The Double Slit Experiment: How Consciousness Creates Reality

Is reality an illusion that we create with our minds?  

Does consciousness create the material world?  

superstring fieldBefore we answer this question, it’s important to note that “reality” is not simply made of tiny physical pieces.  Molecules are made out of atoms, and atoms are made out of subatomic particles such as protons and electrons which are 99.99999% empty space. These are then made out of quarks, which then are a part of a superstring field of some kind which consists of vibrating strings of energy.









This last point is interesting, because it implies that without a conscious observer present to collapse this wave, it would remain physically un-manifested.  Observation not only disturbs what has to be measured, it produces the effect.  This was verified in what is known as the double-slit experiment, where the presence of a conscious observer changed the behavior of an electron from a wave state to a particle state.


superstring fieldThe findings of this experiment were published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, in which the scientists summarized saying “The introduction of a which- path (welcher Weg) detector for determining the actual path taken by the particle inevitably involved coupling the particle to a measuring environment, which in turn results in dephasing (suppression of interference).” That’s quite a mouthful, but it basically means that the measurement system used to detect the activity of the particle effected the behavior of that particle.



These findings provide huge implications for how we understand out interconnectedness with the external world, and the kind of relationship we can have with the universe. We as living beings have direct access to the source of all being and the ground of all physical existence. Consciousness. ”We create our reality” is used to refer to the fact that our thoughts create the perspective we have of the world, but we now have a more concrete and literal understanding of this phrase. We give rise to the physical universe with our subjectivity. The fabric of the universe itself is consciousness, and we just happen to possess one little ripple of a universal sea. How lucky we are to experience this miracle of life as the universe continues to experience its consciousness through us.

    When one’s mind is well meditated and full of conciousness, are we producing pure energy (wave like energy) through our 2 nostrils? Can this be relevant at all to double slit experiment? The waves produced look just like those from the sacred geometry.

    He’s so confused as to the chicken and the egg question, like, which one came first. He seem to make it so hard on himself, while having go back into a textbook to support his ambiguity. Spit it out Dear Dr. Amit Goswami. Here we go dear Dr. Amit Goswami, corporeal life-it,s out of one there are many.
