The illusion of time - In another type of experiment, Harvard University psychologist Ellen Langer demonstrated that time is a relative

notion. A group of people over age 7 !as ta"en to an isolated area !here a scene from #$%$ !as exactly replicated. &he furniture dated to that year, they !ere sho!n films from #$%$ and even the ne!spapers and maga'ines they !ere given came from that period. (ithin a !ee" the group)s actual symptoms of ageing had reversed. &he *oints in their fingers !ere more flexi+le and their eyesight improved. Langer concluded that +ecause the participants !ere given the same mental information as in #$%$, their +odies +egan to adapt to the physical situation at that time. ,ne of the possi+le explanations is that these people in their 7 s made contact !ith their o!n energetic +lueprint from #$%$, and their +odies follo!ed suit. &he American doctor and author -eepa" .hopra puts it this !ay/ 0&ime is dependent on our perceptions. 1o experiment has ever proven the existence of the continual movement of linear time and the concept has never +een expressed in a mathematical formula. &he experience of the continual movement of linear time is a phenomenon that !as created +y our nervous system. In fact, the past, present and future exist simultaneously, side +y side, in a field of endless possi+ilities. &he experience of linear time is the !ay in !hich nature protects us from experiencing everything at the same time. 2ut that is !hat actually happens.3 Einstein put it more concisely/ 04pace and time are modes in !hich !e thin", not conditions in !hich !e live.3 In the field there is no difference +et!een a memory and a ne! experience. &he +rain retrieves 0old3 and 0ne!3 information the same !ay. &his explains the salamanders) remar"a+le recovery. &heir +rains !ere largely destroyed, +ut the 0memory3 had not +een lost5 it !as stored in the field. 6ust as intuition, clairvoyance, premonitions, telepathy and other inexplica+le phenomena can +e understood if the 7ero 8oint 9ield is seen as a storage place for information to !hich anyone can tune in at any time. Is that !hat 1ostradamus !as doing !hen he sa! the future: The brain as transducer ,ne of the first scientists to recognise that the 7ero 8oint 9ield could +e the missing lin" for our understanding of the universe !as the Hungarian systems expert Ervin Las'lo. In his +oo" 0&he .reative .osmos3 !ritten in #$$; he !rites that the field is more than a mass of shimmering energy in the +ac"ground of our existence. According to Las'lo, the 7ero 8oint 9ield is an information carrier. 0&his <uantum vacuum is the origin of mind and matter - a +lueprint of the universe. Even our o!n memories are not stored in our +rains, +ut are stoc"piled li"e holographic information in the field. ,ur +rains are mainly receivers and processors of this information. (hen they resonate !ith certain fre<uencies they gain access to specific information.3 Are you still there? =ou have *ust read that time doesn)t exist and that human +eings can influence machines. All this in a !orld that says computers are al!ays right +ecause they are indisputa+ly logical. =et !e are still tal"ing a+out verifia+le physical and scientific experiments. All these experiments and phenomena point to the fact that the ghostli"e discoveries in the area of <uantum physics have su+stantially more influence on our daily reality than the pioneers of a century ago originally thought. -oes the universe according to 1e!ton)s la!s still exist: ,r is the !orld proving to +e a dynamic !e+ in !hich everything and everyone are connected: -oes that imply that my life means something radically different than I thought: Say a Prayer for Us -oes the concept of individuality still have meaning if everything is connected and even our o!n memories are accessi+le to everyone:

