holy cannoli this is the best shit, thank you, consistently really great reading, i'm your biggest fan, etc. I've also really been feeling a little iffy whenever an occult author brings up quantum mechanics or tries to tie in to the like, appeal to authority in the form of science/scientism. Your take is opening up the questions more clearly for me, and specifically tying the creation of photons to Ain Soph Aur is a really beautiful line of thought, thank you.
I'd like to point you toward my pet favorite science writer, C.K. Raju - I'm working my way slowly through the 11 Pictures of Time right now. It's aimed a little less at the lay reader than I might like but he takes pains to be as clear as possible - he focuses more on the history side but has a lot to say about how ideas that are seen as religious by the West are inextricably tied to the development of science, while academia likes to blind itself by means of 'objectivity' to its (religious) cosmological views inherited from Augustine. I'm just aching to talk about it with anybody if that catches your interest sometime!
One last question: "Because matter interacts with the zero point field, causing waves and thus wave interference, there is an imprint of every thing that has happened, will happen or is happening" - Just curious about this 'imprint', do you happen to have any further reading to point me to? Should I just pick up The Field?
I know, I was so hesitant to write about this topic, because while I obviously think there is something to it, the field is inundated with people trying to sell you a quantum consciousness course or some other such new age grift. I'm so glad you enjoyed it though and I will definitely look into C.K. Raju. That's what I liked about the Field, it gives you lots and lots of studies that were done by scientists who began very objectively but the data led them to realize there was more to our universe than can be explained by what we understand as materiality today. I think you start to see the cracks in that worldview when you see that pharmaceutical companies are now patenting placebo treatments, and they actually do work!
As far as your question on the wave interference, I remember hearing it in the book so I went to try to find the source for it, and the author gives the following passage:
One of the most important aspects of waves is that they are encoders
and carriers of information. When two waves are in phase, and overlap
each other – technically called ‘interference’ – the combined amplitude of
the waves is greater than each individual amplitude. The signal gets
stronger. This amounts to an imprinting or exchange of information, called
‘constructive interference’. If one is peaking when the other is troughing,
they tend to cancel each other out – a process called ‘destructive interference’. Once they’ve collided, each wave contains information, in the form
of energy coding, about the other, including all the other information it
contains. Interference patterns amount to a constant accumulation of
information, and waves have a virtually infinite capacity for storage.
If all subatomic matter in the world is interacting constantly with this
ambient ground-state energy field, the subatomic waves of The Field are
constantly imprinting a record of the shape of everything. As the harbinger
and imprinter of all wavelengths and all frequencies, the Zero Point Field
is a kind of shadow of the universe for all time, a mirror image and record
of everything that ever was. In a sense, the vacuum is the beginning and
the end of everything in the universe.
That passage ends in a source, but she references individual conversations with Hal Puttoff. Here is the actual citation, hopefully this will help:
Various conversations with Hal Puthoff, 2000 and 2001; also H. Puthoff, ‘On the
relationship of quantum energy research to the role of metaphysical processes in
Yay! I hope you find interesting things in Dr. Raju's work. I had to dig a little to find pdfs, but they're out there. Can help with that if needed.
I like the way The Field sounds, coming from the angle of starting with the studies and just like looking at the questions being implied, etc. Thanks again for sharing! I certainly found the results fascinating!
Thank you very much for the explanation! I can't find that paper, but the passage was helpful. I still don't fully wrap my head around it, aha, but helpful!
