1. Energize Vibrant Health in & via Your Gut Flora with Microbiome Boost
Sol Luckman
We at the Phoenix Center for Regenetics are thrilled to introduce a brand-new DNA activation: Microbiome Boost.
This powerful “ener-genetic” activation is designed to foster wellness by enhancing the harmony—the functional synergy—between the recipient’s bioenergy blueprint and microbiome.
It has long been known that a harmonious bioenergy blueprint (also known as the aura) is foundational to good health, as explained on our website and in our two books on the “revolutionary healing science” (Nexus) of the Regenetics Method, Conscious Healing and Potentiate Your DNA.
Today, scientists are discovering that our microbiome also plays a critical role in our ability to sustain homeostasis and wellbeing.
The microbiome is the sum of microorganisms, including their DNA, found in the human body. Amazingly, our microbiome—which consists of bacteria, yeasts, Candida albicans, and many other organisms—contains far more DNA than our own cells and tissues!
A balanced microbiome performs a myriad of vital functions—promoting good digestion and elimination, modulating immune and stress responses, helping control body weight and blood sugar levels, and maintaining proper communication pathways between the gut and brain.The microbiome can become imbalanced as a result of trauma, chronic stress, pathogens such as those found in vaccines, or toxicity induced by such factors as heavy metals in dental work, vaccine adjuvants, pesticides, and other harmful chemicals.
When this occurs, a virtually limitless number of physical problems can result—from relatively minor inconveniences such as skin rashes and toenail fungus to life-altering issues in the form of Leaky Gut, Chron’s disease, and other autoimmune conditions.
Additionally, it is thought by more and more researchers that a damaged microbiome is the most likely cause of mental illness, including depression, anxiety, and even psychosis. Others have gone so far as to claim that microbiome problems underwrite ADD, ADHD, and autism.
Obviously, in the interest of personal and public health, it behooves us to learn how to strengthen and restore our microbiome. But how do we do this?
Era I Approaches to Fortifying & Healing the Microbiome
Until now most approaches to strengthening and restoring the microbiome have been of a physical (what bestselling author Dr. Larry Dossey calls “Era I”) nature.
These approaches include elimination diets that often target Candida, which tends to overproliferate in proportion to how imbalanced the microbiome is. Eating traditionally fermented foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut and consuming probiotics are also typically recommended.While these approaches can be beneficial, many like ourselves have discovered that it is an exercise in futility trying to starve away Candida, which nearly always overgrows again if the microbiome balance has not been significantly—and permanently—improved.
The difficulty here is that without releasing the underlying pathogens and toxins that are likely a primary cause of the imbalance, a permanent solution to Candida is impossible. This is because Candida is designed to clean up toxins and pathogens! Simple dietary changes, by themselves, can be insufficient to remove these factors entirely from our system.
As for fermented foods and probiotics, those suffering from autoimmune conditions and allergies often do not do well consuming them in any quantity.
In fact, according to Dr. Zach Bush, developer of arguably the one supplement with the capacity to intervene in the case of a severely damaged microbiome (Restore), long-term overconsumption of probiotics has the potential to create a “monoculture” in the biome that decreases the latter’s diversity and renders it even less equipped to function in healthy ways immunologically.
On the subject of diversity, leading holistic medical doctor Thomas Cowan makes a strong case that sustained gut health can be promoted by consuming a diverse variety of nutritious plants in small amounts daily.
Some of the most nutritious plants are perennials that are not widely available commercially. Dr. Cowan created Dr. Cowan’s Garden, “nutritionally powerful and playful vegetable powders,” to offer a way to consume an array of vital whole foods in potent, concentrated powder forms.
According to Dr. Cowan, enriching one’s diet with these powders imparts benefits ranging from micronutrients to increased microbiome diversity.
Era II Approaches to Improving the Microbiome
In addition to physical, Era I avenues for fostering wellness in the microbiome, we also see a number of mind-body (“Era II” in Dossey’s model) approaches being put forward.
