The Universe as a Wave Function?

Matter, then, has dual properties. Is both Particle and Wave. The Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics ( Copenhagen is the place where Niels Bohr came from )in 1927 accepted the dual properties of the Electron !

Does that mean that the ocean of Matter which we see around us, is only solid, particle like?

Or does that mean it is only Wave like ?

The De Broglie Hypothesis and the Shroedinger Wave Equation says that Matter has both properties – it has wave like properties and at the same time it has particle like properties !

If Matter be Truth or Reality, will we not pray to Matter thus

O Matter ! thou art both Particle and Wave !

The ancient Seer-Poets spoke the same mystic language, the language of Transcendental Physics !

Thou art Being, which turns into Becoming but is always other than its Becomings,

Thou art the Indeterminate, which teems with mutations and differntiae

Thou art the Universal, who individualises itself
Thou art the Individual, who universalises itself

Thou art the One, which turns into an innumerable multitude

Reality and Unrealty, both are Thee !

I desire nothing from Thee
I desire only Thee !

O Electron, Thou Art a Particle and a Wave !

How will a quantum physicist address the Electron ?

O Electron ! Thou art a Particle; Thou art a Wave !

A mystic wrote

Thou Art Time; Timeless also Thou art !
Thou Art Space and all that is in Space !
Thou Art Causality and the Cause and the Effect !

The quantum physicist tells the mystic about the amazing discoveries of the New Physics ! The mystic is not surprised. That truth he has been talking for years ! Kanada, the mystic, the Seer-Poet defined Him as Atom ! ( Anurithi bhagavan )

Thou Art Absolute Being; Karma also Thou art
Thou art the Atom; Also Time Inexhaustible
The Cause of the Universe Thou art !
The Self of the transcendentalist
Nature of the natural philosophers
The Summum Genus of the logicians
The gold of the miser
The love of the lover
The empire of the king
The Scientific Mystery of the scholar
The Poetics of the noble hearted
The Nihil of the atheist
The Unknown of the agnostic
The Cosmic Consciousness of the Seer
Thou art the Highest Principle !

Quantum Physics talks mystic language !

The quintessence of the De Broglie Hypothesis , that Matter has dual properties, wave and particle properties, was taken up by Erwin Schroedinger. Electrons are standing waves ! The Electron is both a particle and a wave.

Modern Physics therefore has reached Transcendental Physics or the philosophia prima which used a dual language when it described Absolute Reality.

The Absolute is Being
The Absolute is Becoming
The Absolute is Non Being

How can the Absolute be both Being and Non Being? The first definition of Absolute is that which is non relative; the latter definition includes the relative. When we say Absolute Being, we are talking about an Absolute which takes relativity in its embrace !

The Seer-Poets of the Vedas , used a mystic language when they described the Absolute

The One Thou Art; the Many also Thou Art

The Absolute Self was defined as subtler than the subtlest and greater than the greatest. ( Anor aneeyan and Mahato Maheeyan ).

The Seer Poets extolled Absolute Truth thus

Our mother Thou art; also our Father
Thou art our close relative; also our beloved consort !
Thou art Wisdom, Thou art also Wealth
Thou art our all in all, O Beloved Divine!

Pauli’s Exclusion Principle

Wolfgang Pauli revolutionised Physics with his statement ” that no two similar electrons can exist in the same atom”.

This came to be known as the Pauli’s Exclusion Principle. One electron excludes any similar electron.

In the heavens, we find that the Solar System is like the Atom. The electrons revolve in elliptical orbits around the central nucleus. Similarly the planets traverse in elliptical orbits around the central Sun. ” As Above, So Below” !

Kepler in his first Law of Planetary Motion opined that planets move in elliptical orbits with Sun as the Focus of the Ellipse !

If you extend the Exclusion Principle, we find that in the Solar system, no two planets are alike ! Jupiter differs from Mercury and so on !

He shook the foundations of Physics !


Werner Heisenberg, postulated the famous Uncertainity Principle. He postulated that we can never know what goes on in the invisible subatomic realm and that ” therefore we should abandon all attempts to construct perpetual levels of atomic processes”.

Independently of Schroedinger and De Broglie, Heisenberg developed experimental data into tabular form, which he called matrices. His method was called Matrix Mathematics.

The quintessence of his theory is sample. The course of a single electron cannot be predicted and is uncertain. Newtonian Physics do not apply to the subatomic realm. Quantum Theory can predict the distribution ( probable ) with a beam of electrons, but Quantum Theory cannot predict the course of a single electron !

The earlier idea of the causal Universe is totally undermined by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

Niels Bohr, another New Physicist, wrote

Quantum Mechanics, entails, the necessity of a final renunciation of the classical idea of causality, with a radical revision of our attitude towards the problem of physical reality

Physics and Philosophy

The quantum physicist, David Bohm defined Reality as ” That which Is”

This is reminiscent of Spinoza and the Indian Seers who averred ” Absolute Being is that which Is”.

