Beyond boundaries

From The Christian Science Journal - March 28, 2011

Originally appeared on spirituality.com


Beginnings and endings. Starts and stops. “Here’s” and “there’s.” Those are the perspectives and viewpoints from which just about everyone both recognizes and apprehends what they “see” before them. Everything is perceived in terms of borders—as having starting points and ending points.

During the last several decades, physicists have been exploring a fascinating phenomenon called “quantum entanglement.” This happens when sub-atomic particles that originate from the same source separate, traveling light years apart from one another. Surprisingly, as they travel they remain coordinated—entangled, so to speak. When one particle’s orientation is changed, say with a polarizing filter, the other particle, even though billions of miles away, changes direction in a coordinated manner. Boundaries and distance do not apply.

In his incredibly eye-opening book, Mind Underlies Spacetime, author Dan Cowan explains that, “… this direct connectedness occurs because each real entity is already everywhere …” (San Mateo, California: Joseph Publishing, p. 10).
