The relationship between mysticism and postmodernism is a complicated one, which we cannot consider in depth here. Mystics have often tried to claim that science has been distorted. It is surprising to learn that such a seemingly perverse world view is embraced by modern physicists . . . I propose that we stop trying to explain our mental experiences in terms of invisibly tiny objects arranged in patterns in 3-D space. Instead let us take our actual thoughts and sensations as the truly fundamental entities.
Science is outer empiricism, mysticism is inner empiricism . .
In the very act of interpreting the universe, we are creating the universe . It assigns a role to man that was once reserved for the gods. Mystical arguments are often based on quantum physics, following the line of the very popular book, The Tao of Physics , by Fritjof Capra. All three quantum observations support the notion that reality is brought into existence and maintained by the action of consciousness . In The Death of Truth , we examine each of these claims and the reasons for them in laymen's terms.
