Do You QuantumThink?

2004 Dianne Collins

Now

Come in real close to me now because I am about to

become your best friend.

You know what best friends do. They tell you things no one else

will dare. Out of their love for you. Okay, so here it is.

Its a whole new world out there.

Big revelation, you chortle.And its not going back to the way it used to be.

(Did you really think it would?).

Okay heres more.

You have no idea how to think for this new reality.

This is no fault of your own. Weve never been in this

situation before. You know what I mean. Your kid knows more

than you do, you cant understand half of the ads on TV, the 2-

party systems (pick any country) have blended into blur. Jewelry is

worn in the body, not on it, companies worth billions one day and

less than nothing the next rule the world, and people in jeans and

dread locks discussing stock trades have replaced the Perfect Guys

in Suits. They are trying to sell you food that Mother Nature

didnt grow, and building space stations for your future home

when youre not ready to move.

Do You QuantumThink? Dianne Collins 2

People touting themselves as compassionate are waging

war, while young people blow themselves up with their parents

consent in order to kill even younger kids. The information

superhighway has no traffic signals and probably never will.

Things move so quick you cant keep up. Furthermore, youre not

sure you want to.

Quantum physicists write books on spirituality, government

intelligence uses psychics, and your mortgage broker is now a

holistic healer. While youre trying to figure out wholl be the next

Survivor, live television audiences are conversing with dear

departed loved ones, and all these ladies are sitting around

watching Oprah every day, getting enlightened, while youre still

convinced intuition is a woman-thing. All this is so mind-boggling

you cant even think. Precisely my point.

[Drumroll. Enteryour new friend Thats me remember?]

Old thinking isnt going to cut it in this new world. Hold onto your

hat, Friend.Its time to QuantumThink.

Not tomorrow. Not next year. Not when you get everything

worked out or the world becomes a better place. Not after you sit

on a mountaintop for 20 years contemplating right living. Now.

This book isnt going to tell what you should do, how

you should be, or the way the world should be. It is not going to

analyze your psyche or why your past made you what you are

today or wish you werent. It isnt going to tell you how to make

your productivity higher, your employees more empowered, your

money increase or your relationships work. It is not going to tell

you how-to do anything to make you richer, thinner, happier or

enlightened.

Wait, dont leave yet!

Now the fact that you may get any of those results, or

whatever else you want in life and much easier and quicker than

you thought possible is likely to happen. But it isnt going to

happen because I tell you how or what youshoulddo, and certainly

not what you should think or how you should think.

It will happen because you have access to your power to

create. It will happen because you will know the workings of your

own mind, your own consciousness. It will happen because you are

tuned in to a more accurate and expanded view of reality, universal

laws that have been underground and out of sight.


5/22


It will happen because you begin thinking and living from a

foundation at the heart of ancient spiritual wisdom being verified

by 21st

Century science.

It will happen because you are tuned in to the way reality works,

rather than continuing to live in the illusion or perhaps oblivion

that has plagued our culture until now. Illusion means erroneous

belief. Oblivion meansforgotten.

A great contemporary spiritual teacher, Gurumayi

Chidvilasananda, advises,

If you want to talk to somebody, talk in such a way that

your statement provokes contemplation instead of an argument or

a challenge or a useless debate. Let this very conversation be one

that takes you to the Truth.

I am not here to prove anything to you. This is not a

book to agree or disagree with. (This lets a lot of pressure off both

of us.) I am here to speak from my heart to yours, from my mind to

yours, from my soul to yours. At some point you realize we are

really One and the Same Being anyway, so you can consider this

Self-reflection.

I am not here to tell you something you dont already know

at some level of your being. If you didnt know it, you wouldnt be

able to relate to it. I am here to presence the reality you are already

sensing, feeling, thinking, or at least wondering about (maybeyoure ignoring it).


6/22


How do I know this? Because you and I are here sharing

the same planet at the same time. One of the great paradoxes of life

is we are all uniquely different, and yet we are all the same.

Whether you are a wealthy mogul who has amassed a personal

fortune, or whether you are 16 and looking at your future ahead of

you; whether you work in a factory or on construction; whether

youre an entrepreneur or educator, doctor, lawyer or programmer

up all night writing code; whether youre married with children or

without, child with 2 parents or one, cultural creative,

compassionate conservative, celebrity or 15-minutes-of-fame

wannabe this undeniable fact remains the same for us all:

We are in a time of evolution unlike any when have

witnessed or known when what must evolve is human

consciousness itself our own mind and awareness.

You are about to have a most powerful experience of

your life that will alter your experience of life for the rest of

your life. Yes, thats pretty audacious. But, thats okay, it had to

be said. You may be asking why you would want to alter your

experience of life. Your life is just fine, thank you. Okay, Ill tell

you.


