The Quantum Healing Solution

Late in the night of the spring equinox — the astrological New Year, the idea for this post as well as the timing of its publication came to mind.

I turned on my computer to message a “heads up” about my decision. It read, in part:

. . . three MAJOR, long-anticipated astrological events are due on March 25, April 8, and April 20. I will draft relevant posts . . . and publish them to coincide with those dates. 

. . . Gist of [The Quantum Healing Solution] is that the medical profession cannot improve before a paradigm shift allows for genuine healing from inner levels currently ruled out by empirical science. Similarly, political corruption/polarization can only be healed as a result of this shift. Will nominate a candidate for Healer-in-Chief . . .  

Since then, however, as a result of watching videos on the pending eclipse season, I’ve moved up the publication dates. I recognized that it’s better to be forewarned and thus prepared in advance of the actual date.

Eclipses are regarded as times of powerful new beginnings. Astrologers advise that we use them as opportunities to set intentions.

At the time of the culminating Full Moon lunar eclipse at 5 degrees of Libra on March 25th, we’re called to leave behind that which is obsolete and no longer serving our best interests.

The Sun will be at 5 degrees of Aires in direct opposition to the Moon. According to the Starcodes ASTRO Oracle deck, the dynamic of an opposition is confrontation. The advice in this situation is to stay centered and operate from wisdom and strategy instead of emotional heat. Its gift comes from responding with compassion and tough love, from your highest self. Take the high road.

In this case, the Libra Moon’s shadow side of over-compliance and appeasement is being challenged by Aires’ dominant call to individuation and personal sovereignty. By leaving the old behind, we reap the rewards of the new going forward.

The abbreviated Sabian Symbol for Full Moon location reads: 05° Libra: PROPHECY. Receiving vision from those who recognize the directions of future events.

In contrast, the New Moon solar eclipse on April 8th is the right time to choose the positive changes we intend to implement over the coming year.

The Sun and Moon will be conjunct at 19 degrees of Aires. The dynamic of a conjunction is alliance. The advice in this case is, Find allies who support your ideas, as this is not a situation in which to go it alone. Bring in someone with an extra skill to offer your project. . . a partnership works best when each brings gifts and challenges to the table. . . a conjunction can become greater than the sum of the parts.

The abbreviated Sabian Symbol for this point reads: 19° Aires: CREATIVE RELEASE. Use of imagination to visualize solutions to limiting situations.

Synchronistically, the pre-assigned subject of this post, the Quantum Healing SOLUTION is a direct match to the designated energy of this eclipse placement.

The New Moon solar eclipse at 19 degrees of Aires is unusually auspicious and significant because it’s augmented by the energies and import of additional conjunctions. It is partnered (in alliance with) both the North Node (associated with humanity’s collective future) and with Chiron, the great healer. (More about this later.)

The key term for the Lunar North Node is FUTURE. According to the Starcodes ASTRO Oracle Guidebook, it represents a place the soul longs to be — where fate beckons. This is uncharted territory; you don’t have a map.

It broadcasts a call to the collective to Think about where you’d like to be and what you’d like to be doing in ten years, and make this a beacon that guides you through the time in between.

In astrology, Chiron is a comet with a unique and erratic orbit. In the natal chart, Chiron is symbolized as the great or “wounded healer.” It represents our deepest wound and our efforts to heal the wound. 

In Greek mythology, Chiron, was a centaur, part human, part horse — an exceptionally gifted healer and teacher who, ironically, because he was immortal, could not heal a mortal wound. 

The placement of Chiron in an astral chart points to the location of available healing potentials developed in response to deep spiritual wounds or blind spots.

Because the wound goes deep, the native has worked hard to overcome it, developing potent healing powers in the process. It designates place of great knowledge, experience, and wisdom. Problematic life experience informs us, making us excellent guides and counselors in these areas of life. 

To repeat, the abbreviated Sabian Symbol for Chiron’s location during the April 8th New Moon solar eclipse reads: 19° Aires: CREATIVE RELEASE. Use of imagination to visualize solutions to limiting situations.

Here’s my recommended intention. Let’s leave behind the competition, conflict and disease-fraught paradigm of the past, using this eclipse season as a golden opportunity to shift to the Quantum Healing Solution of Einstein’s Unified Field Theory — a paradigm equally consistent with the timeless, universal perennial philosophy and with quantum physics.

Expanding on the last post, here are a few rhetorical questions:

Question: How can medical practitioners facilitate healing from an empirical science paradigm that rules out wholeness (the definition of healing being “to make whole.”)

Answer: While individuals with positive personal belief systems demonstrate the innate ability to align themselves with health, the current profit-oriented healthcare industry is neither committed to nor capable of facilitating genuine healing. The time is soon coming, however, when the collective will shift to the Quantum Paradigm foundational to restoring wholeness and genuine healing on all levels, in every aspect of daily life.

Question: How can globalists restore world peace while at the same enforcing a hollowed-out, soulless paradigm that rules out Source, the center of peace?

Answer: Not possible. It’s a loaded trick question — an inherent contradiction.

Question: How can politicians possibly fulfill promises to unify the voting population, when most (including themselves) are brainwashed and operate on a paradigm that’s antithetical to the possibility?

Answer: They can’t. So long as leaders continue to operate on the strictly materialist paradigm of empirical science, even with the best of intentions, unity at every level of society can’t happen.

In the alternative, here’s another set of questions:

Question: Is there a better paradigm that DOES open the door to genuine health, peace and unity, first within, then increasingly in the world around us? One that would allow for unity consciousness to prevail, one which heals divides, restoring wholeness to our fractured lives?

Answer: Yes! It’s Einstein’s intuited, yoga-compatible UNIFIED FIELD THEORY.

Question: How do we get from here to there?

Answer: It will take a paradigm shift of massive, global proportions, starting one person at a time: with me and you. In the balance, the support of national thought leaders in the know (the more the better!) will be what it takes to tip the balance in favor of Quantum Health Solutions.

Here’s my personal choice. I hereby nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the nation’s Healer-in-Chief, as opposed to a nominal Commander-in-Chief.

Here are just a few of the reasons why:

  • Having survived tragic personal losses compounded by health issues, emerging stronger, better, and wiser, Bobby is eminently qualified to lead as a “wounded healer.” 
  • As an environmental lawyer, he has successfully defended We the People against corporate interests that ruthlessly exploit nature and ruin the public’s health for profit.  
  • As a champion of addicted and underserved youth, he’s piloting rehab communities intended to restore health and sanity to We the People. 
  • As a long-time target of deep-state globalists, Bobby is savvy, highly motivated and deeply committed to restoring future peace, freedom and sovereignty to We the People.

CONCLUSION

Here’s the final advice offered by Dr. Michael Lennox in an interview with Michael Sandler of Inspire Nation, A Double Eclipse is Coming! How to Prepare for the Solar and Lunar Eclipse!

Michael Sandler: Any last brief words you want to share about the eclipse season and everything that’s coming right now? 

Michael Lennox: Don’t fear the eclipses. Trust that the solar system is simply taking us through something that we are expecting. We’ve been primed and prepped for it. It’s in the natural order of things. It’s part of the unfolding. It’s not something that’s going to trip us up. It’s the next indicated expansion. Have at it! Woohoo!!  

I especially liked his mention of this bumper sticker message:

Aha, AHA, AHA!!!

Often, when I open my eyes first thing in the morning, I reach for my handheld recorder. As I speak. ideas flow from one to the next.

Recently, they came together. I clicked the recorder on and started. “Aha! AHA! AHA!!!!”

Please stay with me. For those seeking illusive world peace, starting with political unity at home, it’s worth the ride.

“How many different ways can I say this?!!! First things first. Fix the paradigm. Only then does all else follow.” 

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, that center of the quantum Life Wheel which the current paradigm rules out. Human survival depends upon returning to the essence of the perennial philosophy which allows direct, immediate personal access to inner authority.

For the curse of the obsolete, materialistic empirical science paradigm which rules out everything which can’t be measured and quantified is to be stuck on the surface with a pervasive sense of lack. Of not-enoughness.

Of the m=mass level of the quantum Life Wheel, it has been written:

Paradoxically, out of balance, abundance on the material plane seems to foster an insatiable sense of neediness. Lack of connection with the center breeds insecurities and greed. Infinite variations of the same eternal pattern are misconstrued as grounds for cultural conflict and competition for illusory supremacy.

As it is now, institutionalized human authorities, secular and sacred, manipulate to enslave and disempower the masses with the ultimate “malinformation:” a paralyzing worldview. So long as we’re locked into the straitjacket of a limiting paradigm, efforts to bring about positive change, however well-meaning, remain tragically futile.

Change the first things first. 

The courage and inspiration needed to overcome the globalist agenda reside within the deeper levels of the quantum Life Wheel which “science” rules out. We sometimes, by accident, get an occasional glimpse. But without a complete and accurate map, we don’t know how and where to consistently access what’s needed.

Even Einstein’s access was sporadic at best. 

Aha. AHA. AHA!!!!

The hollowed-out, materialist paradigm rules out awareness of the inner levels of energy and light. For this reason, we confuse, mistake and inappropriately express the inner energetic, poetic and spiritual meanings of the “hero’s journey.”

We act out on the surface level, in a literal way, that which is actually an inner urge for self-actualization. We seek to control others, rather than focusing on self-mastery.

The patriarchal, control and dominance paradigm doesn’t allow us to recognize the true nature of the archetypal impulse. Perhaps by design, it’s been rendered unconscious, inaccessible, and inexpressible in appropriate, inner ways.  

We venture forth to explore ever more distant new frontiers, capturing and conquering other peoples, as if this could satisfy spiritual longings. When in fact, that’s not the real, urgent need.

To reclaim the dynamics of the universal, internal impulse to growth, we first need to restore the complete and accurate Quantum Paradigm to collective consciousness – one that allows for the dynamic levels where the true hero journey actually takes place. One that would truly restore “power to the people.” 

Religious institutions too often enforce stagnant dogmas that put a lid on inner energies, preventing access to the inner authority we spontaneously crave and seek. They impose stale rituals as a substitute for genuine, real direct, spontaneous and immediate personal experience — connecting with Source.

Self-awareness and self-mastery are the appropriate satisfactions of inner urges which are too often misdirected outwardly as the impulse to aggression. That’s the real issue which must be recognized and addressed. Humanity urgently needs to reclaim and redirect inner urges historically expressed as invasions — warlike conquest.

To repeat: To correct and redirect this energetic dynamic, we first need to expand the paradigm. Align it with quantum reality.

First things first.  

Aha. AHA. AHA!!!!

It’s the inner, meditative journey imaged in the quantum Life Wheel to which we’re called, of which the outer, literal hero’s journey is only symbolic. It’s time to finally figure out what we really want and go after the real experience: the inward journey. Symbolic external conquest neither satisfies nor completes. 

Just maybe, one can hope and pray, we’ll get it right this time around. We’ll come to understand what we really want. What our basic value is. It’s the same freedom of worship which pilgrims on the Mayflower sought. They didn’t intend to exchange one religious persecution for another.

They quested for the freedom to experience directly for themselves the essence, the deepest truth which religions express. Not just the outer shell, a puritanical dogma. But consciousness itself. The awareness that we are each one with God. That we are made in the image of God. That each and every one of us are co-creators of reality, potentially powerful beyond measure.  

My pilgrim ancestor, William Kirby Brewster, left his homeland, braving the perils of an ocean voyage on the Mayflower to reach a “new world.”

It’s the same impulse that drives most illegal immigrants today. Why would anyone otherwise leave the familiar, risking the unknowns of the unfamiliar? Again, at the deepest, subconscious level, they’re impelled by the timeless call of the hero’s journey.  

They’re expressing literally, on the material level, something for which they have no map or model to articulate. They’re really trying to get back to wholeness, completion – to access and align with their own true selves — with the core center of unconditional love, from which all mental/emotional and material abundance flows.

What I now recognize is that the Phoenix Response described in Chapter Five of The Quantum Solution is a variation of the archetypal hero’s journey.

The tragic mistake of the narrow-minded, materialist thinker is to take symbols literally, as if what in quantum reality an inward soul journey of self-mastery were merely an outward adventure of exploration, conflict, domination and victory over others.

Only with the complete and accurate life map of the Quantum Paradigm does the intriguing, enticing wisdom of Lao Tze make sense, becoming truly achievable in our own daily experience.

Only in the context of the quantum Life Wheel does the Christian poetic imagery of being reborn make sense: Humans have the potential to die to the old by repeatedly returning to the quantum center and then extending outwards again, renewed and empowered, during the same lifetime.

Most often, this renewal is achieved through the intentional discipline of meditation.

In this context, repeated allusions to the timeless creative process envisioned in the world-loved Tao Te Ching make sense. References to the process of traversing the levels of quantum Life Wheel are found from the very first passage — which is why I called my version Two Sides of a Coin:

In a recent revisit, I was struck by how many passages repeat the quantum Life Wheel pattern of return to Source followed by extension back to the surface. Balanced moderation — integrating both sides of the process — is compared with the dangers of adhering to one extreme or the other — withdrawal OR attachment to manifested experience. Here’s one example:

Hence also the repeated references to youthful vitality and the sage’s likeness to a newborn. For example:

Here’s the contrast between the worldly rewards of focusing upon others versus the inner reward of self-knowledge:

The expanded version of the same passage contrasts the dangers inherent in the extreme, exclusively external, materialistic version of the hero’s journey, compared to the value of the quantum, inward trek towards self-mastery.

This wisdom applies on every scale of magnitude. Just as the advice to “mind your own business” as a top priority holds true inside families, communities on up to national affairs, it applies to international relations as well.

It was a well-known strategy in Maoist China, for example, for the tyrant to distract from dissatisfaction on the home front by redirecting attention, venting valid frustrations against an outside enemy.

It’s time for that repeating dynamic to stop.

Put the other way around, unless and until we see the universal impulse towards personal self-improvement through a clear, quantum lens, and harness it in appropriate ways, efforts on the large scale towards peacemaking, reconciliation and unity cannot succeed.

