Quantum Self versus Conventional Self

The quantum self and the conventional self, or what one might call the “typical self,” are distinct entities. The term “typical self” is not intended to be derogatory. At this juncture in human evolution, a burgeoning number of quantum selves are beginning to surface. As evolution progresses, these quantum selves will continue to materialize within human consciousness until, eventually, all of mankind will have undergone a similar transformation.

Given the vast diversity of human beings, with no two individuals being identical, this evolutionary process can manifest in a variety of ways. To avoid oversimplification or stereotyping, I have noted some generally observable and intriguingly similar traits:

Conventional Self

Quantum Self

Dualistic Perception:

The conventional self often views reality through a dualistic prism, perceiving things as separate and distinct entities.

Non-Dualistic Perception:

The quantum self adopts a non-dualistic view, acknowledging the interconnectedness and unity of all phenomena.

Materialistic Focus:

There is typically an emphasis on material possessions, external accomplishments, and societal norms.

Holistic Consciousness:

There is a broader consciousness that transcends materialism, prioritizing personal development, spiritual health, and the interconnection of mind, body, and spirit.

Constrained Belief System:

The conventional self often adheres to traditional beliefs and societal norms without questioning their validity or exploring alternative viewpoints.

Open-Mindedness:

The quantum self actively investigates and challenges existing beliefs and societal norms, seeking a deeper understanding and alternative viewpoints.

Ego-Centric Motivations:

Actions and decisions are primarily ego-driven, seeking personal advantage, recognition, or security.

Purpose-Driven Authenticity:

Motivations align with a higher purpose and are driven by authenticity, personal growth, and the desire to positively impact the world.

Linear Thinking:

Thought processes are often linear and logical, adhering to established patterns and conforming to societal structures.

Quantum Thinking:

Thought processes are adaptable, nonlinear, and capable of accommodating paradoxes and multiple possibilities concurrently.

Reactive Behavior:

Thought processes are adaptable, nonlinear, and capable of accommodating paradoxes and multiple possibilities concurrently.

Conscious Response:

The quantum self consciously responds to situations based on inner wisdom, intuition, and a profound understanding of interconnectedness.

Restricted Conscious Awareness:

The conventional self operates primarily from a superficial level of awareness, oblivious to the deeper layers of consciousness and spiritual dimensions.

Expanded Conscious Awareness:

The quantum self operates from an expanded state of consciousness, accessing higher levels of awareness, intuition, and spiritual insights.

External Validation:

Seeking validation and approval from others is common, often relying on external sources for self-worth.

Self-Validation:

The quantum self seeks internal validation and self-acceptance, recognizing inherent worthiness and embracing authenticity.

Fear-Based Mindset:

The conventional self may be driven by fear, seeking security while avoiding risks or uncertainties.

Love-Based Mindset:

Love and compassion serve as guiding principles that transcend fear while embracing growth, connection, and the inherent potential within oneself and others.

Separation Consciousness:

There is a sense of separation from others and the world at large; one perceives oneself as an isolated individual rather than an interconnected part of a larger whole.

Unity Consciousness:

There is a profound recognition of the interconnectedness of all beings and the unity of existence which fosters empathy and compassion for all life.

Linear Time Perception:

Time is perceived as linear and sequential, with a focus on past regrets or future anxieties, often neglecting the present moment.

Non-Linear Time Perception:

Time is perceived as non-linear, recognizing the power of the present moment, and embracing the concept of past, present, and future coexisting simultaneously.

Note that these characteristics represent a spectrum of possibilities. Individuals can exhibit a combination of attributes from both the average everyday self and the quantum self, and their positioning on this spectrum may vary at different stages of their personal growth and self-awareness journey. The key is to cultivate self-awareness, embrace curiosity, and actively explore the quantum self’s transformative potential.

The Past is the Past

One of the most debilitating conditions humans can encounter is that of emotional pain, from loss, abuse or regret. Interestingly, we suffer this pain independently of any physical condition, yet the physiological distress can be as serious as the psychological discomfort.

Indeed our thoughts control our emotions, and our physiological wellbeing. When the past haunts us in our present state of mind, the past is not in the past as it keeps impeding on the present becoming a component of “now,” instead of being safely stored in the past where it belongs.

When one has suffered a psychological trauma (which can be demonstrated physiologically as illness or disease) as a result of something that has happened in the past (like, post traumatic stress disorder, for instance), the standard response from someone who hasn’t walked a mile in your shoes is, “Just get over it. The past is the past.”

Ah, “the past is the past;” the mantra of the psychopath. That’s what a psychopath says when he or she has committed a significant transgression, and expects you to disregard the past because it cannot be changed (here’s where they insert assertions about how much they’ve changed, assuring you that you would never be at-risk again) all in an effort to set you up for the next unexpected blow.

Psychopaths are unique in that they have no feelings, no feeling of love, remorse, guilt… they are psychologically bullet-proof (or bankrupt)… they have no need to seek forgivenes, nor do they accept responsibility for their missteps… To those of us who suffer emotionally from being abused, wronged or traumatized, this would be considered a superpower… and in some ways, it is.

Bottling up suppressed emotional trauma related to the past weighs heavily on the normal operating condition of the human body and is not an effective approach to dealing with PTSD.

Thankfully, there are therapeutic models that help people deal with traumatic incidents that have been experienced in the past that continue to thwart our sense of well-being. Enter what I refer to as, “Time Machine Therapy.”

I know that the idea of a time machine seems like a bit too much science fiction for the average person… but time travel has been accomplished using the power of the mind for thousands of years, though some intellectuals insist that it’s only been about 150 years… It doesn’t really matter how long it’s been, what does matter is that it is an effective process that can have valuable healing power today.

With access to this potent therapeutic modality we have challenged that famous catch-all phrase, “the past is the past,” because now, we have a method not only to access the past, but to manipulate or even change the past.

It’s also important to have access to the skills that it takes to let go of the past, to disconnect the physiological connection that leads to discomfort and stress. There are many methods available to help you overcomes traumatic loss or change in your life, and to put you back in the driver’s seat of your life.

Being distracted by the concerns about one’s past makes it difficult to navigate one’s present. That is why it is imperative to deal with the issues of the past for a normal person (does not apply to psychopaths or sociopaths) in order to not have your cognitive resources bogged-down with the burden of yesterday.

It is imperative to begin to live in the present, and together, we can get you from there to here and powerfully empowered to be the best that you can be.

You might ask, “When accessing or altering the past, do we still retain the lessons learned?”

That’s a good question; and the answer depends on the client. In most cases, we can retain the memories, disconnecting the feelings connected to them. In rare cases, entire memories need to be altered or erased in order to preserve a healthy perspective of the client.

A common response to that is, “That sounds like brainwashing!”

You may associate a lot of negative associations to the idea of tampering with one’s memories, but this is done at the request – and with the full cooperation and consciousness – of the client; and in times of emotional crises time machine therapy is a healthy alternative to a condition that might otherwise be unmanageable.

In the event that wiping the slate clean is necessary, the client is always equipped with the combination to the mental safe that keeps those memories locked safely away, if it becomes important to access them once again.

Once you are in charge of your life again, you will find yourself making positive progress, changing your future and the world for the better. You may feel regret from opportunities that were lost as a result of your previous struggles with issues from you past – as though you have lost a piece of your past that may have been better spent – and may have thought that you lost your chance for this or that… Not true. Once you are back in the present you can be and do more than you may have every imagined because you are more empowered and aware than ever before.

You will no longer be limited by false inhibitions or past burdens. Everyone deals with the issues of their past in different ways, and we maintain a quantity of tools and techniques that ensure that you can have a positive outlook for you and those whom you care about.

Life Choices, Challenges and Changes

Leave a reply

It is common throughout one’s life journey to encounter forks in the road requiring having to make a choice of which path would best suit one’s best interests, unexpected obstacles that present you with challenges or unforeseen changes in life circumstance.

Olympia Life Coach is here for you to assist you in examining all the possibilities when faced with life’s choices, challenges and changes.

Choices

We are faced with making conscious choices that we must make as we navigate throughout our life’s journey, everything from the casual choices, like, what clothes should I wear; what food should I eat? How should I fix my hair; or which shoes should I put on my feet? To more consequential choices, like, should I tell my partner how I really feel; or consider a new vocation? Should I continue to conceal, reveal or consider relocation?

When facing more critical choices in life, we must consider all the ramifications of our decisions, enabling us to make responsible decisions; especially when our choices affect the lives of others who we share our journey with. An honorable person considers others outside of our experience in reverence of the greater good. To not do so is to be selfish, self-centered, or possibly narcissistic in the extreme.

Then there are the consequences of our choices that need to be reviewed before making choices, especially decisions that carry gravity in our social arenas, or may even affect the world that we live in.

