+OverSword Posted November 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2019 A friend occasionally forwards me an email that he subscribes to. I thought this one a bit interesting. Quote The Field of Love Thursday, November 7, 2019 The physical phenomenon of quantum entanglement is a wonderful illustration of the interconnected nature of reality, both spiritual and material. Allow me to try to explain in layperson’s terms: In quantum physics, it appears that one particle of any entangled pair “knows” what is happening to another paired particle—even though there is no known means for such information to be communicated between the particles, which are separated by sometimes very large distances. [1] Perhaps we could compare this to phenomena such as bilocation, mental telepathy, providence, or synchronicity. Most people of faith, however, have credited such frequent happenings to angels, the intervention of saints, or God, which is honestly as good a way to talk about these things as any—except this makes them exceptional, supernatural, or one-time anomalies instead of the implanted norm. Non-believers might ignore or deny such things or call them mere “accidents” or chance. All we seem to know is that “we” did not do this by any of our contrivances. It just “happened” by seemingly unseen or chaotic forces. Read the rest here 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the rest here I like that article. "We should all be instruments of peace" what beautiful sentiment. The quantum mechanics mixed in with it is utter nonsense though. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people like to have science back up the 'features' of religions or beliefs. If quantum theory and the way it works does explain what mystics have been saying for thousands of years, then why not relate one to the other? What makes it utter nonsense in your opinion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could have related the two better than...... The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not of the Upanishads only. The mystical experience of the union with God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the way. Erwin Schrodinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted December 19, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Great, quantum woo. Can I get a side order of Chopra to go with that? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Schrodinger The Upanishads are some interesting texts, but I personally don't think they really apply here. The followers of these texts lived alone like Hermits never allowing any entanglements to occur quantum or other wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrodinger was of course eminent in the field of quantum physics, and the comment appears to suggest those texts agreed with his conclusion.

Our ego, being built on distinction, is very resistant to the idea that the "multiplicity is only apparent" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for one the Author clearly doesn't understand what entanglement actually is. There is nothing spiritual about it,......all you gotta do is observe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
