Personal Growth, Learning Curve, and Education from a Quantum Perspective

by Mark W. Gaffney


 We are living during a time of an explosion of knowledge and accelerated learning as a consequence of the internet making information freely available conveniently at ones fingertips. How an explosion of knowledge and accelerated learning may impact personal growth and the learning curve of individuals for better or worse is open to debate. 

Some people attribute a divided nation to internet telecommunications. Many years ago I referenced the internet as democracy on steroids.

A process of learning is not simply rotely digesting material, but instead learning involves challenging assumptions by analyzing coincidental and causative relationships among variables during metacognitive process of critical thinking. A metacognitive process of critical thinking enables one to discover meaningful connections among variables. Oftentimes in Higher education curriculums there is an over emphasis upon rotely disgesting material during process of simple memorization of facts and figures.

In a Ted Talk entitled, There is More to Life than being Happy (1) , Emily Esfahani Smith discuss finding meaningfulness in life. From a quantum perspective of human consciousness, that a variable within a mathmatical expression can be both true and false or both right and wrong simultaneously, as a writer it don't bring me much happiness to point out the error of another individuals way by disproving and refuting their propositions and assertions based upon dubious value of a statement due to parity bit negation.

Parity bit negation creates existentialism within quantum fabric of our universe. Existentialism within quantum fabric of out universe demands we depend more upon God while searching for truth. 

If one abheres to the quantum perspective any statement I make as a writer is wrong, which is an obstacle in discovering meaningfulness in life. However, freedom from being right all the time adds meaningfulness to journey of discovering greater truth. When two people are at odds with major differences of opinion something genuinely great can happen, which is why the summit between President Trump and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is so promising to change the course of human history.

In Emily Esfahani Smith's Ted Talk, There is More to Life than being Happy (1), she identifies the four pillars of meaning as (A) belonging, (B) Purpose, (C) Transcendence, and (D) Storytelling. 


In order to abstract more meaningfulness from Emily Esfahani Smith's Ted Talk I must challenge assumption there is more to life than being happy by examining trajectory of Emily Esfahani Smith's thoughts relative to a parallel trajectory line of thinking about pursuit of happiness within a number of freelance articles I wrote. In my freelance article entitled, Unus mundus: Human Consciousness framed within Quantum Fabric of our Universe (2), I made the following observations:

Knowledge and fruitful insights about our universe, such as insight shared by Deepak Chopra, are dead if not applied to real world events. Often, knowledge is assigned to a scrape bin of dusty academia when power of knowledge to explain real world events is not applied. Knowledge assigned to a scrape bin of dusty academia is relegated to a flat one dimensional trajectory.

Hence, Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity asserts value of individual thought. Individual thought reflects an Unus mundus operating within our universe. A variable examined from two or more separate trajectories expands meaningfulness of an expression. 

Quantum fabric of Intelligent Design as a lattice or matrix of human consciousness is a 'theory of everything'. Carl Jung, Albert Einstein, and Wolfgang Pauli defined an Unus mundus as an orderly pattern of events that defies randomness based upon synchronicty as a principle of quantum mechanics. Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopeida defines the Latin word Unus mundus as a 
"concept of an underlying unified reality from which everything emerges and to which everything returns"
My Wordpress blog post entitled, Full Circle (3), and A Line of Reasoning and Thought Understood from just one Trajectory is for all Intents and Purposes Practically Meaningless (4) provides a Twitter summary of a search for meaningfulness and truth during the information age.

In paragraphs above I asserted a quantum perspective provides freedom from being right all the time. Furthermore freedom from being right all the time adds meaningfulness to jouney of discovering greater truth. In addition I asserted in paragraphs above, when two people are at odds with major differences of opinion something genuinely great can happen. The process of something great happening is documented as a Tweet included in my Wordpress blog A Line of Reasoning and Thought Understood from just one Trajectory is for all Intents and Purposes Practically Meaningless (4) :



In my Wordpress blog post, Full Circle (3), I made the following assertion leading toward challenging the assumption there is more to life than being happy: 

 Wholeness of Truth Tend to become Separated and Disjoined at Polar ends of a Full Circle During Cognitive Processing.

 My freelance article entitled, Greater Material Abundance Created by Scientific and Technological Returns Will Never Impart Peace that Surpassth Understanding (5), adds greater meaning to Emily Esfahani Smith's Ted Talk, There is More to Life than being Happy (1) by making an important distinction between inner joy and pursuit of happiness. 