Recommendations in this arena range from lifestyle changes and meditation practices to reduce inflammation and stress (both of which have a far more negative impact on the microbiome than some might think) to counseling, visualization, affirmations and other techniques for calming the mind and body and opening up space for supporting the microbiome.
These epigenetic approaches, while potentially beneficial, are generally considered supplemental or complementary therapies for enhancing the effects of more far-reaching dietary changes.
In other words, it is unreasonable to expect a purely mental shift—by itself—to heal a chronically imbalanced microbiome.
That said, any epigenetic technique that can reduce stress and inflammation and improve hormonal and immune signaling via a better overall outlook can help keep a healthy microbiome intact and assist other modalities in restoring a damaged microbiome.
Microbiome Boost: An Era III Approach to Fostering Microbiome Health
As explained by Dossey in Reinventing Medicine: Beyond Mind-body to a New Era of Healing, the frontier of medicine lies neither in the physical (Era I) nor mental (Era II) realms, but in the nonlocal domain of Era III techniques.
Such techniques invoke the power of universal consciousness—the greater aspect of ourselves, the matrix of creative energy in which we exist—to heal and transform our lives in ways that transcend the body and brain.
In Healing Words Dossey examines prayer as an example of what he calls “Era III medicine,” citing a wealth of scientific literature proving the extraordinary (if still little understood) power of prayer to heal even quite serious conditions.The connection between language (“healing words”) is further explored in the pioneering work of biophysicist Peter Gariaev, the father of “wave-genetics,” where human speech embedded in radio and light signals has been shown to be capable of curing life-threatening diseases and even regenerating damaged organs.
As explained in Conscious Healing, the Regenetics Method can be considered a specialized form of healing prayer, or “Active Prayer” to use Gregg Braden’s term from The Isaiah Effect: Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer & Prophecy.
Regenetics can also be conceptualized as a human-potential-based application of wave-genetics, in which language in the form of special vowel sequences is simultaneously applied vocally (through chanting) and mentally (through thought) to activate the recipient’s DNA.
DNA, in turn, broadcasts signals that prompt changes in the individual’s bioenergy blueprint, directing the latter to fortify, heal or transform specific parts of the body, mind, and spirit.
In the case of Microbiome Boost, this exciting new Regenetics DNA activation ener-genetically helps restore a healthy relationship, or feedback loop, between the bioenergy blueprint and microbiome.
When the microbiome clearly communicates with and begins to receive proper instructions from the ener-genetic blueprint that regulates physiology, profound changes in our internal floral balance can occur, resulting in equally profound changes in various conditions that stem from an imbalanced microbiome.
Eligibility for Microbiome Boost
Those wishing to experience Microbome Boost must first have passed the “sealing phase” of the first DNA activation in the Regenetics Method, Potentiation Electromagnetic Repatterning.
This means you must have experienced Potentiation roughly five months prior to receiving Microbiome Boost.
There are three ways to be “potentiated.” You can have a Facilitator perform your session for you as explained here. Alternatively, you can participate on a sliding scale in our monthly Worldwide Potentiation Ceremony. Or you can potentiate yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I receive Microbiome Boost while experiencing other DNA activations in the Regenetics Method?
A: Yes. So long as you have passed the sealing phase of Potentiation (which occurs at roughly the five-month mark), you can experience Microbiome Boost anytime, even while undergoing other DNA activations.
Q: Why do I have to experience Potentiation before Microbiome Boost?
A: Potentiation is the foundational DNA activation of the Regenetics Method that “resets” the bioenergy blueprint to a more stable configuration, making possible further enhancements to our bioenergetic functioning.
Q: Is Microbiome Boost a primary or supplementary DNA activation in the Regenetics Method?
A: Microbiome Boost is a supplementary DNA activation focused specifically on harmonizing our bioenergy blueprint with our internal microorganism ecosystem. The four primary Regenetics activations—Potentiation, Articulation, Eludication, and Transcension—are designed to clear ener-genetic distortions at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels, respectively.