This natural dynamic cannot be suppressed. Nor should it be exploited, harnessed and misdirected by cynical warlords to serve destructive, unnatural ends.

From now on, let it be better, more wisely expressed.

At stake is human survival.

Align, ALIGN, ALIGN!

Recently, I threw up my hands. Just for a moment, I gave up on apparently futile attempts to reason with seemingly reasonable humans about the urgent need for a paradigm shift — one that would realign fragmented levels of quantum reality, restoring LOVE to its natural place at the divine center of humanity’s life wheel.

To counter-balance the toxic effect of following current events, I chose to reallocate savings accumulated to purchase a fully functional computer. Instead, feeling a compelling need to surround myself with positive influences sadly missing in my daily life, I purchased a small library of angel oracle card decks, adding to my already sizeable collection.

It was worth it.

Among newcomers to my shelf, the Healing Angel Cards gave me this message of patience balanced with hope. “DIVINE INTERVENTION: You may feel frustrated because something stalls or comes to a standstill. Progress seems painfully slow. Yet this is a blessing — it is divine intervention at work. When the timing is in perfect harmony all will come to fruition.”

There’s food for thought. It leaves me wondering about the wisdom of what I seek, the unforeseen consequences of misdirected efforts I’m not aware of, and misfortunes that might have been averted by the immediate standstill.

It also gives me hope that, most likely in unforeseen ways, blessings are sure to follow — in good time.

This Archangel Michael deck, Sword of Light, offers to “cut through everything holding you back and guide you toward the brilliant life of light and love you so fully deserve.” An interesting sword-shaped 5-card spread called “Cutting to the Core of the Truth” shows what is currently hidden, where you might be operating from a place of fear, your current strengths, needed change, and improvements resulting from increased awareness.

My first reading with deck was right on the mark. In the first place of “what is hidden from you, what you may be blind to”, #9 came up. Don’t Give Up on Love. This speaks directly to that isolated core imaged above, hovering as if inaccessible on the periphery of the fragmented quantum Life Wheel.

The message on the card face reads, “A relationship you cherish can be healed. Allow me (Archangel Michael) to clear the way for forgiveness so that love can thrive again.”

The Guidebook commentary concludes, “If your past experiences have caused you to give up on love entirely, I would urge you to allow forgiveness to wash over you. You deserve all types of love in your life. Don’t shut out the chance for it by saying, ‘I give up.’ Your angels love you. I love you. We will never, ever give up on you.

It was as if Archangel Michael had picked up on my very words. “I give up.” I’d made the mistake of looking the wrong place for hope, which rests eternally within, above and all around in the cosmic quantum ether.

The card in the second place that indicates “where you might be operating from a place of fear” was #21, “Open Up To Your Spiritual Gifts.” It reads, “Remember that your true nature is spiritual, not physical. The angels are sending you messages to guide your soul’s growth.”

This second message reinforced the first. I was reacting to toxic current events in the physical world that made me doubt the point of writing, feeling that I’m just one more lonely voice, lost in the cacophony of the internet wilderness.

The Guidebook advises, “I am continuing to clear any energetic connections that may be binding you to worry, fear, and self-doubt. I am moving these out of the way, casting them aside with a sweep of my sword of light. . .

The card that came up in the third place that speaks to “what strengths you can rely on now” was #3, Archangel Michael Is with You Now. It reads, “Even though you can’t see it, I am actively working on this situation. I am here and helping you.”

At the time, I could not see it. It helped to be reminded.

The card that came up in the fourth place that speaks to “changes you might need to make” was #14, Have No Fear. The message on the face of the card reads, “Fear is a trap of the ego. Allow me to use my Sword of Light to free you from disquieting feelings holding you back.”

It reads in part, “Know deep in your heart that you are loved and protected, and that your choices are being angelically guided.”

There you go. I was being advised to stop focusing on the confounded mess being made by people who should know better over matters that should be simple and clear, and say simply say what I’m given to say, surrendering outcomes in trust to the Source of the messages I’m given to deliver.

And the final card in the fifth place “signifying improvements resulting from increased awareness” was #27, Regain Your Focus. The message on the face of the card reads, “Trivial matters are distracting you from your goals. Archangel Metatron and I are here to help you stay grounded.”

The Guidebook commentary expands, “Daily life is currently distracting you from your primary goals and life purpose, and I am here to remind you of why you are here on Earth.” It concludes, “. . . concentrate on the big picture.”

Okay. Back on course, thank you very much.

Another newcomer, the Guardian Angel Messages deck, is a re-visoning of the classic tarot. I chose to use a simple three-card spread, with cards indicating the past, present and future.

The past was indicated by the very first card of the deck, here called The Dreamer. Its key words are Beginning. Believing. Protected. In most tarot decks, 0 is called The Fool, and signifies taking a leap of faith.

Of the Dreamer, the Guidebook says, in part, “Your guardian angels are walking beside you ever step of the way.” That does indeed describe my past. At every step of the way, however dangerous the circumstances, the right people appeared at the right time to help me safely along the next step of the way. Of my time traveling alone through Europe my teacher said flat out, “Your guardian angels were working over time!”

In the second place, representing the present moment, the card was The High Priestess. Its key words are Intuition. Wisdom. Patience. The advice in the Guidebook reads in part, “Take some time to be quiet and listen to the voice of the Divine and your guardian angels as they reach out to give you the answers you are seeking.”

Yup. That’s where I am right now. Taking a needed “time out,” working with my new angel oracle decks, seeking to regroup.

In the third place, representing the future, the card that came up was The Hermit. Its key words are Introspection. Self-Discovery. Mentorship. Usually the solitary hermit is pictured in tarot decks carrying a lantern to light his lonely path.

Comments in the Guidebook read in part, Seek and ye shall find. Ask your guardian angels for someone who can provide you with wise counsel and loving guidance, and you will discover a wonderful mentor or spiritual teacher. Or perhaps it is time for YOU to step out into the open as a teacher with many spiritual gifts. Do not underestimate the brightness of the light you have to offer others!

That’s still a bit hard for me to take. It’s definitely in the future. In the past, my teacher provided wonderfully wise counsel and loving guidance. When I write now, clearly his voice comes through me, speaking things I would not dare. But me myself, fully integrated, serving as an instrument of light? Am I ready to step into this role?

On the other hand, if not now, then when?

Another delightful deck called Guardian Angel Cards focuses throughout on the central, healing and guiding influence of LOVE permeating all things. Appropriately, rather than rectangular cards, the messages are printed on multi-colored, heart-shaped stock. They’re highly rated, and with good reason. There’s no guidebook, nor need there be. Messages printed on the cards speak for themselves.

Three cards which spoke to my immediate situation included a violet one, Breakthrough, a purple one called Believe, and a pink one: Miracle.

The message printed on the violet heart-shaped BREAKTHROUGH card reads, “How many beautiful heartfelt wishes have been crushed by fear? How many times has society’s voice of disapproval cast a shadow on your dreams? It is time to break free of these false beliefs and realize your dreams. Allow your heart to guide you. Trust your inner guidance. The time is right!”

On point. I need to break through through the crushing pessimism that had me at a standstill. Remembering love, quickening the heart and waking up to self-trust was what it would take.

The message printed on the purple heart-shaped BELIEVE card reads, “Be open to all possibilities and opportunities. Let go of preconceived ideas. There is nothing to fear. You are constantly surrounded by love. Start to believe in yourself and trust your instincts. Wondrous possibilities and opportunities abound, provided you are flexible and retain an open heart and mind. Believe. All is possible!”

I’m being called to push past current self-doubt. Say Yes! to life, once again.

Most hopeful is the message printed on the pink heart-shaped MIRACLE card, which reads, “Dearest One, Even if all hope seems lost, let not hope slip away, for I, your Guardian Angel, am constantly by your side. Surrender all your concerns to me and trust in the healing power of love. Please believe that you are never alone. Together we shall work through each issue or situation which is of concern to you. All heals with the passing of time. Magic and Miracles are about to manifest!

These angelic messages give me hope. They bolster courage. And sustain patience.

The Angel Wisdom deck is another re-visioning of the basic tarot. Three randomly selected cards representing past, present and future again were accurate reflections of my situation.

In the past position was the Four of Swords. Raziel, archangel of magic, is its designated guardian. Descriptors on the face of the card read, Insights that come from meditation. The need to rest or take a vacation. Allow yourself more time before making a decision. Mental exhaustion. Get more sleep.

In the present position, again, the High Priestess appeared. Haniel, the archangel of heightened intuition, is her guardian.Descriptors on the face of the card read, Meditate and turn inwards to discover your soul’s true desire. This is not a time for action. Develop your intuitive gifts and trust the wisdom you receive.

In the future position was the Nine of Water (Cups in the classic tarot). Uriel, archangel of epiphanies and brilliant ideas, is its guardian. Descriptors on the face of the card read, Wishes come true! Your dreams become reality. A magical time of life. Good fortune. Faith in the Universe that all will be well.

The past and present were accurate. I look forward to experiencing the future coming to pass!

In sum, these angel oracle decks serve as useful tools for realigning personal awareness and daily practice to the wholeness envisioned in the quantum Life Wheel.

The messages of Abraham-Hicks repeats. Align. ALIGN. ALIGN! Seek to center yourself in Source. Align your personal life with the unconditional LOVE of your eternal being.

Get it together!

Stated in biblical terms, “Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven. All else follows.”

As Stephen Covey put it, First Things First.

Take the time to rethink and align lifestyle with ultimate personal values. Do whatever it takes to place unconditional LOVE at the center of your personal Life Wheel — where it belongs.

Align the inner levels of light and energy with surface, physical experience. Then, as I have found, all goes well.

And only then.

Perspective

RFK Jr. uncharacteristically writes Donald Trump off with a simplistic put-down.

“He’s a bully. I don’t like bullies.”

But in this extraordinarily dangerous world, don’t results matter as much, if not more, than personality?

For example, this bully stood up to China to protect American trade interests. To protect the southern border by enforcing the “Remain in Mexico” agreement. This bully had what it takes to stand up to Putin, keeping aggression at bay. To quell the North Korean nuclear threat. And to sponsor the historic Abraham Accords.

Trump grieves that if the 2020 election he tirelessly campaigned to win had returned him (fairly) to the White House, the slaughter of an entire generation of Ukrainian youth would never have happened. Nor would have the deaths on both sides of the bloody Israel-Hamas conflict.

Giving credit where it’s due, isn’t that a valid point worth considering?

If I wanted to quibble at the level of personality, I could say, just as unfairly, that I don’t like lawyers. They twist the facts and abuse the language, denigrating opponents for the sake of argument.

But to be fair, keeping things in perspective, as a lawyer, RFK Jr. put a significant dent in corporate environmental abuses by exposing them and winning justice for victims in court.

Keeping things in perspective, both candidates dearly love America. Both have put their patriotism to the test, placing their lives and sacred honor on the line to battle the globalist agenda. Both have been subjected to massive unjust retaliation for so doing. Aren’t they brothers, fighting for a single cause?

Nevertheless, taking a cheap shot at Trump, RFK Jr. faults him for failing to deliver on his promise to clean out of the DC swamp. But for the grace of God, good Sir, there go you. That swamp is far more deep, dangerous and pervasive than anyone from the outside looking in can fathom.

As a matter of fact, it’s a miracle that Trump, a grave threat to that swamp, survived countless unreported assassination attempts during his presidency — not to mention the reported ones that came much too close. As a very cheap shot, good Sir, that’s a better track record than your uncle and father achieved.

Of this I am sure. Both candidates, each in their own way, believe deeply in God. And both feel called to serve their beloved country. No one could otherwise find the sustaining grit, courage and determination to embark on such a challenging course. Why are they not aligned on the same side as mutually supportive allies? Wouldn’t that better serve the nation’s interests?

This I pray. That the two, from the profound stillness of their deepest hearts, find a way to reconcile their differences. May they be shown a cooperative, creative, unique and powerful way to transcend the limiting, either/or rules of the “politics as usual” game.

May they be inspired to unite in common purpose to synergistically achieve together something far greater that either could accomplish alone.

And may their followers respect and support their common sense decision to hang together, rather than be hung out to dry separately by the globalists both of them oppose.

At the end of the day, I dearly hope that deeper brotherhood wins the day, overshadowing personality differences and political ambitions. There’s too much at stake to be small-minded, to lose perspective, and forget the larger picture.

There’s plenty of work to go around and valid responsible roles for each of them to play in service of the same cause: survival of this nation. Of humanity.

Taking Steps Towards a Hopeful Future

Dave Rubin urges us to be aware of the stark warning recently issued to Congress by Brett Weinstein. He testified:

“I’m as certain of it as I am of anything. We are being systematically blinded.

“We must zoom out if we are to understand the pattern that we are gathered here to explore. Because the pattern is larger than federal health agencies and the COVID cartel. . . They are hiding everything.” [NB: Who are THEY???]

“It is the only explanation I have encountered that will not only describe the present but also, in my experience, predicts the future with all but perfect accuracy.  

“The pattern is a simple one. You can see it clearly and test it yourself.

“Every single institution dedicated to public truth-seeking is under simultaneous attack. They are all in a state of collapse. Every body of experts fails utterly.

“Individual experts who resist, or worse, attempt to return their institutions to sanity, find themselves coerced into submission. If they won’t buckle, they are marginalized or forced out.  

“Those outside of the institutions who either seek truth alone or who build new institutions with the truth-seeking mission, face merciless attacks on both their integrity and expertise, often by the very institutions whose mission they refuse to abandon.”

Stark indeed.  

He continues,

“To my fellow patriots in the West, the pattern is unmistakable. I cannot tell you with any certainty who they are or what they hope to accomplish.

“But I can tell you that we are being systematically denied the tools of enlightenment [I’ll get back to that!!] and the rights guaranteed in our Constitution.”

And here’s his urgent call to action:  

“We — those who remain dedicated to the values of the West — must fight this battle courageously. And we must win.”

