the naysayers are right. So what? Everything that has ever happened in your life is statistically extremely unlikely.
Considering the billions of people in the world, and the billions of places they could have been at any one time, what are the odds that your parents would be at exactly the same place at the same time, the moment they met? Certainly less than one in a million or one in a billion. One in a trillion? One in a quintillion? One in a centillion (10303)? Yet it happened. If it hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t be here. But it did, despite the odds. The same is true of every single event in your own life up to this time.
Every experience you have ever had has been almost – but not quite – infinitely unlikely. The odds are completely irrelevant, because the universe is a well-organized place, and your consciousness has a commanding role in the universe.
The odds of any given spectacularly successful undertaking turning out to be successful are small. But so are the odds of everything else. The odds of the whole universe coming together in such a way that any other specific happening in your life would come about – including the ones that have already happened – are also extremely small.
The odds of your successfully doing any specific extraordinary thing are small. The odds of doing any particular ordinary thing are small also. Say the odds of a very specific, truly particular spectacular success you may envision are one in a quintillion. The odds of doing some very specific ordinary thing instead are one in a quadrillion. So you may as well go for what you really want, not just what you know you can get. The following sections will describe in more detail how to do this, and use your brain and your consciousness to succeed.
Examples of Conscious Manifestation in My Life
Certainly you have experienced many examples of Conscious Manifestation of something improbable or “impossible” in your life. Perhaps if I recount a few of mine, it will remind you of some of yours.
When I was in graduate school, I invented the first brain-computer interface, a device to allow an individual to command a computer (and in my case also to talk through a speech synthesizer) using brainwaves alone. At that time no one had ever successfully developed such a device.
The brain-computer interface (BCI) is a physical device using electrical brain signals, EEG. Unlike the Unified Field Experiment, it is not in and of itself a means for manifestation through consciousness alone.
One day I was minding my own business in my laboratory, and a young man fell off a silo and was paralyzed from the eyeballs down. I was measuring brain responses every day, without any overt indication or communication from the subject other than his brain, so it occurred to me that I could develop a brain-computer interface that would allow a completely paralyzed person to communicate using his brainwaves. In our laboratory we used custom computers and digital signal processors built in the laboratory, and wrote all the software ourselves.
I devised a brain-computer interface (BCI) that has since come to be called the Farwell-Donchin P300 Speller or the Farwell-Donchin BCI. It flashed rows and columns containing the alphabet and certain computer commands on a monitor. When the desired letter or command was flashed, the subject noted it, his brain said “Aha!”, and his brain elicited a P300-MERMER response. (At that time we only knew about and measured the P300 aspect of the response.) In addition to the alphabet, the set of choices included several computer commands such as “Backspace” in case of a mistake and “Speak” to activate a speech synthesizer to speak what the subject had spelled out.
I wrote the software and developed the system late at night in the laboratory. I would glue sensors to my own head (I had not yet developed the convenient headsets we now use). I would start the system from the computer, then run around to the other side of the monitor, plug myself into the EEG amplifiers, and test it out. Many attempts failed. Finally I got the system working, and tested it successfully on some of my friends from the lab and other graduate students.
The first time I tried the system on a real patient, the young man who had fallen off a silo, I could not get clear enough signals for him to speak through the speech synthesizer. Either he wasn’t really awake in there, or the system just wasn’t good enough to detect what he wanted to say.
I showed my invention to Manny Donchin, the head of the department and one of the top leaders in the field of electroencephalography. He took an interest in this and another invention I’ll describe shortly, and he became my mentor and graduate advisor.
Shortly I heard of another patient through my friend and colleague Ted Bashore, then at Medical College of Pennsylvania. Twelve years previously, a young man had been injured in an automobile accident and was paralyzed from the eyeballs down. For twelve years he had been silent. He was able to communicate in a rudimentary way though eye blinks. Someone would go through the alphabet, pointing to each letter in turn, and he would blink when they pointed to the letter he desired to communicate. It was a slow and silent process.
I brought my BCI to Philadelphia to work with Ted. The young man, whom I’ll call Mike, lived at home with his mother and father, and was cared for by day nurses. We set up the equipment, computer, amplifiers, and speech synthesizer by Mike’s bed and carefully explained to him how to operate it.
By that time I had developed a headband with embedded sensors, so the process of connecting to the head was much more convenient for all concerned than what was available when I first developed the system. I placed the headband on Mike’s head.
I remember I was almost breathless with excitement when I started the system. I liked publishing in scientific journals, but this was much more important. Now I’d get a chance to make a difference in someone’s life with my invention.
It didn’t work. The signals we were receiving were indistinguishable from random noise.
At that point, I could have thrown in the towel. It was very clear that the system was not working. Moreover, no one had ever succeeded in creating a brain-computer interface, let alone one that worked in a real clinical setting with a paralyzed person. The probability of success, objectively, was near zero.
Instead of accepting defeat, I chose instead to ask myself some questions. One question that I did not ask was, “What is the probability of success?” I did ask these:
First, I reminded myself of who I am; “How would the real Larry Farwell, the one you know yourself to be, think about this? What would the real Larry Farwell do?”
“Is the brainwave phenomenon I’m measuring real and reliable?” Yes.
“Is it possible, at least theoretically, to measure this phenomenon accurately?” Yes.
“Will it make a difference in Mike’s life and his mother’s life if you succeed in doing this?” Yes.
“What would it be like, for you and Mike and his mother, to experience this actually working?”
I got a holographic sense of what it would be like for this to work, for Mike to get to say something out loud to his mother after twelve years of silence. I was inspired by that, and yet I still had no idea how to do it.
Then something occurred to me that I had not thought of before. Human eyes are electrically charged, so when you move your eyes, it sends signals across the scalp that interfere with the brainwaves my BCI was measuring. There are mathematical ways to correct for that later in data analysis, but to develop a communication system we needed clean brainwaves in real time, not sometime later. Maybe the signals from Mike’s brain were clear, but they were contaminated by electrical signals from his eyes.
I realized I could build a system that would detect the electrical signals coming from Mike’s eye movements and subtract these signals at a variable gain from the brainwave signals we were measuring. I could adjust the gain so that this additional system would exactly cancel out the interference of the eye-generated artifacts with the real brainwaves.
I phoned an electrical engineering tech in our lab, and he told me the electrical components I would need to build such a system, and how to put them together. The next morning I drove to Radio Shack, bought the necessary components, and built the system.
The next day we returned to Mike’s house, and set up the system again, along with the new component. I started the system, and felt myself breathing very quietly as the matrix flashed on the monitor in front of Mike. I could see from my computer display that the brainwaves were much clearer than before.
