On the morning of May 29th, I woke up from a good night’s sleep
with a sense of urgency to immediately write down some ideas that came to
mind just as I was waking up. I intuited these ideas were in response to my
ongoing open-ended questions about the nature of reality. Groggily, I got
out of bed, walked over to and sat down at my desk, and began filling four
index cards with ideas.
"Most of what we call consciousness operates in a subconscious
manner," I wrote on one side of an index card, flipping it over to add
further details about how conscious will moves us through classical
physical reality, and subconscious choices move us through quantum reality
in which “I” am not a single operator, but rather a
multitude of unified subsystems working together as “I
am” awareness.
"Consciousness is primary and non-material,” began the
second card, with additional information on the back. I filled out four
index cards front and back with insights, and found myself immediately
longing to find scientific researchers who are thinking along these lines.
Metaphysical ideas are great, but I feel happiest when able to share such
ideas right alongside scientific evidence that supports their premises.
Though I wracked my brain, no scientists came to mind who are writing about
levels of consciousness that communicates up, down, and across with one
another, and a cursory internet search turned up nothing. I filed my note
cards safely away for another day, confident that at some point
I’d chance upon scientific research providing some kind of
theory and evidence along these lines.
The very next day, on Friday, May 30th, I was excited to attend another in
an on-going series of exciting talks at UC Berkeley through Foundations
of Mind. Nothing could have prepared me for the electric shock absolute
astonishment I felt when I saw and heard one of the speakers, theoretical
neuroscientist Tony Bell, began his talk about how brains probably work by
stating,
“Biological order comes from
information flows, up and down levels via emergence and
submergence.”
WOW! I was stunned to see that in Tony Bell’s
concept of levels, it is clear that our brains consist of networks of
neurons, open to the environment, that communicate amongst themselves and
also through the networks of synapses they are composed of, which in turn
communicate through networks of floppy macromolecules, and so on. Tony Bell
further asserted,
”There is no such thing as
noise.”
Bell explained that there are no levels in biological
systems that autonomously compute, but rather there exist mesoscopic
junctions. The main operational principle in our brains and all living
matter is what Bell calls Level Switching Networks, where emergence and
submergence are constantly happening all the time.
In addition to the joy I felt from experiencing the delightful
synchronicity of my one day wishing to find a theoretical neuroscientist
who could provide scientific validation to the notion of levels of
communication operating in consciousness and the next day hearing exactly
such a theory. I was thrilled with the significance of what such levels of
emergence and submergence imply. The idea that we are constantly connecting
with levels of consciousness helps answer the deceptively simple, yet
fiendishly challenging question, Who am I? There are many selves
within each of us, as at times we may think of ourselves as being our
physical body, at other times our role in our community, or at other times
as being awareness.
The fact that I so often find exactly what I seek within a day of longing
for it, no matter how seemingly unlikely such wishes may be demonstrates to
me how these levels of communication are constantly operating not just
inside of me, but also between me and everything else. The fact that such
seemingly miraculous shifts in reality typically occur after
I’ve been meditating validates for me that meditation is an
excellent way to literally "shift gears" between physical realities,
enabling me to “shift up” to a higher level of
awareness of self. By entering a meditative blissful, grounded, energized
daydream state while feeling genuine desire for whatever I know I need, I
connect with whatever or whoever that might be. Such is the feeling of
living a waking dream, of living lucidly with the realization that my very
sense of "I am” consciousness is awake in the form of
identifying with conscious moving between various possible realities and
levels of self.