[But just how do patriots fight this battle, being blinded as to who “they” are, much less what they intend to accomplish, how or why?]

Yet the stakes could not be higher. Weinstein warns,

“For if we do not stem the tide, the result will be a dark age that differs from prior dark ages only in the power and sophistication of the coercive instruments wielded by those who will rule us.”

[This was foreseen even back in the 1970s, when I drew the following, repeating bell- curve cycle of history for a course on the origin and future of universities.]

Dave Rubin is similarly at a loss to pinpoint who “they” might be. He comments, “I always refer to it as the machine, the swamp . . . the globalists. . . . And Why? I don’t know. . . . Is it to fundamentally destroy the West?

Hint: Speaking as a scientist trained to view facts exclusively from the observable, material surface of the quantum Life Wheel, Weinstein is at a loss to understand the energetic dynamics — the pattern — he observes. Winning the fight he espouses requires a shift to the Quantum Paradigm described below.

The answers I have to offer as to who they are, what’s going wrong, where and why are laid out in The Quantum Solution.  Winning the fight Weinstein calls for, reclaiming a positive future for ourselves and those we love, necessarily begins with a fundamental paradigm shift, away from the limited and limiting paradigm of empirical science to the complete and accurate Quantum Paradigm which accords equally with the timeless perennial philosophy inherent in the world’s wisdom traditions and with quantum physics.

Within it are inherent the “enlightenment tools” which have systematically, to humanity’s detriment, been withheld from the public for thousands of years.

Here, to broaden Weinstein’s perspective, I offer a few excerpts from Chapter Three of The Quantum Solution: What the Ancients Knew About Our POTENTIAL Future.

Here’s an introduction to the little known and less understood middle, e=energy level of the quantum Life Wheel:

e = Energy.

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. When you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” Nikola Tesla

Unfortunately, perhaps intentionally, much ignorance, misinformation and confusion surrounds the energy level of the Quantum Paradigm. Einstein called it “the fateful fear of metaphysics.”

The state of chaos into which the world has degenerated attests to this deficiency, as well as the urgent need to correct it. . . . .

Further elaboration includes:

. . . I should emphasize what I learned from OA, my teacher. The ongoing war between good and evil is like a multi-tiered chess game. There are combatants on the physical level. It’s simultaneously being fought on the astral plane. For example, as a spiritual warrior, he dueled with the non-physical (demonic) handlers behind the Rockefellers.  

While awareness and competence on the physical plane is necessary, it is not sufficient. If you don’t have a multi-level paradigm which recognizes what’s going on at inner levels, you’re operating in the dark. Evil forces are free to roam and operate without detection.  [This exactly answers Weinstein’s complaint, “We are being systematically blinded.”]

If you’re not operating from a complete and correct map, you’re in deep trouble. Because ruling out awareness of the astral plane leaves you helpless. The dynamics are still there. It’s just out of sight. You don’t have any way to protect yourself or those you love because you don’t know what’s going on, where.   

For example, this is hinted at in the Karate Kid movies. Terry Silver’s three laws for cheating to take advantage of opponents who innocently play by the rules are: 1) “If a man can’t stand, he can’t fight. So break his knees. 2) If he can’t see, he can’t fight. So gouge out his eyes. 3) If he can’t breathe, he can’t fight. So break his nose.”     

Globalists expand on Silver’s rules. The equivalent of dirty fighting practiced on the physical plane is also going on at a metaphysical level. Prevent people from seeing (brainwashing and media censorship). Suffocate them (5G and air pollution). Cut the legs out from underneath them (destroy family support, impoverish them, drive them off the land into cities, separated from nature, etc. etc.). Keep the masses in ignorance, disconnected from one another. Prevent communities from cooperating to protect themselves, effectively knowing how to fight back.  

NB: Globalists visible on the world scene are only pawns, being driven from deeper within the darkside realms of the demonic. And their destructiveness is motivated by relentless, unmitigated hatred. This was hinted at in Alien Invaders.

To the extent the shift to the Quantum Paradigm is accomplished, we then have the hope of seeing the globalists for what they are, where they operate, and how to eradicate them for once and all, to ensure the positive future many hope for but few as yet are able to actualize.

Lasting Friendships

For days, the same image kept floating across my mind. It’s Hexagram 20, Awareness, with changing lines in the first two places.

Why?

I don’t know.

For whom?

No particular person.

But just now it came up again.

So, for those of you its meant for, here goes.

Hexagram 20 was the original answer to the question asked the Introduction of my small book. “What does the Common Sense Book of Change have to offer its readers?” It looks like this:

The advice of the bottom changing line reads, “Narrow-minded self-interest is not enlightened. Broaden your view to include others.” It changes to Hexagram 42, Gain, which reads in part:

GAIN

GAINS can be made after analyzing the situation correctly. When a person’s life goals are kept firmly in mind, no time is wasted. A way can be found to use whatever resources are at hand to serve one’s purpose.

The warning of the changing line in the second place reads, “You won’t benefit from using new learning for selfish reasons.” It changes to Hexagram 59, Overcoming, which reads:

OVERCOMING

The harmonizing arts are useful tools for OVERCOMING the forces which block and separate. Inspired music, drama and art express the common light which guides all. Avoid isolation. 

The FINAL OUTCOME of heeding the advice and warnings of the changing lines incorporates them both. The result is Hexagram 61, which looks like this:

What first comes to mind is the memory of exchanging Christmas gifts two years ago. Terry gave me a big mug decorated with images of gifts. Its message was, “Friends make the best presents.”

In return, I gave her a copy of the CSBOC underlined with 61’s message: “Friendships based on wisdom will last.”

We were on the same page.

Though we share little in common (rebuilding classic cars and quilting are her hobbies, not mine), nevertheless, that common thread of good will continues to withstand the test of time.

It’s a gift I wish for all of you as well.

Quantum Solutions

The following is an excerpt from Chapter Five of The Quantum Solution.

Now is the time to make a Fresh Start. We can stop the repeating cycles of destruction, yo-yoing back and forth in duality, in the left-hand, negative mode. We can spin history right, in the positive, creative mode.  

The immigrant invasion is a consequence of extreme imbalance. “Every extreme invites the opposite which restores balance.” Westerners have a long history of invading nations abroad, exporting violence for profit. It has inevitably come home to roost. Karma. 

We have attracted what we are as a mirror to make us aware of our mistakes by experiencing first hand what we’ve done to others. The beneficial response is to shift away from the imperialist paradigm – change from an aggressive, domination and control mind-set, and improve our actions going forward. It’s the only logical way to get better results.  

Americans urgently need to stop the downward spiraling cycle that threatens human survival. We are the descendants and beneficiaries of an invasion, stealing the continent from Native Americans, infecting them with deadly diseases to which they had no immunity. But they themselves were not innocents. Our invasion was a mirror to them. Two sides of a coin, engaged in a repetition of endless cycles of change.   

As Einstein told us, a problem (in this case, immigrant invasion) cannot be solved at the same level at which it originated. Resolution requires shifting gears to a higher octave, seeing things new. Rather than (at least exclusively) combating this invasion at the literal level of symptoms, the positive solution begins with recognizing the deeper cause: operating on an incomplete, false paradigm generating imbalance from the level of energy dynamics.   

How do we slice the pie? See things new? Start with changing our perceptions of who the enemy is and where the real danger lies. It is in the false empirical science either/or paradigm that sets people at each others’ throats, that justifies violence, death and destruction in order to profit from it.   

For starters, a Quantum Solution begins with modifying the idea that massive deportations are a primary solution. For example, let RFK Jr.s idea of rehab communities, rethought and expanded, become a means of assimilating a healthy number of immigrants who have been here longest, allowing them to live with and be socialized by Americans in cooperative, nature-connected communities.  

In any case, it’s imperative to turn the reactive, fear- and anger-driven dynamic around, to outmaneuver far-left democrats and globalists who would exploit this emergency to empower themselves at the expense of the middle class. The Quantum Solution is to change/transform/transmute the danger inherent in immigrant influence which politicians assume they can wield to their benefit. And make sure they can’t!!     

The Quantum Solution is not to take their bait. Don’t be distracted by fear, anger, hatred. Recognize what the left hand is doing — churning chaos to rationalize the imposition of a nefarious militaristic one world order agenda. If we panic, allow ourselves to be suckered into another J6-like “insurrection,” even actual civil war, it gives globalists a pretext for draconian retaliation.   

Instead, recognize that they’re fostering a danger which we can turn into an opportunity. They’ve made it absolutely necessary to overcome fear of the unfamiliar (a shift to the Quantum Paradigm) by dread of something even worse. They’ve made the real solution imperative, obliging Americans (and the world) to shift to this genuinely inclusive paradigm.   

The Quantum Solution to the presence of thousands of illegal immigrants who’ve infiltrated the country is to speak to the basic universal impulse on all sides for a better life. Most immigrants don’t want to be parasites. They certainly don’t want to be puppets. They want dignity. Self-respect. They want to grow, learn, improve and prosper. . . just like everyone else!! 

Outsmart the cartels and politicians who are operating on a destructive paradigm of conflict and exploitation. Because humans will instinctively gravitate towards the inner, timeless truths we all share in common. Find a way to mobilize this to our advantage to defeat the globalists, cartels and self-serving politicians – the real enemies, both here and abroad.   

The Quantum Solution is to make it obvious to illegals where their advantage lies. Make it clear that they have more in common with humane patriots of goodwill than with cynical, exploitative cartels and leftist politicians. Also make it clear to patriots that they have more in common with aspiring immigrants who believe in the American dream than with the current government that’s behind this invasion to begin with!  

The Quantum Solution is to accept immigrants wisely, with the offer to genuinely assimilate them. Empower them by getting them onto the land and into good jobs. This invasion will reshape the population, but in the long run, if we are smart (prudent), not in the way that globalists expect. Use their strategy of invasion against them. If we do this right –wisely and humanely, globalists are done.   

It begins with shifting to the higher level of mercy. Wisdom. Forgiveness and compassion for all concerned. No guilt. No retaliation. No reparations for the sins of our fathers. None of that helps, because time doesn’t go backward. The only choice is to move forwards. Stop repeating the same old mistakes.  

Even if not all of us are prepared to shift overnight to the higher octave, it begins with at least recognizing that there is a higher octave and aspiring to shift there. It begins by following leaders who speak from that level, represent it, lead us towards it by creating policies that offer alternative, positive healing responses towards danger. It starts by becoming aware that that’s where we want to go, who we want to be. That’s our future hope: committing to our potential to get there.  

Conversely, to continue reacting at the level of external symptoms, to go after illegal immigrants and punish them, would be like a dog running in circles, chasing its tail. 

It’s a no win, futile exercise in stupidity. Tragic futility. “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”  

If government leftists are hiding these immigrants, mucking up the etheric atmosphere with fear, anger and resistance – if we fail to recognize the lessons long overdue to be learned, are blind to the opportunity to grow, but instead react emotionally to the situation as a terrible, frightening, life-threatening danger to be combated, then the old either/or conflict paradigm would be magnified and prevail.   

Tucker Carlson is correct that we first have to shine a light on what’s literally going on. See facts without filters for what they are. “You can’t leave a place you’ve never been.”  

BUT THEN, second – look for the option of a better response. Shine the light of quantum intelligence on the facts. See the potentials for positive change. Decide on how we can best turn negative dynamics around, reverse them. Harness energy dynamics to a larger, positive end.  

Democrats have made the fatal mistake of assuming that immigrants will remain perpetually on the dole, obligated to depend upon endless welfare to survive. They assume immigrants will remain helpless and can be manipulated into becoming a dependable voting force they can exploit to keep themselves in power.   

But what if we outsmart the leftists? Offer immigrants something far more valuable than a welfare state? Give them the opportunity to become independent, to pay their way, no longer be dependent on welfare. Instead, respect their intrinsic humanity and potential to be creative and productive. Win their hearts and minds, rather than exploiting them as if they were only sub-human pawns.  

The Quantum Solution is to regard immigrants as souls with the same aspirations as every other soul. The majority of them want to be self-standing, autonomous, self-respecting, contributing members of the collective whole. Most did not come here with the intention of being a curse on the country. The vast majority didn’t come here to destroy it. They came to benefit from it, become an assimilated, integral part of it. Immigrants are not only running away from something, but towards something, in the hope of a better future.  

It’s a mistake to focus exclusively on the threat and react against hapless illegals who’ve been caught up in the wave of history. Most are not fully conscious. Only a handful intentionally mean harm. The majority can go either way, depending on what influences are brought to bear upon them, either positive or negative, leading them either towards hope and gratitude or pushing them into anger, despair — violence. The game’s not over yet. The story’s ending is far from decided.  

The Quantum Solution is to change perceptions of the situation and its potentials. Rather than perceive only threat, look for creative challenges. What can we do, humanely, intelligently? If the way of life that we knew is forever gone, so be it. Water over the dam. Done deal. So choose to focus on what way of life will emerge and how to evolve in a creative, transformative way that results in the nation becoming even better than before.  

The Quantum Solution is to recognize the opportunities hidden within this very real danger. For example, use this situation as an opportunity to mobilize a return to the land, reversing the globalist agenda of pushing Americans off their land, instead cramming citizens and illegals alike into overcrowded cities.  

The Quantum Solution to take the high road. Be creative, positive and life-affirming. Choose that which accomplishes the opposite of the destructive, dehumanizing globalist depopulation agenda. “Resist not evil, but persist in the good” by recognizing the humanness in everyone and speaking to that. Win over illegals who aspire or are on the fence by speaking to their essential humanity. Never allow conflict to accelerate and amplify.   

Yes, it’s a war, but at least we can intelligently define its parameters and choose our weapons. There’s a different way to win this war, not by destroying perceived enemies, but by assimilating them. Raising them up. Winning them over to our side, to join our ranks, become part of our army.  

The Quantum Solution is to be discerning. Be merciful as much as possible, but also, when required, just.  Use the quantum Life Wheel as a diagnostic tool to 1) discern between those whose attitudes are sincere versus those whose intentions are dangerous and should be deported, as well as 2) an educational tool, teaching all sides how to ask, “Where am I Now?” Then, “Where do I want to be?” And, “What action steps will it take to get from here to there?”  