When De Broglie postulated that the electron is both a particle and a wave, the New Physics ( Quantum Physics ) was speaking the language of the mystics !

Is Man good-bad ? Yes, says Mysticism. Man is a composite creature. He is both good and bad, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and all human beings are dual personalities. Man is a contradiction ! Man is a paradox. Like the Electron, which is both a particle and a wave.

Shroedinger opined that electrons are standing Waves!

Heisenberg, another quantum physicist, opined that the highest levels of philosophy and physics are the same, in his magnum opus ” Physics and Philosophy”.

Matter, a derivative of Consciousness

” Matter is a derivative of Consciousness ” said Prof De Broglie. “I regard Consciousness as fundamental” said Prof Erwin Schroedinger.

Truth is that, on the subatomic level, Science is not exact ! The Old Physics of Newton does not apply to the subatomic realm. The New Physics states that electrons are standing waves and Matter exhibits two properties – that of a particle and a Wave. Prof Shroedinger was sure that electrons are standing waves. Something was standing and he called it the Psi function or rather the Wave Function.

There is no such thing as Space and Time, as Newton thought. There is only an inseparable SpaceTime and we live in a four dimensional Space-Time Continuum. Fritjof Capra had voiced the same truth earlier. The dance of sub atomic matter, the galaxies, the black holes and of the Universe is Poetry in motion, is the Cosmic Dance & is symbolised in Oriental Philosophies as the Dance of Siva, the Lord of the Dancers worshipped by the Indians !

.

The Four Dimensional Space-Time Continuum

Like Capra’s “Tao of Physics”, Gary Zukav’s ” Dancing Wu Li Masters” shook the philosophic world.
It is called the overview of the New Physics. The Old Physics was Newtonian Physics which maintained that Space and Time are separate.
Einstein differed from Newton. Space and Time are not separate, they are one whole called Space-Time.
Old classical Physics of Newton gave way to the New Physics, that is Quantum Physics. De Broglie’s Matter_Wave Hypothesis postulated that Matter exists as both Particle and Wave. The fourth Dimension of Time was added to the three dimesions of Space, that is length, breadth and thickness.
Hermann Minnowski, the maths teacher of Einstein, postulated the theory of the Four Dimensional Space-Time Continuum. We live, breathe and exist in the four dimensional Space-Time Continuum, which is an Eternal Now.
This recent finding of the New Physics is the corroboration of Eastern Philosophies, which maintained that the Unified Field of Consciousness is the only Reality and that the Universe is a Universe of appearance.

Why Blogs are Beating out Ezines and Matter so much to your platform

by Suzanne Falter-Barns www.getknownnow.com

I was all set this morning to write about something totally different in this issue … but thanks to the power of blogs, I’m here to deliver a totally different message. Namely the ascendance of blogs over ezines.

First of all, you may notice that you’re not getting a whole lot of issues of this ezine from me. Why? Because I’ve come to understand that blogging is faster. It’s more immediate. It’s got a wonderful airstream of energy that follows each post. And because it’s less formal, it’s less work — but still communicates just as effectively as an ezine … perhaps even more so.

This point was made wonderfully clear for me just this morning by Stacy Brice, who runs the noteworthy VA training program, AssistU. Stacy sent up a very thoughtful comment to my ‘Painless Self Promo’ blog, under the header ‘The Future of the Ezine’. Which led to an email, which led to a lengthy ph�ne call. Stacy and I had a real heart to heart about this ezine vs. blog thing … and here’s what I’ve decided is the state of things at the moment.

1. We’re in a transitional shift from ezines to blogs. This has mostly to do with people being reluctant to give up old comfy ways for a few minutes of learning new technology, downloading RSS desktop applications, etc.. It was like this just before we traded in vinyl for CD’s, telepathy for cell phones and to-do lists for Palm Pilots. And some of us have nev�r moved forward. Those of us who did are pretty happy.

2. Blog technology has finally leapt up to the plate. It’s happening; it’s here; it’s on the cover of Business Week. Blogs can no longer be dismissed as fringe techie territory. They’ve gotten so easy to use, and read, that there is simply no denying them. Blog creation software du jour is typepad and wordpress. Typepad blogs exist on their website for a small monthly fee.
WordPress blogs exist on your own site for fr�e. Typepad’s more elegant. WordPress is more basic and functional. I’m running a test to see which will eventually work better for me.

3. It’s no longer all about the list. I am still an advocate of ezines, but I believe the list/email connection is rapidly unraveling. My own lists have declined in size as have those of every Net marketer I know. Ezines have peaked and crested in their usefulness and appeal. Meanwhile, blogs are hot. AND you can capture names on them. (See my blog for details on how to do that.)

