Ilya Prigogine stated, “We are at a very exciting moment in history, perhaps a turning point". Lewis Mumford said that we stand on the brink of a new age, the age of an open world, a time of renewal when a fresh release of spiritual energy in the world culture may unleash new possibilities. "The sum of all our days is just our begioning".3
Spirituality, in the light of modern Physics, is defined as perceptoin of the Undivided Wholeness in Flowing Movement. It is a perception in the non-dual frame of reference in the mind spectrum. We see modern Physics as a simplification and an abstraction valid only in a limited context of spirituality. If we want to understand Paysics, we have to understand spirituality. Albert Einstein wrote, "Our new idea is simple : to build a physics valid for all coordinate systems” of the mind-brain system. To understand spirituality, we have to understand the dynamics of all possible coordinates of the mind-brain system and out of this will flow Physics and all other sciences. The nondual frame knows and perceives the truth, so it can create a new world of science and a new sane, nonviolent and logical society. We have to understand the relationship between science and mind or in other words, the interaction of man and nature as well as of man and man.
Physics In the Light of the Dynamics of the Mind-Brain System : Quantum Physics : Quantum physicists discovered that every act of observation made of an atom by a physicist disturbed the atom. The observer affects the observed. The "qwiff” is a "quantum wave function” that at best can describe the probability of the observation and not the actual observation. Thus qwiffs "flow" and qwiffs "pop". When the qwiff pops, the qwiff itself vanishes, or there is collapse of the quantum wave function. Each pop is a sudden disruption, a break from the past, a violation of the cause and effect. Eugene Wigner describes the process :
In other words, the impression...called also the result of an observation, modifies the wave function of the
