This is Cynthia Sue Larson
I'm the best-selling author of the book, "Quantum Jumps:
An Extraordinary Science of Happiness and Prosperity." I've just come back from
New York City, where I was interviewed by Deepak Chopra
on his show, "One World with Deepak Chopra,"
and I really had a great time doing that interview.
I loved getting to see the Deepak Homebase right there at
ABC Carpet and Home, and
I also got to meet a wonderful personality
and actual gold medal winning Olympic medalist.
His name is Sugar Ray Leonard-- actually Ray Charles Leonard--but everyone knows
him as SugarRay. While he was talking--because I did stay to hear his interview as well--
I was really moved by something he
talked about, and that was the significance of the Boys Club in
his life, and what a difference that made in terms
of having a sense of hope, and goals.
It's an amazing coincidence, because I also mentioned a story in my book, Quantum
Jumps, and there's even an illustration.
This is college pennants on the wall. That's
an illustration from the story of Denzel Washington's life, because he was also
tremendously influenced
in a positive way by the Boys Club in his life.
The tie-in with Quantum Jumps is just the idea that sometimes when we
see that someone is doing something that we may not have thought possible for ourselves--
when we start recognizing as Denzel Washington did that
it is possible--you just need to set your sights on a different goal--
sometimes just that very simple thing
of seeing that a previous classmate in the Boys Club
had gone on to college and was sending back a college pennant
to the Boys Club director where Denzel Washington was--
that's the story that I share in "Quantum Jumps"--
that made a huge difference for Denzel, who then decided,
"Hey, if Gus can do it, then I can do it!" basically.
So it brings an idea closer. When you think it's possible, then it is.
And that's really the whole key to the science
of quantum jumps--recognizing that you can act as if
and benefit from things like embodied cognition,
that scientists are discovering that's so powerful. That's the work of Amy Cuddy,
for example, at Harvard University. And of course the placebo effect, and
the fact that it's remarkably effective, and
in fact has been doubling in efficacy over the last thirty years.
So when you look at things like that, you recognize that acting as if
oftentimes has a huge influence on our physical reality.
Fortunately for all of us, this is something that we can look forward to
seeing more
about in the future. But getting back to my trip to New York City,
it was wonderful! And I'm very much looking forward to seeing the interview posted.
it will be on "One World with Deepak Chopra."
It's a delightful experience just to be on the show,
and the conversation that comes from Deepak is quite significant and deep
because
he's been working in the field of the science of
the way thoughts and feelings and reality and consciousness interact
for so many decades.
I'd like to leave you with my favorite question, "How good can it get?" and until
next time
keep asking that question, and hopefully it will start percolating down into the
subconscious level
where that's where we really do manifest our dreams
because this reality is consciousness
that's very much like a dream. And as the father of quantum physics,
Max Planck, once said, "I regard consciousness as fundamental.
I regard matter as
derivative from consciousness."So that's a big idea, and it all starts
with
cleaning out the emotions inside of ourselves.
Scientists are noticing the importance of that, as well--that's something we've been talking about for
years.
So keep asking that question, "How good can it get?"
no matter what is happening right now. Anticipate that things can always get better.
Let your imagination take you there. Let your subconscious start
finding ways to work with the entirety of all reality
in this one mind, many worlds experience
that we're all sharing, and find out for yourself. So until next time,
again this is Cynthia Sue Larson with RealityShifters.com
and I'm going to keep asking, "How good can it get?" too! Take care.
