The Quantum Dance
The world appears substantial. We bump into things and each other. We feel the rain and would swear on our mother’s grave we’re encountering a collection of material drops. To say otherwise invites cynical laughter and derision.
Yet quantum physics, the study of the universe at its most minute 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 take for granted aren’t really things at all. In other words, they’re not solid. There is—to adapt a phrase I adore and often cite attributed to Gertrude Stein—simply no there there.
Even those of us who understand some of the scientific theories 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 swirling possibilities where everything is constantly in flux. Seers and mystics, in fact, sometimes refer to this foundational realm out of which the movie of our lives momentarily projects as the Dark Sea of Awareness.
Atoms, the building blocks of so-called matter, however much they might seem to be physically circumscribed, aren’t actually like tiny billiard balls. That’s kindergarten science.
From a shamanic or alchemical perspective, atoms are more like sentient waves, their intelligently responsive existence a blur of potential until they magically appear to materialize.
Mimetic Desire & Belief Manipulation
There is, of course, a method to the multiverse’s creative madness, an order and energetic methodology behind what appears to be pure chaos. From a human perspective, as John Kreiter observes in THE MAGNUM OPUS,
Beliefs are the underlying structures that shape our lives […] They create and give direction to thoughts and ideas, and these thoughts trigger or induce emotions that then naturally propel raw and very powerful energy, through and around the body, and into the environment at large.
While this may sound all well and good, there’s a sobering pitfall to the way we go about imagining our world.
Through a process known as “mimetic desire,” which leads people to assign value based not on direct experience but through imitation of what others appear to desire, beliefs can be conditioned and even installed in the human psyche.
As French philosopher René Girard explained in his influential mimetic theory, “Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire because we imitate their desires.”
The upshot is that the world brought into being by people through their (installed) belief systems can be manipulated by anyone—or anything—powerful and knowledgeable enough to pull the right emotional strings to produce … the desired beliefs!
Perhaps you’ve heard of the concept of the “tyranny of belief.” This phrase can refer to the control and manipulation of the human herd through society-wide implementation of both laughably obvious and cleverly camouflaged forms of indoctrination.
To use George Orwell’s famous term, we’re talking about groupthink, which Wikipedia describes as a
psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in … irrational or dysfunctional decision-making .... [T]he desire for cohesiveness in a group may produce a tendency among its members to agree at all costs. This causes the group to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation.
The key takeaway is that society’s members are psychically pressured into defining “true” and “right” based not on personal experience or direct gnosis (inner knowing), but on what the creators of social discourse put forward as “true” and “right”—in other words, what to believe in—even in the absence of genuine logic or compelling evidence.
This situation leads—almost inevitably, it would seem—to the creation of a certain kind of top-down, pyramidal structure that controls society, culture and, given enough free rein, eventually the world itself.
The Observer Effect
The oft-discussed “observer effect” based on the so-called particle-wave duality made famous by numerous researchers conducting double-slit experiments isn’t a negligible phenomenon.
To the contrary, the observer effect applies to far more than just photons appearing as particles or waves depending on whether an observer happens to be around to coalesce them with the power of attention.
Doing this with light is just a cheap party trick, like pulling a rabbit (a particle) out of the infinite probability waves of the quantum soup (the Dark Sea of Awareness). But things can get way more … intriguing.
As evidenced by such minutely scrutinized paranormal phenomena as tulpas and egregores, the really jaw-dropping magic happens when—knowingly or otherwise—we use our focus to collapse waves into actual “matter.”
A notion deriving from Tibetan Buddhism, a tulpa is said to be a thoughtform materialization, often taking human shape and serving as a helper or “servitor,” generated by way of consistently applied intention and attention.
Similarly, an egregore, we read in Wikipedia, is a “non-physical entity that arises from the collective thoughts of a distinct group of people … [T]he concept has referred to a psychic manifestation, or a thoughtform, which occurs when any group shares a common motivation—being made up of, and influencing, the thoughts of the group.”
Leaving aside the many connections between such thoughtforms and reality installations that form and inform groupthink and related behaviors, let’s cut to the chase about the larger implications of such phenomena.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but the documented existence of tulpas and egregores (both of which have often been witnessed by multiple individuals simultaneously) strongly suggests, in Jon Rappoport’s emphatic words, that “THE UNIVERSE [IS] A PRODUCT OF MIND.”
Indeed, one could argue that the observer effect is the primary energetic dynamic of “reality” itself.
