### Moving on 
We all have those times or moments in our lives when we need to move on. It sometimes happens fluidly as if a junction has approached and we instinctively take the path we need to. Other times, we get stuck at a life junction because it's dark and we can't see the path ahead. We may fear what's down that path because it's unknown or we may be forced to take a step / leap in to the unknown because our situation has changed and we HAVEN'T. I'm at one of those moments right now and it is difficult. It's causing me a compound problem because it has a lot to do with where I live, where I might live next and that impacts my family, my friends and my work in a close coupled way. I'll go into that in a bit more depth later.

### I Believe The Universe
I've had far too many synchronistic moments in my *brief life* and had other experiences too, to believe that the universe has no purpose and I choose to think that we (as a species) don't really understand why we're here as humans on planet Earth. I've had glimpses though and I'm sure that my higher mind knows that really, we chose to be here at this time as the person we are, to learn, to contribute and to advance the Universe in very slight, small but nonetheless, significant ways and for this reason, I never give up, nor claim to know everything about everything and feel secure that even the darkest path has light and knowledge at the end of it.  I'm also sure that the things that we feel are our important contributions are often of the least relevance and the things which we offer and take for granted are the most powerful of our gifts. I also think that there's a fuzzy logic to that notion in that whatever we are strongly aware of is not the really important *stuff* and it's supposed to be that way for effectiveness of our actions. 

### Consider This
Every action we carry out, every interaction we initiate and take part in, and to some extent, perhaps indirectly or leading to and contributing to the first two, every thought too, has what I call **infinite consequence**. Like a ripple across the pond of space-time to infinity (or eventual heat death, whichever comes first), everything we do has a consequence which ripples out and increases it's effect the further into the future we go. This is both logical and intuitive and knowing this means you may consider your actions that bit more carefully, especially when dealing with other people. Of course, the act of writing this article is included in that bracket (as are all things) so I am conscious that when writing this, what I say has to be inclusive, correct to the best of my own inner knowledge and hopefully carries a positive message. 

### Self Awareness 
I'd like to think that as people become aware of the notion of the *infinite consequence* or *infinite ripple effect* in their lives, they may consider their actions more carefully, as perhaps people in earlier times did in respect of their relationship with the concept of God and how their actions positive or negatively, would reflect on their personal favour.  I joke not, I feel it is of the same magnitude in terms of responsibility, but in our post modern and *enlightened* age perhaps I feel that it is ourselves who judge whether we have lived a worthy life, not a deity.

### A Junction
I am at a junction in my life. I have had a few major junction points and this one feels quite significant. It will change so many aspects of my life that I am beginning to consider it's many apparent implications in a new light. I have to move home. I have lived in this area for many years. I came here to be part of a larger world, one that is more inclusive, sophisticated, has more opportunity and is populated with more people who share my values. It has served all those purposes and I have benefited both spiritually and materially from being here. I can no longer sustain my existence here, or more correctly I have outgrown my available space. The area has become very popular with wealthy people and I can no longer afford a property of the size I require for my family. I have 2 incredible and quite small daughters who need space, fresh air and a garden to play in. My wife needs the peace and quiet that our daughters deserve and I find myself fearful of the prospect of moving (what seems like backwards) inevitably to a place, less sophisticated, but more affordable. It will mean more travel and I have avoided being a commuter for many years by simply living in the city suburbs. 

### Community
Near enough to the centre to be in and out quickly when required and with all the amenities city people crave, like cinemas, restaurants, transport links, etc but just far enough out to enjoy parks with trees and a feeling of community. That is perhaps the most important issue. I have a community here. I know many people and although not all of them fit with my own model of thinking, that is not the most important part of community. Knowing people and saying hello, stopping for a chat, that's more what it's about for me. So I shouldn't be so fearful of moving. I will inevitably meet new people. Fresh air, space and a more peaceful existence have their benefits for my daughters, who will undoubtedly blossom in the outdoors, running around a garden, learning about plants, examining insects and knowing how to grow food at home. Experiencing the wonder of nature that will be on our doorstep. I may even grow to love my new environment and I hadn't considered that. It's not so far that we'll never see anyone we know again. Sure, you won't be able to drop round for a cup of tea so easy but coming to visit will be a treat for us and you'll just have to stay for dinner, perhaps overnight. We'll be able to accommodate you in our new home much more comfortably. 

### Importance of the Infinite Ripple
This feels like a whole set of skimming stones across a pond, causing intersecting ripples to begin fanning out. It's not as much about me as it is about my family, (which includes me as a part of it) and for our wider family, it will mean being able to spend more quality time. Our parent with their grandchildren, our siblings with their nieces, our close friends with us. The ripples have already been made. We've been to look around different areas. We've researched various aspects of moving home. These implications have been measured and we now just have to look for the right home and hope we are in the right place at the right time for it all to work out in the best possible way.

