On a Personal Note: When I sat down to write this guide to Quantum Being, to lay down a path, presenting the method that became my way of life for others who might find it valuable and meaningful, I found that the concept of how to do this most effectively was a real challenge. I wondered how I could transmit my own profound inner experience, that was beyond words, in a way that would allowed my message to be delivered through written words. I wanted to write: "Quantum Being is and ", but each time I felt that the written words and the message I wanted to deliver were only fractions of the deep experience I was going through every day, in the healing and transformation experiences I was going through personally, and in the treatments and meetings with my students during and after the courses that I taught. There is a Zen saying that goes: "The finger that points at the moon is not the moon". The words in this guide are meant to help us understand the meaning that is beyond the words themselves. I invite all of us to read them with an open heart and an open mind. The growth processes and the development which occur happens most effectively, with playfulness and joy. I wish for you to find what you never lost, and I hope that these words serve as a guide that will help you, and open the future before you through this invaluable process, aside from life itself, its endless unfathomable brilliance, and the love that you may find in their unification. May we hear and obey, listen, play and rest, as we walk along the path of life with an open heart, Or Koren "Come, come, whoever you are Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving It doesn t matter Ours is not a caravan of despair Come, even if you have broken your vow A thousand times Come yet again, come, come" -Jalal ad-din Muhammad Rumi 3
What is Quantum Being? In order to explain quantum being, we will first break down the phrase and evaluate each word separately as an entire world in and of itself. Being - to Listen from the Heart: As opposed to hearing which is the technical activity that occurs through the hearing organ the ear listening involves the heart. When we learn to listen with our hearts, additional, novel qualities from the use of our senses begin to appear, naturally opening before us, to our innate intuitiveness to life, and to the potential healing and change that we have inside us. "Listening" is not limited only to our sense of hearing. You can utilize all of your senses and integrate all of them when listening. This allows us to begin listening with our hearts as we see, feel, smell, taste and of course hear the person in front of us, or the situation in which we find ourselves. Listening while using our heart brings us to a state in which we are more present, more in a state of "being". The more present we are, the greater our ability to live with a free will. This freedom, first and foremost, is the freedom to feel. Emotions are something that is always inside of us and they are constantly in motion. We do have some level of control over the expression of our emotions; however, we do not have control over the authentic emotions that are already inside of us. We cannot order our emotions to disappear. We can choose whether to speak or remain silent. Throughout our lives we may try to avoid feeling a certain emotion because we might feel that it is "negative", or perhaps "threatening". However, the understanding that feeling an emotion does not necessarily mean acting upon it, opens a new door for us that is the door to freedom, the freedom to feel, or in other words, the freedom to listen to what we feel, without the need to Immediately act upon that feeling. In quantum being we learn how to alter the equation of: stimulus response that occurs at every moment of the day, to: stimulus listening, being present with your heart taking action. 4
Quantum Theory Quantum theory describes the behavior of matter on the smallest scale such as the atomic and subatomic levels. These forces are not physical on the scale of our senses, but their movements create the physical world and the way in which we perceive it. We meet the connection between the world of quantum particles which serves as the basis of substance, and the material world as we experience it through our senses. The term "quant" describes the tiniest possible particle/quantity that allows a change in a certain condition of a system. For example, a photon of light is a quantum of light meaning the smallest particle of an electromagnetic field. Quantum physics offers an explanation for the occurrence of a number of phenomena that cannot otherwise be explained through classic physics. It is a magical world in which the matter no longer behaves like "classic" matter. The most well-known of these concepts is the wave-particle phenomenon. This phenomenon relates to the fact that under certain experimental conditions, in which isolated particles, such as electrons, are sent through two slits, researchers found that the above present an interference pattern. That is, the electron passed through both of the slits simultaneously acting as though it was a wave and not a particle of matter that is only able to be in one place at a time. The particles were in a state known as "superposition" in which, essentially, the particles made a "quantum leap". However, when researchers tried to determine where the electrons were located when they passed through the slits, those "energetic beings" were now passing through just one slit, behaving like particles. This process, of moving from superposition to position, from infinite possibilities to one possibility, occurred purely as a result of the measurement. In quantum physics this process is also known as a collapse of the wave function or collapse of quantum states. It can be considered to be the other side of the coin in terms of quantum leaps, resulting from a state of superposition. One might say that quantum leaps that produce the phenomenon of superposition, as it manifests on the quantum level are the main elements that differentiate between the quantum world and the macroscopic world of our daily life. A world in which, as we all know, an object is not capable of moving at two different speeds simultaneously, just as an object cannot be two different colors. In the quantum world, however, these phenomena, these quantum leaps, are not only possible but are fully acceptable and make sense. In the "quantum being world", the way in which scientists choose to look at the experiment, or more precisely: the way in which they choose to listen to the experiment, affects its outcome. 5
