A quantum leap is defined as a giant leap forward, or any sudden and significant change, advance, or increase. In physics may be the result of a burst of light. We speak figuratively of a ‘light going on in our head’ in those “Aha” moments when something suddenly becomes clear. Rapid scientific advancement has been made in the past two centuries, to a great extent, as a result of our discovery of how light works and how to use it. Rather than flickering lights that occasionally pops on in our heads to spark a clear thought, perhaps through discipline we can learn to keep the light on for longer periods of time.
Can you remember the last time you had an “Aha” moment? Can you remember the last time you had a leap in your life caused by a clear understanding of what you should do? Perhaps it is time for a ‘head’ light checkup. Maybe the bulb needs cleaning. Is your dimmer switch turned down? Maybe we just need more training as to how to use our light. We must know when to use the dimmer switch, when to use the bright lights, when to use the light of others, and when to use the natural light.
If we are going to be disciplined for success, we must learn the discipline of light control. As we learn how to let our light shine, we may begin to see quantum leaps in understanding much more frequently. Just as light dispels darkness, as we make quantum leaps in knowledge and understanding, we dispel ignorance. God has given each of us a light, and what could trigger a quantum jump in our world and the universe more than our lights shining at greater strength and capacity? Lights on! It’s time to leap!
