Amazing!

Oh man, I really got into this book. It's very enjoyable to read though the vocabulary that they've made up to describe what they're talking about gets a little complicated at the end. I'm going to have to read it again.Basically, Quantum Psychology attributes most of our unhappiness to what they call Separation Trauma. You got your umbilical cord cut and now you're a freaked out creature slinging that thing around trying to latch it onto to somebody or something whether that be a relationship, cause, job, etc. "Oh this will bring me joy, happiness, security, comfort, and make me feel complete." But then something happens and that thing doesn't do it for you anymore. So, you sling that [thing] around again and latch onto something else. And this goes on over and over and over. Quantum Psychology teaches you how to not sling that umbilical cord around anymore. Cool stuff.The second half of the book is like Hinduism without the holyman priesthood. He describes everything as being and being from the ONE SUBSTANCE. In Hinduism this one substance is called Brahman. I really like this but as I said it takes a lot of effort to relate to the vocabulary that they've come up with. But I still think it's interesting anyway.The most beautiful part to me is what they call the Essential Qualities. "Quantum Psychology defines Essential Qualities as pure, or as having no subject or object. Pure being, pure love, pure observation or pure knowing - these are all Essential qualities." I can't explain this stuff properly because I'm not good at the vocabulary but the word "essential" here does not mean "necessary" it means "from or of Essence" which is a quality that is described in Chapter 12 of the book. The beauty of this stuff though is that I've only experienced that pure love just a few times in my life. Love with no object or subject. If your with somebody, it's like your both "in" love but not in love with each other - just "in" love. It's a really amazing thing to experience - and I've never heard it described before this. Hmmmm, maybe it's a everyday, ordinary experience common to everyone and I've just never heard it described before. That would be cool.Anyway, I really got into this stuff and I plan to re-read the book soon. I also hope to read some of the other books on Quantum Psychology to get more of a feel for it. But as I said,I don't particularly like the vocabulary because it puts too much of a strain on your brain to get what they're talking about.
