Quantum Uncertainty and Astral Potential

Reading a book by one Sylvan Muldoon called Projection of the Astral Body, it's clear that this person has considerable experience in the act of astral projection. He spent months in a bed-bound state of unwellness ensuring that his knowledge was preserved; people in this kind of situation are not prone to fabrications. Published in 1929, it is nevertheless still in print and available should you wish to read it. The language is quaintly antiquated but the many references to what would nowadays be easily construed as quantum-mechanical operations are startling. 

In that same year Peter Higgs was born along with Murray Gell-Mann, founders of the Higgs Boson and Quarks respectively. In their infancy, of course, no knowledge of bosons or 'virtual particles' such as gluons was present - this is what the Periodic Table looked like back then. The founding fathers (Max Planck, Neils Bohr, Rutherford et al) were just beginning to explore the hidden depths of photons and in 1925 were publishing ground-breaking studies on quanta. Hot on the heels of 'atomic theory', they were postulating incredible truths and in some cases laying themselves open to peer persecution (said to have contributed to Ludwig Boltzmann's suicide in 1906, his theories forerunning much of what was now becoming acceptable). Wolfgang Pauli, subject to mental fragilities himself, sought assistance from Carl Jung and together they opened the gates for scientific exploration of Synchronicity, publishing The Interpretation of Nature and the Psyche in 1952 although the possibility (or otherwise) of experimental evidence prevented them from gaining much ground at the time.

Nevertheless, the ground they did cover has resonance in Muldoon's book. In Wikipedia's article on Synchronicity, we may read that,
All the events in a man's life would accordingly stand in two fundamentally different kinds of connection: firstly, in the objective, causal connection of the natural process; secondly, in a subjective connection which exists only in relation to the individual who experiences it, and which is thus as subjective as his own dreams.
— Arthur Schopenhauer, "Transcendent Speculation on the Apparent Deliberateness in the Fate of the Individual", Parerga and Paralipomena (1851), Volume 1, Chapter 4, trans. E. F. J. Payne

These mysteries of the universal state, then, have remained subject to scientific deliberation and uncertainty for some considerable length of time.

Muldoon describes a deeper level of consciousness which he terms "superconsciousness', accessed by the astral at all times but only manifesting through our conscious Will at times of great stress, when mothers can lift cars to free trapped children. Described by Wiki writers as 'hysterical strength', their paper linked here lists many examples. Ascribing immense power to this version of deeply hidden Will, Muldoon alludes to the phenomenon we now commonly describe as the 'law of attraction', another area of potential which most of the human race appears to leave untapped.

He also wonders at the extreme capabilities of the astral body in mechanics, form and motion, all of which we may now ascribe to quantum principles. As the uncertainty of our world increases in threat and predilection for self-destructive tendencies, a review of these inherent capacities potentially within us all is, in this author's opinion, somewhat overdue.

Readers may note that it's over a year since my last contribution here. I can only put this down to pressures of life, demotivating circumstances and troublesome times which, if I may be so bold as to trust linkage to the abundance of the Universe, is moving out of phase to make room for more productive days. Should you find yourself similarly swamped, you have my condolences and I wish you every resounding success in the era of advancements yet to come.
