I have recently read "The Dancing Wu Li Masters (An Overview of the New Physics)" by Gary Zukav, an incredible book that presents an overview of quantum mechanics in layman's terms. It is an eye-opener that affirms some of what I have been trying to say with my work "Jim's Guide to Enlightenment: The Complete Sutras", e.g. there appears to be a strong connection between portions of some Eastern religions and quantum physics.
For example: Sutra 3: See your reality for what it is, not for what you think it is: this is the first step to making your reality what you wish it to be.
Sutra 52: Multiple realities are a fact. A different reality exists for each of us. I am not the same in your reality as I am in mine.
Sutra 93: Do not speak to me of Reality: it is a personal concept that varies with the Observer.
Imagine my joy, then, upon reading the following passage:
"The languages of eastern mystics and western physicists are becoming very similar.
Newtonian physics and quantum mechanics are partners in a double irony. Newtonian physics is based upon the idea of laws which govern phenomena and the power inherent in understanding them, but it leads to impotence in the face of a Great Machine which is the universe. Quantum mechanics is based upon the idea of minimal knowledge of future phenomena (we are limited to knowing probabilities) but it leads to the possibility that our reality is what we choose to make it." (Bolded italics are mine)
It is a joyous occasion when one discovers that conclusions that are reached after a lifetime of reading and observation have simultaneously and separately been reached by others.
Peace, and
Namaste
