The Future Self...
You Are The Effect Of Their Cause. This "Quantum" Technique Shows You How
There is a psychological lie we all believe: that time is linear, that healing takes time, and that suffering comes only from the past.
But what if that’s not true?
What if the pain you're in right now... isn't punishment for your past, but interference from your future?
This isn’t just a spiritual metaphor. It’s a quantum principle.
In quantum physics, retrocausality is the idea that a future event can influence a past one. It’s been demonstrated in experiments like Wheeler’s delayed choice experiment, where the behavior of a particle seems to be determined by how it's measured in the future. That’s wild science—but it also mirrors something we intuitively experience.
When I lost my business, my money, and what I thought was my future, I was flooded with fear. But underneath that fear was something else: a pull. Like I was being rerouted.
I wasn't being punished. I was being interrupted. The version of me that I was could not hold the timeline I was trying to walk. My future self knew that. So it sent signals. Pain. Friction. Loss. Not to destroy me, but to collapse the timeline I didn’t belong on.
When you apply the idea of retrocausality through the lens of personal growth, it reveals something beautiful:
Your pain isn’t random. It’s precision interference. It’s your future self collapsing the version of you that can’t hold what’s coming.
The Default Programming of Psychology
Most of us have been trained to think healing is a linear, time-bound process:
"This sucks. It'll take time to get over it."
But what we forget is this: The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your stories.
And those stories aren't just conscious. They're stored deep in the subconscious—beneath thought, beneath logic. These stories live in your nervous system, your identity, your emotional memory.
They become your operating system.
But here's the truth most people never realize:
You can rewrite the story. And when you do, you don’t just feel better. You may just jump timelines.
The Quantum Future Protocol
This is a process I teach my coaches and frequently use in my coaching practice. It is a process where one adopts the perspective of the future self and changes the story from that vantage point.
I call it the Quantum Future Protocol, also known as the Retrocausality Protocol. It takes inspiration from quantum physics.
It’s core Purpose? To help you bypass current limitations, and especially painful “stuck situations,” by stepping into the version of yourself who has already transcended them. This isn’t just visualization—it’s a form of identity reprogramming. And it starts by shifting brainwave and nervous system states before any mental work can begin.
Step-by-Step Breakdown of the Technique
Step 1: Shift Your State
Before this technique can work, you must exit the conscious, thinking mind. That means shifting out of high-frequency beta brainwaves and into alpha or theta brainwave states, where subconscious access is possible.
To do this, we begin with a breath technique we call the Activating or Accelerating Breath.
It resembles holotropic breathwork: a double inhale, first into the belly, then into the chest—a full, powerful breath in—followed by a short, passive exhale that simply falls out of the body.
While breathing, you visualize the emotion, memory, or sensation not as you, but as a separate entity: a character, a personality, a teacher. Something to be dialogued with, not suppressed.
When done properly, the emotional charge becomes a lesson or insight, no longer a trauma.
Step 2: Brake the System
Once activation has peaked, we transition into a Braking Breath: a shorter inhale followed by a long, slow exhale—often with humming or toning (producing sound as the breath comes out to vibrate the body, head and neck).
This activates the vagus nerve, calms the amygdala (fear center of the brain), and initiates a shift into the parasympathetic state. You should feel softening. Spaciousness. Quiet.
Step 3: Enter the Observer and Dissolve the Self
From this relaxed state, shift to coherent breathing (6–8 seconds in and out), then begin to zoom out from your identity.
First: "I am not this body." Then: "I am not these thoughts or feelings." Then: "I am only the observer." Finally: "I am nothing."
From this space of nothingness, re-enter as your Future Self.
This is the version of you who already healed. Already transcended. Already chose.
From this vantage point, you revisit your past—not to relive it, but to remember it differently.
You go back to those emotional moments and see yourself responding differently. Feeling turned off instead of attached. Walking away instead of clinging. Laughing instead of aching.
And from this space, the subconscious reprograms.
You are no longer the victim of the story. You are the author of the new one.
Integration
You finish with these internal declarations:
"I remember when I used to believe that."
"I remember when I was stuck there."
"I remember the day everything shifted."
From here, return to your body. Anchor the message with a breath. A gesture. A word.
Why This Works
This isn’t fantasy. It’s not escapism. It’s based on the neurobiology of memory, identity, and quantum metaphor.
Just as particles in physics can be influenced by future states, your identity is not bound to the past. It is always in flux. Always being rewritten by what you observe, embody, and choose.
And when you enter a different brainwave, nervous system, and narrative state—you collapse into a different timeline.
This is retrocausal transformation. And it works.
But Is It Evidence-Based?
That depends on which part you’re asking about.
The idea of retrocausality influencing psychological states remains a speculative metaphor with no direct empirical support in neuroscience.
However, the mechanisms that make this practice effective are well-supported:
Memory reconsolidation is a validated process in which reactivated memories can be rewritten.
Brainwave modulation through breathing and meditation has been extensively studied.
Vagus nerve activation via extended exhalation and humming is a proven way to downshift sympathetic overdrive and access safety.
So no, we can’t prove retrocausality changes your past. But yes, we absolutely can prove that your brain, nervous system, and subconscious story structures can be reprogrammed.
And that’s what makes this work so powerful.
Because your future self isn’t waiting.
They’re already calling you forward.
PS: If you’re ready to experience this for yourself— To meet the version of you who already knows what to do, And to collapse the timelines keeping you stuck...
