My collaborator, Amit Goswami, PhD, once posed the question, “What is happiness?” to two renowned psychologists, Stan Krippner and Joan Borysenko, and their responses were intriguing. Krippner viewed happiness as observable signs or “pointers.” For instance, if someone is smiling or shaking hands after earning money, it suggests they are happy or satisfied.
However, he felt he avoided a deeper exploration, simply pointing to external cues that may or may not truly reflect inner happiness. Borysenko, on the other hand, took a different perspective. She suggested that happiness is our natural state, but we frequently block it—like clouds obscuring the sun. Removing these “clouds” could help restore our inherent happiness. Interestingly, materialists often equate happiness with pleasure. Johnny Carson once quipped, “Happiness is a dry martini.” This reflects the idea that pleasure, driven by dopamine, defines happiness. But is happiness merely a molecular phenomenon? Surely, there is more to it. In exploring quantum science, Amit and I both sought to better define happiness.
When are we genuinely happy? A common answer is when we love. Love expands our consciousness, creating a profound connection. Quantum science explains this as a “quantum leap” into an expanded state of awareness. While working on The Quantum Brain, Amit and I revisited these ideas. Our earlier theory, detailed in The Self-Aware Universe, proposed that consciousness manifests in two stages. The first is a rare, pure experience of the “quantum self,” characterized by unconditioned, non-local awareness where communication transcends signals. This expanded consciousness connects us deeply with others without exchanging signals. The second stage is the ego, a contracted state that limits this connection except in rare phenomena like psychic experiences. Recent discoveries revealed the existence of a pre-conscious state, occurring about half a second of preconscious reflection. This state acts as a bridge between the expansive quantum self and the limitations of the ego. Remarkably, meditation can reduce this half-second gap, making happiness more accessible. By meditating, engaging in meaningful activities, loving, and being kind, we can develop brain circuits that sustain pre-conscious awareness, enabling us to experience happiness more frequently.
This pre-conscious state is a key to happiness for ordinary people. By consistently practicing positive habits, we can rewire our brains to dwell in this state more often. Sunita Pathani and Amit Goswami have even developed, while working on their book, The quantum psychology and the science of i | P a g e Journal of Quantum Science of Consciousness happiness, a “happiness scale,” ranging from level 0 (psychosis) to level 1 (neurotic recovery), level 2 (normalcy), and level 2+ (positive mental health). Abraham Maslow and the field of positive psychology have explored these levels, but the most profound shift occurs when we make a quantum leap. Balancing negative emotions with positive ones through meditation and mindfulness can bring emotional equanimity—a hallmark of enlightenment, as emphasized in spiritual texts like the Bhagavad Gita. This equanimity marks the beginning of enlightenment and becomes the test for further progress, let’s call it level 3 of happiness. The more emotionally balanced we become, the higher we climb the ladder toward wholeness—a state free of conflict. Quantum science refers to this ultimate state as “quantum enlightenment” or “supramental intelligence,” borrowing from Aurobindo’s terminology.
It represents a shift from seeing happiness as mere molecular pleasure to understanding it as a capacity we can cultivate and embody. By embracing this perspective, we can achieve greater happiness and fulfilment in life. In this issue of the journal we have published five articles.
1. Anahata Chakra Practice To Understand Higher Physiology Of The Heart. A Case Report. In the book Quantum integrative medicine, Amit Goswami, PhD, and I have proposed that quantum leaps at the heart produce higher physiology at the heart chakra organs. Sangeeta Nehra, PhD, Ayurvedic physician has empirically verified this idea in this article.
2. Consciousness Calling: Quantum Agency of a Universe in the Making. Patrick Corsi, PhD, has a playful article on the relevance of quantum science and quantum worldview over the current craze about the materialist worldview based on information and artificial intelligence,
3. A Spiritual / Quantum View of Humanity’s History. Amit Goswami, PhD and Greg Kern, MA, provide us with a spiritual history of humanity based on recent anthropological and archaeological data and quantum science.
4. Hypnotherapy: Reframing and Clearing Past Traumas. In this article, Psychologist Cecilia Frei, MA, examines applications of quantum psychology to the phenomenon of hypnosis.
5. Quantum Gerontology – Application of Quantum Integrative Medicine. Finally, last, but not least, Amit and I have explored quantum gerontology: quantum integrative medicine applied to elderly people. For more on quantum science, take a look at our transformative courses at cqaedu.com, where we explore these ideas in levels of depth – we offer Certifications, Masters’, PhD in quantum science of health, prosperity and happiness. The courses are fully online for the four types of certification.