### Which Brings me to Intentional Quantum Collapse or ICQ for short
You may have heard of a thing called *the secret* or *positive thinking*. It's an old idea and one I've studied intently for many years. I have written about my findings before. The short version is that we live in a multi-dimensional Universe (and this is not my original idea, string theory's). The sub-atomic particles haven't decided what's going to happen before they pop into our existence but consciousness and the co-creation of others is what makes / decides reality.) What I have found is that a) we are doing this all the time and B) how to access a certain mind state to actively become involved in the co-creation of reality to a much higher level. There are various forms of meditation and *mindfulness* is popular at the moment. I spent years working out how to focus the mind's energy at the quantum level. Our minds are quantum machines working inside a 4D space-time so are subject to all the quantum fluctuations and *spooky* actions which QC describes. 

### Visualisation is a Key
If we can focus intently with a strong visualisation element in a heavily positive and consistent way, we can affect the outcome of possibilities. I'm not saying you can make an Elephant drop from the sky, because it's not there to be dropped but in the many small and immediate realities of our own lives and indeed - importantly in the lives of others, those close to us and around us, we can effect change, small change and tip the scales ever so slightly in the direction of positivity. I have learned while investigating that negative energy very easily replaces the positive outcome and that feels like a natural balance;  the slightest hesitancy can change things very quickly and to effect change, we need to consistently focus on the positive outcome without fail. The slightest deviation can make the opportunity pass and this is how it should be. It's fair that way, if that's the right way to describe one conscious wish versus another. 

### It May Be No Great Surprise
To learn that we are all doing this all the time and the main difference between successful people is that they are good at it, whether they are aware of it or not. Motivation can make your dreams come true. By positively imagining the outcome you desire, you can inch yourself along the Universe to it. or more correctly you can bring it down / through into the now. Affirmative thinking creates positive outcome. You can practice becoming lucky. Conversely you can get stuck in a *negative spiral* which is more correct than it appears as a description of negatively self affecting outcomes. It's also important to remember that being surrounded by positive or negative outlook greatly amplifies the collapsing of states, because we do not act alone. We co-create all the time. You might have a particularly positive friend who seems to just make things happen and you like to be around them for there's always a good vibe or outcome. That person is probably channeling their own good intention in their mind all the time and without realising it showers it out to those around them. You may also have a negative friend who tends to suck the life out of everything and for whom, nothing ever seems to go right. These poor unfortunate individuals don't have to do much, just negatively imagine circumstances which seem to happen more frequently for them. 

### You & I Both
We've all been both at some time in our lives. We are affected by things which happen to us and we're influenced by events outside our control, people around us.  We may at certain times be stronger or weaker than those around us and this affects outcomes too. We're *on fire* on top *of our game* or we're *stuck in a rut*. As you can clearly see, these aphorisms have a very real,literal and quite obvious truth contained them. 

### Opportunity in the Real World
So to finish off, the Quantum particles don't have it all. They have to interact with real matter which is solid enough, dense enough to need a good shove to make things change and with so much conscious interacting to co-create reality, matter.. matters !  If you think of a positive outcome and focus on it, it's very likely you need to act upon it too in the real world. For example, you really want to win the lottery (bad example but it's basic)  you focus your intent, you imagine the win, you try and pick the numbers.. Uh oh, you forgot to buy a ticket ! You want that dream job so bad it hurts. You didn't send your CV. That amazing person you want to befriend / date / marry. You didn't say hello / give them your number / express an interest. Oh, they don't even know you exist. All crappy examples perhaps but very real situations. The winners are all busy actively involving their very real, present selves in getting the results they want. Usain Bolt, didn't just out wish his Olympic medals while eating chicken nuggets before a race. He went to bed early, got up, trained and made it to the track in the right frame of mind. You have to apply yourself to the task in hand. 

### We found Our Dream Home
We found it and it was amazing. It wasn't to be. We weren't in the right place at the right time. It wasn't meant for us. We were scheduled for a viewing and it fell through, we were disappointed. (Hey who knows it might be in the future?).. but importantly, it was a light on the path to guide us, an inspiration to show us what could be possible. What might be at the end of the path. The moral of this story is don't give up, ever,  you are more powerful, important and significant than you could ever imagine. You just forgot and you're not really supposed to fully remember.. remember ?  Stay positive and if it helps, talk to someone. A goal shared is a goal, possibly co-created and you can co-create almost anything you want. Except that Elephant falling out of the sky, unless there is a slim, remote chance that there's one up there, right above you now, travelling by aeroplane with loose cargo doors. So be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