22 June 2014 7 pm - 8 pm PT Cynthia Sue Larson on Researcher’s Radio Show
Cynthia talks with Researchers Radio hosts Joe Kiernan and Dr. John Ilias
about quantum jumps, describing scientific research in the fields of
medicine, physics, biology, psychology and sociology that come together to
provide fresh new insights and practical information about how we most
likely live in a multiverse, and what it means to have many possible You's
and many possible Me's. Thanks to quantum effects occurring at the
macroscopic level in what scientists increasingly agree appears to be a
holographic multiverse, we experience quantum behaviors such as
entanglement, coherence, teleportation, and superposition of states in our
everyday lives. http://www.freedomslips.com/hifihome/schedule.htm
5 July 2014 2 pm - 3:30 pm PT Evidence of Quantum Reality Selection in Daily Life
UC Santa Cruz
College VIII, Koshland Drive
Santa Cruz, CA
A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that quantum phenomena are
not only occurring on the tiny microscopic quantum scale. Natural systems
show clear signs of preferring quantum methods for such processes as:
photosynthesis, avian navigation, and olfaction (our sense of smell). The
implication of this growing body of interdisciplinary research suggests
that consciousness is pervasive and primary in influencing events, and that
we select between parallel worlds in a holographic multiverse. http://www.dowserswestcoast.org
9 July 2014 12 pm - 1 pm PT Cynthia Sue Larson on Bringing Inspiration to Earth
Cynthia Sue Larson talks with Robert Sharpe about her best-selling book,
"Quantum Jumps," and the way reality literally shifts as we quantum jump
between parallel worlds. Cynthia shares life-changing, game-changing
information that can improve your life, based on her research and
investigations into the way consciousness changes the physical world. http://biteradio.me/

Andy Myers Interviews Cynthia Sue Larson
I've got some really exciting news! Psychic Medium Andy Myers has
interviewed me, asking questions about time shifts and quantum jumps, and
features me in his first "Believe Radio Network" show as their very first
guest! Andy and I first met at a time travel conference, so it makes
perfect sense that our conversation would naturally move in that general
direction. http://ow.ly/xIwb5
Cynthia Sue Larson on the Self Improvement Show
Did you get a chance to hear this interview when it aired? If not, I think
you’ll really love this one, because Irene Conlan shares some of
her reality shift and quantum jump experiences that happened shortly after
she began thinking about this topic. Irene talks about how when she needed
a spoon to eat dessert, all she had in the drawer were soup spoons, yet a
short while later when she made some soup, all she had were teaspoons! Yes,
reality shifts really can be every bit as surprising and unpredictable as
that, to help keep us on our toes! Come Quantum Jump with me & Dr. Irene
Conlan on The Self Improvement Show! http://bit.ly/Rl0pwt
30 Odd Minutes:
Mission 161 - Reality Shifts with Cynthia Sue Larson
In Mission 161 Jeff Belanger and crew explore reality shifts and Quantum
Jumps with Cynthia Sue Larson. Have you ever been running late and wished
you could slow down time? Have you ever thought a black cloud was hanging
over your head and everything was going wrong? Maybe it is all your fault?
What if changing your outlook and intent could change the entire universe
around you? Larson joins us to tell us it's possible. She has a degree in
physics, an MBA, and is a Doctor of Divinity, and tonight we explore her
book: Quantum Jumps: An Extraordinary Science of Happiness. Dr. Dreck stops
by to teach us sometimes there's no place like your own reality.

The Power of Attention: Fine-Tuning Our Focus
Have you ever experienced such a remarkable series of responses to your
thoughts and feelings that it felt like the universe was engaged in a
conversation with you? In this video, I describe going on a meditative walk
one day, thinking how nice it would be to (1) know whether physics
professor Trilling lived at a particular house, (2) get a chance to know
whether professor Trilling is still alive and well, and (3) have the
opportunity to thank professor Trilling and let him know how appreciated he
is for the classes he taught at UC Berkeley so many years earlier.
Thanks to our dog having a fascination and love for goats, and due to the
remarkable placement of a goat sculpture next door to where professor
Trilling indeed lives; everything wished for one morning came true one
short day later.
This sort of "coincidence" occurs frequently when entertaining thoughts
during meditative, relaxed, energized states of mind in which I feel
detached from any concerns, fears, worries and doubts about life, and am
focused in blissful meditative awareness on this present moment here and
now. Often, whatever thoughts come to mind during such times come into
reality shortly thereafter, in what feels like living a waking lucid dream
or "lucid living," as it's described in the book, "Reality Shifts: When
Consciousness Changes the Physical World." www.RealityShifts.com
Fine-tuning our focus of attention thus becomes a skill of remarkable
influence and meaning, as the seemingly simple act of focusing awareness is
capable of making connections through vast unseen realms, across multitudes
of parallel worlds of possibility. From our vantage point, the world still
appears "normal," and life goes on; yet at some point in the near future,
chances are very good we'll see evidence of the direction we chose to focus
on just now. At such times, we might be witnessing evidence that we live in
a holographic multiverse, which is not the multiverse you may have heard of
in which each parallel universe is completely separate from all others, but
instead is a multiverse of interconnected possibilities. To be alive in
such a multiverse is in some very real sense to be aware of other possible
me's and other possible you's to have a sense of imagination that we might
be happier, healthier, or more creatively involved, for example, than we
currently are; and that we can make quantum jumps to those realities.
www.QuantumJumps.com
These kinds of jumps are part of our everyday normal experience of life in
a reality that is primarily quantum in nature—though what we
often speak about being most real is the material reality of classical
physics, until such time as we remember some of the most important "things"
aren't things at all. Love is one of those completely unmeasurable "things"
that has no part in classical material physics, just as consciousness is
not considered necessary either. Though anyone who has ever fallen in love,
had a child, or experienced the death of a loved one will surely agree that
a scientific explanation for reality that does not include such things is
obviously incomplete.

