Metaphysics & Quantum Physics: Bridging the Gap
“Theology, philosophy, metaphysics, and quantum physics are merely ways for God to have his smart people believe in him” ~ Jeremy Aldana
Metaphysics
Metaphysics is described as being the philosophy or science about 'existence', and things that transcend the 'physical' or natural. Much of metaphysics is based on the question of the fundamental nature of being, the universe, reality vs illusion and other 'mysteries' of life.
Aristotle actually called the wisdom of metaphysics the 'first philosophy' as it deals with the primary cause and principles about things. Metaphysics asks questions such as how does the world exist and is it real, or a creation of our mind?
It has been said that Aristotle divided metaphysics into the following three branches:

Quantum Physics
Classical (Newtonian) Physics looks at how physical reality works, from a perspective greater than the sub-atomic level, ie: atoms, molecules and the finer processes of how they work.
It is the sub-atomic level where things change, and this is the realm and fascination of the science of Quantum Physics, coined by Max Born in 1924. The study of Quantum Mechanics or Quantum Field Theory has revealed that not only is matter made up of spinning vortexes of energy (beyond its physicality and appearance as matter) , but also that the very act of observing particles changes and creates things.
This kind of discovery has revolutionized our way of thinking about the mechanics of the world as well as our perception of 'reality'. It is much more involved than this, so I will be writing a number of articles over time elucidating upon the extraordinary finds that certainly challenge how we view reality and the material world.

Bridging the Gap Between the Two Worlds

The nature of reality and our existence has been questioned and explored over eons of time, and now, more so than ever, we are at a time on earth when we are starting to bridge the gap between ancient esoteric wisdom and science. Quantum theory has particularly played a large role in our understanding of our 'reality', the world, universe & greater cosmos - what it consists of and how it operates.

"I am convinced that theoretical physics is actual philosophy. It has revolutionized fundamental concepts, e.g., about space and time (relativity), about causality (quantum theory), and about substance and matter (atomistics), and it has taught us new methods of thinking (complementarity) which are applicable far beyond physics". ~ Max Born
Consciousness in relation to the nature of reality has also been studied by those in the field. It has been found that there is an undeniable correlation between human consciousness and physical reality:
“A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction.
Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote:
"The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.”
– R.C. Henry, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University

Spirit and science are finally (re)uniting, and even spiritual leaders in the public eye such as the Dalai Lama are noticing, drawing connections and commenting on it:
“Broadly speaking, although there are some differences, I think Buddhist philosophy and Quantum Mechanics can shake hands on their view of the world. We can see in these great examples the fruits of human thinking. Regardless of the admiration we feel for these great thinkers, we should not lose sight of the fact that they were human beings just as we are.” – Dalai Lama |

Articles on Metaphysics & Quantum Physics:
In this section of the website, I look at various findings from the science of quantum physics as they pertain to metaphysical subjects, such as: the nature of reality, reality and time as an illusion, atoms, vibration, matter, theories on the universe as being holographic, the black hole, galaxies, our brains, God / 'force' etc.
