Action at a Distance

      Professional weather forecasters sometimes say things like "if someone sneezes in Africa it can cause a hurricane in Florida." What they mean is that a tiny movement of air in one place on the globe can have a devastating effect some time later in another area. There is a whole branch of science dedicated to research into the effects of Chaos. The mathematics of this field is overwhelming to all but the experts, consequently progress is slow toward understanding. To be aware of all of the negative and positive pressures and waves is tough enough, but the way they add here and subtract there is frustrating. In weather as well as many other fields it is apparent that complex but ordered results can come from chaotic circumstances. I'm sure that with enough reliable information, weather prediction will get better and better. 
      My point is that an event quite distant from you and I can effect us sometimes instantly and often at some future date. 
      Some years ago Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder published "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain." They reported on several areas of psychic research going on in the USSR at that time. One of their reports was an experiment supposedly carried out with the help of the Russian Navy.
      The experimenters selected a doe rabbit that had a new litter, and placed her in a laboratory. She was then wired to instruments that would monitor and record physiological changes in her body. The young rabbits were placed in a submarine and taken to a great depth in the Atlantic. From time to time, one of the young rabbits was killed. The time of execution was noted from a clock that was synchronized with one in the laboratory in the USSR.
 
      At the conclusion of the experiment, there was strong evidence that the doe knew something was amiss with her babies. Each time one was killed there was a corresponding instantaneous physical reaction in the mother rabbit. 
      If we can believe that this experiment was controlled properly, it does seem to indicate that there is an extended link between mother and offspring, at least in rabbits. I would like to believe the same is true for all sentient beings. In later chapters we will discuss how this link is at the same time a physical one and a psychic one. Laboratory experimentation has shown that each quantum particle is in constant contact with all others. These experiments use paired electrons that are diverted in opposite directions, and they still maintain their pair connections. 
      The Russian experimenters indicated that the influence was noted instantly in the mother rabbit. This was no doubt deduced by comparing the time of action on the boat, with the time of reaction in the laboratory ashore. This seemingly instantaneous transfer of information doesn't rule out physical reception of signals. Many radiations that we work with every day travel at or near the speed of light. At 186,000 miles per second, a physical signal could go around the world many times before a delay would be noticed. 
      Connecting signals between physical entities have been known to physicists for some time. In later pages we will discuss some of them. For now it is sufficient to say that electrons confined to relatively small areas seem to remain linked together later on no matter how far apart they become. 
      Remember that our bodies, our cells and our atoms are all combinations of particles. The electron happens to be a good possibility as an information messenger. 
      We are hopefully all aware of the chemical mechanism of sexual reproduction.  The male and the female each provide one half of the DNA chain necessary to produce a new human. Remember that these tiny bits of elemental material have resided with  the mother and father for some time. Remember also that each of us has a personal overall electrical oscillation. This comes from a combination of all of the materials (quantity and type) of our body. This body field is as individual as our fingerprints. Our electrical oscillation is imprinted on and is carried by the DNA that combines to form a new individual. This physical field is in addition to its unit electrons. 
      Just as the child has characteristics of both parents, he/she is also sensitive to their individual body fields. 
      In Quantum physics the property of locality arises. In most cases, local forces control the behavior of local systems. Forces such as gravity, light, heat and so forth greatly effect the growth of a fruit tree. They also effect us in similar ways. Most of what we sense is because of these forces. There are times though that non-local forces become involved. 
      It has been found when experimenting with quantum particles, that these sub- atomic particles can interact in one locality and then move very far apart. The rule for quantum particles is that even though they end up on opposite sides of an immense space (even the universe) , they are still  part of a unit and must be treated as such. Measurements performed on one particle will mirror the status of another particle of the same unit. The behavior of any one particle is measurably tied to all of the others no matter how great the distance between. This rule of the quantum that has been experimentally tested many times would seem to be operational in the rabbit test mentioned earlier. 
      Einstein disliked this finding because of its action at a distance. Recent experiments however have confirmed that these non-local effects do occur. 
      There is a bit of mother and father in every offspring. It seems to me that the result of the Russian experiment should have been expected. The problem for some experimenters is that this result seems to be categorized as a psychic phenomenon. As we move farther into this book, you will find that many so called psychic happenings are merely misunderstood quantum events.
      In order to understand more easily the phenomena of action at a distance and other equally strange quantum events, it will be necessary to briefly discuss time and space.
