Download or read book Roots of Metaphysics and Quantum Physics written by Charles Deturk and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume in a Series entitled "Journeys in Consciousness," a compilation of the extensive writings and transcriptions from the life of Charles DeTurk. They are all brought up-to-date and placed in a contemporary context with extensive commentary. In the process of sharing these writings we have a record of how a single individual, driven by curiosity, grows in understanding the wisdom and functioning of life and the universe of experience. In a day and age when we hear a lot about how people need to learn to "think outside of the box," Charles has been living a large part of his life outside of the box. And from that place of awareness, he has gathered together, over the years, some very interesting, meaningful, and insightful perspectives upon life and upon all of this stuff out here that we call reality. His goal, for decades, has been to discover ideas and principles that will help people to be able to rediscover the truths about who and what they truly are, and to thereby allow them to live more happy, healthy, successful and fulfilling lives. "Roots of Metaphysics and Quantum Physics" starts with what began as a single short essay on metaphysics and quantum physics that quickly grew into an eight part series. These are ideas that are coming more and more to the fore in our lives and consciousness as increasing numbers of people become aware, through the discoveries of science, the veracity of ancient spiritual truths. What's more, this book, not only examines a whole host of ideas, but it delves into explaining how they specifically affect our individual lives in very profound ways. There's an interview that Charles conducts with Major Domo, one of the many expressions of himself. The reader gets many glimpses into the thinking that transpires as Charles, and others, investigate how to incorporate new ideas into processes that integrate with old systems. There is a revealing chapter from Charles' mother, Rev. Bette DeTurk, that was discovered after her passing. Then there are the first five parts of a 27-part course on the second chapter of Deepak Chopra's book, "Creating Affluence." This is followed by a 3-part presentation in response to the events of 911. Finally the book wraps up with several topic-specific chapters before concluding with a final take on the book's title. And it all concludes with an "aha" that actually occurred as the final paragraphs were being written. Charles presents his information in a conversational way as though he was right there next to the reader. And he does it all with an understandable ease that will give one new insights about their life and ways to improve it. What he has to share is a comfortable mix of ageless metaphysics, cutting edge quantum physics, and practical ways of applying these engagingly compatible principles to one's own life. For the bottom liners out there, you will enjoy this book while learning something new in the process. The future titles in the "Journeys In Consciousness" Series will include "Secular Issues And Spiritual Perspectives," "Beginning Explorations In Consciousness," and "Presidential Marathon." Keep a high watch, for Charles plans to have them all published by Summer 2011. Once this Series is completely published, Charles will begin concentrating upon his long-awaited book, "Millennium Paradigm: Explorations in the Dynamics of Consciousness." That book will be his attempt to take everything that he has learned and explain how to use these insights in solving a wide range of challenges, all the way from individual on-on-one relationship issues to topics like energy, housing, healthcare, global relations, practical applications of spiritual truths, peace, education, environmental relations, and the big one - the world economy. The books in the "Journeys In Consciousness" Series are all designed as preparation for "Millennium Paradigm."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dancing in the Dark: The Waltz in Wonder of Quantum Metaphysics, Dr. Ronald Keast examines the exciting and spooky scientific theories about the fundamental nature of reality and truth that have been proposed by the revolutionary science of quantum mechanics. These quantum theories, which are at the leading edge of contemporary science, propose that at the most elementary, sub-atomic levelthat which underlies and is the foundation of our world, our universe, all that isreality is radically uncertain. The certainties of science, which, for all practical purposes, replaced those of religion over two hundred years ago in the West, have been undermined and shown to be, at best, inadequate, at worst, erroneousas have those of common sense. This has profound metaphysical, philosophical, even theological, not to say scientific, implications. It means that we do not, and probably cannot, know what reality and truth are, that we are all dancing in the dark; dancing with faith of one kind or another. Written for a general audience, Dancing in the Dark introduces some of these theories, connects them to their metaphysical and philosophical roots in the West, and to their mystical roots in the East, and emphasizes the value of learning about themthe value and the joy of uncertainty.