4. We’re no longer happy with passive activities. Maybe as a culture we’ve grown completely sick of sitting around doing nothing … all those hours of reality TV? We’ve n�w begun to expect to participate in our entertainment, even when it comes to reading websites. So blogs — which allow comments from readers — are the perfect medium. (This is also why my current theater project, at serenityhawkfire.com, is an entirely interactive theater piece.)

5. We’ve become a less formal culture. These days, our world is all untucked; clothing is big and slouchy, coffee is slurped in paper cups on the run. Even TV has let down its defenses, showing us as we ‘really’ are. So it makes sense that blogs, which feature faster, less formal entries more in the style of a diary, are becoming bigger than ezines. Blogs are casual. Ezines take planning, layout, require regular entries and take a lot more time.

6. Blogging is faster. How long does it take to make an entry? Five to ten minutes, I’d say. My ezine, meanwhile, takes 1-2 hours. Yes, you need to do more blog entries, but they’re hardly brain surgery. Instead, they are quick insights you offer up from your life on the go. And so they are read in the same spirit.

7. Blogs are beloved by the media. This is where a majority of all media research on who’s who and what they’re up to is n�w done. It used to be that your credibility as a media subject was evaluated strictly by your site; that’s where the media looked first to get a beat on you. Know they want to know what you’re posting on your blog — even if it doesn’t have a ‘media room’ like your site (hopefully you’d have that linked somehow in your margins.) And they want to know what kinds of posts and comments your getting.

If you’re still working on building up your ezine list, I recommend you beef it up by including a blog in your offerings. It will energize your website, attract Google and Yahoo ranking and generally create more buzz.

If you have a blog but have not maximized it by setting up a name capture tool, or do not post frequently, give that a whirl, too. You’ll be am�zed at who stops by!

And if you have thoughts on the tender blog-ezine dynamic, email them to me — or even better, drop by my blog and post them on the most recent comment. Then we’ll all be able to see them and add comments of our own.

Here’s to the continuing discussion. May your blog bring your platform, and set people talking!

Blog Your Way to a Successful Private Practice

What is a Blog?

Blogs are a type of website often defined as an on line journal or diary. Although there are many blogs where the blog author keeps a log of their own thoughts, experiences and ideas, bloggers also frequently share and discuss information from other sources.

Blogs typically focus on a certain topic and have frequent (sometimes daily) posts (or entries). Posts often link to other blogs or websites that discuss a similar topic. Many blogs are set up so that readers can add comments below each post.

Blogs have been around for about 8 years or so. Business blogs have become increasingly popular in the last couple of years, and especially in the last year.

Why Use Blogging To Market Your Practice

Counselors, therapists and other healing professionals often shy away from using technology when marketing their practices. While there are many effective ways to market your practice that don’t involve technology and the web, the Internet increasingly becomes an essential method to utilize when starting and marketing a practice.

Furthermore, if you market your practice on the Internet in addition to using offline techniques, you are creating a lot more exposure for your services. Blogs are just one more method of marketing your practice.

Fortunately, much of the technology involved in setting up and managing a blog is very simple. This makes it easy for you to manage and update content on a blog by yourself. You can get a blog up and running in a few minutes without having any technical skills whatsoever.

Blogs also are way to connect with your target market more personally. Because blogs are updated frequently, they allow “your voice” to come through more easily than a static website.
Finally, search engines love blogs because of their numerous and frequent posts as well as the common linking that occurs amongst those in the blogosphere (the blogging community).

How to Use Blogs To Market Your Practice

There are several ways you can utilize a blog to market your practice. You can start by posting interesting information on your blog that is valuable to your clients and potential clients.
There is nothing like quality, fresh content to keep your visitors coming back to your site. Building relationships with your target audience is key to having a successful private practice.
You can also market your practice through your blog by linking to other websites or blogs that provide information that your target market wants or needs.

You can be the filter for your clients and potential clients, posting up-to-date information on your area of specialization so they can keep up-to-date with their areas of interest.

Posting comments on other blogs related to your topic can increase back-links to your website which is important for your ranking in the search engines.

If you have a newsletter, you can have a sign-up box on your blog and/or you can put up a sign-up form so visitors can subscribe to receive notification when your blog has been updated.
Just like a website, you can also sell your services and products through your blog.

Blogging as a method of marketing your practice can be an effective method for building your reputation, gaining credibility, attracting more clients, and gaining more exposure.
It can be a great compliment to a traditional website– or if you don’t yet have a website, a blog can be a first step towards getting one.

If you decide to blog as a marketing strategy for your private practice, you might want to peruse the blogosphere (the community of blogs on the web) so you can get a better feel for blogging and the types of blogs that exist.