After a few minutes, a metallic voice emerged from the speech synthesizer, “Hello Mom, how are you?” Mike’s mother came running in from the kitchen with tears in her eyes. I ran out into the front yard, and did a flying kung fu kick. I could see in Mike’s eyes that he would have been grinning if he could.
Now there are thousands of scientists working with brain-computer interfaces around the world, many of them applying the same original algorithm I used with Mike or variations on it.
I could see that the turning point was when I ignored the odds, and envisioned the possibility. I have experienced the same phenomenon again and again in my personal and professional life.
After inventing the brain-computer interface, I thought to myself, “What more could we do with this technology?” I realized that there were other situations where it was important to know what was going on in someone’s brain, when they weren’t expressing it or when we didn’t know if they were expressing it accurately.
We could use this in criminal investigations, intelligence, and counterterrorism. When a person plans or commits a crime or a terrorist act, or even when he is trained as a terrorist or bomb maker, certain information is stored in his brain.
Immediately after the crime, a guilty suspect knows who he is and what he has done. An innocent suspect who did not participate knows nothing of the crime. I decided to develop a system that would detect this concealed information stored in the brain.
At first I had no idea how to do it, but somehow I knew it could be done. I remember a conversation in the lab, after about the hundredth failed attempt, with two of the engineers in the lab. One of them said, “Do you know what you’re doing?” Before I could answer, the other engineer, who knew me well, said, “Of course not. But that’s never stopped him before.” I realized he was right.
Once again I spent late nights in the lab with sensors on my head. Once again, after many failed attempts, the system worked. Once again I tested it on my friends and colleagues. That was the origin of Brain Fingerprinting.
As discussed above, Brain Fingerprinting detects the record of a crime or other situation under investigation stored in the brain, or the lack of that record in the brain of someone who lacks inside knowledge of the crime. The system presents words or pictures on a computer screen. Some of these contain details of the crime that are known only to the perpetrator and investigators. They are presented in a series along with other, irrelevant words or pictures.
When the perpetrator sees the crime-relevant details, he has an “Aha!” response. His brain emits a corresponding brainwave pattern, a P300-MERMER. We measure this pattern, and thus determine whether or not the incriminating information tested is stored in the suspect’s brain.
Of course, it is important to test only information that is known only to the perpetrator and investigators, not information that was available to the public through news stories or information that a particular suspect has some innocent way of knowing.
The test can only be applied in cases where such information known only to the perpetrator and investigators exists. According to FBI scientist Dr. Drew Richardson, who tested Brain Fingerprinting with me at the FBI, such information is available in about 70% – 80% of cases. By contrast, fingerprints and DNA, which are also accurate methods of connecting a perpetrator with a crime scene, are available in only about 1% of cases.
After a couple years of applying Brain Fingerprinting in the laboratory, I decided it was time to do something with it in the real world. I decided to go to Washington, DC and get a million-dollar contract with the CIA to prove the system in the field. I talked with some of my friends and colleagues about my plan. The answers I got ranged from “Are you crazy?” to “You are crazy.”
I remember one of my well-meaning friends, who knew much more about such things than I did, asking me some leading questions meant to inspire more reasonable thinking on my part. First, he pointed out that I did not have a PhD yet. I was a graduate student. I did not have my own laboratory. I did not have patents (which I did later obtain). I did not have employees or technical staff to carry out the project. I did not have my own EEG equipment. I didn’t even own a single computer.
I would be competing against some formidable people and institutions. Westinghouse had obtained a million-dollar contract, on which I was a consultant, to port my system to a more user-friendly platform. They would be competing with me for the next contract. Several other professors in major universities had also obtained CIA contracts to attempt to do what I was doing, and would be competing for the next contract as well. I would be competing with some of the top scientists in the field, major scientists in private companies and university professors with their own laboratories, equipment, and staff. Several of them had already received similar contracts with the CIA and other government agencies to pursue this kind of work.
He asked me, “In the history of the US, to your knowledge has any graduate student, without a PhD, or a lab, or employees, or equipment, or patents, with nothing but an idea, ever obtained a contract – even a $10,000 contract – with the CIA or any other US government agency, for any purpose, let alone for a new invention?” No.
“So, what are your chances of succeeding in getting a million-dollar contract from the CIA for your invention?”
“You are throwing away your scientific career. If you leave now, you will never get a PhD – especially if you have the audacity to compete with your own professor for a major contract. What you are contemplating amounts to professional suicide. You might as well start practicing now for your next job, ‘Do you want fries with that?’”
I asked myself some different questions:
“Does my Brain Fingerprinting invention work?” Yes.
“Is it truly effective and accurate?” Yes.
“What difference will it make when I prove it in the real world, in major government agencies like the FBI and the CIA?”
Here is the difference that Brain Fingerprinting makes. For as long as there has been civilization, there have been criminals and innocent suspects, and there have been attempts to determine who is which one of these.
Until now, in order to get away with any crime, or in order to continue to carry out terrorism, a criminal had to do two things. (1) He had to make sure that there was no physical evidence connecting him to the crime. This could sometimes be accomplished by the hands-on perpetrators, and routinely was accomplished by criminal and terrorist masterminds. (2) He had to make sure that either he was the only one who knew he was involved in the crime, or that everyone else who knew was silenced in one way or another. They might be silent because they were co-conspirators, or because they were bribed, threatened, or killed.
On the other hand, until now, an innocent suspect who knew that he was innocent, and who had been uninvolved in the crime, often had no way of proving that he was innocent.
It is not the case that no one knew who were the perpetrators and who were innocent suspects. The perpetrators always know who they are and what they have done. The innocent suspects know who they are, and lack inside knowledge of what the perpetrators have done. Since this information is stored in their brains, however, until Brain Fingerprinting it had been inaccessible to investigation.
Now, with Brain Fingerprinting, the situation is entirely different than it ever has been. Now, when a perpetrator or planner of a crime or terrorist act knows what he has done – even if no one else knows or all who know are silent – investigators can also know. We can detect the record of the crime stored in the perpetrator’s or planner’s brain. No matter how carefully he controls the situation and the people involved, since the invention of Brain Fingerprinting no perpetrator can set it up so he can’t be detected.
Now, an innocent suspect who did not participate in the crime can say, “I didn’t do it. I wasn’t there. I don’t know the details of what happened. Give me a Brain Fingerprinting test, and I’ll prove it.”
In light of this, I asked myself some more questions:
“What will it be like when Brain Fingerprinting is established in the world? What difference will this make?”
“What will it be like for you, making such a contribution?”
I got a holographic sense of what that would be like for others – investigators, crime victims and their loved ones, potential crime victims who will be spared when the perpetrators are brought to justice, innocent suspects, and others. I got a holographic sense – in my intuition and pineal, my prefrontal cortex, my limbic system – of what that would be like for me. I was inspired by the possibility.
