Quantum Mechanics & Your Authentic Potential

Posted on: August 20, 2010by Dr Kim Dr Hil

Everything is energy. When you look through the lens of a quantum microscope you see beyond the physical and into the world of the subatomic, the Zero Point Field. From molecules to atoms to subatomic particles, science demonstrates the causal field of life. What happens in here (Zero Point Field) leads to what happens out there. In the world of the subatomic everything is literally vibrating with life energy. From this viewpoint there really is no matter as we know it. There is only energy. In fact when broken down into finite components it is said that energy exceeds matter by a factor of 10 to the 40th degree. This is 1 followed by 40 zeros. This is an incredible amount of energy. What does this mean to you? Ultimately this is a massive amount of untapped potential that could be making a difference in your life.

Patterns of Thinking, Feeling & Imagining

How do you tap into this reservoir of authentic potential? Given your actions are the result of your decision making process, your mind is your real power center. Consequently, your largest energy generating opportunities exist at the level of thoughts and emotions. Your actions are far less powerful than the patterns of thinking, feeling and imagining that fuel them.

Are your patterns of thinking, feeling and imagining helping you create purpose, passion and life satisfaction?

Power of the Mind

Dr. Masuro Emoto conducted breakthrough research demonstrating the power of the mind. His research centers around the ability of thought (intention) to effect water. Water is an ideal substance to test the power of positive and negative energy given it is highly sensitive to absorbing energy. In brief his research involves bottles of water labeled with words and phrases such as love, gratitude, illness and worry. After a designated time period, the water is then frozen and its molecular structure is observed under a microscope. The results are astonishing. The molecular structure of water labeled with positive thoughts looks significantly different than the water labeled with negative thoughts. The positive thoughts led to shapes that are light crystalline like perfect snowflakes while the negative thoughts led to unformed, dark shapes. One obvious conclusion of this research is that given that your body is primarily comprised of water, your mind has incredible power to influence your physical and emotional well-being.