Q: If I have already experienced all four primary DNA activations in the Regenetics Method, can I still benefit from Microbiome Boost?
A: Absolutely! Even after transforming our bioenergy blueprint via Regenetics, we are still constantly exposed to environmental influences that can impair our microbiome. Microbiome Boost is designed to further harmonize and strengthen the biome during or after the Regenetics process.

2. A Whole Branch of Science Turns out to Be Fake
Jon Rappoport
Devotees of science often assume that what is called science is real and true. It must be. Otherwise, their faith is broken. Their superficial understanding is shattered. Their “superior view” of the world is torpedoed.
Such people choose unofficial “anti-science” targets to attack. They never think of inspecting their own house for enormous fraud.For example: psychiatry.
An open secret has been slowly bleeding out into public consciousness for the past ten years.
THERE ARE NO DEFINITIVE LABORATORY TESTS FOR ANY SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDER.
And along with that:
ALL SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDERS ARE CONCOCTED, NAMED, LABELED, DESCRIBED, AND CATEGORIZED by a committee of psychiatrists, from menus of human behaviors.
Their findings are published in periodically updated editions of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), printed by the American Psychiatric Association.
For years, even psychiatrists have been blowing the whistle on this hazy crazy process of “research.”
Of course, pharmaceutical companies, who manufacture highly toxic drugs to treat every one of these “disorders,” are leading the charge to invent more and more mental-health categories, so they can sell more drugs and make more money.
But we have a mind-boggling twist. Under the radar, one of the great psychiatric stars, who has been out in front in inventing mental disorders, went public. He blew the whistle on himself and his colleagues. And for several years, almost no one noticed.
His name is Dr. Allen Frances, and he made VERY interesting statements to Gary Greenberg, author of a Wired article: “Inside the Battle to Define Mental Illness.” (Dec.27, 2010).
Major media never picked up on the interview in any serious way. It never became a scandal.
Dr. Allen Frances is the man who, in 1994, headed up the project to write the latest edition of the psychiatric bible, the DSM-IV. This tome defines and labels and describes every official mental disorder. The DSM-IV eventually listed 297 of them.
In an April 19, 1994, New York Times piece, “Scientist At Work,” Daniel Goleman called Frances “Perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America at the moment.”
Well, sure. If you’re sculpting the entire canon of diagnosable mental disorders for your colleagues, for insurers, for the government, for Pharma (who will sell the drugs matched up to the 297 DSM-IV diagnoses), you’re right up there in the pantheon.
Long after the DSM-IV had been put into print, Dr. Frances talked to Wired’s Greenberg and said the following:
“There is no definition of a mental disorder. It’s bullshit. I mean, you just can’t define it.”
BANG.
That’s on the order of the designer of the Hindenburg, looking at the burned rubble on the ground, remarking, “Well, I knew there would be a problem.”
After a suitable pause, Dr. Frances remarked to Greenberg, “These concepts [of distinct mental disorders] are virtually impossible to define precisely with bright lines at the borders.”
Frances should have mentioned the fact that his baby, the DSM-IV, had unscientifically rearranged earlier definitions of ADHD and Bipolar to permit many MORE diagnoses, leading to a vast acceleration of drug-dosing with highly powerful and toxic compounds.
Here is a smoking-gun statement made by another prominent mental-health expert, on an episode of PBS’ Frontline series. The episode was: “Does ADHD Exist?”
PBS FRONTLINE INTERVIEWER: Skeptics say that there’s no biological marker—that it [ADHD] is the one condition out there where there is no blood test, and that no one knows what causes it.
BARKLEY (Dr. Russell Barkley, professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center): That’s tremendously naïve, and it shows a great deal of illiteracy about science and about the mental health professions. A disorder doesn’t have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were the case, all mental disorders would be invalid …There is no lab test for any mental disorder right now in our science. That doesn’t make them invalid.
Without intending to, Dr. Barkley blows an ear-shattering whistle on his own profession.
