After two decades of cross-referencing systematically collected observational data contributed by citizen scientists, followed by fundamental research and development, we have initiated “quantum social learning” or QSL, and its transdisciplinary framework, approach, and praxis called “inside out learning experience ecosystem” or IOLEE. QSL defines quantum (plural: quanta) as the most subtle aspect of human experience, qualia, which are individual instances of subjective, conscious experience as: particulates and fields of intuitions, thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. QSL’s interpretation of quantum theory orients towards studying these qualia; interoception attunes our language skills to those qualia that emerge from within, and social framing enables us to understand these qualia as the basis of intra-action (Karen Barad). This continuous orienting, attuning, and understanding, from the inside out, evolves learning to the realization that what we experience subjectively and objectively, past, present and future, is in superposition and thus simultaneously experienced. We gain an experiential understanding of, among other things, the fragmentation of time, entanglement, superposition, coherence; pervading through the permeable boundaries between the unconscious, subconscious, and conscious, and between what we experience subjectively and intersubjectively; and how the way we observe, dynamically structures our interpretation of reality. QSL’s framework introduces specificity, defining those aspects that we wish to evaluate, predict, and test. We regard testing as a continuous process that involves a self-reflexive, interoceptive, evaluative cross-referencing of anecdotal observational evidence, and scientific observation from multiple points-of-view. The objective is to evolve the learner’s capacity to restore the most natural inclusive flow.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire assessing an ongoing state of wakefulness, a psychological state occurring in secular and spiritual contexts. Wakefulness is an expansive, self-transcendent, relatively stable state of being in which a person’s perception of and relationship to the world are transformed. No such questionnaire with this specific aim and scope exists. Methods: Characteristics of wakefulness from prior research were transformed into statements and refined based on expert feedback and two pilot studies. In a first study, exploratory factor analyses (EFAs) were conducted with n = 278 English-speaking participants. Matched participants of this sample were compared with a group of awakened participants ( n = 24). In a second study, EFAs on the German-translated questionnaire were computed and correlated with other established measures ( n = 366 participants). Results: A unidimensional structure was found for the 19-item English Wakefulness Inventory, WAKE-19 and for the 16-item German WAKE-16. The scale is reliable with a significant difference between the general population and the group of awakened participants. Correlations with other measures indicate construct validity. Conclusions: This study provides further evidence for the existence of wakefulness as a state of being, distinct from the usual or ordinary state of adult waking consciousness and a valid and reliable instrument for future research.
