How Quantum Physics and Mysticism Converge: Exploring Consciousness Beyond Time and Space

Quantum mechanics is fundamental to the unification of physics and mystical teachings, and one of its oldest and most widely embraced tenets is the Copenhagen Interpretation, where it is assumed that all quantum mechanically allowable states exist simultaneously. However, one only experiences a single, specific state of the universe at any instant, and never all states at once. This fact caused physicists to reason that whenever any observer interacts in any way with the universe, the infinitude of wave-states instantly collapses into the single state experienced by that observer. And of course, the universe would need to instantly re-inflate to all allowable states to be ready for the next collapse in the next instant, and on and on it goes. This is likely the most egregious insult ever to Occam’s Razor.

What you will see is that an exceptionally simple interpretation attributed to an ancient Tibetan, allows complete consistency between quantum mechanics and mystical teachings, without the contrivance of waveform collapse. Perhaps the greatest physicist in history never had any university degrees at all.

To summarize, each of us exists as consciousness attached to a mind and body, making sense of the universe by experiencing individual states in a causal sequence. Eventually we learn to detach from the body and explore the universe in a non-physical manner. Finally, we detach from the mind as well and experience the entire universe at once in the shared view called Universal, or God Consciousness.

We now have a literal understanding of where we are going, and that understanding came through the study of physics, or more specifically, quantum mechanics. And through that understanding, we realize that physics points us to an existence beyond time and space, to the realm described by the mystics. At this point, since mystical teachings have existed for thousands of years, one might claim that theoretical physicists must be guilty of poor scholarship. Why didn’t they seriously consider mystical teachings long ago?

Well, quantum mechanics had to be developed first, and then there is the reality that to receive research funding, professional physicists must largely restrict their research to topics currently receiving funding. Beyond that, anyone serious about researching mystical teachings must also be willing to undertake a decades-long contemplative study.

A purely intellectual study would fail. The second part of the statement attributed to Buddha earlier is that Understanding Without Meditation is Without Fruits. The benefits of contemplation or meditation are purely empirical. Without personal experience, one could not possibly know what they were talking about.o, Theoretical Physics has a Problem

So, Theoretical Physics has a Problem

Dr. Ring’s Study of Apparent Eyeless Vision reported that people who were totally blind, provided precise, corroborated visual accounts from their Near-Death, Out-of-Body Experiences which could not be due to hallucination. Blind people, incapable of forming images in the brain, instantly attained undistorted vision from a position somewhere outside and above the body after physical life could no longer be sustained.

When confronted by such evidence, the scientific community generally accepts that evidently it is common for consciousness and the mind to persist after death, in a non-physical existence outside the body.

However, realization soon sets in that this phenomenon presents a profound and unavoidable challenge to our understanding of physics, in that such perception of images occurs without physical matter absorbing electromagnetic energy. How did the images form if there was no matter, without electrons to absorb the energy? Since the blind develop crystal-clear vision during Near-Death-Experiences without any physical matter processing light, this proves mainstream physics alone is incapable of explaining the universe, and requires inclusion of non-physical processes. Fortunately, a simple interpretation from mystical studies together with quantum mechanics establishes a basis for complete understanding. At this point, it is clearly laughable to imagine that theoretical physics is anywhere close to a Theory of Everything.

It is remarkable that Dr. Ring’s research on Apparent Eyeless Vision establishes the reality of this non-physical process.  It is equally remarkable that this forces us to consider the unification of theoretical physics and mystical teachings in order to hope to be able to have a complete understanding of the entire universe.

Upon realizing that the universe consists of much more than purely physical manifestations, one might logically expect that mainstream physics could not possibly provide adequate descriptions of non-physical phenomena.  Fortunately, mystical teachings offer centuries of realizations and techniques to explore the full extent of the universe.

My decades of research have convinced me that there are a number of spiritual teachings which rise to this standard, so I do not promote any teaching over another.  However, in order to come to my conclusions, I have only had time to sufficiently study one such discipline in depth, and my experiences will reflect that teaching.  All of this points to the reality that empirical experience of the individual is necessary to gain complete understanding and freedom within the universe, and out-of-the body travel as taught by various mystical schools provides the means to do so.  Much more will be related in subsequent materials.

The Physics of Consciousness: Exploring Reality, Purpose, and the Mystical Universe

Theoretical physics exists to describe and understand the physical universe. Mystical teachings exist to describe and understand all of existence, far greater in scope than the physical universe alone. They overlap in their description and understanding of the physical universe, and at this level, they have been in apparent conflict for many centuries.

Physics considers physical existence to be completely real, and mystical teachings claim it is illusion. Long ago, in order to resolve just such issues, the study of physics took the position that if two different descriptions of the same system seemed to be in conflict, there must be an interpretation of each theory which shows them to be mutually consistent if they are both true. This assumption is called the Correspondence Principle.

