App IV: « The goat of Mr Seguin »

 







The pic on the precedent post of the moon between the clouds, the moon is a white spot, the mark of innocence that every living creature is granted with at birth, Together with all qualities like hope, love, patience, curiosity, joy…

Well, this white spot is in trouble second after second everywhere and it is time everyone gives a push in the right way …

50 millions - at least, are living - And dying, today in ‘modern slavery’ and NK comes in the third place behind India & China just before Russia … (link)


Now, the question is,

the only one question,

the big question:

How long will humanity throw its own week part to the wolves ?

How long will we allow this desecration of ourselves to take place ?

How long will people allow themselves to see others as dependent, useful, material ?

How long will humanity tolerate its parasites that suck its blood, its innocence, its shine ?

How long our most precious souls, children, women, citizen will be used as wolves' food,

like Mr. Seguin's white goat ?



Deuteronomy Chapter 25

17

"Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;

18

how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were enfeebled in thy rear, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

19

Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget."

App III: God doesn’t change His spots

 


If you eat a piece of chocolate once, it is a pleasure. Twice still is. But after fifty pieces, that becomes a pain.

Why did God favor the offer of Abel over that of Cain ?

Because we must not consider our life as our own property, because we must remember that we did not create ourselves, neither the paradise that is the earth which we share with an infinity of marvelous creatures with whom we can share understanding and sentiments, creativity and love. 

We have not the power to decide for God, point. And God decided before all that the life He provides us with is sacred. Life is untouchable for us because above all other living creatures, we have a consciousness, because we are able to choose between good and bad, because we can view ourselves as masters of life, our own and others, what we shouldn’t ever think about.

We are wanderers, like Abel, not owners. Abraham, Ytzhak and Yaakov were shepherds. Essav was a hunter, and Cain a plowman …

We are made for diversity, not habits as great as an habit can be. Do not become slaves, as the Hebrews became at the time of the new Pharaoh who did not knew Joseph. Do not make a slave of yourself. 

Because slavery begins inside.

When God saved the Hebrews from slavery, internal as well as external, He saved humanity also, at least potentially. You are able to not recognize this, but you cannot say that it doesn’t make sense. In one of my last posts that I called « Proud », I did not expand althought I wanted to ! 

What I wanted to say was that there was still hope, above all the mayhem that occurs and had occured until today. Mankind is on a path of diversifying and this comes with two prices, unity and segregation. We are seing this because, whatever, when you work daily with a Philippino, a Syrian, a Turk, an Indian, an Arab, as I do, you consider him or her as a human being first.

The goal of the PTB’s is clear to everyone, it is not only and not primarily as may seem to oppress but to divide because you cannot oppress people who are united. They aim at permanent civil wars. How many civils wars did Rome have ! Look at Wikipedia ! And what took Rome down ? An outsider force that profited from the divide and the corruption. Today, the outsider force is an insider one because the world has become one despite the boundaries. We cannot expect to be freed from the neo-roman emperors. 

However, a people is not just its geo-political image, neither a country is its touristic one. People live daily together and most of them, of us know very well who the culpable is, governments as well as international entities beginning by the financial ones. There are many untold thoughts that despite not being proffered loudly are binding people together because the ennemi is the same for all.

There is a genuine desire for peace, for truth, for nature, and if it cannot bring a revolution, it unequivocally creates an evolution. So, the PTB’s plot to overwhelm the West with migrants to create dissent, segregation and war may not succeed because as I said, if a revolution is not near, more slavery, ‘ Covid style/WEF’ will not be accepted passed a certain point.

The civil war desire of the powerful must be brought down by understanding and hope in human nature over collective fabulations. The PTB’s wishes can be overcome down to up and not the contrary, the building blocs being individual living people that are not originally inclined to darkness, look at a kid.

Will the fight with our own instincts go on forever ? Ask women maybe …

One thing is certain, God did not renounce his plans and behind what we see, a hidden reality is doing its way tirelessly and irremediably through life which is its front.

There are many dark spots on earth from Gaza to Ukraine (1 million dead), from North Korea to Haiti where life is threatened daily and these spots are the tip of the iceberg because all humanity lives under the power of arms and laws enforced by a minority. Orwell & Huxley are the present. You can fool all the people all the time, it seems. We are all under control, both un-voluntarily and voluntarily.

