Scientists are surely cringing at the ubiquitous use of “quantum,” which is fast becoming a popular 21 st century buzz word. I’ve heard it used to mean everything from the unified field itself to a healing technique to anything akin to inexplicable weirdness and even magic. But hey, we could all use a little quantum magic in our lives – perhaps most especially in our romantic relationships. As much as we try to figure them out, we seem to always be a little bit dumbfounded and confused with regard to relationships, even while being delighted about them. Divorce statistics (one third of all marriages in the USA) and the proliferation of dating web sites – not to mention the emotional roller coaster rides of romance in film and song are testimony to how much we love, yet how little we know about relationship. One thing we do know – we want our relationships to work. None of us want to live our relationships as unconsciously as Amanda (Marlee Matlin) at the start of What the Bleep. Let’s face it. Amanda’s nonlocal mind was out of commission. Until she arrived at the altar she had no clue that her husband-to-be was entangled with another chick? Not intuiting, not connecting, not tuning in, and then living in emotional reaction. No wonder her life was a mess. When it comes to relationship, a Quantum Romance is, at the very least, fundamentally a consciously aware relationship. Awake is good. Consciously generated is even better. But how do we experience that when all of us in the West have been conditioned by the classical mechanical world view? We imagine we love “freely” and think independently, yet actually we don’t. Like everything else in this elegant universe our thinking takes place in a system, as a system. Our institutions are shaped by the old classical mechanical world view. So are our relationships. Classical world view relating Is your relationship suffering from classical world view thinking? And what does an old world view relationship look like anyway? In classically conditioned thinking, we see our partners as fixed and predictable. We make subtle and even unconscious predictions like, “He’ll never open the door for me. He loves me but he just isn’t like that.” Or, “She’ll never go see Down the Rabbit Hole with me even though she knows I’m into quantum stuff.” Perhaps you try to push or pull your partner around to seeing things your way, cause and effect-style. You attempt to get him or her to change through convincing dialogue or outright demands. Next > 1 2 3 |
