Quantum Psychology
I want the moon to be there, even when I’m not looking at it.
Nobody really understands quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, or quantum biology, or quantum psychology, or quantum theory.
If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet. ~ Niels Bohr
I have long been fascinated by the spooky world of quantum physics and quantum mechanics, where nothing makes sense, everything is possible, the totally weird is commonplace, and things seem to happen by random chance. Many respectable scientists will have nothing whatsoever to do with anything called Quantum ~ even Albert Einstein was unhappy about quantum physics.
God does not play dice with the universe. ~ Albert Einstein
Recently I discovered that there is a thing called quantum biology, where quantum effects are applied to biological objects, events, and problems.
It occurred to me that the spooky stuff in quantum mechanics could also be applied to physical, mental, sexual, and spiritual events and effects in humans. That there should be something called quantum psychology. It turns out that some other people believe that quantum psychology does exist, and they believe it is strange, spooky, and probably doesn’t make sense. In fact, anything to do with the quantum world is counterintuitive and goes against ‘common sense’.
If the word ‘fuck’ is obscene or dirty, why isn’t the word ‘duck’ 75% dirty. ~ Robert Anton Wilson.
The reason I started to believe in quantum psychology is that, from time to time, I have been instantly affected, (in real time), by thoughts and feelings my friend has, even though she is 5,256 miles away in Orange County, Southern California. There is a phenomena in quantum physics called quantum entanglement, where actions performed on one entangled particle affect the other, even when the entangled particles are separated by a great distance. Albert Einstein called this spooky connections and spooky action at a distance. I believe this spooky connection exists in quantum psychology, which is why things my friend does, thinks, or feels in California can affect me here in England.
This is weird, but if quantum psychology really does exist, then it is guaranteed to be weird. Quantum physics reveals the basic interconnectedness and oneness of all things in the universe, which reveals that all people are connected at some level, therefore I am connected to my friend, even when I’m in England and she is in Southern California.
…so many people have been hypnotized by Aristotelian yes / no logic to the extent that any step beyond that Bronze Age mythos seems to them a whirling, dizzying plunge into a pit of Chaos and the Dark Night of Nihilism. ~ Robert Anton Wilson.
This means that in the quantum world boolean algebra, which is basically yes / no and 0 or 1 logic, does not exist, or does not always apply. In the quantum world, in the world of quantum psychology, true and false do not actually exist. This absolutely mirrors the real world of medical psychology and practical psychology, where everybody lies, nothing is completely true, and understanding people is more of a black art than a science.
One of the sayings I found most useful form my study of Neuro Linguistic Programming is that information does not have to be true to be useful. The theories of Quantum Psychology may not be completely true, but they are a very useful way of understanding intimate interpersonal relationships. The theories of quantum psychology may even help men understand women.
Some women anyhow.

Quantum Mechanics and Life
Poetry has rules, the sea has rules, even chaos has rules. Quantum mechanics breaks all the rules that make sense in real life. Yet, if you look really carefully, some of the principles described to explain the sub-atomic world are perfectly logical in daily life.
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle says that it’s possible to know some things, but the more you know about one thing the less you know about another. I know some people who are world experts in their field, but I wouldn’t trust them with a can opener ~ they have concentrated on knowing everything there is to know about one thing, to the exclusion of knowing anything at all about everything else. That is a perfect example of being a hopeless human being. A real Renaissance Man knows a lot about everything, and at one in the same time can do most things ~ from making a wooden chair to designing a boat, and then building it.
Quantum logic also states that the very act of observing something changes the thing / person you are observing. We all know this is absolutely true. As a gross example most people will not scratch their groin if they think there is anyone watching them. A more subtle example is to be found in your significant other. He / she behaves differently when you are around to the way she / he behaves when she is alone or with a circle of friends that does not include you. Normally your significant other is much better behaved when you are observing them than when they are free of your scrutiny. Most sane people will not have sex with another person / several people when you are watching them.
In fact, if you are watching something / someone, both of you stop being independent entities and become one system. For example, professional sports cannot exist without a crowd, and the crowd becomes part of the game.
And, then there is the damn cat. Schrödinger’s cat lives in a box and is both dead and alive at one in the same time. The assumption is that the cat is neither dead or alive until you open the box and take a look. As far as I am concerned the only lesson you can take into real life from this bit of quantum logic is that it’s pointless to worry about anything until it happens. Don’t dig a grave until you have an actual dead cat.
Schrödinger’s cat leads into the probabilistic nature of the universe. This says two things;
- Nothing is certain. There is only a choice of probable / possible outcomes which range from the very likely to the almost totally impossible. But, any of those outcomes is possible.
- Even the most unlikely thing can and will happen.
Someone will win big on the lottery the first time they buy a ticket. The Americans will honestly believe they know how to make a cup of tea. President Obama will not make a fool of himself in Africa.
The multiple universes claimed to exist by quantum theory mean that anything imaginable is possible. For example; Isis and Aphrodite exist today, King Arthur is alive and well and still has Excalibur, and I may finally come to terms with the true nature of spirituality. No, that last will never happen.