So let’s take Dr. Barkley to school. Medical science, and disease-research in particular, rests on the notion that you can make a diagnosis backed up by lab tests. If you can’t produce lab tests, you’re spinning fantasies.
These fantasies might be hopeful, they might be “educated guesses,” they might be launched from traditional centers of learning, they might be backed up by billions of dollars of grant money … but they’re still fantasies.
Dr. Barkley is essentially saying, “There is no lab test for any mental disorder. If a test were the standard of proof, we wouldn’t have science at all, and that would mean our whole profession rests on nothing—and that is unthinkable, so therefore a test doesn’t matter.”
That logic is no logic at all. That science is no science at all. Barkley is proving the case against himself. He just doesn’t want to admit it.Psychiatry is all fraud all the time. Without much of a stretch, you could say psychiatry has been the most widespread profiling operation in the history of the human race. Its goal has been to bring humans everywhere into its system. It hardly matters which label a person is painted with, as long as it adds up to a diagnosis and a prescription of drugs.
300 so-called mental disorders caused by … what? No lab evidence. No defining diagnostic tests. No blood tests, saliva tests, brain scans, genetic assays. No nothing.
But psychiatrists continue to assert they are the masters of causation. They know what’s behind “mental disorders.” They’re in charge.
What about the generalized “chemical imbalance” hypothesis stating that all mental disorders stem from such imbalances in the brain?
Dr. Ronald Pies, the editor-in-chief emeritus of the Psychiatric Times, laid that hypothesis to rest in the July 11, 2011, issue of the Times with this staggering admission:
“In truth, the ‘chemical imbalance’ notion was always a kind of urban legend—never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists.”
Boom.
Dead.
The point is, for decades the whole basis of psychiatric drug research, drug prescription, and drug sales has been: “we’re correcting a chemical imbalance in the brain.”
The problem was, researchers had never established a normal baseline for chemical balance. So they were shooting in the dark. Worse, they were faking a theory. Pretending they knew something when they didn’t.
In his 2011 piece in Psychiatric Times, Dr. Pies tries to protect his colleagues in the psychiatric profession with this fatuous remark:
“In the past 30 years, I don’t believe I have ever heard a knowledgeable, well-trained psychiatrist make such a preposterous claim [about chemical imbalance in the brain], except perhaps to mock it … the ‘chemical imbalance’ image has been vigorously promoted by some pharmaceutical companies, often to the detriment of our patients’ understanding.”
Absurd. First of all, many psychiatrists have explained and do explain to their patients that the drugs are there to correct a chemical imbalance.
And second, if all well-trained psychiatrists have known, all along, that the chemical-imbalance theory is a fraud …
… then why on earth have they been prescribing tons of drugs to their patients …
… since those drugs are developed on the false premise that they correct an imbalance?
The honchos of psychiatry are seeing the handwriting on the wall. Their game has been exposed.
The chemical imbalance theory is a fake. There are no defining physical tests for any of the 300 so-called mental disorders. All diagnoses are based on arbitrary clusters or menus of human behavior. The drugs are harmful, dangerous, toxic. Some of them induce violence. Suicide, homicide. Some of the drugs cause brain damage.
So the shrinks have to move into another model of “mental illness,” another con, another fraud. And they’re looking for one.
For example, genes plus “psycho-social factors” cause mental disorders. A mish-mash of more unproven science.
“New breakthrough research on the functioning of the brain is paying dividends and holds great promise …” Professional PR and gibberish.
Meanwhile, the business model demands drugs for sale.
So even though the chemical-imbalance nonsense has been discredited, it will continue on as a dead man walking, a zombie.
Two questions always pop up when I write a critique of psychiatry. The first one is: psychiatric researchers are doing a massive amount of work studying brain function. They do have tests.
Yes, experimental tests. But NONE of those tests are contained in the DSM, the psychiatric bible, as the basis of the definition of ANY mental disorder. If the tests were conclusive, they would be heralded in the DSM. They aren’t.
The second question is: if all these mental disorders are fiction, why are so many people saddled with problems? Why are some people off the rails? Why are they crazy?
