Comfortable With Uncertainty

29. June 2005

I read this excellent article on perception by Deepak Chopra in Resurgence Magazine today and on Gooooogling later found another rather brief lecture transcript at mediabharti.com that touches on a similar theme and lead me to the phrase “Comfortable with uncertainty”...

Here is an excerpt touching on the characteristics of “soul” in relation to how we perceive reality.

There are 5 characteristics of the ‘off’ state or ‘discontinuity’:

a. There is no space, time, object or information. It is non-material. It is a field of pure potentiality.

b. In this field, there is non-local correlation. Everything is instantly correlated with everything else. This is the only way one can explain how all our cells communicate and collaborate within our bodies. Similarly, our bio-rhythms are the symphony of the rhythms of the universe. Non-local correlation which is the finding of Quantum Theory is the mathematical description of ‘Omniscience’. Non-Local correlation is non-mediated and unmitigated. Therefore, it doesn’t diminish with distances and space. It even passes the boundaries of time.

c. Quantum Leap. This means, one moves from one point to another without going through any ‘in-between’.

d. Proliferation of uncertainty and chaos. And, therefore more creativity.

e. Observer effect. Universe remains unmanifest if some sentient being is not there.

All the above 5 characteristics describe the ‘soul’. It is non-material. It is omniscient. It is intuitive. It is comfortable with uncertainty. ‘All creativity is quantum. Physical death is the quantum creative act of the soul.’ The soul co-creates with God.”

So, “Comfortable with uncertainty”, I really feel that is a special quality to embrace, learn and nurture. To my mind the stress disorders that plague the modern western world are the result of many of us being highly uncomfortable with uncertainty. I find it revealing that you cannot really learn to feel comfortable with uncertainty using the mind, logic and rational sense alone. That peaceful state comes from frequently touching a much quieter aspect of your being. The pauses between thoughts even?

Time to meditate.

  1. Thank you for this! It added a whole new dimension to my understanding of how divination works, how you need to be able to dive in and swim in the initial confusion rather than clutching for answers-right-now. I mentioned your post and made the connection in a post on my I Ching blog .
