The Quantum Mind, Concepts of Consciousness

This book presents the scientific information and esoteric knowledge that may enable a properly equipped individual to attain unique abilities through the utilization of consciousness in a manner enabling a person to observe or manipulate a physical system without direct physical presence or interaction. Recommended for high-intermediate or advanced students. "Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms, for consciousness is absolutely fundamental. Quantum physics reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Multiplicity is only apparent; in truth, there is only one mind." —Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Laureate "The only acceptable point of view is the one that recognizes both sides of reality—the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the psychical—as compatible with each other, and can embrace them simultaneously. It would be most satisfactory of all if physis and psyche (matter and mind) could be seen as complementary aspects of precisely the same reality." —Wolfgang Pauli, Nobel Laureate "The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness." —Yogananda (A.D. 1893-1952) Remarkable advancements in scientific research have provided new windows into consciousness and its powers. Since the development of quantum mechanics in the first part of the 20th century, progress has been made to understand consciousness and its "paranormal" abilities on the basis of the concepts of quantum physics. The quantum world builds the classical world. Everything in our classical, macroscopic world is composed of microscopic units of energy—the quanta—acting in unison. Consciousness and its various mental abilities are part of that quantum physical universe.…
