[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I just watched the whole thing, and it's a meditation for a lifetime.

The metaphor about the ocean being the quantum field and the spray being manifestations of reality from the pool of potential is one I've used before in a somewhat different way. When sending a sympathy card to someone who lost a close sibling, I used it to describe how no one ever really dies, but each personality that emerges from "The One" is "like a droplet emerging from the ocean to dance in the sunlight atop the waves" for a while before returning to "The One," changed but not gone, with the certainty of reemerging in another time and place. It seemed to help at the time. I still love the metaphor for that context and the one in this video, using it to describe perceived reality emerging from the quantum field.

A number of people I know consider Buddhism something alien and anti-Christian, and their understanding of nirvana and "emptiness" is completely backwards, so I'm a little hesitant to send this to them. I want to stress Buddhism to them as a philosophy for describing reality instead of a religion. That might mitigate some of the bias against it, and I hope I can get them to watch.

This video does a wonderful job of clarifying the notions of emptiness and oneness, and every aspect of it is perfect in my opinion.

Must, must watch -- many times.

PS - Thanks for this wonderful find and for posting, it oxymoron!

A lotus for you, Buddha to be. _/l\_

My husband has a great understanding of quantum physics (something I've always struggled to wrap my head around). I'm excited to show this to him. I learned a lot. And as a person just exploring Buddhism it makes sense. Thanks for posting it.

I actually came across this video a few days before it was posted. The video and sound were well done.

The attempts to correlate physics and Eastern thought are not new. There have been several books that have attempted to bridge science and these philosophies. There have been interesting critiques and debates on the pros and cons of making these kinds of comparisons.

However, we can utilize this kind of perspective to note that there is another aspect of duality involved. The conceptual and the non-conceptual are a concept. Who knows?

The neon finger pointing at the lunar object seems to be about not being about that. The grasshoppers of perception quantum leap through the wavicles of form -as-emptiness signifying that, no matter what, and no matter what's the matter, this is it?

Everybody be well!

The message sent by our recent advancements in physical exploration is clear, we must ask the basic question that confronts all such endeavors, what next?
