Abstract

In the article, the authors, based on the latest achievements of transpersonal and quantum psychology andmodern non-classical physics, reveal Parallels that were once noted not only by the great physicists of thetwentieth century, starting with Einstein, but also by other physicists and the twenty-first century. Interestin analogies between the ideas of modern science and the ideas of Eastern wisdom is also caused by thefact that a number of major discoveries of quantum-relativistic physics, psychology, and other Sciences, astime has shown, can not be explained within the framework of the traditional Newtonian-Cartesian model ofthe world, which was based on materialistic philosophy. Moreover, it was revealed that quantum relativisticphysics and relativity theory are based on a worldview very similar to that of a Hindu, Buddhist, or Taoist.This similarity is especially enhanced if the two theories are combined to explain the phenomena of themicroscopic world: the properties and interactions of the elementary particles that make up all substance(matter). Here, the Parallels between modern physics and Eastern mysticism are not only noticeable, butsometimes it is almost impossible to distinguish whether they are made by physicists or Eastern mystics.

The New Vision of Reality: Parallels between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism

Fritjof Capra

I am a physicist, and my main interest over the past fifteen years has been in the dramatic change of concepts and ideas that has occurred in physics during the first three decades of the century. These are still being elaborated in our current theories of matter. The new concepts in physics have brought about a profound change in our world view: from the mechanistic world view of Descartes and Newton to a holistic and

MODERN PHYSICS AND EASTERN MYSTICISM

Fritjof Capra

Twentieth-century physics has had a profound influence on general philosophical thought, because it has revealed an unsuspected limitation of classical ideas and has necessitated a radical revision of many of our basic concepts. The concept of matter in subatomic physics, for example, is totally different from the traditional material substance of classical physics, and the same is true for concepts like space, time, or causality. These concepts, however, are fundamental to our outlook on the world around us, and with their radical transformation our whole world view has begun to change.

Metaphysical unity of transcendental psychology and quantum mechanics. Part 1

Нагдян Рубен Михайлович

Since the beginning of the XXI st century, there has been a process of intense convergence and interpenetration of two seemingly opposing sciences – quantum mechanics and psychology. In accordance with it, the question arises about a common methodological foundation for these sciences. The article shows that the “first philosophy” of Aristotle can serve as a general philosophical methodology for these sciences. In the context of the metaphysical triad necessarypossible-real, the “intersection points” of A. I. Mirakyan’s transcendental psychology and A. Yu. Sevalnikov’s interpretation of quantum mechanics. The article examines the features of the formation of a new direction in modern psychology, which studies the problem of mental phenomena generation. At the same time, a comparison is made with the transcendentalism of Descartes, in which its limitations and incompleteness are revealed. It is shown that both in transcendental psychology and in quantum mechanics (W. Heisenberg) epistemological problems arise associated with the impossibility of using the language of their classical predecessors. In both sciences, it becomes necessary to apply a new language, a new way of thinking and a new logic of understanding the phenomena under study. All this allows us to conclude that both in transcendental psychology and in quantum mechanics, researchers are dealing with a new ontology of reality that differs from the reality studied in classical physics and in the phenomenology of classical psychology. The article substantiates that the main methodological reason limiting the possibilities of carrying out theoretical studies of deeper layers of reality is the use of the product (physical) approach. The product approach is based on the language used to describe the observed reality. It became necessary to divide reality into observable and unobservable. In the language of metaphysics of modalities, this is translated as «being in possibility» and «being in reality.» One of the “intersection points” of quantum mechanics and transcendental psychology is the category ofpossibility, in which the essence of reality is expressed, which both disciplines compared in this article seek to describe and explain

Epilogue: No “Marketplace”

Sadri Hassani

Quantum physics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. Often in this context, the word “modern” is misused as an antonym of “classical.” The abstract and mathematical nature of both quantum and relativity theories makes them easy target for abuse in the hands of the purveyors of mysticism. We shall see some detailed examples of the abuse of quantum theory in Chapter 35. It will be shown there how New Age authors misrepresent quantum physics to their readers and use some twisted interpretation of the theory to advocate a parallel between quantum physics and Eastern mysticism.

PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECTS OF COMPARISONS OF QUANTUM PHYSICS WITH BUDDHIST ONTOLOGY

I.S. Urbanaeva

The article highlights those discoveries of quantum physics, the philosophical understanding of which leads researchers to compare its ontology with Buddhist ontology. These are phenomena that reveal the subjectivism of physics. Thus, the discovery of the fundamental role of the observer for quantum mechanical processes and the collapse of the wave function became a «bridge» for the rapprochement of quantum mechanics and Buddhist philosophy, which asserts the relative nature of reality. The phenomenon of quantum non-locality or the plurality of parallel worlds became another basis for seeing the similarity of quantum physics and Buddhism. The idea of universal interdependence, characteristic of relational interpretations of quantum physics, also contributes to strengthening the idea of its similarity with Buddhist ontology. However, as the analysis of two representative comparative approaches shows – one developed by W. Mansfield from the side of physics, and the other developed by A. A. Terentyev from the side of Buddhism – the general tendency to compare the ontology of quantum physics and Buddhism is based on the incorrect reduction of Buddhist ontology to the doctrine of dependent origination and the wrongful identification of emptiness with dependent origination. Although the perception of Buddhist ontology as «Indra’s net» serves for comparativists from the side of physics, as well as for a wide circle of intellectuals, as the first step towards understanding the closeness of Buddhist philosophy to modern science, nevertheless, such popular interpretations are not entirely correct.

Crisis of the split psyche

Karan P. Singh

ihe outstanding feature of the last decade of the twentieth century is likely to be the final collapse of the materialistic paradigm that has dominated the world for many centuries. This model, .JL. which may be called the Cartesian-Newtonian-Marxist, postulated on an ultimate dualism built into the very texture of matter, has been proved by the latest advances in particle physics and extra galactic cosmology to be inadequate. Consequently the materialistic philosophies based upon that view can also be seen to have failed. Under the impact of post-Einsteinian physics, quantum mechanics, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and many other conceptual revolutions, the old structures have begun to crumble. 'Solid matter' dissolves into waves of probability, and the new physics seems to be approaching the mystic vision of which seers and sages of all traditions have spoken, down through the centuries. Consciousness now emerges not as an epi-phenomenon of matter but as the more fundamental factor in our perception of the universe around us.
