This is Cynthia Sue Larson, with RealityShifters.com
and also the author of the best-selling book, "Quantum Jumps: An Extraordinary Science
of Happiness and Prosperity." Today I'd love to talk with you about
the top five myths related to quantum jumps and quantum jumping,
and why I see them as myths, and
what the truth is in my opinion. So the first myth
that I hear about quite a bit is that quantum phenomena
only occur in the quantum realm. In other words, the term quantum jumps has been
misappropriated
because it is now being used by me and some other people
to refer to macroscopic changes
of things appearing, disappearing, transforming, transporting--all these reality
shifts that I've been talking about since
the late 1990s. And other people before me
have brought them up as well. So this idea
of quantum jumps--what did it originally mean? I like to refer to a passage in the
New York Times from 1986
which was headlining the article, "Physicists Finally Get to See Quantum
Jump
With Own Eyes." Now this really is a quantum jump
at the quantum level, being witnessed by a macroscopic person.
This is a quote by Dr. Warren Nagourney
at the University of Washington. He's describing that palpable excitement he
felt
when he was able to be part of the teams of physicists who first witnessed
these quantum particles making quantum jumps.
He said, "You have to hold your self steady
and look for minutes at a time, and then you'll see it switch. You see the trapped
ion
blinking on and off. Each blink is a quantum jump
it's a striking illustration that things occur discontinuously
in nature." Now since that quote was made in 1986,
Nature magazine has proclaimed that Quantum Biology is now here.
So there are going to be more and more of these types
of 'misappropriations' of the term 'quantum jumps'
because these discontinuities actually
are all around us in Nature all the time. These are the kind of things I've been
been reporting on for a number of years, so anything that could
fall into the category of spontaneous remission from disease or injury--
things including synchronicities, coincidence,
and the placebo effect--
you're going to see a lot more research in these areas, as well as Quantum
Biology,
and in fact, including Quantum Astronomy,
and the Theory of Everything; because there are physicists--
which I'll be getting into in just a minute--
that are proposing that the many worlds is the multiverse; that they are one and
the same.
Myth Number 2: the multiverse can't be proven.
This is the idea that the theory that
quantum jumps depends on, that there are these other possibilities--
these other realities. Fortunately for all of us,
there is now a way to test mathematically the hypothesis
of the multiverse. And this right now is being tested
at the Perimeter Institute by Matthew Johnson and a lot of other physicists
are aware that you can also
use mathematical modeling to see what it would look like in our universe--in this
expanding multiverse--if bubble universes collided
together. What kind of effects would we be looking for?
This is one of many ways that this can actually be
falsified as a theory, therefore making it science. Myth Number Three:
quantum jumps encourage unethical
identity theft. Now this is something you might laugh at,
but I've actually heard people concerned about the like what about the ethics
tampering with all these possible realities out there.
This is almost like talking about whether the ethics
affecting your own imagination
and the possibilities that you are always considering. Do you restrict the kinds of things
your imagination goes out and enjoys to
experience. Maybe you do. I certainly
do, actually. But in terms of what are the impacts, and what's the
ethicality of it--this really gets into the idea that the
possibilities that are so-called 'out there' exists only as possibilities,
until you decide, "I am experiencing this."
You the consciousness, not you the physical body.
So it really changes the idea of what is 'identity.'
And so quantum jumps, because of that challenge to
how we conceive identity--I guess maybe that's the actual 'theft,'
which is a bigger one, in terms of realizing
all of this belongs to you--the world, the Earth.
And in a very real sense, you are the center of things.
There is an ethics to that, which I definitely recommend, and I
ask everybody that reads my books to ask, "How good can it get for all concerned?"
So the ethics to me are an integral part of this, which I
discuss in great detail in my book, "Reality Shifts:
When Consciousness Changes the Physical World." Myth Number 4:
You might get trapped in an alternate universe.
Now this is a possible thing that could happen, of course,
in the sense that you could get trapped in time, get trapped in space--
all these things might be possible. I would consider them highly improbable.
The way I describe quantum jumps in my book, "Quantum Jumps," and
in my website, RealityShifters, is that usually, people move through realities
like frames in a movie. Very often, you
don't even notice, necessarily, that you've had a quantum jump unless you notice that there are
things that are a little different
than they used to be, and that there's no possible explanation
other than the fact that this may be a reality shift or a quantum jump.
Myth Number 5: If you see no results
instantly, quantum jumps don't work. OK, this sounds
ludicrous on the face of it, because you know that with any kind of a profession
such as becoming a top chef in the world or
a top musician, and if you're performing, for example, with
the London Symphony Orchestra, you don't expect
to instantly be so good that you'd be picked as First Violin
with the London Symphony Orchestra after practicing for a week or two.
So quantum jumping actually is an internal art that
can require a number of years of dedication to become good at
just through meditation alone. Until next time, this is Cynthia Sue Larson
with RealityShifters.com inviting you to keep asking,
"How good can it get?" Thanks!