Paranormal Connection:
Quantum Jumps with Cynthia Sue Larson, Part 1 of 2
Dänna Dennis Wilberg interviews Cynthia Sue Larson about quantum
jumps, quantum physics, and how you can benefit from fundamental properties
of quantum physics for greater happiness. Cynthia talks about what we mean
by a superposition of states, and describes the experiment involving
Schrodinger’s cat. Cynthia explains how some exciting scientific
studies and findings inspired her to write “Quantum
Jumps,” outlining the idea we live in a holographic multiverse
where there are ways to connect between parallel universes. Recent evidence
of quantum behavior happening on the macroscopic scale has been discovered
in green sulphur bacteria. Cynthia explains what it means to have entered
the new Quantum Age, with quantum computing, quantum algorithms, and new
quantum ways of thought. Discover useful aspects of some of the seemingly
strange behaviors and properties from the quantum realm, such as the
significance of the Placebo Effect, what it means to have many possible
Me’s and You’s, and find out some amazing ways that
quantum jumps can make a difference for you in this half-hour interview.

Paranormal Connection:
Quantum Jumps with Cynthia Sue Larson, Part 2 of 2
Dänna Dennis Wilberg interviews Cynthia Sue Larson, talking about
reality shifts, quantum jumps, quantum physics, and how our thoughts and
feelings change the physical world. You are consciousness, and can
experience different realities by identifying yourself with being
consciousness, rather than merely a physical being. We all experience the
benefits of healing when we experience the wonderful sensation of suddenly
getting over a cold, or feeling better when someone kissed an injury and we
felt better. Cynthia talks about real-life healing experiences people have
had in which they moved from injured or sick realities healthy ones, and
describes three essential steps for making successful quantum jumps. Anita
Moorjani discovered she did not have to fear anything, and accessed an
awareness of being able to choose between a wide number of possible
realities. Find out why lucid dreamers and Near-Death Experiencers tend to
experience some of the most remarkable reality shifts and quantum jumps,
and what you can do to jump into your best possible life.

Coffee Grinder Found and Reconnecting with Old
Friend
Alma
England, UK
I had been looking for a coffee grinder in a charity shop off and on for
weeks. Whilst in Scotland over Easter, we were driving to St Andrew's from
Edinburgh, and stopping in coastal towns along the way. When we reached one
town, we decided to walk along the high street, with me popping in to look
at shops. We were crossing a street when I suddenly said to my husband,
"Oh, I am looking for a coffee grinder. Let me just pop in that charity
shop!" It was on a side street, and my husband was getting bored, though he
went with me grudgingly. AND—there it was, on display in the
shop window! And it was a good brand, and nearly new! We were both left
wordless! (It only cost £3.00=$5.00, when the normal cost is about
$50.00!)
Out of the blue, I emailed a friend I met four years ago in a course. I
hadn’t heard from her in months. I knew she'd had money problems
and I suddenly thought about her. I got an email from her the following
week. She explained that she had a new email address as her old one had
been disconnected some months back and with that she lost all her email
addresses, and she was emailing me from her new address, but only because
she had found the post it note I had originally given her with my email
address four years ago whilst in the course!
She, of course never received my email, but she got in touch with me only
because she found a note with my details on it by chance and thought to get
in touch with me!
It makes me feel good when these things happen, and I’ve become
more mindful. In recent months, there have been other examples which is
what has caught my attention and made me more mindful, and also has made me
feel sustained. I've come across books that clearly I am meant to read as I
go through changes and open up to learning and receiving and allowing,
without fear.
Note from Cynthia: I love these first-hand reports that so
beautifully demonstrate the interconnectedness between you and who and what
you most love and appreciate--coffee grinder & reconnecting with an old
friend! Experiences like these serve to remind us all that we are not ever
truly alone, nor are we ever disconnected. Instead we are part of a vast
network that includes everyone and everything we've ever loved and cared
about before, everyone and everything we love now, and everyone and
everything we will ever love. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Since i got conscious of the fact that reality shifts do exist , i shift
more times. Ive noticed when DONT want something to be around me , and i
start hating it , it just get worse. When you stay happy and LOVE YOURSELF
and your own peace, and don’t give attention to negative things
(what’s the point anyways?) All the bad things disappear. There
was this annoying bird whistling to loud and when I calmed down and
realized that it doesn’t bother me that much anyway, and started
enjoying myself, it went away. This happened three times that morning! I
also notice lately when something annoying finally gets out of my way
I’ve got this very strong feeling almost deja vu like that the
annoying thing was never there in the first place!
