"Consciously quantum: How you make everything real", article in New Scientist by Philip Ball (November 8, 2017)
Quantum mechanics, a powerful science based on experimentation, must include the variable of the "observer" for its mathematical equations to work. According to various scientific interpretations of the quantum world, reality happens when an observer collapses a set of multiple possibilities into one outcome derived by the act of measuring. In other words, "the very act of observation calls the outcome into being". The article cites physicist John Wheeler from Princeton University: "We live in a 'participatory universe' - one that can't be meaningfully described without invoking our active involvement". An implication of this model of the universe is that the more people agree with what they expect to observe, owing perhaps to their past experiences or their "view of the the world", then the likelier is for the world they anticipate to materialize.
"The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe"; Lynne McTaggart
(Extracts from Amazon book review)
Science has begun to prove what ancient myth and religion has always espoused: that there may be such a thing as a life force. During the past few decades, respected frontier scientists all over the globe have produced extraordinary evidence to show that an energy field -- the Zero Point Field -- connects everything in the universe, and we ourselves are part of this vast dynamic network of energy exchange. This book shows why the Zero Point Field makes all things possible: all things connected in space and time. "The Field also reveals a radical new biological paradigm -- that on our most fundamental level, the human mind and body are not distinct and separate from their environment, but a bundle of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea. Here, in so-called dead space, may lay the key to many of life's processes, from how cells communicate to how organisms actually take shape. The Field is responsible for our mind's highest functions -- our memory, intuition, and creativity. It is the force that finally determines whether we are healthy or ill, the force that must be tapped in order to heal. Original and well documented with eminently distinguished sources, "The Field also lifts many areas from the level of myth into the realm of hard science. It offers a scientific explanation for many of the most profound human mysteries, from how alternative medicine, spiritual healing, and extrasensory perception work to the existence of the collective unconscious. The book presents a bold new theory that will change your perception of the way your mind and body work.
"Margins of Reality"; Robert G. Jahn and Brenda J. Dunne
(Extracts from Amazon book review)
This pioneering work, which sparked intense controversy when it was first published two decades ago, suggests that modern science, in the name of rigor and objectivity, has arbitrarily excluded the role of consciousness in the establishment of physical reality. Drawing on the results of their first decade of empirical experimentation and theoretical modeling in their Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program, the authors reach provocative conclusions about the interaction of human consciousness with physical devices, information-gathering processes, and technological systems. The scientific, personal, and social implications of this revolutionary work are staggering. MARGINS OF REALITY is nothing less than a fundamental reevaluation of how the world really works.
"My Big Toe" Trilogy; Thomas Campbell
(Extracts from Amazon book review)
The entirety of human experience (mind, body, and spirit) including both our objective and subjective worlds, are brought together under one seamless scientific understanding. Based upon careful scientific research and logical deduction, this is a book for all who have an interest in the nature of the reality in which they exist. My Big TOE is not only about scientific theory, function, process, and discovery - but also speaks to each individual reader about their innate capabilities. Readers will learn to appreciate that their human potential stretches far beyond the limitations of the physical universe. My Big TOE is about life, purpose, personal significance, physics, evolution, and the reason why. The acronym "TOE" is a standard term in the physics community that stands for "Theory Of Everything." Such a theory has been the "Holy Grail" of physicists for more than fifty years. The "My" was added to be a constant reminder to you that this reality model cannot serve as your personal Big TOE until it is based upon your personal experience. This particular TOE is "Big" because it integrates metaphysics and physics into a single unified big-picture view of our larger reality. The My Big TOE reality model will help you understand your life, your purpose, all of the reality you experience, how that reality works, and how you might interact most profitably with it. The author, is a nuclear scientist who in addition to his ongoing career in a traditional hard science, spent almost thirty years carefully researching altered states of consciousness both in and out of formal laboratory settings.

Ph.D. Roger Nelson - The Global Consciousness Project
"Psychologist Roger Nelson has been conducting an amazing experiment at the University of Princeton for many years: The global consciousness project investigates the effect of consciousness on matter, which can be reproduced and is statistically significant. Nelson and his team succeeded to prove that humans are able to affect random processes by simply focusing on it. Thus motivated, Nelson has been investigating the effect of major events on mass consciousness by means of a worldwide network of random number generators. When huge crowds come into resonance, the effect is even provable around the globe, as it was shortly after the attacks of 9/11 or the death of Lady Di. Are we all to each other on a consciousness level?"
Institute of Noetic Sciences - Is Mind Over Matter Real?
This video cites many scientific studies conducted over three decades that suggest a strong relationship between mind and the physical world . "Were intention and attention goes, order mysteriously flows." This relationship is consistent with ancient belief and rediscovered today through lab experimentation.
Ph.D Dean Radin - New Experiments Show Consciousness Affects Matter
Results from various experiments suggest that the meditator, as an observer, can influence quantum phenomena with high statistical significance. The observer effect is independent of distance.
Anil Seth in Ted Talk, "Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality"
"Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience -- and not just any conscious experience, your experience of the world around you and of yourself within it. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it "reality." Join Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence."

Gregg Braden in "Missing Links"
"Confirming Our Connections" - For three hundred years, scientists have worked to come to an objective understanding of the natural world and our connection to it. Along the way, some false assumptions were made and these notions became a part of the enforced doctrine. As technology and techniques continue to improve, new results to old experiments are challenging these assumptions. Results of cutting edge experiments are explored, which confirm that all things are contained within a field which can be influenced by our emotions and innermost beliefs. This presentation by Gregg Braden was originally webcast on January 26, 2017.
"Physics Of Our Deepest Connections" - If we can accept that everything is contained within the Field, then we no longer question if we are all connected. The question now becomes: How deeply are we connected? Two experiments, conducted by prominent scientists, reveal that the arrangement of photons and DNA can be directly influenced by human emotions. These findings seem to defy the conventional laws of physics but give us a means for understanding the mechanisms behind prayer, remote healing and miracles. When we learn to embrace these truths, we can begin to unlock the fullest potential we have available to us. This presentation by Gregg Braden was originally webcast on February 2, 2017.
"Globalizing Heart-Brain Harmony" - We can make changes within the magnetic fields of our hearts and brains, which in turn, affect the Earth’s magnetic field. In essence, you can learn how to globalize your own heart-brain harmony. This presentation by Gregg Braden was originally webcast on March 30, 2017.
What the Bleep Do We Know?
(Extracts from synopsis in official website)
It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality.
The fourteen top scientists and mystics interviewed in documentary style serve as a modern day Greek Chorus. In an artful filmic dance, their ideas are woven together as a tapestry of truth. The thoughts and words of one member of the chorus blend into those of the next, adding further emphasis to the film’s underlying concept of the interconnectedness of all things.
The chorus members act as hosts who live outside of the story, and from this Olympian view, comment on the actions of the characters below. They are also there to introduce the Great Questions framed by both science and religion, which divides the film into a series of acts. Through the course of the film, the distinction between science and religion becomes increasingly blurred, since we realize that, in essence, both science and religion describe the same phenomena.
