I was first introduced to Dr. Q in the movie The Secret when I watched it way back in 2006; the mad looking scientist with a wonderful sense of humour and a brilliant message. I saw that he was a Quantum Physicist and I never really gave it much thought, I just imagined him in a room full of giant Tesla Coils which I guess would be todays equivalent of a kite and a key in a thunder storm.
Then a few months after I watched The Secret I was introduced to a wonderful movie called What The Bleep Do We Know which is an incredible movie (I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it) and it basically looks at the idea of “The Secret” or the Law Of Attraction from a Scientific perspective or a Quantum Mechanics perspective. The movie shows us that there is ‘proof’, so to speak, for the idea that we create our own reality. Then after watching that film I put all books down for a while and got on with ‘life’. After making the decision to change my life at the beginning of the year I have been reading book after book, watching movie after movie and listening to audio after audio and taking what resonates with me and actually consciously implementing it into my life. It’s not easy I tell you. I have 25 years worth of bad habits to break but in all honest truth it is not as hard as I thought it would be and it is worth it a thousand times over as it has changed my life! Obviously for the better! But the funny thing is that everything I have been picking up lately always brings me back to the idea of Quantum Mechanics which is why I decided to download Dr. Q’s audio book.
Dr. Q makes some pretty far out statements in this audio and for some that have never been introduced to the idea of Quantum Mechanics I suggest you start with What The Bleep Do We Know. Although the message is pretty ‘wow! far out! no way!’ it opens your eyes to a whole new world that science is the key to. I remember reading once that science has no place in religion and religion has no place in science but the way Dr. Q incorporates the two is awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed it which makes me wonder what the point of one is without the other!
Dr. Q completely deconstructs your physical reality by bringing simple layman's examples to your attention before completely blowing your mind with the other possibilities. One example he gives when talking about the physical world and that it is certainly no where near all it seems to be is that- a rose is actually not red, in fact most of the colours we see and what colours we identify with certain objects are not that colour. The colour we see is actually the colour the object is rejecting and saying ‘no i’m not that colour so I will reflect it out’. So what we see as a red rose is not at all! It is called a subtractive process and the funny thing is when we mix paints we think we are adding together paints to make a colour but we are actually adding paints together which cause a subtractive process because of light. It is all about light and what light reflects back to our eyes. In the audiobook the idea behind this example is very big and I had to listen to the audio twice to completely get it and I can tell you the idea without ruining the book for you because the details and the examples in the book are priceless so I suggest you listen to it but the idea is
‘You can take things at face value and give all of your attention and your reactions to what you see in the physical world, which is what you have been doing so far, OR you can choose to realise that there is much much more going on beyond what your eyes are telling you and give that feeling a chance and do something to learn about it.’
There is something more, something within you that is there and it feels like it belongs to you but you have been so busy living ‘outside’ that you have no idea how to get back in. Dr. Q calls it our ‘Spiritual Elephant’ and suggests to us that it is our real source of power. There are so many ideas and examples in this book I really cant begin to explain them all.
But here are a couple that really stand out:
We are actors: our physical body, everything we sense with our fives senses and the personality which is a product of our culture and society is the act and the actual actor is the ‘soul’.
We get lost in the act: we have been taught no other way than to believe that we are the character that we are acting out so we get completely lost in the character and believe that it is us and we get stuck in the physical and then wonder why we are so unhappy.
The Soul is who we really are: people always say ‘be yourself’. Dr. Q takes it further and suggests you start to realise and shed what is an act and habitual cultural conditioning and find out who you really are.
They are three examples which are all along the same path but ring very true to me as I have realised so much as of late how much of what I said and did was a mere habitual act. I even now find myself saying and thinking things and when I catch myself I realise it is just something that everyone else says and thinks and I had just gone along with it for so long that it became habit! I had never stopped to really think about what I personally thought! Most of my reactions to people, situations and circumstance were habits. Not real. An act!
He goes into way way way more detail than just saying we are actors. He goes into different and wonderfully mind blowing Quantum Mechanic theories and results. It is all very good! But it is not an audio for a person who knows nothing about Quantum Mechanics as I have done a fair bit of research into this and find that I had to draw on my previous knowledge to understand what he meant especially about the theory of objective reality and universal wave function and if you don't know what either of those mean then start somewhere a little more simple! Again I highly suggest ‘What The Bleep Do We Know’ as it is incredible and so easy to watch and understand, it really is outstanding work by who ever put it together or if you like Deepak Chopra he often talks about Quantum Mechanics in some of his books an example being ‘Synchrodestiny’ which I will be rereading next to review for you so we can keep going along the same sort of path!
My Humble Opinion: Great audiobook! Dr. Q is hilariously funny and entertaining! He is so full of life and I just LOVE listening to him! If you didn't watch What The Bleep Do You Know and did no research on Quantum Mechanics I don't doubt you would actually probably still get the gist of it and get the point or at least some of the points! It is such a friendly audiobook. Please dont think for a second that it is just a man reading a science textbook because its far from that notion!
The information presented is so complex yet seemingly so simple! Very easy to misunderstand some of the examples just because of the sheer mind boggling and not taught in school results that Quantum Physics produce so it is something that you should listen to at least twice and make an effort to dissect and inflect. Dr. Fred Alan Wolf is an incredible man and I really respect his teaching methods as he makes it FUN! Highly recommend!
