The world appears solid. We bump into tables. We feel the rain and think it’s a collection of material drops. To say otherwise invites laughter and derision.
Yet quantum physics, the study of the universe at its smallest level, unveils a startlingly different picture from what today’s hyper-materialist humans so glibly dub “reality.”
This may be old hat to some, but in the quantum realm, the “things” we so take for granted aren’t really things at all. In other words, they’re not solid. There is, to adapt a phrase I love from Gertrude Stein, simply no there there.
Even those of us who understand the science behind this concept often only pay lip service to it—believing one thing (reality isn’t solid) while acting with cognitive dissonance based on a diametrically opposed belief (reality is hard and immutable).
Nevertheless, it can be shown, intuited and eventually even seen with the inner senses that this world is nothing more or less than an intricate dance of energy, a sea of possibilities constantly in flux.

Seers and mystics, in fact, sometimes refer to this greater REALITY out of which the movie of our lives momentarily projects as the Dark Sea of Awareness, a term I first encountered in the work of Carlos Castaneda.
Atoms, the building blocks of so-called matter, aren’t tiny billiard balls. That’s kindergarten science.
Atoms are more like sentient waves, their intelligently responsive existence a blur of potential until observed. This may strain credulity, but at the fundamental level of energy, it’s just how “things” are.
Such mind-bending revelations shatter our everyday perception.
They dictate—if we’re to be honest with ourselves, logical in our thinking and not reactionary in our emotions—that the world we see is NOT the ultimate reality, but merely a projection of it.
From this perspective the manifest world is revealed as maya, illusion, the stuff of mind.
We’re not separate from this quantum dance; we’re inextricably bound up in it. The solid “things” we think of as ourselves are merely illusions moving through a greater illusion … at least until we get real in our innerstanding and begin to collect the scattered fragments of ourselves we’ve left behind in our unconsciousness.
Shamanic recapitulation, inner alchemy and Regenetics (which can help heal what I refer to as the Fragmentary Body) are extremely useful tools in this internal process of awakening and becoming our authentic selves.
