Step right up Ladies and Gentlemen. Inside the tent you will witness the most amazing, most fearsome, most unusual, most frightening, most unbelievable animal you have ever seen in your life. Yes Ladies and Gentleman, today you will bear witness to Quantum Physics.
Life shouldn’t happen. It’s against The Second Law of Thermodynamics. This law simply says that provided no energy comes in from outside (known as a “closed” system) then things will either stay the same or wind down, like a clock that is never touched. Because of this law the idea of perpetual motion – a machine that runs without any energy input – is impossible.
An explosion in a lumber mill could never ever produce a fully formed house. An infinite number of chimps banging out letters on a typewriter for an infinite time will NEVER produce, even by accident, a play by Shakespeare. It is as unlikely as gravity reversing and throwing us all off into space. Statistics must always take second place to a law of nature.
Have you ever seen a volcano throw out a bike? The makeup of Earth is largely iron and carbon, which happen to be the two main ingredients involved in the making of steel. Steel is made by adding amounts of carbon to boiling iron under great heat, pressure and oxygen. Air contains 20% Oxygen and water contains nearly as much. All these are freely available in your friendly neighborhood volcano. To make a bicycle frame requires steel tubing. It is a very simple process.
Question: When did you last see a volcano throw out a fully formed bicycle frame? We have had 4,000 million years of volcanoes, and all the ingredients are to hand. In that same time (say the scientists) a microbe grew into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. So T. Rex is OK but why, in the time involved, aren’t we drowning in mountain bikes? The fact is that volcanoes have not only failed to produce a single bike frame, they have yet to provide a single sliver of steel. It’s a natural law. So where did T. Rex come from then?
A single protein is more complex than the wiring circuit of a mainframe computer, and a protein is one of the smallest building blocks in the human animal, or any other animal. To assume that one single example of animal life came about through a rave of microbes having a serious party in some volcanic soup is to assume that every wire, brick and pane of glass in Tokyo, Berlin or New York was created by accident. Human life starting on this incredible world by chance is statistically impossible AND denies a fundamental Law of Physics. And yet not only do we have life – but in profusion.
Walk past any park and notice the different types of leaves. Why so many, when one type would do? Why such over-abundance when simple grass would do the job admirably? The evidence around us every day says that something or someone or (according to your persuasion) the workings of pure chance, has gone completely over the top: a madness of profusion. We are overwhelmed by overabundance.
We float in heavens of incomprehensible size and beauty. There are more species of insect than we have managed to count in the last 200 years. There are sea creatures so far down in the oceans that they have never seen light, yet they breed and reproduce in harmony with the moon’s cycles; a moon they have never seen. Without this harmony the earth would spin out of orbit into the endless void of space. No life, chaos everywhere; everything running down. If there was only one living thing on the whole planet – a microbe - it would still have been an impossible creation - against a natural law that has withstood every attempt to dispute it for 100 years, and at statistical odds that no hard-nosed betting man would ever take.
You’re a miracle inside a miracle. You know this. Deep down you know it. But the routine of life has blinded us all to its beauty. Primitive cavemen concentrated on survival, yet they found time to create art. Modern life is supposed to be about leisure but we have no time to stand and stare. What you don’t know, and will find hard to believe, is the amount of control over your life, this life, you really have.
Let me prove to you right now that even at an elementary level, you can change your world …
You’ll need a nice day filled with big, fluffy clouds that are moving at a gentle pace. Lie down in the sun, chill out. Take some rays.
While you’re contemplating the meaning of life, check out the edges of some of those clouds. You’re looking for a small wisp of cloud, a tiny one that’s broken away from a main cloud. Focus your eyes and your thoughts upon that wisp of vapor. Stare at it and will it to go away. Demand, with confidence, that it disappear, and it will. Just watch.
As a beginner you have to practice on tiny cloudlets. Eventually, with practice, you will be surprised at how effective this can be on bigger ones. And there you are. You’re not changing yourself, you’re changing the reality around you. Weird or what?
Sometimes we forget that we are not just in this world, we are part of it. We not only have a right to be here but if you believe any or all religious writings, then it was created for us. We have control. God, whoever and whatever you perceive Him to be, has given us the channel changer.
Unfortunately this experiment will not impress hard-nosed skeptics who will insist that the clouds were disappearing anyway, but we’ll move on.
The Blue Feather
This one often works well but has to be done properly. Make a note of what the date and day will be exactly one week from now. For the sake of argument let’s say it will be Friday the 12th of March.
Now take a piece of paper and write: On or before Friday 12 March a blue feather has appeared in my life.