But, let’s look at what is happening here, in Israel. In 1986 when I first came, Israel was a big village of around 3.5 millions consisting of maybe 2 of Ashkenazim and 1.5 of Sephardim. You now add 2m of Russian origin, one from Ethiopia and another from elsewhere. All of them having their own closed communities. But all of them answer, when they’re asked: « How do you do ? » they answer « Baruch Hachem » (Thanks God/God be blessed), yes, most of us indeed ... 

Against the will of the PTB’s, is this the rebirth of the Hebrew people ?

Ha ! Wasn't my first blog named: "Ierushalaim Frontline" ???

But, well, this is all a dream because this is reality (not the worst but quite heavy yet):


Slaves we have been, slaves we are, slaves we will be.
Is it written in the DNA ?

And here are 2 examples of fascism in Israel, merging of state and corporations in order to decide for ‘the people what it should believe in, what it should do, how it should behave …

For the brinks pic, it is written on the sticker on the side « Together we will win » (Gaza’s war) and for the donut, religion is giving its blessing for the feast of ‘Chanuka’ with all the religious sects uniting in supporting the war
(the donut is wearing a military green beret that reads Tsahal, the israeli military).



The name below, Yochananof, is that of a big supermarket chain sponsoring the army with the forwarding of gifts of donuts to soldiers.

Self-Restraint is 9/10of Worship

by Henry Makow, Ph.D.

(Revised from Sept 15, 2013 & Oct 6, 2018)

 

"Have you noticed that nine of the Ten Commandments are proscriptions?

They tell us what we shalt NOT do.

Surely this is an important clue. We worship God by disciplining and controlling our lower nature

The only affirmative Commandment is to "honor your father and mother."  

The other nine are concerned with obeying, i.e. Self-discipline:

You shall have no other Gods; not make idols; not take His name in vain; not work on the Sabbath; not commit murder; not commit adultery; not steal; not bear false witness (lie) and finally, not covet your neighbor's wife or possessions."

App II: The book of Ruth & the NWO, Joseph Ehrlich (2003)


Hi again,

Joseph’s texts about Torah are as unique as invaluable !
I possess around 200 pages that I printed in 2005/6 from the original site of which you can find examples below and that you won’t find anywhere else.

If someone is interested, contact me at:

NB: I would like to find someone who would put back on line all of it and all what is available elsewhere




This is a study about some wrongs of Torah’s characters and their consequences


This is an insight about the value of prayer



This is the first page of a study about how the ten commandments are relevant nowadays


This was the SenderBerl home page


 


Original text from the then SenderBerl site:

Appendice I, Joseph Ehrlich

 


I cannot leave the internet without a tribute to Joseph Ehrlich whom, in 2002 had a site called 'SenderBerl & Sons'. Maybe some do remember. It was mainly geopolitical but among all, there was a few texts dedicated to stories found in the Torah like the one of Ruth, the intruder. Another one taken from the Talmud was that of the "Oven of Akhnaï" where the definite ruling of the 'Jewish church' was defined: "God is not in the sky". 

That those two stories can bring light to contemporary events was the intent of Joseph's work. The few small books he wrote later were the development of those stories with the intent of saying that, what happened before happens today, under the eye of God.

Then, not a year after his death, all he had published disappeared. He was wise to write some books !

Here is a text he wrote about Diana's death

And another of geopolitics.





Another inspiration had been that of Dr. Sheedy who asks: " Is God the 'Life-Drive ?"
Henry Makow has always been interesting too even if he considers Jews as Jews while they are nothing close to the fact ! Let's say it again, Jews is an empty bag. 

Only the people living in Israel, believing in God and being of Sephardi descent (with some percentage of other originated people, Yemenites for the most part, Ashkenazim for a very few ...) can be called Hebrew, Ivri, from the Hebrew word 'Ever', the other side. The Hebrews are the people from the 'other side', from Egypt and Mesopotamia at the times of Moses and Avram, Abraham, as a people and as a family. They then got the surname of Israel, 'meaning 'Who has fought with God'.

"Yes God or yes man" ! The 400th post:) + vid NK hid cam

 




Hello everybbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbody !

I tell you: "stop loving to hate, do not be happy to give a kick to anyone, don't take pride in inflicting pain to someone else, yes, there is no other way."

This is the last post of this blog, ten years after the first one, fifteen since I began blogging and around fifty since I first thought: "I am a world citizen, I do not recognize borders, laws and identities." To which I could add: "my identity is that of a life being, life has given me all who I am, and a consciousness in which I trust. I do not need any guidance, any religion, any law because I have my own, that I have acquired by birth, that is a present of life. "

Look, life is sustainable, humanity is not. Life will prevail and humanity keeps destroying itself, say, humanity is not sustainable unless man becomes better than who he is, who he has been everywhere all the time. 

