“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” –Albert Camus
I’m a physics geek. At the same time, I have no idea (nor does anyone) exactly how and why the equations of quantum mechanics work.
The freaky weird thing is that what we call “reality” is simply a probability cloud. And it’s one of a gazillion probability clouds. This just happens to be the one we have currently solidified and defined into existence.
It’s why the Course in Miracles says the world we see is an illusion. This world (and we each have our own) is conceptually generated. Lucky for us, there’s a truer, more loving and joyful world beneath our concepts.
Once our world is “measured,” so to speak, by our sensory organs, electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain which then constructs what looks like coherent reality.
But the brain, far from being a passive recipient, actively gets to work filling in gaps, filtering what’s allowed in and generating a perception that meshes with what we previously decided is reality. Perception is the operative word.
Once “observed,” reality locks into place. Or seems to. Especially if we keep staring at it. However, it’s all too alive to be pinned down.
Which is why I actively avoid much of what my mind tries to tells me. I have to ask: Is that disgruntlement really true? Is that person really a jerk? Is it really true that life is scary and I must work really, really hard to control it?
Thank goodness for the freedom of attention. For the freedom to choose where I invest my energy. I can place my awareness into any one of a ginormous list of probabilities. And heaven knows, there are a lot of less-than-optimal choices out there.
But why would I want to do that to myself?
I am forever grateful that I understand just enough about quantum physics to know that I am not stuck with any one reality. And that, as the Course says, “the world is singing hymns of gratitude underneath the sounds of fear.”
For those who are wondering, my new book comes out end of the year. And here’s the link for anyone wanting to get in on this weekend’s free Wealth Codes Summit.

Oh I love this line – “the world is singing hymns of gratitude underneath the sounds of fear.” Yes! That’s such an encouraging thought. Underneath our fears, self doubts, judgements etc etc there are songs of joy, love and celebration. Amen! Here’s to looking for the joy and celebration and singing along in full voice! Thank you dearest Pam for another inspiring post, reminding us of mind blowing truths that aren’t actually that hard to grasp or put into practise – as long as we get out of our own ‘stuck in appearances’ way! I’m dancing to the hymns of gratitude and joy, and having the best day of my life. 😁💃🎶🎉🥰
PS. And woohooo for your new book being released by the end of the year!! Can’t wait! 🥳🎈🎉
