The child is the father of the man
There are many interpretations of this phrase. Mine is that you are building your future self, everyday, with the choices you make, the habits you develop.
So the question starts with – what kind of man do you want to become?
I’ve explored before about using the Alien perspective. What if you were an alien landing on this earth from a far advanced civilisation and you could think in a totally different way. What would you do to achieve your goals? This helps to cut through some of our dogma, and enables us to think more logically. They would definitely use data, learn, and use AI, use all resources available, and be much faster, among other things.
But the limitations of the Alien perspective is that it doesn’t include what makes you human, and what your natural strengths and advantages are. It could just make you a cold robot, or worse, evil. You could end up hating yourself and what you’ve become. So I think it’s important to incorporate a more complete range of perspectives and toolkits.
8 Powerful Perspectives for the Quantum Man
To become the quantum man, the actualised best self that you can be. It’s necessary to build a collection of attributes. Such as:
- Drive, motivation, and mindset
- Intentions
- Expectations
- Self-awareness
- Strength Development
- Curiousity
- Discipline
- Courage
- Resiliance
But it’s quite vague just to consider a list of attributes, and say, OK I want to be more disciplined. That’s great, but will that help you get up in the morning? Here are the 8 Powerful perspectives of becoming the Quantum Man looking at it:
- The Alien Perspective
- The Alignment of God
- The Strength of Accumulated Ancestors
- 1% is discovered
- Unlimited Parallel Universes
- Greats from History
- Choose Muhammad Ali as a Sparring Partner
- Your 12 and 80 year old self
From this we have the following mindsets automatically,
- Growth mindset
- An expectation of being your best
- Hungry for learning
- Positivity
- Abundance
but it’s much more powerful than just saying, OK i will be more courage.
The Alien Perspective
You are an alien who has landed on earth, and you are superior. So what would you do? You’d learn voraciously instantly, you’d be so fast to do anything. You wouldn’t listen to opinion of others. You’d utilise technology and AI in everything. You might be a bit cold, hyper logical. You’d be super ambitious. Imagine if you yourself went back to 1500 and lived there, wouldn’t you be more ambitious than average? Everything would also be easy? Well imagine you are an advanced Alien and now you landed on this planet.
The Alignment of God
There is a reason that religion has spread all over the world. Because it gives a perspective and is an operating system that gives advantages to its believers. This connects us with our heart and mind, so we are going in the direction that we are aligned with. We are also aligned with everything else in the world.
The Strength of Accumulated Ancestors
You have the strength of all your ancestors, just imagine how much work they did, and the situations they overcome, for you to be here. Imagine them looking down on you, when you are afraid to do something.
1% is Known of the Tree of Knowledge
The nature of our universe is that we believe we already know so much, but as we discover new things, more things open up. How much is there to learn? There is so much we don’t know about biology, the universe, dark matter. There could be no limit to what we can learn, so 1% being known could be
The tree of knowledge is the idea that all knowledge and fields are connected. We just call them fields. Physics, Biology, fundamentally they are all the same. You can learn lessons from some, and apply them to the other. There is so much more to learn and know.
Unlimited Parallel Universes
There are an unlimited number of potentialities that can happen. Frederick Dodson’s book on reality creation is a great way to think about things. If you do this A, then it opens up a whole new tree of outcomes, which exponentially opens up every moment. Anything is possible. You can resonate with and choose the path and outcome you desire.
Advisory board of Greats from Eternity
You can access an advisory board of the greats from history, and the greats from the moment, and the greats from the future, and consider, what would they say or suggest? Some people who I would consult with would be: Elon Musk, Benjamin Franklin, My Family, and I can consider others from situation to situation.
Choose Muhammad Ali as Your Sparring Partner
In boxing training, the level of who you practice with, is one of the biggest impacts on your skill development. So you want to be sparring with the best, with AI, with the elite, so you can become the best. This shows the value of having great coaches, and support.
Your 12 and 80 year old self
This is another perspective which can help you become your best self. What were the dreams of your 12 year old self, and for your 80 year old, looking back. What would you have desired to have happen? and desire to have happened? That can give you perspective and clues as to what you really want.
Conflict
So what happens when they become in conflict? If you have many perspectives they are often likely to have times when they have competing thoughts. So you can just choose and learn.
Directions
These are just frameworks and ways of thinking and you can choose them to build up your goals, and make choices. It would be a bit weird to be thinking about them all the time, but, like you can think of them like your board of advisors. To consult with them when you have a question.
So what are some directions I am planning to go based on this? I will share in a following article.