So I said, this post is the last and it will take some time to complete. I have been happy to share my thoughts with you all, many of them quite unique around ! One of them being that God, besides being the God of the universe, the God of life is the God of Avram the (As-)Syrian, could it be said, from Haran. 

What is the biggest problem of all, the root cause of the inability of mankind to progress ? I think that the reason lies in that children do all the mistakes their parents do most of the case, at least, enough to froze in the egg the ability to evolve the right way. Crime is up, war is up, violence is up because in private, we like it. It is not an organic problem but a cultural one, and why is it ? Because the value of family interest is low, primitive to say the least.

But what God wanted to do with Avram ? What did He tell him ? What did He ask him to do ?

God wanted to create the seed of a family with a moral and spiritual compass, a family who would become a people that would be an example for humanity to build upon. At its guise must it be said, freely, everyone according to its uses and instincts as long as it would respect life and the God of life. That was the plan and the people, just like Avram himself, was to be ousted from the midst of idolatry and infamy that were the common place ... and still are. 

Why none rise up against the 9-11 real perpetrators and what is more, more clear than crystal water, why no one is rising against the 10-7 ? The answer is: because the president of the United States has a son like the one he has. Is it not clear enough ?

Yes, Avram became Abraham and waited 99 years to have a son from his wife. And yes, his wife chased his first son out of the family home. The goal was a family that knows, that understand and love the God Who has not only given a moral and a spiritual order but the God that had given to man what he wants, what he desires, what he needs: a spiritual compass. Because man is not only flesh as some say since.

The root is education and the transfer of values, of beliefs, of examples to follow, of patterns to replicate in order to be a man and to like it, to love who we are and the life that comes together, our own and others, and particularly the newborns and the elders. Because the first has all to learn and the second can teach a lot, if there is someone to listen.

There is not one animal that does not rises young well and loves its family, when there is one. We are failing to love and raise our children and this is the trouble, the grain of sand in humanity's evolution. Hate, arrogance, egoism, haughtiness, negligence, disrespect, selfishness are the habits that are transmitted with their legions of violence, of crime to which the usual preys are the weak who should be on top, the youth, the women, the elderly instead of the values of life.


We need not bringing the Skulls and bones, the WEF, the Rothschild, the Illuminati or any conspiracy theory to trace the origin of the defeat of humanity in face of its suffering and the killing of his own, the Moloch attitude comes from inside everyone to be able to be tolerated in common. Covid, Ukraine, Gaza, all the mayhems that has been and the ones to come would never have been a possibility to begin with if, individually and globally, man was following the compass of life, of all the moral values he does not ignore, man is not guilty of not knowing because the compass is imbedded with life. Every life being has a knowledge of what is good and bad.


However, God's plan didn't succeed because of two reasons, the Golden Calf and the will of having a king. 

What is the greatest desire of man ? Being free.

And, since free, among other meanings, means being free from oppression, that is, deciding for oneself what will be one's life about, then, being independent is to be powerful enough for not having to bow to the other's pressure. The root of the quest for power lies in the natural feature that freedom is the value above all. Just ask a wild animal ! We're not different about that.

However, there is a difference between animals and us. Animals view their freedom as an individual matter, not a societal one. They live together in good harmony as long as their vital territory is not threatened. We on the contrary will see liberty as a societal goal. Man will want to have the greatest power he can grab because the aim of life, that is life itself as animals show us is turned into global dominance. 
So that he will see himself as the freest, that is, the most powerful. The rules of life have been changed, perverted. War is the aim, no more the way. Violence, treachery, killing, all means are legal in the quest for power. The means have become the end.




The Golden Calf event's significance is that man is not ready to accept an outsider as his master. God is an outsider, an unknown entity with which you cannot deal. Man would accept for master only one of his own, or a manmade representation of the power to be, an illusion that he will be able to rule upon at his will, a masquerade that will let him free of accountability to anything and anyone.

That lead us to why the Hebrews did want a king.

1793, the fourth year of the French revolution has been called 'The Terror', and that not long after it. Peoples like Carrier, infamous for its drownings of 'Aristocrats', priests, nuns and anyone deemed suspect did more than their best to apply the then general rule of 'le niveau', the level, and the lowest one. 
People want a king to be able to see no other greater than them under a tyrannical rule of an omnipotent despot that tells you what to do, how to live. What applies to me applies to others, in front of the Guillotine, we are equal. Robespierre got through it after having sent thousands. The desire for a king is the desire for a level, a societal guillotine. No animal has ever dreamed such a barbarity.

