Dear Readers,
Let us start this blog content with Gautam Buddha (563 BCE to 483 BCE) famous Quote. “ALL THAT WE ARE IS THE RESULT OF WHAT WE HAVE THOUGHT”.
Rhonda Byrne Book “SECRET” Says that “REMEMBER THAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE
THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF EVERY THING”. Human
Thoughts are non Physical entity but exist in the form of ENERGY. Does Thought Energy
is so powerful to create good or bad events or physical things in our life
?
In olden days the Philosophers and Scientists were trying to find an answer
for HOW LIFE WORKS ? & HOW HUMAN THOUGHT ENERGY CAN CREATE PHYSICAL THING
IN OUR LIFE ? Due to the absence of
scientific evidence, there were always
debate about the influence of
MIND (Thought Energy) over MATTER (Physical thing) and vice versa.
Historically there were TWO schools of Thought were prevailing about
LIFE PHILOSOPHY and arguments were always between
- Materialistic Philosophy
- Spiritual Philosophy (Dualistic)
Let us understand the views of TWO schools of Thoughts about
MATERIALISM & SPIRITUALISM from
1. ANCIENT HINDU VEDIC PERIOD
2. CLASSICAL PHYSICS / NEWTONIAN PERIOD (1500 - 1930)
3. QUANTUM PHYSICS (1930 ONWARDS)
1.ANCIENT HINDU VEDIC PERIOD
HINDU VEDIC
PERIOD MATERIALISTIC PHILOSOPHY : During Ancient Hindu Rig Vedic period
(1000 BCE) SAGE BRIHASPATI is known for his theory of MATERIALISM and ANTI-THEISM. His preachings were the foundation of CHARVAKA
school of Thought in India. The CHARVAKA essential philosophies were :
1.Direct perception is the only means of establishing and accepting
any truth What cannot be perceived and
understood by the senses does not exist.
Simply means Material or Physical things are real.
2.The ultimate good in life is pleasure and the only evil is pain. Pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain is the
sole purpose of human existence
3.Religion is an invention of the strong and clever people who uses the
weak people.
HINDU VEDIC
PERIOD SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY : In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna talks
about THOUGHT in a SPIRITUAL way as “For
him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one
who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.” Bhagavad
Gita 6.6”
2. CLASSICAL/NEWTONION PERIOD (500 –
1930)
CLASSICAL
NEWTONIAN PERIOD MATERIALISTIC PHILOSOPHY :
A Greek Philosopher DEMOCRITUS (460-370 BC) Profound MATERIAL
Philosophy stating that “WHAT YOU SEE
(PHYSICALLY) IS WHAT YOU GET”.
During 16 Century a FRENCH PHILOSOPHER RENE DESCARTES who tried to
study HUMAN LIFE, classified life into
two categories. Physical Things
(eg Human Body and other physical matters) and Non Physical Things such as Mind
& Energy, SPACE, TIME etc. MIND,
ENERGY & SPACE are considered as META PHYSICS as it cannot be perceived by
Humans and measured scientifically during that period due to lack of scientific
tools. RENE DESCARTES classified all those things which are physical
by nature like Body, Physical Matter under SCIENTIFIC STUDY and those META
PHYSICS concepts like MIND, ENERGY, SPACE etc are under SPIRITUAL (RELIGIOUS)
STUDY. RENE DESCARTES also proposed that there is NO CONNECTION between BODY
& MIND and they have NO INFLUENCE on each other.
Sir Issac Newton who came later supported RENE DESCARTES theory. Newton treated UNIVERSE as a CELESTIAL MACHINE (MATERIALISTIC) and hence according
to Newton, UNIVERSE CONTAINS MATTER WHICH IS MADE UP OF PARTICLES. Newton also
proposes that ENERGY is an External Force to MOVE objects or to CHANGE the
Physical State of Matter (Refer given below Table for more clarification). From
the beginning of 16th Century till early 19th Century the Classical Newtonian
model was widely accepted and recognized by the SCIENTIFIC Community.
CLASSICAL
NEWTONIAN PERIOD SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY :
During the same period another
Greek Philosopher SOCRATES 470 – 399 BC, proposed that “VITALISM (Soul or
Energy) WHICH IS INVISIBLE ENERGY THAT GIVE SHAPE TO A MATTER”. Basically he profound that Mind-Energy shape up the
Matter and that laid foundation to Quantum Physics.
3. QUANTUM PHYSICS (1930 ONWARDS)
With the advent of Quantum Physics by 1930, started challenging the
NEWTONIAN concept that UNIVERSE is CELESTIAL MACHINE and it contains
MATTER. The Quantum Physicists like David
Bohm & Albert Einstein observed that, “THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENTS OF
OUR SO-CALLED PHYSICAL WORLD ARE BOTH
WAVES (ENERGY) AND PARTICLES (PHYSICAL MATTER).
