What kinds of questions would you ask, if you discovered Nature always answers?
Physicist John Archibald Wheeler wrote and talked about how we live in a participatory universe, in which the questions we ask are answered by Nature. Wheeler proposed a kind of twenty questions that he called “Negative Twenty Questions,” where the respondent chooses a pattern of yes or no answers, but not any particular outcome or object. This variation of Twenty Questions counts on the respondent to provide logically consistent responses to a series of questions, in such a way that each answer could be viewed as logically compatible with all prior answers. The questioner can thus settle upon a definite answer, as the series of questions narrows the options. Wheeler envisioned that consciousness played some kind of similar role. Wheeler once said, “We are participators in bringing into being not only the near and here but the far away and long ago. We are in this sense, participators in bringing about something of the universe in the distant past—and if we have one explanation for what's happening in the distant past, why should we need more?”
If we take this idea of the participatory universe seriously, you can have fun experimenting with what happens differently on a day where you ask the Cosmos first thing upon awakening, “How good can it get?” —compared with what happens on a different day when your thoughts wander in other directions, or you have a different question in your gut, heart, and mind. I love to include all three neural centers (gut, heart, mind), since these three levels of ourselves can sometimes pull in slightly different directions, depending on how aligned we are within ourselves between what we are envisioning, what we truly love, and what we actually need.
It's my experience that whenever I ask Nature questions that I deeply feel in my gut, mind, and heart—I get answers. This helped me become symptom and relapse free from longhaul covid last year. It also has been helpful to me this past month, when I've wished to photograph some beautiful plants and animals while taking my morning walk; I was delighted to find many sweet plants and animals showing up as if it was Picture Day at school, and they were excited to have their portraits taken!
I've seen the down side of asking questions that people don't actually wish to live the answers to, when they've said things like, “What else could possibly go wrong?” Thinking and asking questions such as these are somewhat similar to steering directly into pot holes in the road. While we may have picked up such habits of thinking and speaking, we can start to turn these patterns around. When we realize that we live in a participatory Cosmos, it makes a lot of sense to stop asking questions that we don't wish to live the answers to.
My fine-tuning adjustment to John Archibald Wheeler's “negative questions” is to ask a series of “positive questions.” By developing the discipline to keep seeking silver linings, gifts, and delightful surprises in all situations, we are capable of seeing reality shifts, Mandela Effects, and quantum jumps that we might otherwise never experience at all. We are constantly asking questions, whether we are conscious of it or not, so there is some advantage in adopting positive question mantras, such as, “How good can it get?”
This month you can join me for three exciting events! I'll be presenting the upcoming Quantum Leap course segment on Saturday, June 18th starting at 10am PT. A few days later, I'll be joining Lee Carroll and Monika Muranyi for the Kryon Circle of Twelve on Wednesday, June 22nd at 6pm PT. On Wednesday, June 29th at 11am PT, I'll be joining other members of the International Mandela Effect Conference (IMEC) and geobiologist Rory Duff for a livestream conversation on IMEC Open Tables about Changing Energetic Times. I'd love to see you at any or all of these events, if you're able to join me!
I hope you know that you're always welcome to explore some truly amazing reality shifts over the past twenty plus years that they've been reported in RealityShifters. Any time you'd like to remind yourself of some of the remarkable changes we've witnessed, I welcome you to browse through a few issues, and fall more deeply and fully in love with the wonder and magic of life!
