Quantum world is so strange that various new metaphors are being used. Zohar describes it as a "vast porridge of being where nothing is fixed or measurable...just beyond our grasp". Another scientist- Capra- defines it as a place where everything is interconnected like a vast network of interference patterns. Capra (1983) also stated that the universe looks more like a great thought rather than a great machine.
When the world started to be a machine and when we started to recognize its dynamic qualities many familiar aspects of it disappeared. Rather than searching for the basic building blocks of matter scientists discovered that things changed form and properties as they respond to one another and to the observer.
In the quantum world, relationships are all there is to reality (Wheatley, 2009). There are so many patterns of active relationship all in response to each other and to the environment that their 'elusive double lives' continue to tease us (Wheatley, 2009). Elementary particles like neurons, electrons..etc. come into being through interactions with other energy sources and no particle can be drawn independent from each other (Wheatley, 2009).
As human beings, we are at the edge of this new world of relationships. This world of relationships is rich and complex. To live in this quantum world with ease and grace, we need to change what we do. We need to become savy about how to foster relationships, how to nurture growth and development. We need to become better at listening, conversing, respecting one another's uniqueness as these are the fundamentals of strong relationships. We are no longer unconnected individuals. More and more relationships are out there in the vast web of life. Thanks to the power of the Internet, shouldn't we make a more meaningful use of this interconnectedness?