7/22


We have in our culture what we call Grown-ups. That

means a person who was small in size and age, and now is bigger

and older chronologically. Its not enough anymore to simply be a

grown-up, or even a potential grown-up. Its time for a new culture

ofWake-ups. Wake-ups are people who have been asleep and

woke themselves up. Wake-ups can be any age, and of any culture.

Youre human? You qualify.

Wake-ups are people who wish to awaken from the

outworn, conceptual reality and absurdities of everyday living that

in our minds dont make sense, in our hearts dont hold true, and in

our souls no longer work.

Think about it. We kill each other in the name of the Most

Holy, presume politicians to be liars and crooks and then entrust

them to lead us, turn guard gate blockades into residential status

symbols, pass blas through elaborate airport security checks just

to go on holiday, and produce television entertainment that

proves the more deviousness you can perpetrate on your fellow

companions, youll not only Survive, youll become rich and

famous and get a book deal.


8/22


Saints and sages throughout the ages have admonished us,

Wake Up!

Outer circumstances can wake you up but thats no fun.

On the contrary. (Witness the infamous 9-11 debacle and its

aberrant offspring.) Imagine you are in a nice comfortable sleep

and the alarm rings. Not very pleasant. But you are in a nice

comfortable sleep and you awaken because you know you want to

wake up at 7am. You set the Intent for that in your own mind, your

own consciousness, and it happens, naturally. You created your

own awakening. Thats nice.

We have lots of outer circumstances that can wake us up

that are the alarm clock jolt illness, destruction, disaster. And on

another level, embarrassment, humiliation, reprimand.

Not too appealing. Another problem with being awakened

by an external force is that its too easy to fall back asleep. You

know, just hit that snooze button and youre back where you were.

Look around. The flags are down. Immediately following 9-11

American flags were flying, 2 at a time from car windows. People

slowed to let you in the lane. They looked at you. You connected

with them.Later that monththe flags are down. Try to fight your

way into the next lane in rush hour traffic. Touch the snooze button

and youre back to sleep. You see what I mean about Waking Up.


9/22


Its no secret. The changes we are seeing and feeling now

are revolutionary. Actually, you could say they are evolutionary. In

a few short years our entire world is different.Its global. Its

instant communication and access to all information, 24/7. We are

more interconnected and globally interdependent than ever.

Everything is intricately interrelated: our economics to our politics,

and our politics to our feelings of fear, and our feelings of fear to

the hopelessness of our youth, and the hopelessness of youth to the

continuance of life.

On the other side we also see it related to our invigorated

strength in uniting, to the opportunities of building cultures anew,

and of creating a future brighter than would have been possible

predicated on the patterns of the past. The decisions we make now

are setting the trajectory for many years to come. Sometimes it

takes seeing whats happening in the outer world to reflect back to

ourselves.

Plausible, satisfying answers elude us in every area of life

from personal relationships to world conflicts to the deeper

questions of meaning and purpose. Pre- 9/11 we were overwrought

and overwhelmed. Now were frightened to death and stymied for

solutions.

The unrelenting acceleration, infinite choice, and

unfathomable uncertainty are signs of our systems and cultural


10/22


ways reaching their limits, beginning to crumble and fade away,

making room for a more workable culture to emerge.

Einsteins edict, The problems we have cannot be solved at

the same level of thinking that created them, is a modern-day

mantra not only because it makes sense, but because it has never

been more relevant.

Imagine waking up one day and discovering that everything

you thought you knew about the nature of reality and the way life

works was, well, um, wrong! Incorrect. Null and void. This is no

imaginary story. This is the situation you and I find ourselves in

today.

A new world view is emerging. Only, this new world

view in many ways has been around forever. We simply havent

been aware of it.

We are living in an expanded reality that has been spoken

about for thousands of years by every spiritual wisdom tradition,

and more recently in the past 100 years is being verified by

science.

Ours is a multidimensional universe comprised not of just

solid physical objects, but of energy constantly in flux, always

moving and changing. A universe not of dead or inert matter, but

of living systems, whole systems. A universe not restricted by time

and space but truly beyond space-time.


11/22


This amazing reality is reflected all around us in our

technology. We construct parallel worlds in the virtual dimension

of the Internet, TV and movies. Energy medicine is becoming the

standard. Quantum science has altered our outer world. But what

about us?

A modicum of common sense will tell you we need to think

in a new way more appropriate to the nature of the world today,

essential not only to our personal relationships, effectiveness and

peace of mind, but to the quality and sustaining of life on Earth.

People are ready to make changes for a more workable,

satisfying and joyful future. Yet there are ways of thinking - firmly

established patterns of relating and deeply ingrained beliefs

embedded in our culture - forming the condition from which we

attempt to make these changes.

Our technology has indeed surpassed us. There is a new

and very different reality waiting to be born yet were still acting

like were in the old one, still thinking in the same old ways.

