MY FOUR WORLD THEORY

In my four-world theory, which I presented at Thomas Jefferson College in 1975, I explained that people who are NORMOTICS or normal neurotics just fit other people’s expectations. They are in the FIRST WORLD. They are cool, don’t ask questions, and take things at face value. Metro, Boulot, Dodo, which means Subway, Work, and Sleep. 

But one day, they start asking the dangerous question: WHY? This is when they enter the second world. Why do I have to do that? What is the meaning of life? Why are some people rich and others poor? Why do people fight, steal, kill? Why do we have to suffer, to age, to die? Why, why, why?

The answer is. We don’t really know; there are several explanations, like original sin, entropy, grow or die, survival of the fittest, and « life is a bitch, and then you die. »

Some people can’t take it and see a shrink or a psychiatrist. They give you a sedative to sleep, and you return to being a Normotic, and stop creating problems. But if you don’t give up the WHYs, they can label you as crazy, insane, and dangerous. The old straight jacket is now replaced by chemicals, which make you a zombie. 

But some people don’t stop. Laing said, « If you want to become crazy, just be discreet. » At the time, Cooper even suggested that our mission was not to stop them but to help them in their journey through « madness. » What happens when they don’t give up? They enter another world.

In the second world, you are either crazy or sane, right or wrong, good or bad. This is how classic computers work. Binary. This is the “EITHER-OR” SECOND WORLD. Politicians will say: « You are either with us or against us.” Physics says you can be both, and I called it the Wisdom of Madness. My class on this subject always had a long line of students waiting to get in. Students were standing or sitting on the floor. They had to give me a bigger amphitheater every other week. This was confirmation that I was onto something. But at that time, I was just following my intuition. 

Several decades later, I started studying quantum physics. It was not just eye-opening; it was the discovery of a new world, a new reality that was always there and had incredible consequences not just for science but also for everyday life.

Today, we cannot function without computers or cell phones, but they are all based on the either-or vision of reality.

By contrast, Quantum computing is built on Quantum bits or Qubits, which can store zeros and ones. Quibits can represent any combination of both zeros and ones simultaneously. This is called superposition. 

You can be crazy and a genius simultaneously, and more. This is not limited to two. This is why I used to say EVERTYHING IS RIGHT AND WRONG SIMULTANEOUSLY; the THIRD WORLD. This « and MORE » is the Quantum field of infinite possibilities. Quantum computers can explore massive numbers of paths simultaneously, meaning they can do it much faster than classical computers. 

So, what does it mean in our everyday lives? There are two key concepts. The first one is SUPERPOSITION. We already know that to be warm in winter, you need several layers of clothing or a superposition of various materials. This is the same with every aspect of our life. Learning another language should never be limited to learning just one. You are not just learning French or Spanish. You are learning how to learn languages. So why stop at one? Then you can compare, and the structure of each language helps you better assimilate the other language. This is the SYNERGY of superposition. The second key concept. If you are a scientist, learn to play the Violin. Einstein played the Violin. Your model should be Leonardo da Vinci. 

We should always dedicate time to adding « layers » to our world. The inside and outside world. Follow your intuition, I should say your quantum intuition; if you are good at concentrating, you should learn the art of «flâner.» It means wandering around without a precise motive or intention. When you establish your to-do list, you should remember that nothing is challenging; to empty your mind is complex. The purpose of meditation is to take you to NOTHING. Because when you reach nothing, you get everything. Nothing and everything are in SUPERPOSITION.

And remember that the Quantum field is infinite. You are all those potentials at once and without limits. When you are in the first world, you have to fix the plumbing, buy some food, wash dishes, or go get the kids. You are in a survival mood. There is no time to explore the Quantum field.  To leave this program, you have TO BECOME, compared to the normal neurotics, insane. Remember Why? Why? Why?  Or shut up and eat your soup, go to work, bring money home, and watch TV.

But once you start questioning everything, you cannot stop—until you reach ILLUMINATION, the Aha! The moment when you open the door to the FOURTH WORLD.  Imagine an education program teaching you to always go beyond. Quantum Psychology tells you, you can simultaneously be a scientist and a mystic. Superstitious scientists in the Indian culture experience separate realities every day. Their culture prepares them to better understand the new quantum reality and to be the best CEOs of multi-cultural companies. 

