The Quantum View of Realization (Quantum Enlightenment)

Описание: A. H. Almaas challenges the prevailing non-dualistic view of realization when it considers dualistic experience as due to the individual’s delusion of separateness. By challenging this ancient and common view that the ordinary world is an illusion, he takes us to a wider view of reality, a view that recognizes nondual realization as only one way enlightenment can happen. He uses the language of quantum theory to present a view of reality that is more mysterious and indeterminate than either duality or non-duality. Our ordinary world is also acknowledged as real, but not as the only way reality can be. A new kind of freedom becomes possible, which is the freedom of view, not just of experience.

Presentation from a teaching Almaas has given at an all school retreat Asilomar, August 2017

The key idea of the video is that realizing the interconnectedness of all things and recognizing the limitations of our perceived reality can lead to liberation, freedom, and a deeper understanding of the true nature of existence.

00:00 ♦ The first turning of realization involves learning about our issues and patterns, discovering presence, and recognizing ourselves as a timeless presence that expresses itself in the everyday world, while the non-dual perspective reveals the true nature of interconnectedness and the belief in separate individuals and discrete objects as a mistaken view of reality.
12:09 ♦ Humans mistakenly believe that the physical world is separate from the vast ocean of light and goodness, diminishing the true nature of reality and leading to a limited and deluded existence.
19:20 ♦ The speaker explores the obscuring power of concepts on the pure goodness of enlightenment, discusses skepticism in the scientific community, delusion of perceived reality, and the contradiction between separate beings and unified beingness.
29:09 ♦ Practice is essential for liberation, with different perspectives on realization including non-dual interconnectedness and personal evolution, but the speaker emphasizes the importance of a third view to understand how the mind can transform the universe.
35:46 ♦ Reality can be perceived and experienced in both dualistic and non-dualistic ways, and recognizing this allows for freedom and manifestation in various perspectives and manifestations of reality.
41:40 ♦ Enlightenment is the realization that everything is awakened, experienced differently by individuals through non-dualism or presence, allowing freedom and timelessness in the ordinary world, with the metaphor of quantum theory explaining how total being manifests reality differently for each person.
49:21 ♦ Reality is fluid and can be perceived in multiple ways, with the quantum view of realization emphasizing the importance of all aspects of being and the practice of inquiry into one's truth, leading to liberation and freedom.
56:18 ♦ By realizing that our thoughts are just one way of seeing reality, we can find freedom from suffering and explore different perspectives to experience the full spectrum of reality.

The scientific atomistic view, that our experience is only a matter of neuronal firings and messages—and its reflection in our naive normal belief that inner events are discrete happenings in a vacuum—is actually not tenable in the view of our contemporary science. Quantum field theory, and quantum theory in general, understands all physical phenomena as basically wave phenomena, as perturbations of a field, a unified fabric of excitations. This scientific view indicates that it is more accurate to think of our body basically as a field of some sort, and hence all its inner events as perturbations or waves in such field." - A. H. Almaas, The Inner Journey Home, Notes

"We are not implying that consciousness is the actual wave side of particles. We are not adopting the complementarity principle of quantum theory, and asserting that the wave side is consciousness. We are using the complementarity principle as a metaphor, which we apply to understand the gross perception of matter, as our physical bodies and other physical objects are observable with our physical senses. We use this metaphor to illustrate our understanding that our perception of such physical objects is due to a certain type of observation, and that if we adopt a different mode of observation, that of witnessing from the perspective of the spiritual ground of the soul, we will see this matter as a medium of consciousness, as particular forms within a field of sensitivity." - A. H. Almaas, The Inner Journey Home, Notes
