Quantum University: A Scientific Collective Consensus!
by Dr. Paul Drouin
One of the major sources of resistance I met on my medical journey, when integrating diverse modal-ities of healing into my practice, was the notion that these modalities were not based on science and were not taught in Western medical universities for that reason.
When I started to look more closely at these arguments, I realized, like many others, that what we define as science is relative. I also became aware that our choices of scientific perspective as a society have most often been associated with socio-political interests.
The pretense of being objective and scientific has nothing to do with actually being objective and scientific. In fact, how scientists, philosophers, and theologians have experienced and described reality has evolved over time and will be forever changing. But we have to recognize that throughout the centuries, our universities have been seen as the sacred places where new scientific paradigms are consecrated and eventually accepted by society.
If we wish to integrate new approaches of healing and address the core of modern medicine, we must first address the problem by looking at how our societies and our universities define the consensus of what should be the standard model of science.
The problem is that the actual medical model of science is outdated. Our basic understanding of the human being is still caught in a dichotomistic perception of mind and body, related to a deterministic concept of biology, where there is no option for spontaneous evolution, since the concept of survival of the fittest slaves your health’s destiny to your genes. Quantum physics reanimates the old materialistic point of view with a new breath that deepens the perspective of human reality.
Conventional medicine, to date, has been definitively based on the linear and materialistic point of view of the upward causation model. This has resulted in a model of healing where the only legitimate therapies are pharmaceuticals, surgery, and other physical therapies. Therefore, anything that could be related to as subtle energy (prana, ch’i, vital force) could not be scientifically justified as a valid approach to healing within this model. This is as simple as it gets. Even today, no matter how many studies are published on the benefits of complementary medical approaches, they will continue to be disregarded because their fundamental basis is not a materialistic one.
In the domain of medicine, we are facing a crossroads. We are using an outdated model of science that can only support conventional Western modalities of healing, the costs of which are exorbitant and unsustainable.

Conventional medicine continues to face challenges concerning the understanding and effective treatment of chronic disease. We can’t deny the progress of a symptomatic approach, but studies have shown that chronic diseases consume the majority of the healthcare budget. Seventy-six percent of Medicare spending is on patients with one of five or more chronic diseases (Swartz 2010).
Based on an outdated model of medical and natural education, the problematic high cost of health care will stay out of reach for even the richest nations, unless we shift our perspective from a disease-oriented model to one that is based on achieving optimum health and full potentiality.
A linear, materialistic, scientific model cannot grasp these concepts. This is not about just adding extra vitamins to the consumer’s shopping basket, but radically transforming our views on healing.
Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Coming from a background of experience with both social and privatized healthcare systems, I am convinced that simply adjusting socio-political methods for delivery is not enough to solve the current healthcare crisis.
Einstein’s challenging new perspective of reality has revolutionized our society in the last 50 years. It’s time that we welcome the same applications in our approach to health care.
According to Wikipedia: The original Latin word “universitas” refers in general to “a number of persons associated into one body, a society… etc.” At the time of the emergence of urban town life and medieval guilds, specialized “associations of students and teachers with collective legal rights usually guaranteed by charters issued by princes, prelates, or the towns in which they were located” came to be denominated by this general term.”
It is interesting to see that the idea of “university” emerged from a collective consensus that defined the standards of science based upon the prevailing beliefs at the time. Today, conventional universities are not keeping pace with the collective consciousness consensus that is emerging from advancements in quantum physics.
Interestingly, Quantum University has created a favorable environment for renowned teachers and students to rally around these new paradigms. The Internet has allowed the gathering of thousands of individuals, in more than 50 countries, around respected world teachers in the domain of quantum physics and how it can be applied to medicine.
A new model of University is now emerging, one that can adapt to the constantly-evolving model of science: Quantum University.
Another important phenomenon on my journey of evolution from a linear medical model to a multidimensional model of healing was not just to broaden my toolbox with extra modalities of healing, but to radically transform my relationship with the client from one where I was caught in a fatalistic perspective (diagnostic), with no other outcome in addressing the symptoms, to one of a greater awareness. This evolution of consciousness made possible many results—from spontaneous remissions to personal growth—within an environment that acknowledged the subjectivity as well as the objectivity of the experience.
By addressing the healthcare problem at its source, meaning broadening our understanding of human realty accordingly to the standards of a multi-dimensional scientific model, the cost of healing will become an affordable universal possibility for all nations.
