'The stuff of the world is mind stuff.' Sir Arthur Eddington
Now, i'm not talking about imaginary stuff here. I'm taking about real physical changes that suit your world. The Law of Attraction is possibly one way to imagine this... and can be summed up in three words:
Thoughts
Create
Reality
But, this thread won't be about The Secret alone. Instead, i want to talk about the ontological factor of consciousness ''recreating'' the outside world.
In physics, the Copenhagen Interpretation states that the world is a potential existence, until we come about and disturb reality, by making it real. The collapse of the wave function has been proven to reduce into a single probability upon measurement, proving Einstein wrong.
'No photon exists until a detector fires, only a developing potentiality. Particle-like and wave-like behavior are properties we ascribe to light. Without us, light has no properties, no existence. There is no independent reality for phenomena nor agencies of observation.'
Niels Bohr
We must imagine that a system like a photon is attentively trying out all possibilities until one actually emerges. We know we collapse the wave function of matter, because a single eigenstate remains upon measuring a photon or electron.
An eigenstate is nothing more than a state of a system that remains after a measurement. For instance, a photon doesn't travel just one single path, when hitting off a mirror. It takes all possible routes... and all of those routes are potential eigenstates. But when a person comes along and measures the photon, the state it is in, such as spin and path are the eigenstates that is determined and measured.
In the greater picture of the universe, this rule of collapse and create can be applied to a bigger function. We are actually shaping up how the universe looks like, and even shaping up the universe in the past. This view is taken very seriously by many scientists, such as Amit Goswami, renown for his quantum physics texbook which is used in colleges and universes across the world. Fred Wolf also believes this, known well for his contributions to theoretical physics. Even Fred Hoyle believed that signals travelled through time, and every time we make a measurement, it is determined by some future event, simultaneously creating some past event.
Fred Wolf explains, that if something isn't well-defined at some past event, a single thought or simply address a situation by giving it details it previously didn't have, can and quite possibly does reacreate the past in subtle ways. In fact, we probably do this everyday, creating the past in subtle ways, by addressing them with details we never applied correctly before.
'What we are observing is not nature herself, but nature exposed
to our type of question. Space exists only in relation to our
particularizing consciousness. The portions of the external
universe of which we have additional knowledge by direct
awareness amount to a very small fraction of the whole; of
the rest we know only the structure and not what it is a structure
of. Science is concerned with the rational correlation of
experience rather than the discovery of fragments of absolute
truth about an external world.'
Astrophysicist, sir Arthur Eddington
So far, we have seen that we create the world through thoughts, and observation, we can also create the world in a third way, and that's how we percieve.
Somehow, the realm of ''in here'' isn't tied to out there. In fact, the reality we ever do come to percieve, is in fact an ethereal recreation of the outside. We receate the universe therego, in our own perception of senses. This world you see, is in fact a dimension of its own, a universe of its own, so we create that world in our own minds.
'A human being is part of the whole called by us
universe, a part limited in time and space. We
experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings
as something separate from the rest. A kind of
optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is
a type of prison for us, restricting us to our personal
desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by
widening our circle of compassion to embrace all
living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty' Albert Einstein 1954
We manifest external reality through our interpretations made in the internal world, and unravel and encapsulate its mysterious pages as it unfolds around us, like some intricate dubious murder mystery - without us, in effect, the universe would be devoid of any such meaning, thus if all experience, all emotion and every thought can be pin-pointed to the internal world of awareness and perception, then consciousness is next to being trapped in a lucid dream, in which none of us can awake from and which the laws of the universe cannot escape... the lie that is the most terrifying in physics, is the truth about the world of consciousness.
'There is no world at large - only a description of the world which
we have learned to visualize and take for granted. We live in a
bubble, the bubble of our perception and what we witness on its
round walls is our own reflection.'
