Opening like “layers of an onion”.
Consciousness operates as a multi-layered predictive system that progressively reveals deeper structural models of reality as information and awareness increase.
As humans we are designed to perceive our reality through our main five limited senses, and we do not perceive reality all at once.
The brain, as an extension of us, through time becomes a map of all living experiences — “the autobiographical self”. It collects raw data from the environment, it builds patterns and relationships, gives interpretations (what we call “perceptions”) to experiences, and has the meta-cognition or in other words the awareness of all of this while also being the observer of reality.
With every bit of insight, the previous interpretation of living collapses, the system that is the mind, that is we as a human being, reorganizes, and new possibilities become visible.
In essence, this process is adding layers of information on top of layers of structure, and restructuring the entire system of information within each one of us, with every piece of insight.
In Quantum Mechanics, a quantum leap or a quantum jump happens when an electron moves from one energy level to another inside an atom. Electrons absorb or emit a photon and suddenly — they are in a different configuration.
In Personal Growth a “quantum leap” means a breakthrough, a shift in perception or identity. One internal realization and everything reorganizes and ripples through the entire system.
When a Quantum Leap of Consciousness occurs, we are no longer operating from the fundamental viewpoint of interpretation, but have reorganized awareness to operate from a different level of structure, or field. In order words, we begin to operate from a different level of energy.
- How you see yourself changes.
- The world appears organized differently.
- The connections you had not yet seen, become apparent.
- You begin to observe a new resolution of reality — a deeper layer of the field of consciousness.
Quantum Leaps can be gradual or they can happen quickly and rapidly.
But most often they build quietly through bites of information, and then one day the system reorganizes.
And a “new layer of the onion opens.”