* * * * *  

But the present time has the potential for a Fresh Start across the board. The Quantum Solution is to shift gears, relate to people on all sides of this issue at the level of their hearts and minds, rather than escalating the problem by fighting fire with fire on the physical plane.  

Illegals, whatever their history, are human beings. However deeply asleep (as many of us are), they remain made in the image of God. Education is both the problem and the potential solution.   

Muslims, for example, have been educated to believe that deceiving and conquering infidels (anyone not of their religion) is required of them. Such behavior is not only acceptable. It’s holy.  

On the flip side of the same coin, the elite class of Americans have been educated to believe they are superior and above other nations, having a privileged status which excuses exploiting resources (at home and abroad) to maintain that exclusive superiority. 

Ignorant of the Law of Karma, globalists assume they can get away with murder — even genocide, as if they were exempt from the consequences of their actions. But the law operates the same, whether recognized or not. Payback is already on the way.

It’s false, obsolete beliefs on all sides which education must change. For example, the trade-off for immigrants being respected and humanely assimilated in the U.S. is that they in return demonstrate sincere respect for the innate divinity of citizens in their new land — a recognition of the humanity we all share in common.  

Further, to stop the repeating cycles of invasions once and for all, we need to rethink governance and the professions (science, education, healthcare and law) across the board, upgrading them to align with the holistic Quantum Paradigm.

Inclusive & Timeless

Outer levels of the Quantum Paradigm Life Wheel are ephemeral extensions a timeless, absolute Center. Just as a single snow flake’s structure is universal but its particular form is unique, each human is, paradoxically, the same as all others at the center, while outwardly unique.   

The sacred geometry of wheels-within-wheels corresponds with the three dan tiens (upper, middle and lower energy centers) of Chinese medicine, as well as the chakra system taught in Patanjali’s system of yoga. It looks like this:  

Yoga scriptures correlate the three levels of the wheel with three different states of consciousness. Most of us experience the states of waking, sleep and dreamless sleep separately. However, it is possible to link the entire continuum, simultaneously experiencing wholeness while fully conscious.  

This image corresponds with Patanjali’s yogic states of consciousness: waking, dream, dreamless sleep and turiya, as well as with modern biofeedback brain-wave signatures: the beta, alpha, theta and gamma states of consciousness. As such, it embodies a paradigm upon which sages and scientists can agree. 

 Applications  

The Jewish call to faith (“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy might”) is compatible with the quantum Life Wheel. It’s imaged like this:   

* * * * * 

The quantum Life Wheel is similarly compatible with the essential teachings of the New Testament. A personal favorite of mine is a small book by Sarah Young, Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence. The daily devotions are (to my mind) clearly received, and many can be diagrammed to fit within the levels of the Life Wheel. For example, the reading for May 25 reads, “When you turn from your problems to My Presence (the Center), your load is immediately lighter (pun). Circumstances (the rim of the Wheel) nay not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to ‘fix’ everything gives way to deep, satisfying connection with Me.”  

Another image speaks volumes to the essence of Christianity: 

 

This image sheds light on comments made by Bill O’Reilly during an interview about his book, Killing Jesus.  

He observed, “The Christian savior was able to attract a following and a level of popularity that nobody to date has replicated. He had no infrastructure. He had no government, no PR guy, no money, no structure. He had nothing, yet he became the most famous human being ever.”  

How can this be?  

The level from which Christ broadcasts explains his extraordinary influence both then and NOW. His consciousness originates deep within the Wheel of Life. It radiates from a place beyond time and space in all directions, permeating the entire field of creation, touching everyone everywhere. This explains the literal truth in his promise, that he would be with us always, even to the end of days.   

The Quantum Paradigm suggests how disciples’ reports of Christ’s death and resurrection could be literally true. Accomplished meditation practitioners withdraw attention from the physical body and then return to ordinary consciousness on a daily basis. A true master of the change process controls the in-breathing return to the creative source and out-breathing reemergence into the material plane of physical experience. Proof of this mastery is the demonstrated ability to die to the physical body and then return.   

Yogic literature is replete with stories about masters who chose the time of their physical departure as well as the time, place and circumstances of their next incarnation. In this, Christ’s example is not unheard of.   

It’s motive and effect that make his story unique. His was an act of supreme self-sacrifice and compassion for self-doomed humanity. It bought all of us one last hope of survival — a final opportunity to WAKE UP in time to prevent ultimate extinction — being erased from the cycle of life altogether.   

What’s critically important to remember here is that the example of his sacrifice speaks to everyone, everywhere. Jesus did not perform his apparent miracle to set himself above and apart from humanity. Quite the contrary. He did it to set an example of what’s possible, with the command that each of us should follow in his footsteps. “Ye must be perfect like your father.”   

The Quantum Paradigm is a model of the potentials within each of us which make this command viable. The dynamic, creative process is on-going. The pattern of continuous regeneration is the deepest heritage of every individual. Whether aware of it or not, we continuously, daily, with every breath, release and die to the old in order to regenerate and be reborn to the new.   

Implications for the Future

By extension, Christ’s example of mastering the change process applies not only to individuals but to the civilization as a whole. The world as we know it seems threatened, as if coming to an end. Yet those who hold the key to life, like modern day Noahs, have the opportunity — and responsibility — to ride the tide of the times and begin again, not just for themselves, but for the sake of all life on Earth. They are the ultimate survivors who have it in their power to reseed the next generation, perpetuating the wheel of life.  

The Quantum Paradigm  

My contribution to the archetypal sacred geometry hidden in plain sight throughout nature, art and architecture, is to plug the three variables of Einstein’s famous formula, e = mc2, in to increasingly deeper levels of the Life Wheel, symbolically linked in an infinite figure-eight-shaped loop.   

Description

In this context, paradigm simply means worldview. The Quantum Paradigm offers a positive alternative to the prevailing, dysfunctional paradigms which cause so much harm and misery. It is an inclusive reality map that accords with the way life truly is, showing the full spectrum of human potentials. It explains how the world works, how the individual fits in, and what is required to survive.

For example, the individual fits in to the larger whole as if a tiny slice of an infinite pie, where like minds meet at the Center. The pinnacle of achievement is self-actualization, the antithesis of the globalist goal of world domination. It looks like this:  

Unlike exclusively materialistic, atheistic, hedonist or religionist paradigms, all levels of experience are present, and in balanced, correct relationship to each other. Nothing is missing. Nothing is out of place.  

The Quantum Paradigm wheels-within-wheels model consists of concentric circles around a common center. It places the three variables of Albert Einstein’s famous formula, e = mc2 (energy, mass and light) in a two-directional, infinite continuum.

The levels of concentric circles aren’t literally separate and discrete. Rather, they are a continuum along the infinite spectrum of creation. Within each layer are numerous degrees and distinctions which can be verified only by direct experience. For the sake of the following discussion, however, the three levels are described as if discrete, starting from the center of the Wheel and moving outwards.

This fundamental baseline is the starting point from which all else positive follows. Qualitative change begins from the inside out, and one person at a time. When enough people share a common passion for the same paradigm, changes on increasingly larger scales of magnitude occur.

The layered structure of the quantum Life Wheel gives new meaning to Einstein’s observation that a problem can’t be solved on the same level at which it was created. “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” It gives new meaning to “Go deep,” and “We can’t be satisfied with superficial answers.”

If mankind is to survive, what’s required is a fundamentally new manner of thinking which is substantially, that is to say, qualitatively better.

Einstein’s Variables: Mass, Energy and Light

m = Mass. The outer rim of the circle is the realm of the material, manifested world of creation. This level is the abode of empirical science which measures tangible, material phenomena and objects. It is the plane of duality, the fluctuating ebb and flow of mortal life, the ups and downs of daily experience.

It is the realm into which public school education too often squeezes and flattens children. This is the level of which Einstein said, “The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”

Those focused excessively here are unduly attached to material possessions as well as to money, social status and institutional power. Here appearances are more important than substance. Saving face replaces authentic virtue.

Paradoxically, out of balance, abundance on the material plane seems to foster an insatiable sense of lack. Limited connection with the center breeds insecurities and greed. The infinite variations of the same eternal pattern are misconstrued as grounds for cultural conflict and competition for illusory supremacy.

When people live primarily on the surface, with the middle (primarily “unconscious”) level clogged and in conflict, systems break down. Attempting to fix problems caused by this inner turmoil at the superficial level cannot achieve any lasting, qualitative improvement.

When internal dynamics remained unchanged, apparent re-forms are cosmetic only. Thus political theorists who write books about changing government without understanding human nature and the dynamics of Natural Law codified in the Book of Change (much less the central core which illumines the quantum field) miss the point.

Atheists who deny the existence of the inner levels are materialists in the extreme. Yet, however badly religious teachings have been misunderstood and abused over time, this doesn’t alter their essence — the functional facts of existence, now confirmed by physics as well as by the consistent testimony of sages throughout time.

e = Energy.

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. When you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” Nikola Tesla

Unfortunately, perhaps intentionally, much ignorance, misinformation and confusion surrounds the energy level of the Quantum Paradigm. Einstein called it “the fateful fear of metaphysics.” The state of chaos into which the world has degenerated attests to this deficiency, as well as the urgent need to correct it. Only the basics are described here, suggestive of further exploration.

The middle level is the domain of Natural Law, whose dynamics are mapped in the Chinese I Ching, the Book of Change. This body of knowledge has evolved over eight-thousand years as sages continued to observe the operations of energy and document the repetitive patterns of change.

Natural Law maps the energetic underpinnings of the dynamic, physical world. It is experienced as the patterned recurring cycles of seasonal change, and is equally applicable to humans and their cyclical life changes: birth, growth, decay, death and rebirth.

The middle layer is the realm of less tangible but still measurable states of energy, including electricity. More subtly, it is the chi, ki or prana described by Chinese, Japanese and Indian traditions as the life force which animates all living beings. In Greek and Christian contexts it correlates with the breath, the psyche.

These subtle energies influence internal psychological states and drive external human behavior, which in turn affects social and political relationships. Knowledge of these dynamics is essential to personal survival and related leadership skills.

The e= energy level is the domain of emotional health and maturity or lack thereof. It’s associated with courage and confidence, with vitality and libido. It’s where many repress as the unconscious everything perceived as too fearful, dangerous or forbidden to know. Taboo. (Some conflate this subconscious level with the superconscious, the c=light level: a common but big mistake.)

Be that as it may, in this context, the “subtle” energy realm lies midway between the outer, surface level of matter and the deepest center of unchanging stillness. As the functional link between extremes, both on the out-going and the in-going paths, it serves as the unavoidable gatekeeper and bridge, the mediator between the two. “You can’t get from here to there,” except through this middle level of experience.

Historically, Asian cultures are more comfortable with this middle level. Asian healing arts including chi kung, tai chi and hatha yoga exercises used to intentionally circulate, balance, harness and direct subtle energies throughout the physical body. Westerners are beginning to catch up. As international business and educational exchanges increase, Western technologies and Eastern subtle sciences are cross-fertilizing.

Musicians, especially ones educated in the Eastern and Western sciences of sound vibration, are keenly attuned to this level. Inspired, harmonious music can heal the physical body and uplift the soul.

In part, the astral level is the place of astrology (versus astronomy). It explains why we react on an unconscious level to vibrational influences upon the collective conscious without being aware of what’s going on.

It’s the repository of short and long-term memories. The composite of emotions — fears, desires and repressed tendencies — are stored here in what Western psychologies call the “unconscious.” It is the stuff of dreams — inspired visions, nightmares and everything in-between.

It’s also stores what’s called the akashic records of all that’s ever transpired. Those who query in a meditative state can access this vast library for answers to their questions.

We use the I Ching as well as tarot cards and oracle decks as methods for making the unconscious conscious, restoring subliminal knowing to conscious awareness.

Within the vast realm of the e=equals energy, non-physical unhappy departed souls and demonic entities realm. It’s where personal karma and pastlife memories are stored. It’s the stuff of the bardo, where departed souls go when they leave the body on their way to the light.

When cluttered and undisciplined, the middle energy level is like a swamp full of alligators. Once the swamp is cleared out and the alligators are tamed, however, energetic potentials can be harnessed to worthy goals. They’re like the gas that fuels the car engine, or the horses harnessed to Plato’s chariot. They become the generator of what Tony Robbins calls “unlimited power.”

But easier said than done. The Quantum Paradigm model validates experiences which report a dark side to the subtle realm, the “chapel perilous” which the life traveler must be prepared to encounter and survive. There’s much truth to the classic lines from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The beleaguered prince, haunted by the horrific vision of his murdered father’s ghost, tells his steadfast friend, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

But shutting down consciousness connection with this level is far from an optimal option. Inhibiting awareness of the energy level cripples efforts to acquire self-knowledge, much less enlightenment.

Religionists, moralists and even poets like Edgar Alan Poe warned against exploring the middle realm, portraying it as dangerous, fearful or unclean. But this, in effect, slams the lid on libido, the motivating life force. Doing so doesn’t avoid its dangers. It just banishes this level from conscious awareness. This part of inner experience then festers, rendered inaccessible, relegated to “unconscious” status.

Tragically, the belief-result connection holds true even when ideas and related attitudes aren’t consciously held. When they’re hidden away in the unconscious mind, they generate unintended, unforeseen consequences. Projecting a positive image to the world may succeed in fooling others for a short time, but there’s no diet plan, exercise routine or image make-over that can hide the stress or reverse the physical damage caused by internal conflict. So long as the levels of one’s inner organization remain hollowed out and/or out of alignment, the results will reflect this imbalance.

The kicker is that you can’t change what’s been relegated to the unconscious and become inaccessible to the conscious mind. “You can’t leave a place you’ve never been.” This is why increasing self-awareness is a survival top-priority. Positive change depends upon first being able to recognize the beliefs, attitudes and resultant emotions that generate situations which require change.

