Quantum Physics & Spirituality

A few days ago I finally watched a documentary called “What The Bleep! Do We Know?”. To be honest from the start, I was surprised at how little substance was actually in the documentary. With that said, it was still pretty interesting.

What the scientists in the documentary said fascinated me, and it rang some very familiar bells. This post is just touching on some of the things that I’ve been musing over for the past few days.

I’m the type of person who likes to analyze things. A lot. I’ve always been the type to try to figure out how things work. If I couldn’t figure it out, then I would postulate possible explanations. They were often wrong, but it’s as much a part of how my mind works as is breathing a part of how the body works.

Moving beyond this over analyzation of “things” has been a struggle for me, and I still do it to some extent.

The spiritual, and how and why spiritual things work, is no exception. I’ve always instinctually known that there was a very tiny level on which things were affected spiritually. People like to say, “in our hearts”, but I knew that there had to be more substance to it than this vague idea. There had to be… something… that touched us, literally, at such a deep level that it was expressed in feelings.

The way that I imagined this world to be is a world of tiny dots. Things always bumping and moving together. Things emitting vibrational waves that caused other things to vibrate in kind. Stuff does not happen without a reason, there is always a catalyst. There has to be. So this was the best way that I could explain such an unseen, impossibly small world.

My theory of how and why “magick” works closely follows that line of reasoning. It works, I know that first hand, but I’m not going to accept some superstitious archaic belief that it all has to do with spirits or demons.

This documentary, of sorts, touched on this tiny world that I had always imagined there to be. This world beneath atoms, where one thing can exist in two places at once and particles phase in and out of existance. Where everyone, and everything, is literally connected.

I know that when I had my spiritual experience I actually fell inward. It was a very definite experience of falling deeper and deeper until I was in this tiny little world that was truly another world. It could have been larger than the Earth, for all that I know.

Then there are shamanic experiences. As I understand, they are inward journies, not outword journies as is typically thought of when someone says “astral projection”. In these shamanic journies they encounter other entities and learn of great things. Yet how can this be so if they are traveling within themselves? I think that my experience helps to explain that question, for me, and I think that this tiny quantum world helps to explain how it’s possible at all.

It’s not travelling literally within one’s self, it’s somehow moving into this microscopic place of other worlds.

Everything that traditional spirituality… not religion, but spirituality… has taught as truth is slowly being proven to be true.

My view of bible based religions tends to be fairly negative. My philosophy of the bible is that it’s just like any other religion that has ever existed, it’s just been blown significantly out of proportion. Why not? It’s been a great tool for the manipulators in our world.

That said, the documentary did touch on a quote from the bible that struck me as rather fitting. It was something about how all of the kingdoms of heaven could fit within a single mustard seed.

What a great explanation of the spiritual world this is!

I think that spirituality and “magick” are merely ways for us to interact with this incredibly tiny world. A world where we are, literally, all connected with everything and everyone else. Where affecting some sort of change in that world would certainly cause a change in the world that we see every day.

It explains all manner of things, and reveals so many other incredibly fascinating things to ponder.
