Team Spiritual Wellness: Do You See Clearly?

Sister Kateri Theriault

Do you see clearly?

Early in the 20th century quantum physicists discovered a mysterious phenomenon they called “the disturbing observer.” They had learned that merely observing a quantum particle changes it in unpredictable ways. As a result scientists have had to develop elaborate methods for their experiments to compensate for the changes their observations cause. What is true at the quantum level of reality holds true at the visible level as well, only the effects are much more subtle. In other words, your attitude toward a person or event has an unpredictable effect on what you perceive. Today, be aware that what you observe is partly of your own making. Are you judging or loving?
