I'd like him and other psychics to do so with their 'remote' abilities, and just maybe finalise the arguments about this through what would be a very worthwile demonstration.

I began wondering about this after having heard Sheldrake speak
of a star such as our sun having as much electromagnetic activity as
our brains posess. The argument against Sheldrake's proposal, as
Stephen J. Gould said was that he could see no reason why a star
would need to have evolved a consciousness. Yet, the idea intrigued
me and still does. I am not a scientist by any stretch of the
imagination but I am not close minded to scientific study, nor am I
ignorant of the fact that at any given point we may ourselves reside
at differing levels of consciousness, as I have demonstrated to my
own satisfaction through meditation (and yes, many years ago,
experimentation with psychoactive chemicals.) I wondered too at one
point if the universe were indeed alive and because it is so complex
has qualities of an "ultimate" consciousness which some might
interpret as God.
I hope someone will comment on the possibility that through
some medium a universal consciousness could exist. If so, what do
you think is the connective mechanism and how does it affect us in
our everyday lives? Could Carl Jung have stumbled across it when he
described synchronicity as an acausal connecting principal? Did
Sheldrake come even closer to the truth when he wrote of
morphogenetic fields and morphic resonance?
Thank you for your attention and consideration.

1. If we use a light source in a double-slit experiment the output is an interference pattern.

2. Now instead of light source is a photon-gun is used which releases one photon at a time and we see the final output the final distribution "some how" produces pictures simliar to inteference pattern.

3. But now in the step-2 if an "intelligent observer" is introduced, the interference pattern does not occur and we just see the output as output seen with a normal gunshot shot from a gun.

Question: q1. what is the definition of "intelligent observer"?

q2. is cat/dog also considered "intelligent"?

q3.Is a 1 year old kid considered "intelligent"?

q4. In these experiment is the whole setup inside somekind of a closed box?

q5. what happens if a movie-camera is placed as an observer? is this considered an "intelligent observer" and what is the output?

I am a RN here in the Philippines and i want to pursue my career in California. Aside from NCLEX, TOEFL is one of the major requirements in California for me to be a RN there. I just want to know if it is hard to pass the test? Do I have to attend a review class for that or could i just do a self-review?
