3 QUANTUM PHYSICS MATTERS
“Science, through Quantum Physics, is showing us
that everything in our Universe is energy.”
– Comillo Lokin
Learning how thoughts, feelings, and the Universe’s Search Engine work together to deliver your quality of life is incredibly helpful. The same insight applies when you gain an understanding of a few basic laws of physics because they similarly impact your life in a huge way.
You Already Know QP
While the words “quantum physics” might send you running for the hills, stick with me and you’ll be surprised how much you already know! For instance, the law of vibration states: If you were to break down anything to its purest form and analyze it—seen or unseen—you would find pure energy resonating as a vibratory frequency. In Chapter 1: Pillars 1 and 2, we covered how matter is pure energy in a constant state of motion in the form of vibrational frequencies.
Another quantum physics principle states: Thoughts are things that hold the energy field into what it is you see. In Chapter 2 we covered how the Universe’s Search Engine a) picks up thoughts as keywords and b) searches for, then c) returns frequency matches in the form of real-life experiences. This is how your thoughts bring to you what you see.
The Law of Attraction
I’d guess the most popular law of physics is the Law of Attraction, which is the magnetic power of the Universe that draws similar energies together. The 2006 Australian-American documentary, The Secret, taught us that life experiences are formed through our thoughts and related emotions. Exactly what we’re talking about!
That film did a great job of kicking off the discussion on our journey to expanded consciousness and harnessing universal powers. This book picks up where it left off, putting the pieces together to decipher precisely how, in scientific terms, the Law of Attraction works.
HEAR THIS: Law of Attraction Is the Frequency Highway
If you’ve read Chapters 1 and 2 you already know how the Law of Attraction works, because I theorize that: The Law of Attraction and the frequency highway are one and the same.
• LAW OF ATTRACTION: THE MAGNETIC POWER OF THE UNIVERSE THAT DRAWS SIMILAR ENERGIES TOGETHER
• FREQUENCY HIGHWAY: THE CONDUIT THAT BRINGS TOGETHER MATCHING FREQUENCIES
The force behind both the frequency highway and Law of Attraction is the same, functioning to bring together “similar energies” or “matching frequencies.” The secret has been hiding in plain sight all along, camouflaged in semantics. Science cracks the code, making what was once ambiguous tangible, accessible, and harnessable!
Understanding that the frequency highway and Law of Attraction both function as the Universe’s Search Engine, and deliberately harnessing that knowledge to better manage your thoughts to control what’s returned is enough to dramatically improve your quality of life.
But there’s much more to share about harnessing its power to return your dream life, so we continue.
Entrainment
Universally speaking, frequencies work to harmonize. This relates to another quantum physics principle, entrainment, which states: The natural state of being is in harmony.
You notice entrainment when someone yawns and it makes you yawn, or when someone claps or laughs how others join in even if they don’t know what they’re clapping or laughing for. The same thing happens when someone smiles at you and you smile back no matter how bad your day is going. Entrainment takes the credit for these automatic responses.
Entrainment works on a molecular level within our bodies as well. The synching of menstrual cycles when women spend a fair amount of time with each other is an incredible yet quite a common phenomenon.
Entrainment applies to inanimate objects too. The most dramatic example comes from a scientific study conducted by Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens in 1665 that positioned two grandfather clocks side-by-side with their pendulums swinging at different rates. Entrainment caused the pendulums to become synchronized within one day.
Law of Least Resistance
Continuing with the theme of harmony, the law of least resistance is related to nature where electrons always choose the path of least resistance. You can apply this law to your life by letting go of opposition and opting for self-resolution, refraining from taking any action and allowing a situation to resolve on its own.
Some evoke conscious passiveness as a way to apply this principle. While the word “passive” tends to have a negative connotation, here choosing to be passive is a Jedi mind trick where you no longer resist and instead consciously move into trusting that a situation will work out in its own time and manner, accepting the outcome whatever it may be. In this way it’s possible to do nothing and accomplish more, which is why this law is also known as the law of least effort.
In my job managing a portfolio of high-tech Fortune 500 companies I had an opportunity to leverage conscious passiveness. A choppy implementation led to a horde of daily fire drills with high priority issues needing my immediate attention. Dutifully, I rolled up my sleeves and dug in, giving it all I had. But when the intense pressure and breakneck pace didn’t let up after several months I became completely overwhelmed. In tears, I strongly considered submitting my resignation. However, the timing coincided with a planned vacation, so I made the decision to reevaluate upon my return.
During my trip I let it all go, enjoying time with my family and meditating daily. When I returned to work a week later, I had renewed energy and clarity. This afforded me the ability to lean into conscious passiveness. What did that look like? As the avalanche of emails poured in, rather than reactively responding, I first checked with my gut to see if I had an interest in engaging. For roughly 80% of the onslaught, I found I didn’t. So I selected conscious passiveness and said, “Nope, I’m not going to touch that.” Then I deleted those emails.
If that sounds crazy, I completely understand because doing less and accomplishing more is the polar opposite of what many of us were taught. It’s counter intuitive, and yet, like gravity, the law of least resistance is a universal law that always holds true. With faith in all universal principles I decided to eat my own dog food (switching the polarity, drink my own Champaign). I took an educated leap of faith, trusting in the power of the law of least resistance and utilized conscious passiveness.
On the heels of deleting numerous emails I immediately asked myself, “What would make me happy? What do I want to do?” Then I’d do it! Often, it was as simple as going outside to walk the property and take in the magnificence of the flowers and majestic trees. Sometimes I preferred to meditate, and other times I felt like loving on my dogs. These activities brought me peace, balance, and wellbeing, so I continued with this approach for the entire week, day after day checking in with my gut for what would make me happy and choosing conscious passiveness and self-resolution.
By week’s end I noticed a desire. I felt inspired to re-engage, so I delved into my inbox. Wouldn’t you know it? The vast majority—nearly 80% —of what came in throughout the week had self-resolved (mostly by way of different directions taken). Indeed, it is possible to do nothing and accomplish more. What a joy!
As a caveat, for those whose work requires hands-on action (like a chef, ambulance driver, or doctor), your opportunity may not be to decide not to cook, drive, or mend someone. Instead, do a gut check to become aware of your feelings (as an indicator of your thoughts), and where friction or negative feelings exist make shifts by using the power of your thoughts to bring the joy. Stay tuned for Chapters 10 and 11, which offer practical guidance on living in joy when it appears your situation isn’t allowing you to do so.
Ride the Current of Least Resistance
Fighting against what is elongates suffering, makes an issue bigger, and squanders your valuable energy.