And yes, if you are weak, bye bye ! This is Amalek, about what much is said around. Amalek is the power that reaches the weak. Globally, the weak has always been Children, Women, Blacks, Indians, Arabs, Indians, people who are left behind, who cannot deal with going 'up' the societal hill, who indulge themselves with being who they are, willingly or not, and not seeing as their ideal the conquest of social highnesses.

Unfortunately, the Weak mostly represents life itself. Children and women are definitely the most oppressed part of mankind, and that, both by the powerful and the weak, and also which is remarkable between themselves. Kids are fighting, women are competing the most. Why is that aberration ? Because of all the values of man, the one that is absent and that should be on top is family values. 

The goal is ending the reign of force and there is no other tool than to restore shared family values.

Another reason why they wanted a king was that all the people around had one. The Hebrews didn't want to be different than others, to singularize themselves, no more than they wanted to venerate an outsider, God. They didn't side with anarchists, 'no God, no master' but on the contrary, they wanted an idol and a king, as we still do ... illusions and governments.




That is what God wanted for His people, that is what no one wants to understand because family values destroy the illusion of societal power, of individual greatness, as the aim. You can become a great individual only through family values because before becoming what we want, we are who we are, natural beings with an unlimited power of understanding ourselves and the other, thanks to family life.

home

Where the milk and honey flows


Effectively, this is a no brainer to say that the people who succeed, except a very few, are the ones that have had a decent family life, from top to bottom. 

I believe that, until now, the 19° century has been the apogee of civilization, particularly in south Europe and in France. Since then, the powerful have become more and more so thanks to technology with no end in sight. The cure for this unending illness is family values, and yeah, no one likes it folks but family values is what the Torah is about, nothing else, stories of families, from Genesis to the books of Samuel. And the record goes on.

Teach your children a little prayer before going to bed ...
God bless !!!

Yes God or yes  man !

Quantum Theory and the Role of Mind in Nature

 


*

Quantum Theory and the Role of Mind in Nature 

Henry P. Stapp

 (two extracts)


Abstract

Orthodox Copenhagen quantum theory renounces the quest to understand the reality in which we are imbedded, and settles for practical rules that describe connections between our observations.

Many physicists have believed that this renunciation of the attempt describe nature herself was premature, and John von Neumann, in a major work, reformulated quantum theory as a theory of the evolving objective universe. In the course of his work he converted to a benefit what had appeared to be a severe deficiency of the Copenhagen interpretation, namely its introduction into physical theory of the human observers.

He used this subjective element of quantum theory to achieve a significant advance on the main problem in philosophy, which is to understand the relationship between mind and matter. That problem had been tied closely to physical theory by the works of Newton and Descartes. The present work examines the major problems that have appeared to block the development of von Neumann’s theory into a fully satisfactory theory of Nature, and proposes solutions to these problems.

 

The Nonlocality Controversy

“Nonlocality gets more real”. This is the provocative title of a recent report in Physics Today. Three experiments are cited. All three confirm to high accuracy the predictions of quantum theory in experiments that suggest the occurrence of an instantaneous action over a large distance. The most spectacular of the three experiments begins with the production of pairs of photons in a lab in downtown Geneva. For some of these pairs, one member is sent by optical fiber to the village of Bellevue, while the other is sent to the town of Bernex. The two towns lie more than 10 kilometers apart. Experiments on the arriving photons are performed in both villages at essentially the same time.

What is found is this: The observed connections between the outcomes of these experiments defy explanation in terms of ordinary ideas about the nature of the physical world on the scale of directly observable objects. This conclusion is announced in opening sentence of the

Physical-Review-Letters report that describes the experiment: “Quantum theory is nonlocal”. This observed effect is not just an academic matter. A possible application of interest to the Swiss is this: The effect can be used in principle to transfer banking records over large distances in a secure way.

But of far greater importance to physicists is its relevance to two fundamental questions: What is the nature of physical reality ? What is the form of basic physical theory ?

The answers to these questions depend crucially on the nature of physical causation. Isaac Newton erected his theory of gravity on the idea of instant action at a distance. According to Newton’s theory, if a person were to suddenly kick a stone, and send it flying off in some direction, every particle in the entire universe would immediately begin to feel the effect of that kick.

Thus, in Newton’s theory, every part of the universe is instantly linked, causally, to every other part. To even think about such an instantaneous action one needs the idea of the instant of time “now”, and a sequence of such instants each extending over the entire universe.

