Who better to explain the science of possession than last year’s runner-up on America’s Next Top Scientist — Dave Lupin. Dave, as everyone now knows, is both one heck of a scientist and a pretty nifty ballroom dancer too. In his book, The Quantum Soul, Dave explains how all of us — humans, animals, aliens, and even demons — are a symbiosis of two beings — the physical being and the spiritual being. The spiritual — what we commonly call the soul — lives inside, and animates, our physical being.
He likens the physical being to a car, and the spiritual being to the driver. And possession is like carrying a passenger who shares the driving. And occasionally takes the car out for a spin without telling you. And maybe ties you up and stuffs you in the trunk.
Of course those are the BAD demons. The GOOD demons will give your engine a tune, wash and wax your paintwork and detail the inside.
But how does any of that help you lose weight? Even after a wash and tune up, the car isn’t going to weigh much less.
Dave explains: The car analogy was but one dimension of a multi-dimensional answer. The body is a car, but, at the same time, it is also a giraffe.
Confused? I was, but I think this just shows Dave’s genius — we, as laymen and women, simply cannot conceive what Dave is talking about. But he WAS runner-up on America’s Next Top Scientist and danced the socks off that Nobel laureate in the dance floor challenge.
Back to the giraffe. Apparently it’s not just a giraffe, it’s a QUANTUM giraffe. That means, according to Dave, that sometimes it’s not a giraffe.
Here’s a transcript of a conversation I had with Dave on the subject:
BRICK: “So, Dave, What EXACTLY is a quantum giraffe?”
DAVE: “It’s the kind of giraffe that if you put it in a box, you wouldn’t know it was there.”
BRICK: “It’s a small giraffe?”
DAVE: “No, Brick, it’s a QUANTUM giraffe. Simply put, that means it’s the kind of giraffe that exists in two states.”
BRICK: “Like Texas and New Mexico?”
DAVE: “No, Brick. How can I put this? It’s alive but — at the same time — it might be dead, but no one knows — not even the giraffe — until someone opens the box.”
BRICK: “So it’s a kind of undead giraffe?”
DAVE: “It’s ALL kinds of giraffe and ... it’s only ONE kind of giraffe. It’s the kind of giraffe that has the potential to be anything — even an elephant — as long as no one’s looking. But as soon as someone sees it, the quantum state collapses, and the giraffe must choose what it wants to be.”
BRICK: “So, it’s a magical giraffe?”
DAVE: “In layman’s terms, it’s a PART TIME magical giraffe with the potential to be anything it wants, BUT ... once it chooses, that’s it. It’s no longer magical.”
BRICK: “Right ... What has that to do with possession and slimming?”
DAVE: “Everything. While you’re possessed, your car exists in two states. One with you as driver, and one with your demon as driver. It’s become a Quantum Car, which means it has the potential to be any damn car it wants. Even one of those little British two-seater sports cars.”
BRICK: “Wait, I think I’ve got this. If you want a slim car, you choose the two-seater sports model, and the exorcist collapses the quantum state?”
DAVE: “Almost. But, remember me saying that the car analogy was but one dimension of a multi-dimensional answer?”
BRICK: “I certainly do, Dave.”
DAVE: “Well, there’s another dimension. The body’s not only a car and an occasional giraffe. It’s also a color too.”
BRICK: “Wow ... Is that a cannabis plant on your windowsill, Dave?”
Do I understand all of Dave’s theories? Of course not. But I do know about cars and giraffes, and just how hard it is to become runner-up on America’s Next Top Scientist.
And the results from our clinical trials speak for themselves.
