I'm sure you've thought to yourself, "Why am I here and what is my purpose?" It's a question that we've all pondered at one point or another in our lives and no one really seems to have the answer. And maybe that's because . . . the possibilities are endless. Simply thinking about your purpose may ultimately help you to not only conceive it, but to manifest it once you have.
There's a theory in the realm of quantum physics that is called "downward causation." One of the pioneers of this scientific theory is Dr. Amit Goswami, Professor of physics at the Institute of Theoretical Sciences at the University of Oregon. Dr. Goswami asked himself, "What converts possibility into actuality?" After pondering and researching for many years, Dr. Goswami concluded that consciousness is the ground of all creation and existence. In other words, our universe is "self-aware" - and consciousness manifests our physical reality. The new paradigm is called "monistic idealism" and with it, the paradoxes of quantum physics, free will, choice, unconsciousness, creativity and spiritual growth are all explainable.
So let's take a look at downward causation, otherwise known as the neurology of "free will." Free will is the given ability to manifest our will, our intention, into being - into "actuality."
Psalm 82: 6 says, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."
Humans are made of subatomic particles and in quantum physics, scientists have surprisingly discovered that subatomic particles behave erratically. They bounce and shift without pattern - as if they are awaiting an intention to instruct them to become a manifestation. And sure enough, that's what scientists have discovered. They have discovered that when viewing subatomic particles, it is utterly impossible to pinpoint the location of a sub atomic atom. As it turns out, subatomic particles are able to be in more than one place at one time. They do not exist in our universe alone but rather it seems that they flutter in and out of an infinite number of parallel universes. Subatomic particles await instruction.
Subatomic particles wait for "intention" to be placed upon them before manifesting into actuality.
Scientists have found that, after a few double blind slit tests using sub-atomic particles as subjects, it was discovered they could change from particles to wave form then back again. These particles could leave our dimension then pop right back into it again. Scientists also found that these sub-atomic particles were changing from particles to wave form, depending on the intention of the scientists placed upon it. Even more surprising, they discovered that they could not remove themselves from the equation while testing the particles. The scientists themselves, through observation, influenced the particles. By placing their "intention" upon them, they had a direct effect on the end result.
In other words, it was the "intention" or observation of the scientists that directly influenced the outcome:
The state of possibilities are endless for quantum particles - until we "observe" or "intend" that they are only in one specific state. Your intention directly chooses the outcome for subatomic particles to manifest into.
Now mind you, folks, we are all made of subatomic particles so this applies to us as human beings. This is what spiritualists have been teaching for years and it also lends credence to the theory of the Law of Attraction. The theory that the universe has a check and balance system, yin and yang or karma, if you like, and that like attracts like. If you think it, you can be it. Your intention (thought) has a direct influence over your life because you are in constant control of the subatomic particles and you decide what they manifest into.
This falls in line with Dr. Goswami's studies and determination of downward causation. Downward causation is when the direction of casual "influence" extends from "higher" levels of reality down to "lower" levels of reality. The brain controls its atoms and molecules, rather than the atoms and molecules controlling the brain. Downward causation is thus also called "macrocausation", because if it exists, then macroscopic entities have causal powers over the atoms they are made of. Basically, what this means is that matter is manifested through a higher level - thought and intention. We create matter. Matter does not create us. It's a "top-down" theory, not a "bottom-up" one.
There is an online version of a book titled, "Downward Causation and the Neurobiology of Free Will." Each chapter summary is free to preview and explore for thought provocation. You can also purchase entire chapters in PDF form if you choose.
So you see, your life is what you make it. Your quality of life is what you make it. It is so very important to keep your thoughts clear and your intention pure. Because what you think of, is what you will manifest into being. Where you are and what you are experiencing today, is the direct result of your previous thoughts and intentions. Whether you realize it or not. If you sit around all day long thinking, "Oh my, I have so much debt." Then "debt" is what you are ordering the universe to manifest for you. You are subconsciously ordering your subatomic particles to manifest into debt for you. Your perspective and your subconscious daily thoughts directly influence your life and your existence. Your subconscious thoughts count the most, so learn to consciously control them. The sooner you realize this and accept it, the better your life can become.
So, if you're pondering what your purpose is, keep doing so and you may be able to better clarify it and watch it manifest itself into being. One of the greatest things that you can do for yourself - is to allow yourself some quiet time to think.

nice.. ive been a believer of the spiritual world and its true that we attract what we think.
It's exciting isn't it? :-)
"Downward causation is when the direction of casual "influnce" extends from "higher" levels of reality "down" to lower levels of reality". It's funny to read this here. I had just read something similar in a yoga book earlier. The conecpt was the same, however, the content was of the creation of all things. So do you think that kind of theory upon creation would be absurd? It makes more sense than any other. Hah I don't know. :)
Hi EternalLover,
Thank you for participating in many of the discussions here and adding your two-cents. That's what it's all about :-)
In my opinion, this theory makes perfect sense - the most sense out of all of them. And yes, I believe that downward causation is the root of all creation. Downward causation gives us the ability to manifest our dreams - to use our imaginations to create the material world around us. Now, how cool is that? And to me, this theory doesn't leave the creative spirit (God) out of the grand picture either. If anything, it proves to me that God does, indeed, truly exist. And not only does the creative spirit exist, but we have certainly been blessed with great gifts that we are now only beginning to understand. Ironically, it's now science that is helping us to understand and verify the spiritual teachings of the ages and civilizations gone by.
The creative spirit does live within each and every cell of every living thing on this earth - and the abundance that can be provided through his gift is limitless. That's my opinion anyway :-)
Keep on dreaming, you never know what may materialize . . .
Thank you for sharing your opinion MirrorofAphrodite. :)
I love your two-cents. Ha my mind is obviously in harmony with this theory you've posted. That's nice. Although I have not experienced this underlying consciousness directly, it could make sense that I am part of it. Or, it is part of me, or I am part of you, or any other person/life. I would think that our souls are not so different. Do we share that same bit of pure consciousness that allows us to be conscious of our Selves? It's a miracle to think about. :)
It's been so long since I stopped to check out your site, but I'm still around and haven't forgot about you!!
I really like this article. It's great! I studied this topic awhile back (not to the extent that you have though), and it's one of the reasons why I always have a positive view on life and what life brings to me..
Rlowe!
Where have you been, my friend?! So nice to see you again! Thanks for stopping by and thanks for appreciating this article and commenting. I think it's message is an important one :-)
I hope all is well for you!
Has anyone speculated on searching what may happen on combining the dates of February 22, 2012 with February 29, 2012 and last but not least December 21, 2012 within the Chinese computer changeover on December 22, 2012?
thank you, it is perfect Ive been telling people about this for yrs. everything fits. also look at thomas campbell, MY BIG TOE, its the theory of everything
in buddhism its called practicing "mindfullness" we must practice in order to get better at it, it does work. Ive been practicing for a long time
the vedas say Brahmin is everything everywhere, always
How about this! Ive been musing for a very long time now on "As above, so below" to explain why it is that I have such a strong conviction for astrology! The idea of Macrocausation just confirmed this for me. A theory that Ive come up with has more to do with vibrational influences and the disturbances and causes created by changes in vibrations, knocking particles together and off course etc, I dunno, its not very clear to me yet, but It makes sense in my head!
dani its not that uncommon for you to think that after all the earth is just a larger scale composition of human dna im sure the earth shaking is just the fz of the universe's perfect harmony to keep us all in sync with natures balance much like the female reproductive cycle mother earth not that different also formerly known as gaia