No such interpretation could be found until the development of quantum mechanics. However, before we explore this quantum mechanical interpretation, we will discuss and answer the question of What are We? The answer will also relate How We Explore the Universe. Knowing what we are and how we function is essential to determining the fundamental nature of what is real. Once we have answered the question of what we are, we will address three other fundamental questions:

WHERE ARE WE?

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

WHY ARE WE HERE?

At this point, we will have developed an Understanding of Our Purpose, and How to Attain It. The need for this is characterized perfectly by a statement attributed to Buddha, in that Meditation without Understanding is Blind. In other words, if one is blind, finding what is sought will be extremely difficult.

The principle is to develop an understanding of how the universe works, and how consciousness operates within the universe. One can then utilize this understanding to attain complete freedom within the universe.

The Death of Materialism

What if the scientific community was to announce that we never need to die? As you may be aware, it is in a position to potentially resolve this possibility, yet reluctant to explore the necessary research to do so. Consider the historical prejudice that has guided science through history and which currently blocks further progress.

The scientific community has been embracing a false premise for over 2000 years. Not in bad faith, but simply due to the Doctrine of Materialism, which holds that all that is real and exists is composed purely of physical matter, and that phenomena such as mental states and consciousness are produced purely through brain activity. If that were true, that would mean complete understanding of the universe would be based on physical phenomena alone, and there would be no need to study or understand consciousness. The reason that this belief has ruled over science for so long is due to the fact that non-physical phenomena such as thought and consciousness had never been proven to exist independent of brain activity. On the other hand, if such non-physical phenomena are real and must be included, one’s first guess might be that this would greatly increase the complexity of the universe, and in one sense, this is perfectly accurate. However, we will see that this actually leads to the simplest possible understanding of our universe, revealing the most profound capabilities imaginable, where space-time phenomena are merely derivative of the bedrock reality of an eternal realm. First, one would need to establish whether non-physical phenomena are real or not.

In the 1960s, the psychiatrist Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross restricted her study of over 20,000 Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) to individuals who had been totally blind for at least 10 years prior to their Near-Death Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs).

Although these individuals were sightless, they provided visual accounts of activities during their OBEs which were corroborated by those in attendance. The psychologist Dr. Kenneth Ring followed up on her research, publishing a similar study of 31 blind subjects, one of which had had his eyes surgically removed at age four. Although this was definitive proof that sight could be accomplished by non-physical means, it couldn’t be proven that the brain wasn’t involved somehow, so there was no retreat from materialism.

However, in 1991, Pam Reynolds underwent complex brain surgery which required her body to be chilled to 600 F, causing the heart to stop, followed by draining all the blood from her brain. During this operation her brain was continuously monitored for any possible electrical activity by an EEG, which was flat-lined throughout the surgery, indicating complete absence of brain activity. Consistent with the results presented by Kübler-Ross and Ring, after the surgery, Pam Reynolds provided corroborated visual and auditory accounts of activities during the period when she was clinically dead. Consciousness was functional during a period when the brain was not. This is clinical proof that the Doctrine of Materialism is false. For more follow-up on NDE studies, there is a comprehensive, excellent, and lengthy interview of Dr. Jeffrey Long, which serves as further motivation to accept that consciousness does abandon the body at death, becoming completely independent of the body.

There have been more than 10 million reports of NDEs in the U.S., and those who experience them often describe them as overwhelming euphoric and dramatic, and often claim that nothing could possibly be greater than this. This is to be expected, as there are no other physical experiences remotely like an NDE. I shared exactly the same opinion for the twelve years following my own ND-OBE. It was only after I became familiar with mystical teachings that I realized separation of consciousness from the body can be accomplished at will, offering a means of exploration of the universe far beyond whatever could ever be accomplished by space travel within the physical universe.

Likely because NDEs are so common, there are many practitioners on the internet offering to teach various methods relating to separation of consciousness to communicate with the likes of deceased family members, or channel conversations with non-physical entities. However, these efforts haven’t been

taken seriously by the scientific community to promote the reality of non-physical phenomena, much less an even greater challenge that lies ahead. This greater challenge is that we must also explore the experience of consciousness going beyond all the realms of time and space, into what is known as the Eternal Realm, as mentioned in many religious and mystical texts. The most advanced mystical teachings throughout history spent as little time as possible exploring space-time realms, in order to advance as quickly as possible to attain experience within the Eternal Realm. Within my own efforts, I was fortunate to experience this realization and establish its reality, and report that this state is attainable well before climate change erases human existence from the planet.

The presentation on this website is to explore the implications resulting from the proof that consciousness is non-physical and survives death of the body. This reality requires that our universe consists both of physical and non-physical aspects, and that consciousness can intentionally be separated to explore all of existence. Mystical teachings have existed throughout history to assist any who are ready to undertake this exploration, and the fundamental purpose of this website is to present a practical approach which facilitates its realization.