This idea that what a person does in one place could act instantly affect physical reality in a faraway place is a mind-boggling notion, and it was banished from classical physics by Einstein’s theory of relativity.

But the idea resurfaced at the quantum level in the debate between Einstein and Bohr. Einstein objected to the “mysterious action at a distance”, which quantum theory seemed to entail, but Bohr defended “the necessity of a final renunciation of the classical ideal of causality and a radical revision of our attitude towards the problem of physical reality”.

The essence of this radical revision was explained by Dirac at the 1927 Solvay conference. He insisted on the restriction of the application of quantum theory to our knowledge of a system, rather than to the system itself. Thus physical theory became converted from a theory about ‘physically reality’, as it had formerly been understood, into a theory about human knowledge.

This view is encapsulated in Heisenberg’s famous statement: “The conception of the objective reality of the elementary particles has thus evaporated not into the cloud of some obscure new reality concept, but into the transparent clarity of a mathematics that represents no longer the behaviour of the particle but rather our knowledge of this behaviour.”

This conception of quantum theory, espoused by Bohr, Dirac, and Heisenberg, is called the Copenhagen interpretation. It is essentially subjective and epistemological, because the basic reality of the theory is ‘our knowledge’.

This way of dodging the action-at-a-distance problem was challenged by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in a famous paper entitled: “Can quantum mechanical description of physical reality be considered complete?” The issue was whether a theory that is specified to be merely a set of rules about connections between human experiences can be considered to be a complete description of physical reality. Einstein and his colleagues gave a reasonable definition of “physical reality”, and then argued, directly from some basic precepts of quantum theory itself, that the answer to this question is ‘No’.

Bohr disagreed.

Given the enormity of what must exist in the universe as a whole, and the relative smallness human knowledge, it is astonishing that, in the minds of most physicists, Bohr prevailed over Einstein in this debate: the majority of quantum physicists acquiesced to Bohr’s claim that quantum theory, regarded as a theory about human knowledge, is a complete description of physical reality. This majority opinion stems, I believe, more from the lack of a promising alternative candidate than from any decisive logical argument. Einstein, commenting on the orthodox Copenhagen position, said: “What I dislike about this kind of argument is the basic positivistic attitude, which from my view is untenable, and seems to me to come to the same thing as Berkeley’s principle, ‘esse est percipi’, “to be is to be perceived”. Several other scientists also reject the majority opinion. For example, Murray Gell-Mann asserts: “Niels Bohr brainwashed a whole generation into believing that the problem was solved fifty years ago”.

Gell-mann believes that in order to integrate quantum theory coherently into cosmology, and to understand the evolutionary process that has produced creatures that can have knowledge, one needs to have a coherent theory of the evolving quantum mechanical reality in which these creatures are imbedded. It is in the context of such efforts to construct a more complete theory that the significance of the experiments pertaining to quantum nonlocality lies.

The point is this: If nature really is nonlocal, as these experiments suggest, then the way is open to the development of a rationally coherent theory of nature that integrates the subjective knowings introduced by Copenhagen quantum theory into an objectively existing and evolving physical reality.

(…)

 

 

The Passive and Active Roles of Mind

The founders of quantum theory recognized that the mathematical structure of quantum theory is naturally suited for, and seems to require, bringing into the dynamical equations two separate aspects of the interaction between the physical universe and the minds of the experimenter/observers.

The first of these two aspects is the role of the experimenter in choosing what to attend to; which aspect of nature he wants to probe; which question he wants to ask about the physical world. This is the active role of mind.

The second aspect is the recognition, or coming to know, the answer that nature returns.

This is the passive role of mind.

 

The Active Physical Counterpart to the Passive Mental Event

I have mentioned the Schrödinger evolution of the state S(t) of the universe. The second part of the orthodox quantum dynamics consists of an event that discards from the ensemble of quasi-classical elements mentioned above those elements that are incompatible with the answer that nature returns. This reduction of the prior ensemble of elements, which constitute the quantum mechanical representation of the brain, to the sub ensemble compatible with the “outcome of the query” is analogous to what happens in classical statistical mechanics when new information about the physical system is obtained.

However, in the quantum case one must in principle regard the entire ensemble of classically described brains as real, because interference between the different elements are in principle possible.

Each quantum event consists, then of a pair of events, one physical, the other mental. The physical event reduces the initial ensemble that constitutes the brain prior to the event to the sub ensemble consisting of those branches that are compatible with the informational content of the associated mental event.

