Since February 2008, my friend Justis Chase CTNLP and I have been exploring the nature of consciousness and reality. I have created a "Mind Map" showing the results of our discussions. The Mind Map can be expanded by clicking on the "+" buttons beside each topic. This link is to a very short succinct description of the observer effect. The PDF from the download link demonstrates a theory of consciousness. To view, you will need Acrobat reader, download link http://adobe-reader-co.com/?lang=en&country=ca and Flash player, download link  http://flash-player-co.com/?lang=en&country=ca on your computer.

Kelly Neill has created a UTube description of various important topics relating to consciousness and reality. He has a site on which he has collected some very understandable topics in science especially quantum physics. This link is to a page dealing with the observer effect, a very important aspect for understanding reality http://theobservereffect.wordpress.com/ This linkage will take you to a short video  http://ca.youtube.com/kellyneill in which he has borrowed snippets of several videos including my favorite "What The Bleep do We Know?" If you haven't seen this movie, I heartily recommend it. It is available on DVD. Books by Greg Braden also deal with some aspects of reality in a most readable and entertaining manner. My favorite is "The Spontaneous Healing of Belief" which begins to address some key topics in the understanding of reality. However, my personal favorite expert in the field of consciousness, spirituality, quantum physics is Fred Alan Wolf Ph.D. who writes under the pseudonym of "Dr. Quantum" Dr. Wolf has produced three audio programs dealing with a wide range of related topics. A most exciting program is "Dr. Quantum's Do It Yourself Time Travel" Information regarding this amazing scientist can be found on his website. http://www.fredalanwolf.com/
