Science, Perception and Prayer Rev. Franci Prowse

 
All of us need more certainty about the "field of all potentiality" theorized by quantum physicists. This field is portrayed as an awesome energy potentiality, awaiting our selection of certain probabilities, in a sincere and spontaneous manner. In this field, time and space are suspended. It may sound familiar to many in the New Thought movement. The work of Cleve Backster laid the ground work for scientific researchers to step into that field, away from the dry, emotionless science of old. Plants showed him the way to develop an awareness of the response capability in electroded foods, eggs, yogurt, fresh fruits, and living bacteria. This led him to electrode human white cells, which resulted in his demonstration of nonlocal instantaneous communication between human donors and their cells, even at a significant distance. Most of us in the consciousness movement do our meditations and prayers based on the training we've received, the books we've read and the dream we follow, aka faith. Yet uncertainty can plague us. I propose to show some of Backster's discoveries, and to tell about related research of others that will shine a light on the details. How does prayer actually work? Can a laboratory become a shrine to the presence of the Allness?
