E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality

by Pam Grout

“There is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities.

Every thought we have, every judgment we make, impacts the field of potentiality. In fact, reality is nothing but waves of possibility that we have “observed” into form. This principle states, “You impact the field and draw from it according to your beliefs and expectations,”

and to prove it we’ll set the following clear intention: “This is what I want to pull out of the field in the next 48 hours.”

4. The Abracadabra Principle. Most people associate the word abracadabra with magicians pulling rabbits out of hats. It’s actually an Aramaic term that translates into English as, “I will create as I speak.” It’s a powerful

concept. It’s why Edison often announced the invention of a device before he’d actually invented it. It’s why Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for $10 million long before he ever made a movie. This principle simply says, “Whatever you focus on expands,” and in the experiment you’ll learn that there’s no such thing as an idle thought and that all of us are way too cavalier and tolerant of our minds’ wandering.

7. The Jenny Craig Principle. Whether you’re a label reader or not, you know the food you eat offers certain vitamins, minerals, and of course, calories. You probably think these nutrients are cut-and-dried, that if the back of the yogurt container says it has 187 calories, then it has 187 calories. What you may not know is that your thoughts about yourself and your food are in a constant dance with your body. And that when you feel guilty about consuming calories, your food picks up a negative vibe that ricochets right back at you. In this experiment, you’ll prove the principle “Your thoughts and consciousness provide the scaffolding for your physical body” by infusing your food with love. 8. The 101 Dalmatians Principle. This all-important spiritual principle states: “You are connected to everything and everyone else in the universe.” Scientists call it nonlocality, and if you watched the cartoon version of 101 Dalmatians, you saw the principle in action. Remember when Cruella De Vil’s evil cohorts were trying to capture the escaped puppies?

The old Scottish terrier in the barn where they were hiding barked for help to a basset hound in the next county, who, in turn, barked the message to a dachshund farther along the route. Only in quantum physics, the communication happens instantaneously. The very instant the Scottish terrier knows that the puppies require help, the dachshund, 20 miles away, also knows. Anything that happens to one particle is instantaneously communicated to the other. In this experiment, you’ll send messages to people in other places without the use of e-mail, letters, or loud explosions. 9. The Fish and Loaves Principle. This principle states: “The universe is limitless, abundant, and strangely accommodating.” It will also prove that your fears are pointless and that maybe it’s okay to take a big, deep breath.

The First Step in Spiritual Enlightenment: Give Up Your Powerful Attachment to Conventional Reality “We are all captives of a story.” —DANIEL QUINN, AUTHOR OF ISHMAEL Reality ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it’s not a stretch to say that everything you think is real is not. Physicists, for going on 100 years now, have not known what to make of the fact that Newton’s classical view of the world has absolutely no bearing on the way the world works at its core. The subatomic realm so defies all reason and logic that most scientists, scared to endanger their academic credentials, have more or less ignored the fact that life is nothing like what we pretend it is.

We Observe Things into Form “It takes zero faith. What it takes is imagination. … If it’s clear in your thought, it is even this moment barreling down on you like a Mack truck.” —RICHARD BACH, AUTHOR OF ILLUSIONS AND OTHER METAPHYSICAL NOVELS

The minute you make an intention, you create it. It’s instantaneous. It exists as an actual thing. You don’t see it yet because you’re still operating from linear time. You’re still sold on the old-school adage “creating things takes time.” So you keep working and waiting. You keep following the seven steps from the latest self-help book. But here’s what physicists tell us. Things, in the quantum world, do not happen in steps. They happen immediately.

Let’s take being broke, for example. Most of us can agree we don’t want to be broke. So what do we do? We devote our minds to avoiding it. We work long hours. We call our stockbrokers. We read books and articles about getting rich, fully ignoring the fact that by trying to “get” rich, we are devoting our minds to the idea that we’re not already rich. Consequently, we’ve decided in advance to be broke. If we simply devote our minds to feeling rich, to being grateful for all the already-apparent riches in our lives—say, our families and our wonderful friends—being broke would disappear. We only experience it because we devote our thoughts to it. That’s how powerful our minds are.

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”

You just keep taking it back outside and showing it a different reality until finally it realizes, Wow, there’s a whole big world out there. And it’s a lot more fun to pee on trees and bushes and fire hydrants than on Pam’s ratty old house slippers. Your mind will be astonished by the beauty that’s available when you put it on the spot. Deep peace will appear. Great ideas will materialize and expand. Joy will rise up. The only thing you need do is devote your mind only to things you want. If you want peace, think of peace. If you want love, think of love. If you want Jimmy Choo pumps, think

of Jimmy Choo pumps. Do not think about how peace looks impossible or that love seems fleeting or that there’s no money in your bank account for Jimmy Choo pumps. Keep your mind focused only on what you want. And anytime that puppy starts heading toward those slippers, pick it up and take it back outside.

