The Quantum Edge

I talk a lot about cause and effect because the “real” world, the one typically known to our 5 senses, is governed by the mechanistic laws of Newtonian physics.  You know, the ‘every action having an equal and opposite reaction’ type of stuff. I stick to this principle in my speaking and training programs because way too many people are a) either unclear on just what they have to do (cause) to get what they want (effect) or (and much more concerning by the way) b) have got into the idea that they should get something for nothing, or at least for the least amount of effort possible.

I am also a firm believer that cause and effect extends into how you think as well. This is the basis of everything from the Napoleon Hill classic, Think and Grow Rich to more recent marketing phenomenon of The Secret and other metaphysics-based teachings.

I know when I push a door, it moves in the direction I have applied force.  I know when I put the effort into my job to perform and produce what it is I was hired for, I get paid.  When you get in to the world of thought, how your thinking affects the reality you create, this is where cause and effect starts to get a bit more murky.  I will come right out and tell you that I don’t know what is going on at the level of quantum physics…I don’t that anyone does. It may indeed be that how we think about something - positively or negatively, intending and attracting something we desire or something we do not - launches into physical manifestation the reality we perceive out of the infinite number of parallel universes of possibility.

Maybe the Large Hadron Collider will let us in on the secrets …

I simply dont know.  And I am OK with telling you that.
