The sky is the limit
Author: Elsabe Smit

I have recently had one of those moments where the little
globe in my head popped and became a massive chandelier
that waved at me, and I experienced an amazing moment. I
followed this up by breaking an inch-thick piece of wood
with one hand, but that is another story.

I want to take a step back and give you some background
from quantum physics - don't worry, it will be easy.

In the 17th century, when scientists became aware of atoms,
they believed that atoms looked like billiard balls. They
also believed that different combinations of atoms formed
different substances, and therefore that atoms are the
particles that form the universe. All we needed to do was
identify all the different types of particles, and we would
have mastered the Universe.

Since then physics have evolved and in the 20th century
been replaced by quantum physics. Scientists now
understand that there are in fact no particles. There are
only waves. These waves surround us and we are not aware of
them, because we cannot see them.

As people we have consciousness and this is where the magic
starts. Our consciousness is also invisible and
intangible, but it is real. For example, you have had
experiences where you think of someone and not long after
that person contacts you. Or I tell you NOT to think of a
green elephant. What did you just see clearly in your
mind's eye? Now you know that elephants are not green.
Then where did that clear image of a green elephant come
from? That is your consciousness.

Now imagine the Universe existing of millions of waves.
This is not far-fetched, because it has been proven
scientifically. We just understand it better when we
imagine how it would look.

These waves are like roadmaps that contain information on
everything that exists now, everything that has ever
existed and everything that we will discover to exist. The
waves are like the biggest library on earth and the
internet in one. Where these waves cross, masses of
information are stored. Because there are many waves,
there are many crossing points 'like a gigantic bowl of
spaghetti.

We can tap into this massive repository of information by
finding the information. This is where the magic happens.
Any information that we want or need exists somewhere in a
wave but the information only becomes real, tangible and
useful when we consciously look at the map and search for
the information.

For example, I want to get information about adoption so
that I can write a book on it. The book does not exist and
the information does not exist. However, adoption is part
of the Universe and there are many people that have
experienced adoption in many different ways - either as
parents or as adopted children or as siblings of an adopted
child and so on. There are many facets to adoption, for
example the legal aspects of adoptions in the same or
different countries, the emotional impact of the process on
everyone involved, the financial implications and so on.
This information is different for every person that has
ever experienced it.

If I now want to write a book about adoption, I can put
together a mind map like I have done above, and suddenly
parts of the quantum spaghetti look different. I can then
carefully pick out those parts of the quantum spaghetti
that I want to combine in a different way, and put them in
a separate bowl. Then I can arrange them in a way that is
unique, because no-one else will do it in exactly the same
way. And there is my unique book about adoption, the book
that many other people have been searching for.

I have been aware and understood this process for a while
now, so that is nothing new. But the knowledge was in my
mind, not in my heart or in my soul.

I have also been aware for about the past year of a massive
change in the direction of my life, and because the picture
is still emerging, I have recently been unsure of what to
do, where to go and whether and how it will work out.

This is where I had this moment of absolute clarity that
took my breath away.

I realised that any wave I choose to catch is there for me
to keep, and there are plenty of waves.

We have all had experiences where someone told us that we
are responsible for our own lives, and the choices are
there for us to make. Many times in the past when I heard
that, I felt some anxiety, because this was too big for me.
I did not want to have full responsibility for my life or
my choices. It was easier to sit back and let things
happen to me while someone or something else is in charge,
even though I knew that everything that happened to me was
my choice and my creation.

This moment that I experienced was like the Universe
placing me in the biggest flower garden that could exist,
and saying to me "pick any of the flowers, as many or as
few as you want, and arrange them in any way you want. Or
just smell and feel and experience the garden. The flowers
will always re-grow, and they will always be fresh, and
there will always be variety. It is yours to do with as
you please. You can keep it all to yourself, or you can
share it with the entire world, because they are there for
you to use or not use as you please. And the flowers have
always been there, are now there and will always be there."

When I realised that, it was like a weight falling off my
shoulders. Rather than asking "what will become of me" and
feeling a twinge of anxiety, I now ask "what am I becoming,
and how can I speed that up by finding the wave and turning
the wave into a physical miracle?"

And when I say that, I feel excitement and an immense
gratitude towards the One who created all those waves for
me to play with as I please, and who taught me the joy of
playing with the Universe.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