I LOST MY MIND

I lost my mind, but don’t worry.
Don’t try to find it; I don’t want it back.
It’s an old one full of corpses and frozen ideas.
If you find it, you can keep it.
I am working on a new one.

THE FOURTH BRAIN

We are all familiar with the McLean 3 brain theory: The cortex is logical and rational, the limbic is emotional, and the reptilian is instinctive and about survival.  However, quantum physics shows us that we are missing the most crucial brain: the Fourth Brain.

The fourth brain is not Binary.  We are not good OR bad  We are all good AND bad, and more, which opens up the quantum field of infinite possibilities.

The fourth brain is not limited to our nervous system.   We are surrounded by and constantly immersed in and influenced by our environment.  We receive constant waves of energy from material things, and as quantum physics teaches us, everything is connected, and everything is energy.

My house is not inert.  It sends me signs, vibrations, and waves of energy.  It does not just influence my way of thinking and being; it is my fourth brain.

As it is, my dog is constantly communicating with my other brains.  Some people will call the fourth brain the Exo-Brain, but it’s a mistake as my fourth brain is united with my other brains.

Descartes separated the mind from the body, but we know they are one today. Now, with quantum physics, we know that everything is connected. 

Our three brains are definitely connected and influenced by our guts, hearts, and many more connections that we have yet to discover.

The beauty of our fourth brain is that it is not linear.  It is not B after A and C after B.  It goes in all directions at once.

We are our past, present, and futures (plural intentional). According to quantum physics, time goes in all directions.  I know it’s spooky, but a consequence might happen before the cause.

So the fourth brain can explain premonition, visits to the future, modification, and reinvention of our past, parallel universes, former lives, and more.  Always and

more as the fourth brain is always « Becoming » and never finished.

In summary, the Fourth Brain is our Quantum Brain. It means accepting uncertainty (the Heisenberg uncertainty principle), that our science is reductive and atrophies our creative capacities, that we can be a multitude of people at once, and that there is no dogma but only probabilities. 

It is time to stop the dictator of the BLT (Binary Linear thinking) and to start thinking Quantum by activating our FOURTH BRAIN. 

Who are you becoming today

  • To think positive is not enough.
  • You are the placebo. 
  • Every day, give instructions to your brain. Your brain is a tool, not the master.
  • You can un-memorize or de-imprint to stop repeating the past; new psychotherapy.
  • You are not who you are (which is what you were), but you are what you are BECOMING. 
  • Resentment, Regrets, etc., wastes your energy. 
  • You are energy in action. You need focus, intention, direction, and higher purpose. 
  • Success means coherence between strong, powerful emotions and a clear objective and intention.
  • You can be ahead of yourself.
  • The brain does not see the difference between emotions from an actual situation or from what you imagine. 
  • You can learn the right move in tennis or golf by rehearsing and repeating it in your mind. 

KEY INSIGHTS

  • You are movement and energy.
  • You can change your past because the past does not exist and is a constant recreation in your brain. See The Invention of Memory by Israel Rosenfield.
  • There is no contradiction between matter and spirit. They are one.
  • Mystics and Scientists are saying the same thing. They are both the foundation of Quantum Psychology. See Fritjof Capra’s The Tao of Physics.
  • Quantum Psychology reconciles and integrates Freud, Jung, Carlos Castaneda, Heisenberg, Einstein, Schrödinger, and all the Quantum physicists.
  • Quantum Creativity creates moments of eternity when you are out of time and space.
  • Quantum Psychology completely changes your relationship with your body. 
  • You can create new mental connections which become the new you. 

In old psychology, I want to know what you think about me.  In Quantum Psychology, I want to know what you think about me, how you feel about me, and what you think I think about what you think about me, which is endless. This is the awareness of this endless spiral that looks like it stops, but in Quantum Psychology, it never stops. R.D. Laing from the Tavistock Institute in London was the first one to describe this. My first book, published in 1972, is about him. He was one of the pioneers of Quantum Psychology.

It was because of my first book that I was invited to teach a class on Wisdom of Madness and Antipsychiatry at Thomas Jefferson College in 1975.  

