Purpose Is Not Enough

They already know. That is, that the spirit of purpose is always evolving in and through those who allow him to do so. Purpose is the foundation and catalyst to infinite possibilities; those things that we once thought out of our reach and impossible to acquire or achieve. Purpose then is the door that quantifies possibility. I am sure once you delve into the core of the book, you will see clearly how natural and obvious this quantum world is to those you and I have admired for years. Purpose is the reason why! It’s why we exist in answer to the problems we are here to solve. There are four questions that everyone must answer if they are going to lead a successful life: who, what, where and why. ‘Who’, deals with identity. ‘What’, deals with potential. ‘Where’, deals with destiny. ‘Why’, deals with purpose. These questions once answered create psychological security as well as motivation. Richard Saul Wurman is a well-known architect and graphic designer who coined the phrase 'Information Architecture'. He has written many books and is the creator of several conferences such as TED, and TEDMED, the EG conference, the WWW conference, and others. Among these accomplishments Wurman is considered to be the architect and designer of techniques for making information understandable. After being a part of several conferences held by Mr. Wurman, I was amused at his cavalier approach to information and how easily he shared his view of knowledge. He inspired me in part, when he boldly declared “that the difference between him and the people that sat in the audience was he knew he was ignorant.” Another statement at the time of the interview was, “I have written over 80 books, and I knew nothing about the subject matter before I wrote them.” While it has taken me more than twenty years to understand some components of purpose, I don’t think I have mastered the science of quantum as yet, although I am well versed in principle. Mr. Wurman along with a few others have inspired me to stretch and test the limits of my own ignorance, and to break conventional barriers that held creative thinking hostage. So in this very unconventional way I explore the limitless expressions of purpose and the quantum world as we know it. Consciousness is transcendent, consciousness is unitive and consciousness is us CHAPTER 1 Setting the stage Understanding the Quantum world “In all your getting get understanding” Proverbs 4:7 “Common sense is merely the deposit of prejudice laid down in the human mind before the age of eighteen” -Albert Einstein When one hears the term "quantum physics" it is easily met with caution and curiosity in the shadow of its grandiose first impression. However, it actually refers to something at the microscopic level. The word ‘quantum’ comes from the latin word ‘quantus’ for "how much." The word entered the English language in the 16th century, meaning ‘a discrete amount of something’, but it became almost permanently associated with physics when Max Planck, Albert Einstein and their colleagues began developing the field of quantum mechanics. Those visionary scientists even invented the verb, "quantize," which they introduced in 1922 to describe the process of subdividing energy into small, measurable increments. The quantum world in its simplest expression, in my humble opinion, is the environment that makes up the things that we see in the natural as the whole. For example, when we look at an apple we don’t see the particle or energy that gives the apple its form, color, and existence. The most we can say is that the apple is in the seed and the seed holds an orchard, times infinity. This would be correct. However the apple seed is a complex, yet simple combination of particles that has built into it an infinite amount of possibility and potential. It is only made possible by the fact that the energy that created it succeeded in mastering the core of the apple’s existence, by making it so small that it’s monumental. Have you ever heard the term big things have small beginnings? In fact, there’s a text from the Bible that says, don’t despise small beginnings. Zechariah 4:10 Another way to look at the Quantum world is to think of it as a complex system designed to house and produce a desired result, times infinity. There is no limit to its expression of itself. From the nucleus, it sets the limit of what is possible for a thing, but it also removes that limit off of a thing. Quantum carefully administrates a perpetual evolution of mathematical equations to accurately and infinitely change the possibility of a thing. The quantum world is faith mechanics, a technology born to those who venture into its space. The cosmological model of the universe is the basis of this quantum system. It reveals the vastness of the universe, and deliberately tells a story of how small things can produce infinitely monumental things. The term quantum helps us to grasp both the order in which things are done, and that the cosmos exists in a complex order set by the quantum to fully embrace the purposes for which it was created.
