How Good Can it Get?
Cynthia Sue Larson
Relating to
the Divine
"The more I study science, the more I
believe in God."
-- Albert Einstein
One of the things I find fascinating as
consciousness has enveigled it's way into quantum physics is the way the
idea of God is often required, even if not named as such, for papers
attempting to unify quantum with classical physics. We truly live in
interesting times when scientists find a need for a global,
all-encompassing perspective, yet it's considered unfashionable,
professional suicide, or politically insensitive or incorrect to say the
word “God.”
Perhaps some of the reason the word “God” arrives
with such baggage has more to do with the way people deal with that idea
and that word, than any intrinsic meaning in the word itself. It is in our
relationship to God, and what the divine means to us where we find
ourselves potentially bristling at what others have to say on this topic,
or how we feel they are behaving because of their beliefs. So we end up
with physics papers mentioning “the census taker” or
other similar terms in the meantime.
With attempts to bring together quantum and classical physics comes an
inevitable realization of a need for recognition of a unified fundamental
consciousness. And when we are blessed with moments of spiritual awareness
and epiphany, we can gain a sense of choosing to be in alignment with the
Divine. Through such connection, we can experience miraculous shifts in
reality, though in my experience the greatest blessing is simply in
relating to the Divine.
This month, I enjoyed giving a talk on the Mandela Effect, Reality Shifts,
and Quantum Jumps to the IONS Petaluma group. We enjoyed a lively
discussion about what might be the cause of what seems to be a rather rapid
rise in reports of Mandela Effects, reality shifts and quantum
jumps—including the rather astonishing recent news that this
past year the world has experienced a reality shift of epic proportion that
appears to have touched every single one of the 7.57 billion people in the
world.
What is this change that left no person on Earth untouched, you wonder?
It's something most of us have on the inside: our kidneys. What appears to
have changed is: the position of the kidneys.
Before going to check to see where the kidneys are in the human body, just
ask yourself where you remember them being. If you have absolutely no idea,
then ask yourself where a boxer would be striking if he or she were
executing a “kidney punch.” Such blows are considered
illegal, for the reason they can seriously injure a person.
If you're now thinking the kidneys must be situated in the lower back, and
that's why they've been considered vulnerable to being hit or kicked, and
this is why such strikes are illegal, that's what I remember, too. Now it
seems the kidneys in all humans are positioned quite a bit higher, no
longer in the lower back.
When I announced this recent development to The Awareness Group last month,
one member of the audience exclaimed she'd just been to the doctor the
other day for a kidney examination, as she'd done so many times before, and
she asked the doctor what he was doing when began probing with his fingers
under her rib cage. He'd said he was palpating her kidneys, and that was so
confusing to her, since for years she'd had many kidney exams and doctors
had never palpated so high in her body for her kidneys before.
I've also heard from another friend who was stunned to see where the
kidneys are now, since they'd been considered a possible cause of abdominal
discomfort back in late 2016, yet now clearly they would never be
considered for causing lower back or lower abdominal pain.
As usual, most people who are closely working with this particular area on
a regular, on-going basis will likely not notice there has been any change
at all. This means if you are a doctor or nurse, or a kidney specialist,
it's much less likely that you'll be “in” on this
global Mandela Effect / reality shift. The reason for that seems to have
something to do with the Quantum Zeno Effect I've discussed before, in
which quantum watched pots stay in whatever state you're initially
observing them in.
I encourage you to keep asking my favorite question, “How good
can it get?” no matter what is transpiring. There is a good
change that by genuinely focusing on this question, and truly wanting to
know, you'll help bring something truly wonderful into being that didn't
exist before.

"I can't thank you enough for your guidance. Before we met I was pretty
negative about myself. I found out in our visit, that the negative energy I
was carrying wasn't mine. It was as if I was infected by another person's
darkness. Thank you thank you thank you... I feel like myself again, which
is reflected in relationships with all people around me."

Cynthia Sue Larson talks with Andy Myers about how we can
talk to our angels and better appreciate their involvement in our lives.
