ARE SCIENTISTS WIZARDS?
While today universal notoriety is lavished on greats such as Einstein and Tesla, the greats of the distant past were sometimes given the title of powerful “magician,” and went into lore or history books as being wizards. For many generations, however, the terms “magician” or “wizard” have fallen into disrepute, and individuals bearing those titles have been quickly discredited by scientists as being tricksters or frauds. However, we believe that because of what we are about to explain, that you too may come to think that it again could become a great honor rather than insult or childish comment to be called a wizard or sorceress.
First consider that some of the earliest scientists were being commissioned for the wealth-seeking purpose of turning base metals into gold. They were looking for a magic formula or chemistry to achieve this goal. In a roundabout way quantum physics may have unknowingly uncovered the secret of doing that. By implication of recent discoveries, quantum physics may have redirected to the correct area/paradigm in which one has some hope of finding the formula, thus revealing that alchemists had been working with the wrong ingredients for centuries.
As you read the rest of this article, as yourself, “has the paradigm shift in physics at the top opened the door for philosophies such as EN's to find and teach the long-sought formula to produce gold?” We're not suggesting the ability to manifest gold out of thin air (necessarily), but something more fundamental in terms of new processes based on our new understanding of what matter itself is composed of, and subjective and objective actions/processed controlling the form it takes. Could the mind—consciousness—be involved in the very process of matter formation, and if so, what does this mean for you—specifically, scientifically? Could the mind directly influence the creation of matter—or even better, control it—including personal wealth and good fortune (which gold symbolically represents)? Whatever you think or believe, please don't reject the idea just yet. Please first at least consider the quotes to follow by seven top world renown physicists. Pay careful attention to their every word.
You will see in a moment that what science has discovered will require a back flip into a 180º reorientation in our thinking on reality, a feat which the great physicists quoted in this article have begun, yet a challenge which many people will undoubtedly be unable or unwilling to meet.
A NEW PARADIGM OF CONSCIOUSNESS-BASED SCIENCE
Right now there is a growing sense of excitement on the part of many scientists. There is an acceleration of understanding regarding a new paradigm. Many scientists and laymen alike are sharing an almost surreal awe as they look at new facts. If it is even half true, the new picture of reality emerging across the globe may be the dawn of an awakening both profound and magical. Consider the following.
In the words of world renowned physicist John Wheeler:
Recent decades have taught us that physics is a magic window.
[Through physics in recent decades we have learned that] no elementary phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is a registered (observed) phenomenon…. Useful as it is under everyday circumstances to say that the world exists “out there” independent of us, that view can no longer be upheld.1
This “Alice in Wonderland” kind of reality we live in, in the words of renowned physicist Fred Alan Wolf:
Classical physics holds that there is a real world out there, acting independently of human consciousness. Consciousness, in this view, is to be constructed from real objects, such as neurons and molecules. It is a byproduct of the material causes which produce the many physical effects observed.
Quantum physics indicates that this theory cannot be true—the effects of observation “couple” or enter into the real world whether we want them to or not. The choices made by an observer alter, in an unpredictable manner, the real physical events. Consciousness is deeply and inextricably involved in this picture, not a byproduct of materiality.2
The ramifications involve all fields and all subjects. Consider the statement made by Harold J. Morowitz, a molecular biophysicist:
We are now in a position to integrate the perspectives of three large fields: psychology, biology and physics. …[resulting in] a picture of the whole that is quite unexpected.3
Quantum physicist Nick Herbert describes the pulsating nature of reality as follows:
It is an assembly of events rather than things. These events (called quanta) last for only an instant, and then fade away. Imagine a trillion trillion fireflies flashing in the space of your coffee cup. The cup is a never-still scintillating network of quantum events...4
Physicist Roger S. Jones says:
I had come to suspect, and now felt compelled to acknowledge, that science and the physical world were products of human imagining—that we were not the cool observers of that world, but its passionate creators. We were all poets and the world was our metaphor.5
Physicist Louis de Broglie discovered that all objects, whether it be a pea or a planet, had a nonphysical side—a second form—or what they called a quantum wave that is not “real” in our three-dimensional world, though its consequences are.
Physicist Erwin Schrödinger says that the world consists of elements of consciousness.
In the eyes of traditional science, and professionals and laymen scripted in the old mechanistic worldview, describing their reaction to the new paradigm as being “unexpected” is an understatement. Quantum physics is science, not entertainment. We're not dealing with a gypsy sideshow, rather the most highly educated, world's most accomplished scientific minds. Powerful microscopes are allowing examination of actual particle behavior. We are not being asked to believe other than what is being empirically proven. Renowned scientists know the universe is vibrating energy, for example. Still, despite such credibility, the new paradigm is unnerving and even taboo to scholars scripted in orthodox science. This is a typical reaction in all fields of study. Our new understanding of how the universe works clashes as violently with the status quo as homosexuality clashes with conservative Islam, or LSD-tripping hippies clashed with conservative values in the 1960's cultural revolution.
Consider the following facts: according to the work of the great physicist Werner Heisenburg, father of quantum physics, the entire universe is a nonphysical field of energy containing infinite potentially-physical events. The actual or “real” state of any physical event is brought forth through the act of observation. In this “Alice in Wonderland” kind of world we live in the observer is the creator of events, drawing from infinite probabilities that which then exhibits the properties of matter. Devastating to old world views is that such is the accepted interpretation of quantum theory.
This tells us that the Cinderella story of youth may be far more than just a children's fable.

The great deception of all time has lasted many, many, many centuries. Scientists weren't the only ones to assume that matter was the source of matter. We were all deceived. If energy or consciousness is the source of matter, the rules of the game change considerably. There's no merit in unnecessarily remaining deceived. We must revamp our sciences, religion, philosophies, psychology, medical professions and methods of achieving goals to fit the new paradigm. If consciousness forms the atoms composing the computers we manufacture, or the gold bars in banks, perhaps the mind can control what is manufactured, or what is allowed entry into ones ownership or personal life experiences. That's sort of like what wizards do, isn't it?
Yes, scientists are now barking up the right tree, and authors, laymen and others are busy extracting the formula now that quantum physics has told them where to look. The formula is not for the purpose of producing gold out of base metals, but to create a quality of consciousness in which everything one touches turns to gold, figuratively speaking. And that task is left to those working outside the box, outside what's accepted in traditional teachings; which can be free-thinking authors, or anyone able to produce philosophies like EN's.
As the new scientific paradigm and philosophies based on it catch on, and in the future go mainstream, being a wizard or sorceress may not be fantasy anymore. The future of science, psychology and metaphysics (all of which may merge), may revive long-past terms and arts—injecting them with new life and charisma. Perhaps the practical application of consciousness-based science will create a new kind of class—the modern day equivalents of wizards. The global success of the cult of Harry Potter may be a premonition of what's to come. Rising in the collective subconscious to be intuitively recognized by the youth who will someday sign up for accredited wizard or sorceress class in universities. Perhaps EN will be that school—the Hogwarts of the future. If this science or our philosophy interests you, and/or you wish to be a real wizard or sorceress, you have come to the right place. Regardless of what terms you prefer to use to describe a graduate, here at EN we specialize in the creation of fine wizard and dreams come true—and this is not fiction.
If you want everything you touch to turn to gold, so to speak. The time may be right for you to try an Earth Network International Education publication.