An even more exciting thought/ the atoms that are in contact !ith one another and !ith the universe in a myriad of !ays temporarily and intermittently shape our +ody. Every seven years all the cells in our +ody are regenerated5 no atom is the same again. And !ho "no!s !hat "ind of information those ne! atoms are carrying !hen they nestle into our +odies: 0Individuality3, 0I3 and 0mine3 +ecome very limited concepts !hen vie!ed this !ay. ,ur separate existence, !hich !e +elieve to +e the +asis of our daily experiences, is no longer the central issue. It is replaced +y the all-encompassing connection. &hese scientific discoveries can also explain the peculiar phenomenon that people in hospitals heal more <uic"ly !hen random people in random locations around the !orld pray for them daily, as research has proven. And the connection !ith the 7ero 8oint 9ield also appears to +e clear than"s to the similarly +i'arre fact that people !ho have undergone organ transplants ta"e on certain 0memories3 from the organ donor. (hen I pray for people, they get +etter. 4urely, the reverse is also true. I reali'e that it is in my o!n interest to treat my environment !ith care and respect. ,ne !ay or another, !e all carry the responsi+ility for the field that connects us all. And for the reality that !e create together. Creating Reality 9or my life, the second implication of the 7ero 8oint 9ield is *ust as radical as the insight that separation actually does not exist/ I create my o!n reality. 6ust as I can apparently influence a machine, I can influence all matter around me. >ore to the point/ I do it all the time, including influencing the matter in my o!n +ody. If I create reality, then the !orld is not as it is, +ut as I perceive it. >y thoughts determine reality. ?oy >artina, a doctor and "arate champion, !as at a party once !hen a friend attac"ed him from +ehind as a *o"e. His natural reaction !as to put the man in a hold, !here+y he +ro"e his friend)s finger. Under the motto of 0you +rea" it, you fix it3 they decided to conduct an experiment. &hey had heard that A+originals !ere a+le to heal +ro"en +ones nearly instantaneously. >artina/ 0(e thought, if they can do it, !e can too. (e tuned into the A+original field and sent that energy to the +ro"en hand. A couple of days later my friend !as +ac" playing volley+all. @-rays sho!ed no trace of a fracture. In his famous +oo" 0&hin" and Aro! ?ich3 !ritten in #$;7, 1apoleon Hill explains that those !ho ma"e it +ig mainly succeed +ecause, at the very deepest level, they are convinced they !ill. 4uccessful people, Hill concludes, solemnly +elieve in their aim and simply "no! they !ill achieve it. 2ecause they focus all their attention on the aim, it materiali'es *ust as in physics experiments all particles that are given attention +ecome visi+le. Everything is Potentially Possible &he third life lesson from the field is that in principle, everything is possi+le. All information is availa+le in the 7ero 8oint 9ield. It is my challenge - and that of us all - to glean the +est from it. As >ichelangelo once said a+out sculpture/ 0e image is already in the mar+le, all I do is cut a!ay everything that is not the image.3 I sometimes experience the same thing !hen I)m !riting a story and I see !ords appear on the screen that I)m +arely conscious of thin"ing. 6ust li"e that, I get sentences that I don)t consciously "no! or thin" of - from the field: It)s called inspiration. 2ut in fact 0inspiration3 is no longer an inexplica+le circumstance, +ut a demonstra+le physical phenomenon. -uring his visit to the 4istine .hapel in ?ome, >o'art heard Allegri)s famous >iserere. &hat piece of music is only heard once a year, during Holy (ee", after !hich it disappears +ehind loc" and "ey for another year.

It is a <uestion of tuning into the field. ,n a Aree" island, 4hireen 4troo"er is sitting !ith her hus+and 2ram Bermeulen at a ta+le at an outdoor cafe in the sun. In the middle of the ta+le a +riefcase +loc"s their vie! of one another. 2ram is loo"ing at a piece of paper in front of him and slo!ly counts/ 0,ne, t!o, three, four3 ,n every count 4hireen !rites do!n a plus or a minus after the num+er on her sheet. 4he tries to ignore the surprised glances from onloo"ers so she can fully concentrate on !hat 2ram is 0sending3 her/ a plus or a minus. (hen the sheet is full, they s!itch. &hey are +oth trying to get a plus or minus after the same num+er. &hat day they play the game a total of ## times. According to the la!s of pro+a+ility, 2ram and 4hireen should have the same plusses and minuses % C of the time. 2ut that day their score is 7 C. &hey "no! it)s no coincidence. &hey)ve had similar results +efore. 2ram and 4hireen "no! that you can reach each other if you tune in correctly. Tuning In and Drinking Deeply 2ut !e often get in the !ay of our a+ility to tune in. 4hireen/ 0&here is a clear difference +et!een concentrating and tuning in. If I concentrate, I try !ith all my might to achieve something !ith my thoughts. Usually you achieve *ust the opposite. (hat !e call thin"ing3, is actually mainly a+out dou+ting. =ou !ind up in all "inds of emotions - I can)t do this, !hat am I doing here:- and you don)t achieve your aim. &uning in means not thin"ing and ma"ing contact !ith the information that)s already there. =ou +ecome one !ith the information and resonate !ith it.3 4hireen descri+es an exercise she did !ith an over!eight man. &hey stood opposite one another and stared hard into each other)s eyes. &hen they +oth !al"ed to opposite ends of the room and 4hireen had to pic" up on the man)s favourite food.
