HOW QUANTUM PHYSICS CAN AFFECT YOUR BUSINESS

Now that I have your attention with that mysterious title I had better quickly explain this lofty assertion. We have talked before about the power of affirmations and positive thinking in our business, but have you ever wondered why and how it works? The answer lies in the mysterious world of “Quantum Physics.” One of Dr. Shaklee’s most profound statements was, “What you think, you look, what think, you do, what you think you are.” He understood long ago that our thoughts and words actually affect the invisible world and create something out of nothing.

Does the thought of quantum physics send a chill down your spine, just like the words calculus, differential equations, and -gasp- organic chemistry? You may not even think that quantum physics is a serious science, like the more familiar Newtonian physics. Just relax! I'm sure you're comfortable with regular physics, which describes the way that matter interacts with other matter, i.e. when you drop your vitamin chest, it will interact with the floor and the vitamins will scatter all over the place! Quantum physics is just the physics of the incredibly small. The reason that quantum physics needs complex math to explain the behaviors and properties of small particles is that the world of these subatomic particles is a very bizarre one, filled with quantum probabilities and organized chaos. For example, the exact position and velocity of an electron is very hard to find because attempts to "see" it involve bouncing other particles off of it. By doing this, you've just changed the electron's velocity, so your data is useless. Another thing is very important, when dealing with quantum physics you must forget about all logical physical laws, because the laws in the subatomic world are not subject to the macro universal laws.

OK Mike, now that you have completely lost me, how can the principles of quantum physics or quantum theory affect my business? One of the most exciting discoveries of quantum physics is the realization that our thoughts and words can alter the vibrations of the subatomic world, thus affecting the reality in which we live. In quantum physics studies, it has been discovered that the thoughts and expectations of the experimenter actually impacted the experiment's outcome! For instance, if the experimenter thought the particle would spin a certain way, it would! Scientists witnessed that a person's thoughts were actually causing the reaction of matter--at the quantum physics level.

The implications of this and other quantum physics studies has lead quantum scientists to understand that we have a direct effect on the world around us--our thoughts and words cause vibrations in the sub atomic world which affects the physical world in which we live. In fact, they are discovering what Jesus already knew, that the power of our thoughts and words literally enables us to create reality--our own reality. “Whoever says to this mountain, be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he says.”

Does that mean that we can just sit around and send out “good vibrations” and expect to reach Master Coordinator? I am sure Linda Causey will tell you it takes both hard work and positive behavior to be successful. So, as we go about our business let’s think and speak prosperity, success, and health, to everyone, especially ourselves.
