CHAPTER 4

The Quantum Field and the

Human Mutation

We must stop worshiping a dispassionate “truth” and expecting the

experts to lead us to it. There’s a higher intelligence, one that comes

to us via our very molecules and results from our participation

in a system far greater than the small, circumscribed one we

call “ego,” the world we receive from our five senses alone. New

understanding from quantum physics and information theory

points us away from the cool, detached, solitary genius, the one

who has the answers that others don’t have, as if the truth could

be owned, and toward a more collegial, participatory model of

knowledge acquisition. The rational, masculine, materialistic world

we live in places too much value on competition and aggression.

Science at its most exalted is a truth-seeking endeavor, which

encompasses the values of cooperation and communication,

based on trust—trust in ourselves and in one another.112

—Candace Pert, Molecules of Emotion

It is one of the many ferocious paradoxes of our time that while our worship of technology is threatening to destroy us, science itself is opening an unprecedented door to the possibility of the birth of a new human species.

In The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality, Paul Levy opens a chapter entitled “A Physics of Possibilities,” by stating:

The hallmark of an unobserved quantum entity is to hover in a ghostly ethereal state between the extremes of existence and nonexistence, where it can be said to both exist and not exist at the same time. . . . This is to say it exists in all possible states (each one a parallel world), not fully occupying any possibility until the moment it is observed.

The moment of observation is when [in John Archibald Wheeler’s words], “an elementary quantum event takes place. It is the act of observation that forces nature to “make up its mind” and manifest itself in a specific state that we experience, thus becoming a determinate feature of our world. 113

When we consider the extraordinary new possibilities the quantum field opens up to us, the notion of a mutation toward a new species of humanity is no longer merely an outrageous chimera. Since the quantum field is being revealed as one of infinite potential, the new relationship with it that is now possible could engender infinite possibilities for our own evolution—infinite potential limited only by our imagination and attitude.

The great American theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler opined that everything, in fact, entire universes emerged out of nothingness. In his journal, he wrote, “You start with nothing to get everything.” That “nothing” from which something arose should not be confused with emptiness or a vacuum. That “nothingness” is filled with enormous energy density and is actually a plenum or an overflowing fullness of pure creativity—effectively disguising itself as a vacuum. In other words, as many spiritual traditions have taught, form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.114 And just as the nothingness from which everything arises is an overflowing fullness of pure creativity, so the evolutionary possibilities that we could create in harmony with the field, dancing with its infinite potential, could also be endless.
