QSP and Multi-Causality: Axiom 10 – Management

Peace Be With You!

Always hoping there is brightness in your world! In my last Post I shared about our fan and queen palm trees and the decision we needed to make. At least I thought we did. I think the trees were ‘feeling’ me when I was writing the Post because within one to two weeks something interesting happened. I even mentioned how intent I was feeling while writing last month. But I can’t just tell you what happened without giving you some background. My desire is to assist you in understanding QSP (the Quantum Sociological Perspective) and learning how to use that knowledge to your best advantage. The understanding of QSP and the regular practice of Qigong can empower you in all aspects of your life. That certainty is my motivation for writing this Blog, sharing these introductory ideas with you, and inviting you to study Qigong with me.

QSP Challenges Your Thinking and Your Senses

After some four centuries of being socialized into the Newtonian worldview (law-based, reductionist, materialist, atomist, dualist, and deterministic) it is difficult for many of us raised in Western cultures to wrap our minds around the Quantum Sociological Perspective. We are coming full circle but our journey is not yet complete. For millennia our ancient ancestors and indigenous peoples around the world have described a world in which everything is alive and related to everything else. They referred to other living things, plants, animals, and insects as our relatives. The sky, the waters, the clouds, and the earth were beings with their own natures and degrees of sentience. They spoke of and lived in a world in which the unseen was everywhere and was as real as the seen, if not more so. It was a world in which interacting with and through those unseen forces was as important as any other activity in their and our everyday lives.

Over time the worldview of our ancestors was supplanted by the spread of empire-building religions, the 17^th and 18^th Century ideas of Sir Isaac Newton, Rene’ Descartes, and the Rational-Scientific Worldview. The world became a machine without life or sentience, an inanimate object without spirit, a cornucopia to satisfy the appetites of man, and the bond between humans and their relatives was broken. Worldviews affect human behavior, and how we behave affects the world around us. Indigenous cultures and traditions persist and remain influential worldviews for many. These indigenous ways of being in the world were able to sustain themselves for tens of thousands of years. The scientific worldview is comparably more significant in the world today. And in less than one thousand years it has produced negative consequences that are fast outweighing the benefits it has produced.

During the 20^th Century a significant shift in thinking began to occur. The Scientific Worldview began going through drastic and profound change. The physical science ideal of mathematical precision and predictability, as elaborated by Galileo, Newton, and their heirs, underwent an amazing transformation when Big Bang cosmology substituted an expanding, unstable universe for the Newtonian world machine. Today Quantum Physics is taking us even further, deeper into a universe of incredible depth and complexity, beauty and mystery, seen and unseen forces (Take a few minutes to view the Scale of the Universe web site. It is awesome!). The journey of science has now reached the point of confirming what our ancestors and indigenous peoples around the world have understood for millennia. There is more to this world than can be experienced by our five senses. The universe is alive! Everything is connected to everything else!

Multi-Causality

Any social phenomenon that you choose to call ‘Y’ is invariably the result of more than one causal element ‘X’. Y = F(X1, X2, X3, X4, …, XN) where ‘N’ is an infinite number and 'F' implies 'a function of'.

After writing my last Post I had pretty much decided to cut down the queen palm so that the fan palm could survive and mature. A few days later I fertilized the yard including the two palm trees. One to two weeks after my last Post I noticed that both the fan palm and the queen palm that we discussed had become more vibrant and a few new palms had emerged. Certainly I should consider fertilizing the trees as one of the causal elements in explaining their ‘sudden’ growth and vibrancy. Somewhere in my list of causal elements I would also consider the possibility and probability that the trees ‘felt’ my own thoughts and feelings and reacted to them by demonstrating that they could thrive together. QSP says that the universe is alive and that everything has a degree of sentience. Research on plant life supports your and my consideration of the possibility of a reaction on the part of the trees to the energy field generated by my contemplation of cutting one of the trees down.

“It is fact: man can and does communicate with plant life. Plants are living objects, sensitive, rooted in space. They may be blind, deaf, and dumb in the human sense, but there is no doubt in my mind that they are extremely sensitive instruments for measuring man’s emotions. They radiate energy forces that are beneficial to man. One can feel these forces! They feel into one’s own force field, which in turn feeds back energy to the plant. The American Indians were keenly aware of these faculties.” (Marcel Vogel)

The Rational-Scientific Worldview objectified the natural world and made us less sensitive to its many modes of communication and means of energy transmission. We have been conditioned to see differences where little or no difference actually exists.

“The isolated vegetal nerve (in plants) is indistinguishable from animal nerve: So complete, indeed, has that similarity between the responses of plant and animal, of which this is an instance, been found … that the discovery of a given responsive characteristic in one case has proved a sure guide to its observation in the other, and that the explanation of a phenomenon, under the simpler conditions of the plant, has been found fully sufficient for its elucidation under the more complex circumstances of the animal.” “At death, the plant threw off a huge electrical force. Five hundred green peas could develop five hundred volts.” “Plants became intoxicated when given shots of whiskey or gin, swayed like any barroom drunkard, passed out, and eventually revived, with definite signs of a hangover.” (Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose)

Just think about it and the implications! You and I share this interactive relationship with every living creature and thing around us. Wittingly and too often unwittingly we are always influencing the world we inhabit, the whole thing. And we are communicating our deepest and strongest feelings to others whether we intend to or not. The fabric of this reality binds us together on a psycho-emotional level that is not obvious but is nonetheless powerful, dynamic, and profound.

Axiom 10: Management

In the range of causal elements (X1 – XN), some elements are more manageable than others.

Human Resources and Personnel Management, in fact human social interactions in general involve much more than the arrangement of people based on education, training, and skills. Human shared spaces are dense fields of dynamic energies that also have to be understood and managed. In order to determine what causal elements are most manageable you have to open your mind to considering all of the possible elements. Sometimes working with what we call ‘subtle energies’ can be much more effective than simply moving people, reassigning tasks, or reinforcing existing protocols. To accomplish Multi-Causality Management you need to learn a process that will enable you to actually feel the quantum field as part of your substantive reality. That is where your Qigong training will come in. Certainty will enable you to think and act with confidence from the perspective of QSP. A practical plan for managing your work, home, or other environments and relationships is to begin by understanding the source from which phenomena or problems emerge (Axiom 8) and the source that continues to sustain those phenomena or problems (Axiom 9) in spite of your best intentions and past efforts.