Blue feathers are quite rare. When was the last time you saw one? Of course it doesn’t have to be blue, or even a feather. It can be a pink elephant if you want. Whatever you decide, write it down in the manner I have just described. Now first thing in the morning, immediately on rising, find a quiet place and read out this statement to yourself. If you can’t read it out loud, then mouth it as a whisper but move your lips. The more sound and action you put into it the better. Immediately after reading it, close your eyes and visualize this blue feather (or whatever). Feel confident. Smile to yourself as you visualize yourself suddenly noticing a blue feather in the street, or seeing one on the floor. Put emotion into it. You will see later that it is the emotion you put into it that makes things happen. Do this twice a day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night, every day for one week. I guarantee that within that week, or on the day, you will have come across some image of what you have visualized. You may see it on a billboard, or a TV advertisement, or it may actually have come into your life in your Aunt’s hat, or a photograph. But it will appear, quite magically, almost spookily into your life.
Skeptics will still argue that this just increased your sensitivity to something that was there all the time but your mind had filtered out. When little green men float out of a flying saucer that’s just landed in Washington DC, skeptics will still argue it’s a publicity stunt right up until the time the death ray hits them.
You are not changing yourself. You have not noticed something that was there anyway and hadn’t noticed before. You created the feather. You are changing reality. And if you think this is spooky then you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
There is a third experiment that works so well I use it all the time. I find car parking spaces with it in busy towns. Just before I leave I spend a few moments visualizing where I need to park. I see the street or parking lot full of cars – until I arrive, and then a car leaves just in time for me to park my car in his space. I see this in my mind’s eye before I start the car, feel good about it and then drive toward my destination in the confident expectation that my parking place has been pre- booked. I reckon this works over 90% of the time – far beyond the normal mathematical chance of this occurring by accident. Try it. It works.
But you’re not changing yourself. You’re changing something else outside of yourself. In this example it could be argued that you changed someone else’s day just by thinking about it. Crazy? No. Not at all. This is beyond crazy. This is quantum physics.
You were separated from Creation eons ago in order to gain new experience. All your pointless searching is a metaphor that you wish to return home. What you are searching for won't be found in religion, sex, drugs, alcohol, jobs, friendship, family, activities, hobbies, travel, books, movies, TV, media, schooling, advanced degrees, worldly fame, accolades, esteem, money, wealth, MTV or a million other distractions you mistakenly call happiness.
Routines (programming) keep you where you are, in the same place. But most of all, the big problem with routines (programming) is that they stop us noticing something very important. We are blinded by them. They stop us noticing the world we are living in. We take the seasons, the sun rising, green grass, trees, the air we breathe, even life, for granted. Above all it stops us seeing that we are living inside a miracle; that we are miracles within a miracle. We shouldn’t even be here; life is against the laws of physics! And those very few people who see this, and study it, discover a strange truth. Not only are we miracles inside a miracle, but we can change things. We have the power. Not only are we in The Matrix, but like Keanu Reeves’ Neo, we can control it. You ARE Neo and YOU ARE NOT EVEN AWARE OF IT!! Like a prince stolen at birth raised in utter poverty is not even aware he is a King by birthright.

Those examples happens to me all the time. The frequency scares me a little because i don't try to do it but it happens anyway. It happens a lot... examples:
I changed my course to go home. I saw a book store. I have not seen it before. I looked to the books. I searched the book i want to buy. I said "ok. The Mist is somewhere around here." And it was there. I read it. I like the book. It was different to other king writings. I wonder it was ever filmed. I want it to be filmed. I searched it in imdb and i found out they have started the production on this month.
All are coincidences?. "Don’t mistake coincidence for fate" The biggest coincidence lately happenned is about the tsunami disaster. It was like i saw it. No i didn't saw it. I just make a prediction on "What if a tsunami happens in these times. It will be like..." It was just a comment. I would have never thought it again if it did not happen in one week with the exact details of my comment. I am not an oracle. I've just ran a simulation about tsunami in my head. Every man can do that. I think the timing was weird. I don't wanna talk about it but first example seems a little weak.(my friend looks suspiciusly to me)
OK. For being skeptic our brain can solve some stuff without we notice it. They will say "you pass the book store your brain saw it but you didn't notice it." But this works for some cases. I have never go to that way so i didn't know about the book store. I think the information about the book store supplied from somewhere else or someone elses. I want that book so bad my brain telepathically scans people around me and take the information(google it. download it. simple)Then in the right moment manipulated me to go to that book store.
I've learned a very rare used word which i've never heard of it. I heard it from people around me for 2-3 times in the following days.(this happens with 89 percent of my new words especially rare ones (also note that it's my first language i know which words are never used for years) I wanted a movie, no i wanted J. Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy. My roommate come with the movies in that week. I am very very lucky or fate loves me or I have a potential.(may be i am using all of it. This is the limit of my ability.)
I learned a word about fireman's literature. That week a n oil ship burned down three firemans burned very badly and the chief used that word twice in his speech. I was scared because i thought "in ages that word will never be spoken. It was an unreal word nobody ever used it"
If i kept a diary about these stuff. I have to buy a new shelf maybe shelves.
