Welcome to this module in the Grace Walk experience. I can almost guarantee you that you're going to learn some things in here that you've not studied before. I am excited about this subject because it's a topic that I've been studying for a lot of years, and it's really interesting how I came to it.
Years ago, I began to find myself being drawn toward a study of quantum physics, and I began to read and study about that. It didn't take long until I began to see what I thought was an overlap, a shared perspective that compared the quantum physics world—the world of the quantum life—with our Grace Walk. I thought, okay, there's an overlap between science and faith right here. But the more I studied it, the more I began to realize it's not an overlap; the two actually coincide, and they fit together.
And so I really want to encourage you to have an open mind as we go into this study together, because there are some things here that I doubt very seriously if you've heard or studied. Everything that we're going to talk about, and for some who are watching, all of this might be new. But just keep an open mind, because what you're going to see is—I demonstrate and prove it from the Bible—that a lot of the things that modern science, Quantum science, is telling us are the same things that the Bible has told us all along. And in a way, you might say that Quantum science is just a different language, different vocabulary, expressing the same truth that the Bible has said from the beginning. So hang with us on this, and I think you're going to find it to be exhilarating.
I started this as a hobby, a study of science—Quantum science—an avocation, and it suddenly I found myself at the place where it became my passion. So, of all the subjects and modules that you're going to study inside the Grace Walk experience, this is one of my favorites, because it just rings my bell. That I'm calling this Awakening to Quantum Life, and the subtitle is, "The Kingdom of God is within you." And the reason for that is, as I said, the quantum life is the kingdom of God, and the quantum world is the kingdom of God, and we're gonna we're gonna demonstrate that right now.
I want to begin with this this first stretch with a thing I'm calling, uh, "The Hidden World is Being Revealed," the Hidden World being the quantum world or the kingdom of God. The Hidden World is being revealed. You know, in the movie *The Matrix*, there's a scene that has become an iconic metaphor for in contemporary culture about the need for a kind of Awakening that leads us to a complete paradigm shift. In that scene, Morpheus told Neo, "You take the blue pill, the story ends; you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, and you'll wake you'll stay in Wonderland, and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." Well, the place of humanity in the flow of rural history has brought us to the place where we face that kind of choice today.
21st-century technology has uncovered a rabbit hole that has even the most sophisticated scientists among us finding something that has been nothing less than shocking. Like the matrix, it's an other-world dimension where everything we thought we knew is turned upside down. It's a totally different culture where the rules of the world we don't see apply. Their recent discoveries that are about to catapult us into an understanding of this reality that will change our individual lives and our collective experience of what it means to be fully human. The rabbit hole is deep, very deep. We've reached a fork in the road where we will decide how we will live our lives. We can either take the blue pill and hold on to our lifelong limiting beliefs about God, about our world, and ourselves, or we can take the red pill and discover a world that surpasses anything we've ever imagined.
What does it look like to live in that world, that new world I'm talking about? Well, that's what this module is going to answer. You'll discover, as we go through these sessions together, that it's a world different from everything you previously known. It's a world where you're fully awake and living as the human you were created to and designed to be. It's a world where you breach the bounds of the closed in close-ended restrictive outdated beliefs of your past, and you move into a place where there are limitless possibilities for your future.
I mentioned the movie *The Matrix*. Have you seen that movie? If not, I would encourage you to watch that. It's kind of a homework assignment: watch the movie *The Matrix*, the first one. In that movie, there's a scene where Morpheus is describing the matrius Matrix to Neo, and uh, it's—if you've seen the movie—it's the it's the scene where he dodges bullets. And in that scene, Morpheus says to Neo, "I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall; men have emptied entire clips into them and hit nothing but air, yet their strength and their speed is based in a world that is built on rules, and because of that, they'll never be as strong or fast as you can be." And Neo says, "What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?" Morpheus answers, "No, Neo, I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to." Have you seen that scene? Look it up on YouTube if you've not watched it. I couldn't post it here because of copyright laws. But Neo's imagination could only carry him as far as a world where he could dodge bullets, but in fact, he's still using that same kind of thinking that he'd always used. But Morpheus told him that when he understood the real meaning of the Matrix, he'd have no need to dodge bullets; he'd be living in a world where the old linear predictable rules no longer apply.