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for making such a good point about the
importance about not getting into a hateful emotional space, because things
really do seem to get worse that way, and of course making time to meditate
and get into a really happy, loving emotional state brings about immediate
good reality shifts, for sure!
Smaller, Drier
McDonald’s Quarter Pounder
Joanna
The Netherlands
I had a reality shift with Mcdonald’s. It had been three
years since I’d eaten there when I recently ordered the "quarter
pounder" and found it was totally different than in the past. It was twice
as small, and in a way not as juicy as it used to be. I asked my mom, and
she said she noticed the same thing, and advised me to return it. So, I
went to the order counter, spoke to the manager, and he told me that
“It’s always been the same,” for like 10
years since he worked there. So I went home, googled to see if some people
in Holland have noticed the same issue, but couldn’t find anyone
having noticed a difference. Now I’ve been through a lot of
drama in three years, but in a way it made me a better, different person
since I’ve learned what I truly want in life. Perhaps that drama
shifted me to a different reality.
Note from Cynthia: You're right about the truly bizarre factor in
food offerings being different, because food is one of those things most of
us humans take seriously, and really pay close attention to. Seeing a
drier, smaller version of hamburger sounds quite remarkable! It seems that
you surely can't be the only person noticing this particular change; it's
possible you'll see other posts about it in the future. And I can't help
wondering if when you get into a happy enough state of mind you may find
yourself back in a reality with the juicier, bigger Quarter Pounders
again!
Hello Cynthia,
I am in a serious rut in my life as a college student I regret not making
better study choices in the past which cause my grades to be lower than
what I truly want them to be. How can change my past? Helpful tips or
anything that can help me? I am seriously freaking out here.
Thank you.
-- Taylor
Dearest Taylor,
While it is possible to change the past, I suggest playing the metaphorical
ball in life where it lies; meaning, making the best of current situations.
One thing you can do besides daily meditation and focusing on what went
well today that you had something to do with (and what that something was),
is to recognize that you're now choosing "Easy World, where everything is
easy." Life doesn't need to feel stressful or hard, and things can get
better and better.
Make a commitment to yourself to learn from what's happened so far, and
promise yourself you're now committed to always doing your very best, at
the same time as you open your mind to the possibility that after making
such commitments, you're all set to see whatever degree of miraculous
changes to the past might happen to occur.
Stay open-minded, and keep asking, "How good can it get?" and really mean
it that you want to find out!
lots of love and best wishes,
-- Cynthia
Is Quantum Jumps the best book to get
started on Quantum Jumping? Is this book suitable for a beginner?
-- Anthony
Dear Anthony, Quantum Jumps is perfect for beginners!
-- Cynthia
Hi Cynthia,
There’s a theory in quantum mechanics that, when a particle
travels from point A to point B, it’s actually taking all
possible paths, and the apparently straight-line trajectory from A to B is
the net result. (more technically, it’s each path weighted by
its probability, with most possible paths crossed out by their opposite
number.)
I’ve wondered if the trajectory of our own lives is like that.
Is where we are in life the net result of all the + and –
possibilities, most of which cancel each other out?
What if quantum jumping is a way to increase the probability of the
positive outcomes and reduce the probability of the negative ones? Instead
of the positives being mostly canceled out by the negatives, the positives
prevail and take us onto a new and better trajectory.
-- Greg
Dear Greg,
It seems quite possible that quantum jumping assists us in making better,
more intelligent, more conscious choices amongst a multitude of possible
realities. We can contemplate the set of all of our choices as representing
all the universes of possibility that exist, and envision our sense of "I
am" as being consciousness, free to explore via conscious choice through
this multitude of possibilities. In a sense, none of the physical realities
are thus the "real reality," but rather the complete set of all possible
realities taken together as one holographic multiverse comprises all that
is.
With love and thanks,
-- Cynthia
Hi Cynthia,
Hi wanted to ask if you could create a video for facebook that shows how to
ground ourselves, protect our aura and connect to source each day and set
the intention that these things stay in place all day.
Love,
-- Jen
Dear Jen,
I have created some meditation videos having to do with grounding and
protecting our auras, such as this one which I recommend as a most helpful
daily practice to keep one's energy in optimal condition:
This video above contains the four steps I consider most essential that
everyone should do each day to ensure best energetic health through
grounding, sealing the aura, clearing the cords, and receiving angelic
assistance.
lots of love,
-- Cynthia

Axiogenesis:
An Essay in Metaphysical Optimalism
by Nicholas Rescher An Essential Foundation for Understanding Reality and
Consciousness http://amzn.to/1lkBVga
At this juncture in history in which physicists seek to
unify the physics of the very large with physics of the very small, and
theories for reality involving consciousness abound, I'm refreshed and
invigorated to read a thoughtful treatise that lays the cognitive framework
by which we can place such questions and possibilities in best perspective.
