It is a much used idiom…but what exactly is a QUANTUM LEAP?  Hope this elucidates…

A quantum leap is a change in status from one set of circumstances to another set of circumstances that takes place immediately, without passing through the circumstances in between.

We are told that electrons stay in one particular orbit, but sometimes change to a different orbit.  If it absorbs energy, an electron can jump to a higher orbit, if it releases energy, it can drop to a lower orbit. What most of us are never told is that when an electron changes orbits, it does not move through space to arrive at its new location; rather, at one moment the electron is in orbit A, and in the very next moment it is in orbit B, without having traveled through the space in between. This is what is meant by a QUANTUM LEAP.

Scientists have learned that they cannot predict when and where a quantum leap will occur. They can create mathematical models that allow them to estimate the quantum leaps, but they are never totally predictable!

It is from this realm, this pregnant space of the unknown, this “quantum leap of consciousness” that a deeper order of knowing is born. Sounds so mystical and mysterious doesn’t it? This knowing is not just relegated to the woo-woo…it is actually the wellsprings of a very deep source of wisdom…our intuitive intelligence or our “quantum intelligence.”

The Book of Life is the portal for easy entry to this realm. Accessing the Akashic Field is one explanation for how quantum leaps actually happen. We enter a field of deeper consciousness where everything exists.

Many people from all walks of life recognize that when they let go of their intellectual rigor, tune into this other realm, some of their brightest ideas and smartest decisions are born.  This is where the Nobel Prize is born, quantum leaps in science are discovered and new trends in business, technology and the arts are uncovered. Pathways to human transformation and new patterns of behavior are revealed to us.

Here is what Albert Einstein had to say about quantum leaps: Intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why. There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws.

Higher order cognition? An advanced pattern recognition device? Wholistic brain functioning? Quantum leap consciousness? The birthing place of genius? A peek into the next layer of cosmic reality? Or all of the above?

It seems to me (drum roll) that a quantum leap is the next order of meta-cognition and evolutionary consciousness.

Next blog, I’ll explore what the cognitive neuroscientists are saying about all of this innovative stuff…and the techniques and tools to access this quantum leap dynamic.

Whoosh, I need a nap… This quantum leap consciousness uses way too much brain glucose…