I did not think about the near-zero probability of success. I thought about the possibility. Anything is possible.
I went to Washington DC; got a million-dollar contract with the CIA; set up my own lab, bought the necessary equipment, and hired the necessary people; conducted research at the CIA, the FBI, and the US Navy; ran hundreds of Brain Fingerprinting tests and got the correct result in every case; returned to school for a month, completed my dissertation and my exams, and got my PhD; patented my invention; returned to Harvard as a research associate; and left to form my own company, Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories, Inc. All that grew from the one seed in my consciousness when I intuited what it would be like to make my invention a reality in the real world.
My first experience in testifying as an expert witness and applying Brain Fingerprinting as scientific evidence in court was similar.
I got a call from a friend of Terry Harrington, an inmate who had been convicted of murder and had served 23 years of a life sentence. She said that she was convinced that Harrington was innocent, and asked if I could use Brain Fingerprinting to prove it.
I had previously used Brain Fingerprinting to bring serial killer J.B. Grinder to justice. In the Grinder case, however, we had not had to go through a trial. After Brain Fingerprinting proved that he had the record of the murder of Julie Helton stored in his brain, he was faced with certain conviction and very likely a death sentence. He pled guilty in exchange for a sentence of life in prison, and also confessed to the murders of three other young women.
In the Harrington case, however, in order to make a difference I would not only have to run a successful Brain Fingerprinting test on him, I would also have to obtain a ruling of admissibility in court for the technique and the science behind it.
I agreed to talk to Harrington. He told me he was innocent, and he would do anything to prove it.
I told Harrington that Brain Fingerprinting could help, if we could find some salient details about the crime that he had never been exposed to at the trial or in interrogations. I interviewed Harrington and numerous witnesses, examined crime-scene photos, sifted through voluminous evidence from the investigation and the trial, and visited the crime scene. (This scene obviously was not the same as at the time of the crime, but still had the same essential layout with respect to where the buildings, streets, railroad tracks, etc. were located.)
I did indeed find a number of very salient details about the crime to which Harrington had not been exposed in the trial, including where the perpetrators went to get from where the crime started to where it finished, where they went after the shooting, what they had to traverse to get to the getaway car, what was behind the victim when he was shot, etc.
Without telling Harrington what was the right answer in each of these facts, I asked him if he knew any of these things. He said he did not. I also collected extensive evidence about his alibi from alibi witnesses.
I ran the Brain Fingerprinting test on Harrington. It showed definitively, with a 99.9% statistical confidence, that the record stored in his brain did not match the crime scene, and did match his alibi.
Harrington filed a petition for post-conviction relief based on the Brain Fingerprinting evidence and other exculpatory evidence. A hearing was scheduled to present the evidence.
Harrington had already lost five trials, three at the state level including the Iowa Supreme Court, and two at the federal level. He had exhausted his appeals, and the petition for post-conviction relief was his only remaining option.
As the hearing approached, the odds for success did not look good. Not only had he lost five previous trials; this was Pottawattamie County, Iowa, a place not known for open mindedness to new ideas. I was scheduled to present a new scientific technology that had never been presented in court before. His attorneys, Mary Kennedy and Tom Frierichs, were taking the case pro bono, as I was. They were skilled and dedicated, but had limited resources.
The State of Iowa was loaded for bear. They had a substantial staff dedicated to building their case. The prosecuting attorney was intelligent, vicious, determined to win, and unencumbered by any concern for truth or justice. Scheduled to testify against me was Manny Donchin, who was my own mentor and dissertation advisor and one of the top scientists in the field.
I found myself looking at the probability of winning, and realizing it was very slim. I knew that if we lost, it would be a huge blow to the cause of Brain Fingerprinting, the cause of justice, and to me. I found myself thinking about the potential impact to my own reputation and stature as a scientist. Once again, it appeared that I was committing professional suicide.
I found myself wishing that the opposing expert witness would have car trouble on the way to the courtroom, and not show up. I began to consider not showing up myself, or cancelling the hearing on some excuse.
When I found myself entertaining those two thoughts, I was shocked. I hadn’t imagined I was capable of such small, selfish, and negative thinking. This created a MERMER moment for me. After reminding myself who I really am, I asked myself some questions:
“What would the real Larry Farwell ask himself?”
“Does Brain Fingerprinting really work? Is it truly accurate and scientific?” Yes.
“Does it provide definitive evidence of Harrington’s innocence?” Yes.
“Does Brain Fingerprinting meet the standard for legal admissibility as scientific evidence?” Yes.
“If you testify and justice prevails, what will be the outcome?”
An innocent man will be freed after 23 years of false imprisonment, and will spend the rest of his life as a free man.
“What will that be like for others – Harrington, his loved ones, and other people in the future who will benefit from the legal precedent?”
It will make a life-changing difference for at least a few people, and perhaps for many.
“What will that be like for you?”
I got an intuitive, holographic sense of what that outcome would be like for me and for others. Once again I was inspired.
I had no interest in winning by default. I wanted the opposing expert witness to show up, so when truth prevailed not only would one innocent man be freed, there also would be a strong and comprehensive record that could benefit future cases. I did not consider the probability of losing, only the possibility of winning and making a difference.
I consulted extensively with Harrington’s attorneys, Mary Kennedy and Tom Frerichs and also with my attorney, Tom Makeig. Makeig was responsible for educating me as to the necessary way to present the science so that it would be obvious to the judge that the science meets the standard for legal admissibility. Kennedy provided much of the legal research and preparation. Frerichs successfully argued the case in court.
I took another step as well. I tracked down Kevin Hughes, the only alleged witness to the crime, whose testimony had been a major strength in the case against Harrington. In the trial he had sworn that Harrington committed the murder, and he had been an accomplice. He had stuck to that story for 23 years.
When I confronted Hughes with the Brain Fingerprinting test results exonerating Harrington, at first he stuck to his story. Again and again he recounted the story he had told at trial. I kept telling him that Harrington’s brain said something different.
Finally he recanted. He admitted that neither he nor Harrington had anything to do with the crime. He was 17 years old at the time of the crime. Like Harrington, he was Black, and this was Pottawattamie County, Iowa. He was in jail awaiting trial on five lesser crimes involving auto theft, crimes he had in fact committed. He told me that the investigators had told him that if he didn’t implicate someone else, they would send him to prison for life for murder.
So he had made an accusation. When the investigators went to investigate the individual he had accused, they found he had been in jail at the time of the crime. They came back to Hughes, and told him that accusation was wrong, and they needed a better one. Hughes then implicated Harrington, who was a friend of his. Hughes told me that the investigators then told him all about the crime, took him to the crime scene, and coached him so that his testimony at trial would match the known evidence.
