A New Synthesis

My E-Prime Day

I remember feeling like I woke up from a dream, and then experienced myself biting an apple, first thing in the morning, enjoying what tasted like delicious crunchy sweetness. I then remember calling my best girlfriend on the phone. After communicating with Tracy, I stretched out into various yoga positions and performed what felt to be a powerful self-healing on my ovaries and uterus. I felt myself lie down and vocalize various Buddhist and Hindu mantras. I experienced stuffing myself with cereal and almond milk, putting on clothes, and going shopping for pillows and clothes at Thrift Town. By the time I got home, the sun appeared to be gone. I walked to the Chinese restaurant in seemingly close proximity to my house, then walked home and studied the rest of the night before falling asleep.

Can I synthesize East and West?

There are many findings from Quantum Physics that confirm Eastern mystical wisdom. Quantum physics confirms this ancient Buddhist gem of wisdom: “Everything is empty.” If you look at an atom, you can see that most of the atom is composed of empty space. The portion of space occupied by actual sub-atomic particles is actually very small. If you were able to bunch up all of these sub-atomic into one space- somehow getting rid of all the empty space- you could fit all the sub-atomic matter that composes the human body onto the head of a pin.

After studying years of body-mind and mystical practices such as yoga, chi gong, and meditation, many practitioners developed what are called “siddhis.” Siddhis are a fancy way of saying “metaphysical superpowers.” Some practitioners are able to perform telekinesis- moving things with their minds. Knowing that the observed changes according to the expectation of the observer and knowing that most of all matter is space, it seems natural that matter would accordingly adjust themselves to our thoughts. Since matter is also composed of so little actual physical material, it seems like something like thought could easily influence space that most matter is made of and that the physical matter would be an easy shoe along. If one can merely suspend their belief system of a world of concrete and material reality not directly influenced by thought, then we might see physical matter defying laws of so-called reality.
