Playing the Quantum Field - Brenda Anderson

Playing the Quantum Field Brenda Anderson

Have you ever experienced a sudden breakthrough? You know that feeling—when what you picture in your head actually happens, and you want to pinch yourself because you can’t believe it’s real? Or you have a moment of clarity, and your biggest problem suddenly disappears? Whether you knew it or not, you were playing in the quantum field, the universal force that connects everything and everyone.

You have far more power than you realize. Think of the quantum field as a cosmic QVC Shopping Network: Your thoughts place the order and the field delivers it. Instead of working harder to achieve your goals, your choices and thoughts can become the beacons that attract what you want and the answers find you.

Ten specific energetic choices, from "black hole" (low energy) to "breakthrough" (high energy), make up your Energy Spectrum. This range of energy options governs your daily decisions and the results they create. Let’s say you are having an argument with your spouse. Stop and notice where you are on the Energy Spectrum. Moving from emotion to observation will instantly connect you with the transformative power of the field and produces a result vastly different than you anticipated when the argument began. Instead of going down a familiar low-energy path, thinking, He’s not hearing me or He’s not paying attention, notice that there’s a pattern when you argue with your spouse. Moving from emotion to observation leads to emotional mastery and will help you fulfill your dreams and desires. When you stop repeating familiar patterns, you can overcome unproductive, addictive habits.

If you’d like more tangible visualizations of playing in the quantum field, begin by embracing the idea of multiple realities. Put simply, in every situation, your thoughts have the power to create the reality you want. Don’t get locked into just one of them. For example, when someone does not return your call, you probably jump to a single conclusion (He’s not interested; She’s mad at me; They’re too busy to make time for me). Instead, imagine at least one more possibility (Their voicemail isn’t working; They have a hectic schedule). The act of opening up to other possible realities enables you to consciously tap the potential of the field.

Here’s an example of how I’ve applied this concept, with a memorable result:

On a business trip last year, I arrived in Beijing after an extremely long flight and felt exhausted. I went to the hotel gym to exercise and wake up and noticed two men who didn’t fit in at all. The stiff, serious way they carried themselves seemed out of place. After my workout, I immediately went into a dinner, where someone mentioned that former President Bill Clinton was staying at our hotel.

“Oh, I’d love to meet him!” I said. “Yeah, right,” my colleagues responded. “He’s protected so much, you don’t have a chance.”

I believed I had more than a chance if I carefully chose my reality. One of the low-energy realities I noticed that evening was a head trip that sounded like, I’m tired and I want to go to bed. Another was, I look like hell. I’m not fit to meet a president. I knew that low-energy choices like these can become a magnet for my worst fears instead of my biggest dreams. So, I suspended judgment on myself, lightened up, and chose a reality that had far higher energy.

As we left the dinner and my colleagues turned toward their rooms, I headed in the other direction. “Where are you going?” the others shouted after me. “To meet President Clinton,” I replied. They all laughed and said good night.

I walked down the hallway and came upon a ballroom. I didn’t realize it just then, but President Clinton was inside, wrapping up a speech. The mystery men from the gym exited the ballroom and moved toward the elevators. I realized then that they were Secret Service agents and knew the president would follow. As I waited, I kept choosing the reality that I would meet him.

Sure enough, when he emerged, he looked around and made eye contact with me, probably because I was one of few Americans in the room and at least six inches taller than everyone else. He moved through the crowd and came over. The Secret Service agents took our photo and kept other people from interrupting us. We talked for a few minutes.

You can imagine my delight the next morning when I greeted my colleagues with, “Guess who I met last night?”

When you play the field, anything is possible. Understanding which reality you’re in helps you recalibrate and make a more powerful choice, which allows you to get out of a comfort zone or to break a lifelong pattern. Every day, we are bombarded by low-energy, fear-based messages, which many people are lulled into thinking is the only reality. You don’t need to live this way anymore.

Playing the quantum field is a new way of life that’s powerful and practical and will turn your view of “how it is” upside down and inside out. Now that you’ve glimpsed what’s possible, won’t you please come out and play?