I immediately drove Hughes to the office of a court reporter and obtained all of those statements on video and under oath. This became a part of the record in the Harrington case.
I went to the hearing. It was brutal, as expected. The prosecuting attorney and the opposing witness performed quite effectively. Being cross examined by the prosecuting attorney was not fun.
I got a chance, however, to explain the truth and the scientific proof of that truth, and the attorneys on my side did a spectacular job.
When all was said and done, the judge had no choice but to rule in favor of admitting Brain Fingerprinting as scientific evidence. The science met the Daubert standard: It had been tested and proven; it had been peer reviewed and published; it had a known and low rate of error; and it was well accepted in the scientific community.
In a separate hearing, Hughes’s recantation was also admitted as evidence.
The judge stopped short of granting Harrington a new trial, however, on the grounds that the Brain Fingerprinting evidence, though scientifically sound and legally admissible, would not likely have changed the outcome of the original trial had it been available then. His ruling on Hughes’s recantation was the same.
Harrington appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court. The Supreme Court granted him a new trial, based on a constitutional rights violation in the initial trial. The Supreme Court left in place the law of the case, including the admissibility of Brain Fingerprinting as scientific evidence. In light of the Brain Fingerprinting results, the recantation of the key witness, and the other new evidence exonerating Harrington, the state elected not to try him again.
Harrington is now a free man. He went on to sue the city, the county, and in effect the state for framing him. The case was appealed up to the level of the US Supreme Court. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, but before it was heard, the county settled out of court and paid $12 million to Harrington and a co-defendant who was also falsely convicted.
An innocent man is free, and a new scientific technology has been added to the arsenal of the criminal justice system. This is an invention that I hope and believe will free many other innocents as well as bring criminals and terrorists to justice in the coming years.
My role in all of that grew from the seed in consciousness that originated in the moment of truth I had when considering the possibilities.
You, my friend, have no doubt had similar experiences in your own life, times when you had an inner vision of something improbable or impossible, went ahead despite the odds, and saw your vision manifest for the benefit of yourself and others. You can look forward to having that experience repeatedly in the future.
In this chapter we will look at this phenomenon in some more detail, and see how this kind of experience in life can be inspired, nourished, and brought to fruition.
Conscious Manifestation and the Conscious Unified Field
In my view, the Conscious Unified Field Paradigm is the scientific paradigm that most closely matches all of the scientific data and human experience that we have accumulated to date. It recognizes that anything is possible. Human beings can command Nature through consciousness alone. Any conceivable event has a non-zero probability of manifesting. As human beings we have the power to function from the level of the Conscious Unified Field to manifest that possibility, even when the probability is low.
The Conscious Unified Field Experiment proved this in the laboratory, showing that consciousness can command quantum particle/wave phenomena to a highly statistically significant degree, down to the elementary particle level and the microsecond level.
The degree to which our awareness is in tune with the Conscious Unified Field determines the degree to which we can manifest. If we desire an apple, we can manifest this on different levels depending on our level of consciousness. On the most superficial and mechanical level, we can go to work, make some money, drive to the store, hand the money to the cashier, and we have an apple in our hand. With a higher level of consciousness, we may have the thought, “I’d really like an apple,” and just then Nature organizes it so we walk under an apple tree or an apple truck drives by, and an apple falls into our hands.
With a very high level of consciousness, we may have the thought, “I’d like an apple,” and an apple manifests in our hands. The quantum-mechanical probability of such an event is low, so manifesting it takes a correspondingly high level of consciousness. Miracles are simply improbable events, commanded by a very high level of consciousness.
If the essential Nature of every human being is unbounded consciousness, the Conscious Unified Field, which creates and commands all of creation, then why doesn’t everyone always have everything they desire?
The degree to which Conscious Manifestation takes place depends on several factors. First and foremost, Conscious Manifestation depends on consciousness. The most important determining factor in the success of Conscious Manifestation is an individual’s level of consciousness.
Throughout history there have been highly evolved individuals who have been able to produce miracles, or, in the terms of quantum physics, to consciously choose highly improbable outcomes from among the infinite possibilities present at any one time and place in the Conscious Unified Field. When an individual’s awareness is expanded to encompass the full Nature of the Self, when an individual’s awareness is fully established in the Conscious Unified Field, then every impulse in one’s consciousness, every desire and intention, has the support of the infinite power of unbounded intelligence, and comes to fruition instantly.
When your awareness encompasses the entire ocean, then any impulse in your consciousness creates a corresponding wave in the ocean. More precisely, any impulse in your consciousness is a wave in the ocean. When your awareness is fully established in the Conscious Unified Field, then any impulse in your consciousness creates a corresponding particle/wave phenomenon arising in the Conscious Unified Field. There is no separation between desire, intention, and outcome.
Since the essential Nature of life is consciousness, all of us have some level of attunement with the Conscious Unified Field. We are all to some degree in tune with our own essential Nature as infinite beings. The degree to which we are fully conscious is the degree to which Conscious Manifestation can take place.
Conscious Manifestation, Transmutation, and SuperPosition
Transmutation, SuperPosition, and Conscious Manifestation are experiences. Like all experiences, they take place in the field of your consciousness.
Transmutation is the experience that opens your awareness to the state of SuperPosition. SuperPosition is the experience of your power to create Conscious Manifestation. SuperPosition arises spontaneously and effortlessly from the experience of Transmutation. Conscious Manifestation arises spontaneously and effortlessly from the experience of SuperPosition.
How to Raise Your Level of Consciousness
The fundamental task of the nervous system is to reflect consciousness. Anything we do to improve the functioning of the nervous system will develop consciousness. Anything we do to harm the functioning of the nervous system will interfere with the development of consciousness.
There are numerous things you can do to raise your level of consciousness. Anything that positively influences the functioning of your nervous system serves to raise consciousness. This includes eating a healthy diet; regular exercise, particularly exercise that develops not only strength and endurance but also mind-body coordination, balance, and integration; sufficient sleep and rest; avoiding toxic chemicals, emotions, situations, and people; and in general living a healthy lifestyle.
The purpose of practices such as hatha yoga and tai chi is to refine the nervous system as well as the body, and thus to develop consciousness.
Recent research has shown definitively that play improves the functioning of the nervous system. Play consists of engaging in fun, enjoyable, challenging, entertaining activities – having fun for its own sake, when nothing important depends on the outcome. This allows the nervous system to grow and develop, without the stress of a possible failure that is always present in more serious circumstances.
Some methods of meditation also develop consciousness. Different types of meditation have different kinds of benefits. There are three basic types of meditation: focused attention, open monitoring, and automatic self-transcending. Each of these three types of meditation involves different characteristic mental activity, and consequently results in different characteristic brainwave patterns that have been measured in the laboratory.
