Exploring the Quantum Tools for Right Living (Amit Goswami)



Quantum physics was discovered through the study of the motion of elementary particles at the atomic and subatomic level. Many people still cannot get over the prejudice that quantum thinking must be engaged only when we deal with the submicroscopic world of matter. The same people also think that the world is fundamentally made of matter and the real world is objective, local, rational, and deterministic. These people cannot rise beyond the concept of IQ brain-based mental intelligence in their belief system, although many of them take regular forays into the supramental when they creatively discover the solutions to their scientific problems. Their relationship with the world outside their profession may be seriously handicapped because of their faulty belief system. They more often than not live a loveless life (that is, they live in their head, not their heart), they cannot discriminate between good and evil consequences of either their professional or their social work (they are not bothered by developing the atomic bomb or such things), and happiness and emotional equanimity elude them, but they don't know why.




The problem with a worldview that is strictly objective, deterministic, and materialist (scientific materialism-oriented) is that it gives us a highly skewed view of us and our consciousness, emotions, meanings, conscience, and values. In materialism, everything is made of matter; thus consciousness and all subjective phenomena related to it, such as conscience, are relegated to mere epiphenomena of matter (as a gold ornament is an epiphenomenon of gold) without causal efficacy. If consciousness has no causal efficacy, how can we transform? How can we apply the dictates of our conscience? How can we love?



But science is changing, and people who are following this change are realizing that they have to take a transformative path in order to develop a 21st-century science and a code of living that can deal with transformation. Such people are consciously using supramental intelligence (limited though it may be). It is as a result of their work that a scientific treatment of transformation removing all confusion on the subject can today be given.



Once we understand the quantum principles, it greatly facilitates our attempts to develop supramental intelligence. The truth is, everybody has access to the supramental world; many of us just don't explore it for one reason or another. The materialist people do not use it optimally because of faulty ideology in which they have vested interest. What is your reason?



It doesn't matter. with help from quantum principles, as explained later, I am convinced that your reasons for avoiding the supramental will dissipate and you will be able to move onto the transformative path (unending as it may seem), leaving behind the information superhighway to nowhere. The world and its 21st-century problems need you and your capacity for processing supramental intelligence.



You probably like to dance occasionally. Dancing has a unique spontaneity that sometimes surprises the dancer; it seems to happen by itself, effortlessly. When even a limited amount of supramental intelligence manifests in us, it is like dancing in the world much of the time. Resonating with Lewis Carroll, "will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?"







The Quantum Tools toward Supramental Intelligence and Transformation



Why is transformation a relatively rare commodity? The psychologist Abraham Maslow, who did a definitive study of (partially) transformed people (Maslow's term for these people was people of positive mental health), estimated that maybe 5 percent of all people belong to this category. What is the explanation of this rarity?



Let's put it in a different way, in keeping with the mystic philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. He used to chide people, and I paraphrase: why can't you change? Why can't you embrace nonviolence? Great teachers have given you the message of nonviolence for millennia, and good recipes, too. You all have tried to follow them. But why do you fail? Why does a vast majority of people fail? Because you try to be nonviolent in a continuous way. You think, today I will be a little less violent, and tomorrow even less. It doesn't work like that!



So how does transformation work, if not through continuous effort, if not by applying rational intelligence? Can any movement, any change be discontinuous?



There are two reasons that people tend to be skeptical about discontinuous change. One is that as adults they seldom experience a discontinuous movement of consciousness. Generally, our experiences are continuous. We look outside, close our eyes, or go to sleep; when we open our eyes or wake up from sleep, the same outside world is there. Continuity seems to prevail. If we look inside, we find thoughts and feelings that seem to make up a continuous stream of consciousness. The second reason for skepticism is the brainwashing that goes on today under the guise of scientific education in favor of rationality, in favor of a continuous algorithmic answer to every problem.
