We recently had an episode called Synchronicities, broadcast on September 13th of 2025. In that episode I reviewed a Why Files episode about synchronicities and shared some amazing synchronicities that look like coincidences, but they’re just too precise to be coincidental. They give an indication of this very strange nature of the universe that we live in, and in that episode we discussed how the quantum mechanics of this universe at the quantum level seem to explain how these amazing synchronicities occur.
In the synchronicities episode, I talked about one of the funny things about quantum mechanics—that whenever someone looks at an object in a scientific experiment at the subatomic level, peering into the subatomic level through their experiment, it is said that “observation collapses potential” and makes the reality. This is because before we observe something, it exists in a state of what is called superposition. Remember, at the subatomic level there’s no such thing as particles. It’s all waves and probabilities. It’s more like a blur, and it doesn’t stop spinning through all of its possibilities until it is observed and then, at that point in time, when it is observed, it stops being a blur of all possible positions and it collapses into one position, solely through the process of being observed by a watchful consciousness.
Another strange aspect of quantum mechanics is known as quantum entanglement. This is when two—and it’s not even right to call them objects or particles because they’re not, there is no material reality, it’s all waves and probabilities and forces—when two such subatomic objects have a relationship with each other, no matter how far the space is between them, then when one of them is observed in an experiment, and it stops its superpositional blur at that moment in time, landing on a particular way of being or way of appearing, then the object it is entangled with also collapses at the same exact moment, even though it’s not the one that’s being observed. Furthermore, this entangled “collapse” is instantaneous—faster than light.
Not only that, but balance is always occurring throughout the universe, because when one entangled thing collapses in a spin right direction, for example, its entangled partner collapses as spin left. Or when one photon, for example, moves vertically, its polarized partner moves horizontally. In this manner, the universe remains balanced and symmetrical. You can think of it this way: imagine two entangled quanta were a pair of gloves spinning so fast you couldn’t tell which was right and which was left. Once you observe object A to be a the right glove then object B instantly becomes a left glove. If the same object A had been observed to be the left glove, object B would have instantly become the right glove. And before observation, both gloves were simultaneously right and left, left and right, both states at once.
Now let us think about this with some gnostic logic. We say that the mind of God is the ground state of all of the consciousness. Another way of saying this is that consciousness permeates every corner of everywhere—both on the ethereal plane and down here on the material plane. So, if observation affects quanta, then quanta are being observed all of the time by the mind of God. It is this Godly observation that holds the cosmos in its balanced physical state. This is how entangled quanta can affect their partners instantaneously. There is no distance or time in the ethereal realm and all of creation is held in steady state within the mind of God, so this is how and why a quark that is observed by a human is instantly balanced with its entangled partner, even if it is on the other side of the universe.
In that Synchronicities episode, we talked about quantum field meditation—visualizing potential and then collapsing it into reality. Let’s say that you are moved to want something good for you that’s within God’s will. According to the quantum field meditation as discussed in the Why Files episode, your intentional desire and focus is said to collapse that intention into reality. Quantum field meditation visualizes the potential and, “collapses it” into reality. That’s what happens in healing meditations. You intentionally visualize getting well and it eventually heals the part of you that’s broken. Setting clear intentions is the first step.
Quoting from the Why Files’ episode: “every nanosecond, infinite decisions are being made that cause the infinite possibilities to collapse into this one reality. But you can learn to influence the outcome of all those decisions. You can alter your small corner of reality.”
My brother Bill and I had a follow-up conversation last week about that concept. He had come to the realization that there is no “collapse” in the sense that the superpositional blur changes into a static object. What is actually happening is that in our cherry jello universe, one reality is arrived at, and the others are not chosen. It all has to do with free will and choice. In the cherry jello universe, what we have been calling observation to collapse potentiality is actually us arriving at a particular cherry and choosing it through free will.
A gnostic insight concerning this is that all possible outcomes already exist in the infinite mind of the Father, and it is our free will that chooses one course or one outcome over another. We’re not collapsing anything. The quanta is not stopping its superposition. What is happening is that we are choosing one cherry over another. For example, the scientist’s observation chooses the cherry that spins right instead of left, so to speak. And something that A.J. had talked about in that Why Files episode on synchronicities–and again, go back to my episode on synchronicities if you haven’t read or heard it yet –the universe is filled with choices. It’s not filled with particles. It’s not filled with stuff. It’s filled with choice points, conscious choices, and they’re already there because our God is an infinite God, and it takes infinity to be able to hold all possible choices that could ever possibly happen.
