Dear m. e.b,
Thank you for the additional info.

I am curious about this Quantum Buddhism... because to me it sounds like " Scientific Buddhism" -

Or, may be that Buddhism is into a new posture & getting involved in what you say as " the worldview in quantum communication process.."
Certainly, I will have a look, and its interesting. Thank you once again... abnizar

To Abnizar!
Thank you for your kind notes. I found another book that looks interesting, though I have not read it. The review indicates that it is about your interests.

Dear m.e.b.
I am ever so thankfull for your guide in answer to my inquiry, on this subject which interests me a great deal.
From the information given by you, I would have a good start to surf in the Internet, and see where I could go from there.
If I find any topic that needs your " expertise " there, I hope I could revert to your goodself. Many thanks for your assistance, God bless...Abnizar

Dear m.e.b,
No, I just posted yesterday, I live in Kuala Lumpur.
Its wonderfull that you have suggested the broad outline for me to surf, and follow through from there.
But I truly appreciate your initial comments, which triggered my further interest to delve into this quantum field, seeing that you have the broad perspective on the subject. Once I find the source/s, I may refer to your goodself for anything I may have in mind. Thank you so much, Abnizar

To ABNIZAR!
I just saw your message – I don’t know how long ago you posted it: ‘I write this rather belatedly to express my deep appreciation when you posted a comment about “Quantum Theory...” I shall be gratefull if you would guide me to some Refrences materials that I can lay my hands on, and where.’

Regretfully, I don’t have references on this subject, but the main focus of my comment was based on a published academic book by Asghar T. Minai mentioned at the end of my comment. I don’t know if his book is available in bookstores. If not, you may be able to find it in a library (have a librarian search through InterLibrary Loan to see if they can locate a copy for you to borrow; however, I don’t know where you live so you may not have access to this service). Google his name and you’ll see several sites on him: he is a professor at Howard Univ. in Washington DC, as well as has his own architectural firm. Somewhere on one of those sites should be an email address, or other way of contacting him. Perhaps he himself has copies of his book that you could purchase. If he does, the bibliography will probably list everything we could ever imagine! If you are able to contact Dr. Minai personally he should also be able to suggest good ideas and references for you to follow.

Other possibilities are two videos about the quantum world (though from different angles): ‘What the Bleep Do We Know’, and ‘The Elegant Universe’ by Brian Green? The Elegant Universe is (I think) a NOVA production on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service in America) out of WGBH in Boston. Google these names to get websites and follow from there. You may be able to watch The Elegant Universe online.

These videos feature a number of scientists who think along quantum lines – interesting stuff! The credits at the end lists all of their names. Each of these videos, names of scientists, etc, can be googled to start leads. Wikipedia might have a lot of information on quantum theory from all kinds of angles.

Good luck! I wish I could be of better help!

Dear Sadiq,

Thank you for this interesting post. I like science, and I like Khalil Jibran who said:

"Science without the saving grace of beauty and compassion is a dead issue."

Kindest wishes,

James Souttar, and, m. e b.,

To begin with, I am indeed grateful for your remarkable responses, and by the sheer depth of your exposition, not only would I hold with esteem, but also with humility accept the invaluable contents, which in many areas I must admit my own inadequacy... yes, I would still be learning...

The other area I was thinking of on the Theory of Organic Evolution, which used to be based on mutative changes, over long period of time by the process of natural selection and adaptation to new environment, was " fortuitous " - a random happening by chance with no " extraneous factors or interference ".. etc.

Although I must admit in partiality about the fact of evolution happening which fits into the Darwinian concept ( because we do see some" proof " for example the "flightless" commorant - with shortened wings - the result of remoteness of the Galapagos island, I find it exciting to the spiritualist, there is a now a " shift " to THE THEORY OF INTELLIGENT CREATION ( ie not random or chance happening ) - implying of course that a Supremely " Intelligent " entity " that has a hand in The Whole Grand Design..albeit Unseen.- The Science of Genetics unveiling, with energy contents in the Chromosomes, also indicate this " spirituality" in the latest book - The Language of God, meaning, to me, a " return" to God-head...

Reverting to the point of language difficulty in the Ineffable sequences of Reality, not just that. Right here in a our physical reality,itself, we can only " say " - bitter, sweet, hot etc " , agreed, all of humanity would " know" because all of us have tasted them, one way or another because it is simply " know " - but just supposing we want to " describe " these to an alien whose existence on another planet depended solely on " energy" sustenance, could we described in words these " bitter-sweet-sour :
thing, as to HOW they taste? I bet no Scientist has ever been able to do these in human language, let alone scientific....

The principal logos of most ‘Arifs and Sufis, and the theme of this book, is focused on the notion of ishq - love. Ishq is not what we ordinarily refer to as ‘love’ but is the Essence of Being, which Rumi found to be the basis for the whole of existence. [Meher Baba says the same thing]. The concept, which Rumi uses to free man from any dogma, religion, or belonging, has been used in association with a contingent world by both Khayyam and Rumi. ... By looking to the heart, you are also focusing on something other than the mind, which is valued for its consciousness and intellect. Most ‘Arifs and Sufis, especially Rumi, want you to focus in a subconscious, altered state of consciousness and intuition. That is to experience your world by presence, by tacit knowing, and gnosis, and by transcendental being. By looking to the heart and not to the intellect (which is a kind of autonomous platonic-objective world) you are focusing on the being - which is directly connected to the total Being at the quantum level.

Exciting post Abnizar! Here are a couple of things to add to your:

“For, not only Spirituality, through esotoric knowledge that leads to the highest stage of God-consciousness, but also "evidence" is emerging in the Sciences to the effect that through the domain of Quantum Physics/Quantum Mechanics - at their minutest level right down to the indivisible particles of Energy, Atoms & the sub-atomic particles, - is the "gate-way" or "door-way" into "spirituality".”

Quantum Theory as a Proposed Worldview Bridging Matter and Mind

The modern Western worldview in its origin, namely the Cartesian and Newtonian worldviews, created a split between man and his mental / spiritual and physical natures. The Eastern view, including ‘Irfan and Sufism, take the inner as more real as more important, and see the outer as the projection and derivative of ideas, concepts, ideologies, and worldviews, which start from within.

However, in recent years a new quantum worldview has emerged. This started at the Copenhagen conference after a debate between realists led by Einstein, and the opposition led by Bohr advocating for quantum mechanics. Bohr and his school won the debate that began the roots of this new worldview [and] has given momentum to Eastern philosophies that emphasize the unity of Being and a holistic approach to the fragmented world we described earlier. This new worldview seems to be capable of tying all of the loose ends. It shows that the extreme poles of recent history can all be described with a single theory, [i.e.] human consciousness on one hand and social phenomenon on the other, emerge both through quantum communication processes.

This new worldview encompasses the whole world and the major theories of contemporary physics, namely quantum mechanics, theory of relativity, and the theory of evolution. [It] “transcends the dichotomy between mind and body, or between inner and outer, by showing us that the basic building blocks of mind (bosons) and the basic building blocks of matter (fermions) arise out of a common quantum substance (the vacuum) and are engaged in a mutually creative dialogue whose roots can be traced back to the very heart of reality creation.” What makes both the Eastern philosophies (including ‘Irfan and Sufism) stand out now, as an alternative to the existing trend, is their compatibility with the quantum communication worldview.