The drastic shift in PARADIGM from Classical / Newtonian approach to
Quantum Physics, enable us to study the impact of Mind over Matter. I give below a table of contents explaining
details how QUANTUM PHYSICS differs from Classical / Newtonian Physics. Go through the given below table carefully
and understand the concepts clearly. This is the crux of the Quantum Physics and
request you not to proceed further without understanding the details in depth. If
you have any query about the table content, write comment so that I will clarify
the same.

SNo |
CLASSICAL (MATERIALISTIC PHILOSOPHY) (SIR ISSAC NEWTON / DEMOCRITUS / RENE
DESCARTES) |
MODERN (DUALISTIC PHILOSOPHY) (ALBERT EINSTEIN / QUANTUM PHYSICS) |
|
1 |
No connection between MATTER (Physical) and MIND
ie THOUGHT ENERGY (Meta Physics) |
All MATTER
(physical) at Sub Atomic level is energy. Human THOUGHT is also energy
& hence both are connected and influence each other |
|
2 |
Basis Newton Mechanic principle, the MIND (Thought) had NO / Little influences on MATTER(Physical) / outcome Note : Philosophically FATE, DESTINY or GOD decides our
material world or outcome |
Quantum Physics emphasis that MIND (Thought) influences the MATTER (physical) |
|
3 |
According to classical Newtonian physics model all MATTERs are made up
of particles. |
According to Quantum Physics, the most fundamental
components of our so-called physical world (MATTER) are both waves
(Energy) and particles (physical matter), |
|
4 |
Energy is an external force
to MOVE
objects (eg steam energy to pull train) or
to CHANGE the physical state of matter (eg heat energy to
convert water to steam) |
Energy is very fabric (basic) of
all material things and this energy is responsive to mind energy Albert Einstein LAW : E = mc^2 demonstrating that energy and matter are so
fundamentally related that they are one and the same. Essentially, his work showed that MATTER & ENERGY are completely
interchangeable Note : All religions emphasis that
ENERGY (God) is existing in every
thing (living or non living) and every where |
|
5 |
All physical matters are made up of an ATOM. People
believed that an atom was made of a relatively solid nucleus with smaller,
less substantial objects (electron, proton etc) either located in or around
it. Atoms seemed to be made of
solid stuff.
All matters is more of particles |
All physical matters are made up of an ATOM. Quantum model state that Atoms are mostly empty space and are energy. The atom is 99.99999 percent energy and .00001 percent matter. Think about this: everything physical in your life is not solid
matter—rather, it’s all fields of energy or
frequency patterns of information. All matter is more of energy than particles. |
|
6 |
We led to believe that electrons orbited about the
nucleus like planets around the sun? If so, we could pinpoint their location. |
The electron in an atom
exists as a wave of probability (Energy) in one moment, and then in
the next moment appears as a solid particle (Physical matter), then
disappears into nothing, and then reappears at another location. Quantum experiments demonstrated that electrons exist simultaneously in an infinite array of possibilities or probabilities in an invisible field of energy (ie an atom). But only when an observer focuses attention on any location of any one electron does that electron appear. In other words, a particle cannot manifest in reality—that is, ordinary space-time as we know it—until we observe it. Quantum physics calls this phenomenon “collapse of the wave function” or the “observer effect.” We now know that the moment
the observer looks for an electron, there is a specific point in time and
space when all probabilities of the electron collapse into a physical event.
With this discovery, mind and matter can no longer be considered separate;
they are intrinsically related, because subjective mind produces measurable
changes on the objective, physical world. |
From the above table especially point 2, Quantum Physics clearly
states that the mind as thought energy, plays pivot role in shaping up the
materials and events in to one's life.
Also I would like to pay more attention to point 6. Once again I am explaining this concept in a
simple way. When a group of scientists
tried to focus their attention to look for an electron through instrument
intensively, suddenly the electron appears / falls from wave form to particle
at specific time. The time varies
according to the observers attention.
The scientists are not able to figure out the reason for TIME LAG according
to observers attention.
Now let us come to LAW OF ATTRACTION (LOA) subject. Lot of LOA users are in dilemma that for the
same identical desire different people are getting result with varying time
period. For example one LOA user wish is
getting fulfilled in 1 Year and for another LOA user the same identical wish
comes true after 3 Years. Why such TIME
LAG / Variation in getting desired result for the same wish, when all other
parameters are same.
According to me, If the scientists could find the reason to explain scientifically
for the TIME LAG while observing electrons between different observers, they
can unfold the mystery of time variation in other LOA issues as stated above. This is my personal
opinion and I am not sure whether my thinking is right. I am just expressing my view only. Probably Quantum Physicist can throw light on
this subject.
So far we have touched upon the topic How Mind can influence the
outside material world (wealth). But we
will get into more details about this latter along with, How our Mind &
Thought energy can influence our Physical well being in scientific way.
In the Next blog we will learn about Brain, Mind (Conscious & Sub Conscious), Thought, Memory and Perception in details. This will help Readers to Understand LAW OF ATTRACTION Concepts. These concepts also are foundation to the SELF DEVELOPMENT topics.