If one denies or rebels against the existence of the innermost creative life source, every outward level of experience is starved. Being cut off from inspiration and guidance, one’s ideas are limited and distorted. Attitudes suffer and destructive emotions take over.

Enforcing taboos on access to awareness of the energy level backfires, resulting in mental illness, socially aberrant behavior, addictions and personal tragedy. Carl Jung’s observation, quoted in relation to irrational prejudice, bears repeating here:

Our time has committed a fatal error; we believe we can criticize the facts of religion intellectually. . . The gods have become diseases; Zeus no longer rules Olympus but rather the solar plexus, and produces curious specimens for the doctor’s consulting room, or disorders the brains of politicians and journalists who unwittingly let loose psychic epidemics on the world.

The facts of religion Jung referred to include not only the existence of a supreme being residing at the center of and permeating the whole of creation, but also the middle energy level — including the dangers of satanic potentials — as an integral part of that whole.

Chinese sages, who trod lightly but surely in that middle realm, used the I Ching as their instruction manual. Jung understood the potential good that could come from introducing this wisdom tradition to the Western world, where it could be used as an instrument for making the unconscious again conscious, restoring intelligent competence at this level.

Effective leadership and the quality of life within organizations hinge on the quality of awareness brought to dynamics at this level. Some leaders understand the dynamics of change at a gut level as a matter of common sense. However, systematic logic and conscious awareness of their operations significantly improves the results of the decision-making process.

Those denied access to material and social resources are often forced inside. Of necessity, turning inward, they develop and depend for survival upon strengths like courage, patience and wisdom drawn from the middle and center levels of the Life Wheel.

Thus, at times, material deprivation and hardships yield the opposite and equal blessings of in-sight and emotional fortitude. At other times, however, excessive investment at the middle level results in delusions, latent with the potential for erupting into violence.

In any case, making a virtue of necessity by withdrawing from and rejecting the material world prevents completion of the pattern. It can’t correctly be equated with spirituality.

Cultures which enforce an exclusively materialistic worldview and deny the experience of everything not tangible and measurable place severe hardships on those whose inner lives are especially active. Working with the quantum Life Wheel offers opportunities to diagnose such imbalances, the better to remedy them.

Societies that deny their citizens practical outlets for articulating and harnessing inner energies creatively can literally drive people crazy, to suicide, or at best, underground. Many “sensitives” survive by channeling socially banned, unacceptable awareness and longing for self-fulfilling adventure into the arts: music, literature and film making, including romance, murder mysteries and science fiction. This is a great loss to society. The world would be better off if high-energy, creative individuals were identified as potential leaders, trained and given employment options accordingly.

c = Light. This is the pure level of quantum intelligence, the location of genius, guidance and inspiration.

C=Light is the pristine quantum field of information, the Matrix, Universal Mind from which inspiration arises, from which angelic guidance comes. With connection to the quantum field there arises the ability to redesign your life intentionally. It is the location of Con-science.

The hub of the wheel, the SOURCE of Light, is the eternal, innermost state of being. It is silent yet fertile, that from which all forms emanate and to which all return. It is the alpha and omega, the ultimate and exclusive source of infinite light and power.

Merging with this all-encompassing source of consciousness is what scriptures refer to, quite literally, as “enlightenment.” It is the “secret place of the Most High,” home of God the Father in Heaven honored in the New and Old Testaments. It correlates with the Hindu Brahman, the Chinese Tao, the Muslim Allah, and the Native American Great Spirit. In Star Wars, Jedi knights refer to the Force. Contemporary pastors sometimes defer to “the Boss.”

The deepest center is the original seed of life from which creative solutions and new beginnings emerge in answer to the prayers and sincere efforts of those who hear and do. It’s the unfailing source deeper than ephemeral fears which gives positive survivors the inner strength to withstand the sudden shocks and catastrophic changes of Titanic times.

It is to this quiet center of refuge that sages retreat in meditation to patiently outwait misfortune, the better to return renewed when the time is right. It is the healing place to which they turn when life becomes too difficult to endure without solace. It is the escape, far better than drugs, alcohol, sex or even music, that makes life’s challenges bearable and worthwhile.

The physical realm emanates from this still, quiet non-dual level, deeper than the e=energy cyclical laws of duality, which are extensions of Source. It is from this innermost level that the ancients operated when in foreseeing the cycles of history. They observed from a timeless point of view, as if through the eyes of Creator Source at the center of the life wheel, seeing the energetic potentials of the future and what their possible manifestations might be.

The core center is labeled Source. The still Zero Point of Source, which is the eternal NOW. With spokes radiating out in all directions. 360 degrees in a circle, in 3 or more dimensions, radiating out. True power is in the NOW, in the organizing, creative center of the Life Wheel.

In Life Wheel context, the presumption of any nation (for example ancient China, or later the Ottoman Empire), to be the “center of the world” are seen, in larger context, to be equally impossible and tragically mistaken.

From the true Center, from the observer point of view, natural cycles of time can be observed, understood, and to some degree, with conscious intention, be harnessed and directed to achieve intentional goals.

Unlike the levels of mass and energy, which can be described at length from experience, the levels of light and Source are by definition best honored by silence. Or at least as few words as possible.

Dysfunctional Paradigms

Here’s an important section from the Quantum Paradigm Handbook.

Common wisdom has it that “You can’t leave a place you’ve never been.” Positive change requires an awareness of where you are now, where you’d like to be, and how to get from here to there.

It starts by being aware of your current beliefs and recognizing that they’ve created the place you’d like to leave. It takes the courage to admit that a currently held paradigm, no matter how familiar and fiercely held, is part of the problem. Creating a happy, fulfilling life begins with shifting to a complete and correct Quantum Paradigm.

Distortions of the quantum Life Wheel generate attitudes that are similarly bent out of shape. These eventually manifest as violence, both internal or external. Like cancers at a cellular level, the results of life turned against itself take many forms. Conflict and stress-related illnesses takes their toll on every scale of magnitude from smallest, the individual, to largest — the entire planet.

Illustrations included here picture the major paradigm malfunctions that continue to cause great misery and horrific violence in the world.

Illusions of Separateness, Exclusiveness and Isolation

In the unified worldview pictured by the quantum Life Wheel, all the levels of experience are interwoven and interconnected. Time is an illusion. All of history is in fact going on at once. (See the Prado Painting section of The Quantum Solution for more detail.)

In this paradigm, everyone everywhere is connected by the invisible strands of energy and time. Living fully aware of the center while remaining present on the surface, linking the levels of the Wheel in a two-way, infinitely continuous loop is the height of attainment. In this reality, separateness isn’t possible. Isolation is only an illusion. Exclusiveness is a mirage.

A common ego-distortion of the Wheel is to carve out a pie-slice in time and place from the whole and identify with it to the exclusion of everything and everyone else.

PARADOX: The Illusion of Separateness

Illusion of separateness

Exclusiveness and Isolation

This ego mistake has many variations. One is to identify with a particular level of the Wheel to the exclusion and detriment of the others. For example, many identify exclusively with the surface. This results in the picture of the exclusively materialistic empirical science world view.

MaterialistAthest

It is also common for those who share a particular distortion to disrespect those who are focused exclusively on other levels or different sectors of the Life Wheel. Compounding this, they begin to think their particular viewpoint is exclusively right, and all others exclusively wrong. The next step is to attach the label “good” to what they like, and “bad” to whatever is unfamiliar.

Another distortion is to identify primarily with the middle level of energy and emotions. Nature worshipers and pagans distort or invert the levels, sometimes placing nature above its Source, even replacing it. Hedonists (adventure and pleasure seekers) also live here.

Still others identify primarily with the inner levels of the Wheel. In the extreme, philosophers and religionists focus here. Making a value of necessity, they sometimes reject the world as an evil influence and suppress natural urges. This backfires, leading to hidden sexual abuse and other malfunctions.

Religionist

Yet another distortion is to fragment the levels of the Wheel. Different levels are experienced at alternative times, each part disassociated from the others. The result is the chaotic picture of a schizophrenic personality and/or lifestyle. In the extreme, the center floats alone, outside the rest. This explains how fractured individuals who seem like model citizens and pictures of propriety on the surface can live hidden lives of depravity and commit crimes of unspeakable cruelty.

Stress

Each distortion has negative consequences for mental health. This in turn affects relationships within and between families, and then relationships within and between every larger form of social, political, religious, educational and business organization.

Egoists — narcissists in the extreme — subscribe to the illusion that they’re separate and that they must compete against each other to rise to the top two-dimensional pyramids. They compete for control over presumably scare resources, both material and intangible. This includes money, possessions, political power, popularity — even love. “Me-first-and-foremost” believers feel justified in doing whatever it takes to get “ahead” — at the expense of everyone else.

Egoists behave as if getting what they want is the end-all and be-all of existence. They act with little regard for the future, oblivious to the concept of karma. Like Dorian Gray, they believe they can hide from the consequences of their actions and that there is no higher justice. But in this, they are sadly mistaken. Whether foreseen or not, the results of past actions inevitably return. For the unprepared, it is the hardest but surest way to learn life’s lessons.

Egoists are not in-dependent, for they see themselves as lacking inner resources. They are independent in the backwards sense of trusting and depending on no one and nothing but themselves. This is not only terribly lonely. It invites rationalizations, making it acceptable to exploit others and distance themselves from the pain, suffering and hardships caused by their selfishness.

Duality – Dividing the World into Opposites

In the positive worldview, light, peace, and higher love at the center are balanced at the middle level by the fluctuations of nature: day and night, light and dark, hard and soft, hot and cold, wet and dry, pleasure and pain. The elements of nature combine and recombine, proliferating to create diversity on the surface of the quantum Life Wheel, including the manifold species of plants, animals, birds, fish — and races of mankind.

The Complete, Natural Paradigm

Completion

However, in recent times, it has become the usual practice to separate the complimentary sides and alternating seasons of nature, pitting them against each other. Integral pairs of light and dark, day and night, white and black, positive and negative, male and female are opposed as if they were warring antitheticals.

Life, success and pleasure are chased after. Their opposites — death, failure and pain — are shunned with fear and aversion. In the extreme, even the compass directions of right and left are associated with political extremes. This produces a world of conflict within and wars without.

Exclusively “Good” – Yang without Yin

Duality Positive

Exclusively “Bad” – Yin without Yang

Duality negative

To make matters even worse, moral judgments of “good and bad” or “right and wrong” are arbitrarily assigned to opposite sides of the same coin. Instead of being equally natural parts of a single, unified pattern, light, day, white, positive and male are elevated to superior status. Dark, night, black, negative and female are subordinated to inferior status. The language of poetry, when misconstrued and taken literally, becomes perverted into sexist and racist bigotry, with wide ranging, divisive results.

Love

It is said that “Love makes the world go round.” Higher, unconditional love resides at the Wheel’s center. But much that is done in the name of this all-powerful influence is paltry parody. The natural impulse to extend outwards towards others takes many forms, positive and negative, as it manifests throughout the layers and sectors of the life Wheel. Some are creative, others destructive.

In creating your own personal Wheel, it is important to think about your own experiences, past and present, and what you would like to change for the better.

The Best Leaders Are Self-Aware

PPH Increase Self-Awareness

Albert Einstein, who had the Unified Field Theory of his heart’s desire but didn’t know it, was a world leader in science as well as humanitarian thought. What he lacked was yoga training and a direct experience of the wheels-within-wheels levels of the Positive Paradigm. The product of a repressive, European culture, he was congested at the middle level of emotions, an affliction that manifested in the form of a miserable family life. Despite early flashes of genius, he was unable to produce consistently brilliant work.

Notable leaders of modern times each have unique Life Wheel patterns that explain both their strengths and weaknesses.

Make the Choice

The paradigm choice and its consequences are summarized as follows:

  • Dysfunctional paradigms tie us in knots. They tear us apart. They drive us crazy. They push us to murder and even suicide. It’s imperative to identify them and root them out.
  • To survive intact, we must cleave to the essence of the perennial philosophy. The Quantum Paradigm of Change is a snapshot of the essential truth which the world’s great religions share in common. It offers us a way out of global madness. It gives us a means for restoring sanity to our world outlook.
  • It is a question of which worldview will prevail. Everyone must choose. (Failing to choose consciously is also a choice.) Do we cling to dysfunctional paradigms that have brought us to the brink of Titanic disaster? Or do we opt for Einstein’s new way of thinking? Do we choose to be, or not to be? To survive or to perish from the face of the earth, that is the question.
  • In Quantum Paradigm context, peace necessarily begins one individual at a time, and is accomplished from the inside out. So long as dysfunctional paradigms put individuals at war within themselves, general ignorance will continue to escalate into worldwide conflict.
  • Paradigm choices have consequences for long-term survival. The Western linear progressive theory of history puts leaders operating on dysfunctional paradigms at a loss to foresee cyclical down-turns or prepare for them in time.

Hidden in Plain Sight 


The following is an excerpt from Chapter 3 of The Quantum Solution: What the Ancient’s Knew About Our POTENTIAL Future.

The Quantum Paradigm imaged in the archetypal, universal Life Wheel has its origins in yoga philosophy, but is equally compatible with modern physics.

The sacred geometry of wheels-within-wheels repeats throughout nature, smallest to largest, from snowflakes and seashells to flowers, from microscopic cells to macrocosmic solar systems.

It appears spontaneously in the sacred art and architecture of all civilizations throughout history, from shamanic medicine wheels to Tibetan sand mandalas and the stained-glass windows adorning mediaeval churches.  

The quantum Life Wheel mirrors the microcosmic structure of atoms as well as the macrocosmic structure of planetary systems. At a microscopic level, its concentric rings mirror the structure of atoms with a nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons and protons. It likewise mirrors the symmetry of our solar system with planets orbiting around the sun.

On the largest scale of magnitude, it reflects the in- and out-breaths of perpetually expanding and contracting universes.  

It speaks to universal awareness of an intrinsic inner structure common to all humanity, deeper than transitory lives or cultures. Each human, made “in the image of Creator-Source-All That IS, is innately divine at the center, and potentially whole, existing in the mid-range of creation, and when fully awake, in resonance with all of nature.    