Numerous techniques of these three kinds have been studied in scientific laboratories. The three different sets of physiological responses, three different brainwave patterns, and three different sets of benefits of practice have been comprehensively measured and documented in the scientific literature.
Focused attention techniques involve voluntary control of attention and cognitive processes. They include loving-kindness-compassion meditation and some forms of Qigong, Zen, and Buddhist meditation. Open monitoring techniques involve dispassionate, non-evaluative awareness of ongoing experience. These include Vipassana meditation, mindfulness meditation, some types of Zen meditation (Zazen), Sahaja Yoga, and some types of Qigong. Automatic self-transcending techniques involve automatic transcending of the procedures of the meditation practice. They include Transcendental Meditation; also, in one study an individual with 45 years of practice of Qigong reportedly attained the same experiential and physiological state and corresponding brainwave patterns.
The three different types of meditation techniques not only produce three different physiological states and characteristic brainwave patterns. They also have substantially different benefits in life. Focused attention and open monitoring techniques help to train you to use your mind, intellect, and emotions in better ways. They provide methods of applying the level of consciousness that you have.
Automatic self-transcending techniques such as Transcendental Meditation directly develop higher states of consciousness. Such techniques effortlessly and spontaneously open your awareness to the inner field of pure consciousness, the Conscious Unified Field.
Scientific research has shown that these techniques also produce unique physiological changes, fundamentally different from those of usual daily life or other types of meditation. As your mind spontaneously settles to a state of silence, your body gains a deep state of rest, deeper than sleep. Deep-rooted stresses in the nervous system are dissolved by this deep rest, resulting in overall improved functioning of the nervous system.
I first learned the Transcendental Meditation technique (TM) when I was a student at Harvard, and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi came there to give a lecture on the technique. I spent several years with Maharishi. He personally trained me as a TM teacher, and I have taught several hundred people the technique. I have seen in my own experience, and the experience of every one of the people I have taught, that Transcendental Meditation does raise one’s level of consciousness and has many other scientifically documented benefits as well.
That said, the development of higher states of consciousness is beyond the scope of this book – or any book. The experience of higher states of consciousness is something that must be taught and learned through direct experience, not read in a book.
How to Develop Skill in Conscious Manifestation
Conscious Manifestation is an effective way to create the life you truly desire, to create a life that resonates with your inner love, your highest aspirations, your most precious desires, a life that is thrilling on every level.
Conscious Manifestation is not, however, a concrete technique that can be specified in steps and followed like a cookbook. If it were, we would all have manifested everything we desire long ago. I’m not going to offer a cookbook solution, because that is not the level on which Conscious Manifestation takes place. Conscious Manifestation is a way of spontaneously living life. Numerous facets of life, vibrating in harmony, make up this phenomenon.
Regular experience of Transmutation and SuperPosition naturally generates the growth of your skill in Conscious Manifestation.
Anything you do to raise your level of consciousness enhances your skill in Conscious Manifestation. In addition to one’s level of consciousness, several other factors have a major influence on the success of Conscious Manifestation: inner resonance and integration, clarity of vision, depth of experience, effortlessness, and support of Nature.
All of these factors are enhanced by your regular experience of Transmutation and SuperPosition.
Developing an awareness of what these factors are and the role they play in your experience of life serves to enliven these factors and thus to enhance your ability for Conscious Manifestation.
Inner Resonance and Integration
Many people are aware of the mechanics of how we create our lives. First, we have an inner vision, then it is manifested both through actions we take on the level of overt speech and behavior, and through resonance. We spontaneously attract in our environment that which resonates with what we create within. This understanding has led to many practices involving positive thinking, affirmations, focusing on inner desires and intentions and/or outwardly stated desires and intentions, and the like. Obviously, thinking and saying positive things has some benefit for life. Such an approach also has some inevitable shortcomings, however.
Such activity takes place on the level of the mind and the intellect. Attempting to manifest through use of the mind and the intellect is like trying to program a computer with a sledgehammer. It may have the desired effect, or little effect, or in some cases the opposite of the desired effect.
The advantage of using the intellect is that it can be controlled. Through effort and focus, one can hold the intellect to a particular assigned task with brute force of will. There are several difficulties with such an approach. One difficulty with focusing on affirmations, stated intentions, etc. is that we attract what we resonate with on all levels – including emotions and intuition – not just the intellect. In an effort to attract wealth, one may intentionally think “I am wealthy,” while experiencing the emotion of the pain of lack of wealth.
Engaging in such an affirmation may actually bring one’s attention to how one feels about it right now, and the actual emotional feeling may be one of lack, the opposite of what is desired. We attract what we resonate with, so the external situation attracted by such a phenomenon will be the want of wealth and the experience of its lack. The same can be true for love, connection, and relationship. If the intellect states a desire or intention, and the emotions are not fully resonating with it, what is attracted will be a mixed result at best.
Similarly, you may have been told all your life that you will be most valuable if you pursue a business career, and you may have internalized this on the level of the intellect, but what really makes your heart sing is dancing. Or maybe you’ve been pressured to be a famous dancer, and you’d really prefer to do bookkeeping or beekeeping or gardening or stock trading.
No amount of focusing on what your intellect defines as success will create that in your life, because you as a whole aren’t resonating with that. The emotions are a deeper level of life than the intellect, and you are more likely to attract what you emotionally feel than what the intellect is trying to command – whether that feeling is of the presence of something desirable, the lack of something desirable, or the presence of something undesirable.
In neurophysiological terms, the prefrontal cortex can’t do it alone. If the limbic system is feeling something different or even opposite from what the prefrontal cortex is trying to command, the result will be less than successful.
This is why integration and inner resonance are a prerequisite for using the principle of resonance to attract what we desire. As you practice Transmutation Trigger and Energized Transmutation, you will become increasingly aware of the workings of the intellect and the emotions and what these different aspects of yourself are enlivening. With this increased awareness spontaneously comes increased synchronicity between these levels of yourself, and increased ability to consciously choose and create your inner state. As your intellect and your emotions come more into mutual resonance, you will spontaneously attract experiences, events, and people that resonate with this.
Inner resonance with the intuition is even more vital than inner resonance between the intellect and the emotions. Your intuition is a finer, subtler, and more powerful level of life than the intellect and the emotions.
Finer levels of creation are more powerful. You can take a piece of wood at the superficial physical level, and apply it as a working tool. Going to the chemical level, you can burn it, and release much more energy. If you go to the subatomic level and create a nuclear reaction, this same amount of matter will release many times more energy.
So it is with the levels of human consciousness. The closer to the Conscious Unified Field, the more powerful. Your intuition is closer to the field of pure consciousness than the intellect and the emotions, and thus creates a much more powerful influence in Nature.
