From the Publisher
This book is a major contribution which could reinvigorate the entire field of psychology

To summarize Dr. Wolinsky's "Quantum Consciousness," we are often living somewhere else other than the present time. We do this by distracting ourselves with ideas and concepts about what we should be, what things mean, judgments and interpretations that we have made about people, places, things and situations. This point of view creates our internal states and we forget that we are the authors of these states in the first place. The pulls of these states are so strong that it seems like reality to us. This dictates how we think, feel and behave.Problems and pain come in because our awareness stay focused on our narrow points of views.

Dr. Wolinsky offers a way to remedy this through the first level of quantum consciousness by realizing that we are more than the thoughts, feelings and ideas that we run thought our minds. We can distance ourselves by first intentionally experiencing whatever "occurs" to us, then intentionally distancing ourselves from this. Intentionally experiencing everything including pain is not an exercise in masochism because if you resist feeling sad for example, then sadness is always there (plus the energy to resist it). Only in first acknowledging it, then feeling it and lastly distancing oneself from it can you loosen its influence and move on.

Wolinsky doesn't expect you to believe this and instead ask the reader to adopt a "what if this is true" point of view and see what happens. In my opinion, if a reader "got" only this from the book by practicing it, they would see a startling change in their life (you could pay thousands of dollars on therapy and self improvement seminars, as I have and still not get the benefit that can be derived from this deceptively simple practice).

There is much more to the book as Wolinsky uses ideas from quantum physics, western psychology, religion and eastern meditation (always crediting his sources) to take the reader through the levels of quantum consciousness. In doing that he challenges virtually every assumption that we live under. If the reader is willing for a moment, to participate in the 80 plus exercises provided, by seriously contemplating("what if " this is how reality is) then in my opinion, they are in for one mind-blowing experience (unless one decides to invent something else).

As a person with a mental health and counseling background who has struggled with deep insecurities of his own and who has been seeking answers for quite sometime (and getting a few but not all), Dr. Wolinsky's ideas began to have a profound influence before I even finished chapter one. I will be working with Quantum Consciousness for quite sometime and look forward to the day when "it will disappear."

READERS BEWARE THE WORLD MAY NEVER LOOK THE SAME



Reviews From Amazon:

Everybody should read a book like this - at least once in their life. (Not that there is another book of its kind around)

It is like "Mind, the User's Manual" and is a full synthesis of Zen, Yogic Methods, Psychology and Quantum Physics.

And believe me Steve Wolinsky has a deceptively good knowledge of all of the above. For a kick-off he spent many years learning from Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj in India and also many Buddhist Masters. He gives more detail on the nature of time in a few short paragraphs than anyone I have come across - except maybe Jesus in "A Course in Miracles". Another powerful feature of this book is that Steve migrates us away from traditional Yogic and Zen methods that look on the mind as a passive receiver and only by healing its reactions to its observations that it can heal itself. Instead Steve teaches us that mind is the creator of all it observes - and so all we perceive is more accurately seen to be our own creative observation. This is a totally different system and creates space for liberation, responsibility and transformation of our world. And so all reality is created in the present moment through our current thoughts and beliefs - the Quantum being a memoryless system. And so we are our world and fully responsible for it and changing our world is as simple as changing out thoughts - Excellent!

His exercises are very powerful if practiced with any intent, they include looking at thoughts and emotional energy as separate from the your real Self and part of the universal non-differentiated energy continuum. He works with you, to break up energy clusters and identifications caused by labeling events and relationships and to shift your perspective to create release. He also brings in Milton Erickson's teachings to help one view and solve present problems from the standpoint of a future perspective.

Wolinsky is a clinical psychologist with over a decade of serious spiritual practice. He presents a series of 85 meditation type exercises along with his spiritual philosophy. Many of these are identical to the sadhanas of various eastern practices. If Wolinsky has done nothing else he has given us a coursework for spiritual practice. I would suggest to read through the book and read and try the exercises as you come to them. When you have more time revisit the exercises as a practice.

This book blew away my old beliefs about what my life is about.
I'm the boss ! only I didn't know it. I've had one read through and now I will go back, take my time and do the exercises and begin to create consciously the world I would like to be in. I just could not put it down once it arrived.

An excellent set of ideas on psychology and on meditation techniques. Ideas are explained here far more clearly than by most other books and teachers of meditation.
Dr. Wolinski draws parallels between eastern meditation techniques and Bohmian quantum theory that seem very speculative. The quantum physics connections are fascinating, but one would be hard pressed to take them literally. If you take them as metaphors, the book then becomes a gold mine of tools for meditation and psychology.

I love this book, as well as WOlinsky's Tao of Chaos. It points out the limitations of traditional western psychology--which frequently involves moving the stuff around and while he teaches one to look at the very essence of who we are, thereby transcending our stories. This book motivated me to continue my meditation practice. I learned alot from this book and I have explored nearly every type of "growth or consciouness" group. The only training which brings one to this state has been the Avatar training in my experience.

This book has certainly changed my life. This is one of those books the reader must want to experience because it can be read at many different levels. Like learning anything one starts with simple steps then in time what seemed simple takes on deeper meaning. Wolinsky's writing style is exceptionally clear and lucid. Over and over I have found myself going back to read the same passages only to find out with each reading I learned even more. Remarkable book. Pretty amazing book might be better.
