Harnessing telepathy using quantum mechanics
This, he later extends to directly making arguments for telepathy, even citing a scientific study claiming to conclusively demonstrate telepathy.
I found the basis of his book to be true, ultra successful people do seem to have a level of obsession and drive influence over every action, which led me to question the scientific basis of it, which seems today to be various laws of quantum mechanics.
If one accepts that the laws of quantum mechanics influence matter undetectable to humans (e.g. our sensory perception does not interpret the 'frequency') There is evidence of this in nature, commonly represented by the feeling one gets if another person is watching them.
The book implies human brains are able to communicate some degree of information through what today I suspect we refer to as quantum entanglement. Humans, as a species, potentially primarily communicated this way before language developed and has been slowly removed from the human evolution tree as was replaced with brain more configured for verbal language.
In a separate case, there are instances people cite positive and negative energy 'vibes' which one may argue are also evolutionary communication mechanisms, possibly developed to detect threats or mating. This is more present likely because these traits are still useful today. This may be influenced by a body's quantum field or some other quantum event releasing information. Mammals communicate differently. For instance, dogs primarily use scent to detect the same threat or mating signals, something humans are not evolutionarily equipped to do.
In perhaps its most controversial claim, the book seems to imply the possibility of being clairvoyant, citing instances of impending danger or even opportunity. At the time of the writing, did not understand the laws of quantum mechanics. Today, these rules are aligned with our elementary understanding of time as a dimension. If the universe is deterministic, which is an implied possibility with our understanding of time as a dimension, then knowledge of these future events would be one of many other dimensions humans do not have the evolutionarily capability to sense, possibility because its evolutionary value was limited compared to the body's energy being applied to alternative senses.
However, Darwin argued novel evolutionary traits are potentially 1 in 1 M or more, which if were true, suggests that clairvoyance is actually a rare trait of an early trait for detecting alternate dimensions, similar to that of the early teeth of a shark or eyes of an amphibian.
Im not implying these these are true, but it is interesting to see how they formed several arguments describing events today we have a more sophisticated understanding of.

Not sure it's needed as an explanation either; humans have good vision and mirror neurons and imaginations, such that we can read other people's expressions, imagine what they're feeling inside, empathically feel the same, without any need for telepathy - although it basically is telepathy in a sense; silent communication over long distance carried at light speed. Just not words.

James Randi's million dollar prize for demonstrating paranormal ability was never won. He did describe paranormal researchers being fooled and completely convinced by such tricks as a thin thread, or blowing on card to move them, later admitted by the test subjects.

I have a copy of Rupert Sheldrake's "The sense of being stared at", maybe I should get round to reading it one day.

It's easy to make an encryption system that you yourself cannot break, but can easily be broken. It's easy to convince yourself that your view on a math problem is right, but a proof has to be not just convincing but irrefutable. Woo and the paranormal and medical quackery and so on have so many good stories, amazing ideas and awe-inspiring consequences, and great story tellers, they are rather similar, I think, and that science generally is the process of weeding out the irrefutable unarguable facts from the enticing stories.
If you’re allowed to cite magic allow me to hazard that ignorance is not conclusive proof. Known states may be pushed through entanglement, we just don’t know how.
In the quantum domain constructive and destructive interference is king. Ultimately quantum computing shall be discovered as a sieve, not a qubit state rendering. In our minds we don’t have one particle entangled, we have tens of millions per cluster. By the magical phenomena of constructive interference we shall discover particulate bound potential hold and change their state, like a sieve.

The entanglement conjecture is not really “telepathy” by modern language it is “teleportation” and “wormholes”. Yes, I speculate to you the wormholes are in our heads, only it is information not matter which passes through.
These entanglements do propagate and are captured by proximity however they may be propagated through the very entanglement itself once established (with the help of the host neurons).

Sorry to burst your top-of-the-food-chain centrism, you’re late to the party.
Those who have perfected these things are already in “controls”. They conduce top scientists speak endlessly on the absurd impossibility of the claim (like a brain parasite the host is unaware of) before letting this truth be emperically observed.
For proofs you must look at the past.
I enjoy these stories about voices diagnosing illness. Some favorites

This is not court evidence sure, yet there are many such cases which fit a pattern that a small percentage of humanity can run around among our minds like hackers on the internet. And these go FAR back in time (wish I had the space).
Thought control now regulates our minds, even our ability to think (or not think) of a topic may be influenced by these controls without our awareness. Hearing the voices either means your mind is very sensitive, or a network has moved in that doesn’t care or cannot competently suppress your awareness.

