Karma and the Foundational Quantum Reality
Hello all.
From another thread in science & spirituality, I have looked at the parallels between 1) quantum mechanics and 2) karma and our individual and collective spiritual journeys. I wanted to put it out for review and consideration. I realised after no one responded (LOL) that perhaps the discussion of karma and multiple incarnations might not be accepted by many on the science thread. What are your thoughts or considerations or challenges to this perspective? Do you feel or apprehend if some or any of it might have some merit? I will also post some links for quick overviews if anyone wants to check them. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. Peace & blessings :hug3: 7L ---------------------------- Quote:

Also...if anyone is interested...
Here are some links which provide quick overviews, pretty good presentation really... I bolded those most central to the topic, and the best overall I think. ----------------------------------- PBS Space Time short vids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYkaahzFWfo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSFRN-ymfgE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tafGL02EUOA&t=693s quantum entanglement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-MNSLsjjdo 1 The Quantum Experiment that Broke Reality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ORLN_KwAgs 2 How the Quantum Eraser Rewrites the Past -------------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuvK-od647c&t=7s Quantum Entanglement & Spooky Action at a Distance TedX Talks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZzHnZzm_58 18 mins spooky quantum physics |
Here's another very recent post in response to someone regarding relationships and manifestation, to sum it up.
I was trying to convey the notion that karma is built into the very foundation of our reality, and that it cannot be abrogated. In exactly the same way, nor can your own or anyone else's free will be abrogated within our dimensional reality (i.e., the fabric of spacetime and also all higher dimensions and parallel realms). Because karma and consciousness exist outside of (or, surround and permeate) all of these manifest realities. Thus, core spiritual moments of growth or evolution, these core moments of lovingkindness and reconciliation...are beyond spacetime and will manifest in whatever reality regardless, unless they are attended with equanimity and lovingkindness. Likewise, the perpetration or residual transfer of unhealed karma from other times is also beyond spacetime and will manifest regardless. My more recent understanding is that some entanglement, too, is foundational...such as entanglement with Oneness or Isness. Most is not and is overlaid onto the foundational entanglement. And much of that overlay is the part that occurs within spacetime, allowing a place and time within which we incarnate and can work with our karma, however we've accrued it. Thanks in advance for your time and your thoughts. Peace & blessings :hug3: 7L --------------------- Quote:

Before I dive into the science. Not necessarily a fan.
Even though I am with the Buddha in terms of the 4 noble truths I have a different idea about how Karma and reincarnation come about. Karma to me is a simplified natural case of cause and effect. The way it spans multiple perceived lifetimes in my view is as follows. I belief that any intention caries within it the drive to fulfillment. So when an intention I make remains unfulfilled it remains somewhere in some crease of existence until it has been fulfilled or deconstructed/dissolved. Given the appearance that like attracts like. Someone resonating with the intention that floats around picks it up and somehow enters an agreement to help the intention fulfill itself. When tuning into that intention he or she may pick up a glimpse of the being (sort of a snapshot that goes along with the intention through the conservation of energy principle.) that intended the thing. So I view past lives not as my self past lives, but lives that intended something I am either to fulfill or dissolve during my lifetime. Does that make sense? With Love Eelco |
Hey there Cat :)
It does make sense, and I think that there is nothing contradictory in what either of us have said. In fact I really like the visualization or picture of your potential selves, which exist in the realm of possibility until you either decide to go down that route and manifest those selves... Or take a different choice and manifest that self in this now moment. Any of which become your current self, depending on your choices in each moment. If that also makes sense :smile: Peace & blessings :hug3: 7L |
I wonder if I can ask this a different way.
Does Buddhism have anything to say from the spiritual perspective about quantum reality...the centrality of consciousness to quantum mechanics, the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, etc? I feel there is probably loads of stuff but would require someone within the last century or so to have written things. Perhaps it's been more recent than that, too, perhaps much more recently. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or had read anything. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. Peace & blessing :hug3: 7L |

I found you OP very interesting 7L. Reading through the entanglements you listed, I found it fits my own perception as to how I understand this more so. I have never been one to focus Karma as such, only because for me the engagement of myself with all life around me, felt more like I was untangling, undoing, opening, where I am or where my reflection entered into, through all life where I am. I have always just been very conscious of "reflections" reflecting and opening me to notice myself and other life in some way. People often say to me, they are surprised by the depth of processing I go into to clear out the entanglements of life that meets me, activates me. I do understand it relates more to those on the mystical path of awakening. We tend to become partners with the Universe, instead of being separate from it, so all entanglements will resolve themselves with this deeper awareness of connection and belonging and understanding. Mystics tend to be facilitators of change so the underlying movements through "this awareness" of purification, means it moves as a supportive catalyst to oneness (more clear and purified), through the means of life itself. A more direct catalyst (with life itself) through ones own purification process. |
I'm pretty sure all we can know is what we are at a foundation level, uninhibited by thoughts of what we are and such. I am left after all these years with knowing only this, that at my core I am loving, caring and selfless.
I also know that there so much that I can't know. Karma, Souls, etc included but I am at peace with that. I hope this adds to your thread 7L. Have a great day! |

Naturesflow :hug3: I had forgotten to check here because I thought no one had noticed this thread. Thank you so much for your response. I am also glad you found my OP interesting to you personally. I feel very resonant with all you say, and with the underlying energy in your post. I agree completely with what I have bolded...I feel you are speaking straight from my own heart and mind. Peace & blessings :hug3: 7L |
