The first week in October is always an exciting time as the Nobel committee hands out their awards. This last October the prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Svante Paabo for work in the area of "genomic studies of extinct humans including the discovery of previously unknown types of human ancestors" to assist us in understanding human evolution.
Today the prize in Physics was awarded to the following individuals as reflected in this opening statement from the Nobel Committee:
"The physicists Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that proved the profoundly strange quantum nature of reality. Their experiments collectively established the existence of a bizarre quantum phenomenon known as entanglement, where two widely separated particles appear to share information despite having no conceivable way of communicating."
Consider reading this short article from the Committee:
Einstein did not like the idea of Quantum Entanglement and called it "spooky action at a distance." He was at odds with certain pioneers of Quantum Mechanics like Niels Bohr and Erwin Schrödinger. Recall Schrödinger's cat. Then fast forward to the work of the above-mentioned researchers and we now know that there is a quantum connection between two separate entangled particles in faraway locations.
What this means for us is that we can just go right ahead and continue meditating in the way that we do. In so doing we recognize that we can enter the quantum realm through our imaginations and the deeper brain states of mindfulness. As we raise our vibrations and enter higher dimensional states with high frequency energy flowing through us, we establish a connection, an entanglement, with realities that are not apprehended in the brain states of normal waking consciousness.
We go deeper, and are farther in, and the multidimensional infinite universe opens up to us. The two far away properties, consciousness here and consciousness "there," become linked. This is true whether we realize it or not, no matter what our conscious minds may be processing, We may simply feel a calmness and peace, nothing more, nothing less. Isn't that enough? Keep this in mind as you meditate.
