Time, Entangled Minds and the Lycurgus Cup

Good morning.

As most of you know, I am interested in many different subjects. Science, human consciousness and the ancient world are three of those subjects. Today I discovered a fascinating article in Smithsonian about a 1,600-year-old Roman glass goblet, called the Lycurgus Cup, that looks jade green when you shine a light on it from a position in front of the goblet and red if you shine a light from behind it.

For many years, no one could figure out why the glass changed color.




I always wonder when I read an article like this how the discovery was made?

Around 400 AD, why and how would someone grind down precious metals of gold and silver into particles smaller than one-thousandth the size of a grain of table salt?

Where do innovative ideas come from?

Carl Jung, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology, proposed the idea that all humans are connected to and can communicate with each other via what he called the collective unconscious.

Dean Radin is a contemporary scientist who has spent most of his professional life researching a phenomena, which he calls psi, by which humans can communicate at a distance instantaneously without using a telephone or any other apparent means of communication. Although he has demonstrated that humans can communicate at a distance via thought at a rate that consistently exceeds chance, they cannot do it all of the time.

Despite his experimental results, Radin cannot explain how communication happens other than to say that human minds are entangled. Until he or someone else does, mainstream scientists are unlikely to accept his experimental results.

Some people believe that time does not exist.

Do you believe in Radin’s entangled minds or Jung’s collective unconscious?

Do you believe people can communicate with each other via entanglement or the collective unconscious in the past and the future as well as the present?

Might this explain why an artisan in 400 AD created the Lycurgus Cup?