Description, Einstein’s variables, explanation, applications, distortions and implications, will follow.

A Call to Positive Action

Malcolm Gladwell, author of David and Goliath, also wrote The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. In the language of Einstein’s atomic physics, the tipping point is called critical mass. In the world of ideas, it’s the trigger point of a paradigm shift. Gladwell describes it as magic:

The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. . . A precisely targeted push can cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate.

His book identifies the catalysts which precipitate a tipping point. Psychological studies are analyzed to name the key elements of social change. At the right time, a handful of people with the right idea and the right messaging can make huge waves.

With three key ingredients in place, what seems to happen spontaneously, almost mysteriously, can be deliberately replicated.

That’s where you, the reader, come in. Three special kinds of people are necessary to precipitate a paradigm shift. Gladwell profiles the personality types whose combined effort makes the difference. He calls them mavens, salesmen, and connectors.

Mavens are the experts who know their subject in-depth and in great detail. They delight in sharing their knowledge to help others. They have no agenda other than to be of service, so people trust their information. In this case, the information being shared is the perennial philosophy embodied in the Quantum Paradigm. It radiates from the center of the quantum Life Wheel.

Salesmen have a knack for tapping into what the public wants. They’re keenly perceptive about human nature and are therefore persuasive in getting others to buy what they have for sale. Salesmen are in touch with the e=energy middle level of the quantum Life Wheel. They connect with human motivations to energize basic hopes (namely, for survival) and fears (of extinction).

Connectors take joy in building extended networks of acquaintances. They’re the matchmakers who introduce friends to other friends. They’re the doers who spin the Life Wheel round at the m=mass surface of the rim. In this case, they have the potential to spread the Quantum Paradigm message worldwide to everyone with the common sense to hear.

Put these three special kinds of people together and there’s magic in the making. The levels of creation can be linked and unified. A powerful idea presented persuasively to the public and carried around the globe by word-of-mouth can travel faster than a speeding bullet.

Rethinking Survival, as well as its next generation, The Quantum Solution, is the work of a maven. I’ve spent a lifetime refining these ideas. I’ve worked diligently to express them in a simple, clear and hopefully entertaining way. I take delight in the possible good that could come from sharing them.

But, true to life, there’s always a down side. The lifestyle optimal for writing such a book disqualifies me from wearing the hats of either a connector or a salesman. My strength in one context is a weakness in another. I’m a deeply private person.

Knowing my limitations, I’m calling on the strengths of my readers to balance out my weak spots. I’m not independently wealthy. I have no support network of family, friends, agents and publicists. I need you to ACT as salesmen and connectors on behalf of the Quantum Paradigm.

Together, we can work miracles.

Here’s the tipping point idea from Lao Tze’s perspective:

Passage 78

Nothing under heaven is as soft, receptive or pliant as water; but when massed, nothing withstands its tidal wave impact. As water penetrates and dissolves the hard, erodes and absorbs the rigid, those who yield and encompass their foes prevail long after evil doers have disappeared.

Like water, the sage absorbs the world’s suffering, endures its hardships, and responsive to the times, becomes the catalyst of collective action. So it is that the low and high trade places, and the forceful lose their influence; this is known by many, but practiced by few.

This passage applies to promoting the Quantum Paradigm idea in the following way. A solitary writer is like a single drop of water in the ocean. But an idea whose time has come, when spread by word-of-mouth and owned by the masses, can take on the force of a social tsunami.

I have no political clout or social standing. But I’ve allowed nothing to discourage me in my determination to be a catalyst of collective positive action. I’ve experienced my share of hardships. I identify with the world’s suffering. So I trust that, having done my best, it will be enough.

As the next generation of Rethinking Survival, The Quantum Solution will survive by surfing the tidal waves of Titanic times. Because there is a mighty zeitgeist stirring the air. Its force is obliging everyone on the planet to make critical choices. Its power is driving us to take action.

It’s a question of which worldview will prevail. Everyone must choose. (Failing to choose consciously is also a choice.)

Do we cling to dysfunctional paradigms that have brought us to the brink of Titanic disaster? Or do we opt for Einstein’s new way of thinking?

Do we choose to be, or not to be? To survive or perish from the face of the earth, that is the question.

If you’re ready and willing to tip the balance in favor of human survival, BE PART OF THE SOLUTION. SPREAD THE WORD.

Urge everyone you know who stands to benefit from Rethinking Survival to read it and then act on it. Do so with passionate conviction. Now! Fill the all-important roles of salesmen and connectors.

If you know any of the current authors I’ve quoted, tell them — as well as their families, friends and co-workers — that they’re mentioned here.

Most especially, contact Tony Robbins along with all of his fans and friends. If you know people involved social change movements, tell them The Quantum Solution is a MUST!

If you think the leaders you know could do much better, urge them to read The Quantum Solution and act on it. Tell them it’s a matter of survival, theirs as well as yours.

If you agree with bloggers who complain that government policies are pushing Americans to a tipping point, let’s turn looming catastrophe into a blessing in disguise. Find positive ways to use danger as the catalyst of a Quantum Paradigm shift.

If you know anyone troubled by thoughts of death, dying or suicide, give them a copy. The same goes for anyone with a history of abuse, victims and predators alike.

Let your creative artist and musicians friends know this is a book for them. Tell your yoga friends they’ll want to read it.

If your friends loved Joseph Campbell’s work on comparative religions, let them know The Quantum Solution completes what he started. If you know any Einstein fans, ditto.

If you adored John F. Kennedy and welcome the hope of seeing his world vision fulfilled, pass the book along for his sake.

Tell your survivalist friends and acquaintances to read The Quantum Solution; it will give them a new way to think about survival.

Tell all the school teachers in your circle to teach the Quantum Paradigm in the classroom. Inform every librarian you know that this book belongs in their collection.

Use your imagination. Who else needs to read The Quantum Solution? Include them!

Join in Operation Rescue. Be a founding member of the Fresh Start Movement.

Send emails. Give copies. Talk to friends at work, at school, and over meals. Call radio hosts. Contact book reviewers, or write a review yourself. Act as an advocate.

Be part of the push which tips the balance. Put your weight however you can behind the Quantum Paradigm shift. No matter how small the effort, every little bit helps.

May the Force be with you

now and into the future.

Alien Invaders

This is another section lifted from the 2014 Rethinking Survival.

Again, it remains timely today.

In the 1980s, when the Affirmative Action legislation was a subject of hot debate, one commentator made an astute observation. If foreign enemies had wanted to undermine the United States, they would have designed exactly this legislation.

Valid goals — the window dressing — were buried in burdensome regulations and punitive economic sanctions. Rather than bringing people together, it was alienating, causing an opposite and equal backlash.

Alien invaders infiltrating Planet Earth, weakening humans to eventually take over and enslave them, is a familiar theme in science fiction. For example, in his various incarnations, Dr. Who — television’s two-hearted time traveler — continuously detects nefarious alien plots and rescues heedless humans from annihilation.

Current events indicate there’s considerable truth cloaked in that science “fiction.”

Starting with the premise that hidden alien enemies are covertly scheming to undermine humanity, ask, “How would they set about to destroy us?” Logically, they’d create chaos, setting everyone at each others’ throats. They’d trick humans into mutual self-destruction by stirring up dissension and fragmenting their governments.

Now, the Old Testament and yogic scriptures both maintain that we’re made in the image of God. Each individual mind is a complete miniature of the Universal Mind. When open, receptive, and aligned, everyone everywhere mirrors the wisdom and potential power of the Creator.

Therefore, it’s an absolute priority for evil aliens to attack the mind. Their agents will do whatever it takes to pollute your mind. They confuse it with false paradigms. They clutter and distract it with the ongoing media circus. Every doubt planted in your mind, causing you to forget who you are, to disbelieve in your ultimate origins and creative potentials, is a victory for the dark side.

To totally undermine humanity, atheism is a must. The unifying beliefs which hold families and nations together and fortify them in times of adversity must be destroyed at all costs. Again, how would this be accomplished?

For one thing, language which makes communication and community-building possible would have to be polluted beyond repair. This ongoing process is described as the Tower of Babel factor.

In the English language, for example, every value word has devolved to mean both one thing and its opposite. So people often talk at cross purposes, unaware that they’re missing each other coming and going.

Timothy Daugherty nails this tactic from the radical adversarial-political play book. They have nothing of substance to offer and unacceptably destructive intentions to hide. So the political left uses language “not to communicate ideas, but to create a kind of rhetorical fog that obscures real issues.”

Alien agents are masters of double-speak, the child of deception and second-cousin of spin.

A good example is given by Wayne Allyn Root, who writes about the lessons learned together with Obama at Columbia on “How to Destroy America from Within:”

The plan taught us to hide your true intentions (in other words — lie, misrepresent, commit fraud) . . . A key component of the plan involved fooling the voters by calling yourself “moderate” and a “uniter,” even though you are a radical Marxist. We were taught to never admit what you really believe in. It involved demonizing your opponents, calling them “evil, greedy, extreme, radical, and terrorist.” Look in the mirror and call your opponents the very things you are.

He continues:

Why the lies? We were taught at Columbia that “It’s for the greater good” and “We know what’s best for those people” and ”The ends justify the means.”

Next, by every means available, alien agents would strive to pollute the idea pool. Make access to the law impossible and simple truth seem complicated. Because ideas have consequences, introduce false beliefs with predictably disastrous results.

Then evil aliens would systematically destroy trust, the cement of human relationships, at every level of organization. How? Make deceit the political norm. Convince people that no one’s motives can be trusted. Demonstrate that no one’s words can be believed. Make it “common knowledge” that no one’s actions, however apparently innocent and well-intentioned, can be taken at face value.

Diversions would be a must. Rile the public with non-issues to distract them from very real dangers. Using lame-stream media shills, manipulate the masses with the weapons of psychological warfare. Insult them with the lie that they’re not okay. Sell them on the belief that they’re helpless “victims” of oppressors who must depend on tough guys to rescue them (and pay the heavy price of obligation at the voting polls).

Agents of invading aliens would rationalize their lies, sanitizing them as public relations and expedient strategy. It would seem that Edward Bernays, Woodrow Wilson’s advisor and model for Nazi propagandists — the so-called “father of spin” — was a foremost henchman of the invading aliens.

If so, Saul Alinsky was their number one point man. The cockroach (opps, coach) of community organizers, most notably Barack Hussein Obama, but Hillary Clinton too, was a self-proclaimed radical.

[From a 2024 perspective, this admittedly demonic influence, after respite during Trump’s presidency, has driven Biden’s administration from the background– with all the devastation intentionally attached thereto.]

In a twist of our poor abused language, Christ was rightly regarded as “radical” in his day. He would be today as well (in the original meaning) were he to walk among us now. Compatible with the Quantum Paradigm worldview, “radical” meant “going to the foundation or source of something; fundamental.”

That’s a far cry from Alinsky’s extremist meaning of “radical.” He was intentionally the antithesis of Christ. In the front page of his book Rules for Radicals, Alinksy quotes patriot Thomas Paine (modestly) side- by-side with . . . himself. First, Paine:

Let them call me a rebel and then welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul . . .

Then Alinsky:

Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to . . . the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.

Associating himself with Paine, the champion of common sense, was a misleading pose. By his own admission, Alinsky was not a patriot. He was in league with the dark side that masquerades as light. He didn’t just make a whore of his soul. He apparently sold it outright, not for a kingdom, but for paltry influence.

It seems as if Alinsky’s particular Faustian pact involved not only selling his own soul, but also seducing gullible followers over to the dark side. It wasn’t enough for him to “suffer the misery of devils” alone. He was intent on bringing as many as possible down to join him in that suffering.

The seductiveness of Alinsky’s virile double-speak is extraordinary. He was well aware of the risks involved in using emotionally charged language. He defined “power”in a chapter called “A Word about Words.” He denied abusing language. But his awareness of language issues didn’t stop him from doing it.

His logic is so twisted that a critique would have to move line-by-line to unravel his spiderweb of tangled assumptions. The attempt would be like wading in quicksand. A Jesuit-trained logician would be hard-pressed to come out clean. Yet Rules for Radicals is sometimes made required reading for impressionable teenagers.

In contrast to Alinsky’s take on power, here’s part of Essay 57 on Power from The Ultimate Personal Survival Guide:

According to Taoist thinking, laws of nature explain why power over time reverts to the people. While drops of water are insignificant, they add up. The momentum driving a tidal wave is formidable. Divided by fear, ignorance, and narrow materialistic beliefs, individuals remain insignificant.

But unified by common purpose, people become powerful indeed. Leaders, whether a Stalin or a Mandela, ride the waves of time like energy surfers, directing their followers towards either slaughter or freedom.

Great temporal power of itself implies no value. Its effect, whether positive or negative, depends on the context within which it’s used, either consciously or unconsciously, skillfully or incompetently, for good or evil. The results of a warrior’s prowess, military arsenal and self-control depend on how, when, where and why they’re applied.

For example, in the last century Germany produced both a Hitler and an Einstein. Hitler was obsessed with the occult. He wanted to harness unseen forces to further his goal of world domination.

Einstein, on the other hand, searched for the subtle laws of physics. He hoped to discover a Unified Theory which perfectly describes how the Universe works. Had he prevailed, he would have re-invented the I Ching.

In contrast, Alinsky, with no logic or explanation whatsoever, dismissively rejects the idea of natural, organic evolution:

The significant changes in history have been made by revolutions. There are people who say that it is not revolution, but evolution that brings about change — but evolution is simply the term used by nonparticipants to denote a particular sequence of revolutions as they are synthesized into a specific major social change. . .

Here’s how Alinsky uses the “power” word:

The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away. . . . In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people. . . We are talking about a mass power organization which will change the world . .[emphasis added.]