As I say, it’s the many worlds theory, but there aren’t many worlds. You don’t need parallel universes or parallel dimensions for these things to happen, like we often see in science fiction or people’s theories. It’s all contained in this one infinity that is the mind of God, and it is our intention to head for a choice, a particular potential, and to find that potential. Quantum theory calls that collapsing the potential, but it isn’t really collapsing, it’s that a choice cherry has been arrived at. You’re choosing a particular outcome. You’re choosing this rather than that, and it’s the choice that makes what quantum physicists call collapse.
In the cherry jello universe, our consciousness is swimming through an infinite sea of choices, and every moment of the day we make one choice rather than a different choice, and that is the path of our choices as we swim through the cherry jello of life. The other choice is still sitting there in that infinity of unused or uncollapsed potentials, but once you make a choice by setting an intention and you arrive at that intentional outcome, the cherry that’s already waiting there in your mind is the so-called collapse, but the other uncollapsed choices are still there.
Does that make sense to you? It’s a completely different way of looking at quantum superposition and collapse. Nothing’s collapsing. The blur of potential is still there. What the scientist arrives at is one cherry and the infinity of other cherries are still sitting there, because the mind of God holds all possibilities. It is free will that decides the outcome.
Now, speaking of swimming toward cherries, one of the aspects of that Why Files episode that I didn’t have time to get to in our previous discussion of it was the vision board. A.J., the host of Why Files, strongly recommended setting up a vision board and then putting pictures or words, clipping things out of magazines or printing things off your computer, of the cherries you wish to swim to, is how I’d put it. So, I have started a vision board. There are only two things on it now because I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to get along with setting up my vision board fully. But what I have on there so far is a picture of my gnostic cyber fiction screenplay becoming a motion picture, and to that end, one of the reasons I’ve been so crazy busy the past few weeks is because I’ve been working on that screenplay. The other thing I have on my vision board is a description of an old Econoline van with what one of our listeners says is the best engine ever built. He recommended it as a possibility for my cherry of a book tour. Well, I wrote down all those notes and I’m walking around with this note in my hand and thinking, how do I file this? Where do I put this note about what RV to buy? I’m afraid if I file it away, it’s going to be filed away, and then when I wonder, what was that van I was supposed to buy? I wouldn’t be able to find it again. So I finally realized as I’m holding this piece of paper in my hand with the notes about the RV—aha! The vision board. So I taped the note onto the vision board and now I have two strong intentions sitting on that vision board and every time I walk past it, I see those intentions which, in this quantum meditation way of thinking of things, causes me to be swimming in the direction of those particular cherries.
I must admit, it all sounds kind of silly to me. I’ve heard of vision boards for years and I’ve never tried to put one into practice because I just didn’t understand how it would work, how such a thing is possible, until that episode about synchronicities and then my brother’s discussion with me this week about the philosophy of choice and free will. Because it’s all driven by free will and it’s our choice. It’s not going to magically appear because it’s taped to a vision board. It’s my intention that it should come about that causes me to be moving in that direction.
The day after I recorded that Synchronicities episode, I was reading a daily devotional called The Word for You Today that is mailed out by the Christian radio station I listen to. And the first four articles of encouragement in this quarter’s Word for You Today, September 1st through 4th, is about faith. And as I read the discussion of faith and how your faith can produce results, I recognized that it’s what we’ve been talking about. This is the Christian version or the Biblical perspective on quantum intention meditation. It’s a different way of looking at the word faith that I never thought of before and I wouldn’t have even noticed it except for our discussion on quantum intention.
When people talk about faith it’s usually a gigantic concept, right? Usually it stands for the ideology you believe in. I have faith in God. I have faith in Jesus Christ. It’s my ideology to hold certain beliefs. My faith is part of my Gnostic Christian meme bundle. But faith, as explained in The Word For You Today is “the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. The certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us even though we cannot see it up ahead.” When you put it that way, I can tell that I have experienced that kind of faith throughout my life without labelling it as faith. For example, I always knew I’d earn a Ph.D. someday, so I wasn’t concerned about how or when. I had faith. I always knew I would share spiritual knowledge with others, but I didn’t know how or when. And here we have the last twenty years of blogging, writing books, and podcasting. I didn’t so much work toward these as goals as simply knowing they would occur.
Here’s a quote from Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament, Hart’s translation:
Now faithfulness is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of unseen realities. For the ancients were commended for this. In faith we rationally perceive that the ages [and here I would use the word “aeons” rather than ages] were composed by an utterance of God, so that the things that are seen have not been made from the things that are manifest. (Hebrews 11:1-3)
In our Gnostic system, the Aeons have thought everything through in advance. The ethereal plane is the unseen reality. The Aeons were emanated by God so that the ethereal plane would become manifest reality. This is why the Tripartite Tractate does not condemn Logos for the Fall. The Tripartite Tractate says that the Fall was necessary for the Economy that was destined to come about—that being this material cosmos.
