“Unknowing

is how we stay conscious

and make space for emergence.

Becoming

is what happens when we do.”

The above quote grabbed my attention.

It’s sooo quantum!

As I digested it more thoroughly,

the following images and thoughts took form in my mind.

I’m honored to share them with you.

When we enter a state of non-knowing, non-thinking,

non-attachment, non-self, non-being and non-identification,

two results automatically and magically appear.

First, we dissolve into a ‘state’ of pure nothing-ness.

Here, endless emptiness and zero-ness are the only residents.

You no longer exist as a tangible creation.

At best, in this empty state, you are an invisible possibility.

But the simple truth is:

You are nothing.

Being nothing is breathtaking!

There’s nothing to represent, nothing to prove,

nothing to believe in, nothing to die for,

nothing to fear, nothing to do.

In this state of ‘absence of everything,

you discover an emptiness-ness-filled realm of wonder,

mystery, magic and possibility

that swiftly becomes totally fulfilling and ‘enough.’

Better yet, you live in a profoundly mystical power,

a quantum power that is like no other

and yet is so much more than any other.

You find yourself melting into this power, becoming it.

You find this power becoming you.

That’s when this power starts to express.

That's when the second result magically appears.

This quantum power opens an earlier unnoticed door,

sometimes several doors.

It ushers you through each of these doors,

usually one at a time, sometimes with years between each opening.

It introduces you to what lies beyond it:

worlds, dimensions, creations previously unknown to you,

each of them mighty marvels for you to behold.

With each dimension or realm you experience,

you realize that it has been living within you all your life,

hidden from your view, awaiting its time to be discovered,

waiting for this time, now.

It’s here.

You meet and drink in each world’s special gift,

its unique quality, its special power.

You find this gift to be a perfect complement to your human-ness.

You witness it becoming an intimate part of your human-ness.

As a result, you notice yourself now feeling like an expanded human—

a magically upgraded human,

a ‘quantum human.’

Yes,

Unknowing

is how we stay conscious

and make space for emergence.

Becoming

is what happens when we do.”

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