Resonance with the intuition brings an extremely powerful level of life to your experience of Conscious Manifestation. As you practice Transmutation Trigger and particularly Energized Transmutation, your awareness will become more and more expanded and refined, more connected with the all-knowingness of the Conscious Unified Field. You will become more and more conscious of your intuition and the knowledge and insight it brings to light. Spontaneously your intellect and your emotions will begin to resonate more and more with your intuition.
Your intuition reveals to you, on a quiet yet powerful level, what truly, deeply inspires you in life, what resonates with the deeper, more precious levels of you. When your life is out of sync with your subtle intuitive sense of what really resonates with the true you, then anything you attempt to do or accomplish will lack this most important vital force.
Resonating with your intuition is very close to resonating with the infinite power of the Conscious Unified Field. Your intuition puts you in touch with the finest level of creation that your awareness can fathom. It gives you the guidance that is most in tune with Nature, your own Nature and the Nature of the universe.
What does your intuition feel like? That can’t really be put into words. You’ll know it when you experience it. Some situations, people, events, and places resonate with you on a deep, quiet level. You have a sense of knowing that this is right, inspiring, comfortable, fulfilling, quietly thrilling. You feel enlivened and delighted. You feel increasing clarity.
Other situations, people, events, and places do not resonate with your intuition. In their presence you feel a sense of discomfort, caution, confusion, fear, or dread. You have probably learned to trust these quiet feelings, even when there is no concrete reason for them that you can identify with the intellect.
When you have a desire that spontaneously resonates at the deep intuitive level, that deeply inspires and thrills you, and your intellect and emotions are also resonating in the same vibration, then this creates the maximum resonance with Nature to attract what you desire. The more inner resonance you have, the more integration between your cerebral cortex, your limbic system, and your pineal and associated systems, the more powerfully you radiate a vibratory influence that resonates with and attracts what you desire. Often it will show up in a way that you could not possibly have foreseen with the intellect, and to a degree that you did not anticipate or even know to hope for.
Nature can be effortlessly inspired to create anything you desire with your whole being, but it cannot be commanded by any amount of coercion from the intellect alone.
When you are receiving guidance from someone else, do you like to be told what to think and do, or do you prefer to be asked questions and come to the realizations and insights yourself? When you are offering guidance to yourself, would you like to treat yourself in the same way? Does it make sense to you that being gentle and loving toward yourself may be the most effective way to inspire resonance between all the different aspects and levels of you?
In my view this is a key to developing resonance between your intuition, intellect, and emotions. When you get something on the level of your intuition, but you aren’t there yet on the level of intellect or emotions, gentle guidance through leading questions may be the best way to lead yourself there.
When I’m in a state of internal conflict or indecision, or I’m bogged down in negative thinking or emotions, or I don’t appear to be getting what I want, I sometimes ask myself, “How would the real Larry Farwell be inspired to approach this situation? What would the being I truly am – the unbounded, cosmic being –– think, feel, intuitively know, and do?” This helps to put me in touch with my own intuition, with my higher Self, and with Nature. Following this, often a more enlightening and productive series of questions arises spontaneously, as I described in several instances in the previous chapter.
Clarity of Vision
When we are asking Nature to resonate with something and manifest it in our lives, it helps to be clear about what we are envisioning. A vague sense of it is less useful. Clarity is most important on the intuitive level. It is vital to have a clear intuitive sense of what experience in life you are desiring.
Clarity on the intuitive level is not the same thing as specificity on the material level or the level of the intellect. People sometimes express their desires in a form of something like “I want a million dollars.” That may seem clear and specific, but what experience is really desired? Is it living in a beautiful house? Is it freedom to spend your time creating something inspiring? Is it taking care of loved ones? Is it being in a position to use your talents to create a better world? Is it driving fast cars and showing off fancy clothes? Is it impressing other people? Would getting a million-dollar bribe for doing something dishonest fit the bill? What if you had only $100,000 now, plus a situation where you could depend on having that every year, in exchange for doing something really inspiring to earn it?
It’s not just about the desired thing, or event, or situation. What is the desired experience?
With respect to clarity of vision, the important thing is to be clear on is what kind of experience of life you envision, what experience in living resonates with you deeply on every level, what truly inspires you. The concrete, material phenomena that Nature provides to embody that experience may be different from what you initially think.
Internal resonance, and resonance with Nature, depends on being clear what life experience you desire, not just what superficial attributes you think might contribute to that experience. Such clarity is an important factor in creating a resonance within yourself that will attract what is truly fulfilling for you.
Depth of Experience
Conscious Manifestation takes place spontaneously to the degree that your awareness is in tune with the Conscious Unified Field, how close you are to the state of SuperPosition. This depends on your overall level of consciousness, as discussed above. I am sure you have experienced, however, that your degree of attunement with your own higher Self, with Nature, with the Conscious Unified Field, and with your own intuition vary from time to time.
You can take advantage of this phenomenon. First of all, you can notice the events, people, circumstances, thoughts, feelings, actions, places, environments that inspire you to be more in tune with your Self, and what has the opposite effect. Transmutation Trigger and Energized Transmutation spontaneously put you more in touch with your true Nature and with Nature’s true nature. So do many other experiences.
Some other experiences take you in the opposite direction. One important way to inspire Conscious Manifestation is to choose more and more to engage in the experiences that you have found bring about a higher level of attunement with your own Nature and your own consciousness.
Conscious Manifestation is a way of living, not a cookbook formula or step-by-step method. In the Materialist Paradigm, the whole universe was mistakenly thought to be like a mechanical, clockwork system where everything proceeded linearly from cause to effect like a series of dominoes.
If that were the real universe, you could set up a step-by-step process and reliably get anything you wanted without experiencing the depths of your own soul. (1) make a list of what you want; (2) write it down; (3) put it by your mirror; (4) say it every morning ten times; (5) if it doesn’t work at first, try harder, concentrate harder on it; (6) Voila! You’re a billionaire with a perfect relationship.
The universe of the Conscious Unified Field Paradigm – which is the real universe – does not operate like that. The universe of the Conscious Unified Field paradigm responds spontaneously to resonances. The deeper the resonance in you, the closer to the Conscious Unified Field within you, the closer you are to the experience of SuperPosition, the more powerfully this inner resonance enlivens Nature to create a like vibration in your environment.
There isn’t a cookbook technique for this. Nevertheless, you can consciously choose to enliven a vibration in harmony with something you desire, particularly when you are in a state of being highly in tune with your own consciousness, your inner being, your own personal contact with the Conscious Unified Field – that is, when you are in or close to the experience of SuperPosition.