Download or read book Quantum Philosophy written by Richard Yegian and published by Richard Yegian via PublishDrive. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No complicated math in this book! Lots of critical thinking with a new wrinkle. The author analyzes WHY physicists like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking explain the universe using quantum theory. What is quantum theory? How do we perceive? How is causality flawed? How is reverse time possible? How does language processing happen? How do we understand? How does pattern recognition play a role in perception? What is reality? How does the arrow theory of time make assumptions that time flows in only one direction? How does reverse time travel happen in multidimensional spacetime? The latest explanations come from quantum physics. What is quantum physics? How did quantum physics evolve? How does quantum thinking affect our thoughts? The author bridges the disparity between quantum physics and religion by discussing snippets of logical reasoning offering insight into how both pursuits may coexist. There is no consensus on the origin of life nor the goal of life. How has quantum physics displaced but not replaced religion? What will be the role of religion in the future? The author approaches the elusive issues in a piecemeal way using anecdotes from his own experiences and everyday life. In this quick read, he offers insight into the joys of reasoning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eurasian Philosophy and Quantum Metaphysics (Theology Reconsidered) By: Juan Valdez The science of our modern age is able to neither address nor solve our current global problems. Author Juan Valdez believes we should study humanity’s ancient wisdom and philosophy texts to develop a new intellectual paradigm that can respond and support our current needs. Eurasian Philosophy and Quantum Metaphysics (Theology Reconsidered) is an in-depth study of the origins and meanings of ancient philosophies before they were fractured into mythology and religions and attacked by modern science. Beginning with creation mythology in Eurasia through the development of philosophical thought, to the Scientific Revolution to our own modern Quantum Era, the progression – and abandonment – of ancient wisdom is carefully studied. Valdez reviews and analyzes the ancient texts themselves to understand what they truly say and not what later historians have said about them. The Indo-Aryan Vedas, the Torah, Rene Descartes’ Discourse on the Method and Principles of Philosophy, Neils Bohr’s Atomic Theory, and more, are all respectfully and critically assessed. As enlightened as we may consider ourselves, Valdez calls attention to how limited modern thought has become. By reviewing past wisdom, we can not only rediscover the roots of modern thought but place Wisdom itself at the top of intellectual pursuits. Eurasian Philosophy and Quantum Metaphysics (Theology Reconsidered) is a rich and nuanced study on how humanity has thought of itself.
Download or read book Determinism and Free Will written by Fabio Scardigli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this small book, theoretical physicist Gerard 't Hooft (Nobel prize 1999), philosopher Emanuele Severino (Lincei Academician), and theologian Piero Coda (Pontifical Lateran University) confront one another on a topic that lies at the roots of quantum mechanics and at the origin of Western thought: Determinism and Free Will. "God does not play dice" said Einstein, a tenacious determinist. Quantum Mechanics and its clash with General Relativity have reanimated ancient dilemmas about chance and necessity: Is Nature deterministic? Is Man free? The “free-will theorem” by Conway and Kochen, and the deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics proposed by 't Hooft, revive such philosophical questions in modern Physics. Is Becoming real? Is the Elementary Event a product of the Case? The cyclopean clash between Heraclitus and Parmenides has entered a new episode, as evidenced by the essays in this volume.
Download or read book Why Does What Exists Exist Some Hypotheses on the Ultimate Why Question written by Mariano L. Bianca and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of current cosmology, physical theories, ancient cosmogonies, theologies, and metaphysics poses three main questions: Why is there something rather than nothing? Why does being take many forms? What is the origin of everything? Many different answers have been given in various different fields to these questions. In theological, creationist metaphysics, the only answer is the existence of a creator who has given rise not only to everything, but also to the laws that govern existence. Non-theological metaphysics, instead, has engaged in the determination of some first principles (archái), from which derives the reality in its various forms. Science, for a long time, evaded these questions, focusing instead on particular aspects of reality by formulating explanations of natural phenomena. In the course of their current development, physics (including quantum theory) and cosmology have posed questions concerning the origin of the whole universe and the reasons for its existence. They believe it is possible to formulate a theory of everything, just as metaphysical cosmologists and theologians thought. The papers collected in this volume offer interesting contributions to the debates surrounding this ultimate “why” question.
