Quantum jumping to the perimeter

Well, I've been in a time warp for the last two weeks, how about you, Dorothy? It's the Spring Equinox and time to wake up. Yes, I've been under the spell of the Wicked Witch of the WEST, doing my daily duties, paying my taxes, dues, and creditors, slaving for the corporation, too tired in the evenings to write. I feel like Winston Smith already.

It's hard to keep from falling back to sleep, distracted by the constant chaos that seems to surround me most of the time. Gurdieff would say we're constantly bombarded with "A" influences to the point that few are able to recognize the "B" influences that emanate from the Universe and our own creative, soul self. The Architects take full advantage of this state to keep us imprisoned in the Matrix, and, in fact, seek to heighten the chaos (A influences) and dampen our chances of ever receiving any B influences that can help us find order and creativity. They write programs and send in agents of the Matrix to divide and conquer and to cover their asses (oh, excuse me, White Rabbit, I meant hide their footprints and scent). Predators, indeed, as Don Juan might say.

Chaos, as it turns out, just happens to be the preferred state of a system, according to the properties of systems theory, quantum physics and a theory called EEQT, developed by quantum physicist Arkadiusz Jadczyk. Laura Knight-Jadczyk, his wife, explains the theory in laymen's terms in her article, The True Identity of Fulcanelli and The Da Vinci Code.

Our universe seems to be made up of matter/energy and of consciousness. These are the female/receptive and male/active principles of the great Cosmic Androgyne.

Matter/energy by itself "prefers", as it seems, a chaotic state. Matter/energy by itself doesn't even have a concept of "creation" or "organization". It is the consciousness - the active "male" principle - that brings to life these concepts and by its interaction with matter pushes the universe towards chaos and decay or towards order and creation.

This phenomenon can modeled mathematically and simulated on a computer using EEQT (Event Enhanced Quantum Theory). Whether EEQT faithfully models the interaction of consciousness with matter - we do not know. But chances are that it does because it seems to describe correctly physical phenomena better than just the orthodox quantum mechanics or its rival theories (Bohmian mechanics, GRW etc.) What we learn from EEQT can be described in simple terms as follows:

Let us call our material universe "the system." The system is characterized by a certain "state". It is useful to represent the state of the system as a point on a disc. The central point of the disk, its origin, is the state of chaos. We could also describe it as "Infinite Potential" (the Great Mother - Nature). The points on the boundary represents "pure states" of being, that is states with "pure, non-fuzzy, knowledge". In between there are mixed states. The closer the state is to the boundary, the more pure, more 'organized' it is.

Now, an external "observer", a "consciousness unit", has some idea - maybe accurate, maybe false or anywhere in between - about the "real state" of the system, and observes the system with this "belief" about the state. Observation, if prolonged, causes the state of the system to "jump". In this sense, you DO "create your own reality", but the devil, as always, is in the details.

The details are that the resulting state of the system under observation can be more pure, or more chaotic depending on the "direction" of the jump. The direction of the jump depends on how objective - how close to the reality of the actual state - the observation is.

According to EEQT if the expectations of the observer are close to the actual state of the system, the system jumps, more often than not, into more organized, less chaotic state.

If, on the other hand, the expectation of the observer is close to the negation of the actual state (that is when the observer's beliefs are closer to being false than to being true according to the ACTUAL state - the objective reality), then the state of the system, typically, will jump into a state that is more chaotic, less organized. Moreover, it will take, as a rule, much longer time to accomplish such a jump.

In other words, if the observer's knowledge of the actual state is close to the truth, then the very act of observation and verification causes a jump quickly, and the resulting state is more organized. If the observer's knowledge of the actual state is false, then it takes usually a long time to cause a change in the state of the system, and the resulting state is more chaotic.

What this means is that order can be brought out of chaos by observing chaos as it IS and not pretending that it is otherwise.

In short, everyone who "believes" in an attempt to "create reality" that is different from what IS, increases the chaos and entropy. If your beliefs are orthogonal to the truth, no matter how strongly you believe them, you are essentially coming into conflict with how the Universe views itself and I can assure you, you ain't gonna win that contest! You are inviting destruction upon yourself and all who engage in this "staring down the universe" exercise with you.

On the other hand, if you are able to view the Universe as it views itself, objectively, without blinking, and with acceptance, you then become more "aligned" with the Creative energy of the universe and your very consciousness becomes a transducer of order. Your energy of observation, given unconditionally, can bring order to chaos, can create out of infinite potential.

Wow, did you get all that, Neo? We can create order from chaos by observing reality as it is. By SEEing, SAYing, LIVing, LOVing -- TRUTH -- we can make quantum jumps toward order and creativity. Holy Cow, what a concept! There is chaos because there are lies, there is wishful thinking, illusion and delusion -- deceit around us and within us -- feeding daily on our souls.

Everytime we tell, believe or just plain accept a lie, we help perpetuate the chaos. We plunge our world further into entropy and decay. I'm blown away, Dorothy! How do we get home?

Well, you know what Glenda the Good Witch always says, "you've always had the power to go home, Dorothy." I don't think we need ruby slippers, to figure this one out, given what we've just learned. We have the choice to align ourselves with truth and quantum jump toward the perimeter of the system and a pure state -- or to believe the lies and continue living in chaos. The power IS within.

The power is when we exercise our free will, when we choose true or false, light or dark, knowledge or ignorance, love or hate, to serve others or to serve self (you get the picture, Neo).