Consciously choosing a holographic inner vision of a desired experience in life, at a moment when you are highly attuned with your intuition, your higher Self, and your full Nature – when all levels of your life are spontaneously vibrating in internal resonance – creates a powerful resonance with Nature that sets in motion powerful Laws of Nature to spontaneously manifest the fulfillment of that desire.
When this takes place at a subtle, quiet level of inner experience, the effect is most powerful. This is not something you can manipulate, but it certainly is something you can take advantage of by keeping awake to such experiences and choosing wisely what to enliven in your awareness at the time.
The mechanics of Conscious Manifestation are this: You experience a holographic vision, a faint impulse of desire, at the quietest level of the mind, closest to the field of pure consciousness. This is the state of SuperPosition. You let go of even that faint impulse, and it merges into the Conscious Unified Field. It enlivens the infinite power of Nature inherent in the Conscious Unified Field in that vibration. The Conscious Unified Field vibrates in resonance with your vision and desire. From that enlivening of the Conscious Unified Field springs a like resonance in your environment. This resonates with and mutually enlivens the vibration in you. The Laws of Nature are set in motion within you and in your environment to create what you have envisioned. Spontaneously the envisioned reality manifests, simultaneously in you and in your environment. The whole process is effortless and spontaneous.
From the subtlest level of your awareness, with all aspects of you in tune – in the experience of SuperPosition – desire and let go. Nature takes care of the rest.
Much later I realized that this is the phenomenon that I got a taste of that day underwater that began my journey as a seeker.
Effortlessness
Conscious Manifestation is effortless. This is different from many other things we do. When you are doing pushups, more effort produces more pushups, which in turn produces more muscle growth. In many realms of life, trying harder produces more results. If you’re not getting the result you want, try harder. Do more pushups. The same applies to many kinds of mental tasks.
Conscious Manifestation is different – fundamentally different. Conscious Manifestation depends on the level of your consciousness, the level of your awareness. It depends on spontaneously accessing the quietest level of your awareness, close to the silent level of pure consciousness that is your essential Nature. Trying harder, focusing with the intellect or trying to manipulate the emotions, keeps your mind on an active, surface level. The harder you try, the further you are from the subtle, quiet level wherein lies the greatest power of your consciousness.
This is why Conscious Manifestation is not a technique you can do, or even a technique you can think. The more you do, the harder you think, the harder you try, the further you are from the state of inner silence, the Conscious Unified Field wherein lies the infinite power of Nature, the experience of SuperPosition.
Any effort or strain or trying interferes with the spontaneous phenomenon that is the essence of Conscious Manifestation: desire and let go.
Support of Nature
Nature supports desires and actions that are in accord with the Laws of Nature, in harmony with Nature, in tune with the Conscious Unified Field. When your awareness is close to your own inner experience of pure consciousness – your own essential Nature and the Nature of the Conscious Unified Field – then your desires and intentions that arise at that level are spontaneously in tune with Nature.
Such desires and intentions spontaneously gain the support of Nature. Desires and intentions that are fully in tune with you – the real you, the full you, your higher Self – are also spontaneously in tune with Nature. Their fulfillment will spontaneously be supported by Nature. Conscious Manifestation is the process of spontaneous fulfillment of such desires.
Conscious Manifestation is not a formula for using thoughts to create outcomes. It is not the case that if you just think hard enough about something, you make it happen. If you have tried it, as I have, you know this from experience.
Conscious Manifestation is a process of resonating with an experience that also resonates with the Conscious Unified Field and thus with all of Nature, enlivening the resonance with the Conscious Unified Field, and thereby creating the manifestation of both the inner aspects of the experience in you and the concrete, external aspects of the experience in your environment.
In short, desires and intentions are only manifested by Nature to the degree that they are in tune with Nature. If your desires and intentions support Nature, then Nature supports your desires and intentions.
As your own internal resonance increases, as you become more in tune with your intellect, emotions, intuition, and higher Self, spontaneously your desires and intentions will become more and more in tune with your own Nature. At the most fundamental level, your own Nature is in essence the Nature of the Conscious Unified Field that underlies, supports, and creates all of life and all of the universe. As your life and your awareness become more in tune with the Conscious Unified Field, your desires and intentions will have an increasingly powerful effect. Your experience of Conscious Manifestation will become simultaneously more effortless and more powerful and effective as you gain more and more support of Nature.
19. The Science of Creating Miracles and You
The Conscious Unified Field Is the Key to Creating Miracles
In the quantum-mechanical universe – which is the real universe – anything is possible. Some things are probable, and some are improbable. Miracles are not impossible events, only highly improbable ones.
Any imaginable configuration of quantum particle/wave phenomena can arise from the unified field. These possibilities become concrete physical realities through the process of conscious observation, in which the infinite possibilities are collapsed into quantum-mechanical forms and phenomena that make up the material world. Through this process you and I, as conscious beings, are constantly creating the experiences that constitute the world around us.
You are, in your highest essence, the Conscious Unified Field from which the universe arises. Anything is possible for the Conscious Unified Field. The quantum-mechanical world around you arises through the process of your collapsing infinite possibilities into quantum-mechanical observations or events.
This leads to a working hypothesis: By opening your awareness to the full value and power of who you are and functioning from the level of the Conscious Unified Field, you can choose among the infinite possibilities and thus create highly improbable events. You can create miracles.
That is the hypothesis that my father and I tested in the scientific laboratory through the Conscious Unified Field Experiment. The results were positive and definitive. The Conscious Unified Experiment proved in the laboratory that miracles are possible, and we can create them.
By functioning from the level of the Conscious Unified Field, which is our essential nature, we as human beings can create miracles – highly improbable configurations of particle/wave phenomena arising from that same Conscious Unified Field.
Here we may return to the words of the great physicist Erwin Schrödinger that began this volume:
“So let us see whether we cannot draw the correct, non-contradictory conclusion…
“The only possible inference…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.”
Transmutation Is the Key to the Conscious Unified Field
Functioning from the level of the Conscious Unified Field is the key to creating miracles. Transmutation is the process of opening your awareness to and coming in tune with who you are, at the highest and truest level: that same Conscious Unified Field that is the source of the physical universe.
Transmutation is not a transformation or change in your thinking, your emotions, your actions, or your environment. It is a fundamental shift in who is creating and living your life. It takes place on the level of your very being.
Transmutation is easy, because it simply involves fully being who you really are. It is easy to be who you are. It is difficult to be who you are not. All of the techniques for Transmutation provided in this book are easy, in fact effortless.
The Science of Creating Miracles Is the Key to Transmutation
All science comprises theory and practice. On the theoretical level, the foundation of the Science of Creating Miracles is the Conscious Unified Field Paradigm, which embodies the recognition that all of life and the physical universe are manifestations of the Conscious Unified Field.