Lab Report Sheet The Principle: The Dude Abides Principle The Theory: There is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities. And it’s yours for the asking. The Question: Does the FP exist? The Hypothesis: If there’s a 24/7 energy force equally available to everyone, I can access it at any time simply by paying attention. Furthermore, if I ask the force for a blessing, giving it a specific time frame and clear instructions, it’ll send me a gift and say, “My pleasure.” Time Required: 48 hours Today’s Date:__________ Time: __________ Deadline for Receiving Gift: __________ The Approach: I hate to break it to ya, FP, but folks are starting to talk. They’re starting to wonder, “Is this guy for real?” I mean, really, like it’d be so much skin off your chin to

come down here and call off this crazy hide-and-seek thing you’ve been playing. I’m giving you exactly 48 hours to make your presence known. I want a thumbs-up, a clear sign, something that cannot be written off as coincidence. Research Notes:________________________________ ______________________________________________

“The course of the world is not predetermined by physical laws … the mind has the power to affect groups of atoms and even tamper with the odds of atomic behavior.” —SIR ARTHUR STANLEY EDDINGTON, ENGLISH MATHEMATICIAN AND ASTROPHYSICIST The Premise Japanese scientist Dr. Masaru Emoto spent 15 years researching the effects of human speech, thoughts, and emotions on physical matter. Dr. Emoto chose one of matter’s

four traditional elements—water—to see how it responds to words, music, prayers, and blessings. Using more than 10,000 samples of water, Emoto and his research assistants spoke to, played music for, and asked monks to recite prayers over the water. The samples were then frozen, and the resulting ice crystals were examined under a microscope. In case you’re wondering what water has to do with anything, dig this: Water is present everywhere—even in the air—and since the human body and, indeed, the earth consist of 70 percent water, it stands to reason that if words and thoughts impact water on its own, they will also affect larger, more complex systems also made up of water. What Emoto found is that when scientists treated the water “kindly,” by saying such things as “I love you” and “thank you,” the resulting water crystals became clear and beautifully formed. But when Emoto and his team talked negatively to the water, screaming such snide comments as “I hate you!” or “You idiot!” the crystals formed dark, ugly holes. When Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel” was played, the resulting frozen crystal split in two.

In one photo, he shows how a sample from the dam at Fujiwara Lake, starting out as a dark and amorphous blob, is completely transformed after a priest prays over it for just one hour. The ugly crystal turned into a clear, bright-white hexagonal crystal-within-a-crystal. He also found that prayer could create new types of crystals that had never before been seen. We in the West are not taught about energy and the power of our body/mind. Instead of being trained to tune in to our innate intelligence, we’re told, “Here’s a doctor. Here’s a nurse. When something’s wrong, consult with them.” Coaches tell us i...

I also highly recommend a book called The Biology of Belief, by Bruce Lipton.

“I am because we are.” —TENET OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN PHILOSOPHY KNOWN AS UBUNTU The Premise In this experiment, you’ll prove that you are interconnected with everyone and everything through an “invisible” field of intelligence and

energy. In quantum-speak, this lattice of connections is called nonlocality. And even though it’s one of the signature concepts of quantum mechanics, nonlocality, along with its cousin entanglement, has incited much head-scratching over the last 300 years, starting with Sir Isaac Newton, who considered what he called “action at a distance” ludicrous (despite the fact that his own theory of gravity had proposed just such a phenomenon). To be brief, nonlocality is when two particles behave synchronously with no intermediary. But it doesn’t make logical sense, right? If you want to move, say, an abandoned shoe in the middle of the floor, you have to touch the shoe or touch a broom that touches the shoe or instruct your five-year-old, the one who left it there, to pick it up, via vibrations through the air to his ear. Things can only affect things that are in the immediate vicinity. There has to be a sequence, a chain of events. We believe that we can only alter things we can touch. But that’s not the case. We’ve now got a demonstrably more accurate model that proves that one object, without being anywhere near a second object, can influence

the second object. Unfortunately, most of us still persist in hanging on to the old “chain-of-events” worldview, even though physicists have demonstrated time and time again that once an atom has been in the proximity of another atom, it will be influenced (or entangled) by that atom no matter how far away it travels. Even Einstein couldn’t bring himself to fully embrace this counterintuitive concept. An even weirder conundrum is that once the atoms have interacted, they’re entangled forever. We have even proved that nonlocality and entanglement work on bigger things—like humans. In 1978, Dr. Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (later replicated by London neuropsychiatrist Peter Fenwick) hooked two test subjects to electroencephalographs in isolated rooms. The brain-wave pattern produced by a series of strobe lights in one of the subject’s eyes...

is hooked up via the Internet to an infinite amount of information, you—by virtue of being a human being—are hooked up to everyone else in the world. Sometimes, when I want to communicate to someone in another part of the world, I whisper my message to the giant oak tree in my front yard. Needless to say, trees, like the dogs in 101 Dalmatians, are interconnected, and the oak can easily send messages to a palm tree in a friend’s yard in California through the concept of nonlocality. In thi...

Here are the steps: 1. Choose your target. While it’s certainly possible to send a message to practically anyone, I suggest choosing someone you’ve already met. Bruce Rosenblum, professor of physics at the University of California–Santa Cruz, claims that once you’ve met someone and shaken that person’s hand, you are forever entangled. 2. Choose what kind of action or response you want. The more specific you can get, the better. Be very clear about your agenda. For my most recent experiment, I

sent a message to my partner Jim: “Bring home a loaf of bread.” 3. Place your target in front of your mind’s eye. 4. “Be” with your target by embodying and experiencing your connection. Words are often an ineffective way to get a message across. Engage all your senses. And believe in your message. To make it more effective and to add a little fun, shower your target with good thoughts. Send them incomparable blessings. Think about them winning the lottery, getting a date with Channing Tatum, winning a trip around the world.