Andy describes winged angels, guardian angels, and some of the
amazing history and stories about real-life encounters with angels. At this
time when a majority of people on Earth believe in angels, it’s
helpful to know how to make connections with them, and
it’s fascinating to discover what spirit guides and guardian
angels do in our lives. Andy talks about what’s required for our
deceased loved ones to become guardian angels, and he describes some
real-life angel encounters.
Andy Myers is a best-selling author, psychic medium and inspirational
speaker who is know for his sincerity, humor, and down-to-earth approach to
spiritual topics. Andy has lectured at numerous prestigious colleges, and
his clients wait up to six months for a private session with
him. Andy’s books include “Flying Paint
Rollers from Heaven,” “Inspiration A to Z,”
and his newest, “Not Your Average Angel
Book.” Andy resides in Omaha, Nebraska with his wife and
daughter. www.AndyMyersOnline.com

Changing Globes
Nathaniel
Cape Coral, Florida, USA
When did globes stop showing a big ice sheet coming from the
North Pole down in to Canada? Here is an old globe with no ice in the
Arctic! And the USSR still there, so the north pole ice cap is gone without
global warming! The date on this globe shows 1979. Odd, but a Professor
thinks I saw maps of the ice age. The thing is that the glaciers of
that era went all the way in to the 50 States whereas what I saw went in to
northern Canada. It was the Arctic circle. Even odder was
that it looked to me like a cake and I would imagine Canada as like a cake
with frosting based on that map.
Note from Cynthia: Wow--what an awesome find! And how totally
bizarre to see such an old globe that's missing the familiar-to-me north
pole ice cap. I remember seeing cartoons of Santa's workshop up at the
north pole with a red and white specially marked pole that said, "North
Pole" up in the snowy north polar ice cap. But here we have such an
old-looking globe, sans north pole ice. I also can relate to the old globes
and maps looking a lot like a frosted cake; I do remember all that white up
at the top of every globe. And now the old globes show... blue expanses of
North pole... water?! Amazing!

This was beautiful and validating. I couldn't wait to tell you, but I've
been so busy! This happened in the spring and now it's fall and I wish I
had a picture!! This year my entire family witnessed our purple iris patch
came up yellow! I interviewed the entire family, both my daughters were
bewildered because they remembered them purple, my husband couldn't say but
also couldn't say we were wrong.
Note from Cynthia:Thank you so very much for writing to let me
know that your irises came up yellow instead of their usual purple this
year! While some flowers are known to change colors if the soil changes in
some way, irises are not one of those kinds of plants. I'm glad you talked
about this with your entire family, and confirmed that you and your
daughters all remember your irises used to always come up purple in
previous years.
Kidneys Have Moved
Brian
Spokane Valley, Washington, USA
I have a 1977 copy of Gray's Anatomy; I am glad I
still have this book as I have lost many others over the years that may
help in the debate of things.(including a college book about the Consumer
Financial Protection Agency which is now the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau!) *A new one I noticed yesterday* Regardless, the book I
still have clearly shows the date of publication, the location of the
kidneys "in the loins", etc... I also included recent internet
information on my research. Some do show the kidneys are now well
within the rib cage! My 1977 book clearly states "in the loins" and
"behind the peritoneum." I hope this helps your research before I
am able to do more. I am glad to help others who suffer from false
memories as I do, or those that remember things as they were (as I do). :)
LOL, so fascinating!
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for sharing your observation of the
1977 copy of Gray's Anatomy that describes the location of kidneys the way
many of us still remember. This kidney reality shift has really been
blowing peoples' minds recently!
