Among one of the most bizarre pseudo-scientific spiritual trends I have ever come across is Quantum Jumping. Without even explaining what it is, you already know that it’s going to be weird.So, what is it?First you must understand the multiverse theory. That is to say that there are an infinite number of parallel universes out there. Since the amount is infinite, everything that could have ever happened has happened in one of these universes. This means that in a parallel universe you are the king or queen, in another, the greatest football player ever.
FIRST CONTACT: Has this multiverse expert finally made contact with an nearby universe? A MAN who is nearing his 90s claims to be able to QUANTUM JUMP to alternate universes where he can have.
There is literally no limit since there are an infinite amount of your doppelgangers (you from an alternate universe). Ok then, I’ll let that one slide. Burt Goldman has taken it one step further. He claims that he can communicate with his doppelgangers, and offers to teach you for the incredibly affordable price of $100. The knowledge of the universe, the ability to become the master of anything, for $100, seems legit.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of his program.There are 7 CD’s each with a number of modules all designed to teach you the ways of Quantum Jumping. I have gone through each of these modules with an open mind, doing the exercises exactly as he says to do them. I will now go through them with you, and let you form your own opinion. Note: I had to listen to each of these modules twice; once to write my notes, and once to do the exercises. The first thing you notice when listening to Burt Goldman, The American Monk, is that he likes to talk. So much so that it drowns out the message of whatever it is he is trying to say at that moment. This would make it difficult to listen to the most interesting of audio files let alone a lecture on Quantum Jumping.The introduction module is pretty self-explanatory; it gives you a brief introduction to what we will be learning.
He starts by defining frustration. Everyone is frustrated about something, so everyone can relate. The American Monk explains that with his methods you can make your dreams come true by meeting a version of yourself from another dimension.Bear with me. Neil Geoffrey Turok is the Director of Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. His work has been in the area of mathematical physics and early universe physics, including cosmological constant and a cyclic model for the universe.Alan Harvey Guth is an American theoretical physicist and cosmologist. Guth has researched elementary particle theory.Michio Kaku is an American theoretical physicist, the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at the City College of New York, a futurist, and a communicator and popularizer of science. The American Monk starts to boast some pretty bold claims.
Here are some of them:. Hall of fame photographer. Yet he doesn’t know anything about photography.
Fantastic singer. Claims he can’t sing. His art hangs in museums.
Says he doesn’t know the first thing about painting. Books sold around the world.
He can’t write. Therapeutic Hypnotherapy Practice is world renowned. He doesn’t know anything about it. Considered a world class healer. Doesn’t have a clue how to heal.
Says he is the most relaxes person on the planet. Also says he is under a great deal of stress. His poems are compared to T.S. Elliot.
Doesn’t know anything about poetryNote: All of these claims are made by Burt Goldman, even the negative ones. He says that his doppelgangers have taught him these abilities. How did he accomplish all of these amazing feats without having any idea how to do them? He calls it Parallel Dimension Quest (PDQ). But, he doesn’t get into it right now, only saying, “More on that later.”Now we are going to get a little more into the meat of Quantum Jumping by learning about source foundations. To put it simply (if it’s possible), a source foundation is the specific event that led to the current version of you. So in a sense, every choice you make is a source foundation, no matter how small.
This is because that in one of the infinite parallel dimensions, you made the other choice. So you see, every choice you make essentially creates a parallel you, one in which you made different choices, both good and bad. In Module 2 we complete one full alpha exercise. Basically, we are going to meditate. While in meditation you are going to focus on one specific objective, “What if I were to have done that instead?”We begin with pretty standard meditation exercises, relax, deep breaths, count back from 3, etc. After you achieve what The American Monk calls a pleasant state of mind or the Alpha State, he asks us to think of the phrase, “Everyday I’m better.” Then after repeating this phrase, you place the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth and hold it there while he counts 1,2,3. This is called Bagha.

Now we must think of a source foundation. A moment in your life that is a source of frustration for you, one that you wish you could go back and change. Focus on that moment.
Now imagine you are in a small hallway with a door. Beyond that door are an infinite number of universes. He counts 1,2,3, the door opens, and you jump in.Inside you see your source foundation playing out. You are only an observer. You must watch the entire scenario as it played out originally. He counts 1,2,3 and you are back on the other side of the door.
1,2,3 and the door opens again and you jump inside. This time you see the source foundation playing out except instead of you, it’s your doppelganger, and instead of making the choice you made, he makes the choice you wish you made. 1,2,3 and you back on the other side of the door.The door closes and we count 1,2,3 again and you awake. Burt instructs us that the next time we think of that moment, we think of it in the positive manner; think of what your doppelganger did. Burt Goldman’s Quantum Jumping may sound like something that came out of science fiction, but does it have merit? One thing I am sure of is that this is a great positive thinking exercise. It has been commonly known for quite some time that the simple idea of positive thinking can help you in many facets of life.That’s essentially what we just did.
