A more technically correct title is Growing Telomeres through Consciousness (which apparently does not originate in the mind

An expert in quantum physics says that consciousness is not a thing of the body, it is integrated into the fabric of our universe. He says that one way of looking at this is that the strange features of quantum mechanics, (which make no sense and we don't understand), not only applies to the very small, but to everything.
According to NASA Physicist's Robert Campbell's Theory of Everything (TheBigToe.COM), the consciousness can be used to change the probability distributions w/r to normal outcomes in our everyday lives. (This theory evolved from what he had seen at the Monroe Institute, including so-called Remote Viewing (used by the Soviets and later the CIA) which is not something that occurs because of electromagnetic radiation. Putting the remote viewers in Faraday cages to block all electrical fields has no effect on remote viewing.)
Under his theory, our existences is very much analogous to a "virtual reality" and abides by rules much like a virtual reality game. For an overview on the theory, and repeatable (and unbelievable) scientific experiments that have been run (toward the end of the lecture) see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CL_bU4O0A4
While this may be Never-Never land, we don't have to believe it to wonder if an expanded level of consciousness can be used to affect the probability of "random events." Would it be possible to apply this to the problem of growing telomeres? A possible application of Campbell's theory that may expand our life spans.
According to his theory, only if telomere growth is a function of some probability distribution, only then might we adjust the probabilities to encourage growth. And perhaps taking cycloastragenol or lying on a Shealy electrical bed, creates probabilities that our will can be used to control? (I never thought i would be "praying" when I take my TrifecTA).
Now from one viewpoint, this is a big problem. There are billions, maybe even trillions of cells in our body with DNA, and there are at least 297 telomeres in every cell!) We only care about the cells that divide, which are most cells, other than heart and brain. But quadrillions of telomeres to grow..
However, the famous Isreali Rabbi experiment (detailed in Campbell's lecture) implies that before the results of a telomere test are known, the "praying" (focused meditation) the Rabbi's did to change the outcome of 20 year old hospital records, might be able to change the outcome of telomere reports. (I am too new to all this to understand if changing the test results would also mean that the lengths of the telomeres would have to have necessarily changed, but that seems to be the implication. That consciousness can change reality, or more correctly, that we don't live in an objective reality that we think we do, and within certain rules the mind can be used to affect a random outcome if the result is not yet known or established.)