Missing Keys
Lili
Lynchburg, Virginia, USA
Thank you so much for your incredible work that I've just
discovered through an interview you did with Regina Meredith on Gaia. Your
website and resources are fascinating, and I am so thrilled to have found
you! I wanted to share an experience with you that echoes some of those on
your website. My husband and I were living in Seattle, WA and I was going
through an intensive outpatient trauma program to heal from PTSD. A side
effect of that was a huge increase in anger, and I would have occasional
outbursts where I would throw things and yell. :( One unfortunate victim of
an outburst was my set of house and mailbox keys that were attached to a
lime green stretchy band and several other keychains. I came in the
apartment upset, and threw my keys toward the hallway closet. After I
settled down about fifteen minutes later, I went back to the doorway to
find them. After searching the entire area, I called my hubby over to help
me look for our only mail key. We looked in all the closets, doorways, and
rooms of our apartment but to no avail. He assured me they would turn up
within the next couple days. I waited, searched again, he searched again,
but to no avail. I ended up paying for a new mail key about a week after
they went missing. We moved out of that apartment about a year later, and I
was sure we would find them, but we packed all of our items and NEVER FOUND
THE KEYS!! It was like they completely vanished out of existence! We still
talk about this anomaly. I think it was a gentle reminder from the universe
to take better care of my things! ;) Many thanks for all you do,
Note from Cynthia: Thank you so much for sharing your experience
with the vanishing mail key! I can certainly appreciate the feeling of
mystification of knowing "there's nowhere that key could possibly have
gone"--yet recognizing you've searched everywhere, and that key simply
vanished. I can also appreciate the sense that there was a kind of message
in that incident, which has had the affect of engaging you in communication
with things in a way you'd likely not ever have done otherwise.
Who is my Hubby?
Ruth
Waco, Texas, USA
I just had a new reality shift--one that made say to
my hubby, “Just who are you?” Tonight a
bug flew near my nose, and yep, my nose bled for a few seconds. That can
happen with bugs, as they carry pollen. No biggie. But what
shocked me with a huge reality shift tonight was that the
hubby said most of the time he had known me (which is around 40 years or
so) I had nosebleeds. That is *definitely* not true for me. I clearly know
what goes on with my own nose. lol. And nope. not true, not
even close. I could not believe it. I have not had an
extremely 'in your face' type reality shift like that one in awhile.
Actually I love it tho as it lets me know, yep, once again, confirmation
that is how life works, we shift all the time.
I've had big ones, really big ones, like geography, anatomy that I
studied in the 90's, different, and much more, but I have not had one that
made me question if my hubby was a pod person or not, lol.
It made me wonder as I explained this one to him that ya know, I
bet more arguments in this world, and misunderstandings would stop if
people just knew they were shifting reality. :) Much love to
everyone.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for sharing your experience
with your husband informing you that most of the time he's known you over
the past 40 years, you've had nose bleeds, while you know for sure that's
definitely not the case. This truly is an 'in-your-face' reality shift, in
the sense that it involves your face, and it reminds me of some previous
reports published in past RealityShifters, in which married people have
noticed some remarkable changes in their spouses from time to time. I agree
with you 100% that there will be a whole lot fewer arguments in the world
when people recognize that reality shifts from time to time, and alternate
histories are completely normal.
Healing Rheumatoid Arthritis
Lili
Lynchburg, Virginia, USA
I hope you're enjoying your weekend!! I forgot to tell you
one other story that your interview with Gaia's Regina Meredith brought to
mind! :) Thank you for sharing your experience regarding your ability to
heal your wound and walk your friend through choosing a "timeline" in which
her leg was never broken. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when I
was about seven years old. The doctors told me it would either go into
remission by the time I was 18 and no longer pose a problem to my body, or
it would get worse, spreading throughout my body, and I would have it
forever. Though I questioned how the doctors knew that, I nevertheless
accepted it. The RA "spread" from just my right knee to both knees, hands,
elbows, wrists, ankles and right hip. I established disability status at
both universities I attended, and unfortunately needed the protection from
discrimination. Almost three years ago now, I completed an intensive
outpatient trauma program for PTSD and began reading all the "alternative
science" books I could get my hands on. That included Deepak Chopra's
"Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul," in which he stated that
genes could be turned on and off. I decided if that's true, I didn't want
RA anymore! :) Fast forward several months later, I saw my rheumatologist
who could find no markers of RA! Astonished, she brought in several other
doctors who ran the same tests and confirmed that though they could see the
skeletal damage via X-rays, my body nor blood showed any sign of the
disease! :D :D I'm currently working on developing a blog and website to
help share this knowledge and promote physical, emotional, and spiritual
healing!
Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for sharing your experience,
and I'm so glad you're free from rheumatoid arthritis now! I'm also
delighted to see that you're starting a blog where you can share this
knowledge and encourage people to do some research into complementary and
alternative healing methods. While it may be true that no one method or way
will work for everyone, it certainly can be helpful to share some tips from
those who've had success with these techniques!
Feeling I'm Wearing a Watch I Don't Own
Ray
Farmington, NM, USA
For the past five days I have been feeling the
sensation of wearing a wrist watch on my right wrist.So I thought that I
would mention that I don't own a wrist watch. Don't know how much that has
to do with reality shifts or being in touch with my counter part though he
resides in a parallel dimension. We may be interfacing between dimensional
planes.
Note from Cynthia: Thank you for writing to let me know you've
been feeilng a sensation of wearing a wrist watch on your right wrist, when
you don't own a wrist watch. And it sounds like you're also suggesting
you've not previously worn a wrist watch on your right wrist--so this
sensation really does seem to be coming from nowhere.
Indeed, this sounds like you could be sensing another possible reality--one
in which you wear a wrist watch. I've had some similar brushes with
realities where, for example, I know how to play the drums, and feel
compelled to jump up on stage when a band's drummer walks off, so I carry
on with the rest of the band. And I'd not taken drumming lessons
before!
Hi Cynthia,
I’ve written to you before. I loved your book, and think maybe a
time to read again, or do you have another you could recommend for
understanding shifts? One of the things that happens to me is that I notice
name changes. As in the name spelling of certain friends changes, people
I’ve known for years and know how to spell their name quite
well. For me, it is a significant sign of a major reality shift of my own
personal nature versus a shift of impersonal (works of art etc.)
Have you experienced this, or can you recommend any resources toward?
Warmest regards,
— Michelle
Dear Michelle,
Thanks so much for writing to me with these questions. With regard to books
for understanding shifts, I've got two books dedicated to providing
perspective on these things:
With regard to noticing personal shifts, in which you observe something
like changes in names of those close to you, I've not (yet) noticed this
particular kind of change--though I do tend to notice all sorts of shifts,
so I'll likely notice these things more in the future. Once we start paying
attention to certain kinds of shifts, we often do tend to see more of that
type--such as changes in names, or traveling farther in less time, or
objects appearing/disappearing/reappearing, and so forth.
lots of love,
— Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,
So correct me if I'm wrong, quantum leaping is basically oneself absorbed
into another parallel reality, like a good person in a material world vs. a
person in an anti-matter reality being evil? Does this have
anything to do with those articles on Supercolliders where there is an evil
demonic realm? I was reading about this and found it fascinating.
Also, I was reading about Omarosa Manigault, and the term quantum leaping
came up describing invisible "Illuminati" forces at work which sounded so
science fiction like, in which her reality collided with an alternate
reality where everything was controlled (she was controlled as well as the
audience). Of course, the half the things on the Internet you
cannot believe with all the "fake news" these days.
— John
Dear John,
The types of reality shifts that I've been observing over the past couple
of decades indicate that what's happening is that we're all regularly
experiencing reality shifts--yet most people typically don't notice these
discontinuities.
We're seeing evidence that this is true from research in the fields of
quantum biology, quantum chemisty, and the quantum aspect of every other
field of science. Which is to say that we're starting to observe clear
evidence for quantum phenomena to occur at every level of reality, and not
just in "the quantum realm."
In other words, once you start paying attention to reality shifts, you will
likely start to notice people and/or things appearing, disappearing,
transporting, transforming, and also changes in the experience of
time.
While some people have reported experiencing that they were literally
living in a different, parallel reality, such experiences are not common to
all reality shift and Mandela Effect experiencers.
I don't believe that particle physicsts at CERN working on the Large Hadron
Collider are involved in evil research, since I've seen particle physicists
when I was working at the Space Sciences Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley
Lab above UC Berkeley, and I can assure you that particle physicists are
the least likely people to be involved in nefarious, evil plots. These are
some of the most grounded, practical, literally-minded,
Boolean-logic-focused people you're ever likely to meet.
