Q & A

I wanted to write a book about the fulfillment that occurs when being creative. At some point, everyone experiences moments when they feel more intensely alive. At such times two things are happening: you're striving to create an outcome and you're seeing new possibilities. You switched from seeing life as a condition of being to a state of being.

To be creative means to tap into creation itself, but what exactly is the creative process and how do we activate it? When I decided to write Quantum Sense I embarked on a complex, but common sense narrative that would help the reader understand the building blocks of nature’s generative process and how it is responsible for the human condition. My central message is one of hope -- that we can improve our lives by deliberately working with the most powerful force in the universe, the quantum engine of chaos and order.

The Secret is a book about the power of positive thinking - using the power of thought to achieve an outcome. Unfortunately, though intriguing, positivity can not be proven. The inability to exploit the power of thought alone to achieve a specific goal or explain events beyond mere chance signify that simply thinking about something does not make it so. Thoughts exist in the quantum realm. Interaction between thought and action takes place when creativity stirs the pot of energy-matter in a way that links thoughts with the world. Thought gains traction when it employs the quantum engine of chaos and order to achieve results.

Essentially, to be creative is first to see any given field of opportunity as being in an alternating state rather than a fixed condition, then choose to interact with it. This might be a field of play or movement, a platform like math or language, or a medium like paint, sound, matter, or simply thought. When you are being creative you learn to see the universe as a malleable field open to change. Every engagement redefines both you and the outside world as your quantum senses attempt to align with your reality. In addition to altering the field of play, creativity enables mindfulness because it connects us with the same quantum engine that informs thought and formulates perception.
