The universe jumps around when you're not watching

[Stranger]

Results of a new quantum physics experiment demonstrates that atoms stop tunneling when being observed.

In principle, this is not very different from the diffraction experiments that have been carried out for decades.  But it's still neat to know that the universe pretends to follow the rules of classical physics only when it's being watched.

Does that mean the universe is literally alive and just playing along with us as if we're children who can't be shown the bigger picture yet...oooorrrr...??

What does it do when no one is looking...?

The irony in all of this is how they're discovering it to try and learn to control it.

Good luck Humans.....

Every unobserved particle of reality becomes a wave, spread out infinitely.
Unobserved, it becomes a probabilistic universe. Existing potentially in all places at once.

So am I potentially just a particle in a particle in a particle in a particle that is being unobserved externally?

Does that mean every 'smallest' is still the 'biggest', a universe the size of less than something that we can't even observe?

Are we that then?

Before you lies infinity, behind you also lies infinity. 

Picture infinite Octaves of existence all existing one within another. Each being the harvest of a previous one, each allowing a lesser Octave to be within itself and each existing within a greater one. The ever-evolving infinity.

Everything is alive.  Nothing is mechanical.  Even in our bodies, the things we call "automatic functions" are carried out by our Unconscious Awareness.  (The Unconscious Awareness is only unconscious to our conscious minds, i.e., it's in our unconscious.  But in itself, it's as awake and conscious as we are).  It is the secret of healing - since it controls all our body functions, it can heal us. It needs two things to do so: 1) a request or permission from us, and 2) an energy source.