With love and thanks,
— Cynthia

Cynthia,
You mentioned in your writings that you can shift among dimensions.
What is the way to accomplish that?
— Sal
Dear Sal,
I describe dimensional awareness in my book, "Reality Shifts,"
which presents an overview of what various dimensions feel like.
The best way to experience different levels of dimensional awareness
is to practice it on a regular basis over a period of many days, weeks,
and months. Reality Shifts
lots of love,

Cynthia,
I'd like to know the steps to quantum leap to a parallel uni. Read
your site; are there instructions?
— Kenny
Dear Kenny,
I cover the basic steps in my book, Quantum Jumps, with exercises and
examples. While I believe all of us are quantum jumping regularly, most
people experience low-level effects. I work as a coach to help individuals
improve their quantum jumping abilities.

Dear Cynthia,
I’ve been researching changing the past for a while now. The
thing I cannot rectify in my mind is – does the memory of the
original past remain or get overwritten to the new envisioned and better
past. Sorry if that’s confusing, it’s a tricky topic
to put words to for me. I suppose I worry that if I managed to shift
realities to one that contained a more preferable past, would my memories
of the original past be in conflict with the new past?
— Sharon
Dear Sharon,
This is actually a truly excellent question–which of course
means I don’t fully know the complete answer. Typically, we
mostly notice changes to the past when we do still remember something being
rather different than the current official historical account. Yet
sometimes, some of us do also notice that as things start changing, our
‘memory’ of how things have always been can sort of
make a companion jump as well, and sometimes that does mean we enter a time
when two sets of memories both seem possibly true. So it seems reasonable
to consider that sometimes our memories also make the jump to the new
physical reality–though in such cases, we’d likely
not really notice we’d even made a jump at all.
With love and thanks,
— Cynthia
___________
Dear Cynthia,
So I experience the realities stacked up beside each other like particles
in two places at once. It affects my memories, deja vus, keys that
disappear in one reality but are later lying just where I had put them and
looked for them to begin with, a bike that was stolen but appears years
later and miles away hanging in sister's garage, lost keys that fall out of
an every day used book bag in Ireland that disappeared a year before,
people telling me a secret that is true but the person has no recollection
of telling it to anyone, me standing in the middle of 19th century
Fishamble street, Dublin with the smells and the must in grey old frock and
uncomfortable lace up black shoes then a few seconds later being back
standing in clients room --the list goes on and some shifts are so small
most miss it all together like a word spelled different if a change in a
song and on and on--do in long, I guess--think that quantum theory/physics
should at least help us take things a whole lot less seriously--like I have
memories of stuff in my family or experiences with friends that no one else
seems to recall--so it seems pretty pointless to insist on being right when
there truly are different realities going on literally and not just
psychologically--ya know?
— Julie
Dear Julie,
Yes, I completely agree! Once we see that just about anything can change
and once changed has officially 'always been that way,' it seems
increasingly more and more wise to not be so concerned about being right
over being kind.
— Cynthia
___________
Cynthia,
I came across your website and i am quite fascinated with the post on it.
would like to know if it is possible to travel back in time and save
someone through your method.
Thanks.
— Dej
Dear Dej
Thanks so much for writing and asking this question! The experiences
I've had involving time travel have either involved a kind of hypnosis /
meditative approach toward traveling back in time, or a real-time
time-travel experience which has spontaneously arisen in which a couple of
times have somewhat overlapped. While the first kind of travel is something
I've been able to initiate, I've not (yet!) managed to save someone. The
reasons for this seem to mostly have something to do with the way emotional
entanglements and strong emotions (such as of great grief) seem to
interfere with making changes to the past. The best results I've seen for
witnessing 'dead people alive again' typically involve individuals who
aren't so close to us. And perhaps the reason this occurs is that
detachment is required from a particular reality, in order that we can
experience another.
With love and thanks,
— Cynthia
___________
Cynthia,
I have been experiencing Mandela effects recently, (my
husband’s new birth mark, flags, logos and songs changing etc),
and other weird physical anomalies (time loss, attracting things,
and I appear to be able to make hearts out of things without touching them)
etc., so it’s become obvious to me now that we can affect our
physical world with our mind. Your website confirms this. My
question though, is how much and how far can we take it?