Note the use of the “royal we.” This is a megalomaniac talking. He wants to change the entire world. His attitude is towards power holders is openly aggressive. He doesn’t just want to take what they hold. He wants to seize it. To violently “change the world” by means of a “mass power organization” makes no positive sense. Further, history tells us that repeatedly, when power is seized from one set of Haves, it merely passes to another set of worse ones. Never, ever has it been “given” to “the people.”

The pretext of creating a mass power organization for the purpose of seizing power in order to give it to “the people” is highly suspect. Unholy radicals mobilize “the people” as pawns to their own ends, hypocritically masking self-serving motives with phony idealism. Has the current jet-setting, golf-playing community-organizer-in-chief, for example, empowered anyone other than himself and his cronies? People be wary!

In the first chapter, Alinsky stated his exact purpose, namely to coach those who “want to change the world” from what it is “to what they believe it should be.” In I Ching context, this assumption-packed premise is an extraordinary feat of tragedy-fraught hubris.

First off, what blind, ant-like mortal would dare to think that he can comprehend what, in its entirety, the world — the elephant — really is? What human could possibly be so foolish as to think she is qualified — on the basis of one puny view — to judge what it should be? Alinksy’s rules extended an invitation for blind mortals to jump in feet first where good angels know far better than to tread.

Second, who really understands change? Many bandy the word about. But it’s a profound science of which few have in-depth knowledge. Confucius dedicated a lifetime to understanding the dynamics of natural law encoded in the perennial Book of Change.

Never in his wildest nightmares could he have anticipated anyone daring to force the world to conform to personal preferences.

So, for starters, the “belief” that anyone can change the world from what he assumes it is to what he assumes it should be is unspeakably misguided. Building on this false premise, Alinsky then fueled the undermining alien arsenal with a full battery of destructive tactics. In essence, political radicals should feel “free” to violate the ten commandments. The ends (getting what you want) justify any means.

His version of social change is engineered by stirring up conflict. Use fabricated information to bear false witness against inconvenient neighbors. (Herman Cain’s character assassination is one of countless examples.) Alinsky advocates scapegoating, not unlike the dynamic which propelled Nazis to power. Create the illusion of an outside enemy as the way to unify your base. (How is that for the ultimate double-speak? Conflict is the opposite of unity.)

Divide and conquer. Pit each group against the others. I can almost see alien puppeteers behind the scenes clapping their hands in glee over Alinsky’s contribution to escalating worldwide conflict. It matters not to them which side wins. Let Sharia law advocates, members of Putin’s Eurasian Union and American exceptionalists squander their precious resources duking it out. If they destroy each other and no one’s left, so much the better.

What seems comical in the context of ant and elephant fables isn’t so funny when played out in human history. It’s bad enough when local gurus play God or men like Frank Lloyd Wright turn to lenient pagan gods.

It becomes horrific for humanity (members of every class alike) is when leaders like Mao, Lenin and Stalin slaughter untold numbers of civilians. They destroyed prevailing religions only to turning the state into a god. They ransacked houses of worship to fill their own coffers.

Alien invaders delight in cheating.

They stack the deck, gumming up the works with false information

driven by dysfunctional paradigms.

IF you accept the game and its rules as alien agents define them and proceed to rebel against uncivil authorities, mindlessly hating and resisting, YOU LOSE. (Alien invaders win.)

IF you give all your attention to what other guys are doing wrong, playing the role of contrarian, YOU LOSE. (Alien invaders win.)

IF you quit on humanity and live only for yourself, leading a life of self-centered indulgence, YOU LOSE. (Alien invaders win.)

IF you persist in thinking narrowly in terms of personal game, political interests and institutions, not human survival, YOU LOSE. (Alien invaders win big time.)

The only chance of winning — ultimately, surviving — is to demand a new, clean, unmarked deck, one with all the cards.

In other words, make a fresh start based on an accurate, complete Quantum Paradigm.

It’s Time for a Fresh Start

Here’s a section — full of food for thought — lifted from the 2014 Rethinking Survival. Ten years later, the same hold true.

In a less wordy way, updated to reflect the times, the concept of a fresh start repeats in as concluding chapter of the 2024 The Quantum Solution.

We’re in a Terrible Mess

During high school years, I shared the following lines written for Miss Elson’s senior year English class with my younger brother, David.

Somewhere, Somehow,

Something Is terribly wrong.

Where to look? What to fight?”

Marginally impressed, he predicted that I’d end up like the closet poet Emily Dickinson.

Echoing the sentiment that the country is in deep trouble, in Common Sense, Glenn Beck details the mess we’re in:

America has been slowly pulled off the course charted for us in Philadelphia more than two centuries ago. Through legitimate “emergencies” involving war, terror, and economic crises, politicians on both sides have gathered illegitimate new powers — playing on our fears and desire for security and economic stability — at the expense of our freedoms . . .

Making the same point I made much earlier, Beck holds:

I humbly suggest that our government is once again out of step with the Laws of Nature. The government by, of, and for the people has been turned on its head. It is now a government by the government, of the government, and for the government, the people be damned. [emphasis added.]

Beck gets the basic Law of Karma: Actions have consequences. However he lacks an in-depth understanding of the dynamic laws of nature. And he needs a functional paradigm to put us (not just the U.S.) right-side up again. He challenges Americans to stretch outside their comfort level. But this requires expanding the array of tools in our repair kit for achieving positive ends.

Correctly, Beck recommends that we “declare the causes that unite us.” But while I look to the Quantum Paradigm for that foundation, he outlines Nine Principles which only add to the mess. His openly emotional biases are a disservice to his undeniably good intentions.

It’s important to clarify the points of agreement and difference here. I’ve used the Common Sense concept in my own work for more than thirty years. Especially because he’s become the spokesman for America’s ideals and best hopes, it’s important that I clarify my position.

We do have universal causes that unite us, but not the ones Beck lists. I’ve limited myself here to answering the first five of his Nine Principles:

1. “America is good.”

This generalization is full of assumptions. It’s too simplistic to be useful. America is not a static or uniform entity. The nation has evolved over time. Its components are mixed. We can love our homeland without having illusions about its unqualified “goodness.” Beck’s tacit premise, that he can single out one (superior) country to the exclusion of others alienates other nations. He’s slicing the pie the wrong way. Everyone everywhere is sometimes and in some ways “good,” in others not. In addition, time doesn’t go backwards. Beck’s sentimental attachment to America’s past is unwise. It’s a disservice to the immediate cause of human survival.

2. “I believe in God and He is the Center of my life.”

Sincere truth seekers everywhere hold a variety of beliefs. Not all assign either a name or gender to the Creator. Further, the nucleus of our lives remains the same, whether we acknowledge it or not. Agnostics who say they have no experience upon which to base religious beliefs can still be truth seekers. They’re often decent human beings doing their best as they understand it. Though they see things differently, atheists also thirst after truth and have been known to return full circle.

3. “I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.”

Fine. But using what methods? The Quantum Paradigm approach, “Be aware of what you are doing and why,” is an excellent start.

4. “The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.”

This is a mish-mash of culturally-conditioned assumptions. First and foremost, individual conscience that depends on the Universal Center is sacred — not family. An either-or choice between biological family and governments — as if either were “the ultimate authority” — is unacceptable. Otherwise, where do those raised as orphans or whose experiences of family were damaging and degrading look for authority? What about celibate adults or those who choose not to marry? Do they matter in Beck’s worldview? In practice, his grounds for common cause are painfully exclusionary. Further, families change over time (as those who’ve been widowed or married more than once are keenly aware). It’s the silent source which is constant.

5. “If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.”

This feels good, but it’s way too general. What law — the laws of man, of Nature or Nature’s God? This seems to refer to human law. But considering how laws are made today and by whom, that’s dicey. Consider the evolving, punitive tax code, for example. What about the fact that laws are so numerous that you can’t do anything without violating one law or another? And what about our elective, highly politicized justice system? Principle Five is wishful thinking. It doesn’t match actual experience. Perhaps if Beck thought in terms of the three-tiered wheel, this would be better phrased. Certainly God’s justice is impartial and karmic consequences return to everyone across the board. But that’s a different subject.

So how have we gotten so far away from common sense? In large part, it’s due to the intentional strategy of polarization. The diversionary tactic of bad-faith bad guys is to confuse people with an overwhelming number of phony half-truths. We’re forced to choose between false, equally unacceptable either-or options. The noisy, superficial clash between apparent opposites bombards our senses through the daily news: Republicans versus Democrats. Conservative libertarians versus liberal progressives. Christians versus Jews versus Muslims. Atheists versus theists. Optimists versus pessimists.

Then there’s the straw dragon strategy. Virulent atheism is a product. It’s accomplished by setting up an illusory bogeyman in order to shoot it down. This is the inherent danger of claiming “divine right” for kings, emperors or tzars.

Associating kings (or communist leaders, for that matter) with omniscience leads to an opposite and equal mistake. Disillusionment with individual rulers is mistakenly transferred onto authority in general, whether organized religions or governments. Bouncing off of one problem, we’re pushed into even worse ones.

To repeat, this misses the point. In Quantum Paradigm context, what authorities do or don’t do is irrelevant to the creator’s existence. Human misbehavior has no direct bearing on timeless truth.

Dispensing with an entire belief system indiscriminately — emotionally, bitterly — is like shooting oneself in foot to get rid of a blister. We’re rarely taught the skills to discriminate between distortions — abusive misrepresentations — and enduring, substantive value. The extreme position of “all or nothing” is dramatic but self-defeating.

Another “alien invader” strategy is to blame human suffering on God. In the face of tragedy, people are tricked into believing that God has abandoned them entirely. Numerous popular songs plead with the Creator: “Can you hear me?” To ask is to admit we’ve forgotten about God. Of course the Creator is intimately aware of creation. Better questions would be, “Are we quiet enough to hear? Are we really listening?”

A great deal of the mess comes from the lack of a complete, correct and positive Quantum Paradigm. There are different levels of knowing. It’s essential to keep them prioritized. Con-fusing sub-rational with super-rational ways of knowing is a major mistake. It’s an alien sleight-of-hand to lump these extremes together and write them off them as “irrational.”

More of the mess is due to failing to adhere to a common center which serves as the fulcrum between see-sawing extremes. Here the law, “The larger the front, the larger the back,” comes into play.

For example, extreme rationality generates opposite and equally irrational results. Barring sub- and super-rational alike, atheists who claim to hold the rational high ground can be extraordinary irrational. They come across as angry, rude, intolerant and demeaning.

Journalist Peter Hitchens describes ironic inconsistencies in the wake of the Russian revolution. As a journalist, he observed that what claimed to be an egalitarian society was in practice highly stratified and unequal. Extreme corruption enriched a handful of vastly wealthy elites at the expense of the masses who lived in miserable poverty.

Peter’s brother, atheism apologist Christopher Hitchens, who claimed that religion spoils everything, called for a “new” enlightenment. This is nonsense. Light was, is, and always will be light. Reason is necessary, but not in itself sufficient. It’s not all there is. It occupies a middle ground, serving to link the material plane with the center.

Reason is not qualified to enter into super-rational realms. It cannot be appropriately used to critique what’s beyond it. But it can play an important part. At its best, used with Sherlock-like skill, it’s indispensable for detecting and foiling the schemes of alien enemies.

Once reason clarifies how we’ve gotten into such a mess — exposing the hostile aliens’ rules and methods — it’s important to move on to the next question. What are we going to do about it? How can using the Quantum Paradigm of Change protect us from the effects of alien schemes and lead to positive solutions?

Fresh Start

After facing up to the inescapable proof everywhere around us that our language and idea pools have been corrupted, what do we do about it? Extreme radical measures call for opposite and equal survival responses. Scrap everything. Back to the drawing board. Clear the decks. Empty the overflowing in-baskets and clutter on the mental desktop.

Religious leaders have abused the teachings, so atheists have been conned into rejecting the fundamentals of the timeless, perennial philosophy altogether. Human authorities have violated their responsibilities, so reactionaries have been conned into making the mistake of rejecting all authority on every level.

Let’s face it. Religious and secular institutions inevitably degenerate. They accumulate baggage over time and drift away from founders’ visions.

So from time to time in the repeating cycles of history, it becomes urgently necessary to sort out what’s worth holding on to and what not. Do a thorough cultural house cleaning. Right now, people everywhere are overdue for a major rethinking of their paradigms.

Start with the premise that we’ve been brainwashed. We’re ensnared in contradictory myths and misconceptions. So approach the work with humility and extreme caution. Accept the possibility that everything you thought you knew is wrong.

Initiate OPERATION RESCUE. One individual at a time, take back our most precious asset: our minds. Like tenacious truth-miners, sift through the mud to separate out nuggets of pure gold. Hold fast to truth. Fearlessly put the rest behind.

Go back to the drawing board. Wipe the slate clean. Start over with a fresh, unmarked deck. Rethink organizations by the standard of the Positive Paradigm. Start with the smallest unit of organization — yourself. Work with what’s possible. Be assured that every little bit helps. “One grain of rice can tip the scales.”

If this seems daunting, remember, the stakes. They couldn’t be higher: the survival versus extinction of all you love. Each contribution affects the whole. Everyone matters. As Einstein warned in “Ensuring the Future of Mankind”. . . “Each one of us would be at fault if the goal were not reached in time. There is the danger that everyone waits idly for others to act in his stead.”10

Remember the scare of thermonuclear war, Einstein’s worst nightmare. In 1962, Kennedy and Khrushchev engaged in a personal ego contest, going toe-to-toe during the Cuban missile crisis. It threatened Soviets and Americans with mutual annihilation. Only at the last hour did they relent.

We have Khrushchev’s personal letter to Kennedy:

Only lunatics or suicides, who themselves want to perish and to destroy the whole world before they die, could do this. . . . If you have not lost your self-control, and sensibly conceive what this might lead to, then, Mr. President, we and you ought not to pull on the ends of the rope in which you have tied the knot of war, because the more the two of us pull, the tighter the knot will be tied. And a moment may come when the knot will be tied so tight that even he who tied it will not have the strength to untie it. . .

Lest history repeat itself, let us urge world leaders not to replay this potentially deadly sword-rattling scenario.

