Wants and needs are very similar, but their difference is critical.
🌌 When we understand the difference between wants and needs, we can tap into a state of “quantum magnetism” where opportunities flow to us without effort.
⛰️ When we confuse **our wants and needs, however, we activate the “uncertainty principle,” which can interrupt our quantum flow and make life more challenging.
In this newsletter, we will explore the difference between wants and needs, the science behind the Law of Attraction, and 4 practices to help us sail downstream in the universal currents of energy.
Understanding Wants vs. Needs
Needs are things like water, food, shelter — elements necessary for our survival.
Wants are things like people, places and objects — elements that are fun, but not necessary for survival.
Wants are amazing — they make us unique.
But problems can arise when we start needing our wants. I need this person to love me. I need this new job.
At the end of the day, we do not need anything. The fact that we are here, reading this newsletter, proves that we have what we need to live a vibrant life.
This perspective can not only change our internal state, but it can change the behavior of the physical world around us…
The Quantum Science of Wanting
Have you noticed how, when you allow things to unfold naturally, everything seems to fall into place?
And have you noticed how, when you start expecting certain things to happen by a certain time, it can create stress, pressure, and problems?
This is not a coincidence — these experiences can be explained by the mathematical laws of quantum mechanics.

However, when we try to manipulate the universe to do certain things, we “collapse the wave function,” and atoms lose all of their quantum energy. (Source)
🧲 In other words, when we remain open and allow the universe to do its thing, we can flow with the universe and all the magic that it brings.
But when we tell the universe what to do, we literally block its flow of energy, and things begin to fall apart.
The most valuable things you're ever gonna learn in life is that the moment you force something, you actually kill the quantum magnetism.
Quantum Magnetism: The Updated Law of Attraction
The uncertainty principle highlights a new approach we can take to manifest our dreams and desires.
💭 Many people practice the Law of Attraction, which typically involves setting goals, visualizing these goals, and imagining what it will feel like when you reach these goals.
📍 However, these visualizations can be very specific — specific cars, specific houses, and specific people — which is another form of telling the universe what to do.
🤍 Instead of actively manifesting specific things, what if we spent this time practicing openness to whatever the universe is bringing us in each moment?
This is known as Quantum Magnetism — the practice of allowing things to flow to us in divine time.
The table below highlights more differences between the Law of Attraction and Quantum Magnetism
| Law of Attraction | Quantum Magnetism |
|---|---|
| Active process of telling the universe what to give us | Passive process of allowing the universe to give us what we need in each moment |
| Driven by the human that has lived for 20-80 years | Driven by the universe that has been around for +14 billion years |
| Gives us what we want but don’t always need (people, places, things) | Gives us what need but don’t always want (lessons, learnings, experiences) |
| Disrupts the flow of the universe | Is the flow of the universe |
3 Ways to Practice Quantum Magnetism
🕊️ With Your Wants: Practice Non-Attachment.
Quantum Magnetism does not mean “don’t strive.” Continue to set goals. Continue to work hard to achieve them. But let go of the need for them to happen in a certain way by a certain time.
❤️ With Your Needs: Practice Gratitude.
Take a moment to acknowledge that you are alive. Your lungs are breathing and your heart is beating. As long as this is true, you have everything you need to live a happy life.
Bonus Practice: The 90-second rule. Next time you are upset, spend 90 seconds listing all the things you are grateful for. This will quickly shift the focus from what you are missing to what you already have.
🌊 With the Universe: Practice Acceptance
Being aligned with the universe does not mean we are free from disturbances. Sometimes the universe will take us for a ride so we can learn a lesson. During these experiences, try holding an energy of openness — resisting life’s challenges is only going to make them more difficult.

Amplify These Practices: Activation Station
Consider amplifying these practices with “Activations” from Activation Station.
⚡ Activations are energetic lessons you can download from the quantum field.
The “Crimson” Activation is designed to help us remember that heaven is a state of consciousness.
It does this by highlighting the things that are taking us away from our ever-available state of inner peace.
These lessons are silent and often come in the form of a mental picture, past memory, or “aha moment.”
🔎 If this feels aligned, you can explore Crimson and other activations using this link.
Happy Exploring
Thank you for reading this weeks edition of the VST Newsletter. We hope this information helps you better ride the energetic waves of the world around us.