Download or read book The Origins of Science written by Ernest H. Hutten and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-09 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1962 The Origins of Science tries to explain scientific thought from its historical and psychological origins. The depth of psychology of today rather than traditional epistemology is needed in order to understand the problems of knowledge. Reality is the first problem of the scientist; it is exemplified by the idea of object, or of matter. The development of this idea from its Greek beginnings is traced and the unconscious mechanisms that underlie our thought processes -of abstraction, generalisation, etc.- are made manifest. The second problem is that of truth; it is illustrated by examples from the history of mathematics and of logic. Again, the ‘psychology’ of what we accept as truth is made explicit. Scientific method is the intellectual safeguard for the criteria of truth and reality. Instead of traditional induction, the creative view of scientific activity must be accepted. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of philosophy of science and philosophy in general.
Download or read book The Nature of Contingency written by Alastair Wilson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends a radical new theory of contingency as a physical phenomenon. Drawing on the many-worlds approach to quantum theory and cutting-edge metaphysics and philosophy of science, it argues that quantum theories are best understood as telling us about the space of genuine possibilities, rather than as telling us solely about actuality. When quantum physics is taken seriously in the way first proposed by Hugh Everett III, it provides the resources for a new systematic metaphysical framework encompassing possibility, necessity, actuality, chance, counterfactuals, and a host of related modal notions. Rationalist metaphysicians argue that the metaphysics of modality is strictly prior to any scientific investigation; metaphysics establishes which worlds are possible, and physics merely checks which of these worlds is actual. Naturalistic metaphysicians respond that science may discover new possibilities and new impossibilities. This book's quantum theory of contingency takes naturalistic metaphysics one step further, allowing that science may discover what it is to be possible. As electromagnetism revealed the nature of light, as acoustics revealed the nature of sound, as statistical mechanics revealed the nature of heat, so quantum physics reveals the nature of contingency.
Download or read book The Quantum Gods written by Jeff Love and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneath the facade of the ego, beyond the ability of the mind to conceive of it, yet within reach of everyone through direct personal experience, there is a God-like Self, the authentic "I AM" or the Quantum God or Goddess. From the perspective of a Quantum God, life is a co-created reality made of consciousness and a special condition of consciousness called matter. Matter is the medium; being is the message. You and I are the Quantum Gods. The book features: A profusely illustrated introduction to the classical Kabbalah and its Tree of Life "The Creative Law," a practical, seven-step process of creative visualization. It was discovered by applying Kabbalistic principles to decipher the code hidden in the first book of the Old Testament mistakenly entitled Genesis. It is how the Quantum Gods co-create reality. "Psychometaphysics," a radical metaphysical model of reality in the form of a commentary on Kabbalah which relates the scientific view of the world to personal experience "The Enlightenment Intensive," a method of self-inquiry discovered in 1968. It is a Zen-like method utilizing both contemplation and communication to discover first hand the true nature of Self and Life from one's own direct personal experience
Download or read book The Unconscious Quantum written by Victor J. Stenger and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating and accessible book, physicist Victor J. Stenger guides the lay reader through the key developments of quantum mechanics and the debate over its apparent paradoxes. In the process, he critically appraises recent metaphysical fads popularized by such authors as Deepak Chopra and Fritjof Capra. Dr. Stenger's knack for elucidating scientific ideas and controversies in language that the nonspecialist can comprehend opens up to the widest possible audience a wealth of information on the most important findings of contemporary physics. Stenger makes it clear that current scientific hypotheses about the material nature of reality are all we need to explain the available evidence and that mystical notions say more about the human need to believe than about the fundamental makeup of the universe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tum of the Tide During centuries physicists were supposed to be studying the physical world. Since the turn of the century this assumption has often been challenged as naive: it was proclaimed that physics is not about the external world but about observers and their manipUlations: that it is meaningless to talk of anything else than observation devices and opera tions: that the laws of physics concern our knowledge rather than the external world. This view of the nature of physical science has old roots in philo sophy but it was independently reinvented by a number of philosophi cally inclined physicists, notably ERNST MACH. These scientists were disgusted with the school philosophies and they were alarmed by the increasing number of physical concepts which they regarded as meta physical or beyond experimental control, such as those of absolute motion, ether, electromagnetic field, and molecule. Reasonably enough, they wished to keep physics testable. To accomplish this goal they adopted the safe method, namely to banish every idea that could not be closely tied to observation. In this way they certainly avoided the risks of untestable speculation but they also failed to enjoy the benefits of theoretical invention. Furthermore they instituted unawares a new meta physics that was to dominate the philosophy of physics for half a century: the metaphysics according to which the world is made of sense experience.
