We are the only creatures on the planet who can change
our biology through our thoughts, feelings, and intentions.
Our cells are constantly eavesdropping on our thoughts and
being changed by them. When we fall in love, positive thoughts
and emotions course through our body and strengthen our immune
system. On the other hand, the dark thoughts and feelings
of depression can leave us vulnerable to illness.
Over the past three decades, hundreds of studies have shown
that nothing holds more power over the body than the beliefs
of the mind. This is the quantum worldview, which teaches
that we are all part of an infinite field of intelligence
– the source of our thoughts, mind, body, and everything
else in the cosmos. This paradigm, which is gaining increasing
acceptance in the world of modern Western medicine, is based
on the following ten assumptions:
- The physical world, including our body, is
a reflection of our perceptions, thoughts, and feelings.
There is no objective reality “out there”
that is independent of the observer. Instead, we create
our bodies as we create our experience of the world.
- Although the physical body seems to be solid
matter, it actually is composed of energy and information.
Quantum physics tells us that every atom is 99.9999 percent
empty space, and the subatomic particles moving at lightning
speed through this space are bundles of vibrating energy.
These vibrations aren’t random or chaotic, but are
carrying information along specific patterns.
- The mind and body are inseparable.
There is one single creative intelligence that can express
itself as our thoughts – as well as the molecules
of our cells, tissues, and organs.
- Our consciousness creates the biochemistry of
the body. Our beliefs, thoughts, and emotions
direct the chemical reactions that take place in every
single cell.
- Perception is a learned phenomenon. The
way we experience the world and our body is learned behavior.
By changing our perceptions, we can change our experience
of our body and world.
- In every moment, impulses of intelligence are
creating our body. By changing the patterns of
these impulses, we can change ourselves.
- Although to the ego-mind, we seem separate and
independent, we are all part of a universal intelligence
that governs the cosmos.
- Time is not absolute. What we call
linear time is simply a reflection of how we perceive
change. In fact, time is eternal and changeless. If we
can begin to perceive the changeless, time as we know
it will cease to exist and we will experience immortality.
- Our essential nature is pure being.
Although we are used to seeing ourselves as personality,
ego, and body, our true Self is eternal and unbounded.
- Since our essence is immortal and changeless,
we do not have to become victims of aging, sickness, and
death. These are caused by gaps in our self-knowledge
and the centuries-old delusion that our bodies are material.
As Ayurveda teaches, any disorder can be prevented if
we can maintain balance in the body, mind, and spirit.
These may seem like vast assumptions, but they are rooted
in the findings of modern quantum physics. I want to encourage
you to see that you are much more than your limited body,
ego, and personality.
At the deepest level, your body is ageless and your mind
is timeless. Once you identify with this reality, you have
unlimited freedom to create greater health, joy, and whatever
else you wish to bring into the world.
