How a Quantum Leap Happens

This is a response I made in a dialogue I was having in one of several “featured conversations” that was on my html website. At that time I was having lots of exchanges, and they were the basis for naming our url “theconversation.org.”

This is the intro to the whole dialogue:
This conversation with Walter Starck, editor of the impressive Golden Dolphin Video CD Magazine,[Link] began when he wrote to the director of CROP CIRCLES: Quest for Truth, for which I am Executive Producer. I was so impressed with how he saw the crop circles and the world that I wrote to him, and each time he responds I am moved to tears by his insight and intelligence. I commend you to these quintessential communications that are “making sense of these times.”
Walter is part of my own worldwide web. He’s in Australia — and visited with me when he came to Los Angeles. This response I made to him ends with one of my all-time favorite quotes. Fyi, it’s from an article about growing marijuana.

It is such a pleasure to get your insightful communications, full of what I hold as core truths. Maybe this is my favorite line: “Expertise is on the path to knowing more and more about less and less until it knows everything about nothing.” And yes, yes, “That their meaning is not immediately clear and explicit is probably because they are intended to wake us up and make us think for ourselves not simply to instruct us.” This is the answer to the skeptics who point to how easy it would be for an advanced intelligence to be clear with us. And I think you’ve articulated the key to the significance of the circles, in that they challenge our deadly “unquestioning acceptance of our discrete individual existence.” If we understood what you say – “What we do to the world we do to ourselves” – everything would change.

You say, “The mass consciousness has a remarkable way of clinging to old ideas long past their use-by date; then, when it appears nothing will ever change, suddenly waking up and shifting to the new one.” Here’s one of my favorite quotes, that speaks to this:

“The controlling processes in photosynthesis begin at the atomic level, with the nucleus of the atom and its electron ring. Each orbit around the nucleus of an atom has a variety of potential energy levels at which electrons can move and still remain in orbit. If the electrons exceed the energy limits of their orbits they are forced to leave – to move into an orbit further from the nucleus and therefore an orbit which requires more energy to complete. This movement is the famous quantum leap which we have been using for years to describe an exponential increase of energy required to move from one plane to another. Knowledge, among other things, seems to operate according to this principle – you can acquire vast amounts of knowledge and still remain on the same plane, but there comes a point where the cumulative knowledge in your head – the cumulative creative energy you’re trying to deal with – requires a leap into another plane. Once you’ve made that first leap, you realize that, while knowledge is a cumulative process, it is not a progressive phenomenon. You do not move from plane to plane in a smooth, harmonious progression merely by storing up knowledge. You move from level to level, but always within the same orbit or plane, until you reach a point where you can no longer contain the creative energy you have been accumulating and remain within the same plane. So you make the quantum leap. And find yourself starting all over again, gathering energy on another level, always with successive levels above you, levels which are accessible only through the accumulation of vast amounts of knowledge, until once again the leap is within your ability. The life process in plants proceeds in this way, by quantum leaps of the atomic particles into a higher, more energetic plane.”
