QUANTUM'S BIG PICTURE is a fifteen minute prologue to a full-length solo-play in the works.
Scene I: Doctor Sal is late in arriving to her physics 101 class after a long night at the ER with a patient who had a Near-Death Experience. Finding that occurrence distinctly unusual, and worthy of further investigation, she shares it with her college students, spontaneously enacting her patient's graphically perceived descriptions. Suddenly the mystery of the nature of consciousness is laid-out on the table for an open exploration with relation to the laws of quantum physics. Astounded by the obvious alignments between quantum's spooky behavior and the strange mechanisms consciousness demonstrated during her patient's NDE, doctor Sal addresses each fundamental corresponding law with eager trepidation.

During these seismic shifting times, tech has encouraged quantum physics to work out its mysterious processes, persistently developing copious artificial intelligence functions for restructuring our new world with man-made machine beings, but all the while, classical orthodox science feels challenged to recognize that these same unfamiliar and counterintuitive potentialities are actually the prominent underlying foundation for all reality, the nexus of our existence, and our very consciousness.
Dr. Sal discovers the urgent impulse to imagine quantum physics as unlocking the door to our own inner most intelligent awareness. Suddenly she wonders: what if we don't embark on this path to self-knowing? We then won't keep pace, in lock step with the machine, and we won't transcend it. Technology's mind blowing advances which are already outdoing us, could probably overtake us, and eclipse our own conscious evolution. Was this NDE a fortunate happenstance? Dr. Sal senses a new understanding based on the laws of physics, and if applied to consciousness will it revolutionize life as we know it? Technology is forcing us to admit that we know very little, and yet readily make use of quantum's advantages for quantum computing purposes, and material gain, but what about our being benefitting? and our existence surviving and thriving? Or will we become ignorant slaves to the machine? Quantum could also be alerting us to reflect on it as the basis for consciousness, without having anything to do with religion, and all to do with the science of who we are, beyond the material realm.
Dr. Sal is now delving into deep waters that could rattle the status quo, while too excited to even notice. She explores with her students, because for her, it's all about the mathematical equations of proven set of theories succinctly explaining the phenomena of that Near Death Experience that she was unintentionally privy to.
According to the laws of physics, what you place your attention on is illumined, and becomes alive. So if I place my attention on my consciousness, will I illumine my essential nature, and realize my super-intelligent awareness? Will I realize that, I AM?