The thing that you're going to see clearly is that there is a Transcendent Matrix that is above and encompasses this temporal Matrix where we live. It's the place where we've come to discover the world that is actually a world inside a world—a world inside a world. Science calls it The Matrix that encompasses everything else, but we live in The Matrix, and the Matrix is in us. Jesus operated inside that world, and he showed us what life in that culture looks like. It was a lifestyle that confounded those who lived with him and yet who still didn't have the ability to see that greater reality that surrounded them or to understand that it's actually within them.
The Disciples of Jesus did a lot of great things, but it's like it's like uh Morpheus describing to Neo—he could be talking about the disciples in a sense, comparatively speaking—when he says, "I've seen agents punch through concrete walls, and men have emptied entire clips into them and hit nothing but air." That's the miraculous things the disciples did. But he goes on and says, "And yet there's speed uh and yet their their speed and their strength is still based in a world built on rules." That's what Jesus had to deal with. The disciples saw some miraculous things, and yet they were still grounded inside this world, this temporal world, and they did they they saw and even experienced that greater reality called the kingdom of God or the Matrix, but they didn't understand fully how much it was in them and them in that Kingdom. They they couldn't make sense out of the actions of Jesus, because his actions was it was a different kind of life, and the things he did defied human logic.
Jesus lived in the kingdom of God, and he lived what we now know through science is a Quantum life. Quantum life—hang with me when I say Quantum life—I'm talking about the Grace Walk. I'm just using the word Quantum life inside the context of this module to help you see that science has said a big amen to what the Bible teaches about the Grace Walk. And I'm going to call it a Quantum life here because that's the language of the Science World that we're going to be drawing from in this module, of course along with the Bible. But I want you to learn two languages. I want you to learn that when we talk about the Grace Walk, we're talking about the quantum life; it's the same thing. It's a life that Jesus lived; it's a life that is sourced outside the temporal world.
Jesus talked about his life—the quantum life, the Grace Walk—being animated by Divine energy. He said things like this in John 7:6: He said, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me." And then he said in John 14:24, "The words you hear me say, they're not mine." In John 8:42, he said, "I've not even come on my own initiative." And then one last reference in John 5:30, he said, "I do nothing on my own initiative." Jesus affirmed repeatedly that a Life Source that was transcendent to this temporal World animated his actions. What is that Life Source? Well, that's what we're going to talk about in all of this; that's what we're going to discuss about this hidden world. But you you got to have an open mind. I don't want you to be gullible, but I want you to be teachable.
Look at this quote—nope, that's not it—let me go to this next one—the Thoreau quote. Look at this: "A man only receives what"—this is Henry David Thoreau—"a man only receives what he's ready to receive, whether physically or intellectually or morally. As animals conceive their kinds at certain seasons only, we here and apprehend only what we already have know. If there's something which does not concern me, which is out of my line, which by experience or by genius my attention is not drawn to, however novel and remarkable it may be, if it is spoken, I hear it not; if it is written, I read it not; or if I read it, it does not detain me. Every man thus tracks himself through life in all his hearing and reading and observation and traveling; his observations make a chain; the phenomenon or fact that cannot in any wise be linked with the rest of which he has observed, he does not observe." Um, you get what he's saying there—Henry David Thoreau. That was from his journals in 1860. Not to insult your intelligence, but to make sure we're on the same page, what he says is you can't accept what you're not ready to accept, and he said, you know, there's a season for everything, and and if there's something that—he said—if there's something that doesn't concern me, that lies outside of my experience or my frame of reference, sometimes, no matter how clearly it's spoken or if I read it, it doesn't connect to me, but when I'm ready for it, it will connect to me.
Well, if you look at the life of Jesus—we're in the 21st century now—we've always known that the life of Jesus is different from what most people experience, but now now because of quantum science, we're beginning to understand some of the way some of the things involved in how he did his miracles. Now keep an open mind and hang with me. I'm going to show you this. It's not going to undermine your belief in the miraculous, and to the contrary, it's going to expand your belief in the miraculous. Jesus lived a Quantum life. Miracles, in many instances in the life of Jesus, are Quantum events. For instance, appearing in the upper room when the doors were shut tight—it's called Quantum tunneling. Suddenly appearing to his disciples seemingly out of nowhere—that's called quantum teleportation. Speaking to a tree like he did and causing it to wither—well, that is directed intentional Quantum vibration. When Jesus said, "I and my Father are one," he was talking quantum entanglement. We'll get into all this. The life of Jesus was natural, but it was also Supernatural. So it it doesn't come as a shock when we understand that there are natural scientific explanations for some of these things Jesus did. Listen, that does not minimize the miraculous. In it, Supernatural doesn't mean it's not natural. Super fast doesn't mean something's not fast. If I say it's super fast, that doesn't mean it's not fast; it means it's like fast on steroids, you know what I mean? But the thing I want you to get is that Jesus didn't do magic; he lived as a man was, and he lived the way we were created to live—supernaturally. You've been created to live a supernatural life—now, some Holy Ghost magic—but a super natural life, of a life that is animated by God, by Christ. And when the expression of that Divine Life flows through you, you will see Supernatural things. I mean, Jesus' life is a mirror to us of our original identity, and listen to this: it's an identity we never lost, but we only lost sight of it over time.