The list of potential answers is very long. A real practitioner would focus on one patient at a time and try to discover what has affected him to such a marked degree. For example:
Severe nutritional deficiency. Toxic dyes and colors in processed food. Ingestion of pesticides and herbicides. Profound sensitivities to certain foods. The ingestion of toxic pharmaceuticals. Life-altering damage as a result of vaccines. Exposure to environmental chemicals. Heavy physical and emotional abuse in the home or at school. Battlefield stress and trauma (also present in certain neighborhoods). Prior head injury. Chronic infection. Alcohol and street drugs. Debilitating poverty.
Other items could be added.
Psychiatry is: fake, fraud, pseudoscience from top to bottom. It’s complete fiction dressed up as fact.
But the obsessed devotees of science tend to back away from this. They close their eyes. If a “branch of knowledge” as extensive as psychiatry is nothing more than an organized delusion, what other aspect of science might likewise be parading as truth, when it is actually mere paper blowing in the wind?

3. Healthy Gut Found to Reduce Effects of Trauma: Study Explains Link between Microbiome & PTSD
Michelle Simmons, Natural News
A new study found that a healthy gut can lessen the effects of trauma, as reported by Science Daily. Researchers from Stellenbosch University analyzed the relationship of gut microbiome and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They compared the gut microbiomes of 18 individuals with PTSD to 12 people who also experienced trauma, but did not develop PSTD. They found a combination of three bacteria that were different in people who suffered from PTSD. These were Actinobacteria, Lentisphaerae, and Verrucomicrobia. (Related: Gut Health Linked to Anxiety, Depression & Autism.)
Results showed that the participants with PTSD had smaller numbers of the three bacteria in contrast to the trauma-exposed participants. In addition, those who experienced trauma when they were a child had lesser levels of two out of the three bacteria, namely Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia. These bacteria are known to regulate the immune system.“What makes this finding interesting, is that individuals who experience childhood trauma are at higher risk of developing PTSD later in life, and these changes in the gut microbiome possibly occurred early in life in response to childhood trauma,” said Stefanie Malan-Muller, lead author of the study.
The researchers also observed that the inflammation and changed immune regulation in participants with PTSD increased. They explained that these conditions could also affect the brain, brain functioning, and behavior. On the other hand, levels of inflammatory markers observed in individuals right after a traumatic event were found to be a sign of PTSD development.
The researchers hypothesized that immune deregulation and increased levels of inflammation among those who have PTSD may have led to the decrease of the three bacteria and may have played a role in the symptoms of their disease.
Still, the researchers were not able to identify if the decrease of gut bacteria was a factor in PTSD susceptibility or if it happened as a result of PTSD. However, the researchers believe that the study contributed to a better understanding of the factors that might take part in PTSD. Although, factors that influence PTSD susceptibility and resilience needs further research.
“[I]dentifying and understanding all these contributing factors could, in future, contribute to better treatments, especially since the microbiome can easily be altered with the use of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics, or dietary interventions,” the researchers noted.
The study was published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.
More on Microbiome & Stress Resilience
A study from the University of Colorado Boulder discovered that beneficial bacteria can help relieve stress and anxiety, according to a report by Scientific American. The researchers found that injecting beneficial bacteria into mice helped them become more resistant to the stress of living with bigger and more aggressive rats. They injected the mice with Mycobacterium vaccae, which acts like a drug that modulates the immune system of the mouse. Results showed that the injected rats showed less signs of anxiety or fear. Moreover, the injected rats acted more active around the bigger rats compared to those rats that were not injected with the bacteria.
“There is a growing recognition that the microbiome can impact health in general and more specifically, mental health,” said clinician Jeffrey Borenstein, president of the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation.
“Our study in PNAS [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences] showed we can prevent a PTSD-like syndrome in mice,” said Christopher Lowry, lead researcher of the mice study.
