Quantum thinking does not replace archaic
or classical
thinking. Archaic thinking may be useful when making decisions about esoteric or
spiritual principles. Classical thinking may be useful when making simple
decisions in
controllable environments. Quantum thinking is useful when making complex
decisions in situations with limited information, relationship pressures and ambiguous
objectives.
Archaic, Classical & Quantum Thinking
The differences between archaic, classical and
quantum thinking centre on beliefs - on assumptions about reality. Archaic
perspectives assume that reality is governed by spirits, demons and gods.
Classical perspectives assume that reality is governed by statistical laws. Quantum
perspectives assume that reality is not governed, rather reality
behaves as an emergent complex system.
In archaic thinking, we can influence reality by
appeasing or bribing esoteric agencies. In classical thinking, we can influence reality by
applying natural laws. In quantum thinking, reality is chaotic and ultimately
unpredictable, yet we can influence reality by understanding and applying
systemic and quantum rules.

Four quantum properties may apply to
consciousness. 1, quantum coherence (e.g. Bose-Einstein condensation) may
underlie ‘binding’ or unity of consciousness (Marshall, 1989). 2, non-local
entanglements (e.g. ‘Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations’) may underlie
associative memory and non-local emotional interpersonal connection. 3, quantum
superposition of information may underlie preconscious and subconscious
processes, dreams and altered states. 4, quantum state reduction (quantum
computation) may underlie transitions from preconscious to consciousness.
(Penrose, 1989; 1994). |
Research in quantum physics shows that much of
our visible reality is illusion. Our cosmos is composed of
invisible, unpredictable and paradoxical energy. At a macroscopic (classical) level, we can
predict how accumulations of energy will behave over time. But at a sub-microscopic
(quantum) level
we cannot predict the behavior of a single electron for a single moment. (See
chaos coaching)
Consider quantum tunneling; electrons can pass through
impenetrable barriers by already existing on the other side. Can this be real? This
paradox is used in superconductivity. Quantum tunneling may become a feature of
super-fast computers and other practical applications. What do you believe?

People like us, who believe in physics, know
that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly
persistent illusion. Albert Einstein
|
Consider superstring theory; everything in the universe - all
particles, forces and even space-time itself - consists of minute strings that
vibrate and spin in a multi-dimensional superspace. Can this be real? Are you
a composite of sub-atomic, multi-dimensional energy fields? What do you believe?
Consider the simultaneous existence of parallel universes.
If reality is quantum-mechanical, then our universe should have much more
structure than a collection of classical entities.
The universe may be better called a multiverse. What do you believe?
Quantum Thinking, Beliefs & Reality

... the structure of the multiverse is determined by
information flow, and the universality of computation ensures that by studying quantum
computational networks it is possible to obtain results about information flow
that must also hold for quantum systems in general.
David Deutsch, Centre for Quantum Computation, Clarendon Laboratory,

Why is the amount of antimatter in the universe so small?
Research at Brookhaven in 1965 revealed a slight violation of symmetry in the decay of
neutral kaons (sub-atomic particles). As a result of this violation, a slight excess of matter
survived the Big Bang. This world and your body may exist because of a quantum
violation that few people have ever heard of. Can you believe in kaon decay?
Soul is said to be an immaterial essence of every individual.
Soul is an inner spiritual principle, a source of bodily functions and mental
activities. All human cultures include beliefs in a soul that
exists apart from the physical body. Can you
believe in Soul? (See
Psychobiology of Soul and
Soul of Soulwork)
Beliefs are not facts. Your reality is what you assume to be
true, based on what you believe. Your beliefs are either summaries of your
experience, or (more likely) pre-digested summaries that you accepted from
people you trusted. Your beliefs can support your
happiness ... or your
depression.
Common consequences of clinging to obsolete beliefs include:
- Age Regression: You demand that the world follow your childish expectations
- Emotional Stress: You experience overwhelming anger, sadness or fear
- Relationship Chaos: You use toxic relationship and communication skills
- Addictions, Compulsions & Obsessions: You attempt distraction and escape
- Depression: You attempt to retreat from a life that does not make sense
Probably, you accepted most of your beliefs about
the world from your early authorities - your parents, relatives and
teachers. Hence many of your assumptions about reality may be based on obsolete
concepts and are in urgent need of revision. Quantum coaching can help you
update your beliefs.
Quantum Coaching & Human Potential