Fusion: Quantum Being The essence of quantum being is the understanding of the significance of how we choose to meet things in our life and in our bodies. In this context, it seems that when we judge and analyze things, it is possible that we give them a material-like quality, fixing them in place and bring about their collapse, that is, their presence in our reality. Conversely, when we are present and listen to life and what is found inside of us without judging, we allow these feelings and emotions to be in a state of superposition, to behave as a wave and make quantum leaps. The analysis/judgment, in their essence, are analytic moving in the direction of yes or no, and not both. Therefore they are parallel to the measurement in the experiment. As opposed to being and listening, which does not require a decision and allowing the state of superposition to exist. In this state, in practice, a tumor can disappear, a broken bone can heal and the quality of fear and the body chemistry that accompanies it, such as an increase in stress hormones, can disappear. A world opens up before us and it can change to a state of calm that is subsequently expressed in our physiology, all of this is derived from a process and depth of listening. It is important to me to mention that the goal of quantum being is much broader than healing one pathology or another. Dealing with this path as a tool for healing alone, severely limits its fantastic potential to bring about change and transformation in our developmental processes. That said, it is certainly possible that phenomena of wellness and spontaneous healing of the body, out of the recollection of the natural abilities to balance and heal, would be a welcome result. When we learn how to listen and observe our bodies in a new way and on a quantum scale, we connect to the energetic level from which our bodies are composed, and to the basic vibrations that eventually produce the matter on this scale, and in this plane. From this place, in which the body serves, exists, and functions as energy with a deep intelligence, we can allowed healing and change in the physical, emotional, and mental body, and also in the rest of the energetic and spiritual bodies, to bring about breakthroughs in our consciousness, our perception of the world, and reality. We can enter the quantum spaces between the beats and, from there; create our lives anew at every moment. In other words, the presence, the quantum being, allows us to go back to a state of superposition in which we invite the essence of the source of creation to fulfill, produce, and manifest the most ideal position for us. 6
As we enter into the sensations and the organs in our bodies, and we listen to them from within, we will discover that the emotions are the bridge which connects the physical body and the soul, and represents the spirit. Emotions have a quantum nature, and when we reach them in a quantum manner, meaning, that is from a state of listening to a present existence, the flowing emotions change the particles which compose the matter into waves of flowing awareness. Even if we discover within ourselves emotions that seem to contradict each other such as: fear and courage, sadness and joy, doubt and belief, in quantum being these emotions are like quantum particles which are found within a state of superposition. From within a state of superposition our lives are being created anew at each and every moment creates a situation of position at the highest, most beneficial manner for us, together with the energy of the source. 7
Matter and Emotions Both the substance and the emotions are essentially different types of melodies with unique vibrations. Every emotion has its own melody, its own color, and its own vibration. When we hold our emotions in our bodies (as a result of fears and traumas, for example), we prevent the nature of our emotions from flowing. When emotions are held back or suppressed, their vibrations in the body are inharmonious. The key to change is the healing and release of the suppressed emotional memories at the cellular level, and even at the level of our DNA, along with a change in the old habits that were built upon these memories. In order to allow for a natural mechanism of renewal to implement itself in the nature of the body and soul of a person, we must ensure that there is no repetition of the old patterns, and to make sure not to transfer the suppressed or unsolved emotional memory on to the next generation of renewing cells. Quantum being supports the process that allows for these emotional memories, whether they affect chemical processes in the body, or whether they are already in a state of imbalance or pathology, to return back to their original state. There they will be fulfilled through new and balanced spontaneously healing at every level of the existence of our being. 8