More on PTSD
The National Institute of Mental Health defines PTSD as a disorder that occurs in some people who previously experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. Anyone can develop PTSD at any age, including war veterans, children, and people who went through a physical or sexual assault, abuse, accident, disaster, or other serious events. In the United States, there are about 7.7 million adults living with PTSD, and 67 percent of people exposed to mass violence have been shown to develop PTSD.

4. 3 Characteristics of a True Political Awakening
Sigmund Fraud, Waking Times
History is written by the winners, or so they say, but there is an agreed upon version of our story that is taught to us in school and reinforced in everyday life by the media and government propagandists. Coasting through life haphazardly believing in this standardized version of reality is a form of consciousness, a contemporary way of relating to a world where the individual is consumed by the group, and truth becomes evermore out of reach.
The typical level of political awareness in our society is fairly basic, simplified and incomplete, but it serves as a functional trap for the mind and the imagination, pigeon-holing individuals into a conformist. This psychological trap preys upon two basic human traits: conservatism and progressivism. And because these traits are biologically hardwired into the human psyche, they are exploited as a fissure to create disharmony and division amongst the public.
Many people only rise to a level of political consciousness which allows them to understand their predisposition to one or the other of these traits. Awareness often ends here, with extreme devotion to one side of the publicized political spectrum.
The truth is that human societies have always needed an even distribution of people with each of these idealogical tendencies in order to achieve a balance between our need for external and internal control, protection and care. Political awakening involves rising above the prescribed psychology of division, into a position of appreciation of the qualities which unite us all.
This idea is enumerated in the following three characteristics of true political awakening.Trust in the Statist System Collapses
To continue to trust and support a consistently abusive master is often referred to as Stockholm Syndrome. When a person experiences a true and deep political awakening, it is not longer possible to excuse any of the crushing affronts to human rights and human dignity that are intrinsic to state power.
State power is historically abusive. The manipulation of our money supply, endless wars, wasting of public resources, corruption, permitting the destruction of the natural world, terrorizing citizens with abusive police and punitive tax codes, and limiting prosperity with regulatory overkill are all standard operating procedure for the state.
In a statist world, the awakening individual is tasked with the challenge of seeing through all of this in order to free the mind and see the greater possibilities for freedom and cooperation in the human story.
So-called Leaders Are Seen as Puppets of Division
Watching the pendulum of public opinion and discourse swing violently back and forth between the merits of two political parties is comical once you’ve recognized just how predictable and destructive it is. We are goaded into engaging in the divisiveness, encouraged by the rhetoric of the political establishment.
It is our unity they fear most. Falling into the trap of politically dogmatic ideological fortifications is more dangerous to our society than just about anything else, and the truly politically awake fly above the argumentative mentality of those who are trapped in the two-party paradigm.
Recognition That Politics Is Heavily Influenced by Powerful Forces
If politics is the arena of government, and government is clearly influenced by corporate interests, intelligence agencies and deep state operators, and supranational organizations, then it makes no sense to pretend that we have power in the political system. It makes no sense to pretend as though politicians are acting in the true interest of actual people. It makes no sense to pretend that we can save ourselves by calling on members of the state to represent us in their corrupt scene.
It is commonly known that politicians are beholden to special interests, and while they never talk openly about this influence, so many people carry on with the charade that politicians can wield power over these organization, for the benefit of the plebs. They cannot, for these forces are beyond their control. The politically awakened understand that the plots against humanity extend way beyond the political scene.
Final Thoughts
Unity is the one thing that any political elite has always feared the most. Without smashing down the perceived barriers in contemporary political consciousness we can only expect our society to become more fractured, chaotic and dangerous. Trust in that which deceives and harms us is simply not possible for the truly politically awakened.

5. Why Your Intuition May Be the Highest Form of Intelligence
Christina Sarich, Waking TimesOur intuition develops when we are babies, long before are indoctrinated into Newtonian physics—which largely prohibits us from understanding the quantum world. Ironically, one of our first intellectual abilities—intuition—may be one of the greatest forms of intelligence we will ever experience in a “grown-up” world.
