This is a journey through time and space starting before time began and ending with a glimpse into the future. It takes the traveler through the abstract land of Thought-Space to witness how our universe began, from a moment of nothingness to the evolution of living things and into the unimaginable complexity of what we see today.
It does this by directly confronting the perplexing paradoxes that evolve from many of today’s scientific theories; and offers in their place, a common sense viewpoint. Some of the elements of parapsychology are also included, warranted by solid foundations of evidence. However, the gist of this work sticks dogmatically to the principles of quantum dynamics, the subject that faithfully survives every challenge from the Newtonian viewpoint.
Idealism began as a philosophy nearly 4000 years ago and has been largely ignored by western civilization ever since. However, it reappears in this essay in the name of ‘Quantum Idealism’, and centers on the theme of ‘Interpretative Reality’.
A special effort has been made to guide the traveler into a space where he feels at home with the realization that the physical world is merely a reflection of the true reality. This book is short and a quick read consisting of these sections:
