Quantum Psychology
Quantum psychology and Ebenezer Scrooge reveal the secret of happiness.
One hundred fifty years ago, Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol, which, in addition to being an entertaining ghost story, reveals deeper psychological truths. When the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, goes to bed Christmas Eve, he is an unhappy, solitary, miserly old man. He wakes up Christmas morning – transformed. Instead of “bah, humbug,” he laughs joyously as he buys gifts, wishes people a “Merry Christmas,” and plans how he will help Tiny Tim, the handicapped son of his clerk.
Scrooge did not transform his life by talking about his problems or working 
on his “issues.” His transformation occurred while he slept and dreamed of four ghostly visitors. These ghosts are metaphors for what happens in real life.
The psychological insights expressed in A Christmas Carol correspond to the insights into personal growth provided by quantum psychology, which is a combination of Eastern philosophy and Western science. Perhaps the most revolutionary insight is that talking about problems does not bring about transformation but hinders it. Dreams are produced solely by the unconscious mind and just as we dream in pictures, fundamental change emerges from communicating with the unconscious mind in the language it prefers – pictures. When we do, the brain responds immediately.
Personal Growth
How to Wake up Your Inner Psychotherapist
“Change is as inexorable as time, yet nothing meets with more resistance.”
Benjamin Disraeli
People seek personal growth for many reasons, such as: self-esteem, spirituality, success, and individual power. We want to feel good, find the meaning of life, become free of the past, and have good relationships. The difficulty has long been how to achieve these goals. The good news is that our bodies are way smarter than we thought they were; our brains are hard wired with a brilliant learning program that gives us a simple (not easy) way to achieve these goals. The instruction manual for this DNA- based learning program comes from quantum psychology, which is a synthesis of Eastern philosophy and Western science, especially quantum mechanics. Like using jumper cables to start a stalled engine, quantum psychology tells us how to jump start our psychological evolution.
Many of us have tried a variety of ways to achieve personal growth, such as yoga, meditation, and talking therapy. Interestingly enough, both in theory 
and practice, quantum psychology incorporates the fundamentals of these practices.
For example, mediation teaches us how to observe our thoughts. When you practice quantum techniques, you will utilize a psychological function of pure awareness, a personal Observer, who is free of beliefs, emotions or desires. Like a television camera, your Observer simply observes – what is. As Einstein explained, the presence of the observer influences change. When you put your Observer to work observing your thoughts, feelings, and behavior, your Observer influences changes in you, at the level of transformation.
Yoga bridges the gap between mind and body; quantum techniques bridge this gap using our emotional responses, which originate in the body. The evolutionary process gave us emotions for a good reason: they constitute a crucial, information- generating feedback system, which includes guiding personal growth. Negative emotional responses, such as anger, tell us that we have a problem; positive emotional responses, such as feeling good, tell us when we have solved it. Your neutral Observer notices your emotional responses to events in your everyday life and responds: “Hmm, that’s interesting. “
As far as talking therapy goes, when you practice quantum techniques, you will have a conversation with – yourself. You will establish a dialogue between your conscious and unconscious mind, using the language your unconscious mind prefers – pictures. When you do, your brain responds immediately and produces immediate, positive changes. Your Observer notices the pictures that emerge from your unconscious mind, notices the new abilities you acquire as you progress, and responds: “Hmm, that’s interesting.” › Continue reading
