What is Quantum Physics?
Facts Of Life
Simply stated, the Universe we live in is governed by specific, natural laws. Quantum Physics is the science that studies these laws. It is the brainchild of Quantum Mechanics, which is the study of the Cosmos. Quantum Physics analyzes the building blocks of our Universe and traces them back to their origins. The word ‘quantum’ comes from the Latin, meaning “how much” or “portion”, and ‘physics’ from the Latin, meaning “nature”. Quantum Physics takes molecules, which we learned in elementary school were the building blocks of nature, and breaks them down to their sub-atomic levels. After molecules are broken down to atoms they are then reduced to sub-atomic particles that consist of photons, leptons, electrons, neurons, quarks etc. What Quantum Physics reveals at the sub-atomic level is that the Universe is a single gigantic field of energy and matter is just a ‘slowed down’ form of that energy.
Now, the study of Quantum Physics can get pretty complex for those of us that are not scientifically inclined so the following will be a very simple, ‘QuantumPhyics101’, explanation of how it all works. It’s not necessary to memorize the scientific data, but we’d love for you to leave with an understanding of the awesome Design of the Universe, of how everything is interconnected and how this greatly affects your world. We think once you have the fundamentals of basic Quantum Physics down, (or the Facts of Life as we like to refer to them) you will feel so empowered you will change your life, the way you think, the way you feel, the way you see, even the way you do things. This is when the possibilities then become limitless. Here are some of the basics:
Energy
In 1905 Einstein’s formula, E=MC2, replaced the earlier Newtonian theory that everything in life was made up of solid objects that were attracted to each other by gravity. Einstein’s history changing discovery proved that everything that exists, from the large, to the infinitesimally small, consisted of sub atomic particles which, at their core, comprised the same stuff, pure energy. Webster’s Dictionary defines energy as “the capacity to produce motion”. Below is the break down of Einstein’s formula:
E=MC2
Cosmos= Universe= Galaxy= Earth= Individuals= Organ Systems
Cells=Molecules= Atoms= Sub Atomic Particles
==ENERGY==
From this point quantum physicists, using Einstein’s model, took it a step further and discovered that at a quantum level, all different types of energy when broken down to it’s purest form, was the same energy, and that all, at it’s core, was comprised of this One Energy that makes up ALL THINGS.
What does this really mean in layman’s terms? It means that everything in our Universe is energy. That there is only one energy that makes up all things. It means that air is comprised of this one energy, that stars are comprised of it, nature, water, your thoughts, your emotions, the chair you’re sitting in, the car you drive, your pet, they are all the same thing, energy. We, our physical bodies, are a field of energy operating in a larger field of energy. We are immersed in a sea of energy.
Observer Effect
Einstein’s discovery stated that energy traveled in waves, while other theories suggested that energy traveled in particles. As technology advanced and more sophisticated equipment became available, a couple of scientists by the name of Max Planck and Neil Bohrs, began conducting experiments to study these waves more carefully. What they determined was that the sub-atomic particles being studied took on the expectation of the scientists studying them. In other words, if the scientist doing the experiment thought he would see particles, he would see particles, and if the other scientist expected to see waves, he observed waves. The conclusion was that the energy of these sub-atomic particles acted and responded in exact proportion to the thoughts or expectations the scientists who were conducting the studies had for them. This is known as the Observer Effect. So if in the quantum domain you always get what you’re looking for because nothing is fixed and it’s all potential energy waiting for your directive to set it in motion, then it is really you who are the creator of your reality. By placing your attention on a desired outcome you transform this ever-changing sea of potential energy into observable reality. These particles respond to your thoughts, to your intentions, to your expectations, there is no outside source, no objective reality, it is all ONE ENERGY it is all YOU. It’s pretty simple really, what you focus on you attract into your reality.
Further studies by Planck went on to reveal that these sub-atomic particles of energy had the ability to communicate with one another independent of time and space, and that this communication or vibration was received immediately regardless of how far apart the particles were. (Non-Locality). Simply stated, everything is one huge vibrating mass of infinite energy, an ocean of vibrating motion without limits, without separation, just waiting for your powerful thought to call IT into physical form.
Let’s review. Everything is energy, one energy. One huge vibrating, limitless mass that you call into existence by what you observe, by what you think, by what you feel. Your powerful thoughts (expectations, emotions) creatively transform matter. Matter is energy that vibrates at a specific rate of frequency and forms how you look, what you see, and what shows up in your life. You literally hold your life in place by the thoughts you think on a continual basis which form belief systems, your belief systems are powered by your emotion and then used to vibrate this frequency and poof, you have manifested it into tangible, physical form. This is the winning or, oft times, losing combination that makes your life look like it does today. So science has simply confirmed what spiritual seekers have known for ages. You have the power to change your world one thought at a time. This is good news if there are things in your life today that are not bringing you the happiness or fulfillment you feel you deserve and are ready for. So if you find yourself creating the same job, the same relationship, the same financial situation over and over again then perhaps it’s time to take the next step.
