QUANTUM PHYSICS and SPIRITUALITY: Understand LAW OF ATTRACTION and MANIFESTATION!

Just to make it clear from the very beginning of this post, quantum physics does not imply spirituality because it’s science in the end of the day, and not faith! But spirituality is always talking about quantum physics, have you ever wondered why?

If you don’t the answer, don’t worry! My intention today is to help you to understand the relationship between quantum physics and spirituality! I will explain the double slit experiment, the Schrödinger’s cat theory and quantum entanglement, and if you understand a bit of quantum physics, you will have a better idea about how reality works!

So, why is it so hard to understand quantum physics? Because it requires you to understand abstract concepts, and your mind is highly trained to understand things in a very logical and linear way!

Classic physics studies the macro world of physical reality, and quantum physics studies the micro world of matter and energy, atomic and subatomic levels… and what they see happening in one, is not the same as what they see happening in the other!

The Double Slit Experiment

Let’s start with the double slit experiment! It’s not a theory, it’s a real experiment and you can find many videos online about it.

The first thing you need to know is how particles and waves behave in the big world of physical reality. As particles, you can picture tiny marbles, and as waves, you can picture a wave that is formed when you throw a pebble in the water. The set up for the experiment works like this, in the front you have a screen with 2 slits, and at the back, you have a wall.

When you throw particles, they go straight through both slits and mark two bands on the wall. When you send a wave, after passing through both slits, it becomes two, and every time a wave touches another, they cancel each other and form another one! So by the time they reach the back wall, they mark multiple bands as a result of this interference pattern!

So far so good, quite easy to understand! Particles go straight and form two bands, waves have an interference pattern and form multiple bands! Now let’s talk about the craziness that happens in the quantum world!

When the scientists did the experiment with electrons, they were expecting them to behave like a particle, but they didn’t, they behaved like a wave! So they thought that the electrons were bouncing and hitting each other, causing an interference pattern, and to avoid that, they decided to shoot one at a time, and guess what? They continued to behave like a wave!

Crazy, right? I know! But wait because what happened next is even more weirder!

They decided to check what was happening, so they put a measurement device to see what the electron was doing when it was passing through the slits, and it got even more confusing because, as if the electron knew it was being observed, it changed its behavior and started to act like a particle!

Yes, you got it right! When not observed, the electron behaves like a wave, when observed, it starts to behave like a particle!

What does this whole crazy experiment imply? Scientists like to use the proper terminology, like “wave of probability” and “interference pattern”, but let me simplify these concepts to you!

Even when you shoot one electron at a time, what happens is, when you are not looking, the same electron coexists in multiple places at same time, all the probabilities of its possible location are equally real! And this electron is interacting with all these other versions of itself, that’s why it behaves like a wave! But when you look at it, it collapses and assumes only one of the probable positions, that’s why it starts to behave like a particle!

As you can see, the observer is a key factor in quantum physics because it determines the result! If you want to understand better what is “the observer”, just replace the word per consciousness!

The Schödinger’s Cat

To help you understand the difference between classic and quantum physics, I will explain the Schrödinger’s cat, which is a theory that illustrates very well the double slit experiment!

If you put a cat in a box with a bottle of poison, you close the box and you break the bottle of poison, the question is: Is the cat alive or dead?

Classic physics will say “the cat is alive OR dead”, quantum physics will say “the cat is alive AND dead” because both probabilities coexists and are equally real! Only when you open the box and observe what happened to the cat, reality will collapse into one probability or another!

The Quantum Entanglement

There is one more real experiment that I want to talk about today, the quantum entanglement! In short, what scientists figured is that when electrons are connected, or entangled, they communicate instantaneously with each other regardless of the distance!

Let’s say that I’m here in Brazil and I send my DNA to New Zealand. Whatever happens to me here, my DNA there will react to it at the same time, which means that the information gets there without traveling through time and space!

Classic physics has a hard time to explain that as well because in the quantum world, time and space don’t seem to exist! And in our physical reality, they are very real!

From Micro to Macro: Parallel Realities

I will translate to you what all these crazy experiments mean in your life!

You are made of electrons, but you don’t see other versions of yourself walking around, do you? Well, you don’t see them because your consciousness (the observer) is focused on this reality that you are experiencing right now, and all the other versions exist in parallel realities!

To understand better how it works, think about a TV! You have different movies, playing in different channels, and the fact that you are watching one movie doesn’t mean that all the others don’t exist! They are still there, they are just playing in a different frequency!

We need to add another factor, as the quantum entanglement suggests, time does not exist! Which means that all these movies are already made, all these stories are already there, from beginning to end! But as you are watching frame by frame, you have a perception of time!

Your consciousness is just like a person watching TV, it has all these channels and all these movies, it’s constantly navigating through them looking for the best experience to explore! It already does that, even if you don’t know! So, the main message here is: if you are not happy with the “movie” of your life that you are watching right now, change the channel! You have this power!

And how can you do that? The universe is pure energy, and the language of energy is frequency and vibration! Your brain and your heart are the most powerful energetic centers in your body, what you believe, think and feel have a huge impact on which reality you are observing! Your mind and your heart are your remote control to switch the channel!

And by the way, that’s what the law of attraction and law of manifestation teach, they talk about manifesting what you want, but actually is more about shifting to a reality that you prefer because it already exists! That’s why they tell to visualize and feel as if it was real, because it will change your frequency and vibration, which in turn, will help you to change the channel!

By explaining quantum physics today, that was the most important thing that I wanted you to understand, you create your own reality! It’s becoming common knowledge because even science is going towards this direction! For a more scientific approach, you can search about Amit Goswami and Robert Lanza.

Spirituality uses quantum physics to explain other things as well, I will just mention 2 more because I don’t want this post to be too long! Quantum entanglement explains telepathy, if you pay attention, you will notice that you exchange telepathic thoughts with people that you are connected to! And the quantum field talks about a unified field of consciousness, does that sound familiar? We are all one and we are all connected!

If you read this post until here, I have a question for you: was my explanation clear and simple enough to help you to understand a bit more of quantum physics today? I really would love to know, so please let me know in the comments!
