Quan­tum physics’ the observer effect says that there is no real­ity until that real­ity is per­ceived. This pro­found insight tells us that we alter every object in the world sim­ply by pay­ing atten­tion to it.

Albert Ein­stein, per­haps the most highly cel­e­brated and rec­og­nized sci­en­tist / philoso­pher, said once, ‘Peo­ple like us, who believe in physics, know that the dis­tinc­tion between past, present, and future is only a stub­bornly per­sis­tent illu­sion.’ What would this remark­able view bring into the world of spir­i­tual ideas?

We don’t see what we see; we see what we remem­ber we see. And you can replace this phrase with smell, taste, hear, sense, and per­haps even think. When it comes to spir­i­tu­al­ity, it’s the same: peo­ple expect it to fol­low their pre-conceptions and clichés.
