Is this for you?You have a higher potential, and, right now, as you read these words, your body is urging you to access it. That’s because achieving higher consciousness, or becoming “enlightened,” as some people prefer to call it, represents a normal stage of growth and development. If you have not already achieved this state, this book will tell you how you can be your own therapist-teacher-guru and access your higher potential.
Quantum psychology, which combines Eastern philosophy and Western science, provides the theoretical foundation for this book. Based on these principles, especially those associated with quantum mechanics, this book proposes a system of personal growth that is simple but not easy. The work consists of the practice of a few techniques that produce rapid, fundamental change, which can be best described by the words “transcendence” and “transformation.” Think of the people whom you admire most—your personal role models and historical heroes. Since we all belong to the same species, your human potential is no different from theirs. Your higher potentialWhen you access your higher potential, you will achieve a state of being that removes the fear that so many people feel in response to a world that is changing at breakneck speed. Like the still eye of a hurricane, in the midst of turmoil, you will experience an inner calm, which is independent of external events. Whether you should undertake this work only you can know. I could encourage you by saying that until we achieve a level of consciousness that includes our higher potential, we experience an existential separation from the environment so severe, we are like prisoners living in solitary confinement. I could tell you that the abilities that characterize higher consciousness, such as individual power, insight, and compassion are the solution to most of the problems we face in our everyday lives. However, success on the Quantum Path requires hard work, commitment, and the courage to risk the unknown. Therefore, the decision to undertake this work requires careful consideration. What you do mattersWhat humanity needs now is the wisdom, courage, and compassion that accompany higher consciousness. If you have not achieved at least a beginning level of this state, a basic premise of this book is that you can do so in a relatively short amount of time. As your consciousness expands, you will find that your interests naturally expand beyond your individual concerns to include the greater good, and what you will want to do, and how you will do it, will become apparent to you. No matter where you live on this planet, perhaps you will be someone whose small actions are magnified and have big effects. However, great or small, given that everything in the universe is interconnected—what you do matters. |
