Quantum Creating: Could Dark Matter Hold the Key To The Reality Riddle and Your Goals?
Welcome to the Dark Side. Did you know that 90% of what the universe (and therefore also you and I) is made up of actually can’t be seen? We’ve discussed before how everything has more empty space in it than actual atoms and molecules. But is this space actually empty? According to physicists it’s actually filled with dark matter – something that cannot be detected by normal means – i.e. a telescope or even something like the Large Hadron Collider. However, scientists know it exists because of its effect on what we can see – galaxies, stars and also sub-atomic particles.
Very little is known however about Dark Matter but new research suggests that it could hold the key to solving some of the riddles which have emerged via Quantum mechanics such as Quantum entanglement and also the concept of faster-than-light travel. We’ve been discussing here on MK how consciousness may be able to travel faster than light and how our thoughts may therefore not be subject to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. But what is being used to transport those thoughts from one part of the universe to the other? Could Dark Matter be the medium of mediumship?
Research carried out by two physicists from Baylor University may provide an answer. Dr. Gerald Cleaver and Dr. Richard Obousy have come up with a new theory that would enable faster-than-light travel without violating Einstein’s theory by harnessing Dark Matter and utilising string theory. String theory tells us that what we think of as ‘reality’ is made up of 11 dimensions. They say the 11th dimension holds the key to faster-than-light travel. By manipulating Dark Matter in this 11th dimension they could create a ‘bubble’ of dark energy – the same energy that caused the universe to expand right after the Big Bang. If this ‘bubble’ was behind say, the starship Enterprise, it would expand space behind the ship and shrink space in front of it, propelling it forward much like surfer rides a wave at infinite speeds. But here’s the freaky bit – the ship would not actually move even if Captain Kirk ordered Warp Factor 8 – it would be space and time that moved!
However, faster-than-light travel for anything other than our thoughts may be someway off as Doctors Cleaver and Obousy have calculated that one would require huge amounts of dark energy to influence the 11 dimensions to bring about the faster-than-light travel – equivalent to the mass of Jupiter in fact.
The exciting thing about this theory is that it does not violate the Theory of Relativity and may also explain why Quantum entanglement works leading to the question: when we entangle a goal do we move towards it or does the universe move into alignment to bring it to us? I believe it may be a combination of both and by Quantum Creating we may be unwitting manipulating Dark Matter and moving space and time without realising it to bring about the reality we want. As we discover more about what constitutes ‘reality’ and our universe, who knows where it can take us.

Share Your Genius – The Way of the Evolver
We’ve been talking a lot about memes recently – those ideas which just take hold and infect many of us until they become mainstream. Today of course we’re all too familiar with internet memes – ideas that quickly go viral and the advent of the internet has meant that all of us have the potential to share and send out ideas which can have a big effect on people around the globe. I’m sure all of you are familiar with the saying ‘One person can change the world’ but now we’re living in a time where one thought can change the world.
But on a soul growth level how does this effect us as individuals? When we talk about memes people can easily become confused and focus on the negative associations of memes and dismiss what is in my opinion, a fantastic opportunity at this key stage of global soul evolution, to evolve. The whole point of understanding memes is not just to be affected by the memes others put out there but to know that memes allow us to share our unique experiences, gifts and the way we view the world with others. I call this adopting The Way of the Evolver.
The Evolver path first of all means understanding we are all unique. As both Carl Sagan and also Professor Darryl Reanney in his book Music of the Mind have stated: ‘We are the stuff that stars are made of.’ Professor Reanney talks about how all matter in the universe – the galaxies, stars, planets, you, me, duck-billed platypuses, ants – share the same matter that was created at the moment of the Big Bang. We are therefore made of the same stuff as the stars (and are also as old as the universe itself which makes us all 13.75 billion years old!). We are all unique, and while we may all share access to the same ideas (memes) and the same Collective Unconscious or Universal Knowledge Matrix, our experiences and also how we interpret the information, is unique to us and we continue to develop and evolve this throughout our lives. This is our own personal Shard of Genius if you like because nobody will ever experience the world in exactly the same way we do although there will always be key points at which our experiences overlap and resonate with others – what might be referred to as archetypal or mythological motifs.