The great law of culture is: Let each
become all that he was created capable of becoming.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)
Create yourself out of nothing! Recreate yourself
in chaos! Make up your mind!
Martyn Carruthers (still here) |
For millennia, our ancestors pondered the creation of
order. They told simple stories to describe the emergence of order
from primordial chaos. These archaic chaos theories are rejected by
classical science, yet provide interesting metaphors for understanding
modern
systems theories, quantum thinking and
chaos coaching.
Can you, for a moment, end a classical
obsession of trying to understand the world by statistical evaluation?
Instead, you can evaluate dynamic relationships between members of
complex systems. The principles of quantum thinking can both challenge
and assist you to update your view of reality.
Quantum Thinking & Leadership
The principles of
entanglement offer you
radical insights into how the world works. If
observing a system affects the system, your observations are forever out of date. If,
when evaluating a system, you become entangled in that system, your evaluations
will be biased. If by predicting a system's future behavior, you affect that
system's behavior - your predictions may be self-fulfilling.
When you plan, direct, or control human systems,
are you using tools derived from archaic (esoteric) thinking, classical
(statistical) thinking or from modern (quantum) thinking? Quantum
thinking can help you create effective management solutions for unexpected
problems and limited information.
Quantum Thinking & Systemic Coaching
Are you attempting to change or transform
human systems such as families, teams or organizations? Are you
trying to use esoteric forces or logical, linear plans to affect change? Are the results of
your initiatives somehow uninspiring and shallow? Do you know why?
|
Systemic diagnosis can help you perceive
organizations as interactive human systems, rather than as esoteric entities or classical
machines. Systemic coaching can help you manage and change human
systems ... for example if you join a system and then change yourself ... you
change the system.

Quantum Coaching & Systemic Entanglements
Quantum entanglements allow simultaneous action at a distance,
at speeds in excess of light. Human entanglements often show up as compulsions and
inappropriate behavior. Systemic
entanglements are often experienced as chronic inappropriate emotions ... see
identity loss. Some
entanglements are:
- I am entangled with someone I have hurt (I experience
chronic guilt or depression)
- I am entangled with an ignored dead person (I
experience chronic sadness)
- I am entangled with an ignored victim (I
experience chronic anger)
- I am entangled with an ignored hero (I experience
chronic anxiety)
- I am entangled with two people in conflict (I
experience chronic conflict)
- I lose access to my own identity (I experience chronic
dissociation)
Systemic entanglements can ruin individual lives and harm
entire relationship systems. Systemic coaching offers effective and
timely solutions for these entanglements and other relationship problems.
Quantum Thinking & Systemic Coaching
Members of human systems follow systemic, not classical,
rules. Some rules are explicit yet it may be against the rules to discuss
certain rules. Perhaps consider a military unit, a hippy commune and your family
as you ponder these examples of systemic rules ...
- Boundaries: Which boundaries can be flexible and
which must be rigid?
- Coalitions: Who can align with whom for what
benefits? Who cannot align with whom?
- Communication: How may communication rules
and meta-rules be used?
- Culture: How does the system identity itself? (religion, status, ethnicity,
...)
- Development: At what developmental stage is
the system frozen?
- Entanglement: Is there differentiation or are
members entangled with each other.
- Hierarchy: How must
authority be displayed? Who is really in control?
- History: What traditions and history must remain in
active memory?
- Maturity: What emotional ages (emotional
maturity) must members express?
- Metaphors: What symbolic interactions
can occur between members?
- Power: Who makes important decisions for the
system and for each sub-system?
- Roles: Who must make
trouble? Who must rescue? Who must distract?
- Values: What regulates the systemic
values of the system and each sub-system?
Quantum thinking and systemic coaching offer you ways to assess
and change your reality.