Whether you believe that you just watched your doppelganger or not, you still thought of a more positive way to look at the situation that brought you conflict. In that respect I can see how Quantum Jumping could be helpful to a lot of people. As far as communicating with my doppelgangers, I’m still quite skeptical. We will just have to wait and see. The basic premises in Goldman's work, as presented in your article, are common ones, at least in my experience:1. There is ONE mind, ONE God/Universe/All-That-Is/Source (pick your favorite term)2. We have access to it because it is within each of us (Jesus tried to tell people that fact over 2,000 years ago.)My background includes 20+ years meditation, Alchemical Hypnotherapist, some NLP training, long-term student of metaphysics, and 'widely-read seeker.'
And no, I have not listened to this program.Whether or not we're 'talking with our doppelganger in another existence' is not the issue. Do we have access to a different existence? Do we have access to every idea and thought that ever occurred? Yes.Suggested reading: Carl Jung, Gregg Braden (especially Isaiah Effect and Spontaneous Healing of Belief), the Bible and Autobiography of a Yogi (to see how it's done without buying anything). This concept is not new to me, as I have done this kind of thing a lot. The terms 'Quantum Jumping' and 'Parallel Dimension Quest' are apt ones. However, the fact that someone is trying to make money off such a potentially dangerous practice is irresponsible at best.
For people vibrating at higher frequencies or who hold a lot of energy, there is the potential to not just view or communicate with their other selves, but also to draw the events from those other lives to them. It's even possible for a person's consciousness to slip from one dimension to another, and that is a confusing nightmare - plus there's no guarantee they'll make it back to their original reality when they're done or that they'll be able to tell the difference between the correct reality and one that's just similar. The idea that you can see into a reality where you are a king/queen or a football star is not really likely. Dimensions are parallel, but not all of them are close. I've found that most versions of myself that I can access (see through their eyes, know what they know) are fairly similar to me.
If they weren't, my energy couldn't line up with theirs enough to allow access. That's where the danger lies. People might not make it back, and they'd end up in a place that's almost the same, but where they don't remember things they should remember, places they're familiar with are subtly different, or secrets they've kept are no longer secret, and so forth. The idea of teaching the average person to actually do this with a set of CDs is absurd; teaching someone who is familiar with such energy work (not the average person) to navigate is highly unlikely even with years of hands-on training.

Instructor Here's a verysimplified model of an atom. The nucleus at the center of the atom is where the protons and neutrons live, but they're kind of boring, because for the mostpart they just sit there. The real star of the show is the electron. The electron gets to doall the interesting stuff, like move around, jumparound, bind with other atoms. These dashed lines representthe different energy levels the electron can have while in the atom. We like representing these energy levels with an energy level diagram. The energy level diagramgives us a way to show what energy the electronhas without having to draw an atom with a bunch ofcircles all the time.
Let's say our pretend atomhas electron energy levels of zero eV, four eV, six eV, and seven eV. Note that moving left or righton an energy level diagram doesn't actually representanything meaningful, so technically there is no x-axis on an energy level diagram,but we draw it there anyway because it makes it look nice. All that matters is what energy level or rung on the ladder the electron is at. Note that the electron forour hypothetical atom here can only exist with zeroeV, four, six, or seven eV. The electron just cannotexist between energy levels. It's always got to be righton one of the energy levels.
Okay, so let's say our electron starts off on the zero eV energy level. It's good to note thatthe lowest energy level an electron can have in an atomis called the ground state. So how could our electronget from the ground state to any of the higher energy levels? Well, for the electron toget to a higher energy level, we've got to give theelectron more energy, and we know how to givean electron more energy. You just shoot light at it. If a photon of the rightenergy can strike an electron, the electron will absorball the photon's energy and jump to a higher energy level. The electron in thisground state needs four eV to jump to the next energy level.
That means if a photon thathad an energy of four eV came in and struck the electron, the electron would absorbthe energy of the photon, causing the photon to disappear, and that electron would jumpup to the next energy level. We call the first energylevel after the ground state the first excited state. Once the electron's atthe higher energy level, it won't stay there long.
Electrons, if given thechance, will fall towards the lowest energy level they can. So our electron will fallback down to the ground state and give up four eV of energy. The way an electron can give up energy is by emitting a photon. So after falling backdown to the ground state, this electron would emit a four eV photon. Electrons don't have to just jump one energy level at a time though. If the electron in our ground state were to absorb a six eV photon, the electron could jump all the way up to the six eV energy level. Now that the electron'sat a higher energy level, it's gonna try to fall backdown, but there's a couple ways it could fall back down in this case.
