The Quantum Kitchen ...*

Quantum Source ... Quantum World ... Quantum Void ... Quantum You!

As you and I know well,

our spacetime creation is the equivalent

of an all-pervasive and remarkable dream—

one that’s sourced and being dreamed

within the super-charged emptiness

of the quantum void.

The other day, just for fun, I started wondering:

What if we also looked at our human creation as a recipe?

That’s right—a real-deal culinary, nutrient-filled recipe!

Soon, the following thought entered my curious mind:

What if we envisioned this unique recipe

being invented and cooked by the master chef of them all:

the quantum void?

I so enjoyed this imagery that I’m inviting you to join me

as we pay an imaginary visit to the ‘quantum kitchen’

and take a good look at this unique ‘recipe’

that feeds us the nutrients of our special dream.

As we enter the quantum kitchen, we first notice

the empty cooking pot sitting on the stove.

Then, as our attention turns to the kitchen counter,

we find an inventive grouping of several ingredients—

eight of them, to be exact.

As we look more closely at them,

we see and can read the following labels :

space … time …

essence … light …

energy … love …

consciousness … physicality.

Hmm, how interesting!

These, we assume, are the recipe’s basic ‘fixings.’

Then, next to them, we notice—

available, we assume, for extra flavor—

two other tasty and delectable embellishments:

duality … and … morality.

The chef—yes, the quantum void itself

(We could call it “Chef Quantum,” if we felt bold!)—

invites us to have a seat and witness it,

as it creatively works these unique ingredients together

and elevates the mixture into a powerfully tasting meal.

We observe intently as this master chef combines

these mouthwatering features together,

first of all, blending them in the mixing bowl,

then pouring them into the waiting pot on the stove.

As we witness the resulting mixture of nutrients

being masterfully and meticulously cooked

by our consummate zero-dimensional chef,

our imagination-rich minds take us over,

awakening us to the following ‘ah-ha!’:

The resulting mixture—

this unique recipe that is now ready to be served

to you and me as an actual meal—

is the blend of an almost endless range

of possible awarenesses, focuses,

perspectives, experiences,

beliefs, feelings,

opportunities and adventures.

Immediately, on the heels of this insightful vision,

we start to feel a bit more bold and curious.

So, we turn to the chef and ask this question:

“What is your purpose in collecting these specific ingredients

(as opposed to so many other possible ones),

then blending and cooking them into a rich recipe

for us to consciously live in and experience?”

The answer we hear seems quite simple:

“It is so that you can live and play in each of them.

So that you can bathe in every ingredient’s special qualities,

embrace and experience their unique possibilities,

experiment with and maybe even master their potential,

and accomplish their special challenges.

And, best of all, so that you can create

your personal and collective lives

using each of them as a dynamically empowering tool.”

Hmm! Let’s entertain ourselves

by sampling a few examples of these possibilities.

As we envision ourselves daily nourished

by this quantum meal,

you and I can experience ourselves as:

· an essential being (“I simply am! I exist.”),

· a spatial being (“I live and move in space!”),

· a being in time (“I am x-years old!” “I did this yesterday.”),

· a light or soul being (“I am light!”, “I am spiritual!”),

· an energy being (“I’m alive!”, “I feel!”, “I’m connected!”),

· a physical being (“I am a body!”, “I walk & run!”),

· an individual human being (“I am a unique ‘me!”),

· a being of consciousness (“I think, therefore I am!”)

· and a moral being (“I am a good [loving, etc.] person!”).

And, of course, we can embrace each of these identities,

both individually and together,

and in multiple and creative ways.

Indeed, the nutrients contained in this inventive recipe

hold virtually endless possibilities

for a life/dream/meal filled with adventures

found nowhere else in other realms or recipes.

Whoops! Get ready! The scene suddenly changes.

Now, we are allowed access to the very best news of all.

The quantum master chef now turns to us

and spontaneously shares a new revelation:

This recipe now actually contains a “secret ingredient”—

the recipe’s pièce de résistance, if you will.

Wow! Welcome to the ultimate, yet-to-be-mentioned,

most important, most tasty, most yummy ingredient:

the creative ultra-chef, the source-ful dreamer itself,

the quantum void.

Yes, the Quantum Source has actually placed itself,

including its potent emptiness and nothing-ness,

into the recipe of our individual dream.

This fascinating addition is actually invisible,

tasteless and un-noticeable, mind you,

but its “power behind the throne” quality

makes all the difference in enhancing

and perfecting the taste of the entire meal.

Ahh! Our remarkable recipe is now complete!

With the quantum dreamer itself

now serving as the central part of your and my recipe,

our space-embracing, essence-rich, light-filled,

energy-propelled, physically-abundant,

consciousness-strong dream-like meal—

complete with its unique seasonings

of duality and morality—

is ready to be consumed, digested,

experienced and lived

in and to its fullest potential.

--------------

Let’s backtrack a bit, if you will.

Let’s take a moment to re-visit our opening paragraph

about this creation being the equivalent of a dream—

one being dreamed by the ‘chef-of-all-chefs’ itself,

the quantum void.

Here’s an off-the-cuff question for all of us:

“Are we,” as the saying goes, “truly “livin’ the dream?”

I’ve come to believe that the majority of us—you and me, that is—

are, in fact, livin’ our human dream in fairly grand measure.

After all, we’ve delved into most of the ingredients

of our human recipe much more than most people.

We’ve embraced our light and soulful nature more than most.

We’ve connected deeply

with our creative and transforming energies.

And, we’ve tackled the tricky value-driven game of morality

quite genuinely.

In short, we’ve done quite well.

May I be the first to congratulate you??!!

(Thanks! I’ll take your subtle smile as a definite ‘thank you!’).

And now, of course, to top it all off,

we’ve all felt personally invited to consume and digest

the ‘chef’s special,” its secret and powerful ingredient:

the quantum source itself

as our very own quantum nature—

as our ‘diamond in the rough,’ outside-the-dream

source of human power—

now available to us in unlimited measure.

I wonder. Could it be that,

as we more and more fully digest not only this delicious recipe,

but especially savor its quantum super-ingredient,

we will experience our precious dream-filled meal

the same way the quantum void does:

not so much as a limitation-laden creation

or a pain-filled journey, for example,

but as a unique meal to be savored,

as we digest the empowering ingredients

of this inventive quantum recipe’s?

In this scenario, perhaps our own experience of our human dream

will step-by-step become even more freedom-filled,

in ways that allow you and me to “live the dream”

as it was intended:

as a marvelous recipe of multi-faceted imagination

and possibility.

Perhaps, indeed!

As I see it, though,

it’s a possibility that lies far beyond a ‘perhaps.’

For us, it’s a slam dunk, a guarantee, a ‘for sure!’

Why would I make such a daring proclamation?

Because …

… the quantum void—our very own quantum nature—

is our creation’s dreamer and master chef.

And, in those dynamic roles, it has put you and me

in this dream’s starring role,

daily feeding us its enticing recipe,

for an important reason:

to have us embody these magical possibilities,

to anoint us as their creative expressers,

to inspire us to play them out, experience them fully

and live them dynamically.

Thus, propelled by the nutrients of this magical recipe

and empowered by its secret piece de resistance ingredient—

our very own quantum nature—

we can live the human dream and enjoy the human meal

the same way that the quantum source does:

as a uniquely special quantum dream

enhanced with a delicious and nutrient-rich quantum meal.

Bon appétit!