The disciples were baffled by the things Jesus did, but Jesus told them very plainly, "My kingdom is not of this world." That made no sense to their linear mechanistic Paradigm. They marveled at the things he did, and Jesus said to them in John 14:12, "Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they'll do even greater things than these, because I'm going to my Father." He said, "You're going to do greater things than I do." And listen, he wasn't just talking about them; he was talking about you and me. But back then, they couldn't understand it if he had tried to explain it, because they didn't have the the tools; they didn't have the knowledge that we now have in the 21st century. The people of God are growing; God's not changing, but we're growing. We're growing back to the disciples. You couldn't talk quantum physics to them, and but but listen to this: one time Jesus said to them, he said, "I have so much to tell you, but you aren't able to handle it right now." Then he said this: he said he would send a teacher who would guide us into all truth. Now listen to this: that teacher has come, and the teacher speaks in a lot of ways, obviously the spirit speaks to us through the scripture, but you know the by the the the spirit speaks to us through nature; the spirit speaks to us through other people, right? There are a lot of ways the spirit teaches us. Now listen, the spirit today is teaching us through modern science. We're at a time now where these greater things are being explained to us. I don't mean the old-school Darwinian kind of science you grew up with—scientific materialism—we'll talk about that. I don't mean that; I don't mean atheistic science; that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Quantum science, which emerged early in the 20th century and is still in its nascent stage, but thank God science is finally catching up, and we're at a time now where these things are being explained to us. And wonder of Wonders, the spirit is even using modern science to show us some things—it's things that the whole world's been waiting to see. Paul described that eager hunger in the world in Romans 8:19 when he said, "The whole creation awaits an eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed." Something Jesus is saying today is a word that he spoke 2000 years ago: "He that has an ear, let him let him listen." Well, we'd be wise to listen, because what he's saying is is mind-boggling—mind-boggling.
Look at this quote: Lewis C.S. Lewis nailed it down; he got it right when he said, "For God is not merely mending, not simply restoring a status quo; redeemed humanity is something to be more glorious than unfallen humanity." That's C.S. Lewis. "Redeemed humanity is something to be is is to be something more glorious than unfallen humanity." What he's saying is this: he's saying, "Look, we're the things that we have the ability to understand through Revelation," and by the way, since we're in a science module here, that that fits perfectly with our faith. Revelation or Rhema is just another way of saying Quantum Leap. I'll talk more about what a Quantum Leap is; I'll explain in detail as we go forward, but a Quantum Leap means you get from here to there without moving through the space in between. It's Revelation; it's Rhema. If you didn't know it, now suddenly you knew you know it without even being taught it. So you you see the point then that this hidden world that is being revealed to us, it is the kingdom of God. And I'm so excited about this this module and the the sessions ahead, because we're—by the time you finish this this particular study—you're going to understand and experience more than you ever have how that your intention in life is what activates your faith, and your desires are what give expression to your prayers, and you're going to find out what it means to have the power of the spirit in you. And the amazing thing is that it'll be described by Quantum science. So hang with me. We're—listen, I understand the word Quantum science—what I did—a group called Quantum Life online, and they're people there were people that were scared off by the word Quantum. They're like, "I'm not that smart." Listen, neither am I. We're going to take this—I'm not I'm not smart enough to be a Quantum physicist, I promise you—but we're going to take this, and we're going to eat from the bottom—eat the cookies from the bottom shelf—and we're going to break this down in a way that is going to give you a—I think you're going to find it to be an intriguing and encouraging perspective. So let's move on in the next lesson, and I'll say more.
