Poor rats!
Poor cats!
Poor salamanders!...I think...ground salamander brains...


While pondering what I wanted to blog about yesterday, I decided to walk down to Karn's and get something to drink. After picking up a six-pack of diet Pepsi, I felt the uncontrollable urge to walk down the frozen food aisle, though I knew there was nothing I wanted. Before I even made it to where I'd turn right, a familiar face appeared, my psychic friend. We talked for a moment about her group session the previous weekend and about the opening for my solo art show on September 5. She asked me what I was doing today and I remarked about The Field. Her eyes twinkled a moment, "I work with the field all the time!".....

Where does metaphysics end and quantum physics begin?

Many times I've said that the "computer gnomes" don't like me, and now there is scientific proof for that being the case. The Field is continuously adding scientific backing to many of theories that make "magick" and religion beyond the realm of fantasy. We are constantly in tug of war between the "rational" world of science and the "irrational" world of religion, and now here is a science which at times seems even more radical than religion.

My brain is being overloaded with the concepts and I can't help but think of several things:
1.) If the entire universe is interconnected energy, then did the "Big Bang" actually matter in the first place, or even better, did the "Big Bang" actually happen at all?

2.) If all our brain is doing is interpreting frequencies and that is how we see, then does everything look the same to me as it does to the rest of us? That being said, if the brain does not store memories, but instead receives them from the field, then wouldn't dreams be just a weaker form of reality? In a sense wouldn't be possible that reality as we know it is just one big vivid dream? In some Hindu mythology, we are God's dream.

3.) If our brain itself is just a receiver and our "higher conscious" works on a quantum level, when we are dead, is our point in the field dead as well?

4.) I'm sure on a scientific level that 54% is a major event, but in my limited perception it still seems a bit insignificant. I'm curious to know if there were any people who consistently scored higher, or if they could have performed the experiment to see if even the normal people could learn to "control" what happens over time.

5.) If water has the capability to store memories and "the observer" has the ability to cause a desired outcome, then does that mean there is quantum proof that sacramental wine in Christianity, sacramental rum in Vodou, and the holy water of many faiths, has some real value? Or even more interesting, if the holy grail (whose importance actually comes from Celtic myth and is derived from older Pagan stories...sorry DaVinci Code fans) were to actually be discovered, then theoretically, wouldn't putting water or wine in it would produce the "memory" of Christ?

6) The whole idea of consciousness effecting the order of the universe is a scary thought for me as a painter. In a sense it would mean that nearly everything ever thought up, has at least existed for a time on the quantum level.

7) Are all those people who claim to see aura's or go on journeys while meditating simply just tapping into the field and are seeing reality far better than the majority of us can ever imagine?

8) When I talk to my atheist friend about a ritual or spell I did, will I now have quantum evidence to support my "delusion" (as he'd call it) of it actually having real possibility of working?

I still can't seem to get over the ground salamander brains. Seriously, I get that it's all for the good of science, but is it really necessary? Not only does it sound cruel and unusual, but it also gets me thinking odd thoughts like "salamander brain burgers"...
