The Jungian and Quantum Consciousness Bridge You may have been taught that mind and matter are separate. That physical reality exists concretely outside of us and we simply sense and interact with what is already there. But quantum physics tells us something different. Let us start by defining specifically what is mind and what is matter — within our brains.

I know this woman well. She grew up in a world with very specific rules about her body. Rules that told her she was born flawed, sinful, and in need of redemption.

You might find yourself continually attracting emotionally unavailable partners.