Steps Toward Manifesting Your Best Life
Metaphysicians have been teaching for thousands of years that of all the Universal Laws governing our planet the Law of Attraction/Vibration is by far the most powerful. The science of quantum physics, a fairly young science, has simply caught up. The world seems ready to hear this information again as is evident with books and films like “The Secret”, ‘What The Bleep Do We Know’, and “ Messages From Water” all quickly making it to the best-selling lists. Perhaps we are preparing as a species to go the next level, to make a quantum shift.
There is no trick to manifesting your best life. It’s not just for a select few, anyone can do it. When you adhere to the principles over time your physical reality must change, IT IS LAW! However, it is not always quick and, depending on your attitude, easy. It requires patience, dedication, and a willingness to know yourself and expand your awareness. It requires a commitment to change your thoughts. Now, on the average we think about 60,000 thoughts per day, and anywhere from between 60%-80% of those may be sub-conscious thoughts or belief systems. When you begin to observe just a small portion of these thoughts and the subsequent belief systems and prejudgements you hold, you begin to understand why the things in your life have shown up the way they have. A belief system is simply a thought you have over and over again, given life by your emotions ((i.e. I don’t have good relationships). Are you beginning to see a pattern of self-fulfilling prophecy here. Your original thought that you do not have good relationships was probably steeped with emotion, it was most likely a point of intense focus for a while, which in turn vibrated more of these kinds of thoughts and since this is how the Law works it manifested into reality so you don’t have good relationships! So how do we turn this around and become more deliberate about manifesting our dreams.
Firstly, you must think differently! The new thought must overrule the old one. Like attracts like at the level of thought and our thoughts then become like magnets. With patience and perseverance you will retrain your brain and learn to improve the nature of your thoughts. It is important to offer thoughts that will formulate your future experience, the future you wish to have. Remember, the Universe responds to our thoughts whether consciously or unconsciously, by our predominant focus. If we focus on the things we fear or don’t want, the Universe, which is impartial, will respond and bring us more of that. If we do not choose at all we wind up creating by default and this can be a bit tiresome, the same experiences over and over again making us feel stuck. A good rule of thumb to remember is that emotion follows thought. You can choose thoughts that make you feel good or thoughts that make you feel bad. It has been proven scientifically that your thoughts send a response throughout our bodies that can either strengthen or weaken us. So it is very important to feel good. Affirm thoughts that make you feel good.
You must be in alignment with what you are asking for to allow it in. You must be an energetic match to it. (i.e. if you are trying to create a new car you must align to the energy of abundance, so it would be just plain counterintuitive to walk around telling people how broke you are because broke is not abundance). Another word for alignment could be motion or vibration. You must vibrate what you are desiring to attract into your physical reality. You do this by bringing your emotions up to another level, feeling good no matter what. Affirmative thoughts combined with feelings will, over time, make you a perfect match for what you are wanting.
Another aspect of deliberately creating your reality is to envision that which you are asking to receive. Many studies have been conducted on this subject and have shown that your mind doesn’t distinguish what you are imagining and what is really happening. The same network of brain cells fire when you are observing something or just thinking about what you are observing. So be creative, dip into the pool of pure potential and conjure up a beautiful life for yourself, put some power behind that thought and see yourself living it now. Remember, in the quantum domain ‘You get what you are looking for’. You are a field of energy in a larger field of energy that materializes the things in your life at a rate of vibration. Visualize, dream big, fantasize. This is key.
Be in the Now. Let go of your past. When you are in the moment you are creating your future moments. When you dwell on the past you only create more of the same. As you are growing and changing thoughts will come up. Sometimes they will seem relentless and suffocating. Know that in order to hold your new vibration the old must go. It is part of the process and you are now becoming a vibrational match to what you are asking for. Be patient with yourself. Love and forgive yourself and others and breathe. You cannot stay in your past and intend a better future without acting on it, it is scientifically and spiritually impossible.
It has been said that gratitude is the most magnetic force in the Universe. Gratitude always opens you up to more. Be grateful for what is in your life now and you will get more of it. When you are in gratitude things flow, energy flows. When you resist you choke off that flow. Some people keep a gratitude journal. Some take some time in the morning to affirm what they are grateful for, some walk in nature or meditate or pray. There are no rules so do whatever works for you. We find that as you start your day getting out of bed, going to the bathroom and reading first thing, your MIRROR MANTRAS ™ and AFFIRMATIVE ART, ™ you set a tone for the day of feeling good and being grateful. As you go about your business there will be things in your day that will take your attention away from what you are focusing on so we suggest allowing your new thoughts to penetrate first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
Trust the process of life. Trust the Grand Design of the Universe. Know your Infinite Nature. Remember that everything is in a state of pure potential, that the possibilities are endless and as you focus your thoughts on what you want to attract you can literally call into existence whatever you desire. Check your frequency, are you attuned to you what you are wanting? Have you vibrated your dream today? If not then make today the day you dip into the sea of infinite possibility and make your dream a reality.
Blessings to All
