A New Spirituality and The Power Of Being Open Minded
In his internationally bestselling book, The 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace, Dr. Wayne Dyer talks about a vastly new attitude towards life. This attitude goes against the grain of much of what we've come to believe about living an extraordinary life and it calls on us to adopt a new way of perceiving ourselves and the world at large.

Sociation Of The Soul-Wed With God
When you receive the Seal you will undergo sociation, whereby you will become the spouse of God. You will be no longer the spouse of anyone in this world, as Adam claimed sociation by Eve. Adam and Eve ate the Forbidden Fruit in the Garden of Eden. The devil tempted Eve and she ate of the Fruit.

Spiritual Growth Requires Using Our Non-Physical Senses
The process of life is merely the process of God in physical form. Most spirituality information leads you to this logical conclusion. Advanced spiritual growth acknowledges this concept of God as a process. So if God is a process, and if we are spirit children of God who were created in the image and likeness of God, then we must be a process also.

What Is Spiritual Wisdom
I have over 15,000 pages of "spiritual wisdom" on my main web site. The title of my web site is "Spiritual New Age Wisdom, but it never occurred to me to write about what "spiritual wisdom" is, until I received a posting in my guest book asking about it. Wisdom is knowledge applied, so "spiritual wisdom" is spirituality applied; it is that simple.

Your Higher Purpose and The Winter Of Life
Everything that happens to you; everything from your past and everything in your future all relies on one simple thing: How do you choose to process that which happens to you The way you choose to process everything that has or will happen to you makes up your entire experience of life. Most people are oblivious to this powerful fact, mostly because the majority of our thoughts are shaped automatically by our past conditioning.

The Spiritual Process of Eternal Being
We are conditioned from birth without spirituality information that serves us. Our spiritual growth cannot begin until we break from this conditioning and allow spirituality information to come to us that talks about our eternal nature. From the time we become cognizant we are told that we are going to die.

Sexy, Spiritual Sacred Heart Tattoos
When you decide on a tattoo design, make sure it is something that is of great personal significance to you. Some people take little thought in choosing their designs. People with strong religious beliefs may consider sacred heart tattoos to be a wonderful design option. You wouldn't be surprised to know that religious symbols and icons are popular chosen for tattoo designs.




So quantum physics tells us that the observer causes the observed, or at the very least that the observer interferes with that which is being observed by the very process of observing it. I've heard some people crying "heresy!" They do not like the idea that once the observer is not observing the observed, then the observed is not.

In my mind that misses a large, obvious point which makes the concept ludicrous. We are all one, god if you will, or at the very least energy, unseparated my anything other than atomic configuration which on a larger scale appears to create separation of bodies of mass. Since we know better, then there's a couple other points we cannot overlook.

Firstly, because we are all one energy field, for lack of a better term, there is no "disappearance" of anything when it is not being observed. Our human notion of "not existing" encapsulates anything not within the small frequency band our six physical senses can pick up. Perhaps the observer causes the observed to become a manifest, physical experience (to the observer), but the lack of observer in no way takes away the existence of that experience/being/energy.



Secondly, because all energy is the same, and we as apparently individual human beings are conscious, then it's very difficult to imagine that any spec of the energy field of all-that-is could not be conscious. The type of consciousness may vary greatly, in an infinite number of ways, but is still basic consciousness nonetheless. For us to be conscious implies that everything is, that energy itself is consciousness. That ours is focused into a small amount of matter at the moment (exclusively, as far as what we deem our "conscious" mind is concerned) does not mean that every other piece of this energy shares that form of focalised consciousness.

If our rule of free will stands up, as it must, in that the law of attraction clearly states that we create our reality by what we think about, thereby allowing that to become part of our reality, then all forms of consciousness must inherit this same trait, although perhaps experentially very different. Therefore the observer cannot observe the observed unless the observed is also an observer that is observing the original observer.

With this understood, all observers are in fact by nature observed, as that which they are observing is also by nature observer. The process of observation therefore does not contain "observed" and "observer", but both of those in both participants, or what I will now call "observed(er)".

I don't mean to shake rocky ground, but this places all new challenges on the understanding of the role of observer in the observed.

And having raised an issue without providing satisfactory resolution, I leave you now.