Download or read book Nature Loves to Hide written by Shimon Malin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-08 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strangeness of modern physics has sparked several popular books--such as The Tao of Physics--that explore its affinity with Eastern mysticism. But the founders of quantum mechanics were educated in the classical traditions of Western civilization and Western philosophy. In Nature Loves to Hide, physicist Shimon Malin takes readers on a fascinating tour of quantum theory--one that turns to Western philosophical thought to clarify this strange yet inescapable explanation of reality. Malin translates quantum mechanics into plain English, explaining its origins and workings against the backdrop of the famous debate between Niels Bohr and the skeptical Albert Einstein. Then he moves on to build a philosophical framework that can account for the quantum nature of reality. He shows, for instance, how Platonic and Neoplatonic thought resonates with quantum theory. He draws out the linkage between the concepts of Neoplatonism and the more recent process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. The universe, Whitehead wrote, is an organic whole, composed not of lifeless objects, but "elementary experiences." Beginning with Whitehead's insight, Malin shows how this concept of "throbs of experience" expresses quantum reality, with its subatomic uncertainties, its constituents that are waves and also particles, its emphasis on acts of measurement. Once any educated person could explain the universe as a vast Newtonian web of cause and effect, but since quantum theory, reality again appears to be richer and more mysterious than we had thought. Writing with broad humanistic insight and deep knowledge of science, and using delightful conversations with fictional astronauts Peter and Julie to explain more difficult concepts, Shimon Malin offers a profound new understanding of the nature of reality--one that shows a deep continuity with aspects of our Western philosophical tradition going back 2500 years, and that feels more deeply satisfying, and truer, than the clockwork universe of Newton.
Download or read book From Physics to Metaphysics written by Michael Redhead and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is drawn from the Tarner lectures, delivered in Cambridge in 1993. It is concerned with the ultimate nature of reality, and how this is revealed by modern physical theories such as relativity and quantum theory. The objectivity and rationality of science are defended against the views of relativists and social constructionists. It is claimed that modern physics gives us a tentative and fallible, but nevertheless rational, approach to the nature of physical reality. The role of subjectivity in science is examined in the fields of relativity theory, statistical mechanics and quantum theory, and recent claims of an essential role for human consciousness in physics are rejected. Prospects for a 'Theory of Everything' are considered, and the related question of how to assess scientific progress is carefully examined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery of the universe is fascinating and stimulates our curiosity. Over the centuries, humanity has embarked on a journey of discovery in search of answers about its origin, the workings of the cosmos, and the nature of reality itself. Quantum physics, one of the most revolutionary scientific disciplines of our time, has shed new light on the understanding of the universe and opened the door to the concept of a holographic universe. This book explores in depth the revolutionary vision that all reality can be represented as a three-dimensional image projected onto a two-dimensional surface. The various visions of the holographic universe developed throughout history are analyzed, highlighting the discoveries, theories and significant quotes from scholars and scientists who have contributed to this understanding. This book pushes us to consider the bold idea that all of reality may be an intricate interplay of information and challenges the very foundations of our understanding in the fields of physics and cosmology. In the various chapters, the ideas of geniuses such as David Bohm, Stephen Hawking and many other famous physicists and philosophers, who contributed significantly to the development of the theory of the holographic universe, are exposed and commented on. From historical context to the latest scientific research, each chapter offers a complete and in-depth overview of the different facets of this revolutionary theory. The reader encounters concepts such as black hole thermodynamics, string theory, the geometry of holographic space-time, and fundamental principles of information. Everything is explained in a simple and understandable way, without any use of mathematical formulas or algorithms. "On the trail of the holographic universe" is an invitation to look beyond our traditional limits of perception and to explore the hidden depths that underlie the reality in which we live. Any science enthusiast, committed scholar or simply curious thirsty for knowledge will be accompanied through a fascinating and evocative journey into the heart of holographic ideas. The author is an expert in disseminating topics related to quantum metaphysics. This allows him to present objectively and in a simple and understandable style the knowledge gained over a decade of studies, which has already led to the publication of numerous books and various contributions.