One might imagine that the understanding of non-physical phenomena could also fill in gaps in our current understanding of physical science. However, mystical teachings emphasize that beyond establishing a primitive consciousness of causality, physical science is largely a distraction, and that the fundamental value of physical existence serves as preparation for exploration of the non-physical realms of the universe. In this view, development of technology certainly benefits our physical existence, but should be secondary in favor of the realization of our existence within the Eternal Realm.

Based on this premise, the reality and properties of consciousness require no further study. It is now time to focus on the utilization of consciousness, going far beyond speaking with deceased family members or channeling spirits, and beyond all the realms of space and time. One must awaken a higher state of consciousness to understand consciousness. This leads to the attainment of consciousness of the entirety of the universe.

As mentioned further in this study, the likelihood of anyone experiencing consciousness within the Eternal Realm on their own is vanishingly small, simply

due to the infinite nature of the universe. To achieve this realization requires the guidance of a master of the art of separation of consciousness, along with the dedicated practice of the individual. These are the two factors for success. I was able to experience this capability of consciousness in just under two years of study, and I have friends within the same teaching who have also achieved this experience. The likelihood of requiring multiple years of effort to accomplish this goal would seem prohibitive to many, but earning my Ph.D. took far longer, and in my judgement, the Ph.D. is not nearly as meaningful. And touching on Dr. Long’s interview where he mentioned that the vast majority of individuals recounting ND-OBEs emphasized the hyper-reality of the experience and their clarity of its memory over decades, I, too, believed that nothing could be more significant than my NDE for 12 years, until I undertook an intensive study of a mystical teaching. In comparison, I would describe my instant of experience within the Eternal Realm to be infinitely more significant than any NDE.

Consciousness is the only practical means of faster-than-light travel to explore the universe and find our true purpose within it. Every one of us has this capability. It is up to you when you choose to develop it.

Unlocking the Universe: The Journey of Consciousness Beyond the Physical Realm

The following is a conceptual representation of the structure and purpose of our universe. One version of the creation story begins in the eternal realm, when it is realized that if nothing interacts, it is impossible for the primitive consciousness in humans to form any understanding, as the meaning of “eternal” is “unchanging.” This necessitates consciousness taking on a body in the physical realm where the existence of interactions facilitates an understanding of cause and effect relationships. However, since consciousness doesn’t know any better, it mistakenly believes the physical realm to be the entirety of the universe. In fact, the physical realm is no more than the kindergarten-level of existence, where relationships are most easily comprehended. The fact that the overwhelming majority of individuals in this realm do not realize that this is just the first stage of the development of consciousness, ensures that many repetitions of the kindergarten phase will be necessary before advancing significantly within the universe.


During this introductory phase, physical beings come to realize that death of the physical body forces consciousness into the next higher realm of the universe, where consciousness inhabits a non-physical body. This realization is largely due to the accounts of a small fraction of the population reporting Near-Death, Out-of-Body Experiences (NDEs), as well as the teachings of mystical schools which explain that consciousness can detach from one’s body without causing death. Without developing this capability, science would likely never be able to understand the full extent of our universe while on this planet, as we are running out of time due to climate change.


As long as consciousness functions only from within a physical body, there would never be enough time to explore the physical universe. And just as the physical realm is too large to fully explore, the other space-time realms are also too big to explore. The only practical way to complete the exploration is to seek guidance from one who has mastered Out-of-Body travel throughout all space-time realms. At least one such master living in a physical body is always available for this purpose. Such a master also serves as proof that, if a living individual is able to complete this journey within one lifetime, then so can you, as you both exist as consciousness within physical bodies.

Simple Comparison –– Material vs. Non-Material

In view of the Pam Reynolds story, and the approaching reality that it is exceptionally unlikely that we will be able to explore any significant fraction of the physical universe before our planet becomes uninhabitable:
The capability of physical exploration of the entire material universe –– 0%
The capability of non-physical exploration of all aspects of the universe –– 100%
Dependence of physical existence on existence of consciousness –– Complete
Dependence of existence of consciousness on material existence –– None
This satisfies the scientific quest of the ages to attain an understanding of the entire universe. The benefit derived from the physical realm comes through
developing an understanding of causality, followed by the eventual realization that consciousness survives the physical realm. The awakening of consciousness throughout the non-physical realms of time and space serves to reveal that the universe is effectively infinite, and that one must secure the guidance of those who have the knowledge of the universe beyond time and space, the Eternal Realm, in order to complete the evolution of consciousness within any practical amount of time.

As long as the scientific community supports the Doctrine of Materialism, this is equivalent to proclaiming that consciousness cannot survive death. And if science were to accept the evidence that consciousness survives death, that would be equivalent to finally confessing that there is much more to the universe than has been taught. As long as science maintains that consciousness does not survive death, this can only delay the discovery of our true nature. This is science denying its true purpose. Accepting the true nature of consciousness would be the greatest advancement ever for science. It is time to leave black holes to the movies. There are monumentally significant realizations for each individual to attain by turning the attention away from the physical to explore non-physical realities.
