Quantum Physics and Soul Consciousness


Quantum Consciousness is based on the concept that all things are interrelated and can affect each other at speeds greater than the speed of light. 

Observer effect:  There is no phenomenon until it is observed (an observer is required to interact with an object in order for events to occur). This effect is known as the ‘Observer Effect’.  It means that before anything can manifest in the physical universe it must first be observed. An observation therefore cannot occur without the pre-existence of some sort of consciousness to do the observing. The Observer Effect clearly implies that the physical Universe is the direct result of ‘consciousness’. 

This notion has a striking resemblance to perennial esoteric theory which asserts that all phenomena are the result of the consciousness of a single over lighting Creative Principle or the Mind of God.

Everything - matter, us and the universe - is simply a result of wave structure in space. Chandogya Upanishad talks about this void in details. (Chapter XII — the Birth of the Gross from the Subtle)

There is a delicious irony in all this. Contemporary Western scientific theory postulates that human consciousness is solely a result of the workings of a physical brain, yet if the observer effect is correct, the physical matter comprising a brain cannot come into existence until it is the subject of observation by some pre-existing consciousness.

Rumi has a famous poem on this subject “we came whirling out of nothingness scattering stars like dust, the stars made a circle and in the middle we dance. The wheel of heaven, with all its pomp and splendour, circles around God like a mill.”

The illusion of continuity: The whole universe looks like it is made up of matter but actually is nothing but void with Brahman as the base. Also everything which looks like a continuity actually has discontinuity. A running movie has no continuity; it is only a rapid sequential screening of still frames. The earth looks stationary but actually is a moving structure. Each and every cell in the body looks stationary but actually has a spinning base. Thoughts have no continuity; the space between the thoughts is the reality.

In this discontinuity (between the thoughts) lies the consciousness with infinite possibilities and capability of instantaneous interconnectedness, synchronicity, uncertainty and quantum leap.

EPR effect: In 1935, three physicists, Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen said that non local interactions between objects had to exist. They challenged the existing theory of relativity and quantum mechanics; this is called Einstein-Podolosky-Rosen (EPR) paradox. Many experiments have shown that a non local correlation between objects indeed occurs once these objects have interacted. There is now evidence that EPR correlation occurs between human brains.

Non- local correlation (nonlocal behavior" or colloquially as "quantum weirdness") means everything is connected with everything else irrespective of distance and time. This connection is instantaneous. It has no communication mode. The phenomenon cannot be explained by routine physics as nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. 

Every particle in every star and galaxy that we can see “knows” about the existence of every other particle. (Gribbin,1984).

Quantum leap: Now here, now there in between nowhere. A quantum leap is a leap from A to B, without passing through any of the points between A and B.


Heisenberg principle of uncertainty:  It is not possible to simultaneously determine the position and momentum of a particle. Moreover, the better the position is known, the less well the momentum is known (and vice versa). A consequence of the Qunatum Mechanical nature of the world is that the particles can appear in places where they have no right to be. (Source one of the talks of Deepak Chopra])