Quantum Being Meditation Meditation is a vehicle that we can utilize as we approach the process of awareness, Healing, and change with quantum listening. The meditation encourages a slowing of the brain waves, and from there it also allows for a change in our state of mind, bringing about a wider and deeper understanding of our senses in terms of what is beyond them. This meditation is not a condition for quantum listening but rather is a helpful tool that is meant to offer us a connection, and to allow for precise listening, as well as physical, mental, and emotional healing through development and growth, in the developmental process and our own growth. Moving Inward toward Infinity: From the physical level we will now enter with our listening and our awareness into the organs and atoms that built them, until we reach a level of pure energy from which everything is created. Here we will experience ourselves as pure potential, a moment prior to its establishment as matter. That is the place from which the training, and the understanding, for self-healing, comes. We will start from our bodies, a body built out of tissues. We go inwards into one of the tissues, perhaps into the tissue of the heart Tissues are composed of a collection of cells. We will select a cell and enter into it with our consciousness. In the nucleus of the cell is our DNA and we will continue inwards into it as well, We will dive into the molecules that build the nucleotide acids that compose the DNA. Molecules are made out of atoms, we will continue inwards into a single atom, which is 99.9% void. We will continue inwards into the nucleus of the atom, into the subatomic particles that comprise the nucleus. We then continue to "zoom in", into the particles that build the neutrons and protons, into the quarks (the protons and neutrons are each composed of three quarks). And, if we continue inwards at this point as well, further and further inwards, we will reach the vibration energy. (This is the place where, according to my understanding, the unexpressed emotional energy is stored in a manner that affects the vibrations and the frequencies that form the body and the material world). We will continue inward into the energetic field of awareness, the source of everything created, the infrastructure of everything that exists, energy with infinite intelligence that knows itself as an ocean of awareness. Now we remember that we are connected to it and that we were always connected to it, to an infinite source of love, intelligence, and healing. Essentially, it is the creational field of the awareness of creation, from which we have come. 9
At this level, the entire universe is composed of the same energy, from the same fabric. Look at the body as a sea of vibrating energy arising from pure consciousness. We will expand and allow the feeling of pure energy to flow in us and around us as a single living and vibrating fabric. We can continue to expand towards the earth and sense it as a continuation of ourselves. We will become one with Mother Earth and the entire world. We will expand within our conciseness to the entire solar system and the entire universe. We are in Quantum Being.
Bonus from the Book on Quantum Being: Nadav invites his fear out to play I chose to finish this guide to Quantum Being by sharing a magical story that I received from a dear friend. We did some treatments together, which she implemented afterwards excellently with her son, as you will see. The reason that I chose to finish with an example involving a child, is because children use their listening abilities in a marvelous way. They are simple, honest and brave: "Hi Orchik, I wanted to share with you the experience last night with my seven-year-old son Nadav from. Recently, he has had nightly terrors of robbers and murderers. We had sessions on this in the past, they helped but the fears returned. Yesterday I offered him what you and I spoke about to experience the fear in his body. He was afraid that it would kill him to feel the fear, but with his consent I taught him that it is safe for him to feel every emotion. Initially he said that the fear was in his entire body. I asked him how it felt. Shaking? Cramps? He said it was a knot in his stomach. So I told him that I was holding his hand and that he could just feel the knot in his stomach and that if he would like to share something with me, he was welcome. After a short time, he told me that he asked the fear if he wants to play with him and the fear said yes. The fear said that because he runs away from him every day, he comes back because he just wants to play with him. They decided to play ping pong and then soccer. Within a minute, he was asleep. In the morning he told me that he told the fear that he is allowed to come back every once in a while when he wants to play. And that when he slept, a little bit of fear remained but that it too passed during the night. The interesting thing is that I had already offered him the opportunity to speak about the fear in the past, to look at it, to breathe on it, but I forgot about it recently, I only tried to solve the fear. And yesterday it was just beautiful to see the effect of the readiness to deal with the fear, instead of trying to escape". After a few days, she wrote to me again: "Tonight Nadav waited for the fear to come out and play before he went to sleep, but the fear didn t come."
A Few Words about Gentle Nurturing in the Development Process When you have humility and self-compassion in the development process, that is true spirituality, otherwise what you have is just knowledge. Spiritual knowledge, as high as it is, is not indicative of spirituality itself in man. First and foremost, spirituality is to be for ourselves what the source created for us unselfish love. In a certain sense, quantum listening is the cultivation of gentleness in our approach towards ourselves, and serves as a springboard in the development process. When the frequency of love meets a listening awareness, it can be absorbed. For me, quantum listening is not another technique or another method. It is the essence that is found in the heart of all of the techniques, methods, and life. When I internalize it in my heart, much gentleness enters the process of my development. Many times in the past this process included self-deterioration and self-criticism that remained unnoticed. The more I listened with my whole being to myself and into my heart, the more I managed to open into the depth of the intelligence and the guidance that came out of me and out of the world. I am happy that compassion turned into the light that illuminates my path and I invite you to join me.
