I went to two workshops with Dorothy Maclean, one of the four cofounders of Findhorn. It was amazing. She's close friends with some of my friends I've known all my life, so I know her outside of the workshops too, and she's quite an interesting woman. She seems way younger than she is (86 or 87). The equations for quantum physics actually have to include conciousness to work. The idea is that it's time to stop thinking from a Newtonian point of view. Conciousness is all-pervading. It isn't something that pops into existance with human beings. Indeed, there are likely varying levels of intensity of conciousness, but certainly it is part of ev-er-y-thing.
