Bell's
Inequality Theorem
Irish physicist John Stewart Bell put forward a
quantum theorem that has revolutionised the way reality is
considered. In brief, the theorem states that when two
sub-microscopic particles are split and moved to a distance from
each other, the action on, or of, particle 'A', is instantaneously
reproduced with particle 'B'. This interaction does not rely on
any known link or communication and is considered to stand above
normal physical laws of nature, as it is faster than light. Prior
to such findings it was thought nothing could transcend the speed
of light.
Nick Herbert, in an interview published in High
Frontiers writes: 'THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS that are being kept
from the public as far as the subjects of physics and
consciousness are concerned. Bell's Theorem was proved in 1964,
and it is still not taught in physics classes, and you don't hear
it on your science news programs. A theorem is a proof, and no one
has found a flaw in this theorem. It's such a simple proof that a
high school kid can understand it. So physicists can understand
it. They have various ways of trying to ignore it, but it can't be
refuted because it's so simple.'
To quote Gary Zhukov, 'Quantum mechanics is the
theory. It has explained everything from subatomic particles to
transistors to stellar energy. It has never failed. It has no
competition.'
The implications of the theorem are enormous.
Something can be in two places at once. Apparently distant
objects, or people, are intricately linked in an immediate way.
There is no separate existence as we previously thought. Our view
of the world is not one supported by the facts of physics. Time
and space are transcended. David Bohm, an eminent physicist, goes
as far as to say that all things in our observable universe are
inextricable linked. Nothing has separate existence.

The identity, and the way of life connected with
the identity, appear to be quite vulnerable, and when threatened,
bring about as much reaction from the members of a tribe or
nation, as one sees when something like an invading bacteria
threatens the integrity of the body. In both cases there is
massive defence and counter-attack, especially where the apparent
attacker has different religious or cultural beliefs. In the body
the bacteria or virus are attacked and where possible destroyed.
In early communities this was exactly the way the tribe or nation
defended against invasion by a foreign culture.(From
The New Dream Dictionary)
Organisms are any collection of cells which
together form an independent life form. Such living organisms have
many different ways of maintaining their existence and the
cohesiveness of their often countless community of cells. One of
the main features of an organism is that it is in some measure
distinct from its environment and even from other similar
organisms. In fact it is difficult to think of anything that we
feel might have life, that is not in some way separate from its
surroundings and other life forms. Even viruses are called
organisms.
Organisms have other features such as some means of
feeding themselves, reproducing and protection. In our own
organism, our body, we are used to hearing the term immune
system and its vital role in surviving. Our own organism is
not only capable of feeding and reproducing, along with other
functions of life such as breathing, excreting and responding, but
it has an amazing defence system too. Millions of bacteria are
killed daily by our defence systems. The reason being that within
the strange and wonderful community of cells we call our body,
there is some form of basic identity which defends itself against
attack. Perhaps we could call this integrity instead of identity,
especially if we associate the word with integration.
From Eye of Dreams
Let us look at two very simple things many of us
have experienced. Most of us have eaten something which our body
has tried to reject. Our being has its own integrity which it
tries to protect. Integrity is like the word integrate, to bring
into unity, or hold united. Our being has to have this integrity
or integration or else it could not survive. Cells would go on
growing as they do in cancer where this integrity has been
disturbed. So when something poisonous is eaten, the
self-regulatory process guarding this integrity tries to get rid
of the poison. A powerful spontaneous movement occurs leading us
to vomit. This can be a painful thing and we may thus try to block
the movement. Here, the movement arising from the self-regulatory
action is blocked because our conscious self dislikes the
discomfort or indignity of vomiting. Or else we may co-operate and
even drink plenty of water to flush the stomach as we vomit. From
