From “About the Author - Overview” it was stated: How and why it said he is inherently a mystic is provided in the discussion similarly entitled “Inherently a Mystic.” Why he is an energy physicist is similarly discussed in “Why Become a Physicist.” In actually, his decision to become an energy physicist arose out of the best acceptable expression he found early in life for his mystical nature and about what he understood needed to be learned.

The reason why the author chose to become a physicist is reflective of the one of the earlier occasions where his mystical path surfaced to directly influence his professional path. It can be said that his reason for becoming a physicist was a direct result of the intention he set at age sixteen described in “Inherently a Mystic.” It is a direct result of how a clearly held intention continually influences our life. That is, to focus on learning those concepts and principles that he could take from place to place that, in essence, transcended time and place.

In actuality there was no logical and rational reason for him to want to become a physicist. In fact, his first exposure to physics convinced him is was not a subject of interest to him. After his High School experience of physics, it was a subject he wanted to stay away from. Yet, something of interest happen that came from the deepest parts of his being.

There is one and only reason why the author became a physicist. But, in the end it was reflective of his mystical connection to life and his intention to understand that which transcended time and place. The author became a physicist because he wanted to understand what give rise to orbital bonding theory of organic molecules. That understanding was something that he saw cut across all aspects of chemistry and organic chemistry as was something worth pursuing. How and why that prompted him to become physicist went back two years earlier to something which began as an experience in High School

As a result of a strange twist of fate, if there are twists of fate, the author had chemistry in his sophomore year of High School. So to fill in the science curriculum the school offered organic chemistry to the juniors. It was something rarely done at the High School level. The way the organic chemistry was taught was the way the teacher was taught it in college, maybe 30 years earlier - probably around the late 1940's. In many ways Organic Chemistry was taught to the author the way it was taught from the very earliest days of Organic Chemistry. Very complex reaction, all seemed to be following separate principles, each having to be memorized as a separate process. Many of the organic reactions seemed to have no rhyme or reason as to why the molecules reacted the way they did. One just had to accept it and memorize it. Organic Chemistry seemed to be very much a cookbook science. You had to follow the rituals in the cookbook if you wanted to do anything.

Since mathematics and chemistry were so easy for the author, he decided to become a chemical engineer. He never saw himself as a chemist in a laboratory nor did he see himself as a mathematician sitting at a desk. He wanted to be out in the world so he felt, rightly or wrongly, chemical engineering would be a better choice.

As a freshman in college two years later, his college chemistry professor decided to push the limits on the traditional chemistry curriculum and teach quantum orbital theory (which come from quantum mechanics). At that time, quantum orbital bonding theory was still very new and was only being proven as valid. It has not yet gain total acceptance but the evidence was too strong to say there was not a truth within the theory. Within a few lectures the professor presented principles that simplified organic chemistry into a few basic understanding about electron orbitals and how orbitals like to bond. Suddenly all of organic chemistry became obvious as to why there were all of these seemingly different pieces and a clarity arose within the author. It was much like the awareness that arose when he has his first experience with his power to observe. The clarity he gained demanded that he understand the theory which gave rise to orbital bonding theory. He had to explore its origins.

In talking to his chemistry professor he learned that origins of orbital bonding theory was an application of quantum mechanics which in turn come from the realm of physics. So the author set out to learn physics. The chemistry profession did everything he could to convince the author to switch to chemistry and work in the professor’s laboratory as an undergraduate. However, the author’s heart was set on understanding quantum theory. So he switched to become a physicist. But, as any quantum physicist would probably tell you, quantum mechanics is something you never really understand. It is too much for our mind to fully comprehend. It is too much to be believed based on what we experience every day in life. It is like entering another world - the world of the unseen. At times it seemly like magic, pure magic rather than science. Yet, it works. In respect to chemistry, the author did take organic chemistry as an elective subject as a physicist. That, of course, puzzled most of the organic chemistry faculty since physicist rarely learned organic chemistry.

When organic chemistry was viewed one way, everything was a separate piece and had to be learned individually. Viewed another way, everything just followed basic principles to their logical conclusion and you could predict chemical reactions before they happened. Simply by knowing the preference as to how electrons like to bond in atoms you knew what they would most probably do. That is, if you understood the basic principles In fact, using those basic principles, you can create designer molecules that have never existed. That too has be done because of orbital bonding theory - something previously almost impossible to do. To a chemist, really neat stuff. To a physicist, just one of many applications of quantum theory.

What is important to note about the author’s experience in organic chemistry and the reason for him to become a physicist is that what caused him to become a physicist is exactly what he experienced when he tried to look at the rhyme or reason behind many of the diverse spiritual and religious practices of people. In exploring creativity and the creative powers we can access, the author was drawn to look at a variety of religious and spiritual traditions. He looked at these traditions to see what they had to say about accessing the external creative powers/Creative Power and how effective they were at doing so.

What the author came to understanding about creatively accessing and understanding the unseen realms of Creation was much like organic chemistry before orbital bonding theory. There were many different independent forms each needing to be learned independently like learning organic reactions. Yet, what the author could see is that there is such a simplified understanding for the unseen realms. That simplifying teaching can be made available to people. The issue was to look for that set of basic principles where all the pieces could come together into an integrated fashion. But yet, that is in essence the same question he asked at age sixteen and at twenty one as discussed in “Inherently a Mystic.”

In time he found such a simplified understanding. It is the awareness that arose out of the Ultimate Accident and is the foundation principles for the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity Technology. What the author experienced and saw in the complexity of organic chemistry simplified by orbital bonding theory, he saw all the diverse elements of the seen and unseen Creation simplify within the understanding we all have an inherent creative spirit with an unlimited creativity to create the experiences it has and that energy and consciousness are just different forms of the same material of Creation.