The electron could falldown to the ground state all in one shot, giving up asix eV photon in the process, but since the electron startedat the six eV energy level, it could've also fallen firstto the four eV energy level, emitting a two eV photon in the process. It's a two eV photonbecause the electron dropped two electron volts in energy, and now that the electron'sat the four eV energy level, it'll fall back down to the ground state, emitting a four eV photon in the process. So electrons will sometimes drop multiple energy levels at a time, and sometimes they'll chooseto take individual steps, but regardless, the energyof the photon is always equal to the difference inelectron energy levels. What if our electron's in the ground state and we send a five eV photon at it? If the electron were to absorb all of the energy of the five eV photon, it would now have five electron volts, but that's not an allowed energy level, so the electron can't absorb this photon, and the photon will passstraight through the atom.
Keep in mind, the electron in the atom has to absorb all of thephoton's energy or none of it. It can't just absorb part of it. Alright, so now we could figure out every possible photonthis atom could absorb. If the electron's in the ground state, it could absorb a four eV photon, or a six eV photon, or a seven eV photon. If the electron's atthe second energy level, also called the first excited state, the electron could absorb a two eV photon or a three eV photon.
And if the electron wereat the third energy level, or the second excited state, the electron could absorb a one eV photon. Those are the only photons that this atom will be seen to absorb. 2.5eV photons will pass straight through, five eV photons willpass straight through, 6.3eV photons will pas straight through. What this means is thatif you were to shine light that consisted of all possible wavelengths through a gas that wascomposed of our pretend atoms, all the wavelengths wouldnot make it through. Some of the wavelengthswould get absorbed, then scattered away in random directions. This would manifest itself asdark lines in the spectrum, missing wavelengths ormissing energy levels that correspond to the energies of photons that our electron can absorb.
This is like a fingerprint for an atom, and it's called thatatom's absorption spectrum. If you were to ever see thisprogression of dark lines in these exact positions, you would know that the gas you werelooking at was composed at least partly of our hypothetical atom. This also allows astronomers to determine what stuff in our universe is made out of, even though we can't get closeenough to collect a sample. All we have to do is collect light from a distant star or quasar that shines through the stuff we're interested in, then just determine which wavelengths or energies got taken out.
The details are a littlemessier than that, but this provides astronomers with maybe the most importanttool at their disposal. Now the absorption spectrumare all of the wavelengths or energies that an atom will absorb from light that passes through it. You could also ask aboutthe emission spectrum.
The emission spectrum areall of the wavelengths or energies that an atom will emit due to electrons fallingdown in energy levels. You could go through all the possibilities of an electron falling down again, but you'd realize you're gonna get the exact same energiesfor the emission spectrum that you got for the absorption spectrum. So instead of lettinglight pass through a gas composed of your hypothetical atoms, let's say you made a container that had the gas ofyour hypothetical atoms, and you ran an electriccurrent through it, exciting those electronsto higher energy levels and letting them fall backdown to lower energy levels. This is what happens in neon lights, or if you're in scienceclass it's what happens in gas discharge tubes. So for the emissionspectrum, instead of seeing the whole electromagneticspectrum with a few lines missing, you're going to onlysee a handful of lines that correspond to theenergies of those photons that that atom will emit.
Okay I've gotta be honest about something. If any physicists are watching this video, they're cringing because the energies that electrons will have inan atom are not positive. The energies an electroncan have in an atom are actually all negative values. This is because theelectron's bound to the atom. Anything that's bound to something else will have total energiesthat are negative.
This is analogous to a ballstuck at the bottom of a ditch. If the ball's not movingit has no kinetic energy, and if we assume that ground level is the H equals zero position,then this ball's gonna have a negative gravitational potential energy. Since this ball has anegative total energy, it's stuck and bound to the ditch. If someone could givethis ball enough energy so that it would havepositive total energy, the ball could leave the ditch. It would not be bound anymore. So to make our hypotheticalatom a little more realistic, let's subtract 10eVfrom each energy level. This doesn't really change anything.
In order for the electron to get from the -10eV ground state tothe -6eV first excited state, it's still gonna take a four eV photon. People do get confused withthe negative signs though, so be careful. In order to find the energy of the photon that was absorbed or emitted, you always take the higher energy level and subtract from itthe lower energy level.
So in this case, we would take -6eV, and subtract from it -10eV, which tells us that it would take a four eV photon to bump an electron upto that energy level, and the electron wouldemit a four eV photon if it dropped back down from that level. Something else that's unrealistic about our hypotheticalatom is that real atoms wouldn't just stop at -3eVfor the highest energy level. Real atoms have energylevels that get closer and closer together asyou approach a zero eV. What happens when an electrongets more than zero eV energy? Well if an electron hasmore than zero energy, that means it's got positive energy. And if it's got positive energy, it's not bound to the atom anymore. It'll be free to leave, it'll be gone, and we'll say that we've ionized the atom by removing an electron.
So for example, say the electron started at the -4eV energy level andit absorbed a seven eV photon, that electron would have a total energy of positive three eV, and soit would be gone from the atom. (upbeat music).
