Metaphysical concepts are sometimes most readily understood when expressed in metaphor. I invite you to think of how this reality works by reference to Amazon. In that metaphor, physical things arrive at your door because they are delivered by an entirely physical Amazon delivery van. If you were remarkably naïve and extraordinarily forgetful, you might regard the Amazon delivery van as being the cause in itself of what arrives at your door. However, you actually know there is more to it than the delivery van. You know that what arrives at your door is a function of what you ordered online.
Our Earthly reality works a lot like that. There are always physical causes for what shows up in your reality. Whether the metaphorical “Amazon delivery van” is the actions of a significant other or a co-worker or some random individual or some level of government, or perhaps a fluke of nature or a series of “coincidences”, there is always a physical cause. Irrespective of whether what shows up in your reality is delightful or horrible, good or bad, or just “meh”. And yet, the underlying – and more significant – aspect is what you ordered “online”, i.e., in the world of metaphysics.
As I explained in my recent book EARTH GAME The Next Level, you are placing orders all day long. With every thought that you think, and everything you pay attention to, and every word that you say, either aloud or inside your head. As for the “Great Amazon in the Sky” that fulfills your orders, I call that the “Universe”. By which I mean the great Quantum fulfillment machinery (not that it is “machinery” in a physical sense) that on behalf of “Source/God” runs this operation I call “Earth Game”.
As for how all that works, well, I went into that in detail in my book. For present purposes, the key element is that your thoughts are not ordering up things as such. Rather, they are ordering up the Earth Game experiences that will come your way. It is the quality of your thoughts that determines what the Universe as fulfillment center will drop into your physical reality from the myriad of Quantum possibilities available to it. Just as there is a remarkable array of goods you can order from Amazon, the “Multiverse” (i.e., Quantum) aspect of the Universe yields an array of possible outcomes available for delivery into your physical world in any particular scenario.
You can think of the quality of your thoughts in terms of the frequency of your thoughts, the vibration they are tuned to, and the things to which your thoughts resonate. I call all of that your “Quantum Signal”. You will have a default or base “Quantum Signal” that reflects your outlook on your Earthly adventure, and your Quantum Signal will also fluctuate with each thought you think and whatever aspect of your life you happen to be thinking about.
In any moment, you can discern with absolute clarity the quality of your Quantum Signal by how your thoughts feel. If they feel good, uplifting, expansive, empowered, connected – good Quantum Signal. If they feel bad, downcast, triggered, fearful, disempowered – not good Quantum Signal. The mechanism is simple enough to understand, although challenging to master. A Quantum Signal that feels good means you are ordering up experiences you will like. A Quantum Signal that does not feel good means you are ordering up experiences you will not like. If your Quantum Signal gives you mixed feelings, you can expect mixed results.
There is of course a complexity to all this. For one thing, there is a time lag. You may be able to count on Amazon to deliver the day after you order something; the Universe is somewhat more “fluid” than that. Moreover, as the Universe lines up the physical causes (i.e., delivery vehicles), it also syncs things up with all the other players in this massively multi-player game.
Do remember that you are not ordering up physical things as such. Repeating the words “I need more money” one thousand times with focused concentration will not be auto-processed in literal terms by the Universe. Rather, the Universe will respond to the energetic essence of every thought you think. If the underlying theme of your thoughts is a scarcity of money or a lack of abundance generally, that is what the Universe will process as your order. Nor can you “con” the process. If you want more abundance in your life, you will need to think thoughts that presently are abundant. Again, simple but far from easy.
Yet another complexity is that the Universe’s fulfillment system is not the only thing going on here. There is the Earth’s story, and there is your story. Each is an existing narrative, much of it pre-written. In your case, much of the story of your life was pre-determined (or, pre-ordered, in the metaphorical context) before you were born. And yet, important details of that story are for you to write. Rest assured that, whatever the pre-ordained narrative of your story, whatever the purpose and plan for your current lifetime, it is up to you – and your powerful Free Will – to find either success or failure along the way. Even in the context of the evolving story of humanity on Earth, it is still for you to determine the quality of your personal experience within that narrative. You are by no means merely a cork bobbing along on a roiling sea. Rather, when you (mostly) become the master of the Quantum Signal that you are transmitting from moment to moment, you assume considerable editorial control over your personal story. No longer merely reacting to what happens to get delivered to your door; instead, your external world increasingly responds to your signal. Instead of the game playing you, it is now you playing the game.