Who are you BECOMING today? 

Never forget to be crazy! 

The Code

Once you know the code, you understand why people do what they do, and how best to appeal to their reptilian needs.

The code is the access to the structure of the forces that organize a culture; the way we think and function.

The code is like the combination of a safe’s lock. If you have all the numbers, but not the proper order, you cannot open the door.

Cultural codes are unconscious. Bringing the codes into awareness – decoding them – can illuminate people’s psyche and help explain why we are the way we are.

“Why people do what they do?  This is the aim of the system.”

QUAND LES CHOSES

Quand les choses me résistent. Elles tombent, se cachent, changent de place, pour que je ne les trouve pas. 

Quand les choses sont contre moi, il faut les écouter.
Elles ne sont pas contre moi, elles me parlent et, c’est à moi de les écouter. 
Pourquoi chercher ces vieilles chaussures qui te font mal aux pieds.
Pourquoi chercher des vieilles photos qui te font mal au cœur. Souvenirs d’un passé qui n’existe plus. 
Puis, brusquement une chose apparaît que je ne cherchais pas. Ce n’est pas un souvenir, c’est un devenir. Il faut remplacer les souvenirs par des DEVENIRS.
Nostalgiques sont ceux qui n’ont que des souvenirs. 
Impatients sont ceux qui ont des devenirs, des portes qu’il faut ouvrir, des directions qu’il faut prendre et ne jamais rendre aux voleurs de devenir. 
Quand les choses me résistent elles me parlent d’un passé qui‘il faut fuir.
Quand les choses se manifestent d’elles-mêmes sans que je les cherche, elles me parlent d’un devenir qu’il faut suivre comme un fil d’ariane pour trouver ma nouvelle vie.
Quand les choses…
 
Quand les choses me résistent, comme un cheval avant l’obstacle, c’est qu’elles se rassemblent pour mieux sauter.
Quand les choses me parlent, il faut toujours les écouter. 
 
Je ne possède pas mes choses, elles m’ont choisi. 
Ce sont mes anges gardien
qui m’indiquent le chemin
de mes demains 
Incertains.

The Wisdom of Scars

« Show me your scars. » 
This is the question asked when you arrive in heaven.
If you don’t have any, you must return to earth.
 
Make a list of your scars.
Own them; they are you.
How they transformed you is what matters.

Born in 1715

I was born in 1715 when Louis XIV died at the beginning of the 18th century. That makes me 309 years old. 

I still have all my head. My body follows but complains once in a while. 

In the past, we had armor. Now, we have exoskeleton avatars and artificial intelligence.

I can’t wait to enter the next century/world of Quantum.

To be anywhere, everywhere, all the time, all at once. 

It looks as if our old scientific reality is an illusion.

I love people who look for the truth; I am very suspicious of people who say they found it.

Choose Life

I don’t want a long, healthy, boring life. 

No Gluten

No Fat 

No Meat 

No Sugar 

The above all means No Taste

No Cigars 

No Whiskey 

No Sex Please, We’re British (a play written by Alistair Foot and Anthony Marriott, which premiered at the Strand in London)

It all means NO LIFE!

Some people are dead; we just forgot to tell them.

Why do you want to live longer if your life is boring, with no fun, pleasure, sugar, gluten…, or taste? 

When your life is exciting, you cannot die.

When your life is boring, you are already dead. 

Death is an attitude. Happy is a choice.

A friend of mine was enjoying a great life. Three girlfriends, whiskey and cigars, a lot of food, a lot of sex, but he was overweight. So he went to see his doctor. 

Jim, you cannot keep living this way. You are going to die. You have to change your lifestyle; you must exercise, follow a diet, no alcohol, no cigars, lose weight, go down to one girlfriend, don’t stay up all night dancing and drinking, and go to bed at nine. 

Okay, Doc. I will.

He followed all the rules imposed by his doctor. 

He became skinny, healthy, and sober. 

He had a beautiful waistline and beautiful skin. 

A few days later, he was hit by a truck and died.

The doctor was right when he said, «You are going to die.»

Choose life!

We are all going to die … anyway!

So let’s have a beautiful, sexy, unhealthy Rye Manhattan and enjoy life. 

Life is too good.

I don’t have time to die!
