NON-DUALITY
Quantum Bodies
Physical - Sensing
Vital/Biofield - Feeling
Mental - Thinking
Supramental - Intuiting
Each of these experiences - sensing, feeling, thinking, and intuiting - comes from a corresponding world of possibility = physical, vital, mental and supramental.
The possibilities collapse to actual events of conscious experience via conscious choice. There is no local interaction between these worlds in possibility, no dualism. Consciousness mediates their non-local interaction via simultaneous collapse.

Silicon drop pilot waves --> single particle diffraction, interference , tunneling, quantum orbits.
Dynamics temporarily nonlocal, depending on bouncing history, its memory. Indeed memory is responsible for all the anomalous quantum behavior.
2) 2010 Nature article, University of California QM effects on a visible mechanical system, a kind of tiny drum with moveable parts just visibly detectable. Cool to near absolute zero and achieved a superposition state of the "drum's skin" where they simultaneously had an excitation in the resonator and no excitation. That is, the drum beat, and didn't beat, at the same time (superposition).
3) Potassium bicarbonate crystals exhibited entanglement ridges half an inch high (ordinary world of human scale
4) 2013 double slit sucessfully performed with molecules that each comprised 810 atoms.
5) 2013 Scientists entangled two very tiny but visible diamonds. Observing one instantly affected the other.
And it turns out properties like motion can be entangled, not just spin, polarization and vibrations like the drum.
6) Reported in the journal Nature, scientists worked with two pairs of entangled vibrating particles separated by 240 micrometers. When one pair was forced to change its movement, the other pair did as well. Motion was something never previously entangled. To achieve this feat, the scientists used two pairs of atomic nuclei, so that each had a positive charge and could be made to move through the manipulations of electric fields. Each pair included one magnesium and one Beryllium ion, which kept vibrating back and forth away from each other "as if they were connected by an invisible spring". When the researchers changed the motion of one pair by stopping and starting the vibrations employing fields and precisely aimed lasers, the other pair immediately and spookily responded in a way that was a perfect mirror image.
Every year brings more progress into seeing QT's magic at the macroscopic level of ordinary human scale objects.
Already we are at objects that can be seen visibly.

Quantum Effects in Biology
But there is now Extensive Research that quantum effects DO take place in Biology.
1) Magnetoreception in Birds and Migratory Animals (Entanglement)
2) How Plants Capture Sunlight
3) How the Mitochondria Creates Energy
4) Sense of Smell
5) Genes we inherit from our parents
6) Inside of Enzymes

II. Quantum Tunnelling - Ghost-like Walking through Walls.
Why does the sun shine?
Most people are probably aware that the sun is essentially a nuclear fusion reactor that burns hydrogen gas that releases sunlight that sustains ALL life on earth.
But fewer people know that the sun would not shine if it were not for an amazing quantum mechanics principle that allows particles to "walk through walls."
Two hydrogen nuclei have to get very close to fuse, but the closer they get the stronger is the repulsion because like charges repel.
To get them close enough to fuse is equivalent of being able to get through a brick wall - An apparently inpenetrable energetic barrier.
Newtons laws of mechanics and gravity, which describe everyday world would predict with certainty this would not happen.
Particles should not be able to pass through walls and therefore the sun should not shine...
BUT it does, thanks to quantum mechanics.
Quantum Tunneling can be visualized as the wavelike property of matter flowing around an object, like waves can flow around objects and sound waves can pass through walls.
If you could behave like an atomic nucleus you would sometimes be able to walk ghost-like through a wall.
The hydrogen nucleus inside the sun manages to do this... It can spread itself out and "leak" through the energy barrier like a phantom, to get close enough to its partner on the other side and FUSE.
Think about that next time you lay in the sun and realize that ghost-like quantum tunneling makes it all possible (including all life on earth).
Funny Example, JAIL BREAK
No barrier is safe in quantum mechanics unless infinitely high or infinitely long. Here is a survival tip. You are in a prison with walls of finite height and thickness. What's your strategy? I say go ram yourself against the walls as often as you can, because there is a small probability that you will suddenly find yourself on the other side. That is what happens in beta decay, which is just a helium nucleus, resides inside a big radioactive nucleus. The attraction between the alpha and the rest of the nucleons creates an attractive well V(r). Figure 23.6 page 532 Shankar. The alpha particles rattles a back and forth and can penetrate the barrier and escape scott free. Rare but there are such a large number that your geiger counter will click. Probability per attempt is 10-38. Much more likely winning powerball.
But if you bought 1038 tickets then it would be very likely. 1 gram of atoms is a number of around 1021-1023 so a small amount of matter is needed to make it very likely.
By comparison in your prison escape, it's only one of you and you are much larger and much less likely. But if you have given up on your lawyer or a presidential pardon, it may be your best bet.
