It seems when traditional scientific inquiry fails to provide an explanation for a phenomenon that Buddhism or 'New Age' thinking seems to take its place. Why is this?
these are some notes I compiled that I need to organize:
it's interesting to draw parallel's from quantum physics and apply it to the mind
for example, in classical physics we see that dualism has a place and function. so we base our cognitive schemas on this.
but recently, quantum physics has discovered that at the subatomic world, things like superposition (one thing being in two places at once) is possible. and i think the mind might work on those principles
and this is where the study of non dualism comes in
those are culturally created
consciousness is nothing without culture
i think consciousness made its nest in culture
language brought us out of our inner prison.
before language it was a solipsistic world.
there was no symbolic exchanging of thought to be able to confirm with the outside world that any other being was experience any type of sentience
