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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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
-
8/3/2019 Ch Introduction Excerpts Do You QT
15/22
Do You QuantumThink? Dianne Collins 15
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.

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

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
-
8/3/2019 Ch Introduction Excerpts Do You QT
18/22
Do You QuantumThink? Dianne Collins 18
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.

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,
-

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.

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. **