The advanced degrees are also taught entirely online, with a significant annual 10-day intensive proximity requirement component in Jaipur, India, where we put in practice all the quantum principles. Together with my entire team, we wish you a wonderful 2025, filled with meaning and happiness!

Atomic and subatomic particles follow the laws of Quantum Mechanics. We can’t predict a particle’s state in a future time, but can only predict the probability that it has, to be in a particular state. Atoms come together and form molecules, and molecules form gross bodies. These gross bodies however follow Newton’s Laws; we can predict with complete certainty about their physical parameters in a future time. On Earth, from atoms and molecules, stones are formed, and in the Universe from hydrogen atoms that float in the Universe, stars are formed. In nature, Quantum systems evolve into Newtonian.
Let’s now turn towards ourselves; we possess a gross physical body. But we do possess Quantum bodies namely the vital, the mental, and also the supramental, about which we have no doubt. These quantum bodies show a similar propensity, that is, they tend to be conditioned and predictable. This happens all the time and we must take corrective steps to retain their quantum nature. The primary aim of this journal is to spread knowledge about the Quantum nature of our being.
In this issue of the journal, we are presenting eight papers. In the following paragraph, we will describe them briefly
Photons emitted by the human body are called bio-photons. Multiple types of research show that this kind of electromagnetic emission can help us understand the status of biological systems and human health. Professor Pagliaro and his group have been investigating the emission of bio-photons from the human body for the last several years and have written several papers on the subject. We feel honoured for the paper he has submitted to our journal.
Professor Goswami’s paper deals with the fundamental question of the role of consciousness in a measurement. Professor Goswami has explained in comprehensible language the various paradoxes of Quantum Mechanics that puzzled us for decades and the way he has resolved them. He has demonstrated that quantum measurement theory alone leads us to an interpretation of quantum physics on the firm foundation of the metaphysics of monistic idealism—consciousness is the ground of all beings and gives us a new paradigm of quantum science of consciousness. Most importantly, in this paper, he has shown how consciousness and its ideas are embodied in the material bodies of the living and the sentient. The problem of how there can be quantum in the brain and other organs of the body even at the macro-level despite the phenomenon of de-coherence has also been explained.
The pandemic was a major catalyst for the pursuit of spirituality and the question of the purpose of life. The second paper is by Dr. Sandhya Kanade and is titled “Well-being and Spiritual Transformation in the Post-Covid Era”. Her study aims to clarify some of the concepts as well as to introduce quantum concepts and tools for the process of spiritual transformation. It also introduces the concept of measurement of transformation and the signposts one could use to confirm that one remains on the path. By designing a routine that was followed by a group of individuals the author claims that there was a positive shift in the indicators for spiritual transformation in the group.
The paper by A. Mozumder et al. reports the results of experiments on telepathic phenomena between individuals living far away from one another. They observed that there is a clear indication of such nonlocal communication that occurs between individuals who get entangled with one another, chances of which grow as the entanglement gets deeper.
Quantum Science of Consciousness gives us an understanding of the nature of our being; It is also used for treating abnormalities of the physical, mental, and vital bodies; It can also be used to address social and economic issues. We have two papers on the subject in this issue, one by Sujith Ravindran and the other by Patrick Corsi.
Sujith Ravindran has written an interesting paper that describes its possible application in the management of organizations. He proposes a new model to measure Impact Matrics within an organization using the Quantum Science of Consciousness.
The paper, Money Mind and Conscious Economics by Patrick Corsi is novel and thought provoking, compels the reader to rethink about the notion of money and value. The author answers some of the intriguing questions about money. How can we overcome the supply-demand duality in market spaces? When do we own money? What is money’s relationship to space and time? And what is missing from disembodied finance? This article invites us to open up a transformative vision of money that doesn’t operationally limit its energy, and that opens up a subtle side to economics.
The authors Amit Goswami and Krishanu Goswami have examined the controversial subject of Astrology in the light of fresh scientific perspective of Quantum Science in their paper “Quantum Astrology”. According to the authors, Astrology can provide deep insight into personal archetypes that one should pursue throughout their existence, identify one’s dharma and help us to navigate the challenges in the path of self-discovery
Finally, an article by Elsa Wagdi reviews the various ways to treat chronic diseases using integrative medicine.
Happy reading!
