Now to the operation of the communicative and creative power of consciousness. Hal Puthoff, a highly trained physicist,5 speculates on the existence of a form of energy subject to the influence of conscious intent and hypothesizes how the latter acts on the former. He supports the contention of physicists like David Bohm and David Peat that there is some sort of all pervasive energy field connecting every aspect and every being of the universe, labeling it quantum zero-point energy (ZPE). (So labeled because it remains active at absolute zero.) He does not believe this energy exists parallel to the electromagnetic spectrum; in his thinking, nature is too economical to have created two such all pervasive forces.
Puthoff’s evidence leads him to believe ZPE is a dynamic force throughout the space/vacuum of the universe without which there would be no manifestation of atomic particles. His idea of this force or field of charges puts him on the cutting edge of new physics. It leads him to posit that gravity is not a separate force, but an aspect of this ambient energy field. It is called into play as a function of the process that creates an entity in the first place. In other words, each manifestation of matenergy, whether subatomic particle or total human, defines its own location (characterized by the inertia of its charge field). Thus, each entity requires interaction with another entity to change its position. (Newton’s “apple falling from the tree” example of gravity would require the “intention” of the apple as well as of the Earth in Puthoff’s model.)
In demonstrating that there is a continuing equilibrium between the vibration of all matter and the ZPE field, Puthoff shows the feasibility of conveying information through the latter. This is possible because the ZPE/subtle energy field is a perpetual link between any one point and everywhere else in the universe. It appears that Puthoff’s singular and universal ZPE field acts the same as Backster’s and the Institute’s subtle energy field that connects all life forms. If so, how does a thought or idea interact with it?
The $64 question is how does consciousness cohere or concentrate this subtle energy into useable structures, like the morphic forms German institute meditators project into the subtle realm to heal disease in plants or influence animal behavior at a distance? Puthoff suggests it may work like fiber optics in the physical realm; the expression of intent at one point selectively changes the electro- or magnetic charge of the ZPE and permits the instantaneous transfer of information through an invisible “tube” to the chosen target. (The process could work in reverse in the case of remote viewing or other forms of clairvoyance.)
If a focused thought literally zaps out its own signature pattern by changing a pathway of charges in the ZPE field, the mystical idea of local consciousness interconnected with universal consciousness is borne out in the laboratory. It would demonstrate that each conscious being has the same potential access to information in the universe as any other. Thus, all humans are “psychics,” requiring only focusing of the intent to communicate with the desired target through Puthoff’s “fiber optic” channel of positive and negative charge reversals. (Keep in mind how much information computers transmit through a binary code.)