I’m wondering this as today I was upset to hear of a massacre in
Vegas, and I wonder if somehow, we can even change big things like this?
And if so, how? If it is true, it would mean that the world really does
revolve around me. Maybe around all of us but we’re all in
different places.
How to jump to a more peaceful reality?
Is it through constant peace meditation? Can we induce selective amnesia
somehow? Controlling our thoughts? I’m wondering what
you would have to say about this? I don’t assume it will be
easy, but I would like to try.
If you have any advice or input, I would be grateful as I
haven’t read the books yet. Thanks so much <3
.
— Rachael
Dearest Rachael
Thanks for writing to me with your question. I'd say the short answer is
pretty much anything is possible--due to there being a number of possible
realities we can experience. Having said that shorter answer, the longer
answer is that what I've noticed after tracking this phenomenon for twenty
years is that we are co-creating reality (since we humans are social
beings), and our subconscious (and collective subconscious) play huge
roles. There are many more things going on than ever meet the eye, and
sometimes a disaster on one level helps offset something potentially worse.
It seems a great deal of chaos occurs at times of waking up, when some
people don't wish to take responsibility for thoughts and feelings, and/or
fall habitually into fear.
My advice is adopt a daily practice of compassionate living and meditation,
working to listen to your own subconscious, and provide a safe sounding
board for others to share theirs with you.
With love and thanks,
— Cynthia

Are You or Are You Not:
Searching for the Real Dimensions of Life
by Stan V. McDaniel
From the first page, McDaniel invites us to seriously reconsider our
assumptions that may unknowingly have been leading us down a garden path to
the point we might be biological machines lacking free will. While the
assertion that you might be such a mechanized automaton hopefully strikes
you as outrageous—that's exactly the point. A certain
perspective of mechanistic reductionism has become the dominant paradigm to
the point that people seldom even notice the problems implicit in such
assumptions.
“Are You Or Are You Not” is a philosophical book
that's perfect for anyone wishing they could put their finger on exactly
what it is about mechanistic reductionism that's gone so wrong. One could
argue that it takes a philosopher to guide us through this matter, and so
we are indeed most fortunate that philosophy professor Stan McDaniel has
crafted such a careful reconstruction that could better provide humanity
with a solid foundation of understanding life, the universe, and
everything.
Historically, humanity now stands at a juncture of the dawning of the
quantum computing age, along with brave new worlds of robotics, artificial
intelligence systems, and cybernetics. These new technological advances
require us to step up to a similarly advanced view of who we are and our
role in the world.
Rather than adopting a purely Boolean, rational approach of revisioning our
conception of reality, McDaniel invites us to explore representational
models, presented throughout the book in the form of figures, in order that
we regain a sense of intrinsic interrelationality that is implicit and
fundamental in the natural world. McDaniel presents ideas of John Dewey,
Carl Jung, and Henri Bergson to this end, as well as concepts from the
Upanishads, Aristotle, Govinda, Mouni Sadhu, and Hermes Trismegistus. From
such a rich and varied assortment of influences, McDaniel presents us with
a fresh view of self and God, which ultimately advocates denying the
dualistic paradigm that is typically assumed in our lives.
Ultimately, McDaniel encourages us to discover an 'amplification of the
world' in which there is another dimension which is not a physical
dimension of space-time, but rather an interpenetrating hierarchy of
non-fixed levels of consciousness. There is a sense of continuity in these
levels of consciousness, which reveals itself to us when we explore the
nature of time. John Dewey recognized there is a kind of 'situational
space' in which transactions occur, and in which place experience arises as
a function of continuity.
I loved reading this book for the sense of wonder and expansion of
possibility it brings, as well as clarification regarding providing a
framework for more future understanding. This is a topic where there are no
easy answers, and it helps to bring an open mind and willingness to set
aside preconceived assumptions. This is a marvelous book for the way it
guides readers through a philosophical wilderness and ultimately to an
expanded sense of wonder.
Highly recommended!
