Freedom, Creativity & the Quantum Self
In an unmindful being there is no superposition (the sum of all probabilities) of quantum possibilities from which consciousness in creative wisdom may select and so collapse the quantum wave function into manifest reality. The state of being unmindful results in conditioned responses to stimuli replaying regardless of suitability of that response to the situation, lack of wisdom and often despite the knowledge that suffering will result. As an example if I, for some reason, was to become angry and my girlfriend walked into the room at that moment to ask me a simple question and I was to carry my irritation over into my interaction with her it is obvious that I will cause myself further suffering because she will then return my own anger to me. The antidote to this is mindfulness.
