Quantum

A discrete bundle of energy; the lowest denomination of energy or other physical quantities that can be exchanged.

Material Realism

Belief that matter is primary; consciousness is secondary or illusory.

Primacy of Matter

The idea that matter exists independently and consciousness is a byproduct.

Objectivity

The belief that observers do not affect reality; everything exists independently.

Determinism

The principle that the universe operates under predictable laws.

Locality

The concept that nothing can influence anything else faster than light; everything is separate.

Epiphenomenal Mind

The notion that the mind is just a byproduct of the brain with no real power.

Consciousness

The ground of being that manifests as the subject that chooses and experiences reality.

Awareness

The 'space' of the mind that distinguishes objects of consciousness.

Mind

The organization and functions of the brain, including its uncharted quantum aspects.

Brain-computer comparison

The brain works with quantum possibilities and is influenced by consciousness, unlike a computer.

Body

Describes the body as the 'manifestation instrument' for consciousness.

Reality

All that is the case, comprising both local and nonlocal aspects.

Maslow's Hierarchy

Framework showing that humans experience creativity, intuition, and nonlocal awareness beyond biological survival.

Cognitive Dissonance

Inner conflict arising from clashes between ego-based conditioning and deeper awareness.

Material vs. Self-discovery

Material view perceives individuals as mechanical; self-discovery view sees consciousness exploring itself.

Predictability of Motion

Classical physics argues motion is predictable, while quantum physics reveals events happen probabilistically.

Pavlov and no free will

Materialists argue humans are stimulus-response machines, but consciousness can override conditioning.

Essence of Truth

Truth remains when illusion and conditioning fall away; it is more than mere facts.

Quantum choice

The ability to make choices at the quantum level that counters the mind as a machine.

Qualia

Subjective experiences that machines lack; includes free choice, nonlocal awareness, and creativity.

Anomalies

Experiences such as remote viewing and intuition that materialism cannot explain.

Light-energy

Demonstrates duality; both wave and particle until consciousness collapses it, showing potential becoming actual.

Measuring electrons

Observation collapses electron wave function; they don't exist as solid entities until measured.

Electron Firefly story

Observing quantum particles changes their behavior, illustrating the effect of observation on existence.

Fireplace-tanning story

Energy influences matter nonlocally, indicating that matter isn't solid and separate.

What creates existence?

Consciousness choosing from quantum possibilities is what creates existence.

Mysticism

Mystics experience the unity behind appearances, aligning their insights with quantum nonlocality.

Schrodinger's cat

Illustrates that reality is not fully real until experienced, as the cat is both dead and alive.

Ying-Yang and religions

Opposites are complementary; many religions reflect the unity of duality akin to quantum paradoxes.