The Bible also says in James 2:17 that faith not accompanied by action is dead. And this teaching says that effective faith calls for an act of your will. This again points to making choices propelled by faith in a particular outcome. It is a choice you make to fully embrace what God says in his word. So they’re talking about choice. They’re talking about acts of will.
For just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. (James 2:26, Hart)
Usually that verse refers to doing good deeds to prove one’s faith in God. But if you look at it in this Gnostic way, the “works” is the cherry you are moving toward with your free will, and your faith is the intention to reach it. The Bible says that God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
So do not cast away your confidence, which has for its recompense a great reward. For you need to persevere so that, having done God’s will, you may receive what is promised. (Hebrews 10:38, Hart)
The apostles felt they didn’t have enough faith and so they said to Jesus, increase our faith. And Jesus replied,
If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, be uprooted and planted in the sea and it will obey you. (Luke 17:6).
So we don’t need a lot of faith. We just need the strongly believed intention. Yet it always has to be in God’s will for it to occur, which is good. It’s a backstop for us. If you have faith and intention to create chaos and death, it would only happen through archonic influence because it’s not in God’s will.
But it is God’s will for us to fully experience this universe that we have been incarnated into. That’s why there’s so many choice points. All the choices are there to be made. And the faith that is spoken about in the Bible is meant to produce results. It’s not meant to just fill you up with assurance of salvation. And faith is not accomplished by action. Faith precedes action. As these quotes by James affirms:
Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of the Luminaries [the Aeons], with whom there is no alternation or shadow of change. (James 1:17, Hart)
So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Yet someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” You show me your faith without the works, and I will show you faith by my works. You have faith that God is one? You are doing well. Even the daemonic beings [archons] have that faith, and they tremble. But are you willing to recognize, O you inane man, that faith without works yields nothing? (James 2:17-20, Hart]
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. In other words, faith produces outcomes. The choices you make produce the outcomes that are the fruit of those choices. Just as the quantum meditation folks claim.
The Word for Today devotional says, concerning faith,
The biblical prescription for faith is simple but potent. One, you decide to believe in God’s promise and his power to make it happen, leaving the how and when up to him. Two, you choose to act in keeping with what you believe before you see any evidence of the results. Three, God responds to your faith by keeping his unbreakable promise. Quote, “Hath he said and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good?” (from the Old Testament, Numbers 23:19) God goes to work exercising his unlimited capacity to perform his word. Jesus said, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:24)
So it’s not that God has to perform or accomplish this for you. It’s all there. It’s all ready in the mind of God. The cherries are in the jello. We have to, through our belief and actions, make choices. It all has to do with our free will and our choices. God has already done what God does. God has laid all the cherries in the universe that will ever exist out in front of us for our choosing. This concept gives a whole new meaning to the phrase cherry-picking.
Now, going on to the fourth devotional of the faith series, The Word for Today talks about How Your Faith Can Produce Results.
Saying that you believe is just the beginning. Activating your faith means preparing for the answer to arrive. So, if I really expected an answer to my prayers, how would I prepare for arrival? Jesus gave his disciples a parable, Matthew 13:31-32, when he said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man planted in his field. When it grows, it becomes a tree.” See, the farmer believes that if he plants the seed and cares for it and tends it, waters it, fertilizes it, keeps an eye on it, protects it from the pests, that it will grow into the thing that he has planted.
So, we begin by praying for wisdom to make the right decisions (James 1:5-7). We aim for the thing to come about, which means that while waiting to get to that cherry that we’re swimming towards, we actively involve ourselves with things that will cause us to move toward that cherry. We break our big plan and our intention into small steps that can be accomplished. Don’t wait for the faith to grow. Don’t wait for fear to turn you aside. Take small steps. Make choices. Make all of the choices in a row that lead you to that intention. This devotional suggests that we start thanking God even before we can see the answer. We aim toward the thing and if we’re missing it, we adjust our aim. And then this Christian devotional reiterates that faith and actions working together produce results.
And I’ve been sharing all this just by way of saying that this quantum meditation, this focusing and intention moving toward that result, is not unscriptural. It’s not ungodly or New Age. It’s all laid out before us by the Father. And if we need assistance to move in that direction, we meditate upon the Father, the Son, the Fullness. We ask the Aeons for assistance. We ask Christ for assistance in faith, knowing that the answer is already there and that all things work together for good for those who love God. Amen!
Onward and upward and God bless us all.