When you decide to adopt the Way of the Evolver it’s not only about being mindful of the memes you spreading or even replacing outworn or negative memes with positive ones. It’s about understanding that you have a place in all of this new Quantum paradigm that is more important and empowering that you could ever have imagined. By understanding that memes themselves evolve as they travel from mind to mind and from groups out into the collective, you can then choose how you wish to enhance or interpret them. Your personal ‘take’ on a meme then becomes your own contribution to the Way of the Evolver and instead of just being a passive participant on the path, you become a co-creator of it.
After all, if you’re made of the same stuff as the stars then surely this proves your place in this universe and in the evolutionary process, is far more important than what you previously thought. Surely that’s a meme worth spreading?
The Space/Time Warp – Can Our Thoughts Travel Faster Than Light to Create What We Want?
Einstein based his Theory of Relativity on the basis that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. This was the basis of how we defined our universe until of course the advent of Quantum physics and what Einstein himself called ‘spooky action at a distance’ – or Quantum entanglement. For those of you new to our Quantum Reality posts, Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles at a distance (say on either side of the galaxy), become ‘entangled’ and start behaving as one instantaneously. I also use the principle of Quantum entanglement in some of my Quantum Creating techniques. Scientists have already completed mind-warping experiments with entangled particles that appear to defy the laws of space/time even more – that particles appear to know that other particles are entangled before that entanglement occurs.
If you’re holding your head in your hands and saying ‘My brain is about to explode!’, that’s okay. As one of the fathers of Quantum physics Niels Bohr famously said: ‘If you aren’t confused by Quantum physics then you haven’t really understood it’. Scientists have now been trying to conduct experiments to try to explain how particles separated by thousands of light years can react instantaneously within Einstein’s theory – as nothing according to it can travel faster than light. Otherwise they worry this means we will have to toss out the Theory of Relativity all together and start again and after all – the Theory of Relativity is working very well for us! Researchers at the University of Geneva and the Centre for Quantum Technologies and the Department of Physics of the National University of Singapore have undertaken tests that appear to point to whatever is influencing the particles is travelling at some faster than-light-speed however. So, does this mean we throw out Relativity? I don’t believe this will necessarily be the case. I believe everything is connected and if the mere observation of something causes it to change as Quantum physics has proved, then the influence is thought. Our thoughts literally have the means to travel faster than the speed of light. As Professor Nicolas Gisin of the University of Geneva and one of the team members puts it:
“Our result gives weight to the idea that quantum correlations somehow arise from outside space/time, in the sense that no story in space and time can describe them.”
Our consciousness, our thoughts arise not from our brains but the universal consciousness which would indeed, operate outside of space/time. To further illustrate how complex the problem is for the scientists – they have concluded that what is influencing particles that are entangled may involve an 80-dimensional object – only Quantum physics could come up with something that sounds as if it came straight from a sci-fi novel.
Our thoughts are energy than can travel faster than light. Their speed is probably infinite. What you can imagine can be created by you.
Do we want a reality where we can journey to the stars and to the far reaches of our own potential? It seems our thoughts more than ever, are the means to get us there.

Spooky! Halloween Traditions Around the World
For those of you getting ready to carve your pumpkins and Trick or Treat, the period around All Hallows Eve is for many a time of seasonal change and for paying tribute to dead. In the Celtic tradition, October 31st marked the end of Autumn (Lughnasadh) and the start of Samhain (Winter). At this time it was believed the portals between our world and the world of spirit were open enabling people to connect to spiritual guidance and also the spirits of those who had passed over. It was traditionally a time of honouring the Lord and Lady of the land, of thanks for harvest and of preparing for the winter. I always take the time to honour my dead friends and relatives and put some food, drink and a bit of tobacco out underneath their photo’s and welcome any messages from them. It is a time of celebrating those who have passed and a time when some say it is easier for them to pop back and have a catch up!