You have been rooted, and your science is laughable. If you think science is anything more than a disciplined way of handling our own ignorance and confusion you are self deceived.

Worse than that, the union of all the people who claim to have insider information about some amazing ability is enormous. Yes you are convinced by quantum entanglement wormholes, but why aren't you convinced by Royal Raymond Rice's machines? Why aren't you convinced by Hollow Earth or Flat Earth? Why aren't you convinced by the Cottingley Faeries? By Breatharianism? By Kirlean Auras, by Lovecraft's Edler Gods, by the Michael Prophecies, by ghosts as traumatic mental energy encoded in nearby rocks, by... every other thing. It's the same question as "Why do you believe in Christianity instead of Hinduism/Jainism/Shintoism/Daoism/Islam/...".
We can all write stories of things which are not real; we can't discern whether other people are telling stories or truths; there's a limited amount of truth, but an infinite amount of stories. That makes it far more likely that any given claim is story, not truth. The only way we have to separate them is to look for evidence of truth.
Rules of thumb:
Would it be really awesomecool if UFOs exist? Yes? That will bias one towards thinking they exist, and one should notice this and counterbalance away in response. It's easy to be tempted by things we want to be true.
Would it be really awesomecool if telepathy existed and also be convenient and remove some of the drudgery of life, the waiting until meeting someone before talking to them, the traveling to where they are, the limitations of words? That will double-bias one towards it because the easier way is tempting, and one should be double-suspicious of one's reason for believeing.
Would it be really awesomecool if one had insider information and knew the Truth(tm) about aliens, UFOs, the Pyramids, the Lord, when other people don't, giving the insider a feeling of superiority? That will double-bias one towards believing it, and one should be double-suspicious of their motives.
Would it be really awesomecool if one could control other people's minds, and it would tickle a power fantasy; coolness, secret knowledge, insider status, and amazing power if it was true? That will quadruple-bias one towards it and makes it even more suspicious and story-like.
And you came back to me with "you have been rooted" "sorry to burst your bubble" "you're late to the thing I knew ages ago" "there's a secret power fantasy" "{respected group} are all fools compared to {secret insider information}".
I may be late to the party, but I worried about Spontaneous Human Combustion and watched the X-Files, and looked in the sky for UFOs and feared ghost sightings and thought it was cool when reports came in of an invisible force-field blocking a car from moving in a car park, I had a subscription to the Fortean Times and couldn't help but notice how the ghost reports and paranormal reports were a tiny fraction of it, and most of it was a double-headed snake or a shadow seen at night in a remote village which maybe was a wild animal but maybe was El Chupacabra.

> "yet there are many such cases which fit a pattern that a small percentage of humanity can run around among our minds like hackers on the internet."
As I said about X-Men films and Magneto compared to wiggling a playing card, look at X-Men films depictions of Professor Xavier and his mind control abilities. Now look at the speeches of Martin Luther, or populist politicians, or the stage presence of popular singers and entertainers, look at the crowds of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands fired up by their words, convinced by their rhetoric. Look at the effects on civilisation of preachers and religions, the Cathedrals the lifelong devotion, at the effects of silver tongued cult leaders. The visible effect on people's behaviour is enormous, visible and unmistakable. Now compare to the ide that "a small percentage of humanity can run around among our minds like hackers" and the evidence is no different to background noise; suspiciously, almost by design, no different to a story that is unprovable or undisprovable. Did the playing card wiggle, are you a true believer or have they got to you? What does it have in common with the rules of thumb I considered earlier - are hackers awesomecool and using modern buzzwords? Check. Would it be secret insider knowledge that feels superior to know? Check. What are they doing with their power, are they Jeff Bezos amassing wealth or Elon Musk trying to reach Mars or Putin trying to amass power? No, they're ... making scientists think quantum entanglement cannot communicate information and telepathy isn't real. Hmm.
Of course I can't /prove/ these things didn't happen or don't mean anything. But then the stories which can easily be disproven ("the moon is gone!") have no reason to stick around.
I still fear ghosts even though I no longer believe in ghosts. I am God-fearing even though I no longer believe in the Judeao-Christian old man in the sky I was told about from birth. Scary stories have a sticking power in the mind, and it makes sense that avoiding harm is more useful to a living creature than gaining pleasure, and false positives have small cost.
> "Thought control now regulates our minds, even our ability to think (or not think) of a topic may be influenced by these controls without our awareness."
Like the idea that there is no free will; it would mean I have no ability to change my belief in free will, so it's irrelevant if true. If thought control is regulating my mind without my awareness, none of this matters - none of what you write or what I write makes any difference to anything or anyone. I see a kind of thought control - women in abusive relationships, people in cults, people talked into believing things or not believing things - without needing telepathy involved. Why should I think that telepathy is more real than story?

