Self Actualization

I don't think Einstein was smiling about this .....

It occurred to me, in my humble readings, that quantum physics is suggesting that the physical world is a web of relationships between particles, mass, energy, or whatever -- that derives it's very definition from the whole that it forms. One can think of it as almost a loose collective consciousness. Individually, these particles cannot be studied or observed and by themselves don't mean very much.

Without an observer's perception of the world around us, according to Schrodinger's equation, the universe is just a series of possibilities with no end. I like the sound of that !! Well endless -- until we look at the universe -- in which case our perception interrupts Schrodinger's wave function of possibilities.

Here is an example -- you walk up to a random door and cannot tell if whether the light is on or off in the room behind it. Until you open it and actualize or perceive one state or the other , the wave function of possibilities just continue on -in effect it is both off and on. The effect of perception (or in this case opening the door) is that the wave function collapses with the exception of the state we perceive as REALITY.

Here is what is most interesting ... We are in fact actualizing the universe. Because we are part of the universe -- that suggests that we are self-actualizing!