In the United States Halloween has become the third biggest holiday of the year – after Christmas and Thanksgiving, with millions dressing up and Trick or Treating – and it’s not just the kids. I wonder how many know they are keeping a pagan tradition alive?
In Latin America, November 1st and 2nd marks the festival of the Day of the Dead. There is a direct link between this and the Catholic holidays of All Soul’s and All Saint’s Days although this again can be traced back to the indigenous pagan cultures of Native Americans as this was traditionally an Aztec festival! Many of you who have visited countries like Mexico or even the Southwestern United States during this time may have seen the incredible decorations, food and festivities that surround this holiday. People build their own private altars which they decorate with figurines, sugar skulls, marigolds and often their departed ones favourite foods and visit their graves. November 1st is the day to remember babies and children who have died as it is usually called Dia de los Angelitos (Day of the Little Angels) while the Day of the Dead – the day for remembering other relatives who have died is November 2nd.
For those of you keen to keep the tradition alive but not the more modern commercial aspects, carving pumpkin lanterns is still fun or you can use candles instead. If you are interested in a traditional Celtic ceremony to end Lughnasadh, then light your lantern or candle on the 31st and repeat the following:
Go with thanks and go with blessing,
Season of soul’s nurturing.
Souls with fruits are deeply freighted,
Hearts are healed rejoicingly.
As ripened fruit and grain have travelled,
You have come to Autumn’s barn.
Forest Lord whose clearings echo,
Sovereign Lady who had poured,
Touch the hidden mystery in us,
Aid us to find Winter’s hoard.
Take advantage of the traditional belief that the doors between this world and that of spirit are open on October 31st to set your goals and intentions from now until spring. You never know, your Ancestors on the other side just might be listening!

Animal Communication SOS. Help: I Can’t Catch My Horse!
Most horse owners including myself have gone through a period where their horses become difficult to catch. Often this is just confined to a few days when the spring grass comes through. But what do you do if you start to find your horse has become difficult if not impossible to catch?
1: Think like your horse. What is this ‘good deal’ you are offering that he should want to come with you when he could be in the paddock with his buddies? Does your interaction with your horse comprise of quickly turning him out in the mornings, putting him in at night with some feed and occasional rides? If so, no wonder he prefers the company of his friends. Spend quality time with your horse and chances are he’ll want to come and spend time with you.
2: Don’t pretend you are not there to catch him. Whatever you do don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you should hide your halter. If your horse has become difficult to catch chances are the moment he sees you he’ll start walking off whether you’re hiding the halter or not. Have your halter and rope in plain sight. When you enter the paddock walk towards him and say something like: ‘Hi buddy, how about we go in and get some tea?’ Walk towards your horse at a steady pace, holding the halter where he can see it, clearly showing your intention to catch him.
3: Don’t bribe! People may tell you to take a bucket of feed or offer treats. Don’t. For one thing you are teaching your horse bad manners. For another, he will probably grab the treat and then run off. Have a treat hidden in a pocket for when you DO catch your horse. Your horse only receives the treat when he has done as you asked and you have his head collar secure and the rope attached.
4: Don’t run after your horse. Do you really think you can win this one? You’ll be collapsed in a heap on the ground when your horse is only just warming up. Not only that, he’ll treat this as a game.
So, you’re in your paddock, halter in hand, treat hidden and your horse is moving away from you. Now what? Follow your horse at a steady walk. Do not speed up. If you horse changes direction, turn and follow but keep the same pace all the time even if you horse begins to trot. Project your energy from your abdominals and ‘push’ your horse onwards if he tries to graze. The idea is that if your horse is not going to be caught he’s not going to graze either. Horses are highly intelligent. He will soon begin to work out he’s not going to be allowed to feed. His two options will now be keep moving or come with you.
