magick and parallel universes was the universe and black holes in article ifpmcx vb fzfr andrew cmu edu nm w andrew cmu edu nanci ann miller writes emarsh hernes sun eng sun com eric marsh writes btw the parallel universe approach implys an element of mind in the very physical reality of the universe this sounds interesting but what exactly do you mean well the best thing to do is to read the book parallel universes by dr fred wolf in essence dr wolf says that one interpretation of the sub atomic particle wave duality is that what we perceive as a wave is actually an infinate number of parallel universes overlaid and in each of these universes there is a particle in a different location when we do something to make a particle appear we are actually causing all the parallel universes to collapse into one apparently this is one line of thought on the nature of qm that is going through some of the scientific community dr wolf and many others claim that somehow the collapse is caused by the mental effort of observing the particle this implys that mind is more than merely a biological phenomenon he then extrapolates that if mind is an integral part of the universe then perhaps consciousness is the element that gives order and form to the universe s it themself s it all gets rather interesting but what i find facinating is that this would explain the phenomenon of magick as practiced in my religion dr wolf speculates that the ordering functionality of mind could be caused by the selection of a future from an infinite number of possible futures he says that this might be done by some sort of communication between ones current and possible future selves i have long speculated that if magick is not merely a form of self delusion then perhaps it could be caused by some sort of a selection of one of many possible futures i realize that this gets pretty bizarre but it never hurts to keep an open mind and at least file it all away as another possibile explaination of the world in which we find ourselves after all the more we learn about the universe in which we live the more we learn that it is truly a very strange place nanci eric