On the level of practice, the Science of Creating Miracles has two branches. One is the investigation of the relationship of consciousness and matter – the physical universe and the Conscious Unified Field – through experiments such as the Conscious Unified Field Experiment and neuroscience experiments on the brain and consciousness. This is carried out in scientific laboratories, using scientific apparatus.
The other branch involves directly applying the Science of Creating Miracles to create the life of your dreams. It is carried out in the laboratory of your own life, your own consciousness and the life you create by applying it. This is the primary field of practice of the Science of Creating Miracles presented in this book. It consists of the practical techniques for Transmutation taught in this book and in the workshops, seminars, and personal guidance sessions on the Science of Creating Miracles that I conduct.

You – the real you, your Self (large S), the “I” of you, the unbounded cosmic you, the Conscious Unified Field, the 100% valuable, 100% safe, and 100% powerful you – are the key to the Science of Creating Miracles.
You create your life and your world. You can and do create miracles. You create and inspire the vibratory influence in yourself and in Nature that brings about miracles.
You create the resonant frequency that enlivens within you and brings forth all around you the experiences, people, things, environment, and events that are in harmony with you and Nature. You can create a life that is harmonious, joyful, and mutually nourishing for you and those around you.
You are the key to peace, harmony, fulfillment, and well-being for yourself and everyone you touch. You have the potential, the consciousness, the inspiration, and all the tools you need to create a truly miraculous life, to live the life of your dreams.
Enjoy the miracle that is your life!

About the Author
Dr. Larry Farwell is a neuroscientist, inventor, and the world’s leading expert on the Science of Creating Miracles. For his pioneering scientific discoveries, TIME magazine selected Dr. Farwell to the TIME 100: The Next Wave, the top innovators of our time, “the Picassos or Einsteins of the 21st Century.”
Dr. Farwell and his groundbreaking scientific discoveries have been featured in CBS Evening News, CBS 60 Minutes and 48 Hours, ABC World News, PBS, CNN, the Discovery Channel, the Science Channel, BBC, Newsweek, the New York Times, US News and World Report, the Washington Post, and major news media throughout the world.
Dr. Farwell’s revolutionary research in neuroscience and quantum physics forms the foundation of the Science of Creating Miracles. He has conducted and published pioneering research on the role of consciousness in human life and the universe. In collaboration with his late father, renowned physicist George Farwell, he demonstrated in the laboratory that humans can use consciousness to command the physical world at the quantum-mechanical level.
Dr. Farwell’s research has brought creating miracles into the realm of science. He has proved in the scientific laboratory that miracles are real and we can create them. Based on this science, he has developed practical techniques to create miracles in your life.
In his first book, How Consciousness Commands Matter: The New Scientific Revolution and the Evidence that Anything Is Possible, and the revised edition, Anything Is Possible: The New Scientific Revolution, Physics, Neuroscience, and the Commanding Role of Consciousness in the Universe, Dr. Farwell showed how research in neuroscience, relativity and quantum physics prove that consciousness plays a commanding role in the universe, providing a scientific basis for creating miracles in your life. That research and that book established the scientific basis for the reality that “Anything is possible.”
Based on that scientific foundation, The Science of Creating Miracles is a practical guide to creating miracles and living the reality that “Anything is possible” in your life.
In the last 100 years, there have been four major inventions in the field of psychophysiology. Dr. Farwell invented two of them, the first brain-computer interface and Brain Fingerprinting. (The other two were the polygraph and biofeedback.)
He has consulted with individuals, organizations, and top government officials and agencies worldwide, including the President of the US.
He has published his pioneering research in major scientific journals in neuroscience, psychophysiology, forensic science, and physics.
Dr. Larry Farwell’s ongoing life story reads like a science-fiction thriller. As a forensic scientist and the inventor of Brain Fingerprinting, he regularly faces off with some of the most dangerous people on the planet. From serial killers in Macon, Missouri to terrorist masterminds in Islamabad, Pakistan, Dr. Farwell uses his Brain Fingerprinting technology to catch bad guys and free the innocent.
After graduating from Harvard, while he was still a student in graduate school – without his PhD, without his patents or even his own laboratory, with nothing but his brilliant invention – the CIA recruited Dr. Farwell to apply his Brain Fingerprinting there. He worked with the CIA, the FBI and the US Navy, where his invention proved over 99% accurate in identifying criminals and exonerating innocents.
His Brain Fingerprinting test caught serial killer JB Grinder after he had literally gotten away with murder for 15 years. His Brain Fingerprinting test exonerated Terry Harrington, who had been falsely convicted of murder, spent 23 years of a life sentence in prison, and was ultimately freed. Dr. Farwell and his Brain Fingerprinting test on Steven Avery were featured in the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer (Season 2, Episode 2). The test provided scientific evidence that Avery is innocent.
Dr. Farwell invented the first brain-computer interface, allowing paralyzed people to communicate directly from the brain to a computer and “talk” through a speech synthesizer. Founded on that original invention, brain-computer interfaces have now developed into a flourishing field, making possible a whole new realm of communication and man-machine interactions that were considered impossible before. His other inventions include a brainwave-based method for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr. Farwell is a Harvard graduate and former Harvard research associate.
He is a black belt in kung fu and taught kung fu for many years. He is also an expert in chi gung.
He spent several years studying Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, was trained as a TM teacher by Maharishi, and taught the technique for years.
He is a singer-songwriter, guitar player, and recording artist, and has been a performing swing and Lindy Hop dancer.
As the world’s leading expert in the Science of Creating Miracles, Dr. Farwell has not only explored the mechanics of the miraculous in the scientific laboratory. He has applied his miraculous scientific discoveries in life and inspired and guided many others to create miracles in their lives.
Dr. Farwell’s lifetime goal is to demonstrate – in the scientific laboratory and in life – that Anything is possible. He aspires to help to create a world where everyone is living their highest dreams and aspirations, and everyone is realizing and living the reality that anything is possible in their own lives through the Science of Creating Miracles.
Dr. Farwell presents seminars, workshops, personal consulting, TV and other media appearances, and advanced training on The Science of Creating Miracles: Neuroscience, Quantum Physics, and Living the Life of Your Dreams worldwide.

3 Robert Jahn and Brenda Dunne and their colleagues at the Princeton Engineering Research Laboratory have accumulated a large database of results demonstrating the effect of human consciousness on random event generators of various kinds. For an excellent discussion of these results and their significance, see their book Margins of Reality: The Role of Consciousness in the Physical World (Harcourt Brace, 1988). Helmut Schmidt and his colleagues have also found similar results in measuring the impact of consciousness on random physical processes. (See, for example, Schmidt, H., 1982. Collapse of the state vector and psychokinetic effect. Foundations of Physics, 12, 565-581.)
