I have been a strong proponent of helping people understand that during the last decade or so, as it lies at the very bottom of how we know anything. Let me give a couple examples to get that point across.
Edgar MitchellIn my opinion, fundamentalist Christians are just as bad as fundamentalist Islam and, at the very core, neither religion is like that.
Edgar MitchellIt's starting to catch hold, and in large measure it's because we're starting to understand that much of what we have talked about in ancient mythology and mystical experience and so forth can pretty well be modeled within the world of quantum physics. That's a 20th century phenomenon also.
Edgar MitchellThe quantum fluctuations within a zero-point field can start the process that builds the process, which builds into matter, an irreversible process. We have some evidence that suggests that. We don't have a Big Bang, but we have a lot of little pops! A continuous set of little pops!
Edgar MitchellItโs been very well demonstrated that our belief system effects how we behave and how we perform. . . It also effects our lifestyle, so that if we donโt believe that we can help ourselves, we probably cannot. If we donโt believe that positive information is useful to our health and well being, it probably wonโt be.
