(a message from Dianne Collins)

Zoom in on your life right now. What do you see? Our personal stories may be different, but one thing we all share is this unmistakable, undeniable fact: You and I are in the midst of an evolutionary leap in human culture unlike anything we have ever witnessed or known.

So—how are you dealing with it? How does anyone deal with the warp-speed change, information deluge, unimaginable uncertainty, and technology that make our latest science fiction movies look dated?

The dilemma: We’re living in a quantum age, trying to use industrial age thinking. And it’s not cutting it. Albert Einstein’s oft-quoted insight, “The problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them,” is ubiquitous not only because it makes sense, but because it has never been more relevant. Our thinking has been shaped by a mechanistic worldview based in scientific assumptions long since proven to be mostly incorrect.

Despite our unanimous cry for balance, less stress and a simpler life, this idyllic state continues to elude us. In our private lives and within our companies we’re clear we need to change the way we do things and develop new approaches. Still, we cling to what’s familiar and yearn for “how-to” formulas we can settle into. Looking from a new world view perspective, we can begin to understand why.

We’re attempting to use ordinary logic based in linear thinking and chronological time in a world that has become spaceless and timeless and replete with paradox. We have been oriented around an erroneous concept, an unspoken promise of “certainty” that no longer fits in an infinite, multidimensional reality of energy in continuous flux—whose very essence is uncertainty and unpredictability.

The scientific facts of chaos and complexity belie our attempts to predict and control. You can see the absurdity in trying to downsize infinity.

We are swimming in a sea of perplexing paradox: of accomplishing more with fewer resources in less time; of making whole systems of diverse cultures and distributed data bases that have never conversed; of creating quality for industries that haven’t yet arrived; of organizing, of planning, and structuring in an ever-fluid environment.

Change means uncertainty. It means allowing for what is unknowable and unpredictable. We haven’t yet learned to dance in this infinite realm of the invisible, though it is the birthplace of creativity, innovation and transformation.

It is possible to take a literal quantum leap in consciousness and learn to think in sync with a more accurate picture of reality at the edge of scientific knowledge and at the heart of perennial wisdom. It is possible to reside in a place of equanimity and profound awareness where all great beings converge. It is possible to live not just effectively, but masterfully. It is possible to experience certainty in an uncertain world.

QuantumThink MasterMind is a window for you to enter a new world view of thinking and living; to realize your own power in ushering in this new era, daunting yet replete with amazing opportunity.

We hope you will join us for this series of courses.
