Chaos • Alignment • Synchronicity • Source

My post grad work was in the field of metaphysics; you know, all that "woo-woo" stuff. However, I have lately been seduced deeper and deeper into the newest thoughts by leaders in the realm of quantum-physics and how the two fields parallel, indeed overlap, each other.

Knowing that there are a lot of creative thinkers reading my posts, many of whom have shared ideas that actually go all the way back to the age of New Thought and the writers that made it popular, here is how I would explain Consciousness-Driven Phenomenon to a fifth grader:

Imagine this:

You are playing hide and seek. Your little brother is hiding under a blanket. Right now, you do not know where he is for sure. But when you look under the blanket, well: poof! There he is. Now you know, and suddenly everything is different. You are not guessing anymore. You saw it. That moment of looking changed the game.

That is kind of what scientists noticed when they started looking at tiny things, like particles of light (called photons) or bits of energy (called electrons). When no one is looking, those tiny things act all fuzzy and weird; like they are everywhere at once (like your brother might be in any hiding place). But when someone looks or measures them: snap! They choose just one place to be. Like the particle was waiting to decide until someone was watching.

Now, here is the cool part:

Some scientists think this means that our mind, our very consciousness, helps decide what is real. That maybe the world is kind of like a video game that does not fully “load” bits you need until your character player is in or near that part of the game. When you look, think, or even expect something, your attention might actually help shape what is, and what happens.

So, what is Consciousness-Driven Phenomenon?

It is the idea that:

What you think, feel, or pay attention to might help decide how things happen in the world.

Like magic; but maybe real!

And why does it matter?

Because it means your thoughts and choices could be more powerful than you ever imagined. So, always be careful what you think…You might just be helping create it.

"You are what you think," is not just woo-woo any more; it is science. And science is no longer what you think. Or is it?