In the quantum world, there are no “positions” or “speed.” These are classical, mechanical terms for a world that doesn’t really exist. Yet, as tiny babies we understand how things work without having a clear grasp of certain intellectual realities.
Psychologists Susan Hespos from Northwestern University and Renee Baillargeon of University of Illinois found that this physical intuition kicks in as early as two and a half months, and other scientists think that intuition is probably present from birth.
Gerd Gigerenzer, a director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, argues that intuition is less about suddenly “knowing” the right answer and more about instinctively understanding what information is unimportant and can thus be discarded, but even if we have intuition even at birth, one could argue that we have yet to develop the intellectual capacity to learn which information can be discarded.
Yet innate notions, plus “elaborations” born from watching and interacting with the world, add up to a sort of “naïve physics” that we all grasp before having a single physics lesson.
Max Born, who received the 1954 Nobel Prize for his contributions to the foundation of quantum mechanics, felt that our minds just weren’t up to the task of “intuiting” quantum physics. As he wrote in Atomic Physics, first published in English in 1935,
“The ultimate origin of the difficulty lies in the fact (or philosophical principle) that we are compelled to use the words of common language when we wish to describe a phenomenon, not by logical or mathematical analysis, but by a picture appealing to the imagination. Common language has grown by everyday experience and can never surpass these limits.”
Aristotle’s 2,300-year-old theories, in which heavy objects fall faster than light ones and objects in motion ease to a stop unless you keep pushing them, have been our assumption until now, but in the quantum world there is no friction. Objects can appear and disappear merely with our observation of them.
Some of Our Biggest Life Decisions Are Based on Intuition
The fact that our minds have evolved past avoiding being eaten so that we can also appreciate a great symphony or a breathtaking sunset might also account for the development of our intuition—or be explained further by quantum consciousness.
Gerd Gigerenzer, author of the book Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious, says that he is both intuitive and rational. He states,
“In my scientific work, I have hunches. I can’t explain always why I think a certain path is the right way, but I need to trust it and go ahead. I also have the ability to check these hunches and find out what they are about. That’s the science part. Now, in private life, I rely on instinct. For instance, when I first met my wife, I didn’t do computations. Nor did she.”
In fact, some of our biggest life decisions are based on a “hunch” and not some Newtonian calculation of reality. And that hunch is often extremely successful at telling us what to do in many varied, hands-on, real-life applications. Why?Quantum Computing Merely Mimics Quantum Intuition
It all makes more sense once we understand the latest research into quantum computing.
Regular computers use bits for processing. Everything is either a 1 or a 0, and from this foundation all letters and numbers can be created, and mathematical and logical problems solved.
When an atom replaces the bit, however, a 1 or 0 can be both a 1 or 0 at the same time. This means that complex mathematical calculations which might take millions of bits, and take up tons of storage space in a regular computer, can be compacted and done simultaneously, thus freeing up memory, and performing calculations at an unbelievable speed. However, our innate intuition may work in the very same way—tapping into the Quantum Intelligence that permeates all things.
If the Universe is indeed fractal, and connected and holographic, it would mean that a single atom contains the information of every Universe.
Since we are nothing more than a compilation of atoms (the wave-particle phenomenon notwithstanding) then we can tap into a quantum information/energy field. To use quantum computing terms, we could intuitively process large pieces of information or complex information in the blink of an eye because we are utilizing this field rather than some clunky 1s and 0s.
Physicists Use Human Intuition to Develop Better Quantum Computing
Interestingly, and quite a slap in the face to Max Born who proposed we were incapable of quantum intuition, physicists recently used human intuition and intelligence to create a better quantum computer.
150,000 people played a game called Quantum Moves several million times to help physicists to best determine real-world questions in their field.
Just playing a game, players solved real research questions in quantum physics, and found solutions that were better than trained physicists or state-of-the-art algorithms could find.
That’s worth a moment of reflection.
While this proves human intelligence is still better than AI, it also suggests that intuition is likely derived from the quantum field, of which we are all a part.