 The following are excerpts from my freelance article entitled, Greater Material Abundance Created by Scientific and Technological Returns Will Never Impart Peace that Surpassth Understanding (5) :

 Deepak Chopra provides insight into Albert Einstein's Theory of Happiness in his video presentation entitled, Peace is only possible in shift of identity to awareness beyond mind. In Deepak Chopra's video presentation, Deepak Chopra makes a distinction between happiness and joy.

Deepak Chopra states that joy is manifest within an individuals essential being apart from ones mind, unlike happiness which is tied to successful accomplishment of external goals, such as getting a job, graduating from an educational degree program, or writing an article.

Deepak Chopra's distinction between happiness and joy is important in understanding meaning of future scientific and technological progress. An accelerating rate of scientific and technological returns may create more happiness by helping people achieve goals, however greater abundance produced by scientific and technological returns will never impart "peace that surpassth understanding" derived from an awareness beyond the mind as Deepak Chopra outlined in his video presentation.

Happiness then is byproduct of discovering greater meaningfulness in an existential world where there is no meaning, due to parity bit negation of quantum fabric of the universe God created, accept what humans choose to assign. Absolute truth is the Divine prerogative of God. Hence, the TED talk, There is More to Life than being Happy (1), seems to be circular reasoning which is why I shared my proposition Wholeness of Truth Tend to become Separated and Disjoined at Polar ends of a Full Circle During Cognitive Processing.

Hay House publishing company (6) recently shared a quote from renown author Gregg Braden (7) about discovering more meaningfulness in ones life.


Satan's strategy is for an individual to view oneself as disconnected, separated, and isolated from everything. Perhaps my extreme introversion as a child is apart of an Unus Mundus pattern including meaningful coincidence of sychronicity whereby as a writer I feel a higher calling moving beyond Satan's strategy of isolation. Thus, emulating famed actress Carrie Fisher as a role model, and following the four pillars of discovering meaningfulness in life as discussed in TED talk, There is More to Life than Being Happy, as referenced above, I tell my story about struggles with mental illness in my freelance articles entitled, Overwhelmed (8) , and Churning or Dredging of Deep Powerful Emotionally Charged Creative Subconscious Urges by a Need to Share on Social Media may Aggravate Mental Health Disorders (9) .

My story of overcoming extreme introversion is about becoming more sentient and self aware. In my freelance article entitled, Escaping Oblivion of Cold Hearted Mechanical Robotic Deadness Inside: Becoming Sentient or Self Aware During Travel Excursions (10), I made the following observations:

Life is a process to become more sentient or self aware. God desires to make each and every human being sentient or self aware. Satan desires to do the opposite. Learning is a process of becoming more sentient or self aware.

Humans and AI systems can both display robotic unthinking unfeeling mechanical behavior because human and machine AI consciousness is a quantum mechanics phenomena.

 In accord with the four pillars of discovering meaningfulness in life ( Belonging, purpose, transcendance, and storytelling ) outlined in Emily Esfahani Smith's Ted Talk, There is More to Life than being Happy (1), my purpose is working as a writer.

 Today someone in authority must have liked my writing because I made it to top of #NobelPrize hashtag Twitter feed.
Jesus said, " feed my sheep ". The quantum fabric of our universe God created allows for both inclusivity of a secular society and upholding values as a Christian nation simultaneously.

 The quantum perspective allows for transcendance as discussed by Emily Esfahani Smith in her TED Talk There is More to Life than being Happy (1). Freedom from being right all the time given a qubit is a conduit of information expressing deeper realms of conscious reality beyond the mind emulating from the source of entire created universe allows for a transcendental moment of awareness.
In fact, parity bit negation implied by a qubit as a conduit of information resulting in an existential universe is justification for "simply being" as a means to finding happiness as advocated by Richard Branson in his article, How to be Happy (11).

Famed motivational speaker Zig Ziglar (12) shared an investment in knowledge pays the most interest. Zig Ziglar's post leads me to storytelling as the forth pillar of discovering meaningfulness outlined by Emily Esfahani Smith in her TED Talk There is More to Life than being Happy (1).


As a printer tradesman with a Bachelor of Science degree displaced by new computer desktop printing technology I am thankful for the opportunity I have been given. I have come to believe that disruption in the printing industry by an acelerating rate of scientific and technological returns directly involves quantum synchronicity of meaningful coincidence defined by Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli as an Unus mundus. 

 Storytelling is defining ones own unique individual Unus mundus pattern of quantum synchronicity expressing meaningful coincidence. Storytelling is discovering meaningful connections between variables during process of learning. 

 In paragraphs above I described learning as not simply rotely digesting material, but instead learning involves challenging assumptions by analyzing coincidental and causative relationships among variables during metacognitive process of critical thinking. A metacognitive process of critical thinking enables one to discover meaningful connections among variables.
