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.
Les Detours Toujours
Le temps est intemporel
L’espace vide et
L’énergie une vie qui fuit
À l’infini
Il faut contourner les détours
Effacer les souvenirs
Se gaver de peurs ancestrales
Pour réanimer la flamme qui nous brûle, torture insoumise de l’inexorable destin d’un matin incertain
d’une spirale sans fin, d’un amour enfantin qui meurt dans ma main, comme la rose de Ronsard.
Marâtre nature, ça fatigue d’être humain, dès le matin et d’y croire jusqu’au soir
Pour ensuite abandonner l’espoir. Portant il faut y croire et recommencer comme Sisyphus.
Je ne sais pas qui a écrit le scénario, mais il n’a pas essayé de s’échapper.
Pouvoir s’envole au-dessus des vagues sans chercher à résoudre les problèmes des autres, sans vouloir sauver
le ciel de la tempête, les vagues du vent, les plages du plastic, les dauphins des filets.
Le meilleur des mondes est dans ma tête, alors j’y retourne;
Pour l’instant…
À trop penser
On tue la pensée à trop cogiter
On oublie de respirer
À trop mijoter son cassoulet de contradictions préférées, on finit par bouffer des restes de clichés avariés, de vieilles pensées momifiées, de tentatives avortées et oubliées au musée des échecs de la cuisine mentale.
Il faut créer, chaque jour repousser l’impossible, s’échapper de soi pour rencontrer l’être futur l’inconnu que je serai demain et qui peut encore m’étonner, me surprendre et donne la flamme en se consumant sur le chemin du futur éclaire le chemin de mon destin.
LISTEN TO YOUR BANANA: The coming of the Quantum Parallel Universes
THREE BIG INSIGHTS
- The quantum computer
- Indian CEOs
- The coming of INDIA
REVELATION
- It works, but we don’t know how it works
- Spooky action at a distance
- The Wisdom of Madness
What if we just had the wrong glasses or lenses for centuries? It has become apparent that we need to learn how to think QUANTUM.
FIRST
- Throw away the old glasses.
- Stop being binairian.
- Stop linear thinking.
- Eliminate all dogma.
- Be aware that science aims to increase your anxiety as you move from a hypothesis to a new hypothesis that explains why the previous one was a mistake.
SECOND
- Time, Space, and Energy must be reconsidered.
- Time goes in all directions; consequences can occur before the cause.
- Space is curved.
- The universe is empty. Only energy exists.
- Our reality is an illusion.
- The observer effect.
- Objectivity is impossible.
- The uncertainty principle.
- Only probabilities.
- Everything exists already.
- Complementarity instead of opposition.
- Everything is connected.
- Mind and body are one.
- Yes – No – Yes and No- and a lot more. We have yet to explore the MORE.
- Quantum thinking is more.
THE BIG STEP: The reintegration of:
- Mysticism
- Archetypes
- Paranormal
- Madness
- Jung
- Einstein
- Artists
- Poets
- Hidden forces
We are in the Stone Age of discovering the Quantum parallel universes. This is the very beginning of a new age. How many geniuses have been put in mental health hospitals because we had the wrong glasses?
130: Your New Life Expectancy
A few years ago, a group of scientists asked me to discover the code for immortality. Everybody was okay with being 100 if they could still be independent, which meant going to the bathroom alone, but nobody wanted to be 200. They told me, « All my friends are going to be dead.”
Today, the Zeitgeist has changed. There are close to 800,000 centenarians worldwide, more than the entire population of Luxembourg. The predictions are that by 2050, we will have over 4 million centenarians, which is twice more than the population of Iceland. But this is not all. Being 110 is becoming very common, and more people surpassing 110: Jeanne Clement in France is 122, and Kane Tanaka in Japan is 118.
This gives us an entirely different perspective. According to experts, 130 will soon be our « reasonable expectation.” We should not think about how old we are but how many decades of life we still have in front of us.
I discovered then that we have three ways to look at age.
- The date on your passport: your official age.
- Your biological age: we now say that 70 is the new 50.
- Our psychological age: we found that people in retirement homes acted more like teenagers than grandparents. They don’t respect the rules, they are rude, always looking for sex, and complain all the time.
Rupert Murdoch is getting married at 92 with a very young woman who is 66.
Okay, it helps to have a lot of money, but 92, WOW.
Centenarians usually have a unique sense of purpose. It is not just the Okinawa diet that keeps them alive over 100 (86,510 Japanese are over 100) but what they call « Ikigaï, » or your higher purpose.
An old friend told me, « I am too busy; I don’t have time to die. » He was very busy creating animal shelters.
It is never too late to start a new adventure, learn a new language, make new friends, be provocative, discover your new « Ikigaī, » or fight for something or someone you love.
Remember, happiness is a choice.
Happy « Ikigaī”!
L’Air de Rien
C’est un art.
C’est passer trois heures à se maquiller pour que ça ne se voie pas.
C’est le foulard sur l’épaule parce que c’est inutile.
C’est avant tout ne pas avoir l’air de vouloir impressionner.
C’est le cavalier qui fait tellement corps avec son cheval qu’on ne le voit jamais donner un ordre.
C’est l’harmonie « mine de rien. »
C’est l’art de communiquer l’essentiel sans que ça se voie.
Le négligé est toujours très recherché.
Casual chic est toujours plus compliqué qu’un bon smoking qui a déjà servi avec fidélité.
Le « naturel » demande beaucoup de préparation pour que ça ne se voie pas.
Un certain détachement est plus « classe » qu’une volonté assidue pour réussir.
Le film « Les Cousins » de Chabrol montre le succès du Parisien insouciant alors que le cousin provincial qui a travaillé si dur rencontre un échec.
L’art de rien ! C’est un raffinement naturel, un talent inné, un acquis injustifié, une injustice ! Une supériorité qui ne s’achète pas !
Mais c’est aussi un talent qui peut s’acquérir, l’air de rien.
Le Temps
Avez-vous le temps ? Ne dites jamais OUI
On va vous le voler.
Il y a ceux qui ont le temps
Et il y a les voleurs de temps.
Donnez-moi cinq minutes !
Mes dernières cinq minutes je les ai déjà données.
Je n’ai plus de « cinq minutes » à donner.
J’ai perdu du temps !
Ne dites jamais que vous l’avez trouvé.
Dans mon temps ..
C’est le vôtre, gardez-le.
Le bon vieux temps, comme son nom l’indique c’est pour les vieux.
Par les temps qui courent ..
N’essayez pas de les rattraper. Ils sont déjà loin.
Il y a bien sûr le temps des cerises, le temps c’est de l’argent.
L’air du temps
Un temps fou
Juste à temps
Passer son temps
Le temps libre
Les temps morts
Avoir du temps à perdre
Le bon temps
Le temps qui passe
J’ai voulu l’arrêter pour prendre un verre mais le temps n’avait pas le temps.
J’aurais dû essayer un temps mort mais les temps morts ne boivent pas.
