Quantum Jumping to Enlightenment

L'Atmosphere: Météorologie Populaire (Paris, 1888) - Quantum jumping — Colour adaptation of the original by Camille Flammarion (1842-1925).- L’atmosphère : météorologie populaire, Hachette, Paris, 1888

Today the magic of the Internet fed me some new food for thought, as I stumbled on a video I had been watching a video called “Enlightenment” on Youtube so several weeks ago, and just today got back to it and after only 5 minutes it expanded my mind with the terminology “Quantum Jumping”.

Random searching that keyword phrase and the word Gnosis when I noticed the thumbnail for this image from 1888 that completely captured my senses, perfect for an illustration of the impossible to explain, which when colour was added became a Quantum Jump poster (in my opinion). Hope this triggers you to jump.

The Flammarion engraving is a wood engraving by an unknown artist that first appeared in Camille Flammarion‘s *L’atmosphère: météorologie populaire* (1888). The image depicts a man crawling under the edge of the sky, depicted as if it were a solid hemisphere, to look at the mysterious Empyrean beyond. The caption translates to “A medieval missionary tells that he has found the point where heaven and Earth meet…”

What does quantum jumping mean? An abrupt transition of a system described by quantum mechanics from one of its discrete states to another, as the fall of an electron in an atom to an orbit of lower energy. any sudden and significant change, advance, or increase.
