The Sun May Prove Our Consciousness is Entangled at Quantum Level
The building blocks of humanity and all beings on Earth originally came from space; we are all connected physically and consciously.
Carl Sagan’s famous line, “We are made of star stuff, we are a way of the cosmos to know itself” is not just hyperbole or even theory. A 2017 study showed the six most common elements of life on Earth — carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus — are found in stars.
This idea has been the driving force for countless astronomers, including Gaia News contributor Marc Dantonio.
“Carl Sagan was my favorite astronomer and I heard him say when he first said it, ‘We are made of star-stuff,’ Dantonio said. “That man was absolutely correct. Everything you’re made of, every atom in your body, every atom in the room around you, every single thing on this planet was once made at millions, and millions, and millions of degrees in the heart of a star. And what do they do? They explode when they’re done with their lives because they run out of their fuels. That stuff blows out from the star, and where does it go? It goes everywhere, it goes out in all directions. There are so many trillions, upon trillions, upon trillions of massive supernovae that have occurred, that the universe is littered with their debris, and their debris happens to be many of the elements on our periodic table.”
If we all come from the same source what are the implications, not just for humanity, but for the planet?
“In terms of the beings on this planet, every single creature on this planet, including the Earth itself and all the planets in our solar system, all the moons, are literally all connected because they were made from the very same solar nebula. We’re basically all family,” Dantonio said.
How does this physical, tangible connection across everything in our universe translate into our collective consciousness?
“Have you ever been in a room, you’re sitting down, and you think of someone you haven’t talked to in 10 years, and that instant they call you?” Dantonio asked. “Well, I talked about that at a conference, I mentioned that on stage, and the very first thing I said was, ‘How many of you has that happened to?’ Every single hand went up and, of course, everybody started laughing. Is that coincidence? Science tends to tell you that that’s what it is, but I don’t think it is. I think it’s something known as quantum entanglement but at a higher level. I call it the ‘brainular’ level.”
“Well, our brains were manufactured from all the elements created by the solar nebula here in this region of the universe, and perhaps, there is a link to life in general when formed in the same place in the same way. We might look different, we might be different — very different — but we might also have this link, a very primitive evolutionary link that goes all the way back to the beginning. I wouldn’t be arrogant enough, I would never be arrogant about it and say that can’t possibly happen. You can’t say that something you can’t research yet, can’t possibly happen. You just have to say, ‘It’s an interesting idea, and maybe it’s true, we just need more research,’” he said.
What should people consider when we think about the fact that all beings on earth and even our solar system are made of star-stuff?
“It means that we’re all one species that’s based on the same chemistry,” Dantonio said. “At the very least, it means that we should all be together in a variety of ways; we should all have a meeting of the minds, so to speak. Those minds, by the way, were born of this tumultuous universal beginning in the heart of a star. So, I think that moving forward, what we need to do is consider that everything that we are comes from everything that we’ve been, and comes from everything that we were made from.”
During divisive times it is important to remember we all came from the same place and we’re more alike than different.
Did You Psychically Inherit Society's Learned Behavior?
The scientific community is often very rigid in its process and not always open to radical ideas. Rightfully so, that is the nature of science – strict scrutiny and skepticism. But what if it is limiting itself in this approach, in the sense that it has taken on some of the same parochial propensities of religion? Science is supposedly the antithesis of religion and meant to question everything with the goal of new discovery. While it is necessary to maintain skepticism to prevent charlatans from diluting the scientific process, there should be a certain level of tolerance for new ideas.
Rupert Sheldrake is one of those scientists that his community has largely shunned as a heretic. Despite studying at Harvard and graduating from Cambridge with a Ph.D. in biochemistry, the scientific community has dismissed his radical ideas as nonsensical and blasphemous. Sheldrake admittedly started his career in science as an atheist, but eventually had an epiphany about our consciousness that changed his outlook.
Sheldrake has proposed an idea he calls, morphic resonance. Essentially, the idea is that there is a collective consciousness within species that can impact disparate groups of organisms without them having to come into contact with each other. A sort of telepathic connectedness that can influence behavior and can be passed down through immediate generations.
Lamarckian Inheritance
The idea of learned behavior being inherited, or Lamarckian Inheritance, has been shown to be a pretty promising theory, if not proven. Although unsurprisingly, the scientific community doesn’t all agree on this. Regardless, this idea is fundamental in Sheldrake’s theory.
The evidence comes from a study in the 1920s, where rats were tested by being placed in a water maze they had to escape from. The rats were electrically shocked when they chose one of two exits deemed to be the wrong exit. They eventually learned which exit was the correct one over a trial of several hundred tests. As they got better, their offspring were tested, and immediately showed quicker rates of improvement compared to their parents.
This was evidence of Lamarckian Inheritance, the learned behavior of the parent rat was passed on to their progeny. What was more astonishing, according to Sheldrake, was that when these experiments were conducted in labs in other countries and on the other side of the world, rats that had no contact with the original study, essentially picked up where the improved rats left off.