All of this will become increasingly important in 2025. Reacting to the world will be a particularly poor strategy if the year proves to be as chaotic and changeable as looks to be likely. The game is amping up; it would be a very good time to take your game to the “next level”.
Now that I have mentioned 2025, I should make mention of all the predictions that will be made. You will likely be fascinated by those predictions; so will I. But even as we find that to be good fun, let us not be thrown off track. Each one of us will be more at the controls of our own personal game than we would dare to dream. Do not – DO NOT – forget that the quality of your personal 2025 will be largely a function of the orders you place. By your Quantum Signal. And by where you place your attention. You can if you wish default all that to the rising and falling tides of the energies of the year and what the masses generally happen to order up. But why would you want to do that, when there is a materially more empowered way to play the game?
Even where predictions focus on developments in the bigger story – i.e., the story of humanity on Earth – they can only be predictions of probable futures. And even there, the Universe recalculates probabilities with each passing thought emitted by any of the array of players in this massively multi-player game. Do not rule out the possibility that your thoughts may help to tip the balance one or way or the other in the unfolding of Earth’s story. You want a peaceful world in 2025? Then dare to imagine a peaceful world – and hold that thought.
The first step in mastering your Quantum Signal is becoming more aware of your thoughts. Especially the quality of your thoughts. As you notice your thoughts as they scroll by, think of them as placing orders for deliveries in 2025. If those thoughts too often are thoughts of scarcity, or fear, or loneliness, or lack of deserving, or desperation, or bitterness, notice how that feels. Then imagine all that as placing orders that will be fulfilled over the next while. And then ask yourself how you might lift your thoughts to a better-feeling place. You can find various suggested techniques to that end in EARTH GAME The Next Level. Meditation is a wonderful way to hit the “reset” button. Or, simply go for a walk in nature. (The reason that spending time in nature always makes you feel better is that the Earth’s frequency/vibration/resonance has already lifted to the “high notes” that await our personal discovery.) Or, just come back to the empowering mantra with which I like to start my day: I am Source/God having an adventure, playing a game, weaving a story; I am an actor in a grand play of divine creation.
If monitoring the many thousands of thoughts that you think over the course of the day seems like too much, then perhaps start by paying attention to your words. What you say, what you text, what you write. If words you have just spoken truly were placing “orders” with the Universe (which they are), would you be happy with the orders you just placed? You can defend all the complaining, grousing, whining, snipping and just-plain-triggeredness all you want, but know that you are ordering up a reality that will be a match for all that. Is that what you want to take delivery of in 2025? If you can begin to develop a habit of flagging negative thoughts and immediately cancelling orders you do not want fulfilled (i.e., make use of the time-lag), you will be on your way.
Take a moment to imagine the 2025 you would like to personally experience. No need to be “realistic” or “face facts”. And do forget about the past, even if only for the moment. Just find a way to think thoughts of the future that put a smile on your face. Do not focus on the world “out there” fixing itself so that you can feel safe; play your own game for the moment. If you wait until governments and politicians do things the way you want them to and no countries are at war, you will miss the moment. It is in the moment that your thoughts matter, that they are sending out orders to the great fulfillment center that I call the “Universe”. You have more dominion over the quality of your personal reality than you imagine.
The true cause-and-effect symphony of how your life is playing out will become entirely clear to you when your lifetime is over, i.e., when all of that detail is revealed to you in the course of your “Life Review” (as discussed in EARTH GAME The Next Level). Why not roll the dice on that now? Surely the risk/reward equation is skewed in favor of making an assumption that your thoughts matter – and are placing orders that will materially affect your future. Even if I am incorrect (which I am not) about the importance of your Quantum Signal, there is no downside to thinking thoughts that immediately make you feel better than the garbage thoughts that for some unexplainable reason we all sometimes prefer to think.
The specifics of your thoughts are less important than the quality, i.e., the signal they are emitting. If the essence of your thoughts is that you are powerful, abundant, adventurous, vigorously healthy, joy-filled, and oh-so-loved, the outcomes, over time, are going to be just fine. If all those good-feeling themes fill up your days, the specifics of what the Universe delivers to your physical door won’t really matter, will they?
Let 2025 be a bold thought-experiment. Treat it as a blank page, and fill that page up with things beautiful and wondrous. The Universe will be more than happy to fulfill your very personal order.