Keep talking to your horse in an even voice and keep repeating it’s time to come in to do what you have planned. Start to watch what your horse is doing. You are now looking for something called the ‘tell’. This is when your horse begins listening to you and will show you he is getting ready to be caught. Usually your horse will stop and turn towards you with an almost questioning look on his face. When this happens stop. Now, drop into a squat talking to your horse. Often at this point your horse will walk right over as he’ll be intrigued what’s going on. If you horse remains standing where he is, slowly stand up and talking all the time, walk towards him. If he moves off again simply watch for the next ‘tell’ which won’t now be long coming. Repeat the squat and if your horse doesn’t move stand up and walk towards him again.
I have always found that any horse no matter how difficult to catch, will be caught within five minutes of showing you the first ‘tell’. Once you have caught your horse, pat him, praise him and give him his treat. Above all, no matter how long is has taken you to get to this stage, act as if your horse came to you at once.
You will find that it will take less and less time to catch your horse each time you do this until you should be able to catch him with no trouble at all. Natural horsemanship practitioners will find that repeating ‘Join Up’ also often solves this problem and if you haven’t done Join Up yet then consider doing so with the help of someone experienced and you’ll discover your horse is not only easy to catch – he’ll follow you anywhere!
Discovering Your Purpose – the Ultimate Soul Journey
I’ve talked a lot about the importance of finding your soul path and how to find one’s path or calling is one of the most popular questions our readers get asked. There is no doubt that finding our ‘calling’ – what we’re here to do in our own unique way, is a big part of our spiritual growth and also in leading a happy, fulfilled life. But what if no matter how hard you try you can’t find what it is you’re here to do?
I believe we all have a purpose for being here and that each of us is given skills, talents and abilities which we all express in our unique individual way. However, often we lose touch with them – we can say, we lose touch with a crucial part of our creative soul expression which leaves us uncertain as adults as to whether we have anything special to offer at all. Sometimes this comes about through what I call ‘Well Meaning Fear’ transmitted usually by our parents. Well Meaning Fear seeks to protect us from the same disappointments they may have experienced when they were young. Perhaps they were brought up with the message that life isn’t meant to be easy. So – when you say you’d like to be a vet/athlete/chef – it doesn’t matter what it is – instead of saying ‘Wow! I think you’d be really good at that! Let’s find out all we can about it’, Well Meaning Fear says: ‘It’s very hard to be a vet/athlete/chef. Perhaps you should think about learning Excel Spreadsheets instead’.
Some people however come from more toxic environments where instead of being encouraged their dreams were ridiculed and they were put down. But the result is usually the same – as adults we can have become so cut off from our idea of what we are capable of doing – let alone our dreams, that we settle for anything that comes along, all the time wondering why we feel so empty and unfulfilled. If this sounds like your situation, take heart. It’s never too late to re-connect to your soul purpose and you can have huge amounts of fun doing it!
If you talk to people who are following their bliss or soul path the one thing the majority of them will tell you is that what they are doing is directly related to something they were interested in or loved to do when they were young. So, the first thing to do is to think about what you liked doing as a child or teenager – no matter how frivolous or childish you may think it is today (or have been made to think it is!). Make a list. Now – and this is the crucial part and the key to finding your direction – when you were involved in this activity did time appear to stand still? Were you so ‘in the moment’ doing it that you not only had no concept of time passing but you also had no thoughts of anything beyond what you were doing it was so engrossing? This is known as being in the ‘flow’ and a real sign that whatever it is you were doing is linked to your soul path or purpose.
You may be one of the lucky ones reading this and you already have an activity in your life where you totally lose track of time and where you are totally ‘in the moment’ with it. Perhaps this is something you have always done. If so, now look at it carefully – how can you expand this so that it can sustain you economically as well as spiritually? Because I can tell you that no matter what it is, there is somebody already out there doing it for a living – and doing it successfully.
By re-connecting with your bliss you not only discover what you are here to do but also re-connect to parts of you that have been lost. When we know who we really are we have a greater understanding of what it is we need to be truly happy. Your unique soul purpose is there just waiting for you to discover it. Remember, people who know their purpose are empowered people. All you need to find your purpose and all the empowerment that comes with it, is an open mind and a willingness to have fun. So make your passion work for you.
