Jean Houston: Unlocking Our Quantum Powers
Jean Houston: Yes, and the deeper knowledge of this, the kind taken not only into our minds, but into our hearts, our spirits and our souls, can radically change us and move us into a new evolutionary development for humankind. And this new level of development brings us into our own inherent abilities for experiencing what I’m calling the “Quantum Self” and the “Quantum Mind,” which are part of my Quantum Powers Training.
I’ve closely studied ancient Hindu and Buddhist cultures with a variety of practices that can bring us into greater resonance with this deeper reality, and they are remarkably similar to those findings on the frontiers of Quantum Physics. I have discovered—in both ancient texts and shamanic practices—that consciousness is central to the very nature of reality in those cultures. In fact, my study of Eastern, Western, and indigenous philosophies and world-views is beginning to provide clear keys and practices that can not only deliver us from our chronic woes, but also bring us to our higher purpose as a member of the Universe in evolution. And all of this gives us the basis for a whole new story that is at once very ancient and ever new.
OMTimes: What is that new story?
Jean Houston: To put it in terms of the new physics, it is the reality that the observer affects the things observed. And this is the foundation of our Quantum Powers and the art and science of manifestation: as viewed, so appears.
OMTimes: That’s a truly exciting idea.
Jean Houston: Indeed it is, and it gives us a perspective on the nature of reality and the nature of consciousness that could well affect much of our human agenda in science, theology, philosophy, mythology, psychology and relationship—the entire spectrum of our human condition from here forward. We’re being urged by the Earth and the Universe toward a new stage of growth, and we are waking up to the realization that we can become partners in creation, stewards of the Earth’s well-being, and conscious participants in the cosmic epic of evolution. As ancient peoples have been telling us all along, this story is bigger than all of us, and it desires our engagement, our love and our commitment.
