For a long time, science and spirituality were
considered to be opposing views, creating this polarization of both subjects.
You were either a “Man of God” or a “Man of Science,” with no middle ground.
However, we’re now observing a merging of both science and spirituality through
quantum physics and the study of consciousness, shattering old thought patterns
and putting an end to the previous “tug of war” between the two subjects.
Quantum physics is verifying what Buddhists
and other spiritual practitioners have been saying for years, helping people to
accept their inherent spiritual nature all around the world. We are
fundamentally connected to everything around us, and science is finally proving
that. Nevertheless, there’s still a lingering dualistic air surrounding science
and spirituality: You have religious people denying scientific facts and
scientists identifying themselves as self-proclaimed Atheists. However, we’re
simultaneously seeing a merging of the two, and it’s truly beautiful.
Many prominent religious figures and
scientists have recognized the interconnectedness between spirituality and the
scientific community, including the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama has spoken out on
numerous occasions about the similarities between quantum physics and
spirituality. In fact, he even attended a conference on quantum physics and
delivered a speech on the subject.
Later he said: “I hope conferences like this
can address two purposes: extending our knowledge and improving our view of
reality so we can better tackle our disturbing emotions,” he stated: “Early in
my lifetime, science was employed to further material and economic development.
Later in the 20th century, scientists began to see that peace of mind is
important for physical health and well-being. As a result of combining warm-heartedness with
intelligence, I hope we’ll be better equipped to contribute to humanity’s
well-being.”
What Exactly Is Quantum Physics?
Quantum physicists discovered that physical
atoms are made up of vortices of energy that are constantly spinning and
vibrating, each one radiating its own unique energy signature. Therefore, if we
really want to observe ourselves and find out what we are, we must recognize we
are really beings of energy and vibration, radiating our own unique energy
signature.
If we observe the composition of an atom with
a microscope, we would see a small, invisible tornado-like vortex, with a
number of infinitely small energy vortices called quarks and photons. These are
what make up the structure of the atom. If we focused in closer on the
structure of the atom, we would see nothing, a literal void. The atom has no
physical structure, thus we have no physical structure, and physical things
really don’t have any physical structure! Atoms are made out of invisible
energy, not tangible matter.
From this, scientists have made all sorts of
discoveries, including that we create our own realities.
An example is the Effect that describes the relationship
between sub-atomic particles and the observer. Through multiple experiments,
Quantum Physics has shown that subatomic particles appear to exist only as a
wave of probabilities until they are observed, at which time they collapse into
a single place in time.
Therefore the observer effect states that
there is no reality until that reality is perceived. This profound insight
tells us that we alter every object in the world simply by paying attention to
it. If we are unhappy with a certain experience in our life, we can choose to
steer our focus toward something else that is aligned with our own positive
expectations.