It is prudent to seek out an unbiased third party, like Olympia Life Coach, to help sort out the best details. Unlike Olympia Life Coach, friends, family and acquaintances do not always have your best interests at heart when consulting them for advice because they have their own vested interests and agendas, when evaluating the details of your quandary.

Olympia Life Coach is there to help you with your choices, so that you have the highest and best probability of success.

Challenges

As we travel through this life, it is not uncommon to encounter challenges that we face. In some cases we may feel as though the obstacles in our way are insurmountable. It is the goal of Olympia Life Coach to reframe your life’s circumstances and develop a plan to mitigate the damages as you are empowered to face these challenges head on, with the best possible outcome.

These challenges can be at home, at work or in the most innermost part of our being when struggling with identity, (who we really are) or destiny (our life’s purpose) in an effort to enhance and enrich our lives as we move on to the next level of our higher self.

Changes

Unlike choices or challenges, which we have much more control over, there are times when we find ourselves in situations that have come about that are completely outside of our control.

This can be the result of loss; the loss of a job, failure of a business, a romantic relationship that has not turned out the way we had planned. The loss of a significant person in our life, either by proximity, participation, or even a loss of life altogether makes one’s journey more difficult to navigate in the light of such significant changes at times.

These situations need not seem utterly unbearable as it may seem. Oftentimes, effective communication with Olympia Life Coach can get you from the place where you are, often feeling helpless, to where you want to be, empowered, fulfilled and onto the high quality of life that you deserve.

Many tools, techniques and strategies are available that have been honed over a lifetime of helping others, just like you, who have struggled with life’s choices, challenges and changes. Isn’t it time that you teamed up with an accountability partner who truly has no other agenda than you help you achieve your highest and best?

Discover and Energize Your Innate Gifts

Discover and Energize Your Innate Gifts

Everyone comes to this planet with a unique set of gifts or innate abilities to share with other inhabitants. The most successful people in the world know what their life’s message is and utilizing their gifts make a huge contribution to society, humanity and/or the overall outlook of the earth.

Many adults when questioned about what their gifts, innate abilities, or life’s message is respond with something, like, “That’s not realistic,” or some other comment discounting the thought that they may have a higher purpose.

That programmed response could be the result of possibly the biggest conspiracy of our age.

Thirty-five years of working with people to discover and embrace their gifts and life’s message has proven time and time again that in a child’s youth, every child is in tune with their gifts and message.

Every once and a while you see a youth who is totally absorbed by their innate abilities, these are the young prodigies. They are revered, yet rare; yet every child is born a prodigy.

The conspiracy lies within our societal programming. In an effort to have a reasonable amount of control of the masses, those who maintain our, “safety and security,” have built into the structure of our society a strict set of checks and balances to ensure their ability to exercise this control.

So, we have public schools, and as our children grow we tell them that their dreams are folly as we try to replace those dreams with more, “realistic,” or acceptable aspirations, i.e., finish high school, go to college and get a good job with benefits. And that is exactly what the machine desires and needs; a majority of mindless parts that exist for the running (or benefit) of the machine.

Granted this analogy may appear to be an exaggeration, nonetheless, you know in your heart of hearts that you were meant for more than this. Something inside you knows there must be more to life than having a nice car, house with a picket fence, a huge cable/internet package, designer clothing and money (or credit) to spend on food and toys. That feeling that there’s something more is your innate gifts crying to be released.

For those who work with Olympia Life Coach to get their gifts, talents and message(s) in balance with their physical reality are geared up for a significant life change. Discovery is just the first part of the task at hand.

The next step is finding ways to integrate your inner-self with your outer-self (the physical reality that everyone else now accepts as being, “you”).

Fortunate for society, not everyone seeks to fulfill their life’s purpose or dreams; only the select few who rise above the masses in an effort to achieve their highest and best and make the world a better place. Because if the masses were to capture this life congruency, we would be surrounded by the magic of success, abundance and our societal structure would disintegrate, as the free-thinking people began to change the world to fit their new realities.

Our clients claim extreme levels of peace, joy, happiness and fulfillment from being united with their life’s purpose; leading to new, productive lives filled with health, wellness, love, compassion and a brighter future. You, too, will begin to see all the issues in your life will begin to resolve themselves as you attune your life with your unique calling.

Contact Olympia Life Coach if you are ready to become the master of your own destiny, transform your life, fulfill your life’s purpose and achieve your highest and best by harnessing your innate gifts.