Here are recommended positive attitudes for approaching Operation RESCUE:

1. Gird personal determination to win the inner war that matters most. Put pride and old attachments aside. Let the consequences of failing to rescue your mind along with the rewards for doing it motivate persistence.

2. Take nothing for granted. Appreciate what you have while you still have it. Remember: it took only nine seconds for one lunatic to blow John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s head away. It changed the world as his family and the world knew it. Two bullets was all it took to extinguish our best hope for the future of democracy and world peace.

3. Proceed with equal parts courage and trust. Revisit the basic, important life questions carefully. Scrap the old answers. Shed the emotional baggage and prejudices we all carry from personal experience.

Be willing to look at the world and how one fits into it with fresh eyes. Attachments to familiar beliefs as well as obligations to teachers and family are irrelevant to the TRUTH. So are old animosities. Trust that if old answers were correct and personal loyalties valid, they’ll withstand the test of time.

4. Focus on the values everyone everywhere undeniably have in common. Following Einstein’s example, learn how to “think like a genius:”

The scientist or the artist takes two facts or experiences which we separate; he finds in them a likeness which had not been seen before: and he creates a unity by showing the likeness. . . . All science is the search for unity in hidden likenesses.

Begin with respect humanity’s underlying similarities. Let them be our cause for ensuring human survival. Regardless of national origin or racial background, we’re all endowed with native intelligence and the capacity to reason.

Barring unnatural distortions, we’re born with the capacity to love life and cherish family. Most people, most of the time, have an innate capacity for compassion, a thirst for truth and profound desire for personal freedom. We also enjoy a good laugh.

On the cellular level, we’re products of the same DNA pool. Scientists say that all humans trace back to a mere handful of ancestors. It’s testimony to the human intellect to have discovered the DNA code. It serves as a reminder of the wondrous workings of an intelligent Creator. For how could such an extraordinarily intricate, miraculous pattern (much less its reproductive process) be sheer coincidence? How merciful, that we have been allowed this insight into the workings of intelligent design.

It would be a tragedy for us to forget our common blessings, their single source and the preciousness of life. They should unite everyone everywhere against the destructive schemes of genocidal aliens invaders.

5. Focus on TRUTH. Give it the benefit of the doubt. If familiar expressions don’t work for you, dig deeper. Or try a better approach. But cleave to the life-sustaining essence which sincere practitioners of every faith have held in common from time immemorial. Communicate from that center. And build community from there.

Just as each atom has only one nucleus, in Quantum Paradigm context there’s only one core at the center of creation. Logically, over time and in every circumstance, inspired teachings partake of it. If you delve deep enough into the teachings with a sincere heart, you’ll find the same universal source. Since the center is timeless, its TRUTH has always existed and always will.

There is great power in TRUTH. There’s great power in inspired scriptures to move and instruct us in our ways. This includes the venerable I Ching. The Book of Change instills in the receptive observer a profound understanding of human nature and relationships, the better to lead effectively.

Likewise, the complete and accurate Quantum Paradigm of Change has the power to serve as a road map. Use it as a guide for anticipating and overcoming troubles. Let it serve as a link to TRUTH.

Heavy duty bad guys will do whatever it takes to cut humans off from the source of their power. They block inner awareness any way they can. People conned by alien invaders into denying their origins have been castrated, disinherited — cut off from natural power. They’ve been left helpless.

So be determined to take your power back. This is the deepest meaning of “power to the people.” It’s the foundation of genuine democracy. Never, ever be conned into abandoning the inner source of strength. It’s our hope of ultimate survival.

Don’t waste precious time and energy quarreling about whose version of TRUTH is best. Life is too short and precarious. Urge leaders to stop squandering natural resources to add man-made disasters to the roster of survival-threatening perils. Call on them to stop squabbling over the ego-illusion of world-dominance. It’s the height of human folly.

Countless natural disasters are hovering on the edges of history. Indifferent to our insignificant concerns, they’re poised to wipe humans off the face of the Earth. Violent hurricanes and floods, volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis, comet strikes and increasingly intense sun flares are pending.

Future generations depend on each of us to transcend our petty animal nature. They demand that we draw upon the inexhaustible resource of inner strength to keep the wheel of life together for their sake.

In times of great calamities and sorrow, the truly great in spirit will rise to meet whatever challenges may come, sustained by the eternal center within.

6. Don’t get hung up on language. Don’t be confused by misdirecting spin. Stick to the facts. Don’t let double-speaking truth-twisters insult your intelligence. If you allow them to play on your worst fears, they’ll manipulate you into becoming your own worst enemy. Have a standard for knowing who’s who. If you refuse to be fooled by name-calling, empty labels can’t stick. Know friends from enemies by the fruits of their labors. Not by their whitewash excuses.

Don’t let baggage-burdened labels deter you from knowing what you know. “A rose by any other name still smells as sweet.” On the other hand, noone has a monopoly on the Truth. Don’t let anyone drive you off of “their” turf. Nor do you have to pay dues to partake of truth.

It’s no accident that Jon Huntsman, Jr., the son of a visionary father described above is now serving as point man for a group called “No Labels.” This organization would benefit by working from the deeper perspective the Quantum Paradigm has to offer. However, they are definitely moving us in a positive direction. Here’s how their vision and purpose is described on the website, NoLabels.org:

No Labels is a growing citizens’ movement of Democrats, Republicans and independents dedicated to promoting a new politics of problem solving . . . We welcome people left, right and everything in between as long as they are willing to collaborate with one another to seek a shared success for America. This new attitude is what No Labels is all about.

In this spirit, take back the TRUTH. Find common language that works for everyone. So what if false teachers corrupt the teachings? So what if politicians turn timeless truth upside down? Even if horrible things have been done in its name, that’s all the more reason to get back to the original unchanging basics.

For example, one term atheists might relate to is “Universal Mind.” I’m partial to the term “Creator.” Others choose to call the unnameable source of life the Tao, the Great Father, Holy Spirit, the Buddha or Allah. But author U.S. Anderson used “Universal Mind” interchangeably with “God.”

Perhaps atheists squeamish about the name God, who defend reason as their means for accessing TRUTH, would resonate with the concept of a Universal Mind. The awesomely powerful human intellect is its miniature and mirror. This is, in fact, an accurate representation of the TRUTH.

7. The Danger. Don’t let alien agents define who you are. For example, in the November 2013 issue of Esquire Magazine,14 an was article on “The New American Center.” The web posting put forth a definition of “center” diametrically opposed to the common sense center described here. On the basis of 2,410 registered voters surveyed, researchers generalized that American voters have been shifting on the ideological spectrum. They no longer have a comfortable political home or a champion. Of respondents, 49 percent agreed with the assumption-laden statement, “I never put faith in politicians of either party because they always end up disappointing me.” An additional 25 percent indicated that they were neutral.

This new center is said to agree that those in dire need should receive assistance, but would really prefer that government leave the rest of us alone. Researchers say that the new center wants government to spend less and go easy on regulation,. But they’re okay with raising taxes on the rich and on polluters. The new center “has had it with the rest of the world.” In particular, it doesn’t want American using its resources to fix things overseas when we have problems at home.

Researchers conclude: The center is up for grabs. More than one in three of the new center don’t “feel” that anybody in Washington represents them. They are, therefore, “waiting to be found.” Those on the Left are somewhat confident that someone in Washington expresses their viewpoints. But more than half of the “Righteous Right” feel that no one speaks for them. This conclusion is, apparently, an open invitation to political chameleons. It tells them how to paint themselves to please this new center, the better to “grab” their votes.

I’m deeply skeptical of such studies. My graduate school experience with research scientists wasn’t impressive. In that case as in this, the questions themselves were skewed. The way they were framed prevented accurate answers. Here, participant selection also supports predrawn conclusions. The opinions of those who opt not to vote are excluded. And as in my own experience, the conclusions not only appear to be foreknown. They seem intended to serve ends of political masters.

The dangers of media-influenced opinion polls, the precursor of media-selected politicians, cannot be underestimated. Who after all, funds and for all practical purposes owns the media, if not the likes of George Soros, the puppet master himself?

Regardless of what the agendas for redefining the Center might be, my first remedy is to take back the meaning of “Center.” Let it be defined by common sense in Positive Paradigm context, not by paid political researchers. The hub at the center of life’s wheel can’t be equated with a political center. Quite the opposite. Remember the Karate Kid? Pick one side of the road or the other. Good or evil. Truth or spin. As Mr. Miagi warned, middle-of-the-roaders get “squished like grape.”

8. The Opportunity. Inherent in endings are opportunities for new beginnings. “After degeneration reaches critical mass, regeneration follows.”

For one thing, no matter how extreme the danger, we’re never alone. This is so on both physical and metaphysical levels. Just as alien invaders are infiltrating society, there are conscientious souls who know very well what they are up to. They’re penetrating enemy ranks to reroute their plans. They’re also courageously calling public attention to blatant nonsense.

For example, follow Dr. Timothy Daughtry and colleagues at concordbridgeconsulting.com. He’s captured the dynamic of deceptive messaging perfectly: “Whatever you intend, say the opposite.” Here’s a sample from “Liberals Love It When We Fight:”

Helplessness, and not hope, is the left’s real message. . . the uniform message from liberal politicians to minority Americans is that the system is stacked against them, and that their only hope is through electing liberal politicians — not through personal effort. 

So, trust that people of conscience are embedded in the right places to say and do the right things at the right time. Just as invaders’ agents work to undermine humanity, modern-day sages are tenaciously working to expose and defeat their schemes. That’s why it’s imperative to cut across false boundaries.

Connect with like-minded boundary-spanners wherever they are to be found. If they’re true to the common sense voice of conscience, they’re humanity’s best hope. Heed them. Remember JFK’s vision:

I look forward to a great future for America — a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purposes. I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will reward achievement in business or statecraft, which commands respect through out the world not only for its strength, but for its civilization as well.

In this message, John Fitzgerald Kennedy left behind unfinished work and with it the key to a fresh start. We now have the opportunity to complete what his started. Here’s the vision he intended to make real.

With the tool of the Quantum Paradigm of Change now in hand, we have the opportunity to universalize his vision. Let us urge all nations to balance strength with restraint, wealth with wisdom, and power with positive purpose.

Kennedy’s death was a comma, not a period. The ideas he expressed in the speech meant to be delivered on the evening of November 22, 1963, the date of his assassination, can still be realized. Parallel to Einstein’s unfinished quest for the Unified Theory, the time is right to pick up Kennedy’s fallen flag and move forward using the Positive Paradigm as the basis of a common leadership initiative:

. . . our duty as a Party is not to our Party alone, but to the nation, and indeed, to all mankind. Our duty is not merely the preservation of political power but the preservation of peace and freedom. . . So let us not be petty when our cause is so great.

Fifty years later, as he foresaw, not just one nation’s future is at stake. It’s an “all or nothing” challenge. So let’s call on our leaders to something truly extraordinary:

Forsake the conflict-driven quest for personal political power. Put it at the service of an even more powerful and truly worthy goal: human survival. Partnership in a leadership initiative to fulfill JFK’s vision.

But don’t just sit back, waiting for politicians to wake up. Follow Einstein’s advice. Don’t build another human institution, a conglomeration of internally conflicted governments.

Instead, build an international intentional community of like minds. The internet gives opportunities for connecting across limiting, artificial boundaries that Einstein would never have dreamed possible.

Bloggers, do your best. Put the pressure of public opinion behind a tidal wave of appeals to nation- and opinion-shapers.

The Right Reason

It keeps nagging at the back of my mind to revisit the standard I was taught to use for rethinking past decisions, and for making better ones going forward.

Here it is.

Twenty years ago, this approach seemed simple, clear and useful. It seemed that my life would go a lot better if I stopped to think through my choices before acting. Maybe other people’s lives would turn out better if they did too.

For example:

Right Action for Right Reason: I write books in order to enrich people’s lives, tipping the balance in favor of human survival.

Right Action for Wrong Reason: I choose to write books that will be bestsellers in order to get attention and make tons of money.

Wrong Action for Right Reason: I stop writing books because people aren’t yet ready to hear what I have to say.

Wrong Action for Wrong Reason: I stop writing books because I no longer have hope for the future.

Though it’s hard to second guess why others do what they do, much less foresee the long-term consequences of their choices, I’m tempted to make a calculated guess:

Right Action for Right Reason: I run for public office to serve We the People.

Right Action for Wrong Reason: I run for public office to defeat enemies I disagree with.

Wrong Action for Right Reason: I criticize opponents in order to be elected.

Wrong Action for Wrong Reason: I criticize opponents in order to diminish them.

But (obviously) things aren’t always so simple. If I overthink, I can sink way deep into swampy rabbit holes of no return.

Can I really know what is right? Are the reasons I give for my actions honest and sincere? Or are there hidden motives lurking in the personal past that drive me? Ones I’m unwilling or unable to admit to myself? Ones that perhaps color my thinking, possibly distorting outcomes?

For example:

Right Action for Right Reason: Ever since a librarian told the six-year old, orphaned me that books are my friends, I read and write seeking and offering friendship.

Right Action for Wrong Reason: I extend good-will as I understand it, I overlook the possibility that what is of value to me has no value to others.

Wrong Action for Right Reason: I offer unwelcome, unsolicited information hoping to prevent unnecessary mistakes and painful suffering.

Wrong Action for Wrong Reason: I offer unwelcome, unsolicited information in the mistaken belief that I can rescue those I care about from the consequences of their choices.

Projected on to others, similarly complicated inner dynamics might look something like this:

Right Action for Right Reason: I heroically carry on my family legacy in order to complete unfinished, worthy goals.

Right Action for Wrong Reason: I work to fulfill my family’s legacy by following the political path my predecessors.

Wrong Action for Right Reason: I excite peoples hopes and exhaust combined resources, fighting to create an idealized, better future.

Wrong Action for Wrong Reason: I am compelled to push past what is possible right now, sacrificing the long-term good that with patience could have evolved.

It gets ever more complicated. And only time will tell.
