Quantum Theory and Your Quantum Mind

Did you know that you have a quantum mind? Do you know that your unconscious mind decides what is reality to you based on what you expect?   It’s true.

Here’s how it works.

The  many worlds theory of quantum mechanics  states that there are a limitless number of optional outcomes (past and future) in any situation. We select the outcome we experience based on our specific expectations, focus and state at any point in time.

• Imagine a limitless number of paths stretching out in front of you , each leading to a different result. Simply put, quantum mechanics postulates that we select one of those paths to act upon as our reality.
• If you haven’t seen  the movie “What the Bleep do We Know,” I’d highly recommend you get it and watch it.  It’s a great explanation of your reality!

When I heard that theory some twenty years ago, I knew it was true. All I had to to was to watch a football game with 2 guys rooting for 2 different teams and I could see quantum theory in action.  They each saw a totally different game, especially when the refs called a foul…

Our Quantum Minds as Computers

Thanks to mind science, I’ve come to understand more and more about how quantum mechanics applies to every human. Quantum is part of us because It’s all in our minds! Here’s how it works….

We take in over 11m bits/second of sensory information.  Think about that for a minute. That’s a LOT of information from our eyes, ears, feelings and other senses.

Contrary to what many of us were taught, out conscious mind does not process the information we take in. Our unconscious mind manages this vast flow of information.

From that 11M bits/second, our unconscious mind selects 126 bits/second to give to our conscious mind for processing and action.  That’s .0000122 of the total information available to us.

Here’s a simple analogy;

• Imagine you stack box of toothpicks a mile high.  That’s the data you take into your mind every single second.
• Pick one box of toothpicks from that stack. That’s the amount of data you select as your reality, your experience, every second.

Talk about selective attention! Which begs the questions;

• What about all that other information we take in?
• How many other realities are there in that 10.9 MB of data we ignore?
• How many different experiences could we construct from that deleted data IF we changed our expectations to actually be able to use it in our reality?

That’s what got me hooked. Those questions, and so many more.

What is Reality?

What you or I select to act on is based on our individual expectations and, to some degree, our current point of focus.  The same is true for everyone on the planet. We each select.0000122 percent of our available data to process in every second.

Want to make a bet about how many of us select the same 126 bits?

Quantum mechanics has proven that scientists see what they expect to see, particle or wave, when they look through a quantum microscope.  The same thing is true of each of us. We all choose our own unique reality.

That means we each live in a reality of our very own selection. A reality that we choose and interact with based on our own  individual expectations. No two realities are alike.

Our quantum minds explain why multiple people can and do respond to the same stimulus with  multiple and very unique perspectives. Talk to anyone about a movie or a football game and you’ll get as many perspectives as you have people. The same goes from every meeting, interaction or experience in our individual lives.

The Power to Change Our Reality

Understanding we all select our unique reality is phase one.  How do we change what we choose to see as reality? That’s where mind sciences come in.

Imagine, leveraging the power of our quantum mind:

• Transforming that bad day into an unstoppable sequence of positive events.
• Changing the way you feel about your boss, spouse, co workers or friends simply by shifting your state of mind and the information you choose to see.
• Shifting from a long-term job search where you’ve found no great opportunities to suddenly find a wide variety of suitable and available options.
• That’s the power of your quantum mind. Truly.

We  all  have the power to shift our perspectives by using our attention to shift our expectations, that drive our experiences. When we do that, we change the information we select from the ocean of data around us. As a result, we literally shift our lives.