I speculate to you that the entire Sun is not powerful enough to pull the Earth into it, and the amount of energy required to twist spacetime so two distant places are touching in a wormhole would be literally mind-blowing. But why, and how, might I have a wormhole connection to you, of any kind of entanglement or spacetime warping, when we were born so far apart and don't know each other? Why am I more likely to have a connection to your neurons than to the neurons of a nearby cat or a c-elegans parasitic worm inside a cat or to the neurons in your digestive system? You want to "burst my top-of-the-food-chain centrism" but you are prioritising humans as special and different when we are vastly outnumbered by other creatures with similar biology.

There is an exogenous, an interloper, an additive factor in addition to … lies , confusion, ignorance, stories, coincidence, interpretation, conjecture, speculation, imagineering, imagination, hope, or just guessing.
A few points to address…
> I speculate to you that the entire Sun is not powerful enough to pull the Earth into it
It sure is and you reveal a light understanding of physics. We are in a STABLE orbit, that means the manifold of space time is curved such that we fall away and toward at an equal speed. If the earth “stopped” it would fall right down a hole that the sun is at the bottom —- yet alas, by the time earth was where there should be an impact it will be moving so fast it will go through about where the sun was (and isn’t anymore). If not going too fast it will fall back to wherever it is now gravitationally positioned, and the cycle continues until it stabilized, got away from the sun, or fell in!
I don’t mean to dismiss anything by this, “just saying” you can be close and still miss things.
> and the amount of energy required to twist spacetime so two distant places are touching in a wormhole would be literally mind-blowing.
It will never exists. Wormholes exist only in our minds (or similar quantum perturbance technology). They transfer information only, no matter. They are as easy to form as entanglement.
Besides this is the quantum/classical divergence.
Universal potential is underlying classical physics, not a separate glove in a box.
State is the manifest form, the resolve of potential in the moment of “now”. State is both emerging from collapsing potentials and in decay.
The spooky phenomena is universal potential operating outside space/time (though “now” is the only moment that ever exists). Space time is the byproduct.
A wormhole is merely a stable entanglement which can be used by {some technological mechanism} to transceive.

You don’t!
The entanglement is captured, maintained, and moved around through means of the brain’s biotechnology. It might take you a thousand years to “figure it out” on your own. After well over a thousand years lurking in our humanity, what exists today is a continuity of byproduct. It is technology.
Power is occult! Laugh if you will! Why shouldn’t this be protected by lies and confusion? What good really comes of a big reveal?

Nope.

And I’d rather forgo the compulsory link to their “refutation”. I offer that denying the elusive is easier than filtering for “hrm”.
Like I said, people don’t know what they’re saying or experiencing, they are accounting in their own interpretive way, and these clues accumulate over time.

I cite Feynman’s book: Surely you're joking mr. feynman
Firstly when he describes his experiences with sensory deprivation chambers (which is a whole cult culture dedicated to exploration through mind entanglement.)
Anecdotally, his discussion with his voices at night while drifting to sleep.
And that funny conversation he had when trying to join the army to go off to war (controls played a funny game with him, they didn’t want him charging off to war.)
It is easy to refuse to believe signs of an uncomfortable truth yet these conversations throughout history do add up.
We are not alone in our own minds, and there exists a quantum consciousness technology within us incomprehensible by ordinary modern minds.
They are playing games with us, these disembodied men with capacities easily confused with those of God or devils, take your pick.
Feynman wanted to march off to war. Back then, that war was perceived as a righteous war. Hard to believe, I know.
And bicameral doesn’t explain away the thought controlling. Those thought controlling are a thousand miles away in the protected confines of solitude, not hiding behind a bush a dozen feet away.
> "those thought controlling are a thousand miles away in the protected confines of solitude, not hiding behind a bush a dozen feet away."
Have you read Jon Ronson's book The Men Who Stare At Goats[1]? An account of the US army's paranormal investigations. It is non-fiction but reads like Catch-22.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Men_Who_Stare_at_Goats
In the past decades the Arian brotherhood and their rape prisons were more successful in power than the United states military.
Roughly one sixth of the world hear “the voices” and it is taboo to speak of this.
One one thousandths of these are able to manipulate and travel among the minds of others (through consciousness). One of a thousand among these can completely manipulate thousands at a time (power is non-linear).
A secret society of power cults already have the power of god in mens minds and they like to keep it that way.
Consider how people behave on the internet when they are anonymous and have the power to mess with others.
It is a thousand times worse with thought control powers.