Rescher addresses the subject of intelligent design from a logical,
philosophical perspective, inviting readers to thoughtfully consider some
of the biggest metaphysical questions.
Dr. Rescher's book, "Axiogenesis," addresses the philosophy behind what is
sometimes popularly referred to as the "fine-tuned universe" which brings
attention to the fact that our planet and universe is astonishingly
well-suited for life. Odds against our world coming into existence
completely at random appear to be statistically improbable, leading some
current scientists to suggest our universe may exist in a multiverse.
Axiogenesis presents a complete philosophical framework for intelligent
consideration of why anything exists at all, citing Plato and Leibnitz as
early proponents of optimalism.
Rescher answers G.W. Leibniz's question, "Why is there anything at all?"
seeks an ultimate explanation from the realm of possibilities, in which
various theoretical possibilities are ruled out until at last only one
privileged alternative remains. And in this quest to answer the ultimate
hard question, Rescher begins Axiogenesis by explaining that what we are
truly seeking is nothing less than an explanation for the emergence of a
domain of existents from an existentially empty realm of a nonempty world.
A quest for ultimate answers demands holism, and the basic tenet of
optimalism is such that the prevailing world order is the best that can be
actualized, and the best possible order exists because that's for the best.
There is admittedly a kind of self-validation at work here, yet that is
precisely what makes sense in a world where Nature is clearly the great
optimizer, dealing in superlatives so that maximum effects are achieved
with minimum energy.
Rescher's style of writing is concise, clear, and entertaining, including
such lively quotes as King Alfonzo X's remark when studying the Plolemaic
system of astronomy, "If the Lord Almighty had consulted me before
embarking on his creation, I would have recommended something simpler." I
especially enjoyed reading quotes from many of the philosophers and
scientists Rescher references in Axiogenesis, including: Plato, Leibniz,
and Gödel.
In an optimal world, Axiogenesis would be required reading for all
scientists, in order that the real "hard problem" of why there is anything
at all gets the proper attention it deserves, with an answer that finds
increasing relevance as we enter the Quantum Age.
In Your Own Hands:
New Hope for People with Chronic Medical Conditions; Mindfulness-Based
Practices for Mastery and Wellbeing
by Larry Berkelhammer Excellent Guide to Mindful Mastery
and Wellbeing http://amzn.to/1mwsgpt
IN OUR OWN HANDS is a remarkable resource for people seeking
the best way to live with chronic illness. Berkelhammer shares effective
techniques that he's found to substantially improve his quality of life,
sharing a wealth of current scientific research and findings that are well
beyond the scope of what most medical doctors provide for their patients.
Organized in four parts, the first half of IN YOUR OWN HANDS starts out
describing mastery and wellbeing, explaining how and why a practice of
mindfulness is especially valuable for improving one's health. The second
half of the book explores the importance of how well the choices we make
are aligned with our values, providing a great deal of tips and suggestions
for ways we can better practice helpful qualities such as: gratitude,
loving self-care, self-acceptance, self-expression, meaning and purpose,
service to others, relationships, and humor.
I'm tremendously impressed with the way IN YOUR OWN HANDS is structured,
and with the way it starts by indicating the kinds of unhealthy mental
attitudes many people inadvertently and unwittingly participate in as a
matter of habit. For example, when discussing the hazards associated with
cognitive fusion, in which we associate something (such as a noise, sight,
or smell) with another environmental stimulus (such as medicine or a
treatment of some kind), Berkelhammer shares a fascinating real-life
account of laboratory mice who died of pneumonia after having been exposed
to camphor. Their immune systems were compromised as if the camphor was
being combined with psychophosphamite, a chemical that compromises the
immune system. The takeaway lesson is made quite dramatically in this
example that when we practice mindfulness, we can reduce the number of ways
we inadvertently stress ourselves thanks to learned associations between a
number of factors.
I especially love the way Berkelhammer describes the three major components
of mindfulness as: observing the experience, describing the experience, and
participating in the present experience. Berkelhammer provides ways readers
can practice mindfulness in daily life through something as simple as
becoming conscious of making choices as often as possible, and increasing
the number of conscious choices you make that are harmonious with your
personal values.
IN YOUR OWN HANDS is packed with research, practical tips and suggestions,
and wonderful ways of becoming and staying mindful in daily life that will
help all readers--not just those currently suffering from chronic health
challenges. Highly recommended!
