Our view of ourselves and our reality is changing. We are moving further away from the Newtonian view that man and the universe are predetermined. Quantum physics teaches us about free will and freedom of choice, by showing us that as observers we can and do influence our past and future events with our thoughts. Making the leap in consciousness takes time and a desire to influence our world in a positive way.

Fred Alan Wolf in his book, Space-Time and Beyond, states, " If we are hung up on the past we will choose to see the future as we saw the past. If we alter our perceptions of the now, then our altered view will change the future".

Most of us tend to choose paths of least action, therefore our realities appear predetermined and predictable. The least action path is only one of a multiple of possible choices. In quantum physics all realities are equally possible. Our minds may be constructed to only pay the most attention to the least action path of realities. Thus we experience this reality than another.

What we think of ourselves and each other determines how we appear to each other and to ourselves. By changing ones thoughts about oneself and others, we will change ourselves and others. Thus, change our reality and world view.

Turning to the inner world of the psyche could summon up a new vision and a new way of life for our troubled world. We cannot wait for the world to turn, for times to change that we might change with them or for the revolution to come and carry us around in it's new cause. We ourselves are the future, we are the revolution.

The future is not some place we are going to but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found but made, and the activity of making them changes the maker and the destination. Man alone is the architect of his destiny. By changing the inner attitudes of our minds, we can change the outer aspects of our lives.

Martin Buber, in his works, says that" throughout the world there is a spiritual front on which is being waged a secret silent struggle between the desire to be on life's side and the desire to destroy. The future is determined by the choices we make".

I believe to be on life's side is to be authentic and to live an authentic life. The most fundamental choice we can make and the most important work we can do is healing the inner self.

We are living in a time of purification in preparation for our Spiritual unfoldment in the New Millennium If we are to honor our Soul's evolution we must be willing to heal the traumas of our past. For many these traumas are held in the first three chakras of the body.

The root chakra (physical self) holds our consciousness of security, survival, and trust. Our ability to be grounded and to be in the body. This chakra also reflects one's connection with their mother, with Mother Earth, and how one feels about being on earth. When physically out of balance we can experience symptoms in the sciatica, ankles, feet, legs. Emotional symptoms are experienced as insecurity, fear, terror or threat to survival.

The second chakra (emotional self) is associated with the parts of consciousness concerned with sex and food. The person's ability to have children, to be creative, and find pleasure. This area is associated with the emotional self, and the person's willingness to feel their emotions. Physical symptoms are related to reproductive and sexual organs, and lumbar plexus.

The third chakra (empowered self). Consciousness associated with this area include the perceptions concerned with power, control, freedom and the ease that one is able to be themselves. Mental activity and the mental body is also associated with this chakra. The solar plexus is associated with the level of being that we call the personality or ego. The parts of the body include the muscular system, the skin, eyes, face,the solar plexus, the large intestine, stomach, liver, and other organs and glands.

When there is tension in a particular part of the body, this represents a tension in a part of the consciousness, about a particular part of the person's life that is unresolved. Being aware of these associations helps one to see the importance of resolving the tension in their life. A question arises as to how this information can be put to effective use. First, to make changes in our lives we must believe that it is possible to change. Through meditation and clear intention we can alter our perceptions, thus allow for release, healing, and birth of the Authentic Self.