This dynamical connection means that, during an interval of conscious thinking, the brain changes by an alternation between two processes.

The first is the generation, by a local deterministic mechanical rule, of an expanding profusion of alternative possible branches, with each branch corresponding to an entire classically describable brain embodying some specific possible course of action. The quantum brain is the entire ensemble of these separate, but equally real, quasi-classical branches.

The second process involves an event that has both physical and mental aspects. The physical aspect, or event, chops off all branches that are incompatible with the associated mental aspect, or event. For example, if the mental event is the experiencing of some feature of the physical world, then the associated physical event would be the updating of the brain’s representation of that aspect of the physical world. This updating of the (quantum) brain is achieved by discarding from the ensemble of quasi-classical brain states all those branches in which the brain’s representation of the physical world is incompatible with the information content of the mental event.

This connection is similar to a functionalist account of consciousness. But here it is expressed in terms of a dynamical interaction that is demanded by the requirement that the objective formulation of the theory yield the same predictions about connections between our conscious experiences that the empirically validated Copenhagen quantum theory gives. The interaction is the exact expression of the basic dynamical rule of quantum theory, which is the stipulation that each increment in knowledge is associated with a reduction of the quantum state to one that is compatible with the new knowledge.

The quantum brain is an ensemble of quasi-classical components. As just noted, this structure is similar to something that occurs in classical statistical mechanics, namely a “classical statistical ensemble.” But a classical statistical ensemble, though structurally similar to a quantum brain, is fundamentally a different kind of thing. It is a representation of a set of truly distinct possibilities, only one of which is real.

A classical statistical ensemble is used when a person does not know which of the conceivable possibilities is real, but can assign a ‘probability’ to each possibility. In contrast, all of the elements of the ensemble that constitute a quantum brain are equally real: no choice has yet been made among them, Consequently, and this is the key point, entire ensemble acts as a whole in the determination of the upcoming mind-brain event.

Each thought is associated with the actualization of some macroscopic quasi-stable features of the brain. Thus the reduction event is a macroscopic happening. Moreover, this event involves, dynamically, the entire ensemble of quasi-classical brain states. In the corresponding classical model each element of the ensemble evolves independently, in accordance with a micro local law of motion that involves just that one branch alone. Thus there are basic dynamical differences between the quantum and classical models, and the consequences of these dynamical differences need to be studied in order to exhibit the quantum effects.

The only freedom in the theory—insofar as we leave Nature’s choices alone—is the choice made by the individual about which question it will ask next, and when it will ask it. These are the only inputs of mind to the dynamics of the brain. This severe restriction on the role of mind is what gives the theory its predictive power. Without this restriction mind could be free to do anything, and the theory would have no consequences.

Asking a question about something is closely connected to focussing one’s attention on it. Attending to something is the act of directing one’s mental power to some task. This task might be to update one’s representation of some feature of the surrounding world, or to plan or execute some other sort of mental or physical action.

The key question is then: Can this freedom merely to choose which question is asked, and when it is asked, lead to any statistical influence of mind on the behaviour of the brain, where a ‘statistical’ influence is an influence on values obtained by averaging over the properly weighted possibilities.

The answer is Yes  !

 

The Quantum Zeno Effect

There is an important and well-studied effect in quantum theory that depends on the timings of the reduction events arising from the queries put to nature. It is called the Quantum Zeno Effect. It is not diminished by interaction with the environment.

The effect is simple. If the same question is put to nature sufficiently rapidly and the initial answer is Yes, then any noise-induced diffusion, or force-induced motion, of the system away from the sub ensemble where the answer is ‘Yes’ will be suppressed: the system will tend to be confined to the sub ensemble where the answer is ‘Yes’. The effect is sometimes called the “watched pot” effect: according to the old adage “A watched pot never boils”; just looking at it keeps it from changing.

Also, a state can be pulled along in some direction by posing a rapid sequence of questions that change sufficiently slowly over time. In short, according to the dynamical laws of quantum mechanics, the freedom to choose which questions are put to nature, and when they are asked, allows mind to influence the behaviour of the brain.

A person is aware of almost none of the processing that is going on in his brain: unconscious brain action does almost everything. So it would be both unrealistic and theoretically unfeasible to give mind unbridled freedom: the questions posed by mind ought to be determined in large measure by brain.

What freedom is given to man ?

According to this theory, the freedom given to Nature is simply to provide a Yes or No answer to a question posed by a subsystem. It seems reasonable to restrict in a similar way, the choice given to a human mind.
