This past weekend I was in Los Angeles at my Aunt's Young Artists Award Ceremony. Maureen Dragone passed away a year and some months ago, but her legacy lives on through the honoring of young actors and actresses for their achievements in theater and film. Her mother, my grandmother, Nora Laing, had founded the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Golden Globes Award. She did this some seventy years prior with a handful of friends, while my aunt was in her teens. In her young years, my aunt was inspired by Jackie Coogan and others young professionals whose efforts as child stars went either largely uncompensated or largely unrecognized. So she followed in her mother's footsteps and crated an organization that would let young performers meet on a more equal playing field, separate from the adults, one that would fully acknowledge their noteworthy contributions to entertainment. Now, here I find myself, in a ballroom full of very talented young people, tomorrow's big stars, wondering what amazing things they will accomplish in the lives that lay ahead for them.
Most of these young people know each other very well. They follow each others careers and work very closely. And they are all so supportive and encouraging, cheering each other on. As the names of the nominees were called out, whoops and hollers of joy and commendation would arise from different areas of the room, simmering down to an overall applause from everyone. Then, as the winners were announced, after the celebratory din died down, the text messages would begin to fly. Congratulating, consoling, sending thoughts and words of support and love, not only to each other, but also to family members at home and friends around the globe.
It reminded me of telepathy and what Einstein called, "Spooky action at a distance." This is where particles from the same atom are separated by a vast distance. Then something is done to one of those particles and it results in a reaction or response. But the particle that had the experience is not the only one that reacts. The other particle, the one that is connected but far away also has the same reaction.
This is where physicists and metaphysicians meet, the realm of telepathy. An event occurs to a loved one on a distant continent, and we wake up, knowing that something has happened. And here are all these children in this ballroom texting their messages instantaneously around the globe. It's very like telepathy and right in keeping with the patterns we find in quantum physics.
As I sat there remembering my aunt and my grandmother before me, basking in their legacy, it occurred to me that with cell phones and texting, we have all moved one more substantial step farther along the road to recognizing our oneness and our interconnectedness. The only step remaining is realizing that we can do this without a device. We already have within us the Quantum Entanglement of our deeper knowings, where two particles or people are so deeply linked that they share the same existence. This is spooky action at a distance, that ability to know instantaneously, just like texting, but it's telepathy.
With that, I'll just let you all know that I'm thinking of you.

If we look at the atom, peering into the most minute elements of matter, we find that matter hardly exists at all. In fact, at the quantum level, the level of electrons, protons and neutrons we find that the atom is comprised mostly of clear empty space. There is as much space, in the very cells of our bodies as there is in the universe of stars overhead. We and everything around us that we consider to be our world is made up of 99.9999999999999% clear empty space. Isn't that amazing?
Modern physics has built some of the largest machines in the world in order to study these smallest particles of matter. These machines are known as particle separators. In a gross oversimplification, they use magnets to zoom an atom around a gigantic track. Then they smash it into a wall to separate it into its tiniest bits. Then they observe what happens. This has resulted in what has come to be known as "The God Particle" and it has boggled the minds of modern physicists because it is so elusive.
If a physicist believes this smallest element of nature is a particle, then it will behave as a particle and leave a little dent upon impact. If another physicist believes this smallest element of nature is a wave, then it will behave as a wave and leave a little ripple upon the surface it impacts. Now, going further round the bend, if the physicist, who believes this is a particle, sets up a camera to photograph the result, and then leaves the room, it will behave as a particle and a little dent will be captured on film. If the other physicist, who believes it is a wave, sets up a camera to photograph the result, and then leaves the room, it will behave as a wave and a little ripple will be captured on film. Hmmm… This seems to indicate that what we believe affects the very nature of reality.
Now there is one more aspect to this that stretches our perceptions of everything we have come to know even further. Physicist call it "The Zero Point." At the most minute level of atomic reality our three dimensions of length, width and height are joined by the forth dimension of time. We have known for some time now that time is different in outer space. This is referred to as "time dilation" and has been confirmed by the slowing of atomic clocks aboard the Space Shuttle relative to earth bound clocks. But here, at the quantum level, the level of 'The God Particle,' time seems to grind almost to a halt. In fact it slows to 0.000000000 (add 40 more zeros here)% per second. That is really, really slow. It is so slow that all of our known time is squished together into just a few seconds.
At this level of reality, time is no longer a line. It is more like the axle of a wheel with all time and all events accessible to us from that one center point. From my point of view as a working psychic, herein enters a logical explanation for our ability to access our past lives and receive premonitions about the future. And if we allow our conscious attention to ride on that clear space that is inside of us and that connects us all, one to the other, no wonder we can perceive what is going on in another person's body or in a building half a continent away.
These discoveries from the world of quantum physics help us to understand how we can do remote viewing or experience visitations from the afterlife. And, if matter doesn't exist and time has slowed to a halt, then what we are left with is everything happening at once and nothing existing but our beliefs. This sheds a whole new light on the power of our thoughts and beliefs and our incredible latent creative potential. No wonder they call it 'The God Particle.'