Weve all become pundits at pointing out the shortcomings and

wrongdoings of ourselves and our fellow humans (especially

them).

Were still treating each other as separate, reacting to our

differences, still treating the Earth like it doesnt matter what we

do to it, still behaving as if national boundaries are absolutes ratherthan arbitrary agreements, still operating in the Fear mode,


12/22


13/22


talents we are here to give to the rest of us. You and I and every

one of us are channels of some knowledge or wisdom. A wisdom

distribution channel, you could say.

You may think you are here to amass wealth and spend it

on yourself and your family, and try to build up a protection shield

from all the ills of the world out there. (Hey, why not? Its a

multidimensional world of Infinite Possibility and all that may be

in there, too.) Still, each of us has a unique purpose, and when you

discover what that is, it makes life so much easier and definitely

more fun. Your life becomes a meaningful adventure. You realize

what you are here to do.

Anyway, well get to that (Your Purpose) later in Chapter

18, The Holomovement of Purpose. For right now, lets just say I

got the cosmic tap on the shoulder and was told to get this out into

the world.

SighChanging the worldone thought at a time

I dont think so.

Can you imagine the agony of such a task, not to mention

the utter impossibility of it. QuantumThink is a newsystem of

thinking, a foundation that in many ways is designed to take you

beyond thinking. It is not just learning new ideas it is about

generating a new condition for your experience of life.


14/22


To QuantumThink is to evolve your conscious awareness

and overall effectiveness by conditioning yourself to think in sync

with an expanded picture of reality at the heart of spiritual wisdom,

now being verified by 21st

century science. This happens

instantaneously as you read.

Although we have been conditioned to relate to the world

in limited ways, reality is much more expansive that we have

imagined. The classical-mechanical world view based in our

ordinary 5 senses has trained us to see things and each other as

separate.

We live in life compartmentalized, business and personal,

management and labor, Muslims and Jews. We live as though

objects are solid and only the physical-material as real, even

though the new science has verified that the very essence of our

reality is comprised of whole, interconnected living systems

composed of energy in flux, mostly empty space, uncertain and

unpredictable, multidimensional and infinite. Most of all, it is

observer-created, and guess what, we are the observers generating

our reality through the very way we think about things.

In QuantumThink, we present the biggest ideas of the

universe as they relate in your ordinary everyday life. These

principles do not belong to me. They belong to the universe. They

belong to the wisdom of Infinite Intelligence, that which defiesdescription, is beyond labeling and beyond definition. These


15/22


principles belong to the universe, and as so do we belong to the

universe, these principles are of us and in us.

When I write and speak QuantumThink into existence, I

speak for and with all those who have preceded me, who are my

contemporaries, and for all those who are yet to express. I am one

voice in our One Conversation. The Conversation belongs to all of

us.

In QuantumThink our main concern is not the facts of the

new science or that any of these things are interesting our

concern is: what can this mean for us in our everyday lives? In our

moment to moment experience, in the quality of our relationships,

in the results we are able to produce in our businesses and in our

careers, in what we imagine we are capable of, in what we think is

possible, in our creativity, in our approaches, in our equanimity

and peace of mind.

QuantumThinking is direct personal experience. This is

how you know what works. It is not a new truth for you to believe.

It is a possible way of distinguishing our emerging world view and

its principles, and to live in the experience of what this can mean

for you in your life. You wont merely understandthese principles

you will experience the power of them in your relationships, in

your work, in your state of mind.


16/22


From the perspective of a new world view we know the

universe is inherently uncertain. In this way, what you will get

from this book is in a very real sense,

unpredictable.QuantumThink is no so much an inquiry into

scientific facts or spiritual wisdom as it is a voyage from which

there is no return into your very own awareness. Think of it as an

adventure into your own mind. You and I know it is time the

world is dramatically shifting. Yet, it may not have occurred to you

that it is also the moment for you to shift to a higher state of

evolution yourself. End of Excerpt #1

Introduction Excerpt #2

Quantum Leap To A New World View

Leap before you look

In television writing, a premise for a story is proposed, and

people ask you - Then what? (what happens next), Who cares?

(why should I care), What's at stake? (what are the consequences,

what will I gain or lose). Our intent is to keep addressing those

questions.

Why is our thinking so important, anyway?

When we observe ourselves, what do we see? We are all

human beings here on planet Earth. By a great, mysterious force

most of us refer to as Divine, we have been granted the gift of life.

Now what? What do we really want? You could answer this on a

personal level, and what we want would each take a different form,

or you could answer this on a universal level that every human

being can relate to. Either way, the answer is "painfully" obvious.

Without intending to sound like doubletalk, we want what we

want. We want our desires fulfilled. Whether you yearn for

spiritual awakening or material gain, emotional satisfaction, or all


18/22


of it all of us want what we want. We want the world to work.

