Quantum Romance: It Takes One to Tango - Page 2
Say you’re getting ready to go out to a party with friends. For no apparent reason your partner is in a glum mood. You’re excited about the party and now that your partner is being a real drag, you have no one to share your excitement with. Do you allow your own resonant state to fall victim to his/hers? Do you react and get impatient? Do you go into analytical mode and attempt to figure out “what’s wrong” with your partner? Do you try to get his/her mood to change? Awkwardly go through the motions of “being together” mechanically? Resign yourself to an evening of disconnect?
These modes are all indicators of classical-mechanical “relating,” with all the key buzz words present: Automatic, mechanical, analytical, cause and effect, parts and separation, categorization, assumption, prediction, and control. If we’re hanging out in this domain, clearly it’s time for some quantum romance.
Quantum Entanglement: It Takes Only One to Tango
The American idiom “it takes two to tango” means that “certain enterprises are going to take the active cooperation of both parties” for the thing to work out. However, in a quantum reality, consider that it only takes one.
The tango is the dance of love. Picture it. A couple moves seamlessly as One… seductive, sensuous, in tandem around the ballroom floor. So complete is their interconnection and synchrony, bystanders raptly gaze upon their beauty and grace. Ah, would that our relationships could be as sublime all the time! Well, perhaps they can!
“Entanglement” in quantum science describes the invisible and instant communication between two particles. When a measurement is performed on one particle causing it to settle into one state, the other particle instantaneously changes to the opposite state, regardless of whether they are a millimeter or a million miles apart.
Try this at home
As Dean Radin so exquisitely details in his new book Entangled Minds, quantum entanglement is far more than a metaphor when it comes to human lives. Consider this: You and your partner are entangled. When one of you experiences a state change, the other one is affected simultaneously. And you don’t even have to be in the same room. How many people have experienced coming home to a partner who, out of the blue, describes feeling inexplicable anger just around the time you had a blow-up with a co-worker at the office? Or incredible fatigue just about the time you were nodding off at your desk?
So how do we put our naturally entangled states to good use in relationship? By becoming consciously aware of these interactions and directing them with intent. We are either at the effect of circumstances and react whichever way the emotional wind blows, or we can consciously generate a desired state. Next > 1 2 3