Every one of us, you and I, want the life we want, for ourselves

individually, for our families and communities, and for the world

at large.

Whether you desire peace of mind and a state of happiness

and tranquility or a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm about

being alive every day when you open your eyes from sleep;

whether you want to amass great wealth or a modest home with a

white picket fence; whether you yearn to be a political leader,

business mogul, sports icon, or remain anonymous; whether you

want to save the whales, end world hunger, or be the reigning

queen of hip-hop the basic fact is we all want whatever it is we

say we want.

The question becomes how do we get it? The logic is

simple.

In order to create what you want in life, you would have to

know something about what creates anything. We are not speaking

in terms of the ultimate Divine creation, but in the realm of our

everyday human life; an ordinary person's ability to create what he

or she desires. What does enable us to create anything?

As you think, so you become.


19/22


As I was growing up, along the way I learned, thought

creates reality. Every mastery tradition has proclaimed: As you

think, so you become. The Buddha said,All that you are is a result

of what you have thought. The Christian and Judaic Bibles read,As

a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. In the Upanishads, the holy

men of ancient India, the rishis, teach: Ones own thought is ones

world what a person thinks is what he becomes.

Thought creates reality. I began to see this studying

philosophy in graduate school. People would ask me, Why study

philosophy? What are you going to do with that?What's the good

of it? What's the use of it?

At the time those questions rattled me, but it soon became a

cosmic joke because when you study philosophy you discover that

thought, thinking, is the foundation of everything, from the small

individual action and idea, to the large collective.

Every one of the institutions we live within our educational,

governmental, judicial, economic, and health systems, regardless

of what culture you reside in all begin, are sustained, and end in

thought.

Our predominant habits of thinking shape our actions and

generate all of our results. The mind, an individualized form of the

all pervasive consciousness, from which thought derives, is the

great instrument of life. What fills our consciousness in the formof patterns of thinking, the meanings we ascribe to those thoughts,


20/22


and our emotional responses to those meanings gives us our

moment-by-moment experience, shaping our actions, our energetic

emanations, and our outcomes.

Thought creates reality.Thought creates reality? Well,

okay, how does it do that? I wondered. And furthermore, if all you

had to do is change your thoughts to change reality, then why does

the world still look like it does today with all the conflict and war

and poverty and hunger and endangered species and all the rest of

the problems that seem to hang around?

Its not as if we dont know what to do or what to think.

Spiritual and practical wisdom from every culture and tradition has

been available to us through the spoken and written word since

time immemorial. Shelves of mega-bookstores are lined with how-

tos, techniques, and formulas for living, instructing us what to do

and how to be.

If all we have to do is change our thoughts to change the world,

then with 6 thousand years of wisdom available to us at the click of

a mouse, how is it we are still not living it?

These vexing questions started me to search for a real

access to creating a life that is joyful and sublime. And what did I

discover?

One vital, crucial key has been missing.

We imagine we think freely, yet, we dont.-End of Excerpt # 2

Introduction Excerpt #3

Okay, A Little Bit of My Story Sneaking In Now

A USA Today newspaper article hangs on a wall in my

office. The headline reads:

All the answers for all time in one tiny package.

The article is about quantum physics and that quote refers

to the quantum, the tiniest unit of measurable reality. Since life is

Holographic (the whole of it is contained in each aspect), we can

imagine that we have tiny moments when you see all the answers

for all time in one tiny package, for your own life, for life itself.

One day early in my writing aspirations, I was attempting

to write romance novels

to make what I thought would be easy money (so I thought), the

kind of light love stories that are very simple and short and I was

having trouble doing it. I couldnt understand why I was having so

much difficulty.Im a good writer, I thought. Why is this so hard

for me? In a delirious moment Beyond Frustration, I picked up the

phone and called Isaac Bashevis Singer.


22/22


When he answered the phone himself, the jolt of realizing I

just dialed up a Nobel Prize laureate in literature to ask advice on

writing a romance novel, I blurted out, You dont know me, but I

need your help! Isaac, a man of great curiosity, was intrigued He

said,A philosopher turned marketer turned writer?This, Ive got

to meet. The next day we met over coffee on a street named after

him in Miami Beach. He leaned across the 50s diner table and

whispered loudly in his thick Polish accent,In order to write junk,

youve got to have a junky soul.That was the jolt I needed more

than the double espresso. In one tiny moment, an answer for all

time.

That tiny quantum moment with Isaac changed my life. I

knew I could only do what was true to my soul, what I am here to

do. It is my wish that you experience at least one of those moments

as you QuantumThink. It is my Intent that you experience many

more than one, and that more than anything else, what you get

from this book is a profound and loving awareness of and

connection to your very own Self and access to your power to

create your life and your world, exactly as you desire. **
